Method for selecting access point and device

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for selecting an access point and a device. The method produces a candidate list according to a frame content transmitted by the access point, and verifies the access points in the candidate list one by one according to the candidate list to select the access point for starting a person identification number. During producing the candidate list, the access point for starting the person identification number is sequenced to a high priority level position so as to remove the access points of non-Wi-Fi protecting device and the access points for starting button allocation.

Description

technical field

[0001] The present invention relates to a communication system, specifically to a method and device for selecting an access point. Background technique

[0002] A Wi-Fi protected setup (WPS) device provides an easy and secure wireless network connection protocol. Traditionally, users need to manually set the service set identifier (SSID) and use wired equivalent privacy (WEP) or Wi-Fi protected access (WPA) to Establish a secure wireless network connection. However, in the traditional setting method, the user not only needs to have background knowledge about wireless networks, but also needs to enter a complex encryption key to obtain a network connection during the connection process. On the contrary, in addition to being easy to operate, the station (station) or access point (access point, AP) set by Wi-Fi protection provides Wi-Fi protection access and Wi-Fi protection access 2 (WPS2) in terms of information security. ) and other encryption methods. ...

Embodiment Construction

[0012] figure 1 A schematic diagram showing a wireless network. The wireless network includes a station 11 and a plurality of access points 12 to 15, wherein the access point 12 is an access point of non-Wi-Fi protected setup (Wi-Fi protected setup, WPS), and the access point 13 is a button The access point is enabled by push button configuration, and the access point 14 and the access point 15 are access points enabled by personal identification number (PIN).

[0013] figure 2 A flowchart showing a method for selecting an access point according to an embodiment of the present invention. This implementation example will illustrate how the station 11 selects an access point with Wi-Fi protection setting and PIN enabled and completes the verification procedure. In step S201, the station 11 starts the process of selecting an access point. In step S202, a channel scanning procedure is performed. In the 802.11 standard specified by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics ...
