Method and device for using wireless local area network service

Abstract

A method and device for using Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) services are provided by the embodiments of the present invention. The method for using WLAN services includes: transmitting a registration request message in a Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) mode, wherein the transmitted HTML request message carries the status code for applying for starting WLAN services, and the registration request message is transmitted to a specific WLAN service server; in the HTML mode, receiving the registration response message transmitted by the WLAN service server and associated with the registration request message, wherein the received registration response message carries the registration information for the authentication of the WLAN services; parsing the registration response message to acquire the registration information and storing the registration information to use it for the authentication of the WLAN services. It is convenient for the user to apply for and use WLAN services, and the registration and authenticated usage of WLAN services can be implemented automatically, thus the complicated setting and manual operation are avoided.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the present invention relate to the field of wireless communication, and more specifically, embodiments of the present invention relate to methods and devices for using wireless local area network (WLAN) services. Background technique [0002] Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) services are increasingly popular. The user can use the WLAN network provided by the mobile network operator to surf the Internet conveniently in the WLAN coverage area (that is, the hotspot). Currently, the operations for applying for and using WLAN services are relatively complicated, involving cumbersome setting and authentication processes. The traditional WLAN authentication method is that the terminal uses the S(U)IM card as the authentication vector to communicate with the Authentication, Authorization, Accounting (Authentication, Authorization, Accounting, "AAA") interaction realizes unified authentication, and the system automatically completes the auth...
