Embodiment 1

[0028] figure 2 It is a flowchart of a method for a mobile terminal to access a WLAN hotspot according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention, as shown in figure 2 shown, including the following steps:

[0029] In step S202, the mobile terminal searches for a WLAN hotspot that is available in its current area and corresponds to the MCC / MNC of the mobile terminal.

[0030] Step S204, if yes, identify the authentication type for accessing the WLAN hotspot.

[0031] Step S206, accessing the WLAN hotspot according to the authentication type.

[0032] In the first embodiment above, by automatically identifying the WLAN hotspot corresponding to the MCC / MNC of the mobile terminal and the authentication type for accessing the WLAN hotspot, the operation of accessing the WLAN hotspot by the mobile terminal is simple and user experience is improved.

[0033] Wherein, in step S202, a lookup table can be established in the mobile terminal, and the MCCMNC information of each operato...

Embodiment 2

[0040] In this embodiment, the mobile terminal accesses the WLAN hotspot of China Mobile, and the authentication method adopted is the open authentication mentioned above.

[0041] image 3 It is a flowchart of a method for a mobile terminal to access a WLAN hotspot according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention, such as image 3 shown, including the following steps:

[0042] In step S302, the name of the WLAN hotspot of China Mobile is CMCC, and when the card of China Mobile is inserted into the mobile terminal, the WLAN hotspot with the name of CMCC is automatically searched.

[0043] Step S304, if the mobile terminal is within the range of the hotspot of the CMCC, it is automatically identified that the authentication mode of the hotspot is open authentication.

[0044]Step S306, after the mobile terminal automatically connects to the hotspot, the browser application pops up, prompting the user to enter the user name and password, and if the user has saved his user na...

Embodiment 3

[0046] In this embodiment, the mobile terminal accesses the hotspot of China Unicom's W+W two-network integration, and China Unicom's W+W integration is the integration of WCDMA and WLAN. Its WLAN hotspot uses the card-based EAP-SIM / AKA authentication method, and needs to establish a tunnel.

[0047] Figure 4 It is a flowchart of a method for a mobile terminal to access a WLAN hotspot according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention, as shown in Figure 4 shown, including the following steps:

[0048] Step S402, when China Unicom's SIM / USIM card is inserted into the mobile terminal, it is first judged whether it is a SIM card or a USIM. If it is a SIM card, EAP-SIM authentication is selected by default, and if it is a USIM card, EAP-SIM is selected by default. AKA authentication.

[0049] Step S404, then look up the table to search for WLAN hotspots of China Unicom. The terminal will automatically complete the authentication process and connect to the WLAN hotspot.

Abstract

The invention provides a mobile terminal and a method for accessing a mobile terminal into a wireless local area network (WLAN) hotspot, wherein the method comprises the following steps: searching whether available WLAN hotspots corresponding to MCC / MNC (Mobile Country Code / Mobile Network Code) of the mobile terminal exist in the current area by the mobile terminal; if yes, identifying the authentication types of the accessed WLAN hotspots; and accessing the WLAN hotspots according to the authentication types. According to the invention, the WLAN hotspots corresponding to the MCC / MNC (Mobile Country Code / Mobile Network Code) of the mobile terminal and the authentication types of the WLAN hotspots can be automatically identified, so that the accessing operation is simple and the user experience can be improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the communication field, in particular to a method for a mobile terminal to access a wireless local area network hotspot and the mobile terminal. Background technique [0002] With the continuous development of WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network, wireless local area network), 3G network, and intelligent mobile terminals. Now almost all wireless operators provide users with two ways of accessing data services: GPRS (General Packet Radio Service, General Packet Radio Service) and WLAN. figure 1 Two access modes of data services are shown. The GPRS method is a traditional method; the WLAN method is a method developed in recent years. It is a good supplement to the GPRS method. It has the characteristics of low cost, low tariff and fast data transmission speed, so users usually use You want to prioritize automatic connections to available WLAN hotspots. [0003] Each operator adopts different authentication methods when c...
