Wireless network scanning method and system

Abstract

The invention discloses a wireless network scanning method and a wireless network scanning system. The wireless network scanning method is applied to an electronic device, and comprises the following steps of: receiving an operation; setting at least one waiting time length corresponding to a wireless network scanning program from a preset time length to a given time length correspondingly to the operation; executing the wireless network scanning program according to the given time length; and when the wireless network scanning program is finished, setting the waiting time length from the given time length back to the preset time length. By the method and the system, access point scanning in a wireless network can be additionally managed, thereby improving the wireless network scanning efficiency and simultaneously achieving the effect of power saving under the condition of not modifying a module or hardware.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a wireless network scanning method and system, and in particular to a method and system capable of performing additional management on access point scanning in a wireless network. Background technique [0002] With the popularization of portable devices, the application of wireless networks has gradually attracted attention. Companies that provide wireless network access services must set up infrastructure, such as access points (Access Point) to provide users with their portable devices to connect and log in. Generally, when the user wants to use the wireless network, the user must turn on the wireless network access module of the portable device. The wireless network access module can perform the function of wireless network scanning to know available wireless network service providers in the surrounding environment. [0003] Based on the requirements of cost reduction and low power consumption, the functions and mo...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] Based on the above reasons, when the user executes the wireless network scanning program in a complex wireless network environment with many wireless network access points, the scanning results (wireless network access) that the user sees on the wireless network scanning interface points) will be less or incomplete

Such a result is not comfortable enough for the user, and it is easy to cause the user to misunderstand the portable device and the wireless network environment

For example, a specific wireless network access point is in the current environment, but this specific wireless network access point cannot be scanned all the time; this time the specific wireless network access point is scanned, but the next scan cannot scan this specific wireless network access point Wireless network access point; or the same location, but the results of each scan are inconsistent

In this way, it not only increases the doubts of users and causes inconvenience in operation, but also reduces the confidence and evaluation of related devices and products, which in turn affects the sales of products.
