Embodiment 1

[0024] In the solution of the embodiment of the present invention, before selecting a suitable WIFI access point for the terminal's access network service, the information of the available WIFI access points in the environment where the terminal is located should first be determined, and these information should be recorded in the terminal In order to use the recorded information of available WIFI access points to select a WIFI access point when the terminal requests to access the network. The method for determining the information of the available WIFI access points in the environment where the terminal is located is described below through the first embodiment.

[0025] like figure 1 As shown, it is a method for determining the information of each available WIFI access point in the environment where the terminal is located in Embodiment 1 of the present invention, and the method flow is as follows:

[0026] Step 101. Determine available WIFI access points in the environment...

Embodiment 2

[0044] like figure 2 As shown, Embodiment 2 of the present invention provides a method for selecting a WIFI access point to access the network, and the method flow is as follows:

[0045] Step 201. When receiving a network connection request from a terminal, determine a destination address included in the network connection request.

[0046] When an application program in the terminal initiates a network connection request, the selection of the WIFI access point is triggered, and the destination address included in the network connection request is determined.

[0047] This step may be the trigger condition of Embodiment 1, or the available WIFI related information may have been recorded in the terminal according to the manner of Embodiment 1 when this step is executed.

[0048] Step 202: Determine the WIFI access point whose access range information matches the destination address among the available WIFI access points in the environment where the terminal is located.

Abstract

The invention provides a method and device for selecting a WIFI (Wireless Fidelity) access point to access to a network. The method specifically comprises the following steps that: when a terminal initiates a network connection request, the terminal is matched with the access range of each usable WIFI access point according to a target address contained in the network connection request; and when at least one WIFI access point of which the access range can reach a target network appointed by the network connection request exists, any one WIFI access point can be selected for the terminal to access to the target network. Each selectable WIFI access point is the usable WIFI access point and can realize the access function, and the connection range meets the requirements of the network connection request, so that the terminal can successfully access to the target network appointed by the network connection request, and services can be executed smoothly.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of wireless networks, in particular to a method and device for selecting a WIFI access point to access a network. Background technique [0002] Wireless fidelity (WIFI, Wireless Fidelity) technology, like Bluetooth technology, belongs to short-distance wireless communication technology used in offices or homes. WIFI network is a wireless network composed of WIFI access points (AP, AccessPoint) and wireless network cards. Among them, the AP is the bridge between the wired network and the wireless network. Any terminal equipped with a wireless network card can share the resources of the wired LAN or even the wired WAN through the AP. Its working principle is equivalent to a hub with a built-in wireless transmitter ( HUB) or a router, and the wireless network card is the client device responsible for receiving the signal transmitted by the AP, and the terminal with the wireless network card is quickly connected to the ta...
