Selection method for rapidly obtaining hotspot information

Abstract

The present invention is to provide a selection method for rapidly obtaining hotspot information, which is applicable to a wireless communication system including at least one mobile terminal device capable of performing a site survey and transmitting a probe request, a plurality of wireless hotspot devices each capable of receiving the probe request, reading a terminal identifier in the probe request and sending the terminal identifier out, and a server of a telecommunication company capable of receiving the terminal identifier. After receiving the terminal identifier, the server compares the terminal identifier against user data in a user database and then sends a text message to the mobile terminal device when determining that the terminal identifier is already registered in the user database, wherein the text message includes SSID and password of a wireless hotspot device to which the mobile terminal device can currently choose to connect for interconnecting the Internet.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method for connecting hotspot information, in particular to a method in which a telecommunications company server sends information about wireless hotspot devices that a mobile terminal device can currently choose to establish a connection to the mobile terminal device in the form of a short message. Background technique [0002] The so-called "wireless network" uses radio waves as the medium. At present, the most widely used wireless network signals in Taiwan are WIFI signals and 3G signals. Therefore, existing mobile terminal devices (such as: smart phones, tablet computers) Most of them have wireless modules that can receive WIFI signals and 3G signals. [0003] Now briefly introduce the relevant information of WIFI and 3G. It can be found that WIFI uses the IEEE802.11 standard. Because of its cheap price and easy construction, schools, enterprises and government agencies all use WIFI to build a wireless network en...

However, although the aforementioned method can effectively disperse the number of mobile terminal devices using the 3G network, it still has some shortcomings. The main reason is that when the user needs to use the current "hot spot" network service, he must select the currently available "hot spot" service Only by setting the identification code (SSID) and entering the corresponding password can a connection be established with the "hot spot" to use the network services provided by the "hot spot". Because mobile terminal devices often search for many service setting identifiers, but these service setting identifiers are not all "hotspots" and include wireless networks for private use. The list of service setting identification codes) is usually extremely lengthy, causing users troubles in identification and selection. This situation will also reduce the user's willingness to use "hotspots", causing users to continue to use the original hotspot in order to avoid trouble. Some 3G services cannot achieve the original diversion purpose of the operators
