Method and device for sharing access point information

Abstract

The invention discloses method and device for sharing access point information, and belongs to the technical field of network. The method comprises the steps of receiving a sharing request sent by a first terminal, wherein the sharing request carries the first access point information which is successfully connected successfully, and the first access point information includes at least a first access point identifier and a first access point password; acquiring the quantity of terminals which are successfully connected with the first access point; if the quantity of the terminals exceeds the first specified threshold, adding the first access point information to a public database, wherein the public database is used for storing access point information which can be shared. According to the method, the access point is determined to be the public access point and then the access point information is added to the public database to be shared to other terminals later, and therefore, the access point information of exclusive access points can be avoided sharing, the password is difficulty leaked, and as a result, the owner of the exclusive access points can be avoided loss.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of network technology, in particular to a method and device for sharing access point information. Background technique [0002] With the development and popularization of wireless network technology, people's daily life is inseparable from wireless network. In order to provide users with free wireless network services, most areas will deploy Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity, Wireless-Fidelity) network Access points, such as shopping malls, hotels, office buildings, or residences, etc., users can use mobile terminals to connect to these access points, thereby accessing the Wi-Fi network. [0003] The mobile terminal can obtain nearby access points through scanning, and then connect to the access point according to the access point password input by the user on the mobile terminal. The connection process requires the user to input the password of the access point, and the operation is relatively cumbersome. In order to simpli...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

In the above sharing process, it is impossible to determine whether the access point is a private access point or a public access point. If the access point is a private access point, sharing the password of the access point will cause the password to be leaked, giving access point owner brings loss
