Wireless network setting method and system for smart home appliances

Abstract

The invention provides a wireless network setting method and a wireless network setting system of an intelligent household electrical appliance. The intelligent household electrical appliance can enter a client mode and is connected with a wireless network access point; the intelligent household electrical appliance can also enter an access point mode and is directly connected with a portable electronic device; after wireless network connection is finished, the access point mode can be switched into a concealed SSID (service set identifier) mode; and when a service set identifier and a login password of the wireless network access point which is connected to the intelligent household electrical appliance are recorded into the portable electronic device, the portable electronic device can automatically transmit the service set identifier and the login password to the intelligent household electrical appliance, and the setting operation of a wireless network is simplified. In addition, when the intelligent household electrical appliance is in the concealed SSID mode, the client mode can also be maintained, the intelligent household electrical appliance is still connected with the portable electronic device, but the client mode cannot be displayed on an available wireless network list of the portable electronic device. The wireless network setting system has the advantages of complete function and convenience in operation.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a smart home appliance (Smart HomeApplications) with a wireless network connection function, and specifically refers to a setting method and system for setting the aforementioned smart home appliance to connect to a wireless network by using a portable electronic product, which has the advantages of convenient operation and The advantage of fast setup. Background technique [0002] With the rise of the wave of networking, electrical appliances in the home, such as air conditioners, refrigerators, and water heaters, have also begun to have the function of connecting to the Internet. They are used to combine cloud computing (Cloud Computing) to develop into smart home appliances, bringing convenient control and Energy saving potential is a rapidly growing market. [0003] Most of the general household appliances only have a small-sized display, or have no display, or are installed in a position where the user is not easy...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, the aforementioned network setting operations require the user to manually key in the Service Set Identifier (SSID) of the connected wireless network, which is not convenient enough for operation.

In addition, after the user completes the setting operation and establishes a connection between the Internet device and the wireless network, the Internet device can be changed to the client mode (Client Mode), so that the portable electronic device cannot scan the existing wireless network. Searching for Internet-connected devices can prevent the display screen of the portable electronic device itself from being too complicated, but in this way, the portable electronic device cannot be directly connected to the Internet-connected device, but must be indirectly connected to the Internet-connected device through a wireless network. Increase the trouble of remote control operation

[0005] If there are multiple smart home appliances (that is, the aforementioned Internet access devices) connected to the home wireless network in the user's home, once the user changes the service setting identification code of the home network, or the home network is disconnected, then these smart appliances Home appliances are all set to access point mode, and users have to set the wireless network settings of each smart home appliance one by one through the portable electronic device, which will be very troublesome
