Wireless network access method and device for intelligent household appliance

Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of communication, and discloses a wireless network access method and a wireless network access device for an intelligent household appliance. The method is applied to the intelligent household appliance, and comprises the steps of establishing a connection with a terminal device in an access point (AP) mode; receiving information related to an access wireless network from the terminal device; and using the received information related to the access wireless network to establish the connection with the wireless network. According to the method and device provided by the invention, the intelligent household appliance can access the wireless network without switching between the AP mode and the STA mode, the wireless network access operation process of the intelligent household appliance is simplified, and the affect on implementing other functions of the intelligent household appliance is avoided.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of wireless communication, in particular to a method and device for smart home appliances to access a wireless network. Background technique [0002] With the development of home appliance technology, smart home appliances have more and more functions. For example, a smart home appliance has a WiFi function, and the smart home appliance can be used as a station device to connect to an AP (access point) or a wireless router in a wireless network. When a smart home appliance accesses a wireless network, it needs to know the corresponding identifier of the AP or router in the wireless network, such as SSID (Service Set Identifier), and corresponding security verification information, such as a password. However, since the smart home appliance may not have the conditions to display the network configuration interface, how the smart home appliance obtains the information associated with accessing the wireless netw...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] The problem with the existing technology is that the smart home appliance needs to start the AP mode first, and then switch from the AP mode to the STA mode, which increases the operation of the smart home appliance to access the wireless network

On the other hand, other functions (such as fast connection and network distribution function) require smart home appliances to be in STA mode, while in the prior art, smart home appliances need to obtain information related to accessing wireless networks in AP mode, thus affecting other functions. accomplish
