Method and system for searching near-end device

Abstract

The invention provides a method and a system for searching a near-end device. The method comprises the steps that a first device searches hotspots around by using a wireless communication technology, acquires identifiers of the hotspots so as to generate a first identifier set, and uploads the first identifier set to a server; at least one second device searches hotspots around by using the wireless communication technology, acquires identifiers of the hotspots so as to generate a second identifier set, and uploads the second identifier set to the server; then the server calculates a similarity value of the first identifier set and each second identifier set; and the server judges whether the corresponding second device is a near-end device located around the first device or not according to the similarity value, and providing a judgment result to the first device. Accordingly, a user of an electronic device can be helped to find a nearby device through an existing wireless communication technology of the device so as to carry out subsequent connection or other interactions, and no additional hardware device is required.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method for searching for near-end devices, in particular to a method and system for searching for near-end devices by comparing the similarity of hot spot sets detected by devices to determine whether each other is a near-end device. Background technique [0002] With the development of technology and the advancement of the times, devices such as laptops, smart phones, and tablets have become an indispensable part of people's lives. Due to the popularization of mobile devices, the interaction between various devices and their applications have become increasingly important. At present, users are not limited to operations on a single device, and there are more usage scenarios where two or more devices can interact with each other. Interaction between devices is not limited to a single user's device, but can also be extended to the user's friends, family members, colleagues, and so on. [0003] Before devices can inte...

Problems solved by technology

When using Bluetooth for pairing, the user needs to turn on the Bluetooth to be able to search, causing inconvenience in use

If you use a subnetwork information detection device in a public place, you may search for quite a few devices, and you cannot effectively filter out devices that are not nearby

[0005] It can be seen from the above that there are certain defects in the existing methods, which may limit the pairing of devices
