Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of Internet technology, specifically relating to a method and apparatus for dynamically updating Wi-Fi passwords. Background Technology

[0002] A router is a hardware device that connects two or more networks. It acts as a gateway between networks and is a dedicated intelligent network device that reads the address in each data packet and then decides how to transmit it.

[0003] A Wi-Fi router is a router that converts wired network signals and mobile network signals into wireless signals. It is commonly used in homes, offices, schools, hotels, and other similar locations.

[0004] In related technologies, when a user changes the Wi-Fi password of a Wi-Fi router, electronic devices that have been connected to the Wi-Fi router via the Wi-Fi password will disconnect from the Wi-Fi router, causing data transmission interruption. At this time, the user needs to manually enter the changed Wi-Fi password into the electronic device in order to communicate with the Wi-Fi router again, resulting in low communication efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide a method and apparatus for dynamically updating Wi-Fi passwords, which can solve the problem of low communication efficiency.

[0006] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a method for dynamically updating Wi-Fi passwords in a Wi-Fi router, including:

[0007] If a second electronic device other than the first electronic device is detected to be communicating with the Wi-Fi router, the Wi-Fi password dynamic update function is activated;

[0008] If the connection status between the first electronic device and the second electronic device and the Wi-Fi router meets the first condition, the Wi-Fi password will be updated from the first password to the second password;

[0009] Send a second password to the first electronic device to update the Wi-Fi password.

[0010] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a Wi-Fi password dynamic update device for a Wi-Fi router, comprising:

[0011] The startup module is used to activate the dynamic Wi-Fi password update function when a second electronic device other than the first electronic device is detected to be communicating with the Wi-Fi router.

[0012] The update module is used to update the Wi-Fi password from the first password to the second password when the connection status between the first electronic device and the second electronic device and the Wi-Fi router meets the first condition;

[0013] The sending module is used to send a second password to the first electronic device so that the first electronic device can update the Wi-Fi password.

[0014] Thirdly, embodiments of this application provide a router, including a processor and a memory, wherein the memory stores a program or instructions that can run on the processor, and when the program or instructions are executed by the processor, they implement the steps of the method described in the first aspect.

[0015] Fourthly, embodiments of this application provide a readable storage medium on which a program or instructions are stored, which, when executed by a processor, implement the steps of the method described in the first aspect.

[0016] Fifthly, embodiments of this application provide a chip including a processor and a communication interface, the communication interface being coupled to the processor, the processor being used to run programs or instructions to implement the steps of the method described in the first aspect.

[0017] In a sixth aspect, embodiments of this application provide a computer program product stored in a storage medium, which is executed by at least one processor to implement the method described in the first aspect.

[0018] In this embodiment, when the Wi-Fi router detects a communication connection between a second electronic device (other than the first electronic device) and the Wi-Fi router, it activates the dynamic Wi-Fi password update function. If the connection status between the first and second electronic devices and the Wi-Fi router meets a first condition, the Wi-Fi password is updated from a first password to a second password. The second password is then sent to the first electronic device to update its Wi-Fi password.

[0023] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0024] The terms "first," "second," etc., used in the specification and claims of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and not to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such use of data can be interchanged where appropriate so that embodiments of this application can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first," "second," etc., are generally of the same class and the number of objects is not limited; for example, a first object can be one or more. Furthermore, in the specification and claims, "and / or" indicates at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0025] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, details the Wi-Fi password dynamic update method and apparatus provided in this application through specific embodiments and application scenarios.

[0026] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a method for dynamically updating Wi-Fi passwords in a Wi-Fi router, as provided in an embodiment of this application. The method for dynamically updating Wi-Fi passwords in a Wi-Fi router may include:

[0027] Step 101: If a second electronic device other than the first electronic device is detected to be communicating with the Wi-Fi router, activate the Wi-Fi password dynamic update function;

[0028] Step 102: If the connection status between the first electronic device and the second electronic device and the Wi-Fi router meets the first condition, update the Wi-Fi password from the first password to the second password;

[0029] Step 103: Send a second password to the first electronic device to update the Wi-Fi password.

[0030] The specific implementation methods of the above steps will be described in detail below.

[0031] In this embodiment, when the Wi-Fi router detects a communication connection between a second electronic device (other than the first electronic device) and the Wi-Fi router, it activates the dynamic Wi-Fi password update function. If the connection status between the first and second electronic devices and the Wi-Fi router meets a first condition, the Wi-Fi password is updated from a first password to a second password. The second password is then sent to the first electronic device to update its Wi-Fi password. Thus, the user does not need to manually change the Wi-Fi password on the first electronic device; the first electronic device can automatically update its Wi-Fi password, ensuring uninterrupted communication with the Wi-Fi router and improving communication efficiency.

[0032] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, the first electronic device in the embodiments of this application can be an electronic device set by the user, such as an electronic device corresponding to an electronic device identifier (e.g., MAC address) added by the user in the configuration file or settings interface of the Wi-Fi router.

[0033] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, the first electronic device in the embodiments of this application may also be an electronic device determined based on the historical connection information with the Wi-Fi router. For example, an electronic device that has communicated with the Wi-Fi router more than a threshold number of times and whose connection duration for each connection is greater than a second duration threshold may be determined as the first electronic device.

[0034] For example, let's take a threshold of 5 connections and a second duration threshold of 8 hours. A user typically leaves home for work around 8 AM and returns home around 6 PM. When leaving for work, their electronic device disconnects from the Wi-Fi router because it's outside the router's coverage area. Upon returning home, the device reconnects to the router because it's back within the router's coverage area. If, within a week, the device connects to the router more than 5 times, and each connection lasts approximately 14 hours (more than 8 hours), then the device is identified as the first electronic device.

[0035] Understandably, the first electronic device can be considered as one that requires long-term use and can utilize the Wi-Fi router.

[0036] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, the Wi-Fi router can be pre-configured with a dynamic Wi-Fi password update function, which is used to dynamically update the Wi-Fi password.

[0037] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, when the Wi-Fi router is a Wi-Fi router used in a home, the second electronic device can be an electronic device used by a non-family member, and in this case, the first electronic device can be an electronic device used by a family member; when the Wi-Fi router is a Wi-Fi router used in a company, the second electronic device can be an electronic device used by a non-company employee, and in this case, the first electronic device can be an electronic device used by a company employee.

[0038] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, the connection status between the first electronic device and the second electronic device and the Wi-Fi router in the embodiments of this application satisfies a first condition, which may include:

[0039] The second electronic device disconnects from the Wi-Fi router; or,

[0040] The duration of the communication connection between the second electronic device and the Wi-Fi router exceeds the first duration threshold.

[0041] For example, when user A visits user B's home, user B provides user A with the Wi-Fi password for their home's Wi-Fi router. User A's electronic device then communicates and connects to user B's Wi-Fi router using this password. It is understood that in this example, user A's electronic device is the second electronic device, and user B's electronic device is the first electronic device. When user A leaves user B's home, the communication connection between user A's electronic device and user B's Wi-Fi router is lost. At this point, it indicates that the connection status of both the first and second electronic devices with the Wi-Fi router satisfies the first condition.

[0042] Furthermore, if the connection status between the first electronic device and the second electronic device and the Wi-Fi router meets the first condition, the communication connection between the second electronic device and the Wi-Fi router can be disconnected, and the number of the first electronic devices connected to the Wi-Fi router is greater than the number threshold.

[0043] For example, consider a threshold of 3. User B's household has 5 people, each with an electronic device, and all 5 electronic devices are connected to the Wi-Fi router in their home. It is understood that each of the 5 people in User B's household has an electronic device, as described in the first example.

[0044] When User A visits User B's home, all of User B's family members are home. User B provides User A with the Wi-Fi password for their home Wi-Fi router, and User A's electronic device communicates and connects to User B's Wi-Fi router using this password. In this example, User A's electronic device is considered the second electronic device. When User A leaves User B's home, four family members are home, and one family member is away. User A's electronic device loses its connection to User B's Wi-Fi router. At this point, there are four first electronic devices communicating with User B's Wi-Fi router, exceeding the threshold of 3. Therefore, the connection status of both the first and second electronic devices with the Wi-Fi router satisfies the first condition.

[0045] When User A visits User B's home, all of User B's family members are home. User B provides User A with the Wi-Fi password for their home Wi-Fi router, and User A's electronic devices connect to User B's Wi-Fi router using this password. When User A leaves User B's home, two family members are home, and three family members are out. User A's electronic devices lose connection with User B's Wi-Fi router. At this point, there are two electronic devices still connected to User B's Wi-Fi router, which is less than the threshold of three. Therefore, the connection status of both the first and second electronic devices with the Wi-Fi router does not meet the first condition.

[0046] In this embodiment of the application, the purpose is to prevent a guest user from automatically connecting to the Wi-Fi network whenever they arrive in the vicinity after connecting to the Wi-Fi network once, thereby occupying the network or using the network for communication.

[0047] For another example, let's take a first duration threshold of 2 hours. User A's neighbor, User B, experiences a network outage, and User B needs to temporarily establish a communication connection with the external network using User A's Wi-Fi router. In this case, User A provides User B with the Wi-Fi password for their router. It's understood that in this example, User B's electronic device is the second electronic device, and User A's electronic device is the first electronic device. When the communication connection between User B's electronic device and the Wi-Fi router lasts longer than 2 hours, it indicates that the connection status of both the first and second electronic devices with the Wi-Fi router meets the first condition.

[0048] In this embodiment of the application, in order to prevent other users from hogging the Wi-Fi router's network resources for an extended period of time, users with excessively long access times are identified as second electronic devices.

[0049] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, if the communication connection duration between the second electronic device and the Wi-Fi router exceeds a first duration threshold, before step 102, the Wi-Fi password dynamic update method provided in the embodiments of this application may further include: adjusting the Wi-Fi signal coverage range of the Wi-Fi router so that the second electronic device disconnects from the communication connection with the Wi-Fi router.

[0050] In some possible implementations of this application, the Wi-Fi signal coverage range of the Wi-Fi router can be narrowed, and the propagation direction of the Wi-Fi signal can be adjusted to adjust the Wi-Fi signal coverage range. When the Wi-Fi signal coverage range of the Wi-Fi router is adjusted so that the second electronic device is no longer within the Wi-Fi signal coverage range, while the first electronic device is within the Wi-Fi signal coverage range, the communication connection between the second electronic device and the Wi-Fi router is disconnected, while the communication connection between the first electronic device and the Wi-Fi router remains open. Then, the Wi-Fi password is updated from the first password to the second password; the second password is then sent to the first electronic device.

[0051] In this embodiment, since only the first electronic device remains connected to the Wi-Fi router after the Wi-Fi signal coverage area is adjusted, only the first electronic device can receive the updated second password and thus update its password accordingly. The second electronic device, which has already disconnected, will not be able to automatically reconnect even if it is within the Wi-Fi router's range the next time the password is updated.

[0052] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, after step 103, the Wi-Fi password dynamic update method provided in the embodiments of this application may further include: restoring the Wi-Fi signal coverage of the Wi-Fi router.

[0053] In this embodiment of the application, although the second electronic device may be within the Wi-Fi signal coverage area of ​​the Wi-Fi router, it cannot connect to the Wi-Fi router using the original Wi-Fi password because the Wi-Fi password has been updated.

[0054] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, step 102 may include: generating a second password according to the Wi-Fi password update algorithm and the Wi-Fi password update key; and updating the Wi-Fi password from the first password to the second password.

[0055] This application does not limit the specific process of generating a second password based on the Wi-Fi password update algorithm and the Wi-Fi password update key; any available method can be used in this application.

[0056] In some possible implementations of the embodiments of this application, in step 103, the Wi-Fi router sends the second password generated according to the Wi-Fi password update algorithm and the Wi-Fi password update key to the first electronic device. The first electronic device updates the Wi-Fi password to the second password. During this process, the user does not need to manually enter the updated Wi-Fi password, and the first electronic device can automatically update the Wi-Fi password.

[0057] The following uses a specific application scenario as an example to illustrate the Wi-Fi password dynamic update method provided in this application embodiment.

[0058] For example, after purchasing a Wi-Fi router and installing it in their home, the user can connect to the internet using the router's initial Wi-Fi password or reconfigure the password to connect using the reconfigured password. The user's own electronic devices and those of their family members can then be configured as the first set of electronic devices. When a guest visits, the user provides the Wi-Fi password, and the guest's electronic device connects to the user's Wi-Fi router using that password. When the guest leaves, the connection is lost, and the router updates the password and sends the updated password to both the user's and family members' electronic devices. These devices then update their passwords to the new password sent by the router. When the guest visits again, the password has been updated, and the guest's electronic device cannot automatically connect to the router.

[0059] For another example, after purchasing a Wi-Fi router and installing it in their home, the user can connect to the internet using the router's default Wi-Fi password or reconfigure the password to connect using the reconfigured password. The user's electronic devices and those of their family members can then be designated as the primary electronic devices. When a neighbor's internet connection drops, the neighbor needs to temporarily connect to the internet using the user's Wi-Fi router. In this case, the user shares their Wi-Fi password with their neighbor. The neighbor's electronic devices then temporarily connect to the internet through the user's Wi-Fi router. If the neighbor's connection to the Wi-Fi router remains unused for an extended period, it's possible that the neighbor is using the user's internet connection without permission. To prevent unauthorized access to your Wi-Fi network, a Wi-Fi router can adjust its Wi-Fi signal coverage. This ensures that the user's electronic devices and those of their family members are within range, while neighbors' devices are outside. The neighbors' devices then disconnect from the router, and the router updates the Wi-Fi password, sending the updated password to both the user's and family members' devices. These devices then update their passwords to the new password sent by the router. Finally, the router restores its Wi-Fi coverage. Now, even if a neighbor's device is within the router's range and can detect the network, it cannot automatically connect because the password has been updated.

[0060] It should be noted that the Wi-Fi password dynamic update method provided in this application embodiment can be executed by a Wi-Fi password dynamic update device. This application embodiment uses a Wi-Fi password dynamic update device executing the Wi-Fi password dynamic update method as an example to illustrate the Wi-Fi password dynamic update device provided in this application embodiment.

[0064] The sending module 203 is used to send a second password to the first electronic device so that the first electronic device can update the Wi-Fi password.

[0065] In this embodiment, when the Wi-Fi router detects a communication connection between a second electronic device (other than the first electronic device) and the Wi-Fi router, it activates the dynamic Wi-Fi password update function. If the connection status between the first and second electronic devices and the Wi-Fi router meets a first condition, the Wi-Fi password is updated from a first password to a second password. The second password is then sent to the first electronic device to update its Wi-Fi password. Thus, the user does not need to manually change the Wi-Fi password on the first electronic device; the first electronic device can automatically update its Wi-Fi password, ensuring uninterrupted communication with the Wi-Fi router and improving communication efficiency.
