Description

[0002] Wireless fidelity (WiFi) is a technology that allows devices to connect wirelessly to each other. Devices that bridge wireless to wired networks are called access points (APs). Currently, establishing a WiFi connection between a terminal and an AP typically requires manually entering a password. If the user forgets the password, the AP parameters must be reset, a cumbersome process.

[0003] To facilitate WiFi communication connections, related technologies have proposed a method for connecting to WiFi using near-field communication (NFC). A terminal device can obtain connection parameters such as the access point's service set identifier (SSID) and WiFi password by placing the NFC tag close to the access point, eliminating the need to manually enter the password. However, due to different home layouts, the AP may be placed low or high, making it difficult for users to access it, which poses certain limitations. Summary of the Invention

[0017] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments.

[0018] It should be noted that the electronic device in the embodiment of the present application may also be referred to as user equipment (UE), access terminal, mobile terminal (MT), user terminal, wireless communication device, etc. The electronic device in the embodiment of the present application may be a handheld device with a wireless connection function, such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer (Pad), a laptop computer, a PDA, a mobile internet device (MID), or other handheld devices and devices such as watches, in-ear headphones, pendants, headphones, etc. The electronic device in the embodiment of the present application may also be a wearable electronic device, such as electronic glasses, electronic clothes, electronic bracelets, electronic necklaces, electronic tattoos, electronic devices, smart watches or head-mounted displays (HMD), etc. The embodiment of the present application does not impose specific restrictions on this.

[0019] WiFi is a technology that can connect terminal devices to each other wirelessly. Devices with wireless to wired bridging capabilities are called access point devices, such as wireless routers, wireless repeaters, and other access point devices.

[0020] In recent years, with the continuous development of wireless LAN technology, wireless LAN WiFi has covered most households, and more and more elderly people have their own smartphones, and the frequency of use of home WiFi has also increased.

[0021] Currently, when connecting to Wi-Fi, electronic devices such as smartphones and computers usually require manual password entry. Since current smartphones, computers, and other electronic devices all have the ability to remember connected networks, users can easily forget their home Wi-Fi passwords, causing inconvenience when new devices connect to the home Wi-Fi or when visitors attempt to access the network. Understandably, with manual password entry, if users set a relatively memorable password, the password will inevitably be simple and less secure. Furthermore, once a user forgets their password, they must reset the access point device parameters, a cumbersome process that creates a poor user experience.

[0022] In order to facilitate the establishment of WiFi communication connections, a method of connecting to WiFi using NFC has been proposed in the related art. Electronic devices can activate and use NFC for communication interaction by bringing the NFC tag close to the access point device. The access point device can transmit connection parameters such as the service set identifier SSID and the WiFi password to the electronic device through NFC, thereby achieving the purpose of not having to manually enter the password. It is understandable that the maximum communication distance supported by NFC communication is 10cm. Therefore, the method of connecting to WiFi via NFC requires the access point device to be placed in a place where the user can access it on a daily basis. However, due to different home layouts, the access point device may be placed in a lower or higher position, which is not convenient for users to access. There are certain limitations and the user experience is poor.

[0023] To address the above issues, embodiments of the present application provide a method for establishing a wireless communication connection, applicable to an electronic device. The method comprises: establishing a first wireless communication connection with an access point device, wherein the first wireless communication connection supports a communication distance greater than the communication distance corresponding to near-field communication; receiving connection parameters sent by the access point device via the first wireless communication connection, wherein the connection parameters are used to establish a second wireless communication connection based on Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) with the access point device; and establishing the second wireless communication connection with the access point device based on the connection parameters. By utilizing the first wireless communication connection, this solution can obtain Wi-Fi connection parameters from the access point device within a comfortable distance to achieve automatic Wi-Fi connection, thereby improving the user experience.

[0024] Figure 1 A flow chart of a method for establishing a wireless communication connection provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 The method shown can be applied to an electronic device or an access point device. The electronic device can be any of the electronic devices mentioned above, such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, etc. The access point device can be, for example, a wireless router. Figure 1 The method shown includes steps S120 to S160.

[0025] In step 120 , a first wireless communication connection is established between the electronic device and the access point device.

[0026] In the embodiment of the present application, the communication distance supported by the first wireless communication connection is greater than the communication distance corresponding to near-field communication NFC, so that the electronic device can establish a first communication connection with the access point device within a comfortable spatial distance range, thereby improving the user experience.

[0027] In some embodiments, the electronic device may scan the device association code of the access point device to obtain scanned code information; then, based on the scanned code information, establish a first wireless communication connection with the access point device. It is understood that the scanned code information may include device information of the access point device, such as the device name, device identification information, etc., and this application does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0028] In some embodiments, the first wireless communication connection may be a Bluetooth connection. The scan code information above may include the Bluetooth device name of the access point device. Establishing the first wireless communication connection with the access point device based on the scan code information may include: performing Bluetooth pairing with the access point device based on the Bluetooth device name of the access point device; and establishing the first wireless communication connection with the access point device in response to successful Bluetooth pairing.

[0029] In some embodiments, the electronic device may send multiple Bluetooth pairing requests to the access point device to establish a Bluetooth connection with the access point device. It is understood that if the number of Bluetooth pairing requests between the electronic device and the access point device exceeds a preset threshold, the Bluetooth connection between the electronic device and the access point device is disconnected. For example, the preset threshold for the number of Bluetooth pairing requests may be set to three times, and this application does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0030] In some embodiments, in response to the electronic device scanning the device association code, the electronic device may receive a prompt message, which may be used to prompt the electronic device to turn on the WiFi function. It is understandable that if the WiFi function of the electronic device is already turned on, the prompt message will not be received.

[0031] The embodiment of the present application does not impose any specific limitation on the type of the first wireless communication connection. For example, the first wireless communication connection may be a Bluetooth connection, an infrared connection, or a ZigBee connection.

[0032] The present embodiment does not impose any specific restrictions on the type of device association code for the access point device. For example, the device association code can be a QR code, barcode, etc. The device association code can be provided by the access point device manufacturer and can be posted in an open and convenient place in the home, such as on a coffee table or wall.

[0033] In step 140 , the access point device sends connection parameters to the electronic device through the first wireless communication connection.

[0034] After a first wireless communication connection is successfully established between the electronic device and the access point device, the access point device can send connection parameters to the electronic device via the first wireless communication connection. The connection parameters can be used to establish a second wireless communication connection between the electronic device and the access point device based on Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi). In other words, the connection parameters are Wi-Fi connection parameters, and the second wireless communication connection is a Wi-Fi connection.

[0035] In some embodiments, the scan code information mentioned above may include device identification information, and the access point device sends connection parameters to the electronic device through the first wireless communication connection, which may include: in response to the device identification information matching the access point device, the access point device then sends the connection parameters to the electronic device through the first wireless communication connection.

[0036] In some embodiments, the device identification information may be a unique identification number of the access point device. For example, the electronic device may first scan the device association code to obtain the identification number of the access point device; then, the identification number may be sent to the access point device via the first wireless communication connection; further, the access point device may match the received identification number with the identification number stored in the access point device. If the match is successful, the connection parameters may be sent to the electronic device. If the match fails, the connection parameters are not sent. This allows verification of the uniqueness of the access point device.

[0037] In some embodiments, to ensure data security, the electronic device may send encrypted device identification information to the access point device via the first wireless communication connection, and / or the access point device may send encrypted connection parameters to the electronic device via the first wireless communication connection. The present application does not specifically limit the data encryption method. For example, taking the first wireless communication connection as a Bluetooth connection, for example, the Bluetooth protocol may be used to encrypt data such as the connection parameters and device identification information.

[0038] In some embodiments, the device identification information in the access point device may be stored in a non-volatile memory (NVM). In this way, the device identification information will not be lost even if the access point device loses power.

[0039] In some embodiments, before receiving the connection parameters, the electronic device may also send device identification information to the access point device; further, in response to the time waiting for receiving the connection parameters timing out, the first wireless communication connection between the electronic device and the access point device is disconnected; in response to the time waiting for receiving the connection parameters not timing out and the electronic device not receiving the connection parameters sent by the access point device, it continues to wait for receiving the connection parameters.

[0040] In some embodiments, the connection parameters mentioned above may include parameters such as a service set identifier SSID and / or a WiFi password of the access point device.

[0041] In step 160 , a second wireless communication connection is established between the electronic device and the access point device.

[0042] After the electronic device inputs the WiFi connection parameters, a second wireless communication connection may be established between the electronic device and the access point device according to the WiFi connection parameters.

[0043] As can be seen from the above description, the communication distance supported by the first wireless communication connection is greater than the communication distance corresponding to the near-field communication NFC. By utilizing the first wireless communication connection, this solution can obtain WiFi connection parameters (for example, the service set identifier SSID and / or WiFi password) from the access point device within a comfortable distance space to achieve automatic WiFi connection, without the need for the user to manually enter password information, which is convenient and fast. In addition, compared with the traditional solution of connecting to Wi-Fi via NFC, the embodiment of the present application reduces the restrictions on the placement of the access point device. In other words, even if the access point device is placed too high or too low in the home, it can still quickly and easily achieve WiFi connection automatically, further improving the convenience and experience of users.

[0044] In order to further understand the method for establishing a wireless communication connection in the embodiment of the present application, the following takes the first wireless communication connection as a Bluetooth connection as an example. Figures 2 to 4 , and give detailed examples.

[0045] In some embodiments, the access point device may use a Wi-Fi / BT combo chip, which is configured with a unique identification number at the factory and written into the NVM area of ​​the chip, thereby ensuring that the identification number is not lost even if the chip loses power.

[0046] like Figure 2 As shown, the method for establishing a wireless communication connection may include the following steps:

[0047] Step 2.1: When an electronic device needs to connect to Wi-Fi, it can first scan the QR code provided by the manufacturer to obtain the unique identification number of the access point device and the Bluetooth device name.

[0048] In some embodiments, when scanning the QR code, the electronic device will be prompted to turn on the WiFi function so that a WiFi connection can be made later. It is understandable that if the WiFi function of the electronic device is already turned on, no prompt message will be received.

[0049] Step 2.2: Based on the obtained Bluetooth device name, the electronic device may send a Bluetooth pairing request to the access point device.

[0050] Step 2.3: In response to the successful Bluetooth pairing, a Bluetooth connection may be established between the electronic device and the access point device. It is understood that if a Bluetooth pairing request is sent once and the pairing is not successful, multiple Bluetooth pairing requests may be sent to the access point device to establish a Bluetooth connection with the access point device.

[0051] It is understandable that if the number of Bluetooth pairings between the electronic device and the access point device exceeds a preset threshold, the Bluetooth connection between the electronic device and the access point device is disconnected. For example, the preset threshold of the number of Bluetooth pairings can be set to 3 times, and this application does not impose specific restrictions on this.

[0052] Step 2.4: After the Bluetooth connection is established, the electronic device may send the identification number of the access point device obtained by scanning the QR code to the access point device.

[0053] In some embodiments, to ensure data security, the electronic device may send encrypted identification number data to the access point device via a Bluetooth connection. For example, the identification number data may be encrypted using a Bluetooth protocol.

[0054] Step 2.5: After receiving the identification number sent by the electronic device, the access point device may compare and match the received identification number with the identification number stored in the access point device. If the two identification numbers are identical, the match is successful, and the access point device may send the access point device's service set identifier (SSID) and WiFi password to the electronic device. Of course, if the match fails, the access point device's service set identifier (SSID) and WiFi password are not sent to the electronic device.

[0055] In some embodiments, to ensure data security, the access point device sends the encrypted service set identifier SSID and WiFi password to the electronic device via a Bluetooth connection. For example, the service set identifier SSID and WiFi password data can be encrypted using the Bluetooth protocol.

[0056] Step 2.6: The electronic device receives the service set identifier SSID and WiFi password of the access point device sent by the access point device.

[0057] In some embodiments, if the electronic device times out while waiting for receiving the service set identifier SSID and the WiFi password from the access point device, the electronic device may disconnect the Bluetooth connection with the access point device.

[0058] Step 2.7: The electronic device may reply to the access point device with a confirmation message indicating that the reception is complete.

[0059] Step 2.8: The electronic device can automatically input the service set identifier SSID and WiFi password of the access point device and initiate a WiFi connection to the access point device.

[0060] like Figure 3 As shown, a method for establishing a wireless communication connection on an electronic device side may include the following steps:

[0061] Step 3.1: When an electronic device needs to connect to Wi-Fi, it can first scan the QR code provided by the manufacturer to obtain the unique identification number of the access point device and the Bluetooth device name.

[0062] In some embodiments, when scanning the QR code, the electronic device will be prompted to turn on the WiFi function so that a WiFi connection can be made later. It is understandable that if the WiFi function of the electronic device is already turned on, no prompt message will be received.

[0063] Step 3.2: Based on the obtained Bluetooth device name, the electronic device may send a Bluetooth pairing request to the access point device.

[0064] Step 3.3: If the Bluetooth pairing with the access point device is successful, skip to step 3.5; otherwise, skip to step 3.4.

[0065] Step 3.4: Determine whether the number of Bluetooth pairing attempts exceeds a threshold. In this embodiment, the pairing threshold can be set at three attempts. If the number of pairing attempts does not exceed the threshold, the process proceeds to step 3.2. If the pairing attempt still fails after exceeding this limit, the Bluetooth connection is disconnected and the process exits.

[0066] Step 3.5: In response to the successful Bluetooth pairing, it means that a Bluetooth connection has been established with the access point device. At the same time, the identification number of the access point device obtained by scanning the QR code is sent to the access point device.

[0067] In some embodiments, to ensure data security, the electronic device may send encrypted identification number data to the access point device via a Bluetooth connection. For example, the identification number data may be encrypted using a Bluetooth protocol.

[0068] Step 3.6: Wait for the SSID and Wi-Fi password to be sent from the access point. If the electronic device waits for the SSID and Wi-Fi password to be received for a timeout, the device can disconnect the Bluetooth connection with the access point and exit this process. If the wait time for the SSID and Wi-Fi password to be received has not timed out, the process proceeds to Step 3.7.

[0069] Step 3.7: Determine whether the service set identifier SSID and WiFi password have been received. If the service set identifier SSID and WiFi password have been received, jump to step 3.8; otherwise, jump to step 3.6 and continue waiting to receive connection parameters.

[0070] Step 3.8: The electronic device saves the service set identifier SSID and WiFi password to the device and sends a confirmation message indicating that the reception is complete to the access point device.

[0071] Step 3.9: The electronic device may automatically input the service set identifier SSID and WiFi password of the access point device and initiate a WiFi association to the access point device to establish a WiFi connection with the access point device.

[0072] like Figure 4 As shown, a method for establishing a wireless communication connection on an access point device side may include the following steps:

[0073] Step 4.1: After the access point device is started, wait for the Bluetooth pairing request sent by the electronic device.

[0074] Step 4.2: Determine whether the Bluetooth pairing is successful. If the Bluetooth pairing fails, jump to step 4.1; if the Bluetooth pairing is successful, jump to step 4.2.

[0075] Step 4.3: Wait to receive the identification number sent by the electronic device.

[0076] Step 4.4: After receiving the identification number sent by the electronic device, the access point device may compare and match the received identification number with the identification number stored in the access point device.

[0077] Step 4.5: If the two identification numbers are the same, it means the match is successful, jump to step 4.6, otherwise jump to step 4.3.

[0078] Step 4.6: Send the service set identifier SSID and WiFi password to the electronic device.

[0079] In some embodiments, to ensure data security, the access point device sends the encrypted service set identifier SSID and WiFi password to the electronic device via a Bluetooth connection. For example, the service set identifier SSID and WiFi password data can be encrypted using the Bluetooth protocol.

[0080] Step 4.7: Wait for the electronic device to send a confirmation message indicating that the reception is complete. The solution in this embodiment can stipulate that the number of waiting times is 3. If the confirmation message is not received after this limit, the Bluetooth connection with the electronic device is disconnected and the process is exited.

[0081] Step 4.8: Determine whether a confirmation message indicating completion of reception has been received from the electronic device. If a confirmation message has been received from the electronic device, disconnect the Bluetooth connection with the electronic device and proceed to step 4.9. If a confirmation message has not been received from the electronic device, proceed to step 4.6.

[0082] Step 4.9: Wait for WiFi association to establish a WiFi connection with the electronic device.

[0083] As can be seen from the above embodiments, this solution transmits the access point device's service set identifier SSID and WiFi password information via Bluetooth connection. This not only allows the access point device's service set identifier SSID and WiFi password information to be transmitted to the electronic device via Bluetooth encryption, ensuring the security and reliability of information transmission; it also simplifies the steps for users to connect electronic devices to the access point device. They only need to scan the QR code provided by the access point device manufacturer to automatically complete the Wi-Fi connection process, without having to manually enter the password information, which is convenient and fast. In addition, compared with the solution of connecting to Wi-Fi via NFC, this solution has no restrictions on the placement of the access point device. Even if the access point device is placed too high or too low, it can still be automatically connected to the access point device conveniently and quickly, further improving the convenience of user use.
