Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of device connectivity technology, and particularly relates to a device connectivity method, apparatus, wireless access point, and readable storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] Due to cross-regional data security concerns, wireless access point (AP) service equipment manufacturers need to deploy service equipment in different regions to provide services to the wireless APs. Currently, to enable wireless APs to connect to service equipment in the corresponding regions, service equipment manufacturers pre-configure the connection address of the service equipment in the wireless APs based on the regions where they will be sold. Based on this configuration method, whenever the region where the wireless AP is used changes, the user needs to manually reconfigure the address to avoid non-compliance issues, which significantly increases the user's cost and reduces flexibility. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This application provides a device connection method, apparatus, wireless access point, and readable storage medium, which solves the problem of high usage costs caused by users manually configuring addresses.

[0005] Obtain the current public IP address of the wireless access point in the target network;

[0006] The system checks whether the historical connection parameters of the wireless AP are empty, and obtains the first detection result.

[0007] If the first detection result indicates that the historical connection parameter is not empty, the second detection result is obtained by detecting whether the current public IP address and the historical public IP address in the historical connection parameter are the same.

[0008] In response to the second detection result, the target connection address of the target service device in the target network is obtained;

[0009] Based on the target connection address, a connection request is sent to the target service device.

[0010] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a device connection apparatus, the apparatus comprising:

[0011] The first acquisition module is used to acquire the current public IP address of the wireless AP in the target network;

[0012] The first detection module is used to detect whether the historical connection parameters of the wireless AP are empty, and obtain the first detection result;

[0013] The second detection module is used to detect whether the current public IP address and the historical public IP address in the historical connection parameters are the same when the first detection result indicates that the historical connection parameters are not empty, and to obtain the second detection result.

[0014] The second acquisition module is used to acquire the target connection address of the target service device in the target network in response to the second detection result.

[0015] The request sending module is used to send a connection request to the target service device based on the target connection address.

[0016] Thirdly, embodiments of this application provide a wireless access point, including a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor. When the processor executes the computer program, it implements a device connection method as described in the first aspect above.

[0017] Fourthly, embodiments of this application provide a computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program that, when executed by a processor, implements a device connection method as described in the first aspect above.

[0018] Fifthly, embodiments of this application provide a computer program product that, when running on a wireless access point, causes the wireless access point to execute a device connection method described in the first aspect above.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this application embodiment compared with the prior art are as follows: This application obtains the current public IP address of the wireless AP in the target network; detects whether the historical connection parameters of the wireless AP are empty, and obtains a first detection result; if the first detection result indicates that the historical connection parameters are not empty, it detects whether the current public IP address and the historical public IP address in the historical connection parameters are the same, and obtains a second detection result; in response to the second detection result, it obtains the target connection address of the target service device in the target network; and based on the target connection address, it sends a connection request to the target service device. In this application, the wireless AP first detects whether the historical connection parameters are empty, and then, if the historical connection parameters are not empty, it detects whether the current public IP address and the historical public IP address in the historical connection parameters are the same, and obtains a second detection result. Then, in response to the second detection result, it obtains the target connection address of the target service device, realizing the automatic acquisition of the target connection address of the target service device without manual configuration by the user, thus reducing the user's usage cost.

[0031] Example 1:

[0032] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 The illustration shows a schematic flow of a device connection method provided in this application. It is provided as an example and not a limitation. This method can be applied to a wireless AP.

[0033] Step 101: Obtain the current public IP address of the wireless AP in the target network.

[0034] Before using a wireless access point (AP), the user needs to power on the AP and connect it to the target network to enable the AP to access the Internet. Optionally, the target network can be a wide area network (WAN), also known as an external network or public network.

[0035] After the wireless AP connects to the target network, you can use the Packet Internet Groper (Ping) command to obtain the current public IP address of the wireless AP. The public IP address is an IP address that can be publicly used on the Internet and is globally unique.

[0036] Step 102: Check if the historical connection parameters of the wireless AP are empty to obtain the first detection result.

[0037] Wireless access points (APs) can store historical connection parameters. These parameters can refer to the last connection parameters when the wireless AP connected to the service device, or the connection parameters from previous connections.

[0038] As an example and not a limitation, historical connection parameters may include historical public IP addresses, historical connection addresses corresponding to those historical public IP addresses, and area codes. The historical connection address corresponding to a historical public IP address refers to the connection address of the service device to which the wireless AP is connected under that public IP address.

[0039] Optionally, the service device connected to the wireless AP is used to provide services to the wireless AP, such as storing the data of the wireless AP. By way of example and not limitation, the service device connected to the wireless AP can be a server or a server cluster, wherein the server can be a cloud server and the server cluster can be a cloud server cluster.

[0040] Step 103: If the first detection result indicates that the historical connection parameters are not empty, check whether the current public IP address and the historical public IP address in the historical connection parameters are the same to obtain the second detection result.

[0041] The first test result indicates that the historical connection parameters are not empty, meaning the wireless AP has been used at least once. At this point, the historical connection data of the wireless AP can be analyzed to determine whether this connection can be established based on the historical connection parameters.

[0042] Step 104: If the second detection result indicates that the current public IP address and the historical public IP address are the same, in response to the second detection result, the historical connection address corresponding to the historical public IP address in the historical connection parameters is determined as the target connection address.

[0043] Historical connection addresses are the connection addresses of service devices that the wireless AP has connected to and that are located in the target network.

[0044] If the second detection result indicates that the current public IP address is the same as the historical public IP address, it means that the wireless AP has previously connected to a service device that provides services to the wireless AP under that public IP address. In this case, the current connection can be made directly based on the historical connection parameters, that is, the historical connection address corresponding to the historical public IP address included in the historical connection parameters can be directly determined as the target connection address.

[0045] Optionally, the aforementioned region can refer to the landmass, country, province, city, etc.

[0046] This embodiment can bypass the target server and directly determine the aforementioned historical connection address as the target connection address when the current public IP address and the historical public IP address are the same, thereby reducing the pressure on the target server and reducing the time for the wireless AP to access the connection service device.

[0047] Wireless communication requirements may vary in different regions. In order to meet the wireless communication requirements of the current location of the wireless AP, this application can also configure the wireless AP wirelessly.

[0048] The wireless access point (AP) can store historical wireless parameters corresponding to historical public IP addresses. These historical wireless parameters can refer to the wireless parameters configured to meet the wireless communication requirements of the area during the last use of the wireless AP, or the wireless parameters configured to meet the wireless communication requirements of the area during multiple previous uses of the wireless AP. Optionally, the wireless parameters may include parameters such as wireless channel and transmit power.

[0049] Optionally, if the second detection result indicates that the current public IP address and the historical public IP address are the same, in response to the second detection result, the historical wireless parameters corresponding to the historical public IP address are determined as the target wireless parameters; wireless configuration is performed based on the target wireless parameters so that the wireless terminal can access the wired network through the wireless AP.

[0050] Step 105: Send a connection request to the target service device based on the target connection address.

[0051] After obtaining the target connection address, a connection request can be sent to the target service device to request a connection to log in to the target service device.

[0052] Optionally, based on the target connection address, a connection request is sent to the target service device, including: obtaining the authentication information of the wireless AP; and sending a connection request containing the authentication information to the target service device based on the target connection address, so that the target service device can authenticate the wireless AP based on the authentication information.

[0053] To prevent unauthorized wireless access points from accessing the target service device, the connection request sent by the wireless access point may include authentication information.

[0054] The wireless access point (AP) can store authentication information. This authentication information can refer to the information carried by the wireless AP when it last connected to the service device, or it can refer to the authentication information carried by the wireless AP when it connected to the service device multiple times in the past.

[0055] In one optional implementation, if the second detection result indicates that the current public IP address and the historical public IP address are the same, the stored authentication information can be read, and a connection request containing the authentication information can be sent to the target service device based on the target connection address.

[0056] After receiving a connection request containing authentication information, the target service device compares the authentication information with the already authenticated information to determine whether the wireless AP has been authenticated. If it has been authenticated, the wireless AP is allowed to access; if it has not been authenticated, the device can verify the information contained in the authentication information sequentially. This authentication process eliminates the need for re-authentication for already authenticated wireless APs, reducing authentication time and thus shortening the overall time for the wireless AP to connect to the target service device.

[0057] Optionally, after sending a connection request to the target service device based on the target connection address, the method further includes: if the target service device rejects the connection request, sending an address acquisition request to the target server based on the connection address of the target server configured in the wireless AP, and reacquiring the target connection address. The connection address of the target server may be pre-configured in the wireless AP at the factory.

[0058] Multiple service devices may be deployed in the same area to provide services for wireless access points (APs). When a connection request is initiated to a target service device based on the historical connection address recorded in the wireless AP, the target service device may reject the connection request due to insufficient resources. In this case, to ensure that the wireless AP can connect to the service device, an address acquisition request can be sent to the target server based on the target server's connection address. This request will ask the target server to schedule multiple service devices and reallocate the target service device to the wireless AP.

[0059] Optionally, after receiving an address acquisition request from the wireless AP, the target server can obtain the current public IP address of the wireless AP; determine the current region of the wireless AP based on the known mapping relationship between public IP addresses and regional information data; determine the connection address of the target service device corresponding to the current region of the wireless AP as the target connection address; and send the target connection address to the wireless AP.

[0060] This application can bypass the target server and directly determine the above-mentioned historical connection address as the target connection address when the historical connection parameters are not empty and the current public IP address is the same as the historical public IP address, thereby reducing the pressure on the target server and reducing the time for the wireless AP to access the connection service device.

[0061] It should be understood that the sequence number of each step in the above embodiments does not imply the order of execution. The execution order of each process should be determined by its function and internal logic, and should not constitute any limitation on the implementation process of the embodiments of this application.

[0062] Example 2:

[0063] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 2This illustration shows a schematic flow of a device connection method provided in this application.

[0064] Step 201: Obtain the current public IP address of the wireless AP in the target network.

[0065] Step 202: Check if the historical connection parameters of the wireless AP are empty to obtain the first detection result.

[0066] Step 203: If the first detection result indicates that the historical connection parameters are not empty, check whether the current public IP address and the historical public IP address in the historical connection parameters are the same to obtain the second detection result.

[0067] The relevant content in steps 201-203 can be found in the relevant descriptions in steps 101-103, and will not be repeated here.

[0068] Step 204: If the second detection result indicates that the current public IP address and the historical public IP address are different, in response to the second detection result, based on the connection address of the target server configured in the wireless AP, send an address acquisition request to the target server and receive the target connection address from the target server.

[0069] If the second detection result indicates that the current public IP address is different from the historical public IP address, it means that the wireless AP has never connected to a service device that provides services to the wireless AP under that public IP address in the past. In this case, you can request the target connection address of the target service device from the target server.

[0070] For details on how the target server obtains the target connection address, please refer to the relevant description in step 105, which will not be repeated here.

[0071] This embodiment can obtain the target connection address from the target server when the current public IP address and the historical public IP address are different, without requiring manual configuration by the user, thus reducing the user's usage cost.

[0072] Optionally, after receiving an address acquisition request from the wireless AP, the target server can obtain the current public IP address of the wireless AP; determine the current region of the wireless AP based on the known mapping relationship between public IP addresses and regional information data; determine the connection address of the target service device corresponding to the current region of the wireless AP as the target connection address; and send the target connection address to the wireless AP.

[0073] After receiving an address acquisition request from the wireless AP, the target server can also determine the corresponding area code based on the current location of the wireless AP and send the area code to the wireless AP.

[0074] As an example, and not a limitation, if the current public IP address indicates that the wireless AP is located in Asia or Oceania, then the corresponding target connection address can be A; if the current public IP address indicates that the wireless AP is located in Europe or Africa, then the corresponding target connection address can be B; if the current public IP address indicates that the wireless AP is located in North America or South America, then the corresponding target connection address can be C.

[0075] When the service device is a server cluster, the target server can perform load balancing analysis on each server in the server cluster by combining factors such as the server's storage, central processing unit (CPU) performance, and the number of connected wireless APs, and determine the server with the best performance as the target service device.

[0076] To meet the wireless communication requirements of the area where the wireless AP is currently located, optionally, if the second detection result indicates that the current public IP address and the historical public IP address are different, in response to the second detection result, an address acquisition request is sent to the target server based on the connection address of the target server, so that the target server can determine the target connection address and the target wireless parameters.

[0077] After receiving an address acquisition request from the wireless AP, the target server can obtain the current public IP address of the wireless AP; based on the known mapping relationship between public IP addresses and regional information data, it can determine the current region of the wireless AP; based on the existing mapping relationship between regions and wireless parameters, it can determine the wireless parameters that match the current region of the wireless AP as the target wireless parameters.

[0078] In the same area, different types of wireless APs may have different wireless parameters. Therefore, in order to obtain the target wireless parameters that match the type of wireless AP, an address acquisition request is sent to the target server based on the connection address of the target server. This includes sending an address acquisition request containing AP device identification information to the target server based on the connection address of the target server, so that the target server can determine the target wireless parameters according to the AP device identification information. The target wireless parameters refer to the wireless parameters that meet the wireless communication requirements of the area where the wireless AP is currently located.

[0079] The AP device identification information can be pre-configured in the wireless AP. Optionally, the AP device identification information may include the wireless AP's serial number (SN), physical (Media Access Control, MAC) address, model, and other information.

[0080] After receiving an address acquisition request from the wireless AP, including AP device identification information, the target server can obtain the current public IP address of the wireless AP; based on the known mapping relationship between public IP addresses and regional information data, it can determine the current region of the wireless AP; based on the existing mapping relationship between region, AP device identification information and wireless parameters, it can determine the wireless parameters that match the current region of the wireless AP and the current AP device identification information of the wireless AP as the target wireless parameters.

[0081] Optionally, after sending an address acquisition request including AP device identification information to the target server, the method further includes: receiving target wireless parameters from the target server; and performing wireless configuration based on the target wireless parameters. After performing wireless configuration based on the target wireless parameters, the wireless terminal can access the wired network through the wireless AP.

[0082] Step 205: If the first detection result indicates that the historical connection parameters are empty, in response to the first detection result, send an address acquisition request to the target server based on the connection address of the target server configured in the wireless AP; and receive the target connection address from the target server.

[0083] The first detection result indicates that the historical connection parameters are empty, suggesting that the wireless AP is being used for the first time. At this point, an address acquisition request can be sent to the target server, requesting the server to assign a target connection address to the wireless AP.

[0084] The details of how the target server obtains the target connection address can be found in the relevant description in step 105, and will not be repeated here.

[0085] Step 206: Send a connection request to the target service device based on the target connection address.

[0086] To prevent unauthorized wireless access to the target service device, in one optional implementation, if the second detection result indicates that the current public IP address and the historical public IP address are different, after sending an address acquisition request to the target server, key information from the target server can be received; authentication information can be obtained based on the key information and the AP device identification information; and a connection request containing the authentication information can be sent to the target service device based on the target connection address.

[0087] It should be noted that the information to be authenticated may also include the wireless AP's master key (DEVKEY) and license.

[0088] When the target device verifies the wireless AP, it can first verify the key information, then match the SN in the authentication information with the legitimate SN configured in the target device. After the match is successful, the DEVKEY and License in the authentication information are verified for legitimacy in turn.

[0089] After the wireless AP successfully connects to the target service device, it can store the authentication information and the current public IP address.

[0090] This application can obtain the target connection address through the target server when the first detection result indicates that the historical connection parameters are empty, or when the first detection result indicates that the historical connection parameters are not empty and the current public IP address is different from the historical public IP address, without requiring manual configuration by the user, thus reducing the user's usage cost.
