Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0050] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention, but the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art may make similar generalizations without violating the connotation of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0051] In the prior art, log data is stored in real time, the storage efficiency is low, and the transfer quality is not ideal. If the log data transmission is unsuccessful, it is easy to cause data loss and data security cannot be guaranteed.

[0052] In order to solve the problems in the prior art, this embodiment provides a WiFi state switching method, through which the automatic switching of the STA mode and the AP mode of the WiFi device can be realized. In the specific implementation, first, the STA mode is initialized and started by default; then, the device broadcast of the second terminal device is obtained, and whether to switch the mode is determined based on the device broadcast of the second terminal device; finally, if the device broadcast of the second terminal device is the STA device mode, the STA mode is switched to the AP mode, and the second terminal device is responded to and connected; if the device broadcast of the second terminal device is the AP device mode, a connection request is sent to the second terminal device.

If it is parsed that the second terminal device is in STA mode, it is determined that the mode of this device needs to be switched to AP mode, that is, switched to hotspot mode. If it is parsed that the second terminal device is in AP mode, that is, the second terminal device is a hotspot device, then the local device can connect to the hotspot for communication, that is, the mode of this device does not switch. In this application, the STA mode is initialized and started by default, and then how to switch the mode is determined according to the received broadcast characteristics. The whole process is automatically switched without manual operation, which greatly improves the efficiency of WiFi switching.

[0054] Exemplary Methods

[0055] This embodiment provides a WiFi state switching method, which can be applied to a WiFi device. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0056] Step S100: The device is initialized to start STA mode.

[0057] In this embodiment, the first terminal device has built-in STA mode and AP mode. STA (Station) mode, also known as Infrastructure mode, is a common device working mode in Wi-Fi networks. In STA mode, the device will connect to an access point (AP) in the Wi-Fi network as a terminal receiving data to obtain a network connection. STA mode is the working mode of a terminal station device in a wireless network, which is usually regarded as a client. In STA mode, the device itself does not accept any wireless access, but connects to the AP node for network access. In STA mode, the device can provide a stable network connection by connecting to a stable AP node. When the device is in STA mode, it can quickly and conveniently connect to the WiFi network to achieve fast Internet access. The WiFi network usually has an encryption function. The STA mode can ensure communication security and is one of the basic modes for users to use the Wi-Fi network in daily life. Therefore, when initializing, the device is automatically set to STA mode, which can quickly achieve a safe and convenient network connection. The application scenarios of STA mode include: Home network: In a home environment, devices such as smart phones, laptops, and smart TVs are usually connected to the home Wi-Fi network in STA mode to access Internet and LAN resources. Enterprise network: In an enterprise environment, the devices used by employees (such as laptops and tablets) are also usually connected to the company's Wi-Fi network in STA mode to access internal resources and the Internet. Public places: In public places such as cafes, libraries, and airports, customers and visitors can use the STA mode of their devices to connect to the provided Wi-Fi network to enjoy free or paid Internet access services. AP mode, or "Access Point mode", is a specific working mode of a wireless router or wireless access point, which is mainly responsible for forwarding wireless signals and extending wireless networks. AP mode allows wireless routers or wireless access points to forward wireless signals to other devices so that they can access the network. The functions of AP mode include: Signal forwarding: Extending the coverage of a wireless network through wireless signal forwarding. Wireless bridging: Connecting two or more wireless networks to achieve wireless interconnection and resource sharing. In AP mode, a wireless router or wireless access point is configured as a central node to provide network connections to surrounding devices through wireless signals. Devices can connect to routers or access points in AP mode via Wi-Fi to achieve wireless network access and data transmission. The application scenarios of AP mode include: AP mode is suitable for various scenarios that require wireless network coverage, especially those places that already provide wired network but lack wireless coverage, such as offices, guesthouses, and hotels. Wireless network services can be provided in these places by plugging the network cable into the mini router and setting it to AP mode.The advantages of setting up AP mode are:Flexibility: AP mode can be flexibly deployed anywhere that requires wireless network coverage without complicated wiring:Scalability: By increasing the number of APs, the coverage of the wireless network can be easily expanded. Compared with the traditional wired network expansion method, AP mode has lower costs and higher efficiency. When configuring AP mode, it is usually necessary to connect a wireless router or wireless access point to a router or switch that is connected to the Internet. Then, configure the device to AP mode through the corresponding settings, so that it can forward wireless signals and provide wireless network services. AP mode is a flexible, efficient and cost-effective way to expand wireless networks, suitable for various scenarios that require wireless network coverage. Through reasonable configuration and optimization, users can be provided with stable and reliable wireless network services.

[0058] Step S200: Acquire a device broadcast of a second terminal device, and determine whether to perform a mode switch based on the device broadcast of the second terminal device.

[0059] In this embodiment, if Figure 2 As shown, the device broadcast sent by the second terminal device is obtained, the device broadcast is parsed, the mode of the second terminal device is obtained, and the second terminal device is identified as a STA terminal or an AP hotspot. By identifying the mode of the second terminal device, it is determined whether the device mode needs to be switched.

[0060] Step S300: If the device broadcast of the second terminal device is in STA device mode, the STA mode is switched to AP mode, and a response connection is made to the second terminal device.

[0061] In this embodiment, if the device mode of the second terminal device is analyzed to be STA mode in step S200, it is necessary to switch the mode of the first terminal device from STA to AP mode, that is, automatically switch the mode from terminal mode to hotspot mode to provide a hotspot for the second terminal device. By automatically switching the mode, a hotspot can be quickly provided to other devices for connection and communication, which facilitates user connection. AP mode is a flexible, efficient and cost-effective wireless network expansion method suitable for various scenarios requiring wireless network coverage. Through reasonable configuration and optimization, stable and reliable wireless network services can be provided to users.

[0062] Step S400, if the device broadcast of the second terminal device is AP device mode, a connection request is sent to the second terminal device.

[0063] In this embodiment, if in step S200, it is analyzed that the second terminal device is in AP device mode, it means that the second terminal device can directly provide a hotspot to the first terminal for connection, and the first terminal device can directly send a connection request to the second terminal device for network connection. The AP mode allows a wireless router or wireless access point to forward wireless signals to other devices so that they can access the network. Therefore, the first terminal device can directly send a connection request to the second terminal device for network connection.

[0064] In one implementation, in the AP mode, if no transmission data is obtained within the first preset time, the AP mode is switched to the STA mode. In a specific implementation, after the first terminal device switches to the AP mode, if no transmission data is obtained within the first preset time, it will automatically switch from the AP mode back to the STA mode. For example, if no transmission data is received within twenty minutes, it will automatically switch from the AP mode back to the STA mode. By switching in a timely manner to adapt to different needs, for example, the AP mode is suitable for scenarios where network access needs to be provided for multiple wireless devices, such as homes, offices, public places, etc. As a central node, the AP device can easily manage and control devices accessing the network while providing stable wireless signal coverage. The STA mode is suitable for mobile devices or devices that need to be connected to an existing wireless network. For example, when mobile phones, laptops and other devices are connected to a home or office WiFi network, they work in STA mode. They access the Internet or communicate with other devices through wireless networks.

[0065] In one implementation, in the AP mode, if the connection is interrupted, it automatically switches to the STA mode. In a specific implementation, in the AP mode, if the connection is interrupted, the first terminal device automatically switches back to the STA mode. The automatic switching avoids the tedious manual operation, which greatly reduces the burden on the user device and improves the switching efficiency, bringing great convenience to the user's use.

[0066] In one implementation, in the AP mode, if no transmission data is obtained within the second preset time, the energy-saving mode is started. In specific real time, in the AP mode, when the data transmission is stopped last time, the timing starts, and when no transmission data is received within the second preset time, the energy-saving mode is started. For example, if no transmission data is received within fifteen minutes, it will switch to the energy-saving mode, and the energy-saving mode helps to effectively reduce energy consumption. The second preset time is less than the first preset mode, that is, in the AP mode, if no transmission data is received for a long time, it will switch to the energy-saving mode first, and if no transmission data is received within a period of time, it will switch from the AP mode back to the STA mode. By switching to the energy-saving mode for a transition first, and then switching back to the STA mode, the energy-saving mode can effectively reduce energy consumption. For example, when the first terminal device is a mobile phone, the AP mode will consume more energy, which will cause heating and the like. By switching to the energy-saving mode in a timely manner, energy consumption can be effectively reduced, and if there is still no data transmission in the energy-saving mode, the device will be switched from the AP mode to the STA mode in a timely manner. It is also convenient to receive the AP mode signal sent by other devices, and the first terminal device can connect to the hotspot device. In STA mode, you can connect to a stable AP node to provide a stable network connection. When the device is in STA mode, you can quickly and conveniently connect to the WiFi network to access the Internet quickly. WiFi networks usually have encryption functions, which can ensure communication security in STA mode.

[0067] In one implementation, in the energy-saving mode, if the transmission data is not obtained within the third preset time, it switches to the STA mode. In a specific implementation, if in the energy-saving mode, if the transmission data is not obtained within the third preset time, the first terminal device will switch from the energy-saving mode to the STA mode. Timely switch the device from the energy-saving mode to the STA mode. It is also convenient to receive AP mode signals sent by other devices, and the first terminal device can connect to the hotspot device. In the STA mode, a stable network connection can be provided by connecting to a stable AP node. When the device is in the STA mode, it can quickly and conveniently connect to the WiFi network to achieve fast Internet access. The WiFi network usually has an encryption function, and the communication security can be ensured in the STA mode.

[0068] In one implementation, historical connection data is obtained, and a connection probability is determined based on the historical connection data; if the connection probability is lower than a preset value, the receiving frequency is increased or the cache is increased. In a specific implementation, the historical connection data of the first terminal device is obtained, analyzed, and the connection probability is calculated. If the connection probability is lower than a preset connection probability, the receiving frequency is adjusted, and the receiving frequency is appropriately increased so that it can connect to other devices as much as possible; or the cache amount is increased to increase the connection probability. For example, if the preset connection probability is less than 70%, the receiving frequency is increased so that it can connect to more devices.

[0069] In one implementation, the method further includes: sending a device broadcast to the first terminal device, the device broadcast is used to identify whether the device is in STA device mode or AP device mode. In a specific implementation, the second terminal device sends a device broadcast, broadcasts the device broadcast, and when the first terminal device receives the device broadcast sent by the second terminal device, it can determine the mode of the second terminal device after parsing it, and then determine whether to switch the mode.

[0070] In one implementation, in the energy-saving mode, the following parameters can be set for state switching, such as influencing parameters, user usage data, external environment, signaling judgment, sensor data, power data, external device interference, etc. Specifically, for example, when a request signal from an external device is received, adaptive switching is performed. If the external signal is a request to connect to a hotspot, the device is switched to AP mode in time; sensor data can also be received, and how to perform adaptive switching is determined according to the sensor data; or power data, when it is detected that the power of the first terminal device is lower than a preset value, the first terminal device is automatically switched from AP mode to STA mode, such as switching the mode when the power is lower than 20%; mode switching can also be performed according to the interference of the surrounding devices. If many unstable devices are detected to attempt to access, that is, an unsafe environment is detected, the mode is automatically switched from AP mode to STA mode to ensure the safety of the device and the data security of the communication. By adaptively switching between ST mode and AP mode for different special situations, it greatly facilitates the use of users.

[0071] In one implementation, the method further includes: sending a device broadcast to the first terminal device, wherein the device broadcast is used to identify whether the device is in STA device mode or AP device mode. In a specific implementation, the second terminal device sends a device broadcast, and broadcasts the device broadcast. When the first terminal device receives the device broadcast sent by the second terminal device, it can determine the mode of the second terminal device after parsing it, and then determine whether to switch the mode. In STA mode, the device itself does not accept any wireless access, but connects to the AP node for network access. In STA mode, the device can provide a stable network connection by connecting to a stable AP node. When the device is in STA mode, it can quickly and conveniently connect to the WiFi network to achieve fast Internet access. The WiFi network usually has an encryption function. The STA mode can ensure communication security, which is one of the basic modes for users to use Wi-Fi networks in daily life. The AP mode is a specific working mode of a wireless router or a wireless access point, which is mainly responsible for forwarding wireless signals and expanding wireless networks. AP mode allows wireless routers or wireless access points to forward wireless signals to other devices, enabling them to access the network. The advantages of setting AP mode are: Flexibility: AP mode can be flexibly deployed anywhere where wireless network coverage is required without complicated wiring: Scalability: By increasing the number of APs, the coverage of the wireless network can be easily expanded. Compared with traditional wired network expansion methods, AP mode has lower costs and higher efficiency.
