[0049] In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are some of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0050] Currently, the discovery and connection of wireless devices are unidirectional, that is, both are through the STA to discover the AP, and the STA initiatively initiates the connection. Taking a mobile phone as the STA and a wireless router as the AP as an example, the working principle of the mobile phone and the wireless router establishing a connection is generally as follows: after the AP is started, it works in a certain channel according to the configuration, and then periodically (for example, every 100 ms) broadcasts a Beacon frame to the outside world. The Beacon frame contains the key information of the AP, such as the Service Set Identifier (SSID), the working channel, the frequency width, the Media Access Control (MAC) address, the supported Physical (Phy) type, the supported rate and the like. The STA can discover the AP through passive scanning, that is, by receiving the Beacon frame in the environment and parsing, the AP in the environment can be determined and listed for the user to select to connect to a suitable AP. The MAC address is also called a physical address.

[0051] However, in some specific business scenarios, the AP needs to discover the STA and initiatively connect, for example, the connection between the peripheral devices (such as a screen transmission device, a smart pen, a wireless microphone and a loudspeaker and the like) of a large board device and the large board device. As the peripheral device of the large board device, if it can be discovered by the large board device and displayed in the discovered device list, the large board device can play a role in centralized connection and management of the peripheral device, so that the user can easily know the state of the peripheral device and connect or disconnect according to the needs, thereby improving the user's use experience.

[0052] In the related art, a BLE module is arranged on the AP and the STA, and the purpose of the AP discovering the STA and initiatively connecting is achieved through the BLE module. However, the addition of the BLE module will cause many problems, for example, increasing the hardware cost, increasing the system complexity and thereby affecting the stability of the system, mutual interference between the BLE module and a Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) module and the like.

[0053] Therefore, the present application provides a wireless connection method, which utilizes the active scanning feature of wireless, sets custom information in the probe request information and the probe response information, and can achieve the requirement of the AP discovering the STA and initiatively connecting without affecting the standard wireless interaction and use and increasing any hardware cost.

[0054] The wireless connection method provided by the present application will be described in detail below in combination with the drawings.

[0055] According to the embodiment of the present application, a wireless connection method is provided. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart of the accompanying drawings can be executed in a communication device or a communication system, such as a set of computer executable instructions, and although the logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described can be executed in an order different from that shown here.

[0056] In the embodiment, a wireless connection method is provided, which can be used in a wireless access point (AP) and a wireless terminal (STA). The AP can be a large panel device, such as a television, a projection screen, an interactive touch all-in-one machine, etc. The STA can be a peripheral device of the large panel device, such as a screen transmitter, a smart pen, a wireless microphone, a loudspeaker, etc. Figure 1 is a flowchart of a wireless connection method according to the embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 1 The method comprises the following steps:

[0057] In step S101, the wireless terminal sends probe request information to the wireless access point. Correspondingly, the wireless access point receives the probe request information from the wireless terminal.

[0058] The probe request information comprises first custom information for representing the identity of the wireless terminal.

[0059] For example, the first custom information can comprise at least one of a first specific tag, a MAC address of the STA, a product serial number (SN) of the STA, and an identity document (ID) of the STA. The first specific tag can be a preset tag, and the present application does not limit the specific form of the first specific tag, which can be a number, a letter, a character, or an icon, etc.

[0060] For example, the first custom information can further comprise at least one of a STA name, a STA type, a hardware version of the STA, a software version of the STA, and a connection relationship of the STA with other APs.

[0061] For example, the first custom information can be set by a vendor custom module.

[0062] In step S102, the wireless access point determines whether the wireless terminal is a wireless terminal within the ecological system of the wireless access point according to the first custom information.

[0063] The wireless terminal in the AP ecology is a wireless terminal matching the first custom information and the first preset information, which can be a STA (for example, a screen transmitter v1.1, a smart pen v1.1, and a wireless microphone v1.1) designed by a manufacturer for the AP (for example, a large board device v1.1) and used with the AP.

[0064] Specifically, when the first custom information is the same as the first preset information preconfigured in the AP, it is indicated that the STA sending the probe request information is a STA in the AP ecology, and at this time, it is also indicated that the AP has searched for the STA, which is equivalent to that the AP has discovered the STA.

[0065] In step S103, the wireless access point sends first probe response information to the wireless terminal in response to a connection operation of a user when the wireless terminal is a wireless terminal in the wireless access point ecology. Correspondingly, the wireless terminal receives the first probe response information.

[0066] The first probe response information is used to instruct the wireless terminal to initiate a connection to the wireless access point, so that the wireless access point and the wireless terminal establish a connection. That is, the AP indicates a request for active connection to the STA by sending the first probe response information to the STA, and then the STA initiates a connection to the AP, so that the STA and the AP establish a connection.

[0067] For example, the first probe response information is probe response information (ProbeResponse) including second custom information. In this embodiment, the second custom information is added to the probe response information to instruct the STA to connect to the AP, so that the AP can more conveniently express the connection requirement to the STA, and the STA can more quickly understand the connection requirement of the AP.

[0068] For example, the second custom information can include at least one of a second specific identifier, a MAC address of the AP, an SN of the AP, and an ID of the AP. The second specific identifier can be a preset identifier, and the specific form of the second specific identifier is not limited in the present application, for example, it can be a number, a letter, a character, or an icon.

[0069] For example, the second custom information can also include at least one of an AP name, an AP type, a hardware version of the AP, a software version of the AP, and a connection relationship between the AP and other STAs.

[0070] Specifically, when the STA sending the probe request information is a STA in the AP ecology, and after the user performs a connection operation on the AP, the AP sends the probe response information including the second custom information to the STA in response to the connection operation of the user, to instruct the STA to initiate a connection.

[0071] Step S104, in case the wireless terminal receives the first probe response information, the wireless terminal initiates connection to the wireless access point, so that the wireless access point establishes connection with the wireless terminal.

[0072] Specifically, the process of the STA initiating connection to the AP includes an authentication phase, an association phase and a handshake phase, and the specific implementation of the authentication phase, the association phase and the handshake phase is a conventional setting in the art, which is not limited herein.

[0073] Step S105, in case the wireless terminal is not an eco-intra wireless terminal, the wireless access point sends second probe response information to the wireless terminal. Correspondingly, the wireless terminal receives the second probe response information.

[0074] The second probe response information is different from the first probe response information, the second probe response information is probe response information not including the second custom information, and the STA does not initiate connection to the AP when receiving the second probe response information.

[0075] The wireless connection method provided in the embodiment, the STA sends the probe request information containing the first custom information to the AP, after the AP receives the probe request information from the STA, judges whether the STA is an eco-intra STA of the AP according to the first custom information, and in case the STA is an eco-intra STA of the AP, sends the first probe response information to the STA in response to the connection operation of the user, so that the STA initiates connection to the AP, and then the AP establishes connection with the STA. The embodiment utilizes the active scanning feature of wireless, sets custom information in the probe request information, so that the AP can timely discover the eco-intra STA, after discovering the STA, sends the first probe response information to the STA through the AP, and realizes the demand of the AP actively connecting the STA. That is, the application can realize the purpose of the AP discovering and actively connecting the STA without affecting the standard wireless interaction and increasing any hardware cost, and improves the stability of the STA and the AP.

[0076] A wireless connection method is provided in the embodiment, which can be used for the AP and the STA described above, Figure 2 is a flow diagram of another wireless connection method according to an embodiment of the application, as shown in the figure, the method includes the following steps: Figure 2

[0077] Step S201, the wireless terminal sends probe request information to the wireless access point. Correspondingly, the wireless access point receives the probe request information from the wireless terminal.

[0078] ​Specifically, after the STA is started, the STA cyclically scans the 2.4G channel or the 5G channel supported by the STA in turn, and stays in each channel for a preset time length (for example, 100 milliseconds). After the AP is started, the AP works in a certain channel supported by the STA according to the configuration. When the STA stays in a certain channel, the STA sends a probe request message to the AP corresponding to the channel. The AP can receive the probe request message from the STA in time by listening to the channel, and sends a probe response message to the STA. Correspondingly, after the STA sends the probe request message, the STA listens to the channel to receive the probe response message from the AP in time. The preset time length is configured according to the requirement, for example, the preset time length can be 5 milliseconds (ms), 10 ms, 20 ms or 50 ms, etc.

[0079] In step S202, the wireless access point determines whether the wireless terminal is a wireless terminal in the ecological system of the wireless access point according to the first custom information.

[0080] For details, please refer to Figure 1 In step S102 of the embodiment shown in the figure, details are not repeated here.

[0081] In step S203, the wireless access point sends second probe response information to the wireless terminal in the case that the wireless terminal is not a wireless terminal in the ecological system. Correspondingly, the wireless terminal receives the second probe response information.

[0082] For details, please refer to Figure 1 In step S105 of the embodiment shown in the figure, details are not repeated here.

[0083] In step S204, the wireless terminal records the wireless access point in the case that the second probe response information is received.

[0084] In this embodiment, after the STA receives the second probe response information, the STA records the AP sending the second probe response information, which can facilitate the STA to know the surrounding APs and improve the convenience of subsequent connection.

[0085] In step S205, the wireless access point determines whether the wireless terminal is a target wireless terminal based on the connection operation of the user in the case that the wireless terminal is a wireless terminal in the ecological system of the wireless access point.

[0086] Specifically, the number of wireless terminals is multiple, and the target wireless terminal is a wireless terminal selected by the user from the multiple wireless terminals.

[0087] For example, when the STA list is displayed on the AP display screen, the STA list includes STA1 to STA5. If the user selects STA2 in the STA list, STA2 is the target wireless terminal. At this time, if the STA sending the probe request message is STA2, the STA sending the probe request message is the target wireless terminal.

[0088] Step S206, the wireless access point sends the first probe response information to the wireless terminal in the case that the wireless terminal is the target wireless terminal. Correspondingly, the wireless terminal receives the first probe response information from the wireless access point.

[0089] Specifically, in the case that the wireless terminal is not the target wireless terminal, the wireless access point does not send the first probe response information to the wireless terminal, continues to listen to the information, and receives the new probe request information in time.

[0090] Step S207, the wireless terminal judges whether the wireless access point is the wireless access point in the ecological system of the wireless terminal according to the second self-defined information.

[0091] The number of APs is also multiple, the AP in the ecological system of the STA is the AP whose second self-defined information matches the second preset information, and the AP in the ecological system of the STA can refer to the AP designed by the manufacturer for the STA and used with the STA.

[0092] Specifically, after the STA receives the first probe response information, the STA judges whether the AP is the AP in the ecological system of the STA according to the second self-defined information in the first probe response information. If the second self-defined information is the same as the second preset information pre-configured by the STA, the AP sending the first probe response information is the AP in the ecological system of the STA.

[0093] Step S208, the wireless terminal initiates connection to the wireless access point in the case that the wireless access point is the wireless access point in the ecological system of the wireless terminal, so that the wireless access point and the wireless terminal establish connection.

[0094] Specifically, in the case that the wireless access point is not the wireless access point in the ecological system of the wireless terminal, the wireless terminal continues to listen to the channel and receives the new probe response information (the first probe response information or the second probe response information) in time.

[0095] The wireless connection method provided in the embodiment can avoid the misconnection between the AP and other STAs and improve the connection reliability in the case that the number of STAs is multiple and the STA sending the probe request information is determined as the target wireless terminal, and can avoid the misconnection between the STA and other APs and further improve the connection reliability in the case that the number of APs is multiple and the AP sending the first probe response information is determined as the AP in the ecological system of the STA.

[0096] In the embodiment, a wireless connection method is provided, which can be used for the AP and the STA described above, Figure 3 is a flow diagram of another wireless connection method according to an embodiment of the application, as shown in Figure 3As shown, the method comprises the following steps:

[0097] In step S301, the wireless terminal determines a channel queue based on at least one first operating channel.

[0098] The first operating channel is an operating channel of an AP within the STA ecosystem, and the channel queue comprises a plurality of operating channels arranged in a preset order, and is used to represent the order of scanning operating channels by the STA.
