Wireless Access Point Information Display for User Selection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face difficulty in selecting a suitable wireless access point due to limited information displayed on terminal devices, which degrades the user experience, especially in environments with multiple access points.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that detect trigger conditions for acquiring access point information, determine relevant details such as provider-related and availability-related information, and provide this information to user devices for display, enhancing the selection process and security of wireless connections.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If only basic access point information (name and encryption mode) is displayed on the user terminal, then the device complexity is reduced, but the user experience and ability to make informed selection decisions deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments access point information into multiple categories including basic information (name, encryption mode), provider-related information (provider name, contact information), and availability-related information (number of connected devices, signal strength). This segmentation allows the system to present comprehensive information in an organized manner that improves user decision-making without overwhelming the interface
Solution Approach 2:
The patent adds a new dimension to information presentation by including provider-related information and availability-related information beyond the traditional basic access point details. This dimensional expansion enables users to evaluate access points based on multiple criteria simultaneously, transforming the selection process from a simple binary choice to a multi-factor decision framework
2Loss of information
If comprehensive access point information including provider details and availability status is provided, then the user experience and selection accuracy are improved, but the amount of information processing and display complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary actions by having the network device proactively collect and organize comprehensive access point information including provider details, contact information, and availability status before the user needs it. This pre-processing of information reduces the complexity burden on the user terminal during the actual selection process, as the data is already structured and ready for presentation
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces the network device as an intermediary that collects, processes, and manages comprehensive access point information. This intermediary handles the complexity of information gathering and organization, then presents the processed information to users in a manageable format, effectively transferring the information processing burden from the user terminal to the network device
Data Source
AI summary
The present application aims to provide a method, device and system for providing access point information of a wireless access point. Compared with the prior art, the present application comprises upon detection of a trigger condition of acquiring access point information of a wireless access point being met at a network equipment side, the access point information of the wireless access point is determined, and the access point information of the wireless access point is provided to a corresponding user equipment (UE); and, the UE receives the access point information of the wireless access point provided by the network equipment, and displays the same in a corresponding display region. In this way, access point information of a wireless access point determined by network equipment via a means of searching, matching, etc., is displayed on a UE.
