Blockchain Router Wireless Access Point Connection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current methods for connecting to a wireless access point, such as password-free, encrypted, and web authentication, lack a secure and efficient mechanism for verifying user permissions and payment information, particularly in blockchain-based networks.
Innovation Solution
A method and device where a router acts as a node in a blockchain, receiving verification information from a terminal device, generating a verification result, and granting permission to connect to the wireless access point if the verification is successful, involving decryption of private key signatures, verification of payment information, and confirmation from other nodes in the blockchain.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Speed
If traditional password-free or encrypted connection methods are used, then connection speed is improved, but security and permission verification are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a blockchain as an intermediary system between the terminal device and the wireless access point. The blockchain verifies user permissions and processes payments through distributed nodes, serving as a mediator that enhances both security and connection efficiency without requiring direct trust between connected devices.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces traditional mechanical authentication mechanisms (passwords, verification codes) with a blockchain-based cryptographic verification system. The blockchain uses digital signatures, hash functions, and distributed consensus to verify user identities and permissions, providing enhanced security while maintaining connection speed.
2Reliability
If web authentication with verification codes is used, then security is improved, but operation complexity and time consumption increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent enables the terminal device to automatically perform authentication operations by retrieving verification information from the blockchain and executing the authentication process without manual user intervention. The system automatically verifies permissions and processes payments, reducing operational complexity while maintaining high security standards.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent performs preliminary verification of user permissions and payment information before the actual connection process. The blockchain pre-verify authentication credentials and store permission information, allowing the terminal device to quickly access verified data without repeating complex authentication steps during connection.
3Reliability
If blockchain-based verification is implemented, then security and permission verification are improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent designs the blockchain-based verification system to serve multiple functions simultaneously: identity verification, permission validation, payment processing, and connection authorization. By consolidating these functions into a single blockchain infrastructure, the system reduces overall complexity compared to implementing separate verification mechanisms for each function.

AI summary
Embodiments of the present application disclose a method and a device for connecting to a wireless access point. A specific implementation of the method includes: receiving a request for connecting to a wireless access point sent by a terminal device; sending an address of a router to the terminal device, in which the router is a node in a blockchain, and the address of the router is an address of the node to which the router in the blockchain belongs; receiving verification information sent by the terminal device to the address of the router; generating a verification result based on the verification information; and if the verification result indicates that verification is successful, granting the terminal device a permission to connect to the wireless access point. The implementation provides a new method for connecting to a wireless access point, thereby enriching methods for connecting to a wireless access point.
