Solution Overview

Problem

Existing network connection methods for intelligent devices without user input operation interfaces face inaccuracies due to the lack of cyclic redundancy check during data acquisition, leading to incomplete or incorrect SSID and password retrieval, which reduces the accuracy of network connections.

Innovation Solution

A method involving a mobile terminal that acquires a graphic code from an intelligent device, displays a network connection interface to configure a target wireless access point identifier and password, and sends these details to a server for the intelligent device to establish a connection without entering monitoring mode.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If the intelligent device uses monitoring mode to acquire SSID and password from communication data, then the device can establish network connection without user input interface, but the received communication data may be incomplete or incorrect due to lack of cyclic redundancy check

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvenetwork connection configurationVSAvoidSSID and password acquisition accuracy

Core Design Contradiction:

Ease of operationVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

A configuration terminal serves as an intermediary between the intelligent device and the wireless router. The terminal performs monitoring mode to capture communication data, then transfers the accurately obtained SSID and password to the intelligent device, eliminating the need for the device to directly monitor data and ensuring accuracy through the terminal's processing

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The configuration terminal performs preliminary actions by capturing the SSID and password from communication data before transferring them to the intelligent device. This preliminary acquisition ensures the data is obtained accurately through the terminal's monitoring function, which then provides the correct credentials to the device without requiring the device to perform its own monitoring

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If the intelligent device performs monitoring mode to acquire network credentials, then the device can connect to wireless network, but cyclic redundancy check is not performed on the acquired data

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvenetwork connection capabilityVSAvoiddata completeness and correctness

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The configuration terminal acts as a reliable intermediary that performs monitoring mode and ensures data accuracy through proper processing. The terminal obtains SSID and password from communication data and transfers them to the intelligent device, ensuring the device receives complete and correct credentials without needing to perform its own monitoring

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system establishes a feedback mechanism where the configuration terminal monitors communication data, processes it to ensure completeness and correctness, then provides the validated SSID and password to the intelligent device. This feedback loop ensures reliability by having the terminal verify and validate the data before transmission to the device

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

3Extent of automation

If the intelligent device acquires SSID and password through monitoring communication data, then the device can establish network connection, but the acquired credentials are usually wrong

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveautomatic network connectionVSAvoidcredential acquisition accuracy

Core Design Contradiction:

Extent of automationVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The configuration terminal serves as a mediator that performs monitoring mode to capture communication data accurately. It then processes and validates the SSID and password before transferring them to the intelligent device, ensuring the automated credential acquisition is both accurate and reliable

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the direct mechanical monitoring approach (where the device itself monitors and may misinterpret data) with a more sophisticated system where the configuration terminal performs monitoring and data processing. This substitution improves accuracy by using the terminal's superior data processing capabilities to validate credentials before transmission to the device

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

AI summary

The present disclosure discloses a network connection method performed by a mobile terminal. The mobile terminal acquires a graphic code on a user-specified intelligent device after receiving a graphic code recognition instruction. The mobile terminal then displays a network connection interface based on the acquired graphic code for configuring a target wireless access point identifier and a target wireless access point password. After receiving a configuration completion instruction through the network connection interface, the mobile terminal sends a user-specified intelligent device identifier, a user-specified target wireless access point identifier, and a user-specified target wireless access point password to a server, so that the user-specified intelligent device can establish a network connection to a target wireless access point. In the present disclosure, the network connection to the target wireless access point is established without the user-specified intelligent device entering a monitoring mode, thereby improving the efficiency of the network connection.
