Mobile Terminal Wireless Connection Method Access Point Search
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional methods for connecting to multiple access points in mobile terminals are slow due to the need to search and access each point sequentially, especially in environments with many available access points, which affects user experience and increases power consumption.
Innovation Solution
A wireless connection method that suspends the search process after finding an access point, determines if pre-recorded access information matches, and then uses that information to access the point, saving it for later use while continuing to search for additional access points, prioritizing connections based on signal strength.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the mobile terminal searches for all available access points sequentially and accesses them one by one using pre-recorded information, then the connection process is completed systematically, but the access speed becomes slow particularly when the number of access points is great
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by performing the search process continuously in the background before access is needed. The terminal maintains an updated list of available access points proactively, so when access is required, the terminal can immediately connect without performing a full search, thus reducing access time while maintaining reliable connections.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamics by adjusting the search behavior based on the terminal's state. When the terminal is stationary, it performs comprehensive searches to build a complete access point list. When moving, it reduces search frequency to save power, dynamically adapting the search strategy to current conditions while ensuring access reliability.
2Reliability
If the terminal repeatedly performs scans and updates candidate access points in a proactive manner, then the terminal maintains an updated list of accessible points, but the power consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the search frequency adaptive to the terminal's movement state. When the terminal detects it is stationary, it performs frequent or continuous scans to maintain an updated access point list. When movement is detected, the scan frequency is reduced or suspended, thereby significantly reducing power consumption while maintaining access reliability when needed.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter of search frequency based on terminal state. By monitoring movement status and adjusting the scan interval parameter dynamically, the system optimizes the balance between maintaining access point availability and minimizing power consumption during different operational conditions.
3Adaptability or versatility
If the terminal continues searching for all access points even after finding one, then it may find additional access points, but the overall access speed decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary comprehensive searches to build a complete list of available access points and their characteristics before access is needed. This preliminary action stores access information including signal strength, location, and other parameters, enabling fast access decisions later without needing to continue searching, thus improving connection speed while maintaining selection flexibility.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical sequential search process with an information-based selection process. Instead of continuously scanning to find access points in real-time, the system uses pre-collected access point information and signal strength data to determine the best access point, substituting continuous mechanical searching with intelligent selection based on stored data.

AI summary
A wireless connection method for a mobile terminal is disclosed, comprising: beginning to search for an access point in a current environment; determining whether any access point is found within a predetermined time, and if a determination result is yes, acquiring a current access point that is found and suspending the searching; determining whether access information that is pre-recorded matches the current access point, and if the determination result is yes, using the access information to access the current access point; saving the current access point into a list; and continuing to search for a next access point, and returning to the step of determining whether any access point is found within a predetermined time. A mobile terminal is also disclosed. Thereby, the mobile terminal and the wireless connection method thereof of the present disclosure allow access points to be accessed quickly to improve the users' experiences.
