Solution Overview

Problem

Existing wireless network access methods suffer from low accuracy in determining network access capability due to erroneous filtering of access points, leading to poor user experience and increased network access time, as they rely solely on previous detection results without considering historical access records.

Innovation Solution

A method that analyzes historical network access detection records to determine the access capability of a target access point by evaluating the percentage of successful entries, allowing for re-evaluation and potential reselection of access points previously incorrectly filtered out.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of time

If the terminal filters out an AP based on previous network access detection results, then network access time is reduced and user experience is improved, but filtering accuracy deteriorates and capable APs may be erroneously excluded

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenetwork access timeVSAvoidfiltering accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The terminal performs preliminary analysis of historical detection records before making filtering decisions. By examining multiple historical detection results and identifying trends (such as consistent failure patterns versus isolated failures), the system prepares accurate filtering decisions in advance, reducing the need for repeated detection attempts and thereby reducing network access time while maintaining high filtering accuracy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements a feedback mechanism where detection results are continuously recorded and analyzed. When an AP is filtered out, the system references historical feedback data to verify whether the filtering decision was appropriate. This feedback loop allows the system to learn from past detection outcomes and improve future filtering accuracy, preventing capable APs from being erroneously excluded while maintaining efficient access time

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Measurement precision

If the terminal performs network access detection on all APs, then filtering accuracy is maintained, but network access time increases and user experience deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefiltering accuracyVSAvoidnetwork access time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The terminal segments the AP selection process into two stages: first, a rapid filtering stage using historical detection records to exclude obviously unsuitable APs; second, a detailed detection stage for remaining candidate APs. This segmentation allows the system to maintain high filtering accuracy for the majority of APs while performing comprehensive detection only on a small subset of candidates, thereby reducing overall network access time without compromising accuracy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of performing full network access detection on all APs, the system applies partial detection actions based on historical data. For APs with consistently poor historical performance, the system performs minimal or no detection (excessive filtering). For APs with uncertain or good historical performance, the system performs partial detection. This approach maintains adequate filtering accuracy while significantly reducing the total detection time and improving user experience

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

AI summary

Embodiments of the present invention disclose an access processing method. The access processing method includes: when it is detected that a target network access point cannot access a network in previous network access detection that is closest to a current moment, obtaining network access information of the target network access point before the previous network access detection; analyzing the network access information to determine whether the target network access point has a network access capability; and if the target network access point has the network access capability, automatically accessing the target network access point, and detecting whether the target network access point can currently access the network. Embodiments of the present invention further disclose an access processing apparatus. By using the present invention, filtering out, because of erroneous determining, a target network access point that can access a network is avoided, and accuracy of network access detection is improved.
