Solution Overview

Problem

The existing methods for initializing a wireless router require users to manually create a connection and input the admin backstage address, making the process complicated and negatively impacting user experience.

Innovation Solution

An apparatus and method that automatically detect the initialization status of a wireless router through broadcast information, creating a connection channel and displaying the setup interface if initialization is not completed, thereby simplifying the user's operation process.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If the user manually creates a connection and inputs the admin backstage address, then the router setup interface can be accessed, but the operation process becomes complicated

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesetup interface accessVSAvoidoperation process
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The terminal automatically detects the wireless router's initialization status by receiving and analyzing broadcast information, and autonomously creates a connection channel without requiring manual user intervention for connection establishment or address input

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary detection of the router's initialization status through broadcast information before attempting to access the setup interface, and pre-establishes the connection channel automatically when initialization is incomplete

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If the user manually creates a connection and inputs the admin backstage address, then the router setup interface can be accessed, but user experience deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesetup interface accessVSAvoidinitialization setup
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSExtent of automation

Solution Approach 1:

The terminal automatically detects the wireless router's initialization status by receiving and analyzing broadcast information, and autonomously creates a connection channel without requiring manual user intervention for connection establishment or address input

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system continuously receives broadcast information from the wireless router and uses this feedback to automatically determine whether initialization is complete, thereby dynamically adjusting the connection and interface display actions

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

The present disclosure discloses a method and apparatus for displaying a router setup interface, belonging to the field of wireless communication. The method includes: receiving broadcast information from a wireless router, and acquiring configuration parameters contained in the broadcast information; detecting based on the configuration parameters whether the wireless router's initialization is completed; if it is detected that the wireless router's initialization is not completed, creating a connection channel between the terminal and the wireless router; and acquiring a setup interface of the wireless router via the connection channel and displaying the setup interface. In the present disclosure, based on the configuration parameters contained in the broadcast information transmitted from the wireless router, whether the wireless router's initialization is completed is detected; if not completed, a connection channel is created to acquire the setup interface from the wireless router and display the setup interface, thereby solving the problem in the related art that the user needs to perform operations of creating connection and manually inputting admin backstage address which causes the operation process complicated, and achieving the effects of simplifying user's operation process and improving user experience.
