Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users face complexity and reduced satisfaction when selecting and connecting to WIFI hotspots without encryption due to varying signal strengths and the need for manual verification, which can lead to incorrect connections and increased economic expenses.
Innovation Solution
A method and system that involve a communication terminal sending preset verification information to a network server, comparing received information, and automatically selecting and connecting to WIFI hotspots without encryption, while encrypting and decrypting data for security, to determine if a second verification is needed, thereby simplifying the process and improving user experience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If manual verification is performed to determine whether a WIFI hotspot needs second verification, then connection accuracy is improved, but user operation complexity increases and user satisfaction decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables automatic verification by having the terminal autonomously send verification information to the network server and automatically determine whether second verification is needed, eliminating the need for manual user verification while maintaining connection accuracy
Solution Approach 2:
The network server provides feedback information in response to verification information sent by the terminal, enabling the terminal to automatically determine whether the WIFI hotspot requires second verification, thus resolving the contradiction between automatic operation and accurate verification
2Ease of operation
If automatic connection to WIFI hotspots is implemented, then user operation is simplified, but connection reliability deteriorates due to incorrect connections
Solution Approach 1:
The terminal sends verification information to the network server before establishing the connection, allowing the system to pre-determine whether second verification is needed, thus ensuring connection reliability while maintaining automatic operation
Solution Approach 2:
The network server returns feedback information that enables the terminal to automatically and accurately determine whether the WIFI hotspot requires second verification before connection, ensuring both automatic operation and connection reliability
3Productivity
If verification information is transmitted without encryption, then communication efficiency is improved, but security deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system changes the state of verification information from plaintext to encrypted form during transmission, protecting data security while maintaining the efficiency of the verification process through standardized encryption operations

AI summary
The present invention discloses a method for connecting and selecting a WIFI hotpot, a communication terminal and system. A communication terminal selects and connects to a WIFI hotpot without encryption; and sends preset verification information to a network server; and after receiving verification information and comparing with locally-preset verification information, the network server feeds back verification information to the communication terminal when the received verification information is consistent with the locally-preset verification information; and the communication terminal receives verification information fed back by the network server and compares with locally-preset verification information, then keeps the connection with the WIFI hotpot when the verification information fed back by the network server is consistent with the locally-preset verification information.
