Mobile Phone Profile Switching via WiFi SSID Detection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing mobile phones lack a location labeling function, making it difficult to automatically switch profiles based on different locations when using WIFI, which hinders user convenience.
Innovation Solution
A profile switching method that utilizes mobile phone WIFI to pre-store SSIDs of WLANs corresponding to specific locations, search for matching SSIDs, and activate pre-set profiles, including settings for ring tone, volume, and vibration mode, when the mobile phone detects a specific location.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If mobile phone WIFI is used to search for WLAN and acquire SSID, then location identification capability is improved, but device complexity increases due to additional software control requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The patent makes the mobile phone's existing WIFI module perform an additional function beyond its original purpose. The WIFI module, originally designed for network connectivity, is now also used for location identification by searching for WLAN SSIDs. This multi-functional use improves location identification capability without adding dedicated hardware, thereby limiting the increase in device complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The mobile phone uses its own built-in WIFI functionality to perform location identification, rather than relying on external dedicated location detection devices. The phone's WIFI module searches for WLAN networks and identifies location based on SSID information, enabling the device to serve its own location identification needs using existing resources.
2Ease of operation
If automatic profile switching function is added to mobile phone, then user convenience is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the profile switching function with the existing WIFI location identification functionality. Instead of creating a separate independent profile switching system, the invention integrates profile management into the WIFI control software. The same software that controls WIFI operations also manages profile switching based on detected SSID, merging two functions into a unified system to minimize complexity increase.
Solution Approach 2:
The software controlling the WIFI module is given additional responsibility to manage profile switching. This multi-functional software handles both WIFI operations and profile management, eliminating the need for separate dedicated profile switching hardware or independent software modules, thereby improving user convenience while limiting complexity growth.

AI summary
The present invention relates to a field of mobile communication, a profile adjusting method based on mobile phone WIFI is disclosed herein. An acquired SSID of the WLAN is compared with a pre-stored SSID, when the acquired SSID of the WLAN and the pre-stored SSID are determined to be the same, a user is prompted and the profile of the mobile phone which corresponds to the pre-stored SSID is activated. The profile switching method based on mobile phone WIFI provided in the present invention utilizes the existing mobile phone WIFI under the control of the mobile phone software to prompt that the user's mobile phone is in different locations based on the different WIFI connecting statuses, and automatically switching the profiles which correspond to locations which is pre-set by the user is achieved, as well as the user is provided convenience.
