Mobile Wi-Fi WPS Interface Auto-Selection for Dual Mode Connections
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current mobile Wi-Fi devices can only select one fixed WPS interface, which limits their ability to connect with user terminal devices that function as both access points and stations, leading to inconvenient user operations and diminished user experience.
Innovation Solution
A method where the mobile Wi-Fi device automatically identifies the appropriate WPS interface based on the connection mode of the user equipment, enabling either the access point side or station side WPS interface to establish a successful network connection, thereby simplifying user operations and enhancing user experience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the mobile Wi-Fi device presets the WPS to select the AP side interface, then the WPS function can be enabled, but the mobile phone cannot connect successfully to the mobile Wi-Fi device when the mobile phone serves as the access point device
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic interface selection by making the WPS interface selectable based on the connection mode. The mobile Wi-Fi device can switch between AP-side interface and STATION-side interface depending on whether the peer device is in AP mode or STATION mode, rather than being fixed to one interface type.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the interface selection parameter dynamically based on the peer device's connection mode. When the peer device is in AP mode, the mobile Wi-Fi device selects STATION-side WPS interface; when the peer device is in STATION mode, it selects AP-side WPS interface.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the mobile Wi-Fi device supports multiple connection modes, then it can connect with diverse user terminal devices, but it cannot establish WPS connection when the fixed interface selection does not match the user terminal device mode
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service by automatically detecting the peer device's connection mode and selecting the appropriate WPS interface without requiring user intervention. The system autonomously matches the interface type to the connection scenario, eliminating the need for users to manually configure interface settings.
Solution Approach 2:
The interface selection is made dynamic and adaptive based on the detected connection mode of the peer device, allowing the mobile Wi-Fi device to automatically adjust its WPS interface configuration to match diverse connection scenarios.

AI summary
An access network method by using WPS, and a mobile Wi-Fi device are provided, where the method includes: receiving, by the mobile Wi-Fi device, a connection request sent by user equipment; determining, according to the connection request, that the user equipment enables a connection mode of a WPS function, where the connection mode includes an access point mode and a station mode; enabling, according to the connection mode, a WPS interface, of the mobile Wi-Fi device, that is corresponding to the connection mode; and establishing a WPS network connection to the user equipment by using the WPS interface. The WPS interface corresponding to the connection mode may be automatically matched according to the connection mode of the user equipment, so as to ensure that the user equipment can be connected successfully, enhancing user experience.
