Wireless Connection Authentication via Wired Link Data
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The challenge lies in rapidly and securely establishing a wireless connection between devices when a wired connection is disconnected, especially when multiple wireless devices are available, as existing methods lack efficiency in determining the correct device for connection.
Innovation Solution
The method generates connection authentication information based on related information from the wired connection and sends a wireless connection request that includes this information to verify the legitimacy of the device, ensuring secure and rapid establishment of the wireless connection.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Speed
If traditional wireless connection methods are used when wired connection is disconnected, then wireless connection can be established, but it takes too long to determine the correct device for connection among multiple available devices
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by generating connection authentication information during the wired connection phase, before disconnection occurs. This authentication information is prepared in advance and included in the wireless connection request, allowing the target device to immediately verify legitimacy without time-consuming device search or authentication processes when the wired connection disconnects.
2Reliability
If connection authentication information is generated and verified, then connection security is improved, but device power consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the authentication verification process from the connection establishment phase and places it in the connection request itself. By including connection authentication information directly in the wireless connection request message, the verification can be performed by simply parsing and checking the included information, rather than requiring separate authentication exchanges or complex device scanning processes.
3Reliability
If device scanning and verification processes are performed to ensure secure connection, then connection reliability is improved, but connection delay increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses connection authentication information as an intermediary that carries device identity and legitimacy verification data within the wireless connection request itself. This intermediary element allows the receiving device to verify the sender's legitimacy without needing to perform external device scanning or consultation with other devices, thereby eliminating connection delays while maintaining security.

AI summary
Embodiments of this application provide for establishment of a wireless connection. A method comprises: generating connection authentication information according to related information of a wired connection between a first device and a second device; and sending, in case of disconnection of, a wireless connection establishing request in such a manner that the request can be received by the second device, where the request comprises the connection authentication information. In the methods and apparatuses of embodiments of this application, by using related information of a wired connection as authentication information of establishing a wireless connection, the wireless connection can be established rapidly and securely, and/or device power consumption can also be considered.
