FIG. 2 is a flow chart of a method according to an embodiment of the present invention. The method is executed by the system described in FIG. 1 . As shown in FIG. 2, the method of the present invention is represented by a solid line (steps S101-S115). The interaction process between the system 10 and the mobile device of the present invention is represented by a dotted line (steps S201, S203).

Specifically, in the method of this embodiment, the Bluetooth transmitter 12 in the system 10 transmits Bluetooth information (step S101 ), wherein the Bluetooth signal coverage of the Bluetooth transmitter 12 defines a geographic fence. The mobile device 5 located within the geo-fence (ie, the coverage range of the Bluetooth signal) of the Bluetooth transmitter 12 of the present invention can receive the Bluetooth information through the application program. Then, the application program will make the mobile device 5 connect to the wireless router 14 through the WiFi wireless network, and connect to the gateway 16 through the wireless router 14, so as to transmit the first identification information to the server 18 (step 201). The first identification information is used as identification of the mobile device.

The server 18 of the system of the present invention receives the first identification information transmitted from the application program (step S103 ), assigns the second identification information according to the first identification information and transmits it to the application program (step S105 ). Next, the application program calculates based on the Bluetooth information and the second identification information, obtains the third identification information, and sends it to the server 18 (step S203 ). The server 18 in the system 10 receives the third identification information (step S107). The server 18 verifies the third identification information and returns the authorization verification result to the gateway 16 (step S109). When the authorization verification result is true, the gateway 16 controls the wireless router 14 to allow the mobile device 5 to connect with the wireless router 14 and the gateway 16. Internet 20 (step S111). Based on this, the present invention enables the user's mobile device 5 to be automatically authorized to connect to the Internet 20 based on the steps S101-S111.

In addition, the method of the present invention may further include steps S113-S115, which are described in detail as follows.

The method of the present invention also includes providing other online services (for example, social networking, games or shopping, etc.), as in step S114, when the authorization result is true, the system 10 allows the mobile device 5 to use other services of the system 10. Specifically, the system 10 authorizes the mobile device 5 to access an online chat room through the wireless router 14 and the gateway 16 .

In addition, the method of the present invention further has an optional step S113, when the gateway 16 controls the wireless router 14 to allow the mobile device 5 to connect to the Internet 20 or an online chat room through the wireless router 14 and the gateway 16, the server 18 sends a notification to the mobile device 5, To inform the mobile device 5 to release the networking restriction or connect to the online chat room. This notification can be text information, but is not limited thereto.

Furthermore, in step S115, if the mobile device 5 is not within the geo-fence, then the connection of the mobile device 5 to the Internet 20 and/or the online chat room is suspended. In one embodiment, the specific implementation process of step S113 is shown in FIG. 3 . Make the server 18 request the mobile device 5 to return the fourth identification information (step S313); The router 14 restricts the mobile device 5 from connecting to the Internet 20 and/or the online chat room (step S315).

When the mobile device 5 is not within the geo-fence, it cannot receive the signal transmitted by the wireless router 14 and the gateway 16 from the server 18 requesting the mobile device 5 to return the fourth identification information. When the server 18 does not receive the signal from the mobile device 5 When replying, the server 18 promptly judges that the user has left the geofence, and thus requires the gateway 16 to control the wireless router 14 to open the restriction on the networking of the mobile device 5, and the mobile device 5 can no longer connect to the Internet 20. When the mobile device 5 enters the communication coverage area of the wireless router 14 next time, if it does not enter the merchant, it cannot receive the bluetooth information, so it cannot be connected to the Internet 20 and/or the online chat room by this method.

The fourth identification information is information used to identify the mobile device 5, which may be specific coded information. When the server 18 receives the fourth identification information transmitted by the mobile device 5, no steps are performed after verification by the server 18. Continue to maintain the connection between the mobile device 5 and the Internet 20 . In another embodiment, the fourth identification information may also include the physical address (MAC address) of the mobile device 5, network protocol address information (IP address), or a combination thereof.

This embodiment is applied in a physical merchant. Bluetooth transmitter 12, wireless router 14, and gateway 16 are set up in this entity merchant, wherein, gateway 16 controls wireless router 14, and the general data packets transmitted by unauthorized mobile device 5 will be filtered out, only allowing the first The packets of the identification information and the third identification information are sent to the server 18 . The Bluetooth transmitter 12 will continue to execute step S101 according to a certain frequency to make the Bluetooth transmitter 12 transmit Bluetooth information. When the user enters the business, the built-in application program in the mobile device 5 held by the user will make the mobile device 5 use the WiFi wireless network to connect to the wireless router 14 after receiving the Bluetooth information, and then connect to the gateway 16 through the wireless router 14, to transmit the first identification information to the server 18 . In other words, step S103 is executed to make the application program connect to the server 18 via the wireless router 14 and the gateway 16 after receiving the Bluetooth information, and transmit the first identification information to the server 18 .

After step S103, the system may execute step S105, so that the server 18 assigns the second identification information according to the first identification information and transmits it to the application after receiving the first identification information. After step S105 , the system 10 continues to execute step S107 , so that when the application program receives the second identification information, the application program calculates the Bluetooth information and the second identification information to obtain and transmit the third identification information to the server 18 . The third identification information is used to generate authentication information for the server 18 . In this embodiment, the third identification information is the result of the application program calculating the Bluetooth information and the second identification information, but it is not limited thereto. For example, the application program can also combine other information (for example: first identification information) to generate third identification information. When the third identification information conforms to the judgment formula preset by the server 18, the server 18 will consider that the mobile device 5 is a legal user, and inform the gateway 16 of the verification result, that is, execute step S109, so that when the server 18 receives When receiving the third identification information, the server 18 verifies the third identification information and returns the authorization verification result to the gateway 16 . When the authorization verification result is true, which means that the mobile device 5 is a legitimate user, the gateway 16 will issue an instruction to the wireless router 14 to remove the network restriction of the mobile device 5; otherwise, if the authorization verification result is false, no action will be executed. That is, the network restriction of the mobile device 5 is not released. This is step S111 , so that when the authorization verification result is true, the gateway 16 releases the networking restriction of the mobile device by controlling the wireless router 14 so that it can connect to the Internet 20 .

In this embodiment, since the second identification information will be allocated with different second identification information each time after reconnecting to the network, when the mobile device 5 leaves the area covered by the business signal, if it wants to reconnect to the network again, It is necessary to enter the merchant to obtain the bluetooth information again, that is, to execute this method again.

In another embodiment, FIG. 4 is a flowchart of another embodiment of the method of the present invention. This method is performed in the system described in Figure 1. In this embodiment, the system includes a plurality of Bluetooth transmitters 12 , and the signal coverage of the Bluetooth transmitters 12 defines a geographic fence. The geo-fence may be set corresponding to an area; for example, a shopping mall, a restaurant, or a commercial building. Furthermore, when the mobile device 5 enters the range of the geographical fence, the application program will receive the Bluetooth information transmitted by the Bluetooth transmitter 12, and after performing the verification steps of steps S101 to S109 in Figure 2, when the verification result is true , the gateway 16 controls the wireless router 14 to allow the mobile device 5 to connect to the online chat room through the wireless router 14 and the gateway 16 (step S414).

It should be noted that the geographical fence of this method is set corresponding to an area, therefore, the members in the online chat room are limited to the mobile devices 5 corresponding to the Bluetooth transmitter 12 within its signal coverage range (that is, the geographical fence). user.

Furthermore, in step S416, the server 18 may receive a chat message sent by the mobile device 5, and display the chat message and a user message corresponding to the mobile device 5 in the online chat room. In practical applications, the user information can be any data related to the user, such as user account number, basic data, user photo or a specific location of the mobile device 5 held by the user within the geographic fence, so as to improve online Chat room entertainment. In addition, users can also decide whether to disclose all or part of the user information in the online chat room or choose to share one or more user information with specific members in the chat room through the setting function provided by the application according to their personal wishes. .

In step S418, the server 18 detects whether the mobile device 5 is located within the geographic fence, and if the mobile device 5 has left the signal coverage of the Bluetooth transmitter 12 (that is, the geographic fence), then immediately terminate the connection of the mobile device 5 to the Permissions for said online chat room. In this way, the method of the present invention allows multiple users located in a specific area to communicate online, and once a certain user leaves the area, he cannot continue to participate in online communication because the networking authority is revoked. For the area provider, such a mechanism can promote the user's willingness to stay in the area (eg, coffee shop), thereby increasing the consumption opportunity of the user in the area.

In a specific embodiment, the step S418 further includes, making the server 18 request the mobile device 5 to return a fourth identification information (step S313); During four identification information, send an instruction to this gateway 16 with this server 18, make this gateway 16 control this wireless router 14 and terminate the networking function of this mobile device 5, make this mobile device 5 can't be connected to this online chat room (step S315 )(As shown in Figure 3).

In an optional embodiment, when the application program of the mobile device 5 receives a Bluetooth message sent by the Bluetooth transmitter 12, it can generate a first identification information, and this first identification information can correspond to a single service or two services at the same time. service (that is, connect to the Internet and chat room service), and then through continuous verification steps (steps S101-S109), the system 10 of the present invention can allow the mobile device 5 to connect to the Internet and/or online chat room service (steps S111, S114).

In other embodiments, the bluetooth transmitter 12 can transmit a plurality of bluetooth information, and when the application program of the mobile device 5 receives different bluetooth information, it can generate different identification information corresponding to a variety of different services (for example, access to the Internet, online chat rooms, promotional offers, or other online services). Those skilled in the art can expand other online services by modifying software settings according to actual software development or service provider requirements.

FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of the embodiment described in FIG. 4 . First, four Bluetooth transmitters (50A, 50B, 50C, 50D) can be set in an area 70, and a corresponding area 70 can be established under the signal coverage of these Bluetooth transmitters (50A, 50B, 50C, 50D). Geofencing.
