detailed description

FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a system for setting a wireless network according to an embodiment of the present invention. The system 100 for setting a wireless network includes a setting terminal device 110 , a first wireless access point 120 and a target electronic device 130 . The setting terminal device 110 and the target electronic device 130 may be large computers, desktop computers, tablet computers, notebook computers, smart phones and other electronic devices with wireless network interfaces. The first wireless access point (Wireless Access Point) 120 supports a wireless network protocol, and the wireless network protocol may be a wireless fidelity (Wireless Fidelity, WiFi) standard. The present invention mainly utilizes the setting terminal device 110 that has been connected to the first wireless access point 120 with a wireless network protocol to transmit the first wireless access point configuration file corresponding to the first wireless access point 120 to the target electronic device 130, so that the target electronic device 130 can set a service identification code (Service SetIdentifier, SSID) and a first wireless fidelity protection access code (WiFi Protected access, WPA) according to the first wireless access point configuration file , connect to the first wireless access point 120 .

2A-2B are flowcharts of a method for setting a wireless network according to an embodiment of the present invention. First, the target electronic device 130 converts to a specific wireless access point conforming to a wireless network protocol, and broadcasts a wireless beacon within the wireless transmission range (step S210 ). Next, the setting terminal device 110 scans all wireless access points within the wireless sensing range (step S220), and the setting terminal device 110 determines whether the wireless beacon broadcast by the target electronic device 130 is detected (step S230). If the determination in step S230 is yes, when the setting terminal device 110 detects the wireless beacon broadcast by the target electronic device 130, the setting terminal device 110 will disable (Disable) the connection with the first wireless access point 120 (step S240), after that, the setting end device 110 uses the wireless network protocol to connect to the target electronic device 130 that transmits the wireless beacon (step S250), if the judgment in step S230 is negative, then return to step S220.

However, as shown in FIG. 2B , in step S250 , the part where the setter device 110 connects to the target electronic device 130 using the wireless network protocol can be subdivided into steps S252 - S256 . First, the setting terminal device 110 broadcasts a Device Discovery Message (Device Discovery Message) (step S252), and the target electronic device 130 replies with the Internet address (IP Address) and port (Port) of the target electronic device 130 according to the device discovery message. ) to the setter device 110 (step S254), and the setter device 110 establishes a connection between the setter device 110 and the target electronic device 130 according to the response message (step S256).

Next, the setting terminal device 110 obtains a first wireless access point configuration file corresponding to the first wireless access point 120, and transmits the first wireless access point configuration file to the target electronic device 130 (step S260), the target The electronic device 130 connects to the first wireless access point according to the service setting identification code and the first Wi-Fi protection access code on the first wireless access point configuration file (step S270 ).

In other embodiments of the present invention, FIG. 2C is a flowchart of a method for setting a wireless network according to another embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2C , the setting terminal device 110 prohibits the connection with the target electronic device 130 after determining that the target electronic device 130 has successfully connected with the first wireless access point 120 . The detailed steps are as follows. After step S270 , when the target electronic device 130 successfully connects to the first wireless access point 120 according to the first wireless access point configuration file, it sends a confirmation message to the setting terminal device 110 . Next, the setter device 110 determines whether the confirmation message is received (step S280), and if the determination in step S280 is yes, the connection between the setter device 110 and the target electronic device 130 is prohibited (step S290). That is to say, the setting terminal device 110 prohibits the connection with the target electronic device 130 after confirming that the target electronic device 130 is connected to the first wireless access point 120 . If the judgment of S280 is negative, that is to say, the setter device 110 judges that the target electronic device 130 has not successfully connected to the first wireless access point 120, then returns to step S260, and retransmits the configuration file of the first wireless access point to the target electronic device 130 .

To sum up, the present invention provides a wireless network setting system and method thereof, which establishes the singleness of the home wireless network setting, allowing multiple electronic devices in the family to log in to the Internet by connecting to the home wireless access point. The device can use the same wireless access point configuration file to connect to the wireless access point at home more conveniently and efficiently, and the user does not need to repeatedly set the service setting identification code corresponding to the wireless access point for each electronic device . The setting of the first wireless fidelity protection access code. In addition, the setting terminal device as the master control terminal of the present invention will also cut off the connection with the target electronic device after confirming that the target electronic device has been connected to the wireless access point at home, so that the target electronic device and the home wireless access point The process of setting up a wireless network connection between points is more stable.

Finally, it should be noted that: the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than limiting them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that: It is still possible to modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the technical solutions of the various embodiments of the present invention. scope.
