The Wi-Fi hotspot device may present a two-dimensional bar code on the display screen of the Wi-Fi hotspot device, whereby the UE may read the presented two-dimensional bar code. For example, the UE may scan a two-dimensional bar code by using a third-party application that scans the two-dimensional bar code, for example, by using the existing software “Barcode Scanner”.

In the existing process of connecting to a Wi-Fi hotspot device, the user must remember or record Wi-Fi credentials and manually enter such information into the UE, which causes an unsatisfactory user experience.

This reduces user interaction and improves the user experience.

Furthermore, since the authentication mode of some Wi-Fi hotspot devices is currently set to "Open", that is, a mode in which the user does not have to enter the password into the UE, the UE is set to Wi-Fi hot. After finding the spot device, you can connect directly to the Wi-Fi hotspot device.

Common types of 2D barcodes include PDF417 codes, Quick Response Codes (QR Codes), Chinese Sensitive Codes, Color Bar Codes and the like. Currently, the most commonly used two-dimensional bar code is the QR code (registered trademark). FIG. 2 is a schematic view of a two-dimensional bar code according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, the text information included in the two-dimensional bar code can be "WIFI: S: test1; T: WPA; P: 1234;", the SSID is test1, and the authentication mode is Wi. -Text information may indicate that it is a Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) / WPA2 and the authentication password is 1234.

For example, Table 1 shows a definition description of text information in an exemplary two-dimensional bar code. In Table 1, it is assumed that the text information is "WIFI: T: WPA; S: mynewwork; P: mypass".

Optionally, in another embodiment, in step 110, the Wi-Fi authentication information is stored inside the Wi-Fi hotspot device and may be stored, for example, in memory. Therefore, the Wi-Fi hotspot device can read the Wi-Fi information from the memory.

310. The Wi-Fi hotspot device generates a two-dimensional bar code according to the Wi-Fi authentication information. The two-dimensional bar code includes Wi-Fi authentication information, and the Wi-Fi authentication information is used for authentication before connecting to the Wi-Fi hotspot device.

320. The Wi-Fi hotspot device sets a two-dimensional bar code in the management application program corresponding to the Wi-Fi hotspot device.

It is used to present a two-dimensional bar code to.

The embodiments of FIGS. 1 and 2 may be referred to for the specific description of the two-dimensional bar code, but these will not be described again.

In an existing process connecting to a Wi-Fi hotspot device, the user needs to store or record Wi-Fi authentication information and manually enter such information into the UE. This causes an unsatisfactory user experience. However, in this embodiment of the invention, the Wi-Fi hotspot device generates a two-dimensional bar code containing the Wi-Fi authentication information and puts the two-dimensional bar into the management application program corresponding to the Wi-Fi hotspot device.

In this way, the UE that needs to be connected to the Wi-Fi hotspot device can extract the Wi-Fi authentication information from the two-dimensional bar code. The user does not have to manually enter the credentials and the UE connects to the Wi-Fi hotspot device according to the Wi-Fi credentials, which improves the user experience.

Furthermore, since the authentication mode of some Wi-Fi hotspot devices is currently set to "Open", that is, a mode in which the user does not have to enter the password into the UE, the UE is set to Wi-Fi hot. After finding the spot device, you can connect directly to the Wi-Fi hotspot device. In such an manner, the user does not have to enter the corresponding authentication information into the UE, which is extremely dangerous because there is no password protection. However, in this embodiment of the invention, the Wi-Fi hotspot device will generate a two-dimensional bar code containing the Wi-Fi credentials, which will cause the UE to follow the two-dimensional bar code to the Wi-Fi hotspot device. Connect to. This may further guarantee the security of the Wi-Fi network as compared to the password-free mode.

Therefore, in this embodiment of the present invention, the Wi-Fi hotspot device generates a two-dimensional bar code including the Wi-Fi authentication information, and the two-dimensional bar is added to the management application program corresponding to the Wi-Fi hotspot device. Set the code. This allows another UE to obtain the 2D barcode from the management application program and present the 2D barcode to the UE that needs to be connected to the Wi-Fi hotspot device. As a result, the UE that needs to connect to the Wi-Fi hotspot device can connect to the Wi-Fi hotspot device according to the two-dimensional bar code. The user does not need to store or record Wi-Fi authentication information, which improves the user experience.

Specifically, in step 320, the Wi-Fi hotspot device may present a two-dimensional bar code by using another display interface. For example, the Wi-Fi hotspot device may set the generated two-dimensional bar code in the management application program corresponding to the Wi-Fi hotspot device. For example, the management application program may be a Web management page corresponding to a Wi-Fi hotspot device, and a Web management page corresponding to a Wi-Fi hotspot device may be a network parameter, a plurality of Wi-Fi hotspot devices. It can be used to modify settings or similar ones. The management application program may be a third-party application (Application, App) such as a mobile phone application corresponding to the Wi-Fi hotspot device.

Specifically, another UE may manage the Wi-Fi hotspot device. Another UE may acquire the 2D barcode from the Web management page of the Wi-Fi hotspot device and present the 2D barcode on the display screen of another UE. Alternatively, another UE may acquire the two-dimensional bar code by using the application and present the two-dimensional bar code on the display screen of the other UE. For example, another UE may be a computer, which may present a two-dimensional bar code on the display screen of the computer. In this case, the above-mentioned UE that needs to be connected to the Wi-Fi hotspot device scans the two-dimensional bar code presented on the display screen of another UE to extract the corresponding Wi-Fi authentication information. obtain.

The above method is more applicable to Wi-Fi hotspot devices that do not have a display screen.

Where the Wi-Fi hotspot device provides a 2D barcode by using a management application program, the user may further share the 2D barcode with the user of another UE by using the UE. .. This allows another UE to connect to the Wi-Fi hotspot device, which improves the user experience.

Optionally, in one embodiment, the management application program may run on another UE. In this case, another UE needs to connect to the Wi-Fi hotspot device by acquiring the 2D barcode from the management application program and using the display screen of the other UE. You can present the code.

Optionally, as another embodiment, the Wi-Fi authentication information may include at least one of the following plurality of items: SSID, authentication mode, and authentication password.

Further, the two-dimensional bar code in this embodiment of the present invention may be further replaced by a bar code, a three-dimensional bar code, or other predetermined images, all of which are Wi-Fi authentication information. Can be used to incorporate.

Optionally, as another embodiment, the Wi-Fi hotspot device may dynamically update the Wi-Fi authentication information. In this case, at step 310, the Wi-Fi hotspot device may dynamically generate a two-dimensional bar code according to the dynamically updated Wi-Fi authentication information.

Specifically, the Wi-Fi authentication information can be dynamically changed, and the Wi-Fi hotspot device can dynamically generate a two-dimensional bar code according to the changed Wi-Fi authentication information. For example, the authentication password in the Wi-Fi authentication information can be randomly generated or can change according to preset rules. In this case, the Wi-Fi hotspot device can update the Wi-Fi authentication information and generate an updated 2D barcode based on the updated authentication information, and the updated 2D bar. The code can be set in the management application program.

As can be understood, the Wi-Fi hotspot device can dynamically generate a 2D barcode according to the dynamically updated Wi-Fi credentials, thereby ensuring the security of the Wi-Fi network. It will be further improved.
