The present invention relates to the field of electronic technologies, and in particular, to a network connection method, a mobile terminal, an electronic device, and a graphical user interface.
In recent years, smart home has developed rapidly, and an increasing quantity of wireless smart hardware electronic devices (referred to as “electronic devices” for short) are used in homes. Most of these electronic devices are aftermarket-installed products, so that users (who use electronic devices) need to configure connections to gateways for the devices. For example, Wi-Fi (a Tireless local area network technology created based on the IEEE 802.11 standards) is most commonly used for wireless connection. A gateway used correspondingly during Wi-Fi connection is a Wi-Fi router. Statistics show that more than half of the users have complained about network connection failures of the smart hardware electronic devices. Therefore, how to improve user experience during network connection and implement secure and fast network connection becomes a key problem to be resolved for various smart home solutions and smart hardware electronic devices.
Current mainstream network connection schemes for smart hardware are classified into the following types: automatic network connection, where an electronic device and a gateway agree on, based on a standard-defined key exchange protocol, an ephemeral key for encrypted communication, without a need to download a specified app (application software) or manually enter a password by a user, ensuring convenient network connection for the electronic device while having a security risk of susceptibility to interference from a neighbor; and a SoftAPP (SoftAPP) network connection scheme. Where an app needs to be downloaded and a user needs to manually enter a password, and therefore the scheme can ensure security.
A network connection method, a mobile terminal, an electronic device, and a graphical user interface that are provided in some embodiments of the present invention are intended to avoid a security risk of interference from a neighboring network during network connection of an electronic device to prevent a malicious attack or incorrect connection to the neighboring network; and reduce complexity of a network connection operation that a user needs to perform, improve user experience during network connection, and implement secure and fast network connection.

In the AGPS, the positioning apparatus 108 can obtain positioning assistance by communicating with an auxiliary positioning server (for example, a mobile phone positioning server). In the AGPS, the auxiliary server assists the positioning apparatus 108 in performing ranging and positioning services. In this case, the auxiliary positioning server communicates with the mobile terminal, such as the positioning apparatus 108 (namely, the GPS receiver) of the mobile phone 100, by using a wireless communications network, to provide the positioning assistance. In some other embodiments, the positioning apparatus 108 may alternatively use a positioning technology based on a Wi-Fi access point. Because each Wi-Fi access point has a globally unique MAC address, the mobile terminal can scan for and collect broadcast signals of surrounding Wi-Fi access points when Wi-Fi is enabled, so as to obtain MAC addresses broadcast by the Wi-Fi access points. The mobile terminal sends, by using the wireless communications network, the data (such as the MAC addresses) that can identify the Wi-Fi access points to a location server, and the location server retrieves a geographic location of each access point, calculates a geographic location of the mobile terminal with reference to strengths of the broadcast signals, and sends the geographic location of the mobile terminal to the positioning apparatus 108 of the mobile terminal.
The audio frequency circuit 109, a loudspeaker 113, and a microphone 114 may provide an audio interface between the user and the mobile phone 100. The audio frequency circuit 109 may transmit, to the loudspeaker 113, an electrical signal that is obtained after conversion of received audio data, and the loudspeaker 113 converts the electrical signal into a sound signal for outputting. In addition, the microphone 114 converts a collected sound signal into an electrical signal, and the audio frequency circuit 109 receives the electrical signal and converts the electrical signal into audio data, and then outputs the audio data to the RF circuit 102, so that the audio data is sent to, for example, another mobile phone, or the audio data is output to the memory 103 for further processing.
The peripheral interface 110 is configured to provide various interfaces for external input/output devices (for example, a keyboard, a mouse, an external display, an external memory, and a subscriber identity module card). For example, the mobile phone 100 is connected to the mouse by using a universal serial bus (USB) interface, or is connected, by using a metal contact on a card slot for the subscriber identity module card, to the subscriber identity module (SIM) card provided by a telecom operator. The peripheral interface 110 may be configured to couple the foregoing external input/output peripherals to the processor 101 and the memory 103.
The mobile phone 100 may further include the power supply apparatus 111 (for example, a battery and a power management chip) that supplies power to the components. The battery may be logically connected to the processor 101 by using the power management chip, so that functions such as charging management, discharging management, and power consumption management are implemented by using the power supply apparatus 111.

In some embodiments, the Wi-Fi apparatus 201 may alternatively serve as a Wi-Fi wireless access point that can provide Wi-Fi network connection to a mobile terminal.
The power amplifier 202 is configured to adjust a signal transmit power of the Wi-Fi apparatus 201.
The memory 203 may include a RAM, a ROM, any fixed storage medium, or a removable storage medium, and is configured to store a program that can be used for executing this embodiment of the present invention or an application database in this embodiment of the present invention. The memory 203 receives input from another component by using the bus 205, or information stored in the memory 203 is invoked by another component by using the bus 205. The processor 204 is configured to: execute the program of this embodiment of the present invention that is stored in the memory 203, and perform bidirectional communication with another apparatus by using the bus. The memory 203 and the processor 204 may alternatively be integrated into a physical module applied to this embodiment of the present invention. The program for implementing this embodiment of the present invention is stored and run on the physical module. The components of the electronic device 200 are coupled together by using the bus system 205. The bus system 205 includes not only a data bus but also a power bus, a control bus, a status signal bus, and the like. However, for clear description, various buses are denoted as the bus system 205 in the figure.
The electronic device 200 may further include another wireless signal transmit apparatus such as a Bluetooth apparatus (not shown).
In some other embodiments, the electronic device 200 may further include a display and an input apparatus. The display may be an appropriate apparatus such as a cathode ray tube (CRT, Cathode Ray Tube) display, a liquid crystal display (LCD, Liquid Crystal Display), or a touchscreen (Touch Screen), and receives instructions by using the bus 205 so that a graphical user interface is displayed on a screen of the display.

Displays of some electronic devices 200 include a touchscreen. These displays are also input apparatuses.
The following describes a method for connecting an electronic device to a network with cooperation of a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention. When needing to perform network connection (for example, during initial network connection or when the electronic device needs to reconnect to a wireless network), the electronic device sends a wireless signal that can be recognized by the mobile device; after detecting the corresponding wireless signal, the mobile device indicates that the electronic device is discovered, and after obtaining a network connection confirm operation of a user, provides a notification to the electronic device; the electronic device then decreases a signal transmit power to ensure that a transmitted signal cannot be received by another router and another mobile device after a strength of the transmitted signal is decreased by a specific degree resulting from a partition wall or a long distance, thereby effectively avoiding neighbor interference; the mobile terminal indicates the detected signal strength of the electronic device, and when the mobile terminal is close enough to the electronic device, the mobile terminal and the electronic device perform key exchange, and the mobile terminal sends a wireless network key to the electronic device; and the electronic device dynamically changes and controls the transmit power according to a working mode, thereby ensuring that the device securely completes network connection.
As shown in
In step 101, as shown in
In some embodiments, the electronic device 200 may alternatively send another wireless signal, for example, send a Bluetooth signal (Bluetooth is a wireless technology standard that implements short-range data exchange) by using the Bluetooth apparatus, ZigBee (ZigBee is a wireless network protocol for low-speed short-range transmission), Z-Wave (a home automation wireless network), or the like.
In step 102, the mobile terminal detects the wireless signal sent by the electronic device 200, and indicates that the electronic device 200 is discovered.
In some embodiments, after obtaining a search trigger operation performed by a user, the mobile terminal may start searching for the wireless signal sent by the device, to reduce energy consumption and reduce occupied system resources. For example, the mobile terminal provides an app or a system function interface. After detecting an operation of starting the application performed by the user on the display screen, a search trigger operation performed on the application after the application is started, or a search trigger operation performed by the user on the system function interface on the display screen, the mobile terminal starts the Wi-Fi apparatus 107 to search for the wireless signal.
The mobile terminal detects various operations performed by the user, including the search trigger network connection operation, a network connection confirm operation to be mentioned subsequently, and the like. The operations may be touch operations, detected by the mobile terminal, performed by the user on the touchscreen, or may be detected operations of the user such as gestures, voices, and limb movements. The mobile terminal obtains, by using the input device, an action performed or voice entered by the user, and sends the action or voice to the processor. The processor performs detection to determine whether the action performed or voice entered by the user meets a preset condition. If yes, the processor determines that the corresponding operation performed by the user is detected.
For example, smart glasses, serving as the terminal device, detect a gesture of the user by using a camera, and an internal processor detects the gesture to determine an operation action; or a terminal device having a voice control function collects a voice of the user by using the microphone 114, and an internal processor detects the voice to determine an operation instruction; or a motion sensor and an internal processor perform processing in a cooperation manner to determine a movement of the mobile terminal, and determine, according to the movement, an operation performed by the user, such as a “shake”.
In some embodiments, when the mobile terminal detects the wireless signal sent by the electronic device 200, a display interface of the application or the system function interface displayed on the display screen displays information to indicate that the electronic device 200 is discovered.
After detecting the wireless signal, the mobile terminal may indicate to the user by displaying a notification. The notification (Notification) in all the embodiments of the present invention may be a term in an Android® open source operating system, and a technical person may create a notification according to a development guide for the notification of the system and display different types of notifications on the touchscreen, for example, a status bar notification, a floating notification, or a lock screen notification. The notification may alternatively be a notification in an iOS operating system.
The mobile terminal may further indicate device information of the electronic device 200, for example, a device type (for example, the device is a television, an air conditioner, a lamp, or the like), an initial name of the device before delivery, a serial number or an ID number (Identification) of the device before delivery, and vendor information of the device, based on the detected wireless signal, for the user to identify the electronic device 200.
In some embodiments, when the mobile terminal detects a plurality of electronic devices 200, the plurality of electronic devices 200 may be indicated simultaneously.
In step 103, the mobile terminal obtains a network connection confirm operation performed by a user, and provides a notification to the electronic device 200.
The mobile terminal displays an indication interface on the display interface, and obtains the network connection operation, that is, a network connection configuration operation, performed by the user according to the indication interface. Then, the mobile terminal provides the notification to the electronic device 200.
Then, in step 104 and step 105, after receiving the notification, the electronic device 200 decreases a signal transmit power; and at this time, the mobile terminal prompts the user to hold the mobile terminal and move closer to the electronic device 200, and indicates a detected signal strength of the electronic device 200 in real time.
In some embodiments, the electronic device 200 decreases the signal transmit power to be within a first threshold range, so that a transmitted signal is not detected by another mobile terminal or router when being outside a preset distance range or after being attenuated by an obstacle. For example, the first threshold range is −90 dBm to −110 dBm. Within this signal transmit power range, it can be ensured that another router and mobile phone cannot receive, after the signal is attenuated by a partition wall by 20 dB, the wireless signal sent by the electronic device 200.
The electronic device 200 uses a low power threshold, shielding connection and authentication of an unauthorized gateway. Only a mobile device of an authorized user has an opportunity to perform communication connection to the electronic device 200 at close range, and is not connected to a neighboring network of a same standard. Therefore, the method described in the present invention is suitable for large-scale network deployment.
In some embodiments, the mobile terminal 100 may prompt, on the display screen, the user to move closer to the electronic device 200; monitor in real time a movement status of the mobile terminal 100, the signal strength of the electronic device 200, or a combination thereof; and display, on the display interface, a movement direction (for example, moving closer to or away from the electronic device 200) of the mobile terminal 100 relative to the electronic device 200, the detected signal strength of the electronic device 200, information about a distance between the mobile terminal 100 and the electronic device 200, and the like based on the signal strength of the electronic device 200, the movement status of the mobile terminal 100, or the combination thereof. It should be understood that, in an actual product, any one or more pieces of the information may be selected for display. In addition, an indication manner may alternatively be a single sound indication or vibration indication, or any combination with a display manner of the display interface. Details are not described.
In some embodiments, the mobile terminal 100 may indicate the detected signal strength of the electronic device 200 by using a digit, an icon, or a character, for example, directly display a value or a character of the detected transmit signal power, or display a signal strength icon. When the mobile terminal 100 moves closer to or away from the electronic device 200, the signal strength detected by the mobile terminal 100 changes. The change, for example, a change in the value or an increase or a decrease in a quantity of signal bars on the icon, is directly displayed on the display interface of the mobile terminal 100, thereby prompting the user to hold the terminal device to move towards the electronic device 200.
Then, in step 106, when a preset condition is met in a process in which the mobile terminal 100 moves closer to the electronic device 200, the mobile terminal 100 sends a wireless network key to the electronic device 200. In some embodiments, the preset condition may be that a power intensity of a communication signal of each party of the mobile terminal 100 and the electronic device 200 exceeds a recognition threshold of the other party thereof. For example, a recognition threshold includes a range of the signal strength that is of the electronic device 200 and that is detected when the mobile terminal 100 moves within one meter from the electronic device 200.
In some embodiments, the mobile terminal 100 and the electronic device 200 perform key exchange. The electronic device 200 and the mobile device agree on, according to a standard-defined key exchange protocol, an ephemeral key for encrypted communication, further improving security. Then, the mobile terminal 100 sends the wireless network key to the electronic device 200 in an encrypted communication manner.
In some embodiments, a network key of one or more wireless networks may be stored in the mobile terminal 100. The mobile terminal 100 may display a list on the display interface, where the list includes information about at least one wireless network, obtain a select operation performed on the list by the user on the mobile terminal 100, and send a wireless network key corresponding to the select operation to the electronic device 200, further improving key transmission security.
In this step, the mobile terminal 100 may send the wireless network key to the electronic device 200, so as to ensure network connection security, without requiring the user to manually enter the wireless network key, thereby preventing the user from suffering a trouble of repeatedly searching for the wireless network key, and improving user experience.
In step 107, after receiving the wireless network key, the electronic device 200 increases the signal transmit power, and connects to a wireless network based on the wireless network key.
After receiving the wireless network key, the electronic device 200 restores to a STA working mode, restores the signal transmit power to a normal signal transmit power, and connects to the wireless network based on the wireless network key.
In some embodiments, if the electronic device 200 cannot connect to the network after receiving the wireless network key, a connection failure message may be fed back to the mobile terminal 100. The mobile terminal 100 indicates the connection failure message to the user, and rescinds the wireless network key to the electronic device 200 based on the user's operation, so that the electronic device 200 attempts to reconnect to the network, thereby increasing a connection success rate.
Then, the electronic device 200 may be connected to a cloud server to complete device registration and authentication. The registration and authentication process may be implemented with cooperation of the mobile terminal 100, and details are not described herein.
In the method, in the process in which the electronic device 200 performs network connection with the cooperation of the mobile terminal 100, after being discovered by the mobile terminal 100, the electronic device 200 decreases the transmit power, and performs key exchange after the mobile terminal 100 is close enough to the electronic device 200, preventing the device from being discovered and bound by a neighbor gateway supporting a same protocol as the electronic device 200. This method avoids a situation shown in
(A) In some embodiments, the mobile phone 600 in service may obtain information about a wireless network key in advance, and the mobile phone 600 records an account and a password of a used home Wi-Fi network.
(B) As shown in
Step (A) and step (B) are performed by the mobile phone 600 and the smart TV 700, respectively.
(C) Then, as shown in
In some other embodiments, as shown in
Then, as shown in
(D) The smart TV 700 receives the configuration confirmation and dynamically decreases a power, for example, decreases the power to approximately −90 dBm to −110 dBm. This power intensity can ensure a basis that a signal cannot be received by another router and mobile phone after being attenuated by a partition wall by 20 dB, that is, a mobile phone of a neighbor on the other side of the partition wall cannot receive the signal, obtained after power reduction, of the smart TV 700.
(E) As shown in
(F) As shown in
In step (F), the mobile phone 600 may directly send the wireless network key to the smart TV 700, and display an indication interface 609, indicating that network key information of a router has been sent to the smart TV 700. In some other embodiments, before transmitting the wireless network key recorded in step (A) to the smart TV 700, the mobile phone 600 may display an interface 608 to prompt the user to choose whether to send the network key to the smart TV 700, or provide wireless network key information of a plurality of networks for the user to choose to send to the smart TV 700.
(G) Then, as shown in
(H) Then, the smart TV 700 is connected to a cloud server by using the router 800, and the mobile phone 600 is connected to the cloud server by using the router 800 to cooperate with the smart TV 700 to complete registration and authentication of the smart TV. Thereafter, the mobile phone 600 can control the smart TV 700 by using the network. For example, the mobile phone 600 displays a control interface 610, such as a remote control interface, and the user may remotely control the smart TV 700 by using the mobile phone 600.
In conclusion, the newly used smart hardware device sends a beacon broadcast packet after being powered on; after receiving the beacon broadcast packet, the router and the mobile phone indicate to the user that the new smart hardware device is discovered and ask the user whether to configure network connection; the user triggers the router or a network connection key on the mobile phone to make the electronic device 200 enter a configuration mode; the electronic device 200 and the router exchange a password of the router and a key by using a key exchange algorithm, and the electronic device 200 enters the STA mode and connects to the network and the server based on the key of the router, to complete network connection configuration of the electronic device 200, without requiring the user to manually enter the key. This improves user experience and is suitable for large-scale network deployment.
In addition, this method avoids a prior-art security risk of interference from a neighboring network and a possible malicious attack or incorrect connection to the neighboring network. For example, an attacker uses an authorized electronic device to scan for and bind, in a community, a standard-compliant electronic device of a same type as the electronic device, and even if a transmit power is limited, a problem cannot be avoided that an edge smart hardware device in a user's home is incorrectly connected to a neighboring network of a same type as the wireless network because the edge smart hardware device is closer to the network.
Therefore, a mobile security agent technology resolves a security problem of automatic discovery of a wireless device in an application scenario such as smart home, and eliminates security problems of interference and malicious intrusion from a neighboring network. The mobile security agent reduces operation complexity, and overcomes a difficulty in quick device configuration during large-scale commercial promotion.
