DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the embodiment of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely a part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, but not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by a person skilled in the art without involving any creative efforts will fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.

In the related art, a terminal device needs to obtain a service set identifier (SSID) and a password of a router when connecting to the router. There are many encoding methods for Chinese SSIDs of routers, and the commonly used encoding methods are 8-bit unicode transformation format (UTF-8) and Chinese internal code specification (GBK).

However, when connecting to the router, an application will default that the encoding method of the SSID is UTF-8 encoding, so that the application will send the information of the SSID in the UTF-8 method even when the encoding method of Chinese SSID of the router is GBK encoding, thereby causing network distribution failure of the terminal device.

In order to solve the above problems, the present disclosure provides a network distribution method and apparatus. As there are two commonly used encoding methods, the present disclosure provides the SSIDs of the target router encoded in the above-mentioned two encoding methods in the network distribution data. In the process of network distribution, if a terminal fails to access a router with the SSID of the target router encoded in the first encoding method, the terminal may also try to access the router with the SSID of the target router encoded in the second encoding method, thereby reducing the possibility of network distribution failure.

Application scenarios of the present disclosure are described below.

FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an application scenario of a network distribution method provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 1, a second terminal 103 has successfully accessed the target router 102. Then, if the second terminal 103 wants to inform the first terminal 101 of the SSID of the target router and the password, the encoded SSID and password of the target router 102 may be sent on any one of the channels of the target router 102 using a network distribution solution (such as AirKiss). The first terminal 101 monitors various channels of the target router 102 in real time, obtains the SSID and password of the target router 102 from the channels, and accesses the target router 102 according to the obtained SSID and password of the target router 102.

The first terminal 101 and the second terminal 103 may be a mobile phone, a pad, a computer with wireless transceiving functions, a virtual reality (VR) terminal device, an augmented reality (AR) terminal device, a wireless terminal in industrial control, a wireless terminal in a remote medical surgery, a wireless terminal in a smart grid, a wireless terminal in a smart home, etc. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the apparatus for implementing the functions of a terminal may be a terminal device, or an apparatus capable of supporting the terminal to implement the functions, such as a chip system, which can be installed in the terminal device. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the chip system may be composed of chips, and may also include chips and other discrete components.

It should be noted that the application scenario of the technical solution of the present disclosure may be the scenario in FIG. 1, but is not limited thereto, and the technical solution of the present disclosure may also be applied to other scenarios requiring network distribution.

It is to be understood that the network distribution method described above may be implemented by the network distribution apparatus provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure, or the network distribution apparatus may be part or all of a device, for example, the first terminal, the second terminal, a processor of the first terminal, or a processor of the second terminal.

The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail below by taking a first terminal and a second terminal integrated with or installed with associated execution code as an example. The first terminal involved in the embodiments described below may be the first terminal 101 in FIG. 1, and the second terminal involved in the embodiments described below may be the second terminal 103 in FIG. 1. The following specific embodiments may be combined with one another, and the like or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments.

FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating signaling interaction of a network distribution method provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. The present embodiment relates to a specific process of how a first terminal accesses a target router according to network distribution data provided by a second terminal. As shown in FIG. 2, the method includes the following steps.

In S201, a second terminal generates network distribution data of a target router, where the network distribution data is used to determine a service set identifier (SSID) of the target router encoded in a first encoding method and an SSID of the target router encoded in a second encoding method.

The network distribution data is used to determine the SSID of the target router encoded in the first encoding method and the SSID of the target router encoded in the second encoding method.

Embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit the types of the first encoding method and the second encoding method. For example, the first encoding method in the embodiments of the present disclosure may be the UTF-8 encoding method, and the second encoding method may be the GBK encoding method.

In the present disclosure, after having successfully accessed the target router, the second terminal may inform the first terminal of the SSID and the password of the target router by sending the network distribution data to the first terminal, so that the first terminal can access the target router.

The embodiments of the present disclosure also do not limit how to generate the network distribution data. In some embodiments, after obtaining the SSID of the target router stored in the second terminal, the second terminal may first determine whether an encoding method of the SSID of the target router stored in the second terminal is the first encoding method or not. If not, the second terminal fails to determine the encoding method of the SSID of the target router, and then the second terminal generates the network distribution data of the target router according to both the SSID of the target router encoded in the first encoding method and the SSID of the target router encoded in the second encoding method. If so, the second terminal may determine that the encoding method of the SSID of the target router is the first encoding method, and then the second terminal may generate the network distribution data of the target router merely according to the SSID of the target router encoded in the first encoding method.

In addition, since the password of the router is usually required in the process of accessing the router, the network distribution data may also include the password of the target router.

In S202, the second terminal sends the network distribution data of the target router to the first terminal.

The present disclosure does not limit how the second terminal sends the network distribution data of the target router to the first terminal, for example, over-the-air technology and the like may be adopted. In some embodiments, the second terminal may send the network distribution data of the target router to the first terminal through a WiFi target frame and target sequence of the target router. Correspondingly, the first terminal may monitor the WiFi target frame and target sequence, and obtain the network distribution data of the target router sent from the second terminal from the WiFi target frame and target sequence of the target router.

In S203, the first terminal determines the SSID of the target router encoded in the first encoding method and the SSID of the target router encoded in the second encoding method according to the network distribution data of the target router.

In this step, after obtaining the network distribution data of the target router sent from the second terminal, the first terminal determines the SSID of the target router encoded in the first encoding method and the SSID of the target router encoded in the second encoding method according to the network distribution data of the target router.

The embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit how to determine the SSID of the target router encoded in the first encoding method and the SSID of the target router encoded in the second encoding method from the network distribution data. In some embodiments, the first terminal may obtain auxiliary information from the target frame, and determine, according to the auxiliary information, the SSID of the target router encoded in the first encoding method and the SSID of the target router encoded in the second encoding method from the target sequence.

The auxiliary information includes at least one of: a string length of the target sequence, a check value of the SSID, and indicative information of an encoding method of the SSID.

Furthermore, since the network distribution data also includes the password of the target router, the auxiliary information further includes a password length and a check value of the password length. Correspondingly, the first terminal may determine the password of the target router from the target sequence according to the password length and the check value of the password length.

In S204, the first terminal accesses the target router according to the SSID of the target router encoded in the first encoding method and the SSID of the target router encoded in the second encoding method.

In this step, after determining the SSID of the target router encoded in the first encoding method and the SSID of the target router encoded in the second encoding method according to the network distribution data of the target router, the first terminal accesses the target router according to the SSID encoded in the above-mentioned two encoding methods.

In some embodiments, the first terminal may first try to access the target router using an SSID encoded in one encoding method, and if the access fails, access the target router using an SSID encoded in another encoding method.

Illustratively, the first terminal sends a first access request to the target router, the first access request includes an SSID of the target router encoded in the first encoding method and the password of the target router. After receiving the first access request, the target router tries to identify the SSID of the target router encoded in the first encoding, and verifies the password of the target router. If the target router succeeds in identification and the password is verified as correct, the first terminal accesses the target router. Then, the target router may send an access feedback to the first terminal, the access feedback indicates a successful access to the target router.

Illustratively, if the target router does not successfully identify the SSID of the target router encoded in the first encoding method, an error feedback is sent to the first terminal, the error feedback indicates that the target router fails to identify the SSID of the target router encoded in the first encoding method. Then, the first terminal sends a second access request to the target router, the second access request includes the SSID of the target router encoded in the second encoding method and the password of the target router. After receiving the second access request, the target router tries to identify the SSID of the target router encoded in the second encoding and verifies the password of the target router. If the target router succeeds in identification and the password is verified as correct, the first terminal accesses the target router. Then, the target router may also send an access feedback to the first terminal, the access feedback indicates a successful access to the target router.

According to the network distribution method provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure, a first terminal firstly obtains network distribution data of a target router sent from a second terminal. Then, the first terminal determines, according to the network distribution data of the target router, a service set identifier (SSID) of the target router encoded in a first encoding method and an SSID of the target router encoded in a second encoding method. Finally, the first terminal accesses the target router according to the SSID of the target router encoded in the first encoding method and the SSID of the target router encoded in the second encoding method. Compared with the related art, the network distribution method provided in the present disclosure configures the SSID of the target router in two encoding methods in the network distribution data, such that upon the reception of the network distribution data from the second terminal, the first terminal can try to access the router with SSIDs encoded in different encoding methods, thereby reducing the possibility of network distribution failure.

On the basis of the above embodiments, the following will describe how the second terminal generates network distribution data. FIG. 3 is a flowchart of a network distribution method provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure, which is implemented by the second terminal. As shown in FIG. 3, the network distribution method includes the following steps.

In S301, the second terminal obtains an SSID of a target router stored in the second terminal.

The embodiments of the present disclosure do not limit how to obtain the SSID of the target router stored in the second terminal, and a suitable obtaining method may be adopted according to actual situations.

In S302, the second terminal determines whether an encoding method of the SSID of the target router stored in the second terminal is a first encoding method or not.

In some embodiments, the second terminal may perform transcoding on the SSID of the target router stored in the second terminal using the second encoding method, so as to determine whether the encoding method of the SSID of the target router stored in the second terminal is the first encoding method or not.

Illustratively, if the SSID before transcoding is the same as the SSID after transcoding, it may be determined that the encoding method of the SSID of the target router stored in the second terminal is the first encoding method, and then the network distribution data only needs to include the SSID of the target router encoded in the first encoding method. If the SSID before transcoding and the SSID after transcoding are different, it cannot be determined whether the SSID of the target router stored in the second terminal is encoded in the first encoding method or not, and then the network distribution data needs to include the SSID of the target router encoded in the first encoding method and the SSID of the target router encoded in the second encoding method.

In S303, if not, the second terminal generates network distribution data of the target router according to the SSID of the target router encoded in the first encoding method and an SSID of the target router encoded in a second encoding method.

In some embodiments, since the second terminal sends the network distribution data of the target router to the first terminal through a WiFi target frame and target sequence of the target router, correspondingly, the network distribution data may be generated according to the target frame and target sequence.

Illustratively, FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of a target frame provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure, and FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of another target frame provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, among the eight target frames, the second terminal may use 0x0 frame and 0x1 frame each having nine bits to record a string length of the target sequence, and the string length length is as shown in Formula (1):

length=len(UTF-8_SSID+Random+pwd)+offset (1)

where len( ) is a string length, pwd is a password, Random is a random number, UTF-8_SSID is the SSID encoded in the first encoding method, and offset is a compensation value.

The second terminal may record a check value of the SSID with 0x2 frame and 0x3 frame each having nine bits. A third bit (BIT3) in 0x4 frame may be used as indicative information of the encoding method of the SSID. Illustratively, if BIT3=1, it indicates that the second terminal cannot determine the encoding method of the SSID of the target router, and then, both the SSID of the target router encoded in the first encoding method and the SSID of the target router encoded in the second encoding method need to be sent, and accordingly, offset !=0. If BIT3=0, it indicates that the second terminal can determine that the encoding method of the SSID of the target router is the first encoding method, and then, only the SSID of the target router encoded in the first encoding method needs to be sent, and accordingly, offset=0. In addition, the remaining bits of the 0x4 frame other than BIT3 and 0x5 frame may be configured to record the password length.

0x6 frame represents the high bits of the check value of the password length. If BIT3=0 in the 0x4 frame, then the 0x6 frame represents the low bits of the check value of the password length. If BIT3=1 in 0x4 frame, then 0x6 frame represents offset. As the length of SSID≤32, and commonly used Chinese characters can be represented by 3 bytes in UTF-8 or 2 bytes in GBK, the SSID of the target router has at most 10 Chinese characters, and the corresponding offset≤10.

The target sequence may be, for example, a Sequence. The target sequence must contain a password, a random number and the SSID of the target router encoded in the first encoding method. If offset=0, it does not need to send the SSID of the target router encoded in the second encoding method. If offset !=0, then it needs to send the SSID of the target router encoded in the second encoding method. The string length of the SSID of either coding method in the target sequence may be determined by Formula (2) or Formula (3).

len(UTF-8_SSID)=length−pwd length−1−offset (2)

len(GBK SSID)=len(UTF-8_SSID)offset (3)

UTF-8_SSID is an SSID encoded in the first encoding method, GBK SSID is an SSID encoded in the second encoding method, and pwd length is the password length.

In some embodiments, if it cannot be determined that the encoding method of the SSID of the target router stored in the second terminal is the first encoding method, the network distribution data of the target router may be generated according to the SSID of the target router encoded in the first encoding method.

It is to be noted that if the above offset !=0, it does not need to send the SSID of the target router encoded in the second encoding method.

On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiments, the following will describe how the first terminal obtains the SSID of the target router encoded in the first encoding method and the SSID of the target router encoded in the second encoding method from the network distribution data. FIG. 6 is a flowchart of another network distribution method provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure, which is implemented by the first terminal. As shown in FIG. 6, the network distribution method includes the following steps.

In S402, the first terminal obtains auxiliary information from the target frame, where the auxiliary information includes at least one of: a string length of target sequence, a check value of an SSID, and indicative information of an encoding method of the SSID.

Corresponding to the above embodiments, the first terminal may obtain the string length of the target sequence from the 0x0 frame and the 0x1 frame; the check value of the SSID from the 0x2 frame and 0x3 frame; indicative information of the encoding method of the SSID from BIT3 of the 0x4 frame; the password length of the target router from the 0x4 frame and the 0x5 frame; from the 0x6 frame, the offset if BIT3 is 1, and high bits of the check value of the password length if BIT3 is 0; and low bits of the check value of the password length from the 0x7 frame.

In S403, the first terminal determines, according to the auxiliary information, an SSID of the target router encoded in a first encoding method and an SSID of the target router encoded in a second encoding method from the target sequence.

In the present disclosure, after obtaining the auxiliary information from the target frame, the first terminal may determine the SSID of the target router encoded in the first encoding method and the SSID of the target router encoded in the second encoding method from the target sequence according to the auxiliary information.

In S404, the first terminal accesses the target router according to the SSID of the target router encoded in the first encoding method and the SSID of the target router encoded in the second encoding method.

The technical terms, technical effects, technical features, and embodiments of S404 can be understood with reference to S204 shown in FIG. 2, and like contents will not be repeated here.

On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiments, the process of how the first terminal accesses the target router using the SSIDs of two encoding methods is described below. FIG. 7 is a flowchart of yet another network distribution method provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure, which is implemented by the first terminal. As shown in FIG. 7, the network distribution method includes the following steps.

In S502, the first terminal determines, according to the network distribution data of the target router, a service set identifier SSID of the target router encoded in a first encoding method and an SSID of the target router encoded in a second encoding method.

In S503, the first terminal sends a first access request to the target router, where the first access request includes the SSID of the target router encoded in the first encoding method and a password of the target router.

In this step, after the first access request is sent, if an access feedback sent from the target router is received, the target router is successfully accessed.

In S504, the first terminal receives an error feedback sent from the router, where the error feedback is used to indicate that the target router fails to identify the SSID of the target router encoded in the first encoding method.

In S505, the first terminal sends a second access request to the target router, where the second access request includes the SSID of the target router encoded in the second encoding method and the password of the target router.
