Method for automatically enabling access point function and relay function, and electronic device

1 . A method for automatically enabling an access point function and a relay function, comprising:

determining that an electronic device is powered on;

determining if the electronic device does not use a network within a preset duration;

in response to determining that the electronic device does not use the network within the preset duration, displaying a prompt information used to prompt a user to confirm to set the electronic device as an access point (AP) or a repeater based on a network access mode; and

setting, based on the confirmation, the electronic device as the AP or the repeater based on the network access mode.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the setting the electronic device as the AP or the repeater based on the network access mode comprises:

if the electronic device is connected to a wired network, setting the electronic device as the AP.

3 . The method according to claim 2 , further comprising:

obtaining AP configuration information of the electronic device; wherein

the setting the electronic device as the AP comprises:

setting the electronic device to an AP mode based on the AP configuration information.

4 . The method according to claim 3 , wherein the obtaining AP configuration information of the electronic device comprises:

obtaining, by the electronic device, AP configuration information of a wireless fidelity Wi-Fi network to which the electronic device has connected; or

receiving, by the electronic device, AP configuration information input by the user.

5 . The method according to claim 3 , wherein the obtaining AP configuration information of the electronic device comprises:

when access to the wired network is detected, obtaining, by the electronic device, the AP configuration information.

6 . The method according to claim 3 , wherein the AP configuration information comprises at least one or more of:

a service set identifier (SSID), an access password, or an encryption type.

7 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the setting the electronic device as the AP or the repeater based on the network access mode comprises:

if the electronic device is connected to a wireless network, setting the electronic device as the repeater.

8 . The method according to claim 7 , further comprising:

obtaining AP configuration information of a wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) network accessed by the electronic device; wherein

the setting the electronic device as the repeater comprises:

setting the electronic device to a repeater mode based on the AP configuration information of the Wi-Fi network.

9 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein that the electronic device does not use the network within the preset duration includes:

the electronic device is in a standby mode, or the electronic device does not upload or download data within the preset duration.

10 . An electronic device, comprising:

a processor, and

a memory coupled to the processor to store instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the electronic device to:

determine that the electronic device is powered on; and

determine if the processor does not communicate with a network within a preset duration;

in response to determining that the electronic device does not communicate with the network within the preset duration, display a prompt information used to prompt a user to confirm to set the electronic device as an access point (AP) or a repeater based on a network access mode; and

set, based on the confirmation, the electronic device as the AP or the repeater based on the network access mode.

11 . The electronic device according to claim 10 , wherein

if the electronic device is connected to a wired network, the processor sets the electronic device as the AP.

12 . The electronic device according to claim 11 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

obtain AP configuration information of the electronic device; and

set the electronic device to an AP mode based on the AP configuration information.

13 . The electronic device according to claim 12 , wherein

the processor obtains the AP configuration information of a wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) network to which the electronic device has connected; or

the processor receives AP configuration information input by the user.

14 . The electronic device according to claim 12 , wherein

the instructions further cause the electronic device to:

detect whether the electronic device accesses the wired network; and

the processor is configured to:

obtain the AP configuration information if the electronic device detects that the electronic device accesses the wired network.

15 . The electronic device according to claim 12 , wherein the AP configuration information comprises at least one of:

a service set identifier SSID, an access password, or an encryption type.

16 . The electronic device according to claim 10 , wherein

if the electronic device is connected to a wireless network, the processor sets the electronic device as the repeater.

17 . The electronic device according to claim 16 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

obtain AP configuration information of a wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) network accessed by the electronic device; and

set the electronic device to a repeater mode based on the AP configuration information of the Wi-Fi network.

18 . The electronic device according to claim 10 , wherein when the processor does not use the network within the preset duration,

the electronic device is in a standby mode, or the electronic device does not upload or download data within the preset duration.
