Abstract

A wireless local area network configuration method and a wireless terminal. In embodiments of the present application, a first MCC is acquired from a user card of the wireless terminal, and then first wireless local area network configuration information corresponding to the first MCC is determined, so that wireless local area network configuration can be performed for the wireless terminal by using the first wireless local area network configuration information. Therefore, a problem in the prior art that an operation of wireless local area network configuration for a wireless terminal is complicated and error-prone can be resolved, thereby improving configuration efficiency and reliability.

Claims (40)

1. A wireless local area network configuration method for enabling communication on a wireless local area network, the method comprising:

acquiring a first mobile country code (MCC) from a user card of a wireless terminal;

determining a first wireless local area network configuration information corresponding to the first MCC, which comprises determining, according to a preset correspondence between the MCC and wireless local area network configuration information, the first wireless local area network configuration information corresponding to the first MCC; and

performing a wireless local area network configuration for the wireless terminal using the first wireless local area network configuration information.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein determining the first wireless local area network configuration information corresponding to the first MCC further comprises:

determining, according to a preset correspondence between the MCC and a wireless compatibility certification Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) country code, a first Wi-Fi country code corresponding to the first MCC; and

determining, according to a preset correspondence between a Wi-Fi country code and wireless local area network configuration information, the first wireless local area network configuration information corresponding to the first Wi-Fi country code.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein after performing the wireless local area network configuration for the wireless terminal using the first wireless local area network configuration information, the method further comprises:

acquiring a second MCC corresponding to the wireless terminal from a wireless network accessed by the wireless terminal;

determining, according to the preset correspondence between the MCC and the Wi-Fi country code, a second Wi-Fi country code corresponding to the second MCC;

comparing the second Wi-Fi country code with the first Wi-Fi country code;

determining, according to the preset correspondence between the Wi-Fi country code and wireless local area network configuration information, a second wireless local area network configuration information corresponding to the second Wi-Fi country code when the second Wi-Fi country code is inconsistent with the first Wi-Fi country code; and

performing the wireless local area network configuration for the wireless terminal using the second wireless local area network configuration information.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein after performing the wireless local area network configuration for the wireless terminal using the first wireless local area network configuration information, the method further comprises:

acquiring a third MCC corresponding to the wireless terminal from a wireless network accessed by the wireless terminal;

comparing the third MCC with the first MCC;

determining, according to the preset correspondence between the MCC and wireless local area network configuration information, third wireless local area network configuration information corresponding to the third MCC when the third MCC is inconsistent with the first MCC; and

performing the wireless local area network configuration for the wireless terminal using the third wireless local area network configuration information.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the wireless local area network is a Wi-Fi network, and wherein the wireless local area network configuration information comprises optional Wi-Fi network channel information and an optional Wi-Fi network standard.

6. A wireless terminal, comprising:

memory for storing executable instructions;

a processor configured to execute the executable instructions to:

acquire a first mobile country code (MCC) from a user card of the wireless terminal; and

determine, according to a preset correspondence between an MCC and wireless local area network configuration information, a first wireless local area network configuration information corresponding to the first MCC; and

perform a wireless local area network configuration for the wireless terminal using the first wireless local area network configuration information for enabling the wireless terminal to communicate on a wireless local area network.

7. The wireless terminal according to claim 6 , wherein the processor is further configured to execute the executable instructions to:

determine, according to a preset correspondence between the MCC and a wireless compatibility certification Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) country code, a first Wi-Fi country code corresponding to the first MCC; and

determine, according to a preset correspondence between a Wi-Fi country code and the wireless local area network configuration information, the first wireless local area network configuration information corresponding to the first Wi-Fi country code.

8. The wireless terminal according to claim 7 , wherein the processor is further configured to execute the executable instructions to:

acquire a second MCC corresponding to the wireless terminal from a wireless network accessed by the wireless terminal; and

determine, according to the preset correspondence between the MCC and the Wi-Fi country code, a second Wi-Fi country code corresponding to the second MCC;

compare the second Wi-Fi country code with the first Wi-Fi country code; and if the second Wi-Fi country code is inconsistent with the first Wi-Fi country code;

determine, according to the preset correspondence between the Wi-Fi country code and wireless local area network configuration information, a second wireless local area network configuration information corresponding to the second Wi-Fi country code; and

perform the wireless local area network configuration for the wireless terminal using the second wireless local area network configuration information.

9. The wireless terminal according to claim 6 , wherein the processor is further configured to execute the executable instructions to:

acquire a third MCC corresponding to the wireless terminal from a wireless network accessed by the wireless terminal;

compare the third MCC with the first MCC;

determine, according to the preset correspondence between the MCC and wireless local area network configuration information, a third wireless local area network configuration information corresponding to the third MCC when the third MCC is inconsistent with the first MCC; and

perform the wireless local area network configuration for the wireless terminal using the third wireless local area network configuration information.

10. The wireless terminal according to claim 6 , wherein the wireless local area network is a WiFi network, and wherein the wireless local area network configuration information comprises optional Wi-Fi network channel information and an optional Wi-Fi network standard.
