Abstract

A method for obtaining content of service information is provided. The method includes detecting service network information associated with a wireless network provided by a service information provider, obtaining an identifier included in the service network information, determining whether the identifier is stored in a database, and if it is determined that the identifier is stored in the database, obtaining the content of service information based on a corresponding relation between the identifier and the content of service information.

Claims (44)

1. A method for obtaining content of service information, comprising:

detecting, by a terminal device, service network information broadcasted via a wireless network, the wireless network associated with a service information provider;

obtaining, by the terminal device, an identifier included in the service network information, the identifier including identification information of the wireless network;

determining whether the identifier is stored in a database of the terminal device; and

in response to determining that the identifier is stored in the database, obtaining, from a library stored locally in the terminal device, the content of service information based on a corresponding relation between the identifier and the content of service information and displaying the content of service information on the terminal device, wherein the library includes preset content of service information corresponding to the identifier.

2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

detecting signal strength of the service network information;

arranging the content of service information in an order based on the signal strength of the service network information; and

displaying the content of service information on the terminal device according to the order.

3. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

determining an action associated with the content of service information; and

triggering the action when a user selection of the content of service information is detected.

4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the action associated with the content of service information comprises at least one of: starting an application on a terminal device, connecting to a webpage, receiving information, storing information, and downloading an application.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the identifier further comprises at least one of: identification information of a device broadcasting the service network information, and region identification information of a cellular mobile network.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the database includes a plurality of preset identifiers and content of corresponding service information for each of the preset identifiers.

7. A method for obtaining content of service information, comprising:

detecting, by a terminal device, service network information broadcasted via a wireless network, the wireless network associated with a service information provider;

obtaining, by the terminal device, an identifier included in the service network information, the identifier including identification information of the wireless network;

identifying the service information provider based on a corresponding relation between the identifier and the service information provider;

obtaining, from a library stored locally in the terminal device, the content of service information based on the identified service information provider, wherein the library includes preset content of service information corresponding to the identified service information provider; and

displaying the content of service information on the terminal device.

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

detecting signal strength of the service network information;

arranging the content of service information in an order based on the signal strength of the service network information; and

displaying the content of service information on the terminal device according to the order.

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

determining an action associated with the content of service information; and

triggering the action when a user selection of the content of service information is detected.

10. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the action associated with the content of service information comprises at least one of: starting an application on a terminal device, connecting to a webpage, receiving information, storing information, and downloading an application.

11. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the identifier further comprises at least one of: identification information of a device broadcasting the service network information, and region identification information of a cellular mobile network.

12. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the service network information is broadcast by a network device using a WI-FI or Bluetooth communication protocol.

13. A device for obtaining content of service information, comprising:

an information detecting module configured to detect service network information broadcasted via a wireless network, the wireless network associated with a service information provider;

an identifier obtaining module configured to obtain an identifier included in the service network information, the identifier including identification information of the wireless network;

a determination module configured to determine whether the identifier is stored in a database in the device; and

a content obtaining module configured to obtain, from a library stored locally in the device, the content of service information based on a corresponding relation between the identifier and the content of service information, if the determination module determines that the identifier is stored in the database, wherein the library includes preset content of service information corresponding to the identifier.

14. The device according to claim 13 , further comprising:

an arranging module configured to detect signal strength of the service network information, and arrange the content of service information in an order based on the signal strength of the service network information; and

a displaying module configured to display the content of service information on a terminal device according to the order.

15. The device according to claim 13 , further comprising:

an action initiating module configured to determine an action associated with the content of service information, and trigger the action when a user selection of the content of service information is detected.

16. The device according to claim 15 , wherein the action associated with the content of service information comprises at least one of: a starting of an application on a terminal device, a connection to a webpage, a receiving of information, a storing of information, and a downloading of an application.

17. The device according to claim 13 , wherein the identifier further comprises at least one of: identification information of a device broadcasting the service network information, and region identification information of a cellular mobile network.

18. The device according to claim 13 , wherein the database includes a plurality of preset identifiers and content of corresponding service information for each of the preset identifiers.
