Abstract

A method, apparatus, storage medium, and terminal for establishing a Wi-Fi connection is provided. The method includes the following steps: when a workstation is detected, determining a Bluetooth binding relationship with the workstation; if the Bluetooth binding relationship indicates that a binding has already been established with the workstation via Bluetooth, sending a session request to the workstation to request to start a session; when it is determined that the session is started successfully, requesting Wi-Fi connection parameter information from the workstation via Bluetooth; and after the Wi-Fi connection parameter information is received, using the Wi-Fi connection parameter information to establish a Wi-Fi connection with the workstation.

Claims (45)

1. A method for establishing a Wi-Fi connection, comprising:

when a workstation is detected, determining a Bluetooth binding relationship with the workstation;

if the Bluetooth binding relationship indicates that no binding has been established with the workstation via Bluetooth, sending terminal information to the workstation via Bluetooth to request binding, and receiving binding information from the workstation to establish the Bluetooth binding relationship with the workstation, wherein the binding information comprises token information;

if the Bluetooth binding relationship indicates that a binding has already been established with the workstation via Bluetooth, sending a session request to the workstation to request to start a session;

when it is determined that the session is started successfully, requesting Wi-Fi connection parameter information from the workstation via Bluetooth; and

after the Wi-Fi connection parameter information is received, using the Wi-Fi connection parameter information to establish a Wi-Fi connection with the workstation.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the session request comprises the binding information.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the Wi-Fi connection parameter information is encrypted based on the binding information.

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

after a Wi-Fi connection is established with the workstation, encrypting the Wi-Fi communication instruction that interacts with said workstation is encrypted through the binding information.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the determination that the session is successfully started comprises:

when an instruction that agrees to start a session is received from the workstation, determining that the session is successfully started, the instruction that agrees to start a session being sent after the workstation verifies and approves the binding information.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the Wi-Fi connection parameter information comprises a service set identifier and a password.

7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the service set identifier and password comprise an encrypted service set identifier and/or an encrypted password.

8. The method according to claim 7 , wherein the establishment of a Wi-Fi connection with the workstation using the Wi-Fi connection parameter information comprises:

decrypting the encrypted service set identifier and/or encrypted password; and

establishing a Wi-Fi connection with the workstation based on the decrypted service set identifier and password.

9. An apparatus for establishing a Wi-Fi connection, comprising:

a binding relationship determination circuit to determine a Bluetooth binding relationship with a workstation when the workstation is detected;

a binding operation circuit to perform an operation to bind with the workstation via Bluetooth when the Bluetooth binding relationship indicates that no binding has been established with the workstation via Bluetooth;

a session request sending circuit to send a session request to the workstation to request to start a session when the Bluetooth binding relationship indicates that a binding has already been established with the workstation via Bluetooth;

an information request circuit to request Wi-Fi connection parameter information from the workstation via Bluetooth when it is determined that the session is started successfully; and

a connection circuit to use the Wi-Fi connection parameter information to establish a Wi-Fi connection with the workstation after the Wi-Fi connection parameter information is received,

wherein the binding operation circuit comprises:

a terminal information sending sub-circuit to send the terminal information to the workstation via Bluetooth to request binding; and

a binding establishment sub-circuit to receive binding information from the workstation to establish a Bluetooth binding relationship with the workstation, wherein the binding information comprises token information.

10. The apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein the session request comprises the binding information.

11. The apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein the Wi-Fi connection parameter information is encrypted based on the binding information.

12. The apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein,

after a Wi-Fi connection is established with the workstation through the connection circuit, the Wi-Fi communication instruction that interacts with the workstation is encrypted through the binding information.

13. The apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein, in the determination that the session is successfully started,

when an instruction that agrees to start a session is received from the workstation, it is determined that the session is successfully started, and the instruction that agrees to start a session is sent after the workstation verifies and approves the binding information.

14. The apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein the Wi-Fi connection parameter information comprises a service set identifier and a password.

15. The apparatus according to claim 14 , wherein the service set identifier and password comprise an encrypted service set identifier and/or an encrypted password.

16. The apparatus according to claim 15 , wherein the connection circuit comprises:

a decryption sub-circuit to decrypt the encrypted service set identifier and/or encrypted password; and

a connection sub-circuit to establish a Wi-Fi connection with the workstation based on the decrypted service set identifier and password.

17. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium in which computer instructions are stored, wherein the steps in the method for establishing a Wi-Fi connection according to claim 1 are executed when the computer instructions are executed.

18. A terminal, which comprises a memory and a processor, the memory storing computer instructions that can be run on the processor, wherein the steps in the method for establishing a Wi-Fi connection according to claim 1 are executed when the processor executes the computer instructions.

19. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer instructions, the computer instructions, when executed by a processor of a terminal, causing the terminal to:

when a workstation is detected, determine a Bluetooth binding relationship with the workstation;

if the Bluetooth binding relationship indicates that no binding has been established with the workstation via Bluetooth, send terminal information to the workstation via Bluetooth to request binding, and receive binding information from the workstation to establish the Bluetooth binding relationship with the workstation, wherein the binding information comprises token information;

if the Bluetooth binding relationship indicates that a binding has already been established with the workstation via Bluetooth, send a session request to the workstation to request to start a session;

when it is determined that the session is started successfully, request Wi-Fi connection parameter information from the workstation via Bluetooth; and

after the Wi-Fi connection parameter information is received, use the Wi-Fi connection parameter information to establish a Wi-Fi connection with the workstation.
