Abstract

A network access method includes receiving, by a first access point, a first network identifier and a first password of a second access point from a server, setting, by the first access point, a first network based on a first network identifier and a first password of the second access point, sending, by an intelligent device, a first network connection request, establishing, by the first access point, a first network connection between the first access point and the intelligent device in response to the first network connection request, sending, by the first access point, a second network identifier or a second password of the first access point to the intelligent device by the first network connection, and sending, by the intelligent device, a second network connection request to the first access point based on the second network identifier or the second password of the first access point.

Claims (48)

1. A network access method, wherein the method comprises:

receiving, by a first access point, a first network identifier and a first password of a second access point from a server, wherein the server stores a mapping relationship between the first access point and network parameters of the second access point, and wherein the network parameters of the second access point comprise the first network identifier and the first password;

setting, by the first access point, a first network based on the first network identifier and the first password of the second access point;

sending, by an intelligent device, a first network connection request to the first access point, wherein the first network connection request comprises the first network identifier and the first password;

establishing, by the first access point, a first network connection between the first access point and the intelligent device in response to the first network connection request;

sending, by the first access point, at least one of a second network identifier or a second password of the first access point to the intelligent device by the first network connection; and

sending, by the intelligent device, a second network connection request to the first access point based on the at least one of the second network identifier or the second password of the first access point.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the network parameters of the second access point further comprise n device identifiers, where n is a positive integer; and

wherein before the sending, by the first access point, at least one of the second network identifier or the second password of the first access point to the intelligent device, the method further comprises:

sending, by the intelligent device, a first device identifier of the intelligent device to the first access point;

forwarding, by the first access point, the first device identifier to the server; and

after the first device identifier matches the n device identifiers, instructing, by the server, the first access point to send the second network identifier and the second password of the first access point to the intelligent device.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the sending, by the first access point, at least one of the second network identifier or the second password of the first access point to the intelligent device comprises:

sending, by the first access point in response to the instruction of the server, the second network identifier and the second password of the first access point to the intelligent device.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the network parameters of the second access point further include n device identifiers, where n is a positive integer; and

wherein before the sending, by the first access point, at least one of the second network identifier or the second password of the first access point to the intelligent device, the method further comprises:

sending, by the intelligent device, a first device identifier of the intelligent device to the first access point;

sending, by the server to the first access point, the n device identifiers corresponding to the second access point; and

after the first device identifier matches the n device identifiers, sending, by the first access point, the second network identifier and the second password of the first access point to the intelligent device.

5. A network access method, comprising:

receiving, by a first access point, a first network identifier and a first password of a second access point from a server;

setting, by the first access point, a first network based on the first network identifier and the first password of the second access point; and

after establishing a first network connection between the first access point and an intelligent device, sending, by the first access point, at least one of a second network identifier or a second password of the first access point to the intelligent device by the first network connection;

wherein before the sending, by the first access point, at least one of the second network identifier or the second password of the first access point to the intelligent device, the method further comprises:

receiving, by the first access point, a first device identifier of the intelligent device from the intelligent device;

receiving, by the first access point, n device identifiers corresponding to the second access point and sent by the server, where n is a positive integer; and

after the first device identifier matches the n device identifiers, sending, by the first access point, the second network identifier and the second password of the first access point to the intelligent device.

6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein before the sending, by the first access point, at least one of the second network identifier or the second password of the first access point to the intelligent device, the method further comprises:

forwarding, by the first access point, the first device identifier to the server, wherein the first device identifier is useable by the server to determine whether the n device identifiers correspond to the second access point match.

7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the sending, by the first access point, at least one of the second network identifier or the second password of the first access point to the intelligent device by the first network connection comprises:

sending, by the first access point in response to an instruction of the server, the second network identifier and the second password of the first access point to the intelligent device by the first network connection.

8. A system, comprising:

an intelligent device; and

a first access point, wherein the first access point is configured to:

receive a first network identifier and a first password of a second access point from a server, wherein the server stores a mapping relationship between the first access point and network parameters of the second access point, and wherein the network parameters of the second access point comprise the first network identifier and the first password; and

set a first network based on the first network identifier and the first password of the second access point;

wherein the intelligent device is configured to:

send a first network connection request to the first access point, wherein the first network connection request comprises the first network identifier and the first password;

wherein the first access point is further configured to:

establish a first network connection between the first access point and the intelligent device in response to the first network connection request; and

send at least one of a second network identifier or a second password of the first access point to the intelligent device by the first network connection;

wherein the intelligent device is further configured to send a second network connection request to the first access point based on the at least one of the second network identifier or the second password of the first access point.

9. The system according to claim 8 , wherein the network parameters of the second access point further comprise n device identifiers, where n is a positive integer;

wherein the intelligent device is further configured to send a first device identifier of the intelligent device to the first access point; and

wherein the first access point is further configured to forward the first device identifier to the server; and

after the first device identifier matches the n device identifiers, send the second network identifier and the second password of the first access point to the intelligent device.

10. The system according to claim 8 , wherein the sending at least one of the second network identifier or the second password of the first access point to the intelligent device comprises:

sending, in response to an instruction of the server, the second network identifier and the second password of the first access point to the intelligent device.
