Access point connection method and device

Abstract

The invention discloses an access point connection method and device, and belongs to the technical field of wireless networks. The method comprises the steps that when connection operation to a target access point is detected, target access point information is determined, wherein the target access point information is used for identifying the target access point; a target password is acquired from a locally stored offline database according to the target access point information, wherein the offline database is used for storing the access point information and the corresponding password, and the target password is a password matched with the access point information; and connecting the target access point is performed according to the target password. The access point information acquired from a server and the corresponding password are stored in the offline database so that the terminal is enabled to use the offline database to acquire the password of the access point required to be connected under any network connection state so as to connect the access point, and the limitation that the terminal can connect the access point only when the terminal is under the network connection state can be broken through.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of wireless networks, in particular to an access point connection method and device. Background technique [0002] With the development of wireless network technologies, the deployment of a large number of WiFi (Wireless Fidelity, wireless fidelity) access points brings great convenience to users' life. For example, in many public places, multiple WiFi access points are deployed, and the terminal can connect to any WiFi access point to achieve the purpose of accessing the Internet. [0003] In the prior art, most WiFi access points are provided with passwords. In order to facilitate users to obtain the passwords of the WiFi access points, the server may store access point information and corresponding passwords of larger WiFi access points. When connecting to a WiFi access point with a password set, the terminal can obtain a corresponding password from the server according to the access point information of...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Once the terminal cannot connect to the Internet, it cannot obtain the password of the WiFi access point from the server, and thus cannot connect to the WiFi access point. Therefore, the above connection methods are highly restrictive.
