Method for establishing network connection by using WPS, and mobile Wi-Fi device

A mobile Wi-Fi device comprising:

• a memory comprising instructions;
• and
• a processor coupled to the memory and configured to execute the instructions, which causes the processor to be configured to:
• receive, from a user equipment (UE), a connection request specifying that the UE enables and operates in a station-side connection mode of a Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) function;
• determine, according to the connection request specifying that the UE enables and operates in a station-side connection mode of a Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) function, that the UE enables and operates in the station-side connection mode of the WPS function;
• switch, based on the connection request specifying that the UE enables and operates in the station-side connection mode, from operating in the station-side connection mode to operating in an access point (AP) connection mode;
• and
• establish a WPS network connection to the UE using an AP-side WPS interface corresponding to the AP connection mode.

A computer program product comprising computer executable instructions stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium that, when executed by a processor, cause a mobile Wi-Fi device to:

• receive, from a user equipment (UE), a connection request specifying that the UE enables and operates in a station-side connection mode of a Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) function;
• determine, according to the connection request specifying that the UE enables and operates in the station-side connection mode of the WPS function, that the UE enables and operates in the station-side connection mode of the WPS function;
• switch, based on the connection request specifying that the UE enables and operates in the station-side connection mode, from operating in the station-side connection mode to operating in an access point (AP) connection mode;
• and
• establish a WPS network connection to the UE using an AP-side WPS interface corresponding to the AP connection mode.

A method for establishing a network connection using Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) and implemented in a mobile Wi-Fi device, the method comprising:

• receiving, from a user equipment (UE), a first connection request specifying that the UE enables and operates in a station-side connection mode of a WPS function;
• determining, according to the first connection request specifying that the UE enables and operates in the station-side connection mode, that the UE enables and operates in the station-side connection mode of the WPS function;
• switching, based on the first connection request specifying that the UE enables and operates in the station-side connection mode, from operating in the station-side connection mode to operating in an access point (AP) connection mode;
• establishing a WPS network connection to the UE using an AP-side WPS interface corresponding to the AP connection mode;
• receiving, from the user equipment, a second connection request specifying that the UE enables and operates in the AP connection mode;
• and
• switching, based on the second connection request, from operating in the AP connection mode to operating in the station-side connection mode.
