Network connection configuration method, network connection configuration apparatus, image forming apparatus,and storage medium

An image forming apparatus, comprising:

• a memory, for storing computer-executable instructions;
• and
• at least one processor, coupled with the memory and configured, when the computer-executable instructions being executed, to perform a network connection configuration method, the network connection configuration method comprising:
• sending out a first service set identifier (SSID) without a corresponding encryption key, such that an electronic device which receives the first SSID is capable of establishing a keyless communication connection with the image forming apparatus based on the first SSID;
• executing a preset operation, wherein the preset operation includes acquiring wireless network information sent by the electronic device which establishes the keyless communication connection with the image forming apparatus, and establishing a communication connection with a corresponding wireless network device based on the wireless network information, wherein after establishing the communication connection with the corresponding wireless network device, the keyless communication connection with the electronic device is disconnected;
• and
• sending out a second SSID with a corresponding encryption key, such that the electronic device which receives the second SSID is capable of establishing a key communication connection with the image forming apparatus based on the second SSID and the corresponding encryption key.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, containing program instructions for, when being executed by a processor, performing a network connection configuration method, the network connection configuration method comprising:

• sending out a first service set identifier (SSID) without a corresponding encryption key, such that an electronic device which receives the first SSID is capable of establishing a keyless communication connection with the image forming apparatus based on the first SSID;
• executing a preset operation, wherein the preset operation includes acquiring wireless network information sent by the electronic device which establishes the keyless communication connection with the image forming apparatus, and establishing a communication connection with a corresponding wireless network device based on the wireless network information, wherein after establishing the communication connection with the corresponding wireless network device, the keyless communication connection with the electronic device is disconnected;
• and
• sending out a second SSID with a corresponding encryption key, such that the electronic device which receives the second SSID is capable of establishing a key communication connection with the image forming apparatus based on the second SSID and the corresponding encryption key.
