Abstract
An electronic device is provided that includes a communication module; a memory configured to store communication connection information for communication connection with an external electronic device; and a processor configured to, upon a communication connection request with the external electronic device, perform communication connection with the external electronic device using pre-stored communication connection information, if the pre-stored communication connection information exists.
Claims21
An electronic device comprising:
- a communication module comprising communication circuitry;
- a memory configured to store communication connection information for communication connection with an external electronic device;
- and
- a processor configured to establish a communication connection with the external electronic device using pre-stored communication connection information, if the pre-stored communication connection information exists, upon a communication connection request with the external electronic device.
A method for establishing a communication connection in an electronic device, comprising:
- storing communication connection information for communication connection with an external electronic device;
- and
- upon a communication connection request with the external electronic device, performing communication connection with the external electronic device using pre-stored communication connection information, if the pre-stored communication connection information exists.
A storage medium storing a communication connection program in an electronic device, the program comprising:
- storing communication connection information for communication connection with an external electronic device;
- and
- upon a communication connection request with the external electronic device, performing communication connection with the external electronic device using pre-stored communication connection information, if the pre-stored communication connection information exists.
A method for establishing a communication connection with an access point (AP) in a wireless fidelity (WiFi) client, comprising:
- obtaining an AP selection command for the AP;
- obtaining a Service Set Identifier (SSID) of the AP from the obtained AP selection command, and sending a Probe Request signal including the SSID of the AP;
- receiving a Probe Response signal from the AP;
- parsing the received Probe Response signal and storing second communication connection information based on the parsing result;
- sending an Authentication signal to the AP, and receiving an Authentication signal from the AP;
- sending an Association Request signal to the AP;
- receiving an Association Response signal from the AP;
- parsing the received Association Response signal and storing fourth communication connection information based on the parsing result;
- and
- generating an encryption key and sending the encryption key to the AP.
A method for establishing a communication connection with a client in a wireless fidelity (WiFi) access point (AP), comprising:
- receiving a Probe Request signal including a Service Set Identifier (SSID) of the AP;
- parsing the received Probe Request signal and storing first communication connection information based on the parsing result;
- sending a Probe Response signal to the client;
- receiving an Authentication signal from the client, and sending an Authentication signal to the client;
- receiving an Association Request signal from the client;
- parsing the received Association Request signal, and storing third communication connection information based on the parsing result;
- sending an Association Response signal to the client;
- and
- receiving an encryption key from the client.
A method for establishing a communication connection with an access point (AP) in a wireless fidelity (WiFi) client, comprising:
- obtaining an AP selection command for the AP;
- obtaining a Service Set Identifier (SSID) of the AP from the obtained AP selection command, and determining whether the SSID exists in a pre-stored AP list;
- obtaining second and fourth communication connection information corresponding to the SSID if the SSID exists in the AP list;
- and
- generating an encryption key based on at least one of the obtained second and fourth communication connection information, and sending the encryption key to the AP.
A method for establishing a communication connection with a client in a wireless fidelity (WiFi) access point (AP), comprising:
- receiving an encryption key including a Service Set Identifier (SSID) of the client;
- determining whether the SSID obtained from the received encryption key exists in a pre-stored client list;
- obtaining first and third communication connection information corresponding to the SSID if the SSID exists in the client list;
- and
- generating an encryption key based on at least one of the obtained first and third communication connection information, and transmitting the encryption key to the client.
