Abstract
A connection method for a mobile device to access the Internet through wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) established by a wireless access point (WAP) includes receiving a connection request from a mobile device. Login information and interface is sent to the mobile device by WAP, the mobile device can generate and broadcast dual tone multi frequency information including its own MAC address through loudspeaker. A distance between the mobile device and the WAP being close, the information of mobile device through DTMF is heard and received and MAC address is extracted. If the extracted MAC address matches the MAC address recorded in an access control list of the WAP, the mobile device is permitted to access the internet through the established WLAN.
Claims15
A connection method applied in an electronic device, the electronic device comprising a storage device that stores an access control list, the method comprising:
- receiving a request from a mobile device to access a wireless local area network WLAN established by the electronic device;
- sending login information to the mobile device, for informing the mobile device to receive the login information and generate dual tone multi frequency DTMF signal comprising a media access control MAC address of the mobile device;
- receiving the DTMF signal when a distance between the mobile device and the electronic device is less than a predetermined distance;
- extracting the MAC address from the DTMF signal;
- and
- when the extracted MAC address matches a MAC address recorded in the access control list, modifying a state of the MAC address recorded in the access control list to allow the mobile device to access the Internet through the WLAN.
An electronic device comprising:
- a storage device that stores an access control list;
- at least one processor;
- and
- the storage device further stores one or more programs that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:
- receive a request from a mobile device to access a wireless local area network WLAN established by the electronic device;
- send login information to the mobile device, for informing the mobile device to receive the login information and generate dual tone multi frequency DTMF signal comprising a media access control MAC address of the mobile device;
- receive the DTMF signal when a distance between the mobile device and the electronic device is less than a predetermined distance;
- extract the MAC address from the DTMF signal;
- and
- when the extracted MAC address matches a MAC address recorded in the access control list, modify a state of the MAC address recorded in the access control list to allow the mobile device to access the Internet through the WLAN.
A non-transitory storage medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by a processor of an electronic device, causes the processor to perform a method for establishing connection, the electronic device comprising a storage device that stores an access control list, wherein the method comprises:
- receiving a request from a mobile device to access a wireless local area network WLAN established by the electronic device;
- sending login information to the mobile device, for informing the mobile device to receive the login information and generate dual tone multi frequency DTMF signal comprising a media access control MAC address of the mobile device;
- receiving the DTMF signal when a distance between the mobile device and the electronic device is less than a predetermined distance;
- extracting the MAC address from the DTMF signal;
- and
- when the extracted MAC address matches a MAC address recorded in the access control list, modifying a state of the MAC address recorded in the access control list to allow the mobile device to access the Internet through the WLAN.
