US 2019/0158180 A1 · WIFI NETWORKING METHOD AND SYSTEM VIA INFRARED TRANSMISSION

Abstract

Disclosed are a WIFI networking method and system via infrared transmission. The WIFI networking method comprises: in a WIFI networking mode, a terminal acquires networking information about a router and converts same into an infrared signal and transmits the infrared signal to an electrical appliance; the electrical appliance receives and parses the infrared signal to obtain the networking information, and initiates a connection request to the router according to the networking information; and the electrical appliance establishes a WIFI connection to the router in response to the connection information about the router. By means of transmission in an infrared manner, even in a complicated WIFI environment, a quick and stable WIFI connection can be realized without the electrical appliance monitoring all the time, thereby reducing the power consumption. The present invention also makes use of the existing infrared transceiving modules in the terminal and the electrical appliance, thereby saving costs.
