## Abstract

The objective of the present application is to provide a method, a device, and a system for rewarding a wireless access points. Compared with the prior art, in the present application, after establishing a wireless connection between a user device and a target wireless access point, rewarding prompt information regarding the target wireless access point is presented on the user device. Further, rewarding operation information regarding the target wireless access point submitted by the user according to the rewarding prompt information is sent to a corresponding network device through the wireless connection. Accordingly, the network device receives the rewarding operation information. Further, according to the rewarding operation information, the network device transfers a corresponding rewarding resource from a corresponding account of the user device to a corresponding account of the target wireless access point.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method for rewarding a wireless access point on a user device, comprising:
establishing a wireless connection between the user device and a target wireless access point;
presenting rewarding prompt information regarding the target wireless access point on the user device; and
sending rewarding operation information regarding the target wireless access point to a corresponding network device through the wireless connection, wherein the rewarding operation information is submitted by a user according to the rewarding prompt information.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method according to claim 1, further comprising:
sending to the corresponding network device successful connection information indicating a successful connection to the target wireless access point through the wireless connection; and
receiving the rewarding prompt information regarding the target wireless access point through the wireless connection, wherein the rewarding prompt information is sent by the network device based on the successful connection information.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The method according to claim 1, further comprising:
receiving resource transferring prompt information sent by the network device based on the rewarding operation information, wherein the resource transferring prompt information comprises a rewarding resource corresponding to the rewarding operation information and a corresponding account of the target wireless access point configured to receive the rewarding resource; and
sending the user's confirmation information regarding the resource transferring prompt information to the network device through the wireless connection.

### Claim 4

A method for rewarding a wireless access point on a network device, comprising:
receiving rewarding operation information regarding a target wireless access point submitted by a user device; and
transferring a corresponding rewarding resource from a corresponding account of the user device to a corresponding account of the target wireless access point according to the rewarding operation information.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The method according to claim 4, further comprising:
receiving successful connection information indicating a successful connection to the target wireless access point sent by the user device; and
sending rewarding prompt information regarding the target wireless access point to the user device based on the successful connection information;
wherein, the step of receiving the rewarding operation information regarding the target wireless access point submitted by the user device comprises:
receiving the rewarding operation information regarding the target wireless access point submitted by the user device based on the rewarding prompt information.

### Claim 6 (depends on 4)

The method according to claim 4, wherein the step of transferring the corresponding rewarding resource from a corresponding account of the user device to a corresponding account of the target wireless access point according to the rewarding operation information comprises:
sending resource transferring prompt information to the user device according to the rewarding operation information, wherein the resource transferring prompt information comprises a rewarding resource corresponding to the rewarding operation information and a corresponding account of the target wireless access point configured to receive the rewarding resource; and
transferring the rewarding resource from the corresponding account of the user device to the corresponding account of the target wireless access point in response to a reception of confirmation information regarding the resource transferring prompt information submitted by the user device.

### Claim 7

An apparatus, comprising:
a processor;
a memory storing instructions thereon, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
establish a wireless connection between the user device and a target wireless access point;
present rewarding prompt information regarding the target wireless access point on the user device; and
send rewarding operation information regarding the target wireless access point to a corresponding network device through the wireless connection, wherein the rewarding operation information is submitted by a user according to the rewarding prompt information.
