Abstract
A method for connecting to a Wi-Fi hotspot device, the Wi-Fi hotspot device, and a user equipment (UE), where the method includes generating, by the Wi-Fi hotspot device, a two-dimensional barcode according to Wi-Fi authentication information, where the two-dimensional barcode includes the Wi-Fi authentication information, and the Wi-Fi authentication information is used for authentication prior to connection to the Wi-Fi hotspot device, and presenting, by the Wi-Fi hotspot device, the two-dimensional barcode to the UE using a display screen of the Wi-Fi hotspot device such that the UE may connect to the Wi-Fi hotspot device according to the two-dimensional barcode.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a second electronic device;
- a first electronic device communicatively coupled to the second electronic device and configured to:
- generate a two-dimensional barcode according to wireless local area network (WLAN) authentication information corresponding to the second electronic device, wherein the WLAN authentication information is for authentication to connect with the second electronic device;
- and
- send the two-dimensional barcode to the second electronic device;
- wherein the second electronic device is configured to:
- receive the two-dimensional barcode from the first electronic device;
- and
- display automatically the two-dimensional barcode on a display screen of the second electronic device;
- and
- a third electronic device configured to:
- scan, using a camera of the third electronic device, the two-dimensional barcode displayed on the display screen;
- extract automatically the WLAN authentication information from the two-dimensional barcode;
- complete automatic authentication with the second electronic device according to the WLAN authentication information;
- and
- connect to the second electronic device when authentication is completed.
