Abstract
Disclosed are a method and device for easily connecting to AP in WLAN. An embodiment provides a method for easily connecting to AP in WLAN to enable an IoT station to easily input connection information such as SSID, password, other information, and the like, for connecting the IoT station to the AP, and a device thereof.
Claims11
A method for connecting an Internet of Things (IoT) station to an access point (AP), the method comprising:
- receiving first configuration data using a searched channel;
- receiving a beacon frame packet based on the first configuration data;
- extracting an encryption mode and a listening channel from the beacon frame packet;
- receiving second configuration data using the listening channel and generating a decryption data which decrypts the second configuration data using the encryption mode;
- extracting connection information from the decryption data and connecting to the AP based on the connection information;
- extracting an IP address included in the connection information and connecting to a device corresponding to the IP address via the AP;
- and
- based on confirmation from a terminal that connection to the device corresponding to the IP address is normal, communicating with the device corresponding to the IP address.

An IoT station comprising:
- a communication controller to receive first configuration data using a searched channel and receive a beacon frame packet based on the first configuration data;
- an encryption mode extractor to extract an encryption mode from the beacon frame packet;
- a listening channel extractor to extract a listening channel from the beacon frame packet;
- a decryption unit to receive second configuration data using the listening channel and generate decryption data which decrypts the second configuration data using the encryption mode;
- a connection information extractor to extract connection information from the decryption data, connect to an AP based on the connection information, extract an IP address included in the connection information, and connect to a device corresponding to the IP address via the AP;
- and
- a confirmation unit to, based on receiving a confirmation from a terminal whether connection with the device corresponding to the IP address is normal, communicate with the device corresponding to the IP address.
