Abstract

Embodiments of this application provide for establishment of a wireless connection. A method comprises: generating connection authentication information according to related information of a wired connection between a first device and a second device; and sending, in case of disconnection of, a wireless connection establishing request in such a manner that the request can be received by the second device, where the request comprises the connection authentication information. In the methods and apparatuses of embodiments of this application, by using related information of a wired connection as authentication information of establishing a wireless connection, the wireless connection can be established rapidly and securely, and/or device power consumption can also be considered.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method, comprising:
in response to a disconnection of a wired connection between a first device and a second device, determining, by the second device, according to a transmission characteristic of the wired connection, a role of the first device in a process of establishing a wireless connection;
in response to determining that the role of the first device is an initiator, receiving, by the second device, a wireless connection establishing request of the first device;
in response to determining that the wireless connection establishing request comprises connection authentication information, verifying, by the second device, a legality of the first device according to related information of the wired connection between the first device and the second device, wherein the connection authentication information is generated according to the related information of the wired connection between the first device and the second device, and the connection authentication information is only knowable by the first device and the second device; and
sending, by the second device, to the first device that is authenticated based on the verifying, a response to the wireless connection establishing request.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
determining, by the second device, a connection authentication way of establishing the wireless connection between the first device and the second device.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the determining the connection authentication way comprises:
determining the connection authentication way during communication between the first device and the second device via the wired connection.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the related information of the wired connection comprises at least one of identification information of the first device and the second device, a data transmission amount in a preset time period, information related to transmitted data, or a disconnection time of the wired connection.

5. A first device, comprising:
a memory that stores executable modules; and
a processor, coupled to the memory, that executes or facilitates execution of the executable modules, comprising:
a first determining module configured to, in response to a disconnection of a wired connection between the first device and a second device, determine, according to a transmission characteristic of the wired connection, a role of the second device in the process of establishing a wireless connection;
a receiving module configured to, in response to determining that the role of the second device is an initiator, receive a wireless connection establishing request of the second device;
an authentication module configured to, in response to a determination that the wireless connection establishing request comprises connection authentication information, verify a legality of the second device according to related information of the wired connection between the first device and the second device, wherein the connection authentication information is generated according to the related information of the wired connection between the first device and the second device, and the connection authentication information is only knowable by the first device and the second device; and
a responding module configured to send, to the second device that is authenticated based on the verifying, a response to the wireless connection establishing request.

6. The first device of claim 5 , wherein the executable modules further comprise:
a determining module, configured to determine a connection authentication way of establishing the wireless connection between the first device and the second device.

7. The first device of claim 6 , wherein the determining module is further configured to determine the connection authentication way during communication between the first device and the second device via the wired connection.

8. The first device of claim 5 , wherein the related information of the wired connection comprises at least one of identification information of the first device and the second device, a data transmission amount in a preset time period, information related to transmitted data, or a disconnection time of the wired connection.

9. A computer readable storage device, comprising at least one executable instruction, which, in response to execution, causes a first device comprising a processor to perform operations, comprising:
in response to a disconnection of a wired connection between the first device and a second device, determining, according to a transmission characteristic of the wired connection, a role of the second device in the process of establishing a wireless connection;
in response to determining that the role of the second device is an initiator, receiving a wireless connection establishing request of the second device;
in response to determining that the wireless connection establishing request comprises connection authentication information, verifying a legality of the second device according to related information of the wired connection between the first device and the second device, wherein the connection authentication information is generated according to the related information of the wired connection between the first device and the second device, and the connection authentication information is only knowable by the first device and the second device; and
sending, to the second device that is authenticated based on the verifying, a response to the wireless connection establishing request.

10. The computer readable storage device of claim 9 , wherein the operations further comprises:
determining a connection authentication way of establishing the wireless connection between the first device and the second device.

11. The computer readable storage device of claim 10 , wherein the determining the connection authentication way comprises:
determining the connection authentication way during communication between the first device and the second device via the wired connection.

12. The computer readable storage device of claim 9 , wherein the related information of the wired connection comprises at least one of identification information of the first device and the second device, or a data transmission amount in a preset time period.

13. The computer readable storage device of claim 9 , wherein the related information of the wired connection comprises at least one of information related to transmitted data, or a disconnection time of the wired connection.

14. A system, comprising:
a first device; and
a second device that:
in response to a disconnection of a wired connection between the first device and the second device, determines, according to a transmission characteristic of the wired connection, a role of the first device in a process of establishing a wireless connection;
in response to determining that the role of the first device is an initiator, receives a wireless connection establishing request of the first device;
in response to determining that the wireless connection establishing request comprises connection authentication information, verify a legality of the first device according to related information of the wired connection between the first device and the second device, wherein the connection authentication information is generated according to the related information of the wired connection between the first device and the second device, and the connection authentication information is only knowable by the first device and the second device; and
sends, to the first device that is authenticated based on the legality being verified, a response to the wir
