Detailed ways

In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention more clear, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the present invention, and do not limit the protection scope of the present invention.

The mobile phone hotspot identification method of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1 , includes the following steps.

Step s101, scanning the hotspots in the current environment, and selecting the hotspot to be identified.

For example, in a certain location, turn on the smart phone and search for 10 WIFI hotspots. At this time, the user can only see the name of the hotspot and the signal strength, and the user cannot intuitively judge whether there are mobile phone hotspots that are not suitable for connection among the searched hotspots. With this method, the user can manually select a hotspot as the hotspot to be identified. Test, or test one by one automatically by the mobile phone.

Step s102, connect to the hotspot to be identified, and obtain an IP address.

Connect the hotspot to be identified as a normal hotspot, and the hotspot to be identified will assign an IP address to the connected device. The allocated IP address is not randomly allocated, but within a fixed address range. For example, the IP address allocated by a smart phone with an Android operating system is limited to the following 7 ranges of addresses by default:

192.168.42.2-192.168.42.254

192.168.43.2-192.168.43.254

192.168.44.2-192.168.44.254

192.168.45.2-192.168.45.254

192.168.46.2-192.168.46.254

192.168.47.2-192.168.47.254

192.168.48.2-192.168.48.254

The IP address assigned by the smart phone using the IOS operating system is limited to the following range by default:

172.20.10.2-172.20.10.254

The above are the characteristics of the IP addresses allocated by the smart phones of the two common operating systems. Such allocation characteristics belong to the common knowledge in the field and can be known by any technician. This method utilizes this feature to pre-store the range of IP addresses assigned by the hotspot of the mobile phone, and perform the following steps.

Step s103 , search for the IP address range of the mobile phone hotspot, and determine whether the acquired IP address is within the range, and if so, determine that the hotspot to be identified is a mobile phone hotspot.

Compare the obtained IP address with the IP addresses within the pre-stored IP address range. If there is a consistent IP address, it indicates that the currently obtained IP address is assigned by the smartphone, and the hotspot to be identified is a mobile hotspot. Thus, a prompt can be given, and the user decides whether to give up the connection. If there is no consistent IP address, it means that the hotspot to be identified is not a mobile hotspot, and you can continue to connect.

In addition to the above-mentioned characteristics of the assigned IP address, the encryption method of the mobile phone hotspot also has certain characteristics: that is, the encryption method is limited to specific types, unlike ordinary WIFI hotspot encryption methods. Among them, the encryption methods of the virtual hotspot of the Android operating system mobile phone are limited to three types: OPEN, WPA PSK and WPA2PSK, and the encryption methods of the virtual hotspot of the IOS operating system mobile phone are limited to WPA2 PSK.

Based on the above analysis, the encryption method can be used as the identification basis for mobile hotspots. However, since the encryption method of ordinary WIFI hotspots covers the above-mentioned encryption methods of mobile phone hotspots, the encryption method is only suitable as an auxiliary criterion. As a preferred embodiment, the IP address is combined with the encryption method, and judgment is made based on these two features, so that the hotspot of the mobile phone can be identified more accurately.

As mentioned above, the IP addresses assigned by smartphones with Android operating system and smartphones with IOS operating system are in different address segments. According to this feature, it can be further judged which operating system the mobile phone hotspot is virtualized by.

The flow chart shown in Fig. 2 is a preferred embodiment, and this embodiment falls within the IP address range of the mobile phone hotspot of the Android system or falls within the IP address range of the mobile phone hotspot of the IOS system according to the obtained IP address, and the obtained encryption Whether the method belongs to the hotspot encryption method of the Android system mobile phone or the hotspot encryption method of the IOS system mobile phone, determine whether the hotspot to be identified is an Android system mobile phone hotspot or an IOS system mobile phone hotspot.

After it is determined that the hotspot to be identified is a mobile phone hotspot, if the user chooses to keep connected to the mobile phone hotspot, the method can also detect the traffic consumed by the mobile phone hotspot, and issue a traffic reminder. For example, a user owns a smart phone and a smart tablet. The smart phone can be connected to the Internet through a mobile network or a wireless network, while the smart tablet can only be connected to the Internet through a wireless network. In an environment where there is no effective wireless signal to connect, the user wants to surf the Internet through the smart tablet, so he uses his mobile phone to create a hotspot. After the smart tablet is connected to the hotspot, he can freely connect to the Internet, but the data traffic of the mobile phone is consumed. At this point, the method displays a traffic statistics window on the user's smart tablet, so that the user can know how much traffic the mobile phone has used at any time, so that the situation that the traffic exceeds the limit and the user does not know anything about it will not occur.

In addition, mobile phone manufacturers generally provide the function of automatically upgrading the system version or updating software when connecting to a wifi hotspot. If the current wifi hotspot is a virtual hotspot of the mobile phone, the large data package of the upgrade and update will consume more than ten M or even dozens of mobile phones. M traffic, users who are sensitive to traffic will be a big loss. Therefore, after the method recognizes that the current hotspot is a hotspot virtualized by the mobile phone, it automatically prevents software upgrades and updates.

The above is the embodiment of the identification method of the mobile phone hotspot of the present invention, and the identification device corresponding to the above identification method will be introduced below.
