Abstract

Disclosed in an embodiment of the present application is an information pushing method, comprising: a wireless network sharer client obtaining a first identifier of a wireless network selected from a wireless network list scanned/stored by a wireless network sharer terminal, and sending the same to a server; the server generating a second identifier and sending the same to the wireless network sharer client; the wireless network sharer changing the first identifier of the wireless network into a third identifier based on the second identifier; the wireless network sharer client obtaining a wireless network list updated by a wireless network sharer mobile terminal and sending the third identifier of the selected wireless network in the list to the server; and the server comparing the second identifier with the third identifier, and allowing successful authentication when the two identifiers are consistent, and registering information about the devices of the wireless network.

Claims

1-4. -4. (canceled)

5. An information pushing method, comprising:

a server receiving a first identifier of a selected wireless network sent by a wireless network sharer client;

the server generating a second identifier and sending the same to the wireless network sharer client;

the server receiving a third identifier of the selected wireless network sent by the wireless network sharer client; and

the server comparing the second identifier with the third identifier, allowing successful authentication when the two identifiers are consistent, and registering information about the devices of the wireless network.

7. The method according to claim 5, further comprising:

the server receiving push information sent by the wireless network sharer client, and receiving the following notification;

the server sending the push information to a third-party terminal upon reception of a message indicating successful access of the third-party terminal to the wireless network.

8. The method according to claim 5, wherein the wireless network comprises any one of the following:

Bluetooth, infrared, wireless local area network, WIFI direct connection, ultra wide band communication, Zigbee, and near field communication.

9. The method according to claim 5, wherein the server generating a second identifier comprises:

the server obtaining a character sequence as the second identifier by using a hash algorithm based on the received first identifier;

or,

the server generating a random character sequence as the second identifier according to a preset rule.

10. The method according to claim 5, further comprising:

the server receiving a connection key of the selected wireless network sent by the wireless network sharer client.

6. An information pushing method, comprising:

a server receiving a first identifier of a selected wireless network sent by a wireless network sharer client and a MAC address of a corresponding wireless network device;

the server generating a second identifier and sending the same to the wireless network sharer client;

the server receiving a third identifier of the selected wireless network sent by the wireless network sharer client and a MAC address of a corresponding wireless network device; and

the server comparing the second identifier with the third identifier, comparing the MAC address of the wireless network device corresponding to the first identifier with the MAC address of the wireless network device corresponding to the third identifier, and allowing successful authentication when the comparison results are consistent.

11. An information pushing method, comprising:

a wireless network sharer client obtaining a first identifier of a wireless network selected from a wireless network list scanned/stored by a wireless network sharer terminal, and sending the same to a server;

the wireless network sharer client receiving a second identifier sent by the server; and

the wireless network sharer client obtaining a wireless network list updated by a wireless network sharer mobile terminal and sending a third identifier of the selected wireless network in the list to the server.

13. The method according to claim 11, further comprising:

the wireless network sharer client receiving the following configuration;

sending push information to a third-party terminal upon reception of a message indicating successful access of the third-party terminal to the wireless network,

or,

the wireless network sharer client sending push information to the server, and notifying the server to send the push information to a third-party terminal upon reception of a message indicating successful access of the third-party terminal to the wireless network.

12. An information pushing method, comprising:

a wireless network sharer client obtaining a first identifier of a wireless network selected from a wireless network list scanned/stored by a wireless network sharer terminal and a MAC address of a corresponding wireless network device, and sending the same to a server;

the wireless network sharer client receiving a second identifier sent by the server and a MAC address of a corresponding wireless network device; and

the wireless network sharer client obtaining a wireless network list updated by a wireless network sharer mobile terminal and sending a third identifier of the selected wireless network in the list and a MAC address of a corresponding wireless network device to the server.
