If the requirement of the user on the sequencing accuracy of all the wireless access points is considered, the equipment terminal can be selected to sequence all the wireless access points according to the graphic mark of at least one wireless access point in all the wireless access points and even in combination with the connection related information of each wireless access point; in consideration of factors such as saving of memory resource occupation of the user equipment, the network equipment may select to sort all the wireless access points according to the graphic mark of at least one of all the wireless access points, even in combination with the connection related information of each wireless access point, and the above two cases may both realize the sorting of the wireless access points in the embodiment of the present application, and the following two cases are respectively described in detail.

Case one, the ranking step of ranking all wireless access points in the vicinity of the user equipment is performed by the user equipment to ensure the accuracy of the ranking.

As shown in fig. 1, a method for ranking wireless access points according to an aspect of the present application is applied to a user equipment side in a process of ranking all wireless access points near the user equipment, and the method includes:

step S11, the user equipment acquires all wireless access points near the user equipment; here, all the wireless access points in the vicinity of the user equipment are used to indicate all the wireless access points in the vicinity that can be scanned by the user equipment.

Step S12, in response to the detected preset trigger operation, the user equipment sends a first query request to a network device, wherein the first query request includes identifiers of all the wireless access points, so that the network device locally searches whether the wireless access point corresponding to the identifier has a graphic mark; for example, when a user to which the user equipment side belongs needs to query the correlation ranks of all wireless access points in the vicinity of the user equipment, the user equipment may perform a predetermined trigger operation, and after the user equipment detects the predetermined trigger operation, the user equipment may send a first query request to the network equipment, where the first query request is used to instruct the user equipment to request, from the network equipment, whether each wireless access point in all wireless access points in the vicinity of the user equipment has a graphic mark, so that after receiving the first query request, the network equipment locally searches whether the wireless access point corresponding to the identifier has the graphic mark, and implements a response to the first query request sent by the user equipment.

Here, the predetermined triggering operation may include any operation for triggering the user equipment to send, to the network equipment side, a first query request for requesting whether each of all wireless access points in the vicinity of the user equipment has a graphic mark. In embodiments of the present application, the predetermined trigger operation may include, but is not limited to, any of:

1) triggering the operation of the preset key.

For example, a one-touch query button displayed on an interface of the user device for directly triggering the transmission of the first query request to the network device, or a start button for the user device to open an application that displays all wireless access points in the vicinity of the user device. The operation of triggering the predetermined key may be a triggering operation (for example, a single click, a double click, a long press, or the like) performed by the user selecting the predetermined key.

2) And sliding the interfaces of all the acquired wireless access points on the user equipment according to the preset movement track.

For example, through data output by a sensor in the user equipment, such as an acceleration sensor, a gravity sensor, or the like, it may be determined whether a user performs an operation on list pages of all wireless access points currently displayed on the user equipment to meet an interface of the sliding user equipment of a preset movement trajectory, and then the user equipment is triggered to send a first query request for requesting to query whether all wireless access points near the user equipment have a graphical mark to the network device. In this embodiment, the predetermined motion rule may be used to detect whether the sliding of the user on the list pages of all the wireless access points of the user equipment conforms to a plurality of preset moving trajectories, such as whether the user slides the list pages left or right, whether the user equipment is flicked back and forth on the list pages, whether the list pages are pulled up or down, and the like.

3) And triggering an interface which is used for indicating switching to the user equipment and is used for displaying all the acquired wireless access points.

For example, when a user switches from an interface of a page or a desktop of another application of the user equipment to a switching operation of an interface on the user equipment for displaying all wireless access points, or jumps from a background hidden interface for displaying all wireless access points to a foreground display interface, the user equipment may be triggered to send a first query request for requesting to query whether all wireless access points near the user equipment have a graphical marker to the network equipment.

Through the three predetermined triggering operations, the user equipment can be triggered to send a first query request for requesting to query whether all the wireless access points near the user equipment have the graphic marks to the network equipment, so that the query of the graphic marks of all the wireless access points near the user equipment is achieved through the predetermined triggering operation of the user equipment, and the use convenience of a user is further improved.

The graphic mark of the wireless access point stored in the network device side may be a graphic having a geometric shape (e.g., a triangle, a diamond, etc.), a graphic having a similarity to an object shape (e.g., a key shape, a lock shape, a basketball shape, etc.), or a graphic having a non-geometric shape (e.g., a link shape, a bow-shaped curve shape, a zigzag shape, etc.).

Step S13, the user equipment receiving the graphic mark of at least one of all the wireless access points from the network equipment; here, not every wireless access point in the network device has a graphic mark, after the network device obtains the first query request sent by the user device, it will locally search whether the wireless access point corresponding to each identifier has a graphic mark, and the network device will send the graphic mark of at least one found wireless access point in all the wireless access points to the user device, so that the user device can sort all the wireless access points.

Step S14, the user equipment ranks all the wireless access points according to the graphic marks of the at least one wireless access point, so as to rank all the wireless access points near the user equipment.

Through the steps S11 to S14, all the wireless access points that can be scanned by the user equipment are sorted, so that the user can more conveniently and quickly select one wireless access point from all the wireless access points that are displayed in sequence by the user equipment, which not only reduces data traffic and time consumption caused by the connection process of the user on the user equipment that the user continuously attempts to connect to the wireless access points, but also improves the user experience in networking.

The method for ordering wireless access points provided in an embodiment of the present application further includes:

the user equipment acquires the connection related information of each wireless access point in all the wireless access points; here, the connection related information of the wireless access point is used to reflect all information related to the wireless connection of the wireless access point during the wireless connection, for example, the connection related information of the wireless access point may include, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: the historical connection success rate, the current connection signal strength, whether the history is successfully connected with the user equipment through access information (such as a password or a token) or not, a connection type mark for prompting the type of the wireless access point (such as a cooperative wireless access point cooperating with an application platform for displaying all the wireless access points or a alliance wireless access point having an alliance relationship with the application platform for displaying all the wireless access points or the like), whether the wireless access point is protected by encryption or not, and the like.

After the user equipment acquires the connection related information of each wireless access point in all the wireless access points, the user equipment sorts all the wireless access points according to the graphic marks of at least one wireless access point, and the method comprises the following steps:

the user equipment sequences all the wireless access points according to the connection related information of all the wireless access points and the graphic marks of at least one wireless access point, so that the change of the signal strength of the wireless access points caused by the movement of the user equipment in the process that the user equipment requests the network equipment for whether all the wireless access points in all the wireless access points have the graphic marks is avoided, the consideration of comprehensive sequencing of all the wireless access points in all the wireless access points is also carried out according to the connection related information of all the wireless access points and the graphic marks of at least one wireless access point, and the sequencing accuracy of all the wireless access points near the user equipment is further ensured.

The user equipment ranks the all wireless access points according to the graphic marks of the at least one wireless access point, and the ranking comprises the following steps:

the user equipment ranks the at least one wireless access point before other wireless access points of the all wireless access points except the at least one wireless access point.

For example, when the user equipment sorts all the wireless access points according to the graphic marks of at least one wireless access point in all the wireless access points, the graphic marks of all the wireless access points are considered, and the at least one wireless access point with the graphic marks is arranged in front of other wireless access points except the at least one wireless access point in all the wireless access points near the user equipment, so that a user belonging to a subsequent user equipment can select the wireless access point for wireless connection from the at least one wireless access point with the graphic marks displayed in front, the user can conveniently and quickly select the wireless access point for wireless connection through the graphic marks, and the connection success rate of the wireless access point selected by the user is improved.

As another example, when the user device ranks all wireless access points according to the graphical indicia of at least one of the wireless access points, and further sorting all the wireless access points by combining the connection related information of each wireless access point in all the wireless access points, further considering the connection related information of each wireless access point which is stored by the user equipment historically and/or is acquired currently, so that the sorting of all the wireless access points is more accurate, while also making the ordering of at least one wireless access point with a graphical mark before the other of said all wireless access points more accurate and efficient, so that the user can, in combination with the connection-related information and the graphical marking, select a wireless access point from which a wireless connection is easier to be achieved, therefore, the attempt of wireless connection of the user is reduced, and the success rate of establishing the wireless connection between the wireless access point selected by the user and the user equipment is improved.

In this embodiment, when the user equipment does not have a wireless network, the user equipment may sort all wireless access points near the user according to the locally acquired connection related information of each wireless access point, so as to ensure the sorting of all wireless access points near the user equipment under the condition of no network, and also facilitate the user to select and try out a wireless access point capable of performing wireless connection as soon as possible according to a sorting result under the condition of no network, thereby improving user experience.

In a method for ordering wireless access points provided in an embodiment of the present application, the method further includes: and the user equipment displays all the wireless access points to the user according to the sequencing result. For example, when the user equipment sorts all the N wireless access points according to the graphic marks of the respective wireless access points of the M wireless access points having the graphic marks, the obtained sorting result is: in order to facilitate the selection of all the wireless access points by a user to which the user equipment belongs, the user equipment displays all the N wireless access points to the user according to the sequencing result of the N wireless access points so that the user can select the wireless access point (such as the selected wireless access point 4) from the wireless access points which are sequenced at the front in the sequence displayed by the user, and tries to perform wireless connection with the selected wireless access point 4; because the graphic marks of the wireless access points and the connection related information of the wireless access points are comprehensively considered by the wireless access points in the front sequence, the connection power of the wireless connection between the user equipment and the selected wireless access point 4 is relatively higher than the success rate of the wireless connection between the user equipment and other wireless access points in the back sequence, so that all the wireless access points are displayed to the user according to the sequencing result, the frequency of the subsequent user for selecting the wireless access points from all the wireless access points to perform the wireless connection is reduced, the time consumption is reduced, and the success rate of the wireless connection between the wireless access points selected by the user and the user equipment is improved.

Next, in the foregoing embodiment of the present application, the displaying, by the user equipment, all the wireless access points to the user according to the sorting result includes:

and the user equipment displays all the wireless access points and the related information thereof to the user according to the sequencing result. Here, the related information of the wireless access point is used to indicate information that the user can intuitively obtain from the user equipment when displaying the wireless access point, for example, the related information may include, but is not limited to, at least any one of the following: the wireless access point identification method comprises the steps of graphic marks of the wireless access points, marks of cooperative or alliance wireless access points, marks of whether historical connection is successful or not, information of merchants to which the wireless access points belong, current signal strength and the like.

In order to facilitate a user to combine the information of the position of the user, the information of a merchant, the signal strength of a wireless access point and the like, the user equipment displays all the wireless access points to the user according to the sequencing result, simultaneously displays all the wireless accesses and the corresponding related information to the user correspondingly, so that the user can combine the sequencing of all the wireless access points and the corresponding related information visually displayed to the user by the user equipment, and can quickly select a proper wireless access point from all the sequentially displayed wireless access points, so that the user equipment corresponding to the user establishes wireless connection with the selected wireless access point, the data flow and time consumption caused by the connection process that the user continuously tries to connect the wireless access points on the user equipment are reduced, and the user networking experience is improved.

In a method for ordering wireless access points provided in an embodiment of the present application, the ordering, by the user equipment, all the wireless access points according to the graphic mark of the at least one wireless access point includes: the user equipment ranks all the wireless access points based on a first preset time interval. Here, the first preset time interval may be an original time interval, which is built in the user equipment and used for sequencing all displayed wireless access points, or may be a time interval, which is set by the user equipment according to a real-time display requirement of the user (for example, when the user is in a fast moving state, a sequencing update time period of the wireless access points is required to be short, or when the user is in a staying state, the wireless access points do not need to be updated too frequently, and the like), so as to meet a requirement of the user for reordering all the wireless access points. For example, in a preferred embodiment of the present application, if the first preset time interval is selected to be 10 seconds, the user equipment reorders all the wireless access points displayed in sequence every 10 second time interval, so that the user equipment can display all the wireless access points to the user according to the reordered sequence, thereby meeting the real-time requirement of the user on the display of all the displayed wireless access points, and further ensuring the accuracy of the ranking of all the wireless access points.

In a method for ordering wireless access points provided in an embodiment of the present application, the method further includes:

in response to detecting a new wireless access point other than the all wireless access points, the user equipment sending a second query request to the network equipment, the second query request including an identifier of the new wireless access point; here, the new wireless access point is used to indicate a newly scanned wireless access point except for all wireless access points in the vicinity of the user equipment. For example, after the user equipment displays all the wireless access points nearby in sequence, the user equipment detects new wireless access points except all the wireless access points displayed in sequence due to the movement of the user equipment, in order to reorder all the wireless access points (including the new wireless access points and the wireless access points scanned currently from all the wireless access points displayed in sequence) which can be scanned currently by the user equipment in combination with whether the new wireless access points have graphic marks, the user equipment sends a second query request to the network equipment, wherein the second query request is used for instructing the network equipment to request the network equipment whether the new wireless access points scanned by the user equipment have graphic marks or not, so that after the network equipment receives the second query request from the user equipment, the network equipment locally searches whether the new wireless access points have graphic marks or not and displays the graphic marks of the new wireless access points with graphic marks The message is sent to the user equipment, so that the user equipment requests the network equipment for inquiring whether the newly added wireless access point has the graphic mark.

The user equipment receives the graphic mark of the newly added wireless access point from the network equipment; the graphic mark of the newly added wireless access point is the same as or similar to the graphic mark of the wireless access point, and is not repeated herein.

And the user equipment reorders the newly added wireless access points and the currently scanned wireless access points in all the wireless access points according to the graphic marks of the newly added wireless access points, and the newly added wireless access points which can be scanned by the user equipment and the currently scanned wireless access points in all the wireless access points which are displayed in sequence are reordered by the user equipment, so that the accuracy of the ordering of all the wireless access points which can be scanned by the user equipment at present is further ensured.

For example, the user equipment has 10 wireless access points displayed in sequence, which are: the wireless access points 2, 6, 9, 1, 7, 4, 3, 8, 10 and 5 are moved by the user equipment, so that the signal strength between the current user equipment and all the 10 sequentially displayed wireless access points will change, and at the same time, along with the movement of the user equipment, the user equipment may scan the newly added wireless access point or lose the signal strength with one of the 10 sequentially displayed wireless access points, if the wireless access point losing a slight signal with the user equipment is the wireless access point 6 and 9 and the newly added wireless access point is the wireless access point 11 and 12 during the movement of the user equipment, the user equipment receives the signal from the network equipment, The graphic mark of the newly added wireless access point 11 with the graphic mark and the graphic mark of the newly added wireless access point 12 with the graphic mark which are found locally in the network equipment, the new wireless access points 11 and 12 and the wireless access points 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8 and 10 which can be scanned by the user equipment currently in the 10 wireless access points are reordered, so that the reordering of all the wireless access points (the wireless access points 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8 and 10 and the new wireless access points 11 and 12) which can be scanned by the user equipment currently is realized, the accuracy of the ordering of the wireless access points is ensured, and the instantaneity of the ordering of the wireless access points is also ensured.

For another example, the user equipment has 10 wireless access points displayed in sequence, which are: the wireless access points 2, 6, 9, 1, 7, 4, 3, 8, 10 and 5 are moved by the user equipment, so that the signal strength between the current user equipment and all the 10 sequentially displayed wireless access points will change, and at the same time, along with the movement of the user equipment, the user equipment may scan the newly added wireless access point or lose the signal strength with one of the 10 sequentially displayed wireless access points, if the newly added wireless access points are the wireless access point 11 and the wireless access point 12 in the moving process of the user equipment, and the user equipment is the wireless access point 12 according to the newly added wireless access point with graphic mark received from the network equipment and found locally in the network equipment, the user equipment reorders the newly added wireless access points 11 and 12 and the 10 wireless access points according to the graphic marks of the newly added wireless access point 12, thereby realizing the reordering of all the wireless access points (the wireless access points 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8 and 10 and the newly added wireless access points 11 and 12) which can be scanned by the user equipment currently, not only ensuring the accuracy of the ordering of the wireless access points, but also ensuring the instantaneity of the ordering of the wireless access points.

Following the above-described embodiments of the present application, the method further comprises:

the user equipment acquires the connection related information of the newly added wireless access point; here, the connection related information of the newly added wireless access point is the same as or similar to the connection related information of the wireless access point described above, and is not described herein again.

The user equipment reorders the newly added wireless access points and the currently scanned wireless access points in all the wireless access points according to the graphic marks of the newly added wireless access points, and the reordering comprises the following steps:

and the user equipment reorders the newly added wireless access points and the currently scanned wireless access points in all the wireless access points according to the connection related information of the newly added wireless access points and the graphic marks of the newly added wireless access points.

To further ensure the accuracy of the reordering of all wireless access points that the user device is currently able to scan, for example, while the user device receives the graphical indicia of the newly added wireless access point from the network device, all information related to wireless connection of each newly added wireless access point for indicating the newly added wireless access point in the wireless connection process is also acquired, the method and the device have the advantages that the user equipment integrates the graphic marks of the newly-added wireless access points with the graphic marks and the connection related information of each newly-added wireless access point, which are found locally in the network equipment, to reorder the newly-added wireless access points which can be scanned currently by the user equipment and the currently-scanned wireless access points in all the wireless access points which are displayed in sequence, and improve the accuracy of reordering all the wireless access points which can be scanned currently by the user equipment.

As shown in fig. 2, a method for ranking wireless access points according to another aspect of the present application is applied to a network device side in a process of ranking all wireless access points near a user device, and the method includes:

step S21, the network device receives a first query request from the user device, where the first query request includes identifiers of all wireless access points in the vicinity of the user device; here, the first query request is used to instruct the user equipment to request from the network device whether each of all wireless access points in the vicinity of the user equipment has a graphical marker. For example, when a user belonging to the user equipment needs to query the relevant ranks of all wireless access points in the vicinity of the user equipment, the user may perform a predetermined trigger operation, and when the user equipment detects the predetermined trigger operation, the user equipment may request, from the network equipment, whether each of the all wireless access points in the vicinity of the user equipment has a graphic mark.

Step S22, after the network device receives the first query request sent by the user device in step S21, requesting whether each access point in all wireless access points near the user device has a graphic mark, the network device locally searches whether the wireless access point corresponding to the identifier has a graphic mark and obtains the graphic mark of at least one wireless access point in all wireless access points;

step S23, the network device sends the graphic mark of the at least one wireless access point to the user device, so that the user device sorts all the wireless access points based on the graphic mark of the at least one wireless access point, thereby implementing the sorting of all the wireless access points near the user device.

Through the above steps S21 to S23, it is realized that the graphical mark of at least one of all wireless access points in the vicinity of the user equipment is returned to the user equipment by the network equipment, so that the user equipment sorts all the wireless access points according to the graphical mark of at least one wireless access point received from the network equipment, thereby achieving the purpose of sorting all the wireless access points in the vicinity of the user equipment by the interaction between the network equipment and the user equipment.

the network equipment receives a second inquiry request from the user equipment, wherein the second inquiry request comprises identifiers of the newly added wireless access points except all the wireless access points; here, the new wireless access point is used to indicate a newly scanned wireless access point except for all wireless access points in the vicinity of the user equipment. For example, after the user equipment displays all the wireless access points in the vicinity of the user equipment in sequence, the user equipment detects a new wireless access point except for all the wireless access points displayed in sequence due to the movement of the user equipment, and in order to reorder all the wireless access points (including the new wireless access point and the currently scanned wireless access point among all the wireless access points displayed in sequence) which can be currently scanned by the user equipment in combination with whether the new wireless access point has a graphic mark, the user equipment requests the network equipment to inquire whether the new wireless access point has the graphic mark, so that the network equipment receives the second inquiry request sent by the user equipment.

The network equipment locally searches whether the newly-added wireless access point has the graphic mark or not, and sends the searched graphic mark of the newly-added wireless access point to the user equipment, so that the user equipment reorders the newly-added wireless access point and the currently-scanned wireless access points in all the wireless access points based on the graphic mark of the newly-added wireless access point, and the new-added wireless access point which can be currently scanned by the user equipment and the currently-scanned wireless access points in all the wireless access points which are sequentially displayed are reordered through interaction between the user equipment and the network equipment, thereby further ensuring the accuracy of the ordering of all the wireless access points which can be currently scanned by the user equipment.

In a practical application scenario of the ranking method for wireless access points provided in the embodiments of the present application, when the user a enters an actual location scenario P, if the user a needs to know the correlation ranking of all the wireless access points in the vicinity of the user equipment (for example, 10 wireless access points in the vicinity of the user equipment, respectively, wireless access point 1, wireless access point 2, … …, and wireless access point 10) so as to quickly decide which wireless access point to select for wireless connection attempt or in what order to select for wireless connection attempt, user a may perform a predetermined triggering operation (e.g., open an application that may display all wireless access points, trigger a predetermined key, such as a one-touch query key, and switch foreground from background that may display applications for all wireless access points, etc.) to trigger the start of the process of ranking all 10 wireless access points. If the user a triggers the "one-key query key" at this time, after the user equipment detects the triggering operation of the "one-key query key", the user equipment sends a first query request for querying whether each wireless access point of all wireless access points near the user equipment has a graphic mark to the network equipment. Of course, in order to facilitate the network device to distinguish the wireless access points, the first query request includes identifiers of the wireless access points in the 10 wireless access points, so that the network device can locally search, based on the identifiers, whether the wireless access point corresponding to each identifier has a key mark.

After receiving a first query request for querying whether each wireless access point in 10 wireless access points near the user equipment has a key mark from the user equipment, the network equipment locally searches whether the wireless access point corresponding to each identifier has the key mark according to the identifier of each wireless access point, and if the wireless access points which are locally searched by the network equipment and have the key mark are the wireless access point 2, the wireless access point 6 and the wireless access point 9, the network equipment acquires the key marks of the three wireless access points (the wireless access point 2, the wireless access point 6 and the wireless access point 9) and sends the key marks to the user equipment, so that the network equipment can search whether the 10 wireless access points near the user equipment have the key marks.

After the user equipment receives the graphic marks of the wireless access point 2, the wireless access point 6 and the wireless access point 9 of the 10 wireless access points from the network equipment, the user equipment sorts all the 10 wireless access points near the user equipment according to the graphic marks of the three wireless access points (the wireless access point 2, the wireless access point 6 and the wireless access point 9), and the obtained sorting result is: the wireless access points 2, 6, 9, 1, 7, 4, 3, 8, 10 and 5 realize the sequencing of 10 wireless access points near the user equipment through the interaction between the user equipment and the network equipment.

When the user equipment sorts 10 wireless access points, the sorting result of the 10 wireless access points is displayed to the user A, therefore, the user A can more conveniently and quickly select one wireless access point from 10 wireless access points (the wireless access point 2, the wireless access point 6, the wireless access point 9, the wireless access point 1, the wireless access point 7, the wireless access point 4, the wireless access point 3, the wireless access point 8, the wireless access point 10 and the wireless access point 5) displayed on the user equipment in sequence to perform wireless connection attempt or sequentially perform wireless connection attempt according to the sequencing result, the data flow and time consumption caused by the connection process that the user continuously attempts to connect the wireless access points on the user equipment are reduced, the sequence tendency when the user is recommended to perform the selection of the wireless access points is provided, and the user networking experience is improved.

And in the second case, the sequencing step of sequencing all the wireless access points near the user equipment is executed by the network equipment, so that the occupation of the memory resource of the user equipment is saved.

As shown in fig. 3, a method for ranking radio access points according to another aspect of the present application is applied to a user equipment side in a process of ranking all radio access points in the vicinity of the user equipment, and the method includes:

step S31, the user equipment acquires all wireless access points near the user equipment; here, all the wireless access points in the vicinity of the user equipment are used to indicate all the wireless access points in the vicinity that can be scanned by the user equipment.

Step S32, in response to the detected predetermined trigger operation, the user equipment sends a third query request to the network equipment, where the third query request includes identifiers of all the wireless access points, so that the network equipment locally searches whether the wireless access point corresponding to the identifier has a graphic mark and obtains the graphic mark of at least one of the all the wireless access points, and sorts all the wireless access points according to the graphic mark of the at least one wireless access point; for example, when a user to which the user equipment side belongs needs to query the relevant ranks of all wireless access points in the vicinity of the user equipment, the user equipment may perform a predetermined trigger operation, and when the user equipment detects the predetermined trigger operation, the user equipment may send, to the network equipment, a third query request for instructing the user equipment to request, from the network equipment, whether each of all wireless access points in the vicinity of the user equipment has a graphic mark, where the third query request is the same as or similar to the first query request in case one, and is not described here again.

After receiving the third query request from the user equipment, the network equipment locally searches whether the wireless access points corresponding to the identifiers have the graphic marks or not and obtains the graphic marks of at least one of the searched wireless access points, and then sorts all the wireless access points according to the graphic marks of the at least one wireless access point and sends the sorting result to the user equipment, so that the step of sorting all the wireless access points near the user equipment on the network equipment is realized, and the occupation of memory resources for sorting all the wireless access points by the user equipment is omitted.

Step S33, the user equipment receives the sequencing result of all the wireless access points from the network device, so that the user can quickly select one wireless access point from all the wireless access points displayed in sequence by the user equipment for wireless connection, thereby reducing data traffic and time consumption caused by the connection process of the user continuously trying to connect the wireless access points on the user equipment, and improving the user experience during networking.

Through the steps S31 to S33, the network device executes and sorts all the wireless access points that can be scanned near the user device, so that the user device can directly receive the sorted results of all the wireless access points from the network device, the memory resource occupation of the user device for sorting all the wireless access points is saved, the user device can react more smoothly in the using process, and the user networking experience is improved.

In this embodiment, the predetermined trigger operation is the same as the predetermined trigger operation in case one, and is not described herein again; the graphic mark of the wireless access point is the same as the graphic mark of each wireless access point in all the wireless access points near the user equipment in the first case, and is not repeated herein.

the user equipment acquires the connection related information of each wireless access point in all the wireless access points; here, the connection related information of the wireless access point is used to reflect all information related to wireless connection of the wireless access point in the wireless connection process, and the connection related information of the wireless access point is the same as the connection related information of the wireless access point in the first case, and is not described herein again.

Wherein the third query request further includes connection-related information of each of the all wireless access points, so that the user equipment simultaneously transmits the identifiers of all wireless access points in its vicinity to the network device, the connection related information of each of all the wireless access points is also transmitted to the network device, such that the network device locally looks up whether the wireless access points corresponding to the respective identifiers have a graphical indicia and obtains the graphical indicia of at least one wireless access point having a graphical indicia, and the network equipment comprehensively considers the connection related information of each wireless access point in all the wireless access points and the graphic mark of at least one wireless access point to sequence all the wireless access points, thereby further ensuring the sequencing accuracy of all the wireless access points near the user equipment.

In the above embodiment of the present application, the displaying, by the user equipment, the all wireless access points to the user according to the sorting result includes:

and the user equipment displays all the wireless access points and the related information thereof to the user according to the sequencing result. Here, the related information of the wireless access point is used to indicate information that a user can intuitively obtain when the user equipment displays the wireless access point, and the related information of the wireless access point is the same as the related information of the wireless access point in the first case, and is not described herein again.

In order to facilitate the selection of the wireless access point by the user by combining the information of the position of the user, the information of the merchant, the signal strength and the like away from the wireless access point, the user equipment displays all the wireless access points to the user according to the sequencing result, each wireless access and the corresponding related information thereof are correspondingly displayed to the user, so that the user can combine the sequence of each wireless access point intuitively displayed to the user by the user equipment and the corresponding related information, quickly select the proper wireless access point from all the sequentially displayed wireless access points, therefore, the user equipment establishes wireless connection with the selected wireless access point, data flow and time consumption caused by the connection process that the user continuously tries to connect the wireless access point on the user equipment are reduced, and user networking experience is improved.

in response to the detected new wireless access points except for all the wireless access points, the user equipment sends a fourth query request to the network equipment, wherein the fourth query request comprises the identifiers of the new wireless access points, so that the network equipment locally searches the graphic marks of the new wireless access points, and reorders the new wireless access points and the currently scanned wireless access points in all the wireless access points according to the graphic marks of the new wireless access points; here, the new wireless access point is used to indicate a newly scanned wireless access point except for all wireless access points in the vicinity of the user equipment. For example, after the user equipment displays all the wireless access points nearby in sequence, the user equipment detects new wireless access points except all the wireless access points displayed in sequence due to the movement of the user equipment, in order to reorder all the wireless access points (including the new wireless access points and the wireless access points scanned currently from all the wireless access points displayed in sequence) which can be scanned currently by the user equipment according to whether the new wireless access points have graphic marks, the user equipment requests the network equipment whether the new wireless access points scanned by the user equipment have the graphic marks, so that after the network equipment receives a fourth query request from the user equipment, the network equipment locally searches whether the new wireless access points corresponding to the identifiers have the graphic marks, and performs graphic mark processing on the new wireless access points and the current wireless access points in all the new wireless access points according to the graphic marks of the new wireless access points The scanned wireless access points are reordered, and the reordering result is sent to the user equipment, so that the newly-added wireless access points currently scanned by the user equipment and the wireless access points which can be currently scanned in all the wireless access points displayed in sequence are reordered through the network equipment, and the accuracy of the ordering of the wireless access points which can be scanned nearby the user equipment is further ensured.

For example, when a user of the user equipment needs to query the relevant ranks of all wireless access points in the vicinity of the user equipment, the user may perform a predetermined trigger operation, and after the user equipment detects the predetermined trigger operation, the user equipment may request, from the network equipment, whether each of all wireless access points in the vicinity of the user equipment has a graphic mark, so that the network equipment receives, from the user equipment, a third query request for querying whether each of all wireless access points in the vicinity of the user equipment has a graphic mark.

Step S42, the network device locally searches whether the wireless access point corresponding to the identifier has a graphic mark and obtains the graphic mark of at least one wireless access point in all the wireless access points;

step S43, the network device sorts all the wireless access points according to the graphic marks of the at least one wireless access point and sends the sorting results to the user device, so that the user device receives the sorting results of all the wireless access points from the network device, thereby implementing the step of sorting all the wireless access points near the user device by the network device, and saving the memory resource occupied by the user device for sorting all the wireless access points; meanwhile, the user equipment receives the sequencing results of all the wireless access points nearby the user equipment from the network equipment, so that the user can more conveniently and quickly select one wireless access point from all the wireless access points displayed by the user equipment in sequence, and the user equipment establishes wireless connection with the selected wireless access point, thereby not only reducing data flow and time consumption caused by the connection process of continuously trying to connect the wireless access points on the user equipment by the user, but also improving the user networking experience.

Next to the foregoing embodiment of the present application, the third query request further includes connection-related information of each wireless access point in all the wireless access points, where the connection-related information of the wireless access point is used to reflect all information related to wireless connection of the wireless access point in a wireless connection process, and the connection-related information of the wireless access point is the same as the connection-related information of the wireless access point in case one, and is not described herein again.

The network device ranks the wireless access points according to the graphical indicia of the at least one wireless access point, including:

the network equipment sequences all the wireless access points according to the connection related information of each wireless access point in all the wireless access points and the graphic mark of at least one wireless access point, realizes that the connection related information of each wireless access point in all the wireless access points and the graphic mark of at least one wireless access point are combined on the network equipment to comprehensively sequence all the wireless access points near the user equipment, achieves the aim of performing the step of sequencing all the wireless access points near the user equipment on the network equipment, further ensures the accuracy of sequencing all the wireless access points near the user equipment, thereby improving the accuracy of directly receiving the sequencing result of sequencing all the wireless access points from the network equipment by the user equipment so that the user can quickly select the wireless access points from all the wireless access points displayed in sequence, and the user equipment establishes wireless connection with the selected wireless access point, so that the occupation of memory resources for sequencing all the wireless access points by the user equipment is saved, the user can conveniently and quickly select the wireless access point for performing wireless connection, and the user networking experience is further improved.

Following the foregoing embodiment of the present application, the network device sorts the all wireless access points according to the graphic marks of the at least one wireless access point, including:

Here, the sorting method in which the network device ranks the at least one wireless access point before the other wireless access points in all the wireless access points is consistent with the sorting method in which the user device ranks the at least one wireless access point before the other wireless access points in all the wireless access points in case one, and details are not repeated here.

In a method for ordering wireless access points provided in an embodiment of the present application, the method further includes: the network device ranks the wireless access points according to the graphical indicia of the at least one wireless access point, including:

the network device ranks the all wireless access points based on a second preset time interval. Here, the second predetermined time interval is the same as a predetermined time interval in case one, and is not described herein again. For example, in a preferred embodiment of the present application, if the second preset time interval is selected to be 10 seconds, all wireless access points corresponding to identifiers sent to the network device by the user device are reordered on the network device every 10 second time interval, and a reordering result is sent to the network device, so that the user device can display all currently scanned wireless access points to the user according to a reordered sequence, thereby meeting a real-time requirement of the user on display of all displayed wireless access points, and further ensuring accuracy of ranking of all wireless access points.

the network device receives a fourth query request from the user equipment, where the fourth query request includes the identifier of the newly added wireless access point, and here, the fourth query request is the same as the second query request in case one, and details are not repeated here.

The network equipment searches the graphic mark of the newly added wireless access point locally;

and the network equipment reorders the newly added wireless access points and the currently scanned wireless access points in all the wireless access points according to the graphic marks of the newly added wireless access points and sends the result of the reordering to the user equipment.

For example, after the user equipment displays all the wireless access points in the vicinity thereof in sequence, the user equipment detects a new wireless access point except for all the wireless access points displayed in sequence due to the movement of the user equipment, in order to facilitate the network device to reorder all the wireless access points that the user device can currently scan (including the new wireless access point and the currently scanned wireless access point of all the wireless access points displayed in sequence) in combination with whether the new wireless access point has a graphic mark, the user device will send the identifier of the new wireless access point to the network device, so that after receiving the identifier of the newly added wireless access point from the user equipment, the network equipment locally searches whether the newly-added wireless access point has the graphic mark or not and obtains the graphic mark of the newly-added wireless access point with the graphic mark; and then, the network equipment rearranges the newly added wireless access points near the user equipment and the currently scanned wireless access points in all the sequentially displayed wireless access points by combining the graphic marks of the newly added wireless access points and sends the rearrangement result to the user equipment, so that the steps of performing the arrangement on the newly added wireless access points near the user equipment and the currently scanned wireless access points in all the sequentially displayed wireless access points at the network equipment end are realized, the accuracy of the arrangement of all the wireless access points which can be currently scanned by the user equipment by the network equipment is ensured, the arrangement of the wireless access points which can be currently scanned by the user equipment is also avoided, and the occupation of memory resources for arranging all the wireless access points by the user equipment is further saved.

Following the above-described embodiments of the present application, the fourth query request further includes connection-related information of the newly-added wireless access point,

the network device reorders the newly added wireless access points and the currently scanned wireless access points in all the wireless access points according to the graphic marks of the newly added wireless access points, and the reordering comprises the following steps:

and the network equipment reorders the newly added wireless access points and the currently scanned wireless access points in all the wireless access points according to the graphic marks of the newly added wireless access points and the connection related information of the newly added wireless access points.

For example, in order to further ensure the accuracy of reordering all the wireless access points that can be currently scanned by the user equipment, the user equipment sends the table identifier of the newly added wireless access point to the network equipment, and also sends the connection related information of each newly added wireless access point, which is used for indicating the newly added wireless access point in the wireless connection process, to the network equipment, so that the network equipment reorders the newly added wireless access points that can be currently scanned by the user equipment and the currently scanned wireless access points among all the wireless access points that are sequentially displayed, in combination with the locally found graphic identifier of the newly added wireless access point with the graphic identifier and the connection related information of each newly added wireless access point, and the accuracy of reordering all the wireless access points that can be currently scanned by the user equipment by the network equipment is improved.

In a practical application scenario of the ranking method for wireless access points provided in the embodiments of the present application, when the user a enters an actual location scenario P, if the user a needs to know the correlation ranking of all the wireless access points in the vicinity of the user equipment (for example, 10 wireless access points in the vicinity of the user equipment, respectively, wireless access point 1, wireless access point 2, … …, and wireless access point 10) so as to quickly decide which wireless access point to select for wireless connection attempt or in what order to select for wireless connection attempt, user a may perform a predetermined triggering operation (e.g., open an application that may display all wireless access points, trigger a predetermined key, such as a one-touch query key, and switch foreground from background that may display applications for all wireless access points, etc.) to trigger the start of the process of ranking all 10 wireless access points. If the user a triggers the "one-key query key" at this time, after the user equipment detects the triggering operation of the "one-key query key", the user equipment sends a third query request including identifiers of wireless access points of all wireless access points in the vicinity of the user equipment to the network equipment, so that when the network equipment queries whether the wireless access points in the vicinity of the user equipment have the graphic marks, the user equipment distinguishes the wireless access points.

After the network device receives the identifier containing the identifier of each wireless access point in 10 wireless access points near the user device from the user device, the network device locally searches whether the wireless access point corresponding to each identifier has a key mark according to the identifier of each wireless access point, and if the wireless access points with the key marks, which are locally searched by the network device, are the wireless access point 2, the wireless access point 6 and the wireless access point 9, the network device obtains the key marks of the three wireless access points (the wireless access point 2, the wireless access point 6 and the wireless access point 9), so that whether the 10 wireless access points near the user device have the key marks in the network device is realized.
