Abstract

A wireless connection pairing method and a first electronic device are provided. The method includes: broadcasting, through an audio system, an acoustic signal which carries pairing information for establishing wireless connection with a first electronic device; the first electronic device receiving from a second electronic device a request for establishing wireless connection with the first electronic device through a wireless network, where the request contains the pairing information extracted from the acoustic signal; and the first electronic device sending a notice of permission to the second electronic device. By employing the method, a mobile device can use connection service conveniently without inputting a password manually.
