Claim 0:
1. A wireless network detection apparatus for detecting a non-predetermined electronic apparatus, comprising:
a storage circuit configured to store virtual wireless communication apparatus information, wherein the virtual wireless communication apparatus information let the wireless network detection apparatus be identified as a virtual wireless communication apparatus, and the virtual wireless communication apparatus is not the wireless network detection apparatus;
a wireless signal transmission circuit configured to perform communication according to at least one wireless communication protocol; and
a processing circuit electrically coupled to the storage circuit and the wireless signal transmission circuit and configured to execute a plurality of software or firmware executable commands to perform a wireless network detection method, the wireless network detection method comprising:
determining whether a wireless signal comprising non-predetermined electronic apparatus identification information is received by the wireless signal transmission circuit;
controlling the wireless signal transmission circuit to broadcast an existence signal announcing the existence of the wireless network detection apparatus according to the virtual wireless communication apparatus information when the wireless signal is received;
controlling the wireless signal transmission circuit to receive first-time pairing information that is transmitted from the non-predetermined electronic apparatus based on the existence signal, to confirm that the first-time pairing is finished performing with the non-predetermined electronic apparatus and to store the non-predetermined electronic apparatus identification information in the storage circuit;
determining whether the wireless signal transmission circuit receives a response signal or a communication signal from the non-predetermined electronic apparatus,
wherein the response signal is generated by the non-predetermined electronic apparatus in response to a connection request or a management packet actively transmitted by the wireless signal transmission circuit, and the communication signal is actively generated by the non-predetermined electronic apparatus;
identifying the non-predetermined electronic apparatus and determining that the non-predetermined electronic apparatus is within a detection range when the response signal or the communication signal is received; and
executing a predetermined function that is not related to the virtual wireless communication apparatus corresponding to the virtual wireless communication apparatus information.
