Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention disclose a method, an apparatus, and a system for pushing information based on a wireless local area network. The method includes: generating a push information indication message, where the push information indication message includes index information of one or more pieces of push information, where the index information includes at least one of a sequence number, an information digest, a category number, and a category name of the push information; broadcasting the push information indication message; and sending the push information. With the present invention, information may be pushed on wireless local area networks that are widely used at present, such as a WiFi network. Especially, in places such as scenic spots, shopping malls, and exhibition halls, WiFi networks can be used to introduce related information to users, instead of making explanations or presentations manually.
