Device binding method and apparatus

The invention provides device binding methods and apparatuses, and belongs to the technical field of wireless communication. The method comprises the steps that an intelligent device is connected to an access point according to connection information of the access point and then acquires a device identifier of the intelligent device and a user identifier of a device owner and sends the device identifier and the user identifier to a server; after receiving the device identifier and the user identifier, the server determines, according to a pre-configured temporary binding relationship, whether the device identifier and the user identifier have a temporary binding relationship; and if the device identifier and the user identifier have the temporary binding relationship, the device identifier and the user identifier are bound, and the temporary binding relationship is configured after the server detects an assigned operation on a device transaction page. The server can directly bind the device identifier with the user identifier according to the pre-configured temporary binding relationship of the device identifier and the user identifier, and a user does not need to carry out other operations on a terminal or the intelligent device, so that binding steps are easy.
