1. A method for guiding a smart device to couple to a wireless network, wherein the method comprises:
sending, by the smart device, a device identifier (ID) and a cloud service address that are of the smart device to a control terminal;
receiving, by the control terminal, the device ID and the cloud service address from the smart device;
sending, by the control terminal based on the device ID, a network configuration information obtaining request to a cloud server corresponding to the cloud service address, wherein the information obtaining request requests network configuration information for the smart device to couple to the wireless network;
sending, by the cloud server in response to the network configuration information obtaining request, the network configuration information to the control terminal;
receiving, by the control terminal, the network configuration information;
determining, by the control terminal based on the network configuration information, a management application of the smart device; and
sending, by the control terminal, the network configuration information to the management application to guide the smart device to couple to the wireless network.
