Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for communication program association. The method includes acquiring a communication program account number in the local area network; sending a communication association request to the communication program account number in the local area network; and receiving communication association confirmation information returned by the communication program account number in the local area network, and establishing communication association with the communication program account number in the local area network. Because the established associated communication program account number does not occupy significant network bandwidth in the communication process, the network transmission speed is improved. Because communication is performed on the local network, security of communication information is ensured.
