Embodiment 1

[0028] figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of an application of a multi-AP connection management method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Such as figure 1 As shown, there are multiple application programs APP1, APP2, APP3, . Each application program needs to use a specific AP network configuration policy to perform a corresponding connection. Such as figure 1 As shown, the present invention adds a connection management device to inquire about the AP network configuration corresponding to the application program and perform corresponding network connection.

[0029] figure 2 It is a flowchart of a multi-AP connection management method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Such as figure 2 As shown, this embodiment includes:

[0030] Step S102: Connect to multiple APs, and obtain network configuration information corresponding to each AP;

[0031] Step S104: receiving the connection request of the application program, and obtaining the ...

Embodiment 2

[0039] In the actual network environment, there will be situations where the application program does not have a corresponding AP network configuration or the application program connection fails. Therefore, this embodiment proposes two solutions for the completeness of the technical solution on the basis of the first embodiment :

[0040] Solution 1: Sort the network configuration information of each AP according to the preset rules; when the application program has no corresponding AP network configuration or the application program connection fails, according to the sorting result, each AP network configuration is used to connect the application program one by one until The connection is successful; after the connection is successful, the corresponding relationship between the connection information of the storage application and the AP network configuration of the successful connection is stored. The preset rules may be in accordance with the frequency of use of the AP net...

Embodiment 3

[0057] This embodiment will describe the present invention in conjunction with specific services and equipment.

[0058] On the user's mobile phone, there are three applications: MMS, web browsing, and mail sending and receiving; according to the user's own situation, the three applications correspond to three different APNs: cmwap, cmnet and cmmail. The corresponding AP network configurations are cmwap config, cmnet config, and cmmail config. At this time, the default network configuration of the terminal is generally the cmnet config corresponding to web browsing.

[0059] When the user receives a multimedia message while browsing the web, the connection management device directly judges according to the name of the application program that this service should adopt the network configuration of cmwap; the application program receiving the multimedia message will use cmwap config to perform DNS resolution and routing, Connect to access point cmwap to download MMS.

Abstract

The invention discloses a method and a device for connecting and managing multiple APs (access points). The method comprises the following steps: connecting a plurality of APs, and acquiring network configuration information corresponding to each AP; receiving an access request of an application program, and acquiring the connection information of the application program; inquiring AP network configuration matched with the connection information according to the mapping relationship between the preset connection information and AP or the AP network configuration; and connecting the application program to the corresponding AP according to the matched AP network configuration. In the embodiment of the invention, the mapping relationship between the connection information and the AP network configuration is prestored in the system; after receiving the access request of the application program, the connection information of the application program is acquired; the matched AP network configuration is inquired according to the mapping information; and the application program is connected to the corresponding AP according to the AP network configuration, so that the connection requirement of the user terminal application program is more convenient to realize under the condition of the plurality of APs.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of data services in the communication industry, in particular to a method and device for multi-AP connection management. Background technique [0002] At present, mobile terminals can realize concurrent connections of multiple access points (AP for short, corresponding to different service types), and obtain multiple different AP network configurations at the same time, including different source IP addresses, gateways, and corresponding DNS addresses. , to perform concurrent data services. Different applications need to send IP data packets to different service platforms through different APs, but at this time the operating system cannot correctly determine which AP network configuration should be used for the connection request initiated. [0003] However, in the process of implementing the present invention, the inventor found that the multi-AP connection management method in the prior art has the following defect...
