Multi-APN (Access Point Name) concurrency method supporting Android applications of handheld equipment and system thereof

Abstract

The invention provides a multi-APN (Access Point Name) concurrency method supporting Android applications of handheld equipment and a system thereof, and aims to provide a network connection and management scheme which can be used for providing multiple parallel APN channels for Android system applications. The method is implemented via a technical scheme comprising the following steps: adding a plurality of network type fields, network descriptors and mobile network judgment branch programs into a phone and connection manager module program; adding processing branch programs which correspond to newly-added network types into a connected functional interface program of a connection service module; adding identification constant values which correspond to the newly-added network connection types into a wireless interface layer module; adding connection/disconnection message processing programs which correspond to the newly-added networks into a network tracking module and a derived module thereof to realize a corresponding relation between a newly-added channel descriptor and an underlying data channel, tracking the connection state change of each path of newly-added network, and adding a broadcast program module for feeding messages back to the applications.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an operating system of a handheld device that is connected to a network by setting an access point name (APN) for a mobile terminal operating system, especially a handheld device system that is compatible and supports multiple APN concurrent Android applications. Background technique [0002] The original meaning of the word Android refers to "robot", and it is also the name of the open source mobile operating system based on Linux platform announced by Google on November 5, 2007. The platform consists of operating system, middleware, user interface and application software. It is the first truly open and complete mobile software built for mobile terminals. Similar to the iPhone, Android adopts the WebKit browser engine and has a touch screen, advanced graphic display and Internet access functions. Users can check e-mails, search URLs and watch video programs on the mobile phone. Powerful, it can be said that it is a single pl...

Problems solved by technology

There may be a GPRS access method to connect to the Internet, but there is no other mobile network connection at all, and when downloading QQ, there is only one access point by default, and there is no choice, so ordinary users do not have relevant professional In the absence of knowledge, it is usually impossible to automatically switch to achieve the conversion of access points for different service network options

[0004] At present, some mobile terminal products of the ANDROID system can realize the concurrent access of multiple APNs when based on some specific applications. For example, the MMS function module of the system can access an independent CMWAP access point in the background while accessing CMNET to browse the web. And perform download, but this kind of concurrent data service is only for some application modules built in the system, and cannot provide free use of applications, so for applications running on this type of product, the ANDROID system is still a single access point system, so it is still not possible to implement multi-APN access for applications
