Method, device for automatically selecting networks based on charging standard, server and terminal

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention provides a method and device for automatically selecting networks based on a charging standard, a server and a terminal. The method comprises following steps: obtaining at least one kind of available network access modes of the terminal; obtaining information on traffic charges of the terminal of a user; obtaining estimated access time and estimated access traffic of the terminal of the user; and determining an internet selection strategy of the terminal based on at least one kind of available network access modes, traffic charges of the terminal of the user, estimated access time and estimated access traffic of the terminal of the user. The embodiment of the invention provided by the method, device for automatically selecting networks based on the charging standard, the server and the terminal helps effectively control access cost, improve experience of the user.

Description

technical field [0001] The embodiments of the present invention relate to the technical field of communication, and more specifically, relate to a method, device, server and terminal for automatically selecting a network according to tariff standards. Background technique [0002] Existing mobile terminals usually use multiple access methods such as mobile communication networks (2G / 3G / 4G) or wireless local area networks (WLAN) to access the Internet. [0003] For example, when a user has a free WLAN at home, he usually uses the free WLAN to surf the Internet. When the user is in an area covered by a paid WLAN signal, he can use the paid WLAN to surf the Internet, or use mobile data to surf the Internet. [0004] Common charging methods for Internet access include: charging by time, charging by flow, and charging according to the difference of the visiting destination. For network services such as instant messaging, it needs to be kept online, but generates less traffic. If...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

For network services such as instant messaging, it needs to be kept online, but the traffic generated is less. If the connection charged by time is used, the user cost may be too high

For services that generate a lot of traffic, such as video, if you use a connection that is charged by traffic, it may cause excessive user costs

[0005] In order to save costs, it is very inconvenient for users to manually switch between various networks

If you forget to switch, for example, you are downloading movies or browsing the web while using free WLAN at home, and forget to turn off mobile data when you leave, it may consume a lot of mobile data traffic

[0006] The above-mentioned mobile terminals often require users to manually switch networks in the process of using services, which cannot effectively control the user's Internet access cost and reduces user experience.
