Description

Technical Field

[0001] Embodiments of the present application relate to the field of communication technologies, and in particular, to a method, an apparatus, a wireless terminal, and a storage medium for obtaining network services. Background Art

[0002] Currently, more and more wearable devices and smart home devices not only have short-range wireless communication capabilities such as Bluetooth (BT), but also have Wi-Fi connection capabilities. Using Wi-Fi transmission can complete the transmission of a large amount of data in a short time through the data transmission rate.

[0003] In an indoor scenario, a wearable device with Wi-Fi / BT capabilities can establish a BT connection with a mobile phone to transmit a small amount of local information, and at the same time establish a Wi-Fi connection with a router. The wearable device can directly obtain high-speed network services, such as transmitting large file data, network videos, and other large data volume services.

[0004] However, in an outdoor open scenario, a wearable device without cellular access capabilities can only establish a local BT connection with a master device in an environment without a direct Internet Wi-Fi access point for transmitting a small amount of data. Since the BT transmission rate is low and must be forwarded through the master device, it cannot be used for large traffic such as video calls and large file transmissions, and high-speed network services cannot be obtained. As Figure 1 shown, the slave device 1 cannot obtain high-speed network services in an outdoor scenario. For the slave device 2, although it has cellular access capabilities and can obtain high-speed network services such as video calls at any time in an outdoor scenario, its price is relatively high, the power consumption is large, and the standby time is short.

[0070] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more clear and understandable, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0071] An embodiment of the present application provides a method for obtaining network services in a first wireless terminal and a method for assisting in obtaining network services in a second wireless terminal. Among them, the first wireless terminal is a slave device, and the second wireless terminal is a master device. It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, the first wireless terminal and the second wireless terminal can be wearable devices or smart home devices, which not only have short-distance wireless communication capabilities, such as Bluetooth, near-field communication, etc., but also have Wi-Fi connection capabilities. The specific first wireless terminal and second wireless terminal are not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0072] It should be noted that the method provided by the embodiment of the present application can be applied to an outdoor scenario where the first wireless terminal is in a location without a Wi-Fi access point. Therefore, it is a scenario where a high-speed network service cannot be achieved using the Wi-Fi network.

[0073] Figure 2 Flow schematic of a method for obtaining network services in a first wireless terminal provided by an embodiment of the present application. As Figure 2 shown, in the embodiment of the present application, the method for obtaining network services in the first wireless terminal mainly includes the following steps:

[0074] S101. Receive first network switching information from the second wireless terminal through a Bluetooth link, where the first network switching information indicates that the second wireless device switches from a Wi-Fi network mode to a cellular network mode.

[0075] In the embodiment of the present application, the first wireless terminal receives first network switching information from the second wireless terminal through a Bluetooth link, and the first network switching information indicates that the second wireless terminal switches from a Wi-Fi network mode to a cellular network mode.

[0076] It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, the first wireless terminal and the second wireless terminal can be any device such as a mobile phone or a tablet computer, and the embodiments of the present application do not make any limitations.

[0077] It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, the first wireless terminal can establish a Bluetooth connection with the second wireless terminal, so as to receive the first network switching information provided by the second wireless terminal through the Bluetooth link. In addition, the first wireless terminal can also establish a connection with the second wireless terminal based on any one of other wireless communication technologies such as near field communication technology and ultra-wideband communication technology, so as to be able to transmit the network switching information through the established link, and the embodiments of the present application do not make any limitations.

[0078] S102. When the first predetermined condition is satisfied, establish a Wi-Fi direct connection with the second wireless terminal.

[0079] In the embodiments of the present application, when the first wireless terminal receives the first network switching information and the first predetermined condition is satisfied, it establishes a Wi-Fi direct connection with the second wireless terminal.

[0080] It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, when the first wireless terminal determines that the first predetermined condition is satisfied, it can establish a Wi-Fi direct connection with the second wireless terminal. The specific first predetermined condition can be set according to the actual application scenario and requirements, and the embodiments of the present disclosure do not make any limitations.

[0081] It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, the first predetermined condition includes one or more of the following: the connection rate of the Wi-Fi direct connection, the working scenario, whether it is currently connected to a Wi-Fi access point, the connection rate with the Wi-Fi access point, and the service to be executed.

[0082] Exemplarily, in the embodiments of the present application, the first wireless terminal is a smart watch. When the smart watch needs to execute a video call service and is not currently connected to a Wi-Fi access point (AP), it can be determined that the first predetermined condition is satisfied. When the smart watch only needs to push a small amount or low-speed information to the second wireless terminal, in fact, these information can be directly transmitted through the Bluetooth link, and it can be determined that the first predetermined condition is not satisfied.

[0083] It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, the first wireless terminal may also support the cellular network mode, that is, the first wireless terminal can also access the cellular network. The first predetermined condition may further include: the signal quality of the cellular network of the first wireless terminal, the signal quality of the cellular network of the second wireless terminal, etc., which are not limited in the embodiments of the present application. Among them, the second wireless terminal can not only transmit the first network switching information through the Bluetooth link established with the first wireless terminal, but also transmit network information such as the signal quality of its own cellular network.

[0084] Exemplarily, in the embodiments of the present application, when the first wireless terminal supports the cellular network, however, its signal quality may be poor and it is impossible to achieve high-speed network services. At this time, it can be determined that the first predetermined condition is satisfied. In addition, if the signal quality of the cellular network of the second wireless terminal is poor, it is actually difficult to support the network service acquisition device to achieve high-speed network services, and the first wireless terminal can determine that the first predetermined condition is not satisfied.

[0085] It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, before the first wireless terminal establishes a Wi-Fi direct connection with the second wireless terminal, the following steps may also be performed: receiving information associated with establishing a Wi-Fi direct connection from the second wireless terminal through a Bluetooth link; correspondingly, establishing a Wi-Fi direct connection between the first wireless terminal and the second wireless terminal includes: establishing a Wi-Fi direct connection with the second wireless terminal based on the information associated with establishing a Wi-Fi direct connection.

[0086] It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, the information associated with establishing a Wi-Fi direct connection may include any combination of the following: the direct Wi-Fi channel, the wireless local area network identifier (Service set identifier, Ssid), and the password, etc., so that the first wireless terminal can quickly establish a Wi-Fi direct connection with the second wireless terminal. The specific information associated with establishing a Wi-Fi direct connection is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0087] S103. Share the cellular network of the second wireless terminal through Wi-Fi direct connection.

[0088] In the embodiments of the present application, when the first wireless terminal establishes a Wi-Fi direct connection with the second wireless terminal, it can share the cellular network of the target device through the Wi-Fi direct connection, so as to obtain high-speed network services.

[0089] It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, the first wireless terminal shares the cellular network of the second wireless terminal through Wi-Fi direct connection, which may include sending the first Wi-Fi data to the second wireless terminal through Wi-Fi direct connection, and the second wireless terminal then converts the first Wi-Fi data into the first cellular data and uploads it to the cellular base station. It may also include receiving the second Wi-Fi data sent by the second wireless terminal through Wi-Fi direct connection.

[0090] Figure 3 An exemplary flowchart of Wi-Fi direct connection control provided by the embodiments of the present application Figure 1 As Figure 3 shown, the first wireless terminal may pre-establish a Bluetooth connection with the second wireless terminal, and thus receive the first network switching information and the information associated with establishing Wi-Fi direct connection from the second wireless terminal through the Bluetooth link. After that, when the first wireless terminal determines that the first predetermined condition is satisfied, it establishes a Wi-Fi direct connection with the second wireless terminal based on the information associated with establishing Wi-Fi direct connection, shares the cellular network of the second wireless terminal, and thus obtains high-speed network services. When it determines that the first predetermined condition is not satisfied, it may maintain the current Bluetooth connection with the second wireless terminal and continue to determine whether the first predetermined condition is satisfied until it determines that the first predetermined condition is satisfied and establishes a Wi-Fi direct connection with the second wireless terminal, shares the cellular network of the second wireless terminal, and obtains high-speed network services.

[0091] In the embodiments of the present application, after the first wireless terminal establishes a Wi-Fi direct connection with the second wireless terminal, it may also perform the following steps: judging whether to stop the Wi-Fi direct connection according to the second predetermined condition.

[0092] It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, the second predetermined condition includes one or more of the following: the connection rate of the Wi-Fi direct connection, the working scenario of the first wireless terminal, whether the first wireless terminal is currently connected to a Wi-Fi access point, the connection rate between the first wireless terminal and the Wi-Fi access point, and the service to be executed by the first wireless terminal.

[0093] It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, the first wireless terminal may also receive the second network switching information from the second wireless terminal through the Bluetooth link or Wi-Fi direct connection, and the second network switching information indicates that the second wireless terminal switches from the cellular network mode to the Wi-Fi network mode.

[0094] It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, the first wireless terminal may judge whether to stop the Wi-Fi direct connection according to the second predetermined condition when receiving the second network switching information from the second wireless terminal through the Bluetooth link or Wi-Fi link.

[0095] Figure 4 An exemplary terminal interaction schematic diagram provided by an embodiment of the present application. As Figure 4 shown, in the embodiment of the present application, the first wireless terminal may first receive the first network switching information sent by the second wireless terminal, so that when the first predetermined condition is satisfied, a Wi-Fi direct connection is established with the second wireless terminal. After that, when the first wireless terminal receives the second network switching information sent by the second wireless terminal, and determines to stop the Wi-Fi direct connection with the second wireless terminal, the Wi-Fi direct connection with the second wireless terminal is disconnected.

[0096] It can be understood that, in the embodiment of the present application, after the first wireless terminal establishes a Wi-Fi direct connection with the second wireless terminal, that is, obtains high-speed network services, it can determine whether to stop the Wi-Fi direct connection according to the actual scenario and application requirements. For example, after the first wireless terminal completes a service that requires high-speed network service support, it can stop the Wi-Fi direct connection with the second wireless terminal.

[0097] It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, after the first wireless terminal determines whether to stop the Wi-Fi direct connection according to the second predetermined condition, the following steps may further be executed: when it is determined to stop the Wi-Fi direct connection, disconnect the Wi-Fi direct connection and connect to a Wi-Fi access point whose signal quality meets the preset signal quality condition.

[0098] Exemplarily, in the embodiment of the present application, the first wireless terminal determines whether to stop the Wi-Fi direct connection according to the second predetermined condition, which may include: when a connectable Wi-Fi access point is scanned, obtaining the signal quality of the Wi-Fi access point; when the signal quality meets the preset signal quality condition, determining to stop the Wi-Fi direct connection. After the first wireless terminal determines to stop the Wi-Fi direct connection, it can disconnect the Wi-Fi direct connection and connect to the Wi-Fi access point.

[0099] Figure 5 A schematic flow of Wi-Fi direct connection control provided by an embodiment of the present application Figure 2 。As Figure 5As shown, in the embodiments of the present application, after the first wireless terminal receives the second network switching information, if the first wireless terminal still needs to perform high-speed network services such as video calls, it can further search for Wi-Fi access points. Thus, when the signal quality of the Wi-Fi access point is good, that is, when the preset signal quality condition is met, it is determined to stop Wi-Fi direct connection, and then the Wi-Fi direct connection is disconnected. After that, it accesses the Wi-Fi access point. Of course, if the signal quality of the Wi-Fi access point is poor, it is determined not to stop Wi-Fi direct connection and continue to maintain Wi-Fi direct connection. If the first wireless terminal does not need to perform high-speed network services such as video calls, it can directly determine to stop Wi-Fi direct connection.

[0100] The embodiments of the present application provide a method for obtaining network services in a first wireless terminal, including: receiving first network switching information from a second wireless terminal through a Bluetooth link, where the first network switching information indicates that the second wireless terminal switches from a Wi-Fi network mode to a cellular network mode; when a first predetermined condition is met, establishing a Wi-Fi direct connection with the second wireless terminal; and sharing the cellular network of the second wireless terminal through the Wi-Fi direct connection. In the method for obtaining network services in the first wireless terminal provided by the embodiments of the present application, the first wireless terminal shares the cellular network by establishing a Wi-Fi direct connection with the second wireless terminal accessing the cellular network, not only can obtain high-speed network services, but also has low power consumption.

[0101] Figure 6 It is a schematic flowchart of a method for assisting in obtaining network services in a second wireless terminal provided by the embodiments of the present application. As Figure 6 shown, in the embodiments of the present application, the method for obtaining network services applied to the second wireless terminal mainly includes the following steps:

[0102] S201. Send first network switching information to the first wireless terminal through a Bluetooth link, where the first network switching information indicates that the second wireless terminal switches from a Wi-Fi network mode to a cellular network mode.

[0103] In the embodiments of the present application, the second wireless terminal sends first network switching information to the first wireless terminal through a Bluetooth link, where the first network switching information indicates that the second wireless terminal switches from a Wi-Fi network mode to a cellular network mode.

[0104] It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, the first wireless terminal and the second wireless terminal can be any devices such as mobile phones and tablet computers, and the embodiments of the present application do not make limitations.

[0105] It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, the second wireless terminal can support Wi-Fi network mode and cellular network mode. After the second wireless terminal switches from the Wi-Fi network mode to the cellular network mode, it can send the first network switching information to the first wireless terminal through the established Bluetooth link. After receiving the first network switching information, the first wireless terminal can know that the second wireless terminal has switched from the Wi-Fi network mode to the cellular network mode.

[0106] It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, the second wireless terminal can not only provide the first network switching information to the first wireless terminal through the Bluetooth link. In addition, if the first wireless terminal and the second wireless terminal support any one of other wireless communication technologies such as near field communication technology and ultra-wideband communication technology, corresponding links can also be established based on the corresponding technologies for information transmission, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

In this way, the second wireless terminal can share the cellular network with the first wireless terminal through Wi-Fi direct connection when establishing Wi-Fi direct connection with the first wireless terminal.

[0109] It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, when the second wireless terminal switches from the Wi-Fi network mode to the cellular network mode, it can send the information associated with establishing Wi-Fi direct connection to the first wireless terminal through the Bluetooth link, such as any combination of the direct Wi-Fi channel, wireless local area network identifier, and password, for the first wireless terminal to initiate to establish Wi-Fi direct connection with the second wireless terminal.

[0110] Specifically, in the embodiments of the present application, the second wireless terminal shares the cellular network with the first wireless terminal through Wi-Fi direct connection, including: receiving the first Wi-Fi data from the first wireless terminal through Wi-Fi direct connection; performing protocol address conversion on the first Wi-Fi data to obtain the first cellular data; uploading the first cellular data to the cellular base station; and / or, receiving the second cellular data from the cellular base station; performing protocol address conversion on the second cellular data to obtain the second Wi-Fi data; and sending the second Wi-Fi data to the first wireless terminal through Wi-Fi direct connection.

[0111] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of the present application, the second wireless terminal needs to bind the protocol address of the cellular network with the protocol address of the second wireless terminal, so that the second wireless terminal can implement protocol address conversion between cellular data and Wi-Fi data.

[0112] It should be noted that Wi-Fi Direct is a direct connection method supported by the Wi-Fi Alliance for Wi-Fi devices to connect point-to-point. In the embodiments of the present application, when the first wireless terminal and the second wireless terminal establish a Wi-Fi Direct connection, the second wireless terminal becomes the owner of the Wi-Fi Direct group, and the first wireless terminal becomes the client of the Wi-Fi Direct group, each having its own local Internet Protocol (IP) address for IP communication. Specifically, as Figure 7 shown, the IP layer software module of the second wireless terminal can be appropriately modified to bind the IP address of the cellular network with the IP address of the second wireless terminal. The data sent from the first wireless terminal to the second wireless terminal can perform IP address conversion in the second wireless terminal and finally be converted into cellular data and uploaded to the base station and the core network. Correspondingly, the second wireless terminal can also perform IP address conversion on the cellular data sent by the base station and the core network and finally convert it into Wi-Fi data and send it to the first wireless terminal.

[0113] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of the present application, when the second wireless terminal switches from the cellular network mode to the Wi-Fi network mode, the following steps can also be performed: sending second network switching information to the first wireless terminal through a Bluetooth link or Wi-Fi Direct, where the second network switching information indicates that the second wireless terminal switches from the cellular network mode to the Wi-Fi network mode.
