[0024] Based on the first primary cell and the first neighboring cell, the first fingerprint information is obtained by searching for a match in the fingerprint information database;

[0025] Determine whether the order of the first primary serving cell and the first neighboring cell is consistent with the order of the primary serving cell and the neighboring cell of the first mobile network in the first fingerprint information;

[0026] Under the condition of consistency, network information of the first wireless local area network corresponding to the first mobile network is determined.

[0027] Optionally, before determining, based on uplink data, that the terminal is in a first network rate requirement and the current network state is the first network state, and before determining, based on the fingerprint information database, the network information of a first wireless local area network corresponding to the first mobile network, further includes:

[0042] The communication network switching method, apparatus, device, and computer storage medium of this application embodiment acquire uplink data of the terminal during internet communication via the first mobile network after connecting to it. Based on this uplink data, the network speed and network status during internet communication via the first mobile network can be determined. If the network speed requirement is high and the current network status is low, it can be assumed that communication via the first mobile network cannot meet the communication needs. Therefore, a fingerprint database can be used to determine the existence of network information for a first wireless local area network corresponding to the first mobile network. This allows the wireless local area network connection control to be activated, enabling the terminal to connect to the first wireless local area network based on its network information. This completes the switching from the first mobile network to the first wireless local area network. Based on this, the activation of the wireless local area network connection control is effectively controlled, ensuring that the control is only activated when the terminal truly needs to connect to a wireless local area network and there is a wireless local area network available. This reduces the activation time of the wireless local area network control when there is no need for it, thus reducing the terminal's energy consumption. Attached Figure Description

[0051] The features and exemplary embodiments of various aspects of this application will be described in detail below. To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only intended to explain this application and not to limit it. For those skilled in the art, this application can be implemented without some of these specific details. The following description of the embodiments is merely to provide a better understanding of this application by illustrating examples.

[0052] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used merely to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-external inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising..." does not exclude the presence of additional identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element.

[0053] As described in the background section, in the prior art, when using traditional methods to audit speed limits, it is not possible to effectively prove that the speed limit was successful, and the results obtained may contain omissions or errors.

[0054] Based on this, in the communication network switching method provided in this application embodiment, the effect of limiting the data traffic usage value is evaluated by comparing the rate-limited data traffic usage value with a reference threshold. Then, the first user data corresponding to the target rate-limited data traffic usage value with poor rate-limiting effect is output to obtain the communication network switching result. This allows maintenance personnel to evaluate the rate-limiting effect of data traffic based on the audit results, thereby improving the audit effect of data traffic rate limiting.

[0055] This application provides a method, apparatus, device, and computer storage medium for switching communication networks. The method for switching communication networks provided in the embodiments of this application will be described first.

[0056] Figure 1 A flowchart illustrating a communication network switching method according to an embodiment of this application is shown. Figure 1 As shown, the method may include the following steps:

[0057] S101, when the terminal establishes a network connection with the first mobile network, acquire the uplink data of the terminal;

[0058] S102, if it is determined from the uplink data that the terminal is in the first network rate requirement and the current network state is the first network state, the network information of the first wireless local area network corresponding to the first mobile network is determined from the fingerprint information database; the fingerprint information database includes the corresponding first wireless local area network name, first wireless local area network password, and primary serving cell information of the first mobile network.

[0059] S103, enable the terminal's wireless local area network connection control so that the terminal can connect to the first wireless local area network according to the network information of the first wireless local area network.

[0060] Based on the above embodiments, by acquiring the uplink data of the terminal during internet communication via the first mobile network after connecting to it, the network speed and network status during internet communication via the first mobile network can be determined based on the uplink data. Therefore, if the network speed requirement is met and the current network status is also considered to be the first network status, it can be assumed that communication via the first mobile network cannot meet the communication needs. Thus, the fingerprint database can be used to determine the existence of network information for a first wireless local area network corresponding to the first mobile network. This allows the wireless local area network connection control to be activated, enabling the terminal to connect to the first wireless local area network based on its network information. This allows the terminal to switch from the first mobile network to the first wireless local area network. Based on this, the activation of the wireless local area network connection control is effectively controlled, ensuring that the control is only activated when the terminal truly needs to connect to a wireless local area network and when a wireless local area network is available. This reduces the activation time of the wireless local area network control when there is no need for it, thereby reducing the terminal's energy consumption.

[0061] In the above S101, when the terminal is connected to the first mobile network, the user will interact with the Internet and upload data when using the terminal.

[0062] As an example, uplink data refers to the data uploaded when the terminal interacts with the Internet.

[0063] As an example, the terminal may include mobile phones, computers, mobile tablets, etc.

[0064] In the above S102, by detecting the uplink data, the uplink network rate and uplink network status of the uplink data can be obtained. If the uplink network rate meets the first network rate requirement and the uplink network status is the first network status, then the fingerprint information database is used to determine whether there is network information of the first wireless local area network corresponding to the first mobile network. If it does not exist, it means that there is currently no wireless local area network that can establish a communication connection with the terminal. Otherwise, it means that there is a wireless local area network that can establish a communication connection with the terminal, namely the first wireless local area network.

[0065] As an example, the fingerprint database includes: the corresponding first wireless local area network name, the first wireless local area network password, and the primary serving cell information of the first mobile network. The first mobile network and the first wireless local area network are mutually corresponding, and the primary serving cell information of the first mobile network may include: the cell ID and RSRP (Reference Signal Receiving Power) of the first primary serving cell.

[0066] Specifically, the primary serving cell refers to the area covered by the base station that connects and communicates with the first mobile network.

[0067] As an example, the uplink network state is a state of large-scale data uplink.

[0068] Specifically, by periodically monitoring the BSR (Buffer Status Report) in real time, if the BSR value of the uplink data buffer sent by the terminal to the scheduler exceeds a threshold value in multiple sampling periods (sampling period of 5 seconds, 10 consecutive sampling points), then the uplink network status can be considered to be a high-data-demand uplink state.

[0069] As an example, the first network speed requirement is a low uplink network speed.

[0070] Specifically, the uplink network rate of the terminal is collected at the same frequency (sampling period of 5 seconds, 10 consecutive sampling points). If the average uplink rate is lower than the threshold value of 2, it is determined that the first mobile network is in a low uplink network rate state.

[0071] It should be noted that the sampling period, the specific number of sampling points, and the threshold value can all be set according to actual needs. This application does not limit the sampling period, the specific number of sampling points, or the threshold value.

[0072] In the above S103, if it is determined that the network connected to the first mobile network is in a state of low uplink speed and high demand, since the wireless local area network is more stable and has a higher uplink speed than the mobile network, in order to ensure the stability of data transmission, the wireless local area network connection control of the terminal can be actively activated, so that the terminal can actively connect to the network information connection of the first mobile network to the first wireless local area network.

[0073] Preferably, in order to better save the terminal's energy consumption, if the connection time between the terminal and the first wireless local area network exceeds the first preset time, it can be considered that the connection between the terminal and the first wireless local area network is stable and can stably and normally conduct Internet communication. Therefore, the terminal's first mobile network is turned off, and the connection between the terminal and the first mobile network is disconnected, thereby reducing the energy consumption caused by the terminal connecting to the first mobile network.

[0074] As an example, the first preset duration can be 30 seconds.

[0075] To more effectively ensure the network quality of the terminal, this application also provides another implementation of the communication network switching method.

[0076] like Figure 2 Another flowchart illustrating a communication network switching method provided in one embodiment of this application is shown, as follows: Figure 2 As shown, after S103 above, the method may further include:

[0077] S201, monitor the network quality of the first wireless local area network;

[0078] S202, if the network quality of the first wireless local area network does not meet the preset communication quality conditions, the mobile network connection control of the terminal is activated so that the terminal can connect to the mobile network.

[0079] Based on the above embodiments, by monitoring the network quality of the connection to the first wireless local area network, if the network quality does not meet the preset communication quality conditions, the terminal can directly connect to the mobile network by opening the mobile network control, thereby improving the terminal's network quality and effectively ensuring that the terminal is always in an excellent network quality state.

[0080] In the above S201, the network quality of the terminal accessing the Internet through the first wireless local area network is monitored in real time.

[0081] As an example, network quality can include: network transmission speed, network stability and network security, coverage strength, and long-term high bit error rate.

[0082] In the above S202, if the network quality of the first wireless local area network does not meet the preset communication quality conditions, it can be considered that the connection to the first wireless local area network cannot be used for normal Internet communication, or that Internet communication cannot provide a good user experience. Therefore, it is necessary to change the Internet communication method. Thus, the mobile network connection control of the terminal is activated to enable the terminal to connect to the mobile network, thereby improving the network quality of the terminal.

[0083] As an example, the network quality not meeting the preset communication quality conditions can be: when the average coverage strength of the wireless local area network is lower than the threshold value (initially defined as -85dBm) over a certain period of time (lasting 60 seconds).

[0084] Preferably, in order to better save the terminal's energy consumption, after the terminal reconnects to the first mobile network, the wireless local area network connection control is turned off to disconnect the terminal from the wireless local area network, thereby reducing the energy consumption caused by the terminal's connection to the wireless local area network.

[0085] In order to accurately obtain the first wireless local area network corresponding to the first mobile network, this application also provides another implementation of the communication network switching method.

[0086] The fingerprint database includes the terminal's location information;

[0087] like Figure 3 Another flowchart illustrating a communication network switching method provided in one embodiment of this application is shown, as follows: Figure 3 As shown, S102 above may include:

[0088] S301, Obtain the terminal's location information;

[0089] S302, based on the terminal location information, query the fingerprint information database for the first wireless local area network corresponding to the terminal location information;

[0090] S303, if a first wireless local area network corresponding to the terminal location information is found, determine that there is network information of a first wireless local area network corresponding to the first mobile network.

[0091] Based on the above embodiments, by querying the fingerprint information database according to the terminal's location information, the network information of the first wireless local area network that the terminal can connect to at its current location can be obtained through the fingerprint information database, thereby improving the accuracy of determining the first mobile network.

[0092] In the above S301, the location information of the terminal can be obtained through the terminal's location positioning.

[0093] As an example, the terminal's GPS, BeiDou positioning, and other functions can be used to achieve satellite positioning of the terminal, thereby obtaining the terminal's location information.

[0094] In the above S302, each wireless local area network has its own coverage area. The terminal location information can be used to determine whether the terminal is within the coverage area of ​​the wireless local area network. If the terminal is found, it means that there is a wireless local area network that can be connected to the terminal. For the terminal, it may be connected to the wireless local area network while connecting to the mobile network. Therefore, there is a corresponding relationship between the mobile network and the wireless local area network in the fingerprint information database. Then, the fingerprint information database is used to determine whether the terminal has connected to the first wireless local area network when connecting to the first mobile network.

[0095] In the above S303, if the corresponding first wireless local area network is found, it means that there is a first wireless local area network that has been previously connected to.

[0096] In order to accurately obtain the first wireless local area network corresponding to the first mobile network, this application also provides another implementation of the communication network switching method.

[0097] The fingerprint database includes neighboring cell information from the first mobile network;

[0098] like Figure 4 Another flowchart illustrating a communication network switching method provided in one embodiment of this application is shown, as follows: Figure 4 As shown, S102 above may include:

[0099] S401, determine the first neighboring cell adjacent to the first primary serving cell;

[0100] S402, based on the first primary serving cell and the first neighboring cell, find a match in the fingerprint information database to obtain the first fingerprint information;

[0101] S403, determine whether the order of the first primary serving cell and the first neighboring cell is consistent with the order of the primary serving cell and the neighboring cell of the first mobile network in the first fingerprint information;

[0102] S404, if consistent, determine that there is network information for a first wireless local area network corresponding to the first mobile network.

[0103] Based on the above embodiments, by determining the first neighboring cells adjacent to the first primary serving cell of the first mobile network, and considering the adjacency and hierarchy between the first neighboring cells and the first primary serving cell, the first fingerprint information related to the first primary serving cell and the first neighboring cells can be retrieved from the fingerprint information database. Then, it is determined whether the order of the primary serving cell and the neighboring cells in the first fingerprint information matches the actual hierarchy of the first primary serving cell and the first neighboring cells. If they match, it is determined that the first fingerprint information corresponds to the first mobile network. Since the first fingerprint information contains information about a first wireless local area network (WLAN), it is possible to determine the existence of network information for a WLAN corresponding to the first mobile network. Therefore, the corresponding WLAN can be accurately determined based on the first mobile network, improving the accuracy of determining the WLAN.

[0104] In the above S401, the first neighboring cell refers to the coverage area of ​​the base station adjacent to the first primary serving cell. Therefore, there are first neighboring cells adjacent to the first primary serving cell.

[0105] In the above S402, the fingerprint information database includes information about the primary cell and neighboring cells. The neighboring cell information may include the cell ID and RSRP of the neighboring cell.

[0106] Therefore, based on the first primary service cell and the first neighboring cell, the corresponding first fingerprint information can be found from the fingerprint information database. The first fingerprint information includes all information including the primary service cell and the neighboring cell. It should be noted that the first primary service cell and the first neighboring cell in the first fingerprint information only refer to the cell and do not specifically refer to the actual primary and secondary order.

[0107] In the above S403, the order of primary and secondary cells of the first primary serving cell and the first neighboring cell is compared with the order of primary and secondary cells of the primary serving cell and the neighboring cell in the first fingerprint information to see if they are consistent.

[0108] In the above S404, if the primary and secondary order is consistent, it means that the first mobile network belongs to the first fingerprint information, and the first fingerprint information contains the first local area network. Therefore, it can be determined that there is network information of the first wireless local area network corresponding to the first mobile network.

[0109] In order to obtain an accurate fingerprint database, this application also provides another implementation of the communication network switching method.

[0110] like Figure 5 Another flowchart illustrating a communication network switching method provided in one embodiment of this application is shown, as follows: Figure 5 As shown, prior to S101 above, the method may further include:

[0111] S501, Obtain attribute information of each communication network that communicates with the terminal within a preset time period, including: mobile network and wireless local area network;

[0112] S502, based on the attribute information of each wireless local area network, filters the target wireless local area networks that meet the connection conditions;

[0113] S503 constructs a fingerprint information database based on the attribute information of the mobile network and the attribute information of the target wireless local area network.

[0114] Based on the above embodiments, by filtering the mobile networks and wireless local area networks simultaneously connected in the middle segment, the target wireless local area networks that can establish a valid connection with the terminal are obtained. Thus, the attribute information of the target local area network and the attribute information of the corresponding mobile network can be used to construct a fingerprint information database, so that all the target wireless local area networks in the fingerprint information database can establish a valid connection with the terminal, resulting in an accurate and effective fingerprint information database.

[0115] In the above S501, when the terminal connects to the mobile network and the wireless local area network, it obtains the attribute information of the wireless local area network and the mobile network respectively.

[0116] As an example, the attribute information of a wireless local area network (WLAN) may include: WLAN name, WLAN password, WLAN connection duration to the terminal, WLAN connection count to the terminal, and WLAN location information.

[0117] As an example, the attribute information of a mobile network may include: the primary serving cell information of the mobile network, the neighboring cell information of the mobile network, etc.

[0118] In the above S502, when the terminal connects to the wireless local area network, the connection of the wireless local area network may not be stable. Therefore, it is necessary to filter the target wireless local area network that meets the connection conditions according to the attribute information of each wireless local area network, so as to obtain a target wireless local area network with a stable connection.

[0119] As an example, satisfying the preset conditions may include:

[0120] The target wireless local area network is identified as the wireless local area network whose connection duration is greater than the second preset duration and whose number of connections is greater than the preset number.

[0121] Specifically, the second preset duration is 10 minutes, and the preset number of connections can be 5. Wireless local area networks with a connection duration of more than 10 minutes and a connection count of more than 5 are identified as target wireless local area networks.

[0122] In the above S503, a fingerprint information database is constructed based on the attribute information of the mobile network and the attribute information of the target wireless local area network, so that a corresponding relationship is formed between the mobile network and the target wireless network in the fingerprint information database.

[0123] As an example, building a fingerprint database requires processing information, specifically processing the RSRP probability cumulative distribution of wireless LAN name, wireless LAN password, mobile network primary serving cell information, neighboring cell information probability cumulative distribution, and wireless LAN location information.

[0124] The specific implementation steps are as follows:

[0125] Traverse the primary serving cell cell IDs, and based on the RSRP data distribution statistics, use the sliding window algorithm (two-pointer algorithm) to find the minimum interval that satisfies the 80% range of continuous RSRP distribution, thus obtaining the optimal solution for all primary serving cell cell IDs.

[0126] The above information is then stored on the terminal to form a fingerprint information database.

[0127] It should be noted that the application scenarios described in the above embodiments of this application are for the purpose of more clearly illustrating the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application, and do not constitute a limitation on the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of this application. As those skilled in the art will know, with the emergence of new application scenarios, the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of this application are also applicable to similar technical problems.

[0128] Based on the same inventive concept, this application also provides a communication network switching device. (Specifically combined with...) Figure 6 Please provide a detailed explanation.

[0129] Figure 6A schematic diagram of the hardware structure of a communication network switching device 600 provided in an embodiment of the present invention is shown.

[0130] like Figure 6 As shown, the switching device 600 of the communication network may include:

[0131] The first acquisition module 610 is used to acquire uplink data of the terminal when the terminal establishes a network connection with the first mobile network.

[0132] The determination module 620 is used to determine, based on the fingerprint information database, the existence of a first wireless local area network corresponding to the first mobile network when the terminal is determined to be in a first network rate requirement and the current network state is the first network state, according to the uplink data; the fingerprint information database includes the corresponding first wireless local area network name, first wireless local area network password, and primary serving cell information of the first mobile network;

[0133] The first activation module 630 is used to activate the terminal's wireless local area network connection control, so that the terminal can connect to the first wireless local area network according to the network information of the first wireless local area network.

[0134] In the data encryption communication network switching device 600 provided in this embodiment, the first acquisition module 610 acquires the uplink data of the terminal when it communicates with the Internet through the first mobile network after connecting to the first mobile network. Based on the uplink data, the network speed and network status when communicating with the Internet through the first mobile network can be determined. If the network speed requirement is met and the current network status is the first network status, it can be considered that communication through the first mobile network cannot meet the communication requirements. Therefore, the determination module 620 can use a fingerprint information database to determine the existence of network information for a first wireless local area network corresponding to the first mobile network. Then, the first activation module 630 can activate the wireless local area network connection control, allowing the terminal to connect to the first wireless local area network based on its network information. This allows the terminal to complete the switch from the first mobile network to the first wireless local area network. Based on this, the activation of the wireless local area network connection control is effectively controlled, ensuring that the control is only activated when the terminal truly needs to connect to a wireless local area network and there is a wireless local area network available. This reduces the activation time of the wireless local area network control when there is no need for it, thus reducing the terminal's energy consumption.

[0135] Optionally, the communication network switching device 600 may further include:
