[0059] The processor 110 can also be provided with a memory for storing instructions and data. In some embodiments, the memory in the processor 110 is a cache memory.

[0060] The internal memory 121 can be used to store computer executable program codes including instructions. The processor 110 executes various functional applications and data processing of the electronic device 100 by running the instructions stored in the internal memory 121. The internal memory 121 can include a program storage area and a data storage area.

In addition, the internal memory 121 can include a high-speed random access memory, and can also include a non-volatile memory such as at least one magnetic disk storage device, a flash memory device, a universal flash storage (UFS), and the like.

[0061] The wireless communication function of the electronic device 100 can be implemented through the antenna 1, the antenna 2, the mobile communication module 150, the wireless communication module 160, the modem processor, and the baseband processor, etc.

[0062] The antenna 1 and the antenna 2 are used to transmit and receive electromagnetic wave signals. Each antenna in the electronic device 100 can be used to cover a single or multiple communication frequency bands. Different antennas can also be multiplexed to improve the utilization of the antennas. For example, the antenna 1 can be multiplexed as a diversity antenna for wireless local area networks. In some other embodiments, the antennas can be used in combination with a tuning switch.

[0063] The mobile communication module 150 can provide a solution for wireless communication including 2G / 3G / 4G / 5G, etc. applied to the electronic device 100. The mobile communication module 150 can include at least one filter, a switch, a power amplifier, a low noise amplifier (LNA), etc.

The electronic device 100 interacts with a network through the SIM card to achieve functions such as call and data communication. In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 uses an eSIM, i.e., an embedded SIM card. The eSIM card can be embedded in the electronic device 100 and cannot be separated from the electronic device 100.

[0067] Figure 2 A software structure block diagram of the electronic device 100 of the embodiments of the present application is shown for illustration.

[0068] The layered architecture of the electronic device 100 divides the software into several layers, each of which has a clear role and division of labor. Layers communicate with each other through software interfaces. In some embodiments, the Android system can include an application layer, an application framework layer, a system library, and a kernel layer.

[0069] The application layer can include a series of application packages.

[0070] As shown in Figure 2 , the application packages can include camera, gallery, calendar, WLAN, music, video, Bluetooth, and the like. Of course, these applications are only exemplary, and in other embodiments, the application layer can include applications not shown in Figure 2 , or can not include one or more of the applications shown in Figure 2 .

[0071] The WLAN interface includes a network sharing module, which is configured to execute the network sharing method of the embodiments of the present application.

[0072] As shown in Figure 2 , the application framework layer can include a window manager, a resource manager, a view system, and the like.

[0073] The window manager is configured to manage window programs. The window manager can obtain the size of the display screen, determine whether there is a status bar, lock the screen, and take screenshots, and the like.

[0074] A view system includes visual controls, such as controls for displaying text and controls for displaying images. View systems can be used to build applications. A display interface can consist of one or more views. For example, a display interface including a text notification icon could include views for displaying text and views for displaying images.

[0075] The file explorer provides applications with various resources, such as localized strings, icons, images, layout files, video files, and more.

[0076] The Android Runtime consists of core libraries and a virtual machine. The Android Runtime is responsible for scheduling and managing the Android system.

[0077] The core library consists of two parts: one part is the functionalities that need to be called by the Java language, and the other part is the Android core library.

[0078] The application layer and application framework layer run in a virtual machine. The virtual machine executes the Java files of the application layer and application framework layer as binary files. The virtual machine is used to perform functions such as object lifecycle management, stack management, thread management, security and exception management, and garbage collection.

[0079] System libraries can include multiple functional modules. For example: surface manager, media libraries, 3D graphics processing libraries (e.g., OpenGL ES), 2D graphics engines (e.g., SGL), etc.

[0080] The Surface Manager is used to manage the display subsystem and provides the blending of 2D and 3D layers for multiple applications.

[0081] The media library supports playback and recording of various common audio and video formats, as well as still image files. It supports multiple audio and video encoding formats, such as MPEG4, H.264, MP3, AAC, AMR, JPG, and PNG.

[0082] The 3D graphics processing library is used to implement 3D graphics drawing, image rendering, compositing, and layer processing.

[0083] A 2D graphics engine is a graphics engine for 2D (two-dimensional) drawing.

[0084] The kernel layer is the layer between hardware and software.

[0085] like Figure 2 As shown, the kernel layer can include display drivers, Wi-Fi drivers, audio drivers, sensor drivers, Bluetooth drivers, etc.

[0086] It can be understood that, Figure 2 The layers in the software structure shown and the components contained in each layer do not constitute a specific limitation on the electronic device 100. In other embodiments of the present application, the electronic device 100 can include more or fewer layers than shown, and each layer can include more or fewer components, which are not limited in the present application.

[0087] In the present embodiment, unless otherwise specified, network sharing refers to sharing a mobile data network.

[0088] In one embodiment, the status bar on the interface of the tablet (PAD) appears a signal and an HD icon (representing the telephone and SMS capabilities), and the toolbar appears the application icons of the call and SMS, but at this time the tablet cannot access the network because the mobile phone has not disconnected the Wi-Fi, but the super terminal interface of the mobile phone appears a network sharing icon, and the control center of the mobile phone can see that the communication capability is being shared.

[0089] In this embodiment, when the tablet side truly meets the networkable condition, a notification appears, which appears only once and can be cleared. At this time, the mobile phone side receives a second notification (which can be deleted), and the control center of the mobile phone does not change.

[0090] In this embodiment, if the mobile phone is removed or connected to the WLAN, the tablet will appear a prompt that the network sharing is disconnected, but at this time the signal bar of the tablet continues to appear the signal icon. But at this time the mobile phone side will not receive any notification, and the control center of the mobile phone continues to display that the network sharing is in a connected state, and there is no way to make the network sharing enter the true connection again.

[0091] It can be seen that the present embodiment has the problem that the cognitive state of the network sharing function is not clear.

[0092] The network sharing scheme of some embodiments has the following problems:

[0093] I. Difficult to trigger

[0094] The mobile phone and the tablet both turn on the WLAN and Bluetooth switches, and neither is connected to the WLAN.

[0095] Mutually exclusive with functions such as multi-screen collaboration and distributed camera.

[0096] II. Complex connection method

[0097] Manual connection (in the control center of the mobile phone).

[0098] Non-automatic connection (prompted once when the screen is turned on from the black screen (i.e. off screen)).

[0099] III. Many device limitation conditions

[0100] It only supports multi-device communication sharing between mobile phones and SIM-free tablets or mobile phones and laptops.

[0101] It only supports one-to-one communication sharing between devices, and does not support one-to-many communication.

[0102] IV. Poor user experience

[0103] Multi-device mobile communication sharing includes three services, which appear at different times and are prompted twice.

[0104] Once network sharing is disconnected, it cannot be reconnected because multi-device communication sharing is still in a connected state.

[0105] The settings are complex and include restrictions such as traffic limits that users will not actually use.

[0106] This application also provides the following embodiments.

[0107] In the following embodiment, mobile phones, PADs (i.e., tablets), PCs, and in-vehicle systems support self-discovery and self-connection, forming a Magic Ring. After a mobile device connects to the Magic Ring, the mobile cellular network service can be atomized and provided to devices such as PADs, PCs, and in-vehicle systems, ensuring that the user's internet access needs on these devices are met.

[0108] The network sharing service intelligently detects the current environment. If an available Wi-Fi connection is available, the service will automatically shut down to help users save data.

[0109] When no Wi-Fi is available in the environment, users can initiate a network sharing request on their tablets, PCs, or in-vehicle infotainment systems. Upon receiving the request, the mobile device establishes a network sharing channel with other devices via the Wi-Fi IP2P gateway. The tablet, PC, or in-vehicle infotainment system then shares the mobile cellular signal for internet access through this network sharing channel. The mobile device, acting as the gateway (Gc), effectively reduces its power consumption.

[0110] PADs, PCs, and in-vehicle systems accumulate and periodically report data usage during internet access, which users can check. After a network sharing channel is successfully established, both the mobile phone and the device can cache the peer ID for use in the next network sharing connection.

[0111] Mobile phones, tablets, or in-vehicle systems can proactively disconnect network sharing services and destroy the network sharing channel on the trust ring. For example, when a tablet or PC screen goes black (i.e., the screen is off) and data usage is less than 1Mb / s for one minute, the network sharing service can be automatically interrupted. This prevents users from forgetting about network sharing services and incurring losses.

[0112] Figure 3An example diagram of the interface change process of the tablet in the scenario of the first time prompting the network sharing function in the embodiment is shown. It should be noted that the first time prompting here refers to the first time prompting after each boot of the tablet.

[0113] Referring to Figure 3 FIG. 1(a), before Figure 3 FIG. 1(a), the interface 1 is displayed on the interface of the tablet, for example, the interface 1 can be a desktop. Of course, the interface 1 can also be other interfaces, which are not listed one by one here.

[0114] In one example, the timing of the first time prompting can be: the tablet switches from the screen-off state to the screen-on state. For example, after the tablet is booted, in the screen-off state, the tablet and the mobile phone spontaneously form a trust ring (the corresponding account is the first account), and automatically connect to the mobile phone through Bluetooth, the tablet and the mobile phone both open Bluetooth and Wi-Fi and are not connected to Wi-Fi, both log in the first account, the tablet has not been prompted for the network sharing function since the last boot, and the hotspot function of the mobile phone is not turned on. In this scenario, if the tablet switches from the screen-off state to the screen-on state, the tablet will be prompted for the first time for network sharing on the interface.

[0115] In another example, the timing of the first time prompting can be: the tablet is currently in the screen-on state, the tablet discovers the mobile phone through Bluetooth scanning and spontaneously forms a trust ring with the mobile phone (the corresponding account is the first account), and automatically connects to the mobile phone through Bluetooth, the tablet and the mobile phone both open Bluetooth and Wi-Fi and are not connected to Wi-Fi, both log in the first account, the tablet has not been prompted for the network sharing function since the last boot, and the hotspot function of the mobile phone is not turned on. In this scenario, the tablet can prompt for the first time for network sharing on the current interface.

[0116] In the embodiment, when the network sharing prompt is performed, there can be more than one connectable mobile phone (a mobile phone that can provide a shareable mobile data network), and the last connected mobile phone can be connected preferentially. If the more than one connectable mobile phones appear at the same time and have all been connected or have all not been connected, the device that is online first is connected or is recommended to be connected. If the more than one connectable mobile phones do not appear at the same time, the user can be prompted in turn, the mobile phone network has been connected, and the mobile phone that is online later is not prompted.

[0117] When the first condition is met, the network sharing prompt box 1 is displayed on the interface 1 of the tablet. The network sharing prompt box 1 can include the first prompt information of the mobile phone that can provide a shareable mobile data network “discover available network, use the mobile data network of the mobile phone 1 to surf the Internet”, and the first option “one-click connection” for indicating connection to the mobile data network of the mobile phone.

[0118] The first option "one-touch connection" can be a touch button.

[0119] Then, the user touches the first option "one-touch connection" in the (a) figure to select to use the mobile data network of the mobile phone 1 to surf the Internet. Figure 3

[0120] The tablet establishes a network sharing channel with the mobile phone "mobile phone 1" in response to the touch operation on the first option "one-touch connection", cancels the display of the network sharing prompt box 1, and displays a first connection animation in the upper left corner of the interface 1 of the tablet, as shown in the (b) figure of Figure 3 . The upper left corner can be the leftmost side in the status bar of the interface of the tablet. The middle process picture of the first connection animation can be as shown in the animation picture 1 in the (b) figure of Figure 3 . The connection animation shown in the animation picture 1 can be an animation of a graphic 1 (smaller ball on the right side of the animation picture 1) rotating around a graphic 2 (larger ball on the left side of the animation picture 1). The plane formed by the rotation track can be perpendicular to the plane of the screen of the tablet.

[0121] As shown in the (c) figure of Figure 3 , after the first connection animation ends, the animation picture is no longer displayed, and a first capsule (as shown in the icon 1 in the (c) figure of Figure 3 ) is displayed in the upper left corner of the interface 1, which is used to indicate that the mobile data network of the mobile phone has been successfully connected. The color of the first capsule can be green or blue or other colors. Please continue to refer to the (c) figure of Figure 3 , the icon 1 corresponding to the first capsule can include the device name "mobile phone 1" of the mobile phone currently providing the mobile data network sharing. When the display area required by the device name is greater than the area available for displaying the device name in the icon 1, the device name can be displayed by scrolling or replacing the un-displayed content with an ellipsis. The icon 1 can also include a mobile data network icon.

[0122] As shown in the (d) figure of Figure 3 , if the duration of displaying the first capsule (i.e., the icon 1) reaches a first duration, the first capsule is canceled, and an icon 2 is displayed in the upper left corner, which is used to indicate that the tablet is using the mobile data network of the mobile phone. The icon 2 is a mobile data network icon.

[0123] After establishing the network sharing channel, the user can disconnect the network sharing channel between the tablet and the mobile phone "mobile phone 1" in multiple ways. One way to disconnect the mobile data network sharing can be to select the following Figure 4 ​The "Stop using" option in Figure (a) (i.e., the option to stop using mobile data network). Another way to disconnect mobile data network sharing is to touch the device name "Mobile Phone 1" in the network sharing list under the network sharing function item in the WLAN interface.

[0124] After disconnecting the tablet's mobile data network sharing channel, if the phone "Phone 1" is still in the tablet's trust ring, it means that "Phone 1" can provide a shareable mobile data network. If the user wants to share the network with Phone 1 again, they can select an option like "One-click connection" in the network sharing notification message displayed in the tablet's notification interface to establish a network sharing channel with Phone 1.

[0125] Among them, the network sharing prompt box 1, icon 1, and icon 2 can be located on the top layer of the tablet's display interface to ensure that they are not covered by other content on the interface.

[0126] Please continue reading Figure 3 As shown in Figure (a), the network sharing prompt box 1 may also include a second option, "Cancel," to indicate that mobile data sharing is not being used. If the user does not wish to use the mobile data sharing function when the network sharing prompt box 1 pops up on the tablet interface, they can touch the second option, "Cancel." In response to the touch operation on the second option, "Cancel," the tablet cancels the display of the network sharing prompt box 1 and does not establish a network sharing channel with the phone.

[0127] If the user selects the second option "Cancel" in the network sharing prompt box 1, since phone 1 can still provide a shareable mobile data network and phone 1 is still on the same trust ring as the tablet, it is possible to... Figure 14 The WLAN interface shown will display the device name of mobile phone 1 in the network sharing list under the "Network Sharing" function. When the user touches the device name in the network sharing list, the tablet can establish a network sharing channel with mobile phone 1.

[0128] In one example, the first condition could be: a tablet and an electronic device that provides a shareable mobile data network. Figure 3 In the illustrated embodiment, all mobile phones ("Mobile Phone 1") have Bluetooth and Wi-Fi enabled but are not connected to Wi-Fi, and are logged into the first account. The hotspot function of the electronic device providing a shareable mobile data network is not enabled.

[0129] After the tablet and the mobile phone log in the first account, the tablet and the mobile phone can be connected through Bluetooth, a trust circle is formed, and each device can save the information of the devices on the trust circle. The process of forming the trust circle by the tablet and the mobile phone is automatically completed. When any one of the tablet and the mobile phone is turned on and Bluetooth is enabled, the device can automatically scan, and if the device is found to belong to the same account, the device and the found device are automatically connected through Bluetooth to form the trust circle. Of course, more than three devices that log in the same account can form the trust circle, and the devices on the trust circle can be connected through Bluetooth or Wi-Fi.

[0130] In the embodiment, the mobile phones in the same trust circle as the tablet can provide the tablet with the mobile data network that can be shared.

[0131] Figure 4 The embodiment is exemplarily shown. FIG. 2 is an example diagram of a notification interface of the tablet and a notification interface of the mobile phone after the network sharing channel is established.

[0132] Referring to Figure 4 , Figure 4 FIG. 2(a) is a diagram of the notification interface of the tablet after the network sharing channel is established. After the network sharing channel is established, the notification interface of the tablet displays a notification prompt box of network sharing. The notification prompt box of network sharing can include second prompt information “using the mobile data network of the mobile phone 1” for indicating that the tablet is sharing the mobile data network, and can also include mobile data traffic consumption information. The mobile data traffic consumption information can include consumed mobile data traffic this time (for example, “this time has consumed the mobile data traffic of the mobile phone 1 for 100 MB”) and accumulated consumed mobile data traffic this month (for example, “this month has consumed the mobile data traffic of the mobile phone 1 for 300 MB”).

[0133] Figure 4 In FIG. 2(a), the notification prompt box of network sharing can also include a “stop using” option (that is, an option for stopping using the mobile data network). When the user selects the “stop using” option in FIG. 2(a), the tablet disconnects the network sharing channel with the mobile phone 1 in response to receiving the selection operation of the option for stopping using the mobile data network, and cancels the display of the icon 2 in FIG. 1 on the interface of the tablet. Figure 4 Figure 3

[0134] Figure 4 FIG. 2(b) is a diagram of the notification interface of the mobile phone “mobile phone 1” after the network sharing channel is established. After the network sharing channel is established, the notification interface of the mobile phone “mobile phone 1” displays network sharing information. The network sharing information can include shared state information, for example, “sharing the mobile data network” in FIG. 2(b), and can also include information of the number of devices sharing the mobile data network, for example, “sharing the mobile data network with 1 device” in FIG. 2(b). Figure 4 Figure 4 ​​​The "1 device connected" in Figure (b) may also include information on mobile data traffic consumed, such as... Figure 4 The figure in (b) shows "300MB of mobile data was consumed this month...". Of course, this network sharing information can include more information, which will not be listed here.

[0135] Please continue reading Figure 4 Figure (b) shows that after the network sharing channel is established, the notification interface of mobile phone "Mobile 1" can also display an option to disconnect the mobile data network sharing channel, for example... Figure 4 The "Disconnect" option in Figure (b) is shown. When the user selects the "Disconnect" option, the phone receives the operation to disconnect the network sharing channel. In response to this operation, phone "Phone 1" disconnects the network sharing channel between "Phone 1" and the tablet, and the option is removed from the tablet's interface. Figure 3 Icon 2 in the image. At this point, after the tablet detects that the network sharing channel with "Phone 1" has been lost, it restores the tablet's interface to the normal interface, for example... Figure 3 Figure (a) shows the interface after removing the network sharing prompt box 1.

[0136] Figure 5 This is an example diagram illustrating the tablet interface changes during the scenario where the network sharing function is again prompted in this embodiment. It should be noted that "re-prompting" here refers to the second and subsequent prompts indicating the availability of the network sharing function after each tablet power-on.

[0137] The prompt can be repeated after the initial prompt, or each time the tablet screen turns on again after being turned off.

[0138] Please see Figure 5 In diagram (a), the user is... Figure 3 After selecting the "Cancel" option in Figure (a), the tablet screen turns off. Then, when the tablet screen turns on, the second capsule (i.e., icon 3) is displayed in the upper left corner of the tablet's interface 1, indicating that there is a mobile phone that can provide mobile data network sharing, but a network sharing channel has not been established between the tablet and the mobile phone. It should be noted that in this embodiment, it is assumed that the tablet interface is still on interface 1. In other embodiments, the interface may be different each time a network sharing prompt is made. The color of the second capsule may be gray.

[0139] When the user touches Figure 5 In Figure (a), icon 3 indicates that the tablet, in response to the touch operation, establishes a network sharing channel with the mobile phone "Mobile Phone 1", cancels the display of the second capsule, and displays the first connection animation in the upper left corner of interface 1, such as... Figure 5 As shown in Figure (b). Figure 5 Figure (b) is the same as the aforementioned Figure 3 The process shown in Figure (b) is the same, regardingFigure 5 The detailed description of the (b) figure of FIG. 1 1 is referred to the foregoing related description of the (b) figure of FIG. 1 1, which will not be repeated here. Figure 3 The detailed description of the (c) figure of FIG. 1 1 is referred to the foregoing related description of the (c) figure of FIG. 1 1, which will not be repeated here.

[0140] Then, after the first connection animation ends, the first capsule (i.e. the icon 1 ) is displayed at the top left corner of the interface 1, as shown in the (c) figure of FIG. 1 1. In this case, Figure 5 The (c) figure of FIG. 1 1 is the same as the process shown in the (c) figure of FIG. 1 1, and the detailed description of the (c) figure of FIG. 1 1 is referred to the foregoing related description of the (c) figure of FIG. 1 1, which will not be repeated here. Figure 5 The (c) figure of FIG. 1 1 is the same as the process shown in the (c) figure of FIG. 1 1, and the detailed description of the (c) figure of FIG. 1 1 is referred to the foregoing related description of the (c) figure of FIG. 1 1, which will not be repeated here. Figure 3 The detailed description of the (c) figure of FIG. 1 1 is referred to the foregoing related description of the (c) figure of FIG. 1 1, which will not be repeated here. Figure 5 The (c) figure of FIG. 1 1 is the same as the process shown in the (c) figure of FIG. 1 1, and the detailed description of the (c) figure of FIG. 1 1 is referred to the foregoing related description of the (c) figure of FIG. 1 1, which will not be repeated here. Figure 3 The detailed description of the (c) figure of FIG. 1 1 is referred to the foregoing related description of the (c) figure of FIG. 1 1, which will not be repeated here.

[0141] If the time length of displaying the first capsule reaches the first time length, the first capsule is removed, and the icon 2 is displayed at the top left corner of the interface 1, as shown in the (d) figure of FIG. 1 1. In this way, the tablet can use the mobile data network of the mobile phone "mobile phone 1 " to surf the Internet. Figure 5 If the mobile phone "mobile phone 1 " no longer provides the sharable mobile data network after the process shown in the (d) figure of FIG. 1 1 or the (d) figure of FIG. 1 1, i.e. the mobile data network of the mobile phone "mobile phone 1 " becomes unshareable, for example, the mobile phone "mobile phone 1 " exits the trust circle of the tablet, or the hotspot function of the mobile phone "mobile phone 1 " is turned on, the tablet removes the icon 2 in the (d) figure of FIG. 1 1 (or the (d) figure of FIG. 1 1 ). At this time, the interface of the tablet returns to the normal interface, and there is no information about the mobile data network sharing on the normal interface.

[0142] Figure 3 Figure 5 If the mobile phone "mobile phone 1 " no longer provides the sharable mobile data network after the process shown in the (d) figure of FIG. 1 1 or the (d) figure of FIG. 1 1, i.e. the mobile data network of the mobile phone "mobile phone 1 " becomes unshareable, for example, the mobile phone "mobile phone 1 " exits the trust circle of the tablet, or the hotspot function of the mobile phone "mobile phone 1 " is turned on, the tablet removes the icon 2 in the (d) figure of FIG. 1 1 (or the (d) figure of FIG. 1 1 ). At this time, the interface of the tablet returns to the normal interface, and there is no information about the mobile data network sharing on the normal interface. Figure 3 Figure 5

[0143] If the mobile phone "mobile phone 1 " no longer provides the sharable mobile data network after the process shown in the (d) figure of FIG. 1 1 or the (d) figure of FIG. 1 1, i.e. the mobile data network of the mobile phone "mobile phone 1 " becomes unshareable, for example, the mobile phone "mobile phone 1 " exits the trust circle of the tablet, or the hotspot function of the mobile phone "mobile phone 1 " is turned on, the tablet removes the icon 2 in the (d) figure of FIG. 1 1 (or the (d) figure of FIG. 1 1 ). At this time, the interface of the tablet returns to the normal interface, and there is no information about the mobile data network sharing on the normal interface. Figure 6

[0144] Figure 6 A tablet interface example in the case of a new mobile phone is shown in FIG. 1 1 (c). Please refer to FIG. 1 1 (c). Figure 6 ​​​​​When a new mobile phone providing a mobile data network sharable with the tablet appears without establishing a network sharing channel with the tablet, the tablet displays a second capsule (i.e., icon 3) and a new device prompt information in the upper left corner of interface 1. The new device prompt information indicates that the mobile phone 2 provides a mobile data network sharable with the tablet. For example, the new device prompt information can be "Click to use the mobile data network of mobile phone 2 to surf the Internet". Figure 6

[0145] When the user touches the second capsule (i.e., icon 3) in Figure 6 , the tablet receives the touch operation on the second capsule, establishes a network sharing channel with the mobile phone 2 in response to the touch operation, and cancels the display of the second capsule. Then, the tablet displays the interface according to the processes shown in (b) to (d) of Figure 5 , which will not be described herein again.

[0146] Figure 7 An example of a tablet interface in a scenario where multiple connectable devices exist is shown. As shown in Figure 7 , if there are multiple devices providing a mobile data network sharable with the tablet, for example, mobile phones "mobile phone 1" and "mobile phone 2", and the tablet has established a network sharing channel with "mobile phone 1" before the current prompt, in the scenario of the re-prompt shown in Figure 5 , the tablet displays a first capsule (i.e., icon 1) in the upper left corner of interface 1 and a selection prompt box below the first capsule (in other embodiments, the selection prompt box can also be displayed below the first capsule only when the user touches the first capsule), as shown in the selection prompt box of Figure 5 . Figure 5 In the re-prompt process shown in Figure 7 , the interface of (c) of Figure 7 is replaced by , that is, the tablet displays a first capsule (i.e., icon 1) in the upper left corner of interface 1 and a selection prompt box below the first capsule, as shown in the selection prompt box of .

[0147] Please continue to refer to Figure 7 . The selection prompt box can include an option corresponding to "mobile phone 1", and the option corresponding to "mobile phone 1" is marked with a check mark "√", which indicates that the tablet is currently connected to the mobile data network of "mobile phone 1".

[0148] The selection prompt box can also include an option corresponding to "mobile phone 2". If the user selects the option corresponding to "mobile phone 2", the tablet disconnects the network sharing channel with "mobile phone 1" and establishes a new network sharing channel with "mobile phone 2" in response to the selection operation on the option corresponding to "mobile phone 2". Then, the tablet cancels the display of the first capsule and the selection prompt box on the interface and displays icon 2 in the upper left corner of interface 1.

[0149] When there are multiple mobile phones providing sharable mobile data networks, if the tablet has established a network sharing channel with one mobile phone, the user can also disconnect from this mobile phone by clicking the capsule and then select another network to reestablish a network sharing channel, for example, the user can select another network in the WLAN entry (see the network sharing list in the following Figure 14 ) or the smart interconnection control center.

[0150] Figures 3 to 7 In the embodiment shown by way of example, the icons related to network sharing are displayed in the upper left corner of the tablet screen, which can avoid blocking the original status bar information displayed in the upper right corner of the tablet screen, and can provide a better experience for the user.

[0151] Figure 8 Another example diagram of the tablet interface change process in the scenario of initially prompting the network sharing function in the embodiment shown by way of example. Figure 8 The tablet interface change process shown in Figure 3 is different from the tablet interface change process shown in Figure 8 , in that, Figure 3 the animation effect used in the (b) figure is different from the animation effect used in the (b) figure, and in the figures of Figure 8 , the icon 1, the icon 2, the animation picture 2, etc. are displayed in the upper right corner of the tablet interface 1.

[0152] Figure 8 A picture in the process of the animation effect used in the (b) figure is shown in the animation picture 2, which is an animation of a ring composed of a plurality of points rotating.

[0153] In addition to the above two points, Figure 8 the tablet interface change process shown in Figure 3 is the same as the tablet interface change process shown in Figure 8 , and for the detailed description of the tablet interface change process shown in the figures, Figure 3 , please refer to the foregoing description of the related figures, which will not be repeated here.

[0154] Figure 9 Another example diagram of the tablet interface change process in the scenario of re-prompting the network sharing function in the embodiment shown by way of example.

[0155] Figure 9 The tablet interface change process shown in Figure 5 is different from the tablet interface change process shown in Figure 9 , in that, Figure 5 the animation effect used in the (b) figure is different from the animation effect used in the (b) figure, and in the figures of Figure 9 , the icon 1, the icon 2, the animation picture 2, etc. are displayed in the upper right corner of the tablet interface 1.

[0156] Figure 9 (b) one of the pictures in the process of the motion effect adopted in the figure is shown in the motion effect picture 2, which is the animation of the rotation of the ring composed of a plurality of points.

[0157] In addition to the above two differences, Figure 9 the flat interface change process shown in Figure 5 is the same as the flat interface change process shown in Figure 9 For the detailed description of the flat interface change process shown in each figure, please refer to the foregoing description of Figure 5 the related figures, which will not be repeated here.

[0158] Figure 10 Another example of the flat interface in the scenario of the appearance of a new mobile phone is shown in the figure. Different from the interface shown in Figure 6 , the second capsule (i.e., icon 3) and the new device prompt information in Figure 10 are displayed on the right side of the screen, wherein the second capsule (i.e., icon 3) is displayed in the upper right corner of the flat interface 1, and the new device prompt information is displayed below the second capsule. For the appearance timing, appearance process, etc. of the interface shown in Figure 10 , please refer to the related description in Figure 6 , which will not be repeated here.

[0159] Figure 11 Another example of the flat interface in the scenario of the existence of a plurality of connectable devices is shown in the figure. Different from the interface shown in Figure 7 , the second capsule (i.e., icon 3) and the new mobile phone prompt box 1 in Figure 11 are displayed on the right side of the screen, wherein the second capsule (i.e., icon 3) is displayed in the upper right corner of the flat interface 1, and the new mobile phone prompt box 1 is displayed below the second capsule. For the appearance timing, appearance process, etc. of the interface shown in Figure 11 , please refer to the related description in Figure 7 , which will not be repeated here.

[0160] Figures 8 to 11 In , the icons related to network sharing are displayed in the upper right corner of the flat screen, which conforms to the user's usage habits and can provide a better experience for the user.

[0161] Figure 12 Another example of the flat interface change process in the scenario of the initial prompt of the network sharing function in the embodiment is shown in the figure.

[0162] Please refer to Figure 12 (a) figure. Before Figure 12 (a) figure, the interface of the flat is interface 1, for example, the interface 1 can be a desktop.

[0163] When the first condition is met, a network sharing prompt box 2 is displayed on the interface 1 of the tablet. The network sharing prompt box 2 can include the first prompt information "discover available network, use the mobile data network of the mobile phone 1 to surf the Internet" of the mobile phone which can provide the mobile data network to be shared, and the option "connect immediately" for indicating the connection to the mobile data network of the mobile phone.

[0164] The option "connect immediately" can be a touch button.

[0165] Then, the user touches (for example, clicks, double-clicks, slides, etc.) Figure 12 the option "connect immediately" in the (a) figure to select the use of the mobile data network of the mobile phone 1 to surf the Internet.

[0166] The tablet responds to the touch operation on the option "connect immediately", establishes a network sharing channel with the mobile phone 1, cancels the display of the network sharing prompt box 2, and displays an icon 2 on the upper left corner of the interface 1 of the tablet. The icon 2 is used to indicate that the network sharing channel has been successfully established, and the tablet is using the mobile data network of the mobile phone. The icon 2 is a mobile data network icon.

[0167] After the network sharing channel is successfully established, the display content of the notification interface of the tablet can be as shown in the (a) figure of Figure 4 , and the display content of the notification interface of the mobile phone can be as shown in the (b) figure of Figure 4 .

[0168] Please continue to refer to the (a) figure of Figure 12 , the network sharing prompt box 2 can also include the option "cancel" for indicating the non-use of the mobile data network sharing. If the user does not want to use the function of the mobile data network sharing when the network sharing prompt box 2 is popped up on the interface of the tablet, the user can touch the option "cancel". The tablet responds to the touch operation on the option "cancel", cancels the display of the network sharing prompt box 2, and does not establish a network sharing channel with the mobile phone, that is, does not use the mobile data network of the mobile phone 1.

[0169] The first condition can refer to the foregoing description, which will not be described here.

[0170] It should be noted that the various embodiments described in the present text with the tablet are also applicable to PC, car machine and other electronic devices.

[0171] When the scheme only supports 1:1 connection, if the PAD and the PC are both in the trust ring, if there is a mobile phone which can provide a mobile data network to be shared in the trust ring, the screens of the PAD and the PC will appear a prompt for recommending the connection to the mobile data network of the mobile phone. After one of the PAD and the PC is connected, the other one will be prompted that the connection fails. That is, the device which is connected first can share the mobile data network of the mobile phone.

[0172] When supporting one-to-many connection: if both PAD and PC are in the trust circle, if there is a mobile phone in the trust circle that can provide a sharable mobile data network, the PAD and PC will both display a prompt to connect the mobile data network of the mobile phone, and after one of the PAD and PC is connected, the other one can also be connected, i.e., more than two devices share the mobile data network of one device.

[0173] Figure 13 An example diagram of a one-to-many connection scenario in the network sharing embodiment is shown. As shown in Figure 13 , a network sharing channel 1 is established between the mobile phone and the tablet, and a network sharing channel 2 is established between the mobile phone and the PC, so that the tablet and the PC can simultaneously use the mobile data network of the mobile phone to access the Internet.

[0174] Figure 14 An example diagram of a menu of the WLAN function in the setting interface of the tablet is shown. As shown in Figure 14 (a), the embodiment sets a "network sharing" function item in the menu of the WLAN function in the setting interface of the tablet. The content of the "network sharing" function item can include a function topic "network sharing", and a network sharing list under the function topic. The network sharing function list is used to display the device names of the devices that can currently provide a sharable mobile data network for the tablet. If there is no device that can provide a sharable mobile data network for the tablet, the network sharing list is empty.

[0175] For example, when the mobile phone "mobile phone 1" can provide a sharable mobile data network for the tablet, but the tablet has not established a network sharing channel with the mobile phone "mobile phone 1" (for example, the user selects the "cancel" option in the interface shown in Figure 3 (a), or the user selects the "stop using" option in the notification interface shown in Figure 4 (a) and actively disconnects the network sharing channel with the "mobile phone 1"), the "mobile phone 1" can be displayed in the network sharing list shown in Figure 14 (a).

[0176] Figure 14 In the network sharing list shown in (a), there is no "connected" indication content under the device name "mobile phone 1", which indicates that the tablet has not established a network sharing channel with the "mobile phone 1" at this time. In this case, if the user touches the device name "mobile phone 1" in the network sharing list, the tablet establishes a network sharing channel with the "mobile phone 1" in response to the touch operation. After the network sharing channel is successfully established, the "connected" indication content is displayed under the device name "mobile phone 1" in the network sharing list, to indicate that the tablet has established a network sharing channel with the "mobile phone 1" at this time, as shown inFigure 14 As shown in Figure (b).

[0177] Figure 15 This is an example diagram illustrating the interface changes of a PC in a scenario where the network sharing function is prompted, as shown in this embodiment.

[0178] Please see Figure 15 Figure (a) shows a network sharing prompt box 3 displayed on the PC interface when both the PC and the mobile phone "Mobile Phone 1" have Bluetooth and Wi-Fi enabled but are not connected to Wi-Fi, both are logged into the first account, and the hotspot function of "Mobile Phone 1" is not enabled. The network sharing prompt box 3 may include a message from the mobile phone providing the shareable mobile data network, "Use Mobile Phone 1's mobile data network to access the internet," and an option "Connect Now" to indicate connection to the mobile data network. It may also include a close icon "×" located in the upper right corner of the network sharing prompt box 3. The network sharing prompt box 3 is located in the lower right corner of the PC interface, above the status bar. The network sharing prompt box 3 does not obscure the status bar.

[0179] If the user clicks (e.g., single-clicks or double-clicks) the "Connect Now" option in the network sharing prompt box 3, the PC responds to the click operation, establishes a network sharing channel with the mobile phone "Mobile Phone 1", removes the network sharing prompt box 3 from the interface, and displays icon 2 in the status bar at the bottom of the PC interface. Figure 15 As shown in Figure (b).

[0180] Next, if the user clicks with the mouse (e.g., single-click or double-click)... Figure 15 In diagram (b), icon 2 in the status bar indicates that the PC responds to this click by displaying a traffic notification box in the lower right corner of the PC interface, above the status bar. Figure 15 As shown in Figure (c), the data usage notification box can include information on the mobile data usage consumed this time (100MB) and the cumulative mobile data usage consumed this month (300MB). If the user clicks the close icon "×" in the upper right corner of the data usage notification box, the PC will respond to the click operation by canceling the display of the data usage notification box on the PC interface and returning to the previous screen. Figure 15 The interface is shown in Figure (b). Of course, in other embodiments, the data usage notification box may also only display the mobile data usage consumed in this instance or the cumulative mobile data usage consumed this month.

[0181] like Figure 15 As shown in Figure (c), the data traffic notification box may also include a "Disconnect" option. When the user selects this option, the tablet responds to the selection of the "Disconnect" option by disconnecting the network sharing channel with the phone and canceling the display of icon 2 on the PC interface.

[0182] If the user clicks the close icon "X" in the upper right corner of the network sharing prompt box 3 in the (a) figure of the (a) figure Figure 15 , the PC machine responds to the clicking operation and does not establish a network sharing channel with the mobile phone "mobile phone 1", and cancels the display of the network sharing prompt box 3 on the interface of the PC machine.

[0183] In this embodiment, the connection of the network sharing channel can be disconnected in the following ways.

[0184] Method one: automatic disconnection method

[0185] Still taking the aforementioned tablet as an example.

[0186] After the screen is turned off for a period of time, if the tablet has no traffic usage (for example, the traffic is less than 1 MB / s for 5 minutes, which can be considered as no traffic usage), the network sharing channel can be automatically disconnected.

[0187] For the screen-off automatic disconnection scenario, if there is no network after the tablet is turned on next time, and the connectable mobile phone is still the last cached mobile phone, the network sharing channel can be automatically established with the last cached mobile phone. (A period of time, for example, within half an hour) Any other interrupted scenario needs to manually establish the network sharing channel again.

[0188] Therefore, in one example, if the tablet that has established a network sharing channel with a mobile phone (for example, the aforementioned mobile phone 1) is in a screen-off state for a second time length, and the traffic of the tablet using mobile data is less than a first traffic for a third time length, the tablet automatically disconnects the network sharing channel with the mobile phone.

[0189] Thereafter, if the tablet enters a screen-on state and finds that there is no available Wi-Fi, and the mobile phone "mobile phone 1" provides a sharable mobile data network, the tablet automatically establishes a network sharing channel with "mobile phone 1".

[0190] Method two: manual disconnection method

[0191] Still taking the aforementioned tablet as an example.

[0192] If the tablet has established a network sharing channel with the mobile phone "mobile phone 1", the user can perform an operation of selecting the "disconnect" option in the network sharing notification prompt box of the notification interface of the mobile phone "mobile phone 1" (see the (b) figure of the (a) figure). Figure 4 The mobile phone responds to the operation and disconnects the network sharing channel between all devices (including the tablet) using the mobile data network of "mobile phone 1".

[0193] It can be seen that if the connection of the network sharing channel is disconnected at the mobile phone end, the network sharing channels of all devices connected to the mobile phone end are disconnected.

[0194] If the tablet has already established a network sharing channel with the phone "Phone 1", the user can select the "Stop using" option in the network sharing notification prompt box on the tablet's notification screen (see [link]). Figure 4 In response to the operation shown in Figure (a), the tablet disconnects the network sharing channel with "Mobile Phone 1".

[0195] As can be seen, if the network sharing channel connection is disconnected on the device side (such as a PAD, PC, or vehicle-mounted system), only this device disconnects from the network sharing channel connection with the mobile phone.

[0196] Regardless of the disconnection method, if only one device was connected before disconnection, such as a tablet and a phone with a shared network connection, then after the connection is broken, Figure 4 In Figures (a) and (b), the network sharing notification pop-up in the notification interface disappears, meaning that both the tablet and the phone no longer display the network sharing notification pop-up in their own notification interface.

[0197] If at least two devices, such as a tablet and a PC, were connected to the phone via a network sharing channel before the connection was disconnected, then after the tablet disconnects, the network sharing notification pop-up on the tablet's notification screen will disappear, while the notification screens of the PC and the phone will retain the network sharing notification pop-up related to the PC.

[0198] If the network sharing channel between the PC and the mobile phone is disconnected.

[0199] If an anomaly occurs that causes the network sharing channel to be disconnected after the device has established a network sharing channel with the mobile phone, an anomaly message will be displayed on the device's interface.

[0200] Figure 16 The following are example diagrams illustrating the interface of a tablet under various abnormal scenarios. Figure 17 The following are example diagrams illustrating the interface of a PC under various abnormal scenarios.

[0201] Please see Figure 16 and Figure 17 When the hotspot function is enabled on the mobile phone, both the tablet and PC displays the first error message: "Network sharing has stopped. Mobile 1 has enabled hotspot, but cannot share the network." The error messages are as follows: Figure 16 Figure (a) and Figure 17 As shown in Figure (a).

[0202] When the mobile phone is connected to WLAN, both the tablet and PC displays the second error message: "Network sharing has stopped. Mobile 1 is connected to WLAN but cannot share the network." The error messages are as follows: Figure 16 Figure (b) and Figure 17As shown in Figure (b).

[0203] When any of the following occurs on the phone side: SIM card removal, cellular communication module shutdown, or automatic disconnection after a long period of connection, the third abnormal message "Network sharing has stopped, connection to phone 1 has been disconnected" will be displayed on the tablet and PC interfaces, respectively as follows: Figure 16 Figure (c) and Figure 17 As shown in Figure (c).

[0204] When the phone temperature is too high (e.g., the phone temperature exceeds the preset temperature threshold), both the tablet and PC interfaces display the fourth abnormal message: "Due to the phone temperature being too high, high temperature protection has been activated, network sharing has been stopped, and the connection with phone 1 has been disconnected." Figure 16 (d) diagram and Figure 17 As shown in Figure (d).

[0205] As can be seen, in the event of an anomaly, the device will disconnect from the network sharing channel with the mobile phone and display an error message on the device's interface. This error message may include information indicating that network sharing has stopped, as well as information about the cause of the anomaly.

[0206] Figure 18 This is a structural block diagram of an electronic device in this embodiment, as an example. Figure 18 As shown, the electronic device includes a network sharing service, which comprises modules such as device management, traffic control, and conflict management. Furthermore, the network sharing service controls the UI logic and display content related to network sharing in modules such as the control center, service entry / settings, signal bars, and traffic notifications based on information obtained from the device management, traffic control, and conflict management modules.

[0207] Electronic devices achieve network sharing functionality through modules such as network sharing services, NetworkSynergy, magicLink, P2P network cards, DGW, netd, CM, control center, service entry / settings, signal bar, and traffic notification.

[0208] It should be noted that in order to use the network sharing function, both the mobile phone and the device (such as a tablet, PC, etc.) need to have the network sharing function enabled beforehand.

[0209] For instructions on how to enable the phone's network sharing function, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 19 . Figure 19 This is an example illustration of a mobile phone with network sharing enabled. Figure 19 As shown, the phone's smart connectivity application includes a network sharing function. When the phone's network sharing function is enabled, the right side of this function will display "Enabled," as shown below. Figure 19As shown in (a) of FIG. 1, when the network sharing function item is touched, the network sharing function switch is displayed. Figure 19 As shown in (b) of FIG. 1, the network sharing function switch is in an open state.

[0210] If it is desired to close the network sharing function of the mobile phone, the network sharing function switch in (b) of FIG. 1 is touched, so that the network sharing function switch is switched to a closed state, at which time, Figure 19 As shown in (a) of FIG. 1, when the network sharing function item is touched, the network sharing function switch is displayed. Figure 19 As shown in (b) of FIG. 1, the network sharing function switch is in an open state. Figure 19 As shown in (a) of FIG. 1, when the network sharing function item is touched, the network sharing function switch is displayed.

[0211] The manner in which the network sharing function of the tablet is opened is described in detail in Figure 20 . Figure 20 FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of an interface of a tablet with an opened network sharing function, which is shown by way of example. As shown in (a) of FIG. 2, the setting application is opened, and after the "smart interconnection" function item is selected, the right side of the tablet is split to display the "network sharing" function interface, which includes a network sharing function switch, Figure 20 As shown in (b) of FIG. 2, the network sharing function switch in (a) of FIG. 2 is in an open state. If it is desired to close the network sharing function of the tablet, the network sharing function switch in (b) of FIG. 2 is touched, so that the network sharing function switch is switched to a closed state. In this way, by opening or closing the network sharing function switch in (b) of FIG. 2, the network sharing function of the tablet can be controlled. Figure 20 As shown in (b) of FIG. 2, the network sharing function switch is in an open state. If it is desired to close the network sharing function of the tablet, the network sharing function switch in (b) of FIG. 2 is touched, so that the network sharing function switch is switched to a closed state. In this way, by opening or closing the network sharing function switch in (b) of FIG. 2, the network sharing function of the tablet can be controlled. Figure 20 As shown in (a) of FIG. 2, when the network sharing function item is touched, the network sharing function switch is displayed. Figure 20 As shown in (a) of FIG. 2, when the network sharing function item is touched, the network sharing function switch is displayed.

[0212] The network sharing method of the embodiment does not interfere with functions such as multi-screen cooperation and distributed camera, and reduces the difficulty of triggering the network sharing function.

[0213] The network sharing method of the embodiment actively prompts the user in the device interface that network sharing is available under the condition of meeting the network sharing, so that the user can use the network sharing function very conveniently according to the prompt, reduces the user operation, and improves the user experience.

[0214] The network sharing method of the embodiment has fewer restrictions on using the network sharing function, and supports one-to-many network sharing.
