[0027] Embodiments of the present application are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present application, and should not be construed as limiting the present application.

[0028] The following describes a method and apparatus for network sharing between devices in an embodiment of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] Figure 1 is a flow chart of a network sharing method between devices according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 1 As shown, the network sharing method between devices in the embodiment of the present application includes but is not limited to the following steps:

[0030] S101: Send networking information of a virtual local area network created by a first device to a second device through a first network.

[0031] It should be noted that the execution subject of the network sharing method between devices in the embodiment of the present application is an electronic device. Optionally, the electronic device may include a user terminal, a computer and other intelligent devices. Among them, the user terminal includes but is not limited to a mobile phone, a tablet computer, an intelligent voice interaction device, etc.

[0032] In the embodiment of the present application, the Internet connection of the second device can be shared with the first device. That is, the second device can be used as a network provider and the first device can be used as a network user. For example, the second device can be a smart phone and the first device can be a tablet computer.

[0033] It can be understood that a virtual LAN can divide a network into multiple logically independent sub-networks, thereby isolating different devices to improve the security of the network.

[0034] In some implementations, the first device may create a virtual local area network based on a peer-to-peer (P2P) network card, and send the networking information of the virtual local area network to the second device through the first network. Optionally, the network identifier and network key of the virtual local area network may be sent to the second device as the networking information. The network identifier is used to distinguish and identify the virtual local area network, and the network key is used to join the virtual local area network.

[0035] In some implementations, the first network refers to the network communication established between the first device and the second device. Optionally, the Bluetooth communication established between the first device and the second device can be used as the first network, and then the networking information of the virtual local area network created by the first device is sent to the second device.

[0036] S102: Receive, through the first network, a network access request sent by a second device based on networking information, wherein the network access request is used to request to join a virtual local area network.

[0037] In some implementations, the first device may add the second device to the virtual local area network based on a network access request of the second device, wherein the network access request is generated based on the networking information, and the network access request is used to request to join the virtual local area network.

[0038] In some implementations, the first device and the second device communicate based on the first network, and the first device can receive a network access request sent by the second device through the first network. Optionally, the virtual local area network of the first device can be determined based on the network identifier of the virtual local area network, and then the network access request of the virtual local area network can be generated based on the network key.

[0039] S103, receiving network information of a second network sent by the second device through the first network after the second device successfully joins the network, wherein the second network is a data network accessed by the second device.

[0040] In some implementations, after receiving the network access request of the second device, the first device adds the second device to the virtual local area network to reduce the power consumption loss of the device. The second network refers to the data network accessed by the second device. For example, the second network can be the data network of the second device, a cellular network, etc.

[0041] In some implementations, the identification information and Internet Protocol (IP) address of the second network can be sent to the first device as the network information of the second network. Alternatively, the identification information of the Domain Name System (DNS) server corresponding to the second network can be used as the identification information of the second network.

[0042] S104: Perform shared registration on the second network based on the network information.

[0043] In some implementations, after receiving the network information of the second network, the first device can perform shared registration of the second network based on the network information of the second network, so that the first device can use the second network. Optionally, the shared registration of the second network can be achieved by configuring the DNS server and gateway of the first device.

[0044] Optionally, the DNS server identification information of the second network may be configured as the DNS server identification information of the first device, and the IP address of the second network may be configured as the gateway of the first device to complete the network sharing registration.

[0045] In the network sharing method between devices provided in the embodiment of the present application, the first device establishes a virtual local area network and sends the networking information of the virtual local area network to the second device through the first network, so that the second device can join the virtual local area network and send the network information of the second network to the first device. The first device can share the second network based on the network information, which reduces the power consumption of the device when sharing the network, improves the transmission rate of the shared network, and increases the battery life of the device.

[0046] Figure 2 is a flow chart of a network sharing method between devices according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 2 As shown, the network sharing method between devices in the embodiment of the present application includes but is not limited to the following steps:

[0047] S201, determining a network identifier of a virtual local area network and key information of the virtual local area network as networking information of the virtual local area network.

[0048] In some implementations, a virtual local area network creation process may be performed on a peer-to-peer P2P network card in the first device to obtain a virtual local area network, and the role of the first device in the virtual local area network may be registered as the owner of the virtual local area network, so as to manage other devices in the virtual local area network.

[0049] Optionally, the VLAN networking information can be configured by starting a daemon process, and the daemon process switches the mode of the point-to-point P2P network card in the first device to the management mode to simulate a wireless access point (AP) to obtain a VLAN.

[0050] It is understandable that the role of the simulated wireless access point AP is to create a wireless network, such as a virtual local area network, allowing wireless devices (such as mobile phones, tablets, etc.) to connect to the network. In other words, the first device starts the daemon process and configures the first device as the owner of the virtual local area network to manage the P2P network card, and then can create a virtual local area network, such as configuring the virtual local area network's identification, IP address, key and other operations.

[0051] Furthermore, the network identifier of the virtual local area network and the key information of the virtual local area network may be used as the networking information of the virtual local area network so that other devices can recognize and join the virtual local area network.

[0052] S202: Send networking information to the second device through the first network.

[0053] In some implementations, in order to achieve a communication connection between the first device and the second device, before sending the networking information to the second device, it is necessary to establish network communication between the first device and the second device, that is, to establish a first network.

[0054] Optionally, the first device may search for broadcast information sent by a candidate device near the first device. Based on the broadcast information, a connection request for establishing a first network connection is sent to the candidate device. The first network is successfully established by receiving connection confirmation information sent by the second device. The second device is a target device determined among the candidate devices to establish the first network with the first device.

[0055] Furthermore, the first device sends networking information to the second device via the first network, wherein the networking information includes a network identifier of the virtual local area network and key information of the virtual local area network.

[0056] S203: Receive, through the first network, a network access request sent by the second device based on the networking information, wherein the network access request is used to request to join a virtual local area network.

[0057] In the embodiment of the present application, the implementation method of step S203 can be implemented by any method in the embodiments of the present application, which is not limited here and will not be repeated.

[0058] S204, receiving network information of a second network sent by the second device through the first network after the second device successfully joins the network, wherein the second network is a data network accessed by the second device.

[0059] In some implementations, the second network is a data network accessed by the second device, that is, a network shared with the first device. The network information includes second identification information of a Domain Name System (DNS) server corresponding to the second device and an Internet Protocol (IP) address of a P2P network card of the second device.

[0060] Optionally, the first device may receive network information sent by the second device through the first network.

[0061] S205: Perform shared registration on the second network based on the network information.

[0062] In some implementations, after receiving the network information, the network information of the second network device can be registered in the connection service of the first device by configuring the first identification information of the DNS server of the first device as the second identification information and configuring the gateway of the first device based on the IP address to share the second network.

[0063] In some implementations, after the first device implements network sharing, data packets can be transmitted between the first device and the application server through the second network.

[0064] In the network sharing method between devices provided in the embodiment of the present application, the first device establishes a virtual local area network based on a point-to-point P2P network card, and sends the networking information of the virtual local area network to the second device through the first network, so that the second device can join the virtual local area network and send the network information of the second network to the first device. The first device can share the second network based on the network information, which reduces the power consumption of the device when sharing the network, improves the transmission rate of the shared network, and increases the battery life of the device.

[0065] Figure 3 is a flow chart of a network sharing method between devices according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 3 As shown, the network sharing method between devices in the embodiment of the present application includes but is not limited to the following steps:

[0066] S301, receiving, via a first network, networking information of a virtual local area network created by a first device and sent by a first device.

[0067] In some implementations, the second device needs to establish network communication with the first device before communicating with the first device. Optionally, the second device can send the network identifier of the first network by broadcasting, and then receive the connection request sent by the first device to establish the first network connection, establish network connection communication with the first device, and send connection confirmation information to the first device, indicating that the first network connection is successful.

[0068] Furthermore, the second device may receive networking information of the virtual local area network created by the first device based on the established first network, wherein the networking information includes a network identifier of the virtual local area network and key information of the virtual local area network.

[0069] S302: Send a network access request to a first device through a first network, where the network access request is determined based on networking information and is used to request to join a virtual local area network.

[0070] In some implementations, after receiving the networking information, the second device may configure the role of the second device in the virtual local area network as a group member of the virtual local area network, and generate a network access request based on the networking information to join the virtual local area network.

[0071] S303: After the network access is successful, network information of the second network is sent to the first device through the first network, where the second network is a data network accessed by the second device.

[0072] In some implementations, after the second device joins the virtual local area network, the network sharing function of the second device is started, and the second network is set as a modem, wherein the network sharing function is used to constrain the second device to only forward data packets related to the virtual local area network. That is, after the second device starts network sharing, it only acts as a device for forwarding data packets.

[0073] Further, the second identification information of the DNS server of the second network and the IP address of the P2P network card of the second device are obtained as the network information of the second network, and the network information of the second network is sent to the first device through the first network. The second network is a data network connected to the second device. For example, the second network can be a data network of the second device, a cellular network, etc.

[0074] In the network sharing method between devices provided in the embodiment of the present application, the second device sends a network access request to the first device by receiving the networking information of the virtual local area network, so as to join the virtual local area network. By configuring the second device as a group member of the virtual local area network, the power consumption of the second device when sharing the network can be reduced. By sending the network information of the second network to the first device, the first device can share the second network based on the network information, which reduces the power consumption of the device when sharing the network, improves the transmission rate of the shared network, and increases the battery life of the device.

[0075] like Figure 4 Schematic diagram of the process of network sharing between devices shown. Figure 4 The first network between the first device and the second device is Bluetooth communication. The first device creates a virtual local area network based on the P2P network card by starting a daemon process (HostApd). By configuring the role of the first device in the virtual local area network as the owner (Group Owner, GO) of the virtual local area network, and sending the networking information of the virtual local area network to the second device via Bluetooth. After receiving the networking information, the second device configures the role of the second device in the virtual local area network as a group member (Group client, GC) of the virtual local area network, and generates a network access request to join the virtual local area network and sends it to the first device. When the second device joins the virtual local area network, the network sharing function is started to constrain the second device to forward data packets related to the virtual local area network, and the second network is set as a modem. The second device sends the second identification information of the DNS server of the second network and the IP address of the P2P network card of the second device as network information to the first device via Bluetooth. The first device registers for the shared network in the connection service so that the application can use the second network to access the Internet.

[0076] Figure 5 is an interaction diagram of a network sharing method between devices according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 5 As shown, the network sharing method between devices in the embodiment of the present application includes but is not limited to the following steps:

[0077] S501: The second device broadcasts a network identifier of a first network.

[0078] S502: The first device sends a connection request for establishing a first network connection to the second device based on the broadcast information.

[0079] S503: The second device sends connection confirmation information to the first device.

[0080] S504: The first device creates a virtual local area network, and registers the role of the first device in the virtual local area network as an owner of the virtual local area network.

[0081] S505: The first device sends networking information of the virtual local area network to the second device.

[0082] S506: The second device configures the role of the second device in the virtual local area network as a group member of the virtual local area network.

[0083] S507: The second device sends a network access request to the first device.

[0084] S508: The second device starts the network sharing function.

[0085] S509: The second device sends network information of the second network to the first device.

[0086] S510: The first device performs shared registration on the second network based on the network information.

[0087] In the network sharing method between devices provided in the embodiment of the present application, the first device establishes a virtual local area network and sends the networking information of the virtual local area network to the second device, and the second device sends a network access request to the first device based on the networking information to join the virtual local area network. By configuring the second device as a group member of the virtual local area network, the power consumption of the second device when sharing the network can be reduced. The second device starts the network sharing function and sends the network information of the second network to the first device, so that the first device can share the second network based on the network information, thereby reducing the power consumption of the device when sharing the network, improving the transmission rate of the shared network, and increasing the battery life of the device.

[0088] The following is an example of network sharing using a tablet computer and a smart phone. Figure 6The diagram shows an interactive diagram of network sharing. The first device is a tablet computer, and the second device is a smart phone. The smart phone establishes Bluetooth communication with the tablet computer by sending a Bluetooth broadcast to the tablet computer. The user can manually select the target device for Bluetooth connection on the tablet computer and connect to the target device (smart phone) via Bluetooth. After the connection is successful, a connection success message can be sent to the tablet computer. The tablet computer establishes a virtual local area network through the P2P network card, configures itself as the owner of the virtual local area network (Group Owner, GO), and sends networking information to the smart phone. After receiving the networking information, the smart phone configures the smart phone as a group member (Group client, GC) of the virtual local area network, and generates a network access request to join the virtual local area network. The smart phone starts network sharing and sends the DNS server identification information and the IP address of the P2P network card to the tablet computer via Bluetooth. Based on the DNS server identification information and the IP address of the P2P network card, the tablet computer registers for the shared network and realizes network sharing with the smart phone.
