Technical Field

[0001] This application is filed based on a Chinese patent application with an application number of 202210784298.4 and a filing date of July 5, 2022, and claims the priority of the Chinese patent application. All the contents of the Chinese patent application are incorporated herein by reference.

Background Art

[0003] Current mobile terminals usually preferentially select either a Wi-Fi network or a mobile network based on the access level detected in real time for the Wi-Fi network and the mobile network, or the default priority setting by the user. However, different types of applications running on the mobile terminal have different needs for network quality. For example, when an application is used to watch a video, the requirement for the throughput rate of the application is higher, and when an application is used to play a game, the requirement for the latency of the application is high. However, the current network connection method of the mobile terminal does not consider the needs of the application for network quality, so the selected network cannot properly meet the user's network access needs.

By combining the type of the current application running on the mobile terminal with the requirements for network service quality and dynamically connecting to a network that meets the requirements, an optimal network service is provided, improving the user's network experience.

[0013] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present application will be further described with reference to the drawings.

[0014] Embodiments of the present application provide a network connection method. Referring to FIG. 2, FIG. 2 is a flowchart of the network connection method. The network connection method includes the following steps S100 to S500, but is not limited thereto.

[0015] Step S100: Obtain the first network quality parameter of the first network and the second network quality parameter of the second network.

[0016] Step S200: Obtain the application type of the current application running on the mobile terminal and the required network quality parameter.

[0017] Step S300: Obtain parameter priority items according to the application type.

[0018] Step S400: According to the parameter priority items, determine multiple target parameters of the same type among the first network quality parameter, the second network quality parameter, and the required network quality parameter, compare the multiple target parameters to perform network selection, and obtain a selection result.

[0019] Step S500: According to the selection result, determine and connect the target network among the first network and the second network.

[0020] The mobile terminal 100 is a terminal device that can access the Internet by wireless network technology and can be used during movement. Its mobility is mainly reflected in the mobile communication ability and the portable volume. The mobile terminal 100 may include a mobile phone, a notebook computer, a tablet computer, etc.

[0021] The first network is a Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) network. The Wi-Fi technology is a wireless local area network technology created based on the IEEE 802.11 standard. The mobile terminal 100 can perform Wi-Fi connection within the signal coverage range of the wireless data terminal 200. The second network is a mobile network, specifically, it may be a 4G mobile network or a 5G mobile network. The first network and the second network are two different networks. Furthermore, the first network and the second network are two different types of networks. Of course, in other embodiments, the first network and the second network may be other types of networks.

[0022] The mobile terminal 100 has the ability to make a Wi-Fi connection via a Wi-Fi network and also has the ability to make a network connection via a 4G mobile network or a 5G mobile network.

[0023] The Wi-Fi network is easily restricted by factors such as transmission distance, partitions, and obstacles like walls. When the radio signal transmits, it attenuates, and the coverage may shrink. When the distance between the mobile terminal 100 and the router is far or there is a partition, the mobile terminal 100 can detect the Wi-Fi signal, but due to the weak Wi-Fi signal, the network service quality of the Wi-Fi network becomes low, and it is not smooth for the user to access the Internet via the Wi-Fi network. On the other hand, the 4G mobile network or 5G mobile network of the mobile terminal 100 is restricted by the distance from the base station, or the transmission signal of the 4G mobile network or 5G mobile network of the mobile terminal 100 is interfered, resulting in a low network service quality of the 4G mobile network or 5G mobile network, and it is not smooth for the user to access the Internet via the 4G mobile network or 5G mobile network. In this case, with this network connection method, the user does not need to manually switch the network, and automatic switching to the optimal network can be realized.

[0024] When a user accesses the Internet using the mobile terminal 100, the emphasis on the required network quality parameters varies for each service type. For example, when watching a video using the mobile terminal 100, it is necessary to cache the video online and prioritize the throughput rate. When playing a game using the mobile terminal 100, low latency is required for the game, and it is necessary to prioritize latency. With this network connection method, when the current application being executed by the user using the mobile terminal 100 requires low latency and there is high latency in the current network to which the mobile terminal 100 is connected, or when the current application being executed by the user using the mobile terminal 100 requires a high throughput rate and there is a low throughput rate in the current network to which the mobile terminal 100 is connected, the user does not need to manually switch the network. Instead, the mobile terminal 100 can comprehensively consider the type of the current application being executed and the required network quality parameters, and realize automatic switching to the optimal network.

[0025] Referring to FIG. 3, step S100 of obtaining the first network quality parameter of the first network and the second network quality parameter of the second network includes, but is not limited to, the following steps S110 and S120.

[0026] Step S110: Obtain the first throughput rate and the first latency of the first network.

[0027] Step S120: Obtain the second throughput rate and the second latency of the second network.

[0028] In step S110, in this embodiment, the first throughput rate and the first latency of the first network are obtained, that is, the throughput rate and the latency of the Wi-Fi network path of the mobile terminal 100 are obtained.

[0029] In step S120, in this embodiment, the second throughput rate and the second delay of the second network are obtained, that is, the throughput rate and the delay of the mobile network path of the mobile terminal 100 are obtained.

[0030] The throughput rate and the delay are two parameters that reflect the network service quality (QoS). In other embodiments, other QoS parameters such as the packet loss rate of the transmitted data, the bandwidth of the network transmission, and the delay jitter may be used as the first network quality parameter of the first network and the second network quality parameter of the second network.

[0031] Referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the connection among the mobile terminal 100, the wireless data terminal 200, and the network providing side 300. The mobile terminal 100 and the wireless data terminal 200 are connected via a first network, that is, the mobile terminal 100 and the wireless data terminal 200 are Wi-Fi connected via a Wi-Fi network. The wireless data terminal 200 has a connection WAN interface to a 4G mobile network or a 5G mobile network, and the wireless data terminal 200 and the network providing side 300 realize a network connection via a 4G mobile network or a 5G mobile network. Also, the mobile terminal 100 is connected to the network providing side 300 via a 4G mobile network or a 5G mobile network. The network providing side 300 to which the mobile terminal 100 and the wireless data terminal 200 are connected may be the same or two different ones. Specifically, the wireless data terminal 200 is a router, and the network providing side 300 is a base station. When the wireless data terminal 200 and the base station are connected by 4G network technology, the wireless data terminal 200 and the base station realize a Public Data Network (PDN) connection. When the wireless data terminal 200 and the base station are connected by 5G network technology, the wireless data terminal 200 and the base station are connected by a Protocol Data Unit (PDU) session.

[0032] Referring to FIG. 4, step S110 of obtaining the first throughput rate and the first delay of the first network includes, but is not limited to, the following steps S111 to S113.

[0033] Step S111: Obtain the third throughput rate and the third delay of the wireless data terminal corresponding to the network providing side.

[0034] Step S112: Obtain the first throughput rate based on the third throughput rate.

[0035] Step S113: Obtain a first delay based on a third delay.

[0036] In step S111, when the wireless data terminal 200 establishes a network connection with the base station and the 4G mobile network or the 5G mobile network, the base station distributes a third throughput rate and a third delay via the 4G mobile network or the 5G mobile network. When the wireless data terminal 200 receives the third throughput rate and the third delay distributed from the base station, it stores the third throughput rate and the third delay in the memory within the wireless data terminal 200 device.

[0037] Referring to FIG. 5, the step of obtaining the third throughput rate and the third delay of the wireless data terminal 200 corresponding to the network providing side 300 includes, but is not limited to, the following steps S1111 and S1112.

[0038] Step S1111: Transmit a query request message to the wireless data terminal.

[0039] Step S1112: Receive response information transmitted from the wireless data terminal and corresponding to the query request message, where the response information includes a third throughput rate and a third delay.

[0040] After establishing a network connection with the wireless data terminal 200 via the first network, the mobile terminal 100 sends a query request message to the wireless data terminal 200 via the first network, and inquires about the third throughput rate and the third delay of the wireless data terminal 200 corresponding to the network provider 300. When the wireless data terminal 200 receives the query request message sent from the mobile terminal 100, after reading out the third throughput rate and the third delay stored in the internal memory, it sends the response information corresponding to the query request message to the mobile terminal 100, and the response information includes the information of the third throughput rate and the third delay. The mobile terminal 100 receives the response information sent from the wireless data terminal 200, and further obtains the third throughput rate and the third delay of the wireless data terminal 200 corresponding to the network provider 300.

[0041] In steps S112 and S113, in the simplest case, the throughput rate and the delay obtained by the mobile terminal 100 from the wireless data terminal 200 are directly treated as the throughput rate and the delay of the Wi-Fi network path of the mobile terminal 100. That is, based on the third throughput rate, the step of obtaining the first throughput rate is specifically to set the third throughput rate as the first throughput rate, and based on the third delay, the step of obtaining the first delay is specifically to set the third delay as the first delay.

[0042] However, generally, the Wi-Fi network connection between the mobile terminal 100 and the wireless data terminal 200 affects the throughput rate and the delay of the Wi-Fi network path. Therefore, when calculating the first throughput rate and the first delay from the third throughput rate and the third delay, it is necessary to consider this influence.

[0043] When the negotiation throughput rate between the mobile terminal 100 and the wireless data terminal 200 is smaller than the data throughput rate of the network service quality of the 4G mobile network or 5G mobile network connection of the wireless data terminal 200, the negotiation throughput rate of the Wi-Fi network path becomes a bottleneck, and the throughput rate of the Wi-Fi network path is limited, and it cannot reach the third throughput rate of the 4G mobile network or 5G mobile network connection of the wireless data terminal 200. Based on the third throughput rate, the step of obtaining the first throughput rate is specifically to obtain the negotiation throughput rate between the mobile terminal 100 and the wireless data terminal 200, and select the one with the smallest numerical value among the third throughput rate and the negotiation throughput rate as the first throughput rate. That is, when the third throughput rate is larger than the negotiation throughput rate, the negotiation throughput rate is used as the first throughput rate of the first network; when the third throughput rate is smaller than the negotiation throughput rate, the third throughput rate is used as the first throughput rate of the first network.

[0044] The Wi-Fi network connection between the mobile terminal 100 and the wireless data terminal 200 adds additional delay to the delay of the network service quality of the 4G mobile network or 5G mobile network connection of the wireless data terminal 200, obtains the additional delay between the mobile terminal 100 and the wireless data terminal 200 through actual measurement, and considers this additional delay in the delay of the Wi-Fi network connection to obtain the actual delay of the Wi-Fi network connection. Based on the third delay, the step of obtaining the first delay includes the step of obtaining the additional delay between the mobile terminal 100 and the wireless data terminal 200, and the step of using the sum of the third delay and the additional delay as the first delay.

[0045] In step S120, the mobile terminal 100 is connected to the base station via a 4G mobile network or 5G mobile network. The throughput rate and delay of the mobile network path of the mobile terminal 100 are obtained through actual measurement.

[0046] In step S200, when the user accesses the Internet using the mobile terminal 100, the emphasis on the required network quality parameters varies for each service type. For example, when watching a video using the mobile terminal 100, it is necessary to cache the video online and prioritize the throughput rate. When playing a game using the mobile terminal 100, low latency is required for the game, and it is necessary to prioritize latency. In order to select a network connection by comprehensively considering the application type and required network quality parameters of the current application, the mobile terminal 100 obtains the application type and required network quality parameters of the current application being executed.

[0047] Here, the required network quality parameters are the requirements for the network service quality of the current application being executed by the mobile terminal 100. For example, if a throughput rate of 1 Mbit / s is required as the throughput rate of the current application being executed by the mobile terminal 100, the throughput rate of 1 Mbit / s is the current required network quality parameter of the mobile terminal 100.

[0048] In step S300, obtain parameter priority items for determining the type of network quality parameter prioritized in network selection according to the application type. For example, if the current application being executed by the mobile terminal 100 is video viewing and it is necessary to prioritize the throughput rate, the parameter priority item is the throughput rate. If the current application being executed by the mobile terminal 100 is a game and it is necessary to prioritize latency, the parameter priority item is latency. In other embodiments, according to actual needs, other network service quality parameters such as the packet loss rate of transmitted data, the bandwidth of network transmission, and delay jitter may be selected as parameter priority items.

[0049] Step S400: According to the parameter priority item, determine multiple target parameters of the same type among the first network quality parameter, the second network quality parameter, and the required network quality parameter, compare the multiple target parameters to perform network selection, and obtain a selection result.

[0050] Referring to FIG. 6, in one aspect, when the parameter priority item is delay, step S400 includes, but is not limited to, the following steps S411 to S414.

[0051] Step S411: Determine that the first delay and the second delay are target parameters.

[0052] Step S412: Compare the first delay and the second delay to obtain a first comparison result.

[0053] Step S413: When the first comparison result is that the second delay is less than or equal to the first delay, set the selection result as the second network.

[0054] Step S414: When the first comparison result is that the second delay is greater than the first delay, set the selection result as the first network.

[0055] When the parameter priority item is delay, determine the target parameter of the delay type from among the first network quality parameter, the second network quality parameter, and the required network quality parameter, that is, determine the first delay and the second delay as the target parameters. Compare the numerical values of the first delay of the Wi-Fi network and the second delay of the mobile network, and select the network with lower delay from among the Wi-Fi network and the mobile network as the connection network. When the second delay is less than or equal to the first delay, set the selection result as the mobile network; when the second delay is greater than the first delay, set the selection result as the Wi-Fi network.

[0056] Referring to FIG. 7, in another aspect, when the parameter priority item is the throughput rate, step S400 includes, but is not limited to, the following steps S421 to S425.

[0057] Step S421: Determine that the first throughput rate, the second throughput rate, and the required throughput rate are target parameters.

[0058] Step S422: Compare the first throughput rate, the second throughput rate, and the required throughput rate to obtain a second comparison result.

[0059] Step S423: When the second comparison result is that the first throughput rate is greater than or equal to the required throughput rate, set the selection result to the first network.

[0060] Step S424: When the second comparison result is that the first throughput rate is less than the required throughput rate and the first throughput rate is greater than or equal to the second throughput rate, set the selection result to the first network.

[0061] Step S425: When the second comparison result is that the first throughput rate is less than the required throughput rate and the first throughput rate is less than the second throughput rate, set the selection result to the second network.

[0062] When the parameter priority item is the throughput rate, determine the target parameter of the throughput rate type from among the first network quality parameter, the second network quality parameter, and the required network quality parameter, that is, determine the first throughput rate, the second throughput rate, and the required throughput rate as the target parameters. Compare the numerical values of the first throughput rate, the second throughput rate, and the required throughput rate. Prioritize comparing the magnitude of the first throughput rate of the Wi-Fi network and the required throughput rate of the current application being executed by the mobile device to check whether the first throughput rate of the Wi-Fi network meets the required throughput rate of the current application being executed by the mobile device. If the first throughput rate of the Wi-Fi network is greater than or equal to the required throughput rate of the current application being executed by the mobile device, the selection result is the Wi-Fi network. If the first throughput rate of the Wi-Fi network is less than the required throughput rate of the current application being executed by the mobile device, compare the numerical values of the first throughput rate of the Wi-Fi network and the second throughput rate of the mobile network, and it is necessary to select the network with the higher throughput rate between the Wi-Fi network and the mobile network as the connected network. If the first throughput rate of the Wi-Fi network is greater than or equal to the second throughput rate of the mobile network, the selection result is the Wi-Fi network. If the first throughput rate of the Wi-Fi network is less than the second throughput rate of the mobile network, the selection result is the mobile network.

[0063] Of course, in other embodiments, when adopting other network quality parameters, such as the packet loss rate, as the parameter priority item, among the first network quality parameter of the first network, the second network quality parameter of the second network, and the required network quality parameter of the current application being executed by the mobile terminal 100, the packet loss rate of the first network, the packet loss rate of the second network, and the packet loss rate required by the current application are selected as the target parameters, and the packet loss rate of the first network, the packet loss rate of the second network, and the packet loss rate required by the current application are compared to select the optimal network between the first network and the second network.

[0064] In step S500, according to the selection result, the target network is determined and connected between the first network and the second network. Specifically, when the selection result is the first network, that is, when the selection result is the Wi-Fi network, the mobile terminal 100 is connected to the Wi-Fi network. When the selection result is the second network, that is, when the selection result is the mobile network, the mobile terminal 100 is connected to the mobile network.

[0065] The above network connection method is similarly applicable to two or more networks.

[0066] The mobile terminal 100 is provided with a network connection display interface, and the user manually switches the network on the network connection display interface. In addition, the network connection display interface is provided with a switch item for turning on or off the above network connection method on the mobile terminal 100. When the user turns on this switch item, the mobile terminal 100 turns on the network connection method and executes it. When the user turns off this switch item, the mobile terminal 100 turns off the network connection method.

[0067] In one aspect, the mobile terminal 100 periodically executes the above network connection method, that is, periodically executes steps S100 to S500, and dynamically switches to an appropriate network path according to the actual application situation at that time. The mobile terminal 100 executes steps S100 to S500 every minute, for example. Of course, in other embodiments, the execution period may be set according to actual application requirements. Furthermore, the mobile terminal 100 sets input items in the network connection display interface, and the user can input a periodic parameter into the input item to cause the mobile terminal 100 to execute this network connection method according to the periodic parameter.

[0068] In another aspect, when the currently running application on the mobile terminal 100 is switched, the above network connection method is executed. The network previously connected by the mobile terminal 100 is selected by the network connection method according to the application type of the previous application. When the mobile terminal 100 switches the application, the mobile terminal 100 executes this network connection method, and according to the application type of the new application being executed, it checks for the optimal network from among the first network and the second network and reconnects.

[0069] The embodiments of the present application further provide a mobile terminal 100. Referring to FIG. 8, FIG. 8 is a configuration diagram of the mobile terminal 100.
