[0001] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0002] This application claims priority to a Chinese patent application filed with the Chinese Patent Office on June 14, 2023, with application number 202310708990.3 and application name “Network connection control method, terminal device and storage medium”, the entire contents of which are incorporated by reference into this application. Technical Field

[0003] The present application relates to the field of communications, and in particular to a network connection control method, a terminal device, and a storage medium. Background Art

[0004] Existing terminal devices can be connected to different Wi-Fi networks, for example, they can be connected to a 2.4G network or a 5G network. However, when using terminal devices, users often fix the terminal devices to one frequency band, such as fixing the terminal devices to a 2.4G network or a 5G network. However, the performance of Wi-Fi networks in different frequency bands varies. For example, the network rate of the 2.4G network is lower than the network rate of the 5G network, and the penetration and signal radiation capabilities of the 5G network are lower than those of the 2.4G network. If the terminal device is fixedly connected to the 2.4G network, it will not be able to obtain the high network speed service of the 5G network. If the terminal device is fixedly connected to the 5G network, then when the 5G network signal is blocked, the penetration and radiation capabilities of the 5G network signal are weakened, resulting in a low network rate, which affects the user's Internet experience.

[0005] Summary of the Invention

[0006] In view of the above, it is necessary to provide a network connection control method, electronic device and storage medium to solve the technical problem that a terminal device is fixedly connected to a Wi-Fi network, resulting in an inability to switch to a Wi-Fi network when the network rate of the Wi-Fi network is low.

[0007] In a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a network connection control method, which is applied in a terminal device, and the method includes: when the terminal device is connected to a first network, obtaining network hotspot information of a second network, the network rate of the second network is higher than the network rate of the first network, the first network and the second network are networks of different frequency bands in at least one dual-band router, and the at least one dual-band router separately sets the network hotspot of the first network and the network hotspot of the second network; if it is determined that the network hotspot information of the second network meets a preset condition, a prompt message is issued to indicate the existence of a network hotspot of the second network; if it is detected that the terminal device is not connected to the second network within a preset time after the prompt message is issued, the terminal device is connected to the second network. In the above scheme, when the terminal device is connected to the first network, if the network hotspot information of the second network obtained meets the preset condition, a prompt message is issued to indicate the existence of a network hotspot of the second network for the user to connect to, thereby facilitating the user to manually switch the network connected to the terminal device to the second network with a higher network rate or better network signal quality, thereby improving the network rate and network signal quality of the terminal device. In addition, if after the prompt message is sent, it is detected that the terminal device has not been connected to the second network within a preset time, the terminal device will be automatically connected to the second network, thereby automatically switching the terminal device's network to the second network, so that the terminal device can connect to the network with the highest speed.

[0008] In one embodiment of the present application, obtaining the network hotspot information of the second network includes: receiving broadcast information sent by a network device of the second network; and parsing the network hotspot information of the second network from the broadcast information, wherein the network hotspot information of the second network includes a device identification number of the network device of the second network, an identification number of the network hotspot of the second network, and a network identification number of the second network. In the above solution, the terminal device obtains the network hotspot information of the second network by scanning the surrounding broadcast information.

[0009] In one embodiment of the present application, the method further includes: obtaining a device identification number of a network device of the first network, an identification number of a network hotspot of the first network, and a network identification number of the first network.

[0010] In one embodiment of the present application, the determination that the network hotspot information of the second network meets the preset condition includes: if the device identification number of the network device of the second network is the same as the device identification number of the network device of the first network, and the identification number of the network hotspot of the second network is the same as the identification number of the network hotspot of the first network, determining that the network hotspot information of the second network meets the preset condition. In the above scheme, if the device identification number of the network device of the second network is the same as the device identification number of the network device of the first network, and the identification number of the network hotspot of the second network is the same as the identification number of the network hotspot of the first network, it can be determined that the second network and the first network are from the same network device, which facilitates the terminal device to switch between Wi-Fi networks under the same network device.

[0011] In one embodiment of the present application, the determination that the network hotspot information of the second network meets the preset condition includes: if the device identification number of the network device of the second network is different from the device identification number of the network device of the first network, but the network identification number of the second network matches the network identification number of the first network, determining that the network hotspot information of the second network meets the preset condition. In the above scheme, if the device identification number of the network device of the second network is different from the device identification number of the network device of the first network, but the network identification number of the second network matches the network identification number of the first network, it indicates that the second network and the first network belong to the same user's network, which facilitates the mobile phone to switch between the first network and the second network.

[0012] In an embodiment of the present application, the network identification number of the second network matches the network identification number of the first network, including: the network identification number of the second network has some fields identical to those of the network identification number of the first network.

[0013] In one embodiment of the present application, connecting the terminal device to the second network includes: if it is detected that the terminal device is in the screen-off state, obtaining the login password of the first network; sending a connection request carrying the login password of the first network to the network hotspot of the second network, and connecting to the network hotspot of the second network after the login password is verified. In the above solution, the terminal device is connected to the network hotspot of the second network when the terminal device is in the screen-off state, thereby achieving automatic connection or switching of networks without the user's perception.

[0014] In one embodiment of the present application, after sending a connection request carrying the login password of the first network to the network hotspot of the second network, and connecting to the network hotspot of the second network after the login password is verified, the method further includes: disconnecting the terminal device from the second network and recording the network hotspot information of the second network in the network list; sending a connection request carrying the login password of the first network to the network hotspot of the first network, and connecting to the network hotspot of the first network after the login password is verified. In the above technical solution, after disconnecting the terminal device from the second network, the terminal device reconnects to the network hotspot of the first network to avoid affecting the networking behavior of the user of the terminal device.

[0015] In one embodiment of the present application, after disconnecting the terminal device from the second network, the method further includes prompting the user that the terminal device has automatically selected a hotspot of the second network for connection, and prompting the user to connect the terminal device to the second network by selecting the network hotspot information of the second network recorded in the network list. In the above technical solution, the user can be prompted to connect the terminal device to the second network with a better network speed.

[0016] In one embodiment of the present application, after disconnecting the terminal device from the second network, the method further includes: if it is detected that the network speed of the terminal device has dropped to a preset speed value while connected to the first network, connecting the terminal device to the second network. In the above technical solution, if it is detected that the network speed of the terminal device has dropped to a preset speed value while connected to the first network, the terminal device can be automatically connected to the second network with a higher network speed, thereby increasing the network speed of the terminal device.

[0017] In one embodiment of the present application, after disconnecting the terminal device from the second network, the method further includes: when connected to the first network, if it is detected that the network signal quality of the terminal device has degraded to a preset signal quality value, connecting the terminal device to the second network. In the above technical solution, when it is detected that the network signal quality of the terminal device has degraded to a preset signal quality value when connected to the first network, the terminal device can be automatically connected to the second network with better network signal quality, thereby improving the network speed of the terminal device.

[0018] In one embodiment of the present application, connecting the terminal device to the second network includes: if it is detected that the terminal device is in a screen-off state, obtaining the login password of the first network from the network list; sending a connection request to the network hotspot of the second network using the login password of the first network, and connecting to the network hotspot of the first network after verification of the connection request fails. In the above technical solution, if the connection request sent to the network hotspot of the second network fails to be verified, the terminal device is connected to the network hotspot of the first network to ensure that the terminal device can normally connect to the network.

[0019] In one embodiment of the present application, the obtaining of the network hotspot information of the second network includes: obtaining the network signal strength of the second network, and obtaining the network hotspot information of the second network when the network signal strength is less than a preset signal strength value. In the above technical solution, when the terminal device is connected to the second network, if the network signal strength of the second network is less than a preset signal strength value, the network hotspot information of the first network is obtained, and when the obtained network hotspot information of the first network meets the preset conditions, a prompt message is issued to prompt that there is a network hotspot of the first network for the user to connect, thereby facilitating the user to manually switch the network connected to the terminal device to the first network with a higher network speed or better network signal quality, thereby improving the network speed and network signal quality of the terminal device. In addition, if it is detected that the terminal device has not been connected to the first network within the preset time, the terminal device is automatically connected to the first network, thereby automatically switching the network of the terminal device to the first network, so that the terminal device is connected to the optimal network.

[0020] In one embodiment of the present application, the sending of a prompt message to indicate the existence of a network hotspot of the second network includes: prompting the existence of a network hotspot of the second network through notification information, the notification message including a link address of a network connection interface, and the network connection interface is the network connection interface of the second network.

[0034] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this application belongs. The terms used in the specification of this application are for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only and are not intended to limit this application. It should be understood that, unless otherwise specified in this application, " / " means or. For example, A / B can mean A or B. "And / or" in this application is merely a way to describe the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that three relationships can exist.

For example, at least one of a, b or c can mean: a, b, c, a and b, a and c, b and c, a, b and c.

[0035] Existing terminal devices can connect to different Wi-Fi networks. For example, a dual-band home router supports both the 2.4GHz and 5G bands. The 2.4GHz band provides users with 2.4G network access, while the 5G band is used for 5G network access. However, when using terminal devices, users often permanently connect them to a single frequency band, such as a 2.4G network or a 5G network. However, the performance of different Wi-Fi networks varies. For example, when the network is functioning normally, the network speed of a 2.4G network is lower than that of a 5G network, and the penetration and signal radiation capabilities of a 5G network are lower than those of a 2.4G network. If a terminal device is permanently connected to a 2.4G network, it will not be able to access the high network speed of the 5G network. If a terminal device is permanently connected to a 5G network, the penetration and radiation capabilities of the 5G network will be further weakened if the 5G network signal is blocked, resulting in a low Wi-Fi network speed and affecting the user's Internet experience. Therefore, if the terminal device is fixedly connected to a Wi-Fi network, it is impossible for the terminal device to connect to the optimal network.

[0036] In order to solve the technical problem that a terminal device is fixedly connected to a Wi-Fi network, resulting in the inability to switch to a Wi-Fi network when the network rate of the Wi-Fi network is low. An embodiment of the present application provides a network connection control method. Referring to Figure 1, there is shown an application scenario diagram of the network connection control method provided in an embodiment of the present application. The terminal device 10 can be connected to a first network 20 and a second network 30. The network connection control method is used to control the terminal device 10 to connect to one of the first network 20 or the second network 30. For example, if the network rate of the second network 30 is higher than the network rate of the first network 20, the network connection control method provided in the embodiment of the present application can control the terminal device 10 to connect to the second network 30. If the location of the terminal device 10 changes, resulting in the network rate of the first network 20 being higher than the network rate of the second network 30 at the current location, the network connection control method provided in the embodiment of the present application can control the network connected to the terminal device 10 to switch from the second network 30 to the first network 20, thereby improving the network rate of the terminal device 10. In one embodiment of the present application, the first network 20 and the second network 30 are Wi-Fi networks, for example, the first network 20 is a 2.4G network and the second network 30 is a 5G network, or the first network 20 is a 5G network and the second network 30 is a 2.4G network. This embodiment of the present application is not limited to this. In one embodiment of the present application, the network rate of the first network 20 is higher than the network rate of the second network 30, which means that the network rate of the first network 20 in normal working state is higher than the network rate of the second network 30 in normal working state, for example, the network rate of the 5G network in normal working state is higher than the network rate of the 2.4G network in normal working state. In another embodiment of the present application, the network rate of the first network 20 is higher than the network rate of the second network 30, which means that the network rate of the first network 20 in normal working state is higher than the network rate of the second network 30 in a state of severe network interference, for example, the network rate of the 2.4G network in normal working state is higher than the network rate of the 5G network in a state of severe network interference. The normal working state refers to a state in which the network is not subject to network interference or is subject to a low degree of network interference.In one embodiment of the present application, the terminal device 10 may be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a desktop computer, a laptop computer, a handheld computer, a notebook computer, an ultra-mobile personal computer (UMPC), a netbook, a cellular phone, a personal digital assistant (PDA), an augmented reality (AR) device, a virtual reality (VR) device, an artificial intelligence (AI) device, a wearable device, an in-vehicle device, a smart home device, and / or a smart city device.

[0037] Referring to Figure 2, a flowchart of a network connection control method provided in one embodiment of the present application is shown. The method disclosed in the embodiment of the present application or the method shown in the flowchart includes one or more steps for implementing the method. Without departing from the scope of the claims, the execution order of multiple steps can be interchanged with each other, and some steps can also be omitted. Some embodiments will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other unless there is a conflict. The network connection control method includes the following steps.

[0038] In step S201, when the terminal device is connected to the first network, it obtains the network hotspot information of the second network, wherein the first network and the second network are networks of different frequency bands in at least one dual-band router, and the at least one dual-band router separately sets the network hotspot of the first network and the network hotspot of the second network.

[0039] For ease of clarity, the following describes the specific implementation of the network connection control method using the example of a mobile phone as the terminal device 10, a 2.4G network as the first network 20, and a 5G network as the second network 30. A dual-band router separately sets up network hotspots for the 2.4G network and the 5G network, so that the mobile phone only connects to the 2.4G network hotspot in the usage scenario. When the mobile phone is connected to the 2.4G network, the network hotspot information of the 2.4G network is recorded in the Wi-Fi saved network list. In one embodiment, the network hotspot information of the 2.4G network may include at least a device identification number of a network device of the 2.4G network, an identification number of a network hotspot of the 2.4G network, and a network identification number of the 2.4G network. The network device may be a router. The router is used to set up a network hotspot. For example, a 2.4G network router is used to set up a network hotspot of the 2.4G network. The device identification number of the network device may be an Organizationally Unique Identifier (OUI) of the network device, which is used to represent an identifier of the network device and is a 32-bit identifier that can be used to uniquely identify a Media Access Control (MAC) address. OUI can be used to identify and distinguish different MAC addresses, and can be used to implement functions such as routing, security authentication, and fault location.

[0040] The identification number of a network hotspot is the Broadcast Service Set Identifier (BSSID), which is an identifier in a Wi-Fi network that can identify a wireless access point (AP) and can be used to represent a unique identifier for a network hotspot. BSSID can be a 6-byte hexadecimal number, for example, it can usually start with a capital letter "G". In a Wi-Fi network, each terminal device (such as a computer, smartphone, etc.) requires a unique BSSID to identify itself. When a terminal device is connected to an AP, it can send a BSSID request to the AP and obtain a BSSID that matches the request. Once the BSSID is obtained, the terminal device can use the BSSID to communicate with other devices.

[0041] The network identification number is the Service Set Identifier (SSID), which is used to represent the name of the network and distinguish different service sets. In network communications, a service set refers to a group of related network services that can share the same characteristics such as protocols, ports, and data formats. The service set identifier allows network devices to identify and select the appropriate service set based on a specific identifier, thereby achieving efficient data transmission and routing. The service set identifier usually consists of a 32-bit binary number and can be expressed as a hexadecimal number or a dotted decimal number. For example, a common service set identifier is the first 32 bits of an IPv4 address, or it can be a unique 16-bit UUID value.

[0042] For example, a mobile phone can obtain the OUI of a 2.4G network device, the BSSID of a 2.4G network hotspot, and the SSID of a 2.4G network from the list of saved Wi-Fi networks. When connected to a 2.4G network, the mobile phone scans for nearby hotspots and obtains broadcast information from 5G network routers. The mobile phone parses the obtained broadcast information to obtain 5G network hotspot information. 5G network hotspot information includes the OUI of a 5G network device, the BSSID of a 5G network hotspot, and the 5G network SSID.

[0043] Step S202: Determine whether the hotspot information of the second network satisfies a preset condition. In one embodiment of the present application, if the hotspot information of the second network satisfies the preset condition, step S203 is executed; if the hotspot information of the second network does not satisfy the preset condition, the process returns to step S201 to continue acquiring the hotspot information of the next second network.

[0044] In one embodiment of the present application, the terminal device can determine whether the network hotspot information of the second network meets the preset conditions by comparing the OUI, BSSID, and / or SSID corresponding to the second network with the OUI, BSSID, and / or SSID corresponding to the first network. For example, the mobile phone obtains the device identification number OUI, network hotspot identification number BSSID, and network identification number SSID of the 2.4G network router from the Wi-Fi saved network list.

[0045] In one embodiment of the present application, if the device identification number of the network device of the 5G network is the same as the device identification number of the network device of the 2.4G network, and the identification number of the network hotspot of the 5G network is the same as the identification number of the network hotspot of the 2.4G network, it is determined that the network hotspot information of the 5G network meets the preset conditions. In an embodiment of the present application, if the device identification number of the network device of the 5G network is the same as the device identification number of the network device of the 2.4G network, and the identification number of the network hotspot of the 5G network is the same as the identification number of the network hotspot of the 2.4G network, it can be determined that the 5G network and the 2.4G network are from the same network device (such as a router), which facilitates the mobile phone to switch between Wi-Fi networks under the same network device.

[0046] In another embodiment, if the device identification number of the router of the 5G network is different from the device identification number of the network device of the 2.4G network, but the network identification number of the 5G network matches the network identification number of the 2.4G network, it is determined that the network hotspot information of the 5G network meets the preset conditions. In one embodiment of the present application, the network identification number of the 5G network matches the network identification number of the 2.4G network, which may mean that the network identification number of the 5G network is the same as some fields of the network identification number of the 2.4G network. For example, the network identification number of the 5G network is "WXW0101", and the network identification number of the 2.4G network is "WXW0001". Since the network identification number "WXW0101" is the same as the partial field "WXW0" of the network identification number "WXW0001", it can be determined that the network hotspot information of the 5G network meets the preset conditions. In an embodiment of the present application, if the device identification number of the router of the 5G network is different from the device identification number of the network device of the 2.4G network, but the network identification number of the 5G network matches the network identification number of the 2.4G network, it indicates that the 5G network or the 2.4G network belongs to the same user's network, then the login passwords of the 5G network and the 2.4G network are often set to the same, which makes it convenient for the mobile phone to switch between the 5G network and the 2.4G network.

[0047] Step S203: Sending a prompt message to prompt the existence of a network hotspot of the second network.

[0048] In one embodiment of the present application, the terminal device may output a prompt message to inform the user that there is a network hotspot of the second network that can be connected. For example, the mobile phone prompts the existence of a network hotspot of the 5G network through a notification message. Reference is made to Figure 3, which is a schematic diagram of notification information provided in one embodiment of the present application. The notification message prompts that there is a network hotspot of the 5G network that can be connected to the mobile phone. Exemplarily, the notification message may include a link address of a network connection interface. The network connection interface may be a network connection interface of a 5G network. By clicking on the link address, the network connection interface shown in Figure 4 is displayed. The network connection interface includes a user name and login password. After the user enters the correct user name and login password in the network connection interface, the mobile phone can be connected to the 5G network. In one embodiment of the present application, the mobile phone may display the notification message in the form of a pop-up window, or may display the notification message in the notification bar of the mobile phone.

[0049] Step S204: After sending the prompt message, detect whether the terminal device is connected to the second network; if it is detected that the terminal device is not connected to the second network within a preset time, connect the terminal device to the second network.

[0050] In one embodiment of the present application, a timer is counted after the mobile phone sends a prompt message. When the time for sending the prompt message reaches a preset time, if it is detected that the network hotspot information of the 5G network is not recorded in the Wi-Fi saved network list of the mobile phone, and it is determined that the mobile phone has not been connected to the 5G network within the preset time, the mobile phone is connected to the network hotspot of the 5G network. The preset time can be set according to user needs. For example, the preset time can be set to a few minutes (such as 5 minutes). In actual applications, the preset time is not limited. It should be noted that when the mobile phone is connected to the network hotspot of the 5G network, the connection to the 2.4G network will be disconnected.

[0051] In one embodiment of the present application, if the phone is detected to be in the off state, the login password for the 2.4G network is obtained from the network list. The phone sends a connection request with the login password for the 2.4G network to the 5G network hotspot. The 5G network router responds to the connection request and verifies the login password. After the 5G network router successfully verifies the login password, the phone connects to the 5G network hotspot.

[0052] In one embodiment of the present application, if the 5G network router fails to verify the login password, the mobile phone sends a connection request with the 2.4G network login password to the 2.4G network hotspot to connect to the 2.4G network hotspot. In one embodiment of the present application, the network speed of the 5G network is higher than the network speed of the 2.4G network.

[0053] In one embodiment of the present application, the mobile phone obtains the screen-off status through the isScreenOn() function in the PowerManager class. If the isScreenOn() function returns a true value, it indicates that the mobile phone is currently in the screen-on state; if the isScreenOn() function returns a false value, it indicates that the mobile phone is currently in the screen-off state.

[0054] In one embodiment of the present application, the mobile phone can send a connection request carrying the login password of the 2.4G network to the network hotspot of the 5G network in silent mode with the screen off. In this way, the network can be automatically connected or switched without the user's awareness, which will not cause interference to the user. It can also ensure that the mobile phone is always connected to a high-speed network, ensuring the network speed when the user uses the mobile phone to surf the Internet, thereby improving the user's Internet experience.

[0055] In an embodiment of the present application, when a terminal device is connected to a first network, if the obtained network hotspot information of a second network meets a preset condition, a prompt message is issued to indicate the existence of a network hotspot of the second network for the user to connect to, thereby facilitating the user to manually switch the network connected to the terminal device to a second network with a higher network speed or better network signal quality, thereby improving the network speed and network signal quality of the terminal device. In addition, if it is detected that the terminal device has not connected to the second network within a preset time after the prompt message is issued, the terminal device is automatically roamed to the second network, thereby automatically switching the terminal device's network to the second network, allowing the terminal device to connect to the network with the highest speed.

[0056] 5 is a flowchart of a network connection control method according to another embodiment of the present application, wherein the method comprises the following steps.

[0057] In step S401, when the terminal device is connected to the 2.4G network, it obtains the network hotspot information of the 2.4G network and the network hotspot information of the 5G network.

[0058] In one embodiment of the present application, the 2.4G network and the 5G network are networks of different frequency bands in at least one dual-band router, and the at least one dual-band router is separately configured with a network hotspot of the 2.4G network and a network hotspot of the 5G network, so that the terminal device only connects to the network hotspot of the 2.4G network in the usage scenario. The network hotspot information of the 5G network includes the device identification number OUI of the router of the 5G network, the identification number BSSID of the network hotspot of the 5G network, and the network identification number SSID of the 5G network. The network hotspot information of the 2.4G network includes the OUI of the router of the 2.4G network, the BSSID of the network hotspot of the 2.4G network, and the SSID of the 2.4G network.

[0059] The specific implementation content of step S401 refers to the specific implementation content of step S201 in Figure 2, and will not be repeated here.

[0060] Step S402: Determine whether the OUI of the 2.4G network router is the same as the OUI of the 5G network router. If the OUI of the 2.4G network router is different from the OUI of the 5G network router, execute step S403; otherwise, if the OUI of the 2.4G network router is the same as the OUI of the 5G network router, execute step S404.

[0061] Step S403, determine whether the SSID of the router of the 2.4G network matches the SSID of the router of the 5G network. If the SSID of the router of the 2.4G network matches the SSID of the router of the 5G network, execute step S405, otherwise, if the SSID of the router of the 2.4G network does not match the SSID of the router of the 5G network, the process returns to step S401, and re-compares the network hotspot information of the 2.4G network and the network hotspot information of another 5G network. In one embodiment of the present application, the network hotspot information of the 5G network that does not match the network hotspot information of the 2.4G network after comparison can be recorded, and when the network hotspot information of the 2.4G network and the network hotspot information of another 5G network are compared next time, the recorded network hotspot information of the 5G network is removed from the compared network hotspot information. In one embodiment of the present application, whether the SSID of the router of the 2.4G network matches the SSID of the router of the 5G network can be to determine whether some fields of the SSID of the router of the 2.4G network and the SSID of the router of the 5G network are the same.

[0062] Step S404: Determine whether the BSSID of the 2.4G network router is the same as the BSSID of the 5G network router. If the BSSID of the 2.4G network router is the same as the BSSID of the 5G network router, execute step S405. Otherwise, if the BSSID of the 2.4G network router is different from the BSSID of the 5G network router, the process returns to step S401 and re-compares the network hotspot information of the 2.4G network with the network hotspot information of the other 5G network.

[0063] Step S405: Send a prompt message to indicate the existence of a 5G network hotspot.

[0064] In one embodiment of the present application, the prompt message may be "There is a 5G network with better network quality nearby that can be connected to, which can provide a better network experience."

[0065] The specific implementation content of step S405 can refer to the specific implementation content of step S203 in Figure 2, and will not be repeated here.

[0066] Step S406, within a preset time after the time when the prompt message is sent, determine whether the network hotspot information of the 5G network is recorded in the Wi-F saved network list. If the network hotspot information of the 5G network is recorded in the Wi-F saved network list, the process ends. Otherwise, if the network hotspot information of the 5G network is not recorded in the Wi-F saved network list, execute step S407. In an embodiment of the present application, if the network hotspot information of the 5G network is recorded in the Wi-F saved network list, it means that the mobile phone has had a behavioral event of switching from a 2.4G network to a 5G network. Therefore, when it is determined that the network hotspot information of the 5G network is recorded in the Wi-F saved network list, the user's current networking behavior is maintained, and the connection is not sent to the 5G network to avoid interference with the user.

[0067] Step S407: Send a connection request to the 5G network.

[0068] In one embodiment of the present application, if it is detected that the terminal device is in the screen-off state, the login password of the 2.4G network is obtained, and a connection request carrying the login password of the 2.4G network is sent to the network hotspot of the 5G network.

[0069] Step S408: Determine whether the device is connected to a 5G network. If not, proceed to step S409; if connected, proceed to step S410.

[0070] Step S409: Send a connection request to the network hotspot of the 2.4G network to connect to the network hotspot of the 2.4G network.

[0071] In one embodiment of the present application, the terminal device sends a connection request carrying a login password of the 2.4G network to the network hotspot of the 2.4G network to connect to the network hotspot of the 2.4G network. After connecting to the network hotspot of the 2.4G network, the terminal device does not prompt the user for the connection result.

[0072] Step S410: disconnect the terminal device from the 5G network, record the network hotspot information of the 5G network in the Wi-Fi saved network list, and connect to the network hotspot of the 2.4G network.

[0073] In one embodiment of the present application, after disconnecting the terminal device from the 5G network, the terminal device reconnects to the 2.4G network hotspot to avoid affecting the terminal device user's network connection behavior. Specifically, the terminal device sends a connection request with the 2.4G network login password to the 2.4G network hotspot, and connects to the 2.4G network hotspot after the login password is verified.

[0074] Step S411 prompts the user that the 5G network hotspot has been automatically selected for connection, and prompts the user to switch the state of the terminal device connected to the 2.4G network to the state of the terminal device connected to the 5G network by selecting the network hotspot information of the 5G network recorded in the Wi-Fi saved network list.

[0075] In one embodiment of the present application, the reminder system of the terminal device prompts the user that the hotspot of the 5G network has been automatically selected for connection, and prompts the user that the terminal device can switch the state of connection between the terminal device and the 2.4G network to the state of connection between the terminal device and the 5G network by selecting the network hotspot information of the 5G network recorded in the Wi-F saved network list. Referring to Figure 6, a schematic diagram of a network setting interface provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown. The network setting interface includes a Wi-F saved network list. The Wi-F saved network list includes the SSID of the 5G network and the SSID of the 2.4G network. The user switches the state of connection between the terminal device and the 2.4G network to the state of connection between the terminal device and the 5G network by selecting the SSID of the 5G network in the network setting interface.

[0076] In one embodiment of the present application, after step S410, the method further includes: when the terminal device is connected to the 2.4G network, if it is detected that the network rate of the terminal device is reduced to a preset speed value, connecting the terminal device to a network hotspot of the 5G network.

[0077] In one embodiment of the present application, after step S410, the method further includes: when the terminal device is connected to the 2.4G network, if it is detected that the network signal quality of the terminal device is reduced to a preset signal quality value, the terminal device is connected to the network hotspot of the 5G network. In one embodiment of the present application, the network signal quality can be represented by the network signal strength. If the network signal strength is greater, the network signal quality is better. In one embodiment of the present application, the preset speed value and the preset signal quality value can be pre-set in the terminal device. When the terminal device is turned on, the preset speed value and the preset signal quality value can be automatically loaded. The preset speed value and the preset signal quality value can be set or modified as needed, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

[0078] In an embodiment of the present application, when a terminal device is connected to a 2.4G network, if the obtained network hotspot information of the 5G network meets the preset conditions, a prompt message is issued to indicate that there is a network hotspot of the 5G network for the user to connect to, thereby facilitating the user to manually switch the network connected to the terminal device to a 5G network with a higher network speed or better network signal quality, thereby improving the network speed and network signal quality of the terminal device. In addition, if it is detected that the terminal device has not been connected to the 5G network within a preset time, the terminal device can be automatically connected to the 5G network, thereby automatically switching the terminal device's network to the 5G network, allowing the terminal device to connect to the optimal network without the user's perception.

[0079] 7 is a flowchart of a network connection control method according to another embodiment of the present application, wherein the method comprises the following steps.

[0080] Step S601: When the terminal device is connected to the 5G network, the terminal device obtains the network signal strength of the 5G network terminal device and determines whether the network signal strength is less than a preset signal strength value.

[0081] In one embodiment of the present application, the 2.4G network and the 5G network are networks of different frequency bands in at least one dual-band router, and the at least one dual-band router is separately configured with a network hotspot for the 2.4G network and a network hotspot for the 5G network, so that the terminal device only connects to the network hotspot of the 5G network in the usage scenario. In one embodiment of the present application, if it is detected that the network signal strength of the terminal device is less than a preset signal strength value, step S602 is executed. If it is detected that the network signal strength of the terminal device is greater than or equal to the preset signal strength value, step S601 may be repeated until it is detected that the network signal strength of the terminal device is less than the preset signal strength value. In one embodiment of the present application, the preset signal strength value is -75dbm.

[0082] Step S602: Obtain network hotspot information of the 5G network and the network hotspot information of the 2.4G network.

[0083] When a terminal device connects to a 5G network, it records the 5G network's hotspot information in the Wi-Fi saved networks list. This 5G network hotspot information includes the OUI of the 5G network device, the BSSID of the 5G network hotspot, and the SSID of the 5G network. The terminal device can obtain the OUI of the 5G network device, the BSSID of the 5G network hotspot, and the SSID of the 5G network from the Wi-Fi saved networks list.

[0084] When a terminal device connects to a 5G network, it scans nearby hotspots and receives broadcast information from 2.4G network routers. The terminal device parses the broadcast information to determine the 2.4G network hotspot information. 5G network hotspot information includes the OUI of the 2.4G network device, the BSSID of the 2.4G network hotspot, and the SSID of the 2.4G network.

[0085] Step S603: Determine whether the OUI of the 5G network router is the same as the OUI of the 2.4G network router. If the OUI of the 5G network router is different from the OUI of the 2.4G network router, execute step S604; if the OUI of the 5G network router is the same as the OUI of the 2.4G network router, execute step S605.

[0086] Step S604: Determine whether the SSID of the 5G network router matches the SSID of the 2.4G network router. If so, proceed to step S606; if not, the SSID of the 5G network router does not match the SSID of the 2.4G network router, and the process returns to step S601.

[0087] In one embodiment of the present application, whether the SSID of the router of the 5G network matches the SSID of the router of the 2.4G network can be determined by judging whether some fields of the SSID of the router of the 5G network are the same as those of the SSID of the router of the 2.4G network.

[0088] Step S605: Determine whether the BSSID of the 5G network router is the same as the BSSID of the 2.4G network router. For example, determine whether the first eight digits of the BSSID of the 5G network router are the same as the first eight digits of the BSSID of the 2.4G network router. If the BSSID of the 5G network router is the same as the BSSID of the 2.4G network router, execute step S606; if the BSSID of the 5G network router is different from the BSSID of the 2.4G network router, the process returns to step S601.

[0089] Step S606: Send a prompt message to indicate that there is a 2.4G network hotspot.

[0090] Step S607, at a preset time after the time when the prompt message is sent, determine whether the network hotspot information of the 2.4G network is recorded in the Wi-F saved network list. If the network hotspot information of the 2.4G network is recorded in the Wi-F saved network list, the process ends. Otherwise, if the network hotspot information of the 2.4G network is not recorded in the Wi-F saved network list, execute step S608. In an embodiment of the present application, if the network hotspot information of the 2.4G network is recorded in the Wi-F saved network list, it means that the mobile phone has had a behavioral event of switching from a 5G network to a 2.4G network. Therefore, when it is determined that the network hotspot information of the 2.4G network is recorded in the Wi-F saved network list, the user's current networking behavior is maintained, and the connection is not sent to the 2.4G network to avoid interference with the user.

[0091] Step S608: Send a connection request to the 2.4G network.

[0092] In one embodiment of the present application, if it is detected that the terminal device is in the screen-off state, the login password of the 5G network is obtained, and a connection request carrying the login password of the 5G network is sent to the network hotspot of the 2.4G network.

[0093] Step S609: Determine whether the device is connected to a 2.4G network. If not, proceed to step S610; if connected, proceed to step S611.

[0094] Step S610: Send a connection request to the network hotspot of the 5G network to connect to the network hotspot of the 5G network.

[0095] In one embodiment of the present application, the terminal device sends a connection request carrying a login password of the 5G network to the network hotspot of the 5G network to connect to the network hotspot of the 5G network. After connecting to the network hotspot of the 5G network, the terminal device does not prompt the user for the connection result.

[0096] Step S611: disconnect the terminal device from the 2.4G network, record the network hotspot information of the 2.4G network in the Wi-Fi saved network list, and connect to the network hotspot of the 5G network.

[0097] In one embodiment of the present application, after disconnecting the terminal device from the 2.4G network, the terminal device reconnects to the 5G network hotspot to avoid affecting the user behavior of the terminal device. Specifically, the terminal device sends a connection request with the 5G network login password to the 5G network hotspot, and connects to the 5G network hotspot after the login password is verified.

[0098] Step S612 prompts the user that the hotspot of the 2.4G network has been automatically selected for connection, and prompts the user to switch the state of the terminal device connected to the 5G network to the state of the terminal device connected to the 2.4G network by selecting the network hotspot information of the 2.4G network recorded in the Wi-Fi saved network list.

[0099] In one embodiment of the present application, the reminder system application of the terminal device prompts the user that the hotspot of the 2.4G network has been automatically selected for connection, and prompts the user that the terminal device can switch the connection state of the 5G network to the connection state of the 2.4G network by selecting the network hotspot information of the 2.4G network recorded in the Wi-Fi saved network list.

[0100] In one embodiment of the present application, after step S611, the method further includes: when the terminal device is connected to the 5G network, if it is detected that the network rate of the terminal device is reduced to a preset speed value, connecting the terminal device to a network hotspot of the 2.4G network.

[0101] In one embodiment of the present application, after step S611, the method further includes: when the terminal device is connected to the 5G network, if it is detected that the network signal quality of the terminal device is reduced to a preset signal quality value, connecting the terminal device to the network hotspot of the 2.4G network. In one embodiment of the present application, the preset speed value and the preset signal quality value are preset in the terminal device. The preset speed value and the preset signal quality value are loaded when the terminal device is turned on. The preset speed value and the preset signal quality value can be set as needed, and this application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0102] In an embodiment of the present application, when a terminal device is connected to a 5G network, if the network signal strength of the 5G network is less than a preset signal strength value, network hotspot information of the 2.4G network is obtained. When the obtained network hotspot information of the 2.4G network meets the preset conditions, a prompt message is issued to indicate that there is a network hotspot of the 2.4G network for the user to connect to, thereby facilitating the user to manually switch the network connected to the terminal device to a 2.4G network with a higher network speed or better network signal quality, thereby improving the network speed and network signal quality of the terminal device. In addition, if it is detected that the terminal device has not been connected to the 2.4G network within a preset time, the terminal device is automatically connected to the 2.4G network, thereby automatically switching the terminal device's network to the 2.4G network, so that the terminal device is connected to the optimal network.

[0117] It is understood that the interface connection relationship between the modules illustrated in the embodiments of the present application is merely an illustrative illustration and does not constitute a structural limitation on the electronic device 100. In other embodiments of the present application, the electronic device 100 may also adopt different interface connection methods from the above embodiments, or a combination of multiple interface connection methods.

[0118] The charging management module 140 is configured to receive charging input from a charger. The charger can be either a wireless charger or a wired charger.

[0120] 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.

[0121] Antenna 1 and Antenna 2 are used to transmit and receive electromagnetic wave signals. Each antenna in electronic device 100 can be used to cover a single or multiple communication frequency bands. Different antennas can also be reused to improve antenna utilization.

The mobile communication module 150 can also amplify the signal modulated by the modulation and demodulation processor, and convert it into electromagnetic waves for radiation through the antenna 1. In some embodiments, at least some of the functional modules of the mobile communication module 150 can be set in the processor 110. In some embodiments, at least some of the functional modules of the mobile communication module 150 can be set in the same device as at least some of the modules of the processor 110.

[0123] The modem processor may include a modulator and a demodulator. The modulator is used to modulate the low-frequency baseband signal to be transmitted into a medium-high frequency signal. The demodulator is used to demodulate the received electromagnetic wave signal into a low-frequency baseband signal. The demodulator then transmits the demodulated low-frequency baseband signal to the baseband processor for processing. After being processed by the baseband processor, the low-frequency baseband signal is passed to the application processor. The application processor outputs a sound signal through an audio device (not limited to the speaker 170A, the receiver 170B, etc.) or displays an image or video through the display screen 194. In some embodiments, the modem processor may be an independent device. In other embodiments, the modem processor may be independent of the processor 110 and be set in the same device as the mobile communication module 150 or other functional modules.
