[0001] Cross-reference to Related Applications

[0002] The present application claims priority to the Chinese patent application No. 202310708990.3, filed on June 14, 2023, and entitled "Network connection control method, terminal device, and storage medium", the content of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. TECHNICAL FIELD

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

[0004] The existing terminal device can be connected with different Wi-Fi networks, for example, can be connected with a 2.4G network or a 5G network. However, when a user uses the terminal device, the user often fixes the terminal device to connect on one frequency band, such as fixing the terminal device to connect on the 2.4G network or the 5G network. However, the performance of the Wi-Fi networks of different frequency bands is different. For example, the network rate of the 2.4G network is less than that of the 5G network, and the penetration and signal radiation capability of the 5G network is less than that of the 2.4G network. If the terminal device is fixed to connect on the 2.4G network, the high network rate service of the 5G network cannot be obtained. If the terminal device is fixed to connect on the 5G network, in the case that the 5G network signal is blocked, the penetration and radiation capability of the 5G network signal is weakened, resulting in low network rate, which affects the user's online experience.

[0005] SUMMARY

[0006] In view of the above, it is necessary to provide a network connection control method, an electronic device, and a storage medium to solve the technical problem that the terminal device is fixed to connect on one Wi-Fi network, resulting in that the Wi-Fi network cannot be switched 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 applied in a terminal device, the method comprising: obtaining network hotspot information of a second network when the terminal device is connected to a first network, the network rate of the second network being higher than that of the first network, the first network and the second network being networks of different frequency bands in at least one dual-frequency router, the at least one dual-frequency router being configured to separately set a network hotspot of the first network and a network hotspot of the second network; if it is determined that the network hotspot information of the second network meets a preset condition, issuing a prompt message to prompt the existence of the network hotspot of the second network; and if the terminal device is not connected to the second network within a preset time after the prompt message is issued, connecting the terminal device to the second network. In the above scheme, when the terminal device is connected to the first network, if the obtained network hotspot information of the second network meets the preset condition, a prompt message is issued to prompt the existence of the network hotspot of the second network for the user to connect, so as to facilitate the user to manually switch the network to which the terminal device is connected to the second network with higher network rate or better network signal quality, thereby improving the network rate and network signal quality of the terminal device. In addition, if the terminal device is not connected to the second network within the preset time after the prompt message is issued, the terminal device is automatically connected to the second network, so as to automatically switch the network of the terminal device to the second network, and enable the terminal device to be connected to the network with the highest rate.

[0008] In an embodiment of the present application, the obtaining of the network hotspot information of the second network comprises: 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, the network hotspot information of the second network comprising 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 scheme, the terminal device obtains the network hotspot information of the second network by scanning the surrounding broadcast information.

[0009] In an embodiment of the present application, the method further comprises: 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 an embodiment of the present application, the determining that the network hotspot information of the second network satisfies the preset condition comprises: 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 is determined that the network hotspot information of the second network satisfies 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 come from the same network device, so as to facilitate the terminal device to switch between the Wi-Fi networks under the same network device.

[0011] In an embodiment of the present application, the determining that the network hotspot information of the second network satisfies the preset condition comprises: 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 is determined that the network hotspot information of the second network satisfies 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 network of the same user, so as to facilitate 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 comprises: the network identification number of the second network is the same as part of the fields of the network identification number of the first network.

[0013] In an embodiment of the present application, the connecting the terminal device with the second network comprises: if it is detected that the terminal device is in a screen-off state, obtaining a 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 with the network hotspot of the second network after the login password is verified. In the above scheme, the terminal device is connected with the network hotspot of the second network when the terminal device is in a screen-off state, so that automatic connection or switching of the network can be realized in a state without awareness of the user.

[0014] In an embodiment of the present application, after sending the connection request carrying the login password of the first network to the network hotspot of the second network and connecting with the network hotspot of the second network after the login password is verified, the method further comprises: disconnecting the terminal device from the second network and recording the network hotspot information of the second network in the network list; sending the connection request carrying the login password of the first network to the network hotspot of the first network and connecting with the network hotspot of the first network after the login password is verified. The above technical solution can avoid affecting the network behavior of the user of the terminal device by reconnecting the terminal device with the network hotspot of the first network after disconnecting the terminal device from the second network.

[0015] In an embodiment of the present application, after disconnecting the terminal device from the second network, the method further comprises: prompting the user that the terminal device has automatically selected the hotspot of the second network for connection and prompting the user that the terminal device can be connected with the second network by selecting the network hotspot information of the second network recorded in the network list. The above technical solution can prompt the user to connect the terminal device with the second network with better network rate.

[0016] In an embodiment of the present application, after disconnecting the terminal device from the second network, the method further comprises: connecting the terminal device with the second network when the network rate of the terminal device is detected to be reduced to a preset speed value while connecting with the first network. The above technical solution can automatically connect the terminal device with the second network with higher network rate when the network rate of the terminal device is detected to be reduced to a preset speed value while connecting with the first network, thus improving the network rate of the terminal device.

[0017] In an embodiment of the present application, after disconnecting the terminal device from the second network, the method further comprises: connecting the terminal device with the second network when the network signal quality of the terminal device is detected to be reduced to a preset signal quality value while connecting with the first network. The above technical solution can automatically connect the terminal device with the second network with better network signal quality when the network signal quality of the terminal device is detected to be reduced to a preset signal quality value while connecting with the first network, thus improving the network rate of the terminal device.

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

[0019] In an embodiment of the present application, the obtaining the network hotspot information of the second network comprises: obtaining a network signal strength of the second network, and obtaining the network hotspot information of the first 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 the preset signal strength value, the network hotspot information of the first network is obtained, and a prompt message is sent to prompt that there is a network hotspot of the first network for the user to connect, so as to facilitate the user to manually switch the network to which the terminal device is connected to the first network with higher network rate or better network signal quality, thereby improving the network rate and the network signal quality of the terminal device. In addition, if it is detected that the terminal device is not connected to the first network within a preset time, the terminal device is automatically connected to the first network, so as to automatically switch the network of the terminal device to the first network, so that the terminal device is connected to the optimal network.

Specifically, the use of words such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a specific manner.

[0034] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used in the description of the application herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application. It is to be understood that the use of "a", "an", "the" herein does not exclude a plurality, and "multiple" means two or more. It is to be understood that the terms "including", "comprising", "consisting" and "involving" as used herein are meant to be interpreted in an inclusive manner. That is, they are intended to mean the process, method, system, article or apparatus includes but is not limited to whatever is specifically named, and any equivalent process, method, system, article or apparatus that includes any of the recited steps or elements.

[0035] The existing terminal device can be connected with different Wi-Fi networks. For example, a home dual-frequency separation router can support a 2.4 GHz frequency band and a 5G frequency band, the 2.4 GHz frequency band provides a 2.4G network for use by a user, and the 5G frequency band is used for 5G network connection. However, when the user uses the terminal device, the user often fixes the terminal device to connect to one frequency band, such as fixing the terminal device to connect to the 2.4G network or the 5G network. However, the performance of different Wi-Fi networks is different. For example, under the condition that the network is working normally, the network rate of the 2.4G network is less than that of the 5G network, and the penetration and signal radiation capability of the 5G network is less than that of the 2.4G network. If the terminal device is fixedly connected to the 2.4G network, the high network rate service of the 5G network cannot be obtained. If the terminal device is fixedly connected to the 5G network, in the case that the 5G network signal is blocked, the penetration and radiation capability of the 5G network signal is weakened, resulting in low network rate of the Wi-Fi network, which affects the user's online experience. Therefore, if the terminal device is fixedly connected to one Wi-Fi network, the terminal device cannot be connected to the optimal network.

[0036] To solve the technical problem that terminal device is fixedly connected to one Wi-Fi network, resulting in that Wi-Fi network switching cannot be implemented when network rate of the Wi-Fi network is low. Embodiments of the present application provide a network connection control method. Referring to FIG. 1, it is a scenario diagram of application of the network connection control method provided by an embodiment of the present application. Terminal device 10 can be connected to first network 20 and second network 30. The network connection control method is used to control terminal device 10 to be connected to one of first network 20 and second network 30. For example, if network rate of second network 30 is higher than network rate of first network 20, the network connection control method provided by embodiments of the present application can control terminal device 10 to be connected to second network 30. If location of terminal device 10 changes, resulting in that network rate of first network 20 is higher than network rate of second network 30 at the current location, the network connection control method provided by embodiments of the present application can control the network to which terminal device 10 is connected to be switched from second network 30 to first network 20, thereby improving network rate of terminal device 10. In an embodiment of the present application, first network 20 and second network 30 are Wi-Fi networks, for example, first network 20 is 2.4G network and second network 30 is 5G network, or first network 20 is 5G network and second network 30 is 2.4G network, which is not limited in embodiments of the present application. In an embodiment of the present application, network rate of first network 20 is higher than network rate of second network 30 means that network rate of first network 20 in normal working state is higher than network rate of second network 30 in normal working state, for example, network rate of 5G network in normal working state is higher than network rate of 2.4G network in normal working state. In another embodiment of the present application, network rate of first network 20 is higher than network rate of second network 30 means that network rate of first network 20 in normal working state is higher than network rate of second network 30 in serious network interference, for example, network rate of 2.4G network in normal working state is higher than network rate of 5G network in serious network interference. The normal working state means that the network is not interfered by network or is interfered by network at a low level.In an embodiment of the present application, the terminal device 10 can 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, a smart city device, and / or the like.

[0037] Referring to FIG. 2, a flowchart of a network connection control method according to an 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, and the execution order of the steps can be interchanged with each other without departing from the scope of the claims, and some steps can also be omitted. Some embodiments will be described below in conjunction with the drawings. The embodiments and features in the embodiments described below can be combined with each other without conflict. The network connection control method includes the following steps.

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

[0039] For the convenience of clear description of the examples, the following describes the specific implementation of the network connection control method by taking the terminal device 10 as a mobile phone, the first network 20 as a 2.4G network, and the second network 30 as a 5G network. The dual-frequency router separately sets the network hotspots of the 2.4G network and the 5G network, so that the mobile phone only connects the network hotspot of the 2.4G network in the use 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 an embodiment, the network hotspot information of the 2.4G network can at least include the device identification number of the network device of the 2.4G network, the identification number of the network hotspot of the 2.4G network, and the network identification number of the 2.4G network. The network device can be a router. The router is used to set the network hotspot. For example, the router of the 2.4G network is used to set the network hotspot of the 2.4G network. The device identification number of the network device can be an Organizationally Unique Identifier (OUI) of the network device, which is used to represent the identifier of the network device and can be used to uniquely identify a 32-bit identifier of a Media Access Control (MAC) address. The OUI can be used to identify and distinguish different MAC addresses, and can be used to realize functions such as routing, security authentication, and fault location.

[0040] The identification number of the network hotspot is a Broadcast Service Set Identifier (BSSID), which is an identifier in a Wi-Fi network and can identify an Access Point (AP). The BSSID can be a 6-byte hexadecimal number, for example, which usually starts with a capital letter "G". In a Wi-Fi network, each terminal device (such as a computer, a smartphone, etc.) needs a unique BSSID to identify itself. When the 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 a service set identifier (SSID), which is used to represent the name of the network and distinguish different service sets. In network communication, a service set refers to a group of related network services that can share the same protocol, port, and data format characteristics. 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 is usually composed of a 32-bit binary number and can be represented 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 a unique 16-bit UUID value.

[0042] For example, the mobile phone can obtain the OUI of the network device of the 2.4G network, the BSSID of the network hotspot of the 2.4G network, and the SSID of the 2.4G network from the Wi-Fi saved network list. When the mobile phone connects to the 2.4G network, it scans the surrounding hotspots and obtains the broadcast information sent by the 5G network router. The mobile phone parses the 5G network hotspot information from the obtained broadcast information. The 5G network hotspot information includes the OUI of the network device of the 5G network, the BSSID of the network hotspot of the 5G network, and the SSID of the 5G network.

[0043] In an embodiment of the present application, if the network hotspot information of the second network meets the preset condition, step S203 is executed; if the network hotspot information of the second network does not meet the preset condition, the flow returns to step S201 to continue to obtain the network hotspot information of the next second network.

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

[0045] 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 is determined that the network hotspot information of the 5G network satisfies the preset condition. In the 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 come from the same network device (such as the same router), so as to facilitate the mobile phone to switch between the 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 satisfies the preset condition. In an embodiment of the present application, the network identification number of the 5G network matches the network identification number of the 2.4G network, which can mean that the network identification number of the 5G network and the network identification number of the 2.4G network have the same part of the field. 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 part of the field "WXW0" of the network identification number "WXW0101" is the same as the network identification number "WXW0001", it can be determined that the network hotspot information of the 5G network satisfies the preset condition. In the 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 network of the same user, so the login password of the 5G network and the 2.4G network is often set to be consistent, so as to facilitate the mobile phone to switch between the 5G network and the 2.4G network.

[0047] In step S203, a prompt message is sent to prompt the existence of the network hotspot of the second network.

[0048] In an embodiment of the present application, the terminal device can 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 the network hotspot of the 5G network through a notification message. Referring to FIG. 3, a schematic diagram of the notification message provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown. The notification message prompts the existence of the network hotspot of the 5G network that can be connected to the mobile phone. The notification message can include a link address of a network connection interface, for example. The network connection interface can be a network connection interface of the 5G network. By clicking the link address, the network connection interface shown in FIG. 4 is displayed. The network connection interface includes a user name and a login password. After the user inputs the correct user name and login password in the network connection interface, the mobile phone can be connected to the 5G network. In an embodiment of the present application, the mobile phone can display the notification message in the form of a pop-up window, or the notification message can be displayed in the notification bar of the mobile phone.

[0049] In step S204, after the prompt message is sent, it is detected 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, the terminal device is connected to the second network.

[0050] In an embodiment of the present application, after the mobile phone sends the prompt message, the time is counted. When the time reaches the 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, it is determined that the mobile phone is not connected to the 5G network within the preset time, and then the mobile phone is connected to the network hotspot of the 5G network. The preset time can be set according to the user's needs. For example, the preset time can be set to several minutes (e.g., 5 minutes), and the preset time is not limited in actual application. It should be noted that the mobile phone will disconnect the connection to the 2.4G network during the process of connecting to the network hotspot of the 5G network.

[0051] In an embodiment of the present application, if it is detected that the mobile phone is in the screen-off state, the login password of the 2.4G network is obtained from the network list. The mobile phone sends a connection request carrying the login password of the 2.4G network to the network hotspot of the 5G network. The router of the 5G network responds to the connection request and verifies the login password. After the login password is verified by the router of the 5G network, the mobile phone is connected to the network hotspot of the 5G network.

[0052] In an embodiment of the present application, if the login password fails to be verified by the router of the 5G network, the mobile phone sends a connection request carrying the login password of the 2.4G network to the network hotspot of the 2.4G network to be connected to the network hotspot of the 2.4G network. In an embodiment of the present application, the network speed of the 5G network is higher than that of the 2.4G network.

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

[0054] In an 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 the silent mode in the screen-off state, so as to realize automatic connection or switching of the network without the user's awareness, without interference to the user, and to ensure that the mobile phone is always connected to the high-speed network, ensuring the network speed when the user uses the mobile phone to surf the Internet and improving the user's Internet experience.

[0055] In the embodiment of the present application, when the terminal device is connected to the first network, if the obtained network hotspot information of the second network meets the preset condition, a prompt message is sent to prompt that the network hotspot of the second network exists for the user to connect, so as to facilitate the user to manually switch the network to which the terminal device is connected to the second network with higher network rate or better network signal quality, thereby improving the network rate and network signal quality of the terminal device. In addition, if it is detected that the terminal device is not connected to the second network within a preset time after the prompt message is sent, the terminal device is automatically roamed and connected to the second network, so as to automatically switch the network of the terminal device to the second network, so that the terminal device can be connected to the highest speed network.

[0056] Referring to FIG. 5, a flowchart of a network connection control method provided by another embodiment of the present application is shown. The method comprises the following steps.

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

[0058] In an embodiment of the present application, the 2.4G network and the 5G network are networks of different frequency bands in at least one dual-frequency router, and the at least one dual-frequency router separately sets the network hotspot of the 2.4G network and the network hotspot of the 5G network, so that the terminal device is only connected to the network hotspot of the 2.4G network in the use 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 of step S401 can refer to the specific implementation of step S201 in FIG. 2, which will not be described herein again.

[0060] In step S402, it is determined whether the OUI of the router of the 2.4G network is the same as the OUI of the router of the 5G network. If the OUI of the router of the 2.4G network is not the same as the OUI of the router of the 5G network, step S403 is performed, otherwise, if the OUI of the router of the 2.4G network is the same as the OUI of the router of the 5G network, step S404 is performed.

[0061] In step S403, it is determined 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, step S405 is performed, 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 flow returns to step S401 to re-compare the network hotspot information of the 2.4G network and the network hotspot information of the other 5G network. In an 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 the other 5G network are compared next time, the recorded network hotspot information of the 5G network is removed from the compared network hotspot information. In an 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 the SSID of the router of the 2.4G network and the SSID of the router of the 5G network are the same in part.

[0062] In step S404, it is determined whether the BSSID of the router of the 2.4G network is the same as the BSSID of the router of the 5G network. If the BSSID of the router of the 2.4G network is the same as the BSSID of the router of the 5G network, step S405 is performed, otherwise, if the BSSID of the router of the 2.4G network is not the same as the BSSID of the router of the 5G network, the flow returns to step S401 to re-compare the network hotspot information of the 2.4G network and the network hotspot information of the other 5G network.

[0063] In step S405, a prompt message is sent to prompt that there is a network hotspot of the 5G network.

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

[0065] The specific implementation of step S405 can refer to the specific implementation of step S203 in FIG. 2, which will not be described herein again.

[0066] In step S406, it is determined whether the network hotspot information of the 5G network is recorded in the Wi-Fi saved network list within a preset time after the prompt message is sent. If the network hotspot information of the 5G network is recorded in the Wi-Fi saved network list, the process ends. Otherwise, if the network hotspot information of the 5G network is not recorded in the Wi-Fi saved network list, step S407 is performed. In an embodiment of the present application, if the network hotspot information of the 5G network is recorded in the Wi-Fi saved network list, it indicates that the mobile phone has had a behavior event of switching from the 2.4G network to the 5G network. Thus, when it is determined that the network hotspot information of the 5G network is recorded in the Wi-Fi saved network list, the current network behavior of the user is maintained, and no connection is sent to the 5G network, so as to avoid interference to the user.

[0067] In step S407, a connection request is sent to the 5G network.

[0068] In an embodiment of the present application, when 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] In step S408, it is determined whether the 5G network is connected. If the 5G network is not connected, step S409 is performed; if the 5G network is connected, step S410 is performed.

[0070] In step S409, a connection request is sent to the network hotspot of the 2.4G network, so as to connect with the network hotspot of the 2.4G network.

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

[0072] In step S410, the connection between the terminal device and the 5G network is disconnected, the network hotspot information of the 5G network is recorded in the Wi-Fi saved network list, and the network hotspot of the 2.4G network is connected.

[0073] In an embodiment of the present application, after the connection between the terminal device and the 5G network is disconnected, the terminal device is reconnected with the network hotspot of the 2.4G network, so as to avoid affecting the network behavior of the user of the terminal device. Specifically, the terminal device sends a connection request carrying the login password of the 2.4G network to the network hotspot of the 2.4G network, and is connected with the network hotspot of the 2.4G network after the login password is verified.

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

[0075] In an embodiment of the present application, the reminding system of the terminal device prompts the user that the 5G network hotspot has been automatically selected for connection, and prompts the user that the terminal device can be switched from the state of being connected to the 2.4G network to the state of being connected to the 5G network by selecting the 5G network hotspot information recorded in the Wi-Fi saved network list. Referring to FIG. 6, a schematic diagram of a network setting interface provided by an embodiment of the present application is shown. The network setting interface includes a Wi-Fi saved network list. The Wi-Fi saved network list includes the SSID of the 5G network and the SSID of the 2.4G network. The user selects the SSID of the 5G network in the network setting interface to switch the terminal device from the state of being connected to the 2.4G network to the state of being connected to the 5G network.

[0076] In an 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 speed of the terminal device is reduced to a preset speed value, connecting the terminal device to the 5G network hotspot.

[0077] In an 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, connecting the terminal device to the 5G network hotspot. In an embodiment of the present application, the network signal quality can be represented by the network signal strength, and the greater the network signal strength, the better the network signal quality. In an embodiment of the present application, the preset speed value and the preset signal quality value can be pre-set in the terminal device. The terminal device can automatically load the preset speed value and the preset signal quality value when starting up. The preset speed value and the preset signal quality value can be set or modified as needed, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0078] In the embodiment of the present application, when the terminal device is connected to the 2.4G network, if the network hotspot information of the 5G network obtained satisfies the preset condition, a prompt message is sent to prompt that there is a network hotspot of the 5G network for the user to connect, so as to facilitate the user to manually switch the network of the terminal device to the 5G network with higher network rate or better network signal quality, thereby improving the network rate and network signal quality of the terminal device. In addition, if it is detected that the terminal device is not connected to the 5G network within the preset time, the terminal device can be automatically connected to the 5G network, thereby automatically switching the network of the terminal device to the 5G network, so that the terminal device can be connected to the optimal network without the user's awareness.

[0079] Referring to FIG. 7, a flowchart of a network connection control method provided by another embodiment of the present application is shown. The method comprises the following steps.

[0080] In step S601, when the terminal device is connected to the 5G network, the network signal strength of the terminal device of the 5G network is obtained, and it is determined whether the network signal strength is less than a preset signal strength value.

[0081] In an embodiment of the present application, the 2.4G network and the 5G network are networks of different frequency bands in at least one dual-frequency router, and the at least one dual-frequency router separately sets the network hotspot of the 2.4G network and the network hotspot of the 5G network, so that the terminal device is only connected to the network hotspot of the 5G network in the use scenario. In an embodiment of the present application, if it is detected that the network signal strength of the terminal device is less than the preset signal strength value, step S602 is performed, and 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 can be repeated until it is detected that the network signal strength of the terminal device is less than the preset signal strength value. In an embodiment of the present application, the preset signal strength value is -75dbm.

[0082] In step S602, the network hotspot information of the 5G network and the network hotspot information of the 2.4G network are obtained.

[0083] When the terminal device is connected to the 5G network, the network hotspot information of the 5G network is recorded in the Wi-Fi saved network list. The network hotspot information of the 5G network includes the OUI of the network device of the 5G network, the BSSID of the network hotspot of the 5G network, and the SSID of the 5G network. The terminal device can obtain the OUI of the network device of the 5G network, the BSSID of the network hotspot of the 5G network, and the SSID of the 5G network from the Wi-Fi saved network list.

[0084] When the terminal device is connected to the 5G network, the terminal device scans the surrounding hotspots and acquires the broadcast information sent by the router of the 2.4G network. The terminal device parses the network hotspot information of the 2.4G network from the acquired broadcast information. The network hotspot information of the 5G network includes the OUI of the network device of the 2.4G network, the BSSID of the network hotspot of the 2.4G network, and the SSID of the 2.4G network.

[0085] In step S603, it is determined whether the OUI of the router of the 5G network is the same as the OUI of the router of the 2.4G network. If the OUI of the router of the 5G network is not the same as the OUI of the router of the 2.4G network, step S604 is performed; if the OUI of the router of the 5G network is the same as the OUI of the router of the 2.4G network, step S605 is performed.

[0086] In step S604, it is determined whether the SSID of the router of the 5G network matches the SSID of the router of the 2.4G network. If the SSID of the router of the 5G network matches the SSID of the router of the 2.4G network, step S606 is performed; if the SSID of the router of the 5G network does not match the SSID of the router of the 2.4G network, the flow returns to step S601.

[0087] In an 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 determining whether the partial fields of the SSID of the router of the 5G network and the SSID of the router of the 2.4G network are the same.

[0088] In step S605, it is determined whether the BSSID of the router of the 5G network is the same as the BSSID of the router of the 2.4G network, for example, whether the first eight bits of the BSSID of the router of the 5G network are the same as the first eight bits of the BSSID of the router of the 2.4G network. If the BSSID of the router of the 5G network is the same as the BSSID of the router of the 2.4G network, step S606 is performed; if the BSSID of the router of the 5G network is not the same as the BSSID of the router of the 2.4G network, the flow returns to step S601.

[0089] In step S606, a prompt message is sent to prompt the existence of the network hotspot of the 2.4G network.

[0090] Step S607, at the preset time after the time of sending the prompt message, it is judged whether the network hotspot information of the 2.4G network is recorded in the Wi-Fi saved network list. If the network hotspot information of the 2.4G network is recorded in the Wi-Fi saved network list, the flow ends. Otherwise, if the network hotspot information of the 2.4G network is not recorded in the Wi-Fi saved network list, step S608 is executed. In the embodiment of the present application, if the network hotspot information of the 2.4G network is recorded in the Wi-Fi saved network list, it indicates that the mobile phone has had the behavior event of switching from the 5G network to the 2.4G network. Therefore, when it is determined that the network hotspot information of the 2.4G network is recorded in the Wi-Fi saved network list, the current network behavior of the user is maintained, and the connection to the 2.4G network is avoided, so as to avoid interference to the user.

[0091] Step S608, a connection request is sent to the 2.4G network.

[0092] In an embodiment of the present application, when 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, it is judged whether the 2.4G network is connected. If the 2.4G network is not connected, step S610 is executed; if the 2.4G network is connected, step S611 is executed.

[0094] Step S610, a connection request is sent to the network hotspot of the 5G network, so as to connect with the network hotspot of the 5G network.

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

[0096] Step S611, the connection between the terminal device and the 2.4G network is disconnected, the network hotspot information of the 2.4G network is recorded in the Wi-Fi saved network list, and the network hotspot of the 5G network is connected.

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

[0098] Step S612, prompting the user that the 2.4G network hotspot has been automatically selected for connection, and prompting the user that the terminal device can be switched from the state of being connected to the 5G network to the state of being 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 an embodiment of the present application, the reminding system application program of the terminal device prompts the user that the 2.4G network hotspot has been automatically selected for connection, and prompts the user that the terminal device can be switched from the state of being connected to the 5G network to the state of being 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.

In an embodiment of the present application, the preset speed value and the preset signal quality value are preset in the terminal device. The terminal device loads the preset speed value and the preset signal quality value when starting. The preset speed value and the preset signal quality value can be set as needed, which is not limited in the present application.

[0102] In the embodiment of the present application, when the terminal device is connected to the 5G network, if the network signal strength of the 5G network is less than a preset signal strength value, the network hotspot information of the 2.4G network is acquired, and when the acquired network hotspot information of the 2.4G network meets a preset condition, a prompt message is sent to prompt that there is a network hotspot of the 2.4G network for the user to connect, so as to facilitate the user to manually switch the network of the terminal device to the 2.4G network with 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 is not connected to the 2.4G network within a preset time, the terminal device is automatically connected to the 2.4G network, so as to automatically switch the network of the terminal device to the 2.4G network, so that the terminal device is connected to the optimal network.
