Background technique

WiFi (Wireless Fidelity) is an industry standard for wireless network communication (IEEE802.11) defined by IEEE. A mobile communication terminal (such as a mobile phone) with a WiFi function in the prior art, its WiFi function can be implemented as a WiFi STA (Wireless Fidelity Station, WiFi workstation), that is, the mobile communication terminal works in the WiFi workstation mode, and is connected as a terminal. When accessing the Internet, the router can also be used as a WiFi AP (Wireless Fidelity Access Point, WiFi access point) to access other WiFi STAs, that is, as an access point to provide network access services for peripheral devices.

Although WiFi workstation mode and WiFi access point mode are two different working modes, the drivers used in WiFi workstation mode and WiFi access point mode are the same. At present, when the mobile terminal switches between the two working modes of the WiFi workstation mode and the WiFi access point mode, there is a problem of slow switching speed.

The appearances of the phrase in various places in the specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment, nor a separate or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive of other embodiments. It is explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.

In order to better understand a method for switching a working mode of a mobile terminal and a mobile terminal disclosed in the embodiments of the present invention, the embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below.

Please refer to FIG. 1. FIG. 1 shows a method for switching a working mode of a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the method for switching working modes of a mobile terminal includes:

S101. The mobile terminal loads a preset driver, and runs a first application service to enable a first working mode.

Wherein, the first working mode is WiFi workstation mode, and the second working mode is WiFi access point mode; or, the first working mode is WiFi access point mode, and the second working mode is WiFi workstation model.

Specifically, the mobile terminal includes but is not limited to portable electronic devices such as a smart phone (Smart Phone), a tablet computer, a notebook computer, and a personal digital assistant. The method for switching the working mode of a mobile terminal can also be applied to non-mobile terminals such as desktop computers.

Wherein, the working mode includes WiFi workstation mode or WiFi access point mode, WiFi workstation mode refers to connecting to the router as a client to surf the Internet, and those skilled in the art can understand that turning on WiFi workstation mode refers to turning on the WiFi STA (workstation) function of the terminal, Or simply turn on WiFi; the WiFi access point mode refers to serving as a WiFi access point (WiFi hotspot) for other terminals to access, and those skilled in the art can understand that opening the WiFi access point mode means opening the WiFi AP (access point) of the terminal. In Point) feature, or simply turn on hotspot.

In the WiFi workstation mode, the terminal has the WiFi STA function, and can access other WiFi APs (for example: wireless routers, mobile routers or personal routers) through its WiFi chip, and apply for an IP address to the WiFi AP to pass the WiFi The network accesses the corporate network, the Internet, or the operator's network, etc. In the WiFi access point mode, the terminal has a WiFi AP function, and its WiFi chip acts as an access point to provide wireless broadband access services for at least one surrounding WiFi workstation device, so as to access the above at least one WiFi workstation device to the enterprise network, the Internet, or the operator's network, etc.

Wherein, when the first working mode is the WiFi access point mode, the above-mentioned first application service part refers to the following: configure the WiFi hotspot through enableSoftAp(), the WiFi hotspot first needs to bind the port information, and then pass through the access point mode. The NetworkManagementService loads the firmware under the wlan0 port, and the hotspot function also needs the support of the HAL layer. setWifiApState() will send the broadcast WifiManager.WIFI_AP_STATE_CHANGED_ACTION to inform the current hotspot opening process information. You can know what stage the current hotspot opening process is in by listening to the broadcast. The final state switches to SoftApStartingState, and if the process is wrong, it will re-enter InitialState. First, it will determine whether the WifiConfiguration object passed in when opening the hotspot is null; if it is null, it will send a CMD_REQUEST_AP_CONFIG message to WifiApConfigStore to request a hotspot configuration information. After the mWifiApConfigStore object is created, mWifiApConfigStore.loadApConfiguration() will be called to load the hotspot configuration information: mainly read the information from the /misc/wifi/softap.conf file, and assign it to the member variable mWifiApConfig of WifiApConfigStore, this variable saves is the configuration information of the current SoftAp. The file will have default information stored in it at the beginning. If you have never configured a hotspot, you will get the default information of the system; if a hotspot is configured in the upper layer, the new configuration information will also be updated to softap. for download to load again. Reply CMD_RESPONSE_AP_CONFIG message to WifiStateMachine with mWifiApConfig object. In SoftApStartingState::enter(), if config is not empty, we directly call startSoftApWithConfig() to start SoftAP; if config is null at the beginning, by processing CMD_RESPONSE_AP_CONFIG to obtain a new config object, we should also start SoftAP: If the config object at the beginning is not empty, it can be seen from the code that the CMD_SET_AP_CONFIG message will be sent first to notify the WifiApConfigStore to update the configuration information. First, the incoming configuration object will be saved to the mWifiApConfigenter() function, and writeApConfiguration() will be called to update the mWifiApConfig information to In the /misc/wifi/softap.conf file, it is used for the next loading, and then sends the CMD_SET_AP_CONFIG_COMPLETED message to itself to inform that the configuration information update has been completed, and re-enters the InactiveState to wait for the next configuration information update processing. Then return to WifiStateMachine::SoftApStartingState to process CMD_RESPONSE_AP_CONFIG. If the config obtained again is still null, it will notify the hotspot that it failed to open.

Wherein, when the first working mode is the WiFi workstation mode, the above-mentioned first application service part refers to the following: the WifiManager object is defined by the private WifiManager mWifiManager function, the WifiInfo object is defined by the privateWifiInfo mWifiInfo function, and the WifiInfo object is defined by the private List<ScanResult>mWifiList function From the scanned network connection list, get the WifiManager object and WifiInfo object, open the WiFi through the public voidOpenWifi() function, get the configured network through the public List<WifiConfiguration>GetConfiguration() function, and specify it through the public void ConnectConfiguration(int index) function Connect to the configured network, and connect to the configured network with the specified ID.
