Description

Mobile data sharing method and mobile terminal

Technical Field

The present invention relates to the field of communications, and more particularly, to a mobile data sharing method and a mobile terminal.

Background

With the rise and popularization of mobile internet and Wireless Fidelity (WIFI) network, various Applications (APP) on mobile intelligent terminals are also greatly rising and used.

Because the flow charging of the mobile data network is different from the bandwidth monthly charging mode commonly used by a WIFI network, a plurality of mobile APPs such as a cloud picture library (cloud photo synchronization), application downloading and installation of an application market, and application downloading and installation of a Read-Only Memory (ROM) upgrading packet can judge the current network type when the functions related to large flow consumption are applied, if the judgment is that the mobile data network is the mobile data network, the user can be clearly prompted, and corresponding operation is performed after the user agrees or related large flow operation is not performed at all; if the WIFI network is judged, large-flow operation can be directly carried out, such as downloading of an application installation package or synchronization of cloud photos.

However, if the mobile terminal device accesses the internet through the WIFI hotspot shared by other mobile terminal devices (such as mobile phones), the situation may occur that various APPs determine that the WIFI network automatically starts a large flow operation, so that the mobile data network flow of the terminal device sharing the WIFI hotspot is greatly consumed, and the property loss of the user is caused.

The first mobile terminal is a mobile terminal accessed to a WIFI hotspot, and internal modules of the first mobile terminal can comprise an Application (APP), a Framework module (Framework) and a WIFI Driver module (WIFI Driver); the APP is positioned in an application layer and can perform related data flow operation according to the type of an access network; the WIFI Driver module (WIFI Driver) is positioned on the Driver layer and used for acquiring WIFI network information of the accessed WIFI hotspot; the Framework module (Framework) is located between the application layer and the drive layer and used for packaging a calling interface of WIFI network information of an APP access drive layer of the application layer and a WIFI hotspot module (WIFI HotPoint), and the Framework module (Framework) can transmit the underlying network information to the APP of the application layer.

In the communication system in the prior art, a system framework shown in fig. 1 may be adopted to implement a process of accessing a first mobile terminal to a WIFI hotspot established by a second mobile terminal. However, in the prior art, the first mobile terminal cannot identify whether the accessed WIFI hotspot is a self-established WIFI hotspot of the mobile terminal, and some applications related to large-traffic operation may be started, so that traffic of the mobile data network of the second mobile terminal is greatly consumed.

In order to solve the problem that a large amount of traffic of a mobile data network is consumed due to the fact that a WIFI hotspot established by a mobile terminal cannot be identified, the embodiment of the invention provides a mobile data sharing method and the mobile terminal.

Of course, it should be understood that the system block diagram of the communication system shown in fig. 1 is only one application scenario of the embodiment of the present invention, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited thereto. The method of the embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to the system block diagram of fig. 1.

It should be understood that the first mobile terminal mentioned throughout the present disclosure represents a mobile terminal accessing a WIFI hotspot, and the second mobile terminal mentioned throughout the present disclosure represents a mobile terminal establishing a WIFI hotspot, and will not be described again.

The first mobile terminal can send a first request to a WIFI hotspot established by the second mobile terminal to request to access the WIFI hotspot.

For example, in a typical access manner, a first mobile terminal may request access to a WIFI hotspot by: the method comprises the steps that a first mobile terminal obtains an accessible WIFI hotspot list by scanning hotspots; the method comprises the steps that a first mobile terminal selects one WIFI hotspot from WIFI hotspots to send an access request to access the WIFI hotspot; and the WIFI hotspot allows the first mobile terminal to access according to the access request of the first mobile terminal, and feeds back the response of the access request to the first mobile terminal.

Taking the android system as an example, in the android of the prior art, the android can pass

Getconfigurednetworks () method returns a list of wiconfiguration objects, and then calls the wifigagerenableinetwork () method to connect the specified hotspot.

202, receiving WIFI network information of the WIFI hotspot, wherein the WIFI network information carries tag information indicating that the WIFI hotspot is a self-established WIFI hotspot of the mobile terminal.

The WIFI network information of the embodiment of the invention can be expanded in the information of the WIFI network information transmission in the prior art. In the WIFI network information, except for the tag information, the rest may be similar to the WIFI network information of the WIFI hotspot acquired by the mobile terminal in the prior art.

Optionally, in a specific embodiment, the WIFI network information is WIFI network information of a WIFI hotspot acquired by the first mobile terminal in a stage of scanning the WIFI hotspot.

Taking an Android system as an example, in an Android system in the prior art, after a first mobile terminal enters a Setting module (Setting) and clicks a Scan (Scan), a startScan method of WifiManager is called, and after a Scan process is finished, a Scan result can be obtained through a WifiNative Scan result method. At this time, Service Set Identifier (SSID) parameters, Channel parameters, and the like of the WIFI hotspot may be obtained. The SSID parameter includes a Basic Service Set Identifier (BSSID) parameter indicating a Media Access Control (MAC) address of the WIFI hotspot, and an Extended Service Set Identifier (ESSID) parameter indicating a name of the WIFI hotspot. In the scanResults method of the Android system, BSSID parameter is usually BSSID, ESSID, and Channel parameter is freq.

In the embodiment of the invention, identification information can be added to the WIFI network information fed back by the scanResults to indicate whether the WIFI hotspot is a self-established WIFI hotspot of the mobile terminal, and the expanded bit is the marking information of the embodiment of the invention. Of course, the use of other ways of representing the label information is not excluded. If the WIFI hotspot is not the self-established WIFI hotspot of the mobile terminal, the marking information can be omitted.

In the embodiment of the present invention, step 202 may be performed before step 201.

Optionally, in another specific embodiment, the WIFI network information is WIFI network information that is fed back by the WIFI hotspot according to the first request of step 201.

Or, optionally, as another embodiment, the specific service operation is configured for the first mobile terminal by the second mobile terminal. For example, the second mobile terminal sends configuration information to all mobile terminals accessing the WIFI hotspot through the WIFI hotspot, and configures an operation of a transmission service related to pictures, audio, video, and the like as a specific service operation, and the like.

Or, optionally, as yet another embodiment, the specific service operation is an operation that the first mobile terminal preset at the time of factory shipment can preset a transmission service related to pictures, audio, video, and the like as the specific service operation at the time of factory shipment, and the like.

Or, optionally, the specific service operation is configured when an associated application of the first mobile terminal is configured by a user of the first mobile terminal, wherein the associated application refers to an application that is allowed to be started only when the first mobile terminal is allowed to perform the specific service operation. For example, a user of the first mobile terminal may set an APP such as a mobile phone map and an instant messaging tool as an associated application of a specific service operation, and when the first mobile terminal does not allow the specific service operation to be executed, the APP such as the mobile phone map and the instant messaging tool cannot be started; when the first mobile terminal allows the specific business operation to be executed, the APP such as a mobile phone map, an instant messaging tool and the like is allowed to be started.

The method for scanning the WIFI hotspot by the first mobile terminal may refer to the prior art. For example, in the Android system, after a first mobile terminal enters a Setting module (Setting) and clicks a Scan (Scan), a startScan method of WifiManager is called, and after the Scan process is finished, a Scan result can be obtained through a Scan results method of WifiNative. At this time, parameters such as a Service Set Identifier (SSID) parameter and a Channel parameter of the WIFI hotspot may be obtained. The SSID parameter includes a Basic Service Set Identifier (BSSID) parameter indicating a Media Access Control (MAC) address of the WIFI hotspot, and an Extended Service Set Identifier (ESSID) parameter indicating a name of the WIFI hotspot. In the scanResults method of the Android system, BSSID parameter is usually BSSID, ESSID, and Channel parameter is freq.

If the second mobile terminal records the identification information indicating whether the WIFI hotspot is the self-established WIFI hotspot of the mobile terminal in the first WIFI network information, the first mobile terminal can read the identification information from the first WIFI network information. At this time, the first mobile terminal may extend the corresponding Scan method and extract the identification information from the Scan results method.

303, the first mobile terminal sends a first request to the first WIFI hotspot.

The first mobile terminal can obtain a list containing a plurality of WIFI hotspots through scanning.

In the embodiment of the invention, the first mobile terminal selects the first WIFI hotspot established by the second mobile terminal to access. The first mobile terminal can send a first request to the first WIFI hotspot, and the first request is used for requesting to access the first WIFI hotspot.

Taking the android system as an example, in the android in the prior art, a list of wiconfiguration objects can be returned by a wifimanager.

And 304, the first WIFI hotspot feeds back second WIFI network information.

The first WIFI hotspot responds to the first request of the first mobile terminal, and the first mobile terminal is allowed to join the first WIFI hotspot. Meanwhile, the second mobile terminal feeds back the WIFI network information of the first WIFI hotspot to the first mobile terminal through the first WIFI hotspot. In order to distinguish from the WIFI network information broadcasted at the stage of establishing the WIFI hotspot, the WIFI network information at this stage is not called as second WIFI network information.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the second mobile terminal may also carry mark information in the second WIFI network information, where the mark information is used to indicate that the first WIFI hotspot is a self-established WIFI hotspot of the mobile terminal.

As shown in the system diagram of fig. 1, the second mobile terminal may receive the first request from the first mobile terminal through the underlying WIFI hotspot module. For the first mobile terminal, the second mobile terminal is equivalent to an Access Point (AP) device, and provides a service of the WIFI hotspot.

The second mobile terminal can feed back second WIFI network information of the first WIFI hotspot from the first WIFI hotspot to the first mobile terminal through the WIFI HotPoint module according to the first request of the first mobile terminal. In the embodiment of the invention, the second WIFI network information of the first WIFI hotspot can be expanded on the basis of the second WIFI network information fed back by the WIFI hotspot in the prior art, and a flag bit is added to carry the mark information.

Of course, it should be understood that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the second mobile terminal may also carry the identification information in the first WIFI network information, and may also carry the identification information in the second WIFI network information.

The first mobile terminal may store a WIFI network information record of the first WIFI network information and the second WIFI network information in a storage space (e.g., a memory space, etc.) of the first mobile terminal.

305, the APP of the first mobile terminal obtains the authority information for executing the specific service operation, and determines whether to start the specific service operation according to the authority information for executing the specific service operation.

It should be understood that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the specific service operation includes an operation involving large-flow data, such as an operation of uploading and downloading video, audio, or pictures.

When a first mobile terminal needs to perform a specific service operation, the specific service operation is performed through a related APP. The APP can determine whether the first WIFI hotspot accessed by the first mobile terminal is a self-established WIFI hotspot of the mobile terminal through the interface.

For example, in a specific implementation manner, the APP in the first mobile terminal may obtain the WIFI network information of the first WIFI hotspot through the interface. Specifically, for example, in the system block diagram shown in fig. 1, the APP in the mobile terminal 2 may read WIFI network information from a WIFI Driver module at a bottom layer of the first mobile terminal through an interface of a Framework, so as to obtain the identification information.

After the APP obtains the WIFI network information returned by the interface of the Framework, whether the WIFI network information has a zone bit carrying the mark information or not can be judged.

If the flag bit does not exist, the first WIFI hotspot is not the self-established WIFI hotspot of the mobile terminal, and specific service operation can be started.

If the flag bit exists, the first WIFI hotspot is the self-established WIFI hotspot of the mobile terminal, the specific service operation is determined not to be started, the started specific service operation is determined to be stopped, or request confirmation information is sent to a user of the first mobile terminal, and the request confirmation information is used for requesting to confirm whether the specific service operation is carried out.

If the APP requests the user of the first mobile terminal to confirm whether to perform the specific service operation, after the APP obtains the confirmation of the user of the first mobile terminal, the specific service operation can be directly performed, or the first mobile terminal is prompted to switch the current network connection of the first mobile terminal to the mobile data network of the first mobile terminal, and the specific service operation is performed through the mobile data network of the first mobile terminal.

Alternatively, for example, in another specific implementation, the first mobile terminal may set a specific business operation mode in which the relevant app is allowed to execute when the specific business operation mode is turned on. When the first mobile terminal determines that the first WIFI hotspot is the self-established WIFI hotspot of the mobile terminal, the specific service operation mode can be determined to be closed. When the app is ready to start, information of a specific business operation mode is read through the interface, and it is then determined whether a specific business operation is started.

It should be understood that the APP of the embodiment of the present invention may be regarded as an internal implementation of the first mobile terminal, and the first mobile terminal including the APP as a whole is used to execute the method of the embodiment shown in fig. 2.

According to the method provided by the embodiment of the invention, by expanding the WIFI network information, the mark information for representing the self-built WIFI hotspot of the mobile terminal is added, and whether the specific service operation is carried out or not is determined according to whether the first WIFI hotspot is the self-built WIFI hotspot of the mobile terminal, so that unnecessary mobile data network flow consumption can be avoided, and the loss of a user is avoided.

And 306, the first mobile terminal sends a second request to the first WIFI hotspot.

It should be understood that, if the first mobile terminal needs to perform the specific service operation, the first mobile terminal may further send a second request to the first WIFI hotspot, requesting a user of the second mobile terminal sharing the first WIFI hotspot to allow the first mobile terminal to perform the specific service operation.

307, the second mobile terminal feeds back a response of the second request.

The second mobile terminal may feed back a response of the second request to the first mobile terminal according to the second request of the first mobile terminal.

Wherein the response indicates that the second mobile terminal allows the first mobile terminal to perform the specific service operation, or the response indicates that the second mobile terminal does not allow the first mobile terminal to perform the specific service operation.

If the response indicates that the second mobile terminal allows the first mobile terminal to perform the specific service operation, the first mobile terminal performs the specific service operation; or, if the response indicates that the second mobile terminal does not allow the first mobile terminal to execute the specific service operation, the first mobile terminal switches the current network connection of the first mobile terminal to the mobile data network of the first mobile terminal and executes the specific service operation; or, if the response indicates that the second mobile terminal does not allow the first mobile terminal to perform the specific service operation, the first mobile terminal does not perform the specific service operation.

It should be understood that the particular business operation may be of some specific business type.

For example, the first mobile terminal may also configure the specific service operation before accessing the WIFI hotspot or after accessing the WIFI hotspot. In particular, the user of the first mobile terminal may configure the type of service to which the particular service operation relates, e.g., the user of the first mobile terminal may configure an operation of a transmission service involving pictures, audio, video, etc. to be the particular service operation, and so on.

Or, the specific service operation may also be configured by the first mobile terminal according to configuration information sent by the WIFI hotspot. The second mobile terminal may send configuration information to the first mobile terminal through the WIFI hotspot, where the configuration information includes a service type included in the specific service operation, and the like.

Alternatively, the specific service operation may be pre-configured by the first mobile terminal at the time of factory shipment.

In addition, the specific business operation may be associated with some applications. These associated applications are applications that are allowed to be started only if the first mobile terminal is allowed to perform the specific service operation. The user of the first mobile terminal may configure the associated application for that particular service operation.

Taking the Android system as an example, APP may obtain current network information through standard interfaces such as ConnectivityManager and TelephonyManager of Framework.

After obtaining the access network information returned by the interface of the Framework, the APP can judge that the network type of the current access network is a mobile data network. At this time, the APP determines not to start the specific service operation, or determines to stop the started specific service operation, or sends request confirmation information to the user of the first mobile terminal, where the request confirmation information is used to request confirmation of whether to perform the specific service operation.

Alternatively, for example, in another specific implementation, the first mobile terminal may set a specific business operation mode in which the relevant app is allowed to execute when the specific business operation mode is turned on. When the first mobile terminal virtualizes the accessed WIFI hotspot as a mobile data network, it can be determined that the specific service operation mode is closed.
