Detailed ways

Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Where the following description refers to the drawings, the same numerals in different drawings refer to the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The implementations described in the illustrative examples below are not intended to represent all implementations consistent with this disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with some aspects of the present disclosure as recited in the appended claims.

An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a network connection control method. FIG. 1 is a flow chart 1 of a network connection control method according to an exemplary embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1 , the network connection control method includes the following steps:

Step 101, when the mobile device is within the coverage of the first network, determine whether the mobile device is successfully connected to the first network;

Step 102: If the connection to the first network fails, prohibit the mobile device from automatically switching from connecting to the first network to connecting to the second network, and output prompt information; wherein the network performance of the second network is lower than the Describe the first network.

It should be noted that the network connection control method can be applied to any mobile device, and the mobile device can be: a smart phone, a tablet computer, a desktop computer, or a digital camera.

The mobile device supports multiple network connection methods. For example, a long-distance wireless network and a short-distance wireless network are supported; the long-distance wireless network may be 5G, 4G, 3G or 2G, etc.; the short-distance wireless network may be WIFI and the like.

In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the first network at least includes: WIFI.

The second network may be: the above-mentioned long-distance wireless network; or other WIFI. The other WIFIs include: WIFIs with overlapping coverages of the WIFIs corresponding to the first network.

For example, if the first network is the first WIFI, the second network may be 5G, 4G, 3G or 2G, etc.

For another example, if the first network is the first WIFI, the second network may be the second WIFI; the second WIFI may be a public WIFI. For example, the first WIFI is the WIFI at home, and the second network can be the WIFI of the next door.

It should be noted that the network performance of the second network is lower than that of the first network.

Here, network performance is used to indicate the connection and operation effect of the network, and better network performance can improve user satisfaction. In this embodiment of the present disclosure, indicators for measuring network performance may include bandwidth and signal strength. Among them, the greater the bandwidth, the greater the amount of data transmitted per unit time, and the stronger the network performance. Similarly, the greater the signal strength, the stronger the connection capability and the stronger the corresponding network performance.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the network performance of the second network is lower than that of the first network; that is, the first network has better network performance than the second network. When the mobile device is connected to the network in the current environment, because the signal strength of the first network is higher, it will establish a connection with the first network first; if it is successfully connected to the first network, it can transmit data with better data transmission capability , which is more beneficial to users.

In other embodiments, the tariff of the second network may be lower than that of the first network; for example, the first network may be a traffic-free network, and the second network may be a traffic-charging network. Alternatively, the first network is a network with a lower rate for traffic charging, and the second network is a network with a higher rate for traffic charging. Still alternatively, the first network is a network that charges according to the usage time, and the second network is a network that charges according to the flow.

As a specific example, when the first network is WIFI, the second network is 4G. Since 4G requires tariffs, when the mobile device fails to connect to WIFI and automatically changes from WIFI to 4G, tariffs will be incurred, which is not conducive to user use. In this way, even if temporarily connecting to the first network fails, the mobile device is prohibited from automatically switching to connecting to the second network, which can effectively avoid unnecessary charges. At this time, only the network that the mobile device is connected to is prohibited from automatically changing from WIFI connection to 4G can effectively avoid unnecessary loss of tariffs.

In this way, when the mobile device is within the coverage of the first network but fails to connect to the first network, the mobile device can be prevented from automatically switching from connecting to the first network to connecting to the second network to minimize Protect the interests of users.

In this way, when it is detected that the mobile device is within the coverage of the first network, but fails to connect to the first network, by prohibiting the mobile device from automatically switching from connecting to the first network to connecting to the second network, it can be effectively avoided. When the mobile device fails to connect to the first network, it can automatically switch to the second network, resulting in an unsatisfactory situation, which improves the user experience.

Here, whether the mobile device is within the coverage of the first network may be determined based on detection of location information of the mobile device. The location information may be information representing location coordinates or latitude and longitude information, and may be specifically detected by a global positioning system (GPS) in the mobile device.

It should be noted that, the mobile device is within the coverage of the first network, but there are many possible situations in which the connection to the first network fails.

For example, it may be that the mobile device fails to connect to the first network after moving from outside the coverage of the first network to the coverage of the first network; that is, when it is within the coverage of the first network, it has not successfully connected to the first network. a network.

Also, for example, it may be that after the mobile device moves from outside the coverage of the first network to within the coverage of the first network, it first successfully connects to the first network, but then it happens: within the coverage of the first network The connection state with the first network changes from successful connection to connection failure; or when it is within the coverage of the first network, it is in the state of successful connection with the first network first, but then becomes failure due to some reasons.

It should also be noted that, since the mobile device is currently within the coverage of the first network, if it has successfully connected to the first network before, when the mobile device is within the coverage of the first network again, and the wireless network is turned on. When the function is connected, it will automatically connect to the first network. Then, before steps 101 and 102, the network connection control method further includes:

Determine whether the mobile device is successfully connected to the first network in the historical use;

After successfully connecting to the first network in historical use, the above steps 101 and 102 are performed.

Here, if the first network is not successfully connected in the historical use, the above steps 101 and 102 are not executed.

In determining whether the mobile device is successfully connected to the first network in the historical use, it can be determined by querying the network connection information stored in the mobile device. That is, if the mobile device is successfully connected to the first network in historical use, the network connection information of the first network will be stored correspondingly. If the network connection information of the first network is not stored in the mobile device, it is considered that there is no successful connection in historical use. on the first network.

The connection information may include at least account information.

For example, for an unencrypted public network, the connection information of the first network includes at least account information. For an encrypted private network, the connection information of the first network may include account information and password information.

Further, when the mobile device is within the coverage of the first network, but it is determined that the connection to the first network fails, the network connection control method of the present disclosure, except that the mobile device is prohibited from automatically switching from connecting to the first network to connecting to the first network. The second network can also output prompt information.

The prompt information includes: prompt information for prompting the reason for failing to connect to the first network, or prompt information for prompting how to operate when the connection to the first network fails.

In this way, by outputting the prompt information, the user can directly know the current network connection situation, and it is also convenient for the user to operate in time, to successfully connect to the first network as soon as possible, and to effectively avoid the unknown situation of the user. A network switch has occurred.

In some embodiments, the prompt information may be output through the display screen of the mobile device when it is determined that the connection to the first network fails. Here, when outputting through the display screen, prompt information can be popped up directly on the display screen, or output in the form of a short message.

In other embodiments, the prompt information may be output through the speaker of the mobile device when it is determined that the connection to the first network fails.

Here, the speaker output can quickly let the user know the situation compared to the display output. But maybe in the silent mode of the mobile device, the speaker output is ignored, so the display output may better ensure that the user is informed of the information. The present disclosure does not limit the output manner of the prompt information, which can be selected or combined as required.

In some embodiments, the prompt information prompts one of the following:

enabling the connection function of the first network;

restarting the router of the first network;

The first network connection is wrong.

Here, the prompt to enable the connection function of the first network and to restart the router of the first network belongs to the prompt information that prompts how to operate when the connection to the first network fails. The prompting the first network connection error belongs to: prompting information prompting the reason for the failure to connect to the first network.

Since the mobile device is within the coverage of the first network, there may be various reasons for the failure to connect to the first network; for example, the connection function of the first network is not enabled on the mobile device, such as not opening WIFI or mobile cellular network connection. For another example, the connection function of the first network is enabled on the mobile device, but an error occurs in connection with the first network. As another example, the router of the first network fails.

It should be noted that the above-mentioned error in connection with the first network may be: the connection information of the first network has been replaced, and the first network cannot be successfully connected based on the old connection information; it may also be: the connection information of the first network No replacement has occurred, but the first network cannot be successfully connected due to network fluctuations and other reasons during the connection.

The failure of the router of the first network may be: the router often fails to transmit signals normally when it works for a long time; it may also be: the router itself has a functional failure, for example, the power supply is damaged, the wireless transmission module is damaged or the processing chip is damaged. damage, etc.

In this way, when the connection to the first network fails, the above prompt information can be generated, on the one hand, the user can be informed of the current network connection situation, and can also prompt the user what operation can be performed to achieve the connection with the first network as much as possible. The connection to the network is successful.

In some embodiments, FIG. 2 is a second flowchart of a network connection control method according to an exemplary embodiment. As shown in FIG. 2 , in step 102, the output prompt information includes:

Step 1021, when it is determined that the mobile device does not enable the connection function of the first network, output a prompt message prompting to enable the connection function of the first network;

or,

Step 1022, when it is determined that the mobile device has enabled the connection function of the first network, output prompt information indicating that the first network is connected incorrectly or output prompt information prompting restarting the first network.

Here, as mentioned above, the mobile device is within the coverage of the first network, but there may be various reasons for the failure to connect to the first network. When it is determined that the connection to the first network fails, a piece of prompt information is arbitrarily selected for output, and no use of problem solving.

In this embodiment of the present disclosure, when it is determined that the connection to the first network fails, it is first determined whether the mobile device has enabled the connection function of the first network. The reason for the failure of the first network is that the mobile device does not enable the connection function of the first network. In this way, after inputting prompt information prompting to enable the connection function of the first network, there is a high possibility that the connection with the first network can be made successful.

On the other hand, if it is determined that the connection function of the first network is enabled, it indicates that the reason for the failure to connect to the first network is other reasons, and at this time, a prompt message or output indicating that the first network connection is wrong can be output. The prompt information for prompting to restart the first network is used to prompt the user to perform a corresponding operation.

In this way, different prompt information can be output according to different situations, which is convenient for the user to solve the problem of failure to connect to the first network in a timely and effective manner, and can also improve the success rate of problem solving.

In some embodiments, the method further includes:

Obtain network connection information of the mobile device.

The network connection information indicates: the currently connected network and the connection status with the network.

The connection status to this network includes: connection successful or connection failure.

For example, the network connection information indicates that the network currently connected to the mobile device is the first WIFI, and indicates that the connection status with the first WIFI is successful.

Based on the network connection information, when it is determined that the mobile device has enabled the connection function of the first network, outputting prompt information indicating that the first network connection is incorrect, including:

After it is determined that the mobile device has enabled the connection function of the first network, and it is determined according to the network connection information that the mobile device is within the coverage of the first network, and the connection status of the first network When the connection succeeds to the connection failure, prompt information indicating that the first network connection is wrong is output.

Here, after the mobile device moves from outside the coverage of the first network to within the coverage of the first network, the connection to the first network is successful, but the mobile device is connected to the first network within the coverage of the first network. When the connection status of the network changes from successful connection to connection failure, because there is a successful connection, it will not be a problem that the connection function of the first network is not enabled, and it can be considered that an error has occurred in the connection with the first network. .

In some embodiments, when it is determined that the mobile device has enabled the connection function of the first network, outputting prompt information prompting to restart the first network includes:

When it is determined that the mobile device has enabled the connection function of the first network, re-establish the connection with the first network;

When the number of times of connection re-establishment with the first network exceeds a preset threshold, output prompt information prompting restarting the first network.

Here, since the connection function of the first network is enabled, but the reason for the failure to connect to the first network cannot be directly determined, you can try to perform some operations to solve the problem of the failure to connect to the first network, for example, first try to re-establish connection to the first network.

Here, the re-establishment of the connection with the first network may be to automatically initiate the connection according to the connection information stored in the mobile device. It is also possible that, in the automatic connection, when detecting the prompt information that the connection information is wrong, an input box of the connection information is output, so as to facilitate the user to re-input the connection information.

The connection information includes: account information and password information.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, a preset threshold is set for the number of times of establishing a connection with the first network. When the number of reconstructions exceeds the preset threshold, it may be a problem with the router, and the user may be prompted to restart the router.

In the process of re-establishing the connection with the first network, if the previous first network connection error was due to network fluctuations, in the subsequent reconnection, there is a high probability that the connection will be successful; or the previous first network connection error If the connection information is changed, there is a high probability that the connection will be successful after re-entering the connection information subsequently. If the multiple connections of the preset threshold are unsuccessful, it may be considered that the router is faulty, and the user may be prompted to restart the router.

In some embodiments, the method further includes:

After the router is restarted, if the connection with the first network still fails, prompt information indicating that the router of the first network is functionally faulty is output.

As mentioned above, the failure of the router of the first network may be: the router often transmits signals abnormally when it works for a long time; it may also be: the router itself has a functional failure, for example, the power supply is damaged, the wireless module damage or handle chip damage, etc. If the signal cannot be transmitted normally due to long-term work, it can be solved by restarting the router. However, if the router itself has a functional failure, restarting cannot solve the problem. At this time, a prompt message of the first network functional failure is output to prompt the user to replace the router, or repair the router.

In some embodiments, FIG. 3 is a third flowchart of a network connection control method according to an exemplary embodiment. As shown in FIG. 3 , the method further includes:

Step 103, acquiring the movement information of the mobile device;

Step 104: Determine whether the mobile device is within the coverage of the first network according to the movement information.

By acquiring the movement information of the mobile device, it is determined whether the mobile device is within the coverage of the first network at each detection moment.

In some embodiments, the movement information includes at least one of the following:

The acceleration detected by the acceleration sensor;

The speed detected by the speed sensor.

Here, the mobile device contains an acceleration sensor or a speed sensor. The acceleration sensor is used for detecting acceleration information, and the speed sensor is used for detecting speed information.

The acceleration sensor includes: a three-axis acceleration sensor or a single-axis acceleration sensor.

It should be noted that, when only the acceleration sensor is included in the mobile device, the acceleration information detected by the acceleration sensor will be obtained first, and then the acceleration information will be multiplied to obtain the speed information.

In conclusion, in this embodiment of the present disclosure, the movement information may be used to determine whether the mobile device is located within the coverage of the first network.

In some embodiments, the determining whether the mobile device is within the coverage of the first network according to the movement information includes:

According to the movement information, determine the movement track of the mobile device;

According to the movement track, obtain the target movement position of the mobile device;

According to the target mobile location and the coverage of the first network, it is determined whether the mobile device is within the coverage of the first network.

Here, in some embodiments, when the movement information includes: acceleration information detected by an acceleration sensor or speed information detected by a speed sensor, determining the movement trajectory of the mobile device according to the movement information may be:

Integrating the acceleration information or the velocity information to determine the displacement of the mobile device;

The movement track of the mobile device is determined according to the displacement and the positioning information of the mobile device when the acceleration sensor or the speed sensor is activated.

Here, the displacement refers to the moving distance of the mobile device.

Specifically, the moving distance of the mobile device may be determined based on acceleration information or speed information detected at multiple adjacent detection moments. The two adjacent detection moments include: the current detection moment and the previous detection moment, or the current detection moment and the next detection moment. The two adjacent detection moments are: two detection time points on the detection time axis.

The acceleration sensor can directly measure the acceleration of the mobile device. According to the distance calculation formula, the distance is proportional to the square of the acceleration. Then, the moving distance of the mobile device in the embodiment of the present disclosure may be obtained by double-integrating the acceleration. Correspondingly, the speed sensor can directly measure the speed of the mobile device. According to the distance calculation formula, the distance is proportional to the speed. Then, the moving distance of the mobile device in the embodiment of the present disclosure may be obtained by directly integrating the speed.

In this way, after obtaining the displacement of the mobile device in the time interval between two adjacent detection moments, the position of the previous detection moment in the two adjacent detection moments is further determined, and the displacement is added to the position, You can get the current location of the mobile device. Here, the positioning information of the mobile device at the activation time of the acceleration sensor or the speed sensor can be obtained, and the movement trajectory of the mobile device can be determined based on the positioning information combined with the displacements determined at multiple detection moments.

It should be noted that the positioning information can be obtained through GPS detection in the mobile device. The acceleration determined by the acceleration sensor not only includes the value of the acceleration itself, but also includes the direction of the acceleration. Based on the displacement in this direction and the positioning information of the mobile device at the moment of activation of the acceleration sensor or the speed sensor, the movement trajectory can be obtained. The corresponding speed sensor can also determine the speed direction, which is not repeated in this disclosure.

This method based on direct sensor detection is simple and convenient, and the acceleration sensor or the speed sensor cooperates with the GPS, which provides the possibility of realizing the determination of the movement trajectory of the mobile device.

After the movement trajectory of the mobile device is determined, the present disclosure needs to match the trajectory with the coverage of the first network to determine whether the mobile device is within the coverage of the first network.

Here, in some embodiments, the determination of the coverage of the first network may be:

Obtaining corresponding positioning information when the network signal of the first network is detected;

Based on the positioning information, the coverage of the first network is determined.

That is, in the historical use of the mobile device, when the network signal of the first network is detected while moving, it means that the mobile device has entered the coverage of the first network at this time. , multiple pieces of positioning information are collected in time, and the coverage of the first network can be determined based on multiple pieces of the positioning information.

In this way, after knowing the movement track of the movement track of the mobile device, it can be determined whether the mobile device moves out of the coverage range of the first network based on the comparison between the movement track and the coverage range of the first network.

In the network connection control method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, when the mobile device is within the coverage of the first network, it is first determined whether the mobile device is successfully connected to the first network; if the connection to the first network fails, the mobile device is prohibited from automatically Connecting to the first network switches to connecting to the second network. In this way, when it is detected that the mobile device is within the coverage of the first network but fails to connect to the first network, by prohibiting the mobile device from automatically switching from connecting to the first network to connecting to the second network, it can be effectively avoided. Undesirable situations caused by the failure of the mobile device to connect to the first network and automatically switch to the second network; for example, it can effectively prevent the mobile device from being connected to WIFI, but automatically switch to cellular mobile communications such as 4G or 5G networks Other low-priority networks will result in additional charges.

In addition, when the connection to the first network fails, the user can be informed of the connection failure in a timely manner by outputting prompt information, so that the user can find a response method in time based on the prompt information, which can improve the user experience.

The present disclosure further provides a network connection control apparatus. FIG. 4 is a schematic structural diagram of a network connection control apparatus according to an exemplary embodiment. As shown in FIG. 4 , the network connection control apparatus 400 includes:
