In other scenarios where there is no WiFi signal that the laptop and mobile phone can connect to, the mobile phone can use the mobile network to surf the Internet, and turn on the network hotspot as the master device, and the laptop connects to the network hotspot of the mobile phone as the slave device. . When the above other scene is switched to the office scene, the company’s WiFi signal coverage exists, but the laptop is still connected to the mobile phone’s network hotspot. In order to reduce the power consumption of the mobile phone, the user needs to manually turn off the mobile phone’s network Connect to your company's WiFi network. When the above other scenes are switched to the home scene, the mobile phone can automatically connect to the home WiFi network. In order to reduce the power consumption of the mobile phone, the user still needs to manually turn off the network hotspot of the mobile phone and connect the laptop network to the home WiFi network. .

To sum up, when the scene of the terminal device changes, the user needs to manually switch the network connection status between multiple terminal devices, which makes the network connection of the terminal device less efficient and less flexible.

In order to solve the above problems, this application provides a network connection method and device, by judging whether the scene where the terminal device is located changes, and determining the role of the terminal device according to the changed scene (that is, the terminal device is a master device or a slave device) , in combination with the changed scene and the role of the terminal device for network connection. In this way, a new network connection mode can be determined according to the changed scene, and the network connection is automatically performed according to the new network connection mode, which can improve the efficiency and flexibility of the network connection while reducing the power consumption of the terminal device.

The following describes the network connection method of the present application in detail with reference to FIGS. 6 to 9 . This method is applicable to multiple terminal devices that log in with the same account, and multiple terminal devices have a hotspot sharing function. The method for sharing a hotspot can be performed by any terminal device among the above-mentioned multiple terminal devices, such as a mobile phone, a smart bracelet, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, a desktop computer, etc., and this application does not specifically limit it. In the following, the network connection method according to the embodiment of the present application will be described in detail by taking the first terminal device and the second terminal device among the multiple terminal devices as an example.

FIG. 6 is a schematic flowchart of a network connection method 600 provided by an embodiment of the present application. The method 600 is applied to a system including a first terminal device and a second terminal device, the first terminal device and the second terminal device both have a hotspot sharing function, and the user logs in the same account on the first terminal device and the second terminal device . The hardware structure of the terminal device involved in the method 600 may be shown in FIG. 4 , and the software structure may be shown in FIG. 5 . The method 600 includes the following steps:

S601. When the scene where the first terminal device is located changes, the first terminal device determines that the target scene after the change is a family scene, other scenes, or an office scene, and the other scenes are scenes other than the home scene and the office scene. .

The hotspot sharing function means that the terminal device can turn on the network hotspot, and can also connect to the network hotspot of other terminal devices. Exemplarily, the tablet computer has a hotspot sharing function, the tablet computer can connect to a WiFi signal, and open a network hotspot, and other terminal devices can connect to the network hotspot of the tablet computer. Tablet PCs can also connect to network hotspots of other terminal devices.

It should be understood that an account refers to an account used for registering a terminal device. After registering an account, the user can log in the account corresponding to the account in the terminal device. The same user can log in the same account in multiple terminal devices, and the multiple terminal devices are mutually trusted devices, and the trusted devices can share data information, such as account numbers and passwords of network hotspots.

The above-mentioned home scene and office scene are defined according to the user's living place and work place. For example, when the first terminal device and the second terminal device are located in the company where the user works, it can be considered that they are currently in the office scene. When the second terminal device is located in the user's home, a friend's home, or other indoor entertainment places, it may be considered that it is currently in a home scene. Other scenes refer to scenes other than home scenes and office scenes, and other scenes include other scenes.

It should be understood that the WiFi signal in the home scene, the user's personal device and office device can all be automatically connected. For the WiFi signal in the office scene, the user's office equipment can be automatically connected, but the personal equipment cannot be connected. No WiFi signal exists in other scenarios.

The target scene refers to a scene after the scene where the first terminal device is located changes. Exemplarily, if the scene where the first terminal device is located changes from the first scene to the second scene, then the second scene is the target scene.

S602. Based on the target scenario, the first terminal device determines a network role of the first terminal device and a network role of the second terminal device, where the network role is a master device or a slave device.

It should be understood that the main device is a terminal device capable of opening a network hotspot and allowing other terminal devices to connect to its network hotspot. The slave device is a terminal device that can connect to the network hotspot of the master device.

The foregoing system including the first terminal device and the second terminal device means that the system includes at least two terminal devices. Exemplarily, the at least two terminal devices include both the user's personal device and the user's office device. The first terminal device and the second terminal device are two devices with different attributes among the above at least two terminal devices, and the attributes refer to office device attributes and private device attributes. Exemplarily, if the first terminal device is an office device, then the second terminal device is a personal device; if the first terminal device is a private device, then the second terminal device is an office device. The first terminal device and the second terminal device move with the movement of the user, and when the scene where the first terminal device is located changes, the scene where the second terminal device and the first terminal device are located undergoes the same change.

It can be understood that in different scenarios, the network connection conditions of the user's personal device and the office device are different, and the roles of the personal device and the office device are also different.

S603. The first terminal device connects to the network in combination with the target scene, the network role of the first terminal device, and the network role of the second terminal device.

Connecting to the network means that the first terminal device is connected to a WiFi network, a mobile network or a network hotspot. The first terminal device may determine the network to be connected to according to the network role of the first terminal device. Exemplarily, if the network role of the first terminal device is a slave device, the first terminal device connects to the network hotspot of the second terminal device. If the network role of the first terminal device is the master device, the first terminal device may connect to a WiFi network or a mobile network.

In the network connection method provided by the embodiment of the present application, when the scene where the first terminal device is located changes, the first terminal device determines the network role of the first terminal device according to the changed scene (that is, the first terminal device acts as the master device or Slave device), and then combined with the changed scene to determine whether the network to be connected to the first terminal device is a WiFi network, a mobile network or a network hotspot, that is, to perform network connection in combination with the changed scene and the role of the terminal device, so that when the first terminal When the scene where the device is located changes, the first terminal device can determine a new network connection mode according to the changed scene, and automatically connect to the network according to the new network connection mode, without requiring the user to manually switch the network connection between multiple terminal devices , which can improve the efficiency and flexibility of network connection while reducing the power consumption of terminal equipment.

As an optional embodiment, the above S601 can be implemented in the following manner: the first terminal device according to the geographic location of the first terminal device and/or the WiFi network identifier of at least one WiFi network to be connected in the WiFi network list of the first terminal device , to determine the target scene as a family scene, other scenes, or an office scene.

In a possible implementation manner, the first terminal device may determine, according to the geographical location of the first terminal device, that the target scene is a family scene, another scene, or an office scene.

Exemplarily, the first terminal device pre-stores a geographical area corresponding to a home scene and a geographical area corresponding to an office scene. When the current geographic location of the first terminal device belongs to the geographic area corresponding to the home scene, the first terminal device may determine that the target scene is a home scene; when the current geographic location of the first terminal device belongs to the geographic area corresponding to the office scene, then The first terminal device may determine that the target scene is an office scene; Scenes are other scenes.

In another possible implementation manner, the first terminal device may determine that the target scene is a home scene, another scene or an office scene according to the WiFi network identifier of at least one WiFi network to be connected in the WiFi network list of the first terminal device.

The WiFi network identification may refer to the name of the WiFi network. Exemplarily, the WiFi network list includes the name of at least one available WiFi network of the first terminal device, and the available WiFi network refers to a WiFi network whose WiFi signal can cover the location where the first terminal device is located. Among available WiFi networks, a WiFi network to which the first terminal device can automatically connect is called a WiFi network to be connected. The first terminal device pre-stores the password and name of the WiFi network to be connected, and when the first terminal device moves within the signal coverage of the WiFi network to be connected, the first terminal device can automatically connect to the WiFi network to be connected.

It should be understood that different WiFi signals correspond to different names of WiFi networks. The WiFi signals in the home scene and the office scene are different, and the names of the WiFi networks in the home scene and the office scene are also different. When the WiFi network identifier in the home scene appears in the WiFi network list of the first terminal device, it indicates that the scene in which the first terminal device is located is a home scene; when the WiFi network in the office scene appears in the WiFi network list of the first terminal device When identifying, it indicates that the scene where the first terminal device is located is an office scene; when the WiFi network identification in the home scene and the WiFi network identification in the office scene do not exist in the WiFi network list of the first terminal device, it indicates that the first terminal device The scene you are in is another scene.

In yet another possible implementation manner, the first terminal device may determine that the target scene is a home scene according to the geographic location of the first terminal device and the WiFi network identifier of at least one WiFi network to be connected in the WiFi network list of the first terminal device , other scenes or office scenes.

If the target scene determined by the first terminal device through the geographic location is the same as the target scene determined by the WiFi network identifier of at least one WiFi network to be connected in the WiFi network list of the first terminal device, the target scene is determined. Exemplarily, the target scene determined by the first terminal device through the geographic location and the target scene determined by the WiFi network identifier of at least one WiFi network to be connected in the WiFi network list of the first terminal device are both home scenes, and the target scene is the home scene. Scenes.

When the target scene determined by the first terminal device through the geographic location is different from the target scene determined by the WiFi network identifier of at least one WiFi network to be connected in the WiFi network list of the first terminal device, the first terminal device may directly use the The target scene determined by the WiFi network identifier of at least one WiFi network to be connected in the WiFi network list of the first terminal device shall prevail, or the first terminal device may determine the target scene as another scene. Exemplarily, it is assumed that the target scene determined by the first terminal device through the geographic location is the home scene, and the target scene determined by the WiFi network identifier of at least one WiFi network to be connected in the WiFi network list of the first terminal device is the office scene. If the target scene determined by the WiFi network identifier of at least one WiFi network to be connected in the WiFi network list of the first terminal device prevails, the target scene is an office scene; or, the target scene can also be determined to be other scenes.

FIG. 7 is a schematic flowchart of another network connection method 700 provided by the embodiment of the present application. The method 700 is applied to a system including a first terminal device and a second terminal device. In method 700, the first terminal device is an office device, the second terminal device is a personal device, both of the first terminal device and the second terminal device have a hotspot sharing function, and the user has logged in the first terminal device and the second terminal device same account. The hardware structure of the terminal device involved in the method 700 may be shown in FIG. 4 , and the software structure of the terminal device may be shown in FIG. 5 . The method 700 includes the following steps:

S701. When the scene where the first terminal device is located changes, the first terminal device determines that the target scene after the change is a home scene, other scenes, or an office scene, and the other scenes are scenes other than the home scene and the office scene. .

It should be understood that the specific implementation manner of S701 is the same as that of S601 in FIG. 6 , and will not be repeated here.

In a possible implementation manner, the target scene is other scenes, and the first terminal device executes S702-S707.

S702. Based on the target scene, the first terminal device determines that the first terminal device is a slave device, and that the second terminal device is a master device.

S703. The first terminal device determines whether the second terminal device enables a network hotspot;

If yes, execute S704;

If not, execute S705.

S704. When the second terminal device turns on the network hotspot, the first terminal device connects to the network hotspot.

It should be understood that in other scenarios, private devices and office devices cannot connect to the WiFi network. In this way, the private device can use the mobile network, and at the same time, the private device acts as the master device to open the network hotspot, and the office device can serve as the slave device to connect to the network hotspot of the master device. Therefore, when the second terminal device turns on the network hotspot, the first terminal device connects to the network hotspot as a slave device.

S705. When the second terminal device does not enable the network hotspot, the first terminal device sends a wake-up message to the second terminal device, where the wake-up message is used to notify the second terminal device to enable the network hotspot.

S706. The first terminal device receives network hotspot information from the second terminal device, where the network hotspot information includes account information and password information of the network hotspot.

The second terminal device determines that the first terminal device is a trusted device of the second terminal device according to the wake-up message sent by the first terminal device, and sends network hotspot information to the first terminal device after enabling the network hotspot.

S707. The first terminal device connects to the network hotspot according to the network hotspot information.

The first terminal device sends the above account information and password information to the second terminal device to pass the authority verification of the network hotspot of the second terminal device, and then connects to the network hotspot of the second terminal device, and surfs the Internet through the network hotspot.

Specifically, the interaction process between the first terminal device and the second terminal device is shown in FIG. 8 , wherein the network role of the first terminal device is a slave device, and the network role of the second terminal device is a master device. In FIG. 8 , the first terminal device has a network usage requirement, and the first terminal device sends a wake-up message to the second terminal device to notify the main device to enable the network hotspot. The first terminal device determines that there is a network usage requirement, for example, the screen may be turned on for the first terminal device. Exemplarily, the first terminal device may send a wake-up message to the second terminal device through Bluetooth or Bluetooth low energy consumption. The wake-up message may include account information logged in by the first terminal device. After receiving the above account information, the second terminal device confirms that the first terminal device is a trusted device, and then turns on the network hotspot. The second terminal device sends the network hotspot information to the first terminal device, so that the first terminal device connects to the network hotspot according to the account number and password in the network hotspot information.

Optionally, after the first terminal device connects to the network hotspot of the second terminal device, when the first terminal device is in a dormant state, the first terminal device may send a dormancy notification message to the second terminal device, and the dormancy notification message uses to notify the second terminal device that the first terminal device is in a dormant state.

Continuing to refer to FIG. 8 , when the first terminal device is in a dormant state, that is, when the first terminal device has no network usage requirements, in order to reduce the power consumption of the second terminal device, the first terminal device sends a notification to the second terminal device The second terminal device closes the dormancy notification message of the hotspot. Specifically, the dormancy notification message may be sent via Bluetooth or Bluetooth Low Energy. The second terminal device receives the dormancy notification message, and closes the network hotspot according to the dormancy notification message.

Optionally, after receiving the dormancy notification message sent by the first terminal device, the second terminal device does not receive the wake-up message sent by the first terminal device within the first preset time period, then the second terminal device closes the network hotspot.

The first preset duration and any preset duration may be, for example, 1 min, 5 min, and so on. When the first terminal device sends the dormancy notification message to the second terminal device, it indicates that the first terminal device does not have a network usage requirement at this time. If the second terminal device receives the wake-up message sent by the first terminal device within the first preset time period, it means that the first terminal device is only in sleep for a short time, and the second terminal device does not need to close the network hotspot at this time. If the second terminal device does not receive the wake-up message sent by the first terminal device within the first preset time period, it means that the first terminal device has no need for network use in a short period of time, and at this time the second terminal device turns off the network hotspot.

In another possible implementation manner, the target scene is a home scene, and the first terminal device executes S708-S709.

S708. Based on the target scene, the first terminal device determines that both the first terminal device and the second terminal device are master devices.

It should be understood that in the home scene, both the personal device and the office device can be connected to the WiFi network existing in the home scene, and there is no terminal device that needs to connect to the network hotspot at this time. Therefore, both the first terminal device and the second terminal device act as master devices.

S709. In a case where there is a wireless fidelity WiFi signal in the target scene, the first terminal device connects to the WiFi network in the target scene.

Before the scene where the first terminal device is located changes, the first terminal device may serve as a slave device to connect to the network hotspot of the second terminal device, or the first terminal device may serve as a master device to provide a network hotspot for the second terminal device. When the scene where the first terminal device is located changes to a home scene, the first terminal device can connect to the WiFi network. In this way, the network connection mode of the first terminal device can be automatically changed to reduce power consumption of the second terminal device.

In yet another possible implementation manner, the target scene is an office scene, and the first terminal device executes S710-S712.

S710. Based on the target scene, the first terminal device determines that the first terminal device is a master device, and that the second terminal device is a slave device.

S711. When there is a WiFi signal in the target scene, the first terminal device connects to the WiFi network in the target scene.

S712. The first terminal device activates a network hotspot.

It should be understood that in an office scenario, office equipment can be connected to the WiFi network, but private equipment cannot be connected. At this time, the office device serves as the master device, and the private device serves as the slave device. Therefore, the first terminal device serves as the master device to connect to the WiFi network. At the same time, the first terminal device turns on the network hotspot, so that the second terminal device connects to the network hotspot.

As an optional embodiment, the above S712 can be implemented in the following manner: the first terminal device receives a wake-up message from the second terminal device, and the wake-up message is used to notify the first terminal device to turn on the network hotspot; message, and turn on the network hotspot.

In this case, the network role of the first terminal device is a master device, and the network role of the second terminal device is a slave device. When the network hotspot of the first terminal device is turned off and the second terminal device needs to connect to the network hotspot of the first terminal device, it is necessary to first send a wake-up message to the first terminal device to notify the first terminal device to turn on the network hotspot. After receiving the wake-up message, the first terminal device turns on the network hotspot. In this way, the network hotspot of the first terminal device does not need to be continuously turned on, thereby reducing power consumption of the first terminal device.

Optionally, when the network role of the first terminal device is the master device, the network role of the second terminal device is the slave device, and the network hotspot of the first terminal device is turned on, the second terminal device has connected to the In the case of a network hotspot, the first terminal device receives a dormancy notification message from the second terminal device, and the dormancy notification message is used to notify the first terminal device that the second terminal device is in a dormant state; based on the dormancy notification message, the first terminal device, Turn off internet hotspot.

It should be understood that when the first terminal device receives the dormancy notification message of the second terminal device, indicating that the second terminal device no longer needs to connect to the network hotspot of the first terminal device, at this time, the first terminal device closes the network hotspot, which facilitates Reduce power consumption of the first terminal device.

In a possible implementation manner, the target scene is other scenes, and the first terminal device executes S902-S904.

S902. Based on the target scene, the first terminal device determines that the first terminal device is a master device, and the second terminal device is a slave device.

The first terminal device is a private device. In other scenarios, the private device can connect to the mobile network, and the network role of the private device is the master device. The second terminal device is an office device, and the office device cannot connect to the mobile network. Therefore, the network role of the office device is a slave device.

S903. If there is a mobile network signal in the target scene, the first terminal device connects to the mobile network in the target scene.

It should be understood that the mobile network signal can be cellular traffic, and the private device can have unlimited cellular traffic. In this way, in other scenarios, the private device can serve as the main device to provide a network hotspot for the office device.

S904. The first terminal device activates a network hotspot.

It should be understood that the first terminal device may have more or unlimited mobile network traffic, the second terminal device cannot connect to the WiFi network in other scenarios, and at the same time, the second terminal device has less mobile network traffic or no mobile network traffic . Therefore, the first terminal device opens a network hotspot for the second terminal device to connect to.

It should be understood that the specific implementation manner of S904 is similar to that of S712 and will not be repeated here.

In another possible implementation manner, the target scene is a home scene, and the first terminal device executes S905-S906.

S905. Based on the target scene, the first terminal device determines that both the first terminal device and the second terminal device are master devices.

S906. In a case where a wireless fidelity WiFi signal exists in the target scene, the first terminal device connects to the WiFi network in the target scene.

It should be understood that the specific implementation manners of S905-S906 are similar to those of S708-S709 in the family scenario of the method 700, and will not be repeated here.

S909. When the second terminal device turns on the network hotspot, the first terminal device connects to the network hotspot.

It should be understood that in an office scenario, the private device is a slave device, and the office device is a master device. Therefore, the network role of the first terminal device is a slave device, and the second terminal device is a master device. The second terminal device connects to the WiFi network in the office scene, and turns on a network hotspot for the first terminal device to connect to.

S910. When the second terminal device does not enable the network hotspot, the first terminal device sends a wake-up message to the second terminal device, where the wake-up message is used to notify the second terminal device to enable the network hotspot.
