Background

With the popularization of mobile communication, more and more users use terminal devices to connect to a network through a Wireless-Fidelity (WiFi) hotspot (also called an Access Point (AP)) or mobile data. In order to save the mobile data traffic cost, users often surf the internet through WiFi hotspots as much as possible.

Because the WiFi hotspots are mostly privatized, and due to safety consideration and the requirement of controlling access, most WiFi hotspots can set passwords, so that a user cannot access the WiFi hotspots without knowing the passwords. In order to facilitate the use of users, various forms of free internet surfing tools are currently proposed.

For example, the free internet surfing tool can utilize idle WiFi resources shared by hotspot owners, help more users surf the internet, enable the users to see which shared WiFi hotspots are around no matter where the users are, and click to connect to surf the internet.

For a user, if he needs to connect to a certain WiFi hotspot, the following operations are required: firstly, a nearby WiFi hotspot list is obtained, the name, signal strength and the like of each WiFi hotspot can be displayed in the WiFi hotspot list, a user can select one WiFi hotspot according to the name, signal strength and the like of each WiFi hotspot, the free internet surfing tool can automatically inquire the password of the WiFi hotspot from a service end through a mobile network, and the password is connected to the WiFi hotspot according to the password returned by the service end.

In practical application, the free internet access tool needs to pass through a series of processes of verifying the validity of the WiFi, inquiring passwords, applying for access, authenticating identities, waiting for the WiFi to distribute IP addresses and the like when being connected with the WiFi hotspot, and is influenced by factors such as the communication quality of a mobile network, the response speed of the WiFi hotspot, the congestion condition and the like, and the whole connection process needs to take several seconds or even dozens of seconds. During the period of connecting the WiFi hotspot, a connection waiting page is usually displayed, the user needs to stay on the connection waiting page to wait, and the user cancels the connection in the process of waiting for the WiFi connection, which may result in the failure of the connection.

In view of the above, it is desirable to provide a solution that can improve the connection success rate of WiFi hotspots.

Detailed Description

Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure may be embodied in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the disclosure to those skilled in the art.

It is to be noted that, unless otherwise specified, technical or scientific terms used herein shall have the ordinary meaning as understood by those skilled in the art to which this application belongs.

Referring to fig. 1, which is a schematic view illustrating an application scenario of a method for displaying multimedia resources according to some embodiments of the present application, and referring to fig. 1, in order to connect a WiFi hotspot (also referred to as a "wireless access point") shared by other users, a user may install a free internet access tool for connecting WiFi in a terminal device such as a mobile phone, where the free internet access tool is an application program providing access service of the wireless access point for the user, and the user may access the wireless access point shared by other users through the free internet access tool without inputting a password.

When the free internet surfing tool is used for surfing the internet, a user firstly needs to select a WiFi hotspot (such as WiFi-A) in a WiFi hotspot list presented by the free internet surfing tool, and clicks a designated function icon to connect the selected WiFi hotspot WiFi-A in a mode without inputting a password, and the free internet surfing tool can generate a connection request aiming at the WiFi hotspot WiFi-A after monitoring the operation of the user. Next, on one hand, the free internet access tool starts to perform a series of connection processes such as verifying the validity of WiFi, inquiring a WiFi password from a server, applying for access, authenticating identity, waiting for a WiFi hotspot to assign an IP address, and the like to connect to WiFi-a in response to the connection request; on the other hand, the free internet surfing tool may display a connection waiting page, and optionally display current connection information in real time in the connection waiting page, such as the name of the WiFi hotspot being connected (in the figure, WiFi-a), a progress bar, progress details (information below the progress bar in the figure), and the like. It should be noted that the connection information displayed by the series of connection procedures and the connection waiting page is only an example and is not meant to be limiting.

Because the number of connection steps is large and the connection steps are influenced by factors such as mobile network communication quality, WiFi hotspot response speed and congestion conditions, the whole connection process takes a few seconds or even dozens of seconds, and during the period, a user may generate negative emotions such as boredom and anxiety due to waiting, so that connection is cancelled, and the connection fails.

According to the method for displaying the multimedia resources, the display content of the connection waiting interface is enriched, and the attention of the user is transferred by using the displayed multimedia resources, so that the negative emotion generated in the connection waiting process of the user is reduced, and the connection success rate is improved; in addition, some embodiments of the application can reduce the problem caused by unequal connection waiting time between the displayed multimedia resource and the WiFi hotspot by acquiring and displaying the multimedia resource matched with the expected connection waiting time of the WiFi hotspot, for example, the multimedia resource cannot obtain sufficient display time or the multimedia resource cannot be played to cover the connection waiting time of the WiFi hotspot, and the display efficiency of the multimedia resource can be improved. Corresponding to the method for presenting multimedia resources, embodiments of the present application further provide an apparatus, a terminal device, and a computer-readable medium for presenting multimedia resources, and a method, an apparatus, a terminal device, and a computer-readable medium for predicting a connection waiting duration, and embodiments of the present application are described below with reference to more drawings.

Referring to fig. 2, which shows a flowchart of a method for presenting a multimedia asset provided in some embodiments of the present application, the method for presenting a multimedia asset, for a client, may include the following steps:

step S101: determining wireless access points in the vicinity of the client.

In some embodiments of the present application, the client may include hardware or software. When the client includes hardware, it may be a variety of electronic devices having a display screen and supporting information interaction, including but not limited to smart phones, tablet computers, laptop portable computers, desktop computers, and the like. When the client includes software, it may be installed in the electronic device listed above, and it may be implemented as multiple software or software modules, or as a single software or software module. And is not particularly limited herein.

In this step S101, the wireless access point near the client can be determined by scanning the wireless network signal, and with the rapid development and popularization of the wireless network technology, a plurality of wireless access points near the client can be determined by scanning in general.

Step S102: and determining a target wireless access point to be connected in the nearby wireless access points and determining the multimedia resources matched with the expected connection waiting duration of the target wireless access point.

In this step, determining a target wireless access point to be connected among the nearby wireless access points, that is, selecting one from the nearby wireless access points as the target wireless access point to be connected, includes at least the following two embodiments:

one implementation may be that, according to a user selection operation on the information of the nearby wireless access points presented in the client, a target wireless access point to be connected is determined. For example, the client displays information of the nearby wireless access points in a display interface thereof, such as displaying a WiFi hotspot list, where the list lists information of names, signal strengths, and the like of a plurality of nearby WiFi hotspots, and then determines, according to a selection operation of the user on the WiFi hotspots listed in the WiFi hotspot list, a WiFi hotspot selected by the user as a target wireless access point to be connected.

Another embodiment may be that the target wireless access point to be connected is received, and the server side responds to the identification information of the nearby wireless access point uploaded by the client side and feeds back the identification information. For example, the client may upload identification information of the nearby wireless access points (e.g., SSID (Service Set Identifier) of WiFi) to the server, and then the server selects one of the nearby wireless access points as a target wireless access point to be accessed and feeds back the selected target wireless access point to the client.

The server side can preferentially select one nearby wireless access point as a target wireless access point according to the signal strength of the nearby wireless access point uploaded by the client side and information, such as the historical connection success rate and the historical connection waiting time of the nearby wireless access point recorded by the server side, whether a password of the wireless access point is stored or not, and the like, for example, a password is selected, so that a better wireless access point access service can be successfully provided for a user (the network quality of the wireless access point with the password is generally better than that of an open hotspot without the password); the selection signal has stronger strength, and can obtain equal and stable signal quality after the connection is successful; the historical connection is selected to be higher in power, so that the connection power can be improved, and the connection efficiency is improved; the selection history connection waiting time is shorter, so that the waiting time in the connection process can be reduced, and the connection efficiency is improved. The embodiment of the present application may select one piece of information as a selection basis to preferentially select the target wireless access point, or may select a plurality of pieces of information from the selection basis to preferentially select the target wireless access point after comprehensive consideration, which all shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

In some embodiments, similar to the server selecting the target wireless access point for the client, the client may also automatically select one target wireless access point for the user from a plurality of wireless access points in its vicinity that the client obtains. The basis of the client selecting the target wireless access point can comprise the signal strength of the nearby wireless access point, and the information, recorded by the client, of the historical connection success rate and the historical connection waiting time of the nearby wireless access point, whether the password of the wireless access point is stored or not, and the like; the information recorded by the client can be from the local connection history of the client and the information provided by the server.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the server may include hardware or may include software. When the server includes hardware, the server may be implemented as a distributed server cluster formed by a plurality of servers, or may be implemented as a single server. When the server includes software, it may be implemented as multiple pieces of software or software modules (e.g., to provide distributed services), or as a single piece of software or software module. And is not particularly limited herein.

In this step, the determining the multimedia resource matched with the expected connection waiting duration of the target wireless access point includes the following various embodiments:

one implementation may be to receive the multimedia resource provided by the server side and matching the expected connection waiting duration of the target wireless access point or the identification information of the matching multimedia resource.

For example, after determining a target wireless access point to be connected from the nearby wireless access points, the server may further determine an expected connection waiting duration of the target wireless access point, further select a multimedia resource matching the expected connection waiting duration, and then feed back the multimedia resource or identification information of the multimedia resource to the client.

For another example, after receiving the identification information of the target wireless access point uploaded by the client, the server determines the expected connection waiting duration of the target wireless access point according to the identification information, further selects a multimedia resource matched with the expected connection waiting duration, and then feeds back the multimedia resource or the identification information of the multimedia resource to the client.

Another embodiment may be that, after obtaining the expected connection waiting duration of the target wireless access point, the client selects a multimedia resource whose presentation duration matches the expected connection waiting duration.

The predicted connection waiting time of the target wireless access point can be determined by the client according to a locally stored historical connection record, or can be provided by the server in response to the identification information of the target wireless access point uploaded by the client, which are all reasonable modification embodiments of the present application.

For example, in some embodiments, the obtaining the expected connection waiting duration of the target wireless access point may include: locally querying a historical connection record of the target wireless access point; and if the historical connection record of the target wireless access point is inquired, determining the expected connection waiting time of the target wireless access point according to the historical connection waiting time recorded in the inquired historical connection record.

In some specific embodiments, the determining an expected connection waiting time of the target wireless access point according to the queried historical connection waiting time recorded in the historical connection record may include: if the number of the historical connection waiting time lengths recorded in the historical connection record is one, determining the historical connection waiting time length as the predicted connection waiting time length of the target wireless access point; and if the number of the historical connection waiting time lengths recorded in the historical connection records is multiple, calculating the expected connection waiting time length of the target wireless access point according to the multiple historical connection waiting time lengths.

For example, if the number of the historical connection waiting time periods described in the historical connection record is multiple, an average value of the multiple historical connection waiting time periods may be determined as the predicted connection waiting time period of the target wireless access point, or a time period interval formed by a minimum value and a maximum value of the multiple historical connection waiting time periods may be determined as the predicted connection waiting time period of the target wireless access point, which are all reasonable modification embodiments of the present application.

In other embodiments, the expected connection waiting duration of the target wireless access point may also be provided by the server in response to the identification information of the target wireless access point uploaded by the client, for example, after the server determines a target wireless access point to be connected from the nearby wireless access points, the expected connection waiting duration of the target wireless access point may be further determined, and the expected connection waiting duration of the target wireless access point may be fed back to the client. For another example, after receiving the identification information of the target wireless access point uploaded by the client, the server determines the expected connection waiting duration of the target wireless access point according to the identification information, and feeds back the expected connection waiting duration of the target wireless access point to the client.

The server determines the expected connection waiting duration of the target wireless access point, which may be determining the expected connection waiting duration of the target wireless access point according to a historical connection record of the target wireless access point, for example, the server may count the historical connection waiting duration of the target wireless access point according to the historical connection record, and use an average value of the historical connection waiting durations as the expected connection waiting duration of the target wireless access point, or use a duration interval formed by a minimum value and a maximum value of the historical connection waiting duration as the expected connection waiting duration of the target wireless access point.

Considering that the connection waiting time of the terminal and the wireless access point is also related to the model of the terminal, the version of the operating system used, and other factors, for example, the connection waiting time of different models of terminals connecting to the same wireless access point may be different. Thus, in some embodiments, the determining the expected connection latency of the target wireless access point may include: acquiring adaptation information of a terminal where the client is located, wherein the adaptation information comprises: model information and/or system version information; querying a historical connection record matched with the adaptation information in the historical connection record of the target wireless access point; then, the expected connection waiting time length is determined according to the searched historical connection record matched with the adaptation information, for example, the model of the terminal where the client is located is model a, in the above embodiment, only the historical connection records of the model a and the target wireless access point need to be queried, and the average value of the historical connection waiting time lengths recorded in the historical connection records is determined as the expected connection waiting time length of the target wireless access point. By the embodiment, the accuracy of the predicted connection waiting time can be improved.

Considering that there may be differences between the terminals of the same model and/or operating system version, in some embodiments, before determining the expected connection waiting time of the target wireless access point according to the historical connection record of the target wireless access point, the method may further include: acquiring a unique identification code (for example, an International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI)) of a terminal where the client is located; querying a historical connection record matched with the unique identification code in the historical connection record of the target wireless access point; if the historical connection record matched with the unique identification code is inquired, determining the expected connection waiting time of the target wireless access point according to the searched historical connection waiting time in the historical connection record; and if the historical connection record matched with the unique identification code is not inquired, executing the step of determining the expected connection waiting time of the target wireless access point according to the historical connection record of the target wireless access point.

Wherein, the determining the expected connection waiting time of the target wireless access point according to the searched historical connection waiting time in the historical connection record may include: determining the average value of the searched historical connection waiting time in the historical connection record as the predicted connection waiting time of the target wireless access point; or determining a time length interval formed by the minimum value and the maximum value of the historical connection waiting time lengths in the searched historical connection records as the expected connection waiting time length of the target wireless access point.

Through the implementation mode, the historical connection record of the target wireless access point connected with the terminal where the client is located can be inquired in the historical connection record of the target wireless access point, and the expected connection waiting time of the target wireless access point is determined according to the searched historical connection record, so that the accuracy of the obtained expected connection waiting time is higher, and the consistency of the display time of the multimedia resource and the current actual connection waiting time is ensured to the maximum extent.

In the foregoing description of the embodiment, given as an exemplary description that after the target wireless access point is determined, the server provides the expected connection waiting time of the target wireless access point in response to the identification information of the target wireless access point uploaded by the client, in another embodiment provided in this application, before determining a target wireless access point to be connected among the nearby wireless access points, the method may further include: receiving the expected connection waiting time of at least one wireless access point in the nearby wireless access points fed back by the server end in response to the identification information of the nearby wireless access points uploaded by the client end; preferably, the method can further comprise the following steps: displaying an expected connection latency of the at least one wireless access point in the information of the nearby wireless access points presented in the client.

Through the above embodiment, the expected connection waiting time of at least one wireless access point (refer to the WiFi hotspot list shown in fig. 4) may be displayed in the information (which may be presented in the form of a WiFi hotspot list) of the nearby wireless access points presented in the client, so that the user may select a target wireless access point to be connected according to the presented expected connection waiting time, for example, the user may select a wireless access point with the shortest expected connection waiting time as the target wireless access point in the WiFi hotspot list, thereby effectively improving connection efficiency. Alternatively, the obtained expected connection latency may be used by the server or the client to select a wireless access point with a shorter expected connection latency as the target wireless access point. As can be seen from the above embodiments, the step of determining the expected connection latency of the target wireless access point may be performed before the target wireless access point is determined or after the target wireless access point is determined.

It should be noted that the multimedia resource whose presentation duration matches the expected connection waiting duration may be selected from a plurality of locally stored multimedia resources. The locally stored multimedia resources can be obtained in advance through mobile communication networks such as 3G, 4G, 5G and the like, and can also be obtained through wireless access points such as WiFi hotspots and the like. In consideration of the fact that the multimedia resource needs to consume a certain flow, the embodiment of the application preferably adopts the wireless access point to acquire the multimedia resource; because the multimedia resource is displayed in the waiting period of connecting the current wireless access point, and the current wireless access point is not accessed yet, the multimedia resource required to be displayed at this time needs to be obtained in advance when the current wireless access point is accessed to other wireless access points, and the multimedia resource required to be displayed in the subsequent connection can be continuously obtained after the connection is successful at this time.

Specifically, in some embodiments provided in this application, before the determining the multimedia resource matching the expected connection waiting duration of the target wireless access point, the method further includes: and acquiring a plurality of multimedia resources from the server when the wireless access point is accessed previously. For example, the wireless access point to be connected is currently the wireless access point a, in this example, the plurality of multimedia resources may be acquired from the server by using the network provided by the wireless access point B when the wireless access point B was last accessed, and it is easily understood that the plurality of multimedia resources may also be acquired from the server by using the network provided by the wireless access point a when the wireless access point a was last accessed, which are all reasonably modified embodiments of the present embodiment.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the multimedia resource may be at least one of a video, a picture, an article, a question and answer test and a game, for example, the multimedia resource may be a video resource such as a movie trailer, a laugh video, a sports event collection video, a video advertisement, etc., a dynamic picture (a dynamic picture may refer to a group of pictures that are switched at a specified frequency to generate a certain dynamic effect, such as a picture in gif format), a comic, a beautiful scene picture, a star portrait, a graphic advertisement, etc., an article resource such as a story book, an article selection, a micro-story, a short joke, a news flash, etc., or an interactive multimedia resource such as a question and answer test, a mini game, etc., which may all be applied to the present application to enrich the display content during the connection waiting period of the wireless access point, and attract the attention of the user by using the multimedia resource, therefore, negative emotions generated by the user in the process of waiting for connection are reduced, and the probability of canceling the connection of the user in the process of waiting for connection is further reduced.

The multimedia resource can have corresponding display duration so as to be matched with the predicted connection waiting duration according to the display duration, so that the multimedia resource matched with the predicted connection waiting duration is obtained, for example, for a video resource, the playing duration of the video resource is the display duration, and for resources such as pictures, articles, question and answer tests, games and the like, one display duration can be estimated according to the display content of the video resource, so that a user can read the multimedia resource in the display duration or complete the man-machine interaction of the multimedia resource.

Correspondingly, in the embodiment of the present application, the determining of the multimedia resource that matches the predicted connection waiting duration of the target wireless access point may be determining, according to a presentation duration corresponding to the multimedia resource, the multimedia resource whose presentation duration matches the predicted connection waiting duration of the target wireless access point. The matching may be consistency matching, or inclusive matching, or matching when the difference meets a preset threshold condition.

For example, assuming that the expected connection waiting time duration is 10 seconds, through consistency matching, a multimedia resource with a presentation time duration of 10 seconds can be selected as a multimedia resource matched with the expected connection waiting time duration; through the inclusion matching, the multimedia resource with the display duration of 8 to 12 seconds (8 to 12 seconds are duration intervals, the display duration can be a fixed duration or a duration interval) can be selected as the multimedia resource matched with the predicted connection waiting duration; assuming that the preset threshold condition is that the time difference is less than or equal to 1 second, any multimedia resource with the presentation time length between 9 and 11 seconds can be selected as the multimedia resource matched with the predicted connection waiting time length through the matching of the preset threshold condition.

For another example, assuming that the expected connection waiting duration is a duration interval of 13 to 15 seconds, through consistency matching, a multimedia resource with a presentation duration of 13 to 15 seconds may be selected as the multimedia resource matched with the expected connection waiting duration; through inclusive matching, a multimedia resource with a presentation duration between 13 and 15 seconds can be selected as a multimedia resource matched with the expected connection waiting duration; assuming that the preset threshold condition is that the time difference is less than 2 seconds, any multimedia resource with the presentation time length between 11 and 17 seconds can be selected as the multimedia resource matched with the predicted connection waiting time length through the matching of the preset threshold condition.

The above are exemplary matching manners given by the embodiments of the present application, and those skilled in the art may flexibly change and implement the matching manners according to actual requirements, and the present application does not specifically limit the matching manners.

Step S103: and displaying the multimedia resource after entering a waiting period for connecting the target wireless access point.

After determining a target wireless access point to be connected among the nearby wireless access points, the target wireless access point may be connected to the wireless access point, and the waiting period for connecting to the target wireless access point in some embodiments of the present application may include a period from when the target wireless access point is connected to the wireless access point until the connection is completed (including connection success or connection failure), where the connection starts, i.e., the waiting period for connecting to the target wireless access point is entered.
