Background

With the development of mobile communication technology and the popularization of mobile terminals, mobile terminals such as mobile phones have become indispensable communication and entertainment tools in daily life. Nowadays, people are used to travel with mobile terminals, and as the geographical location of the mobile terminal changes, the mobile terminal may need to be switched to a network available at the current geographical location, for example, when the mobile terminal roams from guangzhou to hong kong, the mobile terminal needs to be switched to a network in hong kong.

In order to view network coverage conditions or manually select a network during roaming so as to avoid high charges, a mobile terminal user usually enters an operator network list selection page, and in a manual network selection mode, a modem of the mobile terminal searches available networks in a full frequency band and displays the searched operator network list, the user can select a designated network from the operator network list according to the self requirement, and the mobile terminal is switched to the designated network selected by the user.

However, as wireless communication technology evolves, more and more access technologies are proposed, which makes it more and more difficult for the mobile terminal to list the surrounding operator networks, and the user needs to wait tens of seconds or even minutes before the modem of the mobile terminal can collect and report the operator network list.

Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some, not all, embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a flowchart of a network recommendation method provided in an embodiment of the present invention, applied to a mobile terminal, and as shown in fig. 1, the method includes the following steps:

step 101, obtaining a country code MCC of a target mobile signal.

MCC refers to a mobile country code, and the MCC resources are uniformly allocated and managed by the international union, and are used to identify that the MCC of mobile subscribers in different countries (regions) belong to different countries, for example, the MCC of a chinese mobile subscriber is 460, the MCC of an indian mobile subscriber is 404, and so on.

In this embodiment, when the mobile terminal needs to switch networks, the target MCC may be obtained, so as to recommend at least one public land mobile network PLMN to the user for selection according to the target MCC, specifically, the target MCC may be obtained when it is detected that the user has a need to switch networks, for example, the target MCC may be obtained when the user clicks from a system setting page to enter a network selection page, or the MCC may be actively obtained when it is detected that a current access network is not good or available.

As shown in fig. 2, when the mobile terminal enters the network selection page 20 and adjusts the automatic switching network mode to the manual switching network mode by touching the network mode switching button 21, the target MCC is obtained.

The target MCC may be an MCC of a geographic location where the mobile terminal is currently located, or an MCC of a country to which a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card inserted into the mobile terminal belongs, or an MCC of a network where the mobile terminal currently resides or an MCC of a network where the mobile terminal historically resides, where the number of the target MCCs may also be one or more, for example, the number may include a plurality of combinations of the MCCs.

I.e. the target MCC may comprise at least one of:

the MCC of the PLMN where the mobile terminal currently resides;

an MCC of a Home Public Land Mobile Network (HPLMN) and/or an MCC of an Equivalent Home Public Land Mobile Network (EHPLMN) of the SIM card of the Mobile terminal;

the MCC of the PLMN is resided in history of the mobile terminal;

and the MCC of the PLMN currently detected by the mobile terminal.

The PLMN is a public land Mobile Network, and is composed of two parts, i.e., a Mobile signal country Code MCC and a Mobile Network number (MNC), where the MNC is used to identify a Mobile communication Network to which a Mobile subscriber belongs, and generally consists of 2-3 digits, and if the MNC used by the china Mobile system is 00, 02, 04, and 07, the MCC generally consists of 3 digits, so the PLMN generally includes 5-6 digits, the first three digits are MCC codes, and the last two to three digits are MNC codes. Thus, the corresponding MCC is obtained from the PLMN.

The PLMN where the mobile terminal currently resides may be understood as a network to which the mobile terminal currently accesses; the above-mentioned historically camped PLMN of the mobile terminal may be understood as a network that the mobile terminal records and has accessed once, such as a PLMN camped on the current day, a PLMN camped on 1 hour ago, and the like, and the historically camped PLMN may preferably be a PLMN that the mobile terminal camped on last time, for example, when the mobile terminal roams from guangzhou to hong kong, the camped PLMN is changed from an inland network to a hong kong network, and the inland network is the historically camped PLMN of the mobile terminal.

The HPLMN and/or EHPLMN of the SIM card of the mobile terminal may be understood as a home network of the SIM card inserted in the mobile terminal, for example, if the SIM card of the mobile terminal is a china mobile 4G card, the HPLMN of the home network is a mobile 4G network, and the peer home network EHPLMN thereof includes a mobile 3G network and a mobile 2G network, etc.

The PLMN currently detected by the mobile terminal may be a network that is newly detected by the mobile terminal, for example, a mobile terminal user flies from home to a japanese airport, and the flight mode of the mobile terminal is closed when the mobile terminal leaves the airport, at this time, the mobile terminal will detect that the new network is a japanese network, and the PLMN currently detected by the mobile terminal is the japanese network.

Thus, the mobile terminal can obtain the target MCC through the MCCs of the different PLMNs, and then can quickly recommend at least one PLMN to the user according to the target MCC.

Specifically, the target MCC may be related to a network handover scenario in which the mobile terminal is located, that is, the mobile terminal may obtain the target MCC that is more adapted to the current network handover scenario according to the current network handover scenario, so as to ensure that a PLMN recommended according to the target MCC more meets a user's expectation.

Therefore, the step 101 may include:

determining an MCC source according to a network switching scene where the mobile terminal is located;

and acquiring the target MCC according to the MCC source.

The network handover scenario may be understood as a scenario in which the mobile terminal is ready to perform network handover, where the network handover scenario may be associated with a current geographic location of the mobile terminal, a network environment, a home location of the SIM card, and the like, where the current geographic location of the mobile terminal may refer to a country or a region of the country, and the network environment may be 3G network coverage, 4G network coverage, and the like.

In this embodiment, an MCC source may be determined according to a network handover scenario in which the mobile terminal is located, so as to determine which PLMN the target MCC is obtained from specifically, and thus the target MCC may be obtained according to the MCC source.

For example 1, when the mobile terminal is located in a region with complex network deployment, such as india, since india covers different PLMNs in different regions (different countries), when the mobile terminal roams from one region of india to another region, the mobile terminal may obtain the target MCC from the home network of the SIM card, so that the mobile terminal recommends a PLMN with the same country code to the user without waiting for the mobile terminal to scan to find the corresponding PLMN cell.

For example 2, when the mobile terminal is located in a region without a 4G network coverage, such as when entering an elevator, a network in which the mobile terminal resides is changed from a 4G network to a 3G network, and when the mobile terminal fails to immediately switch back to the 4G network or does not support automatic network switching, the mobile terminal may obtain a target MCC according to a current resident network or a historical resident network, so that the mobile terminal recommends the 4G network to the user, and the user may quickly select the 4G network to switch back to the 4G network.

For example 3, when the mobile terminal is located in an international airport, such as a national roaming airport, the mobile terminal turns off the flight mode or turns on the mobile terminal, and the mobile terminal detects a new network, i.e., a japanese network, so that the target MCC can be acquired from the japanese network and the user can be quickly recommended the PLMN in japan.

In this way, in this embodiment, the MCC source is determined according to the network switching scenario in which the mobile terminal is located, and the target MCC is obtained according to the MCC source, thereby ensuring that the PLMN recommended according to the target MCC better meets the user's expectation and the recommendation efficiency is higher.

Step 102, obtaining at least one public land mobile network PLMN according to the target MCC.

In this step, after obtaining the target MCC, at least one public land mobile network PLMN may be obtained according to the target MCC, and specifically, a country or a region to which a mobile signal belongs may be determined according to the target MCC, and then a PLMN known to the country or the region is obtained, so as to obtain at least one PLMN, or at least one PLMN whose MCC is the target MCC is obtained in real time according to the target MCC, PLMN information advertised by an online search authority, a PLMN provided by an operator, or a PLMN collected by big data, and the like, or a PLMN available in a geographic location may be detected according to the geographic location where the mobile terminal is located indicated by the target MCC, so as to obtain at least one PLMN.

The acquiring at least one PLMN may be acquiring a PLMN identity ID and/or a PLMN wireless access type, where the PLMN wireless access type refers to networks such as 2G, 3G, and 4G.

Thus, compared with the PLMN of the surrounding cells scanned and decoded in full band by the mobile terminal, the present embodiment obtains the network recommendation mode of at least one PLMN more quickly and saves system resources through the target MCC, thereby having higher network recommendation efficiency.

Optionally, the step 102 includes:

determining a region to which the target MCC belongs;

and acquiring the PLMN of the region to obtain at least one PLMN.

In this embodiment, since the MCC may be used to identify a location to which a mobile signal belongs, a region to which the target MCC belongs may be determined according to the target MCC, and then at least one PLMN may be obtained by obtaining a PLMN of the region, where the PLMN obtained from the region may be directly obtained according to a locally recorded existing PLMN of the region, or may be obtained by searching a PLMN of the region through big data networking.

Thus, in this embodiment, by acquiring the PLMNs of the region to which the target MCC belongs, at least one PLMN can be quickly obtained, and thus, a network switching can be quickly recommended to a user.

It should be noted that, when obtaining the at least one PLMN according to the target MCC, only the PLMN provided by the operator to which the SIM card of the mobile terminal belongs may be obtained, so as to ensure that the mobile terminal can be successfully switched to the target PLMN after the user selects the target PLMN from the indicated one PLMN. For example, when the SIM card of the mobile terminal belongs to china mobile, only the MCC code provided by the china mobile operator is acquired as the PLMN of the target MCC.

It should be further noted that, when the number of the target MCCs is multiple or different PLMN IDs may be available for the same operator, resulting in obtaining multiple identical PLMNs according to the target MCC, the obtained PLMNs may be integrated, i.e. the same redundant PLMNs are removed, and only one PLMN is reserved, so that it is finally ensured that there is no duplicate PLMN in the at least one PLMN.

And 103, generating a recommendation sequence of the at least one PLMN.

In this embodiment, when the number of the at least one PLMN is large, the at least one PLMN recommendation order may be determined first, so as to display the at least one PLMN according to the recommendation order, thereby helping a user to quickly select a network to be switched. Specifically, the recommendation order of the at least one PLMN may be generated according to a certain rule, for example, a network with a stronger signal or better communication quality may be preferentially recommended, or a network with a lower tariff may be preferentially recommended, then a PLMN with a priority in the recommendation order of the at least one PLMN is displayed at the top of the recommended network list, and a PLMN with a priority in the recommendation order of the at least one PLMN is displayed at the bottom of the recommended network list, so that a user may notice a network with a higher ranking in the at least one PLMN earlier and then quickly select a target handover network from the networks.

And 104, displaying the at least one PLMN according to the recommendation sequence.

After the recommendation sequence of the at least one PLMN is generated, the at least one PLMN may be displayed according to the recommendation sequence to recommend the at least one PLMN to the user for selection by the user, for example, as shown in fig. 2, the at least one PLMN may be displayed in a recommended network list 22 in a network selection page 20, and the user may quickly click on a network from the recommended network list 22, which the mobile terminal is expected to switch over.

It should be noted that when the mobile terminal needs to perform network handover, it may also start full band scanning on the surrounding networks at the same time, and display the detected PLMNs, for example, display the detected PLMN every time one PLMN is detected, specifically, display the detected PLMN in another network list, for example, as shown in fig. 2, display the detected PLMN in real time in the operator network list 23 in the network selection page 20. In this way, the user can arbitrarily select the network to be switched from the two network lists, so that different requirements of the user can be met.

In this embodiment of the present invention, the mobile terminal may be any device having a storage medium, for example: terminal devices such as computers (Computer), Mobile phones, Tablet Personal computers (Tablet Personal Computer), Laptop computers (Laptop Computer), Personal Digital Assistants (PDA), Mobile Internet Devices (MID), and Wearable devices (Wearable Device).

The network recommendation method in this embodiment obtains a country code MCC of a target mobile signal; acquiring at least one Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) according to the target MCC; generating a recommended order for the at least one PLMN; and displaying the at least one PLMN according to the recommendation sequence. Therefore, when network switching is needed, at least one PLMN can be quickly acquired by acquiring the target MCC, the recommendation sequence of the at least one PLMN is generated, and the at least one PLMN is recommended to the user in sequence, so that the user can quickly select a network to be switched from the network, and the time for the user to wait for the mobile terminal to collect the nearby PLMNs is reduced.

Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a flowchart of another network recommendation method provided in the embodiment of the present invention, and is applied to a mobile terminal, where in this embodiment, on the basis of the embodiment shown in fig. 1, a step of obtaining at least one PLMN according to the target MCC is defined, so that it can be ensured that the mobile terminal can quickly obtain a network of the at least one PLMN, and thus network recommendation efficiency is improved. As shown in fig. 3, the method comprises the steps of:

step 301, obtaining a country code MCC of a target mobile signal.

The specific implementation of this step may refer to the implementation of step 102 in the method embodiment shown in fig. 1, and is not described here again to avoid repetition.

Step 302, at least one public land mobile network PLMN corresponding to the target MCC is searched according to a pre-stored correspondence table of MCC and PLMN.

In order to ensure that the mobile terminal can quickly obtain the at least one PLMN according to the target MCC, a PLMN corresponding to each MCC may be pre-stored, that is, a correspondence table between the MCCs and the PLMNs is established, for example, the MCCs of each country or region are counted in advance, the PLMNs of each country or region are collected, and then the correspondence table between the MCCs and the PLMNs is established and pre-stored in the database. Wherein the means for collecting PLMNs of each country or region comprises: PLMN announced by the official, PLMN provided by the operator or PLMN collected by big data, PLMN reported by drive test personnel and the like.

Therefore, after the target MCC is obtained, the PLMN corresponding to the target MCC can be quickly found out from the target MCC only according to the pre-stored corresponding relation table of the MCC and the PLMN to obtain at least one PLMN without waiting for the mobile terminal to perform networking search to obtain the at least one PLMN.

And 303, generating a recommendation sequence of the at least one PLMN.

The specific implementation of this step may refer to the implementation of step 103 in the method embodiment shown in fig. 1, and is not described here again to avoid repetition.

And 304, displaying the at least one PLMN according to the recommendation sequence.

The specific implementation of this step may refer to the implementation of step 104 in the method embodiment shown in fig. 1, and is not described here again to avoid repetition.

Optionally, step 304 includes:

determining a recommendation sequence of the at least one PLMN according to a preset recommendation rule;

wherein the preset recommendation rule comprises any one of the following items:

the HPLMN and/or the EHPLMN of the SIM card of the mobile terminal has the highest recommended priority;

recommending according to the detection sequence of the PLMN;

signal strength recommendations according to PLMN;

the PLMN of the geographic position of the mobile terminal has the highest recommended priority;

recommending according to the PLMN history clicked by the user;

and recommending according to the PLMN history record registered by the mobile terminal.

In this embodiment, the at least one PLMN may be displayed in a certain recommended order to assist the user in quickly selecting a network for handover. Specifically, a recommendation rule may be preset, and after the at least one PLMN is obtained, a recommendation order of the at least one PLMN may be determined according to the recommendation rule, and the at least one PLMN is displayed according to the recommendation order.

The HPLMN and/or EHPLMN of the SIM card of the mobile terminal has the highest recommendation priority, and may be a priority recommendation of a home network (HPLMN and/or EHPLMN) belonging to the SIM card in the at least one PLMN.

The recommending according to the detection order of PLMNs may be recommending the at least one PLMN in order according to the detected order of PLMNs when the mobile terminal detects the PLMNs in the geographic location indicated by the target MCC, such as a PLMN priority recommendation detected first.

The recommending according to the signal strength of the PLMN may be detecting the signal strength of each PLMN in the at least one PLMN, and recommending according to the signal strength of each PLMN, for example, preferentially recommending a PLMN with high signal strength.

The PLMN of the geographic location of the mobile terminal has the highest recommendation priority, which may be to preferentially recommend a PLMN in the at least one PLMN, which is matched with the current geographic location of the mobile terminal, for example, when the mobile terminal is located at a juncture between two places, namely, guangdong and hong kong, the at least one PLMN simultaneously includes a PLMN in the guangdong area and a PLMN in the hong kong area, at this time, latitude and longitude information of the mobile terminal may be obtained according to a Global Positioning System (GPS), the geographic location of the mobile terminal is accurately located, and if it is determined that the geographic location of the mobile terminal belongs to hong kong, the PLMN in the hong kong area is preferentially recommended.

The recommending according to the PLMN history clicked by the user may be preferentially recommending the PLMN clicked by the user or having a higher number of clicks in the at least one PLMN according to the PLMN history clicked by the user and stored in the mobile terminal.

The recommending according to the PLMN history record registered by the mobile terminal may be preferentially recommending a PLMN registered in the at least one PLMN or having a higher registration frequency according to the PLMN history record registered by the mobile terminal.

It should be noted that the PLMN clicked by the user is different from the PLMN registered by the mobile terminal, and the PLMN clicked by the user is not necessarily the PLMN registered by the mobile terminal, nor is the PLMN registered by the mobile terminal clicked by the user, but the PLMN registered by the mobile terminal may be automatically registered by the mobile terminal.

In addition, the preset recommendation rule may further include recommending according to an acquisition order of PLMNs, for example, preferentially recommending a PLMN acquired first in the at least one PLMN.

It should be further noted that the different preset recommendation rules may also be used in combination, and the priority of each preset recommendation rule may be set, for example, the HPLMN and/or EHPLMN of the SIM card of the mobile terminal is set to have the highest recommendation priority and recommended to be combined according to the signal strength of the PLMN, and the priority of the recommendation rule that the HPLMN and/or EHPLMN of the SIM card of the mobile terminal has the highest recommendation priority is set to be higher than the recommendation rule according to the signal strength of the PLMN, so that the HPLMN and/or EHPLMN of the SIM card of the mobile terminal may be recommended preferentially, and a PLMN with higher signal strength is recommended again.

In this way, in this embodiment, the recommendation order of the at least one PLMN is determined according to the preset recommendation rule, and the at least one PLMN is displayed according to the recommendation order, so that the user can be helped to quickly select a network with a higher recommendation degree, and the network recommendation efficiency is further improved.

Of course, this embodiment can be applied to the embodiment shown in fig. 1 as well, and the same advantageous effects can be achieved.

In this embodiment, the MCC source is determined according to the network switching scenario in which the mobile terminal is located, so as to obtain the target MCC according to the MCC source, so that the mobile terminal can obtain different target MCCs in different network switching scenarios, and further obtain a network matched with the network switching scenario in which the mobile terminal is located for a user to quickly select, thereby improving the efficiency of recommending a network by the mobile terminal.

In addition, in this embodiment, a plurality of optional implementation manners are added on the basis of the embodiment shown in fig. 1, and these optional implementation manners may be implemented in combination with each other or individually, and both the technical effects of quickly recommending at least one PLMN to a user and reducing the time for the user to wait for the mobile terminal to collect the nearby PLMNs can be achieved.
