Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Wherein, in the description of the embodiments of the present application, unless otherwise indicated, "/" means or, for example, a/B may represent a or B; "and/or" herein is merely an association relationship describing an association object, and means that three relationships may exist, for example, a and/or B may mean: a exists alone, A and B exist together, and B exists alone. In addition, in the description of the embodiments of the present application, "plurality" means two or more than two.

The terms "first," "second," "third," and the like, are used below for descriptive purposes only and are not to be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defining "a first", "a second", or a third "may explicitly or implicitly include one or more such feature.

First, we introduce a linktree technique, which in one embodiment, as shown in fig. 1, can use a multiplexing control protocol (multipath transmission control protocol, MP-TCP) and a multiplexing user datagram protocol (multipath user datagram protocol, MP-UDP) simultaneously, and by combining the MP-TCP protocol and the MP-UDP protocol, can use the cellular network and Wi-Fi simultaneously, thereby providing a mobile internet experience with high network speed and stable low latency for users. The MP-protocol is adopted without establishing a link, has high transmission speed and small time delay, and is suitable for real-time APP (such as video APP or game APP) with high response speed requirements, while the MP-TCP protocol is adopted with slightly lower transmission speed, and is suitable for non-real-time APP (such as social APP or shopping APP) with low response speed requirements.

In another embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, the linkbroo technology may employ MP-Flow protocol to implement simultaneous use of cellular network and Wi-Fi, and allocate different networks for traffic demands of different APPs. For example, a Wi-Fi network is assigned to a video APP or game APP, and a cellular network is assigned to a social APP or shopping APP.

In a scenario where the user is in a stationary state (or relatively stationary state) for a long time, such as sitting at home with the electronic device, it is assumed that the electronic device has turned on the linkbit function and the user is currently watching online video using the video APP, and it is the Wi-Fi network (denoted as the first network link) in the home that provides network services for the video APP. If the electronic device is far away from the Wi-Fi access point (such as a router), the Wi-Fi network signal possibly received is weak, that is, the network quality of the first network link does not reach the preset network quality, so that the normal operation of the video APP is affected, for example, the phenomenon of video playing such as jamming and the like is generated. In view of this problem, as shown in fig. 3, when the electronic device in the conventional technology detects that the network quality of the first network link does not reach the preset network quality, the electronic device initiates activation or detection of other network links one by one according to the network priority, and switches the traffic data of the video APP to be processed on the available second network link if the available second network link exists. As can be seen from fig. 3, the electronic device activates or detects other network links according to the network priority, where if a link with network quality not reaching the preset network quality exists in the other network links, the electronic device still needs to detect the link, which results in the problems of low hit rate and long detection time of the available second network link, and thus easily results in poor user experience.

In view of this, an embodiment of the present application provides a network link switching method based on a state of an electronic device, as shown in fig. 4, when the electronic device detects that the network quality of a first network link does not reach a preset network quality, and detects that the network quality of other network links does not reach the preset network quality, the electronic device may mark the network link whose network quality does not reach the preset network quality; then, when the network link is detected later, the electronic device does not need to detect the marked network link any more, and only needs to detect the unmarked network link. Therefore, in the scene that the user is in a static state (or a relative static state) for a long time, the electronic equipment screens out network links with network quality which does not reach the preset network quality in advance, so that the hit rate of the available network links is improved, the detection time length is reduced, and the use experience of the user is correspondingly improved.

It should be noted that, the network link switching method based on the state of the electronic device provided by the embodiment of the application may be applied to electronic devices having a linkbit function, such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a wearable device, a vehicle-mounted device, an augmented reality (augmented reality, AR)/Virtual Reality (VR) device, a notebook computer, an ultra-mobile personal computer (UMPC), a netbook, a personal digital assistant (personal digital assistant, PDA) and the like, and the embodiment of the application does not limit the specific type of the electronic device.

For easy understanding, the following embodiments of the present application will take an electronic device having a structure shown in fig. 5 and fig. 7 as an example, and specifically describe a network link switching method based on a state of the electronic device according to the embodiments of the present application with reference to the drawings and application scenarios.

In one embodiment, to facilitate the user to turn on the linkbit function, the electronic device may provide the user with an interface for turning on the linkbit function, which may be shown in fig. 8. On the interface shown in fig. 8 (a), after the user clicks the "WLAN" option 81, the user can jump to the interface shown in fig. 8 (b), and then the user clicks the "network acceleration" option 82 again, so that the user can jump to the interface shown in fig. 8 (c). On this interface, the user can turn on the LinkTurbo function by clicking the "network acceleration" switch 83, at which time the electronic device can use Wi-Fi and cellular networks simultaneously.

For example, currently electronic devices are in a Wi-Fi1 network environment, and when a user opens a video APP to view video, the electronic device may provide network services using Wi-Fi 1. When a user opens a shopping APP to browse merchandise, the electronic device may provide network services using a cellular network. When a user downloads a large volume of resources, the electronic device may provide network services using both Wi-Fi1 and the cellular network.

In another embodiment, the electronic device is currently in a dual Wi-Fi network environment of Wi-Fi1 and Wi-Fi2, for example, wi-Fi1 is a 2.4GHz band network and Wi-Fi2 is a 5GHz band network, and if the electronic device supports dual Wi-Fi connection, after the user turns on the linkbit function, the electronic device may use Wi-Fi1, wi-Fi2 and cellular network simultaneously.

In yet another embodiment, if the electronic device further supports the main and sub card service, that is, two SIM cards are installed in the electronic device, one SIM card corresponds to cell 1 and the other SIM card corresponds to cell 2; after the linkbroo function is started, the user turns on the "intelligent switch network card" switch 91 through the interface shown in fig. 9, so that the electronic device can use Wi-Fi1, wi-Fi2, cellular 1 and cellular 2 networks at the same time.

In view of the above scenario, in one embodiment, if one APP in the electronic device is running in the foreground, or one APP is downloading resources in the background, the electronic device may be considered to be executing a network service, and the electronic device may execute a network link switching method based on the state of the electronic device in the following embodiment. In another embodiment, if the electronic device does not run the APP or the electronic device is in the screen locking state, the electronic device may be considered to not execute the network service, and the electronic device does not need to execute the network link switching method based on the electronic device state in the following embodiment.

Assuming that the electronic device is performing network traffic using Wi-Fi2 (denoted as a first network link), the electronic device may detect whether it is in a stationary state (or a relatively stationary state) and detect the network quality of the first network link, and perform a handover of the network link if a network link handover condition is satisfied. As shown in fig. 10, an exemplary network link switching method based on a state of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present application includes:

Firstly, if the network quality of the first network link is detected to not reach the preset network quality under the condition that the electronic equipment is in a static state (or a relative static state), detecting the network quality of other network links.

Among the network links used by the electronic device, other network links except the first network link are not marked, and the network quality of the other network links does not reach the preset network quality. For example, after the electronic device turns on the linkbit function, four networks of Wi-Fi1, wi-Fi2, cell 1 and cell 2 may be connected at the same time, where the first network link is Wi-Fi2, and the network quality marked before Wi-Fi1 does not reach the preset network quality, and the other network links are cell 1 and cell 2. Alternatively, in the case where the electronic device is in a stationary state, the electronic device may be in a stationary state for a certain period of time (e.g., 10 minutes, 20 minutes, etc.).

For determining whether the electronic device is in a stationary state (or a relatively stationary state), in one embodiment, the electronic device may use the Sensor Hub to determine the state of the electronic device according to the data of the gyro Sensor, the acceleration Sensor, or the distance Sensor, so as to determine whether the electronic device is in a stationary state. For example, when the gyro sensor detects that the amount of change in angular velocity of the electronic apparatus in each direction approaches zero, it may be determined that the electronic apparatus is in a stationary state; or when the acceleration sensor detects that the acceleration variation of the electronic equipment in all directions approaches zero, the electronic equipment can be determined to be in a static state; or the distance between the electronic equipment and a certain object is measured by the distance sensor, and the electronic equipment is determined to be in a static state. In another embodiment, the electronic device may determine whether it is in a stationary state based on its GPS positioning data, and if the GPS positioning data does not substantially change, determine that the electronic device is in a stationary state. It should be noted that, the method for determining that the electronic device is in the stationary state (or the relatively stationary state) is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

Then, after determining that the electronic device is in a static state, the electronic device may continuously detect the network quality of the first network link occupied by the network service. The network quality of the network link may be measured by using an index such as a received signal strength indicator (received signal strength indication, RSSI), a quality of service (quality of service, qoS), or a quality of experience (quality of experience, qoE), and specifically may be determined according to at least one index value of a round-trip time (RTT), a packet loss rate (packet loss rate), a packet error rate, and a transmission rate of a transmitted data packet.

It can be understood that the network service corresponds to a service server, and when the electronic device performs interaction data with the service server, at least one index value of round trip delay, packet loss rate, packet error rate and transmission rate of the data packet can be calculated, and then the network quality of the first network link is determined according to the calculation result. If the calculation result is greater than or equal to a preset threshold value, determining that the network quality of the first network link reaches the preset network quality; if the calculation result is smaller than the preset threshold value, determining that the network quality of the first network link does not reach the preset network quality. In one embodiment, the electronic device may determine the calculation result corresponding to the first network link according to one of the round trip delay, the packet loss rate, the packet error rate, and the transmission rate of the transmitted data packet. In another embodiment, the electronic device may determine the calculation result corresponding to the first network link according to the weighted results of the plurality of index values.

When the electronic device detects that the network quality of the first network link does not reach the preset network quality, the electronic device only needs to detect the network quality of the cell 1 and the cell 2 because the Wi-Fi1 is marked and the network quality does not reach the preset network quality. In one embodiment, when the Sensor Hub determines that the electronic device is in a static state (or a relatively static state), a notification may be sent to the linkbit, and after the linkbit receives the notification, the linkbit starts to detect the network quality of other network links.

In one embodiment, the electronic device may probe cell 1 and cell 2 for network quality one by one based on network priority. In another embodiment, the electronic device may detect network quality for both cell 1 and cell 2. Taking the network quality of the detection cell 1 as an example, as shown in fig. 11, in the process of detecting the network quality, the electronic device may send a group of data packets to the detection server through the base station corresponding to the network of the cell 1, calculate at least one index value of round trip delay, packet loss rate, packet error rate and sending rate for sending the data packets, and then determine the network quality of the cell 1 according to the calculation result; it will be appreciated that the method for determining the network quality of the cell 1 may refer to the above-mentioned procedure for determining the network quality of the first network link, and will not be described in detail herein. Alternatively, the data packet may be a null packet or an internet packet explorer (packet internet groper, ping packet), and the ping packet may include data such as an internet protocol address (internet protocol address, IP address), a data packet type, and a probe server domain name.

For the example of fig. 11 described above, in one embodiment, the electronic device may send a packet to the probe server only once, and determine the network quality of cell 1 based on the result of this probe. In another embodiment, the electronic device may send a plurality of data packets to the probe server, and determine the network quality of the cell 1 according to the plurality of probing results; for example, in the case that the network quality detected each time reaches the preset network quality, it is determined that the network quality of the cell 1 reaches the preset network quality, or in the case that the network quality detected more than the preset ratio (for example, 80%) times reaches the preset network quality, it is determined that the network quality of the cell 1 reaches the preset network quality. In addition, there may be one or a plurality of the probe servers, and when the electronic device transmits the data packet to the probe server a plurality of times, the data packet may be sequentially transmitted to one probe server or may be simultaneously transmitted to a plurality of probe servers.

In one embodiment, the electronic device may detect the network quality of the first network link at preset time intervals. As an achievable way, if the electronic device detects that the network quality of the first network link does not reach the preset network quality only once, it starts to detect the network quality of other network links. As another implementation manner, if the electronic device detects that the network quality of the first network link does not reach the preset network quality for a preset number of times (for example, 2 times), it starts to detect the network quality of other network links again, so as to avoid the error influence caused by the current network link jitter.

Next, the electronic device may determine whether the network link switching condition is satisfied in two ways, and perform switching of the network link if the condition is satisfied:

the first way is: and if the second network link with the network quality reaching the preset network quality is detected, switching the service flow data on the first network link to the second network link.

The second network link is a network link with network quality reaching a preset network quality among other network links. For example, the other network links include cell 1 and cell 2, and after the above detection process, the network quality of cell 1 reaches the preset network quality, and the network quality of cell 2 does not reach the preset network quality, then cell 1 is the second network link; then the electronic device may switch traffic flow data for the network traffic from Wi-Fi2 onto cell 1.

In the second mode, if the network quality of the second network link is detected to be not up to the preset network quality, but the network quality of the second network link is better than the network quality of the first network link, the service flow data on the first network link is switched to the second network link.

The second network link is one of other network links, and although the detected network quality of the second network link does not reach the preset network quality, the network quality is better than that of the first network link, so that the service blocking phenomenon is reduced to a certain extent when the service flow data on the first network link is switched to the second network link.

For example, the other network links include the cell 1 and the cell 2, and after the above detection process, the network quality of the cell 1 does not reach the preset network quality, the network quality of the cell 2 does not reach the preset network quality, but the network quality of the cell 1 is better than the network quality of the first network link, and the cell 1 is the second network link.

In one embodiment, the electronic device may determine whether the network quality of the second network link is better than the network quality of the first network link according to the calculated index value of the transmission data packet. For example, if the index value of the second network link under a certain designated index is higher than the index value of the first network link under the index, determining that the network quality of the second network link is better than the network quality of the first network link; or if the weighted result of the second network link under the multiple index values is higher than the weighted result of the first network link under the multiple index values, determining that the network quality of the second network link is better than the network quality of the first network link.

In one embodiment, after the electronic device detects that the network quality of the first network link does not reach the preset network quality, the electronic device may mark the first network link, that is, mark that the network quality of Wi-Fi2 does not reach the preset network quality. Then, after switching the traffic data on the first network link to the second network link, the electronic device may continue to detect the network quality of the first network link with the second network link as a new first network link, i.e. cell 1 as a new first network link. If the network quality of the new first network link does not reach the preset network quality, the electronic equipment can detect the network link which is not marked with the network quality and does not reach the preset network quality again; at this time, because Wi-Fi1 and Wi-Fi2 have both marked that the network quality does not reach the preset network quality, the network link that can be detected at this time is the cell 2, and the electronic device only needs to detect the cell 2. Therefore, the time for the electronic equipment to detect the network link can be reduced, and the detection efficiency is improved.

In the above-mentioned switching manner of network links, when the electronic device is in a static state (or a relatively static state), if it is detected that the network quality of the first network link does not reach the preset network quality, detection of the network link, which does not mark that the network quality does not reach the preset network quality, is initiated, and detection of the network link, which does not reach the preset network quality, is not required. Therefore, the electronic equipment can screen out network links with network quality which does not reach the preset network quality in advance, so that the hit rate of the second network links is increased, the detection duration is reduced, and the use experience of a user is correspondingly improved.

In one embodiment, the process of marking the first network link by the electronic device detecting that the network quality of the first network link does not reach the preset network quality may be implemented in the following manner: when the electronic equipment detects that the network quality of the first network link does not reach the preset network quality, the reason that the network quality does not reach the preset network quality can be judged again; if the network quality does not reach the preset network quality because the air interface quality does not reach the preset air interface quality, marking the first network link. For example, assuming that the first network link is Wi-Fi2, the electronic device may estimate its distance from the access point (e.g., router) according to the received signal strength; if the distance between the electronic device and the access point is far, it can be considered that the reason that the network quality does not reach the preset network quality is that the air interface quality does not reach the preset air interface quality, so that Wi-Fi2 is marked, and after Wi-Fi2 is marked, the subsequent electronic device does not detect or use the network link any more.

In another embodiment, for the above-mentioned probing process shown in fig. 11, when the electronic device probes other network links, taking the case of cell 1 as an example, in the case that the electronic device sends a data packet to the probe server only once to determine the network quality of cell 1, if the detected network quality of cell 1 does not reach the preset network quality, the electronic device may also mark cell 1. In the case that the electronic device sends the data packet to the detection server multiple times to determine the network quality of the cell 1, if the network quality detected each time does not reach the preset network quality, or if the network quality detected for times exceeding the preset ratio (for example, 80%) does not reach the preset network quality, the electronic device may also mark the cell 1. Then, after marking cell 1, the subsequent electronic device will not probe or use the network link any more. For example, the electronic device detects that the network quality of the cell 1 has not reached the preset network quality 2 consecutive times, and marks the cell 1 as having the network quality not reached the preset network quality.

It should be noted that, the first network link or other network links are marked on the premise that the electronic device is currently in a stationary state (or a relatively stationary state), and if the electronic device is not currently in a stationary state (or a relatively stationary state), the above-described process is not performed. In addition, after the electronic device marks the first network link or other network links, if the electronic device transitions from a stationary state (or a relatively stationary state) to other states, such as a mobile state, the electronic device may remove the mark of the first network link or other network links; or after a preset time period, such as 30 minutes (min), the electronic device may remove the mark of the first network link or other network links, so as to avoid the situation that the network quality of the first network link or other network links is recovered, but the electronic device still does not use the network link, thereby avoiding the waste of network resources.

In the above embodiment, when the electronic device is in the static state (or in a relatively static state), if the network quality of the first network link does not reach the preset network quality, or it is detected that the network quality of the other network links does not reach the preset network quality, the electronic device may mark the network links. When the subsequent electronic equipment initiates network detection again, no network link with network quality which does not reach the preset network quality is detected. Therefore, the electronic equipment can screen out network links with network quality which does not reach the preset network quality in advance, so that the hit rate of the available network links is improved, the detection time is shortened, and the use experience of a user is correspondingly improved.

In one embodiment, in the process of detecting the network quality of each of the cells 1 and 2 by the electronic device according to the network priority, the electronic device may select one of the network links as the second network link according to the detected network quality of the cells 1 and 2 after detecting all of the cells 1 and 2. Alternatively, if there are a plurality of selectable network links, the electronic device may randomly select one of the network links as the second network link, or the electronic device may select a network link with a higher network priority as the second network link.

Illustratively, taking the network link switching procedure described in the first manner above as an example, as shown in fig. 12, assuming that the network priority of cell 1 and cell 2 is cell 1> cell 2, the electronic device first detects cell 1 to obtain the network quality of cell 1, and then detects cell 2 to obtain the network quality of cell 2. If the electronic device detects that the network quality of the cell 1 reaches the preset network quality and the network quality of the cell 2 reaches the preset network quality after detecting all the cells 1 and 2, the electronic device may select any one of the cell 1 and the cell 2 as the second network link, or may select the cell 1 with the high network priority as the second network link. If no network link with the network quality reaching the preset network quality exists at present, the service flow data of the foreground service is not switched temporarily.

In another embodiment, in the process of detecting the network quality by the electronic device for detecting the network quality of the cell 1 and the cell 2 at the same time, a network link with one network quality reaching the preset network quality may be selected as the second network link according to the detected network quality of the cell 1 and the cell 2.

In the above embodiment, the electronic device detects other network links by screening out network links whose network quality does not reach the preset network quality, so that the hit rate of the available network links is improved and the detection duration is reduced.

In yet another embodiment, the electronic device detects network quality of cells 1 and 2 one by one according to the network priority, and if it is determined that the network link switching condition is met during the detection, the electronic device may stop detecting, and use the detected network link as the second network link.

Illustratively, continuing with the network link handoff procedure described in the first manner above as an example, as shown in fig. 13, assuming that the network priority of cell 1 and cell 2 is cell 1> cell 2, the electronic device first detects cell 1 to obtain the network quality of cell 1. If the network quality of the cell 1 reaches the preset network quality, taking the cell 1 as a second network link, and detecting the cell 2 is not needed; if the network quality of the cell 1 does not reach the preset network quality, detecting the cell 2 to obtain the network quality of the cell 2. If the network quality of the cell 2 reaches the preset network quality, taking the cell 2 as a second network link; if the network quality of the cell 2 does not reach the preset network quality, the service flow data is not switched for a while.

In the above embodiment, when the electronic device detects other network links, if the network link that can be switched is detected, the detection is stopped, so that the communication power consumption between the electronic device and the detection server can be reduced, and the working pressure of the electronic device can be reduced.

As can be seen from the above description, the electronic device may determine the network quality of the first network link according to at least one index value of round trip delay, packet loss rate, packet error rate, and transmission rate of the transmission data. In one embodiment, the electronic device may determine which index value is used according to the service type of the network service, for example, an index value of round trip delay is used by the service of the network game, and an index value of packet loss rate is used by the service of the online video. For network game services, if the round trip delay of the first network link is greater than a preset delay threshold, determining that the network quality of the first network link does not reach the preset network quality; for online video-type services, if the packet loss rate of the first network link is greater than a preset ratio, determining that the network quality of the first network link does not reach the preset network quality.

In this embodiment, the electronic device may also determine the second network link based on the traffic type of the network traffic and the detected results of the other network links. As an implementation manner, in the result of the detected other network links, as long as the index value corresponding to the service type reaches the preset threshold value, the network link whose index value reaches the preset threshold value may be used as the second network link. Illustratively, assuming that the detected round trip delay, packet loss rate, and transmission rate of the cell 1 are (a 2, b2, c 2), the round trip delay, packet loss rate, and transmission rate of the cell 2 are (a 3, b3, c 3), an index value of the round trip delay is used for the network game type traffic. If the round trip time delay a2 of the cell 1 is smaller than or equal to the preset time delay threshold, the cell 1 can be used as the second network link, and the service flow data of the network game can be switched to the cell 1 for processing under the condition that the network quality of the first network link does not reach the preset network quality.

As another possible way, in the result of the detected other network links, as long as there is an index value corresponding to the traffic type that is better than the index value of the first network link, the network link whose index value is better than the index value of the first network link is regarded as the second network link. Illustratively, assuming that the detected round trip delay, packet loss rate, and transmission rate of the cell 1 are (a 2, b2, c 2), the round trip delay, packet loss rate, and transmission rate of the cell 2 are (a 3, b3, c 3), an index value of the round trip delay is used for the network game type traffic. If the round trip delay a3 of the cell 2 is smaller than the round trip delay of the first network link, the cell 2 may be used as the second network link, and in the case that the network quality of the first network link does not reach the preset network quality, the service flow data of the network game may be switched to the cell 2 for processing.

In another embodiment, when the electronic device determines which index value is adopted according to the service type of the network service, the index value can be detected and calculated only when detecting the network quality of other network links, and other index values are not required to be calculated, so that the calculation amount of the electronic device can be reduced, and the detection efficiency can be improved. For example, if the network game service adopts the index value of the round trip delay, the electronic device does not need to calculate the packet loss rate and the sending rate. In addition, when detecting the network quality of the first network link, only the index value may be calculated, and no other index value may be calculated.

In the above embodiment, the electronic device determines the index value according to the service type of the foreground service, so as to adapt to different requirements of different service types, and further improve the use experience of the user.

As for the above-described network link switching method based on the status of the electronic device, the network link switching process described in the first manner is taken as an example, and an embodiment is described below. As shown in fig. 14, when the electronic device has a running network service, it is assumed that a current network link occupied by the network service is Wi-Fi2, and a network link whose marked network quality does not reach a preset network quality is Wi-Fi1; at this time, on the one hand, the electronic device adopts Sensor Hub to judge whether to be in a static state (or a relative static state), and notifies linkbit when being in the static state (or the relative static state); on the other hand, the linkbrood also continuously detects the network quality of the first network link.

If the network quality of the first network link does not reach the preset network quality, and the reason that the network quality does not reach the preset network quality is that the air interface quality does not reach the preset air interface quality, and the electronic device is in a static state (or a relatively static state) currently, the electronic device marks the first network link and initiates detection of other network links which are not marked. Under the condition that a second network link with the network quality reaching the preset network quality exists, the electronic equipment switches the service flow data of the network service on the first network link to the second network link; for example, traffic flow data is handed over from Wi-Fi2 to cell 1. Then, the second network link is used as a new first network link, and the LinkTurb continues to detect the network quality of the first network link.

If the network quality of the first network link reaches the preset network quality, continuing to detect the network quality of the first network link.

If the network quality of other network links is detected to not reach the preset network quality, the electronic equipment marks the other network links. When a second network link with the network quality reaching the preset network quality does not exist, the service flow data of the network service are not switched temporarily.

In the above embodiment, when the electronic device is in the static state (or in the relatively static state), if the network quality of the first network link does not reach the preset network quality, the detection of the network link with the network quality not reaching the preset network quality is initiated, and the detection of the network link with the network quality not reaching the preset network quality is not required. Therefore, the electronic equipment can screen out the network links with the network quality which does not reach the preset network quality in advance, so that the hit rate of the available network links is improved, and the detection time is shortened.

In another scenario: when a user downloads a large amount of resources, the electronic device uses Wi-Fi2 and the cell 1 to provide a network service at the same time, namely, one part of traffic flow data of the download task is processed by Wi-Fi2, and the other part of traffic flow data is processed by cell 1. At this time, if the electronic device is in a stationary state (or a relatively stationary state), if it is detected that the network quality of Wi-Fi2 does not reach the preset network quality, but the network quality of cell 1 reaches the preset network quality, only a part of the traffic data processed on Wi-Fi2 may be switched to other available network links for processing, such as to cell 1 or to cell 2 satisfying the condition.

In addition, in one embodiment, the switching process of the network link provided in the embodiment of the present application may also be suitable for a scenario where the electronic device moves in a small range, for example, it is found by using a GPS positioning technology that the electronic device moves only in a fixed area, if the electronic device detects that the network quality of the first network link does not reach the preset network quality, the first network link may be marked, and the network quality of other network links may be detected, and in the case that the network link switching condition in the above embodiment is met, the service flow data on the first network link executing the network service is switched to be processed on the second network link.

In yet another embodiment, the electronic device may further collect network signals of each network in the area, establish a signal fingerprint library of the location, and mark a network link where the network signal does not reach the preset network quality, when the electronic device arrives at the location again, if the network quality of the first network link for processing the network service does not reach the preset network quality, the network reaching the preset network quality may be directly obtained from the signal fingerprint library, and the service flow data may be switched to the network link with the better signal.
