BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments may be combined with each other without conflict. According to an embodiment of the present invention, a network selection method for a multimode terminal is provided. As shown in FIG. 1, the method includes the following steps (step S102 to step S106): Step S102, a multimode terminal initiates a service request. After that, the history of the service requested by the multimode terminal to execute the service request is obtained. Step S104: The multimode terminal collects the online duration of the service in the preset time period and the transmission traffic in the preset time period according to the historical record. Step S106: The multimode terminal selects a network camp corresponding to the statistics of the online duration and the charging mode matched by the foregoing transmission traffic. The above steps are specifically described below. In order to save user fees, after the multimode terminal initiates a service request, the network camping may be selected according to the type of the initiated service. For example, for services that are not demanding on the network, there is no difference in the cost on 2G, 3G, and WLAN 4G networks. For traffic that is not large, but requires long-term online services, such as QQ and stock market. Lines, etc., can choose to be network-resident according to the flow rate; for services with short online time and large traffic consumption, such as P2P download, etc., you can choose to stay on a network with a long-term charge. In practical applications, the multimode terminal can select the corresponding network resident according to the average transmission traffic of the service, thereby saving user communication costs. In order to obtain the average transmission traffic of the service, the multi-mode terminal can record the history of the execution service, and according to the history record, the online duration and the transmission traffic of the service within a preset time period can be counted, thereby calculating the online time of the service. The average traffic within the network is then selected based on the calculated average traffic flow. Wherein, if the calculated average transmission traffic is less than the preset threshold, the network camping according to the transmission traffic fee is selected, otherwise, the network camping according to the online duration charging is selected. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, after the multimode terminal camps on the selected network and ends the service requested by the service request, the online duration and the transmission traffic of the currently executed service may also be recorded, thereby implementing the multimode terminal. When the service is initiated again, the average transmission traffic can be accurately calculated according to the updated historical data, thereby improving network selection accuracy and reliability. For example, you can set up a database that stores online time and traffic for performing different services. According to the recorded historical data, the online duration and transmission traffic of the service in a certain period of time can be counted. When the online time of the statistical service is within a certain period of time and the traffic is transmitted, the length of the time segment can be set according to requirements, for example, The last hour of this business, or all historical records. Different operators offer users a variety of different tariff packages, which are convenient for different users, for example, monthly packages, quarterly packages, data packages, and package duration packages. The multimode terminal can subscribe to the tariff packages provided by the operators of one or more networks (for example, a data package, a package duration package, etc.), wherein the tariff package can include: transmission traffic and/or units that can be used per unit time. The amount of online time that can be used during the time. For example, users can order a packet flow plan for a 3G network. The monthly available traffic is 30M, and the average traffic that can be used per day is 1M. Or the user can subscribe to the WLAN network package duration package. In the case of a multimode terminal subscription packet traffic plan (specifying the transmission traffic that can be used per unit time, for example, a monthly traffic rate of 30M), the multimode terminal can determine the current remaining traffic and the remaining based on the packet traffic package information. The time is used to determine the average flow that can be used during the preset time period. The multimode terminal compares the average traffic that can be used in the preset time period with the average traffic of the current service in the preset time period. If the average traffic that can be used in the preset time period is greater than the average traffic volume of the current service, the multiple mode terminal selects The network of the package traffic plan resides. For example, the multimode terminal subscribes to the 3G network traffic monthly subscription package, and provides 30M Internet traffic per month. The current traffic value is 0.1M in one hour, the number of days in the current month is 30 days, and the number of days in the current month is 10 days. The remaining traffic is 20M, then 25/ (30-10) /12>0.1, so choose to choose the network according to the package flow preferential strategy, and choose 3G network to stay. In the multi-mode terminal subscription package duration package (which specifies the online duration that can be used per unit time, for example, the available online duration is 300 minutes per month), the multi-mode terminal can determine the current remaining based on the package duration package information. The online duration and remaining usage time can be used to determine the average online duration that can be used during the preset time period. The multimode terminal compares the average online duration that can be used in the preset time period with the average online duration of the current service in the preset time period. If the average online duration that can be used in the preset time period is greater than the average online duration of the current service, Then select the network stay of the package duration package. In the case that the multi-mode terminal subscribes to the packet duration package and the packet traffic package at the same time, the multi-mode terminal can select the corresponding network resident according to the average transmission traffic of the current service, thereby saving the user communication fee. In order to obtain the average transmission traffic of the service, the multi-mode terminal can calculate the online duration and the transmission traffic of the service within a preset time period according to the current history of the service, so that the average traffic of the service in the online time can be calculated. The calculated average flow rate is compared with a preset reference average flow rate (preset threshold value). If the calculated average transmission flow rate is less than the reference average flow rate, the network resident according to the transmission flow rate is selected, otherwise, press online. The duration of the billing network resides. Preferably, a comparison threshold (denoted as M) may also be set. If the difference between the calculated average traffic and the preset reference average traffic is greater than or less than the threshold M, then the user prefers the mode mode selection network. In addition, the service currently initiated by the multimode terminal does not use the history (for example, the service is initiated for the first time), and may operate according to the default network selection policy. The default network selection policy may be: Low-speed service is offloaded from the TD-SCDMA network. The medium and high-speed services are offloaded from the WLAN, and the high-value data services are offloaded from the LTE. For example, QQ applications, stock market applications, etc. select TD-SCDMA networks, point-to-point (P2P) downloads select WLAN networks, mailboxes, online video selection LTE networks, MMS, etc. Select 2G networks. After the traffic or the duration of the preset time period is accumulated, the duration and traffic information of the service are counted, and the network camp is selected according to the method in the above embodiment of the present invention. After the expiration of the tariff plan ordered by the user, the total online time and/or the total transmission traffic used during the time period can be counted according to the historical record of the multi-mode terminal within the time limit specified by the tariff package, and then according to the total online duration and regulations. Whether the difference between the online durations that can be used in the time, or the difference between the total transmission traffic and the transmission traffic that can be used within a predetermined time, determines whether the difference exceeds a preset threshold, and if the determination result is yes, Then, the package is not suitable for the user, and the multi-mode terminal can prompt the user to change the subscription fee package. For example, set the traffic threshold to 10M and the duration threshold to 5 hours. The traffic in the data service package is 30M and the duration is 15 hours. The actual traffic used this month is 50M, and the duration is 10 minutes. The user is prompted to update the data service package. It is recommended to increase the GPRS traffic and cancel the WLAN packet duration service. According to the embodiment of the present invention, the multimode terminal can select a network camp according to the online duration and the transmission traffic in the preset time period of the service, and select a network camp corresponding to the current service history online duration and the matching manner of the transmission traffic. Thereby saving user communication costs. According to an embodiment of the present invention, a network selection device for a multimode terminal is provided, which may be, but is not limited to, a method for implementing the foregoing embodiments. 2 is a structural block diagram of a network selection device of a multimode terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 2, the device may include: an acquisition module 202, a statistics module 204, and a network selection module 206. The obtaining module 202 is configured to: after the service request is initiated, obtain a history record of the service requested by the multimode terminal to perform the service request; the statistics module 204 is coupled with the obtaining module 202, and is configured to collect the service according to the acquired historical record. The online duration in the preset time period and the transmission traffic in the preset time period; the network selection module 206 is configured to select the charging method that matches the online duration of the current service and the transmission traffic calculated by the statistics module 204. The network resides. In practical applications, the multimode terminal can select the corresponding network resident according to the average transmission traffic of the service, thereby saving user communication costs. In order to obtain the average transmission traffic of the service, the multi-mode terminal can record the history of the executed service, and according to the history record, the online duration and the transmission traffic of the service in the preset time period can be counted, so that the service can be calculated. The average traffic during the online time is then selected based on the calculated average transmission traffic. In a preferred embodiment of the implementation example of the present invention, the apparatus may further include: a calculating module, configured to calculate an average transmission traffic of the current service within the online duration. The network selection module 206 selects the network resident according to the average transmission traffic calculated by the calculation module. If the average transmission traffic is less than the preset threshold, the network resident according to the transmission flow rate is selected. Otherwise, the network resident according to the online duration charging is selected. . In order to record the history of the executed service, in a preferred embodiment of the embodiment of the present invention, the network selection device of the multimode terminal may further include: a recording module, configured to camp on the selected network, and end the service request After the requested service, the online duration and transmission traffic of the current service are recorded. According to the preferred embodiment, when the multimode terminal initiates the service again, the average transmission traffic can be accurately calculated according to the updated historical data, thereby improving network selection accuracy and reliability. In an actual application, the network selection device of the multimode terminal may further include: an ordering module, configured to subscribe to a tariff package provided by an operator of one or more networks, wherein the tariff package includes: a transmission that can be used per unit time The amount of online time that can be used for traffic and/or unit time. For example, users can subscribe to the 3G network packet traffic package through the subscription module. The monthly available traffic is 30M, and the average traffic that can be used every day is 1M. Or the user can subscribe to the WLAN network packet duration package. The multi-mode terminal can subscribe to one or more tariff packages provided by the operator through the order module. The tariff package can be a packet flow package (specifying the transmission traffic that can be used per unit time), or a package duration package (specifying the unit time) The amount of online time that can be used within, as well as other similar tariff packages. The network selection module 206 can select the network resident according to the online duration or average traffic of the current service in combination with the ordered tariff package. In the case that the multi-mode terminal subscribes to the packet traffic package, the transmission traffic that can be used within the preset time can be calculated. If the average transmission traffic of the current service is less than the transmission traffic that can be used within the preset time, the network selection module 206 selects The network resides by the transmission flow meter. Preferably, the traffic that may be used may be calculated according to the average traffic of the current service and the remaining time of the current package, and compared with the remaining traffic of the packet traffic plan. If the traffic that may be used is smaller than the remaining traffic of the packet traffic plan, the packet traffic plan is selected. The network resides. For example, the remaining traffic of the enquiry package is 45M, and the traffic value of the service within one hour is Ο. ΙΜ, the number of days in the month is 30 days, and the number of days in the current month is 10 days, then 0.1*12* (30-10) = 24, 24<45, so choose to choose the network according to the package flow preferential strategy, and choose 3G network to stay. In the case that the multi-mode terminal subscribes to the packet duration package, the online duration that can be used in the preset time period and the average online duration of the current service in the preset time period can be calculated, if the average online duration of the current service is less than the preset time. Within the online duration that can be used, the network selection module 206 selects the network resident that is charged by the online duration. For example, the multimode terminal selects the download service, and the multimode terminal subscribes to the package duration package. The remaining duration is 30 hours, and the online time is 5 minutes in one hour. The number of days in the month is 31 days. The number of days in the current month is 16 day. Assuming that the data service time is 12 hours per day, you can calculate 30/(31-16)/12=1/6 hours (that is, 10 minutes), and you can use the average online time of 10 minutes, which is greater than the average online business. The duration, so choose to select the network according to the packet duration priority policy, and select the WLAN network to camp. Since the user subscribes to the tariff package through the subscription module, after the expiration of the tariff plan subscribed by the user, the total online duration and/or usage during the time period can be counted according to the historical record of the multi-mode terminal within the time limit specified in the tariff package. The total transmission traffic is then determined whether the difference exceeds the pre-determination based on the difference between the total online duration and the online duration that can be used within the specified time, or the difference between the total transmission traffic and the transmission traffic that can be used within the specified time. If the result of the determination is YES, then the package is not suitable for the user, and the multi-mode terminal can prompt the user to change the subscription fee package. In practical applications, it is possible to determine whether the user is suitable to use the ordered package according to the usage of the user fee package. In order to achieve the above object, in a preferred embodiment of the embodiment of the present invention, the statistic module 204 may be further configured to: after the end of one of the unit time, according to the historical record recorded in the unit time, the statistics are within a specified time. Total online duration and/or total transmission traffic used. The device may further include: a determining module, configured to determine whether a difference between the total online duration and the online duration that can be used in the predetermined time exceeds a preset duration threshold, or determine the total transmission traffic and the transmission that can be used within the specified time. Whether the difference between the flows exceeds the preset traffic threshold; the prompting module is set to prompt the user to change the subscription fee package when the judgment result of the determination module is YES. According to the embodiment of the present invention, the multimode terminal can select a network camp according to the online duration and the transmission traffic in the preset time period of the service, and select a network camp corresponding to the current service history online duration and the matching manner of the transmission traffic. Thereby saving user communication costs. The following description is made by way of specific embodiments.

Terminal services include calls, ring tones, SMS, MMS, online listening, mobile reading, online games, mobile Internet, mobile video, Renren, Kaixin, Sina Weibo, etc. Some services have low requirements on the network. They are carried out on 2G, 3G, and WLAN 4G networks. There is no difference in cost. At this time, you should choose the most stable network. Some services are not large, but they need to be online for a long time, such as QQ and stock market. Class, at this time, the network that selects the packet traffic is more economical; some services, such as P2P download, have a large amount of short-term traffic, and it is more appropriate to select a network with a packet duration. The tariff package obtaining module 304 is configured to obtain the package allowance information ordered by the user. Specifically, the tariff package obtaining module 304 is configured to obtain the package information subscribed by the user, extract the charging information of the user data service from the package information, and calculate the user residual traffic and the user remaining time information of the data service in the current package. The statistics module 306 is configured to calculate, by using a predetermined algorithm, which method is more suitable for the user to select the network, and which network to camp is more suitable. The network selection module 308 is configured to select a suitable network camp for the terminal. According to the package information ordered by the user, the remaining traffic and duration information are calculated by using the statistics of the user's used Internet traffic and duration statistics module.

The package recommendation module 310 is configured to compare a packet duration and packet traffic data according to the user's data traffic and duration information of the current month, and set a certain threshold. If the threshold is exceeded, the user is prompted to replace the data service package. Through the embodiment of the present invention, the multi-mode terminal selects the network according to the network package, and through analyzing the service and the package information, the user can dynamically select the most favorable network resident for the user without affecting the user's use, and reach the user. The purpose of saving money. Embodiment 2 According to an embodiment of the present invention, a network selection device for a multimode terminal is provided. 4 is a structural block diagram of a network selection device of a multimode terminal according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 4, the device may include: a service selection module 402, a package query module 404, a statistics module 406, a network selection module 408, and The package recommendation module 410. The service selection module 402 is configured to obtain a service type performed by the user on the terminal. Terminal services include calls, ring tones, SMS, MMS, online listening, mobile reading, online games, mobile Internet, mobile video, Renren, Kaixin, Sina Weibo and many more. Some services are not very demanding on the network. They are carried out on 2G, 3G, WLAN, 4G networks. There is no difference in cost. At this time, the most stable network should be selected. Some services are not large, but they need to be online for a long time, such as QQ and stock market. And so on, at this time, the network that selects the packet traffic is more economical; some services, such as P2P download, have a large amount of short-term traffic, and it is more appropriate to select a network with a packet duration. The package inquiry module 404 is configured to obtain the tariff package information. The above tariff plan information includes the tariff under the conditions of use specified in the current tariff package. Generally, the tariff package information is defined by the operator and stored in the corresponding server, and the mobile terminal can actively obtain information of all the optional tariff packages from the server, or can be actively pushed by the server to the mobile terminal. The details of these tariff packages can be found in the following description. For example, China Mobile's GPRS package standard is a domestic mobile data 5 yuan package, monthly fee of 5 yuan, including traffic 30MB; domestic mobile data 20 yuan package, monthly fee is 10 yuan, including traffic 60MB; domestic mobile data 50 yuan package The monthly fee is 50 yuan, including 500MB of traffic. The traffic fee after exceeding the traffic is 0.001 yuan / KB. China Mobile WLAN charging standard: monthly basic fee of 30 yuan, including WLAN duration of 15 hours / month; monthly basic fee of 50 yuan, including WLAN duration of 40 hours / month; monthly basic fee of 100 yuan, including WLAN duration of 200 hours / month; The WLAN fee after the package is 0.05 yuan / minute. The package inquiry module obtains the package information subscribed by the user, analyzes the user package flow data, the packet duration data, and combines the used time and the used traffic of the user to calculate the remaining network traffic of the user this month, and the remaining time information of the user. The statistics module 406, which is set to select which network selection strategy to use, is more suitable. The statistic module compares the average metrics that can be used in the preset time period with the average traffic that can be used in the preset time period according to the tariff package information obtained by the package query module 404, if the average traffic can be used within the preset time period. If the traffic is greater than the above average traffic of the current service, the network camp of the packet traffic plan is selected. For example, the multimode terminal subscribes to the 3G network traffic monthly subscription package, and provides 30M Internet traffic per month. The current traffic value is 0.1M in one hour, the number of days in the current month is 30 days, and the number of days in the current month is 10 days. The remaining traffic is 20M, then 25/ (30-10) /12>0.1, so choose to choose the network according to the package flow preferential strategy, and choose 3G network to stay. Combined with the predetermined algorithm, it is more appropriate to choose which network selection strategy the user chooses. The network selection module 408 is configured to set a priority order of the selected network. If it is calculated by the statistics module 406 that the user selects the packet-based traffic plan to be more appropriate, the network residency of the packet traffic is preferentially selected. If it is calculated that the user selects the package duration package according to the package length, the network stay of the packet duration package is preferentially selected. The package recommendation module 410 is configured to compare the packet duration and packet traffic data in the package query module 404 according to the traffic and duration information of the data service of the user in the current month, and set a certain threshold. If the threshold is exceeded, the user is prompted. Replace the data service package. For example, set the traffic threshold to 10M and the duration threshold to 5 hours. The traffic in the data service package is 30M and the duration is 15 hours. The actual traffic used this month is 50M, and the duration is 10 minutes. The user is prompted to update the data service package. It is recommended to increase the GPRS traffic and cancel the WLAN packet duration service. Embodiment 3 According to an embodiment of the present invention, a network selection method for a multimode terminal is provided, which may be implemented in a network selection device of a multimode terminal according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention. 5 is a flowchart of a method for selecting a network of a multimode terminal according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 5, the method may include the following steps (step S502 to step S526): Step S502: Recording a multimode terminal The type of business being performed. Step S504: Acquire the tariff package information. The package query module 404 obtains the data information of the packet duration and the packet traffic in the data service subscribed by the terminal, and calculates the remaining traffic and the remaining duration in the data service in the package according to the used duration and the used traffic information. Step S506: If it is learned from the query result in step S504 that the data service in the call charge package has only the packet duration package, the process proceeds to step S504. Step S508: Calculate the duration of the Internet access within one hour, assuming Y minutes, proceeding to step S505; if Y is 0, proceeding directly to step S524, selecting a network according to the packet duration preferential policy. Step S510: Set the traffic volume set in the data package to be St. The online time in one hour is Y minutes, and the number of days in the month is D, and the number of days in the current month is X. Then, the average length of Internet access within one hour according to the package standard is St / (DX) / 12, if Y < St / (DX) / 12, then proceeds to step S524; if Y > St / (DX) / 12, then proceeds to the step S516, (12 is the number of durations of using the terminal data service in one day, reference value). Step S512: If there is both the packet duration package and the packet flow package in the call charge package, the process proceeds to step S516. Step S514: If there is no preferential package for the data service in the toll package, the process proceeds to step S516. Step S516: If the throughput of a certain service in actual use satisfies a certain random function V(t), as shown in FIG.

^v(t)dt 6 For the integration of 0 to tl time, the total network throughput of tl time can be calculated. , then tl n n

^v{t)dt l t\ ^v{t)dt l t\ The average network throughput in time is . ; Set the VI to the baseline throughput, if. Less than n

^v{t)dt l t\

VI, proceed to step S524, and select a network according to the package duration preferential strategy; if. If it is greater than VI, the process proceeds to step S526, and the network is selected according to the package flow preferential strategy. In particular, the implementation here can be based on the user's own preference n

^v{t)dt l t\

The way to set a threshold M if. If the -VI is greater than or less than the threshold M, the user enters the preferred package mode selection network. In particular, the setting of the VI here can be determined by reference to the operator's tariff package standard. In addition, if the throughput of a service in actual use does not have a proper random function representation, the average traffic in the tl time can be taken. For example, the unit flow values in the tl time are vl, v2, v3, ..... Vn, then the average network throughput in tl time is (vl+v2+v3+...+vn)/tl. Step S518: The data service in the call charge package only has the packet flow package, and the process proceeds to step S520. Step S520: The traffic value in one hour is counted as M mega; if X is zero, the process directly proceeds to step S526, and the network is selected according to the packet traffic preferential policy. Step S522: Set the traffic within one hour to M megabytes, the traffic balance in the packet flow package is S, the number of days in the month is D, and the number of days in the current month is X. Then, M*12*D is the flow value of the service in one month for the flow rate of M for one hour. If M*12*CD-X)<S; then you should choose to select the network according to the packet traffic preferential strategy (12 is the number of hours of terminal data service used per day, reference value). Step S524: Select a network according to the packet duration preferential policy. For example, if the WLAN network sets a packet duration package, the network selection order is preferably a WLAN. Step S526: In order to select a network according to the packet traffic preferential policy, for example, if the 3G network sets a packet traffic package, the network selection order is preferably 3G. For example, if the user selects the QQ service, the process proceeds to step S504, and the remaining traffic of the query package is 45M. If the data service in the call charge package is only the packet flow package, the process proceeds to step S518, and the traffic value of the service within one hour is 0.1M, and the number of days in the month is 30. Days, the number of days that have passed in the current month is 10 days, then 0.1*12* (30-10) = 24, 24<45, so choose to choose the network according to the package flow preferential strategy, and choose 3G network to stay. The user selects the P2P download service, and proceeds to step S504, where only the package duration package is included in the query package, and the remaining time is 30 hours. The process proceeds to step 304, and the accumulated online time is 5 minutes in one hour, and the process proceeds to step S510, St=30 hours, D month. The number of days is 31 days, and the number of days that have passed in the current month is 16 days. Then St/(DX)/12 = 30/ (31-16)/12=1/6, for 10 minutes, 5<10; so choose to select the network according to the packet duration priority policy, after the service enters, select the WLAN network to reside. . In particular, when a service is used for the first time, it operates according to the default network selection policy. The default network selection policy is: low-speed service is offloaded from TD, medium-to-high-speed service is offloaded from WLAN, and high-value data service is offloaded from LTE. For example, QQ applications, stock market applications, etc. select TD network, P2P download selects WLAN network, mailbox, online video selects LTE network, MMS, etc. Select 2G network. After accumulating the flow or duration of one hour, proceed to the above steps to select the package. According to the terminal service selected by the user and the package information subscribed by the user, a certain calculation method is used to calculate which network selection method is more suitable, and the user selection network priority is calculated according to the calculation result, and the appropriate network resident is selected. And the network traffic and network duration used by the user are counted in a certain period of time, compared with the duration of the data service traffic in the package ordered by the user, prompting the user whether the package needs to be replaced, and the purpose of helping the user to save money is maximized. According to the embodiment of the present invention, according to the service type of the multi-mode terminal service, the package information subscribed by the user, the optimal network selection method is calculated, and the user is prompted to replace the data service package, which can be maximized in the case of ensuring the user experience. The choice of the cheapest network to stay, choose the most appropriate package, to help users save money, significantly improve the user's interests. From the above description, it can be seen that the present invention achieves the following technical effects: According to the current type of data service, and using the current business history record, and the package information subscribed by the user, the optimal network selection method is calculated, and After the use of the package, the user is prompted to replace the data service package. In the case of ensuring the user experience, the user can select the cheapest network to choose the most suitable package to save the user.
