In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to fig. 1, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for counting traffic, including:

101: and acquiring the number of the current network type.

The method provided by this embodiment may be applied to a terminal, and a network that may be used by the terminal may include a plurality of networks, such as any one or several of 2G, 3G, and 4G, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment.

Since there are various types of networks, in order to distinguish between different types of networks, the networks may be numbered, with different numbers corresponding to different network types.

102: and inquiring a network type mapping table according to the number to determine the type of the current network.

The network type mapping table is a mapping relation table of network types and numbers. The table includes the network type and the corresponding number. For example, the enhanced data rate for GSM evolution (EDGE) is numbered 2, and the Long Term Evolution (LTE) is numbered 13.

103: and acquiring the current traffic use condition from the local traffic statistical table, and taking the traffic use condition as the traffic use condition of the current network.

The local traffic statistical table may include the current traffic usage but does not include network type information, so that the traffic usage of the current network can be obtained by combining the determined network type with the traffic usage obtained at the moment. The traffic usage may be 80kB, 2MB, 50MB, or 100MB, etc. In general, an operator deducts traffic monthly, so the traffic counting period is also performed monthly, the traffic in each month is accumulated and counted, and is cleared after one month, and the traffic is counted again from zero in the next month.

In this embodiment, optionally, the obtaining of the number of the current network type may include:

acquiring the number of the current network type periodically; or,

and acquiring the number of the current network type after the network switching occurs.

In this embodiment, optionally, querying the network type mapping table according to the number to determine the type of the current network may include:

and inquiring a network type mapping table according to the number, if the number is 2, determining that the type of the current network is enhanced data rate for global system for mobile communications (EDGE), and if the number is 13, determining that the type of the current network is Long Term Evolution (LTE).

In this embodiment, optionally, the method may further include:

obtaining the last service condition of the current network in the last stored traffic statistical result;

and comparing the current network traffic use condition obtained this time with the current network traffic use condition last time, and if the traffic is increased, updating the current network traffic use condition in the traffic statistical result into the current network traffic use condition obtained this time.

In this embodiment, optionally, the method may further include:

sending a request for correcting a local traffic statistic result to a server, wherein the request carries a traffic notification short message sent by an operator;

receiving the EDGE flow service condition and/or LTE flow service condition returned by the server according to the flow notification short message;

and updating the local statistical traffic use condition by using the traffic use condition of the EDGE and/or the traffic use condition of the LTE returned by the server.

In the method provided by this embodiment, the number of the current network type is obtained, the network type mapping table is queried according to the number, the type of the current network is determined, the current traffic usage is obtained in the local traffic statistical table, and the traffic usage is used as the traffic usage of the current network, so that automatic local traffic statistics is realized, short message interaction with an operator is not required, and a user can conveniently query traffic.

Referring to fig. 2, another embodiment of the present invention provides a method for counting traffic, including:

201: and acquiring the number of the current network type periodically or acquiring the number of the current network type after network switching occurs.

In a scenario where the number of the current network type is obtained periodically, the obtaining may be performed according to a preset period, where the period may be set as required, such as 5 minutes, 2 minutes, 1 minute, and so on.

In addition, the number of the current network type can be acquired after the network switching occurs, so that the switched network can be subjected to traffic statistics in time, and the effect of timely traffic statistics is achieved.

It is worth mentioning that, the above-mentioned periodic acquisition and the acquisition after network switching, as long as one of the two conditions is satisfied, the number of the current network type is acquired, so that the traffic can be counted timely and accurately, and the timeliness and accuracy of traffic counting are improved.

202: and inquiring a network type mapping table according to the number to determine the type of the current network.

For example, as shown in table 1, the following description is specific to a network type mapping table that is locally pre-stored, and includes a network type and a corresponding number:

network type	Numbering
		GPRS	1
EDGE	2
		UMTS	3
CDMA	4
		EVDO_0	5
EVDO_A	6
		1xRTT	7
HSDPA	8
		HSUPA	9
HSPA	10
		IDEN	11
EVDO_B	12
		LTE	13
EHRPD	14
		HSPAP	15

TABLE 1

Wherein, the network type in the network type mapping table comprises: general Packet Radio Service (GPRS), EDGE, Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS), Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), CDMA20001x Evolution, Evolution of data only (Evolution, DataOnly, EVDO) _0, EVDO _ a, radio transmission technology (radio transmission technology, 1xRTT), High speed downlink packet access (High speed downlink packet access, HSDPA), High speed uplink packet access (High speed uplink packet access, HSUPA), High speed packet access (High speed packet access, HSPA), integrated digital enhanced network (integrated digital enhanced network, entry packet access, ehdn, HSPA), High speed packet access (High speed packet access, HSPA), High speed packet access, hspdata, and packet data, wherein the High speed packet access is hspd, uplink packet access, hspda, and packet data, wherein the High speed packet access is referred to as "packet access — 15 packet data". The corresponding network type may be determined from any of the numbers 1-15.

For example, the step may specifically include:

EDGE refers to 2G or 3G networks, and LTE refers to 4G networks.

203: and acquiring the current traffic use condition from the local traffic statistical table, and taking the traffic use condition as the traffic use condition of the current network.

Based on the type of the current network determined in the above steps, it can be known that the current traffic usage in the local traffic statistical table is the traffic usage of the current network. For example, having determined that the current network is an EDGE network, and obtaining the current traffic usage from the local traffic statistics table is 500KB, it can be determined that the current EDGE traffic usage is 500 KB. Or, if the current network is determined to be the LTE network, and the current traffic usage obtained from the local traffic statistics table is 30MB, it may be determined that the current LTE traffic uses 30 MB.

204: and obtaining the last service condition of the current network in the last stored traffic statistical result.

In this embodiment, the current statistical result is stored in the traffic statistics performed periodically or after network handover occurs, and when the traffic statistics is performed again, the current statistical result may be compared with the traffic statistical result stored last time, so as to determine whether there is traffic increase.

205: and comparing the current network traffic use condition obtained this time with the current network traffic use condition last time, and if the traffic is increased, updating the current network traffic use condition in the traffic statistical result into the current network traffic use condition obtained this time.

For example, the flow statistics holds the last statistics: EDGE has used traffic 800KB and LTE has used traffic 260 MB. If the current network type determined this time is LTE and the current traffic already uses 310MB, it can be determined that the traffic of LTE has increased after a comparison of 310MB > 260MB, and therefore, the saved used traffic of LTE is updated to 310 MB.

It should be noted that, if the comparison shows that the traffic of the current network does not increase, the last saved result is still retained without updating the traffic usage of the current network.

Referring to fig. 3, another embodiment of the present invention provides a method for counting traffic, including:

301: and acquiring the number of the current network type.

The step may specifically include:

acquiring the number of the current network type periodically; or,

302: and inquiring a network type mapping table according to the number to determine the type of the current network.

The step may specifically include:

303: and acquiring the current traffic use condition from the local traffic statistical table, and taking the traffic use condition as the traffic use condition of the current network.

304: and sending a request for correcting the local traffic statistical result to a server, wherein the request carries a traffic notification short message sent by an operator.

The traffic notification short message sent to the terminal by the operator may be actively sent by the operator, for example, when the network traffic reaches 10%, 50%, or 100%, the short message is actively sent to notify the terminal of the traffic usage. Or, the user of the terminal may also actively send a query short message and then reply the query short message to the terminal, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment.

The traffic notification short message generally includes: network type, used traffic or traffic usage percentage, etc. When a terminal can use multiple networks, an operator can notify traffic usage of the multiple networks in a short message. For example, the traffic notification short message sent by the operator includes: 2G/3G has used 20% flow, 4G has used 60% flow, and so on.

305: and receiving the EDGE flow service condition and/or the LTE flow service condition returned by the server according to the flow notification short message.

After receiving the request, the server analyzes the traffic notification short message carried in the request to acquire the network type and the traffic service condition. Specifically, a preset matching algorithm, such as a prefix or suffix matching method, may be used to match the network type, and then the traffic usage is extracted from the statement numbering the network type, which is not described herein. It should be noted that, no matter what type of network is, the method of analyzing, matching and extracting by the server is the same, and the difference is only in the keyword used when matching the network type.

In this embodiment, EDGE (i.e., 2G/3G) and LTE (i.e., 4G) are mainly distinguished, and therefore, a traffic use case in which a server returns to both networks will be described as an example. Of course, the server may return either one of the two or both, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment.

306: and updating the local statistical traffic use condition by using the traffic use condition of the EDGE and/or the traffic use condition of the LTE returned by the server.

The service condition of the flow returned by the server is based on the statistical result of the operator, so the accuracy is higher, and the result of the local statistics of the terminal is updated by using the service condition of the flow, so that the accuracy of the statistical result can be ensured while the terminal can perform the flow statistics in time. The timeliness and the accuracy of the flow statistics are both considered, and the flow statistics effect is better.

In this embodiment, the terminal can show the flow result of statistics on the interface to make things convenient for the user to look over the flow in service behavior, and 2G/3G's flow in service behavior and 4G's flow in service behavior can separately show, and is independent separately, avoids making statistics of the confusion, brings better experience for the user.
