The mobile terminal 100 as shown in fig. 1 may be configured to operate with communication means such as wired and wireless communication means and satellite-based communication means that transmit data via frames or packets.

A communication apparatus in which a mobile terminal according to the present invention is operable will now be described with reference to fig. 2.

Such communication devices may use different air interfaces and/or physical layers. For example, the air interface used by the communication device includes, for example, Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA), Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), and universal mobile telecommunications device (UMTS) (in particular, Long Term Evolution (LTE)), global system for mobile communications (GSM), and so forth. The following description relates to a CDMA communication device, as a non-limiting example, but such teachings are equally applicable to other types of devices.

Referring to fig. 2, the CDMA wireless communication apparatus may include a plurality of mobile terminals 100, a plurality of Base Stations (BSs) 270, Base Station Controllers (BSCs) 275, and a Mobile Switching Center (MSC) 280. The MSC280 is configured to interface with a Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) 290. The MSC280 is also configured to interface with a BSC275, which may be coupled to the base station 270 via a backhaul. The backhaul may be constructed according to any of several known interfaces including, for example, E1/T1, ATM, IP, PPP, frame Relay, HDSL, ADSL, or xDSL. It will be understood that an apparatus as shown in fig. 2 may include a plurality of BSCs 2750.

Each BS270 may serve one or more sectors (or regions), each sector covered by a multi-directional antenna or an antenna pointing in a particular direction being radially distant from the BS 270. Alternatively, each partition may be covered by two or more antennas for diversity reception. Each BS270 may be configured to support multiple frequency allocations, with each frequency allocation having a particular frequency spectrum (e.g., 1.25MHz,5MHz, etc.).

The intersection of partitions with frequency allocations may be referred to as a CDMA channel. The BS270 may also be referred to as a base transceiver sub-assembly (BTS) or other equivalent terminology. In such a case, the term "base station" may be used to generically refer to a single BSC275 and at least one BS 270. The base stations may also be referred to as "cells". Alternatively, each sector of a particular BS270 may be referred to as a plurality of cell sites.

As shown in fig. 2, a Broadcast Transmitter (BT)295 transmits a broadcast signal to the mobile terminal 100 operating within the apparatus. A broadcast receiving module 111 as shown in fig. 1 is provided at the mobile terminal 100 to receive a broadcast signal transmitted by the BT 295. In fig. 2, several global positioning device (GPS) satellites 300 are shown. The satellite 300 assists in locating at least one of the plurality of mobile terminals 100.

In fig. 2, a plurality of satellites 300 are depicted, but it is understood that useful positioning information may be obtained with any number of satellites. As a typical operation of the wireless communication apparatus, the BS270 receives reverse link signals from various mobile terminals 100. The mobile terminal 100 is generally engaged in conversations, messaging, and other types of communications. Each reverse link signal received by a particular base station 270 is processed within the particular BS 270. The obtained data is forwarded to the associated BSC 275. The BSC provides call resource allocation and mobility management functions including coordination of soft handoff procedures between BSs 270. The BSCs 275 also route the received data to the MSC280, which provides additional routing services for interfacing with the PSTN 290. Similarly, the PSTN290 interfaces with the MSC280, the MSC interfaces with the BSCs 275, and the BSCs 275 accordingly control the BS270 to transmit forward link signals to the mobile terminal 100.

Based on the above hardware structure of the mobile terminal and the structure of the communication device, the embodiments of the network stability control device of the present invention are proposed, and the network stability control device is a part of the mobile terminal.

Referring to fig. 3, the present invention provides a network stability control apparatus, which, in a first embodiment of the network stability control apparatus, includes:

the external network hotspot refers to a free wireless network hotspot provided for the public by a mobile terminal, a provider, a government agency, a merchant, an airport and the like, and generally limits the time length of public connection and the consumed flow, for example, the network hotspot provided by the airport can be used for connecting the public for 2 hours after verification, and after 2 hours, the network hotspot of the airport will not provide network service for connecting the mobile terminal. When an external network hotspot (such as a wifi hotspot) of an existing mobile terminal stops providing network service, the mobile terminal does not have network speed but is still connected with the external network hotspot, at this moment, a mail box has an incoming mail, and even if a chat software has information (such as WeChat), a user does not know and the mobile terminal cannot receive related information, the situation easily causes that the user cannot receive important mails or information in time, and unnecessary loss is caused, for example, a business person cannot examine and approve related mails, so that serious consequences such as project delay, customer complaint and the like are caused.

Therefore, after the mobile terminal establishes a connection with the external network hotspot, the hotspot detecting module 10 detects whether the network hotspot is valid in real time, for example, times the connection duration of the mobile terminal connected to the external network hotspot, counts the consumed traffic of the mobile terminal connected to the external network hotspot, and monitors the signal intensity and the download speed of the external network hotspot, and when the connection duration is detected to exceed the limit duration of the network hotspot, the consumed traffic is detected to exceed the limit traffic of the network hotspot, or the signal intensity and the download speed of the network hotspot are detected to be less than a preset threshold, it is determined that the network hotspot currently connected to the mobile terminal is invalid.

When detecting that the network hotspot currently connected with the mobile terminal is invalid, it indicates that the network currently connected with the mobile terminal is unstable and the mobile terminal cannot surf the internet normally, and at this time, the channel opening module 20 may open the mobile data network channel of the mobile terminal, and consume the mobile data of the operator to ensure that the mobile terminal cannot be disconnected suddenly.

Optionally, when the mobile terminal opens the mobile data network channel due to the invalidity of the connected network hotspot, the channel opening module 20 outputs a prompt message about the mobile terminal opening the mobile data network channel. Or when the mobile terminal opens the mobile data network channel due to the invalidity of the connected network hotspot, counting the flow consumed by the mobile data network channel, and when the consumed flow reaches a preset flow limit (for example, 20M), the channel opening module 20 outputs prompt information about the mobile terminal opening the mobile data network channel; the prompt message in this segment may be one or more of audio, video, picture, vibration.

In addition, the mobile data network mentioned in this embodiment represents a card data network, which includes existing mobile data networks of all standards, for example: 2G, 3G, LTE, and the like; the wireless data network provided by the network hotspot covers the current hotspot type networks, including WIFI, wlan and the like.

In this embodiment, after the mobile terminal is connected to the external network hotspot, the hotspot detecting module 10 detects whether the network hotspot is invalid in real time, and when the network hotspot is detected to be invalid, the channel opening module 20 opens the mobile data network channel of the mobile terminal, so that the mobile data network of the mobile terminal can be opened in time when the external network hotspot is invalid and abnormal, thereby preventing the mobile terminal from delaying the reception of important information and important files due to network interruption, avoiding loss and inconvenience brought to the user, and improving the internet surfing experience of the user.

Further, on the basis of the first embodiment of the network stability control apparatus of the present invention, a second embodiment of the network stability control apparatus is proposed, and referring to fig. 4, in the second embodiment, the hot spot detection module 10 includes:

the determining unit 11 is configured to determine whether the network hotspot is overtime or has an excessive traffic after the mobile terminal establishes a connection with an external network hotspot;

after the mobile terminal establishes a connection with an external network hotspot, the determining unit 11 obtains an internet access time limiting condition (i.e., a limiting duration) and an internet access traffic limiting condition (i.e., a limiting traffic value) of the external network hotspot, records and counts the internet access duration and the internet access consumed traffic of the mobile terminal connected with the external network hotspot, and compares the recorded and counted internet access duration with the limiting duration by the determining unit 11, or compares the recorded and counted internet access consumed traffic with the limiting traffic value by the determining unit 11, so as to determine whether the network hotspot is overtime or over-traffic. When the internet surfing consumption flow exceeds the limit flow, judging the network hotspot over-flow connected with the mobile terminal; and when the internet surfing duration exceeds the limit duration, judging that the network hotspot connected with the mobile terminal is overtime.

And an invalid determination unit 12, configured to determine that the network hotspot is invalid if the network hotspot is overtime or over-traffic.

When detecting that the mobile terminal is connected with the network hotspot overtime or consumes the network hotspot superflux, the invalidity determining unit 12 determines that the network hotspot is invalid, and then opens a mobile data network channel of the mobile terminal to avoid the network breaking of the mobile terminal. And if the network hotspot is not overtime and the traffic is not overtime, judging that the network hotspot is effective.

In this embodiment, after the mobile terminal is connected to the external network hotspot, the determining unit 11 determines whether the external network hotspot connected to the mobile terminal is overtime or excessive traffic according to the internet access duration or the internet access consumption traffic of the mobile terminal, so that the invalidity determining unit 12 determines whether the network hotspot is invalid, determines whether the network hotspot is invalid according to the internet access behavior parameter at the mobile terminal side corresponding to the network hotspot, and accordingly identifies whether the network hotspot is invalid according to the network hotspot limiting condition, thereby improving the validity of identifying the network hotspot invalid.

In addition, on the basis of the first embodiment of the network stability control apparatus of the present invention, the hot spot detection module 10 may also include:

the bandwidth detection unit 13 is configured to detect a network bandwidth provided by a network hotspot in real time after the mobile terminal establishes a connection with an external network hotspot;

the standby determining unit 14 is configured to determine that the network hotspot is invalid when it is detected that the network bandwidth is smaller than a first preset threshold and lasts for a first preset duration.

When detecting that the network bandwidth available to the mobile terminal is smaller than a first preset threshold, the bandwidth detection unit 13 starts timing and continues to detect the network bandwidth available to the mobile terminal; when it is detected that the network bandwidth available to the mobile terminal is less than the first preset threshold for the first preset duration (for example, 10s), it indicates that the network bandwidth has not been provided to the mobile terminal by the network hotspot broadcast, and at this time, the standby determining unit 14 determines that the network hotspot is invalid, so that the network bandwidth provided by the network hotspot is directly detected in real time, and the timeliness of identifying that the network hotspot is invalid is improved.

Further, on the basis of the first embodiment of the network stability control apparatus of the present invention, a third embodiment of the network stability control apparatus is proposed, and referring to fig. 5, in the third embodiment, the network stability control apparatus further includes:

the hotspot searching module 30 is used for searching an effective network hotspot in the scene where the mobile terminal is located in real time;

and the hotspot connection module 40 is configured to establish a network connection between the mobile terminal and the effective network hotspot when the effective network hotspot is found.

After the mobile terminal opens the mobile data network channel, the hotspot searching module 30 may continue to search other effective network hotspots in the scene where the mobile terminal is located, and the mobile terminal performs automatic verification and network performance test on each alternative network hotspot one by taking the other network hotspots as alternative network hotspots; if the mobile terminal passes through the verification process of an alternative network hotspot and tests that the alternative network hotspot has better network performance (i.e., the alternative network hotspot can provide effective network service), the hotspot connection module 40 takes the alternative network hotspot as a new effective network hotspot and establishes a connection between the mobile terminal and the network hotspot.

Optionally, after the mobile terminal connects to the new effective network hotspot, if the new effective network hotspot has no abnormal network condition within a preset test duration (where the abnormal condition refers to a poor wireless network signal, a small provided network bandwidth, etc.), the hotspot connecting module 40 closes the mobile data network channel of the mobile terminal, so as to save the mobile data traffic of the user on the premise that the network hotspot network is stable.

In this embodiment, after the mobile terminal opens the mobile data network channel, the hotspot searching module 30 searches for an effective network hotspot in the scene where the mobile terminal is located in real time, and when the effective network hotspot is searched, the hotspot connecting module 40 establishes the mobile terminal and the effective network hotspot, so that on the premise that the network of the network hotspot is stable, waste of mobile data traffic of the mobile terminal is avoided, and the internet access cost of a user is reduced.

Referring to fig. 9, in an embodiment of the present invention, the network hotspot is specifically a WIFI hotspot, and the mobile data network channel is an LTE channel.

Specifically, the terminal controls each thread to establish connection with the server through a data channel of the WIFI hotspot, and establishes a transmission link.

For example, assuming that 3 threads are allocated to a data channel of a WIFI network, 3 threads allocated to the data channel of the WIFI network are respectively connected to a server where data to be loaded is located through the data channel of the WIFI network, and send a link establishment request and establish three transmission links.

After receiving the link establishment requests sent by the threads through the respective data channels, the server establishes corresponding transmission links and transmits the data blocks corresponding to the threads to the terminal along the transmission links, so that the terminal downloads data in blocks through the transmission links, and the terminal collects and receives the data returned by the threads and combines the data.

Further, an abnormal condition is detected in the data transmission process, and when the data channel of the WIFI hotspot is detected to be invalid (for example, overtime or super-traffic), the remaining data which is not downloaded in the data downloaded through the data channel is detected, and the data channel is switched to the LTE data channel.

Referring to fig. 9, in another embodiment of the present invention, the network stability control apparatus further includes a download channel switching module, configured to detect remaining data that has not been downloaded in the data downloaded through the network hotspot, and establish a new thread in the mobile data network channel to download the remaining data.

In this embodiment, the network hotspot is specifically a WIFI hotspot, and the mobile data network channel is an LTE channel, for example, to further describe.

The mobile network is an LTE network, the corresponding data channel is an LTE channel, and the data channel corresponding to the WIFI network is a WIFI channel.

And enabling a WIFI network function by a user, and establishing network connection to form a WIFI channel. When a user clicks a download file, the terminal receives a data loading instruction, obtains the size of the download file, specifies the number of threads required by the download file, and establishes corresponding threads, wherein each thread is responsible for loading a data block.

Further, in the data transmission process, the terminal monitors the channel of the WIFI channel to process the abnormity in real time. And if the WIFI network is monitored to be overtime or super-flow, detecting the residual data which are not downloaded, establishing a new thread in the LTE channel, and starting breakpoint continuous transmission to download the residual data.

The present invention also provides a network stability control method, which is mainly applied to a mobile terminal, and in a first embodiment of the network stability control method, referring to fig. 6, the network stability control method includes:

step S10, after the mobile terminal establishes connection with the external network hotspot, detecting whether the network hotspot is invalid in real time;

Therefore, after the mobile terminal establishes connection with the external network hotspot, whether the network hotspot is valid is detected in real time, for example, the connection duration of the mobile terminal connecting the external network hotspot is timed, the consumed traffic of the mobile terminal connecting the external network hotspot is counted, the signal intensity and the downloading speed of the external network hotspot are monitored, and when the connection duration is detected to exceed the limit duration of the network hotspot, the consumed traffic is detected to exceed the limit traffic of the network hotspot, or the signal intensity and the downloading speed of the network hotspot are detected to be less than a preset threshold value, the network hotspot currently connected with the mobile terminal is determined to be invalid.

Step S20, when the network hotspot is detected to be invalid, the mobile data network channel of the mobile terminal is opened.

When the network hotspot currently connected with the mobile terminal is detected to be invalid, the network currently connected with the mobile terminal is unstable, and the mobile terminal cannot surf the internet normally, at the moment, a mobile data network channel of the mobile terminal can be opened, and mobile data of an operator is consumed to ensure that the mobile terminal cannot be disconnected suddenly.

Optionally, when the mobile terminal opens the mobile data network channel due to the invalidity of the connected network hotspot, outputting prompt information about the mobile terminal opening the mobile data network channel. Or when the mobile terminal opens the mobile data network channel due to the invalidity of the connected network hotspot, counting the flow consumed by the mobile data network channel, and when the consumed flow reaches a preset flow limit value (for example, 20M), outputting prompt information about the opening of the mobile data network channel by the mobile terminal; the prompt message in this segment may be one or more of audio, video, picture, vibration.

In the embodiment, after the mobile terminal is connected with the external network hotspot, whether the network hotspot is invalid or not is detected in real time, and when the network hotspot is detected to be invalid, the mobile data network channel of the mobile terminal is opened, so that the mobile data network of the mobile terminal can be opened in time when the external network hotspot is invalid and abnormal, the situation that the mobile terminal delays receiving of important information and important files due to network interruption is avoided, loss and inconvenience are avoided being brought to a user, and the internet surfing experience of the user is improved.

Further, on the basis of the first embodiment of the network stability control method of the present invention, a second embodiment of the network stability control method is proposed, and referring to fig. 7, in the second embodiment, step S10 includes:

step S11, after the mobile terminal establishes connection with the external network hotspot, judging whether the network hotspot is overtime or has excessive flow;

after the mobile terminal is connected with the external network hotspot, acquiring an internet access time limiting condition (namely limiting duration) and an internet access flow limiting condition (namely limiting flow value) of the external network hotspot, recording and counting the internet access duration and the internet access consumed flow of the mobile terminal connected with the external network hotspot, and comparing the recorded and counted internet access duration with the limiting duration, or comparing the recorded and counted internet access consumed flow with the limiting flow value, so as to judge whether the network hotspot is overtime or over-flow. When the internet surfing consumption flow exceeds the limit flow, judging the network hotspot over-flow connected with the mobile terminal; and when the internet surfing duration exceeds the limit duration, judging that the network hotspot connected with the mobile terminal is overtime.

Step S12, if the network hotspot is overtime or over-traffic, it is determined that the network hotspot is invalid.

When the mobile terminal is detected to be connected with the network hotspot overtime or consume the network hotspot superflux, the network hotspot is judged to be invalid, and then a mobile data network channel of the mobile terminal is opened to avoid the network breaking of the mobile terminal. And if the network hotspot is not overtime and the traffic is not overtime, judging that the network hotspot is effective.

In this embodiment, after the mobile terminal is connected to the external network hotspot, whether the external network hotspot connected to the mobile terminal is overtime or excessive traffic is determined according to the internet surfing duration or the internet surfing consumption traffic of the mobile terminal, so as to determine whether the network hotspot is invalid, and thus, whether the network hotspot is invalid is determined according to the internet surfing behavior parameter at the mobile terminal side corresponding to the network hotspot, so as to specifically identify whether the network hotspot is invalid according to the network hotspot limiting condition, and thus, the validity of identifying the network hotspot is improved.

Further, in the first embodiment of the network stability control method of the present invention, step S10 may also include:

step S13, after the mobile terminal establishes connection with the external network hotspot, detecting the network bandwidth provided by the network hotspot in real time;

step S14, when it is detected that the network bandwidth is smaller than the first preset threshold and lasts for the first preset duration, it is determined that the network hotspot is invalid.

When the network bandwidth available to the mobile terminal is detected to be smaller than a first preset threshold value, timing is started, and the network bandwidth available to the mobile terminal is continuously detected; when the fact that the network bandwidth available to the mobile terminal is smaller than the first preset threshold value for the first preset duration (for example, 10s) is detected, it is indicated that the network bandwidth is not provided for the mobile terminal in the network hotspot broadcast, and at the moment, the network hotspot is judged to be invalid, so that the network bandwidth provided by the network hotspot is directly detected in real time, and the timeliness of identifying the network hotspot invalidity is improved.

Further, on the basis of the first embodiment of the network stability control method of the present invention, a third embodiment of the network stability control method is proposed, and referring to fig. 8, in the third embodiment, after step S20, the method further includes:

step S30, searching an effective network hotspot in the scene where the mobile terminal is located in real time;

step S40, when an effective network hotspot is found, establishing a network connection between the mobile terminal and the effective network hotspot.

After the mobile terminal opens the mobile data network channel, other effective network hotspots in the scene where the mobile terminal is located can be continuously searched, the other network hotspots are used as alternative network hotspots, and the mobile terminal carries out automatic verification and network performance test on each alternative network hotspot one by one; if the mobile terminal passes through the verification process of an alternative network hotspot and tests that the alternative network hotspot has better network performance (namely the alternative network hotspot can provide effective network service), the alternative network hotspot is taken as a new effective network hotspot, and the connection between the mobile terminal and the network hotspot is established.

Optionally, after the mobile terminal connects to the new effective network hotspot, if the new effective network hotspot has no abnormal network condition within a preset test duration (where the abnormal condition refers to a poor wireless network signal, a small provided network bandwidth, etc.), the mobile data network channel of the mobile terminal is closed, so as to save the mobile data traffic of the user on the premise that the network of the network hotspot is stable.

In this embodiment, after the mobile data network channel is opened by the mobile terminal, an effective network hotspot in a scene where the mobile terminal is located is searched in real time, and when the effective network hotspot is searched, the mobile terminal and the effective network hotspot are established, so that waste of mobile data traffic of the mobile terminal can be avoided on the premise that a network of the network hotspot is stable, and the internet access cost of a user is reduced.
