Description

Method and device for transmitting network data

Technical Field

The present invention relates to the field of terminal technologies, and in particular, to a method and an apparatus for transmitting network data.

Background

With the development of terminal technology, terminals such as mobile phones and tablet computers are increasingly popularized. The terminal can generally install and run different applications to implement different functions, and in the process of implementing some functions, network data is generally required to be transmitted between the terminal and other terminals through the network so as to interact with other terminals. However, when the terminal transmits the network data, a certain data traffic is usually consumed, and further a certain cost is generated, which increases the cost of the user for using the terminal.

In the related art, the terminal-installed applications capable of transmitting network data include two types, a first type of application is capable of initiating a network request to establish a network connection and transmitting network data through the established network connection, and a second type of application is capable of transmitting network data only through an existing network connection. Since network connections with different network capabilities are usually required for transmitting different network data, when a terminal receives a network request sent by any application program in a first type of application through a built-in network connection management service, a network connection with a corresponding network capability can be established through the network connection management service based on network capability information carried by the network request, and a situation that the network connection with the network capability is successfully established is notified to each application program installed in the terminal, and then each application program can use the network connection with the network capability.

Since each application can use the network connection with the network capability after the terminal establishes the network connection with the network capability, the terminal has poor effect of transmitting network data, and it is difficult to reduce the traffic cost of the user using the terminal.

Detailed Description

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.

Fig. 1 is a flowchart of a method for transmitting network data according to an embodiment of the present invention, and referring to fig. 1, the method includes:

step 101: when the network data aiming at the first application is detected through a data interface included by the network connection management service, the network capability of the network connection required for transmitting the network data is determined according to the interface identification of the data interface, and the network capability is used for explaining the capability of the network connection for transmitting the network data.

Step 102: a network white list corresponding to the network capability is determined from a local store, wherein the network white list is used for storing application identifications of application programs capable of using the network connection with the network capability.

Step 103: and when the application identification of the first application is included in the network white list, transmitting the network data through the network connection with the network capability.

In the embodiment of the present invention, first, when network data (e.g., Multimedia information) for a first application (the first application may be any application installed in a terminal, for example, an MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service) application, an application identifier of which is UID (User Identification) 1) is detected through a data interface, a network capability (e.g., MMS) of a network connection required for transmitting the network data may be determined according to an interface identifier (e.g., net.data0) of the data interface, and then a network white list corresponding to the network capability (the network white list is used to store an identifier of an application capable of using the network connection having the network capability, for example, an application identifier capable of using the MMS capability may be stored in the network white list corresponding to the network capability), and when the network white list includes the application identifier of the first application, transmitting the network data through the network connection with the network capability (for example, transmitting multimedia information through the network connection with MMS capability, that is, transmitting multimedia information through the data interface rm.net.data0), that is, filtering the application program using the network connection with the network capability through the network white list corresponding to the network capability, so as to reduce the probability that any application program in the terminal can transmit the network data through the network connection with the network capability (for example, when only UID1 is stored in the network white list corresponding to the MMS capability, only the MMS application in the terminal can transmit multimedia information through the network connection with MMS capability), compared with the existing unfiltered network data transmission method, it is able to reduce the possibility that a plurality of application programs simultaneously transmit through the network connection with the same network capability, the effect of transmitting network data is improved, and the flow cost of the terminal is saved.

Fig. 2 is a flowchart of a method for transmitting network data according to an embodiment of the present invention, referring to fig. 2, where the method is used in a terminal, and the method includes:

step 201: when the terminal receives a network request through the network connection management service and the network request carries network capacity information, determining a sharing mode of network connection with network capacity corresponding to the network capacity information, wherein the sharing mode is used for indicating an application program capable of sharing the network connection with the network capacity.

Since the terminal generally needs to transmit network data for a certain application program through a network connection with a certain network capability during the process of running the application program, including receiving the network data or sending the network data, if the network data for other application programs is also transmitted through the network connection with the certain network capability during the process, that is, other application programs can also use the network connection with the certain network capability, the terminal may have a poor effect of transmitting the network data for the application program, and the cost of the user for using the terminal may be increased. Therefore, when a network request is received, based on the network capability information carried by the network request, a sharing mode of a network connection having a network capability corresponding to the network capability information can be determined, so that based on the sharing mode, an application program capable of using the network connection having the network capability can be determined.

The terminal can be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a smart watch, or other terminals, and certainly, in practical applications, the terminal can also be other terminals capable of installing an application program and establishing network connection so as to transmit network data, and the application program installed in the terminal can be an application program that needs to use network connection.

It should be noted that the network connection management Service may be a Service built in the terminal, for example, when the terminal is a terminal installed with an android operating system, the network connection management Service may include Connectivity Service.

It should be further noted that the network request may be issued by any application installed in the terminal and having a capability of initiating a network request, and the network request may carry network capability information, so as to request to establish a network connection having a network capability corresponding to the network capability information. Of course, in practical applications, the network request may also carry other information, for example, the network request may also carry an application identifier of a second application that sends the network request, sharing mode information for describing a sharing mode of a network connection with the network capability, and the like.

Wherein the second application may be any application installed in the terminal. The application identifier is used to uniquely identify an application, and may be a UID of the application or a Package Name of the application. Of course, in practical applications, the application identifier may also be other identifiers capable of uniquely identifying an application program.

It should be noted that the network capability information is used to describe the network capability of the network connection requested to be established, and the network capability is used to describe the capability of the network connection to transmit network data. For example, when the network CAPABILITY information is network capabilities, net _ CAPABILITY _ MMS, it indicates that the network CAPABILITY of the network connection requested to be established is MMS. Of course, in practical applications, The network capability information may also be in other formats, and The network capability requested by The network capability information to establish a network connection may be other network capabilities, such as Internet (Internet), SUPL (Secure user plane Location, Secure user plane Location service), FOTA (Firmware Over-The-Air, Over-The-Air software upgrade), and other network capabilities.

Further, since the required sharing mode is generally different when network data is transmitted through network connections having different network capabilities, for example, when a certain application having a positioning function in the terminal transmits network data through a SUPL-capable network connection to position the terminal, only the network data for the application having a positioning function may be allowed to be transmitted. Therefore, in order to improve the effect of transmitting network data and reduce the cost of the user using the terminal, the terminal can determine the sharing mode of the network connection having the network capability.

Wherein the sharing mode may include one or more of a private mode, a group mode, and a global mode. The group mode is used for indicating that the application programs belonging to the same application group with the second application can share the network connection with the network capability, the private mode is used for indicating that the second application can use the network connection with the network capability but other application programs cannot share the network connection with the network capability, and the global mode is used for indicating that all the application programs installed can share the network connection with the network capability. As can be seen from the foregoing, the second application is an application program that sends the network request, and therefore, for the group mode, all application programs belonging to the same application group as the second application can share the network connection with the network capability, that is, only application programs belonging to the same application group as the application program that sends the request can share the network connection with the network capability. For private mode, the second application is able to use the network connection with the network capability but other applications cannot share the network connection with the network capability, i.e., it means that only the application sending the network request is able to use the network connection with the network capability.

It should be noted that the sharing mode may be represented by a character or a character string, for example, the private mode may be represented by a numeral 0, the group mode may be represented by a numeral 1, and the global mode may be represented by a numeral 2. Of course, in practical applications, the sharing mode may also be identified by other forms or kinds of characters or character strings.

The terminal can determine the sharing mode of the network connection with the network capability through at least four implementation modes as follows:

in a first implementation manner, in order to reduce interaction with a user and improve efficiency of determining a sharing mode, a preset sharing mode is determined as a sharing mode of a network connection having the network capability.

The terminal may set a sharing mode for each network capability in advance, and then, the terminal may directly determine the sharing mode set in advance for the network capability as the sharing mode of the network connection with the network capability.

For example, the network capability corresponding to the network capability information carried by the network request is SUPL, and the sharing mode preset by the network capability SUPL is the private mode, so that the terminal can determine the sharing mode of the SUPL-capable network connection as the private mode.

In order to improve the accuracy of determining the sharing mode and further improve the effect of transmitting the network data, the sharing mode of the network connection with the network capability may be determined by the user each time a network request is received, that is, a plurality of sharing modes are displayed, and when a sharing mode selection command is received based on the plurality of sharing modes, the sharing mode selected by the sharing mode selection command is determined as the sharing mode of the network connection with the network capability.

The terminal may display the plurality of sharing modes in a window or pop-up window manner, and of course, in practical applications, the terminal may also display the plurality of sharing modes in other manners.

It should be noted that the sharing mode selection instruction is used to select a sharing mode, and the sharing mode selection instruction may be triggered by a user through executing a preset operation, where the preset operation may be a click operation, a touch operation, a key operation, and the like.

In order to reduce interaction with a user and improve efficiency of determining a sharing mode, when the network request carries sharing mode information, a sharing mode of a network connection with the network capability is determined based on the sharing mode information.

The sharing mode information is used for explaining the sharing mode of the network connection with the network capability requested to be established by the network request. For example, when the sharing mode information is "sharing mode: 0 ", then it is determined that the sharing mode of the network connection with the network capability requested to be established by the network request is the private mode.

In order to improve the accuracy of determining the sharing mode and further improve the effect of transmitting the network data, the fourth implementation manner may determine the sharing mode of the network connection with the network capability based on the second application sending the network request.

Wherein, for each application installed by the terminal, the terminal may preset a sharing mode of a network connection that the application can request to establish, and thus, when the terminal receives the network request, the sharing mode of the network connection having the network capability may be determined based on the second application that transmitted the network request. That is, the sharing mode of the network connection that the same application can request to establish is the same.

For example, the terminal receives a network request sent by APP (Application) 1 through the network connection management service, and the sharing mode of the network connection that APP1 preset by the terminal for APP1 can request to establish is a group mode, so the terminal determines the sharing mode of the network connection with the network capability that APP1 currently requests to establish as the group mode.

In addition, since the global mode is used to indicate that all installed applications can share the network connection with the network capability, when the sharing mode is the global mode, the terminal may not perform the operations described in the following

step

202 and 203, but directly determine whether the network connection with the network capability is established currently, if not, establish the network connection with the network capability, and if so, delete the network white list corresponding to the network data.

The terminal may determine whether the currently established network connection includes a network connection with the network capability through the network connection management service, determine that the currently established network connection with the network capability is established if the currently established network connection includes the network connection with the network capability, and determine that the currently established network connection with the network capability is not established if the currently established network connection does not include the network connection with the network capability.

For example, when the terminal is a terminal installed with an android operating system, the terminal may determine, through ConnectivityService, whether a network connection with the network capability is currently established, and if not, establish a network connection with the network capability through a network factory.

In addition, when the terminal establishes the network connection with the network capability, a data interface can be determined for the network connection with the network capability, so that network data can be transmitted through the data interface later.

The terminal may select a data interface corresponding to the network capability from a plurality of preset data interfaces (for example, the plurality of data interfaces may be preset data interfaces of a relevant technician, and each data interface corresponds to one network capability).

It should be noted that, when the plurality of data interfaces are preset, the terminal may determine the network capability corresponding to each data interface, and store the interface identifier of the data interface and the network capability into the correspondence between the interface identifier and the network capability. Then, the terminal may determine a data interface corresponding to the network capability from the correspondence between the interface identifier and the network capability based on the network capability.

Of course, in practical applications, when the terminal establishes the network connection with the network capability, it may also determine a data port in other manners (for example, the terminal may also generate a new data port for the network capability) and store the interface identifier of the determined data interface and the network capability in the corresponding relationship between the interface identifier and the network capability.

Step 202: the terminal determines at least one application identity based on the sharing mode.

It should be noted that the network white list is used to store the application identifications of the applications that are currently able to use the network connection with the network capability.

Since different sharing modes indicate different applications that can use the network capable network connection, it is necessary to determine at least one application identity based on the sharing mode to ensure that the at least one application identity can use the network capable network connection.

Wherein, since the sharing mode may include one or more of a private mode, a group mode and a global mode, when the sharing mode is the private mode, the application identifier of the second application is determined, and the application identifier of the second application is determined as the at least one application identifier. When the sharing mode is the global mode, the application identification of each application program which is installed currently is determined as the at least one application identification. When the sharing mode is a group mode, determining an application identifier of a second application, determining an application group corresponding to the network capability information and including the application identifier of the second application from the stored correspondence between the network capability and the application group, and determining the application identifier included in the application group as the at least one application identifier.

For example, the terminal receives a network request sent by the APP1 through the network connection management service, the network capability corresponding to the network information carried by the network request is MMS, and the terminal determines that the sharing mode of the network connection 1 requested to be established by the APP1 is a group mode, where the network connection 1 is a network connection with MMS capability. Therefore, the terminal determines the application groups corresponding to the MMS to be group 1 and group 2 from the stored correspondence between the network capabilities and the application groups as described in table 1 below based on the application identifier UID1 of the APP1, where the application identifiers included in group 1 are UID1, UID2, UID3, and the application identifiers included in group 2 are UID4, UID5, UID 6. Since the UID1 is included in group 1, the terminal determines the UID1, UID2, and UID3 included in group 1 as the at least one application identifier.

TABLE 1

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, only the correspondence between the network capabilities and the application groups described in table 1 is taken as an example for description, and table 1 does not limit the embodiment of the present invention.

Further, the terminal may obtain application identifiers of all currently installed application programs before determining an application group that corresponds to the network capability information and includes an application identifier of the second application from the stored correspondence between the network capability and the application group, determine at least one application group based on the network capability and the obtained application identifiers, where each application group includes at least one application identifier of an application program that can issue the network request and request a network connection with the network capability, and store the network capability and the at least one application group in the correspondence between the network capability and the application group.

For example, the application identifiers acquired by the terminal are UID1, UID2, UID3, UID4, UID5, UID6, UID7, UID8, UID9, UID10, UID11 and UID12, where UID n is the application identifier of APP n. If APP1 and APP4 have the capability of sending network requests to request establishment of network connection 1, APP 2, APP 3, APP4, APP 5, and APP 6 need to use network connection 1 to transmit network data, so the terminal can determine 2 application groups corresponding to network capability MMS to be group 1 and group 2, respectively, based on MMS and the obtained 12 application identifiers, where group 1 includes UID1, UID2, and UID3, and group 2 includes UID4, UID5, and UID 6.

The terminal can display grouping prompt information, the grouping prompt information comprises the acquired application identifiers, the grouping prompt information is used for prompting a user to group the acquired application identifiers, and when a grouping instruction is received based on the displayed grouping prompt information, the at least one application group is determined based on the grouping instruction.

It should be noted that the terminal may display the network configuration prompt information in a window or pop-up window manner, and certainly, in practical applications, the terminal may display the network configuration prompt information in other manners.

It should be further noted that the grouping instruction is used to group the obtained application identifiers, and the grouping instruction may be triggered by a user by performing a preset operation.

For each application program in all application programs installed by the terminal, before determining at least one application group based on the network capability and the obtained application identifier (for example, when the application program is installed or runs for the first time), the terminal may display network configuration prompt information to prompt a user whether the application program needs to use a network connection, if the application program needs to use a network connection, the network capability of the network connection required by the application program, whether a network request can be initiated, if the network request can be initiated, and information such as the network capability corresponding to the network capability information carried by the initiated network request. Certainly, in practical application, the terminal may also prompt the user through other manners whether the application needs to use network connection, if the application needs to use network connection, the network capability of the network connection required by the application, whether the network request can be initiated, and if the network request can be initiated, the network capability corresponding to the network capability information carried by the initiated network request, and other information.

Further, in order to improve the accuracy of acquiring the at least one application identifier, each application program may only exist in one group of the at least one group, that is, any two groups in the at least one group may not include the application identifier of the same application program.

Further, since all applications installed in the terminal generally include application programs that do not require network connection using the network capability, in order to improve flexibility in determining the at least one application group, the number of application identifiers included in the at least one group may be less than or equal to the number of application identifiers acquired by the terminal, that is, the at least one group may not include an application identifier of an application installed in the terminal.

In addition, for a network connection with any network capability that can be established by the terminal, the terminal may determine, based on the network capability and the obtained application identifier, at least one application group corresponding to the network capability information.

Step 203: whether the network connection with the network capability is established currently is judged based on the network capability information, if the network connection with the network capability is not established currently, the network connection with the network capability is established based on the network capability information, a network white list corresponding to the network capability is generated based on the at least one application identifier, and if the network connection with the network capability is established currently, the at least one application identifier is added into the network white list corresponding to the network capability.

When receiving the network request of the second application, the terminal may or may not currently establish the network connection with the network capability, and therefore, in order to reduce the probability of repeatedly establishing the network connection with the same network capability and thus reduce the waste of system resources of the terminal, the terminal may determine whether the network connection with the network capability is currently established.

The terminal may create a network white list corresponding to the network capability, and add the at least one application identifier to the network white list, so as to generate the network white list corresponding to the network capability based on the at least one application identifier.

It should be noted that, if a network connection with the network capability is currently established, it indicates that a network white list corresponding to the network capability is currently created, and therefore, the at least one application identifier may be directly added to the currently existing network white list corresponding to the network capability. Of course, in order to ensure the accuracy of adding the at least one application identifier to the white list corresponding to the network capability, so as to improve the effect of transmitting the network data, before the terminal adds the at least one application identifier to the existing network white list corresponding to the network capability, it may be determined whether a network white list corresponding to the network capability is created currently, if so, the at least one application identifier is added to the existing network white list corresponding to the network capability, and if not, the network white list corresponding to the network capability is created, and the at least one application identifier is added to the network white list.

Further, if the number of the application identifiers included in the network white list corresponding to the network capability is the same as the number of the application programs currently installed by the terminal, that is, the network white list corresponding to the network capability includes the application identifier of each application program currently installed by the terminal, the terminal may delete the network white list corresponding to the network capability.

Further, after step 203, the terminal may further notify that the network connection with the network capability of the application program corresponding to the at least one application identifier has been established based on the at least one application identifier, so as to ensure that the network connection with the network capability of the application program corresponding to the at least one application identifier can be used by the application program corresponding to the at least one application identifier.

The terminal may notify the application program corresponding to the at least one application identifier in a broadcast manner, and of course, may also send a notification message to each application program corresponding to the at least one application identifier, respectively, so as to notify the application program corresponding to the at least one application identifier.

Through the

above step

201 and 203, the terminal receives the network request of the second application, determines the network capability of the network connection requested to be established by the second application and the sharing mode of the network connection with the network capability, and determines the network white list corresponding to the network capability based on the sharing mode, so that in the

next step

204 and 205, the application program using the network connection with the network capability can be filtered based on the network white list corresponding to the network capability, thereby reducing the effect that multiple application programs simultaneously use the network connection with the same network capability for transmission, improving the effect of transmitting network data, and saving the traffic cost of the terminal.

Step 204: when the terminal detects the network data aiming at the first application through a data interface included in the network connection management service, the network capacity of the network connection required for transmitting the network data is determined according to the interface identification of the data interface.

The terminal may determine the network capability of the network connection required for transmitting the network data from the stored correspondence between the interface identifier and the network capability according to the interface identifier of the data interface.

It should be noted that the first application and the second application described above may be the same application program or different application programs.

Step 205: when the network capability of the network connection required for transmitting the network data is the network capability, the terminal determines a network white list corresponding to the network capability from a local storage, and when the network white list comprises the application identifier of the first application, the network data is transmitted through the network connection with the network capability.

For example, when the terminal is a terminal installed with an android operating system, the terminal may add a corresponding filtering rule in a Filter Chain included in an Iptables (firewall), so as to ensure that only an application program corresponding to an application identifier included in the network white list in the terminal can use a network connection with the network capability.

When the network white list corresponding to the network capability only includes the application identifier of one application program, the sharing mode of the network connection with the network capability may be a private mode, and the first application and the second application are the same application program, that is, only the application program requesting to establish the network connection with the network capability can use the network connection with the network capability. If the white list of the network corresponding to the network capability only includes the application identifier of more than one application program, when the second application initiates the network request, the sharing mode of the network connection with the network capability determined by the terminal may include three cases: in the first case, the sharing mode of the network connection with the network capability is the private mode, and the more than one application programs all send the network request to establish the network connection with the network capability; in the second case, the sharing mode of the network connection with the network capability is a group mode, and the at least one application program may be the same application program or an application program in the same group, that is, after an application program in the same application group requests to establish the network connection with the network capability, other application programs in the application group may all share the network connection with the network capability; in a third case, the sharing mode of the network connection with the network capability is a global mode, and the at least one application may be any application currently installed in the terminal, that is, each application currently installed in the terminal may use the network connection with the network capability as long as any application in the terminal sends the network request.

For example, the application identifications of the application programs currently installed by the terminal are UID1, UID2, UID3, UID4, UID5, UID6, UID7, UID8, UID9, UID10, UID11, and UID 12. If the network white list corresponding to the network capability MMS includes UID1 and UID4, it may be that both APP1 and APP4 send a network request requesting to establish the network connection 1, and when the terminal receives the network request sent by APP1 and APP4 through the network connection management service, both determine that the sharing mode of both the network connection 1 is the private mode. If the network white list corresponding to the network capability MMS includes UID1, UID2, UID3, UID4, it may be that both APP1 and APP4 have sent the network request, and when the terminal receives the network request sent by APP1 through the network connection management service, it determines that the sharing mode of network connection 1 is the group mode, so that APP1, APP 2, and APP 3 can use network connection 1, and when the terminal receives the network request sent by APP4 through the network connection management service, it determines that the sharing mode of network connection 1 is the private mode, that is, only APP4 can use network connection 1 in the group where APP4 is located. If the network white list corresponding to the network capability MMS includes UID1, UID2, UID3, UID4, UID5 and UID6, it may be that both APP1 and APP4 have sent the network request, and when the terminal receives the network requests sent by APP1 and APP4 through the network connection management service, both determine that the sharing mode of the network connection 1 is the group mode. If the network white list corresponding to the network capability MMS includes UID1, UID2, UID3, UID4, UID5, UID6, UID7, UID8, UID9, UID10, UID11 and UID12, it may be that APP1 or APP4 sends the network request, and when the terminal receives the network request sent by APP1 or APP4 through the network connection management service, it determines that the sharing mode of network connection 1 is the global mode.

It should be noted that, when the terminal cannot determine the network white list corresponding to the network capability, that is, when the network white list corresponding to the network capability is not created currently, the terminal may also transmit the network data directly through the network connection having the network capability, that is, the application program using the network connection having the network capability is not filtered.

Further, for cost saving or other reasons, the terminal may also disconnect the network connection with the network capability, for example, when detecting that the idle duration of the network connection with the network capability is greater than the preset duration, the terminal may disconnect the network connection with the network capability.

For example, when the terminal is a terminal installed with an android operating system, the terminal may disconnect a network connection with the network capability through an ibider.

In the embodiment of the present invention, first, when network data for a first application is detected through a data interface, a network capability of a network connection required for transmitting the network data is determined according to an interface identifier of the data interface, then, a network white list corresponding to the network capability is determined, and when an application identifier of the first application is included in the network white list, the network data is transmitted through the network connection having the network capability, that is, an application program using the network connection having the network capability can be filtered through the network white list corresponding to the network capability, so that a probability that any application program in the terminal can transmit the network data through the network connection having the network capability is reduced, compared with an existing unfiltered network data transmission method, a plurality of application programs can be transmitted through the network connection having the same network capability at the same time, the effect of transmitting network data is improved, and the flow cost of the terminal is saved. Secondly, when the terminal receives a request for network connection with the network capability, the terminal can determine a sharing mode of the network connection with the network capability, determine at least one application identifier based on the sharing mode, and add the at least one application identifier to a network white list corresponding to the network capability. In addition, when the sharing mode is a private mode, the terminal can only allow the application program sending the network request to use the network connection with the network capability, and when the sharing mode is a group mode, the terminal can only allow the application program in the same application group as the application program sending the network request to use the network connection with the network capability, so that the probability that any application program in the terminal can use the network connection with the network capability is reduced, and the traffic cost for using the terminal is further reduced.

Alternatively, the touch sensitive surface 431 may comprise both a touch detection device and a touch controller.

Although the wireless communication unit 470 is shown in the drawing, it is understood that it does not belong to the essential constitution of the apparatus 400 and may be omitted entirely as needed within the scope not changing the essence of the invention.

The processor 480 is the control center of the device 400, connects various parts of the entire mobile phone using various interfaces and lines, and performs various functions of the device 400 and processes data by operating or executing software programs and/or modules stored in the memory 420 and calling data stored in the memory 420, thereby performing overall monitoring of the mobile phone.
