Detailed Description
Reference will now be made in detail to the exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, like numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The implementations described in the exemplary embodiments below are not intended to represent all implementations consistent with the present disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with certain aspects of the present disclosure, as detailed in the appended claims.
The technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the disclosure relates to a terminal, which can be a mobile phone, a tablet personal computer, an intelligent watch and the like, and is provided with a plurality of applied devices. In the related art, after a user uses an APP, if the user does not quit completely, the APP can continue to run in the background and generate data traffic in the running process, so that the APP continues to consume a traffic packet of the user under the condition that the user is not used, communication cost of the user is increased, and user experience is low. In the technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the disclosure, when the user starts the first application, it is indicated that the first application or the application similar to the application scene of the first application is used by the current user, so that the terminal can limit data traffic generated by other applications different from the application scene of the first application, avoid traffic loss caused by automatic operation of the application under the condition that the user is not used, and improve user experience.
Fig. 1a is a flowchart illustrating a flow control method applied to a terminal according to an exemplary embodiment. As shown in fig. 1a, the method comprises the following steps 101 to 102:
in step 101, when a first application is started, a first application scenario corresponding to the first application is obtained according to a corresponding relationship between the application scenario and the application.
Illustratively, the first application may be any one of a plurality of applications installed by the terminal. During initialization, the terminal may preset a corresponding relationship between application scenes and applications, where the corresponding relationship describes one or more applications corresponding to each application scene, and the applications corresponding to different application scenes are different.
When the terminal detects that the first application is opened, the terminal indicates that the first application is currently used by the user, the possibility of continuously using the application similar to the application scene of the first application is high, and the possibility of using the applications corresponding to other application scenes is low. At this time, the terminal may obtain the first application scene corresponding to the first application according to the corresponding relationship between the application scene and the application, and then obtain the applications corresponding to the other application scenes except the first application scene according to the corresponding relationship between the application scene and the application.
In step 102, an application corresponding to the other application scenario except the first application scenario in the correspondence between the application scenario and the application is set as a traffic limiting mode, where the traffic limiting mode is a mode in which a data traffic generated by the application is limited to be less than or equal to a preset threshold.
For example, in order to avoid traffic loss caused by the application with a low possibility of being used by the user running in the background, the terminal may set the application corresponding to the application scenario other than the first application scenario to the traffic-limited mode, that is, the data traffic that can be generated by the application set to the traffic-limited mode is less than or equal to the preset threshold, so that the data traffic generated by the application with a low possibility of being used by the user is effectively controlled.
Optionally, the terminal may be provided with a flow limiting list, and defaults that an upper limit of the data flow generated by the application located in the list is a preset threshold, and if the data flow generated by the application in the list exceeds the preset threshold, the application is prohibited from continuously generating the data flow. And when the terminal acquires applications corresponding to other application scenes except the first application scene, setting the applications in the flow limiting list. The terminal can start to record the data traffic generated by each application in the restricted traffic list, and ensure that the data traffic generated by each application in the restricted traffic list does not exceed a preset threshold.
In the technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the disclosure, when the user starts the first application, it is indicated that the first application or the application similar to the application scene of the first application is used by the current user, so that the terminal can limit data traffic generated by other applications different from the application scene of the first application, avoid traffic loss caused by automatic operation of the application under the condition that the user is not used, and improve user experience.
In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 1b, the method further comprises steps 103 and 104:
in step 103, a plurality of applications corresponding to the first application scenario are obtained according to the correspondence between the application scenarios and the applications.
In step 104, the plurality of applications are set to a traffic open mode, which is a mode that allows the applications to generate data traffic.
For example, in order to facilitate a user to freely use a plurality of applications corresponding to a first application scenario, the terminal may first obtain the plurality of applications corresponding to the first application scenario according to a correspondence between the application scenarios and the applications, and then set all the plurality of applications to a traffic open mode. The application set to the traffic open mode can generate data traffic according to the user needs, and the terminal does not carry out any limitation.
Optionally, the terminal may be provided with a traffic open list, and default that there is no upper limit to the data traffic generated by the application located in the traffic open list. After the terminal acquires the plurality of applications corresponding to the first application scenario, the plurality of applications may be set in the traffic open list, and the terminal may monitor the data traffic of each application in the traffic open list, so as to ensure that each application in the traffic open list can be normally used.
In the technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the disclosure, when the user starts the first application, it is indicated that the first application or the application similar to the application scene of the first application is used by the current user, so that the terminal can allow the application similar to the application scene of the first application to generate data traffic, the user can switch between different applications similar to the application scene, and the user experience is improved.
In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 1c, in step 102, setting applications corresponding to application scenarios other than the first application scenario in the correspondence relationship between the application scenarios and the applications to the traffic-restricted mode may be implemented by step 1021:
in step 1021, the data traffic of the applications corresponding to the other application scenes except the first application scene in the corresponding relationship between the application scenes and the applications is prohibited from being generated.
For example, if the traffic packet subscribed by the user is small, in order to ensure normal communication of the user, the terminal may prohibit applications corresponding to other application scenarios except the first application scenario from generating data traffic. Optionally, the terminal may be provided with a prohibited traffic list, and defaults that the application located in the prohibited traffic list does not generate data traffic, or that the upper limit of the data traffic generated by the application in the prohibited traffic list is 0. When the terminal acquires applications corresponding to other application scenes except the first application scene, the applications are set in the flow prohibition list, and the terminal can prohibit each application in the flow prohibition list from generating data flow.
In practical application, the terminal can also set a sleep application scene, the sleep application scene corresponds to all applications installed in the terminal, and when a user selects to start the sleep application scene, the terminal forbids all applications from generating data traffic by default.
The above embodiments may also be applied to the solution shown in fig. 1 b.
In the technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the disclosure, the terminal can prohibit the application which is not used by the user currently, or the application which is not used in a short time generates data traffic, so that the traffic loss caused by the automatic running of the application under the condition that the user is not used is avoided, and the user experience is improved.
In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 1d, the method further comprises steps 105 and 106:
in step 105, a type of each of the plurality of applications is obtained.
In step 106, a corresponding relationship between the application scenario and the application is established according to the type of each application in the plurality of applications.
Illustratively, a plurality of applications are installed in the terminal, and the plurality of applications may be classified into different types. For example, suppose the shopping applications installed in the terminal are the Jingdong, Taobao, Wei Hui and the millet mall; the camera application includes beauty camera and beautiful picture; the video application comprises love art, Youkou and fox searching video; reading applications include palm reading, today's first item and microblog. According to different application types, a corresponding relation between an application scene and an application can be established, and the application corresponding to the shopping application scene in the corresponding relation is Jingdong, Taobao, Wei-Hui and millet mall; the applications corresponding to the camera application scene are a beauty camera and a beauty figure show; the application corresponding to the video application scene is love art, soul and fox searching video; the applications corresponding to the reading application scene are palm reading, today's first item and microblog.
The above embodiments may also be applied to the solutions shown in fig. 1b and 1 c.
In the technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the disclosure, the terminal can establish the corresponding relationship between the application scenes and the applications according to the types of the applications, so that the accuracy of obtaining the applications corresponding to the application scenes is improved, and meanwhile, the flexibility of the corresponding relationship between the application scenes and the applications is also improved.
In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 1e, in step 102, setting the application corresponding to the application scenario other than the first application scenario in the correspondence relationship between the application scenarios and the applications as the traffic limiting mode may be implemented through steps 1022 to 1024:
in step 1022, a traffic restriction mode corresponding to a second application scenario is obtained according to the corresponding relationship between the application scenario and the traffic restriction mode, where the second application scenario is any one of the other multiple application scenarios except the first application scenario in the corresponding relationship between the application scenario and the application.
In step 1023, a plurality of applications corresponding to the second application scene are obtained according to the correspondence between the application scenes and the applications.
In step 1024, the plurality of applications are set to the restricted traffic mode corresponding to the second application scenario.
For example, the terminal may set different traffic limiting modes for different application scenarios, that is, the upper limits of data traffic that can be generated by applications included in different application scenarios are different, so that flexibility of controlling the data traffic by the terminal is improved.
For example, the correspondence between the application scenario and the application established by the terminal includes five application scenarios, which are instant messaging application scenarios, respectively, and the applications corresponding to the instant messaging application scenario are WeChat and QQ; a shopping application scene, wherein the corresponding application of the shopping application scene is Jingdong, Taobao, Wei-Hui and Setaria mall; the camera application scene corresponds to applications of a beauty camera and a beauty show; the video application scene is corresponding to the application of the love art, the soul and the fox searching videos; reading an application scene, wherein the application corresponding to the reading application scene is a palm reading, a today's headline and a microblog.
Assuming that the first application currently used by the terminal is the microblog, the terminal can set all applications corresponding to the reading application scene to be in a traffic open mode, and set applications corresponding to other instant messaging application scenes, shopping application scenes, camera application scenes and video application scenes to be in a traffic limited mode. However, if the upper limit set for the data traffic generated by the application corresponding to the instant messaging application scenario is low, a situation that the user cannot receive the emergency information in time may occur, and if the upper limit set for the data traffic generated by the application corresponding to the video application scenario is high, a situation that the traffic loss is large may occur. Therefore, the terminal can set different flow limiting modes for different application scenes, different preset thresholds set for the different flow limiting modes are different, and the corresponding relation between the application scenes and the flow limiting modes is established according to the different application scenes and the different flow limiting modes.
When setting the traffic limiting mode for different applications, the terminal may first obtain the traffic limiting mode corresponding to each application scenario except the first application scenario according to the correspondence between the application scenario and the traffic limiting mode, and then set the application corresponding to each application scenario as the traffic limiting mode corresponding to each application scenario. For example, according to the correspondence between the application scenario and the traffic limiting mode, it can be known that the traffic limiting mode corresponding to the instant messaging application scenario is the first traffic limiting mode; the flow limiting mode corresponding to the video application scene is a second flow limiting mode; the flow limiting mode corresponding to the shopping application scene and the camera application scene is a third flow limiting mode; the preset threshold value set by the first flow limiting mode is larger than the preset threshold value set by the third flow limiting mode, and the preset threshold value set by the third flow limiting mode is larger than the preset threshold value set by the second flow limiting mode.
According to the corresponding relation, the terminal can set the application corresponding to the instant messaging application scene except the reading application scene as a first flow limiting mode, set the application corresponding to the video application scene as a second flow limiting mode, and set the applications corresponding to the shopping application scene and the camera application scene as a third flow limiting mode.
The above embodiments may also be applied to the solutions shown in fig. 1b, fig. 1c and fig. 1 c.
According to the technical scheme, the applications corresponding to the application scenes with different priorities are set to be different flow limiting modes, the preset threshold values corresponding to the different flow limiting modes are different, a user can flexibly set the upper limit of the data flow generated by the different applications according to needs, the flexibility of user setting is improved, and further the user experience is improved.
The implementation is described in detail below by way of several embodiments.
