All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

The mobile terminal in the embodiment of the invention refers to a computer device used in moving, and broadly includes a mobile phone, a notebook, a tablet computer, a POS machine, a vehicle-mounted computer, and the like.

Firewall: the system is an information security protection system, and allows or limits the passing of transmitted data according to specific rules.

An application server: refers to a program that exposes business logic to clients through various protocols. It provides access to business logic for use by client applications.

A base station: that is, a public mobile communication base station, is a form of a radio station, which refers to a radio transceiver station that performs information transfer with a mobile phone terminal through a mobile communication switching center in a certain radio coverage area.

Referring to fig. 1, a schematic composition diagram of a mobile terminal according to a first embodiment of the present invention is shown, in which the mobile terminal includes:

the information transmission module 100 is configured to receive operation mode indication information sent by the base station according to the feature information of the started application and the current network bandwidth.

The characteristic information is service information of the started application or network characteristic information of the started application during operation.

The service information can carry the type identification of the application, the type of the application can be divided into a local application and a Web application, and the Web application needs to communicate with a remote application server and realize the function of the application.

Common local applications include address book and short message, and Web applications include instant messaging applications, internet applications, and network game applications.

And the network characteristic information of the started application may include the traffic, delay and the like of the network transmission.

After the base station acquires the information, the current most suitable operation mode of the mobile terminal can be comprehensively considered by combining the bandwidth of the current network.

A mode switching module 200, configured to switch an operation mode of the mobile terminal to the operation mode indicated in the operation mode indication information.

The operation mode comprises a virtual desktop mode and a traditional mode.

In a virtual desktop mode, running the started application by a virtual machine in the base station or a virtual machine in a virtual machine server; in a legacy mode, running the launched application by the mobile terminal.

A desktop starting module 400, configured to start a virtual desktop to check a situation that the started application runs on a virtual machine after the connection management module establishes a remote desktop connection with the virtual machine server or with the base station.

Because the flow is small, the method is suitable for the traditional local running mode and can effectively save the flow compared with a virtual desktop mode; and the operation type application with more complex calculation or the storage type application with larger transmission data volume is preferably realized by using a virtual desktop mode, because the strong calculation capability and storage capability of the server-side host can be effectively utilized to reduce the operation and storage pressure of the terminal.

The terminal in the embodiment of the invention can adopt lower configuration, and supports a traditional mode of local running of the application and a virtual desktop mode of running the application on a remote host in a virtual desktop mode. Meanwhile, the mobile terminal supports interaction with the network side base station equipment and judges the optimal application running mode according to the service type of the application and the current network condition, so that the application flow consumption is effectively reduced, and the user experience is improved.

Because the mobile terminal supports the application to run on the virtual machine of the base station or the virtual machine of the virtual machine server in the virtual desktop mode, the terminal computing task is transferred to the base station or the virtual machine server to be executed by adopting the virtual desktop mode to run for the application with complex business logic and intensive computation, and the computing resource at the base station is fully utilized, so that the mobile terminal does not need to be configured with strong computing processing capacity.

In the embodiment of the invention, the mobile terminal combines two running modes of a traditional mode and a virtual desktop mode, namely, the application can run locally in the traditional mode and can run in a remote virtual machine in the virtual desktop mode.

According to research, different services consume inconsistent flow in the using process according to the service characteristics, for example, the data flow of the audio and video services is obviously larger than that of the instant message services; in addition, the difference between the data traffic consumed by the same service in the virtual desktop mode and the data traffic consumed by the same service in the traditional mode is larger, for example, the same service is an instant messaging service, and the data traffic consumed by the service in the virtual desktop mode is several times of the data traffic consumed in the traditional mode.

In fact, different traffic types are suitable for operation in different modes. The mobile terminal provided by the invention can judge the optimal operation mode of the application according to the service characteristics by interacting with the network side equipment, and realizes automatic switching between the traditional mode and the virtual desktop mode, so that the energy consumption of the mobile terminal and the air interface flow consumption are balanced, and the air interface transmission flow can be effectively saved while the user experience is not lost.
