Description

Network switching method, device, storage medium and terminal

Technical Field

Background

2G (the 2Generation mobile communication technology, second Generation mobile communication technology specification), takes digital voice transmission technology as the core. Generally defined as the inability to directly transfer information such as e-mail, software, etc.; only has the technical specification of communication of the mobile phone of conversation and some transmission such as time, date and the like. However, short messaging can be implemented in some of its specifications.

4G (the 4Generation Mobile communication technology, fourth Generation Mobile communication standard), which includes two systems, TD-LTE (Time Division Long Term Evolution) and FDD-LTE (Frequency Division duplex Long Term Evolution), LTE is strictly speaking only 3.9G, and although advertised as a 4G wireless standard, it is not actually recognized by 3GPP as the next Generation wireless communication standard IMT-Advanced (International Mobile Telecommunications-Advanced) described by the International Telecommunications union, and thus it has not yet reached the 4G standard in a strict sense. Only the LTE Advanced (Long Term Evolution-Advanced, which is a subsequent Evolution of LTE technology) of the upgraded version meets the requirements of the international telecommunication union for 4G.

At present, mobile terminals support more and more 4G, but the mobile terminals still support 2G because the mobile network 4G is not covered fully, so that mobile terminal users can still make calls and send short messages in some remote places to meet the most basic communication.

In the prior art, although the user greatly improves the network speed because of the 4G network and the mobile terminal has richer functions, the time that the user actually uses the mobile terminal is always less than the time that the mobile terminal is not used, so that the power consumption of the mobile terminal is higher when the mobile terminal works in the 4G network for a long time.

Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, and not all of the embodiments. 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 application.

Based on the foregoing problems, embodiments of the present application provide a first network switching method, apparatus, storage medium, and terminal, which can effectively reduce power consumption of the terminal. The following are detailed descriptions. It should be noted that the following description of the embodiments is not intended to limit the preferred order of the embodiments.

Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic flowchart illustrating a first network handover method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The network switching method may be applied to mobile terminals such as terminals, tablet computers, notebook computers, palmtop computers, portable Media Players (PMPs), and fixed terminals such as desktop computers. The specific flow of the network switching method may be as follows:

101. and when the connected network is detected to be the advanced network, acquiring the application information of the application in the current operation, and transmitting data by the advanced network at a high speed.

Specifically, whether the connected network is a high-level network or not can be detected by detecting the current data transmission rate. Different data transmission rates may correspond to different network levels, and a higher data transmission rate may indicate a higher network level. For example, the network may be divided into a high-level network and a low-level network according to a network level, wherein the high-level network corresponds to a high transmission rate and the low-level network corresponds to a low transmission rate. For example, when the network transmission rate is 100Mbps or more (megabits per second), it can be expressed as a high transmission rate; when the network transmission rate is 10Kbps (kilobits per second) or less, it can be expressed as a low transmission rate or the like.

For example, when it is detected that the current data transmission rate may be 110Mbps, the current network transmission rate may be determined to be a high transmission rate, and thus it may be determined that the network class of the current connection may be a high-level network.

Specifically, after detecting that the currently connected network is a high-level network, an application list of the currently running application may be acquired. The application list may include all applications currently opened by the terminal, for example, foreground applications and background applications.

The application currently operated by the user (i.e., the application corresponding to the interface displayed on the current display screen) may be referred to as a foreground application, and the application that is not operated by the user but is running may be referred to as a background application.

Specifically, the application information of the application currently running is obtained, and the application information may be all information of the application obtained when the application is installed. The application information may include various information, for example, the application information may include various information such as an application type, a network connection method, and the like.

The application type may include various types, such as a chat type, a photo type, a navigation type, a game type, and the like, and the network connection manner may include a mobile data network connection, a wireless data network connection, and the like.

For example, the application obtained in the current operation may be application a, and the application information of the obtained application a may be: the application type may be a game type application, and the network connection may be a mobile data network connection or a wireless data network connection.

In some embodiments, in order to save power consumption of the terminal, the terminal may detect an operating state, and select a network of an appropriate level according to the operating state for connection. The network switching method may further include the steps of:

after detecting that the connected network is a high-level network, judging whether data transmission is carried out currently;

if not, stopping the connection with the advanced network.

Specifically, after it is determined that the currently connected network is a higher-level network, the network use state may be detected. Specifically, detecting the network use state can determine whether the terminal performs data transmission through the network, and if it is detected that the current terminal performs data transmission through the network, the step can be executed to acquire application information of the application in the current operation; if the current terminal is detected not to carry out data transmission through the network, the connection with the high-rise network can be disconnected, the battery power consumed in the connection process of the high-level network is saved, and the power consumption of the terminal is reduced.

102. And determining a target connection network according to the application information.

Specifically, the target connection network is determined according to the application information, where the application information may include information such as an application type and a network connection mode, and the target connection network may be determined according to the application type and the network connection mode.

In some embodiments, the step of "determining a target connection network according to the network application information" may include the following procedures:

determining the application type of the running application according to the application information;

acquiring a network level corresponding to the application type;

determining a target connection network based on the network level.

Specifically, the application information of the running application includes the application type of the running application, and the application type of the running application may be determined according to the application information of the running application.

After determining the application type, a network connection mode of the running application may be obtained, where the network connection mode indicates what mode the application may perform network connection, and the network connection mode may perform connection through a mobile data network or a wireless data network, for example.

The network connection mode may have multiple setting modes, for example, a default network setting when the application is installed or a user-defined setting when the application is used. By setting the network connection mode of the application, consumption of terminal data traffic can be saved, for example, a user sets the network connection mode of the application to be a wireless network data mode, so that the user can be prevented from using a mobile network for connection and consuming the data traffic when the user opens the application.

When the network connection mode of the running application is mobile data network connection, the network level corresponding to the application type can be obtained. The network level can be divided into a high-level network, a low-level network and the like, wherein the high-level network is used for high-rate data transmission, and the low-level network is used for low-rate data transmission; advanced networks may reduce the time for data transmission by high rate data transmission, which in turn may consume more power to the terminal than low rate data transmission.

Specifically, the network level corresponding to the application type, which may include a chat type, a photo type, a navigation type, a game type, and the like, may be determined according to the network connection importance of the application type, for example, the network connection importance of the application of the chat type and the navigation type is higher when the application is used, the network level corresponding to the application of the chat type and the navigation type may be set to be a high-level network, and the network connection importance of the application of the game type and the photo type when the application is used is general, the network level of the application of the game type and the photo type may be set to be a low-level network.

For example, the currently running application may be application a, the network connection mode for acquiring application a may be mobile data network connection, the application type may be game type application, and it may be determined that the network level corresponding to application a may be a low-level network, and the target connection network is a low-level network.

103. And judging whether the target connection network is a high-level network or not.

Specifically, after the target connection network is determined, it may be determined whether the target connection network is a higher-level network, and corresponding operation may be performed according to a determination result.

For example, if the target connection network is not a high-level network, step 104 may be performed; if the target connection network is a premium network, step 105 may be performed.

104. And switching the advanced network to the target connection network.

Specifically, when the target connection network is not the advanced network, the advanced network may be switched to the target connection network, and the connection with the advanced network may be disconnected and then opened.

For example, the target connection network may be a low-level network, and at this time, the connection with the high-level network may be disconnected, the connection with the low-level network may be opened, and the terminal use state may be switched to a low power consumption state, so as to maintain electric energy, improve cruising ability, and increase the service life of the battery.

105. The connection to the advanced network is continuously maintained.

Specifically, when the target connection network is a high-level network, the connection with the high-level network can be continuously maintained, and the high data transmission rate of the current network connection is ensured.

In some embodiments, before the step of "continuing to maintain connection with the advanced network", the following steps may be further included:

acquiring the current data volume to be transmitted;

comparing the data volume to be transmitted with a preset data volume,

and if the data volume to be transmitted is larger than the preset data volume, executing the step of continuously keeping the connection with the advanced network.

Specifically, the current data volume to be transmitted is obtained, and the data volume to be transmitted may be the data volume to be transmitted for performing network connection by the application in the current operation. After the current data volume to be transmitted is obtained, the data volume to be transmitted may be compared with a preset data volume, where the preset data volume may be a minimum network transmission data volume for starting a high-level network connection.

When the data volume to be transmitted is larger than the preset data volume, the connection with the advanced network can be continuously maintained. For example, the current amount of data to be transmitted may be 150M (megabyte), the preset amount of data may be 100M, and if it is determined that the current amount of data to be transmitted is greater than the preset amount of data, the connection with the advanced network may be continuously maintained, so as to improve the network data transmission efficiency.

For another example, if the current amount of data to be transmitted may be 50M and the preset amount of data may be 100M, it may be determined that the amount of data to be transmitted is less than the preset amount of data, and the high-level network may be switched to the low-level network for connection, so that power consumption of the terminal may be saved.

acquiring a current residual electric quantity value;

acquiring historical power consumption information of an application in operation;

determining the corresponding relation between the transmission data volume and the power consumption according to the historical power consumption information;

determining target power consumption based on the corresponding relation and the data volume to be transmitted;

judging whether the residual electric quantity value is larger than the target electric consumption quantity or not;

if so, executing step to continue to maintain connection with the advanced network.

Specifically, a current remaining power value is obtained, and the remaining power value may be expressed as a percentage of the total power, for example, the remaining power value may be 10%,20%,50%, or the like.

Furthermore, historical power consumption information of the running application is obtained, the historical power consumption information can comprise historical power consumption and historical transmission data amount of the running application, and the corresponding relation between the transmission data amount and the power consumption amount of the running application can be determined according to the historical power consumption and the historical transmission data amount. For example, if the historical power consumption amount may be 30% and the historical transmission data may be 150M, it may be determined that the power consumption amount and the remaining power amount correspond to each other: the power consumption amount when the transmission data amount is 1M may be 0.2%.

After determining the relationship between the transmission data amount and the power consumption amount, a target power consumption amount corresponding to the data amount to be transmitted may be determined, for example, the data amount to be transmitted may be 150M, and the corresponding relationship between the power consumption amount and the remaining power amount may be: the power consumption amount when the transmission data amount is 1M may be 0.2%, and the target power consumption amount may be determined to be 30%.

Specifically, the residual electric quantity value is compared with the target electric consumption, and whether the transmission of the data quantity to be transmitted can be completed by the residual electric quantity value or not can be judged.

For example, the remaining power amount may be 50% and the target power consumption amount may be 30%, it may be determined that the remaining power amount is greater than the target power consumption amount, and then the connection with the advanced network may be continuously maintained, and for example, the remaining power amount may be 10% and the target power consumption amount may be 30%, it may be determined that the remaining power amount is less than the target power consumption amount, and then the connection with the advanced network may be disconnected, and the battery usage time may be increased.

The embodiment of the application discloses a network switching method, which comprises the following steps: when detecting that a connected network is a high-level network, acquiring application information of a currently running application, wherein the high-level network carries out data transmission at a high rate; determining a target connection network according to the application information; judging whether the target connection network is the advanced network or not; if not, the advanced network is switched to the target connection network. According to the embodiment of the application, the network level of the current connection network is detected, if the network level is a high-level network, the high-level network is switched to a low-level network according to the operation condition of the terminal, the service state of the terminal can be switched to a low-power consumption state, the cruising ability is improved, and therefore the power consumption of the terminal is effectively reduced.

Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a schematic flowchart of a second network handover method according to an embodiment of the present application. The specific application of the network switching method in the scene can be as follows:

201. and the terminal receives the network opening instruction and opens the network connection according to the network opening instruction.

Specifically, the terminal receives a network start instruction, and may receive a network start instruction triggered by a user through a user-related operation. For example, if the user currently opens the application and needs to perform network connection, the terminal may receive a network opening instruction and open the network connection according to the network opening instruction, or receive the network opening instruction when detecting that the user opens the network connection button.

When the terminal opens the network connection according to the network opening instruction, the default network type set by the terminal may be opened, for example, the default opened network type may be 2g,3g,4g, and so on.

202. The terminal obtains the data volume to be transmitted of the current running application and compares the data volume to be transmitted with the preset data volume.

Specifically, the terminal obtains the data volume to be transmitted of the currently running application, and the data volume to be transmitted can be the data volume which needs to be sent or received by the terminal for network connection. For example, the running application may be a video playing application, and if it is detected that a video file needs to be downloaded through a network currently, and the data volume of the video file may be 200M, it may be determined that the data volume to be transmitted is 200M.

After the data volume to be transmitted is obtained, the data volume to be transmitted may be compared with a preset data volume, and by comparing the data volume to be transmitted with the preset data volume, the network type currently performing network connection may be determined.

203. The terminal obtains the current residual electric quantity and compares the residual electric quantity with the preset electric quantity.

Specifically, the terminal acquires the current remaining capacity, and the remaining capacity may refer to a battery remaining capacity value available for use by the current terminal battery, and after acquiring the remaining capacity, the remaining capacity may be compared with a preset capacity. The preset electric quantity can be an electric quantity threshold value when the terminal enters a low power consumption state, and the network type of the current network connection can be further judged by comparing the residual electric quantity with the preset electric quantity.

204. And the terminal judges whether the data volume to be transmitted is larger than the preset data volume or not.

Specifically, after the data amount to be transmitted is compared with the preset data amount, it may be determined whether the data amount to be transmitted is greater than the preset data amount, if the data amount to be transmitted is greater than the preset data amount, step 205 may be executed, and if the data amount to be transmitted is less than the preset data amount, step 207 may be executed.

For example, if the amount of data to be transmitted may be 200M and the preset amount of data may be 100M, it may be determined that the amount of data to be transmitted is greater than the preset amount of data, and then step 206 may be performed.

For another example, if the amount of data to be transmitted may be 50M and the preset amount of data may be 100M, it may be determined that the amount of data to be transmitted is less than the preset amount of data, and step 207 may be executed.

205. And the terminal judges whether the residual electric quantity is greater than the preset electric quantity.

Specifically, when the data amount to be transmitted is greater than the preset data amount, the terminal continues to determine whether the remaining power is greater than the preset power, if the remaining power is greater than the preset power, step 206 may be executed, and if the remaining power is less than the preset power, step 207 may be executed.

For example, the remaining power may be 80% and the preset power may be 20%, it may be determined that the remaining power is greater than the preset power, and step 206 may be executed; for another example, if the remaining power may be 10% and the preset power may be 20%, it may be determined that the remaining power is less than the preset power, and step 207 may be executed.

206. The terminal performs network connection based on the 4G network.

Specifically, after it is determined that the data volume to be transmitted is greater than the preset data volume and the remaining power is greater than the preset power, the network connected to the terminal may be switched to the 4G network.

For example, when network connection is started, the default connection network may be a 2G network, and after it is detected that the amount of data to be transmitted is greater than the preset amount of data and the remaining amount of power is greater than the preset amount of power, the 2G network may be switched to a 4G network, so that the data transmission rate of network connection may be effectively increased.

207. The terminal performs network connection based on the 2G network.

Specifically, when the data volume to be transmitted is less than the preset data volume or the remaining power to be transmitted is less than the preset power volume, the network connected to the terminal may be switched to the 2G network.

For example, when the network connection is opened, the default connection network may be that the 4G network is switched to the 2G network after detecting that the amount of data to be transmitted is less than the preset amount of data or the remaining amount of power to be transmitted is less than the preset amount of power. The power consumption of the terminal can be saved, and the endurance time of the terminal is prolonged.

Wherein:

the RF circuit 601 may be used for receiving and transmitting signals during the process of transmitting and receiving information, and in particular, for processing the received downlink information of the base station by one or more processors 608; in addition, data relating to uplink is transmitted to the base station.

Further, the memory 602 may include high speed random access memory, and may also include non-volatile memory, such as at least one magnetic disk storage device, flash memory device, or other volatile solid state storage device. Accordingly, the memory 602 may also include a memory controller to provide the processor 608 and the input unit 603 access to the memory 602.

The input unit 603 may be used to receive input numeric or character information and generate keyboard, mouse, joystick, optical or trackball signal inputs related to user settings and function control. In particular, in one particular embodiment, input unit 603 may include a touch-sensitive surface as well as other input devices.
