Fig. 1 is a schematic flow chart of a network handover method according to an exemplary embodiment of the disclosure. The network switching method shown in this embodiment may be applied to a terminal, where the terminal includes, but is not limited to, an electronic device such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a wearable device, a sensor, and an internet of things device. The terminal may communicate with a base station and a core network as a user equipment, where the base station includes, but is not limited to, a 2G base station, a 3G base station, a 4G base station, a 5G base station, and a 6G base station, and the core network includes, but is not limited to, a 2G core network, a 3G core network, a 4G core network, a 5G core network, and a 6G core network.
As shown in fig. 1, the network handover method may include the following steps:
in step S101, determining a network type currently accessed by the terminal; the network type is a low power consumption network or a high power consumption network.
In one embodiment, the terminal may determine the type of network it is accessing. The network type may include two types, namely, a low power consumption network and a high power consumption network.
In one embodiment, the network type may be predefined, for example, a 5G SA network may be determined as a high power consumption network, and other networks than the 5G SA network may be determined as low power consumption networks. Therefore, if the terminal determines that the currently residing network is the 5G SA network, the network type can be determined to be the high-power-consumption network, and if the currently residing network is determined to be other networks, such as the LTE network and the 5G NSA network, the network type can be determined to be the low-power-consumption network.
Alternatively, the terminal may define the network type in other manners, for example, the 6G network is determined to be a high power consumption network, which is only an exemplary illustration and is not limited herein.
In step S102, a network type matching the usage status is determined based on the usage status of the network-related function in the terminal.
In one embodiment, the terminal may determine the usage status of the network-related functions on the device. Optionally, the use state may be a stable state, for example, the terminal detects that the screen is in a bright screen state; alternatively, the use state may be a transient state, such as the terminal listening that the screen is lit.
In one embodiment, the terminal may determine the network type matching the usage status according to the usage status of the network-related function. The terminal may determine the matched network type according to one usage state, or may determine the matched network type according to a comprehensive condition of a plurality of usage states.
In step S103, in response to the currently accessed network type not being consistent with the network type matching the use state, switching to the network type matching the use state.
In one embodiment, the terminal may determine whether the network type of the current access, the network type matching the usage status, and both are consistent. For example, the terminal may compare the network type determined in step S101 with the network type determined in step S102 to determine whether the two types are consistent.
In one embodiment, if it is determined that the currently accessed network type is not consistent with the network type matched with the use state, the terminal performs network switching to the network type matched with the use state.
For example, if the terminal determines that the currently accessed network type is a high-power-consumption network and determines that the network type matched with the use state is a low-power-consumption network, the two networks are not consistent, and the terminal can be switched to the low-power-consumption network matched with the use state; or, if the terminal determines that the currently accessed network type is a low-power-consumption network and determines that the network type matched with the use state is a high-power-consumption network, the two networks are not consistent, and the terminal can be switched to the high-power-consumption network matched with the use state.
In one embodiment, if it is determined that the currently accessed network type is not consistent with the network type matched with the use state, the terminal keeps not performing handover in the current network.
In one embodiment, the switching to the network type matching the usage state in this embodiment is also implemented by turning on or off a switch of the high power consumption network. For example, if the terminal determines that it needs to switch to the high power consumption network, the terminal may turn on a switch of the high power consumption network, for example, turn on the 5G SA network, and actually, the terminal may not be able to switch to the 5G SA network, for example, a 5G base station that does not meet the conditions in the environment; for example, if the terminal determines that it needs to switch to the low power consumption network, the terminal may close a switch of the high power consumption network, for example, close the 5G SA network, so that the terminal may access the eligible low power consumption network, for example, the LTE network, according to the current environment.
It should be noted that the terminal consumes more power and consumes more power in the high power consumption network, however, the performance of the general high power consumption network is also better, for example, the bandwidth and the rate are both higher, and the user may have better network experience in the high power consumption network. In the embodiment shown in fig. 1, a more reasonable network type may be determined according to the usage status of the network-related function in the terminal, for example, when the terminal needs to use network data, a high-power network is preferentially used to obtain a better user experience; and when the terminal does not need to use network data, the low-power-consumption network is preferentially used so as to save the power consumption of the terminal.
In one embodiment, the terminal may determine the matched network type according to the usage status of one network-related function, or may also determine the matched network type according to the comprehensive situation of a plurality of usage statuses. For example, the matching network type may be determined based on the state of a data network switch, the state of a terminal screen, and/or the foreground activity of an application. 4 specific embodiments are described below in conjunction with FIGS. 2-5
Example 1:
fig. 2 is a schematic flow chart diagram illustrating another network handover method in an exemplary embodiment of the disclosure. As shown in fig. 2, the usage status of the network-related function includes the status of a data network switch.
In step S201, a data network switch state of the terminal is determined.
In one embodiment, the terminal may monitor the real-time update status of the data network switch, for example, monitor that the data network switch is turned on or turned off; or the terminal may detect the state of the data network switch periodically, for example, detect that the data network switch is in an on state or an off state.
In one embodiment, the network type matching the use state is determined to be a low power consumption network in response to the data network switch of the terminal being closed.
In one embodiment, the data network switch is turned off to indicate that the user does not need to use the data network currently, and thus to save the power consumption of the terminal, the step S202 may be executed if the matched network type is determined to be the low power consumption network.
In step S202, the terminal accesses the low power consumption network.
In one embodiment, the terminal may query the network type of the terminal currently accessed, and if the network type of the terminal currently accessed is a low-power-consumption network, that is, the network type is consistent with the network type matched with the use state, network switching is not required; and if the currently accessed network type is a high-power-consumption network, namely the currently accessed network type is inconsistent with the network type matched with the use state, switching the terminal from the high-power-consumption network to the low-power-consumption network.
In one embodiment, the network type matching the use state is determined to be a high power consumption network in response to a data network switch of the terminal being turned on.
In an embodiment, the data network switch is turned on to indicate that the user may need to use the data network, and in order to improve the internet surfing experience of the user and determine that the matched network type is the high power consumption network, step S203 may be performed.
In step S203, the terminal accesses the high power consumption network.
In one embodiment, the terminal may query the network type of the terminal currently accessed, and if the network type of the terminal currently accessed is a high power consumption network, that is, the network type is consistent with the network type matched with the use state, network switching is not required; and if the currently accessed network type is a low-power-consumption network, namely the currently accessed network type is inconsistent with the network type matched with the use state, switching the terminal from the low-power-consumption network to the high-power-consumption network.
In one embodiment, the terminal performing handover to a network type matching the usage state includes: and responding to the terminal entering a non-connection state from a connection state, and switching the terminal to a network type matched with the use state.
It should be noted that the terminal in the connected state may be interacting with a network device, such as a base station, and network switching may cause an abnormal situation such as network interruption, thereby affecting user experience.
In an embodiment, when the terminal performs the switching to the network type matching the usage state as in step S202 and step S203, the terminal may also perform the switching directly after determining the determination result, thereby improving the switching processing efficiency.
Thus, embodiment 1 shown in fig. 2 is completed. According to the embodiment 1, the terminal can directly determine the matched network type according to the data network switch, and when the data network switch is turned on, a better network performance is obtained by preferentially passing through a high-power-consumption network, so that the user experience is improved; and when the data network switch is closed, the high-power-consumption network is closed preferentially to save the power consumption of the terminal.
Example 2:
fig. 3 is a schematic flow chart diagram illustrating another network handover method in an exemplary embodiment of the disclosure. As shown in fig. 3, the use status of the network-related function includes the status of the data network switch and the status of the terminal screen.
In step S301, the data network switch status of the terminal is determined.
In one embodiment, in response to the data network switch of the terminal being turned off, it is determined that the network type matching the use state is a low power consumption network, and then step S202 may be performed.
In step S302, the terminal accesses the low power consumption network.
Here, the method for determining the on-off state of the data network of the terminal and accessing the terminal to the low power consumption network may refer to embodiment 1, and details are not described here.
In one embodiment, in response to the data network switch of the terminal being open, the method further comprises:
in step S303, the state of the terminal screen is determined.
In one embodiment, the terminal determines the state of the screen, which may be detecting a change in the state of the screen, such as detecting whether there is a lit-up screen or a extinguished screen.
In one embodiment, in response to the terminal turning off the screen, the terminal may perform step S304.
In one embodiment, in response to the terminal lighting up the screen, it is determined that the network type matching the use state is the high power consumption network, and the terminal may perform step S306.
It should be noted that, in consideration of the habit of the user, when the terminal lights up the screen, it may be considered that the user needs to use the data network, and it may be determined that the matched network type is the high power consumption network, so as to improve the user experience of surfing the internet. After the terminal extinguishes the screen, the application program is generally closed or enters the background, and the requirement on the data network is low, however, part of the application program still needs the data network with higher performance, such as the application program related to the audio or the application program downloaded in the background, and the like, and the embodiment can perform detection through subsequent steps.
In step S304, it is determined whether an application using the data network exists while the screen is extinguished.
In one embodiment, step S305 is performed in response to the application using the data network existing when the terminal turns off the screen.
In one embodiment, in response to that there is no application using a data network when the terminal turns off the screen, it is determined that the network type matching the use state is a low power consumption network, and step S307 is performed.
In step S305, it is determined whether the application continues to use the data network for a preset period of time from the screen being turned off.
In one embodiment, if it is determined that the terminal continues to use the data network within the preset time period from the screen being turned off, it is determined that the matched network type is the high power consumption network, and step S306 is performed. In one embodiment, if it is determined that the application stops using the data network within a preset time period from turning off the screen, it is determined that the matched network type is a low power consumption network, and step S307 is performed.
It should be noted that, detecting whether an application uses the data network requires energy consumption, so a preset time period, for example, 5 seconds, 10 seconds, etc., may be set, and on the premise of avoiding energy consumption waste due to detection for too long time, an application that delays response after turning off the screen may also be found in time that the application has stopped using the data network, thereby determining the matched network type.
In step S306, the terminal accesses the high power consumption network.
Here, the method for determining that the terminal accesses the high power consumption network may refer to embodiment 1, and details are not described here.
It should be noted that, when the terminal determines that the matched network type is a high-power-consumption network, if the currently accessed network type is low-power-consumption network, the terminal may not perform the switching temporarily, so as to avoid abnormal interruption of the network caused by network switching, thereby affecting user experience. For example, the terminal may determine whether an application is using network data before switching, or determine whether an application using network data can be suspended, and perform switching if the application can be suspended, or keep the current network type from performing switching if the application cannot be suspended.
In step S307, the terminal accesses the low power consumption network.
Here, the method for determining that the terminal accesses the low power consumption network may refer to embodiment 1, and details are not described here.
It should be noted that, in order to avoid network abnormal interruption caused by network handover, the method in step S306 may also be referred to determine to perform handover or to keep the current network type from performing handover.
To this end, embodiment 2 shown in fig. 2 is completed. According to embodiment 2, the terminal can determine the matched network type by combining the data network switch and the terminal screen state, and further judge whether the screen state and the application program use the data network for matching when the data network switch is turned on, so that the power consumption of the terminal is further saved.
Example 3:
fig. 4 is a schematic flow chart diagram illustrating another network handover method in an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 4, the usage states of the network-related functions include a state of a data network switch and a foreground active state of an application.
In step S401, the data network switch status of the terminal is determined.
In one embodiment, in response to the data network switch of the terminal being turned off, and it is determined that the network type matching the use state is a low power consumption network, step S202 may be performed.
In step S402, the terminal accesses the low power consumption network.
Here, the method for determining the on-off state of the data network of the terminal and accessing the terminal to the low power consumption network may refer to embodiment 1, and details are not described here.
In one embodiment, in response to the data network switch of the terminal being open, the method further comprises:
in step S403, it is determined whether there is an application that is foreground active.
In one embodiment, in response to that there is an application program currently active in the foreground in the terminal, it is determined that the network type matching the usage state is a high power consumption network, and step S404 is performed.
In one embodiment, in response to that there is no foreground active application in the terminal currently, it is determined that the network type matching the usage state is a low power consumption network, and step S405 is performed.
In step S404, the terminal accesses the high power consumption network.
Here, a method of determining that the terminal accesses the high power consumption network may refer to embodiment 1.
In an embodiment, when the terminal determines that the matched network type is a high-power-consumption network, if the currently accessed network type is low-power-consumption network, the terminal may not perform handover temporarily, so as to avoid network abnormal interruption caused by network handover, thereby affecting user experience. For example, the terminal may determine whether an application is using network data before switching, or determine whether an application using network data can be suspended, and perform switching if the application can be suspended, or keep the current network type from performing switching if the application cannot be suspended.
In step S405, the terminal accesses the low power consumption network.
Here, the method for determining that the terminal accesses the low power consumption network may refer to embodiment 1, and details are not described here.
It should be noted that, because there is no application program in the foreground active state at present, the problem of application program abnormality caused by switching does not need to be considered, and the terminal can be directly switched to the low-power-consumption network, so that the processing efficiency is improved.
In one embodiment, after step S405, i.e. in response to there being no foreground active application currently in the terminal, the method further comprises:
in step S406, it is determined whether a request for the application to use the network is received.
In response to receiving a request for the application to use the network, it is determined that the network type matching the use state is the high power consumption network, and step S407 is performed.
In step S407, the terminal accesses the high power consumption network.
According to the method in the embodiment, the terminal does not always access the low-power-consumption network, but can be switched to the high-power-consumption network according to the request of the application program using the network. Generally, an application may receive a temporary interruption of the network when requesting the network, and then obtain a better internet experience when using the application. Of course, if there are other applications, the terminal may switch the network temporarily, but after the terminal enters the unconnected state, or when the application in the terminal is allowed to suspend. The selection may be specifically performed according to actual situations, and this embodiment is not limited.
Thus, embodiment 3 shown in fig. 4 is completed. According to embodiment 3, the terminal may determine the matched network type by combining the foreground active states of the data network switch and the application program, and further determine whether there is an active foreground application program for matching when the data network switch is turned on, thereby further saving the power consumption of the terminal.
Example 4:

As shown in fig. 5, the usage states of the network-related functions include a state of a data network switch, a state of a terminal screen, and a foreground active state of an application.
In step S501, the data network switch status of the terminal is determined.
In one embodiment, in response to the data network switch of the terminal being turned off, and it is determined that the network type matching the use state is a low power consumption network, step S202 may be performed.
In step S502, the terminal accesses the low power consumption network.
Here, the method for determining the on-off state of the data network of the terminal and accessing the terminal to the low power consumption network may refer to embodiment 1, and details are not described here.
In step S503, the state of the terminal screen is determined.
In one embodiment, in response to the terminal turning off the screen, the terminal may perform steps S504 to S507.
Here, the method in steps S503 to S507 may refer to steps S303 to S307 in embodiment 2, and details are not repeated here.
In one embodiment, in response to the terminal illuminating a screen, the method further comprises:
in step S508, it is determined whether there is an application that is foreground active.
And in response to that the foreground active application program exists in the terminal at present, determining that the network type matched with the use state is a high-power-consumption network, and executing step S509.
And in response to that no foreground active application program exists in the terminal at present, determining that the network type matched with the use state is a low-power consumption network, and executing step S510.
In step S509, the terminal accesses the high power consumption network.
In step S510, the terminal accesses the low power consumption network.
In one embodiment, after step S510, i.e. in response to there being no currently foreground-active application in the terminal, the method further comprises:
in step S511, it is determined whether a request for the application to use the network is received.
In response to receiving a request for the application to use the network, it is determined that the network type matching the use state is a high power consumption network, and step S412 is performed.
In step S512, the terminal accesses the high power consumption network.
Here, the method of steps S509 to S512 may refer to steps S404 to S407 in embodiment 3, and details thereof are not repeated here.
To this end, embodiment 4 shown in fig. 5 is completed. According to embodiment 4, the terminal can determine the matched network type by combining the data network switch, the terminal screen state and the foreground active state of the application program, and further judge whether the foreground active application program exists for matching when the data network switch is turned on and the terminal screen is lighted, so that the power consumption of the terminal is further saved.
It should be noted that the above embodiments are only exemplary. In practical applications, the usage states of the above-mentioned several functions related to the network may be combined in other forms, or other usage states may be introduced to match the network type, which is not limited in this embodiment.
