The following describes embodiments of the present application in detail.

Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a schematic flowchart of a network switching method provided in an embodiment of the present application, and the method is applied to an electronic device, and includes the following steps:

step 201: detecting the network quality of a Wi-Fi network currently used by the electronic device.

Wherein the network quality comprises at least one of: signal strength, network delay, real-time network speed. Signal strength refers to the broadband received power over the channel bandwidth received by the electronic device. Network latency refers to the round-trip time for a data packet to be sent from the user's electronic device to the server and then immediately back from the server to the user's electronic device. The real-time network speed refers to the length of time for requesting and returning data when uploading and downloading data when the electronic equipment is on the internet.

Further, a specific way to detect the network quality of the Wi-Fi network currently used by the electronic device is as follows: acquiring current used WLAN information included in a network setting interface; and analyzing the WLAN information to obtain the network quality of the currently used Wi-Fi network.

Further, another specific way to detect the network quality of the Wi-Fi network currently used by the electronic device is to: determining whether a network analysis application is installed in the electronic device; if the network analysis application is installed, starting the network analysis application; and detecting the network quality of the Wi-Fi network currently used by the electronic equipment through the network analysis application to obtain the network quality of the Wi-Fi network currently used by the electronic equipment.

The network analysis application may be, for example, a Wi-Fi Universal Assistant, a Wi-Fi analyzer, a Wi-Fi Signal detection application, or other applications.

Step 202: when the network quality of the Wi-Fi network currently used by the electronic equipment is detected to be less than or equal to the preset network quality, determining a flow package of a mobile data network used by the electronic equipment.

The network quality of the Wi-Fi network currently used by the electronic equipment is less than or equal to the preset network quality, and the network quality includes at least one of the following: the signal intensity of the Wi-Fi network currently used by the electronic equipment is smaller than or equal to the preset signal intensity, the network delay of the Wi-Fi network currently used by the electronic equipment is larger than or equal to the preset network delay, and the average real-time network speed of the Wi-Fi network currently used by the electronic equipment is smaller than or equal to the preset average real-time network speed.

And the average real-time network speed is the average value of the real-time network speeds in the preset time. The predetermined time may be 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, or other values.

The traffic packages of the mobile data network include, for example, unlimited traffic packages, and the like.

Step 203: and when the flow package is a non-flow-limiting package, starting a mobile data switch, and switching the wireless network of the electronic equipment to a mobile data network.

The non-flow-limiting package comprises high-speed flow and low-speed flow, wherein the high-speed flow refers to the non-speed-limiting flow, and the low-speed flow refers to the flow of which the network speed is lower than a preset value after an operator limits the speed of a mobile network. High-speed traffic may be used under a fifth Generation mobile phone communication technology (5th-Generation with free mobile phone technology, 5G) network, a fourth Generation mobile phone communication technology (4th-Generation with free mobile phone technology, 4G) network. The low-speed traffic may be used in a 2-Generation wireless telephone technology (2G) network, a 3rd-Generation wireless telephone technology (2G) network.

The mobile data switch is used for switching on or off a mobile data network of the electronic equipment. After the mobile data switch is turned on, the Wi-Fi switch may be turned off or not, which is not limited herein. The Wi-Fi switch is used for switching on or off a Wi-Fi network of the electronic equipment.

It can be seen that, in the embodiment of the present application, when it is detected that the network quality of the currently used Wi-Fi network is less than or equal to the preset network quality, the traffic package of the mobile data network used by the currently used Wi-Fi network is determined; and when the flow package is a non-flow-limiting package, starting a mobile data switch, and switching the currently used Wi-Fi network to the mobile data network. When the network quality of the Wi-Fi network is poor, the network switching can be timely and intelligently carried out, the network speed is improved, and the internet surfing experience is further improved.

In an implementation manner of the present application, after switching the wireless network of the electronic device to a mobile data network, the method further includes:

closing at least one running application when the remaining flow of the high-speed flow of the unlimited flow package is determined to be less than or equal to a first threshold, wherein the at least one running application does not comprise a foreground running application, and the priority of the at least one running application is less than or equal to a preset priority.

The first threshold may be preset by the electronic device or set by the user, and may be, for example, 1G, 5G, 10G, or another value, which is not limited herein.

The running applications of the electronic device include a foreground running application and a background running application, the foreground running application may be one application or multiple applications, and the background running application may be one application or multiple applications, which is not limited herein.

The priority of the application may be a use priority of the application, an important priority of the application, or the like. When the priority of the application is the usage priority of the application, the priority may be determined by the electronic device based on the usage frequency of the application for a period of time, or may be user-defined, and is not limited herein. When the priority of the application is an important priority of the application, the priority may be determined by the electronic device based on the type of the application, and the type of the application may be security, instant messaging, news, audio/video, or the like, or may be user-defined, which is not limited herein.

It can be seen that, in the embodiment of the present application, when it is determined that the high-speed traffic of the unlimited traffic package is not multi-valued, some applications with lower priority in the background are closed, traffic consumption of the electronic device is reduced, and the transmission rate of the applications running in the foreground is increased.

In an implementation manner of the present application, the method further includes:

when the flow package is not a non-flow-limiting package, continuously detecting the network quality of the Wi-Fi network currently used by the electronic equipment; when the network quality of the Wi-Fi network currently used by the electronic equipment is detected to be still less than or equal to the preset network quality, outputting reminding information, wherein the reminding information is used for reminding network switching; and when a switching confirmation instruction aiming at the reminding information is detected, switching the wireless network of the electronic equipment to a mobile data network.

The mode of outputting the reminding information can be at least one of a display mode and a voice mode.

The confirmation instruction may be triggered by a user performing touch operation on a specified position of an operation interface, or triggered by the user pressing a specified key of the electronic device. The touch operation may be a single-click operation, a multi-click operation, a slide operation + a single-click operation, a slide operation + a multi-click operation, or the like.

It can be seen that, in the embodiment of the application, when the flow package is not the unlimited flow package, the network quality of the Wi-Fi network is continuously detected, if the network quality of the Wi-Fi network is still not good, the reminding information is output to remind the user of switching the network, and the user is reminded of not good network quality, so that the internet surfing experience is improved under the condition that the electronic equipment is not good in network quality for a long time.

when the flow package is not a non-flow-limiting package, continuously detecting the network quality of the Wi-Fi network currently used by the electronic equipment; and when the network quality of the Wi-Fi network currently used by the electronic equipment is detected to be still less than or equal to the preset network quality, starting the mobile data switch, and starting a link aggregation function, wherein the Wi-Fi network and the mobile data network are simultaneously used by the electronic equipment under the link aggregation function.

Wherein after turning on the mobile data switch, the electronic device keeps the Wi-Fi switch turned on.

Further, after the electronic device enables the link aggregation function, the method further includes:

respectively acquiring current peak transmission rates of at least two wireless network modules for link aggregation; determining the shunting weight of the at least two wireless network modules according to the obtained at least two peak transmission rates; and shunting the at least two wireless network modules according to the determined at least two shunting weights.

The wireless network module includes, for example, a wifi module, a bluetooth module, a data network module, a Neighbor Awareness Network (NAN) network module, and the like. The data network module may support a second-Generation wireless telephone technology (2G) network, a third-Generation wireless telephone technology (3rd-Generation wireless telephone technology, 3G) network, a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network, a fifth-Generation wireless telephone technology (5th-Generation wireless telephone technology, 5G) network, and so on.

The stream splitting weight is used to indicate the degree of importance in splitting the data stream.

And the determined at least two shunt weights are in one-to-one correspondence with the at least two wireless network modules. The sum of the at least two splitting weights is equal to 1.

Further, the specific implementation manner of the shunting weights of the at least two wireless network modules is respectively determined according to the obtained at least two peak transmission rates: and respectively determining the shunting weight of the at least two wireless network modules according to the obtained at least two peak transmission rates and a set rule, wherein the preset rule is that the shunting weight is equal to the sum of the peak transmission rate divided by the at least two peak transmission rates.

Further, a specific implementation manner for shunting the at least two wireless network modules according to the determined at least two shunting weights includes: and shunting the at least two wireless network modules according to the number of the data streams currently established by the electronic equipment and the determined at least two shunting weights.

For example, assuming that the wireless network modules for link aggregation are a wifi module and a data network module, step 203 determines that the offloading weight of the wifi module is 1/3 and the offloading weight of the data network module is 2/3, if there are 3 data streams currently established by the electronic device, the electronic device offloads 1 data stream to the wifi module and offloads 2 data streams to the data network module. For another example, assuming that the wireless network modules for link aggregation are a wifi module and a data network module, step 203 determines that the offloading weight of the wifi module is 1/3 and the offloading weight of the data network module is 2/3, and if there are 4 data streams currently established by the electronic device, the electronic device offloads 1 data stream to the wifi module and offloads 3 data streams to the data network module.

The data stream is a set of packets of the same data type, for example, a video-type packet belongs to one data stream, a picture-type packet belongs to one data stream, and the like.

It can be seen that, in the embodiment of the present application, in a link aggregation state, the electronic device respectively obtains current peak transmission rates of at least two wireless network modules for link aggregation, then respectively determines offloading weights of the at least two wireless network modules based on the determined at least two peak transmission rates, and finally offloads the at least two wireless network modules based on the determined at least two offloading weights, so that offloading of different wireless network modules in the link aggregation state is achieved, and further stability of data transmission is improved.

In an implementation manner of the present application, a specific implementation manner of determining a traffic package of a mobile data network used by the electronic device is as follows:

acquiring a short message related to a flow package stored in the electronic equipment; analyzing the short message to obtain at least one keyword; when the at least one keyword contains a preset keyword, determining that a flow package of a mobile data network used by the electronic equipment is an unlimited flow package, wherein the preset keyword is associated with the unlimited flow package; and when the at least one keyword does not contain a preset keyword, determining that the flow package of the mobile data network used by the electronic equipment is not a non-flow-limiting package.

The preset keywords are, for example, unlimited amount, high-speed flow, low-speed flow, and the like.

In an implementation of the present application, before determining that a remaining flow of the high-speed flow of the unrestricted flow package is less than the first threshold, the method further comprises:

sending a traffic query request to an operator, wherein the traffic query request is used for requesting to query traffic use information of the electronic equipment; and receiving traffic use information sent by the operator for the traffic query request, wherein the traffic use information comprises the residual traffic of the high-speed traffic of the unlimited traffic package.

The traffic query request may be, for example, a preset short message, a preset WeChat message, or a preset telephone number. For example, the call inquiry method of the traffic use information of the china mobile is call 10086 and dialing 2, and the short message inquiry method is sending 103 to 10086; the call query method of the traffic use information of China Unicom is call 10011, and the short message query method is sending cxll to 10010; the call inquiry method of the traffic utilization information of the Chinese telecommunication is call 10000, and the short message inquiry method is sending 108 to 10001.

It can be seen that, in the embodiment of the application, the traffic use information of the electronic device is determined by sending the traffic query request to the operator, so that the accuracy of information acquisition is ensured.

In an implementation manner of the present application, a specific implementation manner of determining a traffic package of a mobile data network used by the electronic device is as follows: under a first condition, determining a flow package of a mobile data network used by the electronic equipment; the first condition includes at least one of: and no other connectable Wi-Fi network except the currently used Wi-Fi network exists, the number of the currently running applications is larger than or equal to a second threshold value, and the current running application in the foreground is a preset application.

Wherein, no other connectable Wi-Fi network comprises a Wi-Fi network which can be received but can not be connected, a Wi-Fi network which can not be received, and the like. The second threshold may be a threshold set by the system or a threshold set by the user, and may be, for example, 5, 8, 10, or other values. The preset application may be, for example, a video application, a game application, an audio application, or other applications.

when the flow package is not a non-flow-limiting package, continuously detecting the network quality of the Wi-Fi network currently used by the electronic equipment; when detecting that the network quality of the Wi-Fi network currently used by the electronic equipment is still less than or equal to a preset network quality, detecting network connection information of a router associated with the Wi-Fi network, wherein the network connection information comprises at least one of the following: frequency band, bandwidth, channel; and adjusting the network connection information of the router.

Among them, there are two common frequency bands: a 2.4G band and a 5G band. The frequency range of the 2.4G frequency band is 2.4 GHZ-2.4835 GHZ. The frequency range of 5G is 5.15 GHZ-5.825 GHZ. Wherein a channel refers to an operating channel of a router. The 2.4G frequency band is provided with 14 channels in total, but only the first 13 channels are allowed to be used in China. Each channel is 22MHZ wide, only 20MHZ is actually used to transmit data, and 2MHZ is used to isolate the channels. 2.4G is available at 83.5MHZ, and there is mostly overlap between channels. The center frequencies of each channel are spaced 5MHZ apart. 2.4 mapping of channels, center frequencies and frequency ranges in GH is shown in Table 1.

TABLE 1

Channel with a plurality of channels	Center frequency (MHZ)	Frequency range (MHZ)
01	2412	2401-2423
02	2417	2406-2428
03	2422	2411-2433
04	2427	2416-2438
05	2432	2421-2443
06	2437	2426-2448
07	2442	2431-453
08	2447	2426-2448
09	2452	2441-2463
10	2457	2446-2468
11	2462	2451-2473
12	2467	2456-2478
13	2472	2461-2483

The bandwidth is divided into 20MHz and 40 MHz. Since there is mostly overlap between channels, there is collision between channels, and the transmission efficiency of 40MHZ bandwidth is lower than that of 20MHZ bandwidth.

Further, a specific implementation manner for adjusting the network connection information is as follows:

detecting the number of electronic equipment accessing to a channel; acquiring a management website, a login account and a login password of the router; and switching the current channel of the router to the channel with the least access to the electronic equipment.
