Description

Method and device for establishing network connection and electronic equipment

Technical Field

The present application relates to the field of communications, and more particularly, to a method and an apparatus for establishing a network connection in the field of communications, and an electronic device.

Background

With the development of network technology, our lives, studies and works are more and more independent of wireless fidelity (WIFI), and the stability and throughput of WIFI connection become important indexes for evaluating the performance of WIFI.

The functions of WIFI are divided into an Access Point (AP) function, a Station (STA) function, and a point-to-point (P2P) function. The AP function provides wireless access service, allows other wireless devices to access, and provides data access, for example, a wireless router/network bridge and a mobile phone establish a WIFI hotspot function; the STA has the similar function as a wireless terminal, does not accept wireless access, can be connected to the AP and accesses data through the AP; the P2P function allows the connection between two terminals to transfer data to each other, for example, WIFI direct and screen projection.

Most of intelligent terminals in the current market are provided with two WIFI network interfaces, one network interface is fixedly used for realizing the STA function, the other network interface is fixedly used for realizing the P2P function, for example, the terminal is connected with an AP through the STA function to download file data, and is connected with a television through the P2P function to project and play video.

However, when a user uses an existing dual-network interface terminal, only one STA function and one P2P function can be implemented, and in some scenarios, for example, scenarios in which two networks implement one function at the same time, the network connection requirement of the user cannot be met, and the flexibility is poor.

The ISP can also carry out algorithm optimization on the noise, brightness and skin color of the image. The ISP can also optimize parameters such as exposure, color temperature and the like of a shooting scene. In some embodiments, the ISP may be provided in camera 193.

The camera 193 is used to capture still images or video. The object generates an optical image through the lens and projects the optical image to the photosensitive element. The photosensitive element may be a Charge Coupled Device (CCD) or a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) phototransistor. The light sensing element converts the optical signal into an electrical signal, which is then passed to the ISP where it is converted into a digital image signal. And the ISP outputs the digital image signal to the DSP for processing. The DSP converts the digital image signal into image signal in standard RGB, YUV and other formats. In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 may include 1 or more cameras 193.

In some embodiments, the pressure sensor 180A may be disposed on the display screen 194. The pressure sensor 180A can be of a wide variety, such as a resistive pressure sensor, an inductive pressure sensor, a capacitive pressure sensor, and the like. The capacitive pressure sensor may be a sensor comprising at least two parallel plates having an electrically conductive material. When a force acts on the pressure sensor 180A, the capacitance between the electrodes changes. The electronic device 100 determines the strength of the pressure from the change in capacitance. When a touch operation is applied to the display screen 194, the electronic apparatus 100 detects the intensity of the touch operation according to the pressure sensor 180A. The electronic apparatus 100 may also calculate the touched position from the detection signal of the pressure sensor 180A.

The ambient light sensor 180L may also cooperate with the proximity light sensor 180G to detect whether the electronic device 100 is in a pocket to prevent accidental touches.

The fingerprint sensor 180H is used to collect a fingerprint. The electronic device 100 can utilize the collected fingerprint characteristics to unlock the fingerprint, access the application lock, photograph the fingerprint, answer an incoming call with the fingerprint, and so on.

The temperature sensor 180J is used to detect temperature. In some embodiments, electronic device 100 implements a temperature processing strategy using the temperature detected by temperature sensor 180J. For example, when the temperature reported by the temperature sensor 180J exceeds a threshold, the electronic device 100 performs a reduction in performance of a processor located near the temperature sensor 180J, so as to reduce power consumption and implement thermal protection. In other embodiments, the electronic device 100 heats the battery 142 when the temperature is below another threshold to avoid the low temperature causing the electronic device 100 to shut down abnormally. In other embodiments, when the temperature is lower than a further threshold, the electronic device 100 performs boosting on the output voltage of the battery 142 to avoid abnormal shutdown due to low temperature.

The touch sensor 180K is also referred to as a "touch panel". The touch sensor 180K may be disposed on the display screen 194, and the touch sensor 180K and the display screen 194 form a touch screen, which is also called a "touch screen".

The touch sensor can communicate the detected touch operation to the application processor to determine the touch event type. Visual output associated with the touch operation may be provided through the display screen 194.
