As shown in fig. 1a, the terminal 11, the terminal 12 and the terminal 13 are under the same local area network and all perform network communication through the routing device 21. If the network signal of the network provided by the routing device 21 is unstable, one of the terminals 11, 12 and 13, such as the terminal 11, may determine a terminal with strong network capability, such as the terminal 13, and determine a terminal with poor network capability, such as the terminal 12, based on the network capability of each terminal. The terminal 11 may then communicate with the terminal 13, causing the terminal 13 to initiate network sharing. After the terminal 13 starts network sharing, the terminal 11 may communicate with the terminal 12 to send information of the terminal 13, such as an IP address, to the terminal 12. Thereafter, as shown in fig. 1b, the terminal 12 may change its network configuration information, such as gateway information, DNS information, etc., according to the information of the terminal 13, thereby taking the terminal 13 as the next hop route of the terminal 12, so that the terminal 12 may perform network communication through the terminal 13.

After the terminal 14 starts network sharing, the terminal 11 may communicate with the terminal 13 to send information of the terminal 14, such as an IP address, to the terminal 13. Thereafter, as shown in fig. 2b, the terminal 13 may change its network configuration information, such as gateway information, DNS information, etc., according to the information of the terminal 14, thereby taking the terminal 14 as the next hop route of the terminal 13, so that the terminal 13 may perform network communication through the terminal 14. Therefore, by means of the dynamic route adjustment mode, network transmission delay is reduced, network transmission efficiency is improved, and internet surfing experience is further improved.

The camera 193 is used to capture still images or videos, for example, capture facial feature information, posture feature information, and the like of a person. The object passes through the lens to generate an optical image which is projected onto the photosensitive element. The photosensitive element may be a charge coupled device (charge coupled device, CCD) or a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (ComplementaryMetalOxideSemiconductor, CMOS) phototransistor. The photosensitive element converts the optical signal into an electrical signal, which is then transferred to the ISP to be converted into a digital image signal. The ISP outputs the digital image signal to the DSP for processing. The DSP converts the digital image signal into an image signal in a standard RGB, YUV, or the like format. In some examples, terminal 100 may include one or more cameras 193.

The temperature sensor 180J is for detecting temperature. In some examples, terminal 100 performs 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 terminal 100 performs a reduction in performance of a processor located near the temperature sensor 180J in order to reduce power consumption for implementing thermal protection. In other embodiments, when the temperature is below another threshold, the terminal 100 heats the battery 142 to avoid the terminal 100 from being abnormally shut down due to low temperatures. In other embodiments, when the temperature is below a further threshold, terminal 100 performs boosting of the output voltage of battery 142 to avoid abnormal shutdown caused by low temperatures.

(1) Determining dynamically adjustable routing terminal

The user can preset the terminal capable of dynamically adjusting the route so as to improve the network security. For example, a trusted group is created, wherein group members in the trusted group can dynamically adjust the route.

For example, in a first scenario, with continued reference to fig. 1a, terminal 11, terminal 12 and terminal 13 are all in network communication via routing device 21. At this time, the owner of the terminal 11 may create a trusted group through the terminal 11, as shown in fig. 5a, may select "create a trusted group" from "route settings" in the terminal 11, and then, as shown in fig. 5b, may generate a graphic code, such as a two-dimensional code, on the terminal 11, where the graphic code may include group information such as an identity identifier and a password of the trusted group; then, the other terminals can join the trusted group created by the terminal 11 by scanning the graphic code. It will be appreciated that the terminal 11 may be referred to as a group owner and that other terminals in the trusted group may be referred to as group members. In addition, in addition to sharing the group information of the trusted group by using the graphic code, other manners may be used for sharing, for example, after the owner of the terminal 11 selects "create the trusted group", the terminal 11 may generate a group link; thereafter, the owner of the terminal 11 may send the group link to the terminals 12 and 13 by means of a short message or the like; finally, the terminal 12 and the terminal 13 click on the group link, i.e. can join the trusted group. It should be understood that the group link includes group information such as an identity, a password, etc. of the trusted group.

In a second scenario, with continued reference to fig. 2a, terminal 11 opens a network hotspot, and terminals 12, 13 and 14 together use the network hotspot opened by terminal 11 for network communication. At this time, as shown in fig. 5c, the owner of the terminal 11 may choose to turn on the hot spot and set the password. Thereafter, as shown in fig. 5b, the terminal 11 may generate a graphic code, such as a two-dimensional code, where the graphic code may include personal hotspot information such as an id of the hotspot (i.e. the wireless network), a password, and an id of the trusted group. Then, the other terminals can join the wireless network and trusted group created by the terminal 11 by scanning the graphic code. It will be appreciated that the terminal 11 may be referred to as a group owner and that other terminals in the trusted group may be referred to as group members. In addition, other manners may be used to share the personal hotspot information besides using the graphic code, for example, after the owner of the terminal 11 selects to turn on the hotspot, the terminal 11 may generate a hotspot link; thereafter, the owner of the terminal 11 may send the hot spot link to the terminals 12 and 13 by means of short messages or the like; finally, the terminals 12 and 13 click on the hot spot link, i.e. can join the wireless network and trusted group created by the joining terminal 11. It should be understood that the hotspot link includes personal hotspot information such as an identity of the hotspot (i.e., the wireless network), a password, and an identity of the trusted group.

(2) Determining network capabilities of terminals in trusted groups

Referring to fig. 6, fig. 6 is a schematic communication diagram for determining network capability of a terminal according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 6, the method comprises the following steps:

step S101, the master terminal and the slave terminal generate respective device status information.

Specifically, the master terminal 11 and the slave terminal 12 may each generate their own device status information in real time or intermittently, where the device status information includes one or more of an operator type, a network signal strength, a network load, a processor load, and an electric quantity. In addition, the device state information can also include an identity of the terminal, so as to distinguish the source of the device state information. The slave terminal 12 may then transmit its own device status information to the master terminal 11.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the master terminal 11 may be understood as a terminal that performs a routing decision, where the routing decision may be understood as determining that one terminal uses a network of another terminal; the slave terminal 12 may be understood as a terminal that does not need to make a routing decision, wherein the slave terminal 12 may be comprised of one or more terminals.

In one example, the master terminal 11 may default to be the group master of the trusted group. Further, each terminal may compete to become the master terminal 11, for example, if one of the terminals has a high data processing capability, it may compete to become the master terminal 11.

Step S102, the slave terminal sends the device state information to the master terminal.

Specifically, the slave terminal 12 may transmit its own device status information to the master terminal 11. In one example, communication data packets between the slave terminal 12 and the master terminal 11 may be forwarded to the respective terminals via a routing device. In another example, the slave terminal 12 and the master terminal 11 may communicate with each other by means of bluetooth, wi-fi direct, universal serial bus (Universal Serial Bus, USB), or the like. It will be appreciated that the user may set the data communication method between the slave terminal 12 and the master terminal 11 in advance, for example, set the communication method in which the data packet is forwarded by the routing device, set the communication method using bluetooth, or the like.

Step S103, the master terminal determines the network capability of each of the master terminal and the slave terminal based on the corresponding device state information of each of the master terminal and the slave terminal.

Specifically, the master terminal 11, upon receiving the device state information of the slave terminal 12, may determine the network capabilities of the respective terminals (i.e., the master terminal 11 and the slave terminal 12) based on its own device state information and the device state information of the slave terminal 12. In one example, weights of different types of information in the equipment state information can be calibrated in advance, and then the different types of information are weighted and combined to obtain the network capability of the terminal; that is, the information included in the device status information of the terminal may be weighted and combined by using the weight distribution factor to obtain the network capability of the terminal.

In some embodiments, in order to reduce the processing load of the master terminal, the device state information transmitted between the master terminal and the slave terminal may be optionally forwarded using a database server. The details are described below.

Referring to fig. 7, fig. 7 is a schematic diagram of another communication for determining network capability of a terminal according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 7, the method comprises the following steps:

step S201, the master terminal generates first device status information.

Step S202, the master terminal sends the first device state information to a database server.

Specifically, the master terminal 11 may transmit its own first device state information to the database server 21 through the network. The first device state information may include one or more of an operator type, a network signal strength, a network load, a processor load, and an electric quantity of the main terminal 11. In addition, the first device status information may further include an identity of the master terminal 11.

Step S203, the database server forwards the first device status information to the slave terminal.

Step S204, generating second device state information from the terminal.

Step S205, the slave terminal transmits the second device status information to the database server.

Specifically, the slave terminal 12 may transmit the second device state information of its own to the database server 21 after generating the second device state information. The second device state information may include one or more of a carrier type, a network signal strength, a network load, a processor load, and an electric quantity of the slave terminal. In addition, the second device state information may further include an identity of the slave terminal 12 and an identity of the master terminal 11; wherein the identity of the slave terminal 12 is a source for facilitating the differentiation of the second device state information by the master terminal 11, and the identity of the master terminal 11 is a forwarding address for facilitating the determination of the second device state information by the database server 21.

Step S206, the database server forwards the second device state information to the main terminal.

Step S207, the master terminal determines the network capability of each of the master terminal and the slave terminal based on the device state information corresponding to each of the master terminal and the slave terminal. For the manner of determining the network capability, see the description above, and will not be repeated here.

In some embodiments, both the master terminal and the slave terminal may determine their own network capabilities based on their own device state information. The slave terminal can send the network capability of the slave terminal to the master terminal, so that the master terminal can directly determine the network capability of the slave terminal without determining the equipment state information of the slave terminal, and then the network capability of the slave terminal is obtained, thereby reducing the processing load of the master terminal and improving the processing efficiency.

In this solution, when determining the network capability of the terminal, the network capability of the terminal may be determined by other devices, for example, a server, where the terminal needs to send its own device state information to a corresponding server, so that the server determines the network capability of the terminal based on the device state information of the terminal. In addition, if the network capability is determined by the terminal itself, the terminal may send its own network capability to the corresponding server so that the server knows the network capability of the terminal.

(3) Routing decisions

After determining the network capabilities of the master terminal and the slave terminal, the master terminal or other devices (such as a server and the like) can determine the terminal with strong network capabilities and the terminal with weak network capabilities according to the network capabilities of the master terminal and the slave terminal. For example, the network capability is ranked based on the strength of the network capability, and then, based on the ranking result, the terminal with strong network capability and the terminal with weak network capability can be determined. For convenience of description, a terminal with strong network capability will be referred to as a first target terminal, and a terminal with weak network capability will be referred to as a second target terminal.

The master terminal or other device (e.g., server) may then send a second message to the first target terminal, which may be used to instruct the first target terminal to initiate network sharing. After the first target terminal successfully starts network sharing, the master terminal or other devices (such as a server and the like) may send a first message to the second target terminal, where the first message may be used to instruct the second target terminal to use the first target terminal as a next hop route, where the first message may include identification information of the first target terminal, where the identification information may carry IP address information of the first target terminal. The second target terminal may then adjust the route based on the first message to take the first target terminal as its next hop route.

In some embodiments, the master terminal may carry the IP address of the second target terminal in the second message, so that after the first target terminal starts network sharing, the first target terminal may directly communicate with the second target terminal, and the message does not need to be forwarded by the master terminal.

In some embodiments, the master terminal or other devices (such as a server) may also determine, based on network information in the environment, etc., a type of network opened by the first target terminal, for example, to open a 4G or 5G network for sharing. For example, if the 4G network signal of the environment in which the master terminal or other device is currently located is stronger than the 5G network signal, the master terminal or other device may determine that the network type turned on by the first target terminal is a 4G network.

It can be understood that the first target terminal may record the initial network configuration information when the network sharing is started, and the network configuration information after the network sharing is started, and restore the network configuration information to the initial network configuration information after the network sharing is ended. Similarly, the second target terminal may record the initial network configuration information before the second target terminal adjusts the route and the network configuration information after the second target terminal adjusts the route, and restore the network configuration information to the initial network configuration information after the first target terminal finishes network sharing.

The following describes an example in which the master terminal sends a message for instructing to start network sharing and network borrowing.

Fig. 8 is a communication schematic diagram of a terminal indicating network sharing and network borrowing according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 8, the method comprises the following steps:

step S301, the master terminal sends a second message to the first target terminal.

Specifically, the master terminal 11 may send the second message to the first target terminal 13 after making the routing decision. The second message may be used to instruct the first target terminal 13 to turn on network sharing.

Step S302, a first target terminal starts network sharing.

Specifically, after the first target terminal 13 receives the second message, network sharing is started. The first target terminal 13 may configure a routing forwarding function in its system kernel, for example, turn on an IP forwarding function, turn on a DNS forwarding function, turn on a NET forwarding function, and the like.

Step S303, the first target terminal feeds back a third message to the main terminal.

Specifically, after the first target terminal 13 successfully starts network sharing, the third message is fed back to the master terminal 11. The third message includes information that the first target terminal 13 has successfully opened network sharing.

Step S304, the main terminal sends a first message to the second target terminal.

Specifically, after knowing that the first target terminal 13 has successfully turned on network sharing, the master terminal 11 may send a first message to the second target terminal 14. The first message may include identification information of the first target terminal 13, where the identification information may carry IP address information of the first target terminal 13. Wherein the first message may be used to instruct the second target terminal 14 to route the first target terminal as a next hop.

Step S305, the second target terminal adjusts the route.

Specifically, after the second target terminal 14 receives the first message, the route may be adjusted, so that the first target terminal 13 is used as the next hop route. In one example, when the second target terminal 14 adjusts the route, the IP address information of the first target terminal 13 may be used as gateway information thereof, and the system kernel of the second target terminal 14 automatically obtains corresponding DNS information, so as to implement the next-hop route using the first target terminal 13 as the second target terminal. For example, as shown in fig. 9a, the initial gateway of the second target terminal 14 is 192.168.1.11, and the initial DNS is 1.1.1.1; if the IP address information of the first target terminal 13 is 192.168.2.21, as shown in fig. 9b, the second target terminal 14 may update its gateway to 192.168.2.21, and automatically obtain a new DNS, which is 2.2.2.2.

Step S306, the second target terminal feeds back a fourth message to the main terminal.

Specifically, after the second target terminal 14 successfully adjusts the route, the fourth message may be fed back to the master terminal 11. Wherein the fourth message comprises information that the second target terminal 14 has successfully adjusted the route.

It can be understood that if the first target terminal 13 fails to feed back the start-up, the first target terminal may be redetermined, for example, a terminal with a stronger network capability may be selected as the first target terminal, which may be specific to the actual situation and is not limited herein.

In some embodiments, the master terminal or other device (e.g., a server) may send the first message directly to the second target terminal after determining the first target terminal and the second target terminal. At this time, after receiving the first message, the second target terminal may communicate with the first target terminal to use the first target terminal as its next hop route. For easy understanding, fig. 10 is a schematic diagram of communication between terminals according to an embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 10, and includes the following steps:

step S401, the second target terminal sends a fifth message to the first target terminal.

Specifically, after receiving the first message, the second target terminal 14 may directly communicate with the first target terminal 13, and may send a fifth message to the first target terminal 13, where the fifth message may be used to instruct the first target terminal 13 to start network sharing.

In step S402, the first target terminal starts network sharing.

Step S403, the first target terminal feeds back the third message to the second target terminal.

And step S404, the second target terminal adjusts the route.

In some embodiments, after the second target terminal adjusts the route, it may then be networked through the first target terminal. Specifically, as shown in fig. 11, the method comprises the following steps:

step S501, the second target terminal sends a second data packet to the first target terminal.

Specifically, after the second destination terminal 14 adjusts the route, a second data packet may be sent to the second destination terminal 13, where the second data packet includes the destination network address.

In step S502, the first target terminal forwards the second data packet to the destination host indicated by the destination network address.

Specifically, after receiving the second data packet, the first target terminal 13 may check the destination network address and then look up the routing table. After the first destination terminal 13 finds the routing table entry matching the destination network address, the first destination terminal 13 forwards the second data packet to the destination host 15 indicated by the destination network address according to the egress and interface information indicated by the table.

Based on the network control method in the above embodiment, the embodiment of the present application further provides a network control device.
