All other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments in the present application without making any creative effort belong to the protection scope of the present application.

It should be noted that the terms "comprises" and "comprising," and any variations thereof, in the embodiments of the present application, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, system, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of steps or elements is not necessarily limited to those steps or elements expressly listed, but may include other steps or elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

The embodiment of the application discloses a network connection method and device, terminal equipment and a storage medium, which can realize network connection of double operating systems of the terminal equipment through a set of wireless modules, thereby reducing the power consumption of the terminal equipment.

The following detailed description is made with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic view of an application scenario of a network connection method disclosed in an embodiment of the present application, and includes a terminal device 10 and a target network device 20. A wireless module (not shown) may be disposed on the terminal device 10, and the terminal device 10 may establish a wireless network connection with the target network device 20 through the wireless module. Specifically, the terminal device 10 may have an operating system installed thereon, and a user may set networking on the operating system, or the operating system may automatically initiate networking to communicate with the target network device 20 through the wireless module, so as to establish a wireless network connection.

For example, the terminal device 10 may include various devices or systems with wireless communication functions, such as a mobile phone, a smart wearable device, an in-vehicle terminal, a tablet Computer, a PC (Personal Computer), a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), and the like, and is not limited in this embodiment. It should be noted that the terminal device 10 shown in fig. 1 is a watch, which is merely an example and does not constitute a limitation on the device type of the terminal device 10 in the embodiment of the present application. The target network device 20 may include network devices such as base stations based on various mobile communication technologies, and correspond to Wireless network types that the Wireless module on the terminal device 10 can be connected to, for example, a Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity ) router, an LTE (Long Term Evolution, long Term Evolution) base station, an NR (New Radio) base station, and the like. In some embodiments, the target network device 20 may further include other terminal devices capable of establishing a wireless network connection with the terminal device 10, such as a terminal device capable of providing a Wi-Fi signal as a Wi-Fi hotspot, a terminal device capable of providing a bluetooth signal as a bluetooth signal transceiver, and so on.

Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a schematic diagram illustrating a modularization of a terminal device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 2, the terminal device 10 may have a first operating system 101 and a second operating system 102, where the first operating system 101 and the second operating system 102 may be communicatively connected, and the second operating system 102 may establish a wireless network connection with the target network device 20 through the wireless module 11 of the terminal device 10.

In one embodiment, the terminal device 10 may have at least two processor cores, and the two processor cores may be respectively disposed on two processors, or may be disposed on the same processor (i.e., a multi-core processor). Furthermore, each processor core may run an operating system and execute instructions corresponding to the operating system. As shown in fig. 2, the first operating system 101 may run on the first kernel 12, the second operating system 102 may run on the second kernel 13, and a communication channel may be provided between the first kernel 12 and the second kernel 13, so that the first operating system 101 and the second operating system 102 establish a communication connection. In addition, a communication pipe may be provided between the second core 13 and the wireless module 11, so that the second operating system 102 can perform wireless data transmission with the target network device 20 through the wireless module 11. Optionally, the first kernel 12 may be a large kernel (i.e., a processor kernel with relatively strong operation capability) configured to run the first operating system 101 for implementing various high-performance functions (including web browsing, audio/video call, application program usage, and the like); the second core 13 may be a corelet (i.e., a relatively less computationally powerful processor core) for running the second operating system 102 that implements various basic functions, including network connectivity, gathering sensor data, etc. By constructing a framework of a double-operation system by large and small cores, the operation resources of the processor can be distributed according to different functional requirements, so that the terminal equipment can simultaneously keep good performance and power consumption.

In this embodiment, after the second operating system 102 on the terminal device 10 establishes the wireless network connection with the target network device 20 through the wireless module 11, the first operating system 101 may send a network proxy request to the second operating system 102, and the second operating system 102 may establish the network proxy connection between the second operating system 102 and the first operating system 101 according to the network proxy request, so that the first operating system 101 may perform wireless data transmission with the target network device 20 through the second operating system 102 through the network proxy connection. By implementing the method, the network connection of the dual operating systems on the terminal device 10 can be realized by using one set of wireless module 11 in an agent manner, thereby avoiding the situation that in the related art, in order to enable each operating system in the terminal device with the dual operating systems or multiple operating systems to be capable of connecting with a network, multiple sets of wireless modules need to be set, which leads to the situation that when the terminal device switches the operating systems, the wireless module used by the current operating system needs to be closed first, and then the wireless module corresponding to the other operating system needs to be opened, thereby inevitably causing the temporary interruption of the network connection. In fact, wireless network connection is directly realized for the second operating system 102 of the terminal device 10 by only setting one set of wireless module 11, and networking is indirectly provided for the first operating system 101 by proxy, such a network connection mode is simpler in hardware design, when the operating systems need to be switched, corresponding wireless data transmission is only carried out by proxy without temporarily interrupting network connection, the networking requirements of the terminal device dual operating systems are met, the stability and reliability of network connection of the terminal device are effectively improved, and meanwhile, the design and manufacturing cost of the terminal device is also reduced.

It is understood that the terminal device 10 may also have more than two processor cores, so that more than two operating systems can be installed, and network connection is performed in a similar manner to the dual operating systems, so as to meet the networking requirement of the multiple operating systems of the terminal device.

To better describe an application scenario of the embodiment of the present application, fig. 3 discloses a timing chart of a network connection method of the embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 3, the terminal device 10 may have a first operating system 101 and a second operating system 102, and the method may include:

302. the first operating system 101 responds to a network connection instruction aiming at the first operating system 101 to initiate wireless network connection; or

The second operating system 102 initiates a wireless network connection in response to a network connection instruction for the second operating system 102.

Specifically, in one embodiment, the terminal device 10 may run the first operating system 101 in the foreground (i.e., interacting with the user primarily through the first operating system 101) while the first operating system 101 is in an active state. A user may set networking through the first operating system 101, or the first operating system 101 automatically initiates networking, so as to generate a network connection instruction for the first operating system 101, and then the first operating system 101 may initiate wireless network connection in response to the network connection instruction, and establish wireless network connection in subsequent steps by the second operating system 102. It is understood that the second operating system 102 may also be active at this time.

In another embodiment, the terminal device 10 may also run the second operating system 102 in the foreground (i.e., interact with the user mainly through the second operating system 102), while the second operating system 102 is in the active state. A user may set networking through the second operating system 102, or the second operating system 102 automatically initiates networking, so as to generate a network connection instruction for the second operating system 102, and then the second operating system 102 may initiate wireless network connection in response to the network connection instruction, and establish wireless network connection in subsequent steps. It is noted that the first operating system 101 may be in an active state or an inactive state (i.e., a sleeping state).

304. The second operating system 102 is connected with the wireless module target network device 20 establishes a wireless network connection.

When the step 302 is that the first operating system 101 initiates the wireless network connection, the second operating system 102 may first obtain the wireless network connection information transmitted by the first operating system 101, and then establish the wireless network connection with the target network device 20 through the wireless module according to the wireless network connection information. When the second operating system 102 initiates the wireless network connection in step 302, the second operating system 102 may directly obtain the wireless network connection information, and then establish the wireless network connection with the target network device 20 through the wireless module according to the wireless network connection information.

306. The first operating system 101 sends a network proxy request to the second operating system 102.

In this embodiment, the second operating system 102 may directly perform wireless data transmission with the target network device 20 through the wireless module, and then, in a case that the second operating system 102 has established a wireless network connection with the target network device 20, the first operating system 101 may send a network proxy request to the second operating system 102, so as to indirectly perform wireless data transmission with the target network device 20 in a proxy manner.

308. The second operating system 102 establishes a network proxy connection between the second operating system 102 and the first operating system 101 according to the network proxy request.

Illustratively, the network proxy connection between the second operating system 102 and the first operating system 101 may be a forward proxy, i.e. the terminal device 10 may not disclose its information with dual operating systems to the target network device 20. As for the target network device 20, whether it actually performs wireless data transmission with the first operating system 101 or with the second operating system 102, it is considered that the target network device 20 performs communication with the second operating system 102, so as to reduce the complexity of implementing dual-operating-system networking by the terminal device 10, and facilitate improving the network connection efficiency of the terminal device 10.

310. The first operating system 101 performs wireless data transfer with the target network device 20 via the second operating system 102 through the network proxy connection.

Specifically, the first operating system 101 may transmit wireless data to the second operating system 102 through the network proxy connection, and then the second operating system 102 transmits the received wireless data to the target network device 20. Meanwhile, the target network device 20 may also transmit the network data addressed to the first operating system 101 to the second operating system 102, and then the second operating system 102 transmits the received network data to the first operating system 101 according to the network proxy connection.

By implementing the method described in the above embodiment, different operating systems of the terminal device can be connected to the network through a set of wireless modules together in a proxy manner, and even if the operating systems need to be switched, the wireless modules do not need to be restarted in such a network connection manner, and only the corresponding wireless data transmission needs to be performed through the proxy without temporarily interrupting the network connection, so that the networking requirements of the dual operating systems of the terminal device are met, and the stability and reliability of the network connection of the terminal device are effectively improved.

Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a schematic flowchart of a network connection method disclosed in an embodiment of the present application, where the network connection method may be applied to the terminal device, and the terminal device has a first operating system and a second operating system, and a communication connection may be established between the first operating system and the second operating system. As shown in fig. 4, the network connection method may include the steps of:

402. and under the condition that the second operating system establishes wireless network connection with the target network equipment through the wireless module, the first operating system sends a network proxy request to the second operating system.

In this embodiment of the application, the first operating system may include an upper operating system capable of implementing various high-performance functions (including web browsing, audio/video call, application program usage, and the like) on the terminal device, such as an Android operating system, an iOS operating system, and the like; the second operating system may include an underlying operating system capable of implementing basic functions (including network connection, collecting sensor data, etc.) on the terminal device, such as an embedded operating system on the terminal device. Specifically, the first operating system and the second operating system may be respectively disposed on two processor cores of the terminal device, and the processor core where the second operating system is located may be connected to the wireless module of the terminal device, so that the second operating system may directly establish wireless network connection with a target network device other than the terminal device through the wireless module, so as to implement a network connection function of the bottom layer of the terminal device.

After the second operating system successfully establishes the wireless network connection with the target network device through the wireless module, the first operating system of the terminal device may send a network proxy request to the second operating system. The network agent request may be used to implement a network agent connection between the first operating system and the second operating system, so that the first operating system can also communicate with the target network device in a manner of acting through the second operating system. In one embodiment, the second operating system may actively notify the first operating system in the case of establishing a wireless network connection with the target network device, so that the first operating system sends a network proxy request to the second operating system; in another embodiment, the first operating system may also actively monitor the network connection status of the second operating system continuously, and actively send a network proxy request to the second operating system when it is monitored that the second operating system establishes a wireless network connection with the target network device.

Specifically, for example, the wireless module may include a Wi-Fi module of the terminal device, so that the second operating system may establish a Wi-Fi connection with a target network device (e.g., a Wi-Fi base station, a Wi-Fi hotspot provided by other terminal devices, etc.). When the second operating system is successfully connected with the Wi-Fi, the first operating system may send a network proxy request to the second operating system through the passive triggering or active triggering, so that in the next step, the second operating system is used as a Wi-Fi proxy terminal, and the Wi-Fi connection between the first operating system and the target network device is indirectly achieved. It is understood that the wireless module may also include a bluetooth module, a data connection (e.g., 4G data connection, 5G data connection, etc.) module, etc. of the terminal device, so that the first operating system may send a corresponding network proxy request to the second operating system according to different wireless network connection types.

It should be noted that, in some embodiments, the power consumption of the second operating system during operation may be lower than the power consumption of the first operating system during operation, and the terminal device performs actual communication with the target network device through the second operating system, which may reduce the time required to actually operate the first operating system, that is, only the second operating system needs to be operated in a partial communication scenario, thereby reducing the overall power consumption of the terminal device.

404. And the second operating system establishes the network proxy connection between the second operating system and the first operating system according to the network proxy request.

In this embodiment, after receiving the network proxy request sent by the first operating system, the second operating system may parse the network proxy request, and establish a network proxy connection between the second operating system and the first operating system by using the second operating system as a proxy according to proxy configuration information obtained through parsing.

Specifically, the network proxy request sent by the first operating system may include a proxy request packet, where the proxy request packet may include various proxy configuration information (such as proxy address information, port information, and data format information) required by the second operating system to establish a network proxy connection, so that the second operating system may reset a rule for the second operating system to send and receive the packet according to the proxy configuration information, so as to redirect the packet sent by the first operating system to the second operating system to the target network device, and redirect the packet sent by the target network device to the second operating system to the first operating system, so as to establish a network proxy connection between the second operating system and the first operating system, and the first operating system may indirectly implement wireless data transmission with the target network device through the network proxy connection.

406. The first operating system is connected with the target network device through the network proxy and performs wireless data transmission with the target network device through the second operating system.

After the network proxy connection between the second operating system and the first operating system is successfully established, the first operating system and the target network device can realize wireless data transmission through the second operating system serving as a proxy end. It should be noted that, the network proxy connection is a forward proxy, that is, the terminal device may not disclose the information that it has the dual operating system to the target network device, and the target network device merely transmits the data packet sent by the terminal device to the terminal device, and does not specify the flow direction of the data packet in the dual operating system of the terminal device.

For example, the second operating system may transmit the data packet sent by the first operating system to the target network device and transmit the data packet sent by the target network device to the first operating system according to the network proxy connection. For example, when the wireless network connection is a Wi-Fi connection, the first operating system may transmit a Wi-Fi data packet, which needs to be sent to a target network device (e.g., a Wi-Fi base station, a Wi-Fi hotspot provided by other terminal devices, etc.), to the second operating system, and then the second operating system processes the Wi-Fi data packet according to the network proxy connection, and transmits the Wi-Fi data packet to the target network device; meanwhile, the target network device can also transmit the Wi-Fi data packet which needs to be sent to the first operating system to the second operating system, and the second operating system carries out reverse processing on the Wi-Fi data packet according to the network proxy connection and then transmits the Wi-Fi data packet to the first operating system.

It can be understood that, the first operating system and the second operating system may communicate with each other through a special communication pipeline, so as to improve data transmission efficiency. In an embodiment, the first operating system and the second operating system may be communicatively connected through a Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI), so that a network proxy request sent by the first operating system to the second operating system, or wireless data and other data transmitted between the first operating system and the second operating system may be performed through the SPI, which is beneficial to improving efficiency and stability of data transmission, and further improving network connection quality of the terminal device.

Therefore, by implementing the network connection method described in the above embodiment, different operating systems of the terminal device can be connected to the network through a set of wireless module in a proxy manner, which not only meets the networking requirement of the dual operating systems of the terminal device, but also effectively improves the stability and reliability of the network connection of the terminal device, and is beneficial to reducing the heat generated by the terminal device and reducing the dead halt probability; in addition, the network connection efficiency of the terminal equipment is improved by realizing the network connection method with relatively simple operation.

Referring to fig. 5, fig. 5 is a schematic flowchart of another network connection method disclosed in the embodiment of the present application, where the network connection method may be applied to the terminal device, and the terminal device has a first operating system and a second operating system, and a communication connection may be established between the first operating system and the second operating system. As shown in fig. 5, the network connection method may include the steps of:

502. the first operating system responds to the network connection instruction aiming at the first operating system to acquire the wireless network connection information.

Illustratively, the wireless network connection information may include address information of the target network device (e.g., IP address information, address alias, etc.), authentication information (e.g., password, etc.), configuration information (e.g., network connection port, supported protocol, etc.), and the like. The network connection instruction may include a setting instruction detected by a first operating system when a user sets networking in the first operating system; the method also comprises a control instruction which is actively sent by the first operating system when the first operating system actively initiates networking. Therefore, when a user sets networking in the first operating system or the first operating system actively initiates networking, the first operating system can respond to the network connection instruction, acquire the wireless network connection information through the first operating system, and further trigger the second operating system to establish wireless network connection with the target network device according to the wireless network connection information in subsequent steps.

In an embodiment, after receiving a network connection instruction for the first operating system, the first operating system may trigger the second operating system to scan network devices connectable nearby in response to the network connection instruction, and further acquire wireless network connection information corresponding to a target network device therein. Illustratively, a first operating system may send a wireless scan request to a second operating system in response to a network connection instruction for the first operating system. After receiving the wireless scanning request, the second operating system may scan nearby connectable network devices (e.g., wi-Fi base stations corresponding to Wi-Fi networks, wi-Fi hotspots provided by other terminal devices, etc.) in response to the wireless scanning request, and feed back the connectable network devices to the first operating system. On the basis, the first operating system can determine the target network device from the connectable network devices fed back by the second operating system, and acquire the address information and the verification information of the target network device. Alternatively, the process of determining the target network device may be determined according to the network connection quality corresponding to each network device in the connectable network devices (for example, the network device with the highest network connection speed is determined as the target network device, the network device with the most stable network connection is determined as the target network device, and the like).

In another embodiment, the network connection instruction may also include a target network device selected by the user, so that the first operating system may directly acquire the target network device selected by the user and acquire the wireless network connection information corresponding to the target network device after receiving the network connection instruction for the first operating system. For example, when the first operating system sets networking, the user may select a target network device from a network device list stored in the first operating system, where the network device list may be generated according to a history of the terminal device connecting to the network, and is obtained by screening according to an actual geographic location of the terminal device (that is, obtaining a network device that has been connected near the terminal device). On the basis, the first operating system can acquire the corresponding address information and the verification information stored in the first operating system according to the target network equipment selected by the user, so that the user does not need to repeatedly input verification information such as passwords, the second operating system can be triggered in subsequent steps to quickly realize wireless network connection, and the network connection efficiency of the terminal equipment is improved.

504. The first operating system sends the wireless network connection information to the second operating system.

In the embodiment of the present application, since the processor core where the second operating system is located is connected to the wireless module of the terminal device, an actual wireless network connection needs to be established in the second operating system. On the basis, the first operating system can send the wireless network connection information acquired by the first operating system to the second operating system. Optionally, the first operating system may send the wireless network connection information to the second operating system quickly and stably through an SPI channel between the first operating system and the second operating system, so as to ensure reliability of network connection of the terminal device.

506. And the second operating system establishes wireless network connection with target network equipment through a wireless module according to the wireless network connection information, wherein the target network equipment corresponds to the wireless network connection information.

For example, when the wireless network connection information includes address information and verification information corresponding to the target network device, the second operating system may generate a corresponding network connection request according to the address information and the verification information, and send the network connection request to the target network device through the wireless module. After receiving the network connection request, the target network device may parse the address information and the verification information from the network connection request. Based on the address information, the target network device may determine to verify the verification information (the network connection request with unmatched address information is discarded), and may establish a wireless network connection with the second operating system when the verification information matches the target network device.

508. The second operating system sends the network connection status of the second operating system to the first operating system.

When the second operating system successfully establishes the wireless network connection with the target network device, the second operating system can acquire the network connection state of the second operating system and send the network connection state to the first operating system, so that the first operating system can be triggered to send a network agent request to the second operating system in subsequent steps in time, and the networking efficiency of the first operating system is improved.

Optionally, when the second operating system does not successfully establish the wireless network connection with the target network device, the second operating system may also obtain a current network connection state of the second operating system, and send the network connection state to the first operating system. When the first operating system determines that the second operating system does not successfully establish the wireless network connection according to the network connection state, prompting can be performed on a user, such as pop-up window prompting, acousto-optic prompting, vibration prompting and the like, so that the user can be timely reminded of knowing about the abnormal situation of the network connection, whether the target network device is replaced or not can be further determined, and the reliability of the terminal device and the dual operating systems for connecting the network can be ensured.

510. And when the first operating system determines that the second operating system successfully establishes the wireless network connection according to the network connection state, sending a network agent request to the second operating system.

Wherein step 510 is similar to step 402 described above. It should be noted that the first operating system may first determine its own network connection status sent by the second operating system, and send the network proxy request to the second operating system only when it is determined that the second operating system establishes the wireless network connection with the target network device.

512. And the second operating system establishes the network proxy connection between the second operating system and the first operating system according to the network proxy request.

514. The first operating system is connected with the target network device through the network proxy and performs wireless data transmission with the target network device through the second operating system.

606. And when the second operating system needs to be switched to the first operating system, the second operating system sends a wake-up instruction to the first operating system.

In this embodiment of the present application, the terminal device may run the second operating system in the foreground, and at this time, the first operating system may be in a sleep state. It is worth noting that in some embodiments, the power consumption of the second operating system during operation may be lower than the power consumption of the first operating system during operation, so that when the terminal device operates the second operating system in the foreground, the power consumption of the terminal may be effectively reduced, and the functions of saving power and improving the endurance time are achieved.

Referring to fig. 7, fig. 7 is a schematic flowchart of another network connection method disclosed in the embodiment of the present application, where the network connection method may be applied to the terminal device, and the terminal device has a first operating system and a second operating system, and a communication connection may be established between the first operating system and the second operating system. As shown in fig. 7, the network connection method may include the steps of:

702. the first operating system sends a wireless scanning request to the second operating system in response to a network connection instruction for the first operating system.

704. The second operating system responds to the wireless scanning request, scans the connectable network equipment and feeds back the connectable network equipment to the first operating system.

706. And the first operating system determines a target network device from the connectable network devices fed back by the second operating system, and acquires the address information and the verification information of the target network device.

Step 702, step 704, and step 706 are similar to step 502 described above, and are not described here again.

708. And the first operating system sends the address information and the verification information to a second operating system.

710. And the second operating system establishes wireless network connection with the target network equipment through the wireless module according to the address information and the verification information.

712. The second operating system sends the network connection status of the second operating system to the first operating system.

Step 708, step 710 and step 712 are similar to step 504, step 506 and step 508, and are not described herein again.

714.

It should be noted that the network proxy request may include proxy address information, and the proxy address information may include a specified IP address agreed by the first operating system and the second operating system for implementing the network proxy connection between the two operating systems. The second operating system may determine, according to the proxy address information, a corresponding data packet sent from the first operating system to the target network device and a data packet sent from the target network device to the first operating system from among a large number of data packets flowing through the second operating system, so as to process the data packets in subsequent steps, thereby implementing proxy network connection.

716. And the second operating system establishes the network proxy connection between the second operating system and the first operating system according to the network proxy request.

Step 716 is similar to step 404, and will not be described herein again.

718. And the second operating system transmits the data to be transmitted of the first operating system to the target network equipment according to the proxy address information.

Specifically, when the first operating system needs to send data to be transmitted to the target network device, the first operating system may package the data to be transmitted according to the proxy address information to obtain an original data packet, and send the original data packet to the second operating system. On this basis, when receiving the original data packet containing the proxy address information, the second operating system may perform address conversion processing on the original data packet to obtain a proxy transmission data packet, and transmit the proxy transmission data packet to the target network device through the wireless module. The address conversion processing may include replacing the proxy address information in the original data packet with address information corresponding to the terminal device itself, so as to unify source addresses of the terminal device during wireless data transmission, thereby implementing proxy sending of wireless data.

Illustratively, the first operating system may agree with the second operating system for proxy address information P1, and the proxy address information P1 may be designated by a user or may be automatically generated by the first operating system. When the first operating system needs to send the data to be transmitted to the target network device, the data to be transmitted may be packaged into an original data packet, and the proxy address information P1 is written into the packet header of the original data packet. When receiving the original data packet, the second operating system may obtain the proxy address information P1 by unpacking, and replace the proxy address information P1 with the address information P2 corresponding to the terminal device itself to obtain a proxy transmission data packet, and transmit the proxy transmission data packet to the target network device.

720. And the second operating system transmits the network data of the target network equipment to the first operating system according to the proxy address information.

Specifically, when the target network device needs to send network data to the first operating system, the second operating system receives an agent reception data packet sent by the target network device through the wireless module, and performs reverse address conversion processing on the agent reception data packet according to the agent address information to obtain a network data packet. On the basis, the second operating system may send the network data packet to the first operating system, so that the first operating system obtains the network data of the target network device from the network data packet. The inverse address conversion processing may include replacing address information corresponding to the terminal device in the proxy reception packet with proxy address information, so as to unify a destination address of the terminal device during wireless data transmission, thereby implementing proxy reception of wireless data.

Illustratively, when the target network device sends the proxy reception packet to the second operating system, the second operating system may unpack the proxy reception packet to obtain the address information P2 corresponding to the terminal device itself. According to the network proxy connection, the second operating system may replace the address information P2 with the proxy address information P1, that is, generate a new network data packet according to the proxy address information P1 and the network data of the target network device, and send the new network data packet to the first operating system.

Therefore, by implementing the network connection method described in the above embodiment, different operating systems of the terminal device can be connected to the network through a set of wireless modules in a proxy manner, which not only meets the networking requirements of the dual operating systems of the terminal device, but also effectively improves the stability and reliability of the network connection of the terminal device; in addition, by setting the proxy address information, the second operating system as the proxy end can accurately acquire the data packet which needs to be sent to the first operating system or the target network device in a network proxy mode, and correspondingly process the data packet so as to realize reliable network proxy connection, thereby being beneficial to improving the reliability and the safety of the networking of the dual operating systems of the terminal device.
