Description

Network selection method and related equipment

Technical Field

The present application relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a network selection method and a related device.

Background

A Network Address Translation (NAT) technology, specifically, a NAT device forms a mapping table between an internal device Network Address and an external device Network Address, that is, an NAT table, which can reduce the requirement for the external device Network Address, and can hide the internal device Network Address, thereby playing a role in security isolation.

In the prior art, in order to ensure normal operation of the message push service, the mobile phone and the message push server need to be constantly connected, that is, always kept in a connected state. When the communication link between the mobile phone and the server has no data communication for a certain time, the mobile wireless network operator or the routing gateway eliminates the corresponding item in the NAT table, thereby causing the interruption of the communication link; the certain Time is NAT timeout Time (Aging-Time). Therefore, in order to avoid the interruption of the always-connected link between the handset and the message push server, the heartbeat interval of the always-connected link must be less than the NAT timeout time. In this case, if the setting value of the NAT timeout time is small, in order to keep the constant connection without interruption, the mobile phone may be frequently woken up, which affects the standby time of the mobile phone.

Therefore, how to increase the standby time of the communication device is an urgent problem to be solved at present.

It is explicitly and implicitly understood by a person skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

For ease of understanding, the following description will first refer to related terms related to embodiments of the present application.

(1) NAT table

With respect to Network Address Translation (NAT) technology, since the public IP Address is limited, a gateway can allow a part of users to share different ports of a public IP Address for communication. Illustratively, when the user uses the terminal to carry out communication, the intranet IP address of the gateway is used. After receiving the data packet of the user, the gateway allocates a public network IP address and a random port for the user, and then uses the public network IP address and the random port to communicate with the server. After the server processes the data, the server sends a new data packet to the public network IP address and the random port, namely to the gateway. And after receiving the new data packet, the gateway transmits the new data packet to the user. The NAT table means that the gateway stores the correspondence between the public network IP address and the random port to the user. The gateway includes an operator gateway or a router, etc.

Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a NAT-based communication network according to an embodiment of the present application. The following is illustrated by specific examples:

assume that the server is at a fixed public network IP address B, the server provides the service at port 80, and the client requests the service at port 400. The IP address of the user in the intranet is a, and the IP address of the operator gateway in the public network is G.

The user knows the IP address and port number of the server and can send user data, i.e. packet a, to the IP address B of the server via port number 400.

After receiving the data packet a of the user, the operator gateway determines whether the path is the first transmission. If yes, a random port is distributed to the user for communication, and the corresponding relation between the port and the intranet IP of the user and the port is recorded. Assuming the first transmission by the user, the user is assigned a random temporary port 12345 and records the request of port 12345 corresponding to intranet IP address a, port 400. The operator gateway forwards the user data to the server through port 12345.

The server receives the data packet a, and records the corresponding relationship between the IP address G and the port 12345 in the data packet a and the user. The server can send information to the user as required according to the recorded corresponding relation. For example, the server sends the data packet B to the port 12345 of the IP address G, and after receiving the data packet, the operator gateway searches for the intranet IP and the port corresponding to the port 12345. In the found corresponding relationship, if the port corresponds to the intranet IP address a and the request of the port 400, the operator gateway forwards the data packet B to the port 400 of the IP address a, and the user can receive the data packet B.

(2) NAT timeout time

Because the port resources are limited, the gateway cannot store the corresponding relation in the NAT table for a long time. If there is no data transmission on the channel corresponding to a certain corresponding relation in the NAT table within a period of time, the corresponding relation is released, and the period of time is the NAT overtime time. After the correspondence relationship is released, the user side and the server side cannot communicate.

In the prior art, a terminal and a Push (Push) server need to maintain a connection state all the time, that is, a constant connection state. In order to avoid that the terminal cannot receive the push message of the push server due to NAT timeout, the push server and the client on the terminal need to transmit data periodically to ensure that the data transmission is always performed in the channel between the push server and the client, the periodically transmitted data is a heartbeat packet, and the interval for transmitting the heartbeat packet needs to be less than the NAT timeout time. However, if the NAT timeout is set to be small, the terminal may be woken up frequently to keep constant connection without interruption, which affects the standby time of the terminal.

In order to solve the foregoing technical problem, embodiments of the present application provide a network selection method, which can effectively reduce standby power consumption of an electronic device and improve standby duration of the electronic device.

In the embodiment of the present application, the method may be applied to other devices such as an electronic device, for example, the electronic device executes the network selection method, that is, the electronic device executes the network selection method about itself. For another example, the network selection method described above may be performed by another device, such as the network selection method performed by the electronic device a with respect to the electronic device B.

Further, the electronic device may be a smart phone, a smart television, a tablet computer, a desktop computer, a laptop computer, a handheld computer, a notebook computer, an ultra-mobile personal computer (UMPC), a netbook, a cellular phone, a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), an Augmented Reality (AR) device, a Virtual Reality (VR) device, an Artificial Intelligence (AI) device, a wearable device, a vehicle-mounted smart device, a smart home device, and/or a city device, etc. The embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit the specific type of the electronic device.

Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a schematic view of a scenario of a network selection method according to an embodiment of the present application. Exemplarily, in this embodiment, the electronic device takes the mobile phone 205 as an example, and it is assumed that the mobile phone 205 has two mobile phone communication cards, both of which are in an available state, a first mobile phone communication card corresponds to the first data network 203, and a second mobile phone communication card corresponds to the second data network 204; and the handset 205 is often connected to the router 202 using its WiFi network, the available networks of the handset 205 include a first data network 203, a second data network 204, and a WiFi network, through which the handset 205 can always connect to the push server 201.

By using the method of the embodiment of the present application, after it is determined that the mobile phone 205 is in the standby state, a network with a longer NAT timeout time can be automatically selected for standby. Specifically, assuming that the mobile phone 205 is in a standby state in the first data network 203, since the NAT timeout time of the WiFi network is X minutes, the NAT timeout time of the first data network 203 is Y minutes, the NAT timeout time of the second data network 204 is Z minutes, and X < Y < Z. When the standby network is automatically selected, the second data network 204 with the largest NAT timeout time is selected, and the standby network of the handset 205 is automatically switched from the first data network 202 to the second data network 204, so as to avoid the handset 205 from being frequently awakened due to constant connection with the push server 201, thereby reducing the standby power consumption of the handset 205 and prolonging the standby duration of the handset 205.

The network selection method is explained in detail below.

Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a schematic flowchart of a network selection method according to an embodiment of the present application. The network selection method 300 includes step 301.

301. And determining that the electronic equipment is in a standby state and the current first standby network of the electronic equipment is different from the first network, and switching the standby network of the electronic equipment from the first standby network to the first network.

The first network is a network with the largest NAT timeout time in the network address translation among a plurality of available networks of the electronic equipment.

The above plural means two or more. The network refers to a communication network available and connectable to the electronic device, and includes at least one of a mobile communication network, a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) hotspot, and the like, where the mobile communication network may be a 2G mobile communication network, a 3G mobile communication network, a 4G mobile communication network, a 5G mobile communication network, and the like; and WLAN refers to the use of wireless communication technology to interconnect electronic devices so that they can communicate with each other and share resources. The WLAN hotspot may be at least one of a personal hotspot, wiFi (also known as a mobile hotspot), and the like.

Specifically, the standby network switching conditions are as follows: the electronic equipment is in a standby state, a current first standby network of the electronic equipment is different from the first network, and the number of the standby networks of the electronic equipment is more than one.

By the aid of the scheme, standby network with the largest NAT timeout time is selected for standby, standby power consumption of the electronic equipment can be effectively reduced, and standby time of the electronic equipment is prolonged. By the scheme, the electronic equipment can not only normally use the message push service, but also effectively reduce the standby power consumption of the electronic equipment.

In some possible implementations, in the network selection method, when it is determined that the electronic device is switched from the standby state to the operating state, the standby network of the electronic device is switched from the first network to the first standby network.

The operating state refers to a state in which a user operates the electronic device. There are many ways to determine that the electronic device is in the working state, including but not limited to at least one of the following:

the data flow of the electronic device is greater than the flow threshold, and the specific value of the flow threshold may be set according to an actual situation, which is not particularly limited. For example, the electronic device may have an application to download an update package or system update at night.

The electronic equipment exits the screen-off state and is in a screen-on state. For example, the user wakes up the electronic device for use, and may be a key (virtual key or physical key) operation wake-up, a voice wake-up, a face, fingerprint or iris recognition wake-up, a gesture wake-up, a lift-up wake-up, a slide wake-up, and the like.

The electronic device exits the quiescent state. For example, a user picking up the electronic device is detected.

In this scheme, when the standby network of the electronic device is the first network, if the electronic device is detected to be in the operating state, the standby network of the electronic device is switched from the first network back to the first standby network. The state change of the electronic equipment is responded, and the standby network switching can be carried out, so that the normal use of the electronic equipment by a user is not influenced, and the standby power consumption of the electronic equipment can be reduced.

In some possible implementations, the network selection method further includes:

during switching of the standby network of the electronic device from the first network to the first standby network, an identification of the first standby network is displayed on the electronic device.

In the scheme, the identification of the first standby network is displayed on the electronic equipment during the switching from the first network to the first standby network, so that the public opinion problem caused by the fact that a user finds the change of the network identification is avoided. In order to ensure that the user cannot find out the change of the network identifier, when the standby network is switched to the first network, the identifier of the first network is not displayed on the electronic equipment, but the identifier of the first standby network is continuously displayed on the electronic equipment. Further, in the whole process executed by the network selection method of the embodiment of the present application, the identifier of the first standby network selected by the user is continuously displayed on the electronic device, that is, the display of the network identifier is switched without following the change of the automatic standby network selection. For example, if the standby network currently selected by the user (for example, the user operates and selects a communication network corresponding to a mobile phone communication card for data transmission on the electronic device) is the first standby network, when the automatic standby network switching according to the embodiment of the present application occurs, the identifier of the first standby network is still displayed on the electronic device. When the standby network currently selected by the user is a second standby network (such as a WiFi network), the identifier of the second standby network is still displayed on the electronic device when the automatic standby network switching of the application embodiment occurs.

Further, the identifier of the standby network may be a text identifier, a pattern identifier, or the like. The text identifier may be composed of at least one of letters, numbers, special characters, and the like, for example, the identifier of the communication network corresponding to the mobile phone communication card may be "card 1", "card 2", "SIM1", "SIM2", and the like.

And the pattern identification is to identify different communication networks by using different patterns or a combination of the patterns and characters (such as at least one of letters, numbers, special characters and the like). Referring to fig. 4a, fig. 4a is a schematic identification diagram of a communication network provided in an embodiment of the present application, where the communication network corresponding to different SIM cards is identified in fig. 4a in a frame plus number form. "1" in fig. 4a represents a communication network corresponding to the SIM card 1, and "2" in fig. 4a represents a communication network corresponding to the SIM card 2. For another example, referring to fig. 4b, fig. 4b is an identification schematic diagram of another communication network provided in the embodiment of the present application; in fig. 4b three vertical lines of unequal length and text are used to identify the different communication networks. "4G" in fig. 4b denotes a 4G mobile communication network, and "5G" in fig. 4b denotes a 5G mobile communication network.

In some possible implementations, the determining that the electronic device is in the standby state includes:

the electronic equipment is in a screen-off state, and when the electronic equipment meets a first condition, the electronic equipment is determined to be in a standby state, wherein the first condition comprises at least one of the following conditions:

the electronic equipment is in a long standby state;

the current data flow of the electronic equipment is less than or equal to the flow threshold.

The long standby state refers to a long standby state, and the specific definition can be set according to the actual situation. Specifically, the method for determining that the electronic device is in the standby state includes the following cases:

in the first case, when the electronic device is in the screen-off state and the long standby state, it may be determined that the electronic device is in the standby state. According to the screen-off state, the fact that the user does not operate the electronic equipment can be confirmed; in the long-time standby scene, the benefits of reducing the standby power consumption of the electronic equipment are large, frequent standby network switching can be avoided, and the equipment use experience of a user is guaranteed.

In the second case, when the electronic device is in the screen-off state and the current data traffic of the electronic device is less than or equal to the traffic threshold, it may be determined that the electronic device is in the standby state. The data flow of the electronic equipment can reflect the operation amount of the electronic equipment, when the data flow is smaller than or equal to the flow threshold value, the operation amount of the electronic equipment can be judged to be small, and the standby network switching can not affect the normal use of the electronic equipment by a user. In addition, the standby network switching is carried out under the condition that the data traffic of the electronic equipment is less, so that the condition of traffic consumption caused by the standby network switching can be avoided.

The specific value of the flow threshold may be set according to actual conditions, and is not particularly limited. The flow rate threshold value may be the same as or different from the flow rate threshold value used for determining that the electronic device is in the operating state.

In a third case, when the electronic device is in the screen-off state and the long standby state, and the current data traffic of the electronic device is less than or equal to the traffic threshold, it may be determined that the electronic device is in the standby state. And under a low-flow long-standby scene, standby network switching is carried out, so that the standby power consumption can be reduced, the normal use of electronic equipment by a user is not influenced, and the flow consumption condition can be avoided.

Further, the first condition may further include a stationary state or the like. Accordingly, the first case at this time is: when the electronic device is in the screen-off state, the long standby state and the static state, it may be determined that the electronic device is in the standby state described above. The second case at this time is that the electronic device is in a screen-off state, the current data traffic of the electronic device is less than or equal to the traffic threshold, and when the electronic device is in a static state, it may be determined that the electronic device is in the standby state described above. The third case at this time is that the electronic device is in a screen-off state and a long standby state, the current data traffic of the electronic device is less than or equal to the traffic threshold, and when the electronic device is in a static state, it may be determined that the electronic device is in the standby state.

Further, the method for determining that the electronic device is in the stationary state includes, but is not limited to, detecting a motion velocity, a motion acceleration, or an angular velocity of the electronic device, and when the detected motion velocity, motion acceleration, or angular velocity is not zero, the electronic device may be determined to be in the stationary state.

For example, the above-mentioned primary condition for determining whether the electronic device is in the standby state is that the electronic device is in the screen-off state, that is, after determining that the electronic device is in the screen-off state, the subsequent determination is performed, and when the electronic device is in the screen-on state, the subsequent determination is not performed.

In some possible implementations, the method for determining that the electronic device is in the long standby state includes any one of the following first method and second method.

In this embodiment, the preset position is a position that satisfies the long standby state, and may be, for example, a position determined in advance according to history data of the electronic device. Therefore, when the location of the electronic device belongs to one of the preset location sets, the current state of the electronic device is the long standby state.

Further, the history data of the electronic device may include at least one of on-off screen time, traffic usage habits, network connection history, historical location, and the like of the electronic device, where the traffic usage habits include historical traffic of the whole electronic device, and the network connection history includes at least one of a WiFi name of a historical connection, a mobile base station of a historical access, and the like, and the network connection history may be used to assist in determining whether the electronic device is in a stationary state, and when there is a network connection, it may be determined that the electronic device is in a non-stationary state.

Furthermore, the traffic usage habit may further include historical traffic corresponding to each application of the electronic device, and the occurrence time of the large traffic operation of each application may be learned according to the historical traffic corresponding to each application, for example, when learning that the application a often downloads an update package for version update at night 2, when determining that the standby network switching is possible, it is determined whether the current time is the predicted occurrence time of the large traffic operation, and if so, the standby network switching is not performed. Or, judging whether a period of time (specific numerical value is set according to actual conditions) after the current time includes the predicted occurrence time of the large-flow operation, if so, not switching the standby network.

For example, the historical location may be determined by using the geographic location of the electronic device, the WiFi connected to the electronic device, or the communication base station accessed by the electronic device, that is, the IP address where the WiFi network is located or the geographic location or the IP address of the communication base station is used as the historical location of the electronic device, and the geographic location of the electronic device may be determined by using a positioning method such as GPS, base station positioning, and the like.

When the preset position is determined from the history data, the preset position may be determined by a clustering method, a deep learning method, or the like. The clustering method can determine the historical position which meets the long standby state and has the highest occurrence frequency according to the historical data in a period of time. Illustratively, the deep learning method is to use historical data in a period of time for information sorting, analysis and prediction to determine the historical position which satisfies the long standby state and has the highest occurrence frequency. Further, the specific value of the time threshold for determining whether the long standby state is satisfied may be set according to the actual situation, and is not particularly limited. Specifically, by using any of the above methods for determining whether the electronic device is in the standby state, whether the electronic device is in the standby state is determined according to the history data, the duration time, i.e., the holding time, of the standby state of the electronic device is recorded, and whether the electronic device satisfies the long standby state is determined according to the length of the holding time and the time threshold.

The determining whether the current location of the electronic device belongs to one of the preset location sets may include: the determination is carried out by means of geo-fencing, wiFi network matching, communication base station matching and the like. Specifically, when the preset position is the geographic position, the geo-fence is determined according to the preset position, and when the electronic device enters the geo-fence, the current position of the electronic device can be determined to belong to one of the preset position sets. And for the method of determining whether the WiFi network belongs to one of the preset position sets or not through WiFi network matching, at the moment, the preset position is the IP address where the WiFi network is located, and if the electronic equipment is supposed to have accessed a certain WiFi network in the preset position, the WiFi name or the IP address of the WiFi network is recorded. When the electronic device accesses the WiFi network again, matching is performed according to the WiFi name and/or the IP address, that is, whether the current location of the electronic device belongs to one of the preset location sets may be determined, and when the name and/or the IP address are matched, it may be determined that the current location of the electronic device belongs to one of the preset location sets. Similarly, when the preset location is the geographic location or the IP address of the communication base station, the method is similar to the WiFi network matching method, and details are not repeated here.

In the second method, the holding time of the current standby state of the electronic device is greater than or equal to the time threshold. By determining whether the electronic device is in the standby state (for example, by the above-mentioned method for determining whether the electronic device is in the standby state, or by other methods, without limitation), the duration of the electronic device in the standby state, that is, the duration, is recorded, and whether the electronic device satisfies the long standby state is determined according to the length of the duration.

The specific value of the time threshold may be set according to actual conditions, and is not particularly limited.

In some possible implementations, the determining that the electronic device is in a standby state and the current first standby network of the electronic device is different from the first network, switching the standby network of the electronic device from the first standby network to the first network includes:

after the electronic equipment is determined to be in the standby state, the number of available networks of the electronic equipment and the NAT timeout time are detected, when the number of the available networks is larger than one, the available network with the largest NAT timeout time is determined to be used as the first network from the two or more available networks, whether the current first standby network and the first network are the same or not is determined, and no operation is performed when the first standby network and the first network are the same. And when the first standby network is different from the first network, switching the standby network of the electronic device from the first standby network to the first network.

and matching in a network database according to the current position of the electronic equipment, and determining N available networks corresponding to the current position and NAT overtime time corresponding to each available network in the N available networks. N is an integer greater than one. The network database comprises at least one available network at a preset position and the corresponding relation of the NAT timeout time of the available network at the preset position, and the holding time of the electronic equipment in the standby state at the preset position is larger than or equal to a time threshold. And determining the available network with the maximum NAT timeout time in the N available networks as the first network.

the method includes the steps that an available network of the electronic device at each preset position in a preset position set and NAT overtime time corresponding to the available network at the preset position are obtained. And establishing a network database according to the preset position, the available network at the preset position and the NAT timeout time corresponding to the available network at the preset position.

In the scheme, after the preset position is determined, the available network at the preset position and the NAT timeout time corresponding to the available network can be obtained, and then a network database can be established according to the corresponding relation of the preset position, the available network and the NAT timeout time so as to be used for subsequently determining the first network.

before the network selection scheme of the embodiment of the present application is executed, the network condition of the electronic device may be determined according to a certain period, and it is determined that the electronic device has multiple available networks. Specifically, it may be determined whether each data traffic network of the electronic device is unblocked by sending an Internet Packet finder (PING) request Packet or initiating a data access request with a small traffic. The request generally reduces the consumption of traffic and the request time as much as possible, and avoids unnecessary power consumption and traffic loss. If the electronic device is found to be not plugged in the mobile phone communication card or the network is not connected due to arrearages or poor communication networks when the request is made, so that the available networks of the electronic device are zero or one, the network selection scheme of the embodiment of the application is not executed.

In order to more clearly describe the network selection method in the embodiment of the present application, an example is given below in which the electronic device is a mobile phone:

referring to fig. 5, fig. 5 is a flowchart illustrating a network selection method according to an embodiment of the present application.

Firstly, during daily use, the preset positions in a long standby state can be learned at certain time intervals, the NAT timeout time of the available networks in the preset positions is detected, the preset positions, the available networks corresponding to the preset positions and the detected NAT timeout time are stored, and at least one learned preset position serves as a preset position set.

Illustratively, the specific value of the time interval may be set according to the actual situation, and is not particularly limited. For example, the preset positions in the long standby state are learned every month, and at least one preset position can be obtained by self-learning through historical data (such as screen-on time, screen-off time, network connection condition, historical positions and the like) of the mobile phone. And then, using the relative capability of the Link Turbo and the detection capability of the PUSH application program, identifying all available networks of the user at the position at the preset position, and caching the NAT timeout time, thereby avoiding the situation of repeatedly acquiring the NAT timeout time.

For example, link Turbo function may be used to try to connect all available networks (for example, a mobile phone has two mobile phone communication cards and multiple connectable WiFi networks) for a short time, and for each network, using the detection function of PUSH application to detect whether the network is available, and obtain and cache network parameters such as NAT timeout.

Then, in order to reduce unnecessary data processing procedures, the network condition of the user's handset can be judged according to a certain period. Before continuing to execute the scheme, whether the data traffic network of the user is smooth or not can be judged by sending a PING packet or initiating a data access request with small traffic. Such requests generally reduce traffic consumption and request time as much as possible, avoiding unnecessary power consumption and traffic loss. If the user does not insert a card or the network is not passed due to the reason that the mobile phone is arreared or the network is not good is found in the request, and the available networks of the mobile phone are determined to be one or zero, the scheme cannot be continuously executed. The specific value of the period may be set according to actual conditions, and is not particularly limited.

And then, judging whether the mobile phone is in a screen-off state, if so, continuing to execute the following scheme, otherwise, not doing any operation. And judging whether the current position of the user belongs to one of the preset position sets or not through modes such as geo-fencing, wiFi network matching and the like, if so, continuing to execute the following scheme, and otherwise, not doing any operation. The determining step is used for determining whether the user is in an environment where the mobile phone is not used for a long time (for example, the user sleeps at home at night or does not use the mobile phone for a long time in a company office) and the mobile phone of the user is in a static state.

And then, judging whether the current flow of the mobile phone is less than or equal to a flow threshold, if so, continuing to execute the following scheme, otherwise, not doing any operation. Judging whether the number of the current available networks of the mobile phone is more than 1, if so, selecting one available network with the largest NAT overtime time as a first network from the available networks with the number of the current available networks more than 1, and switching the standby network of the mobile phone to the first network if the standby network of the current mobile phone is different from the first network; otherwise, no operation is done.

The above-mentioned judging whether the current position of the user belongs to one of the preset position sets, judging whether the current flow of the mobile phone is less than or equal to the flow threshold, and judging whether the current available network of the mobile phone is greater than 1, the sequence of the three judging steps can be adjusted at will, and is not limited.

If the user has operations such as lifting hands, sliding, brightening the screen, bursting large flow scenes and the like during screen off, the user immediately exits the scheme and recovers the network connection before entering the scheme, thereby avoiding unexpected fee deduction or inconvenient use when the user uses the system. During the period from the screen-off to the time when the user turns on the screen to reconnect the original network, the icon on the user interaction interface is kept unchanged, and the public opinion problem caused by the fact that the network connection changes after the user turns on the screen is avoided.

The following describes an apparatus according to an embodiment of the present application.
