3. The present invention utilizes the characteristics of mobile devices that are easy to move, so that users can conveniently measure the network quality at various locations in the home, and then accurately obtain the network quality at various locations in the home.

4. The present invention can reduce the time factor for two different network environments (mobile network and wireless network) by simultaneously measuring the network quality of mobile network and wireless network (such as Wi-Fi network). In order to further improve the accuracy of network quality measurement.

5. The present invention is based on the signal strength of the mobile network and the wireless network (such as Wi-Fi network) and the quality level of the network quality test result to judge the possible network obstacles of the mobile network and the wireless network. Therefore, compared with the previous situation where users could only wait for technicians to come to their homes to troubleshoot network failures, resulting in the dilemma of being unable to access the Internet, the present invention can provide users with suggestions for improving network quality more quickly, so that users can easily troubleshoot by themselves. network failure, or move to another location in the home with better network quality to surf the Internet, so as to allow users to have a better surfing experience.

6. Compared with the prior art, because the software development kit (SDK) in the mobile device (such as a smart phone) often encapsulates the network connection function into an application programming interface (API). However, it is not possible to connect to the mobile telecommunication network and the wired telecommunication network at the same time through this interface. Therefore, the present invention constructs the mobile network interface and the wireless network interface in the network quality measurement module through the above content, so as to realize the simultaneous connection to the mobile telecommunication network and the wired telecommunication network.

The above-mentioned embodiments are only used to illustrate the principle and effect of the present invention, but are not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can modify and change the above-mentioned embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention should be listed in the scope of the patent application.
