Users can not perceive this process, thus simplifying user operations and improving user experience.

Exemplarily, in the embodiment of the present application, the amount of data transmitted between the first terminal and the second terminal is small, and therefore, the pairing connection may not be performed after the other party is found between the first terminal and the second terminal. Instead, the transmission channel of the small data is directly established, and the small data between the first terminal and the second terminal is transmitted by using the low power consumption channel, which is beneficial to reducing the power consumption of the first terminal and improving the data transmission efficiency.

It should be noted that the low power consumption channel in the present application is a Bluetooth low energy BLE in the Bluetooth standard protocol. When the first terminal needs to send data, the first terminal acts as a broadcast party and sends a broadcast message to the second terminal. . The second terminal, as a scanning party, receives the broadcast message sent by the first terminal. When the second terminal needs to send data, the second terminal acts as a broadcaster and sends a broadcast message to the second terminal. The first terminal serves as a scanning party and receives a broadcast message sent by the second terminal.

S107. The second terminal acquires its own network capability information.

Specifically, after receiving the request for the hotspot or the scan request sent by the first terminal, the second terminal may obtain the second terminal network capability information, so as to determine whether the second terminal has the capability of sharing the hotspot for the first terminal. The second terminal network capability information includes whether the second terminal has the hotspot sharing capability, and whether the second terminal has the capability of accessing the Internet, that is, whether the second terminal starts the mobile data service.

S108. The second terminal sends its own network capability information to the first terminal by using the established low power consumption channel.

Optionally, the second terminal may directly send the network capability information of the second terminal to the first terminal, and the second terminal may also send the information to the first terminal after the network capability information of the second terminal meets certain conditions. For example, if the second terminal has the hotspot sharing capability and the second terminal enables the mobile data service, the second terminal may send the network capability information to the first terminal. If the second terminal does not have the hotspot sharing capability or does not enable the mobile data service, the second terminal may reply to the first terminal that the hotspot cannot be provided for the first terminal, or may not reply to the first terminal. If the second terminal does not reply to the first terminal, the first terminal may, by default, consider that the second terminal cannot provide the hotspot after a certain period of time. The embodiment of the present application is not limited.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the first terminal may discover nearby hotspots by using WI-FI scanning and Bluetooth scanning. Among them, the hotspot scanned by the WI-FI scanning method is a hot spot that the electronic device is actually turned on. The hot spot scanned by the Bluetooth scanning method is an electronic device that may provide a hot spot, but the electronic device does not open the hot spot yet, and can be regarded as a virtual hot spot. Then, the first terminal can display the hotspots scanned by the two scanning modes in a differentiated display manner, so that the user can distinguish the real hotspots from the virtual hotspots. For example, virtual hotspots and actual hotspots are respectively displayed in different areas, or virtual hotspots and actual hotspots are respectively displayed with different background colors/filling/fonts/transparency/size.

Specifically, the "AP 01", the "AP 02", and the "AP 03" are included, and the interface further includes a hotspot list 302 scanned by the first terminal through the Bluetooth scanning mode, including "Huawei Mate". (2) in FIG. 3 shows an interface of the first terminal, and the prompt information 303 of the interface is used to prompt the first terminal to connect to the hotspot of the second terminal.

In some examples, if the first terminal simultaneously turns on the WI-FI scanning mode and the Bluetooth scanning mode, the following methods may be used to display the scanning modes of the same electronic device hotspot by the two scanning modes:

The first case: the electronic device has a hotspot turned on. If the first terminal can scan the electronic device through the WI-FI scanning mode, the first terminal is displayed in the WI-FI scanning mode on the WI-FI setting interface, and is displayed as a real hot spot.

The second case: the electronic device does not turn on the hotspot. Then, the first terminal cannot scan the hotspot of the electronic device through the WI-FI scanning mode, and can only scan through the Bluetooth scanning mode, and the first terminal is in the WI- The FI setting interface is displayed in the display mode of the Bluetooth scanning mode and is shown as a virtual hotspot.

S110. The first terminal sends a hotspot connection request to the second terminal that is displayed as the virtual hotspot in response to the user's selection operation.

The user's selection operation indicates that the first terminal can request to connect to the hotspot of the second terminal. The operation may be performed by the user of the first terminal in the operation mode of the first terminal in the interface that includes the scanned hotspot information, by selecting the hotspot of the second terminal, or by clicking the icon of the hotspot of the second terminal. Make a limit.

The hotspot connection request may be carried in an optional field in the Bluetooth broadcast message.

(1) in FIG. 4 shows an interface of the first terminal in which a virtual hotspot list 401 is displayed. (2) in FIG. 4 shows an interface displayed by the first terminal in response to the user clicking on the identifier of any of the virtual hotspots in the virtual list 401. The interface includes prompt information 402, indicating that the first terminal has connected to the hotspot of the second terminal.

S111. The second terminal displays the prompt information.

Specifically, when the second terminal receives the hotspot connection request of the first terminal, because the first terminal and the second terminal log in to different accounts, the second terminal may automatically not allow the first terminal to connect to the hotspot of the second terminal, or may generate The prompt information is selected by the user whether to allow the first terminal to connect to the hotspot of the second terminal.

Illustratively, the second terminal may display a prompt message by using a notification message in the notification bar, or may display a prompt window in the middle of the current display interface for displaying the prompt information. The display mode is not limited.

FIG. 5 shows an example of an interface of the second terminal, the interface including prompt information 501, the content of the prompt information is “**Electronic device requests to connect to your WLAN hotspot, is it allowed?”. If the second terminal detects that the user clicks the "Yes" button 502, it indicates that the user of the second terminal agrees that the first terminal connects to his hotspot, and the second terminal automatically turns on the hotspot in response to the operation. If the second terminal detects that the user clicks the "No" button 503, indicating that the second terminal does not agree that the first terminal is connected to its own hotspot, the second terminal does not turn on the hotspot in response to the operation.

S112. The second terminal receives the allowed operation of the user, and sends the hot spot information to the first terminal.

The hotspot information includes at least one of a hotspot name, a password, and a TCP port information.

Specifically, if the second terminal detects that the user selects to allow the first terminal to connect to the second terminal hotspot, the second terminal sends the hotspot information of the second terminal to the first terminal through the Bluetooth low energy channel or the WI-FI channel. Specifically, it can be carried in an optional field in the Bluetooth broadcast message. Then, after receiving the hotspot information sent by the second terminal, the first terminal may perform step S106.

Therefore, in the network connection method provided by the embodiment of the present application, the first terminal may scan the second terminal that can provide the hotspot through the Bluetooth, and display the information of the second terminal hotspot in the interface of the first terminal, so that the user can select Connect to the second terminal hotspot. After the user selects to connect to the second terminal hotspot, the first terminal can automatically connect to the hotspot of the second terminal. Compared with the original complicated operation, the manual connection provided by the embodiment of the present application obtains the hotspot of the second terminal, which is beneficial to simplifying the user. Operation will help improve the quality of network services and enhance the user experience.
