For ease of description and understanding, the mobile phone is used as an example for illustration.

Please refer to FIG. 2. FIG. 2 is a schematic flowchart of a method for a mobile terminal to share a network connection according to an embodiment of the present application. In this embodiment, a method for a mobile terminal to share a network is provided. In this way, the mobile terminal receives the user's operation and shares the network according to the settings selected by the user's operation.

The specific implementation is as follows:

S201. The mobile terminal receives a user's first operation on the mobile terminal, and the first operation is an operation instructing the mobile terminal to enter a traffic sharing setting.

Optionally, existing mobile terminals usually have a touch screen, so touch operations are widely used. The first operation of the mobile terminal by the user may be the first operation on the touch screen of the mobile terminal. Of course, in addition to this, the first operation may also be a floating operation, a tap operation, a shaking operation, a voice operation, a key operation, etc., and the embodiments of the present application do not make any limitation.

S202. The mobile terminal displays multiple setting options for traffic sharing in response to the first operation.

Optionally, the setting options may be displayed on the touch screen of the mobile terminal. When the mobile terminal has two or more screens, it can be displayed on any one or more screens, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

Optionally, the plurality of setting options include setting options for sharing at least two types of network connection services, the at least two types of network connection services corresponding to transmission requirements of at least two service types, and the at least two services Types include at least one of transmission services requiring low latency and high reliability, and transmission services requiring high bandwidth.

It should be noted that shared traffic is shared network connection, and the shared network connection service corresponds to the shared traffic type.

In a possible implementation manner, refer to FIGS. 3a and 3b. FIG. 3a is a schematic diagram of setting options for network sharing; FIG. 3b is a schematic diagram of setting options for network connection services of network sharing; as shown in FIG. 3a After the terminal responds to the first operation, the setting interface of the shared network connection is included, including whether to turn on the WLAN hotspot switch of the mobile terminal. Here, HUAWEI Mate 10 is used as an example for description. Specific setting options include "Configure WLAN hotspot", which can be used to set the hotspot name and hotspot password. "Network Sharing Restriction" can be used to set the type of network connection service provided, etc. "Single flow limit" can limit the flow of a single share. "Manage device list" can manage the devices connected to the hotspot, such as invitation to join, delete, refuse to join, and separate flow control and network connection service control.

When the user selects the option of network sharing control for setting, as shown in FIG. 3b, a method for setting network sharing for a mobile terminal may be provided, including providing multiple different types of network connection services for selection in network sharing. Different types of network connection services here mainly refer to different requirements for network transmission, such as different requirements for delay, bandwidth, reliability, number of connections, etc. Here are common data traffic, low latency and high reliability traffic, Internet of Things Connection traffic, etc., but not limited to the ones listed here, the names of these different types of network connection services can be adjusted, that is, other similar names can be used. During implementation, the specific names of various types of network connection services may be more easily understood by users or the business type names that operators name according to the needs of commercial promotion, such as ordinary data traffic. This is eMBB traffic, etc .; low-latency, high-reliability traffic, which can also be called game traffic, or Internet of Vehicle traffic, or industrial Internet traffic, etc .; IoT connection traffic, which can also be called IoT connection traffic, or sensors Connection traffic, etc. In the name of the network sharing option, there is no such expression as "traffic". For example, "traffic" can be replaced with "business".

In a possible implementation manner, after configuring the hotspot name and password of the wireless local area network (Wireless Local Area Networks, WLAN for short) hotspot, the user further sets up some of the network sharing (or called, setting up traffic sharing) When restricting conditions, you can perform the first operation on the mobile terminal, that is, click on the "Network Sharing Restriction" menu (the menu name can also use other names in the first interface displayed on the mobile terminal (as shown in Figure 3a), Such as "network sharing settings", "shared network method", "shared traffic type", "traffic sharing settings", etc., this menu can be set in the same interface as the "Configure WLAN hotspot" menu, or it can be set to "configuration WLAN hotspot "menu in the lower level menu), in response to the first operation, the mobile terminal will display a second interface (or a pop-up window, as shown in Figure 3b), the second interface displays multiple networks Options for sharing restrictions (also called network sharing setting options, or traffic sharing setting options), these options provide a variety of different types of traffic User selection, when setting the network sharing method, the user can choose unlimited or one of them (select one option), for example, low latency and high reliability service traffic, or two or more at the same time (select more Options), such as ordinary data traffic and low-latency high-reliability traffic.

Optionally, the at least two or more types of network connection services correspond to different levels of transmission requirements.

S203. The mobile terminal receives a second operation of the user on the mobile terminal, where the second operation is an operation in which the user selects one or more setting options among the plurality of setting options.

Optionally, the second operation of the mobile terminal by the user may be a second operation on the touch screen of the mobile terminal. Of course, in addition to this, the second operation may also be a hovering operation, a tapping operation, a shaking operation, a voice operation, a key operation, etc., which are not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

Optionally, when the user selects one or more network connection services in network sharing, further specific setting of the specific network sharing service may be performed. Optionally, the multiple setting options It also includes at least one of the following setting options: the size of shared traffic, the time of shared traffic, or the number of device connections for shared traffic. The setting options for the size of the shared traffic include at least one of the following sub-setting options: a sub-setting option for unlimited traffic, a sub-setting option for custom traffic, and a sub-setting option for traffic corresponding to a preset value. The setting options of the time for sharing traffic include at least one of the following sub-setting options: unlimited time sub-setting options, custom time sub-setting options, and time sub-setting options corresponding to preset values. The setting options for the number of device connections that share traffic include at least one of the following sub-setting options: a sub-setting option that does not limit the number of device connections, a sub-setting option that customizes the number of device connections, and Sub setting options.

For details, please refer to FIG. 4a, FIG. 4b and FIG. 4c. FIG. 4a is a schematic diagram of setting a shared traffic size in a network sharing, FIG. 4b is a schematic diagram of setting a sharing time in a network sharing, and FIG. 4c is a network sharing Schematic diagram of setting the number of device connections in Figure; as shown in Figure 4a, for example, for ordinary network traffic data, you can further set the size of a single shared traffic, such as 10MB, 20MB, 50MB, etc. (such as the user shown in Figure 3b After selecting the "general data flow" option in the second interface, a third interface as shown in FIG. 4a is displayed on the mobile terminal, and a plurality of flow size setting options are displayed on the third interface for the user to select); as shown in FIG. 4b As shown, for network traffic with low latency and high reliability, since resource reservation may be required, the sharing limit may be the time dimension, such as 10 minutes, 20 minutes, etc .; as shown in FIG. It may be a limitation on the number of device connections, because such connections have low traffic and low transmission requirements, and the requirement for the network is to be able to maintain as many network connection devices as possible. Figure 4a shows an example of sharing traffic corresponding to different network services.

This is generally a setting for single network sharing. Of course, it can also be a sharing traffic limit within a certain period of time, such as daily shared traffic, weekly shared traffic, or monthly shared traffic.

Figures 4a, 4b, and 4c show that there is only one dimension limit for each type of traffic, such as the size, time, or number of connections. However, in actual implementation, it is possible to further perform Dimensional or more dimensional restrictions, such as low-latency and high-reliability traffic restrictions, can share 100MB of traffic, but also limit the sharing time to 20 minutes, when one of the restrictions is met, stop sharing; It can also be when two of the dimensions, or the time and flow size have reached the limit, to stop network sharing. No more details will be drawn here.

S204. In response to the second operation, the mobile terminal starts network sharing corresponding to the selected one or more setting options.

That is, after the user completes the setting of network traffic sharing, the mobile terminal can turn on the network hotspot according to the user's setting for other devices to connect and use the shared network service.

For other devices connected to the mobile terminal device and implementing network data transmission through the mobile terminal, the relationship between the data transmission and the network service sharing method set by the user may include the following:

1. The user sets the mobile terminal device to not limit the way of network connection sharing, then the mobile terminal transmits the data that needs to be transmitted to other devices in accordance with its own way.

a) Possible implementation methods are: the most cost-effective way, the mobile terminal provides connection transmission for the connected device in the cheapest way; or, the most power-efficient way, the mobile terminal is connected in the most power-saving way Other devices provide connection data transmission services; or, in a manner with the best performance, the mobile terminal provides connection transmission services to other connected devices through the connection with the best performance.

2. The user sets the mobile terminal device to provide a sharing of network connection services. The mobile terminal's service restrictions on the connected device transmission can be as follows:

a) Option 1: Only provide the transmission of the service corresponding to the type of network connection shared with the mobile terminal device, and not provide the data transmission to other services; for example, when the mobile terminal shares a service with low latency and high reliability During transmission, the mobile terminal only transmits service data that other devices require in a low-latency and high-reliability manner, while other types of data, such as ordinary data, are not transmitted. The judgment of the data type of other devices here can be judged by the service level of the packets in WiFi, for example, transmission is provided for high-priority data, while transmission is not provided for other data types.

b) Option2: The data type of other connected terminals is not limited, as long as it is other devices successfully connected to the mobile terminal device, any type of data can be transmitted. For example, although mobile terminals share low-latency and high-reliability traffic, common data, Internet of Things data, and low-latency, high-reliability data can all be transmitted through the network connection shared by the mobile terminal.

3. If the user sets the mobile terminal device to provide the sharing of two network connection services, the mobile terminal's service restrictions on the connected device transmission can be as follows:

a) Option1: Provides services corresponding to the type of network connection shared by mobile terminal devices through the corresponding service connection, and does not provide data transmission to other services; for example, when mobile terminals share low-latency and highly reliable services During transmission, the mobile terminal transmits low-latency and high-reliability services through the network connection; when the mobile terminal also shares the data of ordinary data traffic, the ordinary data traffic of other devices is transmitted through the connection corresponding to the ordinary data traffic. For IoT traffic, because mobile terminals are not shared, this type of data cannot be transmitted.

b) Option2: The data types of other connected terminals are not limited. As long as the other devices are successfully connected to the mobile terminal device, any type of data can be transmitted. The mobile terminal automatically selects the appropriate connection to provide according to the level of the data to be transmitted. transmission. For example, when the mobile terminal is sharing low-latency and high-reliability service transmission, the mobile terminal transmits low-latency and high-reliability service transmission through the network connection; when the mobile terminal also shares common data traffic data, other devices ’ Ordinary data traffic is transmitted through the connection corresponding to the ordinary data traffic; of course, ordinary traffic data can also be transmitted through a low-latency and highly reliable connection, which is automatically selected by the mobile terminal, which may be based on the lowest cost, or the most power-saving factors consider. For IoT traffic, if it can be satisfied by ordinary traffic transmission, then the mobile terminal will be transmitted by ordinary data traffic, and other types of transmission are also possible. It is not limited or decided by the mobile terminal according to its own situation.

For the limitation of shared traffic, specifically, for example, if the user chooses to share low-latency and high-reliability traffic, and the sharing time is limited to 10 minutes, the mobile terminal opens the network for sharing, which may be the WiFi AP hotspot, waiting for other devices Connect to the device via WiFi. After 10 minutes, turn off the sharing of WiFi AP hotspots; another method is to turn off the sharing of AP hotspots after the device has been connected for 10 minutes. Or it is the size of the traffic that is shared. When the transmitted data reaches the corresponding traffic size, the sharing is stopped; in actual implementation, it can be further limited to two or more dimensions of a traffic, such as low latency Highly reliable traffic limit, which can share 100MB of traffic, but also limits the sharing time to 20 minutes, when one of the limits is reached, it stops sharing; it can also be when two dimensions, or time and traffic Stop network sharing after the sizes are all reached. No more details will be drawn here.

Optionally, the mobile terminal may adjust the power-saving working mode according to the type of network connection service provided by the shared network to ensure that the provided network sharing can provide network connection services of a corresponding service level.

For example, if the current type of network connection service is a transmission service that requires low latency and high reliability, the mobile terminal adjusts the power-saving working mode to a non-sleep mode. In addition to the above mentioned devices connected to the shared device via WiFi, other devices here may also be via Bluetooth, or NFC, or the relay defined by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) standard organization (Relay) standards and other communication protocols to connect to shared devices to achieve network transmission.

When the limit conditions set in the setting options are reached, the mobile terminal can turn off network sharing, or can notify the device that has accessed the shared network in advance, the network sharing is about to end, and further, it can also be pre-notified according to the situation of network sharing.

For example, optionally, if the current shared traffic size reaches the traffic size limit set by the setting option, the mobile terminal turns off network sharing; or

For another example, if the current time for sharing traffic reaches the time set by the setting option, the mobile terminal turns off network sharing; or

When the time of the current shared traffic reaches a preset time threshold, the preset time threshold is less than or equal to the time set by the setting option, the mobile terminal sends a second notification message, the second notification message contains the sharing is about to be closed Information about the time of the network or the remaining time until the shared network is closed. That is, the second notification message may be used to indicate that the shared network is about to be shut down.

For another example, if the current number of device connections sharing traffic reaches the number of device connections set in the setting options, the mobile terminal denies other devices that are not currently accessing the shared network to access the shared network; or

In addition, for some devices that are accessed for a long time but have a low frequency and / or data volume of service transmission, the priority of accessing the shared network can be reduced. In addition, in the network sharing mode in this embodiment, a network share corresponding to one network access service may be selected in a single setting, or two or more network access services may be selected in a single setting and their respective limits are set. After the condition, the network sharing is switched sequentially.

Optionally, on the basis of this embodiment, some other processing features may be added after the shared network is turned on. For example, after a mobile terminal turns on a hotspot of a WiFi access point (Access Point, AP for short), the In the WiFi Beacon beacon frame broadcast by the AP hotspot, information indicating the type of shared network connection is added to indicate which type or types of network connection services the mobile terminal shares, for example, carrying a Indication byte, where each bit is used to indicate the sharing of a corresponding type of connection. For details, refer to FIG. 5, which is a schematic diagram of a beacon frame format provided by an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 5, it includes a total of 8 bits B0-B7, where the B0 bit is 1, indicating that the mobile terminal shares common network traffic, and the B0 bit is 0, indicating that the common network traffic is not shared; the B1 bit is When 1, the mobile terminal is instructed to share low-latency, high-reliability traffic. When the B1 bit is 0, it indicates that the low-latency, high-reliability traffic is not shared; when the B2 bit is 1, it indicates that the mobile terminal shares the IoT connection traffic, when the B2 bit is 0 , Indicating that the IoT connection traffic is not shared; B3-B7 bits are reserved (Reserved) bits. It should be noted that FIG. 5 only shows an exemplary implementation manner. Other service connection types carried in the Beacon message for direct indication or indirect indication of network sharing are included in the embodiments of the present invention.

The device connected to the mobile terminal can determine the type of connection that the mobile terminal can provide by receiving the Beacon frame and parsing the network connection indication information therein, thereby determining that the data to be transmitted is set to a reasonable type through the network connection shared by the mobile terminal transmission.

Further, if the mobile terminal sets the shared hotspot working mode to match the shared network connection type to ensure the transmission quality of the service, for example, if it is a low-latency and highly reliable transmission mode, the hotspot needs to work in a non-sleep mode to ensure Low latency requirements.

By explicitly indicating the type of network connection provided in the beacon frame, the type of shared network connection can be provided to other connected devices, so as to inform other network devices to match the set type of network sharing for data transmission.

In summary, this embodiment provides a method for a mobile terminal to share a network. The mobile terminal can display setting options for traffic sharing, including sharing one or more types of network connection services, and the mobile terminal can receive a user-selected network connection sharing. Set up, enable network connection service sharing. In addition, the above method for sharing a network may further include: according to the received hotspot sharing settings, the mobile terminal device performs data transmission according to the corresponding network connection service type for devices that perform data transmission through the shared network; further, the mobile terminal uses The Beacon broadcast in the hotspot network indicates the shared network connection type; further, when the mobile terminal shares the URLLC traffic type, the hotspot working mode, such as the non-sleep mode, is set to meet the transmission service level requirements of the URLLC business. Further, the method further includes setting a shared network traffic transmission method, for example, not limiting the service type of the connection or restricting only the corresponding service type. Further, in this method, it also includes setting different types of sharing parameters, such as how much traffic is shared, or the number of shared connections, or the shared connection time, etc. Therefore, a flexible network sharing method can be provided for different service types that require network devices, which makes it easier for users to provide different network sharing methods for different service types, and the control of the network sharing method is also more flexible. Compared with the prior art, which can only provide one way of sharing network traffic, this embodiment provides sharing of network connections for different service types, and realizes a more flexible way of network sharing and control. The invention can be applied to the sharing of cellular networks, and does not limit the access standard of the cellular network. For example, it can include 4G, 5G, and networks that can provide multiple service connection qualities in the future.

Please refer to FIG. 6, which is a schematic diagram of setting options of another network sharing network connection service provided by an embodiment of the present application. Compared with the embodiment shown in FIG. 3b, this embodiment provides a simpler network connection sharing method.

The specific settings are shown in Figure 6. Compared with the embodiment shown in FIG. 3b, the network connection sharing method provides the options of optimal cost, optimal power consumption, optimal performance, and no limitation. In the specific implementation, it may be one or more of them, or other guiding principles. It is more possible to set the sharing method of the network connection from the perspective of the user's attention factors, and no specific restrictions are made here. For example, the optimal cost refers to the most economical way to transmit the data transmitted through the shared network. For example, the ordinary traffic transmission is the cheapest, then the ordinary traffic transmission is used; and the optimal power consumption method may be the transmission of the IoT connection. The real-time requirements are not so high. At this time, the shared device will accumulate some data and then transmit it, then use the IoT connection to transmit; and optimal performance refers to ensuring the best performance of the data transmitted through the mobile terminal shared network For example, the best transmission performance can be achieved through low-latency and high-reliability transmission. Then, when it is set to the best performance, data can be transmitted through a low-latency and highly reliable connection. The unrestricted option is more not to restrict the transmitted data, which may be determined by the device based on its comprehensive performance, or it may be based on comprehensive consideration of optimal cost, optimal performance, optimal power consumption, and possible other factors. Determine what kind of connection is used for transmission.

The transmission method here may be further combined with the time limit, the traffic size limit, and the number of connected devices in the embodiments shown in FIGS. 4a, 4b, and 4c, so as to realize a more flexible network connection sharing control method. I won't repeat them here.
