detailed description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application shall be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments. . Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work shall fall within the protection scope of this application.

Please refer to the mobile terminal flow control method shown in Figure 1. It includes the following steps:

S10. Identify traffic grouping control instructions;

Specifically, the user activates the mobile terminal 100 to enter the flow grouping control mode by triggering a preset flow grouping control instruction in the mobile terminal 100.

S20. Output a flow control interface, the flow control interface includes at least one group 10 about applications installed in the mobile terminal;

Specifically, the output flow control interface is displayed on the display screen 101 of the mobile terminal 100. At least one group 10 is included in the flow control interface, and the group 10 is grouped for the applications installed in the mobile terminal 100. It is understandable that multiple applications are usually installed in the mobile terminal 100, and multiple applications can be divided in advance according to certain types. A group of groups 10 can include all the applications in the mobile terminal 100, or only Some of the applications, and even users can set only one application in a group 10. In the flow control section, at least one group 10 is included, and multiple groups 10 may also be included. The programs in each group 10 can be different to meet the needs of users in different usage scenarios.

S30. Receive a selection instruction for the group, and determine the selected target group 20 according to the selection instruction;

Specifically, the user selects at least one group of groups 10 by triggering a selection instruction. There are many operation input methods for trigger selection instructions, which are determined according to the settings of the flow control interface. An example is shown in Figure 2. For each group of at least one group 10, corresponding check boxes are set. The number of check boxes is the same as the number of groups 10. The user clicks the corresponding check box to achieve Selection of the group 10; in another embodiment, the selected group 10 and the unselected group 10 are distinguished by different display states such as color, brightness, and gray. This application does not specifically limit the specific implementation of the user's selection instruction.

To facilitate clear description, one or more groups 10 selected by the user through a selection instruction are defined as target groups 20.

S40. Perform flow control on at least one group of packets 10;

The flow control performed includes: using a preset flow control strategy to perform flow control on the application program in the target group 20.

Specifically, after the user determines the target group 20, the mobile terminal 100 uses a preset flow control strategy to perform flow control on the applications in the target group 20. The target group 20 includes one or more application programs, and the application programs in the target group 20 can be flow controlled through a preset flow control strategy.

Generally, multiple applications are installed in the mobile terminal 100. These applications can be divided into video, social, game, shopping, etc. according to their purpose. Users have different networking requirements for various applications in different usage scenarios. On the other hand, some applications running in the background will occupy part of the system resources because they need to use traffic data. Therefore, due to the needs of flow control or resource control, in different usage scenarios, users need to enable some applications to connect to the Internet and use flow data, while another part of the applications can choose to close the flow data. If you manage the flow control of the applications one by one in the application management interface, it will cause users to perform a lot of repeated operations. When the application scenarios are switched frequently, or the flow control management needs to be repeated for a long time, the network setting operation of selecting the applications one by one is too complicated, which hinders the user experience.

The mobile terminal flow control method of this application provides the convenience of batch operations for users to control the flow usage status of the application program. After the user extracts and divides the applications in the mobile terminal 100 according to his own use requirements, he can call out the flow control interface by triggering the flow grouping control instruction. In the flow control interface, at least one group 10 is preset. The group 10 includes some applications in the mobile terminal 100. The user can divide the applications in at least one group 10 in advance according to the needs of their own usage scenarios. Therefore, in the flow control interface, the user only needs to select the target group 20, and then the preset flow control strategy can be used to control the flow of the target group 20 and the remaining groups 10 in at least one group 10. Compared with the operation mode of ticking the applications one by one to manage traffic data, the mobile terminal traffic control method of the present application divides the applications in the mobile terminal 100 for the user to select, which can improve the user's operating efficiency. When the user uses the mobile terminal flow control method of the present application to perform batch control of multiple applications, a lot of tedious operation processes are saved, and a better user experience is obtained.

It needs to be pointed out that the division of applications is not limited to the division of application types. Users can group and control applications by themselves according to their own usage habits, which greatly improves the convenience of users using the mobile terminal 100.

An embodiment is shown in FIG. 3, and a preset flow control strategy is used to perform flow control on the application program in the selected target group 20, including:

S41. Turn on the network usage function for the applications in the target group 20, so that the applications in the target group 20 can send and receive traffic data through the network;

Specifically, the target group 20 contains one or more applications. After being selected as the target group 20, the mobile terminal 100 activates the traffic usage rights of the applications in the target group 20 in batches, so that all the applications in the target group 20 can send and receive traffic data through the network.

Correspondingly, performing flow control on at least one group of packets 10 also includes:

S42. Turn off the network usage function of the other groups 10 except the target group 20 in at least one group of groups 10, and then control the applications in the group 10 not to use the traffic data.

Specifically, after the target group 20 is selected, for the unselected group 10, the mobile terminal 100 closes the traffic usage rights of the applications in the unselected group 10 in batches, so that the data in the unselected group 10 The application does not use the network to send and receive traffic data.

Thus, through the preset flow control strategy, the mobile terminal 100 can provide the user with the convenience of quickly selecting the application that needs to open the flow usage right, and at the same time provide the user with the convenience of quickly selecting the application that needs to close the flow usage right. When the user needs to focus on using a certain video application, he can close the instant messaging application and other operations to avoid pop-up notifications and other interruptions; or when the user needs to focus on using a certain game application, he can close the background possible use The application of traffic data saves system resources and obtains a better gaming experience.

The preset flow control strategy is not limited to the function of instantly closing or opening the flow usage authority of the target group 20 and the remaining groups 10. Optionally, the preset flow control strategy may also be used for delaying or timing the opening and closing of the application flow usage authority function of the target group 20 and other groups 10. For example, when the user is currently participating in a conference, or the user needs to sleep, etc., the specific traffic usage rights opening and closing time of the target group 20 and other groups 10 can be predetermined through a preset flow control strategy. Such a setting can avoid possible interference to users during the use of traffic data by some applications.

It is understandable that the flow control strategy can also control the applications in the target group 20 to close the data use right, and at the same time control the applications in the other groups 10 except the target group 20 to open the data use right. The above embodiments all belong to the expected effects that can be achieved by the mobile terminal flow control method of this application, and naturally also belong to the scope of protection required by the mobile terminal flow control method of this application.

In an embodiment, at least one group of groups 10 includes a first group 11 and a second group 12, wherein the first group 11 and the second group 12 both include the first application 31. Performing flow control on at least one group of packets 10 may include:

43. If the selection instruction selects the first group 11 as the target group 20, but does not select the second group 12, the first application program 31 is controlled to use the traffic data.

Specifically, when users divide application programs according to different usage scenarios, there may be a situation where the same application program exists in two or more groups 10 at the same time. If a part of the group 10 in the group 10 containing the application is selected as the target group 20, and another part of the group 10 in the group 10 containing the application is not selected as the target group 20, the flow control strategy will appear Logic conflict. To resolve this conflict, it is defined that the first application 31 in the first group 11 selected as the target group 20 uses traffic data, while the second group 121 that is not selected as the target group 20 even contains the first application The program 31 does not affect the use of the traffic data of the first application program 31 either.

For an embodiment, referring to Fig. 4, when outputting the flow control interface, the method further includes:

S21. The flow control interface also includes an application identification list 40;

Specifically, the application identification list 40 may be arranged in sequence with at least one group of groups 10 in the flow control interface.

S22. The application identification list 40 includes at least one identification of the second application 32, that is, the second application 32 is not included in any group 10 in the at least one group 10.

Specifically, the second application 32 does not exist in any group of groups 10 in the flow control interface. It is understandable that the group 10 preset by the user usually corresponds to applications commonly used in various scenarios. However, due to some special needs, users may also need to perform flow control on some applications outside of group 10 in the current scenario. The second application 32 does not exist in any group 10. When the user selects the group 10 in the flow control interface, if you want to control the second application 32, you need to re-divide and select the second application 32. After entering the group 10, the group 10 containing the second application 32 can be selected in the flow control interface, so that the flow control strategy can be implemented on the second application 32. Such an operation is slightly cumbersome, and there are many steps to create a new group 10, which is inconvenient for the user to quickly realize the group control operation of the flow. Therefore, in the flow control interface, while displaying at least one group of groups 10, an application identification list 40 is also displayed. The application identification list 40 includes at least one second application 32. It is understandable that the second application 32 can also be selected by the user by means of check boxes, brightness, gray scale, and the like. Thus, while the user selects the group 10, the second application 32 not included in any group 10 is also arranged in the application identification list 40, so as to provide the user to select the target group 20 as needed, The convenience of selecting the identity of the second application 32 that is not classified into any group 10.

For an embodiment, please refer to Figure 3a. When the flow control interface is output, the method of this application further includes:

S21a. The flow control interface also includes an application identification list 40;

S22a. If the selection instruction selects the target group 20, the application identification list 40 further includes a third application program identification 33, and the target group 20 does not include the third application program 33.

Specifically, referring to FIG. 5, after the user selects the target group 20, the user may also need to perform flow control on the application programs contained in the remaining groups 10 except the target group 20. The application program may be the aforementioned second application program 32 not included in any group 10, or may be an application program included in the remaining groups but not included in the target group 20. Define the application in the remaining group 10 except the target group 20 as the third application 33, then the third application 33 displayed in the application identification list 40 may include the above-mentioned second application 32, but Obviously, the scope of the third application 33 is broader, that is, when the user selects the target group 20, all the other applications in the mobile terminal 100 except the applications in the target group 20 are displayed in the application identification list 40.

It should be noted that the application identification list 40 is always in a dynamic display state. That is, the application program identifiers in the application list 40 are changed at any time according to the user's selection process of the group 10. When the user does not select the target group 20, only the identification of the second application 32 may be displayed in the application identification list 40, or any other applications may not be displayed as shown in FIG. 2. After the user selects the target group 20, the application list 40 of the third application 33 is displayed in the application identifier 40. When the user switches the target group 20, the third application 33 also changes as the target group 20 is switched. If there are multiple target groups 20 and they are selected in sequence, the number of third applications 33 will gradually decrease as the user selects them in sequence. Such dynamic display can facilitate the user to perform global control of the application programs in the mobile terminal 100 in a short time, which greatly improves the user's operating efficiency.

In an embodiment, using a preset flow control strategy to perform flow control on the applications in the selected group 10 includes:

S44. If the selection instruction simultaneously selects the target group 20 and the second application 32 or the third application 33, the application in the target group 20 and the second application 32 or the third application 33 are controlled to use the traffic data at the same time.

Specifically, the flow control strategy is executed on the application program in the target group 20 and the second application program 32 at the same time. The user uses the preset division to control the applications in batches, and at the same time, it also realizes the convenience of adding applications according to specific scenarios. Such a setting can enable the user to perform the same flow control policy management as the target group 20 on other applications except the target group 20 after selecting the target group 20. It saves users the cumbersome regrouping and batch operations.

It is understandable that if the selection instruction selects the target group 20 and the third application 33, the application in the target group 20 and the third application 33 are also controlled using the same flow control strategy. Because the embodiment of the third application program 33 is similar to the embodiment of the second application program 32, and the scope of the third application program 33 is larger than that of the second application program 32, the selection instruction simultaneously selects the target group 20 After that, no matter whether the second application 32 or the third application 33 is selected, the applications in the target group 20 and the second application 32 or the third application 33 are controlled by the same flow control strategy. It belongs to the control effect that can be achieved by the mobile terminal flow control method of this application.

In an embodiment, the selection instruction simultaneously selects the target group 20 and the second application program 32, including:

S45. Combine and save the application program in the selected target group 20 and the second application program 32 or the third application program 33 as a new group 10.

Specifically, after the user selects the target group 20 and the second application 32 or the third application 33, the user may have the second application 32 or the third application 33 included in the target group 20 for storage, which is convenient for the next time. Continue to choose the demand. At this point, you can save the user's selection by popping out the inquiry dialog box or automatically saving, and save the current operation selection as a new group 10, and the user then simultaneously performs flow control operations and adjustments in the flow control interface Operation of applications in group 10.

It is understandable that after the user selects the target group 20 or the third application 33, the third application 33 can be included in the target group 20 for storage. Or, if the application details in any flow control management selection of the user are different from the application details in any group 10, the user's flow control management operation can be saved as a new group 10. It is convenient for the user to quickly select the same operation next time.

In an embodiment, the mobile terminal flow control method of this application further includes:

S50. Display the group logo 21 of the target group 20 in the logo display area 50, wherein the logo display area 50 is set in the status bar 60, and the location of the logo display area 50 is related to the display position of the icon corresponding to the network usage function displayed on the status bar 60 .

Specifically, in the flow control interface, at least one group of groups 10 respectively correspond to different group names. According to different group names, each group 10 can be configured with different group identifiers 21. Referring to FIG. 6, after the user selects the target group 20, the group identifier 21 of the target group 20 may be displayed on the display interface of the mobile terminal 100. Specifically, the group identification 21 is provided with a corresponding identification display area 50. The identification display area 50 can be set on the status bar 60. The user can quickly learn the currently selected target group by viewing the status bar 60 when using the mobile terminal 100. 20. In turn, it is convenient for the user to make corresponding adjustments when perceiving that the target group 20 is not applicable to the current scene.

Further, the status bar 60 usually displays icons for network usage functions, such as icons for WIFI, mobile data, etc. Setting the logo display area 50 to be associated with the icon of the network usage function can more intuitively show the current traffic usage status to the user. When viewing the network usage function icon on the status bar 60, the user can obtain the information of the group identifier 21 at the same time, thereby knowing which group the current target group 20 belongs to.
