Description

Data transmission method and electronic equipment

Technical Field

The embodiment of the invention relates to the technical field of communication, in particular to a data transmission method and electronic equipment.

Background

At present, electronic devices such as smart phones or tablet computers can only transmit data of all currently running applications (i.e., application programs) through one network (e.g., a Wireless Fidelity (wifi) network or a mobile network) at the same time. For example, most electronic devices only have one Wi-Fi module (or Wi-Fi network interface) for supporting the electronic device to communicate with one Wi-Fi access point at the same time so as to transmit data of an application through one Wi-Fi network.

Specifically, the network interface currently used by the electronic device is usually the default network of the system. In this way, even if the electronic device runs a large number of applications or the network quality of the system default network is poor, the electronic device may continue to transmit data of all the applications using the system default network. This results in poor flexibility of data transmission during the operation of the application by the electronic device.

It should be noted that, in the data transmission method provided in the embodiment of the present invention, the execution main body may be an electronic device, or a Central Processing Unit (CPU) of the electronic device, or a control module in the electronic device for executing the data transmission method. In the embodiment of the present invention, an electronic device executes a data transmission method as an example, and the data transmission method provided in the embodiment of the present invention is described.

The electronic device in the embodiment of the present invention may be an electronic device having an operating system. The operating system may be an Android (Android) operating system, an ios operating system, or other possible operating systems, and embodiments of the present invention are not limited in particular.

The following describes a software environment to which the data transmission method provided by the embodiment of the present invention is applied, by taking an android operating system as an example.

Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of an architecture of a possible android operating system according to an embodiment of the present invention. In fig. 1, the architecture of the android operating system includes 4 layers, which are respectively: an application layer, an application framework layer, a system runtime layer, and a kernel layer (specifically, a Linux kernel layer).

The application program layer comprises various application programs (including system application programs and third-party application programs) in an android operating system.

The application framework layer is a framework of the application, and a developer can develop some applications based on the application framework layer under the condition of complying with the development principle of the framework of the application. For example, applications such as a system setup application, a system chat application, and a system camera application. And the third-party setting application, the third-party camera application, the third-party chatting application and other application programs.

The system runtime layer includes libraries (also called system libraries) and android operating system runtime environments. The library mainly provides various resources required by the android operating system. The android operating system running environment is used for providing a software environment for the android operating system.

The kernel layer is an operating system layer of an android operating system and belongs to the bottommost layer of an android operating system software layer. The kernel layer provides kernel system services and hardware-related drivers for the android operating system based on the Linux kernel.

Taking an android operating system as an example, in the embodiment of the present invention, a developer may develop a software program for implementing the data transmission method provided in the embodiment of the present invention based on the system architecture of the android operating system shown in fig. 1, so that the data transmission method may operate based on the android operating system shown in fig. 1. That is, the processor or the electronic device may implement the data transmission method provided by the embodiment of the present invention by running the software program in the android operating system.

The data transmission method provided by the embodiment of the present invention is described in detail below with reference to the flowchart of the data transmission method shown in fig. 2. Wherein, although the logical order of the data transmission methods provided by embodiments of the present invention is shown in method flow diagrams, in some cases, the steps shown or described may be performed in an order different than here. For example, the data transmission method illustrated in fig. 2 may include S201' and S201:

s201', in the case that the electronic equipment runs the target application, the electronic equipment allocates N first networks for the target application.

S201, the electronic equipment transmits data of the target application by adopting N first networks.

The N first networks are networks in M networks for the electronic equipment to establish communication connection currently; the M networks include at least two Wi-Fi networks; m is a positive integer greater than or equal to 2, and N is a positive integer less than or equal to M.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, the M networks may include at least two Wi-Fi networks and a mobile data network.

Optionally, the Wi-Fi network provided by the embodiment of the present invention may be a wireless fidelity (wifi) network.

Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, the electronic device may include a plurality of network interfaces (or network modules), such as M network interfaces, and the electronic device is supported to connect to a network through each network interface so as to connect to a plurality of networks (such as the M networks).

It is to be understood that the electronic device allocates a network to the target application, in particular allocates a network interface to the target application.

Optionally, the electronic device may allocate a network for the target application when starting to run the target application.

It should be noted that the network interface is an interface that can communicate in software, and may correspond to an actual hardware interface or a virtual interface of software. Specifically, the network interface is used for supporting the electronic device to perform data transmission communication.

Optionally, N may be a preset value, such as 1 or 2. Specifically, the specific value of N may be determined according to actual use requirements, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

It is emphasized that the electronic device provided by the embodiment of the present invention may be connected to at least two Wi-Fi networks, so that the electronic device may transmit data through the at least two Wi-Fi networks at the same time; while the electronic device in the related art only includes one Wi-Fi network interface, that is, the electronic device can only transmit data through one Wi-Fi network at the same time.

It is understood that when the electronic device currently establishes communication connections with M networks, the M networks may be used simultaneously to transmit data. The electronic device can transmit data of the target application through the N first networks corresponding to the target application.

It should be noted that the M networks may include a system default network and other networks. Specifically, the N first networks may be default networks of the system, and may also be the other networks.

Alternatively, the target application may include one or more applications. In the following embodiments, a target application is described as an example. In addition, the target application is a part of or all of the applications currently running by the electronic device.

It will be appreciated that the networks allocated by the electronic device for different applications may be the same or different. At this time, if the target application changes, the N first networks allocated by the electronic device may change. That is, the electronic device may dynamically allocate different networks for different running applications to support different applications to transmit data using different networks.

For example, in a case that the electronic device requires high-throughput data transmission, if data of all currently running applications are transmitted using the system default network, the system default network is busy and cannot normally transmit data of the target application. At this time, the electronic device may allocate, to the target application, the N first networks corresponding to the target application as at least one network other than the network default to the system, so that data of the target application is normally transmitted, and stability of operation of the target application is ensured. Where throughput is used to represent the amount of data transmitted in 1 second.

It should be noted that the data transmission method provided in the embodiment of the present invention may support the electronic device to establish a communication connection with M networks at the same time, where the M networks include at least two Wi-Fi networks. Specifically, in a case where the electronic device runs the target application, the electronic device may transmit data of the target application by using N first networks, where the number of the N first networks is one or more and is a network corresponding to the target application, and is not necessarily a network default to the system. Therefore, the flexibility of using the network in the data transmission process is improved, the possibility that a certain network is busy is reduced to a certain extent, and the stability of running and application of the electronic equipment is improved.

In a possible implementation manner, in the data transmission method provided in the embodiment of the present invention, the N first networks are determined according to a target manner; the target mode is used for indicating that the user-defined network is determined as N first networks (marked as mode 1); or, the network quality of the network used by the application with higher priority is better (denoted as mode 2).

Optionally, in the mode 1, the network customized by the user may be a network required by the user, such as a network with the best network quality currently.

In the mode 2, the electronic device may reallocate the network for the running application according to the change of the running application and the network quality change of a different network in real time, so that the data of the running application may be transmitted through the reallocated network.

It will be appreciated that the higher priority applications are generally applications that require higher user usage, such as applications that are used more frequently by the user or applications that require higher operational stability. Therefore, the application with better network quality is distributed to the application with higher priority, and the stability of application operation is favorably improved.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, the network quality may be measured by a data transmission rate and/or a data retransmission rate of the network. The higher the data transmission rate of the network is, the better the network quality is, and/or the lower the data retransmission rate of the network is, the better the network quality is.

Optionally, the data transmission rate of the network includes a two-layer retransmission rate and/or a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) retransmission rate, and the data retransmission rate of the network is the two-layer transmission rate.

The two-layer retransmission refers to that when the electronic device uses a Wi-Fi module (i.e., a Wi-Fi network) to send a data packet to the Wi-Fi wireless access point, the electronic device does not receive an Acknowledgement (ACK) returned by the Wi-Fi wireless access point for various reasons, and triggers the data packet to be sent again.

The two-layer retransmission rate refers to the ratio of the number of packets of the data packets retransmitted by the electronic device in a period of time to the number of packets of all the transmitted data packets.

The two-layer transmission rate refers to the transmission rate of data packets in the wireless medium.

The TCP retransmission refers to a situation that, for various reasons, a TCP packet sent by the electronic device does not receive an ACK packet returned by the server, and the TCP packet is triggered to be retransmitted.

The TCP retransmission rate refers to the ratio of the number of TCP retransmission packets to the number of all transmission packets over a period of time.

Further, it should be noted that the electronic device uses a socket (socket) to implement data transmission using a network. A socket is used to indicate that two programs (e.g., applications) on a network implement data exchange via a bidirectional communication connection, and is specifically used for connection between two communication ends. In the embodiment of the invention, the socket is mainly used for communication between the application client of the electronic equipment and the remote server.

It should be noted that, with the data transmission method provided in the embodiment of the present invention, since the electronic device determines that the target modes of the N first networks corresponding to the target application may be multiple, the flexibility of using the networks during data transmission may be further improved.

Optionally, one application has one attribute parameter, and the priorities of different applications are determined according to the attribute parameters of the respective applications. Wherein one attribute parameter comprises at least one of: whether the application runs in the foreground or not, whether the application is in a preset list or not, and the application type of the application.

Specifically, the priority of the target application is determined according to the target parameters; wherein the target parameters include at least one of: whether the target application runs in the foreground or not, whether the target application is an application in a preset list or not, and the application type of the target application.

It is understood that the target parameters are attribute parameters of the target application.

In example 1, in the case that the target parameter includes whether the target application is running in the foreground (denoted as parameter 1), that is, the target parameter is used to indicate whether the target application is running in the foreground, the electronic device may allocate the network with the best network quality to the application running in the foreground, and allocate other networks except the network among the M networks to the application running in the background.

Wherein, the application running in the foreground refers to the application displayed in front of the screen with which the user is interacting. An application running in the background refers to an application that the user is not currently interacting with, is not displayed on the screen, but is still active.

It can be appreciated that users typically require that the stability of foreground application runs be higher than the stability of background application runs.

For example, the electronic device runs an application that is downloading a video (e.g., a movie) with a large data volume in the background, and at this time, the electronic device occupies a bandwidth of a network corresponding to the application running in the background; at this time, if the electronic device simultaneously runs the application of online game battle in the foreground, the application running in the foreground is not affected by the video downloaded by the application running in the background due to the fact that the network adopted by the application running in the foreground is different from the network adopted by the application running in the background.

In example 2, in the case that the target parameter includes whether the target application is an application in the preset list (denoted as parameter 2), that is, the target parameter is used to indicate whether the target application is an application in the preset list, the priority of the application in the preset list is higher than the priority of the applications outside the preset list.

The preset list can be customized by a user or preset by an electronic equipment system.

Further, optionally, the preset list may include some application types of applications, such as applications including an online game class and an instant messaging class.

In addition, the user may manually control the electronic device to add some applications to the preset list.

In example 3, when the target parameter includes an application type (denoted as parameter 3) of the target application, that is, the target parameter is used to indicate the application type of the target application, if the electronic device runs a plurality of applications of different application types, the electronic device may sequentially allocate different networks having sequentially reduced network quality for different applications having sequentially reduced priorities of the application types. If the electronic device runs one or more applications with the same application type, the electronic device may allocate the same network to the applications with the same application type, for example, allocate a network with the best network quality.

Exemplary application types may include an instant messaging type, a news information type, an online game type, a video playing type, and the like, and the application types provided by the embodiment of the present invention include, but are not limited to, the above listed types. For example, applications such as online games, video playback, instant messaging, and news information are lower in priority.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, the electronic device may determine the priority of the application (e.g., the target application) by using one or more of the target parameters.

Similarly, for the description of the target parameters including multiple parameters to affect the priority of the application, reference may be made to the related description of the above embodiment for each parameter in the target parameters to affect the priority of the application, and this is not described in detail in this embodiment of the present invention.

In the data transmission method provided by the embodiment of the present invention, since the priorities of different applications are different, and the requirements of the applications with different priorities on the network quality of the network are different, the network with different network qualities is allocated to the applications with different priorities, and the network can be reasonably allocated. Therefore, the stability of the running application of the electronic equipment is improved.

In a possible implementation manner, in a case where the target application runs in the foreground and is an application in a preset list, the N first networks are the second networks with the best network quality among the M networks; and under the condition that the target application runs in the background, the N first networks are other networks except the second network in the M networks.

And the second network is one or more previous networks with the network quality from top to bottom in the M networks.

It can be understood that the applications running in the foreground and the applications in the preset list are both applications with high user requirement, and the applications running in the background are applications with relatively low user requirement. Therefore, under the condition that the target application runs in the foreground and is an application in the preset list, the electronic equipment allocates a second network with the best network quality to the target application; under the condition that the target application runs in the background, the electronic equipment allocates other networks except the second network to the target application, so that the stability of the running application of the electronic equipment is improved, and the flexibility of using the network for data transmission is improved.

In a possible implementation manner, the data transmission method provided in the embodiment of the present invention may further include, after the above step S201, S202 and S203:

s202, under the condition that the first condition is met, if the target application runs in the foreground and is an application in the preset list, the electronic equipment transmits data of the target application by adopting N third networks.

And S203, if the first condition is met and the target application runs in the background, the electronic equipment transmits the data of the target application by adopting K fourth networks.

Wherein the first condition comprises: detecting N networks with the highest network quality in the M networks according to the continuous preset times of the first time interval, wherein the N first networks are changed into N third networks; the K fourth networks are networks except the N third networks in the M networks, and K is a positive integer.

For example, the K fourth networks may be networks with network quality lower than the N third networks, or may be default networks of the system.

For example, the first time interval may be 1 second(s), and the preset number of times may be 3.

It is to be understood that, in the event that at least one of the target application is switched from being run in the foreground to being run in the background, the target application is switched from being run in the background to being run in the foreground, and the network quality of the network changes, the electronic device may reallocate the network for the target application, that is, update the N first networks, so as to transmit the data of the target application using the updated N first networks.

In the embodiment of the present invention, because the electronic device may update the N first networks corresponding to the target application in real time, even if the target application is switched from background operation to foreground operation or the network quality of the N first networks adopted by the current target application is degraded, the electronic device may enable the target application to continue to transmit data by using the updated N first networks. Therefore, the stability of the running application of the electronic equipment can be further improved, and the flexibility of a network used for data transmission is improved.

In a possible implementation manner, the data transmission method provided in the embodiment of the present invention may further include S204 and S205, and for example, before the above S202, the data transmission method may further include S204 and S205:

s204, the electronic equipment detects the network quality of each network in the M networks according to the second time interval.

Wherein the second time interval is greater than the first time interval.

Illustratively, the second time interval may be 3 seconds(s).

S205, the electronic device detects the quality of each network in the M networks according to a first time interval when detecting that the N networks with the highest network quality in the M networks are changed from the N first networks to the N third networks.

Further, if the electronic device detects that the N networks with the highest network quality among the M networks are still N first networks according to the first time interval for the consecutive preset times, the electronic device resumes detecting the network quality of each network among the M networks according to the second time interval. Of course, the electronic device will not reallocate the network for the target application.

In addition, the electronic device may resume detecting the network quality of each of the M networks at the second time interval after the electronic device reallocates a network for the target application if the first condition is satisfied.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, when the electronic device detects that a network with the highest network quality among M networks is changed from N first networks to N third networks, the electronic device may switch the detection time from the second time interval to the shorter first time interval, which is beneficial to improving that the electronic device reallocates a network to a target application quickly.

In a possible implementation manner, in the data transmission method provided in the embodiment of the present invention, before the step S201, the method further includes steps S206 and S207:

s206, the electronic equipment receives a first input of a user.

The first input is used for triggering the electronic device to determine a target mode, where the target mode is determined to be the mode 1 or the mode 2.

Optionally, when the M networks include at least two Wi-Fi networks and a mobile data network, and the N first networks are user-defined, the N first networks are: a system default Wi-Fi network in the electronic device (denoted as a master Wi-Fi network), other Wi-Fi networks in the M networks than the system default Wi-Fi network (denoted as slave Wi-Fi networks), or a mobile data network.

Specifically, the above-described mode 2 includes a mode 2a, a mode 2b, and a mode 2 c. The mode 2a is used for instructing the electronic device to use the main Wi-Fi network as the network corresponding to the target application. The mode 2b is used to instruct the electronic device to treat the secondary Wi-Fi network as a network corresponding to the target application. The means 2c is for instructing the electronic device to treat the mobile network as a network corresponding to the target application.

The user-defined network can comprise a plurality of networks, so that the flexibility of using the network in the data transmission process can be further improved under the condition that the electronic equipment distributes the user-defined network to the target application.

Further, optionally, if the network corresponding to the target application indicated by the method 2 does not exist, the electronic device may take the method 1 as the target method again, and reallocate the network for the target application.

It should be noted that the screen of the electronic device provided in the embodiment of the present invention may be implemented by a touch screen having a display function and a touch function, where the touch screen may be configured to receive an input from a user and display a content corresponding to the input to the user in response to the input. The first input may be a touch screen input, a fingerprint input, a gravity input, a key input, or the like. The touch screen input is input such as a press input, a long press input, a slide input, a click input, a hover input (an input by a user near the touch screen) of a touch screen of the electronic device by the user. The fingerprint input is input by a user to a sliding fingerprint, a long-time pressing fingerprint, a single-click fingerprint, a double-click fingerprint and the like of a fingerprint recognizer of the electronic equipment. The gravity input is input such as shaking of the electronic equipment in a specific direction, shaking of the electronic equipment for a specific number of times and the like by a user. The key input corresponds to a single-click input, a double-click input, a long-press input, a combination key input, and the like, of a user for a key of a power key, a volume key, a Home key, and the like of the electronic device. Specifically, the embodiment of the present invention does not specifically limit the manner of the first input, and may be any realizable manner.

Optionally, the embodiment of the present invention may provide a control for triggering the determination of the target mode, such as a control for determining the target mode for each application, or a control for determining the target mode for all applications.

Further, optionally, a control for targeting a manner for each application may be provided in the vicinity of an icon for each application. And, the electronic device may display a respective control in proximity to the icon of each application upon the user's trigger.

For example, the first input may be an input of a user to a control corresponding to the target application.

S207, responding to the first input, the electronic equipment determines a target mode.

It is to be understood that, after the electronic device determines the target manner, when the electronic device starts to run the target application, the electronic device may start to allocate a network for the target application in the target manner, so that the electronic device may transmit data of the target application using the network determined in the target manner.

For example, the following describes a data transmission method provided by an embodiment of the present invention by taking the operation process shown in fig. 3 as an example. As shown in fig. 3 (a), the electronic device displays an icon of application 1, an icon of application 2, an icon of application 3, and an icon of application 4 on the screen. After the user long-presses the screen for 3 seconds, or the icons of any of the applications for 3 seconds, the electronic device displays a control K1 in the upper left corner of the icon of application 1, a control K2 in the upper left corner of the icon of application 2, a control K3 in the upper left corner of the icon of application 3, and a control K4 in the upper left corner of the icon of application 4, as shown in fig. 3 (b). The controls K1 to K4 are all used to determine the target mode of the corresponding application, and the controls K1 to K4 may identify which mode the target mode of the corresponding application is.

Taking the control K1 as an example, after the user makes one input (e.g., clicking input) to the control K1, the electronic device may switch the target mode currently indicated by the control K1 to another target mode. The control K1 displays a text "self" for identifying that the target mode corresponding to the application 1 is the mode 1. The control K1 displays a text "main" indicating that the target mode corresponding to the application 1 is the mode 2 a. The control K1 displays the text "auxiliary" to indicate that the target mode corresponding to the application 1 is the mode 2 b. The control K1 displays a text "number" indicating that the target mode corresponding to the application 1 is the mode 2 c. Specifically, with the input of the user to the control K1, the electronic device switches the target mode identified by the control K1 in the order of the mode 1, the mode 2a, the mode 2b, and the mode 2 c. Accordingly, the characters displayed in the control K1 are switched in the order of "self", "main", "auxiliary", and "number".

Similarly, the detailed descriptions of the controls K2-K4 can refer to the above description of the control K1, and are not repeated here.
