Detailed Description

Reference will now be made in detail to the exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, like numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The implementations described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all implementations consistent with the present examples. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with certain aspects of the present examples, as detailed in the appended claims.

As shown in fig. 1, the present embodiment provides a flow rate usage control method, including:

s11: acquiring flow use information of different user spaces in the mobile terminal;

s12: and according to the flow use information, carrying out flow use limitation on the first class of space in the user space.

The traffic usage control method provided by the embodiment can be applied to each mobile terminal. The mobile terminal includes but is not limited to: a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a smart television or a wearable device, etc.

In some embodiments, the first type of space may be some or all of the different user spaces. For example, the first type of space may be one or more of a plurality of user spaces configured within the mobile terminal. The plurality of user spaces may be equal parallel user spaces or different user spaces having different permission levels.

In other embodiments, a plurality of the user spaces may be divided into a first type space and a second type space. At this time, the user rights of the first type space and the second type space are different. For example, the user authority range of the second type space is larger than that of the first type space. For another example, the second-type space is a master user space, and the first-type user space is a slave user space. Alternatively, the second type of space is the administrative user space of the first type of space.

At least two user spaces are configured within an operating system of a mobile terminal. For example, a user space within the Android system is configured with at least two user spaces. The usage of different user spaces is user-different. For example, for a child and a parent, a user space for the parent (referred to simply as a parent space) and a user space for the child (referred to simply as a child space) are configured. In this case, the parent space may be the second type of space, and the child space may be the first type of space.

For another example, if the mobile terminal is a mobile terminal used by a family member in common, different user spaces may be set for different family members, for example, for elders, a user space of elders (may be simply referred to as elder space), a child space for children, and a young person (young person space) may be configured in consideration of age. The same or different applications may be configured in different user spaces. Different user spaces may have a spatial setting that is adapted to the age or characteristics of the user.

For another example, if the mobile terminal can be a teaching terminal, different user spaces are configured for teachers and students respectively. Different user spaces are configured with different usage rights. At this time, the teacher user space used by the teacher may be the aforementioned second type space, and the user space used by the student may be the aforementioned first type space.

In the embodiment of the application, the user spaces are distinguished for carrying out traffic statistics, so that traffic use conditions of each user space are obtained. As such, a traffic usage limit may be determined for the first type of space.

For example, in S12, when the usage flow rate of the first type space has reached the upper limit of the flow rate in the current usage period, the traffic flow rate in the first type space may be prohibited from being used continuously according to the monitored traffic flow rate usage information of each user space in the usage period of days, weeks, or months. And when the used flow of the first type of space does not reach the upper flow limit of the current use period, allowing the flow of the first type of space to be continuously used.

If the traffic of the first type space is allowed to be continuously used, the mobile terminal can continuously surf the internet through the cellular mobile network in the first type space; denying that the mobile terminal cannot continue to surf the internet through the cellular mobile network in the first-class space.

Therefore, the flow use information of the user-divided space is obtained, the flow use can be limited for the first space needing flow control, the situations of flow waste and excessive internet access caused by the first space unlimited use flow of the child space and the like are reduced, and the safe use of the mobile terminal of a specific user such as a child is realized.

Performing traffic usage restriction in S12 may include:

a total volume limit of flow;

rate limiting of the traffic;

a time limit for the flow rate to be used, etc.

In short, one or more of the traffic usage restrictions of the first type space can reduce the physical and psychological health problems caused by the unregulated internet access of the first type space users.

For example, the maximum internet speed of a child when the child uses the mobile terminal in the child space can be limited by the speed limit of the traffic, so that the child is prohibited from viewing internet access at a high traffic rate such as a network video.

For another example, children are allowed to use traffic to surf the internet before 7 pm and are not allowed to use traffic to surf the internet after 7 pm, which is achieved by using time limit of traffic.

In some embodiments, different applications are installed in different user spaces.

However, in a particular implementation, one application may be installed into multiple user spaces. However, in the embodiment of the present application, for monitoring usage traffic of different user spaces, one application program is installed in the mobile terminal, but different application identifications are configured when the application program belongs to different user spaces.

For example, one application is installed in both the user space 1 and the user space 2, and the application is installed only once in the mobile terminal, but is configured with two application ids, an application id1 used when the application is used in the user space 1 and an application id2 used when the application is used in the user space 2. When the user space 1 is used, the application program adopts the application identifier 1, so that the traffic monitoring record includes the application identifier 1 and the traffic usage of the application program.

As shown in fig. 2, the method further comprises: s10: and monitoring the flow of the mobile terminal to obtain a flow monitoring record.

For example, the entire mobile terminal may monitor the data amount of its network interface, and the traffic of the entire mobile terminal may be obtained.

In some embodiments, the NETD service is used to monitor traffic of the entire mobile terminal, and the traffic monitoring record is obtained. For example, the S10 may include: and monitoring the traffic condition of the mobile terminal through the NETD service in the mobile terminal to obtain the traffic monitoring record. However, the NETD service does not distinguish the space identifier for traffic monitoring, and in the embodiment of the present application, traffic is distinguished by the application identifier, so that traffic use information of each user space can be obtained.

The NETD service is a background daemon specially responsible for network management and control in the Android system, and a central module for forwarding and processing network related messages and commands in the Android system is mainly responsible for realizing functions related to network operation of some physical ports.

The S11 may include: and acquiring the traffic use information of different user spaces according to the application identifier used when the application program generates traffic in the traffic monitoring record.

When the mobile terminal performs statistics of the usage traffic, the mobile terminal may be integrated. When the flow use information of the unused user space is distinguished, hydrogen is used according to the whole flow of the mobile terminal, and the flow generated by the current application program can be distinguished to belong to the user space by combining application identifications of the application program in different application spaces.

The application identification may in turn become a User Identification (UID).

Therefore, even if the mobile terminal cannot directly distinguish the application spaces for traffic monitoring, the traffic use information of each user space can be distinguished according to the application identifiers of the application programs in different application spaces after the whole monitoring, and the method has the characteristic of simplicity and convenience in realization.

In some embodiments, different ones of the user spaces are configured with different application identification segments. For example, one user space is configured with one application identifier segment, and the number of application identifiers contained in one application identifier segment may be 100, 1000, 10000, and the like.

In some embodiments, the number of application identifications included in the application identification segments that are not configured in user space may be the same or different. For example, the user space with a large authority range has application identification segments with a larger identification number, so that the number of application programs installed in the user space with a small authority range is limited.

The S12 may include:

By means of table lookup, the application identifier which generates the traffic consumption in the traffic monitoring record can be determined to the application identifier section where the application identifier section is located, and then traffic use information of each user space is counted according to the user space to which the application identifier section belongs.

As shown in fig. 3, a mobile terminal is configured with 3 user spaces, which are user space 1, user space 2, and user space 3, and the space identifiers of these user spaces are: user ID1, User ID2, and User ID 3. Each space identifier corresponds to a user identifier segment, which is a user identifier segment 1, a user identifier segment 2 and a user identifier segment 3 in sequence.

In some embodiments, the traffic usage information includes at least: total flow used by each user space. In some cases, the traffic usage information may further include: time information of traffic generation, etc.

In some embodiments, the unused user spaces have different space identifications; the application identification sections corresponding to different user spaces contain the same number of application identifications;

the S12 may include:

Rounding here may include rounding up, or rounding down.

For example,

alternatively, the first and second electrodes may be,

wherein, UserID is space identification; UID is application identification; and N is the number of the application identifications contained in the application identification section corresponding to one user space.

In the embodiment of the application, the user space to which the corresponding flow belongs can be known directly through the calculation, a table look-up mode is not needed, memory occupied by table storage and time delay generated by query are reduced when the table look-up mode is used, and the method has the characteristic of simple implementation mode.

In some embodiments, the method further comprises:

In the embodiment of the invention, the application identifier is allocated to the application program by the mobile terminal. If an application program is installed in the mobile terminal, the application program is configured to each user space, and when the application program is configured to the user space (which is equivalent to being installed to the corresponding user space), an application identifier is correspondingly allocated to the application program when the application program is used in the application space.

In some embodiments, the S12 may include: and when the usage flow of the first type space exceeds the upper flow limit, forbidding the issuing of the network access request generated in the first type space.

Therefore, when the usage flow of the first type of space exceeds the upper flow limit, the network access request can not be sent out by intercepting the network access request generated in the first type of space, so that the flow can not be further generated, and the internet surfing behavior of the user in the first type of space is limited.

In some embodiments, the user space further comprises: a second type of space; the method further comprises the following steps:

For example, the second type space may be a parent space, and the child space may be configured with a rule of traffic usage restriction, so as to obtain a configuration rule.

The configuration rule may include: and configuring the total traffic usage amount, wherein the configuration rule includes the traffic upper limit. The configuration rule may further include: configuration of traffic usage rate and/or traffic usage time, etc.

In a word, according to the traffic use information of the first-class space, the upper limit of the traffic use, the traffic use time and/or the traffic use rate of the first-class space are/is limited, and the phenomena that users in the first-class space such as children surf the internet excessively or waste traffic are simplified.

In some embodiments, the second type of space, that is, the first type of space is created under the usage right of a general user or an administrator, and the second type of space may regulate traffic usage of the first type of space. A child may not use a mobile cellular communication network on a mobile terminal for a limited period of time. The first type of space may not continue to use the mobile cellular communication network on the mobile terminal beyond the usage time. The second space can be opened without limitation, or closed forcibly. Meanwhile, the second type space is not limited by the first type space.

As shown in fig. 4, the present embodiment provides a flow rate usage control device including:

an obtaining module 41, configured to obtain traffic usage information of different user spaces in the mobile terminal;

and a limiting module 42, configured to perform traffic usage limitation on the first class space in the user space according to the traffic usage information.

the limiting module 42 is specifically configured to perform traffic usage limitation on the first class space according to the configuration rule and the traffic.

Several specific examples are provided below in connection with any of the embodiments described above:

example 1:

the present example provides a method for controlling traffic usage across system spaces, which implements separate statistics on application traffic in each user space in a dual-user space, and implements traffic access usage limitation on applications in a single user space in the dual-user space.

The current application scene is that the flow usage of the application in the child space is counted in the child space, when the flow value set by a parent is exceeded, the application in the child space cannot continue to use a data network to surf the internet, and meanwhile, the application in the parent space is not limited to surf the internet. Therefore, unnecessary economic loss caused by operation error or long-time internet surfing without supervision of the children is avoided. Meanwhile, the method does not cause any influence on the use of the mobile phone by parents.

Example 2:

the application traffic in each user space in the dual-user space needs to be separately counted, and meanwhile, the traffic access use limitation of the application in a single user space in the dual-user space needs to be realized.

And realizing separate statistics on the application flow in each user space of the double user spaces. Each Android application can determine the UID of one application when installed, and a multi-space scheme under an Android multi-user mechanism can determine a userId for each user space. The UIDs of applications in different spaces (users) are regular, and the userId can be calculated from the UID of the application. The userId may be calculated as follows:

UserID is UID/100000 and is rounded;

this makes it possible to confirm under which user space an application belongs.

In addition, the statistics and management of the Android on the data traffic use are carried out in the process of the NETD, the NETD has no concept of userId, and only the traffic used by each application UID is counted. And confirming the UserID corresponding to the UID so as to screen the information acquired by the NETD, thereby acquiring the traffic usage statistics under each user space (user).

And limiting the use of the flow internet access applied in the single user space in the double user space. By the method, the user space to which the application belongs can be confirmed.

By modifying the process of accessing the NETD to the network, when the use of the space traffic reaches the upper limit, the application in the space can be prohibited from sending out network access when the data traffic is sent out.

The method and the device realize the separate statistics of the application flow in each user space of the dual-user space, and simultaneously realize the flow internet access use limitation of the application in a single user space in the dual-user space.
