Description

Traffic sharing method, device and terminal

technical field

The present invention relates to the field of communications, and in particular, to a traffic sharing method, device, and terminal.

Background technique

With the popularity and popularity of terminals such as smartphones, using smartphones to surf the Internet has become a fashion and a habit, and the traffic problems generated by mobile Internet access have always plagued mobile phone users, such as insufficient traffic, insufficient traffic, and inability to determine WiFi For issues such as the location of hotspots, users hope to be able to: make full use of the monthly fixed traffic, and find a WiFi hotspot available for mobile phone connection at any time when the remaining traffic is insufficient, so as to use up the unlimited traffic. Share with others.

In traffic sharing, the client that can share traffic to others is called the sharing end, and the client that shares the traffic of others is called the access end. At present, the existing technology can complete the traffic sharing mainly through the following two ways to quickly connect to WiFi :

(1) Publish by generating a QR code from the WiFi password, or by using WAP (Wireless Application Protocol, Wireless Application Protocol) Push (push) method, NFC (Near Field Communication, near field communication) method, WeChat transmission method to publish, The access end parses the corresponding password information before connecting to WiFi.

(2) When the access terminal connects to the WiFi of the shared terminal for the first time, it needs to obtain verification and save the relevant password information in the database. When connecting for the second time, it directly uses the saved password information to connect.

In these two methods, a shared traffic server platform in an intermediate position is required to monitor the requests and responses of the access end and the shared end.

At present, these two methods only do not need to enter a password, but both require password verification.

The following describes the process of making a phone call and sending a text message to make a request and complete traffic sharing:

1. The process of completing traffic sharing by making a phone call includes:

(1) Pre-store the MAC address and phone number of the user who is allowed to share the network (that is, the access terminal in the above embodiment) through software on the mobile phone of the user with a large amount of traffic (that is, the sharing terminal in the above-mentioned embodiment). Just the MAC address or phone number), set it in the whitelist, you can also limit the maximum traffic that each user can use, or the total traffic that users with more traffic can share.

(2) When the requesting access user makes a call to the shared WiFi user when preparing to access the shared WiFi user, when the device of the shared WiFi user receives the dialing request, according to whether the phone number and/or the MAC address of the device is the same as that set in the software The same, if the same, do not verify the password of the access user, directly allow the access user to connect to WiFi, and query the current remaining traffic value, and return the value to the user, if the traffic has exceeded the limit value (in practical applications, you can Decide what kind of limit to set the traffic value according to your needs), you can tell the user that the traffic has exceeded the limit value by dialing, and the access user is not allowed to connect to WiFi.

(3) In the case that the WiFi function of the shared WiFi user is turned off, if the user requesting access has not reached the shared traffic upper limit (the above two popular upper limits are acceptable, and can be set as needed in practical applications) ), when a shared WiFi user receives a dial-up request, it can automatically turn on WiFi, allowing the requesting user to connect to the WiFi, and rejecting the requesting access user if the upper limit of shared traffic has been reached.

2. The process of completing traffic sharing by making a phone call includes:

(1) Pre-store the MAC address and phone number of the user who is allowed to share the network (that is, the access terminal in the above embodiment) through software on the mobile phone of the user with a large amount of traffic (that is, the sharing terminal in the above-mentioned embodiment). Just the MAC address or phone number), set it in the whitelist, you can also limit the maximum traffic that each user can use, or the total traffic that can be shared by users with more traffic.

(2) When the user requesting access is ready to access WiFi, it sends a short message to the shared WiFi user. When the device of the shared WiFi user receives the short message request, there is no need to verify the password of the requesting user. According to the phone number and/or the Whether the MAC address of the device is the same as the setting in the software, if it is the same, directly allow the access user to connect to WiFi, and check the current remaining traffic value, and return the value to the user, if the traffic has exceeded the limit value (in practical applications, you can According to the need to decide what kind of limit to set the traffic value), you can send a text message to inform the user that the traffic limit value has been exceeded, and the user is not allowed to connect to WiFi.

(3) In the case that the WiFi function of the shared WiFi user is turned off, if the user requesting access has not reached the shared traffic upper limit (the above two popular upper limits are acceptable, and can be set as needed in practical applications) ), when a shared WiFi user receives a text message request, it can automatically turn on WiFi, allowing the requesting access user to connect to the WiFi, and rejecting the requesting access user if the upper limit of shared traffic has been reached.

The technical implementation process of the traffic sharing method using the above-mentioned method of making a phone call or sending a short message is further described below from the software implementation level in combination with the application framework layer and the application program layer.

Please refer to FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 (FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram of a process of triggering a WiFi connection by dialing according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram of a process of triggering a WiFi connection by using a short message according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention). At the software implementation level, DTMF (Dual Tone Multi Frequency) signaling is required when making calls, and the DTMF encoder/decoder converts the information or numbers generated by keystrokes into dual-tone signals during encoding for transmission. , the received DTMF signal can be detected by the DTMF encoder/decoder during decoding, and the information or numbers generated by the base key can be restored. It should be noted that the codec used in dialing mode and SMS mode is different. Dialing mode transmits DTMF signaling, while SMS mode transmits PDU strings. Therefore, dialing mode requires DTMF signaling codec, while SMS mode transmits PDU strings. What is needed is the PDU string encoding and decoding.

Whether it is triggered by sending a text message or making a phone call, both parties need to agree in advance. For example, after making a call, press "11" or send a text message with the content of "Connect WiFi_XXX", the other party will decode and verify after receiving it and open the connection WiFi , use PDU to encode the content of the short message, and use DTMF to encode the content of the dial button to make a call. After the other party receives it, the PDU decoding or DTMF decoding is performed. If the agreed content is obtained, the WiFi connection is performed.

In the mobile phone Andriod system, when making a call or sending a text message, the application framework layer first receives the AT command from the other party, and then parses the AT command and uploads the content to the application layer. The application layer uses the Intent mechanism to pass messages between activities , and perform verification, such as verification by sending a message to the WiFi module, the WiFi module connects and opens the WiFi.

Preferably, in this preferred embodiment, the above-mentioned ways of making calls and sending short messages can also be expanded, and shared traffic can also be triggered by means of WeChat (provided that users who need to access must have traffic, and can use WeChat), Specifically, the flow sharing process can be implemented as follows:

(1) Pre-store the MAC address and phone number of the user who is allowed to share the network (that is, the access terminal in the above embodiment) through software on the mobile phone of the user with a large amount of traffic (that is, the sharing terminal in the above-mentioned embodiment). Just the MAC address or phone number), set it in the whitelist, you can also limit the maximum traffic that each user can use, or the total traffic that users with more traffic can share.

(2) When the user requesting access is ready to access WiFi, it sends a WeChat request to the shared WiFi user. When the device for sharing WiFi receives the WeChat request, there is no need to verify the password of the user requesting access. According to the phone number and/or Whether the MAC address of the device is the same as that set in the software, if it is the same, directly allow the requesting user to connect to WiFi, and query the current remaining traffic value, and return the value to the user. If the traffic has exceeded the limit value (in practical applications , you can decide what kind of limit to limit the flow value according to your needs), you can tell the user that the flow limit value has been exceeded by WeChat, and the user is not allowed to connect to WiFi.

(3) In the case that the WiFi function of the shared WiFi user is turned off, if the user requesting access has not reached the shared traffic upper limit (the above two popular upper limits are acceptable, and can be set as needed in practical applications) ), when a shared WiFi user receives a WeChat request, it can automatically turn on WiFi, allowing the requesting access user to connect to the WiFi connection, and rejecting the requesting access user if the upper limit of shared traffic has been reached.

The applicable scenarios of this preferred embodiment include scenarios in which traffic sharing can be implemented technically, such as smart phones, UFI (UCPM FROUM OF INNOVATION, UCPM Innovation Forum) products, and CPE (Customer Premise Equipment, customer premise equipment) products.

With this preferred embodiment, when the connected user's WiFi is turned off, the WiFi device can be quickly and automatically connected through dialing or SMS, the remaining traffic can be well shared, and the user's WiFi password or password change can be quickly performed without knowing the user's WiFi password or changing the password. connect.

The above are the preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the principles of the present invention, several improvements and modifications can be made. It should be regarded as being included in the protection scope of the present invention.
