The present application will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1 , a method for enabling a multi-frequency WiFi hotspot is proposed. The method can be implemented by relying on a computer program and can be run on a device for enabling a multi-frequency WiFi hotspot based on the von Neumann system. . The computer program can be integrated into an application or run as a stand-alone utility application.

Specifically, the method for enabling a multi-frequency WiFi hotspot includes:

Step 101: Receive a hotspot opening instruction, and acquire multiple hotspot frequency bands supported by the terminal.

The instructions are instructions and commands to instruct the terminal to work, and can be understood as a code specifying a certain control to perform a certain operation or function realization. In the embodiment of the present application, the hotspot activation instruction may be understood as instructing the terminal to execute the code for enabling the function of the multi-frequency WiFi hotspot, and the terminal may activate the multi-frequency WiFi hotspot by executing the code.

In this embodiment of the present application, the terminal, as a hotspot access device, can provide devices connected to multiple WiFi hotspots. After the multi-frequency WiFi hotspot function is enabled, the terminal acts as a multi-frequency WiFi router and is within the signal coverage of the terminal's multi-frequency WiFi hotspot. The electronic devices (such as mobile phones and tablets) inside can scan the hotspot signal of the terminal. Take the terminal as a mobile phone and the supported multi-band WiFi hotspot as an example of a dual-band WiFi hotspot. After the multi-band WiFi hotspot is enabled on the terminal, through configuration, the mobile phone can work at 2.4GHZ and 5GHZ dual-band WiFi at the same time.

The "2.4GHZ" and "5GHZ" are the hotspot frequency bands supported by the terminal. Usually, the terminal can support a complete wireless network including 802.11a/b/g/n, which belongs to the fifth-generation Wi-Fi transmission technology. Among them, the 2.4GHz frequency band and the 5GHz frequency band mentioned above have their own advantages and disadvantages. The 2.4GHz frequency band has a long coverage distance and good wall penetration, but has poor anti-interference and lower speed. The 5GHz frequency band has strong anti-interference and high speed, but the coverage The distance is short and the wall penetration is poor.

Wherein, after receiving the hotspot activation instruction input by the user, the terminal executes the multi-frequency WiFi hotspot activation method mentioned in the embodiment of the present application, so as to activate the hotspots corresponding to the multiple hotspot frequency bands respectively, such as turning on the A hotspot, the B hotspot, C hotspot, among them, A hotspot, B hotspot and C hotspot are generally 3 WiFi hotspots working in different hotspot frequency bands, A hotspot can be the 2.4GHZ hotspot frequency band widely used now, B hotspot can be 5GHZ frequency band, C hotspot can be It is a hotspot of other hotspot frequency bands except 2.4GHZ and 5GHZ. It should be noted that the implementation of this application involves multiple hotspot frequency bands and is not specifically limited. In practical applications, the hotspot frequency bands are not limited to the 5GHZ and 2.4 mentioned above. GHZ hotspot band.

In a specific implementation scenario, the hotspot activation instruction received by the terminal may be received according to a selection operation input by the user. The terminal may include a touch screen, and the touch screen has a function of sensing a user's touch operation. The structure of the touch screen includes at least 4 parts: the screen glass layer, the sensor film, the display panel layer, and the controller board. The sensor film has a touch sensor layer and contains a variety of sensors, such as pressure sensors, position sensors, etc. , when the user touches the icon of the "hot spot" on the current display interface of the terminal, the touch screen of the terminal can obtain the position parameter of the touch through the sensor therein. Then, the location parameter is processed, and it is recognized that the "hotspot" icon on the display interface corresponding to the location parameter is touched, and the terminal can recognize and receive the hotspot activation instruction input by the user.

In a specific implementation scenario, as shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of the personal hotspot interface of the terminal, and the display interface of the terminal shown in FIG. will share your internet connection...), personal hotspot settings options, connection management options, and more.

When the user can select the "Personal Hotspot" option in the setting interface of the terminal, and then select the "Personal Hotspot Enable Icon" on the touch screen of the terminal in the "Personal Hotspot Interface" of the terminal as shown in Figure 2; or, the user The menu interface can be pulled down on the desktop of the terminal. A schematic diagram of the menu interface of the terminal is shown in Figure 3. The user can select and open the "Personal Hotspot" icon by touching the finger. Specifically, by touching the screen on the touch screen glass layer, the touch screen of the terminal obtains the position parameter corresponding to the touch "personal hotspot open icon" through the position sensor in the sensor film, and then processes the position parameter to recognize the command input by the user to open the personal hotspot , at this time, by reading and executing the machine-executable instruction corresponding to the control logic for enabling the "personal hotspot open icon", the next step of "obtaining multiple hotspot frequency bands supported by the terminal" is performed.

Optionally, the hotspot activation instruction input by the user may be completed by an external device, for example, the user may select the hotspot activation instruction input by the personal hotspot activation icon of the current display interface through an external device such as a laser pointer/mouse connected to the terminal; It may be that the user activates the personal hotspot instruction through voice input (for example, the voice input activates the personal hotspot, etc.); it may be that the user collects the user's gesture control instruction through the camera included in the terminal to complete a specific operation - "opening the personal hotspot operation", or It is a personal hotspot turn-on instruction for the terminal, etc., which is input by pressing the physical keys (power on/off key, volume key, etc.) of the terminal.

The terminal responds to the hotspot opening instruction after receiving the hotspot opening instruction input by the user. Usually, the information of the hotspot frequency bands supported by the terminal can be stored in the local storage space, and the terminal can obtain the information of the supported hotspot frequency bands in the local storage space, and each supported hotspot frequency band can be obtained based on the hotspot frequency band information.

Step 102: Create hotspot configuration files corresponding to the multiple hotspot frequency bands respectively, where the hotspot configuration file includes hotspot configuration information.

The hotspot configuration file includes the hotspot name or other identifiers (network ID), the wireless key or password used to access the hotspot network, and the hotspot configuration information such as the encryption type. It can be understood that the terminal is creating the hotspot configuration file so as to The hardware related to the hotspot function at the bottom layer of the terminal is based on the hotspot configuration file, and the configuration information in the configuration file is obtained to configure the hotspot, such as configuring ports based on the configuration information.

Wherein, the hotspot configuration file can be determined based on the type of the terminal operating system. For example, when the operating system of the terminal is an IOS system developed by Apple (including a system based on the deep development of the IOS system), the created configuration file can be a mobileconfig file; When the operating system of the terminal is an Android system (including a system deeply developed based on the Android system), the created configuration file may be a wificonfig file, or an XML file created by other operating systems, and so on.

In a specific implementation scenario, when the user enables the hotspot function of the terminal, on the display interface of the terminal as shown in FIG. 2 , the user can select the "personal hotspot setting" option to input the personal hotspot setting instruction to the terminal. At this time, The terminal responds to the personal hotspot setting instruction input by the user, and displays a "personal hotspot setting" interface on the current display interface, as shown in Figure 4, which is a schematic interface diagram of a personal hotspot setting interface, as shown in Figure 4. On the personal hotspot setting interface shown, the user can set each hotspot in multiple hotspot frequency bands separately, taking the multiple hotspot frequency bands as 2.4GHZ frequency band and 5.0GHZ frequency band as an example. For example, the user can set the configuration information of the hotspots in each hotspot frequency band in turn, for example, set the configuration information of the hotspots in the 2.4GHZ frequency band first, and then set the configuration information of the hotspots in the 5.0GHZ frequency band. The configuration information may be configuration items such as a hotspot name, a hotspot encryption method, and a password.

Specifically, click the "AP frequency band" option in the interface shown in Figure 4, as shown in Figure 5, Figure 5 is a schematic diagram of the interface for selecting the AP frequency band for hotspot configuration, the user clicks the "AP frequency band" option, You can select the 2.4GHZ frequency band, and then set the configuration information of the hotspot in the 2.4GHZ frequency band accordingly, such as the hotspot name in the 2.4GHZ frequency band, the hotspot encryption method, and the password in the 2.4GHZ frequency band. To set the configuration information of the hotspot, the user can click the "AP frequency band" option again to select the 5.0GHZ frequency band, and then set the configuration information of the hotspot in the 5.0GHZ frequency band accordingly, such as the hotspot name and hotspot encryption method in the 5.0GHZ frequency band. , 5.0GHZ frequency band password and other configuration items to set; after the setting is completed, you can select the "Save" option as shown in Figure 4 to input the save command, the terminal responds to the save command input by the user, and creates the multiple hotspots Hotspot profiles corresponding to the frequency bands, such as creating a 2.4GHZ hotspot profile and a 5.0GHZ hotspot profile corresponding to the 2.4GHZ frequency band and the 5.0GHZ frequency band respectively.

In a specific implementation scenario, after receiving the hotspot activation instruction input by the user, the terminal may directly create a configuration file associated with the wireless network based on the default wireless access configuration document, which can be understood The hotspot information corresponding to each hotspot frequency band among the default hotspot frequency bands of the terminal, for example, the hotspot information of the 2.4GHZ frequency band among the default hotspot frequency bands includes but not limited to hotspot name, hotspot encryption method, password and other configuration items. Therefore, the user does not need to manually set the hotspot information corresponding to the multiple hotspot frequency bands, and can conveniently and quickly open and create hotspot configuration files corresponding to the multiple hotspot frequency bands.

In a specific implementation scenario, after receiving the hotspot activation instruction input by the user, the terminal may create hotspot configuration files corresponding to multiple hotspot frequency bands based on the historical hotspot activation records. The historical hotspot activation record saves the configuration information of the user's activation of multiple hotspot frequency bands at historical time points. For example, the terminal may use the configuration information determined by the user to open multiple hotspot frequency bands last time as a reference to create the hotspot activation this time. Hotspot profiles corresponding to each hotspot frequency band respectively.

In a specific implementation, the terminal may also use the connection expiration time to create profiles for multiple hotspot frequency bands in order to limit the amount of time that electronic devices accessing the hotspot can connect to the wireless network; the terminal may also use fixed electronic The identification of the device to create a configuration file of multiple hotspot frequency bands, so as to limit other electronic devices inconsistent with the identification can connect to the wireless network; the terminal can also use the IP address of the fixed electronic device to create a configuration file of multiple hotspot frequency bands, in order to restrict other electronic devices that do not agree with the IP address from being able to connect to the wireless network, and so on.

In a specific implementation manner, the hotspot configuration files corresponding to the multiple hotspot frequency bands created by the terminal may be created based on reference configuration information sent by an electronic device that establishes a communication connection with the terminal, and the reference configuration information may be used as the terminal Create a reference to the hotspot configuration files corresponding to the multiple hotspot frequency bands, and the reference configuration information includes configuration items such as the hotspot name, the hotspot encryption method, and the password corresponding to the multiple hotspot frequency bands.

Step 103: Configure the frequency band ports of each hotspot frequency band based on the hotspot configuration information corresponding to the multiple hotspot frequency bands, and enable the frequency band ports of each hotspot frequency band.

The frequency band port corresponds to the hotspot frequency band, that is, a frequency band port corresponds to a hotspot frequency band, and the frequency band port is used to open the hotspot network after completing the configuration of the frequency band port, so that the electronic devices within the coverage of the hotspot signal can be connected to the terminal. Hotspot network, realize the network sharing of the terminal hotspot frequency band corresponding to the hotspot network.

Specifically, the terminal may configure the frequency band port of each hotspot frequency band based on the hotspot configuration information corresponding to the multiple hotspot frequency bands respectively. For the convenience of description, the following is an example of configuring the frequency band port of the hotspot frequency band with the hotspot configuration information corresponding to the 5.0GHZ hotspot frequency band, wherein:

After the terminal obtains the 5.0GHZ hotspot configuration information, the hotspot configuration information usually includes configuration information of multiple configuration items, and the specific terminal configures the configuration items of the hotspot frequency band based on the hotspot configuration information. Set the hotspot name of the frequency band port to the hotspot name information in the hotspot configuration information; set the security item of the frequency band port to the corresponding encryption method (such as WPA encryption method, WPA2 encryption method, etc.) in the hotspot configuration information; set the network device node of the frequency band port It is the corresponding device node in the hotspot configuration information; the working channel configuration item of the frequency band port is based on the corresponding support channel in the hotspot configuration information to perform channel camping; the working wireless item of the frequency band port is set to the frequency band antenna in the hotspot configuration information (such as Antennas supporting 5.0GHZ frequency band); set the maximum hotspot connection item of the frequency band port to the maximum number of hotspot connections in the hotspot configuration information; set the wireless protocol type configuration item of the frequency band port to the target hotspot protocol in the hotspot configuration information; set the frequency band Set the hotspot service item of the port to the hotspot service (such as IPv6, IPv4, etc.) in the hotspot configuration information; set the network address item of the frequency band port to the network address segment in the hotspot configuration information; set the IP setting item of the frequency band port to the hotspot IP items in configuration information (such as DHCP items, static items, etc.), etc.

Wherein, when the terminal configures each configuration item of the frequency band port of the hotspot frequency band based on the hotspot configuration information, the configuration of each configuration item may be that the terminal creates a configuration process for each configuration type, and calls the terminal resource pool to allocate computing resources for each configuration process. Each configuration process may be performed synchronously or asynchronously, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the present application.

Specifically, after configuring the frequency band ports of each hotspot frequency band based on the hotspot configuration information corresponding to the multiple hotspot frequency bands, the terminal opens the frequency band port of each hotspot frequency band.

In a specific implementation, the terminal can load the frequency band ports of the hotspot frequency bands through the startTethering method of ConnectivityManager, and then load the firmware under the frequency band ports through NetworkManagementService in AP mode; The abstract function abstracts the hardware (such as the network card chip). Then, by calling the setWifiApState() function, a broadcast message is sent to the upper layer (application layer) of the terminal to inform the current hotspot opening process information of each hotspot frequency band. Based on the process information, the application layer of the terminal can monitor the kernel hot plug event through the netlink socket) The class registers an Observer to monitor the parameter changes of add, remove, and change in the Interface, and then starts the hotspot of each hotspot frequency band. Specifically, the mSoftApManager.start(config) function can be called to set the corresponding hotspot frequency band for the hotspot of the hotspot frequency band. to complete the real-time update of the channel and country code, and then enter the Netd process to start SoftAp (hot spot), which can be executed by executing the executeOrLogWithMessage method in startAccessPoint, and finally start the Hostapd process according to the startSoftap() function. The hotspot is turned on.

In the embodiment of the present application, the terminal can open the frequency band ports of each hotspot frequency band based on the configuration information corresponding to the multiple hotspot frequency bands, so as to open the hotspots corresponding to the multiple hotspot frequency bands supported by the terminal, so as to cover all the hotspot frequency bands supported by the electronic device. The hotspot frequency band avoids the problem that the electronic device cannot connect to the hotspot network due to the mismatch with the hotspot frequency band of the electronic device during the whole process of terminal WiFi hotspot network sharing, and improves the utilization rate of the terminal hotspot resource.

Please refer to FIG. 6 , which is a schematic flowchart of another embodiment of a method for enabling a multi-frequency WiFi hotspot proposed by the present application. In the embodiment of the present application, the method for enabling a multi-frequency WiFi hotspot is applied to a terminal, and the terminal can open a WiFi hotspot of two frequency bands or a WiFi hotspot of more than two frequency bands by executing the method for enabling a multi-frequency WiFi hotspot. The number of hotspots is usually determined according to the actual application scenario of the terminal, and is not specifically limited here.

For the convenience of description, the following description will be made by taking the example that the terminal opens two frequency band WiFi hotspots by executing the multi-frequency WiFi hotspot opening method.

specific:

Step 201: Receive a hotspot opening instruction, and acquire multiple hotspot frequency bands supported by the terminal.

For details, refer to step 101, which will not be repeated here.

Step 202: Receive hotspot configuration information input for each of the hotspot frequency bands, and respectively create a hotspot configuration file storing the hotspot configuration information.

Specifically, after the terminal receives the user's hotspot activation instruction for the terminal and obtains multiple hotspot frequency bands supported by the terminal, the user can set each of the hotspot frequency bands of the terminal respectively. 2. Hotspot frequency band 3... Hotspot frequency band n (n positive integer) are respectively set, the terminal can receive the hotspot configuration information input by the user for each of the hotspot frequency bands, and the hotspot configuration information can be the hotspot name of the hotspot frequency band, Hotspot password, hotspot encryption method, maximum number of hotspot connections and other information, and respectively create a hotspot configuration file storing the hotspot configuration information. For example, the terminal can receive the hotspot configuration information input by the user for each of the hotspot frequency bands: hotspot configuration information 1 corresponding to hotspot frequency band 1, hotspot configuration information 2 corresponding to hotspot frequency band 2, and hotspot configuration information 3 corresponding to hotspot frequency band 3.. . Hotspot configuration information n corresponding to hotspot frequency band n. Then, the terminal may create a hotspot configuration file 1 that stores the hotspot configuration information 1, . . . a hotspot configuration file n that stores the hotspot configuration information n.

The following describes in detail that the multiple hotspot frequency bands include a first hotspot frequency band and a second hotspot frequency band:

The terminal receives the first configuration information input by the user for the first hotspot frequency band, creates a first configuration file that stores the first configuration information, and receives the second configuration information inputted by the user for the second hotspot frequency band , and create a second configuration file storing the second configuration information.

The first hotspot frequency band may be one of the 2.4GHz frequency band and the 5GHz frequency band, the second hotspot frequency band may be one of the 2.4GHz frequency band and the 5GHz frequency band, and the first hotspot frequency band and the second hotspot frequency band The frequency bands are different. In this embodiment of the present application, the first hotspot frequency band and the second hotspot frequency band are not specifically limited. For example, the first hotspot frequency band may be a 2.4 GHz frequency band or a 5 GHz frequency band.

The first configuration information refers to the configuration information of the first hotspot frequency band, and the first configuration information may include the hotspot name or other identifier (network ID) of the first hotspot frequency band, the wireless network used for accessing the hotspot network. Information such as key or password, and encryption type. The first configuration file can be understood as a file used to store the first configuration information. In this embodiment of the present application, the first configuration file is created so that the underlying firmware of the terminal (such as a network card chip) reads the included first configuration file. The configuration information is used to configure a frequency band port (a first soft interface and a first network card interface) corresponding to the first hotspot frequency band.

The second configuration information refers to the configuration information of the second hotspot frequency band, and the second configuration information may include the hotspot name or other identifier (network ID) of the second hotspot frequency band, the wireless network used for accessing the hotspot network. Information such as key or password, and encryption type. In this embodiment of the present application, by creating a second configuration file, the underlying firmware of the terminal (such as a network card chip) reads the included second configuration information to configure the frequency band port (second soft interface) corresponding to the second hotspot frequency band and the second NIC interface).

Specifically, after the terminal receives a hotspot activation instruction for the terminal, and after acquiring multiple hotspot frequency bands supported by the terminal, the user can set the first hotspot frequency band and the second hotspot frequency band of the terminal respectively, and the terminal can receive the user's request for the first hotspot frequency band and the second hotspot frequency band respectively. The first configuration information entered in a hotspot frequency band, the first configuration information may be the hotspot name, hotspot password, hotspot encryption method, maximum number of hotspot connections and other information of the first hotspot frequency band, and the first configuration information is created and stored the first configuration file. The terminal as above may receive the second configuration information input by the user for the second hotspot frequency band, and create a second configuration file storing the second configuration information. By creating a first configuration file and a second configuration file, the underlying firmware of the terminal (such as a network card chip) reads the contained first configuration information to configure the frequency band ports (the second soft interface and the first hotspot frequency band) corresponding to the first hotspot frequency band. two network card interfaces) and read the included second configuration information to configure the frequency band ports (the second soft interface and the second network card interface) corresponding to the second hotspot frequency band.

In a specific implementation scenario, the terminal may be a smart device such as a computer, a mobile phone, or a tablet. For the convenience of description, taking the terminal as an example of a smart phone, the user can open the personal hotspot setting interface on the smart phone interface. The configuration information of a hotspot frequency band and a second hotspot frequency band is set, as shown in FIG. 7 , which is a schematic diagram of a personal hotspot setting interface of a smartphone. The personal hotspot setting interface shown in FIG. 7 includes at least one hotspot Frequency band configuration options, such as "First Hotspot Frequency Band" configuration option, "Second Hotspot Frequency Band" configuration option and "Dual-frequency Hotspot Frequency Band" configuration option, if the user needs to set the configuration information of each hotspot frequency band, the user can use finger By touch, select a certain hotspot frequency band configuration option to set the configuration information of the corresponding hotspot frequency band. For example, the user can select the "first hotspot frequency band" configuration option in Fig. A hotspot frequency band interface configures the configuration information of the first hotspot frequency band, as shown in Figure 8, which is a schematic diagram of a hotspot frequency band interface, the user can set the configuration of the first hotspot frequency band on the interface as shown in Figure 8 information, such as setting the name of the first hotspot frequency band to "hotspot 1", setting the security of the first hotspot frequency band to "WPA2 PSK" encryption method, setting the maximum number of connections to "20" and so on. After the setting is completed, the user can click Save on the interface as shown in Figure 8, and the terminal-smartphone can save the first configuration information corresponding to the first hotspot frequency band, and create a first configuration information that stores the first configuration information. configuration file. As described above, the terminal may receive the second configuration information input by the user for the second hotspot frequency band, and create a second configuration file storing the second configuration information, which will not be repeated here.

Among them, when the user needs to change the configuration information of a certain hotspot frequency band during use, he can select the corresponding hotspot frequency band to make changes in the interface shown in Figure 7. After the user clicks save after the change, the terminal can call the The writeWiFiConfiguration() function updates the information changed by the user to the configuration file corresponding to the hotspot frequency band, for example, to the first configuration file of the first hotspot frequency band.

In a feasible implementation manner, the terminal can provide the user with the function of "one-key configuration of multi-frequency hotspots". The user can click the option of "one-key configuration of multi-frequency hotspots" in the interface as shown in FIG. The first hotspot frequency band, the second hotspot frequency band...the nth hotspot frequency band is configured. It is understandable that the multiple configuration items of each hotspot frequency band configured by "multi-frequency hotspot one-key configuration" are the same. The multiple configuration items of the two hotspot frequency bands are the same, such as the same hotspot name, the same hotspot password, the same encryption method, the same maximum number of connections, etc., so that the user can quickly configure each hotspot frequency band of the terminal.

Step 203: Read hotspot configuration information in each of the hotspot configuration files, where the hotspot configuration information includes soft interface information and network card interface information.

Specifically, the terminal can read the hotspot configuration information in each of the hotspot configuration files, and the hotspot configuration information includes soft interface information and network card interface information, such as reading the first configuration information in the first configuration file and all the second configuration information in the second configuration file, the first configuration information includes first soft interface information and first network card interface information, and the second configuration information includes second soft interface information and second network card interface information .

Wherein, there are usually two frequency band ports of each hotspot frequency band of the terminal, and one hotspot frequency band corresponds to a soft interface (softap interface) and a network card interface (PHY interface). in:

The soft interface (softap interface) is a software interface, through which it is convenient for the application layer of the terminal to call the hotspot service to perform corresponding operations, such as calling Netd to guard the hotspot service management network device interface, flow control and other operations, dnsmasq hotspot service: use To configure dns, forward, dhcp and other functions, iptables hotspot services: used to implement routing table management, NAT and other functions, and so on.

The network card interface is a hardware interface, which is a hardware interface on the network card chip. Usually, the network card interface corresponds to the antenna of the terminal, and is used to control the antenna of the terminal to work in a certain frequency band (such as the 2.4GHZ frequency band) and a certain channel. Wait for signal transmission and reception. It can be understood that the first hotspot frequency band corresponds to a first soft interface and a first network card interface, and the second hotspot frequency band corresponds to a second soft interface and a second network card interface.

In practical applications, usually the soft interface of the hotspot frequency band needs to be created and configured according to the soft interface information in the configuration information. Corresponding configuration can realize the interaction of data and instructions with the interface circuit of the specific network card and the peripheral antenna through the interface register, so as to realize the transmission and reception of the antenna signal.

In a specific implementation scenario, after the terminal creates the first configuration file and the second configuration file for the first hotspot frequency band and the second hotspot frequency band, they are usually stored in the storage area of the bottom layer (hardware layer) of the terminal. When the step of "configuring the frequency band ports of each hotspot frequency band based on the hotspot configuration information corresponding to the multiple hotspot frequency bands" is performed, the first configuration information in the first configuration file and the first configuration information in the second configuration file can be read. The second configuration information, so that the first soft interface information and the first network card interface information in the first configuration information, and the second soft interface information and the second network card interface information in the second configuration information can be obtained. In a specific implementation, the readWiFiConfiguration() function is used to read data from the configuration file, and use the StoreData interface to parse the data. The StoreData interface is used to serialize and deserialize the data to write to the configuration file. Enter or read the hotspot configuration information to obtain the parsed hotspot configuration information.

Step 204 : Create a soft interface corresponding to each of the hotspot frequency bands, configure interface parameters of the soft interface according to the soft interface information, allocate a network card interface corresponding to the soft interface according to the network card interface information, and use the network interface to control the antenna of the terminal to send and receive signals.

Specifically, the terminal may create a soft interface corresponding to each of the hotspot frequency bands, configure interface parameters of the corresponding soft interface according to the information of each soft interface, and then allocate the network card interface corresponding to the soft interface according to the network interface information.

The following will describe in detail that the multiple hotspot frequency bands include a first hotspot frequency band and a second hotspot frequency band:

Specifically, the terminal may create a first soft interface corresponding to the first hotspot frequency band, configure interface parameters of the first soft interface according to the first soft interface information, and allocate the first soft interface according to the first network card interface information. A first network card interface corresponding to a soft interface, where the first network card interface is used to control the antenna of the terminal to send and receive signals.

There are usually two frequency band ports in the hotspot frequency band of the terminal, the frequency band port corresponding to the first hotspot frequency band is the first soft interface and the first network card interface, and the frequency band port corresponding to the second hotspot frequency band is the second soft interface and the second network card interface.

The first soft interface (such as the softap0 interface) and the second soft interface (such as the softap1 interface) are software interfaces, and the application layer of the terminal through the first soft interface (such as the softap0 interface) and the second soft interface (such as the softap1 interface) You can call the hotspot service to perform corresponding operations, such as calling the Netd guard hotspot service of the first soft interface (such as the softap0 interface) to manage the network device interface, flow control and other operations of the first hotspot frequency band, calling the first soft interface (such as the softap0 interface) ) dnsmasq hotspot service: used to configure dns, forward, dhcp and other functions of the first hotspot frequency band, and call the iptables hotspot service of the first soft interface (such as the softap0 interface): used to realize the routing table management of the first hotspot frequency band, realize Features like NAT, etc.

The first network card interface (such as the PHYA interface) and the second network card interface (such as the PHYB interface) are hardware interfaces, and the two hardware interfaces on the network card chip are used as transceivers for physical layer antenna signals. The antenna of the terminal corresponds, for example, the first network card interface (eg, PHYA interface) is used to control the antenna of the terminal to operate in a certain frequency band (eg, 2.4GHZ frequency band), a certain channel, etc. to send and receive signals. It can be understood that the first hotspot frequency band corresponds to a first soft interface and a first network card interface, and the second hotspot frequency band corresponds to a second soft interface and a second network card interface.

In practical applications, usually the first soft interface and the second soft interface of the hotspot frequency band need to be created and configured according to the soft interface information in the configuration information. The network card interface can be understood as a physical interface. The interface information can be configured on the network card interface and correspondingly. It is possible to realize the interaction of data and instructions with the interface circuit of the specific network card and the peripheral antenna through the interface register, so as to realize the transmission and reception of the antenna signal.

The first soft interface information generally includes interface parameter information for configuring the first soft interface, such as hotspot name, wireless key, encryption type, and the like. The second soft interface information usually includes interface parameter information for configuring the second soft interface, such as hotspot name, wireless key, encryption type, and the like.

The first network card interface information generally includes interface parameter information for configuring the first network card interface, such as working frequency band, wireless protocol, connection speed, working mode (duplex, half-duplex, etc.). The second network card interface information usually includes interface parameter information for configuring the second network card interface, such as working frequency band, wireless protocol type, connection speed, working mode (duplex, half-duplex, etc.), interface address, working channel configuration information, etc. .

Specifically, the terminal may call the createAPIface(sofap0) function to create a first soft interface corresponding to the first hotspot frequency band, and configure interface parameters of the first soft interface according to the first soft interface information, such as the first hotspot frequency band. Interface parameters such as hotspot name, wireless key, encryption type, etc. In a feasible implementation manner, after creating the first soft interface, the terminal may use mConnector.execute("softap1", "set", wlanIface, wifiConfig.SSID, getSecurityType(wifiConfig), wifiConfig.preSharedKey) to instruct the first soft interface. The hotspot name, encryption method, and password of the interface are used to configure interface parameters. The terminal determines a matching first network card interface in at least one network card interface in the network card chip according to the first network card interface information (eg, working frequency band (2.4GHZ or 5GHZ), wireless protocol type, etc.). The matching can be understood as being able to work with the parameters in the interface information of the first network card, for example, working under the working frequency band in the interface information of the first network card. and assigning the first network card interface to the first soft interface. At the same time, the parameters of the first network card interface are configured based on the interface information of the first network card. For example, the working frequency band of the first network card interface is set to a certain working frequency band (2.4GHZ or 5GHZ), and the wireless protocol type of the first network card interface is set to the working frequency band. Corresponding wireless protocol type (such as the protocol type that can support 5GHZ), determine the working mode of the first network card interface as duplex mode, set the interface address of the first network card interface to the interface address in the first network card interface information, etc. Wait. Usually, the first network card interface can exchange data and instructions with a peripheral antenna through an interface register and a specific network card interface circuit, so as to control the antenna of the terminal to send and receive signals.

Similarly, the terminal may create a second soft interface corresponding to the second hotspot frequency band, configure interface parameters of the second soft interface according to the second soft interface information, and allocate the second soft interface according to the second network card interface information. The second network card interface corresponding to the second soft interface, the second network card interface is used to control the antenna of the terminal to send and receive signals.

In a specific implementation scenario, the terminal may call the createAPIface(sofap1) function to create a second soft interface corresponding to the second hotspot frequency band, and configure interface parameters of the second soft interface according to the second soft interface information, For example, interface parameters such as the hotspot name, wireless key, and encryption type of the second hotspot frequency band. In a feasible implementation manner, after creating the second soft interface, the terminal may use mConnector.execute("softap1", "set", wlanIface, wifiConfig.SSID, getSecurityType(wifiConfig), wifiConfig.preSharedKey) to instruct the second soft interface. The hotspot name, encryption method, and password of the interface are used to configure interface parameters. The terminal determines a matching second network card interface in at least one network card interface in the network card chip according to the second network card interface information (eg, working frequency band (2.4GHZ or 5GHZ), wireless protocol type, etc.). The matching can be understood as being able to work with the parameters in the interface information of the second network card, for example, working under the working frequency band in the interface information of the second network card. and assigning the second network card interface to the second soft interface. At the same time, configure the parameters of the second network card interface based on the interface information of the second network card. For example, the working frequency band of the second network card interface is set to a certain working frequency band (2.4GHZ or 5GHZ), and the wireless protocol type of the second network card interface is set to the working frequency band. Corresponding wireless protocol type (such as the protocol type that can support 5GHZ), determine the working mode of the second network card interface as duplex mode, set the interface address of the second network card interface to the interface address in the second network card interface information, etc. Wait. Usually, the second network card interface can exchange data and instructions with a peripheral antenna through an interface register and a specific network card interface circuit, so as to control the antenna of the terminal to send and receive signals.

Step 205: Determine each add-on item corresponding to the frequency band port of each hotspot frequency band, and load the each add-on item.

The add-in can be understood as a configuration running file, driver file, related hotspot process, driver or firmware, etc. corresponding to the frequency band port that needs to be loaded to open a certain hotspot frequency band port.

Specifically, the terminal is preset in the process of opening the hotspot frequency band of the WiFi hotspot and can set and determine the add-on to be loaded by the frequency band port of each hotspot frequency band. This setting can usually be set in advance by the operating system of the terminal. It can also be set by the user by loading the management interface of the hotspot frequency band corresponding to the corresponding WiFi hotspot. After receiving each hot frequency band loading instruction of the terminal, the add-on item corresponding to the hot-spot frequency band preloading instruction is determined in the configuration file storing the add-on item information of the corresponding hot-spot frequency band, and the determined add-on item is loaded. It can be understood that all the add-ons of the hotspot frequency band that need to be loaded to open the WiFi hotspot are fixed, and the add-ons are the drivers, processes or firmware that need to be loaded when an application or function is opened. The above drivers, processes or firmware are collectively referred to as Add-ons. Based on the above, the terminal determines each add-on item corresponding to the frequency band port of each hotspot frequency band, and loads the each add-on item.

In a feasible implementation manner, in the process of enabling a dual-band hotspot by executing the method for enabling a multi-band WiFi hotspot, the terminal can determine the first add-on item corresponding to the port of the first frequency band and the second frequency band The second add-in corresponding to the port is loaded, and the first add-in and the second add-in are loaded respectively.

The first add-in item can be understood as the configuration running file, driver file, related hotspot process, driver or firmware, etc. corresponding to the frequency band port that needs to be loaded to open the first frequency band port. In the previous configuration process of the first frequency band port, the first add-on item of the first frequency band port is determined accordingly, and the terminal only needs to load the first add-on item in sequence according to the preset opening process distribution to enable the said first add-on item. The first band port.

The second add-in can be understood as the configuration running file, driver file, related hotspot process, driver or firmware, etc. corresponding to the frequency band port that needs to be loaded to open the second frequency band port. In the previous configuration process of the second frequency band port, the second add-on item of the second frequency band port is determined accordingly, and the terminal only needs to load the second add-on item in sequence according to the preset opening process distribution to enable the said second add-on item. The first band port.

Optionally, for all the add-ons that need to be loaded when the frequency band port of the hotspot frequency band is opened, some add-ons can be loaded in advance, and some add-ons are loaded when the frequency band port of the hotspot frequency band is turned on, that is, this When some add-ons are loaded, it means that the opening of the frequency band port is completed. At this time, the WiFi hotspot of the corresponding hotspot frequency band is successfully opened.

Optionally, the terminal determines and loads the first add-in item, the second add-in item, ... the nth add-in item according to the actual situation, and determines and loads the frequency band ports of the hot frequency frequency bands, which may be performed synchronously. Yes, it can also be done asynchronously,

In a feasible implementation manner, the terminal can asynchronously enable the first frequency band port and the second frequency band port, that is, asynchronously execute "determine the first add-on item corresponding to the first frequency band port, and load the first add-on item" and The steps of "determining the second add-in item corresponding to the second frequency band port, and loading the second add-in item".

In a feasible implementation manner, the user can customize the opening time of the frequency band ports of each hotspot frequency band, such as opening the first frequency band port of the first hotspot frequency band and the opening of the second frequency band port of the second hotspot frequency band The time can be customized. It is understandable that when the user can set the opening time of the frequency band port of each hotspot frequency band on the corresponding hotspot configuration interface of the terminal, he can set the opening time separately, such as setting the frequency band of each hotspot frequency band. The opening time of the port can be the same time, or it can be different time points to open the frequency band ports of different hotspot frequency bands in turn. For example, when setting the configuration information for the first hotspot frequency band and the second hotspot frequency band, you can set the corresponding The first port opening time is time point T1, and the second port opening time corresponding to the second hotspot frequency band is set time point T2. Then, the terminal can open the first frequency band port according to the first open time information-time point T1, and open the second frequency band port according to the second open time information-time point T2, specifically determining the first frequency band port according to the time point T1 A first add-in item corresponding to a frequency band port is loaded, and the first add-in item is loaded to enable the first frequency band port. and determining a second add-in item corresponding to the second frequency band port according to the time point T2, and loading the second add-in item to enable the second frequency band port.

Step 206: Obtain the remaining power of the terminal, and when the remaining power is less than a power threshold, obtain the number of device connections corresponding to the hotspot frequency bands.

The remaining power (State OfCharge, SOC) refers to the power supply module of the terminal - the ratio of the available power in the battery to the nominal capacity, and is an important monitoring data for the terminal to realize battery management. The terminal can usually control it according to the SOC value. Battery working status. The remaining power of the battery also reflects the state of charge of the battery, and the representation form of the remaining power may be in the form of a percentage of the power, may be in the form of a remaining electric capacity, or the like.

The threshold value refers to a threshold value of a certain field, state or system, also called a critical value. In this embodiment, the power threshold refers to the threshold or critical value of the remaining power of the terminal. It can be understood that when the remaining power is less than the power threshold, the power of the terminal may not be enough to support the first frequency band hotspot and the second frequency band The hotspot is on for a long time.

Specifically, the terminal may acquire the current remaining power by creating a process for monitoring the remaining power.

In a specific implementation scenario, taking the operating system of the terminal as an Android system as an example, the message of the terminal power change in the Android system is realized by receiving an Intent broadcast, and the terminal can create a process to receive the remaining power To achieve the acquisition of the remaining power, the getIntExtra("level") function can be specifically used to obtain the remaining power of the terminal.

In a specific implementation scenario, the terminal may obtain the current remaining power by issuing a corresponding obtaining instruction for the state information of the power supply module, and performing analysis processing based on the obtained state information of the power supply module to obtain the remaining power of the terminal. For example, by issuing the "adb shell dumpsys battery" command, various status information of the power supply module (such as charging status, real-time temperature, real-time voltage, real-time current, remaining power, etc.) (Percentage)", you can get the remaining power of the terminal, which is in the form of a percentage of power.

Specifically, when the remaining power obtained by the terminal is less than the power threshold, the terminal can obtain the number of device connections corresponding to each hotspot frequency band, such as the number of first device connections in the first hotspot frequency band and the second device connection in the second hotspot frequency band. number. A specific terminal can obtain the device connection information corresponding to each hotspot frequency band by calling the getNumConnectedDevices function, such as obtaining the first device connection number of the first hotspot frequency band and the second device connection number of the second hotspot frequency band, and then based on getNumConnectedDevices The return value of the function can respectively determine the number of device connections in the device connection information, such as the number of first device connections and the number of second device connections.

Step 207: Determine the minimum number of device connections in the number of device connections, and perform current limiting processing on the target hotspot frequency band indicated by the minimum number of device connections.

The current limiting process may be performed on the target hotspot frequency band to terminate the transmission of the network traffic or reduce the uplink and downlink speed of network transmission, so as to achieve the purpose of current limitation, so as to ensure that the network communication of the hotspot frequency band indicated by the larger number of device connections is as follows. Normal state or guaranteed duration of the hotspot band indicated by the larger number of device connections.

Specifically, after obtaining the number of device connections corresponding to each hotspot frequency band, the terminal compares the number of device connections corresponding to the hotspot frequency band, determines the minimum number of device connections, and then executes the target hotspot frequency band indicated by the smaller number of device connections. Current limit processing. For example, after obtaining the number of first device connections in the first hotspot frequency band -10 and the number of second device connections in the second hotspot frequency band -130, compare the number of first device connections and the number of second device connections to determine the minimum The number of device connections is -10, and then the current limiting process is performed on the target hotspot frequency band indicated by the smaller device connection number -10 - the first hotspot frequency band.

In a specific implementation scenario, taking the target hotspot frequency band as the first hotspot frequency band as an example, the terminal acquires and monitors the data traffic of all electronic devices connected to the first hotspot frequency band, and determines whether each electronic device is under the first hotspot frequency band Generate a data stream or whether within a predetermined period of time (eg, 3 minutes), when no data stream is generated, disconnect the hotspot connection with the electronic device.

In a specific implementation scenario, taking the target hotspot frequency band as the first hotspot frequency band as an example, the terminal acquires and monitors the data traffic of all electronic devices connected to the first hotspot frequency band, and obtains the data traffic of each electronic device in the first hotspot frequency band. The total data traffic or the data traffic generated within a predetermined period of time (such as 3 minutes), when the data traffic exceeds the set traffic threshold, reduce the uplink and downlink transmission speed of the hotspot connection of the electronic device, so that the electronic device can be connected. Current limiting processing, that is, reducing the uplink and downlink transmission speed of the electronic device.

In a specific implementation scenario, taking the target hotspot frequency band as the first hotspot frequency band as an example, the terminal acquires and monitors the data traffic of all electronic devices connected to the first hotspot frequency band. When the data traffic of all electronic devices is 0, Turn off the hotspot band.

In a specific implementation scenario, the terminal may also perform current limiting processing on the non-target hotspot frequency band, taking the target hotspot frequency band as the first hotspot frequency band and the non-target hotspot frequency band as the first hotspot frequency band as an example, wherein the non-target hotspot frequency band is the first hotspot frequency band. The frequency band is the hotspot frequency band indicated by the larger number of device connections in the first device connection number and the second device connection number. The total data traffic under the frequency band or the data traffic generated within a predetermined period of time (such as 3 minutes), when the data traffic exceeds the set traffic threshold, the electronic devices that exceed the traffic threshold are subjected to current limiting processing, that is, to reduce the data traffic. The uplink and downlink transmission speed of the electronic device.

In the embodiment of the present application, the terminal can open the frequency band ports of each hotspot frequency band based on the configuration information corresponding to the multiple hotspot frequency bands, so as to open the hotspots corresponding to the multiple hotspot frequency bands supported by the terminal, so as to cover all the hotspot frequency bands supported by the electronic device. The hotspot frequency band avoids the problem that the electronic device cannot connect to the hotspot network due to the mismatch with the hotspot frequency band of the electronic device during the whole process of terminal hotspot network sharing, and improves the utilization rate of the terminal hotspot resources; at the same time, when the remaining power of the terminal is low, the The target hotspot frequency band with a small number of device connections among multiple hotspot frequency bands is subjected to current limiting processing, which can reduce the power consumption of the terminal and ensure the maximum utilization of hotspot resources.

Please refer to FIG. 9 , which is a schematic diagram of a scenario of a system for enabling a multi-frequency WiFi hotspot according to an embodiment of the present application.

The terminal device 100 may be a multi-frequency WiFi hotspot access device with wireless network access services, which can facilitate users to access the wireless network through the multi-frequency WiFi hotspot signal channel provided by the terminal device 100 without a fixed network. In the wireless local area network, access to the Internet is further realized.

When no communication access point is scanned, the result returned by the callback function is Null (empty). The electronic device 1 can display the device identifiers corresponding to all or part of the scanned communication access points to the user in the form of a list on the current display interface. For example, the device identifiers can be the 5GHZ hotspot name and/or the 2.4GHZ hotspot of the terminal 100. At this time, the user of the electronic device 1 can select the 5GHZ hotspot name and/or the 2.4GHZ hotspot name of the terminal 100, input the corresponding hotspot password, and the electronic device 1 sends a communication connection request carrying the hotspot password to the terminal 100. After receiving the communication connection request, the terminal 100 performs authentication and verification on the hotspot password carried in the communication connection request. After the authentication and verification are passed, the communication connection (hotspot connection) between the electronic device 1 and the terminal 100 can be established. At this point, the electronic device 1 can successfully connect to the 5GHZ hotspot name or the 2.4GHZ hotspot of the terminal 100 .
