In actual applications, the wireless network communication can be performed. The protocol defines that the management frame is 00, the control frame is 01, and the data frame is 10. The data frame can be obtained by parsing the type of the frame.

The terminal S302 determines whether the subtype of the data frame carries data. If yes, execute S303; if no, execute S304.

S303. If there is a data frame and the data frame carries data, it is determined that the hotspot of the terminal is used, and the hotspot is kept open. After the hotspot of the terminal is used, the hotspot sleep state is entered.

The general data frame includes a frame header, a data portion, and a frame tail. The frame header and the frame tail contain necessary control information, such as synchronization information, address information, error control information, etc., and the data portion includes data transmitted from the network layer. For example, an IP data packet or the like is judged according to a subtype of the data frame in the embodiment, and the data frame is a binary number, and the format of the data frame is defined by a standard, and the subtype has a standard definition. If there is a data frame, and the digit of the subtype of the data frame indicates that the data is carried, it can be determined that the hotspot of the terminal is used, and Wi-Fi traffic is generated.

S304. If there is no data frame or a data frame, but the data frame does not carry data, it is determined that the hotspot of the terminal is not used. In the same manner as S103 in the first embodiment, the step enters the hotspot sleep state.

If no data frame is detected, or a data frame is detected, but the digit of the subtype of the data frame indicates that no data is carried, it may be determined that the hotspot of the terminal is not used, then enter a hotspot sleep state, and close the Hotspot, uninstall the hotspot driver.
