The embodiment of the application discloses a network connection method and device, terminal equipment, a server and a storage medium, which can realize network bandwidth sharing among the terminal equipment, thereby reducing the bandwidth waste on the whole and improving the reliability of network connection of the terminal equipment.

The following detailed description is made with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic view of an application scenario of a network connection method disclosed in an embodiment of the present application, and includes a first terminal device 10, a server 20, and a target terminal device 30. The first terminal device 10 may be in communication connection with the server 20, so that data interactive transmission may be performed between the two. Illustratively, when the first terminal device 10 needs to access the network, a network sharing request may be sent to the server 20 to request the server 20 to determine a target terminal device 30 capable of providing the network access service for the first terminal device 10. The target terminal device 30 may establish a communication connection with the server 20 in advance, or may establish a communication connection with the server 20 when the server 20 searches or queries the corresponding target terminal device 30 in response to the network sharing request. On this basis, the determined target terminal device 30 may further establish a communication connection with the first terminal device 10, and further may access the first terminal device 10 to a target network provided by the target terminal device 30. It will be appreciated that the target network may comprise an external network, i.e. a network to which the target terminal device 30 is connected via Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) or data traffic. Specifically, the first terminal device 10 accesses the target network, which may mean that the first terminal device 10 performs communication data transmission with a network device such as a terminal and a server in an external network through the target terminal device 30, that is, the target terminal device 30 may forward the first communication data sent by the first terminal device 10 to the network device, or forward the second communication data sent by the network device to the first terminal device 10.

For example, the first terminal device 10 may include various devices or systems with networking functions, such as a mobile phone, a smart wearable device, an in-vehicle terminal, a tablet Computer, a PC (Personal Computer), a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), and the like, which are not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present application. It should be noted that the target terminal device 30 may be a device or a system of the same type as the first terminal device 10, such as a mobile phone and a computer; or may be a different type of device or system than the first terminal device 10.

For example, the server 20 may include a server module disposed in the cloud, so as to determine, by the server module, a target terminal device 30 capable of providing a network access service for the first terminal device 10 in response to the network sharing request sent by the first terminal device 10. In some embodiments, the functions implemented by the server 20 may also be implemented by a device located at a base station (including a cellular network base station, a Wi-Fi base station, etc.), a router, etc. that is directly connected to the first terminal device 10.

In the embodiment of the present application, when the first terminal device 10 faces a situation of poor network signal, insufficient data traffic, and the like, a network sharing request may be sent to the server 20, where the network sharing request may include the location information corresponding to the first terminal device 10. After receiving the network sharing request, the server 20 may respond to the network sharing request and determine the target terminal device 30 capable of providing network access for the first terminal device 10 according to the location information. On this basis, the server 20 may transmit the device information of the target terminal device 30 to the first terminal device 10, so that the first terminal device 10 may access the target network provided by the target terminal device 30 according to the device information. Illustratively, the target terminal device 30 may be connected to the base station 40, and may further serve as a relay node for the first terminal device 10 to communicate with the base station 40, so that the first terminal device 10 may implement network connection through a connection path formed by the target terminal device 30 and the base station 40, and may then perform communication data transmission with a network device in an external network.

To better describe the application scenario of the embodiment of the present application, fig. 2 discloses a timing chart of a network connection method of the embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 2, the method may include:

202. the first terminal device sends a network sharing request to the server, wherein the network sharing request comprises the position information corresponding to the first terminal device.

204. And the server responds to the network sharing request and determines target terminal equipment for providing network access for the first terminal equipment according to the position information.

After acquiring the network sharing request sent by the first terminal device, the server may analyze the network sharing request, and extract the location information corresponding to the first terminal device from the network sharing request. Illustratively, the location information may include geographic location information represented by geographic coordinates, a scene (such as an indoor scene, an outdoor scene, and the like) in which the first terminal device is located, a location range in which the first terminal device is located may be identified by a nearby base station, a router, and the like.

206. And the server sends the equipment information of the target terminal equipment to the first terminal equipment.

208. And the first terminal equipment accesses a target network provided by the target terminal equipment according to the equipment information.

After receiving the device information sent by the server, the first terminal device may search for a target terminal device located nearby according to the device information, and establish a communication connection with the target terminal device according to the device information, so as to access a target network provided by the target terminal device. Illustratively, the target network may comprise a network to which the target terminal device is connected via Wi-Fi or data traffic.

By implementing the method, the first terminal device can report the position information to the server, so that the server can determine the target terminal device which can perform network sharing nearby according to the position information, and then the first terminal device can be accessed to the target network provided by the target terminal device, thereby realizing the network connection of the first terminal device. Based on the network connection mode, the target terminal device can be used as a relay node for connecting the first terminal device with an external network, and when the first terminal device faces the conditions of poor network signals, insufficient data flow and the like, stable and high-quality network connection can be realized through the relay node, so that network bandwidth sharing among a plurality of terminal devices is realized, and the idle or surplus bandwidth resources of the target terminal device are favorably used so as to reduce the whole bandwidth waste; and the first terminal equipment can be ensured to maintain continuous network connection, and accidental network disconnection caused by poor network signals, insufficient data flow and the like is avoided, so that the reliability of network connection of the terminal equipment is improved.

Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a network connection method according to an embodiment of the present application, where the method may be applied to the first terminal device, and the first terminal device may be communicatively connected to a server. As shown in fig. 3, the network connection method may include the steps of:

302. and sending a network sharing request to the server, wherein the network sharing request comprises the position information corresponding to the first terminal equipment and is used for requesting the server to determine target terminal equipment for providing network access for the first terminal equipment according to the position information.

For example, the location information corresponding to the first terminal device may include a geographic location of the first terminal device, which is represented by geographic coordinates, a scene (such as an indoor scene, an outdoor scene, and the like) in which the first terminal device is located, and a location range in which the first terminal device is located, which is indicated by a nearby base station, a router, and the like.

Based on the location information, the network sharing request sent by the first terminal device may be used to request a target terminal device matched with the location information to provide a network access service for the first terminal device. For example, the target terminal device may be a terminal device that matches the geographic location of the first terminal device (e.g., is within a certain distance range centered on the geographic location), may be a terminal device that is in the same scene as the first terminal device, and may be a terminal device that is connected to the same base station or router (or a base station or a router in the same range) as the first terminal device. Therefore, when the first terminal equipment needs to be connected with an external network, network connection can be achieved through the target terminal equipment corresponding to the position information of the first terminal equipment, the first terminal equipment is prevented from being incapable of networking when the first terminal equipment faces the conditions of poor network signals, insufficient data flow and the like, and the reliability of network connection of the terminal equipment is improved.

In this embodiment of the application, the first terminal device may establish a communication connection with the server, so that when the first terminal device needs to connect to an external network, a network sharing request including the location information may be actively sent to the server, so as to request the server to determine, according to the location information, a target terminal device capable of providing network access for the first terminal device. Optionally, the first terminal device may limit a network type requesting access through a network sharing request sent by the first terminal device, such as a 5G (5th Generation Mobile Communication Technology, fifth Generation Mobile Communication Technology) network, a 4G network, and the like, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present application.

For example, after receiving the network sharing request, the server may respond to the network sharing request, and determine the target terminal device corresponding to the location information by searching, querying, matching, and the like. On this basis, the server may obtain the device information of the target terminal device, and may further send the device information to the first terminal device in the subsequent steps, so that the first terminal device may access the target network provided by the target terminal device according to the device information. The target network provided by the target terminal device may include an external network, that is, a network to which the target terminal device is connected through Wi-Fi or data traffic, etc.

It can be understood that, in the above process, the server may obtain the device information of the target terminal device after determining the target terminal device. In some embodiments, the server may also obtain the device information of the target terminal device in the process of determining the target terminal device. For example, the server may obtain the device information of the plurality of second terminal devices, and then determine the target terminal device from the plurality of second terminal devices according to the device information, that is, obtain the device information of the target terminal device at the same time.

304. And acquiring the device information of the target terminal device fed back by the server.

In the embodiment of the application, after the first terminal device obtains the device information of the target terminal device fed back by the server, the first terminal device may establish a communication connection with the target terminal device according to the device information in the subsequent steps, and then access to the target network provided by the target terminal device.

Illustratively, the device information of the target terminal device may include network configuration information, network connection status, and the like of the target terminal device. Specifically, the network configuration information of the target terminal device may include communication interface information (such as an IP address, a communication port, and the like) required to establish a communication connection with the target terminal device, security authentication information (such as a device name, an account name, a password, and the like), a supported service type (such as whether Wi-Fi hotspot service is supported, 5G ProSe service is supported), and the like. The network connection status of the target terminal device may include various networking statuses of the target terminal device, such as network on-off status, network bandwidth, network quality (which may be evaluated by congestion rate, packet loss rate, etc.) and the like in different areas and at different times.

For example, when the device information of the target terminal device includes communication interface information, the first terminal device may obtain the communication interface information, and establish a communication connection with the target terminal device according to the communication interface information in a subsequent step. It should be noted that the communication interface information alone is usually not sufficient to establish a communication connection between the first terminal device and the target terminal device. In some embodiments, the first terminal device further needs to determine whether the target terminal device supports the corresponding network access service according to the support service type of the target terminal device, and start the corresponding support service of the first terminal device. For example, if the target terminal device supports Wi-Fi hotspot service, the first terminal device needs to support and start Wi-Fi to search and access a wireless hotspot provided by the target terminal device; for another example, if the target terminal device supports a 5G ProSe service (5G proximity service), the first terminal device also needs to support and turn on the 5G ProSe service to search for a target terminal device located nearby. In other embodiments, the first terminal device further needs to perform corresponding security authentication according to the security authentication information of the target terminal device. For example, after obtaining the security authentication information (such as an account name, a password, and the like) of the target terminal device, when communication connection needs to be established with the target terminal device, the first terminal device may pass identity verification provided by the target terminal device according to the security authentication information, and may further access a target network provided by the target terminal device in a subsequent step.

It should be noted that, based on the network configuration information of a specific terminal device, a sensing network corresponding to the terminal device may be established, so as to confirm other terminal devices that are trusted and accessible around the terminal device. Illustratively, by establishing the sensing network corresponding to the first terminal device, the first terminal device can conveniently switch communication connections with different target terminal devices in time, so that the first terminal device can be ensured to maintain continuous network connections, accidental network disconnection is avoided, and the reliability of network connection of the terminal device is greatly improved.

For another example, when the device information of the target terminal device includes a network connection state, the first terminal device may obtain the network connection state, so as to determine whether to establish a communication connection with the target terminal device according to the network connection state in a subsequent step. It should be noted that, based on the network connection states of a large number of terminal devices in different areas and at different times, a corresponding QoS (Quality of Service) map may be established, so as to help the first terminal device to predict the area and time of the weak network that may face the problem of poor network signal, and the like, so that the first terminal device may establish a communication connection with the target terminal device in advance, and access the target network provided by the target terminal device in advance. By implementing the method, the probability of accidental network disconnection of the terminal equipment is further reduced, and the stability and reliability of network connection of the terminal equipment are improved.

306. And accessing the target network provided by the target terminal equipment according to the equipment information.

The target network provided by the target terminal device may include an external network, that is, a network to which the target terminal device is connected through Wi-Fi or data traffic.

In this embodiment, after obtaining the device information of the target terminal device fed back by the server, the first terminal device may search for the target terminal device located nearby according to the device information, and establish a communication connection with the target terminal device according to the device information. On this basis, the first terminal device may access the target network provided by the target terminal device, and perform data transmission between the first terminal device and the target network with the target terminal device as a relay node, thereby implementing network connection of the first terminal device.

It can be seen that, with the network connection method described in the foregoing embodiment, the first terminal device may use the target terminal device as a relay node for connecting the target terminal device with an external network, and when the first terminal device faces conditions of poor network signals, insufficient data traffic, and the like, stable and high-quality network connection may still be achieved through the relay node, so that network bandwidth sharing among multiple terminal devices is achieved, which is not only beneficial to using spare or surplus bandwidth resources of the target terminal device, so as to reduce the overall bandwidth waste; and the first terminal equipment can be ensured to maintain continuous network connection, and accidental network disconnection caused by poor network signals, insufficient data flow and the like is avoided, so that the reliability of network connection of the terminal equipment is improved.

Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a flowchart illustrating another network connection method disclosed in the embodiment of the present application, where the method may be applied to the first terminal device, and the first terminal device may be communicatively connected to a server. As shown in fig. 4, the network connection method may include the steps of:

402. and acquiring the position information corresponding to the first terminal equipment in a positioning mode corresponding to the scene where the first terminal equipment is located.

In this embodiment, before sending the network sharing request including the location information to the server, the first terminal device may first obtain the location information corresponding to itself. The location information may include geographic location information represented by geographic coordinates, a scene (such as an indoor scene, an outdoor scene, and the like) where the first terminal device is located, and a location range where the first terminal device is located may be identified by a nearby base station, a router, and the like.

For example, when the first terminal device is in different scenes, the position information corresponding to the first terminal device may be collected in different positioning manners. In an embodiment, if the first terminal device is located in an indoor scene (e.g., a mall, a school, an office building, a subway, etc.), the radio frequency fingerprint positioning information may be collected to serve as the corresponding location information of the first terminal device. In another embodiment, if the first terminal device is located in an outdoor scene (such as a pedestrian street, a square, etc.), the first terminal device may acquire GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) positioning information thereof as the corresponding position information of the first terminal device.

By implementing the method, the most appropriate positioning mode in the scene can be adopted to acquire the position information corresponding to the first terminal equipment aiming at the specific scene of the first terminal equipment, so that the problems of inaccurate GNSS positioning information in an indoor scene and insufficient radio frequency fingerprint precision in an outdoor scene are solved, the accuracy of acquiring the position information of the terminal equipment is effectively improved, and the method is beneficial to determining the appropriate target terminal equipment through the server in the subsequent steps to provide network access for the first terminal equipment.

408. And establishing communication connection with the target terminal equipment according to the network configuration information corresponding to the target terminal equipment.

The network configuration information corresponding to the target terminal device may include communication interface information (such as an IP address, a communication port, and the like) required to establish a communication connection with the target terminal device, security authentication information (such as a device name, an account name, a password, and the like), a type of service supported (such as whether Wi-Fi hotspot service is supported, 5G ProSe service is supported), and the like. Optionally, for example, the supported service type includes a Wi-Fi hotspot service, the network configuration information may be further subdivided into whether to support a Wi-Fi 6 technology, whether to support a Wi-Fi 5G band, and the like. According to the network configuration information, the first terminal device can search the target terminal device located nearby, establish communication connection with the target terminal device after passing identity authentication, and further access the target network provided by the target terminal device in the subsequent steps, so that data transmission between the first terminal device and an external network is performed through the target terminal device.

In some embodiments, the target terminal device may be a terminal device determined by the server from one or more second terminal devices within a location range corresponding to the location information in a scene where the first terminal device is located. For example, after the first terminal device sends the network sharing request including the location information of the first terminal device to the server, the server may extract a scene where the first terminal device is located according to the network sharing request, and determine a location range matching the scene, so as to determine a target terminal device from one or more second terminal devices in the location range corresponding to the location information of the first terminal device.

For example, if the first terminal device is located in an indoor subway car scene, the position range matched with the scene may be defined by a rectangular frame corresponding to a plane of the subway car, and the server may determine the target terminal device from the second terminal devices located in the same subway car as the first terminal device. If the first terminal device is located in an indoor subway hall scene, the position range of the scene matching can be defined by a spherical space (the second terminal device may not be located on the same plane as the first terminal device due to the existence of stairs, elevators and the like) with the first terminal device as the center and the designated distance as the radius, and the server can determine the target terminal device from the second terminal device located in the spherical space.

As an optional implementation manner, the server may further determine, according to the network configuration information corresponding to each second terminal device, a terminal device that meets the network configuration condition of the first terminal device from the one or more second terminal devices. The device information of the target terminal device may include network configuration information corresponding to the target terminal device. On this basis, after the server determines the target terminal device, the target terminal device may actively send the device information thereof to the server, so that the server forwards the device information to the first terminal device.

Illustratively, the network configuration condition of the first terminal device may include communication interface information (such as an IP address, a communication port, and the like) used by the first terminal device, security authentication information (such as a supported security protocol, an encryption manner, and the like), a supported service type (such as whether a Wi-Fi hotspot service is supported, a 5G ProSe service is supported), and the like. Specifically, for example, the first terminal device may send a network sharing request including the location information and the network configuration condition of the first terminal device to the server, so that the server extracts the location information and the network configuration condition corresponding to the first terminal device according to the network sharing request, and further may query, as the target terminal device, the terminal device that meets the network configuration condition from the one or more second terminal devices corresponding to the location information. By implementing the method, the bidirectional selection of the first terminal equipment and the target terminal equipment can be realized, the target terminal equipment with the highest matching degree with the first terminal equipment is obtained, and the reliability of the relay network connection by utilizing the target terminal equipment is favorably improved.

In the embodiment of the application, after the first terminal device establishes the communication connection with the target terminal device, data transmission can be directly performed between the first terminal device and the target terminal device. On this basis, the first terminal device may take the target terminal device as its relay node connected to the external network. Specifically, the first terminal device may perform communication data transmission with a network device such as a terminal and a server in an external network through the target terminal device, that is, the target terminal device may forward first communication data sent by the first terminal device to the network device, or forward second communication data sent by the network device to the first terminal device. By implementing the method, when the first terminal device faces the conditions of poor network signals, insufficient data flow and the like, stable and high-quality network connection can be realized through the target terminal device serving as the relay node, so that the reliability of network connection of the terminal device is improved.

It can be seen that, by implementing the network connection method described in the foregoing embodiment, network bandwidth sharing among multiple terminal devices can be achieved, which is not only beneficial to using free or surplus bandwidth resources of a target terminal device, so as to reduce overall bandwidth waste; the first terminal equipment can be ensured to maintain continuous network connection, and accidental network disconnection caused by poor network signals, insufficient data flow and the like is avoided, so that the reliability of network connection of the terminal equipment is improved; in addition, positioning is carried out according to the scene where the first terminal device is located, so that the accuracy of acquiring the position information of the terminal device is effectively improved, and the determination of a proper target terminal device is facilitated to provide network access for the first terminal device; in addition, the bidirectional selection of the first terminal device and the target terminal device is realized, so that the target terminal device with the highest matching degree with the first terminal device can be obtained, and the reliability of the relay network connection by using the target terminal device is further improved.

Wherein step 508 is similar to step 408. It should be noted that the first terminal device may establish communication connection with multiple target terminal devices at the same time, so that the multiple target terminal devices may all be added to the to-be-connected device list. The device to be connected list may be used to store a target terminal device that has acquired the access right but has not actually accessed to its target network (i.e., does not actually use its data traffic).

It will be appreciated that for each target terminal device 30, it may be connected to the same base station 40 or to different base stations 40.

In this embodiment, when the first terminal device needs to connect to the network, it may select one of the target terminal devices from the list of devices to be connected, and access to the target network provided by the target terminal device. For example, the selection may be a random selection, or may be selected according to a certain order (for example, according to a priority of the network configuration information, from a high order to a low order, and according to a relative distance, from a small order to a large order), and is not specifically limited in this embodiment. By implementing the method, the first terminal device establishes communication connection with a plurality of target terminal devices in advance, so that the first terminal device can be accessed to a target network provided by one target terminal device at any time, and the first terminal device can still ensure that the first terminal device can enjoy network service with good continuity even if the first terminal device is in motion.

On this basis, the server may determine, according to the network configuration information of each second terminal device in the device list to be selected, a service type supported by each second terminal device (e.g., whether to support Wi-Fi hotspot service, 5 gpp ase service, or the like, or further, whether to support Wi-Fi 6 technology, whether to support Wi-Fi 5G band, or the like), and may further determine, according to the service type supported by each second terminal device, a target terminal device that matches the network configuration condition of the first terminal device from the device list to be selected.
