step S1405, determining network priority information of the target area according to the network information of the terminal device located in the first area.

After the first area is determined through step S1402, the time length of the terminal device in the first area may be determined according to the location information of the terminal device, and if the time length of the terminal device in the first area is greater than or equal to the set time length threshold, the first area is used as a target area, and the usage priority of each network included in the first area is determined according to the network speed information and the network time length information of the terminal device in the first area, so as to determine the network priority information of the target area.

For example, in an embodiment, assuming that the set time length threshold is 30 seconds, the time length of the terminal device in the first area is 60 seconds, and is greater than the set time length threshold, the first area may be taken as a target area, and the usage priority of each network included in the target area is determined according to formula 1.

p＝w ₁ *v+w ₂ * t (equation 1)

Where p denotes the priority score, w ₁ For preset speed weight, w ₂ V represents the network speed and t represents the network use time length for the preset time weight.

After the priority scores of the networks are determined by formula 1, the usage priority of each network may be determined according to the priority scores of the networks, for example, assuming that there are four networks included in the target area, which are respectively a cellular data network, WIFI, ethernet and bluetooth, the obtained location information and network information of the terminal device are shown in fig. 16, and w is ₁ ＝0.7，w ₂ =0.3,v represents the maximum speed of the network. Therefore, it can be determined from equation 1 that the priority score of the cellular data network is p =0.7 + 4+0.3 + 40, i.e. the priority score of the cellular data network is 14.8; the priority score of WIFI is p =0.7 + 5+0.3 + 20, i.e. the priority score of WIFI is 9.5; the priority score of ethernet is p =0.7 +0.3 +0, i.e. the priority score of ethernet is 0; the priority score of bluetooth is p =0.7 +0.3 +0, i.e. the priority score of bluetooth is 0; therefore, the usage priority of the cellular data network can be determined to be 1, the usage priority of the WIFI can be determined to be 2, and the usage of the Ethernet can be optimizedThe priority is determined to be 3, and the use priority of the Bluetooth is determined to be 4; or, the usage priority of the cellular data network is determined to be 1, the usage priority of the WIFI is determined to be 2, the usage priority of the bluetooth is determined to be 3, and the usage priority of the ethernet is determined to be 4.

In this embodiment, the network speed may be a maximum speed value or a mean speed value, which is not limited in this application.

After the target area and the use priority of each network contained in the target area are determined through the method, the network priority information of the target area can be generated according to the use priority of each network contained in the target area, and the identification information of the target area and the network priority information of the target area are correspondingly stored.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 17, fig. 17 is a type of identification information of a target area and network priority information of the target area, which are correspondingly stored by a terminal device. The area center of the target area is the position marked by 100 degrees of east longitude and 100 degrees of north latitude, the radius of the area is 500 meters, the network priority information comprises the use priority of a cellular data network, the use priority of WIFI is 1, the use priority of Ethernet is 3, and the use priority of Bluetooth is 4.

The method comprises the steps that network priority information of a target area and the target area is generated through setting operation of a user aiming at the use priority of each network in the target area and the target area, or after the network priority information of the target area and the target area is generated through analyzing the position information and the network information of the terminal equipment in a set duration, the position information of the terminal equipment can be obtained according to a set time interval, whether the terminal equipment is located in the target area or not is judged according to the position information of the terminal equipment, and if the position information of the terminal equipment is determined to be located in the target area, the network priority information of the target area is obtained.

Step S302, according to the network priority information of the target area, a target network is selected from various different types of networks.

Step S303, a target network is used for communication.

After the network priority information of the target area is acquired in step S301, the terminal device may select a target network from multiple different types of networks for connection according to the network priority information of the target area, and perform communication using the target network.

Specifically, the terminal device may use a network with the highest priority as a target network according to the network priority information of the target area, and perform communication using the target network.

Illustratively, it is assumed that the target area includes three types of networks, the first type is a cellular data network, the second type is bluetooth, and the third type is WIFI, wherein the cellular data network has a usage priority of 1, the bluetooth has a usage priority of 2, and the WIFI has a usage priority of 3, i.e., the cellular data network is the highest usage priority network, so that the cellular data network can be used as the target network and the cellular data network can be used for communication.

In the embodiment of the application, when the target area only contains one type of network, the network of the type can be directly used as the target network, that is, when the position information of the terminal device is determined to be located in the target area, the network of the type is directly used as the target network, and communication is performed through the target network.

Through the mode, the terminal equipment can select the target network from various different types of networks for communication according to the network priority information of the target area, so that automatic switching of the networks is realized, and a user is helped to save time.

Based on the same inventive concept, the embodiment of the present application further provides a network control method, as shown in fig. 18, the method includes the following steps:

step 1801, obtaining position information of the terminal device;

step S1802, judging whether the terminal equipment is positioned in the target area according to the position information of the terminal equipment; if yes, go to step S1803; if not, executing step S1801;

step 1803, obtaining network priority information of the target area;

step S1804, according to the network priority information of the target area, updating the use priority of the network stored in each network factory module;

each type of network corresponds to one network factory module, and each network factory module is used for storing the use priority of the corresponding type of network.

Illustratively, it is assumed that the network priority information in the target area includes a cellular data network usage priority of 1, a wifi usage priority of 2, an ethernet usage priority of 3, and a bluetooth usage priority of 4; the network priority information outside the target area comprises the use priority of WIFI of 1, the use priority of Bluetooth of 2, the use priority of a cellular data network of 3 and the use priority of Ethernet of 4.

When the terminal device is located outside the target area, the use priority stored in the network factory module of the cellular data network is 3, the use priority stored in the WIFI network factory module is 1, the use priority stored in the Bluetooth network factory module is 2, and the use priority stored in the Ethernet network factory module is 4, and when the terminal device is located in the target area and the network priority information of the target area is obtained, the use priority of the network stored in each network factory module can be updated according to the network priority information of the target area, namely the use priority stored in the network factory module of the cellular data network is updated to 1, the use priority stored in the WIFI network factory module is updated to 2, the use priority stored in the Bluetooth network factory module is updated to 4, and the use priority stored in the Ethernet network factory module is updated to 3.

Step S1805, the use priority of each network in the target area is sent to the connection management module through the network factory module;

step 1806, sending the use priority of the currently connected network to each network factory module through the connection management module;

for example, assuming that the currently connected network of the terminal device is WIFI and the usage priority of WIFI in the target area is 2, the terminal device may send the usage priority of the currently connected network to each network factory module through the connection management module.

Step 1807, judge whether the use priority of the network stored in each network factory module is greater than the use priority of the network connected at present; if yes, go to step S1808; if not, executing step S1809;

step S1808, send the network to set up the request to the terminal installation through connecting the administrative module;

step S1809, communication is performed using the currently connected network.

Step S1810, establishing a network connection according to the received network establishment request, and performing communication.

Illustratively, in one embodiment, assume a usage priority of 1 stored in the network factory module of the cellular data network, a usage priority of 2 stored in the wifi network factory module, a usage priority of 3 stored in the ethernet network factory module, and a usage priority of 4 stored in the bluetooth network factory module. Assuming that the usage priority of the currently connected network sent by the connection management module received by each network factory module is 2, the usage priority stored in the network factory module can be compared with the usage priority of the currently connected network, and if the usage priority is greater than the usage priority of the currently connected network, the network factory module can send a network establishment request to the terminal device through the connection management module, that is, the network factory module of the cellular data network can send a network establishment request to the terminal device through the connection management module, and the terminal device can communicate through the cellular data network after receiving the network establishment request sent by the network factory module of the cellular data network.

In another embodiment, assuming that the priority of use of the currently connected network, which is sent by the connection management module and received by each network factory module, is 3, the network factory module of the cellular data network and the WIFI network factory module may send a network establishment request to the terminal device through the connection management module, and after receiving the network establishment requests sent by the network factory module of the cellular data network and the WIFI network factory module, the terminal device may use a network with a higher priority as a target network and establish a connection, that is, use the cellular data network as the target network and establish a connection, and communicate through the cellular data network.

In the embodiment of the present application, after determining the usage priority of each network in the target area, the usage priority of each network may be further converted into a corresponding priority score, for example, when the usage priority is 1, the priority value may be set to 90, when the usage priority is 2, the priority value may be set to 80, when the usage priority is 3, the priority value may be set to 70, when the usage priority is 4, the priority value may be set to 30, and then the target network is determined and used for communication by comparing the priority score of the currently connected network with the priority score of each network in the target area.
