First, the technical terms related to the embodiment of the present application are described:

Network sharing service: the second electronic device shares the own cellular network or Wi-Fi with the surrounding first electronic devices, so that the first electronic devices have internet surfing capability, and the network using requirements of users of the first electronic devices are met.

The Wi-Fi implementation is taken as an example.

Referring to fig. 1, a schematic diagram of an application scenario for implementing a network sharing service at present is shown.

A first electronic device 1001 and a second electronic device 1002 are illustrated in fig. 1 (a), wherein the Wi-Fi connection of the second electronic device 1002.

Fig. 1 (b) illustrates that when a user clicks an App button for surfing the internet of the first electronic device 1001 to generate a surfing request by manually clicking an App button for sharing the internet Application program (Application) on the second electronic device 1002, the first electronic device 1001 cannot surf the internet because no network is available. And the second electronic device 1002 cannot recognize the internet surfing request to the user of the first electronic device 1001.

Fig. 1 (c) illustrates that after the user manually clicks the network App sharing button of the first electronic device 1001, the first electronic device 1001 is selected on the second electronic device 1002 to perform network sharing, so that the second electronic device 1002 shares Wi-Fi of the user to the first electronic device 1001, and the first electronic device 1001 is connected to the internet.

Fig. 1 (d) illustrates that the first electronic device 1001 shares the Wi-Fi network of the second electronic device 1002 to enable itself to use the network.

However, in this way, the user of the second electronic device is required to manually perform the network sharing start-up operation. And because the second electronic equipment can not automatically identify when the user of the first electronic equipment needs to use the network, the network sharing can be realized only by manually opening the network sharing service of the first electronic equipment when the user wants to surf the internet, which can lead to untimely opening of the network sharing by the first electronic equipment, so that the user experience is poor. In some scenarios, the second electronic device may not even enable the network sharing service for the first electronic device in time, which may result in the first electronic device not being able to use the network.

Based on the above, the embodiment of the application provides a network sharing method, when a first electronic device has no available network, the first electronic device intercepts an internet surfing request by using a pre-registered virtual network card, performs device searching to obtain a trusted device list, and obtains a second electronic device from the trusted device list. The first electronic device sends a network sharing request to the second electronic device. After the second electronic equipment receives the network sharing request, the network sharing service is started, so that the first electronic equipment shares the network of the second electronic equipment, and the first electronic equipment further meets the internet surfing requirement of a user. In the implementation manner, the first electronic equipment automatically triggers the second electronic equipment to start the network sharing service, and the second electronic equipment is not required to actively start the network sharing service, so that the real-time performance is high, and the user of the first electronic equipment can realize timely network sharing, so that the use experience of the user is improved.

The trust ring illustrated in fig. 2 (c) is also referred to as a trusted device list identification, and the device identification within the trust ring is used to represent online electronic devices in the trusted device list that may provide network sharing. The device identifier 2002a of the second electronic device 2002 and the device identifier 2001a of the first electronic device 2001, as well as other device identifiers that may provide a shared network, are illustrated in fig. 2 (c).

When the user clicks on the device identifier 2002a of the second electronic device on the trust ring, or the user drags the device identifier 2002a of the second electronic device to the device identifier 2001a of the first electronic device 2001, the network sharing service is automatically triggered, and the result shown in (d) of fig. 2 is obtained, that is, the sharing network of the first electronic device 2001 and the sharing network of the second electronic device 2002 are opened.

The Wi-Fi network of the second electronic device is shared by the first electronic device as illustrated in fig. 1 (d) to enable itself to use the network.

At this time, the first electronic device obtains the internet surfing request of the user, and then the network sharing service of the first electronic device and the second electronic device can be started. The process does not need to manually perform the network sharing starting operation by the user of the second electronic equipment, does not need to identify when the user of the first electronic equipment uses the network by the second electronic equipment, does not need to manually perform the network sharing starting operation by the user of the first electronic equipment, avoids the technical problem that the first electronic equipment is not timely in starting the network sharing, and improves the user experience.

Referring to fig. 6, a schematic diagram of a network sharing method according to an embodiment of the present application is provided, where the method is based on the application scenario shown in fig. 5, and the method specifically includes:

on the PC or PAD side (hereinafter represented for convenience, replaced by PC/PAD), the following steps are performed:

s61: and (5) registering.

When the PC/PAD is started, a virtual network card is created in advance, the virtual network card is registered to a network connection manager (ConnectivityManager, CM), and the CM is used for monitoring whether a network is available currently or not.

The specific registration mode is as follows: the PC/PAD registers the virtual network card to the CM via Telephony. Telephony is used to provide the communication function of PC/PAD. Such as the management of call status (including on, hung-up, etc.). Telephony is connected to a cellular path, a WLAN path, etc., and communicates according to Wi-Fi generated by the cellular network generated by the cellular path or by the WLAN path.

The CM detects the presence of a currently available network by monitoring the data network of telephone.

S62: the Internet surfing App sends an Internet surfing request of the PC/PAD to the CM.

When a user opens any Internet surfing App on the PC/PAD, the Internet surfing App can generate an Internet surfing request of the PC/PAD and send the Internet surfing request to the CM.

The CM receives the internet surfing request and performs network monitoring to determine whether a network is currently available. The specific monitoring mode is as follows:

The CM monitors the Telephony's data network, indicating that a PC/PAD is currently available when the Telephony's data network is cellular or Wi-Fi. When the Telephony data network does not have a cellular network and Wi-Fi, PC/PAD is currently unavailable. At this time, the CM sends an Internet surfing request to the virtual network card through Telephony. I.e. the virtual network card intercepts the user's internet surfing request.

S63: the virtual network card sends an automatic network sharing opening request to the network sharing service.

After the virtual network card intercepts the internet surfing request of the user, the virtual network card sends an automatic opening network sharing service to the network sharing service. After the network sharing service of the PC/PAD is opened, the existing network sharing service is triggered, and the network sharing is executed.

S64: and determining the second electronic equipment as a mobile phone.

A second electronic device that can provide network sharing is determined to be a handset from the list of trusted devices.

The online electronic devices in the trusted device list may be devices surrounding the first electronic device that satisfy the following conditions: the same network sharing service account number as the first electronic device is logged in, WLAN is turned on, and bluetooth is turned on. It is understood that a device in the trusted device list refers to a device that may be multi-device collaborative with the first electronic device. The devices around the first electronic device refer to devices having a distance from the first electronic device within a preset distance range.

The handset is specifically determined from the trusted device list as in step S306, which is not discussed here.

When the second electronic device is determined, the PC/PAD prompts the user to share the mobile phone network so as to enable the user to select whether to execute the network service of the shared mobile phone. Specific: referring to fig. 7, a schematic diagram of a network prompting a user to share a mobile phone is shown. And displaying a prompt box of 'sharing the mobile phone network' on a PC/PAD screen display interface, wherein the prompt box also comprises a 'confirm' button and a 'not sharing' button. When the user selects the "ok" button, network sharing of the PC/PAD with the handset is performed.

S65: a P2P physical channel is created.

The network sharing service of PC/PAD calls the communication module, and creates p2p physical channel and session protocol by using the communication module of the mobile phone. And the PC/PAD sends a network sharing request to the mobile phone through the p2p physical channel according to the session protocol.

In this embodiment, the p2p physical channel is used for p2p physical connection through the p2p network card of the PC/PAD and the p2p proxy network card of the mobile phone.
