Description

Mobile terminal, method and device for monitoring mobile terminal data flow

The present invention relates to a data traffic monitoring technology, and in particular, to a mobile terminal and a method and apparatus for monitoring data traffic of a mobile terminal. Background technique

With the popularity of mobile phone's third-generation mobile communication technology (3rd-generation, 3G), the data traffic accessible by mobile Internet access is getting larger and larger. For example, the data traffic of a video clip using a 3G mobile phone is as high as several megabytes. Section. Currently, mobile Internet data service packages are generally provided by communication operators. Such data service packages usually have the function of limiting data traffic, such as allowing only 300 Mbytes of data traffic per month. If the data traffic exceeds the limit of the data service pack, additional billing is required. Therefore, mobile phone users need to monitor the data traffic of mobile phones to avoid extra charges for network charges.

At present, there are two methods for monitoring the data traffic of mobile Internet access: The first is to call the service hotline or send a short message to the operator to query the used data traffic and the remaining data traffic. This method has poor real-time performance, low accuracy, and is time consuming and cumbersome. The second type is the Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) packet, which calculates the data traffic of the Internet based on the WAP message. However, this method only supports WAP packets. The large amount of data accessed by 3G mobile phones is generally based on Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), RSS (Really Simple Syndication, a format for describing and synchronizing website content), and streaming media. Therefore, this method can not meet the needs of 3G mobile Internet access. Summary of the invention

The implementation, functional features, and advantages of the present invention will be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings. It is understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention. Referring to FIG. 1, an embodiment of a method for monitoring data traffic of a mobile terminal on the Internet includes the following steps:

Step S101: Accumulate data traffic values transmitted between the mobile terminal and the Internet within a set time. In this step, the set time can be in units of day, week, month or other length of time. Each time a data transmission between a mobile terminal and the Internet is performed, the data traffic of the transmission is counted. In this step, the data flow value of each transmission is cumulatively calculated from the start time of the set time until the accumulation is performed. The data flow value is greater than or equal to the preset data traffic upper limit value, or until the end of the set time.

The above mobile terminals include a general mobile phone, a smart phone with multiple application functions, a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), and a pen.

Step S102: Comparing the accumulated data flow value with the preset data flow upper limit value; comparing the accumulated data flow value with the preset data flow upper limit value, and determining that the accumulated data flow value is greater than or equal to the preset data. The upper limit of the flow rate is still less than the upper limit of the preset data flow.

Step S103: When the accumulated data flow value is greater than or equal to the preset data traffic upper limit value, the data transmission function between the mobile terminal and the Internet is closed.

In this step, the data transmission function between the mobile terminal and the Internet is closed by calling a control function.

By turning off the data transmission function between the mobile terminal and the Internet, the data traffic transmitted between the mobile terminal and the Internet can be controlled within the preset data traffic upper limit within a set time, thereby effectively preventing the data traffic due to the Internet. Additional data charges are imposed above the upper limit of the data traffic.

Step S104: Generate alarm prompt information, and display alarm prompt information.

The alarm prompt information in this step is used to inform the user that the current accumulated data flow value has reached or exceeded the data traffic upper limit value within the set time, and cannot continue to access the Internet within the set time.

Embodiments of the present invention use when the accumulated data traffic value is greater than or equal to the preset data traffic. When the limit is set, the method of turning off the data transmission function between the mobile terminal and the Internet can automatically control the data traffic within the set time. Therefore, when the user accesses the Internet through the mobile terminal, there is no need to worry that the data traffic exceeds the upper limit of the data traffic, and an additional charge is required. .
