Abstract

A data processing method includes: sending a network signal application request, and in response to a reception of a second network signal application instruction, obtaining uplink data of a communication terminal and controlling the communication terminal to turn off a communication module of the communication terminal, wherein the communication module comprises a baseband chip and is configured to receive or transmit a first network signal which is an M-th generation mobile communication network signal, the second network signal is an N-th generation mobile communication network signal, where N>M, and N and M are both positive integers; and transmitting the uplink data to a communication device externally connected to the communication terminal, and transmitting downlink data received by the communication device to the communication terminal, wherein the communication device is configured to receive or transmit the second network signal.

Claims (24)

1 . A data processing method, comprising:

sending a network signal application request, and in response to a reception of a second network signal application instruction, obtaining uplink data of a communication terminal and controlling the communication terminal to turn off a communication module of the communication terminal, wherein the communication module comprises a baseband chip and is configured to receive or transmit a first network signal which is an M-th generation mobile communication network signal, the second network signal is an N-th generation mobile communication network signal, where N>M, and N and M are both positive integers; and

transmitting the uplink data to a communication device externally connected to the communication terminal, and transmitting downlink data received by the communication device to the communication terminal, wherein the communication device is configured to receive or transmit the second network signal.

2 . The data processing method of claim 1 , further comprising:

controlling, in response to a power-on instruction, a power supply of the communication terminal to supply power to the communication device externally connected to the communication terminal.

3 . The data processing method of claim 1 , further comprising:

controlling, in response to a power-off instruction, a power supply of the communication terminal to stop supplying power to the communication device externally connected to the communication terminal.

4 . A communication method applicable to a communication terminal comprising a processor and an application program, wherein the communication method comprises:

controlling, in response to a connection signal of a communication device, the processor to execute the application program which, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to perform operations comprising:

sending a network signal application request, and in response to a reception of a second network signal application instruction, obtaining uplink data of a communication terminal and controlling the communication terminal to turn off a communication module of the communication terminal, wherein the communication module comprises a baseband chip and is configured to receive or transmit a first network signal which is an M-th generation mobile communication network signal, the second network signal is an N-th generation mobile communication network signal, where N>M, and N and M are both positive integers; and

transmitting the uplink data to a communication device externally connected to the communication terminal, and transmitting downlink data received by the communication device to the communication terminal, wherein the communication device is configured to receive or transmit the second network signal.

5 . The communication method of claim 4 , further comprising:

downloading and installing the application program locally in response to the connection signal of the communication device being received for the first time.

6 . The communication method of claim 4 , further comprising:

controlling, in response to a power-on instruction, a power supply of the communication terminal to supply power to the communication device externally connected to the communication terminal.

7 . The communication method of claim 4 , further comprising:

controlling, in response to a power-off instruction, a power supply of the communication terminal to stop supplying power to the communication device externally connected to the communication terminal.

8 . A non-transitory memory storing an application program which, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to perform a data processing method comprising:

sending a network signal application request, and in response to a reception of a second network signal application instruction, obtaining uplink data of a communication terminal and controlling the communication terminal to turn off a communication module of the communication terminal, wherein the communication module comprises a baseband chip and is configured to receive or transmit a first network signal which is an M-th generation mobile communication network signal, the second network signal is an N-th generation mobile communication network signal, where N>M, and N and M are both positive integers; and

transmitting the uplink data to a communication device externally connected to the communication terminal, and transmitting downlink data received by the communication device to the communication terminal, wherein the communication device is configured to receive or transmit the second network signal.

9 . A communication terminal, comprising:

an external data interface, a controller, a processor, and a non-transitory memory, wherein the external data interface is configured to be connected to an external communication device, and the controller is configured to control, in response to a connection signal of the communication device, the processor to execute an application program, the non-transitory memory storing the application program which, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to perform a data processing method comprising:

sending a network signal application request, and in response to a reception of a second network signal application instruction, obtaining uplink data of a communication terminal and controlling the communication terminal to turn off a communication module of the communication terminal, wherein the communication module comprises a baseband chip and is configured to receive or transmit a first network signal which is an M-th generation mobile communication network signal, the second network signal is an N-th generation mobile communication network signal, where N>M, and N and M are both positive integers; and

transmitting the uplink data to a communication device externally connected to the communication terminal, and transmitting downlink data received by the communication device to the communication terminal, wherein the communication device is configured to receive or transmit the second network signal.
