Network parameter configuration method and apparatus for portable router
View Patent ↗The present invention discloses a network parameter configuration method, which includes: selecting, by the portable router, at least one target network configuration parameter package from at least two network configuration parameter packages that are pre-saved, where the network configuration parameter package includes at least a network connection parameter of the portable router; setting, by the portable router according to the at least one target network configuration parameter package, a network configuration parameter of the portable router; and requesting, by the portable router, to access an uplink network connected to an uplink network port of the portable router. According to the present invention, when the portable router switches from one scenario to another, a configuration parameter of the portable router may be quickly restored to a configuration parameter that was pre-saved for the another application scenario, so that reconfiguration of the portable router is avoided and configuration efficiency is improved.
1. A network parameter configuration method for a portable router, comprising:
setting, by the portable router by using a network configuration parameter package, a network configuration parameter of the portable router;
detecting whether the portable router is successfully connected to an uplink network;
if it is detected that the portable router is successfully connected to the uplink network, saving: (1) the network configuration parameter package and correspondences between the network configuration parameter package and an application scenario, (2) a data uplink manner, and (3) a geographic location;
selecting, by the portable router, at least one target network configuration parameter package from at least two network configuration parameter packages that are pre-saved by the portable router, wherein the network configuration parameter package comprises at least a network connection parameter of the portable router;
setting, by the portable router according to the at least one target network configuration parameter package, a network configuration parameter of the portable router; and
requesting, by the portable router, to access the uplink network connected to an uplink network port of the portable router,
wherein the selecting at least one target network configuration parameter package from at least two network configuration parameter packages that are pre-saved by the portable router comprises:
detecting whether a trigger signal exists, wherein the trigger signal is generated from a user operation and carries information about the application scenario, wherein the application scenario is selected by a user; and
selecting the target network configuration parameter package corresponding to the application scenario when it is detected that the trigger signal exists, and
wherein the selecting at least one target network configuration parameter package from at least two configuration parameters that are pre-saved by the portable router comprises:
detecting the geographic location of the portable router; and
selecting, according to the geographic location, all corresponding target network configuration parameter packages.
2. The method according to claim 1 wherein the network configuration parameter package further comprises at least one or more of Media Access Control (MAC) address binding information, bandwidth limitation information, and parental control information that are of the portable router.
3. A parameter configuration apparatus for a portable router, comprising:
a processing unit, configured to select at least one target network configuration parameter package from at least two network configuration parameter packages that are pre-saved by the portable router, wherein the network configuration parameter package comprises at least a network connection parameter of the portable router;
a configuration unit, connected to the processing unit and configured to set a network configuration parameter of the portable router according to the at least one target network configuration parameter package; and
a network unit, connected to the configuration unit and configured to request to access an uplink network connected to an uplink network port of the portable router;
wherein the configuration unit is further configured to:
set the network configuration parameter of the portable router by using the network configuration parameter package; and
the apparatus further comprises a saving unit, connected to the configuration unit and the processing unit and configured to: detect whether the portable router is successfully connected to the uplink network, and
if it is detected that the portable router is successfully connected to the uplink network, save: (1) the network configuration parameter package and correspondences between the network configuration parameter package and an application scenario and (2) a data uplink manner,
wherein the processing unit is further configured to:
detect a geographic location of the portable router; and
select, according to the geographic location, all corresponding target network configuration parameter packages.
4. The apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the processing unit is further configured to:
detect whether a trigger signal exists, wherein the trigger signal is generated from a user operation and carries information about an application scenario selected by a user; and
if it is detected that the trigger signal exists, select the target network configuration parameter package corresponding to the application scenario.
5. The apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the network configuration parameter package further comprises at least one or more of Media Access Control (MAC) address binding information, bandwidth limitation information, and parental control information that are of the portable router.
