Automatic data link switching method for terminal, and terminal
A terminal and an automatic data link switching method for a terminal are provided. The method includes that: an AP retrieves an APN required by establishment of a data link of a connection of a first network after receiving from a MODEM a notice of establishing the connection of the first network, and when an APN retrieval result is null, sends to the MODEM a notice of switching to a connection of a second network; and the MODEM switches to the second network after receiving from the AP the notice of switching to the connection of the second network, and sends a notice to the AP. By the method and terminal, when there is no APN required by the connection of the first network and a data service cannot be normally used, the terminal can be automatically switched to the second network for establishment of the data link.
1. An automatic data link switching method for a terminal, comprising:
retrieving, by an Application Processor (AP), an Access Point Name (APN) required by establishment of a data link of a connection of a first network after receiving from a MODEM a notice of establishing the connection of the first network, and when an APN retrieval result is null, sending, by the AP, to the MODEM a notice of switching to a connection of a second network; and
switching, by the MODEM, to the second network after receiving from the AP the notice of switching to the connection of the second network, and sending, by the MODEM, to the AP a notice of establishing a data link of the connection of the second network;
wherein retrieving the APN required by the establishment of the data link of the connection of the first network comprises: reading information of a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card, and retrieving, wherein the information of the SIM card is information of an operating company of the SIM card, and searching the APN database for a matched APN of the operating company according to the information of the operating company of the SIM card, wherein the APN database comprises a pre-integrated correspondence between each operating company and an APN corresponding to the operating company.
2. The automatic data link switching method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein establishment of the data link of the connection of the first network requires an APN as an access parameter, and establishment of the data link of the connection of the second network does not require any APN as an access parameter.
3. The automatic data link switching method as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the first network is an Enhanced High Rate Packet Data (eHRPD) network, and the second network is a High Rate Packet Data (HRPD) network.
4. The automatic data link switching method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first network is an Enhanced High Rate Packet Data (eHRPD) network, and the second network is a High Rate Packet Data (HRPD) network.
5. A terminal, comprising an Application Processor (AP) and a MODEM, wherein
the AP is configured to retrieve an Access Point Name (APN) required by establishment of a data link of a connection of a first network after receiving from the MODEM a notice of establishing the connection of the first network, and when an APN retrieval result is null, send to the MODEM a notice of switching to a connection of a second network; and
the MODEM is configured to switch to the second network after receiving from the AP the notice of switching to the connection of the second network, and send to the AP a notice of establishing a data link of the connection of the second network;
wherein the AP is configured to retrieve the APN required by the establishment of the data link of the connection of the first network in a following manner: reading information of a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card, and retrieving, wherein the information of the SIM card is information of an operating company of the SIM card, and searching the APN database for a matched APN of the operating company according to the information of the operating company of the SIM card, wherein the APN database comprises a pre-integrated correspondence between each operating company and an APN corresponding to the operating company.
6. The terminal as claimed in claim 5 , wherein establishment of the data link of the connection of the first network requires an APN as an access parameter, and establishment of the data link of the connection of the second network does not require any APN as an access parameter.
7. The terminal as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the first network is an Enhanced High Rate Packet Data (eHRPD) network, and the second network is a High Rate Packet Data (HRPD) network.
8. The terminal as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the first network is an Enhanced High Rate Packet Data (eHRPD) network, and the second network is a High Rate Packet Data (HRPD) network.
9. An Application Processor (AP), comprising:
a receiving component, configured to receive information about a connection of a first network from a MODEM and send the information;
a data link establishment component, configured to retrieve an Access Point Name (APN) required by establishment of the connection of the first network after receiving the information sent by the receiving component, and when an APN retrieval result is null, send information, stop a data link establishment flow and send information indicating that a data link of the connection of the first network is not established;
a sending component, configured to send to the MODEM a notice of switching to a connection of a second network after receiving the information sent by the data link establishment component;
wherein the receiving component is further configured to, after receiving information about the connection of the second network from the MODEM, send the information to the data link establishment component; and
the data link establishment component is further configured to initiate a data link establishment flow of the connection of the second network,
wherein the data link establishment component requires an APN as an access parameter for establishment of the data link of the connection of the first network, and does not require any APN as an access parameter for establishment of a data link of the connection of the second network;
wherein the data link establishment component is configured to retrieve the APN required by the establishment of the data link of the connection of the first network in a following manner: reading information of a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card, wherein the information of the SIM card is information of an operating company of the SIM card, and searching the APN database for a matched APN of the operating company according to the information of the operating company of the SIM card, wherein the APN database comprises a pre-integrated correspondence between each operating company and an APN corresponding to the operating company.
10. A MODEM, comprising:
a network connection component, configured to establish a connection of a first network;
a sending component, configured to send information about the connection of the first network to an Application Processor (AP) to initiate a data link establishment flow of the connection of the first network to make the AP retrieving an Access Point Name (APN) required by establishment of a data link of a connection of a first network in a following manner: reading information of a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card, wherein the information of the SIM card is information of an operating company of the SIM card, and searching the APN database for a matched APN of the operating company according to the information of the operating company of the SIM card, wherein the APN database comprises a pre-integrated correspondence between each operating company and an APN corresponding to the operating company; and
a receiving component, configured to, after receiving from the AP a notice of switching to a connection of a second network, send to the network connection component a notice of establishing the connection of the second network, wherein
after the network connection component establishes the connection of the second network, the sending component is configured to send information about the connection of the second network to the AP to initiate a data link establishment flow of the connection of the second network, wherein initiation of a data link of the connection of the first network requires an APN as an access parameter, and initiation of a data link of the connection of the second network does not require any APN as an access parameter.
