In the following embodiments of this application, Bluetooth communication between the first electronic device and the second electronic device is used as an example for description. Optionally, the first electronic device and/or the second electronic device may have a Bluetooth low energy (BLE) component and a classic Bluetooth (BT) module. The first electronic device and the second electronic device may be connected to each other through the Bluetooth low energy component and/or the classic Bluetooth module, to implement a BLE connection or a BT connection between the first electronic device and the second electronic device.
A remote procedure call (RPC) component may run in the first electronic device and the second electronic device, so that the first electronic device has a function of remotely calling the second electronic device. The first electronic device may send an RPC operation request to the second electronic device through the Bluetooth connection between the first electronic device and the second electronic device, where the RPC operation request includes a network interface function call number. After receiving the RPC operation request, the second electronic device may call a network interface call function indicated by the network interface function call number, so as to call a network interface corresponding to the network interface call function by using the network interface call function. Response information of the network interface is sent to the first electronic device, so that the first electronic device implements proxy calling on the network interface of the second electronic device, where the network interface of the second electronic device is a network communication capability provided by the first electronic device. In this case, the first electronic device may be used as a network proxy client, and the second electronic device may be used as a network proxy server to provide a network communication capability for the first electronic device.

Step 301: When meeting a remote networking condition, a first electronic device sends an RPC operation request including a network interface function call number to a second electronic device.
In this embodiment of this application, the first electronic device may detect running data of the first electronic device periodically or in real time, and determine whether the first electronic device meets the remote networking condition, to determine whether the first electronic device needs to perform proxy calling on a network interface of the second electronic device.
When the first electronic device does not meet the remote networking condition, the first electronic device may call a local network interface to implement network communication. When the first electronic device meets the remote networking condition, the first electronic device may obtain a network interface function call number of a network interface function. The network interface function is used to call the network interface, and the network interface function call number is used to identify the network interface function. The RPC operation request is generated by encapsulating the network interface function call number of the network interface function according to an RPC protocol. The first electronic device may send the RPC operation request to the second electronic device through a Bluetooth-based connection established between the first electronic device and the second electronic device. It should be noted that the RPC operation request may further include information such as a network parameter and a network address of the second electronic device. The network interface is configured to provide a network communication function. For example, the network interface may be a socket interface, and the socket interface is also referred to as a bsd socket interface.
The remote networking condition may be a condition in which the first electronic device may perform proxy calling on a network interface of another electronic device. Optionally, the remote networking condition may include: the first electronic device is connected to the second electronic device; or the first electronic device is connected to the second electronic device, and power consumption of the first electronic device is greater than a specified power consumption threshold; or the first electronic device is connected to the second electronic device, and electrical energy of the first electronic device is less than a specified electrical energy threshold.
For example, in a case that the remote networking condition is that the first electronic device is connected to the second electronic device, the first electronic device may obtain a Bluetooth connection state between the first electronic device and the second electronic device in real time. When it is detected that the Bluetooth connection state between the first electronic device and the second electronic device is that a Bluetooth connection between the first electronic device and the second electronic device is successfully established, it is determined that the first electronic device meets the remote networking condition.
Step 302: The second electronic device calls a network interface call function indicated by the network interface function call number.
In this embodiment of this application, after receiving the RPC operation request sent by the first electronic device, the second electronic device may parse the RPC operation request according to the RPC protocol, to obtain the network interface function call number included in the RPC operation request. The second electronic device calls the network interface call function indicated by the network interface function call number, to call a local network interface of the second electronic device by using the network interface call function.
For example, the RPC operation request includes a socket interface parameter and the network interface function call number of the network interface call function used to call the socket interface. After parsing the RPC operation request, the second electronic device obtains the socket interface parameter and the network interface function call number. The second electronic device calls the network interface function indicated by the network interface function call number, and imports the socket interface parameter to the network interface function.
Step 303: The second electronic device generates an RPC operation response according to response information of a network interface called by the network interface call function.
In this embodiment of this application, the second electronic device calls the network interface call function to call the network interface by using the network interface call function, and obtains the response information returned by the network interface. The second electronic device generates the RPC operation response by encapsulating the response information according to the RPC protocol.
Step 304: The second electronic device sends the RPC operation response to the first electronic device.
In this embodiment of this application, the second electronic device sends the RPC operation response to the first electronic device through a Bluetooth-based connection established between the second electronic device and the first electronic device.
Step 305: The first electronic device parses the RPC operation response to obtain the response information of the network interface.
In this embodiment of this application, after receiving the RPC operation response sent by the second electronic device, the first electronic device parses the RPC operation response to obtain the response information of the network interface, so as to implement a network communication function of the first electronic device.
In conclusion, in the network connection method provided in this embodiment of this application, when the first electronic device meets the remote networking condition, the first electronic device sends the RPC operation request including the network interface function call number to the second electronic device, so that the second electronic device calls the network interface call function indicated by the network interface function call number, generates the RPC operation response according to the response information of the network interface called by the network interface call function, and sends the RPC operation response to the first electronic device. After receiving the RPC operation response sent by the second electronic device, the first electronic device may parse the RPC operation response to obtain the response information of the network interface. In this technical solution, the first electronic device may send the RPC operation request to the second electronic device, so that the second electronic device calls the local network interface, and returns the response information of the network interface to the first electronic device. The first electronic device implements proxy calling on the network interface of the second electronic device, and therefore the network interface of the second electronic device is a network communication capability provided by the first electronic device. Compared with current technology, the first electronic device is prevented from using a network component such as a modem to provide a network communication capability. On the basis of ensuring that the first electronic device has a network communication capability, working duration of the network component in the first electronic device is reduced, thereby reducing impact of high running power consumption of the network component on an endurance capability of the first electronic device, and improving the endurance capability of the first electronic device.
Referring to
Step 401: When meeting a remote networking condition, a first electronic device sends an RPC operation request including a network interface function call number to a second electronic device.
For an explanation and implementation of this step, refer to the explanation and implementation of the foregoing step 301. Details are not described in this embodiment of this application.
Step 402: The second electronic device calls a network interface call function indicated by the network interface function call number.
For an explanation and implementation of this step, refer to the explanation and implementation of the foregoing step 302. Details are not described in this embodiment of this application.
It should be noted that in an optional application scene, both the first electronic device and the second electronic device may perform an operation in a multiplexing manner. In this embodiment of this application, an example in which both the first electronic device and the second electronic device may perform an operation in a multiplexing manner is used for description. For example, the second electronic device may call the network interface call function by using a multiplex monitoring function. The second electronic device may create a handle of the network interface called by the network interface call function, and content of the handle is second information. The second electronic device stores the handle of the network interface in a second storage space. A process in which the second electronic device calls the network interface call function indicated by the network interface function call number includes: when it is monitored, by using the multiplex monitoring function, that the handle that is of the network interface and that includes the second information exists in the second storage space, calling the network interface call function indicated by the network interface function call number.
The handle is also referred to as a handle number, and is monitored by the multiplex monitoring function. Optionally, the second storage space may store the handle of the network interface. The multiplex monitoring function is used to monitor the handle of the network interface. When the second electronic device detects, by using the multiplex monitoring function, that the handle that is of the network interface and that includes the second information exists in the second storage space, a process of calling the network interface call function indicated by the network interface function call number may include: when it is monitored, by using the multiplex monitoring function, that the handle of the network interface is the second information, calling the network interface call function indicated by the network interface function call number. Optionally, the multiplex monitoring function may be a select function or a poll function.
For example, the second electronic device establishes the handle of the network interface in response to the networking instruction, and content of the handle is the second information. The handle of the network interface is stored in the second storage space. When the select function detects that the handle of the network interface is the second information, the network interface call function indicated by the network interface function call number is called. The networking instruction may be generated by the second electronic device when a user to whom the second electronic device belongs wants to use a network communication function by using the second electronic device. For example, the user clicks a networking identifier, so that when receiving the click operation for the networking identifier, the second electronic device generates the networking instruction in response to the click operation.
Step 403: The second electronic device generates an RPC operation response according to response information of a network interface called by the network interface call function.
In this embodiment of this application, the second electronic device calls the network interface call function to call the network interface by using the network interface call function, and obtains the response information returned by the network interface. The second electronic device generates the RPC operation response by encapsulating the response information according to the RPC protocol.
Step 404: The second electronic device sends the RPC operation response to the first electronic device.
In this embodiment of this application, the second electronic device sends the RPC operation response to the first electronic device through a Bluetooth-based connection established between the second electronic device and the first electronic device.
Step 405: The first electronic device parses the RPC operation response to obtain the response information of the network interface.
In this embodiment of this application, after receiving the RPC operation response sent by the second electronic device, the first electronic device parses the RPC operation response to obtain the response information of the network interface, so as to implement a network communication function of the first electronic device.
Step 406: The second electronic device updates a handle of the network interface from second information to first information, where the first information is used to indicate that the network interface is called through the RPC operation request.
Optionally, the first information may be specified information, or the first information may be information generated by using a setting rule according to the second information. In a case that the first information may be the information generated by using the setting rule according to the second information, a process in which the second electronic device updates the handle of the network interface from the second information to the first information may include: the second electronic device generates the first information by using the setting rule according to the second information, and updates the handle of the network interface from the second information to the first information.
For example, the content of the handle may be a value, and the handle may be a fixed value greater than 100,000. The setting rule may be that the first information is a sum of the second information and 100,000. If the handle that is of the network interface and that is created by the second electronic device is 26, that is, the second information is 26, the first information generated by the second electronic device by using the setting rule according to the second information is 100,026. The handle of the network interface is updated to 100,026.
Step 407: The second electronic device sends the handle to the first electronic device.
In this embodiment of this application, the second electronic device may send the handle of the network interface to the first electronic device through the Bluetooth-based connection established between the second electronic device and the first electronic device. It should be noted that step 406 may be performed before step 403. In this case, that the second electronic device generates the RPC operation response according to the response information of the network interface called by the network interface call function may be replaced with that the second electronic device generates the RPC operation response according to the response information of the network interface called by the network interface call function and the handle of the network interface. That is, the RPC operation response may include the response information of the network interface and the handle of the network interface.
Step 408: The first electronic device stores the handle in a first storage space, where the handle is monitored by a multiplex monitoring function.
In this embodiment of this application, after receiving the handle that is of the network interface and that is sent by the second electronic device, the first electronic device may store the handle of the network interface in the first storage space. For example, the first electronic device may include a virtual file system layer, and the first storage space may be a storage space corresponding to the virtual file system layer. The first electronic device may monitor, by using the multiplex function, the handle stored in the first storage space.
Step 409: The first electronic device responds to a networking instruction, and sends the RPC operation request to the second electronic device when it is monitored, by using the multiplex monitoring function, that the handle including the first information exists in the first storage space, where the RPC operation request further includes the handle.
In this embodiment of this application, when the user wants to use the network communication function, a target input used to trigger the network communication function may be performed on the first electronic device, and the networking instruction is generated in response to the target input. The networking instruction is used to reflect that the first electronic device needs to call the network interface. In response to the networking instruction, the first electronic device may locally call the network interface call function, to call the network interface by using the network interface call function, and obtain the response information of the network interface. Alternatively, the first electronic device may send the RPC operation request to the second electronic device, so that the first electronic device performs proxy calling on the network interface of the second electronic device, to obtain the response information of the network interface of the second electronic device.
The first electronic device responds to the networking instruction and determines whether it is monitored, by using the multiplex monitoring function, that the handle including the first information exists in the first storage space, to determine whether the first electronic device can perform proxy calling on the network interface of the second electronic device by sending the RPC request to the second electronic device.
When it is monitored, by using the multiplex monitoring function, that the handle including the first information exists in the first storage space, it indicates that the first electronic device may perform proxy calling on the network interface of the second electronic device. In this case, the first electronic device sends the RPC operation request to the second electronic device. The RPC operation request includes the network interface function call number and the handle that is of the network interface and that includes the first information. When it is not monitored, by using the multiplex monitoring function, that the handle including the first information exists in the first storage space, it indicates that the first electronic device cannot perform proxy calling on the network interface of the second electronic device. In this case, the first electronic device may call the network interface call function to obtain the response information of the network interface called by the network interface call function. In other words, the first electronic device may call the local network interface to receive the response information of the network interface, so as to implement network communication.
Optionally, the first storage space may store the handle of the network interface. When the handle that includes the first information and that is sent by the second electronic device is not received, the handle stored in the first storage space may be the handle that is of the network interface and that is created by the first electronic device, and the handle includes third information. After the first electronic device receives the handle that includes the first information and that is sent by the second electronic device, a process in which the first electronic device stores the handle in the first storage space may include: the first electronic device updates the handle that is of the network interface and that includes the third information in the first storage space to the handle including the first information.
The first electronic device may respond to the networking instruction, and determines whether it is monitored, by using the multiplex monitoring function, that the handle of the network interface in the first storage space is the first information. When it is monitored, by using the multiplex monitoring function, that the handle of the network interface in the first storage space is the first information, it is determined that the handle including the first information exists in the first storage space. When it is monitored, by using the multiplex monitoring function, that the handle of the network interface in the first storage space is not the first information, it is determined that the handle including the first information does not exist in the first storage space.
For example, the example in step 406 is still used as an example. The first electronic device determines whether it is monitored, by using the multiplex monitoring function, that the handle of the network interface in the first storage space is 100,026. When it is monitored that the handle of the network interface in the first storage space is 100,026, the RPC operation request is sent to the second electronic device, so that the second electronic device calls the local network interface in response to the RPC request, and returns the response information of the network interface to the first electronic device. When it is monitored that the handle of the network interface in the first storage space is not 100,026, the first electronic device may call the local network interface to obtain the response information of the network interface.
Step 410: The second electronic device updates the received handle from the first information to the second information, and perform step 402.
In this embodiment of this application, after receiving the RPC operation request that includes the handle of the network interface and that is sent by the first electronic device, the second electronic device updates the received handle from the first information to the second information, and stores the updated handle in the second storage space. Therefore, the second electronic device performs step 402 and when it is monitored, by using the multiplex monitoring function, that the handle that is of the network interface and that includes the second information exists in the second storage space, calls the network interface call function indicated by the network interface function call number.
Optionally, in a case that the first information may be the information generated by using the setting rule according to the second information, a process in which the second electronic device updates the received handle from the first information to the second information may include: the second electronic device restores and generates the second information by using the setting rule according to the first information, and updates the handle of the network interface from the first information to the second information.
For example, the setting rule may be that the first information is a sum of the second information and 100,000. If the handle in the RPC operation request received by the second electronic device is 100,026, the second information generated by the second electronic device by using the setting rule according to the first information is 26. The handle of the network interface in the first storage space is updated to 26.
In this embodiment of this application, after the second electronic device calls the network interface call function indicated by the network interface function call number, the second electronic device updates the handle of the network interface to the first information used to indicate that the network interface is called by using the RPC operation request, and sends the updated handle of the network interface to the first electronic device. Therefore, when performing an operation in a multiplexing manner, the first electronic device may determine, according to whether the handle that is of the network interface and that includes the first information is detected by using the multiplex monitoring function, that the first electronic device performs proxy calling on the network interface of the second electronic device, or performs calling on the local network interface of the first electronic device. In other words, the first electronic device may distinguish, according to whether the handle that is of the network interface and that includes the first information is detected by using the multiplex monitoring function, whether the first electronic device uses the network interface of the second electronic device to provide the network communication capability for the first electronic device, or the first electronic device uses the local network interface of the first electronic device to provide the network communication capability for the first electronic device, so that the first electronic device can be compatible with calling of the local network interface and calling of the network interface of the second electronic device, thereby resolving a problem of calling compatibility in multiplexing.
In conclusion, in the network connection method provided in this embodiment of this application, when the first electronic device meets the remote networking condition, the first electronic device sends the RPC operation request including the network interface function call number to the second electronic device, so that the second electronic device calls the network interface call function indicated by the network interface function call number, generates the RPC operation response according to the response information of the network interface called by the network interface call function, and sends the RPC operation response to the first electronic device. After receiving the RPC operation response sent by the second electronic device, the first electronic device may parse the RPC operation response to obtain the response information of the network interface. In this technical solution, the first electronic device may send the RPC operation request to the second electronic device, so that the second electronic device calls the local network interface, and returns the response information of the network interface to the first electronic device. The first electronic device implements proxy calling on the network interface of the second electronic device, and therefore the network interface of the second electronic device is a network communication capability provided by the first electronic device. Compared with current technology, the first electronic device is prevented from using a network component such as a modem to provide a network communication capability. On the basis of ensuring that the first electronic device has a network communication capability, working duration of the network component in the first electronic device is reduced, thereby reducing impact of high running power consumption of the network component on an endurance capability of the first electronic device, and improving the endurance capability of the first electronic device.
