Communication method and terminal
First Claim
1. A terminal, comprising:
- a communication module connected to a wireless router via a first network;
a processor; and
a memory for storing instructions executable by the processor;
wherein the processor is configured to;
receive a communication operation instruction, wherein the received communication operation instruction comprises an activation instruction for operating an application, the application being stored with at least one communication device identity;
select a communication device identity based on an operation in the application;
determine a target communication device as a communication device corresponding to the selected communication device identity, wherein the target communication device is connected to said wireless router via a second network;
connect to the second network;
communicate with the target communication device through the second network;
look up a network frequency band supported by the target communication device, wherein the application is stored with network frequency bands supported by each communication device corresponding to each stored communication device identity; and
determine the second network of the target communication device according to the network frequency band.

Abstract
A communication method and a terminal are provided. The terminal may be equipped with circuitry that supports connecting to a wireless router using two or more frequency bands. The router may provide multiple networks using respective frequency bands. The terminal may be connected to the router a first frequency band. The method and terminal may facilitate establishment of a direct communication between the terminal and another terminal that is connected to the router using a network of a second frequency band. The another terminal may be equipped with a circuitry that only supports the second frequency band. The method and terminal describe determining a network that a target communication device is connected to, and connecting the terminal to that network. The terminal may then communicate with the target communication device through the network.

8. A non-transitory readable storage medium comprising instructions, executable by a processor in a terminal, for performing a communication method, the method comprising:
-
receiving a communication operation instruction by the terminal, the terminal connected to a first network provided by a wireless router, wherein the received communication operation instruction comprises an activation instruction for operating an application, the application being stored with at least one communication device identity; selecting a communication device identity based on an operation in the application; determining a target communication device as a communication device corresponding to the selected communication device identity; determining a second network that the target communication device is connected to, the second network provided by said wireless router; connecting the terminal to the second network; establishing a communication between the terminal and the target communication device through the second network; looking up a network frequency band supported by the target communication device, wherein the application is stored with network frequency bands supported by each communication device corresponding to each stored communication device identity; and determining the second network of the target communication device according to the network frequency band. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10)
