The Android system is a new generation of smart mobile terminal system. In more and more mobile terminals, the Android system is used as an operation system, and the users of the mobile terminals adopting the Android system also increasingly grow. The mobile terminal with the Android system provides strong network functions, and the users can Access Internet very conveniently.
There are two basic concepts in the Android system need to be introduced firstly, one is APN, and the other is PDP. Wherein:
Access Point Name (APN): the logical name of one Gateway GPRS Support Node (GGSN) and the external network; corresponding APN configuration is required when a PDP is activated.
Packet Data Protocol (PDP): an interaction channel between a mobile terminal and the network; one PDP enables the mobile terminal to own an IP address, and it is corresponding to one network interface in the mobile terminal.
Through studies the inventor finds that currently, the mobile terminal adopting the Android system does not support usage of multiple APNs simultaneously while performing the network related services. That is to say, at one timing, in the mobile terminal adopting the Android system there are only one APN in the being used state, and correspondingly, there is just one PDP exists in the mobile terminal adopting the Android system. In case that the APN existed in the mobile terminal with the Android system is an APN for a dedicated service, e.g. an APN specialized for the Internet service, and corresponding PDP can only process the Internet service. When the mobile terminal being processing the Internet service receives a request for processing the Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS), a processing method on the current Android system firstly deactivates a PDP presently in the activated state and being processing the Internet service, then activates a PDP capable of processing the MMS according to the configuration of the APN capable of processing the MMS, and recovers the former PDP for processing the Internet service after the processing of the MMS is ended. It is clear that in the current Android system, when a PDP corresponding to a dedicated APN is processing a service, if a request for processing a different type of service is received, the processing of the current service shall be interrupted to process the new service, which greatly influences the processing of the original service, reduces the processing speed of the mobile terminal, and decreases the user experience.
