Data traffic management method and apparatus

An electronic device, comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• a memory coupled to the at least one processor and configured to store programming instructions;
• wherein the at least one processor is configured to execute the programming instructions to facilitate the electronic device performing the following:
• obtaining traffic control information of a wireless local area network (WLAN) hotspot of the electronic device, wherein the traffic control information comprises an upper traffic threshold;
• enabling the WLAN hotspot for sharing data traffic of the electronic device with other electronic devices, wherein the data traffic comprises mobile network data traffic;
• obtaining a first data traffic value, wherein the first data traffic value corresponds to a total data traffic amount used by the other electronic devices that perform data connection by using the WLAN hotspot;
• disabling the WLAN hotspot based on the data traffic value being greater than or equal to the upper traffic threshold;
• and
• displaying an indicator indicating that the WLAN hotspot has been disabled.

A non-transitory computer readable medium having processor-executable instructions stored thereon for data traffic management, wherein the processor-executable instructions, when executed, facilitate:

• obtaining traffic control information of a wireless local area network (WLAN) hotspot of an electronic device, wherein the traffic control information comprises an upper traffic threshold;
• enabling the WLAN hotspot for sharing data traffic of the electronic device with other electronic devices, wherein the data traffic comprises mobile network data traffic;
• obtaining a first data traffic value, wherein the first data traffic value corresponds to a total data traffic amount used by the other electronic devices that perform data connection by using the WLAN hotspot;
• disabling the WLAN hotspot based on the data traffic value being greater than or equal to the upper traffic threshold;
• and
• displaying an indicator indicating that the WLAN hotspot has been disabled.
