More or fewer components may alternatively be implemented. Elements of the mobile terminal will be described in detail below.

The wireless communication unit 110 typically includes one or more components that allow radio communication between the mobile terminal 100 and a wireless communication system or network. For example, the wireless communication unit may include at least one of a broadcast receiving module 111, a mobile communication module 112, a wireless internet module 113, a short-range communication module 114, and a location information module 115.

The broadcast receiving module 111 receives a broadcast signal and/or broadcast associated information from an external broadcast management server via a broadcast channel. The broadcast channel may include a satellite channel and/or a terrestrial channel. The broadcast management server may be a server that generates and transmits a broadcast signal and/or broadcast associated information or a server that receives a previously generated broadcast signal and/or broadcast associated information and transmits it to a terminal. The broadcast signal may include a TV broadcast signal, a radio broadcast signal, a data broadcast signal, and the like. Also, the broadcast signal may further include a broadcast signal combined with a TV or radio broadcast signal. The broadcast associated information may also be provided via a mobile communication network, and in this case, the broadcast associated information may be received by the mobile communication module 112. The broadcast signal may exist in various forms, for example, it may exist in the form of an Electronic Program Guide (EPG) of Digital Multimedia Broadcasting (DMB), an Electronic Service Guide (ESG) of digital video broadcasting-handheld (DVB-H), and the like. The broadcast receiving module 111 may receive a signal broadcast by using various types of broadcasting systems. In particular, the broadcast receiving module 111 may receive digital broadcasting by using a digital broadcasting system such as a data broadcasting system of multimedia broadcasting-terrestrial (DMB-T), digital multimedia broadcasting-satellite (DMB-S), digital video broadcasting-handheld (DVB-H), forward link media (MediaFLO @), terrestrial digital broadcasting integrated service (ISDB-T), and the like. The broadcast receiving module 111 may be constructed to be suitable for various broadcasting systems that provide broadcast signals as well as the above-mentioned digital broadcasting systems. The broadcast signal and/or broadcast associated information received via the broadcast receiving module 111 may be stored in the memory 160 (or other type of storage medium).

The mobile communication module 112 transmits and/or receives radio signals to and/or from at least one of a base station (e.g., access point, node B, etc.), an external terminal, and a server. Such radio signals may include voice call signals, video call signals, or various types of data transmitted and/or received according to text and/or multimedia messages.

The location information module 115 is a module for checking or acquiring location information of the mobile terminal. A typical example of the location information module is a Global Positioning System (GPS). According to the current technology, the GPS module 115 calculates distance information and accurate time information from three or more satellites and applies triangulation to the calculated information, thereby accurately calculating three-dimensional current location information according to longitude, latitude, and altitude. Currently, a method for calculating position and time information uses three satellites and corrects an error of the calculated position and time information by using another satellite. In addition, the GPS module 115 can calculate speed information by continuously calculating current position information in real time.

The a/V input unit 120 is used to receive an audio or video signal. The a/V input unit 120 may include a camera 121 and a microphone 1220, and the camera 121 processes image data of still pictures or video obtained by an image capturing apparatus in a video capturing mode or an image capturing mode. The processed image frames may be displayed on the display unit 151. The image frames processed by the cameras 121 may be stored in the memory 160 (or other storage medium) or transmitted via the wireless communication unit 110, and two or more cameras 121 may be provided according to the construction of the mobile terminal. The microphone 122 may receive sounds (audio data) via the microphone in a phone call mode, a recording mode, a voice recognition mode, or the like, and can process such sounds into audio data. The processed audio (voice) data may be converted into a format output transmittable to a mobile communication base station via the mobile communication module 112 in case of a phone call mode. The microphone 122 may implement various types of noise cancellation (or suppression) algorithms to cancel (or suppress) noise or interference generated in the course of receiving and transmitting audio signals.

The user input unit 130 may generate key input data according to a command input by a user to control various operations of the mobile terminal. The user input unit 130 allows a user to input various types of information, and may include a keyboard, dome sheet, touch pad (e.g., a touch-sensitive member that detects changes in resistance, pressure, capacitance, etc. due to being touched), scroll wheel, joystick, etc. In particular, when the touch pad is superimposed on the display unit 151 in the form of a layer, a touch screen may be formed.

The sensing unit 140 detects a current state of the mobile terminal 100 (e.g., an open or closed state of the mobile terminal 100), a position of the mobile terminal 100, presence or absence of contact (i.e., touch input) by a user with the mobile terminal 100, an orientation of the mobile terminal 100, acceleration or deceleration movement and direction of the mobile terminal 100, and the like, and generates a command or signal for controlling an operation of the mobile terminal 100. For example, when the mobile terminal 100 is implemented as a slide-type mobile phone, the sensing unit 140 may sense whether the slide-type phone is opened or closed. In addition, the sensing unit 140 can detect whether the power supply unit 190 supplies power or whether the interface unit 170 is coupled with an external device.

The interface unit 170 serves as an interface through which at least one external device is connected to the mobile terminal 100. For example, the external device may include a wired or wireless headset port, an external power supply (or battery charger) port, a wired or wireless data port, a memory card port, a port for connecting a device having an identification module, an audio input/output (I/O) port, a video I/O port, an earphone port, and the like. The identification module may store various information for authenticating a user using the mobile terminal 100 and may include a User Identity Module (UIM), a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM), a Universal Subscriber Identity Module (USIM), and the like. In addition, a device having an identification module (hereinafter, referred to as an "identification device") may take the form of a smart card, and thus, the identification device may be connected with the mobile terminal 100 via a port or other connection means. The interface unit 170 may be used to receive input (e.g., data information, power, etc.) from an external device and transmit the received input to one or more elements within the mobile terminal 100 or may be used to transmit data between the mobile terminal and the external device.

In addition, when the mobile terminal 100 is connected with an external cradle, the interface unit 170 may serve as a path through which power is supplied from the cradle to the mobile terminal 100 or may serve as a path through which various command signals input from the cradle are transmitted to the mobile terminal. Various command signals or power input from the cradle may be used as signals for recognizing whether the mobile terminal is accurately mounted on the cradle. The output unit 150 is configured to provide output signals (e.g., audio signals, video signals, alarm signals, vibration signals, etc.) in a visual, audio, and/or tactile manner. The output unit 150 may include a display unit 151, an audio output module 152, an alarm unit 153, and the like.

The display unit 151 may display information processed in the mobile terminal 100. For example, when the mobile terminal 100 is in a phone call mode, the display unit 151 may display a User's Interface (UI) or a Graphical User Interface (GUI) related to a call or other communication (e.g., text messaging, multimedia file downloading, etc.). When the mobile terminal 100 is in a video call mode or an image capturing mode, the display unit 151 may display a captured image and/or a received image, a UI or GUI showing a video or an image and related functions, and the like.

Meanwhile, when the display unit 151 and the touch pad are overlapped with each other in the form of a layer to form a touch screen, the display unit 151 may serve as an input device and an output device. The display unit 151 may include at least one of a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), a thin film transistor LCD (TFT-LCD), an Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) display, a flexible display, a three-dimensional (3D) display, and the like. Some of these displays may be configured to be transparent to allow a user to see from the outside, which may be referred to as transparent displays, and a typical transparent display may be, for example, a Transparent Organic Light Emitting Diode (TOLED) display or the like. Depending on the particular desired implementation, the mobile terminal 100 may include two or more display units (or other display devices), for example, the mobile terminal may include an external display unit (not shown) and an internal display unit (not shown). The touch screen may be used to detect a touch input pressure as well as a touch input position and a touch input area.

The audio output module 152 may convert audio data received by the wireless communication unit 110 or stored in the memory 160 into an audio signal and output as sound when the mobile terminal is in a call signal reception mode, a call mode, a recording mode, a voice recognition mode, a broadcast reception mode, or the like. Also, the audio output module 152 may provide audio output related to a specific function performed by the mobile terminal 100 (e.g., a call signal reception sound, a message reception sound, etc.). The audio output module 152 may include a speaker, a buzzer, and the like.

The alarm unit 153 may provide an output to notify the mobile terminal 100 of the occurrence of an event. Typical events may include call reception, message reception, key signal input, touch input, and the like. In addition to audio or video output, the alarm unit 153 may provide output in different ways to notify the occurrence of an event. For example, the alarm unit 153 may provide an output in the form of vibration, and when a call, a message, or some other incoming communication (communicating communication) is received, the alarm unit 153 may provide a tactile output (i.e., vibration) to inform the user thereof. By providing such a tactile output, the user can recognize the occurrence of various events even when the user's mobile phone is in the user's pocket. The alarm unit 153 may also provide an output notifying the occurrence of an event via the display unit 151 or the audio output module 152.

The memory 160 may store software programs or the like for processing and controlling operations performed by the controller 180, or may temporarily store data (e.g., a phonebook, messages, still images, videos, etc.) that has been output or is to be output. Also, the memory 160 may store data regarding various ways of vibration and audio signals output when a touch is applied to the touch screen.

The memory 160 may include at least one type of storage medium including a flash memory, a hard disk, a multimedia card, a card-type memory (e.g., SD or DX memory, etc.), a Random Access Memory (RAM), a Static Random Access Memory (SRAM), a read-only memory (ROM), an electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM), a programmable read-only memory (PROM), a magnetic memory, a magnetic disk, an optical disk, and the like. Also, the mobile terminal 100 may cooperate with a network storage device that performs a storage function of the memory 160 through a network connection.

The controller 180 generally controls the overall operation of the mobile terminal. For example, the controller 180 performs control and processing related to voice calls, data communications, video calls, and the like. In addition, the controller 180 may include a multimedia module 181 for reproducing (or playing back) multimedia data, and the multimedia module 181 may be constructed within the controller 180 or may be constructed separately from the controller 180. The controller 180 may perform a pattern recognition process to recognize a handwriting input or a picture drawing input performed on the touch screen as a character or an image.

The power supply unit 190 receives external power or internal power and provides appropriate power required to operate various elements and components under the control of the controller 180.

The various embodiments described herein may be implemented in a computer-readable medium using, for example, computer software, hardware, or any combination thereof. For a hardware implementation, the embodiments described herein may be implemented using at least one of an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC), a Digital Signal Processor (DSP), a Digital Signal Processing Device (DSPD), a Programmable Logic Device (PLD), a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), a processor, a controller, a microcontroller, a microprocessor, an electronic unit designed to perform the functions described herein, and in some cases, such embodiments may be implemented in the controller 180. For a software implementation, the implementation such as a process or a function may be implemented with a separate software module that allows performing at least one function or operation. The software codes may be implemented by software applications (or programs) written in any suitable programming language, which may be stored in the memory 160 and executed by the controller 180.

Up to now, the mobile terminal has been described in terms of its functions. Hereinafter, a slide-type mobile terminal among various types of mobile terminals, such as a folder-type, bar-type, swing-type, slide-type mobile terminal, and the like, will be described as an example for the sake of brevity. Accordingly, the present invention can be applied to any type of mobile terminal, and is not limited to a slide type mobile terminal.

The mobile terminal 100 as shown in fig. 1 may be configured to operate with communication systems such as wired and wireless communication systems and satellite-based communication systems that transmit data via frames or packets.

A communication system in which a mobile terminal according to the present invention is operable will now be described with reference to fig. 2.

Such communication systems may use different air interfaces and/or physical layers. For example, the air interface used by the communication system includes, for example, Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA), Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), and Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) (in particular, Long Term Evolution (LTE)), global system for mobile communications (GSM), and the like. By way of non-limiting example, the following description relates to a CDMA communication system, but such teachings are equally applicable to other types of systems.

Referring to fig. 2, the CDMA wireless communication system may include a plurality of mobile terminals 100, a plurality of Base Stations (BSs) 270, Base Station Controllers (BSCs) 275, and a Mobile Switching Center (MSC) 280. The MSC280 is configured to interface with a Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) 290. The MSC280 is also configured to interface with a BSC275, which may be coupled to the base station 270 via a backhaul. The backhaul may be constructed according to any of several known interfaces including, for example, E1/T1, ATM, IP, PPP, frame Relay, HDSL, ADSL, or xDSL. It will be understood that a system as shown in fig. 2 may include multiple BSCs 275.

Each BS270 may serve one or more sectors (or regions), each sector covered by a multi-directional antenna or an antenna pointing in a particular direction being radially distant from the BS 270. Alternatively, each partition may be covered by two or more antennas for diversity reception. Each BS270 may be configured to support multiple frequency allocations, with each frequency allocation having a particular frequency spectrum (e.g., 1.25MHz,5MHz, etc.).

The intersection of partitions with frequency allocations may be referred to as a CDMA channel. The BS270 may also be referred to as a Base Transceiver Subsystem (BTS) or other equivalent terminology. In such a case, the term "base station" may be used to generically refer to a single BSC275 and at least one BS 270. The base stations may also be referred to as "cells". Alternatively, each sector of a particular BS270 may be referred to as a plurality of cell sites.

As shown in fig. 2, a Broadcast Transmitter (BT)295 transmits a broadcast signal to the mobile terminal 100 operating within the system. A broadcast receiving module 111 as shown in fig. 1 is provided at the mobile terminal 100 to receive a broadcast signal transmitted by the BT 295. In fig. 2, several Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites 300 are shown. The satellite 300 assists in locating at least one of the plurality of mobile terminals 100.

In fig. 2, a plurality of satellites 300 are depicted, but it is understood that useful positioning information may be obtained with any number of satellites. The GPS module 115 as shown in fig. 1 is generally configured to cooperate with satellites 300 to obtain desired positioning information. Other techniques that can track the location of the mobile terminal may be used instead of or in addition to GPS tracking techniques. In addition, at least one GPS satellite 300 may selectively or additionally process satellite DMB transmission.

As a typical operation of the wireless communication system, the BS270 receives reverse link signals from various mobile terminals 100. The mobile terminal 100 is generally engaged in conversations, messaging, and other types of communications. Each reverse link signal received by a particular base station 270 is processed within the particular BS 270. The obtained data is forwarded to the associated BSC 275. The BSC provides call resource allocation and mobility management functions including coordination of soft handoff procedures between BSs 270. The BSCs 275 also route the received data to the MSC280, which provides additional routing services for interfacing with the PSTN 290. Similarly, the PSTN290 interfaces with the MSC280, the MSC interfaces with the BSCs 275, and the BSCs 275 accordingly control the BS270 to transmit forward link signals to the mobile terminal 100.

Based on the above mobile terminal hardware structure and communication system, various embodiments of the present invention are proposed.

The technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

The identification information of the terminal refers to unique identification information capable of determining the Identity of the terminal, such as an International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) code in a Mobile phone, a Media Access Control (MAC) address of a terminal device, and the like, and the identification and Control of the terminal device can be realized by acquiring the unique identification information of the terminal device.

Step 501: when the terminal meets a preset management condition, determining a terminal management strategy corresponding to the identification information of the terminal; the preset management conditions include: the current position of the terminal is in a preset special management area, and the coverage area of the access point comprises the preset special management area.

Here, the preset management condition further includes: the current time is within a predetermined time period in which the functions of the terminal need to be managed.

In an actual embodiment, the specific management area location information may be preset to determine whether the terminal satisfies a preset management condition, for example, the specific management area location information includes a start longitude, a start latitude, an end longitude, and an end latitude of the specific management area.

It can be understood that, the access point acquires the terminal identification information in its coverage area, and may also acquire the terminal location information, where the terminal location information includes: and the longitude and latitude of the terminal judge whether the terminal position is in a special management area preset by an access point, if so, judge whether the current time is in a predetermined time period in which the functions of the terminal need to be managed, and if so, determine a terminal management strategy corresponding to the terminal according to the terminal identification information.

Here, a plurality of terminal management policies are set in advance, each of the terminal management policies corresponding to identification information of at least one terminal. It can be understood that different terminal management policies are adopted for terminals held by different users according to the special management area, at least one terminal management policy is preset, and the terminal management policy corresponding to the terminal is determined by acquiring the identification information of the terminal.

The terminal management policy includes at least one of: power control, information prompt tone volume control, call control, photographing control, recording control, wireless access control, screen brightness control and the like.

Illustratively, the special management area location information is: starting latitude: north latitude 34 ° 16' N, starting longitude: east longitude 108 ° 54' E, ending latitude: north latitude 34 ° 17' N, end longitude: 108 ° 55' E. The predetermined management period is: 09:00-18:00. When the access point is a base station, the position information of the mobile phone A in the coverage area of the access point is obtained as follows: 34 degrees 16 '20' N north latitude, 108 degrees 54 '30' E east longitude, and current time 13: 30. The current position of the mobile phone A is in a special management area preset by the base station, and the current time is within a predetermined management time period. And the mobile phone A meets the preset management conditions of the base station, and determines the terminal management strategy corresponding to the mobile phone A.

The special management area has different management modes for the staff and other staff in the area, and the method for determining the terminal management strategy corresponding to the mobile phone a may be as follows: firstly, determining mobile phone identification information of each worker, such as a base station acquiring the mobile phone IMEI number of each worker and establishing a mobile phone IMEI number query list; secondly, the base station acquires the IMEI number of the mobile phone A and searches whether a corresponding IMEI number exists in a pre-established IMEI number inquiry list of the mobile phone; and finally, when the IMEI number which is the same as the IMEI number of the mobile phone A is found in the IMEI number query list of the mobile phone, determining that the terminal management strategy corresponding to the mobile phone A is a first management strategy, and if the IMEI number which is the same as the IMEI number is not found, determining that the terminal management strategy corresponding to the mobile phone A is a second management strategy.

Here, the first management policy set for the worker may be: forbidding to surf the internet and forbidding to answer the call; the second management policy set for the other person may be: the internet surfing, the photo taking and the mobile phone are forbidden to be muted.

In the embodiment of the invention, different management time periods can be set for different mobile phones.

It should be noted that, when the terminal does not satisfy the preset management condition, the process may return to step 500.

Step 502: controlling a function of the terminal based on the determined terminal management policy.

In practical applications, the function of controlling the terminal includes: and the access point generates a control signaling based on the terminal management strategy and sends the control signaling to the terminal so as to control the function of the terminal.

Illustratively, if it is determined that the terminal management policy corresponding to the mobile phone a is the first management policy, the first management policy determined by the base station is: and forbidding to connect the network and forbidding to answer the call. The method for controlling the mobile phone a by the base station according to the first management policy may be: the base station sends prompt information to the mobile phone A, for example, prompts a user that 'your mobile phone network is disconnected and in a limited incoming/outgoing call state'; and generating a control signaling, sending the control signaling, and controlling the disconnection of the network connection of the mobile phone A, including a wireless network signal, a mobile phone data flow signal and the like. The base station refuses to receive the communication request sent by the mobile phone A to the base station, and stops sending the wireless communication signal to the mobile phone A.

In the embodiment of the invention, when the access point acquires the position information of the terminal, the position information of the terminal can be regularly updated according to the set time interval, and whether the preset management condition is met or not is judged again, so that the high efficiency and the rationality of terminal management are ensured.

According to the method for controlling the terminal function through the access point, the access point acquires the identification information of the terminal in the coverage area of the access point; when the terminal meets a preset management condition, determining a terminal management strategy corresponding to the identification information of the terminal; the preset management conditions include: the current position of the terminal is in a preset special management area, and the coverage area of the access point comprises the preset special management area; controlling a function of the terminal based on the determined terminal management policy; obviously, compared with the prior art, the method for controlling the terminal function through the access point provided by the embodiment of the invention effectively solves the problem of controlling the terminal function through the access point in a special management area, is convenient for user operation and improves the user experience.

In order to further embody the object of the present invention, based on the first embodiment of the present invention, the access point is exemplified by the base station, and the terminal is exemplified by the mobile phone, in the background of the special occasion that the ticket purchasing is needed to enter, such as a movie theater, etc.

Fig. 6 is a flowchart of a second embodiment of the method for controlling terminal function switching through an access point according to the present invention, as shown in fig. 6, the flowchart includes:

step 600: and the base station acquires the position information and the identification information of the mobile phone B in the coverage area of the base station.

In the embodiment of the invention, the base station acquires the position information and the identification information of a successfully connected mobile phone B in the coverage area of the base station. When the base station acquires the position information of the mobile phone B, the position information can be acquired at regular time according to a set time interval. After acquiring the current location information of the mobile phone B, step 602 may be directly executed; step 601 may also be performed first.

In the specific embodiment of the present invention, the method for the base station to acquire the location information of the mobile phone B may be implemented by a GSP (Global Positioning System), an AGSP (Assisted Global Positioning System), a cell Positioning method, and other methods.

Here, the base station coverage area includes a cinema with an area of 6000 square meters (length 100 meters, width 60 meters), and in order to ensure the viewing environment of the audience, the electronic equipment carried by the audience and staff entering the cinema needs to be functionally controlled, including: the volume control of the information prompt tone, the brightness control of the screen, the control of the photographing function and the like.

Step 601: judging whether the position information of the mobile phone B is different from the position information of the mobile phone B acquired last time, if so, executing a step 602; if not, a jump is made back to step 600.

In the embodiment of the invention, in order to avoid repeated judgment when the mobile phone B is at the same position and improve the resource utilization rate, before judging whether the mobile phone B meets the preset management condition, whether the current position information of the mobile phone B is the same as the position information of the mobile phone B obtained last time needs to be judged, and if so, whether the mobile phone B meets the preset management condition is judged; if not, the position information of the mobile phone B is acquired again.

Step 602: judging whether the position of the mobile phone B is in the special management area, if so, executing step 603; if not, a jump is made back to step 600.

In the embodiment of the invention, the special management area is within the cinema position range preset by the base station.

Step 603: and determining a terminal management strategy corresponding to the mobile phone B according to the identification information of the mobile phone B.

In the embodiment of the invention, the corresponding terminal management strategies are different because different mobile phone users have different time for entering the movie theater.

In a national information security unit such as a military management area or various types of research units, extremely high requirements are placed on information security, and in order to prevent secret leakage, related personnel are required to be forbidden to carry electronic equipment with a communication function, a shooting function, a recording function and the like when entering a specific area, so that much inconvenience is brought to the people, and secret leakage cannot be completely avoided.

Fig. 7 is a flowchart of a third embodiment of the method for controlling terminal function switching through an access point according to the present invention, as shown in fig. 7, the flowchart includes:

step 700: and the base station acquires the position information and the identification information of the mobile phone D in the coverage area of the base station.

Step 701: judging whether the mobile phone D is in the special management area, if so, executing a step 702; if not, return to step 700.

In the embodiment of the invention, the special area to be protected can be flexibly set by changing the position information of the special area in the base station, and it can be understood that for a national information security unit, the range of the special management area is generally larger than that of an actual place, so that the protection area can be more comprehensively protected.

In the embodiment of the invention, when judging whether the preset management condition is met, only whether the mobile phone D is in the special management area is judged, and whether the current time is in the management time period is not judged. It is understood that it is necessary to perform management for all connected terminals for 24 hours in some special areas without interruption, and thus the judgment of the management time period can be omitted.

Illustratively, the special management area location information is: starting latitude: north latitude 34 ° 16' N, starting longitude: east longitude 108 ° 54' E, ending latitude: north latitude 34 ° 17' N, end longitude: 108 ° 55' E. The position information of the mobile phone D is: 34 ° 16 'N north latitude, 108 ° 54' E east longitude. And the base station acquires the position information of the mobile phone D and judges that the mobile phone D meets the preset management conditions.

In the embodiment of the invention, the position setting of the special management area and the terminal management strategy setting of different levels can be directly set for the base station, and the base station can also be set by the base station background management center.

Step 702: and determining a terminal management strategy corresponding to the mobile phone D according to the identification information of the mobile phone D.

In the embodiment of the invention, the base station in the special management area has different management modes for the workers and other personnel in the area, firstly, all the workers are divided into n types according to the working properties of the different workers; secondly, the base station establishes a staff inquiry list from level 1 to level n according to the mobile phone IMEI code of each staff; furthermore, when a visitor exists, the base station adds the IMEI code of the newly connected visitor person mobile phone to an n + 1-level visitor person IMEI code list according to the advanced reservation information, and if the visitor leaves or a worker leaves the base station, the base station can delete the IMEI code in the corresponding query list in time; finally, the base station regards all other IMEI codes which are not in all the inquiry lists as mobile phones carried by the n + 2-level passers. The value of n is an integer greater than or equal to 1.

When n takes 3, the preset terminal management policy comprises the following steps: a first-level worker management strategy, a second-level worker management strategy, a third-level worker management strategy, a fourth-level visitor management strategy and a fifth-level visitor management strategy.

In the embodiment of the invention, the base station acquires the identification information IMEI code of the mobile phone D, and determines the terminal management strategy of the mobile phone D from the preset terminal management strategies.

Illustratively, a user of the mobile phone D is a visitor in a special management area, and the mobile phone D corresponds to a fourth-level visitor management policy: the power is turned off.

If the user of the mobile phone E is a person passing through the management area, the mobile phone E corresponds to a fifth-level passerby management strategy: forbidding communication, forbidding information receiving and sending, forbidding network connection, forbidding shooting and recording.

Step 703: the base station refuses to accept the communication request of the mobile phone D and stops sending wireless communication signals to the mobile phone D; the base station generates a control signaling and sends the control signaling to the mobile phone D.

It is understood that, in the area where the country information is kept secret, the base station rejects the communication request sent to the base station from all the handsets in the area, and stops sending the wireless communication signal to all the handsets in the area.

And the base station sends a prompt message 'your mobile phone will be closed after 30 seconds' to the mobile phone D according to the terminal management strategies corresponding to the mobile phone D and the mobile phone E, generates a power supply closing control signaling, and sends the control power supply closing signaling to the mobile phone D after 30 seconds. The base station sends a prompt message to the mobile phone E that the user enters a key management area, and the functions of mobile phone data connection, shooting, recording and the like are suspended! ", generate the corresponding control signaling and control the handset E.

It can be understood that the base station may record and store the current functional state of the mobile phone before the base station controls the functions of the mobile phone, and when the mobile phone leaves a special management area, the base station may send a control signaling to recover the corresponding functional state of the mobile phone, thereby improving user experience.

Fig. 8 is a first terminal interaction diagram according to the second and third embodiments of the present invention, and fig. 9 is a second terminal interaction diagram according to the second and third embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 8 and 9, after receiving the prompt message, the user may select "confirm" to immediately perform the control operation of the access point on the terminal, or may select "postpone" operation, or select "cancel" user self-setting.

For example, when the user selects "postpone operation", postpone may be selected to be 1 minute, 5 minutes or 10 minutes, and the upper time limit of postponement is determined by the management manner of the terminal in the special area. For example, the time of deferral is set with reference to the time of the start of a movie in a movie theater, and cannot be delayed in a military management area.

When the user selects 'cancel' self setting, the terminal functions such as information prompt tone volume, screen brightness and the like have adjustable ranges, the user is required to adjust the tone volume value, the screen brightness value and the like to be less than or equal to the value required by the terminal management strategy, and other terminal function controls such as a photographing function, a recording function and the like only to open and close two selected terminal functions, so that the setting can be carried out only according to the requirements of the terminal management strategy.
