Detailed Description

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.

A mobile terminal implementing various embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following description, suffixes used to represent elements such as "module", "means", or "unit" are used only for the convenience of description of the present invention, and have no specific meaning in themselves. Thus, "module" and "component" may be used in a mixture.

The mobile terminal may be implemented in various forms. For example, the terminal described in the present invention may include a mobile terminal such as a mobile phone, a smart phone, a notebook computer, a digital broadcast receiver, a PDA (personal digital assistant), a PAD (tablet computer), a PMP (portable multimedia player), a navigation device, and the like, and a stationary terminal such as a digital TV, a desktop computer, and the like. In the following, it is assumed that the terminal is a mobile terminal. However, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the configuration according to the embodiment of the present invention can be applied to a fixed type terminal in addition to elements particularly used for moving purposes.

Fig. 1 is a schematic hardware structure of an optional mobile terminal for implementing various embodiments of the present invention.

The mobile terminal 100 may include a wireless communication unit 110, an a/V (audio/video) input unit 120, a user input unit 130, a sensing unit 140, an output unit 150, a memory 160, an interface unit 170, a controller 180, and a power supply unit 190, etc. Fig. 1 illustrates a mobile terminal having various components, but it is to be understood that not all illustrated components are required to be implemented. 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 wireless internet module 113 supports wireless internet access of the mobile terminal. The module may be internally or externally coupled to the terminal. The wireless internet access technology to which the module relates may include WLAN (wireless LAN) (Wi-Fi), Wibro (wireless broadband), Wimax (worldwide interoperability for microwave access), HSDPA (high speed downlink packet access), and the like.

The short-range communication module 114 is a module for supporting short-range communication. Some examples of short-range communication technologies include bluetooth (TM), Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), infrared data association (IrDA), Ultra Wideband (UWB), zigbee (TM), and the like.

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 GPS (global positioning system). 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 module 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, and the like due to being touched), scroll wheel, joystick, and the like. In particular, when the touch pad is superimposed on the display module 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 module 151, an audio output module 152, an alarm module 153, and the like.

The display module 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 module 151 may display a User 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 module 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 module 151 and the touch pad are stacked on each other in the form of layers to form a touch screen, the display module 151 may serve as an input device and an output device. The display module 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 view from the outside, which may be referred to as transparent displays, and a typical transparent display may be, for example, a TOLED (transparent organic light emitting diode) 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 module 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 module 153 may provide output in different ways to notify the occurrence of an event. For example, the alarm module 153 may provide an output in the form of a vibration, and when a call, a message, or some other incoming communication (incomingmunication) is received, the alarm module 153 may provide a tactile output (i.e., a 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 module 153 may also provide an output notifying the occurrence of an event via the display module 151 or the audio output module 152.

The memory 160 may store software programs and 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, and the like) that has been or will 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 this point, mobile terminals have been described in terms of their functionality. 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 2750.

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 apparatus and method of the present invention are proposed. In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the connection module 10 in the terminal device may detect whether the terminal device is connected with an earphone, for example, the terminal device may be configured with an inductor, and if an earphone is electrically connected to an earphone jack of the terminal device, whether the terminal device is running a music APP or other APP that uses an earphone to play or sound, it may detect that the terminal device is connected with an earphone.

The application scenario of the embodiment of the present invention may be that the terminal device is connected to the earphone and is in a state of being connected to the earphone for a long time, for example, when a user uses the earphone connected to the terminal device to listen to music, the connection module 10 detects that the terminal device is connected to the earphone, and then the determination module 20 starts to perform operations of monitoring and determining the state of the terminal device. In practical applications, the determining module 20 may be configured with a sensing function, and when a trigger condition preset in the terminal device is sensed, it is determined that the terminal device is in a preset state. The trigger conditions preset in the terminal device include, for example: the terminal equipment does not move after exceeding the preset time, and the terminal equipment is in a standby state after exceeding the preset time.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the trigger condition for the trigger determination module 20 to determine that the terminal device is in the preset state is not limited, the trigger condition may be set by a designer of the terminal according to a common application scenario, or may be set by a user of the terminal device according to a usage habit of the user.

And the prompting module 30 is configured to send an alarm prompt tone through a speaker or/and an earphone of the terminal device when the judging module 20 judges that the terminal device is in the preset state.

In the embodiment of the present invention, once the determining module 20 determines that the terminal device is in the preset state, it indicates that the terminal device is likely not near the user or performs useless operations. The application scenario in which the terminal device performs the useless operation may be that a user enters a sleep state after listening to music or broadcasting through an earphone connected to the terminal device, at this time, the currently played music or broadcasting of the terminal device is played through the earphone all the time, that is, the terminal device performs the useless operation, in the application scenario, the music or broadcasting all the time consumes the electric quantity of the terminal device, and the terminal device is automatically turned off after the electric quantity is used up, so that if there is an important incoming call or information, the user may miss answering the important incoming call and delay receiving the information, and the user may listen to the music or broadcasting through the earphone all the time during the sleep, which may also cause bad factors to the body of the user. Therefore, the embodiment of the present invention provides a solution for the case where the determination module 20 determines that the terminal device is likely not to be around the user or performs a useless operation, that is, the prompting module 30 can send out a control signal when the judging module 20 judges that the terminal device is in the preset state, and drives a loudspeaker or/and an earphone of the terminal equipment to send out alarm prompt tones, so that, when the terminal device may be left out of the user for a long time or the terminal device may perform useless operations for a long time, can effectively achieve the functions of reminding the user and positioning the terminal equipment, help the user to quickly find the terminal equipment, or the user is prompted to close the APP currently running in the terminal equipment, the user is helped to sleep in a quiet environment, the electric quantity of the terminal equipment is saved, and automatic shutdown caused by the fact that the APP runs out of the electric quantity of the terminal equipment is avoided.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the prompting module 30 may send an alarm prompt tone through a speaker or/and an earphone of the terminal device, as shown in fig. 4, which is a schematic diagram of one terminal device in the alarm prompting apparatus of the terminal device provided in the embodiment of the present invention, and the terminal device shown in fig. 4 is connected to an earphone, so that when the determining module 20 determines that the terminal device is in the preset state, the prompting module 30 may send the alarm prompt tone. Generally, the playing sound of a speaker of a terminal device is relatively large, and a warning prompt sound emitted can be heard when a user is far away from the terminal device, and currently, in the hardware configuration of the terminal device, an earphone can be configured to have a speaker function in some application scenes to realize the playing effect of double speakers; for example, when the user answers the phone through the handset, the handset may be controlled not to turn on the speaker function, and for example, when the user is not connected and uses the terminal device to play music, or when the user uses the terminal device to navigate, or when the terminal device selects the speaker mode to answer the phone, the handset may be controlled to turn on the speaker function. That is, the earphone of the terminal device has the same playing effect as the speaker, and therefore, the prompting module 30 in the embodiment of the present invention may be configured to emit an alarm prompt tone through the speaker or/and the earphone of the terminal device.

It should be further noted that the warning prompt tone sent by the prompting module 30 in the embodiment of the present invention may be a preset high-frequency sound, which generally has the advantages of being easily found by the user and being easy to locate the terminal, and the warning prompt tone may also be a prompt tone set by the user and obviously different from other music, and is a prompt tone easily distinguished by the user.

The following briefly describes structural features of a dual speaker configured in a terminal device according to an embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 11, is a schematic structural diagram of a dual speaker in a terminal device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Generally, a handset and a speaker are configured on a terminal device, and the handset and the speaker are implemented by different sound channels, as shown in fig. 11, audio Digital Signal Processing (Digital Signal Processing, abbreviated as: DSP is provided with a left sound channel and a right sound channel, where sound emitted from the left sound channel is output from the handset through an audio power amplifier for use when a user uses the handset of a mobile phone to make and receive a call, and sound emitted from the right sound channel is output from the speaker through another audio power amplifier for use when the user turns on the speaker function, because the handset in the embodiment of the present invention can also implement the speaker function, i.e., the handset can be used as a tweeter, sound emitted from a conventional handset is small, and clear sound can be heard only when the user makes a call with the terminal device in hand and the ear is close to the handset, as shown in fig. 12, which is a schematic structural diagram of a handset in the prior art, the magnetic circuit structure of the receiver comprises a central magnet and two side magnets, wherein the two side magnets are respectively arranged at two sides of the central magnet, and an electric signal is converted into an acoustic signal through the magnetic circuit structure; since the receiver in the embodiment of the present invention may be used as a tweeter, that is, the capability of converting an electrical signal into an acoustic signal in the receiver needs to be enhanced, as shown in fig. 13, the receiver is a schematic structural diagram of a receiver in the terminal device in the embodiment of the present invention, a magnetic circuit structure of the receiver includes a center magnet and four side magnets, and the two side magnets are respectively disposed around the center magnet.

Therefore, how to ensure the convenience and safety of the terminal device when the terminal device is connected with the earphone becomes a problem to be solved in the prior art. Compared with the terminal equipment in the prior art, the device provided by the embodiment of the invention can judge that the terminal equipment is in the preset state through the preset trigger condition under the condition that the terminal equipment is connected with the earphone, and send out the alarm prompt tone through the loudspeaker or/and the earphone of the terminal equipment when the terminal equipment is judged to be in the preset state, so that the terminal equipment can be effectively prompted to find the terminal equipment under the condition that the terminal equipment is possibly not at the user for a long time or the terminal equipment can execute useless operation for a long time, and the loss of the terminal equipment can be prevented.

According to the alarm prompting device of the terminal equipment, whether the terminal equipment is connected with the earphone or not is detected through the connection module, the judgment module judges whether the terminal equipment is in the preset state or not after the connection module detects that the terminal equipment is connected with the earphone, and then the prompting module sends out an alarm prompting sound through a loudspeaker or/and a receiver of the terminal equipment when the judgment module judges that the terminal equipment is in the preset state; the device provided by the embodiment of the invention can effectively prompt the user to find the terminal equipment under the condition that the terminal equipment is judged to be possibly not at the user for a long time or the terminal equipment is possibly used for executing useless operation for a long time, and can prevent the loss of the terminal device and avoid the phenomenon of power exhaustion caused by the terminal device performing useless operations for a long time, therefore, the device provided by the embodiment of the invention solves the problems that in the use process of the terminal equipment in the prior art, a user needs to operate some specific APPs by connecting earphones on the terminal equipment, the problem that the terminal equipment is difficult to find or even lost due to the fact that the terminal equipment is in a state of being connected with the earphone for a long time is solved, and the problem that the terminal equipment is automatically turned off due to the fact that the terminal equipment runs out of electricity due to the fact that useless operation is carried out for a long time is solved.
