All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

The terms "first," "second," and the like in the description and claims of the present invention and in the above-described drawings are used for distinguishing between different objects and not for describing a particular order. Furthermore, the terms "include" and "have," as well as any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, system, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of steps or elements is not limited to only those steps or elements listed, but may alternatively include other steps or elements not listed, or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

Reference herein to "an embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment can be included in at least one embodiment of the invention. The appearances of the phrase in various places in the specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment, nor are separate or alternative embodiments mutually exclusive of other embodiments. It is explicitly and implicitly understood by one skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

The Mobile terminal according to the embodiment of the present invention may include various handheld devices, vehicle-mounted devices, wearable devices, computing devices or other processing devices connected to a wireless modem, and various forms of User Equipment (UE), Mobile Stations (MS), a Mobile terminal (terminal device), and the like, which have wireless communication functions. For convenience of description, the above-mentioned devices are collectively referred to as a mobile terminal.

The following describes embodiments of the present invention in detail.

Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic flow chart of a signal strength indication method according to an embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 1, the signal strength indication method includes the following steps.

During the running of the game application on the mobile terminal, the mobile terminal detects the signal strength of the mobile terminal 101.

102, when detecting that the signal intensity of the mobile terminal is smaller than a preset intensity threshold, the mobile terminal acquires the current geographic information of the mobile terminal.

In the embodiment of the present invention, during the process of running the game application on the mobile terminal, the mobile terminal may periodically detect (for example, detect once every 500 ms) the signal strength of the mobile terminal. Meanwhile, the mobile terminal may acquire current geographical location information of the mobile terminal while periodically detecting its own signal strength, and store the periodically detected signal strength of the mobile terminal and the corresponding geographical location information in a memory (e.g., a non-volatile memory) of the mobile terminal. The mobile terminal can periodically or non-periodically receive the signal strength transmitted by the base station through the wireless receiving module.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the unit of the signal strength may be dBm or asu. Where dBm represents an absolute value of power, since the received signal strength is generally negative, the smaller the absolute value, the stronger the signal strength. asu is a defined unique signal unit, and the larger the value, the stronger the signal strength. The geographical location information may include coordinate information of the mobile terminal, such as longitude information and latitude information. The geographic location information may also include a geographic location identification, such as XX numbers in XX areas XX ways in XX city of XX provinces.

When the mobile terminal detects that the signal intensity of the mobile terminal is smaller than a preset intensity threshold value, determining that the current signal intensity of the mobile terminal is weaker, and further acquiring current geographic information of the mobile terminal; and when the signal intensity of the mobile terminal is greater than or equal to the preset intensity threshold value, determining that the current signal intensity of the mobile terminal is stronger and the communication quality is better. Wherein, the above step 101 can be repeatedly executed.

The preset intensity threshold may also be stored in a non-volatile memory of the mobile terminal. For example, the preset strength threshold may be set to-70 dBm, and when the mobile terminal detects that the signal strength is-85 dBm, the mobile terminal may determine that the signal strength is smaller than the preset strength threshold, and then perform step 102.

103, the mobile terminal determines a target area corresponding to the current geographical position information.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the correspondence between the target area and the current geographic location information may be: the geographic position corresponding to the current geographic position information is located in the center of the target area. The target area may be a circle or a rectangle, for example, the target area is a circular area with a radius of 50 meters and centered at the geographic location corresponding to the current location information. Generally, the straight-line distance from the geographic position corresponding to the current position information to all areas in the target area is less than 200 meters.

And 104, the mobile terminal estimates the target position with the strongest signal strength in the target area.

In the embodiment of the invention, the mobile terminal can estimate the target position with the strongest signal strength in the target area according to the corresponding relation between the signal strength of the mobile terminal and the geographical position information which are historically counted by the mobile terminal in the target area. For example, the mobile terminal has historically counted the signal strengths of 100 mobile terminals and the corresponding 100 geographical location information in the target area, and estimates the target location with the strongest signal strength in the target area from the signal strengths of the 100 mobile terminals and the signal strength distribution in the target area. The target location with the strongest signal strength in the target area is not necessarily one of the 100 pieces of position location information corresponding to the signal strengths of the 100 mobile terminals, and the target location with the strongest signal strength in the target area may be estimated according to the signal strength variation trends of the 100 pieces of geographical location information.

Optionally, the mobile terminal may further send a request for obtaining signal strength distribution in the target area to the base station, and receive the signal strength distribution in the target area detected by the base station, and the mobile terminal determines the target position with the strongest signal strength in the target area according to the signal strength distribution in the target area.

Optionally, step 104 may include the steps of:

(11) the mobile terminal acquires the signal intensity of the mobile terminal and corresponding geographical position information which are acquired historically;

(12) the mobile terminal determines the historical signal intensity change trend of the mobile terminal in the target area according to the signal intensity of the mobile terminal and the corresponding geographical position information;

(13) and the mobile terminal calculates the target position with the strongest signal strength in the target area according to the historical signal strength change trend.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the historically acquired signal strength and corresponding geographic position information of the mobile terminal may be the signal strength and corresponding geographic position information of the mobile terminal acquired by the mobile terminal within a past preset time (for example, the preset time may be set to 1 minute, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, or the like), or the signal strength and corresponding geographic position information of the mobile terminal acquired in a historical movement track within a preset distance range (for example, within a distance range of 100 meters from the current position).

Optionally, the historical signal strength variation trend includes any one of a signal strength increasing trend, a signal strength decreasing trend and a signal strength stationary trend, and the mobile terminal calculates the target location with the strongest signal strength in the target area according to the historical signal strength variation trend, including:

the mobile terminal calculates a target position with the strongest signal intensity in the direction which is the same as the moving direction of the historical moving track in the target area according to the signal intensity enhancement trend, and the historical moving track is generated based on the historically acquired geographical position information of the mobile terminal; alternatively, the first and second electrodes may be,

the mobile terminal calculates a target position with the strongest signal intensity in the direction opposite to the moving direction of the historical moving track in the target area according to the signal intensity weakening trend; alternatively, the first and second electrodes may be,

and the mobile terminal calculates the target position with the strongest signal intensity in the direction forming a preset included angle with the moving direction of the historical moving track in the target area according to the steady trend of the signal intensity.

After the mobile terminal acquires the signal intensity collected historically and the corresponding geographical position information, the statistical analysis is carried out to obtain the historical signal intensity variation trend of the mobile terminal, or the historical signal intensity variation trend of the mobile terminal is determined according to a preset algorithm. Wherein the historical signal trend comprises a signal trend of each position in the historical movement track in a period of time. For example, if the historical movement track of the mobile terminal in a period of time is from the B position to the F position, the historical signal strength variation trend of the whole from the B position to the F position in the period of time can be determined. The historical signal strength variation tendency may be any one of a signal strength increasing tendency, a signal strength decreasing tendency, and a signal strength stationary tendency. For example, see tables 1-5 below.

TABLE 1

Geographical location information	Signal Strength (Unit: -dBm)
		Position B	-95
Position C	-90
		D position	-88
E position	-85
		Position F	-80

TABLE 2

Geographical location information	Signal Strength (Unit: -dBm)
		Position B	-95
Position C	-96
		D position	-90
E position	-84
		Position F	-80

As shown in tables 1 and 2, the historical signal intensity trend is a signal intensity increasing trend, that is, the historical signal intensity change from the B position to the F position is an increasing trend. In table 2, although the signal strength decreases slightly from B to C, the overall trend is still increasing, and the historical signal strength trend in table 2 is a signal strength increasing trend.

TABLE 3

TABLE 4

Geographical location information	Signal Strength (Unit: -dBm)
		Position B	-85
Position C	-84
		D position	-89
E position	-93
		Position F	-97

As shown in tables 3 and 4, the historical signal strength variation trend may be a signal strength decreasing trend, that is, the historical signal strength variation from the B position to the F position is decreased. In table 4, although the signal strength increases slightly from B to C, the overall trend is still reduced, and the historical signal strength trend in table 2 is a signal strength reduction trend.

TABLE 5

Geographical location information	Signal Strength (Unit: -dBm)
		Position B	-82
Position C	-83
		D position	-81
E position	-83
		Position F	-84

As shown in table 5, the historical signal strength variation trend may be a signal strength stationary trend, that is, the absolute value of the historical signal strength of the whole from the B position to the F position varies within a preset signal strength range (for example, 5dBm), that is, the signal strength variation is small and is stationary.

If the historical signal strength variation trend is a signal strength enhancement trend, the mobile terminal can calculate the target position with the strongest signal strength in the direction which is the same as the moving direction of the historical moving track in the target area according to the signal strength enhancement trend. As shown in table 1, when the user moves from the position B to the position F, the signal strength of the mobile terminal is gradually increased, and B, C, D, E, F may be connected into a curve, and the target position with the strongest signal strength in the target area is indicated in the same direction as the moving direction of the historical moving track in the tangential direction of the position F. During the moving process of the mobile terminal, if the signal strength is found to be weakened, the mobile terminal points to a direction forming a certain angle (for example, 60 degrees) with the tangential direction, and guides the user to move beyond another direction again to find an area with stronger signal strength.

And if the historical signal intensity change trend is a signal intensity weakening trend, the mobile terminal calculates the target position with the strongest signal intensity in the direction which is the same as the moving direction of the historical moving track in the target area according to the signal intensity strengthening trend. As shown in table 3, when the user moves from the position B to the position F, the signal strength of the mobile terminal gradually decreases, B, C, D, E, F may be connected into a curve, and the target position with the strongest signal strength in the target area is indicated in the direction opposite to the moving direction of the historical moving track in the tangential direction of the position F.

And if the historical signal intensity change trend is a stable signal intensity trend, the mobile terminal calculates the target position with the strongest signal intensity in the direction forming a preset included angle with the moving direction of the historical moving track in the target area according to the stable signal intensity trend. As shown in table 5, when the user moves from the B position to the F position, the signal strength of the mobile terminal changes smoothly, and the signal strength is weaker, B, C, D, E, F may be connected to form a curve, and the target position with the strongest signal strength in the target area is indicated in a direction forming a preset included angle (e.g., 90 degrees, 60 degrees) with the tangential direction of the F position.

And 105, the mobile terminal generates signal strength prompt information according to the current position information and the geographical position information of the target position.

In the embodiment of the invention, after the mobile terminal estimates the target position with the strongest signal strength in the target area, the mobile terminal can generate the signal strength prompt information according to the current position information and the geographical position information of the target position. The signal strength prompt message may be a text message, for example, the geographical location of the target location, the orientation of the target location may be displayed on the screen of the mobile terminal.

The signal strength prompt may also be a voice message, for example, the signal strength prompt may be played audibly (e.g., XX meters forward and XX meters left after XX meters forward) when the mobile terminal is in a handset mode or a speaker mode. The signal strength prompt may be a navigation message.

Optionally, the signal strength prompt information may be direction indication information, and the direction indicated by the direction indication information is displayed after excluding the positions of lakes, ditches and the like which cannot be reached by the user, that is, the moving direction can be clearly determined through the direction indication information, so that the position with stronger signal strength is reached.

By implementing the method shown in fig. 1, the mobile terminal can prompt the user to go to a position with stronger signal strength in the running process of the game application, and reduce network delay in the running process of the game application, thereby improving the game experience of the user.

Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a schematic flow chart of another signal strength indication method according to an embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 2 is further optimized based on fig. 1, as shown in fig. 2, the signal strength indication method includes the following steps.

During the running of the game application on the mobile terminal, the mobile terminal detects the signal strength of the mobile terminal 201.

202, when detecting that the signal intensity of the mobile terminal is smaller than the preset intensity threshold, the mobile terminal obtains the current geographic information of the mobile terminal.

And 203, the mobile terminal determines a target area corresponding to the current geographic position information.

And 204, the mobile terminal estimates the target position with the strongest signal strength in the target area.

And 205, the mobile terminal generates signal strength prompt information according to the current position information and the geographical position information of the target position.

206, the mobile terminal displays the signal intensity prompt message in the preset display area of the game interface of the mobile terminal.

In this embodiment of the present invention, the signal strength prompt message may include direction indication information, which indicates the direction in which the signal strength is strongest. The preset display area of the game interface of the mobile terminal may be an area in the game interface that does not affect the game operation of the user, for example, an area that is difficult to be touched by a finger of the user, or an area that is not frequently clicked by the user. For example, referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of a game display interface according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 3, the preset display area is located at the middle upper portion of the game interface, and the signal strength prompt message includes direction indication information (for example, an arrow in fig. 3) and signal strength mark information (for example, "strong" beside the arrow in fig. 3, for marking the direction indicated by the arrow has strong signal strength).

The signal intensity prompt information is displayed in the preset display area of the game interface of the mobile terminal, and the user can be prompted in which direction the signal intensity is stronger, so that the user is guided to move towards the direction indicated by the direction indication information included in the signal intensity prompt information, and the user can conveniently and quickly find the area with stronger signal intensity in the game running process.

And 207, when the signal intensity of the mobile terminal is detected to be greater than or equal to the preset intensity threshold value, the mobile terminal outputs prompt information for stopping moving.

In the embodiment of the invention, after the user moves towards the direction indicated by the direction indication information included in the signal strength prompt information, the mobile terminal can periodically detect the signal strength of the mobile terminal, and when the signal strength of the mobile terminal is detected to be greater than or equal to the preset strength threshold value, the mobile terminal outputs the prompt information for stopping moving so as to prompt the user that the signal strength of the mobile terminal is stronger, so that the network requirement of game application can be met, and the user does not need to move.

The specific implementation of steps 201 to 205 can refer to steps 101 to 105 shown in fig. 1, which is not described herein again.

By implementing the method shown in fig. 2, the mobile terminal can prompt the user to go to a position with stronger signal strength in the running process of the game application, and reduce network delay in the running process of the game application, thereby improving the game experience of the user. The signal intensity prompt information is displayed in the preset display area of the game interface of the mobile terminal, and the user can be prompted in which direction the signal intensity is stronger, so that the user is guided to move towards the direction indicated by the direction indication information included in the signal intensity prompt information, and the user can conveniently and quickly find the area with stronger signal intensity in the game running process.

Referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a schematic flow chart of another signal strength indication method according to an embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 4 is further optimized based on fig. 1, as shown in fig. 4, the signal strength indication method includes the following steps.

During the running of the game application on the mobile terminal, the mobile terminal detects the signal strength of the mobile terminal 401.

402, when detecting that the signal strength of the mobile terminal is smaller than the preset strength threshold, the mobile terminal obtains the current geographic information of the mobile terminal.

And 403, the mobile terminal acquires the moving speed of the mobile terminal.

404, when the moving speed of the mobile terminal is less than the preset speed threshold, the mobile terminal determines a target area corresponding to the current geographic location information.

In the embodiment of the present invention, in an optional embodiment, when the mobile terminal obtains the current geographic location information of the mobile terminal, the mobile terminal may further obtain a moving speed of the mobile terminal, and when the moving speed of the mobile terminal is smaller than a preset speed threshold, the mobile terminal determines a target area corresponding to the current geographic location information. And when the moving speed of the mobile terminal is greater than or equal to the preset speed threshold, ending the process or switching to a low-pixel game picture.

For example, when the vehicle is moving in a car, a high-speed rail, or the like, since the user action is limited, there is no need to perform signal strength prompting, for example, the preset speed threshold of the mobile terminal is 8 km/h, when it is detected that the signal strength of the mobile terminal is less than the preset strength threshold and the mobile terminal acquires that the moving speed of the mobile terminal is 250 km/h, since the moving speed of the mobile terminal is greater than the preset speed threshold, the signal strength prompting is not performed any more. According to the embodiment of the invention, when the mobile terminal is detected to move faster, the signal strength prompt is stopped, so that invalid signal strength prompt is avoided, the data processing amount of the mobile terminal is reduced, and the power consumption of the mobile terminal can be reduced.

The mobile terminal estimates a target location within the target area with the strongest signal strength 405.

406, the mobile terminal generates a signal strength prompt message according to the current position information and the geographical position information of the target position.

The specific implementation of steps 401 to 402 can refer to steps 101 to 102 shown in fig. 1, and the specific implementation of steps 405 to 406 can refer to steps 104 to 105 shown in fig. 1. And will not be described in detail herein.

By implementing the method shown in fig. 4, the mobile terminal can prompt the user to go to a position with stronger signal strength in the running process of the game application, and reduce network delay in the running process of the game application, thereby improving the game experience of the user. The signal intensity prompt can be stopped when the mobile terminal is detected to be fast in moving speed, so that invalid signal intensity prompt is avoided, the data processing amount of the mobile terminal is reduced, and the power consumption of the mobile terminal can be reduced.
