Detailed Description

Reference will now be made in detail to the exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, like numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present invention. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with certain aspects of the invention, as detailed in the appended claims.

FIG. 1A is a flow diagram illustrating a method of protecting a user device in accordance with an exemplary embodiment, and FIG. 1B is a scene diagram illustrating a method of protecting a user device in accordance with an exemplary embodiment; the method for protecting the user equipment can be applied to the user equipment, as shown in fig. 1A, the method for protecting the user equipment includes the following steps 101-:

in step 101, upon determining that the user equipment overheating is caused by too high radio link configuration, it is determined whether to send a request message to the base station to adjust the radio link configuration based on the user preference.

In an embodiment, whether the user equipment is overheated may be determined by whether the temperature of the user equipment exceeds a preset temperature threshold for more than a certain time, for example, the user equipment may be determined to be overheated when the temperature of the user equipment exceeds 85 degrees for 5 minutes. In an embodiment, the temperature of the user equipment may be a battery surface temperature of the user equipment, or a Central Processing Unit (CPU) surface temperature, or a front screen or a rear case of the user equipment.

In an embodiment, the preset temperature threshold is set statically, that is, the preset temperature threshold is a static value, for example, the preset temperature threshold is always 85 degrees; in an embodiment, the preset temperature threshold is set in a semi-static manner, that is, the preset temperature threshold is a semi-static value, and if the preset temperature threshold can be changed according to a preset rule, the change frequency is low, for example, the preset temperature threshold within one hour of accessing the network is 75 degrees, the preset temperature threshold more than two hours of accessing the network is 75 degrees, 80 degrees, and the like, and the change of the semi-static value can be changed according to the preset rule by referring to other parameters; in an embodiment, the preset temperature threshold is set dynamically, that is, the preset temperature threshold is a dynamic value and is a numerical value that changes frequently, for example, the preset temperature threshold may change continuously with changes of the data amount and the data type of the service data to be transmitted.

In an embodiment, the preset temperature threshold may be set by the base station, and in a further embodiment, the preset temperature threshold may be set by the user equipment.

In an embodiment, the user preference has the highest priority, i.e. whether to perform a reduction of the radio link configuration when the user equipment is overheated depends largely on the user's choice.

In one embodiment, determining whether to send the request message to the base station based on the user preference may be embodied in two ways, see the embodiment shown in fig. 2A, which will not be described in detail herein.

In step 102, upon determining to transmit a request message to adjust a radio link configuration to a base station based on user preferences, the request message to adjust the radio link configuration is transmitted to the base station.

In one embodiment, the request message for adjusting the radio link configuration sent to the base station may carry the radio link configuration to be adjusted, e.g., the data transmission rate is adjusted to 1.6 GB/s.

In step 103, it is monitored whether the base station returns a response message based on the request message within a preset time period.

In an embodiment, the preset time period may be determined by a preset timer which counts for the preset time period, the preset timer is started after the request message is sent, and whether the response message is received is monitored before the preset timer is not timed out.

In an embodiment, the preset timer may be set by the base station and indicate the ue.

In step 104, when the response message is monitored and the response message identifier adjusts the radio link configuration, the service data is transmitted based on the radio link configuration information carried in the response message.

In an embodiment, when the ue receives a response message identifying that the radio link configuration information is adjusted, the ue may adjust the parameter and receive or upload data based on the adjusted parameter.

In an exemplary scenario, as shown in fig. 1B, in the scenario shown in fig. 1B, a base station 10, a user equipment (e.g., a smart phone, a tablet computer, etc.) 20 is included, wherein the user equipment 20 may determine whether to send a request message for adjusting the radio link configuration to the base station based on user preferences when it is detected that the user equipment is overheated due to too high radio link configuration, for example, if the user is currently downloading a relatively important file, the user may choose not to decrease the radio link configuration, if the user is currently only visiting some entertainment websites, the user may choose to decrease the radio link configuration, when the user chooses to decrease the radio link configuration, the request message may be sent to the base station 10, if the base station 10 agrees to decrease the radio link configuration, the user equipment may be implemented to decrease the temperature of the user equipment by a method of rapidly decreasing the radio link configuration, the problem that the related art can cause service data transmission interruption is solved.

In this embodiment, through the steps 101 to 104, when the user equipment is overheated, the temperature of the user equipment can be reduced by a method of quickly reducing the configuration of the wireless link based on the preference of the user, so as to solve the problem that the related art may cause interruption of service data transmission, and greatly improve the user experience.

In an embodiment, the method for protecting the user equipment further may further include:

determining data information of service data to be transmitted;

the request message is generated based on the radio link configuration to be adjusted to.

receiving a threshold indication message of a base station;

and analyzing the threshold indication message to obtain a preset temperature threshold.

and reporting the equipment temperature to the base station according to a preset reporting mode, wherein the equipment temperature is used for setting a preset temperature threshold value by the base station.

when the response message is not monitored in a preset time period, identifying that the base station does not allow the adjustment of the wireless link configuration; or,

when the response message is listened to and the response message identifies that the radio link configuration is not to be adjusted, identifying that the base station does not allow the radio link configuration to be adjusted.

receiving feedback information input by a user based on the prompt information;

it is determined whether to transmit a request message for adjusting a radio link configuration to the base station based on the feedback information.

acquiring a preset setting item, wherein the preset setting item is used for identifying whether to send a request message to a base station when user equipment is overheated;

it is determined whether to transmit a request message for adjusting a radio link configuration to a base station based on a value of a preset setting item, the value of the preset setting item being set in advance by a user.

Please refer to the following embodiments for details of how to protect the ue.

The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure are described below with specific embodiments.

Fig. 2A is a flowchart illustrating a further method of protecting a user equipment according to an example embodiment, fig. 2B is a flowchart illustrating a method of generating a request message in the embodiment illustrated in fig. 2A, and fig. 2C is a flowchart illustrating a method of generating a request message in the embodiment illustrated in fig. 2A; the present embodiment utilizes the above method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure to exemplarily explain how to prevent the user equipment from overheating, as shown in fig. 2A, including the following steps:

in step 201, upon determining that the user equipment overheating is caused by too high radio link configuration, it is determined whether to send a request message to the base station to adjust the radio link configuration based on the user preference.

In an embodiment, determining whether to send the request message to the base station based on the user preference may be embodied as the following two implementations.

The first method is as follows: determining whether to send a request message to a base station to adjust a radio link configuration based on user preferences, comprising: generating prompt information, wherein the prompt information is used for prompting a user whether to reduce the wireless link configuration; receiving feedback information input by a user based on the prompt information; it is determined whether to transmit a request message for adjusting a radio link configuration to the base station based on the feedback information.

In one embodiment, the prompt may be a text prompt, such as displaying "the device is too hot" in the notification bar, please determine whether to reduce the device temperature by reducing the wireless link configuration, if yes, please click the [ yes ] button, if no, please click the [ cancel ] button; in yet another embodiment, the prompt may be a voice prompt, such as playing "the device is too hot, please determine whether to lower the device temperature by lowering the wireless link configuration" the voice message, if the user clicks the [ yes ] button, the user device may correspond to receiving feedback information identifying the lowering of the wireless link configuration, if the user clicks the [ cancel ] button, the user device may correspond to receiving feedback information identifying the refusing to lower the wireless link configuration.

The second method comprises the following steps: determining whether to send a request message to a base station to adjust a radio link configuration based on user preferences, comprising: acquiring a preset setting item, wherein the preset setting item is used for identifying whether to send a request message to a base station when user equipment is overheated; it is determined whether to transmit a request message for adjusting a radio link configuration to a base station based on a value of a preset setting item, the value of the preset setting item being set in advance by a user.

In an embodiment, the preset setting item may be a system setting item or an application management setting item, and a general user may set and store the preset setting item in a setting interface of the user equipment.

In step 202, upon determining to transmit a request message to adjust a radio link configuration to a base station based on user preferences, a request message to adjust the radio link configuration is generated.

In one embodiment, the request message for adjusting the radio link configuration may be generated by the method shown in fig. 2B, as shown in fig. 2B, including the following steps:

in step 211, data information of the service data to be transmitted is determined.

In an embodiment, the data information of the service data to be transmitted may include, but is not limited to, the following information: the data type of the service data to be transmitted, the service quality of the service data to be transmitted, the data buffer amount of the service data to be transmitted, and the like.

In step 212, the radio link configuration to be adjusted is determined based on the data information of the transmission traffic data.

In an embodiment, a more suitable radio link configuration may be determined according to the data information of the service data to be transmitted, for example, if the current data transmission rate is 6.4GB/s, but the data amount of the service data to be transmitted is relatively small and the service quality is not very high, the data transmission rate may be selected to be adjusted to 1.6 GB/s.

In step 213, a request message is generated based on the radio link configuration to be adjusted to.

In an embodiment, the radio link configuration to be adjusted may be added to the request message, and the request message is generated, so that the base station may adjust the radio link configuration of the user equipment according to the radio link configuration to be adjusted in the request message.

In an embodiment, the request message for adjusting the radio link configuration may also be generated by the method shown in fig. 2C, as shown in fig. 2C, including the following steps:

in step 221, the current device temperature and a preset temperature threshold are determined.

In one embodiment, the preset temperature threshold may be a static value, a semi-static value, or a dynamic value.

In one embodiment, the current device temperature may be measured by a temperature sensor.

In step 222, the radio link configuration to be adjusted to is determined based on the current device temperature, the preset temperature threshold and the current radio link configuration.

In an embodiment, the device temperature value required to be decreased may be determined based on a difference between the current device temperature and a preset temperature threshold, the adjustment amount of the radio link configuration may be determined based on the device temperature value required to be decreased, and the radio link configuration to be adjusted may be determined based on the current radio link configuration and the adjustment amount of the radio link configuration. For example, the current device temperature is 90 degrees, the preset temperature threshold is 85 degrees, it is determined that the device needs to be decreased by at least 5 degrees, the user equipment may have a temperature-configuration mapping table built therein, where a mapping relationship between the temperature and the radio link configuration is stored, and further, an adjustment amount of the radio link configuration may be determined according to the mapping relationship, for example, if the device needs to be decreased by 5 degrees, the radio link configuration needs to be decreased 1/2, and so on.

In an embodiment, the mapping relationship between the temperature and the radio link may be obtained by the base station according to a large amount of network statistics data and indicate the user equipment.

In step 223, a request message is generated based on the radio link configuration to be adjusted to.

In step 203, a request message for adjusting the radio link configuration is sent to the base station.

In step 204, monitoring whether the base station returns a response message based on the request message within a preset time period, and executing step 205, step 206 and step 207.

In step 205, when the response message is monitored and the response message identifies to adjust the radio link configuration, the service data is transmitted based on the radio link configuration information carried in the response message.

In one embodiment, the steps 204-206 can be described in the embodiment of FIG. 1A with reference to steps 103-105, which will not be described in detail herein.

In step 206, when the response message is not monitored within the preset time period, the base station is identified not to allow the adjustment of the radio link configuration.

In step 207, when the response message is listened to and the response message identifies that the radio link configuration is not to be adjusted, it is identified that the base station does not allow the radio link configuration to be adjusted.

In an embodiment, the preset temperature threshold adjusted by the base station may also be obtained by parsing in the response message, and whether the user equipment is overheated is continuously detected based on the adjusted preset temperature threshold, and step 201 is executed when the user equipment is overheated.

In this embodiment, through the above steps 201 to 207, when the user equipment detects that the equipment is overheated and the equipment overheating is caused by too high wireless link configuration, the temperature of the user equipment can be reduced by quickly reducing the wireless link configuration, so as to solve the problem that the service data transmission may be interrupted in the related art, and greatly improve the user experience.

in step 301, a request message for adjusting a radio link configuration sent by a user equipment is received.

In step 302, upon determining that the radio link configuration needs to be adjusted based on the request message, a first response message is generated.

In an embodiment, the first response message carries radio link configuration information of the ue to be tuned.

In an embodiment, the to-be-adjusted radio link configuration information of the ue carried in the first response message may be the to-be-adjusted radio link configuration carried in the request message by the ue, that is, the base station may directly adopt the radio link configuration carried in the request message by the ue; in an embodiment, the radio link configuration information to be adjusted of the ue, which is carried in the first response message, may also be the radio link configuration information to be adjusted, which is determined by the base station based on the current device temperature of the ue and a preset temperature threshold.

In step 303, a first response message is sent.

In an exemplary scenario, as shown in fig. 1B, in the scenario shown in fig. 1B, the base station 10 includes a user equipment (e.g., a smart phone, a tablet computer, etc.) 20, where after receiving a request message for adjusting a radio link configuration sent by the user equipment 20, the base station 10 may send a response message to the user equipment 20 when agreeing to reduce the radio link configuration, thereby helping the user equipment 20 to reduce a temperature of the user equipment by a method for quickly reducing the radio link configuration, and solving a problem that a related technology may cause interruption of service data transmission.

In this embodiment, through the steps 301 to 303, the first response message can be sent to the user equipment when the base station agrees to reduce the radio link configuration, so as to help the user equipment reduce the temperature of the user equipment by a method for quickly reducing the radio link configuration, solve the problem that the service data transmission may be interrupted in the related art, and greatly improve the user experience.

In step 402, when it is determined that the radio link configuration needs to be adjusted based on the request message, a first response message is generated, where the first response message carries radio link configuration information to be adjusted of the user equipment.

In an embodiment, when determining that the radio link configuration needs to be adjusted based on the request message, the radio link configuration information to be adjusted of the user equipment may be first determined, and then the radio link configuration information to be adjusted may be added to the first response message.

In an embodiment, the radio link configuration information to be adjusted obtained by parsing from the request message may be determined as the radio link configuration information to be adjusted to be added to the first response message; in an embodiment, the base station may determine, according to the service data to be transmitted of the user equipment, that is, data information of the downlink service data, whether using the radio link configuration to be adjusted carried in the request message may cause a problem of a large data delay, and if it is determined that the data delay may not be caused to be large, the base station may directly use the radio link configuration information to be adjusted carried in the request message by the user equipment.

In yet another embodiment, the current device temperature of the ue and the preset temperature threshold may be parsed from the request message, and the radio link configuration information to be adjusted to may be determined based on the current device temperature of the ue and the preset temperature threshold.

In step 403, a first response message is sent.

In step 404, upon determining that the radio link configuration does not need to be adjusted based on the request message, a second response message is generated.

In an embodiment, the second response message carries indication information for rejecting to adjust the radio link configuration.

In another embodiment, the second response message further carries a preset temperature threshold to be updated, the preset temperature threshold to be updated may be higher than the current preset temperature threshold, and the preset temperature threshold to be updated is sent to the user equipment, so that the user equipment may continue to detect whether the user equipment is overheated based on the preset temperature threshold to be updated.

In this embodiment, through the above steps 401 to 404, sending the second response message to the ue when the base station does not agree to reduce the radio link configuration, and by adjusting the value of the preset temperature, the user continues to detect whether the ue is overheated based on the new preset temperature threshold, and requests to reduce the radio link configuration again when detecting that the ue is overheated, so as to prevent the ue from interrupting service data transmission due to overheating.

FIG. 5 is a flow chart illustrating yet another method of securing user equipment in accordance with an exemplary embodiment; in this embodiment, by using the above method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, how the base station determines whether it needs to reduce the radio link configuration is exemplarily described, as shown in fig. 5, the method includes the following steps:

in step 501, a request message sent by a user equipment for adjusting a radio link configuration is received.

In step 502, when it is determined that the radio link configuration needs to be adjusted based on the request message, a first response message is generated, where the first response message carries radio link configuration information to be adjusted of the user equipment.

In step 503, a first response message is sent.

In step 504, the response message is denied to the user equipment when it is determined that the radio link configuration does not need to be adjusted based on the request message.

In this embodiment, through the above steps 501 to 504, it may be implemented that the base station refuses to send the response message to the user equipment when the base station does not agree to reduce the radio link configuration, for example, if the base station considers that overheating of the user equipment caused by the current radio link configuration does not affect further use of the user equipment, the base station refuses to send the response message, so that the user equipment continues to use the current radio link configuration for data reception and transmission, and the transmission rate of the service data is increased.
