Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some, not all, embodiments of the present invention. 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.

Referring to fig. 1, a flowchart of an antenna state control method according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown, where the antenna state control method is applied to a terminal. Fig. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of the terminal. The terminal may comprise at least two relatively movable modules 21, each module 21 being provided with at least one antenna 22. As shown in fig. 1, the antenna state control method mainly includes:

step 101, acquiring relative position information of the at least two modules;

and 102, determining at least one antenna from the first antenna set as a working antenna according to the antenna selection parameter.

The terminal in the embodiment of the present invention includes at least two modules, which can move relatively, for example, the two modules can be overlapped, relatively far away, tiled, relatively folded and other different states by pushing, pulling, flipping, rotating and other ways, so that the relative position between the two modules changes along with the relative movement between the two modules. At least one antenna is arranged on each module, and all the antennas arranged on the modules form a first antenna set. Along with the relative motion between at least two modules, the relative position between the antennas in the first antenna set is also changed, and the signal receiving and transmitting states of the antennas are also changed accordingly.

The terminal acquires relative position information of at least two modules, wherein the relative position information can be information such as relative distance between the at least two modules or relative angle between the at least two modules. Specifically, a common coordinate system may be provided, and the relative position information between at least two modules may be calculated from the coordinate data of at least two modules. In addition, a positioning component or an angle sensor can be arranged on each module to calculate the relative position information of the at least two modules. Other implementation manners capable of calculating the relative position information of at least two modules are applicable to the embodiment, and are not limited.

The terminal obtains the relative position information of at least two modules, selects the working antenna by taking the relative position information as an antenna selection parameter, for example, detects or estimates the mutual interference degree between the antennas in the first antenna set, and takes the antenna with the interference degree capable of meeting the communication requirement as the working antenna.

The terminal determines at least one working antenna from the first antenna set according to the antenna selection parameter. The terminal controls the working antenna to work normally and provides a signal transceiving function for the terminal, and the antenna which is not selected as the working antenna does not work and does not provide the signal transceiving function.

In the antenna control method provided by the embodiment of the present invention, by obtaining the relative position information of at least two modules in the terminal as the antenna selection parameter, at least one antenna can be determined from all antennas arranged on the at least two modules as a working antenna. Therefore, the appropriate antenna can be determined as the working antenna according to the states of the at least two modules in the terminal, the problem that the normal signal receiving and sending functions of the terminal are influenced by mutual interference of the antennas on the at least two modules can be effectively avoided, and the scheme for receiving and sending signals of the antennas of the terminal is optimized.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the antenna selection parameter may only include the relative position information of the module, and further determine the terminal state and/or the relative position interval according to the relative position information, and select the working antenna according to the preset corresponding relationship between the terminal state and the working antenna, and/or the corresponding relationship between the relative position interval and the working antenna.

In an embodiment, the step 102 of determining at least one antenna from the first antenna set as an operating antenna according to the antenna selection parameter may include:

determining the current state of the terminal according to the relative position information of the at least two modules;

and determining the antenna in the target antenna set corresponding to the current state as the working antenna from the third antenna set according to the preset corresponding relation between the terminal state and the third antenna set.

The terminal determines the current state of the terminal, in particular the current relative states of at least two modules of the terminal, according to the acquired relative position information. For example, if the relative positions of the at least two modules are relatively overlapped, it may be determined that the current state of the terminal is a folded state. If the relative positions of the at least two modules are tiled side by side, the current state of the terminal can be determined to be the unfolding state and the like.

All antennas distributed on the terminal are divided into at least two antenna sets, each antenna set corresponds to a terminal state, and the at least two antenna sets form a third antenna set.

When the terminal is in a certain terminal state, the antennas in the antenna set corresponding to the terminal state do not have interference, and all antennas can be used as working antennas. The terminal presets the corresponding relation between the terminal state and the third antenna set, so that after the terminal acquires the current state of the terminal, the terminal determines the antenna set corresponding to the current state from the third antenna set, namely the target antenna set. The antennas in the target antenna set are working antennas in the current state, and the terminal can control all the antennas or part of the antennas in the target antenna set to be in the working state, so as to provide a signal transceiving function for the terminal.

In another specific embodiment, the step 102 of determining at least one antenna from the first antenna set as an operating antenna according to the antenna selection parameter may further include:

determining antennas in a second target antenna set corresponding to the relative position interval where the relative position information is located from a fourth antenna set as the working antennas according to the preset corresponding relation between the relative position interval and the fourth antenna set;

and the relative positions of the at least two modules are in each relative position interval, and the distance between any two antennas in the corresponding fourth antenna set is greater than or equal to a preset threshold value.

The relative position information between at least two modules can be the expansion angle between at least two modules, and because in a certain angle range, the relative position between the modules is relatively close, and the interference degree between the antennas on the modules is also relatively close, the relative position that at least two modules may exist can be divided into at least two relative position intervals, all the relative positions corresponding to each relative position interval are relatively close, and the interference degree between the antennas in the terminal is also relatively close at this moment. Therefore, when the terminal is in a certain relative position interval, the distance between the antennas is greater than or equal to the preset threshold value as the working antenna, and at least one working antenna corresponding to the relative position interval forms a fourth antenna set.

After the terminal acquires the relative position information of the module, the terminal can determine the corresponding relative position interval, and directly takes the fourth antenna set corresponding to the relative position interval as the second target antenna set. The terminal may control some or all of the working antennas in the second target antenna set to be in a working state, so as to perform a signal transceiving function for the terminal.

According to the antenna state control method provided by the embodiment of the invention, the corresponding terminal state or the corresponding position interval can be directly determined according to the relative position information between at least two modules in the terminal, and then the corresponding working antenna set is selected. The terminal does not need to add redundant calculation and numerical value conversion operation, and the quick selection of the working antenna is realized.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 2 to 5, the at least two relatively movable modules may include a first module 211 and a second module 212 connected by a rotating shaft 23, and the relative position information may be: the angle sensor collects the information of the included angle between the first module 211 and the second module 212.

The first module 211 and the second module 212 are connected by a rotating shaft 23, and are relatively folded and relatively unfolded by the rotating shaft 23, so that the terminal is in a folded or unfolded state. An angle sensor can be arranged on the first module 211, an angle sensor can be arranged on the second module 212, and the included angle information of the first module 211 and the second module 212 can be obtained by collecting the angle data collected by the two angle sensors. The current state of the terminal can be determined by the included angle information of the first module 211 and the second module 212.

The first module 211 includes a first end surface 213 and a second end surface 214, the first end surface 213 and the second end surface 214 are disposed opposite to each other, the second module 212 includes a third end surface 215 and a fourth end surface 216, the third end surface 215 and the fourth end surface 216 are disposed opposite to each other, and at least one antenna may be disposed on each end surface.

Further, first module 211 and second module 212 can be square module, and every terminal surface of module is square terminal surface, includes four sidelines on every terminal surface, can all set up at least one antenna on every sideline. Therefore, the first end surface 213 is provided with antennas T1 to T4, the second end surface 214 is provided with antennas T5 to T8, the third end surface 215 is provided with antennas T9 to T12, and the fourth end surface 216 is provided with antennas T13 to T16. With reference to table 1, the process of determining the current state of the terminal according to the relative position information of the first module and the second module, and determining the corresponding target antenna set is as follows:

the angle sensors arranged on the first module and the second module measure the rotation angle between the second end face of the first module and the third end face of the second module, and then the unfolding state of the terminal is judged. The angle sensor samples the rotation angular velocity, and the rotation angle is obtained by integrating the rotation angular velocity with time, that is, Θ ═ θ Vdt, where V is the angular velocity acquired by the angle sensor. Preferably, in order to reduce the measurement error, the first angle sensor and the second angle sensor are respectively placed at corresponding positions of the first module and the second module, so that when the first module and the second module are overlapped, three attitude axes of the two angle sensors are parallel. Therefore, when the first module and the second module move relatively, the first module and the second module calculate the rotation angle by adopting the rotation angular velocity of the same shaft.

The terminal defaults the unfolding state to be a normal state, and the unfolding angle between the first module and the second module is continuously monitored. The angle sensor can be a gyroscope, is low in power consumption and can continuously monitor the unfolding angle.

When the terminal is turned from the closed state to the open state, the second end face may be set to rotate toward the outer end, and the rotation direction is positive, that is, Θ 1 ═ θ V1dt is positive, where V is₁The angular velocity collected by the angle sensor arranged on the first module. The third end faces the outer end in the rotation direction, which is positive, that is, Θ 2 ═ θ V2dt is positive, where V is ═ θ V2dt₂The angular velocity collected by the angle sensor arranged on the second module. The terminal spread angle is denoted as Θ 1+ Θ 2. When the terminal is converted from the unfolding state to the closing state, the angles Θ 1 and Θ 2 are negative, and the current included angle between the first module and the second module of the terminal is recorded as Θ being 180- | Θ 1+ Θ 2 |.

The terminal is in a closed state, the second end face and the third end face are attached together, the rotating directions are the same, and Θ 1 and Θ 2 are the same in size and opposite in direction, and Θ 1+ Θ 2 is 0 °.

And in the terminal unfolding state, the rotating directions of the second end face and the third end face are opposite, and the screen unfolding angle theta is theta 1+ theta 2. And setting a folding screen unfolding angle threshold theta O, judging that the terminal is in an unfolding state only when the theta is larger than or equal to the theta O, and otherwise, judging that the terminal is in a closed state or is in misoperation.

When a user uses the terminal, if the terminal is closed, it is detected that Θ 1 and Θ 2 are both negative, the terminal is considered to have a closing trend, and when 180- | Θ 1+ Θ 2| is smaller than a preset folding screen closing angle Θ O, the terminal is considered to be closed.

With reference to table 1, the process of determining the corresponding working antenna through the relative position interval corresponding to the relative position between the first module and the second module may include:

TABLE 1

the relative position interval between first module and the second module is 90 to 150, and at this moment, the work antenna that interference degree satisfies communication requirement includes: t5, T6, T7, T13, T15 and T16, T8 and T14, T1 and T9, T2 and T12, T3 and T11;

the relative position interval between first module and the second module is 150 to 180, and at this moment, the work antenna that interference degree satisfies communication requirement includes: t5, T6, T7, T13, T15 and T16, T8 and T14, T1 and T9, T2 and T12, T3 and T11, T4 and T10;

the relative position interval between first module and the second module is 180 to 210, and at this moment, the work antenna that interference degree satisfies communication requirement includes: t5, T6, T7, T13, T15 and T16, T8 and T14, T1 and T9, T2 and T12, T3 and T11, T4 and T10;

the relative position interval between first module and the second module is 210 to 270, and at this moment, the work antenna that interference degree satisfies communication requirement includes: t1 and T9, T2 and T12, T3 and T11, T4 and T10;

relative position interval between first module and the second module is 270 to 360, and at this moment, the work antenna that interference degree satisfies communication requirement includes: t1 and T9, T2 and T12, T3 and T11, T4 and T10.

In addition, with reference to table 2, the current state of the terminal is determined according to the relative position information between the first module and the second module, and the process of determining the corresponding working antenna may include:

TABLE 2

The current state of the terminal is closed, and at this time, the working antenna with the interference degree meeting the communication requirement comprises: t5, T6, T7, T13, T15 and T16, T8 and T14;

the current state of the terminal is that the first half section is unfolded, and at this moment, the working antenna with the interference degree meeting the communication requirement comprises: t5, T6, T7, T13, T15 and T16, T8 and T14;

the current state of the terminal is the latter half, and at this moment, the working antenna with the interference degree meeting the communication requirement comprises: t5, T6, T7, T13, T15 and T16, T8 and T14, T1 and T9, T2 and T12, T3 and T11;

the current state of the terminal is unfolding, and at this time, the working antenna with the interference degree meeting the communication requirement comprises: t5, T6, T7, T13, T15 and T16, T8 and T14, T1 and T9, T2 and T12, T3 and T11, T4 and T10;

the current state of the terminal is that the reverse first half section is unfolded, and at the moment, the working antenna with the interference degree meeting the communication requirement comprises: t5, T6, T7, T13, T15 and T16, T8 and T14, T1 and T9, T2 and T12, T3 and T11, T4 and T10;

the current state of the terminal is the backward half-way expansion, and at this moment, the working antenna with the interference degree meeting the communication requirement comprises: t1 and T9, T2 and T12, T3 and T11, T4 and T10;

the current state of the terminal is reverse expansion, and at this time, the working antenna with the interference degree meeting the communication requirement comprises: t1 and T9, T2 and T12, T3 and T11, T4 and T10.

By combining the above situations, the antennas with consistent working states on the terminal can be classified into one antenna set, so that all the antennas can be divided into four antenna sets, which are: a first set of antennas comprising T5, T6, T7, T13, T15, and T16; a second set of antennas comprising T1 and T9, T2 and T12, T3 and T11; a third set of antennas comprising T4 and T10; and a fourth set of antennas comprising T8 and T14, the four sets of antennas comprising a third set of antennas.

Furthermore, it is contemplated that the clearance area is larger at the bottom and top edges of the control panel, while the clearance area is relatively smaller at the sides during the actual layout process. Depending on the characteristics of the antenna itself, the frequency of the signal radiated by the antenna is inversely proportional to the wavelength, and the higher the frequency of the signal radiated by the antenna, the smaller the clearance area required for the antenna. Conversely, the lower the frequency at which the antenna radiates the signal, the greater the headroom required for the antenna.

Therefore, when it is necessary to simultaneously arrange antennas for radiating signals of a plurality of frequencies, an antenna for radiating a high-frequency signal or a low-frequency signal may be disposed on the top and/or bottom border of the terminal, and an antenna for radiating a low-frequency signal may be disposed on the side border of the terminal. For example, the first group of antennas may be used to lay out 2G/3G/4G or 5G antennas, and the second to fourth groups of antennas have poor environment and have a large relationship with the spreading angle of the terminal, are prone to mutual interference, and are suitable for laying out 5G antennas or antenna arrays, or other antennas with higher radiation frequency.

According to the unfolding angle measured by the angle sensor, the current state of the terminal is obtained in real time, and the antenna in the target antenna set corresponding to the current state is determined to be used as the working antenna, so that mutual interference among the antennas can be effectively avoided, and the signal receiving and transmitting efficiency of the terminal antenna is improved.

The angle threshold set above is only used to generally describe the change situation of the working state of the antenna when the antenna changes along with the terminal deployment angle, and is not taken as the basis for determining the standard working antenna, and may be set according to the actual situations of the terminal and the antenna, which is not limited herein.

Considering that the antenna can only roughly select the probably suitable working antenna according to the relative position interval or the terminal state, and the accuracy is relatively low, therefore, a scheme for accurately selecting the working antenna according to the actual distance between the antennas can be additionally arranged. Specifically, the antenna selection parameter may further include location information of the antenna on the module;

the step 102 of determining at least one antenna from the first antenna set as a working antenna according to the antenna selection parameter may further include:

determining distance information of every two antennas in the first antenna set according to the relative position information of the at least two modules and the position information of the antennas on the modules;

and determining at least one antenna as a working antenna according to the distance information, wherein the distance between any two antennas in a second antenna set formed by the working antennas is greater than or equal to a preset threshold value.

In this embodiment, the antenna selection parameters for the terminal to determine the working antenna include the relative position information of at least two modules and the position information of the antenna on the modules. Through the phase position information and the position information of the antennas on the module, the distance information between every two antennas in the first antenna set can be calculated more accurately. The terminal may use a distance critical value where interference exists between the antennas as a preset threshold, and determine at least one working antenna from the first antenna set according to the preset threshold, where the at least one working antenna may form a second antenna set. In the second antenna set, the distance between any two antennas is greater than or equal to a preset threshold value, so that no mutual interference exists between the working antennas. The terminal may control all the working antennas in the second antenna set to be in the working state, or may determine that only some working antennas in the second antenna set are in the working state, which is not limited herein.

In the embodiment, the mutual interference between the antennas is accurately judged through the actual distance between the antennas, the antennas with the interference degree meeting the communication requirement are used as the working antennas, and the accuracy of selecting the working antennas is greatly improved.

In addition, the module of the terminal can be a control panel, and the terminal comprises a first control panel and a second control panel. In the folding screen terminal, a first display screen can be arranged on a first end face of a first control panel, a second display screen is arranged on a second end face, a third display screen is arranged on a third end face, and a back plate can be arranged on a fourth end face. Therefore, a user can attach the second display screen and the third display screen of the terminal, the first display screen is used as a main display screen, the first display screen can also be attached to the back plate, the second display screen or the third display screen is used, the first control panel and the second control panel can also be unfolded, and the second display screen and the third display screen are connected into a large screen for use. The antenna can be arranged on a sideline of the display screen or the back plate arranged on the end face, so that a clearance area required by the antenna is ensured, and the screen occupation ratio of the terminal is not influenced.

In addition, as shown in fig. 5, the antenna may be connected to the processor CPU of the terminal sequentially through the switch, the radio frequency filter, the amplification circuit PA, and the radio frequency transceiver. Therefore, if the antenna needs to be controlled to work as a working antenna, the switch of the working antenna needs to be closed, and the radio frequency filter, the amplifying circuit and the radio frequency transceiver are controlled to be in a normal working state. The undetermined antenna can be controlled to be closed by controlling the switch, and/or the radio frequency filter, the amplifying circuit, the radio frequency transceiver and the like are controlled to be in an abnormal working state, so that the antenna can be prevented from receiving and transmitting signals, and meanwhile, the antenna can be prevented from causing interference to the working antenna.
