The antenna slot 2 of the present embodiment is reserved with a deformation space of the antenna 1, which can be understood that the shape of the antenna slot 2 can change the antenna 1 in the antenna slot between a first state and a second state, and the hatched portion in the drawing indicates the antenna 1, as shown in fig. 1, when the antenna 1 is in a first state, after the signal strength of the external antenna 1 changes, the magnetic field generating device 3 is turned on to generate a guiding magnetic field, so that the antenna 1 is changed from the first state in fig. 1 to the second state in fig. 2.
The magnetic field generating device 3 of the present embodiment may be any conventional device that generates a guiding magnetic field, for example, a conventional coil that can generate a magnetic field, and the coil generates the guiding magnetic field after being energized, so that the antenna 1 is changed between the first and second configurations under the guidance of the magnetic field generating device 3. The magnetic field generating device 3 of the present embodiment is therefore generally located near the antenna slot 2, and guides the magnetic field to cover all the accommodation spaces in the antenna slot 2.

Specifically, when the signal detection device detects that the intensity value of an external wireless signal is lower than a certain preset value, the control device directly opens the electric connection of the magnetic field generation device 3, and the magnetic field generation device 3 generates a guiding magnetic field, so that the antenna 1 is converted from a first form to a second form; when the intensity value of the external wireless signal is higher than a certain preset value, if the antenna 1 needs to be restored from the second state to the first state, the method can be realized by another magnetic field generating device.
Specifically, the antenna 1 of the present embodiment is in a liquid or powder form, and the antenna 1 of the present embodiment may be made of a liquid metal added with a magnetic material; the liquid metal comprises one or more of sodium-potassium alloy, gallium-based alloy and indium-based alloy; the magnetic material comprises one or more of an alloy, ferrite and intermetallic compound.
