Referring to fig. 4 and fig. 5, fig. 4 discloses a schematic diagram of a part of a structure of a ue 100 according to an embodiment of the present application, and fig. 5 discloses a schematic diagram of a part of a structure of the ue 100 during placement according to an embodiment of the present application. The client terminal apparatus 100 may include a housing 10 and an electrode sheet 20. Specifically, the housing 10 may form a space therein for accommodating the client terminal apparatus main apparatus 101 and the client terminal apparatus access point 102 described above, and may also be used for accommodating other circuits, electronic devices such as a processor, and the like. The electrode sheet 20 may be disposed on an outer surface of the case 10, may be directly placed on a surface (may be referred to as a first placement surface 40) of another object such as a desk, a floor, a roof, a wall, etc., may be mounted on a mounting position on a surface (may be referred to as a first placement surface 40) of another object such as a desk, a floor, a roof, a wall, etc., may be placed by direct contact, may be in a mounting position by providing a fixing means such as a bolt, a screw, a snap structure, etc., and the like, and may be directly contacted with a surface (may be referred to as a first placement surface 40) of another object such as a desk, a floor, a roof, a wall, etc., when the client terminal apparatus 100 is placed on a surface (may be referred to as a first placement surface 40) of another object such as a desk, a floor, a roof, a wall, etc.

In one embodiment, the client terminal device 100 is placed on the first placement surface 40 of the desktop, and the electrode sheet 20 is in direct contact with the first placement surface 40 of the desktop.

In one embodiment, the client terminal apparatus 100 is placed on the ground (which may be referred to as the first placement surface 40), and the electrode sheet 20 is in contact with the ground.

It will be appreciated that the client terminal apparatus 100 may also be fixed to a surface (the first placement surface 40) on another object such as a roof, a wall by fixing means such as a fixing frame, a screw, a bolt, etc., so that the client terminal apparatus 100 is suspended from the roof and the electrode sheet 20 is brought into contact with the surface (the first placement surface 40) of the roof; the client terminal apparatus 100 can be fixed to the wall and the electrode sheet 20 can be brought into contact with the surface (the first placement surface 40) of the wall.

In some scenarios, during use of the client terminal apparatus 100, there may occur a problem that the performance of the client terminal apparatus 100 is degraded for a certain period of time, for example, the performance of an antenna device transmitting a wireless Wi-Fi signal. In the process of performing the post-maintenance on the client terminal device 100, the applicant finds that the direct cause of the performance degradation of the client terminal device 100 in a certain period of time is that the client terminal device 100 is separated from the installation position or the placement position, and a shift and toppling phenomenon occurs, that is, the placement state of the client terminal device changes. After the client terminal device 100 shifts and tilts, the direction and the position of the antenna device for transmitting the wireless Wi-Fi signal are changed and are not at a specific position, so that the performance of the antenna is reduced, even part of the antenna is grounded, the performance is reduced, and the heat dissipation performance is poor due to poor antenna contact. In order to solve the problem that the performance of the client terminal device 100 decreases within a certain period of time, the problem that the performance of the client terminal device 100 decreases within a certain period of time needs to be indirectly solved by solving the problem that the client terminal device 100 is separated from the installation position.

In addition, after the client terminal device 100 is shifted and tilted, the direction of the heat dissipation air flow is changed, so that the client terminal device 100 cannot dissipate heat better, and a problem of temperature rise occurs.

The electrode sheet 20 may contact the first placement surface 40 and form a capacitor. When the client terminal device 100 is displaced or tilted, air is present between the client terminal device 100 and the first placement surface 40, and the dielectric constant of air is different from that of other objects, so that the capacitance value of the capacitor formed by the electrode sheet 20 and the first placement surface 40 changes. And further, the situation of shifting and tilting of the client terminal device 100 is reflected laterally by monitoring the change of the capacitance value between the electrode sheet 20 and the first placement surface 40. Furthermore, the client terminal device 100 can be adjusted according to the change condition of the capacitance value, so that the problem of performance degradation of the client terminal device 100 is reduced.

It may be understood that the state of the client terminal apparatus 100 placed on the first placement surface 40 may be a first placement state, and the state of the client terminal apparatus 100 placed when being shifted or tilted on the first placement surface 40 may be a second placement state. The antenna performance corresponding to the client terminal apparatus 100 in the first placement state is better than the antenna performance corresponding to the second placement state.

The processor 301 is configured to receive and analyze the electrical parameter output by the conversion circuit 202, and generate early warning information of the second placement state of the client terminal device 100 based on the electrical parameter, for example, for the capacitor 201 generated by the electrode pad 20 and the first placement surface 40, the capacitance value of the capacitor 201 determines the formula c=εs/4πkd, where ε is a constant, which is the dielectric constant of the medium between the plates, S is the facing area of the capacitor plates, d is the distance between the capacitor plates, and k is the electrostatic force constant. When the client terminal device 100 is mounted on the first placement surface 40, that is, when the client terminal device 100 is in the first placement state, the capacitance value of the capacitor 201 is fixed, when the client terminal device 100 is shifted and toppled, that is, when the client terminal device 100 is in the second placement state, air exists between the electrode plate 20 and the first placement surface 40, so that d is reduced, S is reduced, the capacitor 201 cannot retain the original capacitance value, and the processor 301 can determine whether the phenomenon of change of the placement state occurs according to the change of the capacitance value, so that early warning information is generated when the client terminal device 100 is in the second placement state.

The alarm module 304 is an audible alarm module, such as a horn, that alarms with sound. The alarm module 304 may also be a light alarm module, such as an LED lamp, which uses light to alarm.

The processor 301 is configured to receive and analyze the electrical parameter output by the conversion circuit 202, and control the alarm module 304 based on the electrical parameter, where the alarm module 304 is configured to emit sound or light to prompt the change condition of the electrode pad 20 and the first placement surface 40.

In one embodiment, the processor 301 and the short message sending module 303 are mounted on the housing 10, for example, the processor 301 and the short message sending module 303 are located in the accommodating space. The processor 301 is configured to receive and analyze the electrical parameter output by the conversion circuit 202, and generate an early warning short message based on the electrical parameter, and the short message sending module 303 is configured to send the early warning short message to prompt the change condition of the placement state of the client terminal device 100.

The processor 301 may be a processor of an external device other than the client terminal apparatus 100, and the processor of the external device may call the electrical parameter converted by the conversion circuit 202 under the control of the program data.

In some embodiments, to avoid the change of the placement state of the client terminal apparatus 100, the user is not yet able to process the correction placement state in time. The rotating device may be disposed on the housing 10 of the client terminal device 100, so that the antenna device is connected and fixed with the rotating device, when the client terminal device 100 is in the second placement state, the antenna device of the client terminal device 100 may be adjusted by the rotating device, so that the antenna device performs an antenna signal optimizing operation, specifically, under the rotation of the rotating device, the orientation and position of the antenna device may be adjusted, so that the antenna performance of the antenna device is adjusted in the second placement state, and the antenna performance is improved.
