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 following exemplary described embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of devices consistent with certain aspects of the present disclosure as recited in the claims below.
In order to solve the above technical problem, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for adjusting an SAR value, which is applied to an electronic device including an antenna array, for example, a smart phone, a tablet computer, and the like, and fig. 1 is a flowchart illustrating a method for adjusting an SAR value according to an exemplary embodiment.
Referring to fig. 1, a method for adjusting an SAR value includes steps 11 to 13:
in step 11, the antenna array of the electronic device is controlled to transmit a pulse sequence to a plurality of designated directions, and an echo sequence corresponding to the pulse sequence is acquired.
In this embodiment, the electronic device is provided with an antenna array, and the antenna array may transmit and receive data according to a preset working frequency band. Taking the millimeter wave antenna array as an example, the operating frequency band may include at least one of the following: FR1 (frequency range is 450 MHz-6 GHz) and FR2 (frequency range is 24 GHz-52 GHz). Considering that the frequency of the millimeter wave can reach 300GHz, that is, the wavelength is 1 to 10 millimeters, a technician can select a corresponding antenna array and frequency band according to a specific scenario, and the corresponding scheme falls within the protection scope of the present disclosure.
Considering that the wavelength of the millimeter wave is particularly short, the antenna array may be arranged at the left (or right) and top of the front of the electronic device, i.e. the antenna array comprises two polarization directions; the antenna array can search for new signals and identify old signals through horizontal scanning and vertical scanning, and can be switched rapidly, so that the antenna array can cover the whole space, and the purpose of receiving and transmitting data is achieved.
In this embodiment, the antenna array in the electronic device is set in a ranging state in addition to a data transceiving state. The ranging state and the working state can be mutually converted according to requirements.
In an example, the antenna array has a duty cycle; each duty cycle may continue to be divided into a first time period and a second time period; the antenna array works in a transceiving state in the first time period, namely is used for transceiving data required by the electronic equipment; and in the second time period, the antenna array works in a ranging state, namely the antenna array is used for transmitting the echo sequences corresponding to the pulse sequences and receiving the echo sequences. The respective durations of the first time period and the second time period can be set according to an actual scene, and if the value range of the ratio value of the first time period to the second time period is 1:1 to 10:1, which is not limited herein.
It should be noted that the above-mentioned transmission pulse sequence may include at least one pulse, the number of pulses may be set according to a specific scenario, for example, 1 to 10, and each pulse may include a preset characteristic value. Wherein the characteristic value comprises at least one of: the content of the pulse, the duty cycle of the pulse and the intensity of the pulse. Taking the example that the characteristic values are pulse-to-pulse contents, each pulse may include different contents, such as the 1 st pulse including the number 1, the 2 nd pulse including the number 2, \8230, the nth pulse including the number n, which facilitates subsequent alignment of the echo sequence and the pulse sequence by the characteristic values (e.g., numbers 1-n).
In another example, the antenna array may operate in a transceiving state, and a period of a ranging state may be added after a predetermined number (e.g., 5-10) of transceiving state periods. Therefore, the time occupied by the test state can be reduced in the example, and the transceiving efficiency of the antenna array is ensured; and, a ranging function may be added to achieve the effect of detecting the target object.
In yet another example, the electronic device may include other sensors, such as pressure sensors, gyroscopes, velocity sensors, etc., which may detect a change in the state of motion of the electronic device, such as from stationary to moving. After the electronic equipment determines that the electronic equipment starts to move or the movement state is changed according to the detection data of the sensor, the electronic equipment controls the antenna array to be switched to the ranging state, because the electronic equipment is usually in the used state when in the movement state. Therefore, in the example, the distance measurement is performed according to the motion state of the electronic device, so that the time occupied by the test state can be reduced, and the transceiving efficiency of the antenna array is ensured under the condition of ensuring the distance measurement function.
In this embodiment, a beam direction sequence corresponding to the antenna array may be pre-stored in the electronic device. The beam direction sequence includes a plurality of beam directions, any two of which are directed differently. For example, the antenna array may transmit pulses into a 180 degree range of the electronic device facing away (relative to the other side of the display screen of the electronic device), assuming that the beam direction sequence includes 6 beam directions, when the designated direction of the beam direction sequence is {0, 30, 60, 90, 120, 150, 180} degrees. Meanwhile, the electronic device may pre-store a corresponding relationship between the beam identification code (beam id) and the beam direction, and the beam direction of the antenna array changes after the beam identification code of the antenna array changes. Because the antenna array includes multiple antennas, the beam identification code may be determined in the beam direction, and then the beam direction of the antenna array may be adjusted to the above-mentioned designated direction by selecting some or all of the multiple antennas to work according to the beam identification code.
In this embodiment, when determining that the antenna array is switched to the ranging state, the electronic device may control a beam direction of the antenna array to face a specific direction, for example, a processor in the electronic device may send a beam direction by using an antenna array controller (such as a data processing chip, a single chip microcomputer, or the like), and at this time, the antenna array may determine an antenna that needs to operate. The pulse sequence is transmitted in the antenna array one designated direction at a time. When the pulse encounters a target object, an echo signal is formed, and the effect is shown in fig. 2. Referring to fig. 2, the antenna array on the electronic device shown in fig. 2 transmits a signal in a designated direction, and an echo signal is formed after the signal meets a target object (i.e., a user's hand). The electronic device can simultaneously control one receiving channel to acquire the echo sequence corresponding to the transmitting pulse sequence. After the pulse sequence is transmitted in one designated direction, the pulse sequence is transmitted in another designated direction, and so on until the pulse sequence is transmitted in a plurality of designated directions. Finally, the electronic device may acquire an echo sequence corresponding to the pulse sequence in each of the specified directions.
It should be noted that, when the antenna array transmits each pulse in the pulse sequence toward a specific direction, ideally, each pulse in the echo sequence corresponds to the sequence of each pulse in the pulse sequence one by one; in practice, the pulses in the echo train may be misaligned, for example, by receiving the 2 nd pulse later than the 3 rd pulse, in consideration of jitter or motion of the electronic device.
In step 12, a target distance between the antenna array and a target object is obtained according to the echo sequence and the pulse sequence.
In this embodiment, the electronic device may obtain the target distance between the antenna array and the target object according to the echo sequence and the pulse sequence, including:
referring to fig. 3, in step 31, the electronics may obtain a characteristic value for each pulse in both the echo sequence and the pulse sequence, such as the number 1-n each pulse contains.
In step 32, the electronics can align the echo sequence and the pulse sequence based on the feature values. The electronic device can acquire the pulses in the echo sequence matched with the eigenvalues of the pulses in the pulse sequence, and then adjust the sequence of the pulses in the echo sequence according to the transmitting sequence of the pulses in the pulse sequence to obtain the aligned echo sequence and pulse sequence.
For example, the electronic device may determine that the characteristic values in the pulse sequence are sequentially a number 1, a number 2, a number 3, a number 4, and a number 5, and may determine that the characteristic values in the pulse sequence are sequentially a number 1, a number 3, a number 2, a number 4, and a number 5. And adjusting the pulses in the echo sequence in the sequence of the pulses so that the characteristic values in the echo sequence correspond to the characteristic values in the pulse sequence one to one.
In step 33, the electronics can acquire the time difference of the echo sequence and the pulse sequence. For example, the electronic device may sequentially obtain the time difference between each pair of pulses in the echo sequence and the pulse sequence, and then take the average of the time differences of all the pulses as the time difference. For another example, the electronic device may obtain time differences of odd-numbered, even-numbered, or designated bit pulse pairs in the echo sequence and the pulse sequence, and then use an average value of the time differences as the time difference value, which may also be in the scheme of the present disclosure. For another example, the electronic device may obtain a time difference between the echo sequence and the 1 st pair of pulse pairs in the pulse sequence, and use the time difference as the time difference value, which may also be the scheme of the present disclosure.
In step 34, the electronic device may calculate a distance between the antenna array and the target object according to the time difference and the speed of light. Since the speed of the pulse transmitted by the antenna array is the speed of light, the electronic device can calculate the distance between the antenna array and the target object by using the time difference and the speed of light, i.e., d = c × T _ delay/2, where c is the speed of light and T _ delay represents the time taken by the pulse to and fro.
In step 35, the electronic device may determine a target distance between the antenna array and a target object according to the distance. In an example, since the electronic device may control the antenna array to transmit the pulse sequence to a plurality of designated directions, the distances between the plurality of antenna arrays and the target object may be obtained in step 34, that is, each distance in the plurality of distances corresponds to one of the plurality of designated directions. At this time, the electronic device may acquire a minimum distance of the plurality of distances and take the minimum distance as a target distance between the antenna array and the target object.
In another example, the electronic device may calculate a 1 st distance between the antenna array and the target object when the antenna array transmits the pulse sequence toward the 2 nd specified direction; when the antenna array transmits the pulse sequence towards the 3 rd specified direction, the 2 nd distance between the antenna array and the target object is calculated, and so on. In this way, when the first preset number (e.g., 1 to 5) of distances are continuously present and are less than or equal to the preset distance threshold (e.g., 5mm to 15 mm), the electronic device may use the minimum distance of the first preset number of distances as the target distance between the antenna array and the target object. After determining the target distance, the electronic device may simultaneously control the antenna array to stop transmitting the pulse sequence. Thus, in this example, the target distance can be obtained, the number of pulses transmitted by the antenna array can be reduced, and the time for ranging is reduced.
In step 13, the SAR value of the electronic device is adjusted according to the target distance.
In this embodiment, the electronic device may adjust the SAR value of the electronic device according to the target distance. The electronic equipment is internally provided with a corresponding relation between the SAR and the radiation function, and the radiation power corresponding to the SAR value can be searched from the corresponding relation.
The scheme for adjusting the SAR value is described by taking as an example that the target distance is provided with 2 distance thresholds, namely a first distance threshold (such as 5 mm) and a second distance threshold (such as 15 mm):
when the target distance is less than or equal to the first distance threshold, adjusting the radiation power of the antenna array to a first radiation power (e.g., by 20dB, which is adjustable) to reduce the SAR value of the electronic device; when the target distance is greater than the first distance threshold and not greater than the second distance threshold, adjusting the radiation power of the antenna array to a second radiation power (e.g., by 10dB, which is adjustable) to reduce the SAR value of the electronic device; when the target distance is larger than a first distance threshold value, maintaining the radiation power of the antenna array so as to maintain the SAR value of the electronic equipment.
It should be noted that, in practical applications, the distance threshold of the target distance may be set according to a specific scenario, for example, 1 to 5, so as to more accurately adjust the radiation function of the antenna array, and achieve the effect of accurately controlling the radiation function and the SAR value.
The scheme provided by the embodiment of the disclosure can control an antenna array of an electronic device to transmit a pulse sequence to a plurality of specified directions and acquire an echo sequence corresponding to the pulse sequence; then, acquiring a target distance between the antenna array and a target object according to the echo sequence and the pulse sequence; and then, adjusting the SAR value of the electronic equipment according to the target distance. Therefore, in the embodiment, the antenna array of the electronic device can be directly multiplexed to obtain the target distance between the antenna array and the target object and the SAR value can be adjusted by using the target distance, an SAR sensor or a distance sensor does not need to be arranged in the electronic device, the occupation of the electronic device is reduced, and the cost of the electronic device is favorably reduced.
