Description

Communication method and electronic equipment

Technical Field

The present application relates to the field of electronic devices, and in particular, to a communication method and an electronic device.

Background

As communication networks evolve from the fourth generation mobile communication technology (the 4th generation mobile communication technology,4G) to the fifth generation mobile communication technology (the 5th generation mobile communication technology,5G), more and more areas are deployed with 5G stand alone networking (SA). However, due to incomplete network construction consideration and other reasons in the early stage of SA construction, the performance of the SA is not perfect at present, and the problems of influence on the user experience such as call failure, ping-pong effect, excessive power consumption of the user terminal and the like exist.

Disclosure of Invention

The application provides a communication method and electronic equipment, which can inhibit SA residing in the electronic equipment at a proper time after the electronic equipment is turned off, so that adverse effects of SA inhibition on user experience are avoided.

In order to achieve the above purpose, the embodiment of the present application adopts the following technical scheme:

in a first aspect, the present application provides a method of communication, the method comprising: firstly, when the duration of the electronic equipment in the off-screen state reaches a first preset duration, determining whether the electronic equipment is in a fifth generation mobile communication technology independent networking 5G SA mode or not and whether a background service is operated or not. Then, when the electronic equipment is in a 5G SA mode and the electronic equipment does not run background business, executing 5G SA suppression operation; and when the electronic equipment is in the 5G SA mode and the electronic equipment is running the background service, executing the 5G SA suppression operation after the background service is finished running. Wherein the 5G SA suppression operation includes: and reducing the priority of the electronic equipment accessing the 5G SA network or closing the capability of the electronic equipment accessing the 5G SA network.

Based on the above technical solution, after entering the off-screen state for a certain period of time, the electronic device may determine whether to execute the 5G SA suppression operation based on whether a background service exists in the case that the self access network is the 5G SA network, that is, make the user terminal access to other networks except the 5G SA network, for example, 4G as much as possible. Specifically, the electronic device may perform the 5G SA suppression operation under the condition that the background service is not running; and executing the 5G SA suppression operation after the background service operation is finished under the condition that the background service is operated. In this way, the action of inhibiting the electronic device from accessing the 5G SA network (i.e. performing the 5G SA inhibiting operation) will not affect the running background service, and will not adversely affect the user experience.

In one possible design manner of the first aspect, the method further includes: and when the electronic equipment is not in the 5G SA mode, the electronic equipment executes the 5G SA suppression operation.

Based on the scheme, the electronic equipment can be prevented from being switched to the 5G SA network from other networks after the screen of the electronic equipment is removed.

In one possible design manner of the first aspect, after the electronic device performs the 5G SA suppression operation, the method further includes:

if the electronic equipment resides in the network of the first network system, and the duration between the moment when the electronic equipment executes the 5G SA suppression operation and the moment when the electronic equipment starts to reside in the network of the first network system is smaller than a second preset duration, the electronic equipment executes SA recovery operation; or if the electronic device does not have the network service and the duration between the time when the electronic device executes the 5G SA suppressing operation and the time when the electronic device starts to have no network service is less than a second preset duration, the electronic device executes the SA recovering operation.

Wherein the SA recovery operation includes: the priority of the electronic equipment accessing to the 5G SA network is improved, or the capability of the electronic equipment accessing to the 5G SA network is started; the first network system is 2G or 3G.

Based on the scheme, after the 5G SA suppression operation is executed after the screen is turned off, if the electronic equipment is quickly accessed to a network with a lower data transmission speed, namely a network which does not meet most service requirements, the 5G SA recovery operation is timely executed, so that the electronic equipment can be normally accessed to the 5G SA network, and the use experience of a user is ensured. The situation that the electronic equipment accesses a network which has a low data transmission speed and does not meet most of service requirements and reduces the use experience of a user due to poor network conditions (such as 4G network exists but the signal is poor, or 4G network does not exist, only 5G SA network, 3G network and 2G network exist, or only 5G SA network) of the network except the 5G SA network possibly in the area where the electronic equipment is located is avoided.

In one possible design manner of the first aspect, after the electronic device performs the 5G SA suppression operation, the method further includes: if the electronic equipment resides in the network of the second network system and continuously resides for a second preset duration, the electronic equipment does not execute the 5G SA recovery operation; the second network format includes 4G or LTE.

Based on the scheme, after the 5G SA suppression operation is executed after the screen is turned off, the electronic equipment can be ensured to continue to suppress the electronic equipment from being connected to the 5G SA network if the electronic equipment is always connected to the network which has a faster data transmission speed and meets most service requirements within a certain time.

In one possible design manner of the first aspect, after the electronic device does not perform the 5G SA recovery operation, the method further includes: if the electronic device determines that the current area only provides the 5G SA network and/or the network of the first network system, and the 5G SA suppressing operation is to close the capability of the electronic device to access the 5G SA network, the electronic device executes the 5G SA recovering operation.

Based on the scheme, after the 5G SA suppression operation is performed after the electronic equipment is turned off, when the resident network influences or seriously influences the use experience of the user, the 5G SA recovery operation is performed so as to cancel the suppression of the electronic equipment to access the 5G SA network, so that the electronic equipment can be smoothly accessed into the 5G SA network, and the use experience of the user is ensured.

In one possible design manner of the first aspect, the reducing the priority of the electronic device for accessing the 5G SA includes: and reducing the priority of the electronic equipment accessing the 5G SA network to be lower than the priority of the electronic equipment accessing the network of the second network system.

In this way, the electronic device still has the capability to access the 5G SA network in case the electronic device reduces the priority of the electronic device to access the 5G SA network. Because the priority of the electronic device accessing the 5G SA is reduced below the priority of the electronic device accessing the network of the second network system, if the network of the second network system exists in the area where the electronic device is located at the moment, for example, a 4G network, the network where the electronic device resides is switched from the 5G SA to the network of the second network system. Thereby playing a role in inhibiting the electronic equipment from accessing the 5G SA network.

In one possible design manner of the first aspect, the enhancing the priority of the electronic device for accessing the 5G SA includes: and the priority of the electronic equipment accessing the 5G SA network is increased to be higher than the priority of the electronic equipment accessing the second network system.

Based on the scheme, because the electronic equipment can not access the 5G SA network any more, other networks can be selected to reside and be accessed, and the purpose of inhibiting the electronic equipment from accessing the 5G SA network is achieved.

In one possible design manner of the first aspect, after the electronic device performs the 5G SA suppression operation, the method further includes: the electronic equipment detects that the screen-off state is changed into the screen-on state, executes 5G SA recovery operation, and displays a signal identifier corresponding to 5G SA when the network where the electronic equipment resides is 5G SA when the electronic equipment is on screen for the previous time; and under the condition that the electronic equipment resides in the network of the second network system and lasts for a third preset duration, the electronic equipment displays the signal identifier corresponding to the network system of the network where the electronic equipment currently resides.

According to the technical scheme, after the 5G SA suppression operation is performed by the electronic equipment in the off-screen state, the time for the resident network to be switched to the foot electronic equipment can be given under the condition that the electronic equipment is switched from the off-screen state to the on-screen state. Under the condition that the electronic equipment cannot be switched to the 5G SA network residence, the signal identification corresponding to the network accessed by the electronic equipment is normally displayed, so that the informed requirement of a user on what network the electronic equipment is accessed to is ensured.

In one possible design manner of the first aspect, after the electronic device displays the signal identifier corresponding to the 5G SA, the method further includes: and switching the network where the electronic equipment resides from the network of the second network system to the 5G SA network, and normally displaying the signal identifier corresponding to the network system of the network where the electronic equipment resides by the electronic equipment.

According to the technical scheme, after the 5G SA suppression operation is performed by the electronic equipment in the off-screen state, the time for the resident network to be switched to the foot electronic equipment can be given under the condition that the electronic equipment is switched from the off-screen state to the on-screen state. Under the condition that the electronic equipment can be switched to the 5G SA network residence but not the switching is not completed, the electronic equipment is enabled to display the signal identification corresponding to the 5G SA until the switching is completed, the jump of the signal identification is avoided, and the look and feel and the use experience of a user are ensured.

In one possible design manner of the first aspect, the background service is a service that runs in the background of the electronic device and needs network support.

In a second aspect, the present application provides an electronic device comprising: a display screen, a memory, and one or more processors; the display screen and the memory are coupled with the processor; wherein the memory has stored therein computer program code comprising computer instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the electronic device to perform the communication method as provided in the first aspect.

In a fourth aspect, the present application provides a computer program product comprising executable instructions which, when run on an electronic device, cause the electronic device to perform a communication method as provided in the first aspect.

It may be appreciated that the advantages achieved by the technical solutions provided in the second aspect to the fourth aspect may refer to the advantages in the first aspect and any possible design manner thereof, and are not described herein.

Detailed Description

The terms "first" and "second" are used below for descriptive purposes only and are not to be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defining "a first" or "a second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more such feature. In the description of the present embodiment, unless otherwise specified, the meaning of "plurality" is two or more.

First, related art terms related to the present application will be described:

And (3) independent networking: english is called standby, which is called 5G SA for short. Independent networking is one of the fifth generation communication technology (the 5th generation mobile communication technology,5G) network architecture implementations. In the 5G SA architecture, a user terminal accesses a 5G core network through a 5G NR (New Radio) to complete various services. The data transmission speed in the network of the 5G SA structure is far greater than that of the previous communication system, such as LTE (long term evolution ), 4G (he 4th generation mobile communication technology, fourth generation communication technology), and the like.

The performance of the existing 5G SA is not perfect due to incomplete network construction consideration and other reasons in the initial stage of 5G SA construction, and the problems that the user experience is affected such as call failure, ping-pong effect, overlarge power consumption of a user terminal and the like exist. Based on the above, in order to reduce the influence of the 5G SA on the user experience on the basis of not influencing the user experience, the capability of the user terminal for accessing the 5G SA is closed after the user terminal is off screen for a certain time (for example, 60S), and the capability of the user terminal for accessing the 5G SA is opened after the user terminal is on screen. Closing the 5G SA after the screen of the ue is removed may cause the ue to switch to the access network, which may cause the ue to interrupt or stop the ongoing service. Thus, if the user terminal has an ongoing service in the background after the screen is removed, the service is interrupted or stopped. The service can be continued after the user is required to re-operate the user terminal. In this way, the user experience of the user terminal is reduced.

Based on this, the present application provides a communication method that can be applied to an electronic device that is capable of accessing a 5G SA network and all wireless communication networks before 5G generation. Referring to fig. 1, the electronic device enters an off-screen state in response to an off-screen event. After entering the off-screen state for a certain period of time, the electronic device can decide whether to perform 5G SA suppression based on whether background service exists or not under the condition that its own access network is a 5G SA network. The suppression by 5G SA allows the user terminal to access other networks than 5G SA, such as 4G, as much as possible. In this way, because the electronic device suppresses the 5G SA in combination with whether there is information about one of the background services, compared with the existing scheme that the user terminal is directly turned off to access the 5G SA network after the screen is turned off, the 5G SA can be suppressed at a more appropriate time. The use experience of the user is guaranteed.

In the present application, the electronic device may be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a wearable device, a vehicle-mounted device, an augmented reality (augmented reality, AR)/Virtual Reality (VR) device, a notebook computer, an ultra-mobile personal computer (UMPC), a netbook, a personal digital assistant (personal digital assistant, PDA), or a device having a display screen, and the present application does not limit the specific type of the electronic device.

Take the example of the electronic device being a cell phone. Fig. 2 shows a schematic structural diagram of the middle-electronic device 100 provided by the present application.

Referring to fig. 2, the electronic device 100 may include a processor 110, an external memory interface 120, an internal memory 121, a universal serial bus (universal serial bus, USB) interface 130, a charge management module 140, a power management module 141, a battery 142, an antenna 1, an antenna 2, a mobile communication module 150, a wireless communication module 160, an audio module 170, a speaker 170A, a receiver 170B, a microphone 170C, an earphone interface 170D, a sensor module 180, a key 190, a motor 191, an indicator 192, a display 193, a subscriber identity module (subscriber identification module, SIM) card interface 194, a camera 195, and the like. The sensor module 180 may include, among other things, a pressure sensor, a gyroscope sensor, a barometric sensor, a magnetic sensor, an acceleration sensor, a distance sensor, a proximity light sensor, a fingerprint sensor, a temperature sensor, a touch sensor, an ambient light sensor, a bone conduction sensor, etc.

The processor 110 may include one or more processing units, such as: the processor 110 may include an application processor (application processor, AP), a modem processor, a graphics processor (graphics processing unit, GPU), an image signal processor (image signal processor, ISP), a controller, a memory, a video codec, a digital signal processor (digital signal processor, DSP), a baseband processor, and/or a neural network processor (neural-network processing unit, NPU), etc. Wherein the different processing units may be separate devices or may be integrated in one or more processors. In the present application, the AP may be configured to determine a timing at which the electronic device performs the 5G SA suppression operation or the 5G SA recovery operation, and the modem processor may specifically perform the 5G SA suppression operation or the 5G SA recovery operation.

The controller may be a neural hub and command center of the electronic device. The controller can generate operation control signals according to the instruction operation codes and the time sequence signals to finish the control of instruction fetching and instruction execution.

A memory may also be provided in the processor 110 for storing instructions and data. In some embodiments, the memory in the processor 110 is a cache memory. The memory may hold instructions or data that the processor 110 has just used or recycled. If the processor 110 needs to reuse the instruction or data, it can be called directly from the memory. Repeated accesses are avoided and the latency of the processor 110 is reduced, thereby improving the efficiency of the system.

In some embodiments, the processor 110 may include one or more interfaces. The interfaces may include an integrated circuit (inter-integrated circuit, I2C) interface, an integrated circuit built-in audio (inter-integrated circuit sound, I2S) interface, a pulse code modulation (pulse code modulation, PCM) interface, a universal asynchronous receiver transmitter (universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter, UART) interface, a mobile industry processor interface (mobile industry processor interface, MIPI), a general-purpose input/output (GPIO) interface, a subscriber identity module (subscriber identity module, SIM) interface, and/or a universal serial bus (universal serial bus, USB) interface, among others.

The external memory interface 120 may be used to connect external non-volatile memory to enable expansion of the memory capabilities of the electronic device. The external nonvolatile memory communicates with the processor 110 through the external memory interface 120 to implement a data storage function. For example, files such as music and video are stored in an external nonvolatile memory.

The internal memory 121 may include one or more random access memories (random access memory, RAM) and one or more non-volatile memories (NVM). The random access memory may be read directly from and written to by the processor 110, may be used to store executable programs (e.g., machine instructions) for an operating system or other on-the-fly programs, may also be used to store data for users and applications, and the like. The nonvolatile memory may store executable programs, store data of users and applications, and the like, and may be loaded into the random access memory in advance for the processor 110 to directly read and write.

Touch sensors, also known as "touch devices". The touch sensor may be disposed on the display screen 193, and the touch sensor and the display screen 193 form a touch screen, which is also called a "touch screen". The touch sensor is used to detect a touch operation acting on or near it. The touch sensor may communicate the detected touch operation to the application processor to determine the touch event type. Visual output related to the touch operation may be provided through the display 193. In other embodiments, the touch sensor may also be disposed on a surface of the electronic device other than where the display 193 is located.

In the present application, the touch sensor may detect an operation of a user acting on the display screen of the mobile phone, and the processor 110 analyzes and executes a function corresponding to the operation, such as turning off the screen, turning on the screen, and the like.

The pressure sensor is used for sensing a pressure signal and can convert the pressure signal into an electric signal. In some embodiments, the pressure sensor may be provided on the display 193. Pressure sensors are of many kinds, such as resistive pressure sensors, inductive pressure sensors, capacitive pressure sensors, etc. The capacitive pressure sensor may be a capacitive pressure sensor comprising at least two parallel plates with conductive material. When a force is applied to the pressure sensor, the capacitance between the electrodes changes. The electronic device 10 determines the strength of the pressure from the change in capacitance. When a touch operation is applied to the display 193, the electronic apparatus 10 detects the intensity of the touch operation based on the pressure sensor. The electronic device 10 may also calculate the location of the touch based on the detection signal of the pressure sensor. In some embodiments, touch operations that act on the same touch location, but at different touch operation strengths, may correspond to different operation instructions. For example: and executing an instruction for checking the short message when the touch operation with the touch operation intensity smaller than the first pressure threshold acts on the short message application icon. And executing an instruction for newly creating the short message when the touch operation with the touch operation intensity being greater than or equal to the first pressure threshold acts on the short message application icon.

The keys 190 include a power key, a volume key, etc. In the present application, when the mobile phone is in the bright screen state, if the user presses the power key, the mobile phone generates a corresponding first pressing signal and sends the corresponding first pressing signal to the processor 110. The processor 110 controls the display 193 to be turned off after receiving the first pressing signal, so that the mobile phone is turned off. When the mobile phone is in the off-screen state, if the user presses the power key, the mobile phone generates a corresponding second pressing signal and sends the second pressing signal to the processor 110. The processor 110 controls the display 193 to be on after receiving the second pressing signal, so that the mobile phone is on.

The motor 191 may generate a vibration cue. The indicator 192 may be an indicator light, may be used to indicate a state of charge, a change in charge, a message indicating a missed call, a notification, etc. The SIM card interface 195 is used to connect a SIM card.

It will be understood, of course, that the above illustration of fig. 2 is merely exemplary of the case where the electronic device is in the form of a cellular phone. If the electronic device is a tablet computer, a handheld computer, a PC, a PDA, a wearable device (e.g., a smart watch, a smart bracelet), etc., the electronic device may include fewer structures than those shown in fig. 2, or may include more structures than those shown in fig. 2, which is not limited herein.

Based on the above hardware architecture, the communication method provided by the application is introduced by taking the electronic equipment as an example of a mobile phone.

Referring to fig. 3, a flow chart of a communication method provided by the present application is shown. Referring to fig. 3, the method includes S301 to S304:

s301, the mobile phone responds to the screen-off event and enters a screen-off state.

In the actual mobile phone use process, if the user does not want to use the mobile phone temporarily or does not need to operate the mobile phone frequently, the user can make the mobile phone enter the screen-off state by performing screen-off operation on the mobile phone, or the mobile phone enters the screen-off state at a specific time. The screen-off operation and the specific time of the screen-off of the mobile phone by the user are the screen-off events in the application.

The screen-off operation can be implemented in the following ways:

in a first possible manner, the off-screen operation may be a pressing operation of a power key (or called a start key or a lock key) of the mobile phone by a user in a bright screen state of the mobile phone. For example, referring to fig. 4 (a), the mobile phone may receive a pressing operation of the power key 401 by the user. In response to the pressing operation, referring to (b) of fig. 4, the mobile phone may extinguish the screen to enter the off-screen state. It should be noted that, in general, the power key often has multiple functions, and the change of the pressing times and the duration corresponds to different functions. The pressing operation here may be one of pressing conditions corresponding to a plurality of functions of the power button, for example, a short-time pressing.

In a second implementation, the mobile phone itself may be provided with a one-touch screen lock function. The specific desktop of the mobile phone can display a one-key screen locking option, and the screen locking operation can be a triggering operation, such as a clicking operation, of the one-key screen locking option by a user. Illustratively, referring to fig. 5 (a), the mobile phone may receive a trigger operation of the one-touch screen lock option 501 on the desktop of the mobile phone by the user. In response to the trigger operation, referring to (b) of fig. 5, the mobile phone may extinguish the screen to enter an off-screen state.

Of course, the above two implementations are merely examples, and in other examples of the present application, the off-screen operation may be any feasible operation, which is not specifically limited by the present application.

The specific moment of screen-off can be realized in the following ways:

in a first implementation, the specific moment of screen-off may be when the user brings the mobile phone close to the ear and performs the call service. Specifically, in the process of carrying out the call service, the mobile phone can utilize the front camera or the ranging sensor arranged at one side of the mobile phone screen to determine whether the mobile phone is currently picked up by the user and approaches the ear to carry out the call. If the user is determined to pick up the mobile phone to be close to the ear for conversation, the mobile phone indicates that the user has high probability of only using conversation service at present, and the mobile phone can control the screen to be extinguished to enter a screen-off state.

In a second implementation, the specific moment of screen-off may be that the user does not perform any operation on the mobile phone for a certain period of time (for example, 30 s), where the certain period of time may be set by the user or default setting of the mobile phone. Specifically, if the mobile phone is in a bright screen state and does not receive any operation of the user, such as mobile phone, touch of a mobile phone screen, etc., the mobile phone indicates that the user has no need to operate the mobile phone at present in a large probability, for example, the user only needs to utilize the mobile phone background to operate the song listening application to listen to the song at the moment. At this time, the mobile phone can control the screen to be extinguished to enter a screen-off state. It should be appreciated that the handset does not do this if it is in a bright screen state and is doing business such as playing video.

Of course, the above two application implementations are merely examples, and in other examples of the present application, the specific timing of the screen-off may be any feasible timing, which is not particularly limited by the present application.

S302, when the duration in the off-screen state of the mobile phone reaches a first preset duration, judging whether the mobile phone currently resides in the 5G SA network.

In one implementation, the mobile phone may start a timer when entering the off-screen state, where the upper limit of the timer may be the first preset duration, for example 60s, as mentioned in the present application. And then, when the mobile phone is in the off-screen state and the timer reaches the upper limit (or the timer is overtime), the mobile phone can determine that the duration of the off-screen state is equal to the first preset duration. The handset may then begin to determine if it is currently resident in the 5G SA network. In the application, if the mobile phone resides in the 5G SA network, the mobile phone is considered to be in the 5G SA mode.

Specifically, when a mobile phone establishes a connection with a network of a certain network system and resides in the network, a network type (network type) identifier of the network is obtained. The network type identifier is used to indicate a specific network type or network type of the network. In the application, the mobile phone can determine the network system of the network where the mobile phone currently resides based on the network type identifier. Further, it can also be determined whether the mobile phone is currently resident in the 5G SA network.

When the judgment result of the step S302 is that the mobile phone currently resides in the 5G SA network when the duration of the mobile phone in the off-screen state reaches the first preset duration, executing S303; and S304 is executed under the condition that the mobile phone does not reside in the 5G SA network currently when the duration of the mobile phone in the off-screen state reaches the first preset duration as a result of the judgment in the step S302.

Under the condition that the mobile phone is determined to be currently resident in the 5G SA network, if the mobile phone is directly restrained from being accessed into the 5G SA network, the background service which is in progress by the mobile phone can be possibly caused to be interrupted or stopped because the mobile phone is switched from the 5G SA network to other networks, and the use experience of a user is influenced. For example, referring to the first implementation manner in the specific off-screen occasion, when the mobile phone is in the off-screen state, a background service, i.e. a call service, is necessarily operated.

In this case, it is necessary to determine whether the mobile phone has background service, i.e. execute S303, and then determine whether to suppress the 5G SA.

In the case where it is determined that the handset is not currently resident in the 5G SA network, in order to prevent the subsequent handsets from being resident in the area where the 5G SA exists and accessing the 5G SA network, it is necessary to perform suppression of the handset from accessing the 5G SA, that is, to perform S304.

In one example of the present application, the determination step of S302 described above may not be performed. In this example, the mobile phone may perform S303 if it is determined that the mobile phone is currently residing in a 5G SA network, and may perform S304 if it is determined that the mobile phone is currently residing in a network other than the 5G SA network.

S303, the mobile phone judges whether a background service is operated or not.

Specifically, how the mobile phone judges whether the mobile phone runs the background service or not can be obtained by checking the process of the mobile phone. Of course, the mobile phone may also determine whether it runs a background service in any other feasible manner. In the application, the background service specifically refers to a service which runs in the background of the mobile phone and needs network support, such as a call service performed in a screen-off state, a download service performed in a screen-off state, and the like. In addition, it should be noted that, when the mobile phone performs the off-screen state, all the services performed by the mobile phone are services running in the background, and the background service mentioned in the present application is the service that needs to be supported by the network.

When the judgment result of S303 is that the mobile phone determines that the background service is not running, the user experience is not affected by the inhibition of the mobile phone to access the 5G SA network. At this point, the mobile station can start to inhibit from accessing the 5G SA network, i.e., S304 is executed.

When the judgment result in S303 is that the mobile phone determines that the mobile phone runs the background service, the user experience may be affected by the inhibition of the mobile phone accessing the 5G SA network, so that it is required to continuously determine whether the background service is running, i.e. execute S303. And then, after the background service is operated, namely under the condition that the mobile phone does not operate the background service, the mobile phone is restrained from accessing the 5G SA network.

In practice, the background service of the mobile phone running is not terminated in a short time, and in the above embodiment, if the background service of the mobile phone running is not terminated, the judgment of S303 needs to be repeatedly performed. Thus, great waste of operation resources of the mobile phone is caused. Thus, for the purpose of saving mobile phone operation resources, in some embodiments, after S303 is executed for the first time and it is determined that the mobile phone runs with a background service, S303 may be executed at intervals. The period of time may be determined according to the actual operation condition of each service and the performance of the mobile phone itself, and may be 10s, for example.

In one implementation, the time interval between two S303 implementations may be determined by the handset starting a timer. For example, referring to fig. 6 in conjunction with fig. 3, in the case where the handset determines that the handset itself does not run the background service, S303A is executed:

S303A, starting a timer1 by the mobile phone, and executing S303 after the timer1 is finished.

The upper timing limit of the timer1 may be the aforementioned period of time. In the application, after the timer1 is finished, the timer is reset and stopped until the next time is restarted. Of course, the timer1 may be terminated after the timing is finished, and then S303 is executed to determine that the mobile phone runs the background service, and generate and start a new timer1 again.

In an example of the present application, the step of determining S303 may not be performed, and if it is determined that the mobile phone does not operate the background service, the mobile phone may perform S304, and if it is determined that the mobile phone operates the background service, the mobile phone may perform S304 after the operation of the background service is completed.

S304, the mobile phone executes 5G SA suppression operation.

In some embodiments, the mobile phone may set a corresponding access priority for networks of different network systems. The access priority of the network aiming at different network systems can be set when the mobile phone leaves the factory. The higher the access priority, the more prioritized the access or stay. For example, if a certain mobile phone supports access to the network of four network systems, namely 2G, 3G, 4G and 5G SA, and the access priority is 5G SA, 4G, 3G and 2G in sequence from high to low. The handset will prefer to access the 5G SA network. In other examples of the present application, the signal strength of different networks may also be considered as a reference, and the present application is not specifically described herein.

In this case, the 5G SA suppression operation may include: and reducing the priority of the mobile phone accessing to the 5G SA network, namely reducing the access priority of the 5G SA. Specifically, in the present application, the priority of accessing the mobile phone to the 5G SA network may be reduced to be lower than the priority of accessing the mobile phone to the network of the second network system. The second network system comprises a network system before 5G generation, and the data transmission speed corresponding to the second network system is larger than a preset threshold value. The preset threshold may be a data transmission speed capable of satisfying most traffic. The preset threshold may be a theoretical maximum data transmission speed of the network of the first network system. The first network system may be a 3G, 2G, or other low-speed network, for example. The second network system may be a high-speed network such as 4G, LTE.

Taking a mobile phone to support access to the network of four network systems, namely 2G, 3G, 4G and 5G SA, and taking 5G SA, 4G, 3G and 2G as examples of the access priority from high to low, the second network system can be 4G, and the reduction of the priority of the mobile phone to access to the 5G SA network can be specifically to reduce the access priority of 5G SA to be lower than the access priority of 4G.

In this way, when the priority of the mobile phone accessing the 5G SA is reduced, the mobile phone still has the capability of accessing the 5G SA, but because of the reduction of the access priority of the 5G SA, if a network of the second network system, for example, a 4G network, exists in the area where the mobile phone is located, the network where the mobile phone resides will be switched from the 5G SA to the network of the second network system. Any feasible means may be used by the specific handset to switch the resident network from the 5G SA to the other network, which is not particularly limited by the present application.

Of course, in order to make the mobile phone not reside in the network of the first network system but reside in the network of the second network system after the mobile phone executes the 5G SA suppression operation, the priority of the mobile phone accessing to the 5G SA network can be reduced to be only smaller than the priority of the mobile phone accessing to the network of the second network system. In this way, in the present application, when all networks of the network system in the area where the mobile phone is located exist, it can be considered that the mobile phone resides in the network of the second network system after executing step S304.

It should be noted that, the priority of mobile phone access to the 5G SA network may be reduced instead of the priority of mobile phone access to the network of the second network system. Specifically, the priority of the network of the second network system may be increased above the priority of the mobile phone accessing the 5G SA network. The effect is equivalent to the reduction of the priority of the mobile phone to access the 5G SA network.

In other embodiments, the 5G SA suppression operation may include: and closing the capability of the mobile phone to access the 5G SA network. In this case, since the handset cannot access the 5G SA network any more, it is necessary to select other networks to camp on and access.

In one example of the present application, the 5G SA suppression operation may be any other feasible operation, as long as it is guaranteed that after the 5G SA suppression operation is performed, the mobile phone will switch to another network.

Based on the above technical solutions of S301 to S304, after entering the off-screen state for a certain period of time, if the own access network is a 5G SA network, the mobile phone decides whether to execute the 5G SA suppression operation based on whether there is a background service, that is, makes the user terminal access to other networks except the 5G SA network, for example, a 4G network, as far as possible. Specifically, the mobile phone can execute the 5G SA suppression operation under the condition that the background service is not running; and executing the 5G SA suppression operation after the background service operation is finished under the condition that the background service is operated. Thus, the action of inhibiting the mobile phone from accessing the 5G SA network (namely, executing the 5G SA inhibition operation) will not affect the running background service, and will not adversely affect the user experience.

In practice, the area where the handset is located may have poor network conditions except for the 5G SA network, for example, there is a 4G network but the signal is poor, or there is no 4G network only 5G SA, 3G and 2G networks, or there is only 5G SA network. In this case, after the mobile phone performs the step S304, the mobile phone may reside on a low-speed network such as 3G or 2G, or no network service.

Thus, in some embodiments, referring to FIG. 7 in conjunction with FIG. 3, S304 may further include S305-S307:

s305, the mobile phone determines the network system of the network where the mobile phone resides in the second preset time.

Specifically, how the mobile phone determines the network system of its own resident network may refer to the related description after S302, which is not described herein.

In one implementation, after performing step S305, the mobile phone may start a timer, where the upper limit of the timer may be a second preset duration, for example, 5S, as mentioned in the present application. And when the timer reaches the upper limit of timing, indicating that the mobile phone reaches a second preset duration after executing the 5G SA suppression operation.

As described above, in the case where networks of all network systems in the area where the mobile phone is located exist, it may be considered that the mobile phone resides in the network of the second network system after executing step S304. According to an example of the embodiment of the present application, in the process of executing S305, if the duration of the mobile phone residing in the network of the second network system is less than the second preset duration, and the mobile phone is switched from the network residing in the second network system to the first network system within the second preset duration after executing step S304, or the mobile phone is in the network service-free state after a period of residence of the network of the second network system, it indicates that after the mobile phone is inhibited from accessing the 5G SA network, the mobile phone is accessed into the network of the first network system with a slower data transmission speed or the mobile phone is not in the network service state within a short time due to the limitation of the network in the area where the mobile phone is located. This will make most of the traffic of the handset not go on properly. At this time, the suppression of the mobile station accessing the 5G SA network needs to be canceled, and the 5G SA recovery operation is performed, that is, S306 is performed after S305.

In an implementation manner, the duration of the mobile phone residing in the network of the second network system is smaller than the second preset duration, which may mean that the duration between the time when the mobile phone performs the 5G SA suppression operation and the time when the mobile phone switches from the network of the second network system to the network of the first network system is smaller than the second preset duration.

Specifically, in this implementation manner, after the mobile phone performs the 5G SA suppression operation, the mobile phone first resides and accesses the network of the second network system for a period of time (less than the second preset duration), and then resides and accesses the network of the first network system.

In another implementation manner, the duration of the mobile phone residing in the network of the second network system is less than the second preset duration, which may mean that the duration between the time when the mobile phone performs the 5G SA suppression operation and the time when the mobile phone starts to have no network service is less than the second preset duration.

Specifically, in this implementation manner, after the mobile phone performs the 5G SA suppression operation, the mobile phone first resides and accesses the network of the second network system for a period of time (less than the second preset duration), and then becomes a network-free service.

In addition, as described above, in the case where the area where the mobile phone is located does not have a network of the second network system (for example, 4G) or the network signal instruction of the second network system is bad, the mobile phone can be considered to be unable to reside in the network of the second network system after the step S304 is performed. At this time, the mobile phone may reside in the network of the first network system or have no network service. According to an example of the embodiment of the present application, in the process of executing S305, if the mobile phone resides in the network of the first network system or the mobile phone has no network service, it indicates that after the mobile phone is restricted from accessing the 5G SA network, most of the services of the mobile phone cannot be performed normally. At this time, the suppression of the mobile phone accessing the 5G SA network needs to be canceled to perform the 5G SA recovery operation, that is, S306 is performed after S305.

In the present application, the specific definition of the second network system may refer to the related expression in the foregoing embodiment, and will not be repeated here. The first network system comprises a network system before the second network system is generated (i.e., the second network system may comprise a network system after the first network system is generated), and the data transmission speed corresponding to the first network system is less than a preset threshold. For example, when the second network system is 4G, the first network system may be 3G, 2G, or the like. When the data transmission speed of a certain network theory is smaller than a preset threshold, the network can be considered to be incapable of meeting the requirements of most of services on the mobile phone, the influence on the use experience of a user is large, for example, an application heartbeat data packet cannot be normally sent or notification information of an application program may not be received.

In one implementation, in a case where the 5G SA suppression operation is to reduce the priority of the electronic device accessing the 5G SA network, the 5G SA recovery operation includes: and the priority of the mobile phone accessing to the 5G SA network is improved.

In the case that the priority of the mobile phone accessing to the 5G SA network is reduced to be lower than the priority of the mobile phone accessing to the network of the second network system, the priority of the mobile phone accessing to the 5G SA network is increased to be higher than the priority of the mobile phone accessing to the network of the second network system.

In this way, under the condition that the priority of the mobile phone accessing the 5G SA network is improved, because of the increase of the access priority of the 5G SA network, if the 5G SA network exists in the area where the mobile phone is located at this time, the network where the mobile phone resides is switched from the network of the first network system or the network-free service to the 5G SA network. Any feasible means may be used for switching the residence network by the specific mobile phone, and the present application is not limited in particular.

It should be noted that, the priority of the mobile phone accessing to the 5G SA network may be equivalently replaced by the priority of the mobile phone accessing to the network of the second network system. Specifically, the priority of the network of the second network system may be reduced below the priority of the mobile phone accessing the 5G SA network. The effect is equal to the improvement of the priority of the mobile phone accessing to the 5G SA network.

In another implementation manner, in a case where the 5G SA suppression operation is to shut down the capability of the handset to access the 5G SA network, the 5G SA recovery operation includes: and starting the capability of the mobile phone to access the 5G SA network. In this case, if the 5G SA network exists in the area where the mobile phone is located at this time, and the access priority of the 5G SA network is the highest and the data transmission rate is the highest, the network where the mobile phone resides will be switched from the network of the first network system or the network-free service to the 5G SA network based on the purpose of better user experience.

As described above, in the case where networks of all network systems in the area where the mobile phone is located exist, it may be considered that the mobile phone resides in the network of the second network system after executing step S304. According to another example of the embodiment of the present application, in the process of executing S305, if the mobile phone resides in the network of the second network system within the second preset duration, it indicates that after the mobile phone is inhibited from accessing the 5G SA network, the data transmission speed of the mobile phone itself accessing the network can meet the requirement of most services, and at this time, the 5G SA network recovery operation may not be executed, that is, S307 may be executed.

S306, the mobile phone executes 5G SA recovery operation.

S307, the mobile phone does not execute the 5G SA recovery operation.

Based on the technical scheme corresponding to the S305-S307, after the 5G SA access inhibition is performed by the mobile phone, the mobile phone can be ensured to be accessed into a network with higher data transmission speed, and the network can meet most of service requirements in the mobile phone, so that the use experience of a user is ensured.

In some embodiments, after the mobile phone performs S307 and the preceding steps, the user may carry the mobile phone to move after the mobile phone resides in the network of the second network system. The handset may then be in an area where only 5G SA and/or networks of the first network type are present.

At this time, there are several cases:

(1) If the area where the mobile phone is located only has the 5G SA network and the 5G SA restraining operation is to close the capability of the mobile phone to access the 5G SA network, the mobile phone has no network service, and the use experience of a user is seriously affected.

(2) If the area where the mobile phone is located only has the area of the network of the first network system and the 5G SA suppression operation is to close the capability of the mobile phone to access the 5G SA network, the mobile phone can reside and access the network of the first network system. The data transmission speed of the network of the first network system is low, and adverse effects are generated on most of services, so that the use experience of the user on the mobile phone is reduced.

(3) If the area where the mobile phone is located only has the area of the 5G SA network and the network of the first network system and the 5G SA restraining operation is to close the capability of the mobile phone to access the 5G SA network, the mobile phone can reside and access the network of the first network system. The data transmission speed of the network of the first network system is low, and adverse effects are generated on most of services, so that the use experience of the user on the mobile phone is reduced.

It can be seen that in these cases the user experience with the handset is reduced. So to avoid this, referring to fig. 8 in conjunction with fig. 7, after S307, the method further includes S308:

S308, if the mobile phone determines that the current area only provides the 5G SA network and/or the network of the first network system, and the 5G SA suppression operation is to close the capability of the electronic equipment to access the 5G SA network, the electronic equipment executes the 5G SA recovery operation.

The mobile phone can determine which network systems of the network exist in the area where the mobile phone is located by detecting the network type of the network in the area where the mobile phone is located. The specific detection mode may be any feasible mode, and the application is not particularly limited thereto.

Of course, the step S308 may be S308A:

S308A, if the network where the mobile phone resides is switched from the second network system to the first network system or no network service, the electronic device executes the 5G SA recovery operation.

S308A functions the same as S308.

Based on the technical scheme corresponding to S308 or S308A, after the 5G SA suppression operation is performed after the mobile phone is turned off, when the resident network affects or seriously affects the use experience of the user, the 5G SA recovery operation is performed so as to cancel the suppression of the mobile phone to access the 5G SA network, so that the mobile phone can be smoothly accessed into the 5G SA network, and the use experience of the user is ensured.

In order to ensure normal use of a user when the mobile phone is on, the mobile phone can execute 5G SA recovery operation after being switched from off screen to on screen, so that the mobile phone can be normally connected to any network. Of course, if the mobile phone has executed the 5G SA recovery operation in the off-screen state, the mobile phone can remain the same after the screen is turned on.

In some embodiments, if the mobile phone resides on the 5G SA network when the mobile phone is on the screen at the previous time, and the mobile phone off-screen state only performs the 5G SA suppression operation, the mobile phone resides on the network of the second network system, that is, S306, S308 or S308A in the previous embodiment is not performed. When the subsequent user needs to operate the mobile phone to lighten the screen by using the mobile phone, although the mobile phone can execute the 5G SA recovery operation to enable the mobile phone to access the 5G SA network, the process of switching the network where the mobile phone resides from the network of the second network system to the 5G SA network after the mobile phone is on the screen may take several seconds or even tens of seconds, so that the mobile phone displays the signal identifier corresponding to the second network system within a period of time when the mobile phone is on the screen. After the network where the mobile phone resides is switched to 5G SA, the mobile phone displays the signal identifier corresponding to the 5G SA.

For example, referring to fig. 9 (a), the mobile phone is resident on the 5G SA network at the previous time of screen lighting, and the signal identifier "5G" corresponding to the 5G SA is displayed in the signal identifier display area 901. Thereafter, in response to the off-screen event, referring to fig. 9 (b), the mobile phone enters an off-screen state. After entering the screen-off state for a first preset time, the mobile phone executes 5G SA suppression operation under the condition that the preset condition is met, so that the mobile phone resides and is connected with a signal identifier corresponding to a second network system. The preset condition may be related information that needs to be determined before the mobile phone executes the 5G SA operation in the foregoing embodiment, which is not described herein.

The handset may then switch from off to on in response to the Yu Liangbing event, entering the on state shown in fig. 9 (c). As shown in fig. 9 (c), the mobile phone displays the signal identifier corresponding to the second network system in the signal identifier display area 901. For example, taking the second network system as 4G as an example, the mobile phone may specifically display "4G" in the signal identifier display area 901.

In combination with the related expression of the screen-off event in the foregoing embodiment, the screen-on event may be a screen-on specific occasion corresponding to a screen-on operation or a screen-off specific occasion corresponding to a screen-off operation.

The operation of lighting the screen may be that the user presses a power key (or called a start key or a screen locking key) of the mobile phone in a screen-off state of the mobile phone. For example, referring to fig. 4 (b), the mobile phone may receive a pressing operation of the power key 401 by the user. In response to the pressing operation, referring to (a) of fig. 4, the mobile phone may light up the screen to enter a bright screen state. It should be noted that, in general, the power key often has multiple functions, and the change of the pressing times and the duration corresponds to different functions. The pressing operation here may be one of pressing conditions corresponding to a plurality of functions of the power button, for example, a short-time pressing. In other examples of the present application, the operation of lighting the screen may be any feasible operation, and the present application is not particularly limited thereto. In fig. 9, a power key is pressed by a bright screen operation as an example.

The specific moment of the screen brightness can be realized in the following ways:

in a first implementation manner, the specific moment of the screen lighting may be when the user holds the mobile phone away from the ear or when the call ends during the process of making the mobile phone close to the ear and performing the call service. Specifically, in the process of carrying out the call service, the mobile phone can utilize the front camera or the ranging sensor arranged at one side of the mobile phone screen to determine whether the mobile phone is currently picked up by the user and approaches the ear to carry out the call. If the mobile phone is determined not to be close to the ear by a certain distance (for example, 2 cm), the mobile phone indicates that the user has a high probability of using other services of the mobile phone, and the mobile phone can control the screen to enter a bright screen state.

In a second implementation manner, the specific moment of lighting the screen may be that the mobile phone lights up the screen and displays a call reminder when receiving a call request in the off-screen state. Of course, if the user sets notification messages of other applications to wake up the screen, the specific time of lighting the screen may be when the mobile phone receives the notification messages of the applications.

Of course, the above two application implementations are merely examples, and in other examples of the present application, the specific timing of the lighting may be any feasible timing, which is not specifically limited by the present application.

After a third preset period of time, referring to fig. 9 (d), the mobile phone displays the signal identifier "5G" of the 5G SA in the signal identifier display area 901. The third preset time period is the aforementioned period of time. The third preset time period may be, for example, 60s. The third preset duration may be the longest time required for the handset to switch the network in which it resides in most cases.

It can be seen that the user can obviously find the jump of the signal identification when using the mobile phone. The user may consider that the mobile phone with the 5G function fails and can only be connected to the 4G, or consider that the current area does not have a 5G network, thereby causing bad use experience for the user.

Based on this, in order to avoid such a jump affecting the user experience, in a case where the mobile phone only performs the 5G SA suppression operation in the off-screen state so that the mobile phone resides in the network of the second network system, referring to fig. 10, the communication method provided by the present application may further include S1001-S1005:

s1001, responding to a bright screen event when the mobile phone is in a screen-off state, and entering a bright screen state.

Illustratively, a screen-on event is taken as an example of a pressing operation of a power key of the mobile phone by a user. Referring to fig. 11 (a), the user can perform a pressing operation on the power key 101 of the cellular phone when necessary. Thereafter, in response to the pressing operation, the cellular phone may switch from off to on in response to a Yu Liangbing event, and enter the on state as shown in fig. 11 (b).

S1002, the mobile phone executes 5G SA recovery operation.

Based on S1002, the handset can access the 5G SA normally.

S1003, when the network where the mobile phone resides when the electronic equipment is on the screen at the previous time is a 5G SA network, displaying a signal identifier corresponding to the 5G SA.

For example, as shown in fig. 11 (b), the mobile phone may display a signal identifier "5G" corresponding to 5G SA in the signal identifier display area 102.

In the present application, S1002 and S1003 do not have a necessary sequence, and may be executed first in S1002, or executed first in S1003, or executed together. The present application is not particularly limited thereto.

S1004, the mobile phone judges whether the duration of the network of the second network system where the mobile phone resides reaches a third preset duration after entering the bright screen state.

The specific manner in which the mobile phone determines the network system of the network where the mobile phone resides may refer to the related description in the foregoing embodiment, which is not repeated here.

In one implementation, the mobile phone may start a timer when entering the bright screen state, where the upper limit of the timer may be the third preset duration, for example 60s, as mentioned in the present application. And then, when the mobile phone continuously resides in the network of the second network system and the timer is not up to the upper limit, determining that the duration of the mobile phone residing in the network of the second network system is smaller than the third preset duration. When the mobile phone continuously resides in the network of the second network system and the timer reaches the upper limit, the duration of the mobile phone residing in the network of the second network system can be determined to reach a third preset duration.

When the judging result of S1004 is that the mobile phone determines that the duration of the network residing in the second network system reaches the third preset duration, it indicates that the area where the mobile phone is currently located has no 5G SA network coverage or the 5G SA network signal is not well connected. At this time, the mobile phone does not reside on the 5G SA network and belongs to objective unreliability. At this time, the mobile phone can normally display the corresponding signal identifier according to the network where the mobile phone resides, and the jump of the signal identifier is not required to be optimized, that is, S1005 is executed.

When the judging result of S1004 is that the duration of the network residing in the second network system is less than the third preset duration, it indicates that the mobile phone may not complete the handover from the network of the second network system to the 5G SA network. So in order to avoid bad influence on the look and feel and experience of the user, the mobile phone still displays the signal identifier corresponding to the 5G SA at the moment. After that, S1004 is continued. Until the judging result of S1004 is that the duration of the network residing in the second network system is determined to reach the third preset duration by the mobile phone.

S1005, the mobile phone displays a signal identifier corresponding to a network system of a network where the electronic equipment currently resides.

Specifically, when the mobile phone switches to the 5G SA network within the third preset duration, the signal identifier displayed by the mobile phone in S1005 is the signal identifier corresponding to the 5G SA. When the mobile phone does not complete or can not complete the action of switching to the 5G SA network within the third preset time, the signal identifier displayed by the mobile phone in S1005 is the signal identifier corresponding to the second network system.

For example, when the mobile phone switches to the 5G SA network within the third preset duration, referring to (c) in fig. 11, the mobile phone may continue to display the signal identifier "5G" corresponding to the 5G SA in the signal identifier display area 102.

When the mobile phone does not complete or can not complete the switching to the 5G SA network within the third preset duration, referring to (d) in fig. 11, the mobile phone may display a signal identifier corresponding to the second network system, for example, "4G", in the signal identifier display area 102.

Based on the technical scheme corresponding to S1001-S1005, after the mobile phone performs the 5G SA suppression operation in the off-screen state, the mobile phone is given time to switch the residence network when the mobile phone is switched from off-screen to on-screen. Under the condition that the mobile phone can be switched to the 5G SA to stay but not be switched to be incomplete, the mobile phone is enabled to display the signal identification corresponding to the 5G SA until the switching is completed, jump of the signal identification is avoided, and the look and feel and the use experience of a user are ensured.

In addition, it should be noted that, at present, the 5G SA network is not completely deployed, and meanwhile, the 5G SA network consumes more power and consumes faster traffic. Accordingly, for the purpose of improving user experience, most mobile phones supporting 5G SA networks at present provide users with an option of opening/closing the capability of the mobile phone to access the 5G SA network, so that the users can choose whether to allow the mobile phone to access the 5G SA network according to their own needs. By way of example, there may be a 5G option in the drop down menu of the handset. The mobile phone can receive the trigger of the 5G option from the user, and change the capability of the mobile phone for accessing the 5G SA network from on to off or from off to on.

In the case where the user performs an operation of closing the capability of accessing the 5G SA network by the mobile phone, such as a triggering operation (e.g., a clicking operation) on the 5G option, so that the mobile phone closes the capability of accessing the 5G SA network, the mobile phone itself has completed the suppression of the access of the mobile phone to the 5G SA network. At this time, the technical scheme provided by the application does not need to be executed.

It will be appreciated that, in order to achieve the above-mentioned functions, the electronic device includes corresponding hardware structures and/or software modules for performing the respective functions. Those of skill in the art will readily appreciate that the various illustrative elements and algorithm steps described in connection with the embodiments disclosed herein may be implemented as hardware or combinations of hardware and computer software.

Skilled artisans may implement the described functionality in varying ways for each particular application, but such implementation decisions should not be interpreted as causing a departure from the scope of the present application.

The present application may divide the above-described electronic device into functional modules according to the above-described method example, for example, each functional module may be divided corresponding to each function, or two or more functions may be integrated into one processing module.
