Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a schematic block diagram of another embodiment of the electronic device 3 according to the present invention. As shown in fig. 2, in the present embodiment, the electronic device 3 further includes a first bluetooth module 36 electrically connected to the processing unit 34, and configured to detect whether the external antenna module 35 is matched, and send out a first notification message to notify the user that the external antenna module 35 is matched when detecting that the external antenna module 35 is matched. Specifically, the first notification information may be an audio alert, for example, whether an enhancement device is found to be connected; the vibration reminding can be performed, such as single vibration reminding; or may appear on the screen of the electronic device in the form of a message pop-up window, without limitation. When the first bluetooth module 36 and the external antenna module 35 are matched for the first time, the first bluetooth module 36 is automatically connected with the external antenna module 35 after detecting the external antenna module 35 again.
Referring to fig. 3, fig. 3 is a schematic structural diagram of an external antenna module according to an embodiment of the invention. As shown in fig. 3, the external antenna module 35 is in a hand ring shape, and can be worn on the hand, thereby being convenient to carry. It will be appreciated that in other embodiments of the present invention, the external antenna module 35 may be configured in other shapes, and is not limited herein. The external antenna module 35 includes an antenna unit 351 for receiving and transmitting signals, wherein the antenna unit 351 is a millimeter wave antenna; the second bluetooth module 352 is configured to be connected to the first bluetooth module 36 in a matching manner.

s51, judging whether the first interface 33 is connected to the external antenna module 35;
specifically, before determining whether the first interface 33 is connected to the external antenna module 35, detecting whether there is a matched external antenna module 35; when detecting that the matched external antenna module 35 exists, sending out first notification information to notify a user of matching the external antenna module; when the electronic device 3 completes the first matching with the external antenna module 35, it automatically matches with the external antenna module 35 when detecting the external antenna module 35 again.
In detail, the electronic device 3 further includes a first bluetooth module 36, and detects whether the external antenna module 35 is matched through the first bluetooth module 36, and when detecting that the external antenna module 35 is matched, sends out a first notification message to notify the user that the external antenna module 35 is matched and connected. The first notification information may be an audible alert, for example, to discover whether an enhancement device is connected; the vibration reminding can be performed, such as single vibration reminding; or may appear on the screen of the electronic device in the form of a message pop-up window, without limitation. With reference to fig. 3, the external antenna module 35 is in a hand ring shape, and can be worn on the hand, thereby being convenient to carry. It will be appreciated that in other embodiments of the present invention, the external antenna module 35 may be configured in other shapes, and is not limited herein. The external antenna module 35 includes an antenna unit 351 for receiving and transmitting signals, wherein the antenna unit 351 is a millimeter wave antenna; the second bluetooth module 352 is configured to realize a matching connection with the first bluetooth module 36.

Specifically, when the first interface 33 is connected to the external antenna module 35, the processing unit 34 determines whether the external antenna module 35 needs to be connected before starting the external antenna module 35 to transmit and receive signals; when it is determined that the external antenna module 35 needs to be accessed, second notification information is sent. The second notification information may be an audible alert, for example, whether the current signal is weak, and whether the enhancement device is connected; may be a vibration alert, such as a continuous vibration alert; or may appear on the screen of the electronic device in the form of a message pop-up window, without limitation.
In this embodiment, the processing unit 34 further determines whether the strength indication of the received signal of the antenna module 31 is smaller than a preset value, and when the strength indication of the received signal is smaller than the preset value, the second notification information is sent out. As shown in fig. 2, due to the high directivity of the millimeter wave antenna, the millimeter wave antenna module is generally disposed at the side of the electronic device, but for a handheld device, such as a mobile phone, a user inevitably touches or shields the millimeter wave antenna module when holding the mobile phone, so that the intensity indication of the received signal of the millimeter wave antenna module is reduced, and the current receiving and transmitting requirements of the electronic device cannot be met. When the user receives the second notification information, the external antenna module 35 can be connected to the electronic device 3 through the first interface 33 according to the message prompt, and the external antenna module 35 is started to transmit and receive signals for the working antenna, so that the communication performance of the electronic device 3 is improved.
