TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to the field of electronic technologies, and more particularly to a method and a terminal for automatically detecting a terminal band setting. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION With the diversification and complication of global wireless communication services, operators are increasingly demanding terminals, and a series of complicated new demands are proposed for terminals.

The S operator has the available networks in the A/B/C frequency band in the T position. In order to ensure that the C-band network is not overloaded, the customized terminal is required to use only the A/B two-band network in the T position, and C is not allowed. Band network. In the T position, when the user sets the frequency band on the terminal and sets the C band to be available, the terminal will use the C band network at the T position.

In the prior art, in the T position, when the user sets the frequency band on the terminal and sets the C frequency band to be available, when the terminal searches for the C frequency band and tries to register the C frequency band, the network side identifies Whether the terminal is a restricted terminal, if it is a restricted terminal, rejecting the restricted terminal access, thereby achieving the purpose of limiting the terminal to use the C-band at the T position. Since the network side is required to judge the restricted terminal, the consumption of the network side system resources is increased.

In the prior art, the consumption of the network side system resources is increased due to the unreasonable frequency band setting of the user. Summary of the invention

130. Determine, according to the frequency band configuration information of the terminal, a disabled frequency segment corresponding to the location information.

140, determining whether the first frequency band belongs to the disabled frequency band, and if so, proceeds to step 150, and if not, proceeds to step 160;

150. reject the setting corresponding to the instruction;

The terminal rejects the setting corresponding to the received user's instruction, and the corresponding setting refers to: setting the first frequency band as the frequency band allowed by the terminal. The setting corresponding to the instruction is rejected, that is, the terminal refuses to set the first frequency band to the frequency band allowed by the terminal, that is, the terminal does not accept or does not perform the setting corresponding to the instruction.

160. Set the first frequency band to a frequency band that is allowed to be used by the terminal.

The method provided by the present embodiment can automatically detect the validity of the frequency band setting of the user on the terminal according to the location of the terminal, and prevent the terminal from using the terminal in an unreasonable setting of the frequency band of the terminal. The frequency band that is not allowed to be used is also not required to be judged by the network side, which reduces the consumption of network-side system resources and reduces the network operation cost.
