The number consists of a decimal point.

It should be noted that, since different mobile communication service operators have different base stations, when users using different mobile communication service operators enter the same area, some users' mobile terminals may make calls, and some may The user's mobile terminal cannot make a call. For example, when a user carries a mobile terminal to enter the subway, the mobile terminal of the Chinese telecom operator may have a signal to make a call, and the mobile terminal using the Chinese mobile operator has no signal, so the calculation of statistics is required separately, and therefore, The communication carrier information used by the mobile terminal is transmitted to the server.

For example, the prompting method of the mobile terminal in the embodiment of the present application may be installed on the mobile terminal of the user in the form of an application, and the application may be triggered when the communication signal of the mobile terminal changes, and the application may be moved by the mobile terminal.

For example, the starting coordinate position of the mobile terminal can be obtained by the GPS of the mobile terminal first, and then the GPS function can be started at a certain time, and the current coordinate position is located in real time, and finally, the coordinate positions are brought together. This makes it possible to obtain the movement trajectory of the mobile terminal.

S203. Determine, according to the current location information and the movement trajectory, whether the mobile terminal is close to the signal blind spot area.

Specifically, first, the moving direction of the mobile terminal can be acquired according to the movement trajectory of the mobile terminal. Thereafter, the signal blind spot map may be queried according to the current location information, wherein the signal blind spot map may include a plurality of signal blind spot regions. Then, when the moving direction of the mobile terminal points to a signal blind spot area of the plurality of signal blind spot areas, and the distance between the current position information and the blind spot area of the signal is less than a preset distance, it may be determined whether the mobile terminal is close to the signal blind spot. region.

Or the outgoing call can be; the second preset state can be that the communication signal is 0 and/or the communication signal is weak, which can be understood as the mobile terminal cannot access and/or place the call at this time.

For example, when the signal of the sample mobile terminal becomes 0 and/or the signal strength is weak, that is, when the sample mobile terminal cannot access and/or make a call, the GPS function can be located through the sample mobile terminal. The current geographic location of the sample mobile terminal; when the signal of the sample mobile terminal is no longer 0 and/or the signal strength becomes stronger, that is, the state of being inaccessible and/or outgoing is changed to be able to access and/or dial the call state. At this time, the current geographic location of the sample mobile terminal can be located by the GPS function at this time. In this way, the paired geographical location information is collected as a valid one. When the sample mobile terminal can connect to the network, the geographic location information and the communication carrier information of the sample mobile terminal can be uploaded to the server, so that the sample mobile terminal can be obtained. The signal changes position point.

S302: Generate a signal blind spot map according to the signal change position point.

Specifically, a blind spot map of a mobile terminal signal of a certain communication operator may be drawn through a plurality of pairs of signal change position points.

When the location information uploaded by the sample mobile terminal B is [0, 1], there is no signal, when [5, 5] Signal, the location information uploaded by the sample mobile terminal C is [0, 5] No signal, [5,0] has a signal, etc., where the location information is also composed of latitude and longitude with a decimal point; as described above, all the location information uploaded by multiple sample mobile terminals is plotted as a point On the map, you can generate a blind spot map of the signal, and when you click this point, you can draw it into [0,0][5,0][0,5][5,5]. This rectangle is the blind spot area of the signal. Therefore, the signal blind spot map can be obtained according to the signal change position point of the plurality of sample mobile terminals, so that when the mobile terminal is about to enter the signal blind spot area shown in the signal blind spot map, the prompt can be issued in advance to alert the user. .

Further, in an embodiment of the present application, after generating the signal blind spot map according to the signal change location point, the method further includes: providing the signal blind spot map to the corresponding mobile communication service operator. Thereby, the mobile communication service operator can complete its own signal transmitting device according to the signal blind spot map, so that the mobile communication signal is more comprehensively covered.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the mobile terminal may obtain its current location information, and may receive prompt information fed back by the server, so that the mobile terminal reminds the user that the blind spot area is approaching. In addition, the mobile terminal can also detect its own communication signal, and can prompt the user when the signal changes.

To this end, the present application also proposes a prompting method for a mobile terminal. FIG. 5 is a flowchart of a prompting method of a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present application.

As shown in FIG. 5, the prompting method of the mobile terminal may include:

S501. Acquire current location information of the mobile terminal, and send the information to the server.

Preferably, in an embodiment of the present application, the current location information may include location information (such as geographic coordinates, etc.) where the mobile terminal is located, an ID of the mobile terminal, and the like, where the location information may be composed of digits with a decimal point composed of latitude and longitude. .

It should be noted that, since different mobile communication service operators have different base stations, when users using different mobile communication service operators enter the same area, some users' mobile terminals may make calls, and some may The user's mobile terminal cannot make a call. For example, when a user carries a mobile terminal to enter the subway, the mobile terminal of the Chinese telecom operator may have a signal to make a call, and the mobile terminal using the Chinese mobile operator has no signal, so it is required The statistics are calculated separately, so it is also necessary to obtain the communication carrier information used by the mobile terminal itself.

For example, the prompting method of the mobile terminal in the embodiment of the present application may be installed on the mobile terminal of the user in the form of an application, and the application may be triggered when the communication signal of the mobile terminal changes, and the application may be moved by the mobile terminal. The GPS function provided on the terminal locates the current geographic location of the mobile terminal, and then the current location information of the mobile terminal and the communication carrier information used by the mobile terminal are sent to the server through the application.

S502: Receive first prompt information that is sent by the server, where the server sends the first prompt information when the mobile terminal determines that the mobile terminal is close to the blind spot area of the signal according to the current location information.

Specifically, after receiving the current location information sent by the mobile terminal and the communication carrier information used by the mobile terminal, the server may first find a signal blind spot area corresponding to the communication carrier according to the communication carrier information, and then according to the current location. The information is used to determine whether the mobile terminal is close to the signal blind spot area of the communication carrier. When it is determined that the mobile terminal is close to the signal blind spot area, the server may send the first prompt information to the mobile terminal, and the mobile terminal receives the first prompt of the server feedback. After the information, the user can be reminded by voice or vibration, etc. that the mobile terminal is about to be in a state of being unable to answer and/or make a call, so that the user can prepare for the situation in advance.

Further, in an embodiment of the present application, before the server determines that the mobile terminal is close to the signal blind spot area according to the current location information, the method may further include: acquiring a mobile trajectory of the mobile terminal, and sending the trajectory to the server, so that the server is configured according to the current location information. And the moving track judges that the mobile terminal is close to the blind spot area of the signal. It should be understood that the mobile terminal movement trajectory can be understood as the motion trajectory of the user carrying the mobile terminal.

Specifically, the mobile terminal can acquire the movement track of the mobile terminal by using the GPS function provided on the mobile terminal. For example, the mobile terminal may first acquire the starting coordinate position of the mobile terminal through its own GPS, and then start the GPS function at a certain time, and locate the current coordinate position in real time, and finally, the coordinate positions are brought together. This makes it possible to obtain the movement trajectory of the mobile terminal. Therefore, the server can determine the proximity point of the mobile terminal close to the signal according to the current location information and the movement trajectory, thereby improving the accuracy of the prompt.

According to an embodiment of the present application, the method may further include: detecting a signal of the mobile terminal; changing when the signal of the mobile terminal changes from the first preset state to the second preset state or from the second preset state to the first preset state At the same time, the location information of the mobile terminal is obtained and sent to the server.

For example, the mobile terminal may first detect the signal of the mobile terminal, and when the signal becomes 0 and/or the signal strength is weak, that is, when the mobile terminal cannot access and/or make a call, the GPS function may be adopted. Locating the current geographic location of the mobile terminal; when the signal of the mobile terminal is no longer 0 and/or the signal strength is strong, that is, changing from being unable to access and/or dialing the call state to being able to access and/or dial the call In the state, the current geographic location of the mobile terminal can be located by the GPS function at this time. In this way, the paired geographical location information is used as a valid mobile phone, and when the mobile terminal can connect to the network, the geographical location information and the communication carrier information of the mobile terminal can be uploaded to the server. Thereby, the server can obtain the signal change position point of the mobile terminal, and can generate a signal blind spot map according to the signal change position point.

According to an embodiment of the present application, after detecting the signal of the mobile terminal, the method further includes: sending, when the signal of the mobile terminal changes from the first preset state to the second preset state, sending the second prompt information to the user of the mobile terminal. . It should be understood that the first prompt information may be the reminder information sent by the server to the mobile terminal, and the second prompt information in this embodiment may be the reminder information sent by the mobile terminal to the user.

That is to say, when the signal changes from full to zero, and/or the signal strength changes from very strong to weak, that is, when the mobile terminal changes from being able to make a call to a state in which the call cannot be made, it can be voiced or vibrated.
