Description

Search network control method, search network control device and terminal

Technical field

The present invention relates to the field of terminal technologies, and in particular, to a search network control method, a search network control device, and a terminal.

Background technique

At this stage, the combination of mobile networks is more complicated and can be roughly classified into 2/3/4G networks. Most mobile terminals basically support all the above-mentioned networks, but the network coverage of each system is different, for example, when the terminal is at In a certain location area, the 4G coverage of the location area is not good, the 2/3G coverage is good, or it is possible that all the standard networks are not covered in this location area. In the related art, when the terminal is off the network (may be 2G off-network, or 4G off-network, or may be off-net), a full-frequency search or an intermittent full-frequency search is performed to expect Search the network and register to the network to restore the normal function of the terminal. However, this type of search has the following problems:

1. When the terminal searches the network, the radio frequency is always in the maximum power running state, and when the terminal is always in the off-network environment, the network will continue to search continuously, which will lead to an increase in the power consumption of the terminal, and the battery life is significantly reduced.

2. The background search or full-frequency search of the terminal without interruption can also affect the normal development of some current services.

3. When the location of the terminal changes, from the area with poor network coverage to the area with good network coverage, if the terminal is in the intermittent period of network search, the network recovery will be slower, which will affect the user experience.

Therefore, how to make the terminal minimize power consumption during off-network, improve the experience caused by frequent network switching, and quickly re-access the network when entering the network coverage area becomes a technical problem to be solved urgently.

Summary of the invention

The present invention is based on at least one of the above technical problems, and proposes a new search network control party. In the case, the search network can be adjusted in time according to the change of the position of the terminal, so that the terminal can reduce the power consumption when the network is off the network, and can quickly re-access the network after entering the network coverage area, thereby increasing the user's use.

By judging the change of the location of the terminal, it provides guarantee for the subsequent adjustment of the search mode based on the location change. Preferably, the criterion for determining whether the location of the terminal changes is divided into a first threshold and a second threshold, and the determination may be performed by dividing the threshold into a plurality of thresholds according to actual requirements.
