Description

移动终端及无线通信模块 技术领域
本申请涉及移动通信领域。
背景技术
对于目前的智能手机而言，所有的通信模块都是内置在手机中的，或者说智能手机都是将所有的功能集成到一套芯片中的。一个典型的4G(第四代移动通信系统)智能手机的通信模块包括，多种模式的4G通信模块，WIFI通信模块，蓝牙模块，近场通信(Near Field Communication，简称“NFC”)模块等等。
本发明的发明人发现，随着移动通信技术的发展，新制式的无线通信功能不断增加，在智能手机中到底集成多少制式的无线通信功能，就成为一个急需解决的问题。如果要在一个智能手机中集成所有制式的无线通信功能，必然导致成本的大大增加。如果在智能手机中只集成一部分常用制式的无线通信功能，又会因为功能缺失而大大限制智能手机的应用场景。智能手机生产商既需要能在一个智能手机中集成尽量多的无线通信功能以适用于尽量多的用户，又需要在一个智能手机中集成尽量少的无线通信功能以节约成本，这个技术矛盾一直无法解决。
发明内容
本申请的目的在于提供一种移动终端及无线通信模块，以解决成本和应用范围之间的矛盾。
为了解决上述问题，本申请公开了一种移动终端，包括一个主机和至少一个可插拔的无线通信模块；
该主机包括至少一个预留的物理接口；
该主机和该无线通信模块通过该物理接口连接。
在一优选例中，该无线通信模块用于为该移动终端提供与外部无线网络通信的功能。
在一优选例中，该无线通信模块包括至少一种无线通信制式的基带和/或射频处理单元。

在一优选例中，该移动终端是智能手机或平板电脑。
在一优选例中，该无线通信模块是NB-IOT模块或V2X模块。
在一优选例中，一个无线通信功能对应一个预留物理接口和一个无线通信模块。
在一优选例中，多个无线通信功能对应同一个预留物理接口和同一个无线通信模块。
本申请还公开了一种移动终端主机，包括至少一个预留的物理接口，该物理接口用于与至少一个可插拔的无线通信模块连接。
本申请还公开了一种无线通信模块，采用可插拔设计，用于连接到移动终端主机的预留物理接口。
本申请实施方式与现有技术相比，至少具有以下区别和效果：
把可选的无线通信功能封装在可插拔的无线通信模块中，在移动终端的主机上预留符合行业标准的物理接口以用于连接无线通信模块，主机只要插上特定的无线通信模块就可以马上拥有特定的无线通信功能。既降低了主机的成本，又能够根据应用场景的需要，灵活地实现各种各样的额外的无线通信。
本申请的说明书中记载了大量的技术特征，分布在各个技术方案中，如果要罗列出本申请所有可能的技术特征的组合(即技术方案)的话，会使得说明书过于冗长。为了避免这个问题，本申请上述发明内容中公开的各个技术特征、在下文各个实施方式和实施方式中公开的各技术特征、以及附图中公开的各个技术特征，都可以自由地互相组合，从而构成各种新的技术方案(这些技术方案均因视为在本说明书中已经记载)，除非这种技术特征的组合在技术上是不可行的。例如，在一个例子中公开了特征A+B+C，在另一个例子中公开了特征A+B+D+E，而特征C和D是起到相同作用的等同技术手段，技术上只要择一使用即可，不可能同时采用，特征E技术上可以与特征C相组合，则，A+B+C+D的方案因技术不可行而应当不被视为已经记载，而A+B+C+E的方案应当视为已经被记载。
附图说明
