技术领域
本申请涉及通信技术领域,尤其涉及一种网络接入设备安装信息获取方法及装置。
背景技术
客户前置设备(customer premise equipment,CPE)是一种可以将蜂窝信号转换为以太网信号/无线保真(wireless fidelity,Wi-Fi)信号的设备,能够为其他终端设备提供接入互联网的业务,被广泛应用在人员分布较为稀疏的农村、城镇、医院、单位以及工厂等区域。在这些区域内安装一个CPE后,区域内的终端设备就可以通过CPE接入互联网,从而节省为这些人员分布稀疏的区域专门铺设有线网络来接入互联网的费用。
现有技术中,由于CPE的安装位置、安装方向和角度直接影响了接收蜂窝信号的强度,而信号强度越大CPE接收的蜂窝信号的质量越高,进而影响CPE向终端设备提供的互联网服务的质量,因此不具备相关知识的用户在使用CPE之前,需要聘请专业的安装人员携带专业测试设备,在需要安装CPE的区域内进行蜂窝信号的测量,最终确定区域内所接收的蜂窝信号强度最大的位置作为CPE的安装位置点。
因此,现有技术中,用户在购买CPE之后并不能立即使用,还需要聘请专业的安装人员进行安装,并等待安装人员的上门服务,使得用户在使用CPE之前的安装过程中所耗费的时间成本、人工成本较高。
发明内容
本申请提供一种网络接入设备安装信息获取方法及装置,以克服现有技术中CPE等网络接入设备安装过程中耗费时间成本、人工成本较高的技术问题。

图1为本申请所应用的技术背景的示意图,其中,本申请所针对的网络接入设备是一种可以将蜂窝信号转换为以太网信号/无线保真(wireless fidel ity,Wi-Fi)信号的设备,能够为其他终端设备提供接入互联网的业务。基于网络接入设备可以安装在室外并通过接收蜂窝信号提供互联网业务的特点,被广泛应用于人员分布较为稀疏的农村、城镇、医院、单位以及工厂等区域,这些区域在安装一台网络接入设备后, 区域内的终端设备就可以通过网络接入设备接入互联网,从而节省为这些人员分布稀疏的区域专门铺设有线网络来接入互联网的费用。可选地,网络接入设备可以是客户前置设备(customer premise equipment,CPE),智能手机、中继设备、无线路由器等可以接收基站的蜂窝信号、并将蜂窝信号转换成以太网信号/Wi-Fi信号的电子设备。为了便于理解,本申请各实施例中以网络接入设备为CPE作为示例性的说明,而非对网络接入设备的具体实现进行限定。
例如,在图1所示的一种CPE的应用场景A中,CPE2可以接收基站1的蜂窝信号,并将蜂窝信号转换为以太网信号,通过以太网线将以太网信号发送至路由器3,路由器3为接入该路由器3的多个终端设备4提供互联网服务。或者,在图1所示的另一种CPE的应用场景B中,CPE2可以具备路由器的相关功能,则CPE2在接收基站1的蜂窝信号后,可以将蜂窝信号转换为Wi-Fi信号,并提供Wi-Fi热点,直接向接入CPE2提供的Wi-Fi热点的多个终端设备4提供互联网服务。其中,所述蜂窝信号又可被称为蜂窝网络(cellular network)信号、移动网络(mobile network)信号等,常见的蜂窝网络包括:全球移动通信系统(global system for mobile communications,GSM/2G)通信网络、第三代(third generation,3G)通信网络、长期演进(long term evolution,LTE/4G)通信网络以及第五代移动通信技术(5th generation mobile networks、5th generation wireless systems或者5th-Generation,5G)通信网络等。
由于CPE接收的蜂窝信号的质量直接影响CPE向终端设备提供的互联网服务的质量,因此CPE需要设置在提供蜂窝信号的基站覆盖范围内才能使用,而当CPE在多个基站的覆盖范围内时,还可以确定CPE所接收的蜂窝信号最强的基站,并将CPE的接收方向朝向该基站设置,以最大化CPE所能够接收到的蜂窝信号的强度;所述CPE的接收方向可以是CPE的接收天线所朝向的方向,CPE能够在其接收天线所朝向的方向上接收蜂窝信号;CPE的接收方向也可以是CPE的接收波束方向图所朝向的方向。
图2为一种CPE的安装过程的示意图,如图2所示,当用户61需要在区域5内安装一个CPE,区域5在基站11、基站12和基站13共3个基站的覆盖范围内,但是用户并不能确定附近基站的距离,也并不知道每个基站的方位或基站所承载小区的发射波束方向,从而无法确定CPE的最佳安装位置以及安装角度。此时用户61为了安装CPE,就需要聘请专业的安装人员62携带专业的测试设备63在区域5内对来自不同基站的蜂窝信号的强度以及发射波束等参数进行检测,最终确定当CPE安装在区域5内的位置点64处、并将CPE的接收方向朝向基站11设置时,能够接收到的蜂窝信号强度最大。
然而,在如图2所示的CPE安装过程中,用户在购买CPE之后并不能立即使用,还需要聘请专业的安装人员进行检测与安装,并等待安装人员的上门服务,使得用户在使用CPE之前的安装过程中所耗费的时间成本、人工成本较高。
因此,为了减少用户在安装CPE等设备时所耗费的时间成本、人工成本,本申请提供一种安装信息获取方法及装置,使得用户能够在不聘请安装人员的情况下也可以获取设备的安装信息,并根据设备的安装信息自行安装设备。本申请所提供的方法, 可用于获取CPE、智能手机、中继站、无线路由器等设备的安装或摆放信息,从而在获取接收信号最强的方向后,以用于将这些设备放置在对应的合适的位置和/或方向。
图3为本申请提供的一种CPE安装过程的示意图,在图3中,当用户61需要在区域5内安装第二设备2时,用户61可以使用随身携带的第一设备4直接获取该第二设备2的安装信息,其中,所获取的第二设备2的安装信息可以是第一设备4从第三设备6获得的。所述第二设备2的安装信息包括区域5内的位置点64的绝对位置信息(比如经纬度数据)、相对位置信息(比如相对于某指定点的距离、角度等),以及第二设备2接收基站的蜂窝信号时的接收方向朝向基站11时设置的角度等信息中的一种或多种。随后,用户61就可以根据第一设备4所获取的第二设备2安装信息,将第二设备2安装在区域5内的位置点64处、并将第二设备2的接收方向朝向基站11设置,实现将第二设备2安装到接收到的蜂窝信号强度最大的位置。在这个过程中,并不需要如图2中的安装人员62,也不需要相关专业的测试设备63的检测,用户61凭借随身携带的手机等第一设备4从第三设备6获取第二设备2的安装信息后,就可以根据第二设备2安装信息进行安装,从而减少了用户在使用第二设备2之前所消耗的时间成本和人工成本,提高用户的使用体验。
可选地,本申请实施例中的第一设备4可以是手机、平板电脑、笔记本电脑等用户能够随身携带的电子设备,所述电子设备又可被称为终端设备;所述第二设备2可以是CPE、智能手机、中继设备、无线路由器等可以接收基站的蜂窝信号的网络设备或者网络中继设备等网络接入设备,所述第三设备6可以是第二设备2的安装信息的提供商设置在网络侧的电脑、服务器、工作站,或者其他具有计算、存储和通信能力的设备等设备,所述第三设备又可被称为网络设备。
下面结合附图,以网络接入设备为CPE作为示例,对本申请提供的网络接入设备(以CPE为示例)安装信息的获取方法具体的实现过程进行说明,下面这几个具体的实施例可以相互结合,对于相同或相似的概念或过程可能在某些实施例不再赘述。并且可以理解的是,本申请各实施例中作为示例的CPE,均可被等效替换为其他任一种网络接入设备,且替换后本申请各实施例的实现方式与原理均保持不变。
图4为本申请提供的CPE安装信息获取方法一实施例的流程示意图,该方法可应用于如图3所示的过程中,如图4示出了图3中第一设备4从第三设备6获取第二设备2的安装信息过程中第一设备4与第三设备6的交互,本实施例中,以第一设备4为用户随身携带的手机等终端设备、第二设备2为CPE、第三设备6为第一服务器为例进行说明,而非对其进行限定,其中,第二设备2还可以是其他任意需要安装的设备,终端设备可以通过基站提供的蜂窝网络与第一服务器通信。具体地,如图4实施例提供的CPE安装信息获取方法包括:
S10、终端设备向第一服务器发送CPE安装信息获取请求,其中,所述CPE安装信息获取请求可用于向第一服务器请求获取待安装的CPE的安装信息。本实施例对CPE安装信息获取请求的具体实现不做限定,该请求可以通过携带在终端设备向第一服务器发送的消息中的预设比特位实现,记为第一信息。
具体地,用户在使用CPE之前需要对CPE进行安装时,可以通过随身携带的终端 设备向第一服务器发送CPE安装信息获取请求,来请求获取用户所使用的CPE的安装信息。为了使得第一服务器能够更加准确地确定CPE的安装信息,所述CPE安装信息获取请求中可以包括用于指示当前终端设备所在的位置的位置信息,或者还可以包括待安装的CPE的属性信息,所述位置信息可以是终端设备所在位置的定位数据,该定位数据通过经纬度表示;所述位置信息还可以是终端设备所驻留或所接入的小区信息,该小区信息通过小区标识符表示(例如Cell Global Identifier,小区全局标识)
可选地,在另一种实施例中,所述CPE的属性信息可以包括位置信息和携带CPE的标识信息;所述CPE的标识信息例如:CPE的序列号、移动设备国际识别码(international mobile equipment identity,IMEI)等能够标识CPE的信息,则当第一服务器接收到CPE安装信息获取请求后,可以根据CPE安装信息获取请求中的CPE的标识信息进一步确定CPE的属性信息。从而减少了CPE安装信息获取请求中携带的信息量,提高终端设备和第一服务器的通信效率。
S11、第一服务器确定CPE安装信息。
具体地,当第一服务器接收到终端设备在S10中发送的CPE安装获取请求后,根据该请求确定终端设备的用户所安装的设备的安装信息,所述CPE安装信息用于指示以下至少一项:所述CPE的安装位置、CPE的安装角度和基站所在的位置等。物理上的基站可能包括一个或多个逻辑上的小区,每个小区在一个PLMN范围内有唯一的小区标识,覆盖蜂窝小区的信号由基站发射,因此确定每个小区的信号源位置即确定承载该小区的基站位置。例如,在一个示例中,第一服务器可以根据CPE安装获取请求中CPE所支持的PLMN信息确定可以向CPE提供蜂窝信号的小区或基站,并根据CPE安装获取请求中所请求的位置信息,确定在终端设备当前位置北侧10m处,以北偏西45度方向安装时,CPE能够接收到来自终端设备所处位置附近特定小区或基站的蜂窝信号强度最大。在另一个示例中,第一服务器可以根据CPE安装获取请求中CPE所支持的PLMN确定可以向CPE提供蜂窝信号的小区或基站,并根据CPE安装获取请求中携带的位置信息,确定在终端设备当前位置处,朝向以北偏西45度方向安装时,CPE能够接收到来自终端设备所处位置附近特定小区或基站的蜂窝信号强度最大。在另一个示例中,第一服务器可以根据CPE安装获取请求中CPE所支持的PLMN确定可以向CPE提供蜂窝信号的小区或基站,并根据CPE安装获取请求中携带的位置信息,确定在终端设备当前位置处,CPE能够接收的蜂窝信号强度最大的小区或基站的位置,所述小区或基站的位置可以是绝对地理位置或者是相对于终端设备的相对地理位置。在另一个示例中,第一服务器可以根据CPE安装获取请求中CPE所支持的PLMN信息和CPE的一种或多种属性信息(例如CPE所支持的RAT类型)确定可以向CPE提供蜂窝信号的小区或基站。
S12、第一服务器向终端设备发送CPE安装信息。
随后,第一服务器向终端设备发送其在S11中所确定CPE安装信息。
可选地,在一种可能的方式中,可能会同时有两个或者更多终端设备向第一服务器请求获取同一个CPE的安装信息,则第一服务器在S10接收到终端设备发送的CPE安装信息获取请求后,在S11-S12之前还可以确定是否有其他终端设备也发送了CPE安装信息获取请求,若否,则继续执行S11-S12;若是,则第一服务器可选择一个发 送CPE安装信息获取请求的终端中选择一个终端来回复上述请求信息,例如,第一服务器可按照接收到CPE安装信息获取请求的先后顺序,选择最先收到的获取请求,依次执行S11-S12,从而根据选定的终端设备的CPE安装信息获取请求确定CPE安装信息。
S13、终端设备在显示界面上显示CPE安装信息。
具体地,当终端设备接收到第一服务器所返回的CPE安装信息后,可以在终端设备显示界面上显示CPE安装信息,使得终端设备的用户通过显示界面能够看到CPE安装信息,并根据CPE安装信息的指示,以合适的位置和接收方向的角度自行完成CPE的安装。
可选地,在S13中终端设备还可以通过其他方式向用户输出所接收到的CPE安装信息,例如,终端设备可以通过扬声器,播放CPE安装信息的语音;或者,终端设备还可以通过增强显示(augmented reality,AR)、虚拟现实(virtual reality,VR)等人工智能(artificial intelligence,AI)的方式,在三维空间内向用户显示CPE安装信息。
因此,在整个CPE安装的过程中,用户可以自行通过随身携带的手机等终端设备发送CPE安装信息获取请求后,即可根据终端设备的显示界面上所显示的CPE安装信息的指示,确定CPE安装信息。当用户根据这些CPE安装信息完成CPE的安装后,CPE可以实现在用户所需要安装的区域内所接收到的蜂窝信号强度最大,从而尽可能地保证CPE的通信质量。与现有技术中相比,用户可以自行完成CPE的安装,尤其是安装过程中对于安装位置、安装角度的选择,从而不再需要用户如图2所示安装方式中,必须聘请专业操作人员才能够完成CPE的安装,进而节省了用户在使用CPE之前安装CPE时所消耗的时间成本和人工成本,提高了使用CPE的用户在安装CPE时的用户体验。
进一步地,在上述实施例中,由于终端设备需要在CPE安装信息获取请求中携带终端设备的位置信息以及CPE的属性信息,因此,图5为本申请提供的安装信息获取方法一实施例的流程示意图,如图5所示的实施例在图4的基础上,终端设备在S10向第一服务器发送CPE安装信息获取请求之前,还可以通过S21确定CPE的属性信息,并通过S22确定位置信息。
其中,所述CPE属性信息包括如表1所示的至少一种:CPE所使用的用户身份识别模块(subscriber identity module,SIM)卡所归属的公共陆地移动网络(public land mobile network,PLMN)信息、CPE所在位置的跟踪区域码(tracking area code,TAC)、CPE所支持的无线接入技术(radio access technology,RAT)类型、CPE的设备型号和CPE的能力参数(例如CPE关键能力)等。
表1

Figure PCTCN2021079219-appb-000002
具体地,PLMN可以是CPE的SIM卡所属的运营商信息,CPE可连接对应运营商的基站收发信号,例如CPE在使用时接收运营商1的基站发送的蜂窝信号或者运营商2的基站发送的蜂窝信号;按照ITU-T的规定,PLMN由移动国家代码(Mobile Country Code,MCC)和移动网络代码(Mobile Network Code,MNC)组成,其中移动国家代码由3位十进制数字表示,移动网络代码由2位或3位十进制数字表示。例如,PLMN为46000表示中国区域的一个运营商网络。RAT类型可以是2G、3G、4G、5G或下一代移动通信系统等通信模式;CPE关键能力可以是CPE能力参数的一部分,例如CPE所支持的频段band、支持的频点或者CPE是否支持4G无线接入网与5G NR的双连接(EUTRA-NR dual connection,EN-DC)功能等。跟踪区域(tracking area),简称TAC或者TA,指终端设备可以进行通信(寻呼、位置更新等)的区域,运营商将不同的终端设备划分不同的TAC后,能够便于均衡负载和TAC位置更新信令流程,更易于管理与控制,因此不同运营商的终端设备可能会划分为不同的TAC,当CPE的属性信息中包括CPE的TAC时,第一服务器可以从信号指纹信息中搜索与CPE的TAC对应的信号指纹信息,缩小了搜索信号指纹信息的范围。所述CPE的能力参数(capability)至少包括:频段范围、功率等级、是否支持CA、支持的安全算法等,本申请所述的CPE关键能力可以是上述能力参数中的部分,例如,可以将CPE的频段范围作为CPE关键能力。更为具体地,上述CPE的PLMN、RAT类型、TAC、CPE关键能力等属性信息可用于第一服务器确定CPE可以使用的小区或基站的信号指纹信息,或者确定CPE可使用的承载小区的基站(详见图12和图13所示的实施例)。
可选地,携带在CPE安装信息获取请求中的CPE的属性信息可以由CPE的图形识别码(如二维码)提供,其或者可以由终端设备的用户输入,或者由终端设备通过网络从特定服务器上获取。或者,通过上述至少两种方式组合获得,例如:部分属性信息由终端设备的用户输入,部分属性信息通过终端设备扫描CPE的图形识别码获得。示例性地,CPE的二维码可以提供CPE的RAT类型和CPE关键能力等属性信息,而CPE所使用的PLMN由于涉及不同运营商提供的服务以及计费等需求,需要用户进行选择。另一个示例中,CPE的二维码可以关联到提供CPE的RAT类型和CPE关键能力等属性信息的互联网链接,进而可以通过互联网链接获得上述属性信息,而CPE所使用的PLMN由于涉及不同运营商提供的服务以及计费等需求,需要用户进行选择。
更为具体地,为了使用户拿到CPE后,更加直接地获取CPE的属性信息,CPE的图形识别码可以印刷或者粘贴在CPE上,或者,印刷在CPE的说明书、包装盒等位置;或者由销售商通过网络发送给用户。上述的图形识别码可以是CPE的供应商提供的, 其中,在一种可能的实现方式中,图形识别码中携带了CPE的属性信息;例如,当CPE的属性信息中,PLMN是“46000”,则CPE的供应商可以使用二维码生成器等工具,生成携带“46000”这五个数字的二维码,后续用户使用终端设备扫描二维码后,终端设备可以从二维码中获取“46000”的信息;或者,在另一种可能的实现方式中,图像识别码中携带了CPE的属性信息所存储的地址,例如,CPE的供应商将CPE的属性信息存储在设置在互联网中的服务器内,并通过二维码生成器等工具,根据该服务器的地址“192.168.xxx.xxx”(说明:xxx为不确定的泛指之意)生成二维码,后续用户使用终端设备扫描二维码后,终端设备可以从二维码中获取服务器的地址,并进一步根据获取的地址访问互联网中的服务器,进而获取服务器中存储的CPE的属性信息。
例如,当CPE的属性信息由二维码携带时,图6为本申请实施例提供的终端设备的显示界面一实施例的示意图,图6示出了用户操作终端设备通过二维码获取CPE属性信息的一种具体实现,其中,终端设备安装有可发送CPE安装信息获取请求的应用程序“智慧生活”,所述应用程序可以是安卓安装包(android package,APK)。则在如图6所示的显示界面1A中,用户可以通过点击显示界面上“智慧生活”应用程序的图标开启该应用程序。并在随后的显示界面1B中,用户可以通过点击应用程序的显示界面内的“扫一扫”,调用终端设备的摄像头。在显示界面1C中,用户将终端设备的摄像头对准待安装的CPE的二维码进行扫描,使得终端设备通过该二维码得到用户需要安装的CPE的属性信息,实现S21中终端设备获取CPE的属性信息。图7为本申请实施例提供的终端设备的显示界面一实施例的示意图,其中,示出了另一种用户操作终端设备通过二维码获取CPE属性信息的具体实现,可以作为如图6所示的显示界面1A-1C的等价替换方案,终端设备安装有微信、支付宝等具有“扫一扫”功能的应用程序,则在如图7所示的显示界面1A’中,用户可以通过点击显示界面上“微信”应用程序,并在随后的显示界面1B’中,用户可以通过点击微信显示界面内的“扫一扫”,调用终端设备的摄像头。在显示界面1C’中,用户将终端设备的摄像头对准待安装的CPE的二维码进行扫描,同样可以使得终端设备通过该二维码得到用户需要安装的CPE的属性信息。
可选地,具体地,在图6所示的实例中,终端设备在S10向第一服务器发送CPE安装信息获取请求之前,还可以通过S22确定终端设备的位置信息,由于用户在安装CPE之前使用终端设备获取CPE的安装信息,因此终端设备的位置信息能够用于表示用户计划安装CPE的区域的地理位置。其中,终端设备可以通过调用其内部的全球定位系统(global positioning system,GPS)接收模块或者北斗信号接收模块,确定当前终端设备所在位置的经纬度数据;或者,终端设备还可以通过接收到的Wi-Fi信号确定终端设备当前所在的位置信息;或者,终端设备还可以通过接收到的蜂窝信号确定当前所在的位置信息;或者终端设备可以通过接收到的Wi-Fi信号、蓝牙信号、超宽带(ultra wideband,UWB)信号、其他短距离通信信号以及蜂窝信号中的一种或多种信号组合确定当前所在的位置信息。
所述位置信息可以通过用户所使用的终端设备当前所在的位置点的地理位置(例如,经纬度数据表示的地理位置)为圆心、半径为R的圆形区域,此时,所述位置信息可以是终端设备在发送CPE安装信息获取请求之前调用终端设备中相关的定位模块 获取的,或者所述位置信息还可以是终端设备的用户输入的、或者还可以是终端设备提前确定并存储的;或者,所述位置信息可以是用由两个或四个位置点的经纬度数据表示的矩形区域,此时,所述位置信息还可以是终端设备的用户输入的、或者还可以是终端设备提前确定并存储的。此外,所述位置信息可以仅包含用户所使用的终端设备当前所在的位置点的地理位置信息,而半径R由网络侧设备提前确定并存储,半径R不在所述位置信息中传输。本申请实施例对用户希望安装CPE的位置的具体形状以及表示方式不作限定。如图3所示实施例中以用户希望安装CPE的位置为圆形区域作为示例性说明。
进一步地,在如图4或图5的实施例中,S21和S22不分先后,或者可以由终端设备同时执行,则当终端设备通过S21获得CPE的属性信息、通过S22获得位置信息后,即可向第一服务器发送CPE安装信息获取请求,并在CPE安装信息获取请求中携带CPE的属性信息以及位置信息。
例如,在如图6所示的实现方式中,终端设备在图6所示的显示界面1C扫描二维码之后,即可向第一服务器发送CPE安装信息获取请求。随后,终端设备在接收到第一服务器发送的CPE安装信息后,即可在显示界面1D中显示CPE安装信息,例如可以以文字的形式显示CPE的安装位置为北侧10m,以及安装角度为北偏西45度等。也就是说,对于使用终端设备的用户,在通过终端设备的显示界面1C扫描CPE的二维码之后,即可通过终端设备的显示界面1D看到终端设备所显示的CPE的安装信息,终端设备向第一服务器发送CPE安装信息获取请求、接收CPE安装信息等过程对终端设备的用户是不可见的。对于用户的直观的体验是:使用终端设备扫描二维码之后的显示界面上就会直接出现CPE的安装信息。
最终,对于需要安装CPE的用户,即可通过终端设备的显示界面1D中所显示的CPE安装信息,自行完成CPE的安装。例如,若显示界面1D中显示的CPE安装信息包括:CPE的安装位置为北侧10m,以及安装角度为北偏西45度。则用户可以根据CPE安装信息的指示,从其所在的当前的位置出发,向北侧移动10m的位置安装CPE,并将CPE的接收方向朝向北偏西45度的方向,最终完成安装。再例如,若显示界面1D中显示的CPE安装信息仅包括:安装角度为北偏西45度。则用户可以在当前位置最近的窗户外或阳台处或室内外无遮挡的地方选择安装点并将CPE的接收方向朝向北偏西45度的方向,最终完成安装。
可选地,图8为本申请实施例提供的终端设备的显示界面一实施例的示意图,其中,当终端设备通过显示界面1D显示CPE安装信息后,若用户手持终端设备移动到了该安装位置并且将终端设备朝向安装角度后,可以通过如图8所示的显示界面1E,通过对话框等形式显示CPE安装确认信息,通过CPE安装确认信息向用户提示已经移动到达了安装位置,使得用户可以根据显示界面1E上的提示,在当前终端设备所在的位置和终端设备所朝向的角度处安装CPE。
此外,安装信息还可以通过图形等的方式呈现在终端设备的显示界面上。例如,通过指针来指示在当前位置的最佳安装方向;或者通过导航的方式,提示在当前位置处按照提示的线路或指针方向移动到指定位置的导航信息,并显示终端设备的角度到 安装角度之间的旋转信息,使得用户按提示的方向旋转并进行安装。指针可以动态方式来指示,例如,用户保持位置不动平握终端设备且转动终端设备时,指针始终指向地理上的固定位置,以指示当前位置的最佳安装方向。
作为示例,图9为本申请实施例提供的终端设备的显示界面一实施例的示意图,其中,当终端设备通过如图4或5所示方式确定终端设备当前位置A附近的Q点处为最佳安装点,并且朝向基站B所在位置安装后,可以在显示界面3A中显示第一图标,用于指示终端设备所在位置A移动到安装位置Q的移动方向,例如第一图标可以是显示页面3A中的地图上显示当前终端设备所在的位置A以及最佳安装点Q,并显示A点指向Q点的箭头方向,以提示用户向Q点处移动。同时,显示界面3A中还显示第二图标,用于指示终端设备当前所朝向的角度旋转到安装角度的旋转方向,例如可以终端设备的某个指定方向(比如,终端设备平放时的法线方向)作为参考方向,通过显示界面3A中上方的箭头和B点的指示提示用户在终端设备平放时法线对准的方向(例如,与屏幕平行,从话筒到听筒的连线方向所对准的方向),向右侧旋转才能够朝向基站B所在的方向。
随后,当终端设备所在的位置发生了变化,例如当用户移动至Q点处,终端设备还根据位置的变化更新所显示的第一图标,例如终端设备在显示界面3B下方的地图上显示A点与Q点重合,并继续通过箭头提示用户向右旋转以找到CPE的接收方向对准基站B的安装角度。而当终端设备所朝向的角度发生了变化,例如当用户根据箭头的提示将终端设备的法线方向对准基站B的方向后,终端设备同样可以根据角度的变化更新显示页面上的第二图标,例如终端设备在显示界面3C上显示已对准基站B的方向的箭头,提示用户在当前的位置点安装CPE、并以当前终端设备法线方向所朝向的方向作为CPE的接收方向,从而能够实现最佳的安装位置和最佳安装角度,能够最大化CPE能够接收到的蜂窝信号的强度。
又一示例中,图10为本申请实施例提供的终端设备的显示界面一实施例的示意图,其中,终端设备可以根据如图9所示的显示界面上显示的地图,到达推荐的安装位置后,终端设备在如图10所示的显示页面4A中获取在当前安装位置处,CPE朝向基站的安装角度。又或者,若终端设备仅接收到网络设备发送的安装角度,则在如图10所示的显示页面4A中,根据安装角度生成类似于“指南针”形式的图像来指示安装角度。
在显示页面4B中,终端设备的以垂直于显示屏幕的法线方向为基准,根据终端设备的当前朝向方向和基站的位置,通过类似于“指南针”的形式,指示在当前朝向方向(通过图中向上的锥形图标表示)的左前方位置为基站位置(通过图中左上方圆形图标表示),此时图中圆形图标可用于表示基站与终端设备的角度关系,由于终端设备的朝向方向和基站的位置之间有一个夹角,用户可以向左侧旋转终端设备;或者图中基站对应的圆形还可用于表示与终端设备的距离,即,终端设备距离基站越近,圆形图标距离锥形越近;终端设备距离基站越远,圆形图标距离锥形越远。同时,在显示页面4B中还可以通过“北”对应的线条代表指南针实际所指向的北侧。
随后,当用户根据显示页面4B中的指示,向左侧旋转终端设备,对于终端设备在检测到终端设备朝向的方向发生变化时,重新根据基站的位置以及终端设备当前朝向, 对显示页面4B中的图标进行更新,例如终端设备朝左侧旋转时,图中基站对应的圆形图标同步向右侧移动。
最终,当用户旋转终端设备使得当前朝向方向与基站相对时,终端设备在显示页面4C中,当前朝向对应的锥形图标指向了位于正前方的基站对应的运行图标,此时终端设备可以通过变化锥形图标的方式(加深锥形图标的颜色等),或者还可以通过弹出对话框、提示信息等方式,提示用户终端设备当前朝向方向即为推荐的CPE安装角度。可选地,如图10所示的示例中,当终端设备的朝向方向指向基站站的位置时,允许有1°或者更小角度的误差。
可选地,在上述如图6-7所示的实施例中,终端设备可以通过扫描图形识别码的方式,获取CPE的属性信息,而在一些应用场景中,终端可以通过扫描图形识别码获取一部分CPE的属性信息、并通过接收用户的输入数据获取另一部分CPE的属性信息。例如,用户使用CPE时所在位置处在不同的多个运营商提供的基站覆盖范围内,则可以由用户选择的运营商的PLMN,作为CPE属性信息中的PLMN。例如,图11为本申请实施例提供的终端设备的显示界面一实施例的示意图,如图11所示的终端设备通过显示界面1C扫描CPE的二维码,可以得到CPE的RAT类型和CPE关键能力等属性信息,随后,为了得到用户所选择的PLMN,终端设备可以在显示界面2A中显示选择框,让用户对CPE使用的PLMN即运营商进行选择,例如显示界面2A中可以显示常见的“运营商1”和“运营商2”的选择框,以及其他运营商的输入框让用户进行选择或者输入。最终,终端设备可以根据用户在显示界面2A中选择框的点击操作,确定CPE的PLMN。可选地,显示界面2A所显示的“运营商1”和“运营商2”还可以是终端设备根据当前位置基站的覆盖所确定的,即终端设备检测当前的位置处在运营商1的基站以及运营商2的基站的覆盖范围内,则在显示界面2A上显示“运营商1”和“运营商2”的选择框。PLMN还可以通过用户输入SIM卡对应的部分或全部移动用户号码簿号码(Mobile Directory Number,MDN)来获得,例如当用户在显示界面输入138时,终端设备可以通过联网或者通过本地数据库判断该SIM卡对应的PLMN为运营商1。
可选地,在如图11所示的示例中,还示出了终端设备通过调用定位装置如GPS接收模块确定当前位置的经纬度数据作为位置信息,而此时从安全角度出发,终端设备可以通过在显示界面2B中弹出选择框的方式,向用户确定是否允许获取终端设备的位置信息,并在用户点击“是”后,终端设备才能够调用定位装置确定当前位置的经纬度数据。
最终,在如图11所示的示例中,用户使用终端设备通过显示界面1C扫描CPE的二维码之后,还需另通过显示界面2A和/或显示界面2B的操作后,即可在终端设备在显示界面1D上查看所显示的CPE的安装信息。综上,本实施例中可以在终端设备扫描CPE的二维码获取部分CPE的属性信息的基础上,只需要用户对部分信息进行简单的点击选择操作后,就可实现对CPE属性信息以及终端设备位置信息的获取,并在向第一服务器发送的CPE安装信息获取请求中携带属性信息和位置信息,最终通过第一服务器发送的CPE安装信息得到CPE安装信息。因此,在本实施例中,用户通过终端设备就可以自行完成整个CPE的安装,节省了用户在使用CPE之前安装CPE时所消耗的时间成本和人工成本,提高了使用CPE的用户在安装CPE时的用户体验,并且用户可 以根据自己的需要对一些CPE的属性信息进行选择,使得第一服务器能够根据用户的选择确定CPE安装信息,从而提高了所确定的CPE安装信息的准确度,以及用户指定的灵活度。
进一步地,对于本申请上述图4和图5实施例中提供的第一服务器,在接收到终端设备发送的CPE安装信息获取请求之后,可以通过信号指纹信息或者基站位置信息,确定终端设备所请求的CPE安装信息。下面结合附图,对第一服务器确定CPE安装信息的两种方式进行说明,图12为本申请提供的CPE安装信息获取方法一实施例的流程示意图。
具体地,如图12所示的第一种可能的实现方式中,第一服务器在S10接收到终端设备发送的CPE安装信息获取请求之后,通过S111从第二服务器获取满足条件的计算数据,所述计算数据包括终端设备所请求的位置信息预设范围(例如,以终端设备为圆心,半径为1km的圆形区域内)内其他终端设备上报的参考信号接收功率(reference signal receiving power,RSRP)和对应的位置信息。所述第二服务器可以是专门设置的用于存储相关数据的服务器,可记为第四设备,第一服务器与第二服务器之间可以进行通信,或者,第二服务器还可以是第一服务器中的一个模块。第二服务器中存储有不同的终端设备在相同或不同位置所上报的RSRP,其中,能够与第二服务器通信的所有终端设备在获得用户授权的情况下可以向第二服务器上报其位置以及在该位置处测量获得的服务小区或驻留小区或者邻区的RSRP,则第二服务器可以收集到不同的终端设备在相同或不同的位置处所测量的服务小区、驻留小区或者邻区的RSRP。例如,第二服务器中可以存储的数据格式如表2所示,第二服务器中存储由不同的终端设备在N个位置所测量的某个小区的RSRP,每个位置都通过该位置处的经纬度数据表示。所述的信号指纹信息,指基站发出的信号,在不同位置的信号强度(可以用RSPR衡量)大小,也就是基站发出的信号的信息。并且由于每个位置信号强度都可能不同,在一些技术中可以用“指纹”信息来称呼基站的信号在不同位置的强度。即本申请实施例中,可以将第二服务器中存储的对应某个小区的一条“RSRP-位置”的数据记为一条信号指纹信息。

则对于第一服务器,在接收到终端设备发送的CPE安装信息获取请求后,即可从第二服务器中获取满足条件的一个或多个小区的信号指纹信息,所述条件可以通过第一服务器所接收到的CPE安装信息获取请求中的CPE属性信息和终端设备的位置信息进行筛选。例如,图13为本申请提供的一种确定CPE安装信息的示意图,其中,当第一服务器所接收到的CPE安装信息获取请求中携带的位置信息为A点的经纬度数据、以及CPE的属性信息为运营商1时,第一服务器从第二服务器中获取条件为以A点为圆心,在半径为P的圆形区域的预设范围内所有运营商1运营的小区的信号指纹信息, 得到如图13中所示的所有圆点,每个圆点代表该位置处有一条信号指纹,每条信号指纹至少包括位置信息和该位置处测量得到的RSRP值,可用于指示该位置处的信号强度信息。所述半径P可以是规定的数值,或者,半径P还可以是终端设备的用户输入,并携带在CPE安装信息获取请求中发送至第一服务器的。
则当第一服务器从第二服务器获取了如图13所示的在半径为P的圆形区域内所有信号指纹信息后,即可通过不同位置处的RSRP对位置A的来波方向进行估算,进而推测运营商1的基站距离A点的位置与方向。其中,统计意义上来看,距离基站距离越近的位置RSRP值可能越大、距离基站距离越远的位置RSRP值可能越小,基于此,例如第一服务器可以确定在B-A方向上,RSRP依次由远及近的变化规律有“-80dBm”、“-95dBm”和“-98dBm”,该变化规律与基站发射的信号在自由空间损耗模型类似,则可以认为B-A方向上是接近直视路径的来波方向,即A点位置朝向B点处有一个运营商1设置的基站,该基站承载的一个小区所发射的信号可以经由B点传播到A点。相同的原理,第一服务器可以确定图13中B-A方向、C-A方向和D-A方向都是来波方向。随后,第一服务器还可以基于所确定的一个或多个来波方向,进一步确定终端设备在CPE的待安装区域内(例如,在用户希望安装CPE的指定的圆心为A点、半径为R的圆形区域,这部分区域记为指定范围,可能是用户所在的建筑物,指定范围可以在第一服务器确定CPE安装信息之前,由用户通过终端设备发送给第一服务器)的Q点处,接收到来自一个或多个基站的蜂窝信号中,来自B-A方向基站的蜂窝信号的RSRP值最大,因此可以确定CPE的安装位置为Q点,并将CPE在Q点处朝向B点安装的角度作为CPE的安装角度。可选地,所述半径R可以是规定的数值例如10米,或者,半径R还可以是终端设备的用户输入,并携带在CPE安装信息获取请求中发送至第一服务器的。可选地,半径P大于或等于半径R。
可选地,为了更加准确地计算CPE的安装信息中的安装角度,在计算如图13所示的来波方向时,每个来波方向都可以将终端设备的法线方向或者切线方向作为参考方向,使得后续终端设备在接收到第一服务器发送的CPE安装信息后,即可根据该终端设备的参考方向为准,确定CPE的安装角度与终端设备的相对关系。
在第二种可能的实现方式中,第一服务器在S10接收到终端设备发送的CPE安装信息获取请求之后,通过S111从第二服务器获取满足条件的计算数据,所述计算数据包括终端设备所请求的位置信息覆盖范围内所有满足条件的小区所属的基站的位置信息。同样地,所述第二服务器可以是专门设置的用于存储相关数据的服务器,第一服务器与第二服务器之间可以进行通信,或者,第二服务器还可以是第一服务器中的一个模块。第二服务器中存储有不同运营商所部署的基站的位置,每个基站的位置都可以通过该位置处的经纬度数据表示。
可选地,所述第二种可能的实现方式可以单独实现,或者,在第一种可能的实现方式中,若第二服务器中未存储信号指纹信息,或者第一服务器在第二服务器中没有获取到终端设备所请求的位置信息、属性信息对应的信号指纹信息,则第一服务器可以进一步通过第二种可能的实现方式中获取基站的位置。
则对于第一服务器,在接收到终端设备发送的CPE安装信息获取请求后,即可从第二服务器中获取满足条件的基站的位置信息,所述条件可以通过第一服务器所接收 到的CPE安装信息请求中的CPE属性信息和终端设备的位置信息进行筛选。例如,图14为本申请提供的另一种确定CPE安装信息的示意图,其中,当第一服务器所接收到的CPE安装信息获取请求中携带的位置信息为A点的经纬度数据、以及CPE的属性信息为运营商1、支持的RAT类型为5G NR以及CPE的指定工作频率等时,第一服务器从第二服务器中获取满足以下条件的基站的位置:①基站或小区信号源的位置在终端设备所在的A点位置为中心,半径P的预设范围内;②基站或小区所支持的RAT类型与CPE的属性信息匹配;③基站的工作频率等参数满足CPE所指定的参数。最终,得到如图10中所示的以A点为圆心、半径为P的圆形区域内所有可以向CPE提供蜂窝信号的基站B、基站C和基站D的位置信息。
则当第一服务器从第二服务器获取了如图14所示的在半径为P的圆形区域内所有基站的位置后,即可根据位置A与各基站的位置确定CPE的安装信息。其中,基于CPE距离基站距离越近的位置接收到蜂窝信号的强度可能越大、距离基站距离越远的位置接收到蜂窝信号的强度可能越小,例如第一服务器可以确定在基站B与位置A的距离最近,随后,第一服务器还可以基于所确定距离最近的基站B,进一步确定终端设备在CPE的待安装区域(例如,在用户希望安装CPE指定的圆心为A点、半径为R的圆形区域)的Q点处,接收来自基站B的蜂窝信号的信号强度最大,因此可以确定CPE的安装位置为Q点,并将CPE在Q点处朝向基站B安装的角度作为CPE的安装角度。可选地,所述半径R可以是规定的数值例如10米,或者,半径R还可以是终端设备的用户输入,并携带在CPE安装信息获取请求中发送至第一服务器的。可选地,半径P大于或等于半径R。
更为具体地,图15为本申请终端设备所确定的基站位置的示意图,其中,以终端设备所在的位置(图中三角形标识处)为基准,以垂直于终端设备显示屏幕的法线N作为参考,可以得到当前终端设备朝向的方向M,与各基站位置的来波方向之间的夹角。例如,基站T1的来波方向与终端设备当前朝向M之间夹角为21.8°;基站T2的来波方向与终端设备当前朝向M之间夹角为18.55°;基站T3的来波方向与终端设备当前朝向M之间夹角为-39.81°;基站T4的来波方向与终端设备当前朝向M之间夹角为-93.54°。
可选地,在如图12所示的实施例中,第一服务器在接收到终端设备发送的CPE安装信息获取请求之后,从第二服务器获取满足条件的计算数据,随后由第一服务器根据计算数据得到CPE安装信息,并将得到的CPE安装信息发送给终端设备,使得终端设备在接收到CPE安装信息后直接可以进行显示。而在其他可能的实现方式中,图16为本申请提供的CPE安装信息获取方法一实施例的流程示意图,在图16所示的实施例中,第一服务器通过S10接收到终端设备发送的CPE安装信息获取请求之后,通过S111从第二服务器获取满足条件的计算数据。但是第一服务器并不确定CPE安装信息,而是直接通过S113将所获取的计算数据发送给终端设备,由终端设备通过S14根据接收到的计算数据确定CPE安装信息,并最终通过S13直接显示其计算得到的CPE安装信息。有关S14中终端设备确定CPE安装信息的方法,可以参照图13或图14所示实施例中由第一服务器确定CPE安装信息的方法,其实现方式与原理相同,所不同在于由 终端设备来执行计算,不再赘述。
因此,本实施例同样可以由用户使用终端设备获取CPE安装信息并自行完成整个CPE的安装,从而不需要用户聘请专业操作人员才能够完成CPE的安装,进而节省了用户在使用CPE之前安装CPE时所消耗的时间成本和人工成本,提高了使用CPE的用户在安装CPE时的用户体验。
进一步地,在上述各实施例中,第一服务器所确定的CPE安装信息中的安装位置可以理解为相对于地图数据的绝对位置,也就是会给出一个特定的位置供用户直接安装,但是在一些场景中,即使所确定的距离基站最近的位置处,还可能会由于存在建筑物的遮挡,影响CPE设置在被遮挡的位置处所接收到来自基站的蜂窝信号的强度。例如图17为一种CPE设置位置的示意图,在图17中,假设用户需要在建筑物5外部安装CPE,而CPE能够接收蜂窝信号的基站1位于图中右侧,则当用户在图中左侧位置21处安装CPE时,CPE所接收的蜂窝信号被建筑物5遮挡,造成CPE的通信质量不佳。而当用户在图中右侧位置22处安装CPE、并将CPE的接收方向朝向基站1的方向设置时,可以接收的来自基站1的信号强度最大的蜂窝信号。因此,本申请还提供一种CPE安装信息中位置信息的确定方法,使得终端设备能够接收到CPE安装位置相对于目标物体(例如:建筑物)的相对安装位置,使得CPE在接收蜂窝信号时不会被建筑物所遮挡。
例如,图18为本申请提供的CPE安装信息获取方法一实施例的应用示意图,其中,当用户61希望在建筑物5外侧安装CPE时,可以使用随身携带的终端设备4输入表示当前位置与建筑物的之间的相对位置的信息。例如,图19为本申请实施例提供的终端设备的显示界面一实施例的示意图,用户使用终端设备通过显示界面4A扫描CPE的二维码后,终端设备随后在显示界面4B中显示四种对朝向信息的选择,例如,选项①为用户(用户通过较小的圆圈表示)位于建筑物(建筑物通过正方向表示)的西侧、选项②为用户位于建筑物的东侧、选项③为用户位于建筑的北侧、选项④为用户位于建筑物的南侧。则对于图18中的用户61,可以根据当前所在建筑物5西侧的位置,点击终端设备4的显示界面4B中的选项①。随后,终端设备向第一服务器发送CPE安装信息获取请求,在请求中携带选项①的建筑物信息。
相应地,对于第一服务器接收到CPE安装信息获取请求后,可以根据如图13或14的方法确定在用户所在位置A附近的Q点处朝向基站B方向为CPE的最佳安装点,但是此时需要考虑用户在建筑物5外侧安装,因此,当图18所示的示例中,用户61位于建筑物5的西侧,但是所确定的最佳安装点的Q点位于建筑物的东侧方向,则为了尽可能提高CPE接收到基站B的信号强度,此时可以将建筑物参考Q点,得到将CPE安装在建筑物5的东侧方向时,CPE可以更靠近所确定的建筑物东侧方向的Q点,因此可以得到CPE安装信息中的安装位置在建筑物的东侧的表面。也就是说,第一服务器所确定的CPE安装信息中的位置信息为建筑物5的东侧,角度信息为东偏北45度。随后,第一服务器将CPE安装信息发送给终端设备,所述CPE安装信息中包括所确定的CPE安装信息。
最终,终端设备在接收到CPE安装信息后,可以在显示界面4C中以文字的形式显 示CPE安装信息中的CPE安装信息,例如由于当前用户位于建筑物西侧,而确定的CPE安装位置在建筑物东侧,因此给用户以更加直接的“安装位置在建筑物对侧”的形式向用户提示安装位置。并且当用户将CPE安装在建筑物东侧后,还需要将CPE的接收方向朝向东偏北45度的基站B位置设置,此时终端设备所显示的提示信息可以是对于用户更加直接的“将CPE的接收方向安装朝向左前方45度”。可选的,终端设备在接收到CPE安装信息后,可以在显示界面4C中以图形的形式显示CPE安装信息。
可选地,上述实施例中,终端设备通过向用户展示与建筑物的关系的选项,根据用户所进行的选择确定用户当前位置位于建筑物的某一侧。在其他可能的实现方式中,例如,图20为本申请提供的CPE安装信息获取方法一实施例的应用示意图,在图20所示的示例中,为了得到用于当前与建筑物的位置关系的信息,当用户使用终端设备扫描CPE的二维码之后,还需要通过终端设备对建筑物5进行拍照,并在向第一服务器发送的CPE安装信息获取请求中携带所拍摄的照片。使得第一服务器根据用户拍摄的照片、以及当前所在的位置,结合图20中的地图数据7,共同确定用户61所在的位置在建筑物5的西侧。
综上,本实施例提供的安装信息获取方法中,用户可以自行通过随身携带的手机等终端设备扫描CPE的二维码,并确定当前与建筑物的关系后,即可根据终端设备的显示界面上所显示的CPE安装信息的指示,确定CPE的安装位置、安装角度等安装信息。实现CPE在建筑物外侧安装时内所接收到的蜂窝信号强度最大,并且CPE在接收蜂窝信号时还不会被建筑物本身所遮挡,从而尽可能地保证CPE的通信质量。并且安装过程中不再聘请专业操作人员才能够完成CPE的安装,进而节省了用户在使用CPE之前安装CPE时所消耗的时间成本和人工成本,提高了使用CPE的用户在安装CPE时的用户体验。
可选地,在本申请上述各实施例中,第一服务器能够根据信号指纹数据或者基站位置确定CPE的安装信息,但是若第一服务器无法得到上述信息也就无法确定CPE的安装信息时,本申请还提供一种通过终端设备的测量确定CPE的安装信息的方法。例如,图21为本申请提供的CPE安装信息获取方法一实施例的应用示意图,在如图21所示的示例中,假设用户计划在建筑物5范围内安装CPE,则用户61可以在建筑物各个可以安装CPE的位置通过终端设备4对接收到的来自基站的蜂窝信号的强度进行检测,并根据各个位置的检测结果确定CPE的最佳安装位置作为CPE的安装信息。此时,用户所使用的终端设备需要与CPE同制式,即,终端设备与CPE可以接收同一个运营商的基站发送的蜂窝信号,以及终端设备需要支持CPE所工作的5G制式等。
例如,图22为本申请实施例提供的终端设备的显示界面一实施例的示意图,在如图22所示的显示界面5A中,用户可以使用终端设备扫描待安装的CPE的二维码,得到CPE的属性信息。随后,用户可以手持终端设备,依次在图21中位置a-位置i的各个位置处进行测量,此时终端设备可以通过显示界面5B显示输入框,让用户输入当前位置的信息进行标记,例如,用户手持终端设备在建筑物5的位置a的窗口处,可以输入位置a为“客厅”,并点击显示界面5B中的按键“测量信号强度”,随后终端设备即可测量位置a处接收到的蜂窝信号的强度,并进行记录。可选地,用户在位置 a点击“测量信号强度”的控件后,可以以图22中所示的∠α=180的范围旋转终端设备,使得终端设备测量位置a为圆心,在180度的范围内以至少一个预设方向接收当前测量位置a的基站或小区的蜂窝信号的接收信号强度。当用户在图21中位置a-位置i各个位置进行标记和检测后,终端设备在显示界面5C中显示所有位置的测量数据,用户可以在显示界面5C中点击“完成全部测量”的控件,随后,终端设备即可确定目标位置的位置信息和目标位置朝向目标方向的角度信息为安CPE安装信息,其中,在目标位置处以目标方向设置时,CPE接收到的基站或者小区的蜂窝信号的接收信号强度最大,例如确定出在图21中目标位置为位置a处,目标方向为接收方向朝向左前方45度时,CPE接收到基站11的蜂窝信号的接收信号强度最大,最终,终端设备可以通过显示界面5D对所确定的CPE安装信息进行显示,例如可以显示用户对位置a所进行的标记“客厅”,并显示安装的角度为“左前方45度”。
可选地,在上述方法中,首先用户使用终端设备扫描CPE的图形识别码(比如二维码)获得CPE的属性信息;然后终端设备通过用户输入或图形扫描的方式获取CPE的SIM卡所支持的PLMN;终端设备的应用程序(例如,智慧生活)判断终端设备是否与CPE是否支持相同的制式,所述制式包括支持的RAT类型、频带、PLMN等信息;如果终端设备与CPE支持相同的制式,则再通过上述图21-图22的终端设备测量的方式获得CPE的安装信息。
进一步地,在上述图21-图22所示的实施例中,在终端设备与CPE同制式的情况下,用户可以直接使用终端设备即可代替CPE完成蜂窝信号强度的测量。然而当用户使用终端设备扫描CPE的图形识别码(比如二维码)获得CPE的属性信息;然后终端设备通过用户输入或图形扫描的方式获取CPE的SIM卡所支持的PLMN;终端设备的应用程序(例如,智慧生活)判断终端设备是否与CPE是否支持相同的制式,所述制式包括支持的RAT类型、频带、PLMN等信息;如果终端设备与CPE的制式不同时,本申请还提供另一种通过终端设备连接CPE来的测量蜂窝信号强度,并最终确定CPE的安装信息的方法。
例如,图23为本申请提供的CPE安装信息获取方法一实施例的应用示意图,在如图23所示的示例中,假设用户计划在建筑物5范围内安装CPE,但是终端设备与CPE不同制式,因此用户可以将CPE2设置在图23中位置a-位置i的各个位置处进行测量,并通过与CPE连接的终端设备来记录测量结果。
在测量时,终端设备同样可以使用如图22所示的显示界面对测量结果进行记录,例如,用户可以将CPE2设置在建筑物5的位置a的窗口处后,在显示界面5B可以输入位置a为“客厅”,并点击显示界面5B中的按键“测量信号强度”,随后终端设备即可测量CPE在位置a处接收到的蜂窝信号的强度并进行记录。可选地,用户在位置a点击“测量信号强度”的控件后,可以以图22中所示的∠α=180的范围旋转CPE,使得终端设备得到CPE以位置a为圆心,180度的范围的信号强度,记为信号强度a。当用户在图23中位置a-位置i各个位置设置CPE并进行标记和检测后,终端设备在显示界面5C中显示所有位置的测量数据,用户可以在显示界面5C中点击“完成全部测量”的控件,随后,终端设备即可根据各个位置处所测量的CPE接收到的信号强度, 确定出例如在图23中位置a处,接收方向朝向左前方45度时,CPE接收到基站的蜂窝信号的强度最大,最终,终端设备可以通过显示界面5D对所确定的CPE安装信息进行显示,例如可以显示用户对位置a所进行的标记“客厅”,并显示安装的角度为“左前方45度”。
图24为本申请提供的CPE安装信息获取方法一实施例的流程示意图,如图24示出了结合本申请各实施例的CPE安装信息获取方法的实现逻辑。其中,当S1000开始后,在S1001中,终端设备获取CPE的属性信息,并在S1002中向第一服务器发送CPE安装信息获取请求。S1001-S1002可以参考前述实施例中的S21、S22和S10,不再赘述。
随后,在S1003中,需要判断第一服务器一侧是否有与CPE同制式的信号指纹信息,这个判断的主体可以是第一服务器,也可以是其他设备。若是,则在S1004中,进一步判断第一服务器一侧是否有CPE信息对应的信号指纹信息,也就是如图13所示的半径为P的范围内是否有信号指纹信息;进一步若是,则在S1005中,可以通过如本申请图13所示的方式,根据信号指纹信息确定CPE安装信息。(本段所述记为第一种方式)
而若S1004判断为否,则通过S1006判断第一服务器一侧是否有CPE属性信息对应的基站信息,也就是如图14所示的半径为P的范围内是否有基站,进一步若是,则在S1007中获取CPE属性对应的基站信息,并在S1008中根据如图14所示的方式,根据基站信息确定CPE安装信息。(本段所述记为第二种方式)
若S1003中判断为否,或者S1006中判断为否,则通过S1009判断终端设备是否与CPE同制式,若是,则在S1010中,终端设备通过如图21所示的方式测量信号强度,并在S1011中根据如图21所示的方式,根据信号强度的测量结果,确定CPE安装信息。(本段所述记为第三种方式)
若S1003中判断为否,则在S1012中,终端设备通过如图23所示的方式连接CPE,并通过CPE测量信号强度,并在S1013中根据如图21所示的方式,根据信号强度的测量结果,确定CPE安装信息。(本段所述记为第四种方式)
最终,可以在S1005、S1008、S1011或者S1013之后,在S1015结束流程。
或者,在一种实现中,用户在使用终端设备确定CPE的安装信息时,可以通过如图24所示的第一种至第四种方式中任意多项,分别得到CPE安装信息,并在S1014中通过信息融合的方式,将所有方式得到的CPE安装信息进行融合,进而得到更加准确的安装信息。所述融合一种可能的实现方式为,将所有得到的CPE安装信息求平均。
可选地,在本申请上述各实施例中,为了实现用户通过终端设备获取CPE的安装信息,终端设备至少应具有定位功能(能够获取位置信息,并实现如图9或图10中确定终端设备的位置),或者具有旋转检测功能(实现如图9或者图10中确定终端设备当前的方向)。因此,当终端设备在执行本申请获取CPE的安装信息的方法之前,还可以对该终端设备是否支持定位功能和/或旋转检测功能进行检测,若支持,则终端设备可以执行本申请提供的CPE安装信息获取方法,若不支持,则终端设备可能无法执 行本申请提供的CPE安装信息获取方法,此时终端设备可以通过显示界面向用户提示使用如2所示的人工方式对CPE进行安装。
例如,图25为本申请实施例提供的终端设备的显示界面一实施例的示意图,在如图25所示的示例中,当用户在显示页面1C(显示页面1C之前的步骤可参照图6或图7,不再赘述)中扫描CPE上的二维码后,终端设备即可对其是否具有定位功能和/或旋转检测功能进行检测,例如终端设备确定其未设置陀螺仪,而无法进行旋转检测。随后,终端设备可以在显示页面1F中,以对话框的形式,向用户提示“通过人工方式确定CPE安装信息”,并进一步可以给出“拨打安装电话”的选择框,当用户点击该选择框后,终端设备可以拨打安装电话,通过如图2所示的方式,请求安装人员上门对CPE进行安装。
此外,终端设备对其是否具有定位功能和/或旋转检测功能的检测,还可以在如图25所示的扫描二维码的步骤之前,例如终端设备在空闲时进行检测后,将检测结果存储在存储空间中,当用户使用终端设备在如图25所示的显示页面1C中扫描二维码后,终端设备可以通过存储空间中存储的检测结果,确定其是否具有定位功能和/或旋转检测功能。
可选地,在又一种具体的实现方式中,CPE的供应商希望用户在终端设备上安装例如“智慧生活”的应用程序,并使用该应用程序通过如图6所示的方式扫描CPE上的二维码并获取安装信息,由于“智慧生活”的应用程序也是CPE的供应商提供的,从而保证整个流程的安全性以及获取信息准确性,也便于后续维护以及信息采集反馈等。但是,一些用户还是通过如图7所示的其他具有“扫一扫”功能的应用程序扫描CPE上的二维码,则终端设备可以在用户通过其他应用程序扫描二维码后,提示用户通过“智慧生活”应用程序获取CPE安装信息。
例如,图26为本申请实施例提供的终端设备的显示界面一实施例的示意图,在如图25所示的示例中,当用户使用除了“智慧生活”之外其他的应用程序,在显示页面1C(显示页面1C之前的步骤可参照图6或图7,不再赘述)中扫描CPE上的二维码后,终端设备进一步在显示页面1G中,通过对话框的形式,向用户提示安装“智慧生活”应用程序,并显示按钮“去安装”,当用户点击显示页面1G中的按钮“去安装”后,终端设备可以通过互联网获取应用程序安装包,并安装“智慧生活”应用程序,并在安装完成之后可以自动打开在显示页面1H中,随后,用户可以在“智慧生活”应用程序内,通过如图6所示的操作方式,获取CPE的安装信息。
而在又一种具体的实现方式中,当终端设备上已经安装了“智慧生活”应用程序,用户仍然使用除了“智慧生活”之外其他的应用程序,在显示页面1C(显示页面1C之前的步骤可参照图6或图7,不再赘述)中扫描CPE上的二维码后,终端设备可以直接打开已经安装的“智慧生活”应用程序,并直接显示页面1H,(在这个实现方式中由于已经安装了“智慧生活”应用程序,因此不显示页面1G)随后,用户可以在“智慧生活”应用程序内,通过如图6所示的操作方式,获取CPE的安装信息。
进一步地,对于终端设备安装的“智慧生活”应用程序,还可以通过应用程序提 供的绑定合并等功能,对CPE设备进行管理,所述绑定可以在获取CPE安装信息之前。例如,图27为本申请实施例提供的终端设备的显示界面一实施例的示意图,在如图27所示的示例中,显示页面1H中所显示的“智慧生活”应用程序的显示页面内,用户“ABC”的家已经绑定了设备1(例如,路由器、音箱等)和设备2,则用户可以点击“添加设备”,并输入CPE的信息之后,在显示页面1J中可以看出用户“ABC”的家已经绑定了包括CPE在内的3个设备,则当用户点击CPE对应的按钮后,在显示页面1K中终端设备可以显示该CPE的相关功能,例如“获取安装信息”的按钮,当用户点击“获取安装信息”的按钮后,终端设备可以执行本申请任一实施例所述的方法,来获取终端设备所绑定的CPE的安装信息,并最终在显示页面1D内显示。
可选地,在如图27所示的显示页面1K中,与CPE有关的功能的按钮还包括“安装教程”按钮。其中,CPE的供应商可以将安装CPE的过程中,用户需要进行的具体操作通过视频方式记录,则当用户点击显示页面1K内的“安装教程”按钮后,终端设备可以通过网络获取安装视频进行播放、或者终端设备可以获取该终端设备所存储的安装视频进行播放。
可选地,在如图27所示的显示页面1K中,与CPE有关的功能的按钮还包括“安装方式的选择”按钮,其中,CPE的安装方式包括:挂墙安装、抱杆安装等,用户选择了挂墙或者抱杆安装的安装方式后,终端设备可以进行记录,并在后续用户点击安装教程后,获取挂墙或抱杆安装方式对应的安装视频进行播放。此外,由于安装方式决定了后续很多功能以及参数的设计,终端设备可以在用户绑定CPE、或者用户扫描二维码之后,就通过显示页面弹出的选择框,让用户选择安装方式,并记录用户所选择的安装方式。
此外,在本申请如图9和图10所示的实施例中,用户通过终端设备确定CPE的安装信息后,终端设备可以通过显示页面引导用户向安装位置和安装角度移动,但是如果用户没有按照终端设备的指示移动,而是移动到了其他位置处,为了保证对用户所做引导的准确性,终端设备可以在用户移动距离大于一个预设距离(例如10米)之后,就按照如图4所示的方式重新向网络设备发送CPE安装请求信息,并再次接收网络设备发送的CPE安装信息、或者提示用户重新获取CPE安装信息,可以自动重新获取、也可以响应于用户的操作(例如:点击重新获取安装信息的按钮)而执行如图4所示的方法来重新获取CPE安装信息。
例如,图28为本申请实施例提供的终端设备的显示界面一实施例的示意图,在如图28所示的示例中,显示页面4B在如图10所示的显示页面4B的基础上,可以加入“重新获取安装信息”的按钮,当用户移动超过10米后,可以通过该按钮提示用户需要重新获取安装信息。则用户在显示页面4B上点击按钮后,终端设备通过显示页面4A重新使用本申请前述任一实施例中的方法确定CPE的安装信息,并在显示页面4B内显示。
可选地,如图28所示的示例中,终端设备还可以不显示如显示页面4B内的按钮,而是当检测到移动超过10米之后,自动重新获取CPE安装信息,减少用户的点击操作。
可选地,基于本申请实施例中,提供了终端设备显示CPE安装信息的至少两种实现方式:通过文字显示(图6中的显示页面1D)和通过图形显示(图9和图10),因此,为了丰富用户的个性化选择体验,终端设备还可以根据用户的选择采用不同的方式显示CPE安装信息。
例如,图29为本申请实施例提供的终端设备的显示界面一实施例的示意图,在如图28所示的示例中,当用户通过终端设备扫描CPE上的二维码后,终端设备通过本申请任一实施例中的方法获取CPE的安装信息,随后,终端设备还在显示页面1M中,通过对话框的形式,向用户提示选择安装信息的显示方式,例如“文字”和“图形”等。则当用户点击显示页面1M中的按钮“文字”后,终端设备可以在显示页面1D中通过文字显示CPE的安装信息;或者,当用户点击按钮“图形”后,终端设备可以通过如图9或图10的方式显示CPE的安装信息。
在前述实施例中,对本申请实施例提供的CPE安装信息获取方法进行了介绍,而为了实现上述本申请实施例提供的方法中的各功能,作为执行主体的终端设备和网络设备可以包括硬件结构和/或软件模块,以硬件结构、软件模块、或硬件结构加软件模块的形式来实现上述各功能。上述各功能中的某个功能以硬件结构、软件模块、还是硬件结构加软件模块的方式来执行,取决于技术方案的特定应用和设计约束条件。

可选地,处理模块3002还用于,当终端设备所在位置发生变化,根据位置的变化更新显示界面上显示的第一图标;和/或,当终端设备所朝向的角度变化,根据角度的变化更新显示界面上显示的第二图标。
可选地,处理模块3002还用于,当终端设备移动到安装位置且旋转到朝向安装角度,在显示界面上显示CPE安装确认信息。
可选地,当处理模块3002确定终端设备接收网络设备发送的CPE安装信息之后,移动的距离超过预设距离,收发模块3001还用于,再次通过向网络设备发送CPE安装信息获取请求,并再次接收网络设备发送的CPE安装信息。
可选地,CPE安装信息获取请求还包括:CPE的属性信息;如图30所示装置还包括:扫描模块和/或输入模块;其中,扫描模块用于通过扫描CPE上设置的图形识别码获取CPE的属性信息,输入模块用于通过接收用户输入的数据,获取CPE的属性信息。
