This application claims the priority of the Chinese patent application filed with the State Intellectual Property Office on September 3, 2020, the application number is 202010925894.0, and the application name is "A method, electronic device and server for reminding users based on portable devices", all of which are The contents are incorporated herein by reference.

technical field

The present application relates to the field of electronic technologies, and in particular, to a method, an electronic device and a server for reminding a user based on a portable device.

Background technique

With the development of mobile devices, there are more and more types of mobile devices used by users, and users' dependence on mobile devices is also increasing, and mobile devices have become one of the essential personal items for users. The use of mobile devices can undoubtedly improve the security of users' lives. Taking mobile phones as an example, mobile phones can locate the user's location and obtain contact with the outside world.

During the use of the mobile phone, it is inevitable that the mobile phone malfunctions and the mobile phone signal is poor. If the user is inconvenient to check the mobile phone at present, the mobile phone failure or poor signal cannot be found in time. For example, when a mobile phone card or a communication module fails, if the user does not check the mobile phone, the failure of the mobile phone cannot be found in time, and key calls or information may be missed. For another example, when the user is engaged in outdoor activities such as mountain climbing and off-roading, if the user does not check the mobile phone, it is impossible to find out in time that the mobile phone signal has deteriorated or has deviated from the safe route, which may cause dangerous accidents.

Therefore, for a scenario where it is inconvenient for a user to view a mobile phone in a timely manner, how to improve the security of using the mobile phone is an urgent problem that needs to be solved at present.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present application provides a method, an electronic device and a server for reminding a user based on a portable device. The method can prevent the user from being in a disconnected state for a long time in outdoor scenes such as mountaineering and adventure, and improve the safety of the user's outdoor activities.

A first aspect provides a method for reminding a user, which is applied to a system including a first electronic device and a second electronic device that are connected to each other, the method includes: the first electronic device obtains the signal strength of the current location; When the intensity is less than or equal to the preset threshold, the first electronic device sends a reminder request to the second electronic device; the second electronic device receives the reminder request, and in response to the reminder request, reminds the user in a preset reminder mode; and A window is displayed for the user to choose whether to authorize the first electronic device to record the coordinates of the position and the signal strength of the position; if it is detected that the user authorizes the first electronic device to record the coordinates of the position and the signal of the position At least one operation of strength, in response to the at least one operation, the second electronic device sends an instruction to the first electronic device, the instruction being used to instruct the first electronic device to record the coordinates of the location and the signal strength of the location; An electronic device receives the instruction, and in response to the instruction, the first electronic device records the coordinates of the location and the signal strength of the location.

Optionally, the method for reminding a user provided in this embodiment of the present application may be applied to a system including a portable device and a mobile phone. Alternatively, the method for reminding a user provided in this embodiment of the present application may be applied to a system including a portable device, a mobile phone, and a server. For example, the above-mentioned first electronic device may be a mobile phone, and the second electronic device may be a portable device such as a smart watch. This embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

It should be understood that, with the smart watch as the second electronic device, the window displayed on the smart watch in the embodiment of the present application can be adapted to the size of the display screen of the smart watch. For example, the window can be suspended and displayed on the display screen of the smart watch, occupying the Part of the display screen of the smart watch; or it may not be displayed to the user in the form of a window, but may be displayed to the user in the form of an interactive interface or an operation interface, and the interface may occupy the entire interface of the display screen of the smart watch. This is not limited.

Through the above method, when the first electronic device determines that the current signal strength is less than or equal to the preset threshold, it sends a reminder request to the second electronic device, and based on the second electronic device, reminds the user that the signal strength of the first electronic device is too low. In this method, for scenarios such as user mountaineering and expeditions, taking mobile phones and smart watches as examples, the user does not need to frequently check the mobile phone to monitor the signal strength of the mobile phone, and sends a reminder to the user through a portable device such as a smart watch worn by the user to ensure that the user can receive the mobile phone signal in time. Abnormal reminder information prevents users from being disconnected for a long time in outdoor scenes such as mountaineering adventures, and improves the safety of users' outdoor activities.

In addition, the user can set the reminder time interval for the portable device such as the smart watch to send the reminder to the user according to the current demand, which minimizes the disturbance to the user and improves the user experience.

In a possible implementation, the user can enable the function of monitoring the signal strength through the application associated with the smart watch, the Sports Health APP, or configure the preset threshold of the signal strength, Parameters such as reminder interval time and preset reminder mode. The user can also modify or adjust parameters such as the reminder time interval, the preset threshold of the signal strength, and the preset reminder mode according to their own needs, which are not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

Optionally, taking the setting of a preset reminder method as an example, the mobile phone can first establish an association relationship with the smart watch through an application (such as sports health, settings, etc.), and then use a user account (such as the same Huawei account) Set reminders on your phone and smartwatch. In the subsequent use process, when the mobile phone and the smart watch are connected again by any means such as Bluetooth, near field communication (NFC), data network, etc., an application can be automatically run in the background. The program enables the signal strength monitoring function; or, after the connection is established, the signal strength monitoring function is automatically enabled based on the associated settings of the same user account; or, when the mobile phone or smart watch detects that the user is in an outdoor adventure scene, the signal strength is automatically enabled. The monitoring function is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

Through the above method, users can adjust parameters such as signal strength collection time, reminder time interval, and preset thresholds of signal strength according to their own expectations for different scenarios, so as to better match the needs of users. For example, when the signal strength in the area where the user is hiking and exploring is not good, but the user may be familiar with the route or the route is a safe route, the user can reduce the signal strength acquisition time, thereby reducing the power consumption of the mobile phone; it can also increase the reminder time interval or reduce the signal strength. To reduce the frequency of reminders, it does not affect the user's mountaineering adventure experience, and saves the power consumption of the mobile phone.

With reference to the first aspect, in some implementations of the first aspect, the method further includes: the first electronic device determines the signal strength of the user's travel route according to the recorded coordinates of the multiple locations and the signal strengths corresponding to the multiple locations Figure; if the first electronic device detects that within the first preset time period, the signal strength is always less than or equal to the preset threshold, the first electronic device determines a safe route according to the signal strength map of the travel route, and the safety The route includes at least one location where the signal strength is greater than or equal to the preset threshold; the first electronic device sends the information of the safe route to the second electronic device; the second electronic device receives the information of the safe route sent by the first electronic device , and determine the safety route according to the information of the safety route; the second electronic device displays another window, and the other window is used to display the safety route.

detailed description

The possible involved scenarios are first introduced in detail below, and the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application are described in detail in combination with the scenarios.

1 is a schematic diagram of an example of a scenario provided by an embodiment of the present application. Taking the user's outdoor hiking and mountaineering adventures as an example, it is assumed that the signal strength of the mobile phone changes continuously with the area the user reaches during the outdoor hiking and mountaineering adventures.

Exemplarily, as shown in (a) of FIG. 1 , in the scenario where the user is on a mountaineering expedition, it is assumed that the user starts from the starting point A. As the user enters the mountainous area, the signal strength of the mobile phone gradually weakens. After passing through the poor signal area, , the signal strength of the mobile phone gradually returns to normal, and finally returns to the end point F. Figure (b) in Figure 1 shows the possible change process of signal strength. Combining (a) and (b), the user's outdoor adventure process can be divided into the following stages:

Stage 1: Signal normal stage.

As shown in (a) of FIG. 1 , the signal normal stage may correspond to the user's traveling process from the starting point A to the signal threshold point B.

Specifically, Table 1 shows a possible correspondence between the signal strength range of the mobile phone and the network status. As shown in Table 1, if the signal identifier on the user's mobile phone interface is displayed as 5 grids when the grid is full, the corresponding signal strength can be greater than -50dBm.

It should be understood that the larger the numerical value (negative value) of the signal strength of the mobile phone, the better the signal of the mobile phone. In other words, the closer the signal strength is to 0, the better the signal of the mobile phone. The conversion process of power and power will not be repeated.

Table 1

With reference to the signal strength range in Table 1, in this embodiment of the present application, the signal normal stage may include the case where the signal identifier is displayed as 5, 4, or 3 grids, or the signal normal stage is described as "almost near the base station", "" Very good signal", "Good signal", "Slightly weak signal", "Weak signal". The signal strength corresponding to stage 1 may be greater than or equal to -90dBm, for example, -90dBm-0dBm. For details, refer to the corresponding relationship shown in Table 1.

In addition, for the position B shown in (a) of Figure 1, the signal strength is weakened to the signal threshold, in other words, when the mobile phone signal is reduced to the signal threshold, it gradually transitions from phase one to phase two, and enters a phase where the signal is weaker. It should be understood that the embodiments of the present application do not limit the value of the signal threshold, for example, different signal thresholds may correspond to different scenarios such as cities and villages.

Exemplarily, subsequent embodiments of the present application will take a signal threshold of -90 dBm as an example for description.

Stage 2: Bad signal stage.

As shown in (a) of FIG. 1 , the bad signal stage may correspond to the user's traveling process from the signal threshold point B to the signal recovery point E, such as the process of B-C-D-E. In this stage, the user goes to the remote mountainous area and gradually moves away from the coverage area of the base station, and the signal of the mobile phone is getting worse and worse.

With reference to the signal strength range in Table 1, in this embodiment of the present application, the signal poor stage may include the situation where the signal identifier is displayed as 2 grids or 1 grid, or the poor signal phase is described as "basically able to communicate", "basically unable to communicate". ", "Unable to communicate". The signal strength corresponding to the second stage may be less than -90 dBm, and the corresponding relationship shown in Table 1 is specifically referred to.

As the user's mountaineering expedition continues, the user will gradually return to the base station coverage area, and the signal strength will gradually recover, entering stage three.

Stage 3: Signal recovery stage.

As shown in (a) of FIG. 1 , the signal recovery stage may correspond to the user's traveling process from the signal recovery point E to the end point F. During this phase, the signal strength may be greater than or equal to the signal threshold.

It should be understood that both the third stage and the first stage may refer to the signal normal stage.

It should also be understood that, in this embodiment of the present application, different stages may be divided according to the signal threshold, and different stages may also be divided according to the average signal strength within a period of time. Exemplarily, the average signal strength of stage 2 (poor signal stage) is less than or equal to the signal threshold. During the actual travel of the user, the signal strength of some positions may also be greater than the signal threshold, which is not strictly enforced in this embodiment of the present application. distinction.

For the scenarios of outdoor activities such as mountaineering and expeditions introduced in Figure 1, the user may not check the mobile phone for a long time or is inconvenient to check the mobile phone, and cannot detect the poor signal of the mobile phone in time, may deviate from the route, and end up in the danger of poor signal for a long time. area, or a dangerous situation where getting lost makes it impossible to return safely. At this time, if the user finds that the mobile phone has no signal at all when checking the mobile phone, it will be difficult for the user to re-explore a new path in a short period of time; further, the user may be in trouble due to external environments such as complex terrain, physical strength or food exhaustion. ; In addition, if the user cannot communicate with the outside world, the external rescue personnel cannot quickly know the approximate location of the missing person who lost contact at the end, which increases the difficulty of rescue.

FIG. 5 is a schematic flowchart of an example of a mobile phone signal reminder based on a portable device according to an embodiment of the present application. Assuming that the smart watch 10 and the mobile phone 20 have established a Bluetooth connection, communication and data transmission can be performed. As shown in FIG. 5, the method 500 can be divided into three stages, including:

Phase 1: Initialization Phase

The initialization stage can be understood as the preparation stage before the solution is executed. In the initialization stage, after the mobile phone 20 and the smart watch 10 are connected, the function of monitoring the signal strength of the mobile phone can be enabled on the mobile phone 20 and the smart watch 10 respectively. Specifically, the initialization phase may include steps 501-503 shown in FIG. 5:

501 , enable the function of the smart watch 10 to monitor the signal strength of the mobile phone 20 , and set a reminder mode of the smart watch 10 .

502 , enable the function of monitoring the signal strength of the mobile phone 20 , and configure parameters such as the signal strength collection time, the preset threshold value of the signal strength, and the reminder interval time.

503 , the server 30 refreshes the latest location coordinate data where the mobile phone 20 is located. It should be understood that a map is stored on the server 30 side, and the user's route can be marked according to multiple position coordinates of the mobile phone.

In a possible implementation manner, for the mobile phone 20, the user can enable the function of monitoring the signal strength through the application program associated with the smart watch 10 - the sports health APP, and configure the signal strength through the menu in the sports health APP, etc. parameters such as preset threshold and reminder interval.

The embodiments of the present application take a sports health APP as an example to introduce the interaction process between the smart watch 10 , the mobile phone 20 and the server 30 . For example, the smart watch 10 and the mobile phone 20 can establish a connection through the sports health APP, and the mobile phone 20 and the server 30 can also share the user's location coordinate data through the sports health APP. It should be understood that the sports health APP is only an example, in addition to this, the reminding process introduced in the embodiment of the present application may also be implemented through one or more other application programs, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram of an example of a graphical user interface (graphical user interface, GUI) for enabling a function of monitoring signal strength on a mobile phone terminal according to an embodiment of the present application.

Exemplarily, (a) in FIG. 6 shows that when the mobile phone is unlocked, the screen display system of the mobile phone displays currently output interface content 601 , which is the main interface of the mobile phone. The interface content 601 displays various applications, such as music, gallery, settings, and sports health. It should be understood that the interface content 601 may also include other more application programs, which is not limited in this application.

As shown in (a) of FIG. 6 , on the main interface 601 of the mobile phone 20 , the user clicks the sports health APP, and in response to the user's click operation, the mobile phone 20 enters the sports health interface. The sports health interface includes different functional areas and menus. For example, the menu area 602-3 may include the main menu category of the sports health application, and the user can click on the different main menus to display different contents.

As shown in operation 1 in (b) of FIG. 6 , the user clicks on the "My" menu in the menu area 602-3, and in response to the user's click operation, an interface 602 is displayed. The interface 602 includes a user information area 602-1 at the top of the screen divided by dotted lines in the figure, a function setting area 602-2 at the middle of the screen, and a menu area 602-3 at the bottom of the screen. The user information area 602-1 can display content such as user avatar, user name, etc. The function setting area 602-2 can include a number of options with different functions, and the user can perform different operations or view different content through each option. This application implements For example, the function of each area will not be repeated.

In operation 2 shown in (b) of FIG. 6 , the user clicks the “settings” option in the function setting area 602-2, and in response to the user’s click operation, the settings shown in (c) of FIG. 6 are displayed Interface 603. The setting interface 603 includes switches for enabling various functions, such as a switch for manually synchronizing data, a switch for automatically synchronizing data, an automatic track switch, and a switch for discovering pairable devices, and the like. In addition, the setting interface 603 also includes GPS data sharing options, cell phone signal monitoring options, offline map options, etc., and the functions of each switch and option will not be described in detail here.

In the operation shown in (c) of FIG. 6 , the user clicks the "Mobile Signal Monitoring" option, and in response to the user's click operation, the mobile phone signal monitoring setting interface 604 shown in (d) of FIG. 6 is entered. The interface 604 may include a paired device monitoring and warning switch. The user can click the paired device monitoring and warning switch to keep the paired device monitoring and warning switch through the operation as shown in (d) in FIG. 6 . The switch is in the "ON" state, that is, the function of monitoring the signal strength of the mobile phone 20 as introduced in step 502 is enabled.

In addition, the interface 604 also includes parameter setting interfaces such as the signal strength collection time, the reminder time interval, and the preset threshold value of the signal strength.

In a possible implementation manner, when the user turns on the paired device monitoring and early warning switch, the corresponding parameters such as the signal strength collection time, the alert time interval, and the preset threshold value of the signal strength are default values. As shown in (d) in Figure 6, the default signal strength collection time is 10 times/hour, the default reminder time interval is 2 times/hour, and the default signal strength threshold is -75dBm, which corresponds to the full signal of the mobile phone. 25% of the signal strength.

It should be understood that parameters such as the default signal strength collection time, the default reminder time interval, and the default signal strength preset threshold may be the default values set in the application after the user installs the sports health application; or, the mobile phone 20 is a preset default value in the self-contained system, or defaults to a parameter previously set by the user, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

In another possible implementation manner, after the user has turned on the paired device monitoring and warning switch, he can also use the signal strength acquisition time option, the reminder time interval option, and the signal strength as shown in (d) in Figure 6 . Preset threshold options, modify various parameters. Taking the user modifying the reminder time interval as an example, in the operation shown in (d) of FIG. 6 , the user clicks the reminder time interval option, and the mobile phone 20 may display an interface for modifying the reminder time interval.

Exemplarily, FIG. 6(e) illustrates two possible methods of modifying the reminder time interval. For example, in the dotted box 605-1, in the form of a progress bar, the user can modify the reminder time interval by dragging the progress bar, and click the save button to determine the reminder time interval. Alternatively, as in the dotted box 605-2, in the form of a list, the user can select a certain reminder time interval in the list, or input a desired reminder time interval by definition, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

In the same way, users can also modify or adjust parameters such as the reminder time interval and the preset threshold of signal strength according to their own needs. Table 2 lists the reference range of the preset threshold value for the user to adjust the signal strength, as shown in Table 2 below, the user can adjust the preset threshold value according to their own requirements for the signal strength, and each gear corresponds to a different signal strength range .

It should be understood that from the level of ordinary users, it may not be possible to distinguish the magnitude of the signal strength, so by providing users with different gears on the mobile phone, the user only needs to select different gears, which is convenient for the user to estimate the preset threshold value that is more in line with the current requirements. In this way, the operation difficulty of the user is reduced, and misoperation is avoided.

Table 2

It should be understood that, for step 502, the process described in FIG. 6 above shows an example in the initialization stage, in which the user enables the function of monitoring the signal strength of the mobile phone 20, and configures the signal strength collection time, the preset threshold of the signal strength, and the reminder interval, etc. way of parameters.

In addition, the process of step 502 can also be set in other applications of the mobile phone 20 , such as the “settings” application on the interface 601 , or a quick entry is added in the notification interface pulled down by the mobile phone 20 , so that the user can quickly turn on the mobile phone 20 The function of monitoring signal strength is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

Or, in another possible implementation manner, the mobile phone 20 can first establish an association relationship with the smart watch 10 through an application (such as sports health, settings, etc.), and then set the mobile phone based on a user account (such as the same Huawei account). 20 and the signal strength monitoring function of the initialization process of the smart watch 10. In the subsequent use process, when the mobile phone 20 and the smart watch 10 are connected again by any means such as Bluetooth, NFC, data network, etc., an application program can be automatically run in the background, and the signal strength monitoring function can be turned on through the application program; Alternatively, after the connection is established, the signal strength monitoring function is automatically enabled based on the associated settings of the same user account; or, the mobile phone 20 automatically enables the signal strength monitoring function when it detects that the user is in an outdoor adventure scene.

Alternatively, in addition to the implementation process of the initialization phase of the mobile phone 20 described above, the function of monitoring the signal strength of the mobile phone 20 may also be a function preset when the mobile phone 20 leaves the factory. In other words, as long as the mobile phone 20 is connected to the smart watch 10, The function of monitoring the signal strength of the mobile phone is enabled; or, the function of monitoring the signal strength may also be a function preset in the operating system of the mobile phone 20, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

After the function of monitoring the signal strength of the mobile phone 20 is turned on, the corresponding function of the smart watch 10 needs to be turned on. The following describes a quick method for turning on the function of monitoring the signal strength on the side of the smart watch 10.

Exemplarily, (a) in FIG. 7 shows the interface content 701 currently output by the smart watch 10 , and the interface content 701 may be the main interface of the smart watch 10 . The interface content 701 displays a variety of associated applications installed on the mobile phone 20, such as outdoor associated with sports health and the like. It should be understood that the interface content 701 may also include other more application programs, and the user may swipe up and down, left and right, etc. to view more application programs, which will not be repeated in this application.

In a possible implementation, as shown in (a) of FIG. 7 , on the main interface 701 of the smart watch 10, the user clicks the setting button of the outdoor icon, and in response to the user's click operation, the smart watch 10 enters the The setting interface 702 is shown in (b) of FIG. 7 . The interface 702 includes a start button 702-1, a signal identifier of the mobile phone 20, etc., and the button 702-1 can start the signal monitoring function of the smart watch 10. As shown in (b) of FIG. 7 , the user clicks the button 702-1, and in response to the user's click operation, the button 702-1 may be displayed in an open state as shown in (c) of FIG. 7 .

It should be understood that after the signal monitoring function of the smart watch 10 is turned on, the user returns to the main interface 701 of the smart watch 10 shown in (a) of FIG. 7 , which will not affect the function, that is, the signal monitoring function can still be maintained. This is not described in detail in this embodiment of the present application.

It should also be understood that, in this embodiment of the present application, enabling the signal monitoring function of the smart watch 10 can be understood as the smart watch 10 can receive the mobile phone signal strength sent by the mobile phone 20, and the smart watch 10 determines whether the mobile phone signal strength is less than or equal to a preset threshold. Alternatively, turning on the signal monitoring function of the smart watch 10 can also be understood as the function of sending a reminder request to the smart watch 10 after the mobile phone 20 judges that the signal strength is less than or equal to the preset threshold, and after the smart watch 10 receives the reminder request, the function of reminding , which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

In another possible implementation manner, the user may also set a reminder mode on the smart watch 10 . As shown in (c) of FIG. 7 , the user can slide on the interface 703 of the smart watch 10 in the direction indicated by the arrow, and the smart watch 10 displays the reminder mode selection interface 704 as shown in (d) of FIG. 7 . On the interface 704, different reminder methods such as "vibration", "reminder sound", "vibration + reminder sound", and "pop-up window + vibration + reminder sound" can be included, and the user can choose any reminder method. This is not limited in the application examples.

Exemplarily, as shown in (d) in FIG. 7 , if the user selects the reminder mode of “pop-up window + vibration + reminder sound”, then when it is detected that the signal strength of the mobile phone 20 is less than or equal to the preset threshold, the intelligent The watch 10 can simultaneously issue an alarm to the user by displaying a pop-up window on the interface, the vibration of the motor, and issuing a reminder sound of "Di Di Di".

For step 501 , the process described in FIG. 7 shows an example of a process in which the user activates the function of monitoring the signal strength of the smart watch 10 and sets the reminder mode in the initialization stage. In addition to this, the process of step 501 and the process of step 502 can also be implemented in other ways, for example, by controlling the smart watch 10 and the mobile phone 20 to turn on the monitoring signal and reminding functions at the same time only through the operation on the mobile phone 20, or only The smart watch 10 and the mobile phone 20 are simultaneously controlled to enable the functions of monitoring signals and reminding through an operation on the smart watch 10, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

Optionally, during the pairing and connection process of the mobile phone 20 and the smart watch 10 , the working mode, reminder mode, etc. of the smart watch 10 may be set, and other possible implementation modes are not described in detail in this embodiment of the present application.

In addition to the implementation process of the initialization phase of the smart watch 10 described above, the function of monitoring the signal strength of the smart watch 10 can also be a function preset when the smart watch 10 leaves the factory. In other words, as long as the smart watch 10 and the mobile phone 20 are connected, The function of monitoring signal strength may be enabled; or, the function of monitoring signal strength may also be a function preset in the operating system of the smart watch 10 .

Or, in another possible implementation manner, the mobile phone 20 can first establish an association relationship with the smart watch 10 through an application (such as sports health, settings, etc.), and then set the mobile phone based on a user account (such as the same Huawei account). 20 and the initialization process of the smart watch 10. In the subsequent use process, when the mobile phone 20 and the smart watch 10 are connected again by any means such as Bluetooth, NFC, data network, etc., an application program can be automatically run in the background, and the signal strength monitoring function can be turned on through the application program; Or, after the connection is established, the signal strength monitoring function is automatically turned on based on the associated settings of the same user account; or, when the mobile phone 20 or the smart watch 10 detects that the user is in an outdoor adventure scene, the signal strength monitoring function is automatically turned on. This application The embodiment does not limit this.

For step 503 in the initialization phase, the server 30 may periodically refresh the latest location coordinate data of the mobile phone 20 according to the preset refresh frequency, or, after receiving the message from the mobile phone 20, the server 30 triggers to refresh the latest location coordinate data of the mobile phone 20. , which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

Optionally, the server 30 may also store emergency contact information related to the user. In the implementation process of the embodiment of the present application, when the server 30 does not receive the latest location coordinate data fed back by the mobile phone 20 within a certain period of time, it can push a reminder message to the stored emergency contact related to the user.

It should be understood that a map is stored on the server 30 side, and the user's route can be marked according to the multiple location coordinates reported by the mobile phone 20 . In this process, the mobile phone 20 only needs to upload the user's location coordinates without uploading data such as maps and routes, which can reduce the amount of data transmission, save communication resources, and reduce power consumption of the mobile phone.

A possible implementation process of the initialization phase in the embodiments of the present application is described above. It should be understood that the embodiments of the present application do not limit the order in which steps 501 , 502 and 503 are executed and the timing of each step.

It should also be understood that, in addition to the implementation process of the initialization phase described above, the implementation process may also be a function preset at the factory of the smart watch 10 and/or the mobile phone 20, or the operating system of the smart watch 10 and/or the mobile phone 20 The functions preset in the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto.

Stage Two: Data Collection Stage

The data collection stage mainly involves the interaction between the mobile phone 20 and the smart watch 10 . This stage can be understood as a process in which the mobile phone 20 monitors the signal strength and determines whether it is necessary to remind the user through the smart watch 10 . Specifically, the process includes steps 504-507 shown in Figure 5:

504 , the mobile phone 20 collects the current signal strength, and determines whether the signal strength is less than or equal to a preset threshold.

Specifically, in conjunction with the software architecture shown in FIG. 4 , this step 504 can be performed by the signal strength management module of the mobile phone 20 to obtain the current signal strength of the mobile phone 20. In addition, the signal strength management module can also store a preset threshold value , for example, the preset threshold defaults to -75dBm, which corresponds to 25% of the signal strength when the mobile phone is full.

Exemplarily, in combination with the scene shown in FIG. 1 , during the user's mountaineering expedition, the signal strength between the starting points A and B is greater than the preset threshold; when the user reaches point B, the current signal strength collected by the mobile phone 20 begins to reach the preset threshold. Threshold, for example, less than or equal to the preset threshold -75dBm.

505 , when the signal strength is less than or equal to the preset threshold, the mobile phone 20 sends a reminder request to the smart watch 10 .

506 , the smart watch 10 receives the reminder request sent by the mobile phone 20 , and determines whether the reminder request is a reminder for the signal strength of the mobile phone 10 .

In a possible implementation manner, the messages between the smart watch 10 and the mobile phone 20 are all sent through the established Bluetooth channel, and the types of the messages may not be distinguished. When the mobile phone 20 determines that the signal strength is less than or equal to the preset threshold, it sends a reminder request to the smart watch 10, and the reminder request is also carried in the message between the smart watch 10 and the mobile phone 20. Therefore, when the smart watch 10 receives the message , it can be determined whether the message includes a reminder request for reminding the user that the signal strength of the mobile phone is less than the preset threshold.

In another possible implementation manner, the reminder request may be sent to the smart watch 20 as an independent message, then the method may not include step 506, and the smart watch 20 may determine that the message is for reminder according to the type and content of the message, etc. The reminder request that the signal strength of the user's mobile phone is less than the preset threshold is not repeated in this embodiment of the present application.

507 , when the smart watch 20 determines that the reminder request is a reminder for signal strength, remind the user according to the set reminder mode.

FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram of an example of a smart watch reminder method provided by an embodiment of the present application. Specifically, the smart watch 20 can remind the user according to the reminding method set by the user in the initialization stage.

In a possible implementation manner, as shown in (a) of FIG. 8 , the smart watch 20 may remind the user by means of vibration. Specifically, after the smart watch 10 receives the reminder request, the drive motor vibrates.

In another possible implementation manner, as shown in (b) of FIG. 8 , the smart watch 20 may remind the user by sending out a reminder audio through a buzzer. Specifically, after receiving the reminder request, the smart watch 10 drives the buzzer to generate a reminder prompt of "di di di" or a reminder voice of "the signal strength of the mobile phone is low".

In another possible implementation manner, as shown in (c) of FIG. 8 , the smart watch 20 may remind the user by displaying the first window 801 on the interface. Specifically, after receiving the reminder request, the smart watch 10 automatically pops up a first window 801 on the interface, displaying a reminder message of “low signal strength”, and the user can click anywhere on the first window 801 to close the first window 801 . Alternatively, the first window displays an automatic message on the smart watch 10 for a certain period of time, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

Optionally, the upper right corner of the first window 801 may further include a close button, and the user can also click the close button to close the reminder first window 801; or, the user can close the reminder first window 801 by pressing the mechanical button; Alternatively, the user closes the first reminder window 801 through a shortcut operation, and the shortcut operation may include operations such as the user holding the smart watch 10 to rotate a fixed number of turns, a fixed angle, and a slap.

It should be understood that, in the embodiment of the present application, the reminder window (eg, the first window 801 ) on the smart watch 10 can be adapted to the size of the display screen on the smart watch 10 , for example, the reminder window is displayed in a suspended manner on the display screen of the smart watch 10 , occupy a part of the display screen of the smart watch 10; or the reminder window on the smart watch 10 occupies the entire interface of the display screen of the smart watch 10, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

It should also be understood that the reminder windows listed in the embodiments of the present application may not be displayed to the user in the form of a window, but only be displayed to the user in the form of an interactive interface or an operation interface. For example, the reminder window is the interface of the display screen of the smart watch 10 , which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

It should also be understood that the above-mentioned method of closing the first window 801 by the user can also be used to cancel the vibration of the smart watch 10 or turn off the voice reminder of the buzzer.

Optionally, for the three reminder modes introduced in FIG. 8 , the smart watch 10 can remind the user in a single way, or can be combined with each other to remind the user in two or three ways at the same time, This embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

In addition, the smart watch 20 may periodically remind the user according to the reminding time interval set by the user in the initialization phase. Exemplarily, if the user configures the reminder time interval as 2 times/hour according to (d) in FIG. 7 , as shown in (c) in FIG. 8 , after the user closes the reminder first window 801, if the mobile phone 20 If the signal strength is less than or equal to the preset threshold, a reminder can be continued to the user after 30 minutes according to the process described in FIG. 8 , which will not be repeated here.

The interaction process between the mobile phone 20 and the smart watch 10 in the data collection stage is described above with reference to FIG. 5 and FIG. 8 .

To sum up, in the embodiment of the present application, when the mobile phone 20 determines that the current signal strength is less than or equal to the preset threshold, it sends a reminder request to the smart watch 10, and reminds the user based on the smart watch 10 to remind the mobile phone 20 of the Signal strength is too low.

Through this solution, for the user's mountaineering adventure and other scenarios listed in Figure 1, the user does not need to frequently check the mobile phone and other signal detection devices to monitor the signal strength of the mobile phone, and sends reminders to the user through the portable device such as the smart watch worn by the user to ensure that the user can receive timely Reminder information of abnormal mobile phone signal to avoid users being disconnected for a long time in outdoor scenes such as mountaineering adventures, and improve the safety of users' outdoor activities. In addition, the user can set the reminder time interval for the portable device such as the smart watch to send the reminder to the user according to the current demand, which minimizes the disturbance to the user and improves the user experience.

Stage 3: Reminder Processing Stage

The reminder processing stage mainly involves the processing process after the user receives the reminder reminder from the smart watch 10. In this process, the mobile phone 20 and the server 30 can record the user's current location coordinate data to provide the user with a more humane service. Specifically, the process includes steps 508-517 shown in Figure 5:

508. A second window is displayed on the smart watch 10, where the second window is used to display whether the current location information needs to be recorded.

Optionally, the second window and the first window 801 described above may be the same window, in other words, the reminder information of “low signal strength” and the selection information of “whether to record location information” may be displayed in the reminder pop-up window at the same time. , which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

In a possible implementation manner, when the user authorizes the mobile phone 20 on the smart watch 10 to record the user's current position coordinate data, the processes of steps 509-515 are performed.

509 , the smart watch 10 can send a feedback message authorized by the user to the mobile phone 20 .

Optionally, in the data collection stage of this embodiment of the present application, a reminder is sent to the user based on the smart watch 10 worn by the user, and after the user receives the reminder message on the smart watch 10, the user can also authorize the mobile phone 20 to record based on the smart watch 10 worn by the user. The user's current position coordinate data, and upload the data to the server 30 .

FIG. 9 is a schematic diagram of a display interface of an example of a smart watch and a mobile phone provided by an embodiment of the present application. After the user closes any one of the reminders of the smart watch 10, exemplarily, if the user performs the operation shown in (c) of FIG. 8, the smart watch 10 can first close the first window 801, and then display the second window , is used to display "whether to record location information" for the user to choose whether to authorize the mobile phone 20 to record the user's current location coordinate data.

Or, as shown in the second window 901 in (a) of FIG. 9, the pop-up window displays the reminder information of “low signal strength” and the selection information of “whether to record the location information”, and the user clicks “Yes” to respond Based on the user's click operation, the smart watch 10 can send a feedback message of user authorization to the mobile phone 20 , that is, step 509 is executed, and the mobile phone 20 can continue to execute the following step 510 .

Specifically, in combination with the software architecture shown in FIG. 4 , in this process, the user interaction UI module of the smart watch 10 can obtain the user's authorization operation, and then transmit the feedback information of the authorization operation to the mobile phone 20 , and the data authorization management module of the mobile phone 20 According to the feedback message, it is determined to record the current position coordinate data of the user, and it is determined that the signal strength recording module can record the signal strength map of the mobile phone 20, which will not be repeated here.

510 , the mobile phone 20 determines the user's travel route, records the current position coordinate data of the user, and synchronously marks the signal strength map of the mobile phone 20 .

511 , the mobile phone 20 sends the current position coordinate data of the user to the server 30 .

Exemplarily, for the processes of steps 510 and 511, a window 902 as shown in (b) in FIG. 9 may be displayed on the mobile phone 20 to prompt the user that the mobile phone 20 is uploading the user's current position coordinate data to the server 30. .

Alternatively, the user may not check the mobile phone during this process, the mobile phone 20 is in the locked screen state, no window or prompt information is displayed, and the location coordinate data is only shared with the server 30 through the sports health application in the background of the mobile phone 20. The application embodiments do not limit this.

512 , the server 30 saves the current position coordinate data of the user sent by the mobile phone 20 .

513 , the server 30 sends a feedback message that the recording is completed to the mobile phone 20 .

514 , the mobile phone 20 returns to the smart watch 10 a feedback message that the recording of the location coordinate data has been completed, and prompts the user that the recording of the location coordinate data has been completed.

515, the mobile phone 20 records and locally stores the signal strength map (flag).

Optionally, in combination with the scenario shown in FIG. 1 , when the user is on a mountaineering expedition, in the path B-C-D-E in the poor signal area, the mobile phone 20 can upload the location coordinate data to the server 30 by using the method provided in this embodiment of the present application. When the user is in a dangerous area with poor signal for a long time, or gets lost and cannot return safely, the external rescuer can rely on the location coordinate data stored in the server 30 to carry out the rescue in a timely and accurate manner, which improves the user's safety in scenarios such as outdoor adventures. safety.

In addition, the mobile phone 20 can also record a signal strength map, that is, record the location of the mobile phone 20 and the corresponding signal strength, and the change process of the signal strength as the user's route changes.

Exemplarily, in conjunction with the scenario shown in FIG. 1, the mobile phone 20 can record the signal strengths of different positions A, B, C, D, E, F, etc. during the user's mountaineering expedition. When the signal strength is -110dBm and below), there is no need to connect to the Internet. The user can find the basic communication closest to the current location on the mobile phone 20 according to the previously recorded signal strength map (for example, the signal strength is between -90dBm and -100dBm). ), the user can go to the basically communicable location and request other rescues according to the signal strength map.

In the above implementation process, the signal strength map recorded by the mobile phone 20 and saved locally can be used when the user is in a dangerous situation where the terrain is complex, or the user cannot return safely and the mobile phone is basically unable to communicate due to getting lost, without relying on the network, providing the user with a kind of The method of returning to the safe position closest to the current position improves the security of the user's outdoor adventure and other scenarios, and improves the user experience. In addition, the signal strength map is stored locally in the mobile phone 20, which can also save communication resources, reduce the amount of data transmitted between the mobile phone and the server to a certain extent, and reduce the power consumption of the mobile phone.

In a possible implementation manner, for step 515, the mobile phone 20 may also periodically upload a small amount or part of the relevant data of the signal strength map. In this implementation manner, external rescuers can use the server or the relevant data to reduce the difficulty of rescue and improve rescue efficiency.

Optionally, the server 30 may also store emergency contact information related to the user. In another implementation process of the embodiment of the present application, when the server 30 does not receive the latest location coordinate data fed back by the mobile phone 20 within a certain period of time, it can push the reminder message to the stored emergency contact related to the user, and further Improve the safety of users in outdoor adventures and other scenarios.

In another possible implementation manner, when the user chooses not to authorize the mobile phone 20 to record the user's current position coordinate data on the smart watch 10, the processes of steps 516-517 are performed.

516 , the smart watch 10 may send a feedback message that the user chooses not to authorize to the mobile phone 20 .

517 , the mobile phone 20 sleeps the reminder process, no longer records the current position coordinate data of the user, restarts the reminder process after a fixed time, and continues to perform the processes of steps 504 to 517 cyclically.

In another possible situation, the mobile phone 20 may fail to record the current location coordinate data of the user. If the mobile phone 20 fails to record the data, the above process may continue to be performed again, and the smart watch 10 will be reminded again synchronously to remind the user. If the user chooses not to record the reminder information after receiving the reminder information, the mobile phone 20 can temporarily sleep according to step 517, and the mobile phone background will restart the above reminder process after a certain period of time according to the reminder time interval set in the initialization stage. When the mobile phone 20 monitors the signal again After the intensity is less than or equal to the preset threshold, the user is reminded based on the smart watch 10 again, which will not be repeated here.

Exemplarily, with reference to the scenario shown in FIG. 1 , the above process can be described as when the user is on a mountaineering expedition, the reminder method provided by this embodiment of the present application has been started from the starting point A, that is, the initialization phase has been completed. When the user reaches point B, the mobile phone signal starts to weaken. When it is less than or equal to the preset threshold, the mobile phone 20 sends a reminder request to the smart watch 10. After receiving the reminder request, the smart watch 10 can use vibration, reminder sound, or a pop-up window at the same time to remind the user.

Further, the user can choose to authorize the mobile phone 20 to record the user location data on the smart watch 10. After receiving the authorization feedback message, the mobile phone 20 sends the current user location data to the server 30, and the server 30 stores the user location data.

When the user proceeds to areas C, D, etc. with little signal, the user can choose whether to continue the expedition. If you continue to explore, you can set a fixed time (for example, 1 day) on the server 30 side. When the user has not left the areas with poor signal such as C and D and reaches the signal recovery point E within the fixed time, the server 30 can push the reminder information to The user has set an emergency contact in advance so that the user can be rescued in time. In the rescue process, according to the user location data stored in the server 30, the location where the last signal of the user is weak can be found as soon as possible, which improves the rescue efficiency.

Optionally, any of the scenarios described above may be implemented in a system that does not include the server 30 . Exemplarily, in a possible implementation process, when the mobile phone 20 detects that the signal strength is less than or equal to a preset threshold, a reminder is sent to the user through the smart watch 10, and the mobile phone 20 records the user's position change process and saves it locally. When the user gets lost, the user's previous route information can be provided to the user, and the user can also return to the original route according to the locally saved route in the case of inability to communicate, so as to quickly find a safe area where communication is possible.
