In order to enable those skilled in the art to understand the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure more clearly, the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail below through specific examples.

Embodiment one

FIG. 16 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the control frame in this embodiment. As shown in Figure 16, it includes a signal detection module L1, a network signal conversion module L2, a variable state middle frame L3, a frame color change control module L4, a frame heating control module L5, a frame signal quality prompt module L6, and a frame grip posture adjustment module L7, frame direction guide module L8, base station position frame guide module L9.

The signal detection module L1 is connected to the frame color change control module L4, and is used for collecting signal quality parameters of 4G or 5G terminals. The terminal collects one or more of the following signals, and through the default mapping or user-defined settings, the network parameters and the corresponding borders or one-to-one correspondence are displayed for color-changing display prompts. As shown in the figure below, signal quality parameters include: Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP, Reference Signal Receiving Power), SNR, number of data streams or throughput, etc. The signal quality parameters are collected through the built-in antenna of the terminal, and then enter the RF main chip after frequency division, filtering, and amplification in the RF front-end circuit, and then undergo frequency conversion and IQ conversion, and then transmit to the baseband main chip through the Qlink signal line for digital processing and conversion. into signal quality parameters.

The network signal conversion module L2 is connected with the signal detection module L1 and the frame color change control module L4, and is used for conversion from signal quality parameters to color change parameters of each display module. Because there are many specific values of signal quality parameters, but few easy-to-observe displayable colors or temperature sensing values, it is necessary to convert signal quality parameters into simple and regular signal identification parameters for easy border indication. For example, the signal identification parameters include the number of 5G MIMO channels currently connected to the base station by the terminal: 1 stream, 2 streams, 3 streams, and 4 streams; the RSRP signal strength of each MIMO antenna and the SNR level of the signal quality parameter, such as 1 grid, 2 grids, 3 grids; mobile phone temperature: high temperature, medium temperature, normal temperature; mobile phone uplink and downlink throughput levels: high, medium and low. Taking signal quality or throughput as an example, the current signal strength or throughput is indicated by the color depth of a specific position on the rear shell or frame of the terminal.

The frame L3 in the variable state is connected to the frame color change control module L4 and the frame heating control module L5, and is used to display signal guidance information, including changes in color and temperature. The color-changing middle frame realizes the color change through the material with electro-change properties. The optical property of the electro-change material can undergo a stable, continuous and reversible color change under the action of an external electric field, or a control signal, or a heat-change signal. The electrochromic material adopts low-power cool-colored glass or metal material, or adds an electrochromic layer to the existing metal or frame material. Due to the low working voltage, the power consumption is extremely low. The color can be configured by default or customized by the user. The temperature-changing middle frame is realized by the metal antenna frame and the heat generation circuit, which generates a short-lived, pulsed apex heat source to the corresponding position of the frame antenna, and the highest temperature is lower than the scorching temperature value. If it is detected that the user removes the finger from the sensitive antenna area, the heat will be turned off.

The frame of the terminal is divided into M sub-areas, and each sub-area corresponds to a different antenna. If it is a metal frame antenna, the metal frame itself is the antenna; if it is an FPC antenna, the LDS area near the metal frame also represents the corresponding antenna. When the user registers or connects to a cell base station network, the corresponding antenna frame or area is highlighted through the color-changing display control.

In this embodiment, the user can customize the highlighted color. The darker the color of the sub-area corresponding to the antenna, the better the signal strength of the antenna; the lighter the color of the sub-area corresponding to the antenna, the stronger the signal strength of the antenna. weak. There are several antennas currently working, and the sub-areas corresponding to several antennas will be highlighted, so that the user can clearly and directly understand the current terminal antenna usage, and can also intuitively feel the current antenna signal strength.

In this embodiment, the signal strength of the antenna may also be indicated by corresponding to the activity of the surface current on the antenna. The principle is that the antenna of the terminal transmits or receives external electromagnetic wave signals during the working process. Under the action of a given excitation source, a certain surface current distribution will be formed in the corresponding fallback area of the antenna. The stronger the surface current, the more active the antenna is. The higher the antenna efficiency, the stronger the signal at the current frequency. In this embodiment, the corresponding surface current distribution on the frame or the back shell is visualized and converted into the color change of the corresponding area of the frame or the back shell. The darker the color, the more active the surface current and the higher the energy radiation; on the contrary, The lighter the color, the less active the surface current is.

The frame discoloration control module L4 is connected with other modules for controlling and adjusting the discoloration of the middle frame. The frame color change control module L4 converts it into an identifiable signal identifier according to the detection results of the terminal antenna signal, and then controls it to be converted into a color change control unit, controls the relevant parts of the middle frame to display color change, and guides the user to change the grip posture, orientation, and orientation etc. to adjust the signal quality.

In this embodiment, the border adopts a segmented color-changing control mechanism, that is, the border of the terminal is divided into corresponding sub-regions according to the antenna distribution, and the user can customize the favorite color-changing color and the network performance status that needs to be associated in the UI menu, for example, Red indicates weak signal, yellow indicates medium signal, and green indicates strong signal; the default color change definition can also be used.

The frame heating control module L5 is connected to other modules for controlling and adjusting the middle frame heating. The frame heating control module L5 converts it into an identifiable signal identifier according to the detection result of the terminal antenna signal, and then controls it to be converted into a middle frame segmental temperature control unit, and controls the relevant parts of the middle frame to display signal quality and heat generation for guidance The user changes the grip posture, orientation, azimuth, etc. to adjust the signal quality.

During the use of the terminal, it is difficult to observe the color change of the middle frame in some scenes, for example, the user is not sensitive to the color in dim or strong light conditions. At this time, the segmented temperature control scheme of the middle frame can be adopted. When the user's hand-held point touches the sensitive antenna position, the heating of this frame segment or area is controlled to remind the user that the current holding position is an incorrect holding point. Change your grip.

In this embodiment, the temperature of the frame is controlled by generating current through heat generation, wherein the heat generation circuit is connected to the metal frame, and can be turned on or off through a switch to generate intermittent and short-term heat generation control temperature impulses. The heat generation circuit is based on The wireless module of the terminal itself, such as WIFI module or 2G, 3G, 4G, 5G cellular module. Taking a certain frequency band of 5G as an example, the heating NR frequency band has different requirements from the existing working frequency band, and can work at the same time, so that the current network registration and working frequency band can be guaranteed to be uninterrupted during the heating process.

The border signal quality prompt module L6 is connected with the border discoloration control module L4 and the border heating control module L5, and is used for dynamic tracking and display based on signal quality parameters. For example, it may be a dynamic display of the signal strength of a single MIMO antenna, or a dynamic display of the signal strength of multiple MIMO antennas. The signal guidance information indicating the signal strength of each MIMO antenna can have multiple color-changing forms, such as the color-changing depth of the rear case, or the number of color-changing grids on the frame, such as 1 grid, 2 grids, 3 grids, and 4 grids.

In this embodiment, the throughput tracking and color-changing display mechanism of the signal quality is based on the dynamic display of different colors or the number of frame segments based on the current up and down throughput of the terminal, such as 0 flow, low flow, medium flow, and large flow They correspond to different colors, or different shades of the same color.

The color-changing middle frame can also be dynamically displayed in real time based on the current number of 5G MIMO channel openings, such as stream 1, stream 2, stream 3, and stream 4 corresponding to different frequency bands and positions of the middle frame. Taking the metal frame antenna as an example, the resonance and parasitic of different antenna frequency bands are realized through different segments of the metal frame. A certain segment of the antenna represents a certain NR main frequency band or MIMO frequency band. When a certain frequency band of NR such as N78 is performing throughput downloading, if the current state is 4*4MIMO, the four antennas corresponding to N78 will work at the same time, that is, the corresponding four metal frame antenna segments are working at the same time, and the color can be changed dynamically The color of the corresponding border position will be displayed. When several antennas are working, the color of several antennas will change. The higher the throughput on the corresponding antenna, the darker the color will be.

The frame grip posture adjustment module L7 is connected with the frame discoloration control module L4 and the frame heating control module L5, and is used for correct grip posture and orientation adjustment guidance for signal quality adjustment. During the use of 5G terminals, due to the high frequency, weak signal, and many antennas, for the NSA system, the LTE anchor point and NR must work at the same time. If four antennas work together for LTE and the other four antennas work together for NR, then Added together are eight antennas working together. Therefore, there is a high probability that some antennas will be held by the user's palm or fingers. However, if the user accidentally holds the corresponding antenna area or antenna breakpoint during use, the performance of the corresponding antenna will be greatly affected, which in turn will affect the voice or throughput communication quality of the current 5G terminal.

In this embodiment, the user is guided to the correct holding posture, orientation, and position through the color change of the back shell and frame of the mobile phone. Among them, A, B, C, and D are NR frequency band antennas. Because the user accidentally touches or touches the area where antenna A is located, the performance of antenna A is greatly affected. At this time, the color change of the corresponding segment of the border can prompt the user to avoid this position. In this embodiment, the user may also be prompted to hold the correct position and contact point, thereby enhancing the performance of the antenna.

The frame direction guidance module L8 is connected with the frame discoloration control module L4 and the frame heating control module L5, and is used for adjusting and guiding the orientation of end users. During the use of 5G terminals, due to high frequency, weak signal, and many antennas, LTE anchor antennas are sometimes required for NSA standards, that is, the quality of 5G communication is greatly affected by the direction you hold.

5G signal orientation is sensitive, that is, the direction and orientation between the mobile phone and the base station are very sensitive. If there are other obstacles in the middle, the attenuation and scattering of high-frequency electromagnetic waves will have a great impact on the 5G signal. However, users often do not know where the correct orientation and orientation are, so the application signal requirements cannot be met. In this embodiment, the maximum radiation direction of the antenna can be detected, and the user can be guided to the correct direction and orientation through the color-changing prompt of the frame, thereby completing the signal quality adjustment based on the color-changing indication of the frame.

If during use, the user terminal is far away from one of the two base stations, or far away from both base stations, the 5G signal will be affected, which in turn will affect the voice or throughput communication quality of the current 5G terminal, and the user's The status is unknown, and 5G is often used in places where it is not suitable or the signal is weak. In this embodiment, the user is guided to find a stronger working signal point through the color-changing prompt of the frame. For example, two sub-regions displaying green indicate the direction of the base station, sub-regions displaying red indicate the direction of weak signal, and displaying yellow sub-region indicates the direction of weak signal. The sub-regions indicate the direction of the signal medium.
