The embodiment of the invention provides a signal intensity prompting method, a signal intensity prompting device and terminal equipment, and a user can intuitively know the current network signal intensity according to the prompt of an indicator light and adjust the position of the terminal equipment according to the indicator light so as to improve the network signal intensity.
Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic flow chart illustrating a signal strength indication method according to an embodiment of the present invention. The signal strength prompting method shown in fig. 1 may include the following steps:
101. and monitoring the network signal intensity received by the terminal equipment.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the terminal device may be a smart phone, a smart watch, a palm computer, a tablet computer, a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), a Point of Sales (POS), or the like, and the following description of the embodiment of the present invention will not be repeated.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the terminal device may Access a Mobile Communication network to achieve the purpose of wireless Communication, where the accessible Mobile Communication network may be different standards such as WCDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access), GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication), LTE (Long Term Evolution), and the like, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited.
In the field of mobile communication, the area covered by a radio signal is a cell, and the coverage area covered by a signal of one base station is generally a cell. When the terminal equipment is in the signal coverage range of a certain base station, the communication link is established by acquiring the network resources provided by the base station, so that data transmission is realized. Since the signal coverage of the base station is attenuated from near to far in the cell, and is affected by factors such as multipath effect and building blockage, the terminal equipment in the cell often cannot obtain a good network signal at a certain position to perform normal communication. In addition, when the terminal device is used, the transmission path of electromagnetic waves is blocked by the body parts such as the user's hand and head, and thus the network signal received by the antenna of the terminal device is poor.
Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, the strength of the network signal received by the terminal device is monitored, and whether the network signal of the current terminal device affects the normal communication of the user is determined by using the quantized value of the strength of the network signal, so that the user needs to perform certain posture and position adjustment to obtain a better network signal.
102. And determining the grade of the network signal strength.
In the embodiment of the invention, after the quantized value of the network signal strength is obtained, the grade of the network signal strength is determined according to the preset grade division standard. Wherein, the stronger the network signal strength, the higher the corresponding grade. It should be noted that, for different network systems, the network signal strength is judged to have different ranking standards. For example, milliwatt decibel dBm is used as a network signal strength unit, the network signal strength is divided into five levels of extremely low, medium, high and extremely high, for an LTE network system, -120dBm can be used as a threshold value for judging that the network signal reaches the medium level, if the network signal reaches-50 dBm, the power level can be reached only at a position very close to a base station, and the level is divided into extremely high; whereas for WCDMA-106 dBm can be used as a threshold for the network signal to reach a medium level.
103. And prompting the user of the grade by using an indicator light, so that the user adjusts the position of the terminal equipment according to the prompt of the indicator light to improve the network signal intensity.
In the embodiment of the invention, the lower part of the terminal equipment can be provided with the indicator light, and when a user uses the terminal equipment to carry out operations such as conversation, the flicker of the indicator light can be seen by using the residual light. As an alternative embodiment, the flashing frequency of the indicator light can be used to represent the grade to which the network signal strength belongs, and the stronger the current network signal strength is, the higher the flashing frequency of the indicator light is. Therefore, a user can judge the current network signal intensity condition by observing the flashing frequency of the indicator light, and when the flashing frequency of the indicator light is lower, the user can find a position capable of obtaining stronger network signal intensity by adjusting the shielding condition of the terminal equipment by the direction, the head, the hands and other parts of the terminal equipment.
In the method described in fig. 1, the network signal strength received by the terminal device is monitored, the level to which the network signal strength belongs is determined, the user is prompted with the indicator light for the level, the user can intuitively know the current network signal strength according to the prompt of the indicator light, and the position of the terminal device is adjusted according to the indicator light to improve the network signal strength.
Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a schematic flow chart illustrating another signal strength indication method according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 2, the method may include the steps of:
201. and monitoring the network signal intensity received by the terminal equipment.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the terminal device may Access a Mobile Communication network to achieve the purpose of wireless Communication, where the accessible Mobile Communication network may be different standards such as WCDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access), GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication), LTE (Long Term Evolution), and the like, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited.
In the field of mobile communication, the area covered by a radio signal is a cell, and the coverage area covered by a signal of one base station is generally a cell. When the terminal equipment is in the signal coverage range of a certain base station, the communication link is established by acquiring the network resources provided by the base station, so that data transmission is realized. Since the signal coverage of the base station is attenuated from near to far in the cell, and is affected by factors such as multipath effect and building blockage, the terminal equipment in the cell often cannot obtain a good network signal at a certain position to perform normal communication. In addition, when the terminal device is used, the transmission path of electromagnetic waves is blocked by the body parts such as the user's hand and head, and thus the network signal received by the antenna of the terminal device is poor.
Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, the strength of the network signal received by the terminal device is monitored, and whether the network signal of the current terminal device affects the normal communication of the user is determined by using the quantized value of the strength of the network signal, so that the user needs to perform certain posture and position adjustment to obtain a better network signal.
202. And determining the grade of the network signal strength.
In the embodiment of the invention, after the quantized value of the network signal strength is obtained, the grade of the network signal strength is determined according to the preset grade division standard. Wherein, the stronger the network signal strength, the higher the corresponding grade. It should be noted that, for different network systems, the network signal strength is judged to have different ranking standards. For example, milliwatt decibel dBm is used as a network signal strength unit, the network signal strength is divided into five levels of extremely low, medium, high and extremely high, for an LTE network system, -120dBm can be used as a threshold value for judging that the network signal reaches the medium level, if the network signal reaches-50 dBm, the power level can be reached only at a position very close to a base station, and the level is divided into extremely high; whereas for WCDMA-106 dBm can be used as a threshold for the network signal to reach a medium level.
203. And judging whether the grade is lower than a first preset grade threshold value or not.
In the embodiment of the invention, when the network signal strength is too low, the communication quality of the terminal equipment is influenced. For example, when the network signal strength is classified into five levels, i.e., an extremely low level, a medium level, a high level and an extremely high level, the level is set as a low level as a first preset level threshold, and when the network signal limiting strength is low or even extremely low, a certain prompt needs to be given to the user, so that the network signal strength is improved by changing the position of the terminal device.
204. And if the grade is lower than the first preset grade threshold value, prompting the grade to the user by using the indicator lamp.
In the embodiment of the invention, the lower part of the terminal equipment can be provided with the indicator light, and when a user uses the terminal equipment to carry out operations such as conversation, the flicker of the indicator light can be seen by using the residual light. As an alternative implementation manner, when the level to which the network signal strength of the terminal device belongs is low or even extremely low, the level to which the network signal strength belongs may be represented by using the flashing frequency of the indicator light, and the higher the strength of the current network signal is, the higher the flashing frequency of the indicator light is. Therefore, a user can judge the current network signal intensity condition by observing the flashing frequency of the indicator light, and when the flashing frequency of the indicator light is lower, the user can find a position capable of obtaining stronger network signal intensity by adjusting the shielding condition of the terminal equipment by the direction, the head, the hands and other parts of the terminal equipment.
205. And judging the base station which is currently used for establishing the network link by the terminal equipment.

206. And calculating the reference direction of the terminal equipment capable of receiving the strongest network signal strength at the position according to the position information of the terminal equipment and the base station.
In the embodiment of the invention, due to the directional principle of the antenna, when the antenna of the terminal equipment is matched with the antenna direction of the base station, the strongest network signal at the position can be received at the specific position. Therefore, the terminal device obtains the location information of the base station, and calculates the reference direction capable of receiving the strongest network signal strength at the current location of the terminal device.
207. And sending a prompt message to the user so that the user can adjust the direction of the terminal equipment to the reference direction.
As an optional implementation manner, the terminal device sends a voice prompt message to the user, and prompts the user to adjust the direction of the terminal device to the reference direction.
208. And judging whether the grade is higher than a second preset grade threshold value or not.
In the embodiment of the invention, when the network signal strength received by the terminal equipment exceeds a certain threshold value, excellent communication quality can be ensured. For example, when the network signal strength is classified into five levels, i.e., an extremely low level, a medium level, a high level, and an extremely high level, the level of the high level is set as the second preset level threshold, and when the network signal limit strength is high or extremely high, the better communication quality can be ensured, so that the user can be prompted not to adjust the position of the terminal device.
209. And if the grade is higher than the second preset grade threshold value, prompting the user that the network signal strength reaches the range capable of carrying out smooth communication by using vibration.
In the embodiment of the invention, when the network signal strength received by the terminal device is higher than the second preset level threshold, the network signal strength can ensure smooth communication, so that the position of the terminal device does not need to be continuously adjusted.
210. And turning off the indicator light prompt and the vibration prompt.
In the method described in fig. 2, the network signal strength received by the terminal device is monitored, the level to which the network signal strength belongs is determined, whether the level is lower than a first preset level threshold value and cannot provide a better communication service for the user is determined, and if the level is lower than the first preset level threshold value, the indicator light is used to prompt the user of the level. Meanwhile, the method can also calculate and obtain the reference direction of the strongest network signal intensity which can be obtained by the terminal equipment by utilizing the position relation between the terminal equipment and the base station, and prompt the user to change the direction of the terminal equipment according to the reference direction through a voice message.

Wherein, the stronger the network signal strength, the higher the corresponding grade.
