Description

Method for prompting signal strength, a terminal and a server technical field

The embodiments of the present invention relate to the communication field, and in particular to a method for prompting signal strength, a terminal and a server.

Background technique

With the gradual popularization of smart terminals, smart terminals have become an indispensable communication tool in people's daily life. Smart terminals can use network signals to receive and send information anytime and anywhere.

The network signal strength of a smart terminal is affected by many factors such as the environment and network coverage, and the signal strength of a smart terminal in different geographical locations may vary greatly. The smart terminal displays the current signal strength on the display area in the form of an icon after processing the received actual signal strength data. For example, the left side of FIG. 1 is a signal strength display icon of a wireless fidelity (Wireless Fidelity, WIFI) signal, and the right side of FIG. 1 is a signal strength display icon of a 3G network signal. The number of grids of signal strength in the icon is used to indicate the strength of the signal. Usually, 4 grids in the icon indicate good signal strength, 3 grids indicate good signal strength, 2 grids indicate average signal strength, 1 grid indicates poor signal strength, and 0 grids Indicates no signal.

The signal strength display method of the smart terminal in the prior art can only serve to inform the user of the current signal strength, and the user cannot obtain more signal strength information from the signal strength display area of the smart terminal. Therefore, the signal strength display method of the smart terminal in the prior art is not enough to meet the user's demand for signal strength.

In the schematic diagram of the terminal uploading associated information to the server shown in Figure 3, the terminals upload the associated information of their respective signal strengths and geographical locations to the server. Taking terminal A as an example, the associated information uploaded by terminal A includes: the terminal type is Huawei P7U00, the operator type of the terminal is China Unicom, the 3G signal strength of the terminal is 2 bars, the WIFI signal strength is 1 bar, and the current geographical location of the terminal is 114.3512 east longitude, 25.231 north latitude (E114.3512, N25.231).

In this embodiment, optionally, the signal strength request message sent by the terminal to the server may include information such as terminal type, operator type to which the terminal belongs, network signal type, and weather in addition to the current location information of the terminal.

The signal strength prompt information received by the terminal can also include the terminal type, the Information such as carrier type, network signal type, and weather.

In this embodiment, the signal strength corresponding to the current location information may be implemented in the following two manners, but is not limited thereto.

In the first implementation manner, the signal strength corresponding to the current location information includes a first signal strength, the first signal strength indicates the signal strength at a first location, and the first location is a preset distance from the geographic location where the terminal is currently located within the range; at this time, the signal strength prompt information also includes the first location. The first signal strength can be one or more. Specifically, the server uses the pre-acquired association information, the association information includes at least one piece of location information and a signal corresponding to at least one piece of location information. Intensity, the server screens out the associated information in which the location information and the current location information of the terminal are within a preset range, and then uses the signal strength in at least one of the selected associated information as the first signal strength, and uses the selected at least one The location information in the associated information is used as the first location.

The interactive process for the terminal to obtain signal strength prompt information from the server is shown in Figure 4. The signal strength request message sent by the terminal to the server includes the current location information of the terminal at 114.3512 east longitude and 25.231 north latitude. The signal strength prompt information provided by the server received by the terminal includes multiple The associated information uploaded by other terminals, the specific content is shown in Figure 4, and will not be described here.

After receiving the signal strength prompt information, the terminal displays the signal strength on the screen of the terminal according to the signal strength prompt information. specific,

The terminal may display the received first signal strength on the electronic map of the terminal according to the first position; for example, FIG. 5 is a display effect diagram in which the terminal marks and displays the received signal strength prompt information on the electronic map. It can be seen from FIG. 5 , the signal strength prompt information received by the terminal this time includes three first signal strengths, the three first signal strengths are obtained by the server from the associated information uploaded by three other terminals, and the signal strength prompt information also includes the terminal type , the geographic location of the terminal, the operator type, signal type, and signal strength of the terminal. or

Through the signal strength prompt information provided by the server, the terminal user can know the signal strength of other terminals in the vicinity of the current geographical location, so as to adjust the signal strength of the terminal by comparing and analyzing the signal strength of the terminal and the signal strength of other terminals. to the best condition. For example, the user can move the terminal within a short distance to avoid the terminal being in an area with local poor signal.

In the second implementation manner, the signal strength corresponding to the current location information includes an average signal strength, which is an average value of at least two second signal strengths; each second signal strength represents a signal strength at a second location , the second location is within a preset distance range of the geographic location where the terminal is currently located. Specifically, according to the associated information obtained in advance, the server screens out The location information in the associated information is associated with the current location information of the terminal within a preset range, and then the signal strength in the at least two selected associated information is used as the second signal strength, and the signal strength in the at least two selected associated information is used as the second signal strength.
