In order to make the object, technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, rather than all embodiments . Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by persons of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts belong to the protection scope of the present invention.

The terms "first", "second" and the like in the description and claims of the present invention and the above drawings are used to distinguish different objects, rather than to describe a specific order. Furthermore, the terms "include" and "have", as well as any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, system, product or device comprising a series of steps or units is not limited to the listed steps or units, but optionally also includes unlisted steps or units, or optionally further includes For other steps or units inherent in these processes, methods or apparatuses.

The embodiment of the present invention provides a method for outputting a prompt message, which can prevent the signal strength of the WiFi antenna from decreasing due to the position of the WiFi antenna of the terminal device being held by the user. Each will be described in detail below.

Please refer to FIG. 1 . FIG. 1 is a schematic flowchart of a method for outputting a prompt message disclosed in an embodiment of the present invention. Wherein, the method for outputting a prompt message shown in FIG. 1 may include the following steps:

101. Monitor whether the terminal device is switched from the portrait mode to the landscape mode.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the terminal device may be a smart phone, a smart watch, a handheld computer, a tablet computer, a personal digital assistant (Personal Digital Assistant, PDA), a sales terminal (Point of Sales, POS), etc. repeat.

In the embodiment of the present invention, when playing a video, playing a game, etc., it is necessary to switch the terminal device from a portrait mode to a landscape mode. For example, when the user needs to use both hands to play a game on the terminal device, he will switch the terminal device from portrait mode to landscape mode, and hold both ends of the terminal device with both hands to fix the terminal device.

Since the WiFi antenna of the terminal device is usually configured on the upper part of the terminal device, in the portrait mode, the user holds the lower part of the terminal device, so it will not block the WiFi antenna; in the landscape mode, the user is likely to hold the Both ends of the terminal device, thus covering the WiFi antenna.

However, due to the limited transmission power of the router that provides WiFi signals, it cannot provide a large transmission power like a cell base station. Therefore, the requirements for the receiving efficiency of the WiFi antenna are high. The receiving power of the WiFi may be reduced by 10-15dBm or more, which will seriously affect the signal strength of WiFi.

102. If the terminal device is switched from the portrait mode to the landscape mode, determine whether the terminal device is connected to a wireless fidelity WiFi network.

Based on the sensitive characteristic of the receiving efficiency of the WiFi antenna, it should be avoided that the user holds the position of the WiFi antenna of the terminal device. Therefore, when the terminal device is switched from portrait mode to landscape mode, and the terminal device is currently connected to the WiFi network, it is judged that the user is likely to hold the position of the WiFi antenna of the terminal device, and the user should be reminded by outputting a prompt message, etc. Avoid holding the WiFi antenna position.

103. If the terminal device is connected to the WiFi network, output a first prompt message to prompt the user to avoid holding the position of the WiFi antenna of the terminal device.

As an optional implementation manner, the terminal device may output a dialog box on the display interface to prompt the user to avoid holding the position of the WiFi antenna of the terminal device. In addition, the terminal device can also provide prompts through effects such as prompt sound and vibration.

It can be seen that by implementing the method described in Figure 1, when the terminal device is connected to the WiFi network and switched to the horizontal screen state, a prompt message can be output to remind the user to avoid holding the WiFi antenna position, so as to avoid the WiFi antenna being blocked and causing The reception efficiency is reduced, thereby increasing the WiFi signal strength of the terminal device.

Please refer to FIG. 2A. FIG. 2A is a schematic flowchart of another method for outputting a prompt message disclosed in an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Figure 2A, the method may include the following steps:

201. Monitor whether the terminal device is switched from a portrait mode to a landscape mode.

Since the WiFi antenna of the terminal device is usually configured on the upper part of the terminal device, in the portrait mode, the user holds the lower part of the terminal device, so it will not block the WiFi antenna; in the landscape mode, the user is likely to hold the Both ends of the terminal device, thus covering the WiFi antenna.

202. If the terminal device is switched from the above-mentioned portrait mode to the above-mentioned landscape mode, determine whether the terminal device is connected to a wireless fidelity WiFi network.

203. If the terminal device is connected to the WiFi network, acquire the first signal strength after the terminal device switches to the landscape mode.

When the terminal device is connected to the WiFi network and switches from portrait mode to landscape mode, further judge whether the signal strength of the terminal device has changed significantly before and after switching to landscape mode. If there is a large change, it is determined that the WiFi antenna of the terminal device is blocked by the user's hand.

As an optional implementation manner, the terminal device obtains the current signal strength as the first signal strength when detecting that the terminal device switches to the landscape mode.

204. Acquire the second signal strength stored in the history record before the terminal device switches to the landscape mode.

As an optional implementation, the terminal device detects the mode (horizontal screen mode or vertical screen mode) and signal strength of the terminal device at a preset time interval at that time, and sends the detected signal Intensity values and their corresponding modes are stored in history.

After the terminal device is switched to the horizontal screen mode, the terminal device queries the historical records, and acquires the last monitored signal strength value before switching to the horizontal screen mode as the second signal strength.

205. If the difference between the second signal strength minus the first signal strength is greater than the preset signal attenuation threshold, output a first prompt message to prompt the user to avoid holding the WiFi antenna position of the terminal device.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the attenuation value of the signal strength after the terminal device switches to the landscape mode is determined by calculating the difference between the second signal strength and the first signal strength. If the attenuation value of the above-mentioned signal strength is greater than the preset signal attenuation threshold, it is determined that the user is holding the WiFi antenna position of the terminal device, so that a prompt message can be output to remind the user to avoid holding the WiFi antenna position of the terminal device.

As an optional implementation manner, the terminal device may also directly detect whether the position of the WiFi antenna of the terminal device is blocked through a sensor, where the optional sensors include an infrared sensor, an ultrasonic sensor, a pressure sensor, and the like.

For example, the terminal device uses an infrared sensor to detect whether the WiFi antenna position of the terminal device is blocked; if the WiFi antenna position of the terminal device is blocked, a first prompt message is output to remind the user to avoid holding the WiFi antenna position of the terminal device.

In addition, you can also set the signal strength threshold, continuously record the signal strength of the terminal device after switching to landscape mode, and calculate the average signal strength in landscape mode, if the average signal strength is less than the above signal strength threshold, then The foregoing first prompt message is output to prompt the user to avoid holding the position of the WiFi antenna of the terminal device.

206. Output a second prompt message to determine whether the user knows the location of the WiFi antenna.

Since different manufacturers and different types of terminal devices have different positions of WiFi antennas, the user probably does not know the position of the WiFi antenna on the terminal device. Therefore, a dialog box can be output to enable the user to choose whether to know the location of the WiFi antenna. If the user does not know the location of the WiFi antenna, the user can be informed of the location of the WiFi antenna by means of demonstration animation or transparent marks.

207. If the user does not know the location of the WiFi antenna, output an animation presentation to inform the user of the location of the WiFi antenna.

For example, the terminal device can output a demonstration animation to inform the user of the above-mentioned WiFi antenna position. In the demonstration animation, the shape of the antenna is marked by a thickened edge, and the position of the antenna is indicated by an arrow.

208. Output a third prompt message to enable the user to select whether to display the above-mentioned WiFi antenna position on the display interface.

209. If the user chooses to display the location of the WiFi antenna on the display interface, use a transparent icon to mark the location of the WiFi antenna on the display interface.

As shown in FIG. 2B, FIG. 2B is a schematic diagram of a display interface including a WiFi antenna location identification; assuming that the WiFi antenna is near the upper edge of the screen, the location of the WiFi antenna can be identified on the display screen through a transparent icon. Since the icon is transparent, it will not affect the user's normal viewing of the content displayed on the screen, and it can always remind the user of the location of the WiFi antenna to avoid blocking the WiFi antenna by hand.

It can be seen that, by implementing the method described in FIG. 2A , when the terminal device is connected to the WiFi network and switched to the horizontal screen state, a prompt message can be output to remind the user to avoid holding the WiFi antenna position, so as to avoid the WiFi antenna being blocked and causing The reception efficiency is reduced, thereby increasing the WiFi signal strength of the terminal device.

However, due to the limited transmission power of the router that provides WiFi signals, it cannot provide a large transmission power like a cell base station. Therefore, the requirements for the receiving efficiency of the WiFi antenna are high. The receiving power of the WiFi may be reduced by 10-15dBm or more, which will seriously affect the signal strength of WiFi.

The first output unit 303 is configured to, if the terminal device is connected to the WiFi network, output a first prompt message to prompt the user to avoid holding the position of the WiFi antenna of the terminal device.

As an optional implementation manner, the first output unit 303 may output a dialog box on the display interface to prompt the user to avoid holding the WiFi antenna position of the terminal device.

Therefore, the second output unit 304 can output a dialog box to allow the user to choose whether to know the location of the WiFi antenna.
