Mobile terminal and communication method thereof

Abstract

The invention discloses a mobile terminal communication method. An external antenna is arranged in a protective back cover of a mobile terminal. The method comprises the following steps that: the mobile terminal detects signal intensity in a current environment; and the mobile terminal is controlled to use an internal antenna or the external antenna to perform wireless communication according to the detected signal intensity value. The invention also discloses the mobile terminal. By the method and the mobile terminal, a good communication effect can be achieved in an environment which has low signal quality, so that communication quality can be improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of mobile terminals, in particular to a mobile terminal and a communication method thereof. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of modern communication technology and the increase of people's demand for information, mobile communication devices such as mobile phones have gradually become an indispensable communication tool in people's daily life. As users of mobile terminals, in addition to requiring mobile terminals to have their traditional portability, users also put forward higher requirements for the appearance and volume of mobile terminals such as mobile phones, which makes the appearance of mobile terminals on the market fashionable. , small size, extremely slim features. However, the reduction in volume and thickness will lead to a decrease in the performance of communication product antennas, which will affect the communication of mobile terminals, especially in areas ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, the reduction in volume and thickness will lead to a decrease in the performance of communication product antennas, which will affect the communication of mobile terminals, especially in areas where signal coverage is not very good, such as: in cities due to buildings However, in the signal blind areas, rural areas and outdoor areas, how to achieve good communication in these weak signal areas for mobile terminals such as mobile phones has become an urgent problem in the field of mobile terminals.

[0003] At present, the introduction of an external antenna is an effective way to solve the problem of poor communication in weak signal areas. However, the existing technical solutions either need to temporarily assemble a usable external antenna from attached small objects, or require the user to determine the current The strength of the communication signal in the environment, artificially judge whether it is necessary to access the external antenna, if necessary, connect the external antenna carried to the mobile terminal, and take the external antenna out of the mobile terminal when it is not needed

Moreover, once the external antenna is connected, regardless of the strength of the communication signal in the current environment, the external antenna can only be used for communication. If you want to use the mobile terminal's own antenna, you must manually pull out the external antenna. In the current environment, the strength of the communication signal intelligently selects the built-in or external antenna for communication, which reduces the user experience

In addition, in the prior art, the external antenna has been physically connected to and pulled out of the mobile terminal many times, the physical access interface is easy to wear and tear, and the reliability and effective use time of the external antenna will face the test; The built-in antenna needs to be carried around when not in use, which will also greatly reduce the user experience
