Signal strength display method and mobile terminal

Abstract

The invention provides a signal strength display method. Signal strength detected by a Modem is inquired N times by an AP in one time period, or signal strength detected by a Modem is reported to an AP in one time period, N is a natural number and larger than or equal to 2; the sum S1 of the inquired or reported signal strength in one time period is calculated, and the sum S2 of the inquired or reported signal strength in a next time period is calculated; whether the absolute value of S2-S1 is smaller than a preset value or not is judged, and if yes, the AP does not perform processing; if not, the newest signal strength inquired in the next time period is reported by the AP; the corresponding signal bar is displayed according to the signal strength reported by the AP. Due to the method, the AP awakening frequency is reduced, and the power saving effect is achieved. When the changing degree of the sum of two kinds of signal strength exceeds preset degree, the signal strength is displayed as the newest signal strength inquired in the next time period, and therefore the signal strength detected in the process can be filtered out, and a display signal is stabilized.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of communication technology, in particular to a signal strength display method and device for a mobile terminal. Background technique [0002] The signal strength displayed by the mobile terminal is to measure the current network signal of the mobile terminal in real time through the Modem (modem), report the measurement result to the AP (Application Processor, application processor), and the AP notifies the UI (User Interface, user interface) to perform corresponding interface refresh and display. [0003] An existing method for displaying signal strength is that after the modem reports the real-time measurement result to the AP, the AP does not perform any additional processing and directly reports the received result to the UI. [0004] The inventor finds that the prior art has the following defects in the process of realizing the present invention: [0005] 1. Once the mobile terminal is within the coverage of m...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0005] 1. Once the mobile terminal is in the coverage area of ​​multiple base stations, or is located in a remote mountainous area with less base station coverage, etc., resulting in poor reception of wireless communication signals, the signal grid will change frequently, affecting user experience

[0006] 2. Whenever the Modem reports the real-time detected signal strength to the AP, it must be woken up first, and then the detection result is sent to the AP. The AP will go to sleep after processing. The AP is often woken up, which is not enough to save power.
