Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of terminal technology, and specifically relates to a voice communication method, device and terminal. Background Technology

[0002] To meet users' needs for voice and video calls, 5G SA (standalone) networking provides corresponding audio and video call services. To reduce network complexity, 5G SA provides these services through the interconnected Internet Protocol Multimedia Subsystem (IMS). The solution where user equipment (UE) obtains audio and video call services through IMS in 5G SA is also known as Voice over New Radio (VoNR). VoNR offers short call setup times and high-speed data transmission, providing a better user experience and making it the target voice solution for the future.

[0003] However, in actual terminal use, the power consumption of the terminal using VoNR is greater than that of the voice solution on 4G (voice on LTE, VoLTE) and the voice solution on 2G / 3G (CS call), resulting in a significant increase in the terminal's power consumption and a reduction in the terminal's battery life. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application provides a voice communication method, apparatus, and terminal that can solve the problem that increased power consumption and reduced battery life of terminals caused by using VoNR for voice calls.

[0005] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a voice communication method, the method comprising:

[0006] When the terminal is camped in a cell belonging to the first network, the terminal's voice capability under the first network is set to disabled.

[0024] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0025] The terms "first," "second," etc., used in the specification and claims of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and not to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such use of data can be interchanged where appropriate so that embodiments of this application can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first," "second," etc., are generally of the same class and the number of objects is not limited; for example, a first object can be one or more. Furthermore, in the specification and claims, "and / or" indicates at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the preceding and following objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0026] The voice communication method, device, and terminal provided in this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through specific embodiments and application scenarios.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, the voice communication method of this application embodiment includes:

[0028] Step 101: When the terminal is camped in a cell belonging to the first network, set the terminal's voice capability in the first network to disabled.

[0029] Step 102: When the voice capability under the first network is disabled and the terminal needs to perform voice services, connect to the target network and perform voice services on the target network.

[0030] It should be noted that the power consumption of the terminal when conducting voice services on the target network is lower than that when conducting voice services on the first network.

[0031] It should be noted that, since the voice communication capability of a terminal is usually enabled when it accesses a specific network (e.g., a high-version network, optionally a 5G network), the embodiments of this application address the problem that the terminal consumes a lot of power when performing voice services under a specific network. In the embodiments of this application, the terminal's voice capability under a specific network is set to be disabled, that is, the terminal does not use the voice capability under that specific network for voice services, but instead uses the voice capability of a network with lower power consumption (e.g., a low-version network, optionally a 4G network, 2G network, or 3G network) for voice services, thereby reducing the terminal's power consumption.

[0032] Optionally, in the embodiments of this application, the first network refers to a 5G network or a network of a version above 5G; while the target network refers to a network of a version below 5G (i.e., a 4G network, a 2G network, or a 3G network). In other words, the version of the target network is lower than the version of the first network, that is, the network standard of the target network is lower than the network standard of the first network.

[0033] It should be further noted that the terminal does not usually keep its voice capabilities under the first network off. Optionally, step 101 can be implemented as follows:

[0034] When the first condition is met, the terminal's voice capability under the first network is set to an enabled state.

[0035] The first condition includes at least one of the following:

[0036] A11. The network throughput of the terminal is less than or equal to the first preset value;

[0037] This situation refers to a situation where the terminal does not have high-throughput data services; that is, if the terminal does not need to perform high-throughput data services, then even if voice services exist, it will not affect the normal operation of voice services. In this case, the terminal can set the voice capability under the first network to be disabled.

[0038] It should be noted that throughput refers to the average rate at which data is successfully delivered through a terminal per unit of time, usually expressed in bits per second (bps).

[0039] A12. The remaining battery power of the terminal is less than or equal to the second preset value;

[0040] It should be noted that voice communication under the first network will result in a large power consumption of the terminal. If the terminal's own power is low, it may easily cause the terminal to shut down. Therefore, in this case, the voice capability under the first network can be set to disabled.

[0041] It should be further noted that, optionally, one specific implementation of disabling the terminal's voice capability under the first network is as follows:

[0042] Turn off the terminal's voice service on the first network.

[0043] It should be noted that because the terminal can have a switch set inside to enable voice services on the first network (this switch can usually only be controlled by the terminal's processor and cannot be operated directly by the user), when the terminal's voice capability on the first network is enabled, this switch is in the on state, meaning the terminal can perform voice services on the first network. When the voice capability on the first network is disabled, this switch is in the off state, meaning the terminal cannot perform voice services on the first network.

[0044] It should also be noted that the terminal's voice service can be divided into two types: the terminal actively initiating the voice service as the caller and the terminal receiving the voice service as the called party. The specific implementation of step 102 of this application will be explained below for these two situations.

[0045] I. Situation where the terminal acts as the called party receiving voice services

[0046] It should be noted that, in this case, the optional implementation of step 102 is as follows:

[0047] When the voice capability under the first network is disabled and the terminal is receiving voice services, the cell is switched or reselected from the first network to a cell under the second network.

[0048] The network standard of the second network is lower than that of the first network.

[0049] It should be noted that when the terminal is the called party and receives a voice call, the terminal needs to fall back to the network. Usually, the terminal falls back to the default network to receive the voice call. In other words, the second network can be regarded as the default network for the terminal to fall back to; for example, the default network can be a 4G network.

[0050] II. Situations where the terminal initiates a voice service as the caller

[0051] It should be noted that, in this case, the optional implementation of step 102 is as follows:

[0052] When the voice capability under the first network is disabled and the terminal initiates a voice service, it is determined whether the terminal has first interest information, which includes the terminal's tendency to conduct voice services under the third network.

[0053] If the terminal has first interest information, it will be switched or reselected from the cell of the first network to the cell of the third network.

[0054] The network standard of the third network is lower than that of the first network.

[0055] It should be noted that this primary interest information is usually set by the user and stored in the terminal.

[0056] In other words, when the terminal is the initiator, it can first be determined whether the terminal has a certain network access preference. If the terminal has a certain network access preference, the terminal will fall back to that network first. For example, if the terminal accesses the 5G network and the user has set a preference for 2G / 3G network for voice services (i.e., CS call preference), then when the terminal actively initiates a voice service, the terminal will switch to the cell under the 2G / 3G network for voice services.

[0057] It should also be noted that if the terminal does not have a certain network access preference, the terminal will fall back to the default network. Specifically, if the terminal does not have first interest information, it will switch from the cell of the first network to a cell of the second network.

[0058] It should be further noted that, in order to ensure that the terminal remains on the first network after completing a voice call, in another embodiment of this application, after step 102, the method further includes:

[0059] After the voice service ends, the terminal accesses a cell belonging to the first network and sets its voice capability under the first network to enabled.

[0060] The following examples illustrate the specific application scenarios of this application, using the terminal accessing the 5G network and enabling VoNR capability as an example.

[0061] When there are no high-throughput data services on the terminal, VoNR can be turned off, and calls will fall back to LTE or 2G / 3G depending on the terminal settings, thus reducing the terminal's power consumption.

[0062] like Figure 2 As shown, the specific implementation process in this case is as follows:

[0063] Step 201: The terminal camps on the SA cell, registers IMS, and enables VoNR capability;

[0064] In other words, the terminal is camped on an SA cell, and has successfully registered for IMS and has VoNR capability enabled.

[0065] Step 202: Determine whether the terminal's current throughput is less than or equal to threshold A;

[0066] If the current throughput is less than or equal to the threshold A, proceed to step 204; otherwise, proceed to step 203.

[0067] Step 203: The terminal continues to maintain VoNR capability enabled;

[0068] It should be noted that in this case, the terminal keeps VoNR capability enabled to ensure that voice services are completed on NR, so as to guarantee that high-throughput data services and voice services can be carried out concurrently.

[0069] Step 204: Disable VoNR capability on the terminal;

[0070] It should be noted that in this case, the terminal disables voice services on the SA (data services on the SA are not affected when there are no voice services).

[0071] Step 205: When the terminal receives an incoming call, the voice service EPS falls back to LTE;

[0072] In other words, when a terminal receives an incoming call, it will transfer the VoNR call EPSfallback to LTE for processing, and the call will be established on LTE.

[0073] Step 206: When the terminal initiates a voice call, determine whether the terminal has a tendency to make CS calls;

[0074] If the terminal has a tendency to make CS calls, proceed to step 207; otherwise, proceed to step 208.

[0075] Step 207: The terminal searches for 2G / 3G networks and camps on a cell under the 2G / 3G network to make a call;

[0076] In other words, in this case, the terminal searches for 2G / 3G networks and camps on the cell under the searched 2G / 3G network to initiate a CS call, and the call is established on 2G / 3G.

[0077] Step 208: Voice service EPS fallback to LTE;

[0078] In other words, the terminal will fallback the VoNR call EPS to LTE for processing, and the call will be established on LTE.

[0079] Step 209: The call ends, and the terminal returns to SA.

[0080] In other words, after the call ends, the terminal reselects to SA and continues to execute step 202.

[0081] It should be noted that in this case, the implementation method is to intelligently switch VoNR capabilities based on the user's data service needs and the user's call service settings. This not only does not affect the user experience but also reduces the power consumption of the terminal, thereby improving the user experience on SA.

[0082] When the device's battery is low, turning off VoNR will cause calls to fall back to LTE or 2G / 3G depending on the device's settings, reducing power consumption and improving battery life when the battery is low.

[0083] like Figure 3 As shown, the specific implementation process in this case is as follows:

[0084] Step 301: The terminal camps on the SA cell, registers IMS, and enables VoNR capability;

[0085] In other words, the terminal is camped on an SA cell, and has successfully registered for IMS and has VoNR capability enabled.

[0086] Step 302: The terminal obtains the current battery level;

[0087] This means that the terminal obtains the remaining battery power to prepare for the next step of VoNR capability processing.

[0088] Step 303: Determine whether the current battery level is less than or equal to threshold B;

[0089] If the current battery level is less than or equal to the threshold B, proceed to step 305; otherwise, proceed to step 304.

[0090] Step 304: The terminal continues to maintain VoNR capability enabled;

[0091] It should be noted that in this case, the terminal keeps VoNR capability enabled to ensure that voice services are completed on NR, so as to guarantee that high-throughput data services and voice services can be carried out concurrently.

[0092] Step 305: Disable VoNR capability on the terminal;

[0093] It should be noted that in this case, the terminal disables voice services on the SA (data services on the SA are not affected when there are no voice services).

[0094] Step 306: When the terminal receives an incoming call, the voice service EPS falls back to LTE;

[0095] In other words, when a terminal receives an incoming call, it will transfer the VoNR call EPSfallback to LTE for processing, and the call will be established on LTE.

[0096] Step 307: When the terminal initiates a voice call, determine whether the terminal has a tendency to make CS calls;

[0097] If the terminal has a tendency to make CS calls, proceed to step 308; otherwise, proceed to step 309.

[0098] Step 308: The terminal searches for 2G / 3G networks and camps on a cell under the 2G / 3G network to make a call;

[0099] In other words, in this case, the terminal searches for 2G / 3G networks and camps on the cell under the searched 2G / 3G network to initiate a CS call, and the call is established on 2G / 3G.

[0100] Step 309: Voice service EPS fallback to LTE;

[0101] In other words, the terminal will fallback the VoNR call EPS to LTE for processing, and the call will be established on LTE.

[0102] Step 310: The call ends, and the terminal returns to SA.

[0103] In other words, after the call ends, the terminal reselects to SA and continues to execute step 302.

[0104] It should be noted that in this case, the implementation method is to intelligently switch VoNR capabilities based on the terminal's battery level and the user's call service settings. This ensures that the user experience is not affected when the battery is low, while also reducing the terminal's power consumption and improving the user experience on SA.

[0105] When the terminal has low battery and there is no need for high-throughput data services, VoNR can be turned off, and calls will fall back to LTE or 2G / 3G depending on the terminal settings. This ensures battery life while providing users with a good SA experience when the battery is low.

[0106] like Figure 4 As shown, the specific implementation process in this case is as follows:

[0107] Step 401: The terminal camps on the SA cell, registers IMS, and enables VoNR capability;

[0108] In other words, the terminal is camped on an SA cell, and has successfully registered for IMS and has VoNR capability enabled.

[0109] Step 402: The terminal obtains the current battery level;

[0110] This means that the terminal obtains the remaining battery power to prepare for the next step of VoNR capability processing.

[0111] Step 403: Determine whether the current battery level is less than or equal to threshold B;

[0112] If the current battery level is less than or equal to the threshold B, proceed to step 405; otherwise, proceed to step 404.

[0113] Step 404: The terminal continues to maintain VoNR capability enabled;

[0114] It should be noted that in this case, the terminal keeps VoNR capability enabled to ensure that voice services are completed on NR, so as to guarantee that high-throughput data services and voice services can be carried out concurrently.

[0115] Step 405: Determine whether the terminal's current throughput is less than or equal to threshold A;

[0116] If the current throughput is less than or equal to threshold A, proceed to step 406; otherwise, proceed to step 404.

[0117] Step 406: Disable VoNR capability on the terminal;

[0118] It should be noted that in this case, the terminal disables voice services on the SA (data services on the SA are not affected when there are no voice services).

[0119] Step 407: When the terminal receives an incoming call, the voice service EPS falls back to LTE;

[0120] In other words, when a terminal receives an incoming call, it will transfer the VoNR call EPSfallback to LTE for processing, and the call will be established on LTE.

[0121] Step 408: When the terminal initiates a voice call, determine whether the terminal has a tendency to make CS calls;

[0122] If the terminal has a tendency to make CS calls, proceed to step 409; otherwise, proceed to step 410.

[0123] Step 409: The terminal searches for 2G / 3G networks and camps on a cell under the 2G / 3G network to make a call;

[0124] In other words, in this case, the terminal searches for 2G / 3G networks and camps on the cell under the searched 2G / 3G network to initiate a CS call, and the call is established on 2G / 3G.

[0125] Step 410: Voice service EPS fallback to LTE;

[0126] In other words, the terminal will fallback the VoNR call EPS to LTE for processing, and the call will be established on LTE.

[0127] Step 411: The call ends, and the terminal returns to SA.

[0128] In other words, after the call ends, the terminal continues to execute step 401 and reselects back to SA.

[0129] It should be noted that there is no clear order between determining the battery level and determining the throughput. The terminal can determine the throughput first and then determine the battery level, or vice versa.

[0130] It should be noted that in this case, the VoNR capability is intelligently switched based on the battery level, the user's data service needs, and the user's call service settings. This not only does not affect the user experience but also reduces the terminal's power consumption, thus improving the user experience on SA.

[0131] It should be noted that the voice communication method provided in this application embodiment can be executed by a voice communication device or a control module in the voice communication device for executing the voice communication method. This application embodiment uses the execution of the voice communication method by a voice communication device as an example to illustrate the voice communication device provided in this application embodiment.

[0133] Setting module 501 is used to set the voice capability of the terminal in the first network to an enabled state when the terminal is camped in a cell belonging to the first network.

[0145] Optionally, the connection module 502 includes:

[0146] The judgment unit 5021 is used to determine whether the terminal has first interest information when the voice capability under the first network is disabled and the terminal initiates a voice service. The first interest information includes the terminal's tendency to conduct voice services under the third network.

[0147] The connection unit 5022 is used to, if the terminal has first interest information, switch or reselect a cell in the first network to a cell in the third network; if the terminal does not have first interest information, switch or reselect a cell in the first network to a cell in the second network.

[0148] The network standard of the third network is lower than that of the first network, and the network standard of the second network is lower than that of the first network.

[0149] Optionally, after the connection module 502 is connected to the target network and voice services are performed on the target network, the system further includes:

[0150] Access module 503 is used to access the cell belonging to the first network after the voice service ends, and to enable the voice capability of the terminal under the first network.

[0151] In this embodiment, when the terminal is camped in a cell belonging to the first network, the terminal's voice capability under the first network is set to be disabled; when voice service is needed under the disabled voice capability under the first network, the terminal connects to the target network and performs voice service on the target network, thereby reducing the power consumption of the terminal when making voice calls and improving the terminal's battery life.

[0152] The voice communication device in this application embodiment can be a device, or a component, integrated circuit, or chip in a terminal. The device can be a mobile terminal or a non-mobile terminal. For example, a mobile terminal can be a mobile phone, tablet computer, laptop computer, PDA, vehicle terminal, wearable device, ultra-mobile personal computer (UMPC), netbook, or personal digital assistant (PDA), etc., while a non-mobile terminal can be a server, network attached storage (NAS), personal computer (PC), television set (TV), ATM, or self-service machine, etc. This application embodiment does not impose specific limitations.

[0155] Optionally, such as Figure 8 As shown, this application embodiment also provides a terminal 800, including a processor 801, a memory 802, and a program or instructions stored in the memory 802 and executable on the processor 801.

Figure 9 The terminal structure shown does not constitute a limitation on the terminal. The terminal may include more or fewer components than shown, or combine certain components, or have different component arrangements, which will not be elaborated here.

[0160] The processor 910 is configured to, when the terminal is camped in a cell belonging to the first network, set the terminal's voice capability in the first network to a disabled state; when the voice capability in the first network is disabled and the terminal needs to perform voice services, connect to the target network and perform voice services on the target network.
