[0002] With the development of 5G communication technology, some terminals have begun to use millimeter waves for communication. Compared with the communication methods in traditional technologies, the communication effect of millimeter waves will be better.

Therefore, their penetration ability is relatively weak, and they are easily affected by communication interference caused by external objects. Accordingly, how to resist interference has become an important issue for 5G millimeter wave technology. At present, in the relevant technology, when using millimeter wave communication equipment for communication, anti-interference operation can be achieved by beam management on the millimeter wave antenna or base station side, but this adjustment method is relatively simple and restrictive.

[0033] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0034] It should be noted that, although the functional modules are divided in the device schematic diagram and the logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described may be performed in a different order than the module division in the device or the order in the flowchart. The terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification, claims and the above drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.

[0035] The present invention provides an anti-interference control device and method thereof, a terminal device, and a computer-readable storage medium. Through an interference detection component, it can be determined whether a millimeter wave signal emitted by a millimeter wave antenna module is interfered with, so that the anti-interference control device can accurately judge whether the millimeter wave antenna module is interfered with under current conditions, thereby determining whether the millimeter wave antenna module needs to perform anti-interference processing. In the case of determining that the millimeter wave signal is interfered with, the location information of the interference source can be detected according to the interference source detection component, so that the user can understand the cause of the interference to the millimeter wave signal, and then the anti-interference processing corresponding to the location information can be performed based on the control component, that is, the anti-interference adjustment can be performed accordingly according to the actual scenario and application environment, so as to solve the interference caused by the interference source to the millimeter wave signal. Therefore, this can help improve the anti-interference capability of the millimeter wave antenna module, and accordingly, can further improve the throughput performance of the terminal.

[0036] The embodiments of the present invention are further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of an anti-interference control device 110 provided in one embodiment of the present invention.

[0038] exist Figure 1 In the example, the anti-interference control device 110 is arranged in the terminal device 100, the terminal device 100 includes a millimeter wave antenna module 114, and the anti-interference control device 110 includes:

[0039] An interference detection component 111, connected to the millimeter wave antenna module 114, is used to determine whether the millimeter wave signal emitted by the millimeter wave antenna module 114 is interfered with according to the channel quality parameter from the millimeter wave antenna module 114;

[0040] The interference source detection component 112 is connected to the interference detection component 111 and is used to obtain the location information of the interference source when the interference detection component 111 determines that the millimeter wave signal emitted by the millimeter wave antenna module 114 is interfered;

[0041] The control component 113 is connected to the interference source detection component 112 and is used to perform anti-interference processing corresponding to the position information according to the position information from the interference source detection component 112.

[0042] In one embodiment, the interference detection component 111 can determine whether the millimeter wave signal emitted by the millimeter wave antenna module 114 is interfered with, so that the anti-interference control device 110 can accurately judge whether the millimeter wave antenna module 114 is interfered with under current conditions, thereby determining whether the millimeter wave antenna module 114 needs to perform anti-interference processing, and when it is determined that the millimeter wave signal is interfered with, the location information of the interference source can be detected according to the interference source detection component 112, so that the user can understand the cause of the interference to the millimeter wave signal, and then the anti-interference processing corresponding to the location information can be performed based on the control component 113, that is, the anti-interference adjustment can be performed accordingly according to the actual scenario and application environment, so as to solve the interference caused by the interference source to the millimeter wave signal. Therefore, this can help improve the anti-interference capability of the millimeter wave antenna module 114, and accordingly, it can also further improve the throughput performance of the terminal.

[0043] In one embodiment, the control component 113 can perform closed-loop adjustment based on the real-time feedback position information, that is, the control component 113 will continue to monitor the relevant information of the millimeter wave antenna module 114 after the anti-interference processing is performed. If there is still an interference source affecting the millimeter wave antenna module 114, that is, the interference detection component 111 still determines that the millimeter wave signal emitted by the millimeter wave antenna module 114 is interfered with, then the control component 113 will continue to perform the anti-interference processing corresponding to the position information until the millimeter wave signal emitted by the millimeter wave antenna module 114 is no longer interfered with.

[0044] In one embodiment, after obtaining the channel quality parameters from the millimeter wave antenna module 114, the interference detection component 111 can detect the signal interference state and the wireless transmission interference state of the millimeter wave antenna module 114 according to the channel quality parameters, wherein the signal interference state is mainly used to characterize the interference influence on the millimeter wave antenna module 114 in the process of sending antenna signals, and the wireless transmission interference state is mainly used to characterize the interference influence on the millimeter wave antenna module 114 in the process of transmitting antenna signals. Both of the above interference states can be determined by the channel quality parameters.

[0045] In one embodiment, the channel quality parameters may be, but are not limited to, reference signal receiving power (RSRP), bit error rate (BLER), signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), received signal strength indication (RSSI), etc. Since the above specific indicators are well known to those skilled in the art, they will not be described in detail here.

[0046] In one embodiment, the interference state of the millimeter wave signal emitted by the millimeter wave antenna module 114 can be determined by a pre-set first channel quality parameter threshold, that is, in response to the channel quality parameter from the millimeter wave antenna module 114 being greater than the first channel quality parameter threshold, the interference detection component 111 can determine that the millimeter wave signal emitted by the millimeter wave antenna module 114 is interfered with. It can be seen that the interference result of the millimeter wave signal can be obtained simply and effectively through numerical comparison; conversely, if the channel quality parameter of the millimeter wave antenna module 114 is not greater than the first channel quality parameter threshold, the interference detection component 111 can determine that the millimeter wave signal emitted by the millimeter wave antenna module 114 is not interfered with. Accordingly, in the case where the millimeter wave signal is not interfered with, there is no need for subsequent interference source detection component 112 and control component 113 to perform corresponding operations.

[0047] In one embodiment, the millimeter wave antenna module 114 may be a separate millimeter wave antenna, or an antenna module in which a millimeter wave antenna and a radio frequency front-end device are combined, which may be distributed on the top, border, or corner area of ​​the terminal device 100. When the millimeter wave antenna module 114 is an array antenna, the number thereof may be 4 groups, 8 groups, or any other number of antenna array combinations, which may realize orthogonal polarization radiation in different forms.

[0048] In one embodiment, when there are more than one millimeter wave antenna modules 114, interference may occur between the millimeter wave signals emitted by different millimeter wave antenna modules 114, that is, interference offset may occur in the beam directions of the two. In this case, the interference detection component 111 can be used to detect the beam interference suffered by any millimeter wave signal. By analogy, if there is only one millimeter wave antenna module 114, but there may be other beams within the spatial radiation range (for example, there are multiple terminal devices 100), then the interference detection component 111 can also be used to detect whether other beams within the spatial radiation range interfere with the millimeter wave signal emitted by the millimeter wave antenna module 114.

[0049] In one embodiment, the interference source may be but is not limited to a user (including certain parts of the user's body, such as fingers, torso, etc.), an obstacle or other interference beams, etc. It should be noted that whether it is a user, an obstacle or other interference beam, it may cause interference in the process of the millimeter wave antenna module 114 emitting a millimeter wave signal, and may also cause interference during its transmission (for example, a user or an obstacle blocks the distance between the millimeter wave antenna module 114 and the base station).

[0050] In one embodiment, the location information acquired by the interference source detection component 112 may be the physical coordinate information of the user (including certain parts of the user's body) or an obstacle, or the emission direction information of the beam causing the interference, etc., which is not limited in this embodiment.

[0051] In one embodiment, the terminal device 100 is also provided with a millimeter wave modem module connected to the millimeter wave antenna module 114, which can be used to realize the transmission, reception and modulation and demodulation processing of millimeter wave signals. The millimeter wave modem module is not limited to a millimeter wave RF chip module, a millimeter wave digital signal processing unit, etc.

[0052] In addition, another embodiment of the present invention also provides an anti-interference control device, wherein an interference source detection component includes a radiator and a radiation signal detection component connected to the radiator; in response to the interference detection component determining that the millimeter wave signal emitted by the millimeter wave antenna module is interfered with, the radiation signal detection component emits a radiation signal through the radiator, and when a feedback signal from the radiator is obtained, the location information of the interference source is determined according to the feedback signal, wherein the feedback signal is obtained by the radiation signal being reflected by the interference source.

[0053] In one embodiment, since the radiation signal can be reflected, the feedback signal reflected by the interference source can be obtained by emitting the radiation signal through the radiator, so that two groups of signals, namely the radiation signal and the feedback signal, can be determined. By comparing the difference between the two groups of signals, the influence of the position of the interference source on the corresponding signal can be determined, and then the position information of the interference source can be determined. It can be seen that in this process, there is no need to obtain the position information of the interference source based on the millimeter wave antenna module, which can improve the detection accuracy. At the same time, it does not involve complex algorithms, but only needs to be measured through information interaction. Therefore, the detection is more convenient and effective.

[0054] In one embodiment, the interference source detection component also includes a camera component, which can perform image detection on the surroundings of the terminal device to determine the location information of the user or obstacle, wherein the camera component may include an unlimited number of cameras or similar camera devices. For example, a camera is provided on the front and rear surfaces of the terminal device, the front camera is used to detect user obstruction, and the rear camera is used to detect obstacle obstruction behind the back of the terminal device, that is, the acquisition of interference source location information can also be achieved. Specific examples are given below to illustrate the working principle of the above embodiment.

[0055] Example 1

[0056] In such Figure 2 In addition to the millimeter wave antenna module, the terminal device 100 shown in the figure also includes other types of antennas. These other types of antennas can be used as radiators for emitting radiation signals, such as the main antenna 200 (which can be a cellular antenna under 2G, 3G or 4G, etc.), the Bluetooth wireless communication antenna 300, the global positioning system receiving antenna 400 and the near-field communication sensing antenna 500, etc., with any one or more of the antennas being used as radiators; or, any one or more metal units in the terminal device 100 can also be used as radiators, for example, Figure 2 The metal frame 600 in the terminal device 100 shown in the figure, or the metal coil 700 on the PVB mainboard in the terminal device 100. In addition, the radiation signal detection component can be a detection chip for reducing the specific absorption rate (an indicator for measuring the electromagnetic radiation of the antenna to the human body), such as Figure 2 As shown, a charge sensing circuit 800 for determining the location information of the interference source is provided inside the chip, and the charge sensing circuit 800 can be connected to any radiator.

[0057] Each antenna and metal unit can be connected through a shielded coaxial line or microstrip line of a certain width and length, and the connecting line is set at each channel position of the charge sensing circuit 800. Since each of the above units will form a certain vertical projection area between the corresponding angle and the object to be contacted, therefore, through the reflection collection between the projection area in this direction and the induced charge on the object to be contacted, it can be determined which face or angle contacts the object to be contacted. That is, the detection chip uses the antennas and metal units corresponding to the terminal device 100 as the reference plane (that is, uses it as a probe array), and the plane contacted by the terminal device 100, such as the human body, objects, etc., is used as the sensing plane. By measuring the small charge value changes between the two planes, it can be determined whether the corresponding area of ​​the terminal device 100 leaves the sensing plane. The principle is: Figure 3As shown, the charge rod circuit in the radiator in the terminal device 100 can continuously radiate a trace charge signal outward. When the radiated charge signal encounters an obstacle or a user (i.e., an interference source), part of it will be reflected back. The amount of charge reflected back is affected by the distance and projection area (i.e., Figure 3 The influence of the dotted area in the terminal device 100 shown in FIG. 1 , wherein the distance of the interference source can be determined by Figure 3 As shown, the terminal device 100 is adjusted by moving it closer to or farther away from the interference source. Finally, the charge sensing circuit 800 collects the amount of reflected charge, converts it into a corresponding digital signal value based on an analog to digital converter (ADC) and stores it in a corresponding register. The induced charge amount and the detectable distance are controlled by a sensitivity gain parameter, which is inversely proportional to the test distance and directly proportional to the induced projection area. Therefore, the test distance and projection area between the two can be determined by comparing the change in the charge amount, thereby obtaining the location information of the interference source based on this.

[0058] It is worth noting that due to the different electrical conductivity and dielectric constant of different obstacles, for example, the contacting material may be metal, wood, glass, leather, cloth, human hands, plastic or air of different temperature and humidity, when the obstacle and the terminal device form a sensing interval corresponding to each antenna or metal unit, the reflection value for the trace charge will also be different. Therefore, before detection, the typical value of the charge reflection model can be pre-set and the corresponding fluctuation range can be set, and it can be stored as a threshold. In this way, for obstacles of any material, the distance relationship between the radiator and the obstacle of this material can be judged by the different detected induced charge amounts, that is, the location information of the interference source can be obtained.

[0059] like Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 It is a schematic diagram of an anti-interference control device provided by another embodiment of the present invention acquiring location information of an interference source.

[0060] exist Figure 4 In the example, based on the same principle as the above embodiment, when the user moves from position 1 to position 2, the antenna scan switches from angle 1 to angle 2, and the charge sensing circuit can detect the reflected signal, thereby detecting the presence of the user in that direction.

[0061] In addition, another embodiment of the present invention also provides an anti-interference control device, wherein the terminal device also includes an information prompt component, which is connected to the control component; in response to the control component obtaining position information from the interference source detection component, the control component determines the grip adjustment guidance information and / or three-dimensional beam information based on the position information, and prompts the user with the grip adjustment guidance information and / or three-dimensional beam information through the information prompt component.

[0062] In this embodiment, after obtaining the position information from the interference source detection component, that is, the position information of the interference source has been determined at this time, the control component can provide corresponding grip adjustment guidance information and / or three-dimensional beam information according to the position information, and the information prompt component prompts the user so that the user can make corresponding adjustments according to the guidance, thereby eliminating or weakening the interference caused by the interference source. It is worth noting that the grip adjustment and the three-dimensional beam adjustment are set from different references, that is, in practice, only one of the methods can be used for adjustment, or both methods can be used for adjustment at the same time, but the anti-interference effect obtained based on the corresponding adjustment is the same, so this embodiment adopts the above-mentioned "and / or" related description.

[0063] In one embodiment, the information prompt component can be a speaker or a display screen. When it is a speaker, the grip adjustment guidance information and three-dimensional beam information are played by voice. When it is a display screen, the user is guided to adjust the grip posture in the form of video or image.

[0064] In one embodiment, the grip adjustment guidance information is mainly applicable to interference caused by the user holding the terminal device. In this case, notifying the user to adjust the grip can avoid the interference. The following is a specific example to illustrate the working principle of this embodiment. Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5 It is a schematic diagram of an anti-interference control device provided by an embodiment of the present invention performing anti-interference processing corresponding to position information.

[0065] Example 2

[0066] like Figure 5 As shown, during the use of the terminal device 100, a certain blocking effect will be formed when the user's fingers or palms touch the corresponding position of the mobile phone frame, so this will block or attenuate most of the millimeter wave signals. For example, if the edge of the mobile phone is held by a finger or palm in a certain area, and the holding position is just near the position of the millimeter wave antenna module 114, then this holding posture will cause interference (such as Figure 5As shown, due to the blocking effect of the fingers, the radiation signal of the single millimeter wave antenna module 114 is partially blocked, that is, it can only radiate in some directions). When the control component obtains the grip information, it can determine the corresponding grip adjustment information according to the grip, and give a prompt on the information prompt component. For example, the prompt can be given in a display manner. Contacts in different positions may be displayed in different colors or patterns. Here, they can be represented by fixed colors. For example, red indicates a contact point with poor signal, black indicates a contact point with unaffected signal, and green indicates a contact point with enhanced signal. Therefore, the information prompt component can display contact points of different colors on the terminal device 100, thereby providing the user with grip guidance prompts.

[0067] In addition, if the current wireless signal of the terminal device is not good, that is, the antenna signal transmission may be interfered with, then it is detected that the current user's grip posture and the current wireless mode of the terminal device do not match. Similarly, the information prompt component will also display the current contact color status and prompt the best contact position. After seeing the prompt, the user can change the grip posture or finger contact point, thereby reducing the interference to the current antenna signal and improving the communication quality of the antenna signal.

[0068] In one embodiment, a beam storage management module is also provided in the terminal device, which is used to implement the beam information storage and management of the millimeter wave antenna module, involving the beam scanning range, beam interval, beam omnidirectional cumulative distribution function value, and the effective radiation power of any beam. Among them, the beam is a state presented when the millimeter wave antenna module is working. The millimeter wave antenna module is wirelessly connected based on the beam as the basic unit. Correspondingly, each beam will radiate a certain power. The millimeter wave antenna module may include several beams, and these beams may also have different types, and different positions may be divided in spatial orientation. In addition, the beams may also be divided into two categories, one is under V polarization conditions, and the other is under H polarization conditions, which can correspond to different millimeter wave antenna modules respectively. It can be seen that the beam storage management module can be used to correspond the beam information of the above-mentioned millimeter wave antenna module tested in advance to the ID of any beam information in the form of a parameter table, and store it in the corresponding module, and divide it into different areas at the same time, so that different areas correspond to different millimeter wave radiation intervals, which is convenient for the control component to compare and call.

[0069] In one embodiment, the three-dimensional beam information is used to characterize the beam emission of the millimeter wave antenna module at this time, that is, the situation where the emitted beam is affected by an obstacle at this time, so as to guide the adjustment of the position of the terminal device to avoid the interference of the obstacle on the emitted beam. The following is a specific example to illustrate the working principle of this embodiment. Figure 6 As shown, Figure 6 It is a schematic diagram of an anti-interference control device provided by another embodiment of the present invention performing anti-interference processing corresponding to position information.

[0070] Example 3

[0071] like Figure 6 As shown, the information prompt component 120 adopts a visual operation guidance interface, so that the user can realize the visual direction angle switching guidance. The opening and closing of the information prompt component 120 can be checked through the relevant settings on the UI of the terminal device 100 to call out the corresponding window, and then feedback the current three-dimensional beam scanning status, such as which beams are scanning, the scanning angle range of the corresponding beam, etc. Beams in different directions will be displayed in different colors or patterns. For example, a green scanning area indicates that the antenna signal is stronger, and a red scanning area indicates that the antenna signal is weaker. Alternatively, the strength of the antenna signal can be directly calculated by a numerical value to give the corresponding position guidance (for example, Figure 6 ). It can be seen that, as Figure 4 As shown, if there is an angle mismatch between the current user's position or control method and the base station, or if there is an obstacle blocking the user, it will exceed the scanning range of the beam, that is, it will fall into the beam scanning blind spot, so that normal communication cannot be carried out. This will cause the throughput of millimeter wave communication to decrease. Therefore, three-dimensional beam adjustment operations are required at this time. For example, the user adjusts his or her own direction position through the operation guide interface, thereby achieving 360-degree rotation adjustment in the horizontal direction and 360-degree longitudinal adjustment in the vertical direction, thereby realizing three-dimensional beam adjustment to eliminate or weaken the interference caused by the interference source.

[0072] In addition, another embodiment of the present invention also provides an anti-interference control device, wherein the terminal device also includes a driving component, which is respectively connected to the millimeter wave antenna module and the control component; in response to the control component obtaining position information from the interference source detection component, the control component controls the driving component to adjust the position of the millimeter wave antenna module in the terminal device according to the position information.

[0073] In one embodiment, the position of the millimeter wave antenna module in the terminal device can be directly adjusted by the driving component, that is, by changing the relative position between the millimeter wave antenna module and the interference source, the anti-interference adjustment of the millimeter wave antenna module can be achieved.

[0074] In one embodiment, the driving component may be any type of driving component, for example, a motor, an electric motor, etc. Those skilled in the art may select the driving component according to actual conditions, and the driving component is not limited thereto.

Figure 7 As shown, Figure 7 It is a schematic diagram of an anti-interference control device provided by another embodiment of the present invention performing anti-interference processing corresponding to position information.

[0076] Example 4

[0077] When the direction of the terminal device and the user's position are inconvenient to adjust, or the current number of millimeter-wave antenna modules is small, and large-area coverage within the omnidirectional strong signal range cannot be achieved, and the beam is in the millimeter-wave radiation blind spot, the position of the millimeter-wave antenna module can be adjusted through the driving component to switch the millimeter-wave antenna module to the millimeter-wave radiation blind spot for operation. For example, assuming that the main lobe radiation range of a millimeter-wave antenna module is 90°, if a terminal device wants to achieve 360-degree communication with a base station without dead ends, the millimeter-wave antenna module needs to be switched and adjusted in four directions.

[0078] like Figure 7 As shown, the current position of the millimeter wave antenna module 114 is oriented in direction A and is blocked by the user's finger, and the rotary motor 130 is connected to the millimeter wave antenna module 114, then the direction of the millimeter wave antenna module 114 can be controlled to be adjusted to directions B, C and D respectively, wherein directions A, B, C and D are spaced 90 degrees apart in sequence, and the rotary motor 130 can reuse the vibration motor in the terminal device 100, which can rotate clockwise or counterclockwise in a non-vibration working state, thereby driving the millimeter wave antenna module 114 to adjust its direction, so that the millimeter wave radiation range of the millimeter wave antenna module 114 can cover the radiation blind area, that is, the interference caused by the interference source can be eliminated or weakened.

[0079] Reference Figure 8 , Figure 8 is a schematic diagram of an anti-interference control device 110 provided in another embodiment of the present application.

Those skilled in the art will appreciate that with the evolution of the anti-interference control device 110 and the emergence of new application scenarios, the technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present invention is equally applicable to similar technical problems.

[0085] exist Figure 8 In the anti-interference control device 110 shown, the control processor 115 can execute the corresponding anti-interference control method based on the instructions stored in the memory 116 thereof.

[0086] Based on the structure of the above-mentioned anti-interference control device 110, various embodiments of the anti-interference control method of the present invention are proposed.

[0087] like Fig. 9 As shown, Fig. 9 is a flow chart of an anti-interference control method provided by an embodiment of the present invention, which can be applied to Figure 1 or Figure 8 The anti-interference control device in the illustrated embodiment, the anti-interference control method includes but is not limited to steps S100 to S300.

[0088] Step S100, controlling the interference detection component to obtain a channel quality parameter from a millimeter wave antenna module;

[0089] Step S200, in response to the interference detection component determining, according to the channel quality parameter, that the millimeter wave signal emitted by the millimeter wave antenna module is interfered with, controlling the interference source detection component to obtain location information of the interference source;

[0090] Step S300, obtaining location information from the interference source detection component, and performing anti-interference processing corresponding to the location information according to the location information.

[0091] In one embodiment, the interference detection component can obtain channel quality parameters from the millimeter wave antenna module to facilitate determining the situation in which the millimeter wave antenna module is subject to interference, and when it is determined that the millimeter wave signal is subject to interference, the location information of the interference source can be detected according to the interference source detection component, so that the user can understand the cause of the interference to the millimeter wave signal, and then the anti-interference processing corresponding to the location information can be performed based on the control component, that is, the anti-interference adjustment can be performed accordingly according to the actual scenario and application environment, so as to solve the interference caused by the interference source to the millimeter wave signal. Therefore, this can help improve the anti-interference capability of the millimeter wave antenna module, and accordingly, can further improve the throughput performance of the terminal.

[0092] It is worth noting that since the anti-interference control method in this embodiment and the anti-interference control device in the above embodiment belong to the same inventive concept, the specific implementation method of the anti-interference control method in this embodiment can refer to the specific implementation method of the anti-interference control device in the above embodiment. To avoid redundancy, the specific implementation method of the anti-interference control method in this embodiment will not be repeated here.

[0093] like Fig.10 As shown, Fig.10 It is a flowchart of an anti-interference control method provided by an embodiment of the present invention, wherein "determining whether the millimeter wave signal emitted by the millimeter wave antenna module is interfered with according to the channel quality parameter" in step S200 includes but is not limited to step S210.

[0094] Step S210: When the channel quality parameter of the millimeter wave antenna module is greater than a first channel quality parameter threshold, it is determined that the millimeter wave signal emitted by the millimeter wave antenna module is interfered.

[0095] In one embodiment, based on the comparison between the pre-set first channel quality parameter threshold and the channel quality parameter of the current millimeter wave antenna module by the interference detection component, the interference state of the millimeter wave signal emitted by the millimeter wave antenna module can be determined. It can be seen that the interference result of the millimeter wave signal can be obtained simply and effectively through numerical comparison; conversely, if the channel quality parameter of the millimeter wave antenna module is not greater than the first channel quality parameter threshold, the interference detection component can determine that the millimeter wave signal emitted by the millimeter wave antenna module is not interfered with, that is, in the case where the millimeter wave signal is not interfered with, there is no need for subsequent interference source detection components and control components to perform corresponding operations.

[0096] It is worth noting that since the anti-interference control method in this embodiment and the anti-interference control device in the above embodiment belong to the same inventive concept, the specific implementation method of the anti-interference control method in this embodiment can refer to the specific implementation method of the anti-interference control device in the above embodiment.

Accordingly, in step S200, "controlling the interference source detection component to obtain the location information of the interference source" includes but is not limited to steps S220 to S230.

[0098] Step S220, controlling the radiation signal detection component to emit a radiation signal through the radiator;

[0099] Step S230, in response to the radiation signal detection component acquiring a feedback signal from the radiator, controlling the radiation signal detection component to determine the location information of the interference source according to the feedback signal, wherein the feedback signal is obtained when the radiation signal is reflected by the interference source.

[0100] In one embodiment, since the radiation signal can be reflected, the feedback signal reflected by the interference source can be obtained by emitting the radiation signal through the radiator, so that two groups of signals, namely the radiation signal and the feedback signal, can be determined. By comparing the difference between the two groups of signals, the influence of the position of the interference source on the corresponding signal can be determined, and then the position information of the interference source can be determined. It can be seen that in this process, there is no need to obtain the position information of the interference source based on the millimeter wave antenna module, which can improve the detection accuracy. At the same time, it does not involve complex algorithms, but only needs to be measured through information interaction. Therefore, the detection is more convenient and effective.

[0107] Step S320: Control the driving component to adjust the position of the millimeter wave antenna module in the terminal device according to the position information.

[0108] In one embodiment, the position of the millimeter wave antenna module in the terminal device can be directly adjusted by the driving component, that is, by changing the relative position between the millimeter wave antenna module and the interference source, the anti-interference adjustment of the millimeter wave antenna module can be achieved.
