[0053] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present invention. Instead, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present invention as detailed in the appended claims.

[0054] At present, when a smart terminal is performing voice and / or data services, if it switches from a cellular network cell with good signal quality to a cellular network cell with poor signal quality, the terminal service will be suddenly interrupted. For example, a user using a smart terminal for voice services is riding on a subway. When the subway enters a tunnel from the ground, the service cell of the smart terminal switches from a cellular network cell with good signal quality to a cellular network cell with poor signal quality. At this time, the voice service will be suddenly interrupted, and the user experience will be poor.

[0055] In order to solve the above problems, the present disclosure provides a signal strength prediction method, so as to accurately predict the change of the signal strength of the terminal service cell, and in particular, accurately predict the decrease of the signal strength of the terminal service cell, so that the user can pre-process the terminal service being executed and avoid sudden interruption of the terminal service as much as possible.

[0056] Reference Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a signal strength prediction method shown in an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. The embodiment is described from the terminal side, wherein the terminal includes but is not limited to a smart phone, a laptop computer, a desktop computer, an iPad, etc. Figure 1 As shown, the method comprises the following steps:

[0057] In step 101, in response to determining that the terminal resides in a first cell and the terminal is in a moving state, a neighboring cell of the first cell is determined.

[0058] In one possible implementation, the terminal can determine its own position at time points t1 and t2 through the Global Positioning System (GPS). If the two positions are inconsistent, it can be determined that the terminal is in a moving state; or if the distance between the two positions is greater than or equal to a preset distance, it can be determined that the terminal is in a moving state, wherein the size of the preset distance is not specifically limited in this embodiment.

[0059] In a possible implementation, the terminal may determine the neighboring cells of the first cell based on the neighboring cell measurement. The number of the neighboring cells of the first cell is one or more, which is not limited in the present disclosure.

[0060] In step 102, if the movement trajectory corresponding to the switching of the serving cell of the terminal from the first cell to the target neighboring cell is consistent with the historical movement trajectory, it is determined that the serving cell of the terminal is about to be switched from the first cell to the target neighboring cell.

[0061] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the historical movement track is that when the terminal is in a moving state, a cell switching operation is performed, and the signal strength of the serving cell before the cell switching operation is greater than the signal strength of the serving cell after the cell switching operation. The serving cell refers to a cell that provides service for the terminal.

[0062] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the number of neighboring cells of the first cell determined by step 101 may be one or more, and the target neighboring cell is one of the above neighboring cells. If the mobile trajectory corresponding to the switching of the service cell of the terminal from the currently resident first cell to the target neighboring cell is consistent with the terminal being in a moving state, a cell switching operation is performed, and the signal strength of the service cell before the cell switching operation is greater than the signal strength of the service cell after the cell switching operation, that is, consistent with the historical mobile trajectory, then the terminal can determine that the service cell of the terminal is about to switch from the current first cell to the above target neighboring cell.

[0063] In the above embodiment, the change of the signal strength of the serving cell of the terminal can be accurately predicted according to the historical movement trajectory of the terminal, thereby effectively avoiding the sudden interruption of the terminal service, and the availability is high.

[0064] In some optional embodiments, in response to determining that a historical neighboring cell of the first cell on a specified moving trajectory in the historical moving trajectory is consistent with a neighboring cell of the first cell, the terminal determines a serving cell after the terminal performs a cell switching operation on the specified moving trajectory as the target neighboring cell.

[0065] It should be noted that, due to different moving directions of the terminal, the neighboring cells of the first cell determined by the terminal based on step 101 may be different.

[0066] For example, the neighboring cells of the first cell include Cell B1 to Cell B6. When the terminal moves in one direction, the neighboring cells of the first cell measured may be Cell B1 and Cell B2, while when the terminal moves in the opposite direction, the neighboring cells of the first cell measured may be Cell B5 and Cell B6.

[0067] When the terminal determines that the historical neighbor cell of the first cell on a designated moving trajectory in the historical moving trajectory is consistent with the neighbor cell of the first cell, the terminal may determine the serving cell after the terminal performs a cell switching operation on the designated moving trajectory as the target neighbor cell.

[0068] In one possible implementation, the neighboring cells of the first cell determined based on the neighboring cell measurement are consistent with the historical neighboring cells of the first cell on the specified moving trajectory, including but not limited to the fact that the number of the measured neighboring cells of the first cell is the same as the number of the historical neighboring cells of the first cell, and the cell identifier of each neighboring cell is the same.

[0069] For example, the terminal resides in the first cell Cell A, and the movement from Cell A to the neighboring cell Cell B conforms to the historical movement trajectory #1, and the movement trajectory from Cell A to other neighboring cells does not conform to any historical movement trajectory. On the historical movement trajectory #1, the historical neighboring cells of the first cell include Cell B, Cell C and Cell D, and the neighboring cells of the first cell obtained through measurement also include Cell B, Cell C and Cell D. Then, it can be determined that the historical movement trajectory #1 is the designated movement trajectory, and the service cell after the terminal performs the cell switching operation on the designated movement trajectory is Cell B. At this time, Cell B can be determined as the target neighboring cell.

[0070] For another example, the terminal resides in the first cell Cell A, and the movement from Cell A to the neighboring cell Cell B and from Cell A to the neighboring cell Cell C conforms to the historical moving trajectory #1 and the historical moving trajectory #2 respectively. The historical neighboring cells of the first cell on the historical moving trajectory #1 include Cell B, Cell C and Cell D, and the historical neighboring cells of the first cell on the historical moving trajectory #2 include Cell B, Cell C and Cell E. The neighboring cells of the first cell obtained through measurement also include Cell B, Cell C and Cell E. Then, it can be determined that the historical moving trajectory #2 is the designated moving trajectory, and the serving cell after the terminal performs the cell switching operation on the designated moving trajectory is Cell C. At this time, Cell C can be determined as the target neighboring cell.

[0071] In the above embodiment, the signal strength of the terminal's serving cell is about to drop, and the serving cell after the terminal is switched can be accurately predicted based on the terminal's historical movement trajectory, which is simple to implement and has high availability. In some optional embodiments, the terminal can establish a designated database by counting its own historical movement trajectory within a time period, and maintain the designated database on the terminal to predict the signal strength of the terminal later.

[0072] Reference Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a flowchart of another signal strength prediction method shown in an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. This embodiment is described from the terminal side. The process of establishing a designated database may include the following steps:

[0073] In step 201, in response to determining that the terminal resides in a second cell and the signal strength of the second cell decreases as the terminal moves, the second cell and neighboring cells of the second cell are recorded.

[0074] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the second cell may be any cell. If the terminal currently resides in the second cell and the signal strength of the second cell is decreasing as the terminal moves, the second cell may be first recorded in the designated database. In addition, neighboring cell measurements may be performed to determine neighboring cells of the second cell, and the neighboring cells of the second cell may also be recorded in the designated database.

[0075] In a possible implementation, the neighboring cells of the second cell are recorded in a designated database in a list form.

[0076] In step 202, in response to determining that the service cell is switched from the second cell to a third cell adjacent to the second cell after the terminal performs a cell switching operation, and when it is determined that the signal strength of the third cell meets a preset signal condition, the third cell and its neighboring cells are recorded.

[0077] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the third cell is a cell different from the second cell, and the third cell is a neighboring cell of the second cell.

[0078] In a possible implementation, if the signal strength of the third cell is less than the signal strength of the second cell and less than a preset threshold, and the signal strength of a neighboring cell of the third cell is also less than the preset threshold, it can be determined that the signal strength of the third cell meets the preset signal condition.

[0079] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, after performing a cell switching operation, the terminal can determine that the signal strength of the service cell decreases and the signal strength of the switched service cell, i.e., the third cell, is less than a preset threshold, and at the same time, the signal quality of the neighboring cells of the switched third cell is also poor. In this case, the terminal can determine that the signal strength of the third cell meets the preset signal condition. At this time, the third cell and the neighboring cells of the third cell can be recorded in the designated database.

[0080] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, further, the movement trajectory corresponding to the switching of the service cell of the terminal from the second cell to the third cell can also be marked in the designated database as a historical movement trajectory. Accordingly, the second cell is the service cell before the cell switching operation on the historical movement trajectory, and the second cell can be marked as a strong field cell, and the third cell is the service cell after the cell switching operation on the historical movement trajectory, and can be marked as a weak field cell. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, it can also be marked in the designated database that the second cell belongs to a strong field cell, and the third cell belongs to a weak field cell corresponding to the second cell.

[0081] For example, the second cell is Cell A, the neighboring cell of the second cell is marked as Neibor_A, the third cell is CellB, the neighboring cell of the third cell is marked as Neibor_B, {Cell A, Neibor_A, CellB, Neibor_B} can be recorded in the designated database, and the moving route corresponding to the service cell of the terminal from Cell A to Cell B can be marked as a historical moving route, that is, the moving route from Cell A to Cell is when the terminal is in a mobile state, a cell switching operation is performed, and the signal strength of the service cell before the cell switching operation is greater than the signal strength of the service cell after the cell switching operation. At the same time, it is recorded that Cell A is a strong field cell, Cell B is a weak field cell, and there is a corresponding relationship between Cell B and Cell A. That is, when Cell A is a strong field cell, Cell B is a weak field cell corresponding to Cell A.

[0082] In step 203, when it is determined that the signal strength of the third cell does not satisfy the preset signal condition, the recorded second cell and neighboring cells of the second cell are deleted.

[0083] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, if the signal strength of the third cell is greater than or equal to the signal strength of the second cell, it can be determined that the signal strength of the third cell does not meet the preset signal condition, and the terminal can delete the second cell and the neighboring cells of the second cell previously recorded in the designated database, that is, ignore the movement trajectory from the second cell to the third cell.

[0084] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, after executing the above step 202 or 203, the third cell may be used as the new second cell, and the above step 201 may be returned to be executed until a specified time point is reached.

[0085] In the disclosed embodiment, the designated time point may be the end time point of the terminal learning and counting the historical movement trajectory. For example, if the end time point is 24:00 on the third day, the terminal may repeat the above steps to establish the designated database until 24:00 on the third day.

[0086] In the above embodiment, the terminal can determine the historical movement trajectory within a period of time, thereby establishing a designated database, and subsequently accurately predict the change in the signal strength of the terminal's serving cell based on the terminal's historical movement trajectory, thereby effectively avoiding sudden interruption of terminal services and having high availability.

[0087] In some optional embodiments, the designated database may periodically update the recorded historical movement trajectory according to a preset duration. For example, if the preset duration is 18 days, the terminal may delete the original historical movement trajectory in the designated database on the 19th day, and re-determine and record a new historical movement trajectory before reaching the specified time point, so as to accurately predict the change in the signal strength of the terminal's serving cell in the future.

[0088] In some optional embodiments, reference Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 FIG. 1 is a flowchart of another signal strength prediction method shown in an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. The embodiment is described from the terminal side and includes the following steps:

[0089] In step 301, in response to determining that the terminal resides in a first cell and the terminal is in a moving state, a neighboring cell of the first cell is determined.

[0090] In step 302, if the movement trajectory corresponding to the switching of the serving cell of the terminal from the first cell to the target neighboring cell is consistent with the historical movement trajectory, it is determined that the serving cell of the terminal is about to switch from the first cell to the target neighboring cell.

[0091] The implementation of the above steps 301 to 302 is similar to that of steps 101 to 102 in the above embodiment, and will not be repeated here.

[0092] In step 303, prompt information is output.

[0093] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the prompt information is used to prompt the user that the serving cell of the terminal is about to be switched to the target neighboring cell whose signal strength is lower than that of the first cell.

[0094] In a possible implementation, an upper-layer application of the terminal may be notified, and the application outputs the prompt information in a pop-up window manner.

[0095] In another possible implementation, the user may perform preprocessing in the corresponding application based on the output prompt information, including but not limited to prematurely terminating voice services and / or data services, executing other offline services, etc., which is not limited in the present disclosure.

[0096] In the above embodiment, the terminal can output prompt information when predicting that the signal strength of the serving cell is about to deteriorate, thereby effectively avoiding sudden interruption of terminal services and having high availability.

[0097] In some optional embodiments, reference Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 FIG. 1 is a flowchart of another signal strength prediction method shown in an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. The embodiment is described from the terminal side and includes the following steps:

[0098] In step 401, it is determined to camp on a second cell having a signal strength greater than or equal to a preset threshold.

[0099] In step 402, it is determined that the signal strength of the second cell decreases as the terminal moves.

[0100] In step 403, the second cell and the measured neighboring cells of the second cell are recorded in a designated database.

[0101] In step 404, after performing a cell switching operation, the serving cell is switched from the second cell to a third cell adjacent to the second cell.

[0102] In step 405, it is determined whether the signal strength of the third cell meets a preset signal condition.

[0103] In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal determines that the signal strength of the third cell meets the preset signal condition when the signal strength of the third cell is less than the signal strength of the second cell and less than a preset threshold, and the signal strength of a neighboring cell of the third cell is less than the preset threshold.

[0104] When the signal strength of the third cell is greater than or equal to the signal strength of the second cell, the terminal determines that the signal strength of the third cell does not meet the preset signal condition.

[0105] If the signal strength of the third cell meets the preset signal condition, step 406 is executed; otherwise, step 408 is executed.

[0106] In step 406, the third cell and the measured neighboring cells of the third cell are recorded in the designated database.

[0107] In step 407, the movement trajectory corresponding to the switching of the serving cell of the terminal from the second cell to the third cell is marked in a designated database as the historical movement trajectory.

[0108] That is, when the mobile trajectory corresponding to the service cell of the terminal marked in the designated database switches from the second cell to the third cell, the cell switching operation is performed when the terminal is in a moving state, and the signal strength of the service cell before the cell switching operation is greater than the signal strength of the service cell after the cell switching operation.

[0109] In step 408, the second cell and the neighboring cells of the second cell that have been recorded are deleted from the designated database.

[0110] After executing step 407 or 408, the third cell is used as the new second cell, and the process returns to execute the above step 402.

[0111] In step 409, a designated time point is reached.

[0112] At this point, the terminal can determine that the designated database has been established.

[0113] In step 410, it is determined that the terminal is camped in a first cell and is in a moving state, and a neighboring cell of the first cell is determined.

[0114] In step 411, if the movement trajectory corresponding to the switching of the serving cell of the terminal from the first cell to the target neighboring cell is consistent with the historical movement trajectory, it is determined that the serving cell of the terminal is about to be switched from the first cell to the target neighboring cell.

[0115] In response to determining that the historical neighboring cell of the first cell on a designated moving track in the historical moving track is consistent with the neighboring cell of the first cell, the serving cell after the terminal performs a cell switching operation on the designated moving track is determined as the target neighboring cell. In step 412, prompt information is output.

[0116] The prompt information is used to prompt the user that the service cell of the terminal is about to be switched to the target neighboring cell whose signal strength is lower than that of the first cell.

[0117] In step 413, the historical movement trajectory recorded in the designated database is periodically updated according to a preset time period.

[0118] In the above embodiment, the change in the signal strength of the terminal's service cell can be accurately predicted based on the terminal's historical movement trajectory, and in particular, the decrease in the signal strength of the terminal's service cell can be accurately predicted, so that the user can pre-process the terminal service being executed, thereby effectively avoiding sudden interruption of the terminal service and having high availability.
