[0002] FM radio is an important function for mobile phones to receive information and entertainment. Since the frequency of the FM antenna is 88MHz-108MHz, the full wavelength is 3 meters and the quarter wavelength is 0.75 meters according to 100MHz, and the mainboard of the mobile phone is generally within 0.15 meters, therefore, the length of the FM antenna is much greater than the length of the mainboard of the mobile phone.

[0031] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the following will further describe the specific technical solutions of the present application with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present application, but are not used to limit the scope of the present application.

[0032] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which the present application belongs. The terms used herein are only for the purpose of describing the embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the present application.

[0033] In the following description, "some embodiments" are described, which describe a subset of all possible embodiments, but it can be understood that "some embodiments" can be the same subset or different subsets of all possible embodiments, and can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0034] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", "third" used in the embodiments of the present application are used to distinguish similar or different objects, and do not represent a specific order of the objects. It can be understood that "first", "second", "third" can be interchanged in a specific order or sequence as allowed, so that the embodiments of the present application described herein can be implemented in an order other than that illustrated or described herein.

[0035] Currently, mobile phones usually use wired earphone wire or independent FM built-in antenna to realize FM function, but both of the two ways have disadvantages: 1) using earphone as FM antenna, the length of earphone wire is close to 0.75 meters. If the mobile phone and earphone are regarded as a half-wave dipole antenna, the earphone wire is the positive pole of the antenna oscillator, and the ground plane of the mobile phone is the negative pole of the half-wave oscillator, since the mainboard of the mobile phone is generally within 0.15 meters away from 0.75 meters, so the half-wave oscillator of the mainboard as the FM antenna is very short, thus causing poor FM receiving performance; 2) the size of the FM built-in antenna is very small, and the size of the antenna for receiving FM is insufficient, and the length of the mainboard of the mobile phone is also very short, thus causing poor receiving performance of the FM built-in antenna.

[0036] Therefore, the embodiment of the present application provides a method for enhancing FM antenna performance, which is applied to an electronic device. The electronic device can be various types of devices with FM radio function and information processing capability in the implementation process. For example, the electronic device can include a personal computer, a notebook computer, a palm computer or a server, etc.; the electronic device can also be a mobile terminal, for example, the mobile terminal can include a mobile phone, a vehicle-mounted computer, a tablet computer or a projector, etc. The function realized by the method can be realized by calling program code by a processor in the electronic device, and of course the program code can be saved in a computer storage medium, so the electronic device at least includes a processor and a storage medium.

[0037] Figure 1 A flowchart of a method for enhancing FM antenna performance provided by the embodiment of the present application can inform a user of the contact position for enhancing FM antenna performance, so that the user can assist in enhancing FM antenna performance. As shown in Figure 1 the method can include:

[0038] Step 101, when it is determined that the electronic device is in FM radio mode, or when it is determined that the electronic device is in FM radio mode and the received FM signal does not meet the preset signal requirement, the FM antenna working mode of the electronic device is determined, the FM antenna working mode is used to indicate whether the FM antenna of the electronic device is connected to an antenna extension line.

[0039] It should be noted that when the electronic device uses or opens the FM radio function, or when the electronic device uses or opens the FM radio function and detects that the received FM signal is poor and does not meet the preset signal requirement, the step of enhancing the FM antenna performance can be performed, and first, it is necessary to determine which FM signal receiving mode, i.e. the FM antenna working mode, is used by the current electronic device. After the FM antenna working mode is determined, the corresponding contact position for enhancing the FM antenna performance can be determined.

[0040] In some embodiments, the FM antenna working mode can include two modes, one is to use the inserted earphone line as the FM antenna, and the other is to directly use the built-in FM antenna. The two modes can be determined by detecting whether the electronic device is connected to the earphone, and thus the FM antenna working mode can be determined by the step of detecting whether the electronic device is connected to the earphone. Wherein, whether the electronic device is connected to the earphone can be determined by using the existing method, and the method of determining whether the electronic device is connected to the earphone is not limited in the present application.

[0041] In some embodiments, the step of determining that the received FM signal does not meet the preset signal requirement can be performed by the FM receiving chip and the baseband processing chip. The FM receiving chip can detect the strength and signal-to-noise ratio of the FM receiving signal and send the results to the baseband processing chip. The baseband processing chip judges whether the preset threshold can be met. When the baseband processing chip judges that the strength and signal-to-noise ratio of the FM receiving signal cannot meet the preset threshold, the following step can be performed.

[0042] Wherein, the FM signal received by the electronic device is transmitted to the FM receiving chip and then to the baseband processing chip after passing through the FM antenna. The baseband processing chip is electrically connected to the display screen of the electronic device. The display screen is used to display various graphical interfaces on the electronic device. The FM receiving chip is used to receive the FM signal, detect the strength and signal-to-noise ratio of the FM receiving signal, and report the results to the baseband processing chip. The baseband processing chip is used to judge whether the strength and signal-to-noise ratio of the FM receiving signal received by the FM chip are sufficient. When the strength and signal-to-noise ratio of the FM receiving signal are not sufficient, the output prompt information function of the electronic device needs to be turned on, i.e. the following step is performed.

[0043] Step 102: output corresponding prompt information according to the FM antenna working mode, the prompt information including information prompting the user to contact a preset area on the electronic device, the preset area being used to enhance the performance of the FM antenna when the user contacts the preset area.

[0044] It should be noted that after the working mode of the FM antenna is determined, corresponding prompt information can be output to tell the user which area of the electronic device to touch to improve the performance of the FM antenna. For example, if the FM built-in antenna mode is not connected to the antenna extension line, the FM antenna corresponding rear shell position can be contacted. If the FM built-in antenna has been connected to the antenna extension line, the ground potential corresponding rear shell position of the electronic device can be touched to enhance the performance of the FM antenna.

[0045] In some embodiments, the FM antenna working mode includes the case of having connected the antenna extension line and the case of not having connected the antenna extension line. The following will be described in detail:

[0046] Case 1: when the FM antenna working mode indicates that an antenna extension line is connected, i.e., the FM antenna is connected to the earphone, output a preset first prompt information, the preset first prompt information includes information prompting the user to contact a first area on the back shell of the electronic device, the first area is located on the opposite side of the location of the antenna extension line interface of the electronic device.

[0047] It should be noted that when it is determined that the electronic device is connected to an antenna extension line, such as an earphone, it is considered that the electronic device is in an FM mode of receiving through an earphone line, and a preset first prompt information corresponding to the mode is output, wherein the preset first prompt information includes information prompting the user to contact a first area on the back shell of the electronic device, the first area is located on the opposite side of the location of the earphone interface of the electronic device. The first prompt information can be voice information, interface information, etc., as long as the information can clearly inform the user of the contact position, and the form of the first prompt information is not limited in the present application.

[0048] It can be understood that when the electronic device is connected to the earphone, the earphone is equivalent to the positive pole of the FM antenna, i.e., the half-wave dipole antenna, and the mainboard of the electronic device is equivalent to the negative pole of the half-wave dipole antenna. Since the mainboard of the electronic device is very short, it affects the receiving performance of the antenna, for example, the mainboard of a mobile phone is generally only about 0.15 meters. The position on the electronic device opposite to the position of the earphone is equivalent to the negative pole position of the half-wave dipole antenna, and when the user contacts the negative pole position, it can play a role in extending the ground wire. The FM antenna connected to the earphone extends from the upper part of the electronic device, and the user holds the lower part of the electronic device, which is equivalent to extending from the lower part of the mainboard of the electronic device, i.e., the ground extends downward, and the area of the antenna is the largest, so the receiving effect of the antenna is the best. Correspondingly, if the earphone is in the lower part of the electronic device, the first area should be in the upper part of the electronic device, and the user should hold the position area opposite to the position of the earphone to improve the performance of the antenna.

[0049] In some embodiments, in order to facilitate the user to know the prompt information, the preset first prompt information can be interface information, which can clearly inform the user of the contact position for improving the performance of the FM antenna by displaying the interface information on the display screen of the electronic device.

[0050] In the present embodiment, the preset first prompt information can include first interface information, and the electronic device outputting the preset first prompt information can include: displaying the first interface information on the display screen of the electronic device, the first interface information includes a first position frame, and the position of the first position frame projected vertically onto the back shell corresponds to the first area.

[0051] Figure 2 An interface schematic diagram of the electronic device outputting the preset first prompt information in a vertical screen mode is provided for the embodiments of the present application, as shown inFigure 2 As shown in FIG. 1, the electronic device includes one earphone interface for inserting an earphone; the display interface of the display screen displays an FM playing interface, and further displays a prompt box, and the prompt content in the prompt box is: Note: holding the area can improve the receiving performance of the FM. The prompt box is the first position box, and the position of the first position box vertically projected onto the back shell is the first area which needs to be contacted by the user.

[0052] Figure 3 A schematic diagram of an interface for outputting preset first prompt information in a landscape mode of an electronic device is provided in the embodiments of the present application, as shown in FIG. 2. Figure 3 As shown in FIG. 2, compared with the display interface in the portrait mode shown in FIG. 1, only the display direction of the words in the prompt box is changed, and the position of the prompt box and the prompt content are not changed. Figure 3

[0053] It can be understood that the length of the earphone wire is generally about 0.75 meters, and the 1 / 4 wavelength of the FM, i.e., the wavelength of 100 MHz, is 3 meters, which is close to the 1 / 4 wavelength of 75 cm. Therefore, in general, the FM performance in the case of holding the electronic device is generally better than that in the case of placing the electronic device on a table when the FM radio is working. Therefore, by prompting the user to hold the relevant area of the electronic device to enhance the receiving performance of the FM in the interface of the electronic device, the receiving performance of the FM can be improved.

[0054] Further, in order to improve the performance of the FM antenna, a metal part can be arranged in the first area to strengthen the receiving effect. In the embodiments, the first area can be provided with a metal part, and the metal part of the first area can be electrically connected to the ground potential of the electronic device.

[0055] It should be noted that when the user holds the first area, there is actually a capacitor between the main board of the electronic device and the hand of the user. The hand of the user cannot directly hold the main board of the electronic device, and the capacitor is coupled to the ground potential to assist the effect of the hand on the ground potential of the electronic device. The effect is actually not as good as that of connecting a metal part, such as a metal sheet, to the ground potential of the electronic device. Therefore, a metal area is arranged on the back shell of the electronic device, and the metal area is electrically connected to the ground potential of the electronic device. When the user holds the metal area, the performance of the antenna can be better improved.

[0056] Case 2: When the FM antenna working mode indication indicates that the antenna extension line is not connected, i.e., the FM antenna is not connected to the earphone, output preset second prompt information, and the preset second prompt information includes information prompting the user to contact a second area on the back shell of the electronic device, and the second area is located in the area vertically projected onto the back shell from the position of the built-in FM antenna of the electronic device. ​

[0057] It should be noted that when it is determined that the electronic device is not connected to the antenna extension line, for example, the earphone, it is considered that the electronic device is in the FM receiving mode through the built-in FM antenna, and preset second prompt information corresponding to the mode is output, wherein the preset second prompt information includes information prompting the user to contact a second area on the rear shell of the electronic device, and the second area is located in the area on the rear shell vertically projected from the position of the FM antenna of the electronic device. Wherein the second prompt information can be voice information, interface information, etc., as long as the position of the user contacting can be clearly informed, and the form of the second prompt information is not limited in the present application.

[0058] It can be understood that when the electronic device uses the FM built-in antenna, because the FM antenna itself is small and the receiving efficiency is low, the user can be prompted to hold the rear shell area corresponding to the FM antenna to lengthen the FM antenna and improve the receiving performance of the FM antenna.

[0059] In some embodiments, in order to facilitate the user to know the prompt information, the preset second prompt information can be interface information, and by displaying the interface information on the display screen of the electronic device, the user can be clearly informed of the contact position for improving the performance of the FM antenna.

[0060] In the present embodiment, the preset second prompt information can include second interface information, and the electronic device outputting the preset second prompt information can include: displaying the second interface information on the display screen of the electronic device, and the second interface information includes a second position box, and the position of the second position box vertically projected onto the rear shell corresponds to the second area.

[0061] Figure 4 An interface schematic diagram of a preset second interface output by an electronic device in a portrait screen mode is provided for the embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 4 The electronic device includes one earphone interface without inserting an earphone; the display interface of the display screen displays an FM playing interface, and also displays a prompt box marking the FM built-in antenna area, and another prompt box points to the FM built-in antenna area, and the prompt content is: attention: holding the area can improve the receiving performance of the FM. The prompt box marking the FM built-in antenna area is the second position box, and the position of the second position box vertically projected onto the rear shell is the second area which the user needs to contact.

[0062] It can be understood that when receiving the FM signal, the user holds the area of the FM built-in antenna with his hand, which not only does not block the FM antenna, but also helps to improve the receiving efficiency of the FM built-in antenna due to the size of the human body, so that the sensitivity of the FM is improved. Therefore, at this time, in order to obtain better receiving effect of the FM antenna, the user can be instructed to hold the FM antenna area of the mobile phone.

[0063] Furthermore, to improve the performance of the FM antenna, a metal component may be added to the second region to achieve better reception. In this embodiment, the second region may be provided with a metal component, and the metal component in the second region may be electrically connected to the FM antenna.

[0064] It should be noted that by providing a metal component in the second area on the back cover of the electronic device, which is connected to the FM antenna, the user can directly connect to the FM antenna by touching the metal component. Compared with the user directly touching the second area, the effect of improving the performance of the FM antenna is better.

[0065] Furthermore, to improve the performance of the FM antenna, in addition to indicating the antenna position of the electronic device where the user is touching, the ground potential of the electronic device can also be indicated to improve the FM antenna's reception. In this embodiment, the second interface information may also include a third position frame, the position of the third position frame vertically projected onto the rear cover corresponding to a third area, and the third area is located on the other side of the second area.

[0066] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of an interface of a preset second interface of another electronic device outputted in portrait mode provided by an embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 5 As shown, in Figure 4 In addition to the interface shown, there is a prompt box at the bottom of the display screen. The prompt box reads: Note: Holding this area can improve FM reception performance! This prompt box is the third position box.

[0067] It should be noted that Figure 5 The FM antenna is located at the upper part of the electronic device, so a third position frame is set at the lower part of the electronic device as an extension of the ground. The user can hold the second area and the third area at the same time, that is, hold the FM antenna area and the ground area of ​​the mobile phone at the same time to achieve a better effect of improving the FM antenna performance.

[0068] It is understandable that the second position box is used to instruct the user to hold the antenna, and the third position box is used to instruct the user to hold the ground, which can make the FM antenna expand in two directions, with the largest expansion area and the best signal reception effect. Holding the area corresponding to the antenna or the area corresponding to the ground alone does not have such a good effect. If you can only touch one area, then holding the area corresponding to the antenna is the first choice. Holding the area corresponding to the antenna is more effective in improving antenna performance than holding the area corresponding to the ground. Because the FM antenna itself is very small and has low working efficiency, its main efficiency is on the ground. If you hold the FM antenna, the performance will be higher. If you only hold the ground, the effect will not be particularly good. Of course, the best way is to hold the area corresponding to the second position box and the area corresponding to the third position box at the same time.

[0069] Figure 6 Another interface schematic diagram of the preset second interface output by the electronic device in a horizontal screen mode is provided in the embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 6 Figure 5 The display interface is only the display direction of the words in the prompt box changed according to the screen direction, while the position of the prompt box and the content of the prompt are consistent.

[0070] Further, in order to improve the performance of the FM antenna to achieve better results, a metal part can be added in the third area. In the embodiments, the third area can be provided with a metal part, and the metal part in the third area can be electrically connected with the ground potential of the electronic device.

[0071] Figure 7 Another interface schematic diagram of the preset second interface output by the electronic device in a vertical screen mode is provided in the embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 7 The electronic device includes one earphone interface without an inserted earphone; the display screen displays an FM playing interface; the back shell of the electronic device is provided with one metal sheet 1 connected with the built-in FM antenna; the display interface marks the area of the built-in FM antenna, and a prompt box indicates the metal sheet 1, and the prompt content is: Note: holding the area can improve the receiving performance of the FM! The lower part of the electronic device is provided with one metal sheet 2; the lower part of the electronic device is provided with a prompt box indicating the metal sheet 2, and the prompt content in the prompt box is: Note: holding the area can improve the receiving performance of the FM!

[0072] It should be noted that one metal sheet is arranged on the back shell of the electronic device at the position corresponding to the FM antenna, and is electrically connected to the FM antenna; one metal sheet is arranged at the position on the other side of the position of the FM antenna, and is electrically connected to the ground potential inside the electronic device, so as to indicate the user to touch the two metal sheets, and when the user touches the two metal sheets, the effect of improving the performance of the FM antenna can be achieved.

[0073] It can be understood that the built-in FM antenna is connected to the metal sheet on the back shell of the electronic device, so that when the user holds the metal sheet on the back shell of the electronic device, the built-in FM antenna can be connected to the human body, thereby increasing the electrical length of the built-in FM antenna. The metal sheet is arranged at the lower part of the electronic device, and is connected to the metal ground plane inside the electronic device, so that the ground plane of the electronic device can be connected to the human body, thereby increasing the electrical length of the ground plane of the electronic device. The user is indicated to hold the two positions through the prompt information, and the effect of improving the performance of the FM antenna can be achieved.

[0074] ​In some embodiments, the method for enhancing FM antenna performance can further include: when it is determined that the FM signal received by the FM antenna meets the preset signal requirement or a user's closing prompt instruction is received, closing the preset first prompt information or the preset second prompt information.

[0075] It should be noted that when the user is detected to contact the specified position of the electronic device to improve the performance of the FM, the prompt box requiring the user to contact the specified position of the electronic device can be closed after the improvement of the FM receiving performance is realized. If the user does not want to operate according to the prompt information and chooses to directly close the prompt information, the prompt box requiring the user to contact the specified position of the electronic device can also be closed to avoid affecting the user.

[0076] The method for enhancing FM antenna performance provided by the embodiments of the present application enables the user to know the antenna position or the ground position that can be contacted on the electronic device by outputting the prompt information including the contact position of the user, and enables the FM antenna to be in better effect through the joint action of the user and the antenna of the electronic device.

[0077] It should be understood that, although Figure 1 The steps in the flowchart of the method for enhancing FM antenna performance are displayed in sequence according to the arrows, but these steps are not necessarily executed in sequence according to the arrows.
