In the case of being in the 5G NR CA connection state, the icon of the terminal device is displayed as a second icon, such as a “5G+” icon. The first icon is different from the second icon.

[0037] However, due to the frequent switching between the connected mode and the idle mode of the terminal device, the icon of the terminal device flickers between the first icon and the second icon, which seriously affects the user experience.

[0038] Based on this, the display control method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure includes the following steps.

[0039] The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0047] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the 5G NR CA connection state information can be obtained by registering to listen to the change of the connection state of the NR CA in the Modem layer in the framework layer.

[0048] S2: determining the target display icon to be displayed according to the cell information and the 5G NR CA connection state information.

[0049] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, after obtaining the cell information connected by the terminal device and the current 5G NR CA connection state information, the target display icon to be displayed can be determined according to the cell information and the 5G NR CA connection state information.

[0050] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, after obtaining the cell information connected by the terminal device and the current 5G NR CA connection state information, the target display icon to be displayed can be determined according to the cell information and the 5G NR CA connection state information.

[0051] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, after obtaining the cell information connected by the terminal device and the current 5G NR CA connection state information, the target display icon to be displayed can be determined according to the cell information and the 5G NR CA connection state information.

[0052] Based on this, according to the cell information and the 5G NR CA connection state information, it can be determined whether the cell switching occurs, and in the case of cell switching, whether the switched cell and the original cell belong to the same access technology type, and whether the terminal device is in the 5G NR CA connection state. In this case, according to the corresponding situation, the target display icon to be displayed is determined. Therefore, the problem of frequent switching and ping-pong display of icons caused by controlling the icon display only according to whether the terminal device is in the 5G NR CA connection state can be avoided, and the user experience can be improved.

[0053] By implementing the embodiments of the present disclosure, the cell information connected by the terminal device and the current 5G NR CA connection state information are obtained, and the target display icon to be displayed is determined according to the cell information and the 5G NR CA connection state information.

[0054] Figure 3 Another flowchart of a display control method is provided for the embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 10, the method includes but is not limited to the following steps: Figure 3

[0055] S10: obtaining cell information connected by a terminal device and current 5G NR CA connection state information.

[0056] The related description of S10 can be referred to the related description in the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0057] S20: determining whether switching of cells of different access technology types occurs according to the cell information. ​

[0058] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, whether the handover of the cells of different access technology types occurs can be determined according to the cell information.

[0059] It can be understood that the terminal device can access the network side device by accessing the cell, wherein the network side device can have different types, for example, the network side device can include a 5G base station, a 4G base station, and the like, and the network side device can also include a plurality of cells.

[0060] In some embodiments, whether the handover of the cells of different access technology types occurs is determined according to the cell information, including: determining whether the handover of the cells of different access technology types occurs according to the public land mobile network (PLMN) and the cell identifier (ID) of the accessed cell.

[0061] The terminal device can determine that the cell handover occurs according to the cell information, and the cell information can include the cell ID, in this case, whether the handover of the cells of different access technology types occurs can be determined based on the PLMN of the base station to which the cell before the handover belongs and the PLMN of the base station to which the cell after the handover belongs.

[0062] For example, the terminal device is switched from accessing the cell of the 5G base station to accessing the cell of the 4G base station, in this case, it can be determined that the handover of the cells of different access technology types occurs.

[0063] For example, the terminal device can always access one cell, so whether the handover of the cells of different access technology types occurs can be determined according to the cell ID of the accessed cell.

[0064] For example, the terminal device is switched from accessing the cell of the 5G base station to accessing the cell of the 5G base station (which can be the same as the 5G base station before the handover or can be different), in this case, it can be determined that the handover of the cells of different access technology types does not occur.

[0065] S30: Determine whether the terminal device is in the 5G NR CA connection state according to the 5G NR CA connection state information.

[0066] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, whether the terminal device is in the 5G NR CA connection state can be determined according to the 5G NR CA connection state information.

[0067] In some embodiments, determining whether in the 5G NR CA connection state according to the 5G NR CA connection state information comprises: determining in the 5G NR CA connection state according to the first configuration information sent by the network side device and activating the SCell; and determining not in the 5G NR CA connection state according to the second configuration information sent by the network side device and deactivating the SCell.

[0068] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, in the case of receiving the first configuration information sent by the network side device and activating the SCell (Secondary Cell), it can be determined that the 5G NR CA connection state is in the 5G NR CA connection state.

[0069] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, in the case of receiving the second configuration information sent by the network side device and deactivating the SCell, it can be determined that the 5G NR CA connection state is not in the 5G NR CA connection state.

[0070] The first configuration information and the second configuration information can use the same or different signaling.

[0071] Exemplarily, the first configuration information and the second configuration information can be SCC (Sencondary Carrier Component, secondary carrier) configuration messages sent by RRCConnectionReconfiguration signaling.

[0072] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, S10 can be performed by an information collection unit. After obtaining the cell information and the current 5G NR CA connection state information, it can be sent to the network state tracker of the control unit. The network state tracker can determine whether the handover of different access technology type cells occurs and determine whether in the 5G NR CA connection state according to the cell information and the current 5G NR CA connection state information.

[0073] S40: In response to the handover of different access technology type cells occurring and not being in the 5G NR CA connection state, determining that the target display icon is a first icon.

[0074] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, in the case of the handover of different access technology type cells occurring and not being in the 5G NR CA connection state, it can be determined that the target display icon is the first icon.

[0075] The first icon can be related to the base station type to which the cell after the handover belongs. For example, if the cell after the handover belongs to a 4G base station, the first icon is a "4G" icon, or if the cell after the handover belongs to a 3G base station, the first icon is a "3G" icon, and so on.

[0076] In some embodiments, in response to the preset condition being met, the target display icon is determined to be a second icon; the second icon is different from the first icon; and the preset condition comprises at least one of the following:

[0077] determining that the UE is in a 5G NR CA connection state;

[0078] determining that no handover of different access technology type cells occurs;

[0079] determining that the UE is switched from the 5G NR CA connection state to a state not in the 5G NR CA connection state.

[0080] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, in the case where the preset condition is met, the target display icon is determined to be a second icon, and the second icon is different from the first icon.

[0081] The second icon can be a "5G+" icon.

[0082] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, in the case where the preset condition is met, the second icon is determined to be displayed, i.e., the "5G+" icon is displayed.

[0083] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, in the case where the 5G NR CA connection state is determined to be met, the second icon is determined to be displayed, i.e., the "5G+" icon is displayed.

[0084] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, in the case where the handover of different access technology type cells is determined not to occur, the second icon is determined to be displayed, i.e., the "5G+" icon is displayed.

[0085] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, in the case where the 5G NR CA connection state is determined to be met and the handover of different access technology type cells is determined not to occur, the second icon is determined to be displayed, i.e., the "5G+" icon is displayed.

[0086] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, in the case where the UE is switched from the 5G NR CA connection state to a state not in the 5G NR CA connection state, the second icon is determined to be displayed, i.e., the "5G+" icon is displayed.

[0087] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, in the case where the handover of different access technology type cells is determined not to occur and the UE is switched from the 5G NR CA connection state to a state not in the 5G NR CA connection state, the second icon is determined to be displayed, i.e., the "5G+" icon is displayed.

[0088] It should be noted that the above embodiments are not exhaustive, but are only a part of the embodiments, and the preset condition can further comprise other conditions, which are not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0089] For example, Figure 4As shown, the display control method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure performs cell search at the Modem layer, detects cell registration information update and RRC connection state update, and acquires the cell information (information of the cell registration information update) connected by the terminal device and the current 5G NR CA connection state information (information of the RRC connection state update) by the Framework layer network service state tracker.

[0090] After that, the Framework layer signal icon manager determines, according to the cell information (information of the cell registration information update) and the current 5G NR CA connection state information (information of the RRC connection state), that the cell information has changed and the NR CA is not connected, updates the icon according to the access technology, determines that the cell information has not changed and the connection is switched from NR CA to NR VA, and displays the "5G+" icon, determines that the NR CA has been connected, and displays the "5G+" icon.

[0091] By implementing the embodiments of the present disclosure, the cell information connected by the terminal device and the current 5G NR CA connection state information are acquired, whether the switching of cells of different access technology types occurs is determined according to the cell information, whether the terminal device is in the 5G NR CA connection state is determined according to the 5G NR CA connection state information, and the target display icon is determined to be the first icon in response to the switching of cells of different access technology types and the terminal device not being in the 5G NR CA connection state. Therefore, the problem of frequent switching and ping-pong display of the icon caused by controlling the display of the icon only according to whether the terminal device is in the 5G NR CA connection state can be avoided, and the user experience can be improved.
