[0051] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

[0056] Example 1

[0057] The embodiment of the present disclosure provides a satellite communication method. The method is applied to a satellite terminal and can improve the efficiency of satellite communication.

[0058] See also Figure 1 The satellite communication method includes steps S101 to S104, and the method is applied to a satellite terminal, and the satellite terminal includes a direction sensor, a receiving antenna for receiving satellite signals, etc., which are not limited here. Each step is described below.

[0059] Step S101, acquiring at least two transit satellites of a communication satellite constellation.

[0060] In this embodiment, the communication satellite constellation includes multiple satellites. By acquiring at least two transit satellites of the same communication satellite constellation, users can be guided to track and communicate with the transit satellite based on the at least two transit satellites, thereby better grasping communication opportunities and improving the communication efficiency and success rate of satellite communications.

[0061] See also Figure 2 , step S101 includes the following steps:

[0062] Step S1011, obtaining each satellite of the communication satellite constellation and its maximum elevation angle of transit.

[0063] Step S1012: Determine a satellite whose maximum transit elevation angle is greater than or equal to a preset elevation angle threshold as the transit satellite.

[0064] It should be noted that satellites with negative elevation angles cannot communicate with satellite terminals as much as possible, and satellites with negative elevation angles are regarded as non-transit satellites. For satellites with positive elevation angles, that is, satellites above the horizon, satellite communications can be performed, but because the elevation angle is too small, the satellite signal is poor. In this embodiment, by setting a preset elevation angle threshold, satellites with positive elevation angles are divided into transit satellites and non-transit satellites. Satellites with a maximum transit elevation angle greater than or equal to a preset elevation angle threshold are determined as transit satellites, where the maximum transit elevation angle is the highest elevation angle that can be reached relative to the satellite terminal during the entire process of the satellite transit.

[0065] It should be further explained that a satellite terminal refers to a mobile phone with a satellite communication module or communication chip or other independent satellite equipment with display capabilities, and there is no restriction here.

[0066] Step S102: Acquire the direction angle of each of the transit satellites relative to the satellite terminal.

[0067] In this embodiment, the satellite terminal respectively obtains the direction angles of at least two transiting satellites relative to the satellite terminal itself.

[0068] Step S103: displaying the first satellite identifier of each of the transiting satellites on a virtual circle according to the direction angle of each of the transiting satellites.

[0069] In this embodiment, the satellite terminal further includes a direction sensor, which can collect the real direction of the satellite terminal. The first satellite identifier of each transiting satellite is displayed on a virtual circle according to the angle value of the direction angle of each transiting satellite. Figure 3 A virtual circle 304 is established with the satellite terminal 301 as the center, and a first satellite identifier 302 of each transiting satellite is displayed on the virtual circle 304 according to the direction angle of each transiting satellite. The first satellite identifier 302 is used to identify the transiting satellite.

[0070] Step S104: adjusting the satellite antenna receiving direction of the satellite terminal according to each of the first satellite identifiers to control the satellite terminal to establish communication with one of at least two transit satellites.

[0071] It should be noted that, since there is a gap between the signal coverage of the transit satellite and the receiving antenna coverage 305 of the satellite terminal 301, communication connection cannot be established. In this case, the receiving antenna coverage 305 of the satellite terminal 301 is moved to match the signal coverage of the transit satellite, and then a communication connection between the satellite terminal 301 and the corresponding transit satellite can be established. Figure 3As shown, the first satellite identifier 302 corresponding to each transit satellite is displayed on the virtual circle 304, which can intuitively reflect the difference between the signal coverage range of each transit satellite and the receiving antenna coverage range 305 of the satellite terminal 301. The antenna receiving direction of the satellite terminal 301 can be adjusted according to the difference, so that the satellite terminal can communicate with the transit satellite corresponding to a first satellite identifier 302.

[0072] For example, see Figure 4 After adjusting the direction of the receiving antenna of the satellite terminal 301, the receiving antenna coverage range 305 matches the first satellite identifier 302, thereby realizing the communication connection between the satellite terminal 301 and the corresponding transit satellite.

[0073] The satellite communication method provided in this embodiment supports the communication guidance method of multiple satellite constellations, improves communication efficiency and success rate; supports guidance methods for ordinary users and professionals, provides comprehensive information support; provides a variety of settings, and facilitates users to customize their own solutions. It is not limited to mobile phone apps, applets, WEB pages, etc., but also includes satellite terminals connected to mobile phones and other satellite communication terminals with display interfaces, and has a wide range of application scenarios. In this way, by intuitively displaying the transit information of multiple satellites, prompting the optimal communication adjustment position of the satellite terminal, and sending satellite text messages according to the prompt time of the satellite transit, the efficiency of satellite communication can be effectively improved.

[0074] See Figure Figure 5 , the satellite communication method provided in this embodiment also includes:

[0075] Step S105, determining a satellite whose maximum transit elevation angle is less than the preset elevation angle threshold as a non-transit satellite;

[0076] Step S106, obtaining the direction angle of the non-transit satellite relative to the satellite terminal;

[0077] Step S107: displaying a second satellite identifier of the non-transit satellite on the virtual circle according to the direction angle of the non-transit satellite.

[0078] It should be noted that the preset elevation angle threshold can be customized, for example, it can be 60 degrees or other values, which will not be described in detail here. Figure 3, the corresponding second satellite identifier 303 is displayed on the virtual circle 304 according to the direction angle of the non-passing satellite. In this embodiment, in order to effectively distinguish the first satellite identifier and the second satellite identifier, different icons can be used to represent the first satellite identifier and the second satellite identifier respectively, the same icons of different sizes can be used to represent the first satellite identifier and the second satellite identifier, and the same shape icons of different colors can be used to represent the first satellite identifier and the second satellite identifier, and there is no limitation here. For example, a large-size icon can be used to represent the first satellite identifier, and a small-size icon can be used to represent the second satellite identifier.

[0079] In one embodiment, the satellite communication method further includes:

[0080] Determine the transit satellite with the largest transit maximum elevation angle or the longest transit time among the at least two transit satellites as a first recommended satellite, and display a first recommendation identifier of the first recommended satellite;

[0081] The receiving direction of the satellite antenna of the satellite terminal is adjusted according to the first recommendation identifier to control the satellite terminal to establish communication with the first recommended satellite.

[0082] In this embodiment, a special mark such as a different icon, color or text may be used as the first recommendation mark, and the first recommendation mark is used to guide the user to select to perform the alignment and realize the communication with the passing satellite. Figure 3 ,Will Figure 3 The first satellite identifier 302 at an elevation angle of 20° and the first satellite identifier 302 at an elevation angle of 60° are included. The transit satellite corresponding to the first satellite identifier 302 at an elevation angle of 60° is used as the first recommended satellite. The word "recommended" is displayed near the first satellite identifier 302 at an elevation angle of 60° to remind the user that the transit satellite can be used for communication connection.

[0083] In one embodiment, the satellite communication method further includes:

[0084] Display the receiving direction mark of the satellite antenna;

[0085] A direction adjustment parameter of a satellite antenna of the satellite terminal is obtained, and the movement of the receiving direction identifier is controlled according to the direction adjustment parameter so that the receiving direction identifier matches the first recommended identifier.

[0086] See also Figure 3 The receiving direction mark 306 can be a line segment or a sector area, which is not limited here. In the process of adjusting the receiving direction of the satellite antenna of the satellite terminal 301 according to the first recommendation mark, the direction adjustment parameter of the satellite antenna of the satellite terminal 301 is obtained so that the receiving direction mark 306 matches the first satellite mark 302 with an elevation angle of 60°. For example, Figure 4 The receiving direction identifier 306 is in a matching state with the first satellite identifier 302 with an elevation angle of 60°, that is, the antenna receiving range of the satellite terminal 301 overlaps with the signal range of the transit satellite corresponding to the first satellite identifier 302 with an elevation angle of 60°, so that the satellite terminal 301 is connected in communication with the corresponding transit satellite.

[0087] In one embodiment, the satellite communication method further includes:

[0088] A modification operation of a user is received, a second recommended satellite is determined from the remaining transit satellites according to the modification operation, and a second recommendation identifier of the second recommended satellite is displayed, wherein the remaining transit satellite is a transit satellite other than the first recommended satellite among at least two of the transit satellites.

[0089] See also Figure 6 , the transit satellite corresponding to the first satellite identifier 302 with an elevation angle of 20° can be determined as a recommended satellite through user operation, and the word "recommended" is displayed near the first satellite identifier 302 with an elevation angle of 20° to guide the user to perform the satellite alignment operation. In this way, the user can change the recommended satellite by clicking, etc., which is convenient for the user to independently aim at the satellite. The user can adjust the direction according to the selection to communicate.

[0090] In one embodiment, the satellite communication method further includes:

[0091] A target satellite currently communicating with the satellite terminal is determined, and a communication identifier of the target satellite is displayed.

[0092] In this embodiment, when the satellite is successfully connected, the satellite being communicated is marked or specially displayed, and the graded signal quality is displayed. The communication mark may include a signal strength mark, see Figure 4 , the communication mark 307 is used to display the satellite currently communicating with the satellite terminal 301 and provide a signal strength prompt. In addition, when the communication is disconnected, the satellite connection process can be restarted.

[0093] See also Figure 6 The satellite terminal allows users to display and filter the currently displayed satellites on demand. The filtering options include: display only transit satellites, display only connected satellites, and satellite elevation filtering. Display only transit satellites means displaying only transit satellites, and display only connected satellites means displaying only connected satellites after the satellite connection is successful. The satellite elevation filtering sets the minimum elevation angle, that is, sets the minimum elevation angle in the elevation angle range, which means marking the satellite whose maximum elevation angle of transit is lower than the minimum elevation angle as not transiting. The minimum elevation angle can be understood as the aforementioned threshold elevation angle threshold. In addition, mode options are provided, including professional mode and / or simple mode.

[0094] In one embodiment, the satellite communication method further includes:

[0095] receiving a mode switching operation input by a user, and starting the professional mode according to the mode switching operation;

[0096] In the professional mode, the compass information and satellite motion information of each of the transiting satellites or the non-transiting satellites are displayed, and the next transit time of the non-transiting satellite is displayed.

[0097] In this embodiment, a professional mode is provided for professional users. On the basis of the simple mode, compass information and satellite motion information are added, and the next transit time of each satellite that has not transited can be marked. At the same time, professional information such as angles of various directions and satellite direction angles can be marked, and environmental information can also be collected and displayed in conjunction with the camera. Environmental information can include temperature and humidity information, etc., which is not limited here.

[0098] See also Figure 7 In the professional mode, the arrow indicates the movement direction of the transit satellite corresponding to the first satellite identifier 302 with an elevation angle of 20°, which is clockwise, and the arrow indicates the movement direction of the transit satellite corresponding to the first satellite identifier 302 with an elevation angle of 60°, which is clockwise. The compass information is displayed, including east (E), south (S), west (W), and north (N). The next transit time of the non-transit satellite corresponding to the second satellite identifier 303 between 180° and 270° is 30s, and the next transit time of the non-transit satellite corresponding to the second satellite identifier 303 at 180° is 3h20min10s.

[0099] In one embodiment, the satellite communication method further includes:

[0100] An identification update operation input by a user is received, and the first satellite identification and / or the second satellite identification is updated according to the identification update operation.

[0101] In this way, the function of changing the background is provided, and different satellite logos and different screen background images can be set to load, which is convenient for users to customize the interface and convenient for visually impaired people to identify communication icons. For example, people with red and green color blindness can set the first satellite logo and the second satellite logo to non-red and green colors to facilitate distinction and improve the efficiency of satellite communication connection.

[0102] The satellite communication method provided in this embodiment obtains at least two transit satellites of a communication satellite constellation; obtains the azimuth of each transit satellite relative to the satellite terminal; displays the first satellite identifier of each transit satellite on a virtual circle according to the azimuth of each transit satellite; and adjusts the satellite antenna receiving direction of the satellite terminal according to each first satellite identifier to control the satellite terminal to establish communication with one of the at least two transit satellites.
