Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to power setting technology for electronic devices, and more particularly to power setting technology for handheld communication products. Background Technology

[0002] Fifth-generation mobile communication (5G) is divided into sub-6G and mm-Wave systems operating at different frequencies. The current system architecture is Non-Standalone (NSA). In NSA architecture, 4G LTE is used to communicate with base stations, while the 5G network handles the actual data transmission. Related communication products, under certain regulations, must meet different test conditions regarding the total output power absorbed by the human body: less than 1.6 W / kg and 4 W / kg, respectively. In NSA architecture, communication products need to output 4G and 5G power simultaneously, while also considering the output power of Wi-Fi. To meet regulatory requirements, the output power of 4G and 5G communication products must be significantly reduced. Therefore, identifying the usage scenario of a communication product and adjusting its output power accordingly is crucial. This ensures that the appropriate power is output in various situations while meeting regulatory requirements and performance needs. Current methods include incorporating grip sensors or P-sensors into the hardware design. Some systems, unable to identify the intended use case, can only choose the safest output power setting (lowest output power). Generally, more sensors are needed to enable communication products to make judgments, which increases design complexity and cost. Summary of the Invention

[0049] Figure 4 The above is a flowchart illustrating a power setting method according to some embodiments of the present invention. Please also refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 4 After the electronic device 100 is started, it repeatedly executes steps S401 to S406 according to a sequence of inherent modules 102-1 to 102-N and one or more executable functions of the electronic device 100. Hereinafter, for ease of explanation, the inherent modules 102-1 to 102-N and one or more executable functions of the electronic device 100 are referred to as items. In step S401, the processor 101 receives a feedback signal corresponding to the current item among the inherent modules 102-1 to 102-N and the executable functions of the electronic device 100. In step S402, the processor 101 determines whether the feedback signal of the current item satisfies a judgment condition corresponding to the current item. If the feedback signal satisfies the aforementioned judgment condition for the current item, it proceeds to step S403. If not, it proceeds to step S404. In step S403, the processor 101 sets the output power of the electronic device 100 according to the setting mode corresponding to the current item. In step S404, if the current item is the last item, then proceed to step S405, where the last item refers to the last item in the order of the executable functions of the aforementioned inherent modules 102-1 to 102-N and electronic device 100; if the current item is not the last item, then proceed to step S406.

[0050] In step S405, the processor 101 sets the output power of the electronic device 100 according to a preset mode. In step S406, based on the aforementioned order of the inherent modules 102-1 to 102-N and the executable functions of the electronic device 100, the processor 101 selects the next item corresponding to the current item as the current item.

[0051] It is worth noting that in this embodiment, the processor 101 can determine whether the current item is the last item based on the branching structure in the programming language (e.g., the following code structure: if (is the last module) {set to preset power} else {the next item is the current item}) to decide whether to execute setting the output power of the electronic device 100 to the preset power (step S405) or to use the next item corresponding to the current item as the current item (step S406). The processor 101 can also directly use the predetermined next item as the current item or set the output power of the electronic device 100 to the preset power based on the order of the inherent modules 102-1 to 102-N and the multiple executable functions of the electronic device 100 pre-written in the hardware or software, after determining that the judgment conditions corresponding to each inherent module 102-1 to 102-N and the multiple executable functions of the electronic device 100 are not met, without using the aforementioned branching structure in the programming language.

The judgment condition corresponding to the network sharing function is that the network sharing function is enabled. And the setting mode corresponding to the network sharing function is a first setting mode.

If yes, in step S513, the processor 101 sets the output power of the electronic device 100 according to the fifth setting mode (setting 4). If no, then in step S514, the processor 101 sets the output power of the electronic device 100 according to the fourth setting mode (setting 2).

[0082] Figure 10 The above is a flowchart illustrating a power setting method according to some embodiments of the present invention. Please also refer to... Figure 1 , Figure 10 As per Table (a) above, in this embodiment, the processor 101 sets the operating power of the radio frequency module 103 to set the output power of the electronic device 100 based on the usage scenario of the electronic device 100.

[0083] In step S501, the electronic device 100 is activated and proceeds to step S1000. In step S1000, the processor 101 determines whether the electronic device 100 is in the "mobile wireless base station and network sharing function mode" of the aforementioned usage scenario. If yes, the processor 101 sets the RF module 103 of the electronic device 100 according to the first setting mode (setting 0) in step S1001 to set the output power of the electronic device 100. If no, in step S1002, it determines whether the electronic device 100 is in the "call mode" of the aforementioned usage scenario. If yes, the processor 101 sets the RF module 103 of the electronic device 100 according to the second setting mode (setting 1) in step S1003 to set the output power of the electronic device 100. If no, in step S1004, it determines whether the electronic device 100 is in a pocket or holster.

[0084] If the processor 101 determines that the electronic device 100 is in a pocket or holster, in step S1005, the processor 101 sets the output power of the electronic device 100's radio frequency module 103 according to the third setting mode (setting 3). If not, in step S1006, it determines whether the electronic device 100 is "not in use" in the aforementioned usage scenario. If yes, in step S1007, the processor 101 sets the output power of the electronic device 100's radio frequency module 103 according to the fourth setting mode (setting 2). If not, in step S1008, the processor 101 determines whether the electronic device 100 is "held and used (with screen touch action)" (i.e., held and with screen touch action) in the aforementioned usage scenario. If yes, in step S1009, the processor 101 sets the output power of the electronic device 100's radio frequency module 103 according to the fifth setting mode (setting 4). If not, in step S1010, it is determined whether the electronic device 100 is "held and used (without screen touch action)" (i.e., held but without screen touch action) or "used but placed on a table or shelf" (i.e., used but idle).

[0085] If the processor 101 determines that the electronic device 100 is "held and used (without screen touch operation)" in the aforementioned usage scenario (i.e., held but without screen touch operation), then in step S1011, the processor 101 sets the RF module 103 of the electronic device 100 according to the fifth setting mode (setting 4) to set the output power of the electronic device 100. If the processor 101 determines that the electronic device 100 is "used but placed on a table or shelf" in the aforementioned usage scenario (i.e., used but idle), then in step S1012, the processor 101 sets the RF module 103 of the electronic device 100 according to the fourth setting mode (setting 2) to set the output power of the electronic device 100.
