[0053] In order to make the purpose, features, and advantages of the present disclosure more obvious and easy to understand, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0054] A communication method of an electronic device and an electronic device provided by the present application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0055] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a communication method of an electronic device, including:

[0056] S101, in response to a target triggering event, controlling the electronic device to enable a first communication module; and,

[0057] It is understandable that the electronic device provided in the present application may be a smart phone, a tablet computer, a laptop computer, a desktop computer, a smart home appliance, an artificial intelligence device, a wearable device or a virtual reality device, etc. The electronic device is provided with a first communication module, which can establish a connection with a network device capable of providing network services through a satellite, so that the electronic device can realize satellite communication.

[0058] It can be understood that the target trigger event in the present application may be moving the electronic device to the target area, or the user manually triggering the electronic device, or establishing a connection between the electronic device and other devices, or the electronic device switching the network mode, or opening the target application on the electronic device, or detecting that the communication status of other communication modules on the electronic device cannot meet the current scenario, or the current form of the electronic device cannot meet the requirements of the communication module, or the electronic device and other devices change position and cannot achieve satellite communication, etc.

[0059] The first communication module in the present application can be a satellite communication module, which uses an artificial satellite as a relay station to forward radio waves, thereby realizing communication between two or more earth stations; satellite communication has the characteristics of large communication range, high reliability, rapid circuit opening, multiple-address reception and multiple-address connection, which can enable electronic devices to achieve higher quality communication connections.

[0060] For example, when the electronic device is a laptop computer, when the laptop computer is moved to an area where the ground base station signal is weak, such as the sea, desert, suburbs, grassland or mountain top and other sparsely populated places, the laptop computer system starts the satellite communication module; or a target button or target action is provided on the laptop computer, and when the user needs a higher quality communication signal, the user can use the target button or target action to make the laptop computer start the satellite communication module. For example, the target button can be a set shortcut key or combination key, and the target action can be a voice command or gesture command; or when the user uses the laptop computer to establish a connection with other devices, such as when a video call, voice call, meeting communication, video sending, photo sending, etc. is required, the laptop computer can automatically start the satellite communication module; or when the user switches the network mode of the laptop computer to hotspot sharing mode , the electronic device starts the satellite communication module; or when the user opens the target application in the laptop computer, such as opening a conference application, a video call application, a voice call application, and other applications that require high-quality signals for large-volume data transmission; or when the communication quality of other communication modules in the laptop computer cannot meet the user's usage needs, the laptop computer enables the satellite communication module. It should be noted that at this time, the user can choose to use the satellite communication module and other communication modules at the same time or only enable the satellite communication module according to the power of the laptop computer. For example, when the power is sufficient, the satellite communication module and other communication modules can be used at the same time. When the power is average or insufficient, only the satellite communication module is enabled; or when the laptop computer needs to cooperate with other devices to achieve satellite communication, the satellite communication module is enabled by changing the position relationship with other devices.

[0061] S102, adjusting the communication parameters of the first communication module based on the current usage information of the electronic device, so that the electronic device can establish a first communication connection with a network device via a satellite;

[0062] The network device is a device that can provide network services, such as a ground communication base station, and the communication distance that the first communication module can support is greater than that of other communication modules of the electronic device.

[0063] It is understandable that after the electronic device enables the first communication module, a communication connection needs to be established through the first communication module. At this time, the communication parameters of the first communication module need to be adjusted according to the current usage information of the electronic device, so that the first communication module has the ability to establish a satellite communication connection with the network device.

[0064] The current use information in this application includes the current use location information of the electronic device, the current use object information, the current use application information, the current use mode information and the current use form information; the communication parameters of the first communication module include radiation power, frequency, number of antenna arrays and radiation angle, etc. Among them, the radiation power is the product of the transmitter transmission power and the transmission antenna gain, which is a parameter that characterizes the transmission capability of the earth station or satellite transponder; the frequency of the first communication module affects the propagation characteristics, transmission distance, anti-interference capability and data transmission rate of the signal; the number of antenna arrays can strengthen and improve the direction of the radiation field. By reasonably arranging multiple antennas, the antenna array can have a stronger signal radiation capability in a specific direction, while reducing the signal radiation in unnecessary directions, thereby improving the directional transmission efficiency of the signal; as the radiation angle changes, the intensity of the radiation changes with the direction.

[0065] The network device in this application is a device that establishes a communication connection between an electronic device and a satellite, such as a network base station, a network radar, or a large network device that provides a network. The electronic device can establish a satellite communication connection with a network base station, a network radar, or other network devices through a satellite relay.

[0066] For example, at least one of the current number of users, the system applications used by the current users, the current hotspot mode and / or network communication mode of the laptop computer, and the current main body orientation of the laptop computer determines the current network requirements of the laptop computer, thereby adjusting the communication parameters of the first communication module according to the network requirements to establish a communication connection for the laptop computer. For example, when the satellite communication module of a laptop computer is started, if the laptop computer is in an area with weak ground base station signals, such as uninhabited areas such as snow-capped mountains and oceans, the radiation power, frequency, number of antenna arrays and radiation angle of the first communication module of the laptop computer can be adjusted based on communication needs to enable the laptop computer to achieve high-quality connection with satellite communication as much as possible and achieve higher quality communication functions; or, when the user needs to switch the network mode of the laptop computer to hotspot sharing mode, the laptop computer has a greater traffic demand at this time, and the original mobile communication module and / or wifi communication module of the laptop cannot meet the current traffic demand. At this time, the radiation power and radiation angle of the first communication module of the laptop computer can be adjusted to utilize the first communication module to obtain a greater traffic transmission function, so as to utilize the satellite communication connection to meet the traffic transmission demand; or when the system application used by the user is a video conversation, voice call or conference communication related call, the laptop computer has a greater traffic transmission demand at this time, and the radiation angle of the laptop computer can be adjusted to improve the directional transmission efficiency of the signal and achieve high-quality calls.

[0067] It should be noted that the electronic device in the present application also has other communication modules in addition to the first communication module, and the communication distance of the first communication module is greater than that of any other communication modules.

[0068] For example, in the present application, the first communication module is a satellite communication module, and other communication modules may be ultra-wideband (UWB) communication modules or mobile communication 5G / 4G / 3G modules or wireless (Wireless Fidelity, WIFI) communication modules, or other communication modules, which are not limited in the present application. Among them, the communication distance of the satellite communication module is greater than the communication distance of other communication modules.

[0069] The communication method of the electronic device provided by the present application starts the first communication module in the electronic device in response to the target trigger event, adjusts the communication parameters of the first communication module according to the current use information of the electronic device, and adjusts the communication parameters to communication parameters that are easier to establish a communication connection with the network device through the satellite, so that the electronic device and the network device establish a communication connection. By adjusting the communication parameters of the first communication module, the present application enables the electronic device to search for the direction of the maximum strength of the satellite signal, thereby achieving a faster satellite search and enabling the electronic device to establish a communication connection with the satellite more quickly.

[0070] It should be noted that the communication method of the electronic device provided in the present application can be implemented by the processor CPU or graphics processor GPU and memory in the electronic device, wherein the CPU or GPU can be reused as the computing unit of the satellite Internet terminal, and the memory can be reused as the storage unit of the satellite Internet terminal where the first communication module is located. The communication method of the electronic device of the present application is implemented by the processor CPU, that is, the communication parameters of the first communication module are adjusted by using the current usage information of the electronic device in the present application, so that the electronic device can establish a first communication connection with the network device through the satellite. The technical solution provided in the present application can be implemented by the processor in the electronic device, so the implementation cost is low; and the satellite communication signal gain of the electronic device is much higher than the built-in antenna of the mobile phone, and the computing and storage speed of the laptop computer is also much higher than that of the mobile phone, so that the signal strength and networking speed received by the laptop terminal are much higher than that of the mobile phone, and the functions of sending and receiving voice calls, video calls and other transmissions that consume a lot of traffic can be realized.

[0071] In some optional embodiments, in response to a target triggering event, controlling the electronic device to enable the first communication module includes:

[0072] In response to a target triggering event, a type and / or source of the target triggering event is obtained, and based on the type and / or source, the first communication module of the electronic device is enabled in a corresponding control manner.

[0073] Specifically, the target trigger event in the present application can be actively or passively occurring, or the target trigger event in the present application can be classified according to the scenario and the necessity of the demand. Depending on the type of target trigger event, the control method of starting the first communication module of the electronic device in the present application is different.

[0074] For example, an active target trigger event can be manually triggered by a user. When the user triggers a button on a laptop or generates a trigger instruction through a gesture, the laptop starts the satellite communication module according to the trigger instruction; a passive target trigger event can be that the electronic device detects that the communication quality of other communication modules cannot meet the demand and enables the first communication module; the target trigger event involved in the scenario can be the location area of ​​the laptop. When the laptop moves to the target location area where the signal of the ground base station is weak, the laptop can be set to start the satellite communication module directly when it is turned on or when the electronic device is turned off. The target trigger event of the laptop communication demand can be when the laptop detects that the communication quality of other communication modules cannot meet the demand or the electronic device opens the target application or the laptop is used for meetings, video calls, voice calls and other large-volume data transmission applications. According to the traffic demand, the current communication module can be switched from other communication modules to the first communication module, such as switching from a 5G or 4G mobile communication module to a satellite communication module, or other communication modules can be turned off and then the first communication module can be enabled, or other communication modules can work simultaneously with the first communication module.

[0075] In some optional embodiments, in response to the target triggering event, controlling the electronic device to enable the first communication module includes at least one of the following:

[0076] In response to the electronic device entering the target location area, controlling the electronic device to enable the first communication module;

[0077] In response to obtaining a target operation acting on a device, controlling the electronic device to enable the first communication module;

[0078] In response to the electronic device establishing a second communication connection with the target terminal device, controlling the electronic device to enable the first communication module;

[0079] In response to the electronic device switching to the first network mode, controlling the electronic device to enable the first communication module;

[0080] In response to the electronic device running the target application, controlling the electronic device to enable the first communication module;

[0081] In response to a communication parameter of a second communication module of the electronic device not meeting a current communication condition, controlling the electronic device to enable the first communication module;

[0082] In response to the electronic device switching to the target device form, controlling the electronic device to enable the first communication module;

[0083] In response to the electronic device having a target location relationship with at least one terminal device, the electronic device is controlled to enable the first communication module.

[0084] Specifically, when the electronic device enters the target location area, the target location area is an area where the ground base station signal is weak, such as snow-capped mountains, oceans, deserts, Antarctica, Arctic and other areas with extremely poor communication signals. When the processor determines that there is currently no other communication module for communication connection, the processor controls the electronic device to enable the first communication module.

[0085] The target operation may be an instruction generated by a user operating the electronic device through a specific key or voice instruction or gesture instruction or shortcut key or key combination, and the processor controls the electronic device to enable the first communication module according to the instruction. For example, when the user directly speaks a satellite communication connection or the user makes a preset gesture for satellite communication connection within the camera viewing range of the laptop computer, the CPU in the laptop computer receives the voice signal or gesture, that is, generates an instruction for satellite communication connection, and controls the laptop computer to enable the first communication module based on the instruction for satellite communication connection.

[0086] When the electronic device establishes a connection with another device, and the electronic device interacts with the other device to perform a specific function to generate a second communication connection, the processor generates a control instruction based on the second communication connection to control the electronic device to enable the first communication module. For example, when a user's laptop computer establishes a video connection with another user's mobile phone or conducts a conference communication or sends photos, a second communication connection needs to be created, and the processor generates a control instruction to control the laptop computer to enable the first communication module.

[0087] When the electronic device switches the current network mode to the first network mode, for example, switches the current communication mode of the laptop to the hotspot sharing mode, and the communication quality and traffic transmission need to be improved, the processor controls the electronic device to enable the first communication module.

[0088] When the electronic device runs a target application, for example, the target application may be a conference application, a video call-related application, a voice call-related application, a photo transmission application, or other application that requires large traffic flow to transmit data, the processor controls the electronic device to enable the first communication module.

[0089] When the communication parameters of the current second communication module of the electronic device cannot meet the current communication needs, for example, the second communication module is a WIFI, 5G or other communication module, and when the communication signal strength is low and the stability is poor, the processor determines that the current communication module cannot meet the current communication needs, and controls the electronic device to enable the first communication module. If the electronic device has sufficient power, the first communication module and the second communication module can run at the same time to ensure the communication quality. If the electronic device has insufficient power, only the first communication module can be enabled.

[0090] When the electronic device switches to the target device form, for example, when the display screen of a laptop computer presents a preset angle with the host, the preset angle is the angle at which the electronic device can conduct satellite communication, the processor generates a control instruction based on the preset angle between the display screen and the host, and controls the electronic device to enable the first communication module.

[0091] When the electronic device and other terminal devices act as antenna radiators together, for example, the radiating surfaces of each terminal device are spliced ​​together, such as splicing the radiating surfaces of multiple laptops equipped with radiating antennas together to construct a large radiating surface, thereby increasing the radiation area as the radiator of the integrated antenna, the processor controls the laptop to enable the first communication module.

[0092] As a preferred embodiment, when the laptop computer is moved to an uninhabited area such as snow-capped mountains, oceans, deserts, Antarctica, or the Arctic, the user can enable the satellite communication module through voice commands, gesture commands, or key triggers. It can be understood that in this case, the laptop computer can also be set to directly start the satellite communication module when it is turned on or restarted from a shutdown state; when the user is partying or playing outside and wants to switch the network mode of the laptop computer to hotspot sharing mode, it is necessary to improve the communication quality and traffic transmission, so the laptop computer is controlled to start the satellite communication module, and then the satellite signal is shared through a hotspot. Or when the user is playing in an area with weak signals, such as traveling, and wants to make a video call, voice call or conference communication with friends, the user runs a video call application, a voice call application or a conference application on a laptop computer, and the communication quality of the current communication module cannot meet the demand, such as too low bandwidth, low signal strength, and poor stability. At this time, the laptop computer can be controlled to enable the satellite communication module; wherein enabling the satellite communication module can be the current communication module switching from other communication modules to the satellite communication module, such as switching from a 5G or 4G mobile communication module to a satellite communication module, or turning off other communication modules and starting the satellite communication module, or under the condition of sufficient power, other communication modules currently in use work at the same time as the satellite communication module to improve the communication quality. If the power is not ideal, only the satellite communication module is enabled to avoid excessive power consumption. When the user switches the laptop computer to a preset angle between the screen and the main body where the host system is located, that is, the angle at which satellite communication is required, for example, the radiation surface of the laptop computer with an antenna array installed is adjusted so that the radiation surface of the antenna array installed faces the direction with the strongest satellite signal strength, so that the electronic device enables the satellite communication module. It can be understood that the radiation surface on which the antenna array is installed is the side of the screen body of the laptop computer that is opposite to the display screen.

[0093] In some optional embodiments, adjusting the communication parameters of the first communication module based on the current usage information of the electronic device includes at least one of the following:

[0094] Obtaining target communication parameters corresponding to current usage information of the electronic device, and adjusting the device form and / or posture of the electronic device using a target driving component so that the first communication module has the target communication parameters;

[0095] Obtaining target prompt information corresponding to current usage information of the electronic device, and adjusting the device form and / or posture of the electronic device based on the target prompt information so that the first communication module has target communication parameters;

[0096] Obtaining target communication parameters corresponding to current usage information of the electronic device, and automatically configuring parameter configuration items of the first communication module so that the first communication module has the target communication parameters;

[0097] Target prompt information corresponding to the current usage information of the electronic device is obtained to prompt the user of the electronic device to configure corresponding parameter configuration items in the first configuration interface of the first communication module so that the first communication module has target communication parameters.

[0098] Specifically, after the electronic device activates the first communication module, it first determines the target communication parameters such as the radiation direction, angle, radiation power, frequency band, etc. that match the current position of the electronic device. It can be understood that the target communication parameters can be pre-set in the electronic device, or can be obtained through the communication module currently used by the electronic device. Then, the shape and posture of the electronic device are adjusted using a target driving component belonging to the electronic device or a target driving component that does not belong to the electronic device; wherein the shape and posture of the electronic device include the device shape such as the angle between the body where the satellite antenna array is placed and the other body of the device, so that the first communication module has the target communication parameters; the orientation of the body where the antenna is located, etc. For example, the angle formed between the display screen and the host body in a laptop computer, and the orientation of the body where the antenna is located in a laptop computer. Wherein, when the target driving component does not belong to the electronic device, it can be connected to the electronic device through a wire independently of the electronic device. Or,

[0099] After the first communication module of the electronic device is enabled, the prompt information corresponding to the current device form of the electronic device is first determined to instruct the user to adjust the form and / or posture of the electronic device according to the prompt information, wherein the prompt information may be text display information and / or audio information, etc. Then, the device form of the electronic device such as the angle between the main body where the satellite antenna array is placed and other main bodies is adjusted according to the prompt information, so that the first communication module has the target communication parameters. The prompt information may directly display step information prompting the user to adjust the form and / or posture of the electronic device, or may change the output adjustment prompt information in real time as the user adjusts, so as to help the user gradually complete the adjustment and configuration of the target communication parameters. Or,

[0100] After the electronic device activates the first communication module, it first determines the current geographic location of the electronic device or the running application or the current network mode of the electronic device and other usage information to obtain the required target communication parameters, and then the electronic device automatically configures the radiation power, transceiver frequency, number of antennas in working state or which antennas, etc. of the satellite communication module corresponding to the current geographic location or the running application or the current network mode of the electronic device and other usage information, so that the first communication module has the target communication parameters. Or,

[0101] After the first communication module is enabled in the electronic device, prompt information corresponding to the usage information such as the current geographic location of the electronic device or the running application or the current network mode of the electronic device is first determined. The prompt information can be displayed on the display screen of the electronic device. The user configures the radiation power, transmission and reception frequency, radiation direction angle, etc. of the satellite communication module through the configuration interface according to the prompt information.

[0102] For example, the radiation direction, angle, radiation power, frequency band, etc. of the laptop computer that matches the current position are obtained, and then the target drive component is used to adjust the shape and / or posture of the laptop computer, specifically to adjust the laptop computer shape such as the angle between the body where the satellite antenna array is placed and other bodies of the laptop computer, so that the satellite communication module has the target communication parameters; the direction of the body where the antenna is located, etc., wherein the body where the antenna is located can be the A side of the laptop computer display screen. Alternatively, the current usage information of the laptop computer is obtained to instruct the user to adjust the shape and / or posture of the laptop computer according to the prompt information. The current usage information can be the current laptop computer shape, and then the user adjusts the device shape and / or posture of the laptop computer according to the prompt information, so that the satellite communication module has the target communication parameters. Alternatively, the target communication parameters are determined based on the usage information such as the current geographical location of the laptop computer or the running application or the current network mode of the laptop computer, so that the laptop computer automatically configures the radiation power, transceiver frequency, number of antennas that enter the working state or which antennas of the satellite communication module. Alternatively, corresponding target prompt information is determined based on the communication needs of the laptop computer's current geographical location or the running application or the electronic device's current network mode or device form and other usage information, so that prompt information for configuring the radiation power, transmission and reception frequency, and radiation direction angle of the satellite communication module through the configuration interface is displayed on the laptop computer's display screen, and the display screen also has a first configuration interface for the user to set parameter configuration items, so that the target communication parameters of the satellite communication module are configured by using objects.

[0103] In some optional embodiments, adjusting the communication parameters of the first communication module based on the current usage information of the electronic device includes at least one of the following:

[0104] Adjusting the communication parameters of the first communication module to first communication parameters matching the current use location information based on the current use location information of the electronic device;

[0105] Adjusting the communication parameters of the first communication module to second communication parameters matching the current use object information based on the current use object information of the electronic device;

[0106] Adjusting the communication parameters of the first communication module to third communication parameters matching the currently running application based on the application currently running on the electronic device;

[0107] Adjusting the communication parameters of the first communication module to fourth communication parameters matching the current usage mode based on the current usage mode of the electronic device;

[0108] Based on the current device form of the device, the communication parameters of the first communication module are adjusted to fifth communication parameters that match the current device form.

[0109] Specifically, in the present application, the communication parameters of the first communication module can be adjusted based on the location information of the electronic device, wherein the communication parameters of the first communication module include the radiation direction, angle, power, etc. of the satellite communication module. For example, when the laptop is in an area with extremely poor communication signals such as snowy mountains, oceans, and deserts, it is necessary to adjust multiple parameters such as radiation power, frequency, number of antenna arrays, and radiation angle, because it is difficult to connect to satellite communications in areas with extremely poor communication signals, so more communication parameters need to be adjusted, and the communication parameters finally adjusted can enable the satellite to communicate with the laptop.

[0110] The communication parameters of the first communication module can also be adjusted based on the number of users of the electronic device. For example, when multiple people use different laptops to communicate with each other, it can be inferred that the laptop may need to enter hotspot mode to provide the network required by multiple people, and the satellite communication connection established by the first communication module needs to provide a larger network flow, and then the communication parameters of the first communication module are adjusted to meet the current scene requirements; if only a simple communication function is required, only the radiation direction or radiation power of the satellite communication module can be adjusted to achieve the communication function.

[0111] The communication parameters of the first communication module can also be adjusted based on the application currently running on the electronic device. For example, when using a video application, a conference application, or a voice call application on a laptop, because these interactive functions require a large amount of traffic transmission, otherwise there will be a freeze, the radiation direction of the satellite communication module can be adjusted to improve the quality of the laptop computer and the satellite communication connection, thereby achieving large traffic transmission.

[0112] The communication parameters of the first communication module can also be adjusted as needed based on the application requirements currently used by the electronic device and the usage scenarios corresponding to the application. For example, if a conference application is opened in an area with low communication signals for conference communication, and if the conference communication is stuck and communication is not smooth, the quality of satellite communication can be improved by adjusting the radiation power.

[0113] It is also possible to adjust the communication parameters of the first communication module to communication parameters that match the hotspot mode based on the current use mode of the electronic device, such as hotspot mode or other communication modes. For example, when the hotspot mode is turned on for a laptop, the radiation direction of the laptop is adjusted so that the satellite communication module can receive the maximum radiation intensity to obtain a larger flow rate transmission.

[0114] The communication parameters of the first communication module can also be adjusted based on the current form of the electronic device to obtain communication parameters that match the current form of the electronic device. For example, if the laptop is currently at the best radiation angle, the radiation power, frequency, and number of antenna arrays can be adjusted based on the radiation angle to enable the laptop to achieve the highest quality satellite communication connection with the satellite.

[0115] For example, when there are multiple users of a laptop computer, multiple users use the laptop computer to communicate in a conference or video or share hotspots in an area where the ground base station signal is relatively weak. At this time, high-bandwidth communication parameters are required. At this time, the radiation direction, angle, power, etc. of the satellite communication module are adjusted so that the communication signal output by the adjusted satellite communication module has the characteristics of high bandwidth and high communication signal quality. Or when there is only one user of the laptop computer, the user may have needs such as video or voice or send photos with friends, which requires a larger flow rate, or the user only reads the news, which only requires a smaller flow rate, so the communication parameters of the satellite communication module are adjusted according to the user's demand for flow. Or when the user enters an area with a weak ground base station signal, an ocean, a desert or other uninhabited area and / or needs to open a video call application on the laptop computer, the user can adjust the device shape and / or posture of the laptop computer to adjust the communication parameters that the satellite communication module can receive the maximum radiation intensity.

[0116] In some optional embodiments, adjusting the communication parameters of the first communication module based on the current usage information of the electronic device includes:

[0117] Calculate satellite signal distribution data of the current location based on the current usage location information of the electronic device;

[0118] Calculating current radiation parameters of the first communication module based on the current device form and / or posture of the electronic device;

[0119] Output a target control instruction based on the satellite signal distribution data to adjust the device shape and posture of the electronic device and at least one of the radiation parameters of the first communication module so that the first communication module has target communication parameters.

[0120] Specifically, Figure 2 As shown, in this application, a satellite positioning system, such as the Beidou satellite navigation system or the Global Positioning System (GPS), can be used to obtain the current location information of the electronic device, and then the satellite signal strength distribution map is calculated in combination with the built-in clock and the built-in satellite trajectory map in the electronic device; the maximum radiation direction of the antenna array is designed to be perpendicular to the direction of the A surface of the laptop computer according to the current device form and / or posture of the electronic device, and the direction of the A surface of the laptop computer is determined according to the internal sensor, and the built-in antenna array directional diagram is compared to calculate the current state antenna field distribution diagram, that is, the current radiation parameters of the first communication module, and output the target control instruction according to the satellite signal distribution data. The target control instruction is used to adjust the device form and posture of the electronic device, and the first communication module can have the target communication parameters according to at least one of the radiation parameters. The radiation parameters include radiation direction, power, frequency, etc.

[0121] For example, a laptop computer is provided with a built-in clock and a built-in satellite trajectory map, and the maximum radiation direction of the antenna array is designed to be perpendicular to the radiation surface of the laptop computer, and the radiation surface is the side opposite to the laptop display screen; the current position coordinates of the laptop computer can be directly obtained through the positioning system, and the satellite signal strength distribution map can be calculated based on the position coordinates, the built-in clock and the built-in satellite trajectory map, and the direction of the laptop computer radiation surface is determined according to the internal sensor of the laptop computer, and then the current state antenna field distribution map is calculated according to the built-in antenna array directional map, so as to obtain the target control instruction, and the target control instruction can be output on the display interface of the device. Prompt, or prompt how to adjust the direction of the laptop computer radiation surface through voice; or directly output the control instruction to the drive component, so that the laptop computer can automatically adjust the shape and posture. It can be understood that the direction of the laptop computer radiation surface is adjusted according to the control instruction, so that the radiation surface points to the maximum radiation direction and the direction of the maximum intensity of the satellite signal, thereby achieving faster satellite search, faster networking speed and more stable network connection.

[0122] It should be noted that in the present application, the laptop computer is adjusted based on the target control instruction, and the operator may manually adjust the laptop computer according to the operation prompt on the display screen of the laptop computer.

[0123] For example, the adjustment can be performed step by step according to the steps on the display screen, or the prompt information can change accordingly as the shape and / or posture of the laptop is adjusted, and the operator can gradually adjust to the target communication parameters. The adjustment of the laptop based on the target control instruction can also be automatic adjustment. During automatic adjustment, the laptop is connected to the universal pan-tilt head, and the universal pan-tilt head receives the target control instruction to adjust the radiation surface of the laptop, so that the electronic device can automatically adjust the shape and posture.

[0124] The communication method of the electronic device provided in this application can greatly improve the satellite search speed, enhance the communication signal, and improve the satellite network connection quality of the electronic device.

[0125] In some optional embodiments, adjusting the communication parameters of the first communication module based on the current usage information of the electronic device includes at least one of the following:

[0126] Obtaining a usage scenario of the electronic device, and adjusting a communication parameter of the first communication module to a sixth communication parameter matching the usage scenario based on the usage scenario and the current usage information;

[0127] The power state of the electronic device is obtained, and a target interaction module in the electronic device that matches the power state responds to a configuration operation or configuration instruction for adjusting the communication parameters of the first communication module, so that the first communication module has target communication parameters.

[0128] Specifically, according to the specific usage scenario of the electronic device, the communication parameters of the first communication module are adjusted to match the usage scenario in combination with the usage scenario and the current usage information; wherein the usage scenario can be a scenario requiring large-volume data transmission, such as making a video call, making a voice call, sending pictures, sending texts, or using it as a hotspot.

[0129] For example, when a laptop needs to make a video call, voice call, send pictures, send text, or be used as a hotspot, and the laptop enters an area where the ground base station signal is weak, such as uninhabited areas such as oceans and deserts, the laptop needs to transmit large amounts of data. In this case, the communication quality between the laptop and the satellite must be high. By adjusting the radiation power and radiation angle of the satellite communication module, a high-quality communication connection between the laptop and the satellite can be achieved, thereby realizing large-volume transmission.

[0130] In this application, the configuration operation or configuration instruction of the communication parameters of the first communication module can also be adjusted according to the current power state of the electronic device by matching the target interaction module corresponding to the power state; wherein the power state includes the power-on state and the power-off state; the target interaction module includes a touch display module, a microphone speaker module, or a direct API interface call drive module. The configuration operation mainly refers to the input operation of the interactive interface or interactive area, and the configuration instruction is a control instruction that does not require user participation and is directly given to the corresponding component for configuration.

[0131] For example, when the laptop is in the off state, the matching target interaction module is a display module or a microphone speaker module, so that the communication parameters of the satellite communication module are adjusted by using the interactive interface or the input operation of the interactive area of ​​the display module or the microphone speaker module. When the laptop is in the on state, the matching target interaction module can be an API interface calling the driver module, and the communication parameters of the satellite communication module are adjusted by using the API interface calling the driver module input operation; regardless of the on state or the off state, the communication parameters of the satellite communication module can be adjusted according to the current usage information of the laptop, such as when in the target area, according to the preset configuration instructions of the laptop. For example, when the laptop is placed in the target area in the on state, the processor receives the positioning based on the positioning of the positioning module in the laptop. For example, according to the positioning, it is determined that the laptop is in the Antarctic or the ocean, and the processor can adjust the radiation power and the number of antennas according to the pre-set instructions for adjusting the radiation power of the satellite communication module and the number of antennas entering the working state. Alternatively, when the laptop is in the off state, the radiation power of the satellite communication module and the number of antennas entering the working state can be adjusted through the display module or the microphone speaker module operation.

[0132] like Figure 3 As shown, in some optional embodiments, the communication method of the electronic device provided by the present application further includes:

[0133] S301, obtaining movement information and / or usage change information of the electronic device, and updating the communication parameters of the first communication module based on the movement information and / or usage change information.

[0134] Specifically, when the electronic device needs to be moved due to actual usage or the usage changes, the communication parameters of the first communication module are updated according to the movement information and / or usage change information, thereby ensuring the satellite communication quality of the electronic device.

[0135] For example, when the laptop operator needs to move, the laptop's geographic coordinates will change, causing the satellite signal's strength and direction to change, so the satellite communication module's communication parameters also need to be updated, for example, adjusting the direction of the laptop's A surface. Or when the network device connected to the laptop is disconnected or needs to be connected to a new network device, the usage information changes, and at this time, the satellite communication module's communication parameters need to be changed to ensure the satellite communication quality of the electronic device.

In the present application, the satellite communication module includes an antenna array and a satellite communication chip that are interconnected, wherein the antenna array is arranged on a first side of the first body, the satellite communication chip is arranged on the second body, and the second body is also provided with a processor, and the processor is used to adjust the communication parameters of the satellite communication module.

[0141] Specifically, the first side in this application is the A side of the electronic device, which is provided with an antenna array as a satellite signal receiving and transmitting antenna. This application enables the satellite communication module through the processor, and adjusts the communication parameters of the satellite communication module based on the current usage information of the electronic device, so that the electronic device can communicate through the Internet via satellite. In this application, the maximum radiation direction of the array antenna is set perpendicular to the A side. Since the area of ​​the A side is large, multiple array units can be arranged, so that the gain of the entire antenna array is much higher than that of a single antenna terminal such as a mobile phone, so as to improve the signal quality. The material of the outer surface of the A side needs to be a material that can transmit electromagnetic waves, such as plastic and glass.

[0142] In this application, the satellite communication processing chip is connected to the antenna array via a cable.

[0143] In some optional embodiments, the electronic device further includes a display screen arranged on the first body 1, and the first side is a side of the first body facing away from a display surface of the display screen;

[0144] The processor is capable of controlling the electronic device to enable the satellite communication module in response to a target trigger event, and adjusting the communication parameters of the satellite communication module based on current usage information of the electronic device, so that the electronic device can establish a first communication connection with a network device via a satellite, and the network device is a device capable of providing network services.

[0145] For example, when the electronic device is a laptop computer, the laptop computer can establish a satellite communication connection with network devices such as network base stations and network radars through satellite relays. The communication method of the electronic device provided in this application can achieve faster satellite search, faster networking speed and more stable network connection.
