[0032] In order to enable a more detailed understanding of the features and technical contents of the embodiments of the present application, the implementation of the embodiments of the present application is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The attached drawings are for reference only and are not used to limit the embodiments of the present application.

[0033] At present, it has become a development trend for electronic devices to be equipped with satellite communication functions. However, from a technical point of view, the difference between satellite communication and conventional cellular communication is that there are more base stations for cellular communication, that is, the base station cell connected to the electronic device at a certain moment is not far away from the electronic device (generally within a few kilometers), so the transmission power of the cellular frequency band generally only needs to be 23dBm, and the receiving sensitivity only needs to be around -102dBm to have a relatively stable and good call experience, and the electronic device does not need to be aimed at a specific direction; while for satellite communication, if high-orbit satellites are used as an example, there are only 1 to 2 satellites available for connection. According to public information, each satellite is 36,000 kilometers away from the ground. Long distances require electronic devices to have greater transmission power and stronger receiving performance, so the transmission power of the satellite frequency band of electronic devices generally needs to be 35dBm, and the receiving sensitivity is required to be below -124dBm, and it is still aimed at the satellite. Among them, the receiving sensitivity is the current technical bottleneck. The smaller the receiving sensitivity, the better the communication experience under weak satellite signals.

[0034] When performing satellite communication, you need to turn on the satellite communication function first and adjust the position or attitude of the electronic device to enable the electronic device to align with the satellite. Figure 1 As shown, after aiming at the satellite, connect to the satellite and start satellite communication.

[0035] At present, some electronic devices have the function of satellite communication in handset mode, that is, by optimizing the radio frequency indicators and antenna performance, it can support satellite calls by placing the electronic device next to the ear like a normal call, because the electromagnetic environment around the electronic device next to the ear is more complex and requires higher signal demodulation capabilities. However, in handset mode, it is still not possible to make a 360° turn to ensure that the call will not be disconnected or stuck, because in handset mode, when the user's ear is close to the handset of the first electronic device to answer or make a satellite call, the direction angle of the electronic device will shift. As the offset angle increases, the satellite signal received by the electronic device will quickly weaken, which is very likely to cause call jams or even disconnections. Figure 2 As shown, the electronic device is in the opposite direction to the satellite. Since the user cannot see the screen prompt, that is, cannot see the degree of satellite deviation at this time, it is impossible to adjust the head direction in time to maintain a better communication satellite angle.

[0036] Based on this, the embodiments of the present application provide a satellite communication method, apparatus, device, storage medium and computer program product. When using a handset to make a satellite call, since the user cannot see the display interface of the first electronic device, a second electronic device can be used to display prompt information to guide the user to adjust the posture of the first electronic device, so as to align the first electronic device with the satellite, improve the quality of satellite calls in handset mode, and solve the problems of call freezes and dropped calls.

[0037] Figure 3 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a first process of a satellite communication method in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 3 As shown, the method is applied to a first electronic device, and the method may specifically include:

[0038] Step 301: When the first electronic device enters the handset mode of satellite calling, the second electronic device is triggered to display a prompt message, where the prompt message is used to prompt the user to maintain or adjust the holding posture of the first electronic device, and the prompt message is determined by the first electronic device or the second electronic device.

[0039] The first electronic device can be understood as an electronic device with satellite communication function, and the electronic device has a speaker mode and a receiver mode during satellite calls. The first electronic device described in the embodiments of the present application may include, for example, a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a wearable device, and the like.

[0040] The second electronic device can be understood as an electronic device with a display screen, which is used to display prompt information, assist the first electronic device in the handset mode to align with the satellite, and improve the satellite call quality in the handset mode. The second electronic device described in the embodiment of the present application may include, for example, a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a wearable device, etc.

[0041] The second electronic device is different from the first electronic device, and the second electronic device may or may not have a satellite communication function. For example, the first electronic device is a mobile phone, and the second electronic device is a smart watch. For another example, the first electronic device is a mobile phone, and the second electronic device is a tablet computer. For another example, the first electronic device is a mobile phone, and the second electronic device is also a mobile phone. For another example, the first electronic device is a smart watch, and the second electronic device is a mobile phone.

[0042] In some embodiments, the method further includes: the first electronic device performs a satellite search operation; and when the first electronic device is aligned with the satellite, the first electronic device establishes a satellite communication connection with the satellite.

[0043] The process of the satellite search operation may include: turning on the satellite communication function; searching for available satellite signals, and adjusting the direction angle and pitch angle of the first electronic device according to the prompts of the display interface. Figure 4 As shown, the first electronic device takes a mobile phone as an example. According to the prompt information displayed on the interface, the user rotates the mobile phone left / right to move the satellite icon to the fan-shaped area; then tilts the mobile phone forward / backward to move the ball to the center area of ​​the circle, and correctly sets the direction angle and pitch angle to realize the operation of aiming the mobile phone at the satellite, thereby maximizing the signal transmission efficiency. Figure 5As shown, once the phone successfully aligns and locks the satellite signal, the interface will show that it has been successfully connected to the satellite, prompting the user to maintain the current posture, and display dialing and SMS icons for making calls and sending messages.

[0044] In some embodiments, the method further includes: in response to a trigger operation for a satellite call, the first electronic device enters a satellite call phase and receives or sends call data.

[0045] In some embodiments, the method further comprises: in response to a trigger operation for the handset mode, switching from the speaker mode to the handset mode, the first electronic device entering the handset mode for satellite calling.

[0046] It should be noted that the first electronic device may enter the speaker mode by default when making a satellite call, and then switch from the speaker mode to the receiver mode in response to a trigger operation for the receiver mode. The first electronic device may enter the receiver mode by default when making a satellite call, and then switch from the receiver mode to the speaker mode in response to a trigger operation for the speaker mode.

[0047] In some embodiments, the prompt information displayed by the second electronic device includes at least one of the following: the azimuth offset of the first electronic device relative to the satellite, the pitch angle offset of the first electronic device relative to the satellite, the satellite signal strength, the attitude adjustment method of the first electronic device, the latitude and longitude of the first electronic device, satellite information, etc. The prompt information may be composed of text labels and / or image labels.

[0048] The prompt information can be displayed in a pop-up window and / or in real time. For example, the prompt information is first displayed in a pop-up window, and the pop-up window page includes a prompt summary and a detail control. In response to an operation on the detail control, you can enter the detail interface to view the real-time satellite tracking of the first electronic device.

[0049] In some embodiments, when the first electronic device is aligned with the satellite, the second electronic device displays a first prompt message, the first prompt message is used to prompt the user to maintain the holding posture of the first electronic device; when the first electronic device is not aligned with the satellite, the second electronic device displays a second prompt message, the second prompt message is used to prompt the user to adjust the holding posture of the first electronic device. The display modes of the first prompt message and the second prompt message may be the same or different.

[0050] The second electronic device takes a smart watch as an example. When the satellite call of the mobile phone enters the handset mode, the display interface of the smart watch is triggered to display a prompt message, such as Figure 6As shown, when the mobile phone is not aligned with the satellite, the second prompt information of the display interface of the smart watch is that the satellite icon is not in the fan-shaped area, indicating that the direction angle of the mobile phone is not aligned with the satellite, and the satellite signal strength indicator determines that the current signal strength is weak, and then according to the text prompt "Turn the phone right" for the posture adjustment method displayed on the interface, the user turns the head or body to the right, so that the satellite icon moves to the fan-shaped area, and the satellite signal strength is enhanced.

[0051] like Figure 7 As shown, when the mobile phone is aligned with the satellite, the display interface of the smart watch displays the first prompt information. The satellite icon in the fan-shaped area determines that the direction angle of the mobile phone is aligned with the satellite. The small ball is located at the center of the circle to determine that the pitch angle of the mobile phone is also aligned with the satellite. The satellite signal strength icon determines that the current signal strength is strong. At this time, the display interface displays a text prompt "Maintain current posture".

[0052] In some embodiments, triggering the second electronic device to display the prompt information may include: generating a first instruction when the first electronic device enters the handset mode of the satellite call, and sending the first instruction to the second electronic device to trigger the second electronic device to display the prompt information. The first instruction is used to indicate that the first electronic device enters the handset mode of the satellite call.

[0053] In some embodiments, the prompt information is determined based on one or more sensor data of the first electronic device.

[0054] In some embodiments, one or more sensors include a sensor for monitoring the posture of the first electronic device. For example, the one or more sensors include at least one of the following: an accelerometer, a gyroscope, and a magnetometer. A gyroscope is used to measure the angular velocity of the first electronic device around three axes to help track changes in the direction of the first electronic device. An accelerometer is used to measure the acceleration of the first electronic device on three axes. A magnetometer is used to measure the direction of the first electronic device relative to the earth's magnetic field to help calibrate and correct the posture and direction of the terminal device. The gyroscope, accelerometer, and magnetometer can work together to provide real-time motion and posture information such as the posture, angular velocity, and acceleration of the terminal device.

[0055] In some embodiments, the method also includes: when the first electronic device is aimed at a satellite, obtaining first data collected by one or more sensors of the first electronic device; when the first electronic device enters a handset mode for a satellite call, obtaining second data collected by one or more sensors of the first electronic device; the first electronic device sends the first data and the second data to the second electronic device via a Bluetooth connection, so that the second electronic device determines prompt information based on the first data and the second data.

[0056] The first data is the sensor data when the first electronic device is aligned with the satellite, and the second data is the sensor data when the first electronic device enters the handset mode for satellite calls. By processing and analyzing the difference between the first data and the second data, it is determined whether the first electronic device is aligned with the satellite. The first electronic device sends the sensor data to the second electronic device in real time. The second electronic device can quickly determine whether the first electronic device is aligned with the satellite by processing and analyzing the sensor data of the first electronic device and generate corresponding prompt information.

[0057] In some embodiments, when the first electronic device is aimed at a satellite, first data collected by one or more sensors of the first electronic device is obtained; when the first electronic device enters handset mode for a satellite call, second data collected by one or more sensors of the first electronic device is obtained; the first electronic device determines prompt information based on the first data and the second data; and the first electronic device sends the prompt information to the second electronic device via a Bluetooth connection.

[0058] The first electronic device can also process and analyze the sensor data to determine whether the first electronic device is aligned with the satellite and generate corresponding prompt information. It only needs to send the prompt information to the second electronic device for visual display to help the user quickly understand the alignment status of the first electronic device and the satellite.

[0059] In some embodiments, determining prompt information based on first data and second data may include: determining first posture information of the first electronic device when it is aimed at a satellite based on the first data; determining second posture information of the second electronic device in handset mode based on the second data; generating first prompt information when the second posture information and the first posture information meet a matching condition; generating second prompt information when the second posture information and the first posture information do not meet the matching condition.

[0060] In an embodiment of the present application, first posture information representing the first electronic device facing the satellite is determined by processing and analyzing first data, and second posture information representing the first electronic device entering the handset mode for a satellite call is determined by processing and analyzing second data. The first posture information can be used as reference posture information for facing the satellite, and by comparing whether the second posture information is consistent with or close to the first posture information, it is determined whether the first electronic device is facing the satellite.

[0061] Exemplarily, the first posture information includes a first direction angle and a first pitch angle, and the second posture information includes a second direction angle and a second pitch angle. The matching conditions include: the offset between the first direction angle and the second direction angle is less than a first threshold, and the offset between the first pitch angle and the second pitch angle is less than a second threshold. The first threshold may be the maximum offset value of the direction angle, and the second threshold may be the maximum offset value of the pitch angle.

[0062] In some embodiments, the prompt information may also be determined based on one or more of the location of the first electronic device, the location of the satellite, and the satellite signal strength.

[0063] By adopting the above technical solution, when the first electronic device uses the handset to make a satellite call, since the user cannot see the display interface of the first electronic device, the second electronic device can be used to display prompt information to guide the user to adjust the posture of the first electronic device, so as to achieve alignment between the first electronic device and the satellite, improve the quality of satellite calls in the handset mode, and solve the problems of call freezes and dropped calls.

[0064] Figure 8 FIG. 2 is a second flow chart of the satellite communication method in the embodiment of the present application. Figure 8 As shown, the method is applied to a second electronic device, and the method may specifically include:

[0065] Step 801: When the first electronic device enters the handset mode of satellite calling, a prompt message is displayed, where the prompt message is used to prompt the user to maintain or adjust the holding posture of the first electronic device. The prompt message is determined by the first electronic device or the second electronic device.

[0066] In some embodiments, the method further includes: when the first electronic device enters the handset mode of satellite calling, receiving a first instruction sent by the first electronic device, and displaying prompt information in response to the first instruction. The first instruction is used to indicate that the first electronic device enters the handset mode of satellite calling.

[0067] In some embodiments, the method further includes: when the first electronic device enters the handset mode of satellite call, displaying the activation control of the satellite communication mode; and the second electronic device displays prompt information in response to the operation of the activation control for the satellite communication mode. By setting the activation control, the user can decide whether to turn on the auxiliary satellite pointing function of the second electronic device.

[0068] In some embodiments, when the first electronic device is aligned with the satellite, the second electronic device displays a first prompt message, and the first prompt message is used to prompt the user to maintain the holding posture of the first electronic device; when the first electronic device is not aligned with the satellite, the second electronic device displays a second prompt message, and the second prompt message is used to prompt the user to adjust the holding posture of the first electronic device.

[0069] In some embodiments, the prompt information is determined based on one or more sensor data of the first electronic device.

[0070] In some embodiments, the one or more sensors include a sensor for monitoring the posture of the first electronic device. For example, the one or more sensors include at least one of the following: an accelerometer, a gyroscope, and a magnetometer.

[0071] In some embodiments, the method also includes: receiving first data and second data sent by the first electronic device via a Bluetooth connection, the first data being data collected by a direction sensor of the first electronic device when the first electronic device is aimed at a satellite, and the second data being data collected by a direction sensor of the first electronic device when the first electronic device enters a handset mode for a satellite call; and determining prompt information based on the first data and the second data.

[0072] In some embodiments, the method further includes: receiving prompt information sent by the first electronic device via a Bluetooth connection, where the prompt information is determined by the first electronic device based on the first data and the second data.

[0073] In some embodiments, the prompt information may also be determined based on one or more of the location of the first electronic device, the location of the satellite, and the satellite signal strength.

[0074] By adopting the above technical solution, when the first electronic device uses the handset to make a satellite call, since the user cannot see the display interface of the first electronic device, the second electronic device can be used to display prompt information to guide the user to adjust the posture of the first electronic device, so as to achieve alignment between the first electronic device and the satellite, improve the quality of satellite calls in the handset mode, and solve the problems of call freezes and dropped calls.

[0075] Taking the first electronic device as a mobile phone and the second electronic device as a smart watch as an example, the embodiment of the present application is further illustrated. Fig. 9 FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of a third flow chart of a satellite communication method in an embodiment of the present application. Fig. 9 As shown, the method is applied to a satellite communication system, the satellite communication system includes a mobile phone and a smart watch, and the method may specifically include:

[0076] Step 901: The mobile phone turns on the satellite communication function;

[0077] Step 902: The mobile phone activates the direction sensor to monitor the posture of the mobile phone;

[0078] Exemplarily, the direction sensor includes at least a gyroscope for detecting the direction angle and pitch angle of the mobile phone.

[0079] When the user turns on the satellite communication function of the mobile phone, it is necessary to ensure that the mobile phone is in an open and unobstructed outdoor environment in order to receive satellite signals. At the same time, the mobile phone will activate the gyroscope and other direction sensors to monitor the posture of the mobile phone. Based on this, the mobile phone will display prompt information to remind the user to aim at the satellite angle in the sky by swinging left and right or up and down. After aiming at the satellite according to the prompt, the satellite search is completed and the satellite communication connection is realized.

[0080] Step 903: The mobile phone completes the operation of aligning with the satellite and obtains the first data collected by the direction sensor;

[0081] Step 904: the mobile phone sends the first data to the watch via Bluetooth connection;

[0082] When the mobile phone is aligned with the satellite and completes the satellite search, the current sensor data of the mobile phone (i.e. the first data) will be packaged and transmitted to the watch via Bluetooth connection, so that the watch can obtain the sensor data when the mobile phone is aligned with the satellite, and thus obtain the current attitude information of the mobile phone, which includes at least the first pitch angle and the first direction angle.

[0083] It should be noted that the mobile phone can also send the first data to the watch via Bluetooth connection when the mobile phone enters the handset mode.

[0084] Step 905: the mobile phone connects to the satellite and enters the satellite call phase;

[0085] Step 906: In response to the triggering operation for the handset mode, the mobile phone enters the handset mode for satellite calls;

[0086] It should be noted that the mobile phone may also enter the handset mode by default, that is, the user does not need to perform a triggering operation for the handset mode.

[0087] Step 907: The mobile phone obtains the second data collected by the direction sensor, and sends the second data to the watch via Bluetooth connection;

[0088] Step 908: Trigger the watch to enter satellite call mode;

[0089] Step 909: The watch generates and displays prompt information based on the first data and the second data.

[0090] When the user clicks on the handset mode, the user will move the phone from in front of him to his ear to listen to the satellite call. At this time, the user cannot see the phone screen and loses the detection of the current phone satellite signal and direction, thus triggering the watch to enter the satellite call mode. The watch interface displays the current phone's deviation from the satellite, that is, the sensor data when the phone is successfully aligned with the sensor data of the phone in the handset mode is used to map and display the current phone's satellite alignment direction map, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the user is prompted to turn the head or body to obtain a better calling experience while using the handset for satellite calls, thereby avoiding the problem of call freeze or dropped calls due to the deviation of the alignment between the mobile phone and the satellite caused by turning the body when the mobile phone screen cannot be observed.
