[0036] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments in the present application belong to the scope of protection of this application.

[0037] The terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present application are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the terms used in this way are interchangeable where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present application can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first", "second", etc. are generally of one type, and the number of objects is not limited. For example, the first object can be one or more. In addition, "and / or" in the specification and claims represents at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the objects associated with each other are in an "or" relationship.

[0038] In order to make the embodiments of the present application clearer, the following first introduces the relevant technical knowledge involved in the present application, the proposed technical background and the purpose of the present application:

[0039] Satellite communication is a wireless communication method that uses satellites as relay stations. It is a communication method with the advantages of flexible networking, reliable links, wide signal coverage, and no geographical restrictions. Civilian satellite communication can provide voice, video, data and other services. The frequency bands of satellite communication include a wide range of frequency bands from 1GHz to 40GHz, among which the frequency bands used for mobile communications are mainly L band (1~2GHz) and S band (2~4GHz).

[0040] Currently, various mobile phone manufacturers have begun to introduce satellite communications into smart mobile terminals. Satellite communications have begun to enter the general electronic consumer field and expand in the field of smart phones. Due to the structure and space limitations of smart phones, the performance of smart phone satellite antennas cannot be as high as that of professional satellite mobile terminals. The overall antenna efficiency and main direction gain are lower than those of professional satellite mobile terminals.

[0041] Specifically, due to the structure and space limitations of smartphones, satellite antennas are mostly placed on the phone frame, where the antenna radiation arm is very close to the main frame metal, and the radiation capacity is relatively weak. In addition, due to the fixed shape of the frame, there are not many options for the design of satellite antennas. Most of them choose to make a half-wavelength antenna in the top middle frame as a satellite antenna. The circular polarization gain of the antenna designed in this way is not high. In addition, the specific posture of the smartphone when in use is arbitrary, but the main radiation direction of the satellite antenna is certain, so currently only when the user is in a specific posture can a good satellite communication function be achieved.

[0042] In response to the above technical problems, the embodiments of the present application provide a performance enhancement solution for satellite antennas of electronic devices such as smartphones, which, combined with user interface (UI) guidance, can achieve better performance and better user experience.

[0043] The embodiments of the present application can achieve the following points:

[0044] 1. The peripheral-oriented antenna enhancement solution can be combined with peripherals such as electronic device protective cases such as mobile phone cases to enhance the performance of electronic device satellite antennas;

[0045] 2. The enhanced peripherals of the peripheral enhancement solution can have multiple states to achieve satellite antenna performance enhancement in different directions;

[0046] 3. Peripheral enhancement solutions can be combined with electronic device protection such as mobile phone cases and other peripherals, allowing users to customize the design of peripherals, and the trade-offs and different designs are determined by the user;

[0047] 4. Combined with UI design, users can achieve good satellite communication functions in more usage postures.

[0048] In the following, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, the directional antenna structure, protective shell, electronic device, antenna enhancement method and device provided in the embodiments of the present application are described in detail through specific embodiments and their application scenarios.

[0049] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of an electronic device provided with a directional antenna structure according to an embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown, the electronic device includes a device body 101 and a guiding antenna structure 102. The guiding antenna structure 102 includes: a guiding antenna 11, a bracket 12, a rotating structure 13 and a satellite antenna 21 arranged on the top of the device body 101;

[0050] The bracket 12 includes two opposite side edges 121 and a horizontal edge 122 connected between the two side edges 121. The endpoints of the two side edges 121 are respectively movably connected to a rotating structure 13. The bracket 12 is installed at the first position of the opposite two side edges of the device body 101 through the rotating structure 13, and the guide antenna 11 is arranged on the horizontal edge 122.

[0051] The length of the director antenna 11 is less than half of the wavelength λ corresponding to the working frequency band of the satellite antenna 21 , and the distance between the director antenna 11 and the satellite antenna 21 is between 0.15λ and 0.3λ.

[0052] In an embodiment of the present application, in order to improve the radiation performance of satellite antennas on electronic devices such as mobile phones, a steering antenna structure is proposed that can be installed as an external device on the electronic device body for use. The structure can rotate relative to the electronic device to change the steering direction (i.e., from the direction of the satellite antenna to the direction of the steering antenna), thereby enhancing the directivity and gain of the satellite antenna in the steering direction and improving the antenna performance in this direction.

[0053] Specifically, Figure 1 As shown, the electronic device includes a device body 101 and a steering antenna structure 102. The steering antenna structure 102 is composed of a steering antenna 11, a bracket 12, and a rotating structure 13, and can be used as an external part of the electronic device. The external part is independent of the electronic device body and can be assembled to the electronic device body or disassembled from the electronic device body. The external part can be a product form such as a protective case for the electronic device and a camera protective case. That is to say, the steering antenna structure 102 can be a structure on the protective case, which is installed on the opposite sides of the top of the protective case body through the rotating structure 13, and the steering antenna structure 102 is set on the electronic device with the protective case.

[0054] The bracket 12 includes two opposite side edges 121 and a transverse edge 122 connected between the two side edges 121. Figure 1 As shown, the two side edges 121 are opposite and parallel, two ends of the horizontal edge 122 are respectively connected to one end of the two side edges 121 , and the other ends of the two side edges 121 are connected to the rotating structure 13 .

[0055] The bracket 12 is a movable bracket, which can rotate around the rotating structure 13. The guiding antenna 11 is located at the top of the movable bracket 12, that is, it is arranged on the horizontal side 122, and the length of the guiding antenna 11 is L1; the rotating structure 13 is used to support the rotation function between the guiding antenna structure 102 and the device body 101. There is a structural part inside the device body 101 to detect the rotation angle of the rotating structure 13. The bracket 12 is installed at the first position on the opposite side edges of the device body 101 through the rotating structure 13; the satellite antenna 21 of the electronic device is located at the top of the device body 101, and the length of the satellite antenna 21 is L0; the distance between the satellite antenna 21 and the guiding antenna 11 is D.

[0056] In the embodiment of the present application, in order to ensure a good steering effect, that is, to enhance the directivity and gain in the steering direction and improve the antenna performance in this direction, the value of L1 must be slightly less than half of the wavelength λ corresponding to the working frequency band of the satellite antenna 21, and can be close to 0.5λ, but not more than 0.5λ, and the value of D must be between 0.15λ and 0.3λ; wherein, λ can be understood as the equivalent wavelength of the satellite antenna 21 at the working frequency where gain enhancement is required, taking into account the influence of the medium environment. Accordingly, the satellite antenna 21 on the electronic device needs to be designed as an antenna in a half-wavelength mode, and the specific length L0 of the antenna is not rigidly required. In some embodiments, L0 can be between 0.5λ and 0.75λ.

[0057] In addition, it should be noted that, from the perspective of engineering design, the width of the director antenna 11 may be less than 0.02λ to ensure the aesthetics and applicability of the director antenna structure 102 .

[0058] Since there is a big difference between the transmitting and receiving frequencies of the satellite, for example, the Tiantong satellite has a transmitting TX frequency band of 1.98~2.01GHz and a receiving RX frequency band of 2.17~2.2GHz. The fixed-size steering passive antenna can only have an obvious steering effect in a narrower frequency band (generally within 30MHz). Therefore, when the L1 size is about half the wavelength of the center frequency of the TX frequency band, it can achieve a significant gain improvement effect on the transmitting frequency band; when the L1 size is about half the wavelength of the center frequency of the RX frequency band, it can achieve a significant gain improvement effect on the receiving frequency band.

[0059] like Figure 2As shown, the external part where the steering antenna 11 is located, that is, the steering antenna structure 102 and the device body 101 can change the angle θ through the rotating structure 13 at the connection. The steering antenna 11 can enhance the gain of the satellite antenna 21 in a certain direction. This direction is determined by the relative position relationship between the steering antenna 11 and the satellite antenna 21. The direction is the direction from the geometric center of the satellite antenna 21 to the geometric center of the steering antenna 11.

[0060] It should also be noted that the distance between the rotating structure 13 and the satellite antenna 21 on the top of the device body 101 is S. Figure 2 As shown, this spacing is the projection spacing along the long side of the device body 101. In some embodiments, in order to ensure that the bracket 12 and the device body 101 have a good steering effect when they rotate at different angles, the value of S is preferably less than 0.08λ. If the value of S is too large, it will affect the stability of the distance D during the rotation of the steering antenna structure 102. If other factors make it impossible to meet S less than 0.08λ, the value of S can be appropriately expanded. The larger the value of S, the range of the satellite antenna gain effect achieved by changing the angle θ or rotating the peripheral part will be reduced.

[0061] Optionally, the director antenna 11 is a passive antenna.

[0062] That is, in some embodiments, the steering antenna 11 can be a passive antenna that does not require a feeding design, thereby simplifying the structural design of the steering antenna. By reasonably designing the length L1 of the steering antenna 11, the gain of the satellite antenna in the steering direction can also be improved.

[0063] Optionally, the length of the directing antenna 11 is between 0.42λ and 0.46λ.

[0064] That is, in some embodiments, in order to ensure a good steering effect and improve the satellite antenna performance in the steering direction, L1 may be set to a value between 0.42λ and 0.46λ.

[0065] Optionally, the directing antenna 11 is an active antenna, and the directing antenna 11 includes a first antenna branch 111 and a second antenna branch 112, and a first switch SW1 is provided between the first antenna branch 111 and the second antenna branch 112;

[0066] The length of the first antenna branch 111 is related to the wavelength λ1 corresponding to the first working frequency band of the satellite antenna 21;

[0067] The length of the second antenna branch 112 is related to the wavelength λ2 corresponding to the second working frequency band of the satellite antenna 21, wherein the second working frequency band is smaller than the first working frequency band;

[0068] Wherein, when the satellite antenna 21 operates in the first operating frequency band, the first switch SW1 is in an open state; when the satellite antenna 21 operates in the second operating frequency band, the first switch SW1 is in a closed state.

[0069] As described in the above-mentioned embodiment, since the size of a single passive directional antenna is not variable, it can only achieve gain enhancement for one of the TX and RX of the satellite frequency band. If the gain enhancement effect of both TX and RX of the satellite frequency band is to be achieved, the length of the directional antenna 11 of the directional antenna structure 102 needs to be adjustable. Based on this, the present embodiment proposes the following Figure 3 The directional antenna structure 102 on the peripheral device shown, at this time the directional antenna 11 is an active antenna, including two antenna branches, namely the first antenna branch 111 and the second antenna branch 112, and the two antenna branches are connected by a switch SW1, and the switch SW1 can be controlled to open and close by a power supply. When the peripheral device directional antenna structure 102 and the device body 101 are installed as a whole, the power supply of the peripheral device can be powered by the device body 101.

[0070] The length of the first antenna branch 111 is related to the wavelength λ1 corresponding to the first working frequency band of the satellite antenna 21, which may refer to designing the length of the first antenna branch 111 according to the wavelength λ1 corresponding to the first working frequency band of the satellite antenna 21, so that the first antenna branch 111 works alone in the RX state. The length of the second antenna branch 112 is related to the wavelength λ2 corresponding to the second working frequency band of the satellite antenna 21, which may refer to designing the length of the second antenna branch 112 according to the wavelength λ2 corresponding to the second working frequency band of the satellite antenna 21, and making the lengths of the first antenna branch 111 and the second antenna branch 112 meet the requirements of the TX frequency band of the satellite antenna 21, so that the first antenna branch 111 and the second antenna branch 112 work together in the TX state.

[0071] In specific implementation, the first antenna branch 111 can be designed to work alone in the RX state, and the first antenna branch 111 and the second antenna branch 112 can work together in the TX state. Therefore, the length of the first antenna branch 111 can be determined according to the wavelength λ1 corresponding to the RX frequency band of the satellite antenna 21, such as between 0.42λ1 and 0.46λ1; the total length of the first antenna branch 111 and the second antenna branch 112 is determined according to the wavelength λ2 corresponding to the TX frequency band of the satellite antenna 21, such as between 0.42λ2 and 0.46λ2, so that the length of the second antenna branch 112 can be the remaining length after the total length of the two is subtracted from the length of the first antenna branch 111. The above-mentioned first working frequency band can refer to the RX frequency band of the satellite, and the above-mentioned second working frequency band can refer to the TX frequency band of the satellite. The RX frequency band is slightly higher than the TX frequency band, so λ1 is slightly smaller than λ2.

[0072] In this way, when the satellite antenna 21 works in the TX state, that is, works in the second working frequency band, the first switch SW1 on the peripheral device can be controlled to be closed, so as to produce a steering effect on the satellite antenna 21 through the first antenna branch 111 and the second antenna branch 112 acting as a steering antenna; when the satellite antenna 21 works in the RX state, that is, works in the first working frequency band, the first switch SW1 on the peripheral device can be controlled to be disconnected, so as to produce a steering effect on the satellite antenna 21 mainly through the first antenna branch 111 acting as a steering antenna.

[0073] This implementation manner, by designing a length-adjustable directional antenna, can achieve gain enhancement effects for both TX and RX in the satellite frequency band.

[0074] Furthermore, the directional antenna 11 further includes a third antenna branch 113, the third antenna branch 113 and the second antenna branch 112 are symmetrically arranged at two ends of the first antenna branch 111, and a second switch SW2 is arranged between the first antenna branch 111 and the third antenna branch 113;

[0075] The lengths of the second antenna branch 112 and the third antenna branch 113 are related to λ2;

[0076] Among them, when the satellite antenna 21 operates in the first operating frequency band, the first switch SW1 and the second switch SW2 are in an open state; when the satellite antenna 21 operates in the second operating frequency band, the first switch SW1 and the second switch SW2 are in a closed state.

[0077] That is, in some embodiments, the directional antenna 11 can be symmetrically arranged in three sections, so that the directional antenna 11 is centered on the horizontal side 122 of the bracket 12 as a whole, ensuring that the directional antenna 11 produces a central radiation directional effect in each frequency band.

[0078] Specifically, Figure 4 As shown, the directional antenna 11 is an active antenna, including three antenna branches, namely a first antenna branch 111 in the middle, and a second antenna branch 112 and a third antenna branch 113 located on both sides of the first antenna branch 111, and the three antenna branches are connected by switches SW1 and SW2 respectively. The switches SW1 and SW2 can be controlled to open and close by a power supply. When the external device directional antenna structure 102 and the device body 101 are installed as a whole, the power supply of the external device can be powered by the device body 101.

[0079] The lengths of the second antenna branch 112 and the third antenna branch 113 are related to the wavelength λ2 corresponding to the second operating frequency band of the satellite antenna 21, which may mean that the lengths of the second antenna branch 112 and the third antenna branch 113 are designed according to the wavelength λ2 corresponding to the second operating frequency band of the satellite antenna 21, and the lengths of the second antenna branch 112 and the third antenna branch 113 and the length of the first antenna branch 111 meet the requirements of the TX frequency band of the satellite antenna 21, so that the first antenna branch 111, the second antenna branch 112 and the third antenna branch 113 work together in the TX state.

[0080] In specific implementation, it can be designed that the first antenna branch 111 works alone in the RX state, and the first antenna branch 111, the second antenna branch 112 and the third antenna branch 113 work together in the TX state. Therefore, the length of the first antenna branch 111 can be determined according to the wavelength λ1 corresponding to the RX frequency band of the satellite antenna 21, such as between 0.42λ1 and 0.46λ1; the total length of the first antenna branch 111, the second antenna branch 112 and the third antenna branch 113 is determined according to the wavelength λ2 corresponding to the TX frequency band of the satellite antenna 21, such as between 0.42λ2 and 0.46λ2, so that the length of the second antenna branch 112 and the third antenna branch 113 can each be half of the remaining length after deducting the length of the first antenna branch 111 from the total length of the three.

[0081] In this way, when the satellite antenna 21 works in the TX state, that is, works in the second working frequency band, the switches SW1 and SW2 on the peripheral device can be controlled to be closed, so that the first antenna branch 111, the second antenna branch 112 and the third antenna branch 113 are used as the steering antenna to produce a steering effect on the satellite antenna 21, and the steering antenna 11 can enhance the gain of the TX frequency band; when the satellite antenna 21 works in the RX state, that is, works in the first working frequency band, the switches SW1 and SW2 on the peripheral device can be controlled to be disconnected, so that the first antenna branch 111 is mainly used as the steering antenna to produce a steering effect on the satellite antenna 21, and the steering antenna 11 can enhance the gain of the RX frequency band. Among them, the TX state can be understood as the satellite antenna 21 working in the second working frequency band, and the RX state can be understood as the satellite antenna 21 working in the first working frequency band.

[0082] It should be noted that due to the parasitic capacitance caused by the segmented guiding antenna 11, the value range of the length L1 of the guiding antenna 11 here can be relaxed, and the recommended size value is 0.42λ-0.75λ, where λ is the equivalent wavelength corresponding to the highest frequency in the satellite operating frequency band, taking into account the dielectric environment, such as λ1 is the equivalent wavelength corresponding to the highest frequency (i.e., 2.2GHz) in the satellite RX frequency band (2.17~2.2GHz), taking into account the dielectric environment.

[0083] In this implementation, by designing a symmetrically centered and adjustable-length directing antenna, both TX and RX of the satellite frequency band can achieve gain enhancement effects.

[0084] Optionally, the directing antenna 11 is an active antenna, and the directing antenna 11 includes a fourth antenna branch 114 and a fifth antenna branch 115, and a first connecting branch and a second connecting branch are provided between the fourth antenna branch 114 and the fifth antenna branch 115, the first connecting branch includes a first component 14 and a third switch SW3 connected in series, and the second connecting branch includes a second component 15 and a fourth switch SW4 connected in series;

[0085] The total length of the fourth antenna branch 114 and the fifth antenna branch 115 is related to the wavelength λ1 corresponding to the first working frequency band of the satellite antenna 21;

[0086] Among them, when the satellite antenna 21 operates in the first operating frequency band, the third switch SW3 is in an open state and the fourth switch SW4 is in a closed state; when the satellite antenna 21 operates in the second operating frequency band, the third switch SW3 is in a closed state and the fourth switch SW4 is in an open state; the second operating frequency band is smaller than the first operating frequency band.

[0087] The purpose of this embodiment is the same Figure 3 and Figure 4 In the second embodiment shown in FIG. 1 , in order to achieve the effect of gain enhancement in both the TX and RX frequency bands of the satellite antenna, it is proposed as follows Figure 5 The directional antenna structure shown in the figure comprises two metal branches, namely the fourth antenna branch 114 and the fifth antenna branch 115, which are connected by switches and devices. Different switch states will result in different device values ​​connected between the two metal branches. Different device values ​​can make the directional antenna 11 reach different equivalent lengths, thereby achieving gain enhancement effects in different frequency bands.

[0088] Specifically, Figure 5 As shown, the fourth antenna branch 114 and the fifth antenna branch 115 can be connected through a first connection branch connected in series with the first component 14 and the switch SW3, and can also be connected through a second connection branch connected in series with the second component 15 and the switch SW4. The switches SW3 and SW4 can be controlled to open and close by a power supply. When the peripheral device leads to the antenna structure 102 and the electronic device body 101 and are installed as a whole, the power supply of the peripheral device can be powered by the electronic device body 101.

[0089] The lengths of the fourth antenna branch 114 and the fifth antenna branch 115 are related to the wavelength λ1 corresponding to the first operating frequency band of the satellite antenna 21, which may mean that the lengths of the fourth antenna branch 114 and the fifth antenna branch 115 are designed according to the wavelength λ1 corresponding to the first operating frequency band of the satellite antenna 21, so that the guiding antenna 11 works in the RX state.

[0090] In specific implementation, it can be designed that when the fourth antenna branch 114 and the fifth antenna branch 115 are connected through the second connecting branch, the guiding antenna 11 works in the RX state, and the length of the guiding antenna 11 is equivalent to the sum of the lengths of the fourth antenna branch 114 and the fifth antenna branch 115; when the fourth antenna branch 114 and the fifth antenna branch 115 are connected through the first connecting branch, the guiding antenna 11 works in the TX state, and the length of the guiding antenna 11 is equivalent to a little longer than the sum of the lengths of the fourth antenna branch 114 and the fifth antenna branch 115; therefore, the lengths of the fourth antenna branch 114 and the fifth antenna branch 115 can be determined according to the wavelength λ1 corresponding to the RX frequency band of the satellite antenna 21, such as between 0.42λ1 and 0.46λ1; the first component 14 can use a small inductor or other device to achieve the effect that the first connecting branch is equivalent to a section of antenna length and the total antenna length is slightly lengthened, and the second component 15 can use a very small resistor or other device to achieve the effect that the second connecting branch is approximately conductive. The lengths of the fourth antenna branch 114 and the fifth antenna branch 115 may be the same or different.

[0091] In this way, when the satellite antenna 21 works in the TX state, that is, works in the second working frequency band, the switch SW3 on the peripheral device can be controlled to be closed and SW4 can be disconnected, so as to introduce the first component 14 between the two antenna branches and lengthen the antenna length. At this time, the antenna 11 can enhance the gain of the TX frequency band; when the satellite antenna 21 works in the RX state, that is, works in the first working frequency band, the switch SW3 on the peripheral device can be controlled to be disconnected and SW4 can be closed, so as to introduce the second component 15 between the two antenna branches. At this time, the antenna 11 can enhance the gain of the RX frequency band. Among them, the TX state can be understood as the satellite antenna 21 working in the second working frequency band, and the RX state can be understood as the satellite antenna 21 working in the first working frequency band.

[0092] This implementation method realizes a directional antenna with adjustable antenna length by designing a device that can switch the connection between two antenna branches, which can achieve the effect of gain enhancement for both TX and RX of the satellite frequency band.

[0093] Optionally, the first component 14 is an inductor, the value of which is less than 10 mH, and the second component 15 is a 0 ohm resistor.

[0094] That is, in some embodiments, the device introduced between the two antenna branches can generally be a small inductor and a 0 ohm resistor. Specifically, the first component 14 is a small inductor, and the value range of the inductor may be different according to the frequency band, generally less than 10nH, and the second component 15 is a 0 ohm resistor. Due to the addition of the device, the length range of the guiding antenna 11 here can be relaxed, and the size value is recommended to be 0.2λ-0.46λ, where λ is the equivalent wavelength corresponding to the lowest frequency in the satellite working frequency band, considering the medium environment, such as λ1 is the equivalent wavelength corresponding to the lowest frequency (i.e., 2.17GHz) in the satellite RX frequency band (2.17~2.2GHz), considering the medium environment.

[0095] This implementation can adjust the length of the guiding antenna 11 by switching different connection branches, thereby achieving the effect of gain enhancement for both TX and RX of the satellite frequency band.

[0096] Optionally, there are a plurality of transverse edges 122 , and the transverse edges 122 are arranged at intervals, and each transverse edge 122 is provided with a directional antenna 11 .

[0097] In some embodiments, in order to further improve the guiding effect on the performance of the satellite antenna, a plurality of guiding antennas 11 may be arranged on the top of the bracket 12, such as Figure 6 As shown, the passive directing antenna 11 can be multiple, such as three as shown in the figure, assuming that they are the directing passive antenna 10, the directing passive antenna 20 and the directing passive antenna 30. The distance D between the directing passive antenna 10 and the satellite antenna 21 is required to be unchanged, that is, between 0.15λ and 0.3λ; the spacing D2 between the directing passive antenna 10 and the directing passive antenna 20, and the spacing D3 between the directing passive antenna 20 and the directing passive antenna 30 need to meet the value of 0.15λ to 0.4λ; the length of the directing passive antenna 20 and the directing passive antenna 30 needs to meet the value of 0.42λ to 0.46λ.

[0098] Optionally, the distance between the first position and the top of the device body 101 is less than 0.08λ.

[0099] The distance between the first position and the top of the device body 101 is Figure 2 The S shown in FIG. 1 is less than 0.08λ.

[0100] In some embodiments, the length of the satellite antenna 21 is equal to half of the wavelength λ corresponding to the working frequency band of the satellite antenna 21 .

[0101] The electronic device in the embodiment of the present application includes a device body and a steering antenna structure, wherein the steering antenna structure includes: a steering antenna, a bracket, a rotating structure and a satellite antenna arranged on the top of the device body; wherein the bracket includes two opposite side edges and a horizontal edge connected between the two side edges, the endpoints of the two side edges are respectively movably connected to one of the rotating structures, the bracket is installed at the first position of the opposite two side edges of the device body through the rotating structure, and the steering antenna is arranged on the horizontal edge; the length of the steering antenna is less than half of the wavelength λ corresponding to the working frequency band of the satellite antenna, and the distance between the steering antenna and the satellite antenna is between 0.15λ and 0.3λ. In this way, by designing a steering antenna structure that can be installed on an electronic device as an external device, and rationally arranging the length of the steering antenna and the distance from the satellite antenna, it is possible to enhance the gain and directivity of the satellite antenna of the electronic device in the steering direction through the steering antenna structure, thereby improving the satellite antenna performance of the electronic device.

[0102] See also Figure 7 , Figure 7 The flowchart of the antenna enhancement method provided in the embodiment of the present application is executed by an electronic device, and the electronic device is the electronic device described in the above embodiment, such as Figure 7 As shown, the method comprises the following steps:

[0103] Step 701: Obtain the angle value of the directional antenna structure relative to the device body, and obtain the posture data of the electronic device.

[0104] In an embodiment of the present application, the current better or optimal radiation direction can also be comprehensively determined by detecting the angle between the steering antenna structure and the device body, as well as the posture of the electronic device, and then outputting corresponding guidance information to guide the user to adjust the posture of the electronic device to face this direction, thereby achieving the purpose of improving the satellite communication performance of the electronic device in various postures.

[0105] Specifically, the hardware topology relationship between the antenna structure and electronic devices such as mobile phones is Figure 8 As shown. The steering antenna structure includes a steering antenna and a mounting structure, and the mounting structure is also a rotating structure in the steering antenna structure. The device body includes an angle detection part, a posture detection part and a mounting structure, etc. The mounting structure of the steering antenna structure and the mounting structure of the device body can allow the steering antenna structure and the device body to be combined together, and the steering antenna structure and the device body can be rotated. The angle detection part in the electronic device body can determine and output the angle θ between the steering antenna structure bracket and the device body by detecting the positional relationship between the steering antenna structure mounting structure and the device body mounting structure; the posture detection part realizes the posture of the current electronic device through the built-in sensor of the electronic device, such as the inclination and orientation of the mobile phone.

[0106] The change in the positional relationship between the guiding antenna structure and the electronic device can enhance the gain of the satellite antenna in a certain direction, and by outputting guiding information such as through the electronic device UI, the user is reminded to use this direction to align with the satellite and satellite communication, thereby achieving a good communication effect. The specific implementation steps of the embodiment of this application are introduced below:

[0107] In step 701, the electronic device can first detect the angle θ of the steering antenna structure relative to the device body through the angle detection part to obtain the angle value of the steering antenna structure relative to the device body. At the same time, the electronic device can also detect the posture through the posture detection part to obtain the posture data of the electronic device, including the device inclination and azimuth.

[0108] Step 702: Determine the target radiation direction of the electronic device according to the angle value.

[0109] In this step, the electronic device may determine the target radiation direction of the electronic device according to the detected angle value. The target radiation direction may be understood as the optimal radiation direction of the electronic device itself.

[0110] In specific implementation, there is a one-to-one correspondence between the angle θ and the optimal radiation direction or it can be mapped by a formula, so that the optimal radiation direction of the electronic device and the peripheral as a whole under the current angle value can be obtained by looking up a table or calculating with a formula. For example, a coordinate system can be established for the electronic device, such as a spherical coordinate system [Theta, Phi, r] on the electronic device, where Theta is the offset angle relative to the z-axis, Phi is the angle relative to the horizontal plane formed by the x-axis and the y-axis, and r is the radiation radius. Then the radiation direction corresponding to each angle θ can be expressed as a coordinate [Theta, Phi], and this coordinate represents the radiation direction. For example, when the angle θ is θ1, it has a corresponding radiation direction [Theta1, Phi1]; when the angle θ is θ2, it has a corresponding radiation direction [Theta2, Phi2]..., this correspondence can be established as a comparison table, and the optimal radiation direction corresponding to the current angle value can be obtained by looking up the table later, or it can be fitted into a calculation formula, and the optimal radiation direction corresponding to the current angle value can be obtained by calculating the formula later.

[0111] Step 703: Determine attitude adjustment information of the electronic device according to the target radiation direction, the attitude data and satellite ephemeris information.

[0112] Electronic devices can determine the location of satellites based on satellite ephemeris information, and combined with their own positioning, they can determine the direction of the satellite relative to the electronic device.

[0113] In this way, the electronic device can combine the previously determined optimal radiation direction, the attitude data and the satellite's position information to determine the attitude information that needs to be adjusted to make the electronic device's optimal radiation direction point toward the satellite's direction, that is, the attitude adjustment information of the electronic device, which may specifically be the direction to which the electronic device is adjusted and the inclination angle to which it is adjusted.

[0114] Step 704: outputting attitude adjustment guidance information according to the attitude adjustment information, wherein the attitude adjustment guidance information is used to guide the user to adjust the attitude of the device body and / or the guidance antenna structure to enhance the satellite communication performance of the electronic device.

[0115] In this step, corresponding guidance information can be generated and output according to the posture adjustment information. Specifically, it can be in the form of a UI interface pattern or animation, such as guiding the user to adjust the device posture in a UI gesture-guided manner. Specifically, it can be guiding the user to adjust the posture of the electronic device body itself, or it can be guiding the user to adjust the angle posture of the antenna structure relative to the electronic device body. It can also be a combination of the two. Ultimately, after guiding the user to adjust, the satellite communication performance of the electronic device can be enhanced.

[0116] Optionally, step 703 includes:

[0117] Determining compensation angle information according to the target radiation direction, the attitude data and the satellite ephemeris information, wherein the compensation angle information includes an inclination value and an azimuth value to be adjusted;

[0118] The posture adjustment information includes the compensation angle information, and the posture adjustment guide information is used to guide the user to adjust the posture of the device body according to the compensation angle information.

[0119] In one implementation, a compensation angle required to make the optimal radiation direction face the direction of the satellite can be calculated, and based on the compensation angle, the user is guided to achieve the goal by simply adjusting the posture of the device body.

[0120] The specific method flow can be as follows Figure 9aAs shown, taking a mobile phone as an example, after detecting the angle and the posture of the mobile phone, the user is guided to adjust the posture of the mobile phone. During the process, the user is not guided to adjust the angle, that is, the guiding antenna structure is not adjusted. The specific steps are as follows: ① First, the mobile phone detects the current angle θ through the angle detection part, and obtains the optimal radiation direction of the mobile phone + guiding antenna structure under the current angle by looking up the table or calculating; ② Then, combined with the result of the current mobile phone posture detected by the mobile phone posture detection part, calculate the angle that needs to be adjusted to make the best radiation direction align with the satellite, that is, the compensation angle, including the mobile phone inclination angle and mobile phone azimuth angle that need to be adjusted; ③ Finally, the compensation angle is displayed through the UI in the form of a pattern or animation to guide the user to adjust the posture of the mobile phone so that the final compensation angle is 0, that is, the best radiation direction is aligned with the satellite.

[0121] In this implementation, by guiding the user to adjust the posture of the electronic device body, the best radiation direction can be aligned with the satellite, thereby improving the satellite communication performance.

[0122] Optionally, step 703 includes:

[0123] The step of determining the attitude adjustment information of the electronic device according to the target radiation direction, the attitude data and the satellite ephemeris information includes:

[0124] Determining compensation angle information according to the target radiation direction, the attitude data and the satellite ephemeris information, wherein the compensation angle information includes an inclination value and an azimuth value to be adjusted;

[0125] Determining whether adjusting the angle between the steering antenna structure and the device body can reduce the compensation angle information;

[0126] If yes, determining first posture adjustment information for the steering antenna structure; otherwise, determining the compensation angle information as second posture adjustment information for the electronic device;

[0127] Outputting posture adjustment guidance information according to the posture adjustment information includes at least one of the following:

[0128] Outputting first posture adjustment guide information according to the first posture adjustment information, wherein the first posture adjustment guide information is used to guide the user to rotate the steering antenna structure according to the first posture adjustment information to adjust the angle; returning to the steps of obtaining the angle value of the steering antenna structure relative to the device body and obtaining the posture data of the electronic device;

[0129] Second posture adjustment guide information is output according to the second posture adjustment information, wherein the second posture adjustment guide information is used to guide the user to adjust the posture of the device body according to the compensation angle information.

[0130] In another embodiment, the compensation angle required to make the best radiation direction point toward the direction of the satellite can be calculated, and based on the compensation angle, the user can be guided to adjust the angle between the antenna structure and the device body, and then adjust the posture of the electronic device to achieve it.

[0131] The specific method flow can be as follows Figure 9b As shown, taking a mobile phone as an example, after detecting the angle and the posture of the mobile phone, it is first determined whether changing the steering antenna structure and the angle θ of the mobile phone can help align with the satellite. If so, the user is guided to adjust the angle, and then adjust the posture of the mobile phone to finally align with the satellite. The specific steps are as follows: ① First, the mobile phone detects the current angle θ through the angle detection part, and obtains the optimal radiation direction of the mobile phone + guiding antenna structure under the current angle by looking up the table or calculating; ② Then, combined with the result of the current mobile phone posture detected by the mobile phone posture detection part, calculate the angle that needs to be adjusted to make the optimal radiation direction align with the satellite, that is, the compensation angle; ③ Then determine whether adjusting the angle θ between the peripheral and the mobile phone can reduce the compensation angle, that is, determine whether the compensation angle can be reduced by increasing the angle θ or reducing the angle θ. Specifically, the adjustment direction of the angle θ can be calculated through coordinate conversion and spatial geometric relationships. If so, then guide the user to adjust the angle θ through the UI, and start from step ① after the user adjusts the angle θ. If not, proceed to the next step; ④ Display this compensation angle through the UI in the form of a pattern or animation to guide the user to adjust the posture of the mobile phone so that the final compensation angle is 0, that is, the optimal radiation direction is aligned with the satellite.

[0132] In this implementation, by guiding the user to adjust the posture of the antenna structure and the posture of the device body, the best radiation direction can be aligned with the satellite, thereby improving the satellite communication performance.
