Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of mobile phone technology, and in particular to a method, apparatus, electronic device and storage medium for terminal control. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of communication technology, many mobile terminals (such as mobile phones) have dual SIM dual standby functionality. Dual SIM dual standby means that two Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) cards are installed in one mobile phone at the same time, and both SIM cards can be online and on standby simultaneously.

[0003] Currently, Dual SIM Dual Active (DSDA) technology has been applied to mobile phones supporting Dual SIM Dual Standby (DSDS) with dual receiver and single transmitter. However, when the terminal is connected to the DSDS band, a paging conflict can occur in scenarios where SIM 1 is transmitting voice data while SIM 2 can receive paging requests. This can negatively impact the voice communication quality of SIM 1. Therefore, a paging protection timer is typically used to disable the Internet PDN (Packet Data Network) used by SIM 2 for paging.

[0004] However, in a DSDA scenario, if SIM card 2 receives a paging message, no paging conflict will occur because the radio frequency resources support simultaneous transmission and reception for both cards. Therefore, if this method is still used when the terminal switches its current frequency band from the DSDS band to the DSDA band, SIM card 2 will not receive the paging message in time, resulting in missed calls on SIM card 2 and abnormal communication on the mobile terminal. Summary of the Invention

[0024] The first determining module is configured to, when determining that the network mode of the terminal device is DSDS mode, if the first user identification card is in a non-idle state, set the terminal device to a first state, the first state indicating that the terminal device stops responding to the paging request of the second user identification card.

[0025] The second determining module is configured to switch the terminal device from the first state to the second state when it is determined that the network mode of the terminal device has switched from DSDS mode to DSDA mode. The second state indicates that the terminal device is responding to the paging request of the second user identification card.

[0042] When the network mode of the terminal device is determined to be DSDS mode, if the first user identification card is not idle, the terminal device is set to a first state, indicating that the terminal device stops responding to the paging request of the second user identification card. When the network mode of the terminal device is determined to switch from DSDS mode to DSDA mode, the terminal device is switched from the first state to a second state, indicating that the terminal device responds to the paging request of the second user identification card. This allows the terminal device to stop its first state and switch to the second state when its current frequency band switches from DSDS to DSDA. The first state indicates that the terminal device stops responding to the paging request of the second user identification card, and the second state indicates that the terminal device responds to the paging request of the second user identification card. This prevents the SIM card 2 from missing calls in DSDA scenarios, thus improving the communication quality of the mobile terminal.

[0055] Figure 11 This is a block diagram illustrating a device for terminal control according to an exemplary embodiment. Detailed Implementation

[0056] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numerals in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0057] It should be noted that all actions involving the acquisition of signals, information, or data in this disclosure are carried out in compliance with the relevant data protection laws and policies of the country where the location is situated, and with authorization from the owner of the relevant device.

[0058] Before detailing the specific implementation methods of this disclosure, the application scenarios of this disclosure will first be explained. This disclosure can be applied to mobile terminals based on dual SIM dual standby switching scenarios. With the development of communication technology, many mobile terminals (such as mobile phones) have dual SIM dual standby functionality. Dual SIM dual standby refers to a mobile phone having two Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) cards installed simultaneously, and both SIM cards can be online and in standby mode at the same time. Currently, Dual SIM Dual Active (DSDA) technology has been applied to mobile phones that support dual receive and single transmit dual SIM Dual Standby (DSDS).

[0059] Among them, such as Figure 1 As shown, a mobile phone supporting DSDS mode is configured with only one radio frequency transmit (Tx) path and two radio frequency receive (Rx) paths. When SIM card 1 transmits voice data, SIM card 2 can receive paging requests. After SIM card 2 receives the paging request, the mobile phone supporting DSDS mode can respond to the paging request by sending Radio Resource Control (RRC) signaling to the network device in order to establish an RRC connection with the network device and execute the service corresponding to the paging request.

[0060] However, in a DSDS scenario, where SIM card 2 can receive paging requests while SIM card 1 is transmitting voice data, if the DSDS-enabled phone responds to the paging request and occupies the RF Tx path to send RRC signaling to the network device, the RRC signaling will occupy the RF Tx path, causing a delay in the transmission of voice packets from SIM card 1, affecting the voice communication quality of SIM card 1. This can lead to paging conflicts, further impacting the voice communication quality of SIM card 1. Therefore, a paging protection timer is typically used to disable the Internet PDN (Packet Data Network) used by SIM card 2 for paging to prevent conflicts.

[0061] However, as Figure 2 As shown, in a DSDA scenario, if SIM card 2 receives a paging message, no paging conflict will occur because the radio frequency resources support simultaneous transmission and reception for both cards. Therefore, if the terminal switches its current frequency band from the DSDS band to the DSDA band and continues to use the paging protection timer, SIM card 2 will not receive the paging message in time. This will result in SIM card 2 missing calls and causing abnormal communication on the mobile terminal.

[0062] To overcome the technical problems existing in the above-mentioned related technologies, this disclosure provides a terminal control method, apparatus, electronic device, and storage medium. The method, when determining that the network mode of the terminal device is DSDS mode, if the first user identification card is in a non-idle state, sets the terminal device to a first state, which indicates that the terminal device stops responding to paging requests from the second user identification card; when determining that the network mode of the terminal device switches from DSDS mode to DSDA mode, the terminal device switches from the first state to a second state, which indicates that the terminal device responds to paging requests from the second user identification card. This allows the terminal device to stop its first state and switch to the second state when its current frequency band switches from the DSDS band to the DSDA band. The first state indicates that the terminal device stops responding to paging requests from the second user identification card, and the second state indicates that the terminal device responds to paging requests from the second user identification card. This prevents the SIM card 2 from missing calls in DSDA scenarios, thus improving the communication quality of the mobile terminal.

[0063] The present disclosure will now be described in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0064] Figure 3This is a flowchart illustrating a task processing method according to an exemplary embodiment, such as... Figure 3 As shown, this method can be applied to a terminal device, which may include a first user identification card and a second user identification card. The electronic device may include a mobile phone, laptop, desktop computer, vehicle terminal, smart home appliance, etc. The task processing method of this disclosure embodiment can be executed by the task processing device of this disclosure embodiment. The task processing device of this disclosure embodiment can be configured in any electronic device to execute the task processing method of this disclosure embodiment. The method includes the following steps.

[0065] In step S11, if the network mode of the terminal device is determined to be DSDS mode, and the first user identification card is in a non-idle state, then the terminal device is set to the first state.

[0066] The first state indicates that the terminal device stops responding to the paging request of the second user identification card. The user identification card may include a SIM card, a USIM card, a UICC card, and an eSIM card, etc. This disclosure does not limit the types of cards. In the following embodiments of this disclosure, a SIM card can be used as an example for illustration.

[0067] In this embodiment, the terminal device can support both DSDS and DSA network modes, and can install two user identification cards (SIM card 1 and SIM card 2). The terminal device is configured with two radio frequency transmission (Tx) paths and one radio frequency reception (Rx) path. In the DSDS scenario, SIM card 1 and SIM card 2 can each occupy one of the two Tx paths and time-sharingly occupy one of the two Rx paths. In the DSDA scenario, SIM card 1 and SIM card 2 can each occupy one of the two Tx paths and one of the two Rx paths.

[0068] In this embodiment, the first user identification card being in a non-idle state indicates that the terminal device is using the SIM card 1 to conduct business activities, such as when the terminal device is using the SIM card 1 to make a voice call. In this case, the first user identification card can be considered to be in a non-idle state, and the terminal device can be set to the first state.

[0069] Optionally, the first state is that the terminal device stops responding to the paging request of the second user identification card. In some embodiments, the terminal device may enable a protection timer, wherein the protection timer is used to record a preset protection duration, and the preset protection duration is used to instruct the terminal device to stop responding to the paging request of the second user identification card within the preset protection duration.

[0070] For example, when the terminal is in DSDS mode and it is determined that the SIM card 1 of the terminal device is in a voice call scenario, a protection timer can be activated. When the protection timer is activated, the terminal device can control the SIM card 2 to stop receiving paging requests.

[0071] For example, considering that when the terminal is in DSDS mode, and it is determined that the terminal device is using one radio frequency transmit (Tx) path and one radio frequency receive (Rx) path in a voice call scenario related to SIM card 1, if the terminal device receives a paging request for SIM card 2 using the other radio frequency receive (Rx) path, it will occupy the radio frequency Tx path to send RRC signaling to the network device in response to the paging request. As a result, the voice packets of SIM card 1 to be sent by the DSDS-enabled mobile phone will be delayed due to the RRC signaling occupying the radio frequency Tx path, thus affecting the voice communication quality of SIM card 1.

[0072] Therefore, when it is determined that the terminal device is using one radio frequency transmission (Tx) path and one radio frequency reception (Rx) path in a voice call scenario related to SIM card 1, if the terminal device receives a paging request for SIM card 2 using the other radio frequency reception (Rx) path, the terminal device will control the activation of a protection timer. When the protection timer is activated, the terminal device can control SIM card 2 to stop receiving paging requests based on SIM card 2 using the other radio frequency reception (Rx) path.

[0073] In step S12, if it is determined that the network mode of the terminal device has switched from DSDS mode to DSDA mode, the terminal device is switched from the first state to the second state.

[0074] The second state indicates that the terminal device is responding to the paging request of the second user identification card.

[0075] Considering that in related technologies, when the network mode of the terminal device switches from DSDS mode to DSDA mode, the protection timer is usually still on. However, in the DSDA scenario, if SIM card 2 receives a paging message, since the radio frequency resources support simultaneous transmission and reception of both cards, there will be no paging conflict. This will cause the terminal device's SIM card 2 to fail to receive the paging message in time, resulting in SIM card 2 missing calls and causing abnormal communication of the mobile terminal device.

[0076] In this embodiment, it can be first determined whether the network mode of the terminal device has switched from DSDS mode to DSDA mode. If it is determined that the network mode has switched to DSDA mode, the terminal device can be switched from the first state to the second state.

[0077] Optionally, the second state indicates that the terminal device is responding to the paging request of the second user identification card. In some embodiments, the protection timer can be switched from an on state to a off state. This avoids stopping the response to the paging request of the second user identification card.

[0078] For example, when the terminal switches from DSDS mode to DSDA mode, the terminal device can switch the protection timer from the on state to the off state. In this way, when the protection timer is off, the terminal device can control SIM card 2 to start receiving paging requests.

[0079] For example, considering that when the terminal is in DSDA mode, and it is determined that the terminal device is using one radio frequency transmit (Tx) path and one radio frequency receive (Rx) path in a voice call scenario related to SIM card 1, if the protection timer is enabled, the terminal device cannot use the other radio frequency receive (Rx) path to receive the paging request for SIM card 2. Consequently, SIM card 2 of the terminal device cannot occupy the other radio frequency Tx path to send RRC signaling to the network device, resulting in SIM card 2 missing calls and affecting the communication quality of the mobile terminal.

[0080] Therefore, when it is determined that the terminal device is using one radio frequency transmit (Tx) path and one radio frequency receive (Rx) path in a voice call scenario related to SIM card 1, the protection timer can be switched from the on state to the off state. In this way, if the terminal device receives a paging request for SIM card 2 using the other radio frequency receive (Rx) path, SIM card 2 of the terminal device can occupy the other radio frequency Tx path to send RRC signaling to the network device, which can prevent SIM card 2 from missing calls and improve the communication quality of the mobile terminal.

[0081] By adopting the above technical solution, when the network mode of the terminal device is determined to be DSDS mode, if the first SIM card is not idle, the terminal device is set to a first state, which indicates that the terminal device stops responding to the paging request of the second SIM card. When the network mode of the terminal device is determined to switch from DSDS mode to DSDA mode, the terminal device is switched from the first state to a second state, which indicates that the terminal device responds to the paging request of the second SIM card. In this way, when the terminal's current frequency band switches from the DSDS band to the DSDA band, the first state of the terminal device is stopped and the second state is switched. The first state indicates that the terminal device stops responding to the paging request of the second SIM card, and the second state indicates that the terminal device responds to the paging request of the second SIM card. In this way, in the DSDA scenario, the terminal can avoid the situation where the paging of SIM card 2 is not received in time, resulting in missed calls due to SIM card 2, thus improving the communication quality of the mobile terminal.

[0082] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the method also includes the following steps.

[0083] In step S13, if the network mode of the terminal device is determined to be DSDS mode, and the preset protection duration is greater than or equal to the preset protection duration threshold, the terminal device is controlled to release the transmission link.

[0084] The transmission link is the link established between the terminal device and the network device in this DSDS mode.

[0085] In this embodiment, the preset protection duration of the protection timer can be a pre-set value or a set of numbers that increase according to a preset rule. For example, the preset protection duration of the protection timer can be set to 2s, or the preset protection duration of the protection timer can be set to [2s, 3s, 4s, 5s, ... ns].

[0086] In one possible implementation, the preset protection duration of the protection timer can be initially set to 2 seconds. Before the preset protection duration expires, it is determined whether one radio frequency reception (Rx) channel of the SIM card 2 of the terminal device receives paging. If it is determined that paging has been received, the next preset protection duration can be set to 3 seconds. The preset protection duration is then stopped from increasing when it is determined that paging is no longer received.

[0087] In another possible implementation, if the preset protection duration is greater than or equal to a preset protection duration threshold, the terminal device can be controlled to release the connection established with the network device.

[0088] By adopting the above technical solution, when the terminal device is in DSDS mode, the connection established between SIM card 2 and the network device can be directly released when paging is continuously received on one radio frequency reception (Rx) path of SIM card 2. This can prevent SIM card 2 from responding to the paging request and causing it to occupy the radio frequency Tx path to send RRC signaling to the network device. This prevents the problem of delayed transmission of voice packets from SIM card 1 to be sent by DSDS-enabled mobile phones, and effectively ensures the voice communication quality of SIM card 1.

[0089] It should be noted that, in one possible implementation of this application, the paging request received by the SIM card 2 can also be a paging request in a Long Term Evolution (LTE) network. After the terminal device receives the paging request from the LTE network carrying the voice service identifier, it can determine that the paging request is for requesting VoLTE voice service. Then, the terminal device can establish a Radio Resource Control (RRC) connection with the radio access network device, and after establishing the RRC connection, it can interact with the radio access network device using Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) signaling.

[0090] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, step S11 above may include the following steps.

[0091] In step S111, the first frequency band currently in operation of the terminal device and the second frequency band range supported by the DSDS mode are obtained.

[0092] For example, if the terminal device is connected to the network device, the first frequency band currently in operation of the terminal device and the second frequency band range supported by the terminal device in the DSDS mode can be obtained first.

[0093] In step S112, if it is determined that the first frequency band is within the range of the second frequency band, the network mode of the terminal device is determined to be DSDS mode.

[0094] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, step S12 above may include the following steps.

[0095] In step S121, the range of the third frequency band supported by the DSDA mode is obtained.

[0096] In step S122, based on the first frequency band and the third frequency band range, the network mode of the terminal device is determined to switch from DSDS mode to DSDA mode.

[0097] Optionally, if it is determined that the first frequency band is switched from the second frequency band range to the third frequency band range, the network mode of the terminal device is determined to be switched from DSDS mode to DSDA mode.

[0098] By adopting the above technical solution, it is possible to determine whether the network mode of the terminal device is DSDS mode and whether the network mode of the terminal device has been switched from DSDS mode to DSDA mode, based on the first frequency band currently in operation of the terminal device, the second frequency band range supported by the DSDS mode, and the third frequency band range supported by the DSDA mode.

[0099] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 As shown in the embodiments of this application, the method for implementing terminal control includes the following steps.

[0100] In step S201, the first frequency band currently in operation of the terminal device, the second frequency band range supported by the DSDS mode, and the third frequency band range supported by the DSDA mode are obtained.

[0101] If it is determined that the first frequency band is within the range of the second frequency band, proceed with steps S202-S204;

[0102] If it is determined that the first frequency band has switched from the second frequency band range to the third frequency band range, then steps S204-S206 are executed.

[0103] In step S202, the network mode of the terminal device is determined to be DSDS mode.

[0104] In step S203, the protection timer is started.

[0105] The protection timer is used to record a preset protection duration, which is used to instruct the terminal device to stop responding to the paging request of the second user identification card within the preset protection duration.

[0106] In step S204, if the preset protection duration is greater than or equal to the preset protection duration threshold, the terminal device is controlled to release the transmission link.

[0107] The transmission link is the link established between the terminal device and the network device in this DSDS mode.

[0108] In step S205, it is determined that the network mode of the terminal device is switched from DSDS mode to DSDA mode.

[0109] In step S206, the protection timer is switched from the on state to the off state.

[0110] When the network mode of the terminal device is determined to be DSDS mode, if the first SIM card is not idle, the terminal device is set to a first state, which indicates that the terminal device stops responding to the paging request of the second SIM card. When the network mode of the terminal device is determined to switch from DSDS mode to DSDA mode, the terminal device is switched from the first state to a second state, which indicates that the terminal device responds to the paging request of the second SIM card. This allows the terminal device to stop its first state and switch to the second state when its current frequency band switches from DSDS to DSDA. The first state indicates that the terminal device stops responding to the paging request of the second SIM card, while the second state indicates that the terminal device responds to the paging request of the second SIM card. This prevents the SIM card 2 from missing calls in DSDA scenarios, thus improving the communication quality of the mobile terminal.

[0111] Figure 8 This is a block diagram illustrating a terminal control device 800 according to an exemplary embodiment. (Refer to...) Figure 8 The device includes a first determining module 801 and a second determining module 802.

[0112] The first determining module 801 is configured to, when determining that the network mode of the terminal device is DSDS mode, if the first user identification card is in a non-idle state, set the terminal device to a first state, the first state indicating that the terminal device stops responding to the paging request of the second user identification card.

[0113] The second determining module 802 is configured to switch the terminal device from the first state to the second state when it is determined that the network mode of the terminal device has switched from DSDS mode to DSDA mode. The second state indicates that the terminal device is responding to the paging request of the second user identification card.

[0114] Optionally, the first determining module 801 is configured to enable a protection timer, which records a preset protection duration. The preset protection duration is used to instruct the terminal device to stop responding to the paging request of the second user identification card within the preset protection duration.

[0115] Optionally, the first determining module 801 is further configured to, when determining that the network mode of the terminal device is DSDS mode, if the preset protection duration is greater than or equal to the preset protection duration threshold, control the terminal device to release the transmission link, which is the link established between the terminal device and the network device in the DSDS mode.

[0116] Optionally, the second determining module 802 is configured to switch the protection timer from an on state to a off state.

[0117] Figure 9 It is based on Figure 8 The illustrated embodiment shows a block diagram of a first determining module, with reference to... Figure 9 The first determining module 801 includes:

[0118] The first acquisition submodule 8011 is configured to acquire the first frequency band currently operating on the terminal device, and the second frequency band range supported by the DSDS mode;

[0119] The first determining submodule 8012 is configured to determine the network mode of the terminal device as DSDS mode when it is determined that the first frequency band is within the range of the second frequency band.

[0120] Figure 10 It is based on Figure 8 The illustrated embodiment shows a block diagram of a second determining module, with reference to... Figure 10 The second determining module 802 includes:

[0121] The second acquisition submodule 8021 is configured to acquire the third frequency band range supported by the DSDA mode;

[0122] The second determining submodule 8022 is configured to determine, based on the first frequency band and the third frequency band range, whether the network mode of the terminal device is switched from DSDS mode to DSDA mode.

[0123] Optionally, the second determining submodule 8022 is configured to determine that the network mode of the terminal device is switched from DSDS mode to DSDA mode when it is determined that the first frequency band has switched from the second frequency band range to the third frequency band range.

[0124] By adopting the above technical solution, when the terminal switches from the DSDS band to the DSDA band, the first state of the terminal device can be stopped and the first state can be switched to the second state. The first state indicates that the terminal device stops responding to the paging request of the second user identification card, and the second state indicates that the terminal device responds to the paging request of the second user identification card.
