Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to an interface display method and related equipment. Background Art

[0002] With the development of terminal technology, electronic devices have become more and more versatile, and can be configured with functions such as calls and text messages. In some emergency scenarios, users often need to contact the outside world through electronic devices, for example, to inform the other party of their location, so that they can get help in time.

[0003] For some people who are in the wilderness (for example, deserts, forests, etc.) or at sea, since these scenes are far away from the operator's base station, their electronic devices cannot contact the outside world through the operator's mobile communication network. Generally, they need to use a special satellite phone to contact the outside world.

[0004] Traditional satellite phones are bulky, inconvenient to carry and expensive. If electronic devices can support satellite communication functions (for example, satellite calls, satellite text messages, etc.), users can use the satellite communication function of electronic devices to contact the outside world when they encounter an emergency and there is no operator's mobile communication network.

[0005] Configuring an interface interaction method corresponding to the satellite communication function in an electronic device so that a user can use the satellite call and / or satellite text message function through the electronic device has become a major problem to be solved. Summary of the invention

[0006] In view of this, it is necessary to provide an interface display method to solve the problem that the electronic device in the prior art does not have an interface interaction method corresponding to the satellite communication function.

[0007] A first aspect of an embodiment of the present application discloses an interface display method, comprising: in a situation where an electronic device cannot access a mobile communication network, in response to a user clicking an operation on a first icon in a first page displayed by the electronic device, opening a first window, the first window including a first option for connecting to a satellite; in response to a user clicking an operation on the first option, establishing a communication connection with the satellite, and executing a service corresponding to the first icon.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the service corresponding to the first icon may include a satellite telephone service or a satellite text message service, and the first icon in the first page may be a dialing icon in a dialing interface or a send button in a text message sending interface. When the electronic device cannot access the mobile communication network, the electronic device may respond to the user's click operation on the first icon in the first page displayed by the electronic device, and open a first window for guiding the user to establish a connection between the electronic device and the satellite. After the electronic device successfully establishes a communication connection with the satellite, a satellite call or a satellite text message may be sent based on the satellite communication function, thereby enabling the electronic device to quickly use the satellite call and / or satellite text message function in response to the user's operation, thereby reducing the operational complexity of the user's making a satellite call / sending a satellite text message and improving the user's usage experience.

[0009] In one possible implementation, the first page is a dialing interface, and in response to a user clicking a first icon in the first page displayed by the electronic device, a first window is opened, including: in response to a user clicking a first icon in the dialing interface displayed by the electronic device, a call interface is displayed, and the first window is opened, and the first window covers part of the content of the call interface.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, when the electronic device cannot access the mobile communication network, after the user clicks the first icon (dial icon) in the dialing interface, the electronic device can display the call interface and open a first window for guiding the user to establish a connection between the electronic device and the satellite. The first window covers part of the content of the call interface. The user can click the first option for connecting to the satellite in the first window so that the electronic device can try to establish a communication connection with the satellite. After the electronic device successfully establishes a communication connection with the satellite, the electronic device can conduct a satellite call with the called party based on the satellite communication function.

[0011] In a possible implementation, the call interface displays prompt information about the estimated call time that the remaining power of the electronic device can support.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, users usually use the satellite communication function of electronic devices in more emergency scenarios. In such scenarios, the power of electronic devices is relatively precious. By displaying the prompt information of the estimated call time that the remaining power of the electronic device can support on the call interface, users can be reminded to conserve power, reasonably plan call time, and increase the possibility of users being successfully rescued in emergency scenarios.

[0013] In one possible implementation, when the remaining power of the electronic device is greater than a preset power level, prompt information of the estimated call time that the remaining power of the electronic device can support is displayed on the call interface in a first display mode; when the remaining power of the electronic device is less than or equal to the preset power level, prompt information of the estimated call time that the remaining power of the electronic device can support is displayed on the call interface in a second display mode that is different from the first display mode.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, for different remaining power levels, the urgency of the user's planning of talk time is different. In the case of more power and less power, the prompt information of the estimated talk time that the remaining power can support is output in different forms, so that the user can plan the talk time with different planning strategies according to the prompt information in different forms. For example, when the preset power level is 20%, the first display mode is that after entering the call interface, a prompt information of the estimated satellite talk time that the current power can support appears once, and the prompt information disappears after being displayed for a preset time. The second display mode is that when entering the call interface, the prompt information of the estimated satellite talk time that the current power can support is displayed in a continuously flashing manner.

[0015] In a possible implementation, the electronic device is installed with a first SIM card and a second SIM card, and the dialing interface includes a first dialing icon corresponding to the first SIM card and a second dialing icon corresponding to the second SIM card. When the electronic device establishes a communication connection with a satellite based on the first SIM card and re-enters the dialing interface, the dialing interface only displays the first dialing icon corresponding to the first SIM card; when the electronic device establishes a communication connection with a satellite based on the second SIM card and re-enters the dialing interface, the dialing interface only displays the second dialing icon corresponding to the second SIM card.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, when the electronic device has not established a communication connection with the satellite and the electronic device is installed with the first SIM card and the second SIM card, the dialing interface can display a first dialing icon corresponding to the first SIM card and a second dialing icon corresponding to the second SIM card, so that the user can use the first SIM card or the second SIM card to make a call. When the electronic device has established a communication connection with the satellite and the electronic device is installed with the first SIM card and the second SIM card, the dialing interface can only display the dialing icon corresponding to the SIM card used to establish the satellite communication connection, so that the user can make a satellite call. Compared with the solution of still displaying two dialing icons when the communication connection is established with the satellite, the situation in which the user cannot initiate a satellite call by clicking another dialing icon can be avoided.

[0017] In one possible implementation, the first page is a text message conversation interface, and in response to a user clicking a first icon in the first page displayed by the electronic device, a first window is opened, including: in response to a user clicking a first icon in the text message conversation interface displayed by the electronic device, a first window is opened, and the first window covers part of the content of the text message conversation interface.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, when the electronic device cannot access the mobile communication network, the user edits the content of the text message to be sent, and clicks the first icon (send button) in the text message conversation interface. The electronic device can open a first window for guiding the user to establish a connection between the electronic device and the satellite. The first window covers part of the content of the text message conversation interface. The user can click the first option for connecting to the satellite in the first window so that the electronic device can try to establish a communication connection with the satellite. After the electronic device successfully establishes a communication connection with the satellite, the electronic device can send the text message content based on the satellite communication function.

[0019] In one possible implementation, when the electronic device cannot access a mobile communication network, a first window is opened in response to a user clicking on a first icon in a first page displayed by the electronic device, including: when the electronic device detects that it is in an outdoor location and cannot access a mobile communication network, a first window is opened in response to a user clicking on a first icon in a first page displayed by the electronic device.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, since there may be no operator mobile communication network in indoor environments (for example, low parking lots, basements, etc.), in this case, due to the obstruction of satellite signals by buildings, electronic devices generally cannot establish a connection with the satellite, and this situation generally does not belong to a scenario requiring rescue. It can be set that when the user makes a call or sends a text message, the premise for actively guiding the user to establish a connection between the electronic device and the satellite includes detecting that the electronic device is currently outdoors rather than indoors.

[0021] In a possible implementation, after executing the service corresponding to the first icon, the interface display method further includes: opening a second window, the second window including a second option for turning on the power saving mode; and turning on the power saving mode in response to a user clicking the second option.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, since the usage scenarios of satellite phones or satellite text messages are generally when users are in extreme environments and want to get in touch with the outside world, the power of electronic devices is relatively precious. In order to increase the possibility of successful rescue of users, after the electronic device detects that the service corresponding to the first icon is executed based on the satellite communication function (a satellite call has been made or a satellite text message has been sent), for example, after the satellite call is ended or the satellite text message is sent, the electronic device can automatically open a second window to prompt the user whether to turn on the power saving mode. The user can click the second option in the second window to quickly turn on the power saving mode.

[0023] In one possible implementation, in response to a user clicking on a first option, a communication connection is established with a satellite, including: in response to a user clicking on the first option, a third window is opened, the third window including an alignment pattern and an alignment area for displaying the alignment pattern; in response to a user adjusting a posture of the electronic device, the alignment pattern is moved so that the alignment pattern is partially displayed in the alignment area, or is fully displayed in the alignment area; and when the alignment pattern is fully displayed in the alignment area, a communication connection is established with the satellite.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the alignment status of the electronic device and the satellite is displayed in the form of animation, so that the user can intuitively determine whether the alignment of the electronic device and the satellite is completed according to whether the alignment pattern is fully displayed in the alignment area during the process of adjusting the posture of the electronic device, so that the user can adjust the posture of the electronic device in time according to the alignment animation. After completing the alignment with the satellite, the electronic device can try to communicate with the satellite.

[0025] In one possible implementation, in response to a user's operation of adjusting the posture of the electronic device, the alignment pattern is moved so that the alignment pattern is partially displayed in the alignment area, or is fully displayed in the alignment area, including: in response to a user's operation of tilting the electronic device upward or downward, controlling the alignment pattern to move upward to be exposed in the alignment area, or controlling the alignment pattern to move downward to disappear from the alignment area; or in response to a user's operation of tilting the electronic device to the right or left, controlling the alignment pattern to move right to be exposed in the alignment area, or controlling the alignment pattern to move left to disappear from the alignment area.

[0026] With the above technical solution, satellite alignment generally includes pitch alignment and left and right tilt alignment. The pitch alignment and left and right tilt alignment of the electronic device and the satellite are displayed in different dynamic effect forms, so that the user can intuitively determine whether the pitch alignment and left and right tilt alignment of the electronic device and the satellite are completed according to whether the alignment pattern is fully displayed in the alignment area during the process of adjusting the posture of the electronic device. The pitch alignment can be realized based on the user's operation of tilting the electronic device upward or downward. As the user tilts the electronic device upward or downward, the alignment pattern can move upward to be exposed in the alignment area, or the alignment pattern moves downward to disappear from the alignment area. When the alignment pattern is fully displayed in the alignment area, it indicates that the pitch alignment with the satellite is completed. The left and right tilt alignment can be realized based on the user's operation of tilting the electronic device to the right or left. As the user tilts the electronic device to the right or left, the alignment pattern can move to the right to be exposed in the alignment area, or the alignment pattern moves to the left to disappear from the alignment area. When the alignment pattern is fully displayed in the alignment area, it indicates that the left and right tilt alignment with the satellite is completed.

[0027] In one possible implementation, the interface display method also includes: in response to a user sliding operation on the third window, the third window is collapsed to a preset display form, the preset display form being any one of a banner window, a floating window, and a smart capsule; or after a preset length of time of establishing a communication connection with the satellite, the third window is collapsed to a preset display form.

[0028] By adopting the above technical solution, the third window may refer to the satellite connection status interface. By collapsing the third window into any one of a smaller banner window, a floating window, or a smart capsule, the visual impact or operational impact on the user caused by the third window blocking the content of the lower interface can be reduced.

[0029] In one possible implementation, the third window covers part of the content of the second page, and the interface display method further includes: in response to a user's click operation on the second page, moving the third window collapsed to a preset display form from a first position to a second position different from the first position.

[0030] By adopting the above technical solution, when the user operates the lower interface of the third window, by moving the third window folded into the preset display form from the first position to the second position different from the first position, the visual impact or operational impact on the user caused by the third window folded into the preset display form blocking the content of the lower interface can be further reduced. For example, the lower interface of the third window is a satellite phone dialing interface, and the default display position of the third window folded into the preset display form is the upper area of ​​the satellite phone dialing interface. When the user dials in the keyboard dialing area, the third window folded into the preset display form can automatically move to the area between the keyboard dialing area and the number display area to avoid blocking the number display area, thereby improving the user's dialing experience.

[0031] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides an interface display method, which is applied to an electronic device, and the method includes: in response to a user clicking operation on a first page displayed on the electronic device, moving a first window from a first position to a second position different from the first position, the first window being used to display the connection status of the electronic device and the satellite, the first window covering part of the content of the first page, and the first window being displayed on the first page in a preset display form, and the preset display form is any one of a banner window, a floating window, and a smart capsule.

[0032] By adopting the above technical solution, the first window can be a satellite connection status interface. When the electronic device establishes a communication connection with the satellite and the satellite connection status interface is collapsed into any one of a banner window, a floating window, and a smart capsule, for the first page displayed under the first window, an active avoidance rule of the first window can be configured accordingly to reduce the visual impact or operational impact caused by the first window being displayed above the first page and the user operating the first page.

[0033] In a possible implementation, the electronic device is installed with a first SIM card and a second SIM card, the first page is a dialing interface, and when the electronic device does not establish a communication connection with the satellite, the dialing interface includes a first dialing icon corresponding to the first SIM card and a second dialing icon corresponding to the second SIM card; when the electronic device establishes a communication connection with the satellite based on the first SIM card, the dialing interface only displays the first dialing icon corresponding to the first SIM card; when the electronic device establishes a communication connection with the satellite based on the second SIM card, the dialing interface only displays the second dialing icon corresponding to the second SIM card.

[0034] By adopting the above technical solution, when the electronic device has not established a communication connection with the satellite and the electronic device is installed with the first SIM card and the second SIM card, the dialing interface can display a first dialing icon corresponding to the first SIM card and a second dialing icon corresponding to the second SIM card, so that the user can use the first SIM card or the second SIM card to make a call. When the electronic device has established a communication connection with the satellite and the electronic device is installed with the first SIM card and the second SIM card, the dialing interface can only display the dialing icon corresponding to the SIM card used to establish the satellite communication connection, so that the user can make a satellite call. Compared with the solution of still displaying two dialing icons when the communication connection is established with the satellite, the situation in which the user cannot initiate a satellite call by clicking the dialing icon corresponding to the other SIM card can be avoided.

[0035] In one possible implementation, the first page is a dialing interface, and in response to a user clicking operation on the first page displayed by the electronic device, the first window is moved from a first position to a second position different from the first position, including: in response to a user clicking operation on a keyboard dialing area in the dialing interface, the first window is moved from a first position to a second position, the first position is a number display area in the dialing interface, and the second position is an area between the number display area and the keyboard dialing area in the dialing interface.

[0036] Using the above technical solution, the first page is the satellite phone dialing interface, and the default display position of the first window that is folded into a preset display form is generally the upper area of ​​the satellite phone dialing interface. When the user dials in the keyboard dialing area, the first window that is folded into a preset display form can automatically move to the area between the keyboard dialing area and the number display area to avoid blocking the number display area, thereby improving the user's dialing experience.

[0037] In one possible implementation, the keyboard dialing area includes a dialing icon, and the interface display method further includes: in response to a user clicking the dialing icon, displaying a call interface, wherein the call interface displays prompt information of the call time that is estimated to be supported by the remaining power of the electronic device.

[0038] By adopting the above technical solution, users usually use the satellite communication function of electronic devices in more emergency scenarios. In such scenarios, the power of electronic devices is relatively precious. By displaying the prompt information of the estimated call time that the remaining power of the electronic device can support on the call interface, users can be reminded to conserve power, reasonably plan call time, and increase the possibility of users being successfully rescued in emergency scenarios.

[0039] In a possible implementation, the interface display method further includes: when a call is ended, opening a second window, the second window including an option for turning on a power saving mode; and turning on the power saving mode in response to a user clicking on the option.

[0040] By adopting the above technical solution, since the usage scenarios of satellite phones or satellite text messages are generally when users are in extreme environments and want to get in touch with the outside world, the power of electronic devices is relatively precious. In order to increase the possibility of successful rescue of users, the electronic device can automatically open a second window to prompt the user whether to turn on the power saving mode after detecting the end of the satellite call. The user can click the second option in the second window to quickly turn on the power saving mode.

[0041] In one possible implementation, in response to a user clicking operation on a first page displayed by an electronic device, before moving the first window from a first position to a second position different from the first position, the interface display method further includes: in a case where an alignment pattern and an alignment area for displaying the alignment pattern are displayed in the first window, in response to a user adjusting the posture of the electronic device, moving the alignment pattern so that the alignment pattern is partially displayed in the alignment area, or is fully displayed in the alignment area; and in a case where the alignment pattern is fully displayed in the alignment area, establishing a communication connection with a satellite.

[0042] By adopting the above technical solution, the alignment status of the electronic device and the satellite is displayed in the form of animation, so that the user can intuitively determine whether the alignment of the electronic device and the satellite is completed according to whether the alignment pattern is fully displayed in the alignment area during the process of adjusting the posture of the electronic device, so that the user can adjust the posture of the electronic device in time according to the alignment animation. After completing the alignment with the satellite, the electronic device can try to communicate with the satellite.

[0043] In a third aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a computer-readable storage medium, including computer instructions. When the computer instructions are executed on an electronic device, the electronic device executes the interface display method described in the first aspect or the second aspect.

[0044] In a fourth aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides an electronic device, which includes a processor and a memory, the memory is used to store instructions, and the processor is used to call the instructions in the memory so that the electronic device executes the interface display method described in the first aspect or the second aspect.

[0068] To facilitate understanding, some illustrations of concepts related to the embodiments of the present application are given by way of example for reference.

[0069] It should be noted that the terms "first" and "second" involved in the embodiments of the present application are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Thus, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the embodiments of the present application, words such as "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate examples, illustrations or explanations. Any embodiment or design described as "exemplary" or "for example" in the embodiments of the present application should not be interpreted as being more preferred or more advantageous than other embodiments or design. Specifically, the use of words such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present related concepts in a concrete way.

[0070] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those generally understood by technicians in the technical field in this application. The terms used in the specification of this application are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit this application. It should be understood that, unless otherwise specified in this application, " / " means or. For example, A / B can represent A or B. "And / or" in this application is only a description of the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. "At least one" means one or more. "Multiple" means two or more than two. For example, at least one of a, b or c can represent: a, b, c, a and b, a and c, b and c, a, b and c seven situations.

[0071] With the development of terminal technology, satellite communication functions can be integrated into electronic devices. In this way, electronic devices can make satellite calls with other electronic devices or send satellite messages based on satellite communication functions in the absence of operator mobile communication networks, making it easier for users to get in touch with the outside world in extreme environments (for example, in deserts, forests, seas, etc. far away from human habitation).

[0072] After the satellite communication function is integrated into the electronic device, it is also necessary to match it with a corresponding human-computer interaction interface (also called a user interface) to facilitate users to perform satellite calls and / or send satellite text messages on the electronic device.

[0073] In order to solve the above technical problems, an embodiment of the present application provides an interface display method, which can solve the problem that existing electronic devices lack a user interface corresponding to the satellite communication function.

[0074] The interface display method of the embodiment of the present application can be applied to various types of electronic devices supporting satellite communication functions. The electronic device can be a mobile phone, a portable android device (Pad), a wearable device (such as a smart watch), a vehicle-mounted device, and the like. The electronic device can be, for example, a device equipped with Windows Or devices with other operating systems, which are not limited in this application. The embodiment of this application is described by taking the electronic device as a mobile phone as an example.

[0075] The user interface (UI) in the embodiments of the present application is a medium interface for interaction and information exchange between an application or operating system and a user, and can realize the conversion between the internal form of information and the form acceptable to the user (such as a visual operating environment). The term user interface may refer to the text contained in the user interface, and the text language may be Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, French, Russian, German, Portuguese, etc. The user interface of an application may be a source code written in a specific computer language such as JAVA or extensible markup language (XML). The interface source code is parsed and rendered on an electronic device, and finally presented as content that the user can recognize, such as pictures, text, buttons and other controls. Controls are the basic elements of the user interface. Typical controls include buttons, widgets, toolbars, menu bars, text boxes, scroll bars, images and text. The properties and contents of controls in the interface are defined by tags or nodes, such as XML through <textview> 、 <imgview> 、 <videoview>The controls contained in the interface are specified by nodes such as . A node corresponds to a control or attribute in the interface. After parsing and rendering, the node is presented as user-visible content. In addition, many applications, such as hybrid applications, usually also contain web pages in their interfaces. A web page, also known as a page, can be understood as a special control embedded in the application interface. A web page is source code written in a specific computer language, such as hypertext markup language (HTML), cascading style sheets (CSS), JAVA scripts (JavaScript, JS), etc. The web page source code can be loaded and displayed as user-recognizable content by a browser or a web page display component with similar functions to a browser. The specific content contained in a web page is also defined by tags or nodes in the web page source code. For example, HTML is defined by 、 、 <video> 、 <canvas>To define the elements and attributes of a web page. The display interface, application program interface, and other interfaces in the embodiments of the present application may be referred to as a user interface.

[0076] The most common form of user interface is graphical user interface (GUI), which refers to a user interface related to computer operation that is displayed in a graphical manner. It can be an icon, window, control or other interface element displayed on the display screen of an electronic device.

[0141] The application layer can include a series of application packages.

[0142] like Figure 2 As shown, the application package may include applications such as battery management, camera, gallery, calendar, call, map, navigation, music, video, short message, etc.

[0143] The application framework layer provides an application programming interface (API) and a programming framework for the applications in the application layer. The application framework layer includes some predefined functions.

[0144] like Figure 2 As shown, the application framework layer may include a window manager, an input manager, a sensor manager, a phone manager, a resource manager, a notification manager, and the like.

[0145] The input manager can be used to monitor the user's input events, such as click events and slide events performed by the user's finger on the display screen 193 of the electronic device 100. By monitoring the input events, the electronic device 100 can determine whether the electronic device is being used.

[0146] The sensor manager is used to monitor the data returned by various sensors in the electronic device, such as motion sensor data, proximity light sensor data, temperature sensor data, etc. Using the data returned by each sensor, the electronic device can determine whether it is shaking, or whether the display screen 193 is blocked, etc.

[0147] Android Runtime includes core libraries and virtual machines. Android runtime is responsible for scheduling and management of the Android system.

[0148] The core library consists of two parts: one part is the function that needs to be called by the Java language, and the other part is the Android core library.

[0149] The application layer and the application framework layer run in a virtual machine. The virtual machine executes the Java files of the application layer and the application framework layer as binary files. The virtual machine is used to perform functions such as object life cycle management, stack management, thread management, security and exception management, and garbage collection.

[0150] The system library may include multiple functional modules, such as surface manager, media library, 3D graphics processing library (such as OpenGL ES), 2D graphics engine (such as SGL), etc.

[0151] The surface manager is used to manage the display subsystem and provide the fusion of 2D and 3D layers for multiple applications.

[0152] The media library supports playback and recording of a variety of commonly used audio and video formats, as well as static image files, etc. The media library can support a variety of audio and video encoding formats, such as: MPEG4, H.264, MP3, AAC, AMR, JPG, PNG, etc.

[0153] The 3D graphics processing library is used to implement 3D graphics drawing, image rendering, compositing, and layer processing.

[0154] A 2D graphics engine is a drawing engine for 2D drawings.

[0155] The kernel layer is the layer between the hardware (hardware layer) and the software. The kernel layer contains at least display drivers, camera drivers, audio drivers, and sensor drivers. The hardware layer can include display screens, cameras, sensors, etc.

[0156] like Figure 3a As shown, for a SIM card installed in an electronic device, if the operator to which the SIM card belongs operates a satellite communication service and the SIM card has activated the satellite communication service, the electronic device can use the satellite communication function normally based on the SIM card. Specifically, the process of the electronic device trying to use the satellite communication function may include:

[0157] (i) In response to a first operation by the user, the electronic device turns on a satellite communication function.

[0158] For example, the setting interface of the electronic device includes a "satellite network" option, and the electronic device can respond to the user's first operation on the "satellite network" option to enable the satellite communication function.

[0159] (ii) Electronic equipment for satellite search and pointing.

[0160] After the satellite communication function is turned on in an electronic device, the electronic device can automatically search and point to satellites (search for satellites and point to satellites). In order to operate satellite communication services, the operator to which the SIM card belongs has deployed multiple mobile communication satellites in the geosynchronous orbit. The electronic device requests to establish a communication connection with the mobile communication satellite through searching and pointing to satellites. Taking the mobile communication satellite as the Tiantong satellite as an example, the electronic device searches and points to satellites and requests to establish a communication connection with the Tiantong satellite.

[0161] (iii) The electronic device initiates network registration with the Tiantong satellite.

[0162] After the electronic device has searched for the Tiantong satellite and completed alignment with the Tiantong satellite, the electronic device can initiate network registration with the Tiantong satellite. If the SIM card installed in the electronic device has activated the satellite communication service, the electronic device can successfully register with the Tiantong satellite.

[0163] (iv) The electronic equipment establishes a communication connection with the Tiantong satellite.

[0164] After the electronic device successfully performs network registration on the Tiantong satellite, the electronic device establishes a communication connection with the Tiantong satellite, that is, the electronic device has been successfully connected to the Tiantong satellite.

[0165] (v) In response to a second operation by the user, the electronic device initiates a satellite call and / or sends a satellite text message.

[0166] After the electronic device establishes a communication connection with the Tiantong satellite, the user can make satellite calls with other electronic devices or send satellite messages through the satellite communication function of the electronic device, so as to get in touch with the outside world without the operator's mobile communication network. For example, the electronic device can provide a satellite phone dialing keyboard on the dialing interface, respond to the user's second operation on the satellite phone dialing keyboard, initiate a satellite call, or the electronic device can respond to the user's second operation on the text message interface to send a satellite message.

[0167] like Figure 3b As shown, if the operator to which the SIM card belongs operates a satellite communication service, but the SIM card installed in the electronic device has not activated the satellite communication service, the electronic device cannot use the satellite communication function based on the SIM card. Specifically, the process of the electronic device trying to use the satellite communication function may include:

[0168] (i) In response to a first operation by the user, the electronic device turns on a satellite communication function.

[0169] (ii) Electronic equipment for satellite search and pointing.

[0170] (iii) The electronic device initiates network registration with the Tiantong satellite.

[0171] (iv) If the network registration fails, the electronic device outputs a first prompt message.

[0172] Because the satellite communication service is not activated for the SIM card installed in the electronic device, the electronic device cannot register on the Tiantong satellite, and the electronic device cannot connect to the Tiantong satellite. The electronic device may output a first prompt message in the form of a pop-up window, for example, the first prompt message is "The satellite communication service is not activated for the SIM card."

[0173] like Figure 3c As shown, if the operator to which the SIM card belongs does not operate a satellite communication service, the electronic device cannot use the satellite communication function based on the SIM card. Specifically, the process of the electronic device trying to use the satellite communication function may include:

[0174] (i) In response to a first operation by the user, the electronic device turns on a satellite communication function.

[0175] (ii) Electronic equipment for satellite search and pointing.

[0176] (iii) If the satellite search and alignment fails, the electronic device outputs a second prompt message.

[0177] Because the operator to which the SIM card belongs does not operate satellite communication services, the electronic device cannot complete satellite search and alignment. The electronic device can output a second prompt message in the form of a pop-up box. For example, the second prompt message is "No SIM card supporting satellite communication services has been inserted" or "No SIM card of XX operator has been inserted."

[0178] Reference Figure 4 As shown, taking the example that the operator to which the SIM card installed in the electronic device belongs operates a satellite communication business and the satellite corresponding to the satellite communication business is the Tiantong satellite, the process of the electronic device using the satellite communication function is introduced in detail.

[0179] (1) Turn on the satellite communication switch to enable the satellite communication function.

[0180] The setting interface of the electronic device may include a "satellite network" option. After the user clicks the "satellite network" option, the user can enter the activation interface of the satellite communication function. The activation interface of the satellite communication function may be provided with an "enable" control of the satellite communication function. The user can turn on the satellite communication function by clicking the "enable" control.

[0181] In some embodiments, the user can also enable the satellite communication function through the "Satellite Network" APP icon displayed on the desktop or the "Satellite Network" icon or option displayed from the control center.

[0182] (2) Power on the satellite communication module to try to connect to the Tiantong satellite.

[0183] In order to improve the battery life of electronic devices, when the satellite communication function is not turned on, the satellite communication module of the electronic device can be in a power-off sleep state. When the satellite communication function is turned on, the satellite communication module can enter a power-on state and try to connect to the Tiantong satellite through the satellite communication module.

[0184] (3) When the satellite communication module is powered on, the mobile communication module (cellular network function is unavailable), the wireless communication module (Wi-Fi network function, NFC function, etc. are unavailable), and the camera module (shooting function is unavailable) are powered off.

[0185] In order to avoid system interference between the mobile communication module, wireless communication module, camera module, etc. and the satellite communication module, the mobile communication module, wireless communication module, camera module, etc. can be powered off when the satellite communication module is powered on, or the mobile communication network, wireless communication network and camera function can be turned off at the software level.

[0186] In some embodiments, users use the satellite communication function of electronic devices usually in more emergency scenarios. In such scenarios, the power of electronic devices is relatively precious. Powering off the mobile communication module, wireless communication module, camera module, etc. can also reduce the power consumption of the electronic devices, extend the standby time of the electronic devices, and increase the possibility of successful rescue.

[0187] (4) When the satellite communication module is powered on, perform satellite search and alignment.

[0188] (5) If the satellite search and / or alignment fails, the corresponding interface prompt message will be output.

[0189] A time threshold may be set corresponding to the satellite search and the satellite alignment. The time threshold may be set according to actual needs, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit this. For example, the time threshold may be 60s, 90s, or 120s, etc. When the satellite search is not successfully performed within the satellite search time threshold, the electronic device may output a prompt message of "satellite search failed". When the satellite search is successful, but the satellite alignment is not successfully performed within the satellite alignment time threshold, the electronic device may output a prompt message of "satellite connection timeout".

[0190] In some embodiments, if the electronic device fails to search for satellites, the electronic device may exit the search for satellites and the alignment in response to a user operation, that is, exit the satellite connection, or perform the search for satellites and the alignment again in response to a user operation to try to establish a satellite connection again.

[0191] In some embodiments, when entering the satellite search state, the satellite connection state interface may display a satellite search countdown. After the satellite search countdown ends, if the electronic device has not completed the satellite search, the electronic device may output a prompt message of "satellite search failed". After the satellite search is successful, the satellite connection state interface displays a connection countdown. After the connection countdown ends, if the electronic device has not completed the connection with the satellite, the electronic device may output a prompt message of "satellite connection timeout".

[0192] In some embodiments, possible reasons for satellite search failure, or satellite search success but failure to connect to satellites may include, but are not limited to: the electronic device is in a non-open area, causing the satellite signal to be blocked by environmental objects, the satellite signal is weak due to the obstruction of the electronic device protective case, the satellite angle is wrong, the satellite search timeout, etc.

[0193] (6) If the satellite search and alignment are successful, initiate network registration with the Tiantong satellite.

[0194] (7) If the satellite communication service is activated on the SIM card, the network registration is successful and a connection is established with the Tiantong satellite.

[0195] (8) In response to the second operation of the user, executing satellite call and / or satellite text message services.

[0196] After the electronic device establishes a communication connection with the Tiantong satellite, the user can make satellite calls with other electronic devices or send satellite messages through the satellite communication function of the electronic device. For example, the electronic device can respond to the user's second operation on the dialing interface to initiate a satellite call to a designated contact, or the electronic device can respond to the user's second operation on the text message interface to send a satellite message to a designated contact.

[0197] (9) If the satellite communication service is not activated on the SIM card, the network registration fails and a communication connection with the Tiantong satellite cannot be established, and a corresponding prompt message will be displayed.

[0198] If the SIM card installed in the electronic device has not activated the satellite communication service, the electronic device cannot register on the Tiantong satellite, that is, the electronic device cannot connect to the Tiantong satellite. The electronic device may display a prompt message that "the satellite communication service of the SIM card has not been activated", or may display a prompt message that "Tiantong satellite is only for XX card users. Please contact XX to activate this service before using this service."

[0199] In some embodiments, the reasons for failing to perform network registration on the Tiantong satellite may include: the International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) of the electronic device has not been registered with the XX operator, the SIM card of the electronic device has not activated the satellite communication service, the SIM card of the electronic device has not activated roaming, etc.

[0200] (10) Disconnect the communication connection with the Tiantong satellite.

[0201] After establishing a communication connection with the Tiantong satellite, the electronic device can also disconnect the communication connection with the Tiantong satellite. The disconnection mode can include active disconnection and passive disconnection.

[0202] Active disconnection means that the user actively closes the communication connection between the electronic device and the Tiantong satellite. The user can actively close the communication connection between the electronic device and the Tiantong satellite through the satellite exit interface or the satellite switch interface. For example, the satellite exit interface is the interface in the "Satellite Network" APP. The user clicks the "Disconnect" control in the "Satellite Network" APP to disconnect the communication connection with the Tiantong satellite. For example, the satellite switch interface is the interface containing the "Satellite Network" icon in the control center. The user clicks the "Satellite Network" icon displayed in the control center (the icon is grayed out) to disconnect the communication connection with the Tiantong satellite.

[0203] Passive disconnection may refer to the situation where the electronic device loses the satellite. The situation where the satellite is lost may refer to the connection state with the Tiantong satellite changing from connected to disconnected due to the change in the position of the electronic device. For example, after the electronic device establishes a communication connection with the Tiantong satellite, the electronic device changes with the user's position or hand-held posture, which may cause the communication connection with the Tiantong satellite to be disconnected.

[0204] In the case where the satellite loss lasts for a preset time (also referred to as a satellite loss timeout), the electronic device may display a corresponding prompt message. The preset time may be set according to actual needs, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit this. For example, the preset time is 60 seconds. The corresponding prompt message may be a pop-up prompt message of "Not connected to the satellite for 60 seconds, about to exit Tiantong satellite communication". The pop-up prompt message may include the options of "Continue to use" and "Exit (x seconds)". If the user does not click the "Continue to use" option before the exit countdown of x seconds, the electronic device will automatically turn off the satellite communication function.

[0205] (11) Turn off the satellite communication switch.

[0206] After disconnecting the communication connection with the Tiantong satellite, the electronic device can turn off the satellite communication switch automatically or in response to a user operation. When the electronic device turns off the satellite communication switch, the satellite communication module is powered off.

[0207] In the case where the electronic device turns off the satellite communication switch, the electronic device may also turn on the satellite communication switch again in response to a user operation.

[0208] (12) The satellite communication module is powered off.

[0209] (13) When the satellite communication module is powered off, the mobile communication module (the cellular network function is restored to be available), the wireless communication module (the Wi-Fi network function and the NFC function are restored to be available), and the camera module (the shooting function is restored to be available) are powered on.

[0210] See also Figure 5a and Figure 5b , taking the satellite communication function based on the Tiantong satellite as an example, a schematic diagram of the operation flow of using the satellite communication function is briefly shown.

[0211] Figure 5a (a) is a schematic diagram of an activation interface I1 of a satellite communication function, and the activation interface I1 includes an "activate" control, and a user can click the "activate" control to activate the satellite communication function. The click operation involved in the embodiment of the present application can be a click operation by a user's finger, or a click operation by a user's stylus pen, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific form of the click operation.

[0212] After the user clicks the "enable" control, an interface (satellite connection status interface 10) showing that the electronic device is connecting to the Tiantong satellite may be displayed. The satellite connection status interface 10 is as follows: Figure 5a As shown in (b) of FIG. 1 , the satellite connection status interface 10 covers a portion of the activation interface I1, and the satellite connection status interface 10 can be folded to form a banner window 11 (refer to FIG. 1 ).

[0215] In display Figure 5a After the interface (d) in FIG. 1 is displayed, if the user collapses the satellite connection status interface 10, for example, by sliding down or sliding up, the Figure 5b The satellite service user interface I2 is shown in (a). Figure 5b In (a), the satellite connection status interface 10 is folded and displayed in the form of a banner window 11, and the banner window 11 covers a part of the satellite service usage interface I2.

[0216] exist Figure 5b In (a), the "Satellite Phone" icon and the "Satellite SMS" icon can also be displayed. When the user clicks the "Satellite Phone" icon, he can enter the satellite phone dialing interface (such as Figure 5b As shown in (b) in FIG. 1 , the user clicks the "satellite SMS" icon to enter the satellite SMS editing interface. The "satellite phone" icon in the satellite service use interface I2 has a satellite badge added compared to the conventional "phone" icon (for example, when no connection is established with the satellite), and the "satellite SMS" icon has a satellite badge added compared to the original "SMS" icon to distinguish them.

[0217] exist Figure 5b A "disconnect" control may also be displayed in (a). The user may actively disconnect from the Tiantong satellite by clicking the "disconnect" control.

[0218] In display Figure 5b After the interface (a) in the figure, if the user clicks the "satellite phone" icon, the Figure 5b The interface shown in (b) in Figure 5b In (b), a satellite phone dialing interface and a banner window 11 suspended above the satellite phone dialing interface can be displayed (the banner window 11 is used to display the satellite connection status). The satellite phone dialing interface includes a keyboard dialing area, and the dialing icon in the keyboard dialing area has a satellite badge added compared to the original dialing icon. For example, the information displayed in the banner window 11 includes satellite signal status information, signal grid number, handheld electronic device posture prompt information, longitude / latitude, altitude and other information.

[0219] In display Figure 5b After the interface (b) in FIG. 1 is displayed, the user can also return to the desktop by sliding up (for example, sliding up from the bottom of the screen). Figure 5b The desktop interface shown in (c) is shown in Figure 5b In (c), the phone icon displayed on the desktop interface is a "satellite phone" icon, and the text message icon is a "satellite text message" icon, to prompt the user that the electronic device is currently connected to the satellite and can make satellite calls or send satellite text messages, and a banner window 11 is displayed on the desktop interface (the banner window 11 is used to display the satellite connection status).

[0220] Combine the following Figure 6a-6f A detailed introduction to the operational flow chart for enabling the satellite communication function.

[0221] Electronic devices can turn on satellite communications in a variety of ways. Figure 6a As shown, three ways to turn on the satellite communication switch are illustrated. Figure 6a (a) in the figure shows that the setting interface includes a "satellite network" option 12. The user can click the "satellite network" option 12 in the setting interface to enter Figure 6b The interface for enabling the satellite communication function is shown.

[0222] Figure 6a (b) in the figure shows that the desktop includes a "Satellite Network" APP icon 13, and the user can click on the "Satellite Network" APP icon 13 to enter Figure 6b The interface for enabling the satellite communication function is shown. Figure 6a (c) in the figure indicates that the control center includes a "satellite network" icon 14. The user can click on the "satellite network" icon 14 in the control center to enter Figure 6b The interface for enabling the satellite communication function is shown.

[0223] exist Figure 6b In (a), if the user is turning on the satellite communication function for the first time, the first-time use instruction interface of the satellite communication function can be displayed. The first-time use instruction interface includes the instructions for using Tiantong satellite communication and displays two options: "Cancel" and "Agree". If the user clicks the "Cancel" option, he can return to the previous interface, for example, return to Figure 6a In the interface shown in (a), (b), or (c), if the user clicks the "Agree" option, he can enter Figure 6b The activation interface shown in (b) in FIG. Figure 6b The enabling interface shown in (b) includes an "enable" control.

[0224] exist Figure 6b In the activation interface shown in (b), a prompt message of "Only XX card is supported" (for example, "Only Telecom card is supported") may also be displayed. When the user clicks on the prompt message of "Only XX card is supported", a pop-up box may be displayed saying "Tiantong satellite communication is only for XX card users. Please contact XX to activate this service before using this service". The user may also close the pop-up box by clicking on the "Got it" option in the pop-up box. In other embodiments, before outputting the prompt "Only XX card is supported", it may be determined whether the SIM card currently used by the electronic device is a SIM card that supports the communication function of the Tiantong satellite. If the user's terminal device uses a SIM card that supports the communication function of the Tiantong satellite, there is no need to display the prompt message of "Only XX card is supported".

[0225] In some embodiments, if the user is not enabling the satellite communication function for the first time, the user can skip this step. Figure 6b (a) in the figure shows directly Figure 6b The activation interface shown in (b) in FIG.

When flight mode is enabled, Tiantong satellite communication cannot be used. Do you want to turn it off?", and the pop-up box includes "Cancel" and "Turn off" options. If the user clicks the "Cancel" option, the Tiantong satellite communication function will not be used because the flight mode is not turned off.

[0228] If the user clicks the "Close" option, the airplane mode will be turned off and a pop-up window will pop up. Figure 6c The pop-up box shown in (b) of the figure may include "When using satellite communication, WLAN, mobile data and location information switches will be turned off, the camera will be disabled, and related services will be unavailable to avoid system interference", and the pop-up box includes "Cancel" and "Confirm" options. If the user clicks the "Cancel" option, the Tiantong satellite communication will not be available. If the user clicks the "Confirm" option, the following information may be displayed Figure 6c (c) in the pop-up window, or open Figure 6d The satellite connection status interface 10 shown in (a) .

Are you sure you want to stop the service?" Click the "Cancel" option to not stop the Tiantong satellite communication service, and click the "Stop" option to stop the Tiantong satellite communication service.

[0235] exist Figure 6d In the satellite connection status interface 10 shown in (a) of FIG. 1 , prompt information for searching satellites and dynamic effects for searching satellites may be displayed. The prompt information for searching satellites may include "Searching satellites should be used in an open area to avoid blocking satellite information". The dynamic effect for searching satellites may be a fan-shaped area 102 of a specified color (e.g., blue) rotating around the earth pattern 101 with the earth pattern 101 as the center area.

[0236] If the satellite search fails, the satellite connection status interface 10 displays the following content: Figure 6d As shown in (b) in . Figure 6d The satellite connection status interface 10 shown in (b) includes a prompt message of satellite search failure and a "reconnect" control. The prompt message of satellite search failure may include "Satellite search failed, please stay in an open area or remove the phone case and try again." If the user clicks the "reconnect" control, the electronic device can search for satellites again.

[0237] If the satellite search is successful, the satellite connection status interface 10 displays the following content: Figure 6e As shown in (a) in . Figure 6e The satellite connection status interface 10 shown in (a) includes a countdown for connecting (for example, starting from 120 seconds), a prompt message for connecting, a connecting animation, and the current longitude, latitude, and altitude of the electronic device. The connecting prompt message may include "Connecting (***s) Already aiming at the satellite, please confirm that there are no buildings or trees blocking the direction", and the connecting animation may be an animation of the earth pattern 101 continuously receiving the signal transmitted by the satellite pattern 103.

[0238] In some embodiments, Figure 6e The satellite connection status interface 10 shown in (a) can also be folded by sliding down, such as Figure 6e As shown in (b) , the satellite connection status interface 10 is displayed in the form of a banner window 11 after being folded.

Figure 6e The interface shown in (d) includes a satellite connection timeout prompt message and a "reconnect" control. The satellite connection timeout prompt message may be: "Satellite connection timeout, please rotate the phone as prompted to move the satellite to the specified area". If the user clicks the "reconnect" control, the electronic device may try to establish a connection with the Tiantong satellite again.

[0240] In some embodiments, if a connection with the Tiantong satellite is not successfully established before the countdown ends, a connection timeout prompt box may also be displayed. The content of the connection timeout prompt box may include "This card may not have activated the Tiantong satellite service yet, please contact the relevant operator and try again after activation."

[0241] exist Figure 6e In the satellite connection status interface 10 shown in (c), the prompt information that the electronic device has been successfully connected to the Tiantong satellite, the strength of the satellite signal, and the effect diagram that the earth pattern 101 and the satellite pattern 103 have established a connection are displayed. The prompt information that has been successfully connected to the Tiantong satellite can include "Successfully connected to the satellite. The current signal is good. Please keep holding the hand posture", and the strength of the satellite signal can be displayed by the number of signal grids. The effect diagram that the earth pattern 101 and the satellite pattern 103 have established a connection can be a dynamic effect of the satellite pattern 103 extending the signal waveform in the direction of the earth pattern 101, or a dynamic effect of the earth pattern 101 extending the signal waveform in the direction of the satellite pattern 103.

[0242] Figure 6e The satellite connection status interface 10 shown in (c) also supports folding by sliding down, such as Figure 6f As shown in (a) of FIG. 1 , the satellite connection status interface 10 is displayed in the form of a banner window 11 after being folded.

[0243] In some embodiments, when the satellite signal is strong (e.g., satellite signal strength of 2 bars or more), the sector area 102 may be displayed in color 1, and when the satellite signal is weak (e.g., satellite signal strength of less than 2 bars), the sector area 102 may be displayed in color 2, so that the user can intuitively determine the current satellite signal strength. For example, color 1 may be green and color 2 may be blue.

[0244] exist Figure 6f The "Satellite Network" APP interface in (a) can also display the "Satellite Phone" icon and the "Satellite SMS" icon. The user clicks the "Satellite Phone" icon to enter the satellite phone dialing interface, such as Figure 6f As shown in (b) in the figure, the user clicks the "Satellite SMS" icon to enter the satellite SMS editing interface. The "Satellite Phone" icon has a satellite badge added compared to the original "Phone" icon (i.e., the satellite communication function is not enabled), and the "Satellite SMS" icon has a satellite badge added compared to the original "SMS" icon.

[0245] exist Figure 6f The "Satellite Network" APP interface in (a) may also display a "Disconnect" control. When the user clicks the "Disconnect" control, the user may actively disconnect from the Tiantong satellite. If the user clicks the "Disconnect" control, a prompt box may pop up to confirm the disconnection. The prompt box may include a disconnection prompt message, a "Cancel" option, and an "OK" option. The disconnection prompt message may be "Are you sure you want to exit Tiantong satellite communication?" If the user clicks the "OK" option again, the electronic device will disconnect from the Tiantong satellite.

[0246] exist Figure 6f In (b), in order to facilitate the user to dial, the satellite connection status interface 10 is displayed in the form of a banner window 11 by default. Figure 6f In the keyboard dialing area shown in (b), the dialing icon has a satellite badge added compared to the original dialing icon to remind the user that the call currently dialed is a satellite call.

[0247] Figure 6f The banner window 11 displayed in (b) of FIG. 1 can also be expanded. For example, the banner window 11 can be double-clicked or slid down to expand the satellite connection status interface 10. Figure 6f As shown in (c) in Figure 6f (b) shows a display state when the banner window 11 is expanded.

[0248] The user can also return to the desktop by swiping up (for example, swiping up from the bottom of the screen). Figure 6f For example, the electronic device currently displays Figure 6f The user can return to the desktop by swiping up, and the electronic device will display the interface content shown in (a), (b) or (c) Figure 6f The interface shown in (d).

[0249] exist Figure 6f In (d), the phone icon displayed on the desktop is a "satellite phone" icon, the SMS icon is a "satellite SMS" icon, and a banner window 11 is displayed on the desktop (the banner window 11 is used to display the satellite connection status).

[0250] Combine the following Figures 7a-7d A detailed introduction to the operational flow chart of establishing a connection between electronic equipment and satellites.

[0251] Figure 7a The activation interface shown in (a) is the same as Figure 6b The activation interface is the same as that shown in (b) and will not be repeated here.

[0252] After the user clicks the "Enable" control, if the magnetic field sensor accuracy of the electronic device does not meet the preset requirements, calibration will be triggered and the display will be Figure 7a The satellite connection status interface 10 shown in (b) is used for accuracy calibration. If the accuracy of the magnetic field sensor of the electronic device meets the preset requirements, the calibration is not triggered and the display is displayed. Figure 7a The satellite connection status interface 10 shown in (c) .

[0253] Figure 7a The satellite connection status interface 10 shown in (b) includes calibration prompt information and calibration animation. The calibration animation may be a ball that rotates at the edge of a circle as the user tilts the electronic device. The calibration prompt information may include "Precision calibration, please tilt the device to the maximum extent to complete the calibration circle". The user can calibrate the magnetic field sensor according to the calibration prompt information. After completing the magnetic field sensor calibration, it can be displayed Figure 7a The satellite connection status interface 10 shown in (c) .

[0254] Figure 7a The satellite connection status interface 10 shown in (c) is Figure 6d The satellite connection status interface 10 shown in (a) is the same as that shown in FIG. 1 , and will not be described in detail here.

[0255] If the electronic device fails to search for a satellite, the content displayed on the satellite connection status interface 10 will be changed to Figure 7a The interface shown in (c) is transformed into Figure 7a The interface shown in (d). Figure 7a The satellite connection status interface 10 shown in (d) is Figure 6d The satellite connection status interface 10 shown in (b) is the same as that shown in FIG. 1 , and will not be described in detail here.

[0256] If the electronic device successfully searches for a satellite, the content displayed on the satellite connection status interface 10 is changed to Figure 7a The interface shown in (c) is transformed into Figure 7b The interface shown in (a). Figure 7b The satellite connection status interface 10 shown in (a) may include alignment prompt information, alignment animation, and the current longitude, latitude, and altitude of the electronic device. The alignment prompt information may include "Turn the phone right to align with the satellite and move the satellite to the fan-shaped area 102", and the alignment animation may include the animation ae1 of turning the handheld phone to the right and the animation of aligning the satellite pattern 103 with the earth pattern 101. In the animation of aligning the satellite pattern 103 with the earth pattern 101, the satellite pattern 103 may rotate around the earth pattern 101 as the user turns the phone. For example, as the user turns the phone to the right, the satellite pattern 103 moves along Figure 7b The circle shown in (a) in FIG. 1 rotates clockwise. When the satellite pattern 103 moves to Figure 7b After the fan-shaped area 102 shown in (a) in FIG. 1 , it indicates that the satellite azimuth alignment is completed. Figure 7b The satellite connection status interface 10 shown in (a) of FIG. 1 can be folded and displayed in the form of a banner window 11. For example, the satellite connection status interface 10 can be folded in response to a user's sliding operation. The display effect of the satellite connection status interface 10 after folding is as follows: Figure 7b As shown in (b) in .

[0257] During the satellite azimuth alignment process, as the satellite pattern 103 moves to Figure 7b In the fan-shaped area 102 shown in (a), the earth pattern 101 may not be completely exposed, indicating that the satellite pitch angle or the third dimension angle (left and right tilt angle) needs to be aligned, that is, the content displayed in the satellite connection status interface 10 is Figure 7b The interface shown in (a) is transformed into Figure 7b The interface shown in (c) in the figure, or Figure 7c The interface shown in (a).

[0258] Figure 7b The satellite connection status interface 10 shown in (c) may include alignment prompt information, alignment animation, and the current longitude, latitude, and altitude of the electronic device. The alignment prompt information may include "tilt the phone upwards to aim at the satellite until the earth pattern 101 is fully exposed", and the alignment animation may include the animation ae2 of the handheld phone tilting upwards and the animation of the earth pattern 101 being exposed upwards or hidden downwards. As the phone is tilted upwards, the earth pattern 101 may be exposed from the bottom upwards and gradually expand until the earth pattern 101 is fully exposed (the earth pattern 101 fills the center circle C1), indicating that the phone is aligned with the Tiantong satellite in pitch angle. The content displayed on the satellite connection status interface 10 may be indicated by Figure 7b The interface shown in (c) is transformed into Figure 7c The interface shown in (b) in the figure. The dynamic effect of the earth pattern 101 being exposed upward or hidden downward allows the user to intuitively know whether the mobile phone is aligned with the Tiantong satellite in pitch angle, saving the time of aligning the pitch angle and improving the user's satellite alignment experience. Figure 7b The satellite connection status interface 10 shown in (c) of FIG. 1 can be folded and displayed in the form of a banner window 11. For example, the satellite connection status interface 10 can be folded in response to a user's sliding operation. The display effect of the satellite connection status interface 10 after folding is as follows: Figure 7b As shown in (d) in the figure, the banner window 11 can also display alignment prompt information, alignment animation, and the current longitude, latitude and altitude of the electronic device.

[0259] Figure 7c The satellite connection status interface 10 shown in (a) may include alignment prompt information, alignment animation, and the current longitude, latitude, and altitude of the electronic device. The alignment prompt information may include "tilt the phone to the right to aim at the satellite until the earth pattern 101 is fully exposed", and the alignment animation may include the animation ae3 of the handheld phone tilting to the right and the animation of the earth pattern 101 being exposed to the right or hidden to the left. As the phone is tilted to the right, the earth pattern 101 may be exposed from the left to the right, and gradually expand until the earth pattern 101 is fully exposed (the earth pattern 101 fills the center circle C1), indicating that the phone is aligned with the Tiantong satellite in the third dimension. The content displayed on the satellite connection status interface 10 may be indicated by Figure 7c The interface shown in (a) is transformed into Figure 7c The interface shown in (b) in the figure. The dynamic effect of the earth pattern 101 being exposed to the right or hidden to the left allows the user to intuitively know whether the mobile phone is aligned with the Tiantong satellite in the third dimension, saving the time of aligning the third dimension angle and improving the user's satellite alignment experience. Figure 7c The satellite connection status interface 10 shown in (a) can also be folded and displayed in the form of a banner window 11.

[0260] After the satellite azimuth alignment is completed, if the pitch angle and the third dimension angle between the electronic device and the Tiantong satellite meet the preset requirements (for example, the earth pattern 101 is completely exposed in the center circle C1), it indicates that there is no need to align the satellite pitch angle and the third dimension angle, and the content displayed on the satellite connection status interface 10 can be changed. Figure 7b The interface shown in (a) is transformed into Figure 7c The interface shown in (b). Figure 7c The satellite connection status interface 10 shown in (b) of FIG. 1 can be folded and displayed in the form of a banner window 11. For example, the satellite connection status interface 10 can be folded in response to a user's sliding operation. The display effect of the satellite connection status interface 10 after folding is as follows: Figure 7c as shown in (c).

[0261] Figure 7c The satellite connection status interface 10 shown in (b) is Figure 6e The satellite connection status interface 10 shown in (a) is the same as that shown in FIG. 1 , and will not be described in detail here.

[0262] In display Figure 7c After the interface shown in (b) in FIG. 1 is displayed, before the countdown ends, if a connection is successfully established with the Tiantong satellite, the content displayed in the satellite connection status interface 10 is as follows: Figure 7c As shown in (d) in . Figure 7c The satellite connection status interface 10 shown in (d) is Figure 6e The satellite connection status interface 10 is the same as that shown in (c) of FIG. 1 and is not described in detail here. Before the countdown ends, if the connection with the Tiantong satellite is not successfully established, the content displayed on the satellite connection status interface 10 is as follows: Figure 7d As shown in (a) in . Figure 7d The satellite connection status interface 10 shown in (a) is similar to Figure 6e The satellite connection status interface 10 shown in (d) is the same as that shown in FIG. 1 , and will not be described in detail here.

[0263] In display Figure 7c After the interface shown in (d) in FIG. 1 is displayed, if the position and / or attitude of the electronic device changes, the satellite signal may be poor and the satellite may need to be realigned. The content displayed in the satellite connection status interface 10 may be changed by Figure 7c The interface shown in (d) is transformed into Figure 7d The interface shown in (b) in the figure prompts the user to realign the satellite. Figure 7d The interface shown in (b) may include realignment prompt information, alignment animation, and the current longitude, latitude, and altitude of the electronic device. The realignment prompt information may include "The device position has shifted. Please align the satellite. The satellite signal is poor. Please move the phone to the right." After the satellite alignment is completed, the content displayed in the satellite connection status interface 10 may be changed to Figure 7d The interface shown in (b) is transformed into Figure 7c The interface shown in (d) in FIG. 1 , or after completing the satellite object, if the pitch angle is not aligned, the content displayed in the satellite connection status interface 10 can be changed by Figure 7d The interface shown in (b) is transformed into Figure 7b or if the third dimension angle is not aligned, the content displayed in the satellite connection status interface 10 may be Figure 7d The interface shown in (b) is transformed into Figure 7c The interface shown in (a).

[0264] In display Figure 7c After the preset time of the interface shown in (d) in FIG. 1 , the satellite connection status interface 10 may be automatically retracted and displayed in the form of a banner window 11, or the satellite connection status interface 10 may be retracted in response to a user's sliding operation and displayed in the form of a banner window 11. The display effect of the satellite connection status interface 10 after retracting is as follows: Figure 7d The preset time length can be set according to actual needs, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit this. For example, the preset time length is 3s. Figure 7d The interface shown in (c) is similar to Figure 6f The interface is the same as that shown in (a) and will not be repeated here.

[0265] After the electronic device successfully establishes a connection with the Tiantong satellite, the user can make satellite phone calls and send satellite text messages.

[0266] Combine the following Figure 8a and 8b A detailed introduction to the operation flow of satellite phone calls. Figure 8c and 8d A detailed introduction to the operational flow chart for sending satellite SMS.

[0267] like Figure 8a As shown in (a), in order to facilitate the user to dial, when the satellite phone dialing interface is displayed, the satellite connection status interface 10 is displayed in the form of a banner window 11 by default. The banner window 11 can move in response to a long press operation performed by the user thereon, and the default display position of the banner window 11 can be the upper area of ​​the satellite phone dialing interface.

[0268] In some embodiments, in order to reduce the visual occlusion effect of the banner window 11 on the underlying interface, the banner window 11 may also be designed to have a semi-transparent display effect.

[0269] like Figure 8a As shown in (b), when the user dials in the keyboard dialing area, the number display area of ​​the satellite phone dialing interface can display the user's dialing numbers, and the banner window 11 can automatically avoid the keyboard dialing area and the number display area to avoid blocking the keyboard dialing area and the number display area, thereby affecting the user's dialing experience.

[0270] For example, if it is detected that the currently displayed interface is a satellite phone dialing interface, and the numbers (0 to 9) or "*" or "#" in the keyboard dialing area receive a user's click operation, the banner window 11 is configured to be displayed in the designated area, and the designated area may refer to the area between the keyboard dialing area and the number display area.

[0271] In some embodiments, for other interfaces displayed by the electronic device, rules for active avoidance of the banner window 11 can also be configured. The avoidance rules can be set based on not affecting the user's operations on the currently displayed interface, so as to reduce the visual impact or operational impact on the user caused by the banner window 11 blocking the content of the lower interface.

[0272] When the user completes inputting the phone number and the call is connected, the interface displays the following content: Figure 8a As shown in (c) in .

[0273] In some embodiments, satellite phones generally do not support functions such as video calls and multi-person calls. Figure 8a The call interface shown in (c) can also remove the options of "Wait", "Add Call" and "Video Call".

[0274] In some embodiments, after the user completes the satellite call, the interface displays content such as Figure 8a As shown in (d) in Figure 8a In the call record interface shown in (d) of FIG. 1 , the call record of the satellite phone has a satellite badge added to it compared to the call record of the call made based on the mobile communication network, which is used to indicate that the call was made by the satellite phone. Figure 8a In the call record interface shown in (d), the call record of the contact "Chu Chu" has a satellite badge 16 added, indicating that the call with "Chu Chu" was a satellite call, and the call record of the contact "Xiao Ge" has no satellite badge, indicating that the call with "Xiao Ge" was made based on the mobile communication network.

[0275] In some embodiments, a satellite badge may also be added to the call record in the call details to indicate that the call was made by a satellite phone.

[0276] like Figure 8b As shown in (a) and (b), it illustrates the interface diagram of receiving a satellite call after the electronic device successfully establishes a connection with the Tiantong satellite.

[0277] like Figure 8b As shown in (a) of FIG. 1 , it is assumed that before receiving a satellite call, the displayed interface is a text message interface, and when receiving a satellite call, it changes to a text message interface. Figure 8b In the incoming call interface shown in (b), the user can click Figure 8b The answer icon in the incoming call interface shown in (b) is used to answer the satellite call, or the hang up icon is used to hang up the satellite call.

[0278] like Figure 8c As shown in (a), it is the satellite SMS homepage, which is basically the same as the original SMS homepage (i.e., the satellite communication function is not enabled), except that the satellite connection status interface 10 is displayed in the form of a banner window 11 on the satellite SMS homepage.

[0279] like Figure 8c (b) in the figure is an interface for conducting a text message conversation with a contact, and the interface can display the text message records (satellite text messages and regular text messages) previously exchanged with the contact. When the user does not enter content in the text message input field, the send button 17 can be gray by default. When the user enters content in the text message input field, the send button 17 can change from gray to a specified color (for example, from gray to green).

[0280] Figure 8c Compared with the conventional SMS conversation interface, the interface shown in (b) adds an option of "carry location and altitude" and a location-altitude display area between the option and the SMS input field. The location-altitude display area can display the longitude, latitude and altitude obtained by the electronic device, for example, Figure 8c As shown in (b) of the figure, "40°10'41 N", 116°10'44 E, 8848 m". The option "Carry location and altitude" can be set to be unchecked by default. If the user checks this option, the satellite SMS to be sent will execute this policy (carry location and altitude information) by default, and other SMS will still be unchecked by default. That is, each time the option "Carry location and altitude" is checked, it will only take effect on the current satellite SMS to be sent.

[0281] In some embodiments, the location and altitude information may be obtained when connected to the Tiantong satellite. To update the location and altitude information, the Tiantong satellite connection may be exited and then reconnected.

[0282] In some embodiments, if the Tiantong satellite fails to obtain the current location and altitude of the electronic device, the location-altitude display area may display "No positioning information obtained".

[0283] In some embodiments, if the user checks the "Carry location and altitude" option, when the user clicks the send button 17, a Figure 8c The prompt box shown in (c) in the figure may include the prompt message "Location information will occupy the number of words in the SMS", "Cancel" and "Confirm to send" options. If the user clicks the "Cancel" option, the satellite SMS will not be sent. If the user clicks the "Confirm to send" option, the satellite SMS will be sent. The interface for sending satellite SMS is as follows Figure 8d As shown in (a) in .

[0284] exist Figure 8d In the interface shown in (a), the progress bar for sending a satellite SMS is basically the same as the progress bar for sending a regular SMS, except that a satellite badge is added. The satellite badge can be displayed on the left side of "Sending" to indicate that the SMS being sent is a satellite SMS.

[0285] If the user enters "I have safely reached the top of the mountain." in the regular SMS input field, the content displayed on the SMS conversation interface after sending will also be "I have safely reached the top of the mountain.". Figure 8d As shown in (a) in the figure, if the user sends a satellite SMS, the content of the SMS is "I have safely reached the top of the mountain.", and the option "Carry location and altitude" is checked, the content displayed on the SMS conversation interface after sending is "[Tiantong satellite message] I have safely reached the top of the mountain. 40°10'41", North latitude, 116°10'44", East longitude, 8848 meters above sea level".

[0286] When the satellite SMS is sent successfully, the interface displays the content. Figure 8d The interface shown in (a) is transformed into Figure 8d In the interface shown in (b), the satellite SMS sending time has a satellite badge added compared to the regular SMS sending time to indicate that the successfully sent SMS is a satellite SMS.

[0287] When the satellite signal becomes poor, satellite SMS may fail to be sent, such as Figure 8d As shown in (c) in the figure, the banner window 11 shows that the satellite signal is poor, and the SMS conversation interface shows that the satellite SMS fails to be sent. The satellite SMS failure time is increased by a satellite badge compared to the regular SMS failure time to indicate that the SMS that failed to be sent is a satellite SMS.

[0288] In some embodiments, when the satellite signal becomes poor (e.g., less than 2 bars of signal) or the connection with the satellite is disconnected, the banner window 11 can be automatically expanded into the satellite connection status interface 10, so that the user can adjust the phone posture according to the prompt information in the satellite connection status interface 10. After the satellite signal is restored to a good state (e.g., 2 bars or more of signal), the satellite connection status interface 10 can be automatically folded into the form of the banner window 11.

[0289] After a satellite SMS fails to be sent, the user can click or long press the failed satellite SMS to resend it. Figure 8d As shown in (d) in FIG. 1 , if the user clicks or long presses a previously failed satellite SMS, a resend prompt box may pop up. The resend prompt box includes a resend prompt message, a "Cancel" option, and a "Resend" option. The resend prompt message includes "Resend or not? It is recommended to send in an open, unobstructed area to increase the success rate." If the user clicks the "Cancel" option, the SMS will not be resent. If the user clicks the "Resend" option, the SMS will be resent.

[0290] In some embodiments, if the user clicks the "Resend" option and the electronic device is currently connected to a satellite, the failed satellite text message can be directly resent. If the user clicks the "Resend" option and the electronic device is currently disconnected from the satellite, it is necessary to re-align the satellite and reconnect to the satellite before resending the failed satellite text message.

[0291] In some embodiments, after the satellite connection status interface 10 is folded, in addition to being displayed in the form of a banner window 11, it can also be displayed in the form of a floating window, a smart capsule, etc.

[0292] In some embodiments, the banner window 11 can also support user control to collapse / automatically collapse into a floating window or smart capsule to minimize the impact of blocking the underlying interface. For example, after entering the call interface for 5 seconds, the banner window 11 automatically collapses into a floating window or smart capsule (Honor's smart capsule display solution, such as Figure 8f ).

[0293] like Figure 8e As shown in (a) of FIG. 1 , a display effect diagram of the floating window 18 is shown. Figure 8e As shown in (b) in FIG. 1 , the floating window 18 can be moved to any position of the current interface following the user's operation (eg, long press operation).

[0294] like Figure 8f As shown in (a) of FIG. 1 , the display effect diagram of the smart capsule 19 is shown. The content displayed by the smart capsule 19 may include satellite corner marks and prompt information (for example, the prompt information may include the status of the satellite signal and whether the connection to the satellite is successful, etc.). Since the display area of ​​the smart capsule 19 is small, the smart capsule 19 may display the prompt information in a scrolling display manner. Figure 8f As shown in (b) in the figure, taking the banner window 11 supporting folding into the smart capsule 19 as an example, when the user clicks on any position of the smart capsule 19, the smart capsule 19 can be expanded into the form of the banner window 11.

[0295] In some embodiments, taking the electronic device supporting dual SIM dual standby (or supporting more SIM cards as communication technology develops) as an example, if the electronic device is in an area without an operator's mobile communication network and is not connected to a satellite, the dialing interface is as follows: Figure 9a As shown in (a) of FIG. 1 , the dial area of ​​the keyboard includes two dial icons 20, each corresponding to a SIM card. When the user makes a call, the call interface is as follows Figure 9a As shown in (b) in the figure, the status bar displays "No Service" and a prompt box pops up, prompting "Unable to access mobile network", and the user cannot successfully make a call. When the user sends a text message, the text message conversation interface is as follows Figure 9a As shown in (c) in the figure, the status bar shows "No Service" and the user cannot send SMS successfully.

[0296] If the electronic device is in an area without a mobile communication network of an operator and is connected to a satellite, the dial-up interface can be Figure 9b As shown in (a) in the figure, the status bar displays the satellite badge, and the keyboard dialing area only displays the dialing icons corresponding to the SIM cards that can make satellite calls, which is convenient for users to initiate satellite calls and avoids using SIM cards that cannot make satellite calls to make satellite calls on the dialing interface, thereby improving the operational efficiency of making satellite calls.

[0297] For example, an electronic device is installed with a first SIM card and a second SIM card, the first SIM card supports the Tiantong satellite communication function, and the second SIM card does not support the Tiantong satellite communication function. The dialing interface uses the first SIM card for dialing by default, and the keyboard dialing area only displays the dialing icon corresponding to the first SIM card. Compared with the solution of displaying two dialing icons, it can avoid the user clicking another dialing icon and failing to initiate a satellite phone call.

[0298] If the electronic device is in an area without a mobile communication network of an operator and is connected to a satellite, the SMS conversation interface can be as follows Figure 9b As shown in (b) in the figure, the status bar displays the satellite corner mark, and the user can Figure 9b The SMS conversation interface shown in (b) in FIG. 1 sends satellite SMS.

[0299] In some embodiments, Figure 9b The SMS conversation interface shown in (b) can also be Figure 8c The interface is the same as that shown in (b) in the figure, showing the option of "Carrying location and altitude".

[0300] In some embodiments, when the user is in an area without a mobile communication network of an operator, the user may not or may forget to turn on the satellite communication function before making a call / sending a text message. The user can be guided to turn on the satellite communication function during the process of making a call / sending a text message, so that the user can make a satellite call / send a satellite text message smoothly without having to Figure 6a The satellite communication function can be enabled by operating methods shown in (a), (b), and (c) to reduce the complexity of making satellite calls / sending satellite text messages and improve the user experience.

[0301] Combine the following Figures 10a to 10d A detailed introduction to the operation flow chart for actively guiding users to enable the satellite communication function when they are making a call or sending a text message.

[0302] like Fig.10a As shown in (a) of FIG. 1 , assuming that the user is currently in an area without a mobile communication network of an operator, and the electronic device has only one SIM card installed, the user operates the electronic device to make a call, and the electronic device displays the following Fig.10a In the dialing interface shown in (a) of FIG. 1 , the status bar displays "No Service". When the user enters a phone number in the dialing area of ​​the keyboard, the electronic device displays Fig.10a In the dialing interface shown in (b) of FIG. 1 , the status bar displays "No Service". When the user completes the phone number input and clicks the dial icon, the electronic device displays the following Fig.10b In the call interface shown in (a) of FIG. 1 , the status bar displays "No Service", and a satellite connection guide prompt box b1 is displayed above the call interface. The satellite connection guide prompt box b1 may include satellite connection guide prompt information, a "Cancel" option, and a "Connect Satellite" option. The satellite connection guide prompt information may include "Unable to access the mobile network, you can try to make a satellite call." If the user clicks the "Cancel" option, it means giving up the attempt to make a satellite call. If the user clicks the "Connect Satellite" option, the electronic device may display the following after successfully connecting to the satellite: Fig.10b The satellite connection status interface 10 shown in (b) of FIG. 1 is a satellite connection status interface 10, and the status bar displays a satellite badge. The satellite connection status interface 10 can be automatically folded into a banner window 11 after a preset time (for example, after 3 seconds) after successfully connecting to the satellite. Fig.10b As shown in (c) in .

[0303] In some embodiments, if the user clicks the "Connect Satellite" option, Fig.10b The satellite connection status interface 10 is opened on the call interface shown in (a) of FIG. 1 , and after searching for satellites, pointing to satellites and connecting (refer to Figures 7a-7d ), the satellite connection status interface 10 is as follows Fig.10b As shown in (b) in .

[0304] like Fig.10b As shown in (c) in the figure, after the electronic device is connected to the satellite, it can successfully make a call through the satellite communication function.

[0305] In some embodiments, Fig.10b The call interface shown in (c) can also display a prompt message 201 of the satellite call time that can be supported by the current power, so that the user can reasonably plan the call time and increase the possibility of successful rescue. For example, the prompt message is "The current power is expected to support x minutes of satellite call".

[0306] In some embodiments, the estimated satellite call duration supported by the current remaining power can be calculated based on the remaining power of the current electronic device (e.g., the remaining percentage power) and the satellite call duration corresponding to the unit power (1% power). For example, a satellite call lasting 3 minutes is estimated to consume 1% of the power, and a full power is expected to support 300 minutes of talk time.

[0307] In some embodiments, the call interface can also display the prompt information 201 of the supported satellite call time in different ways according to different remaining power. For example, if the remaining power of the electronic device is greater than 20%, the display method adopted is: when entering the call interface for more than a1 seconds, a prompt information 201 of the satellite call time that the current power is expected to support appears once, and the prompt information disappears after being displayed for a2 seconds. The values ​​of a1 and a2 can be set according to actual needs, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit this. For example, the value of a1 is 30 and the value of a2 is 20. For example, if the remaining power of the electronic device is 80%, and the user dials a satellite phone and enters the call interface for more than 30 seconds, the prompt information "The current power is expected to support 240 minutes of satellite calls" can be displayed at the bottom area of ​​the call interface at the 30th second of entering the call interface, and the prompt information disappears after being displayed for 20 seconds. It can be understood that if the remaining power of the electronic device changes from 80% to 79% during the continuous display of the prompt information for 20 seconds, the prompt information can be changed to "The current power is expected to support 237 minutes of satellite calls".

[0308] If the remaining power of the electronic device is less than or equal to 20%, the display method used is: when entering the call interface, the prompt information 201 of the estimated satellite call time that the current power can support is displayed in a flashing manner. For example, when the remaining power of the electronic device is 15%, when the user dials a satellite phone and enters the call interface, the prompt information "The current power is expected to support 45 minutes of satellite calls" can be continuously flashed in the bottom area of ​​the call interface, and the prompt information is continuously flashed until the call interface is exited. It can be understood that if the remaining power of the electronic device changes from 15% to 14% during the process of continuously flashing the prompt information, the prompt information can be changed to "The current power is expected to support 42 minutes of satellite calls".

[0309] like Fig.10c As shown in (a) of FIG. 1 , assuming that the user is currently in an area without a mobile communication network of an operator, the user operates an electronic device to send a text message, and the electronic device displays the following Fig.10c In the SMS homepage shown in (a), the status bar displays "No Service". When the user selects the recipient of the SMS, the electronic device displays Fig.10c In the SMS conversation interface shown in (b) of FIG. 1 , the status bar displays "No Service". When the user completes the SMS content input and clicks the send button 17, the electronic device displays the following Fig.10d In the SMS conversation interface shown in (a) of FIG. 1 , the status bar displays "No Service", and a satellite connection guidance prompt box b1 is displayed above the SMS conversation interface. The satellite connection guidance prompt box b1 may include satellite connection guidance prompt information, a "Cancel" option, and a "Connect Satellite" option. The satellite connection guidance prompt information may include "Unable to access the mobile network, you can try to send a satellite SMS." If the user clicks the "Cancel" option, it means giving up the attempt to send a satellite SMS. If the user clicks the "Connect Satellite" option, the electronic device may display the following after successfully connecting to the satellite: Fig.10d The satellite connection status interface 10 shown in (b) of FIG. 1 is a satellite connection status interface 10, and the status bar displays a satellite badge. The satellite connection status interface 10 can be automatically folded into a banner window 11 after a preset time (for example, after 3 seconds) after successfully connecting to the satellite. Fig.10d As shown in (c) in .

[0310] In some embodiments, if the user clicks the "Connect Satellite" option, Fig.10d The satellite connection status interface 10 is opened on the SMS conversation interface shown in (a) of FIG. 1 , and after searching for satellites, pointing to satellites and connecting (refer to Figures 7a-7d ), the satellite connection status interface 10 is as follows Fig.10d As shown in (b) in .

[0311] like Fig.10d As shown in (c) in the figure, after the electronic device is connected to the satellite, it can successfully send text messages through the satellite communication function.

[0312] In some embodiments, there may be a situation where there is no operator's mobile communication network in indoor environments (for example, underground parking lots, basements, etc.). In this situation, due to the obstruction of buildings, electronic devices generally cannot establish a connection with the Tiantong satellite, and this situation generally does not belong to a scenario requiring rescue. The premise for actively guiding users to turn on the satellite communication function during the process of making a call or sending a text message can also include detecting that the electronic device is currently outdoors rather than indoors.

[0313] For example, the electronic device may be enabled to actively measure a global positioning system (GPS) signal, and determine whether the current location of the electronic device is indoors or outdoors based on information of a plurality of measured GPS signals.

[0314] For example, the electronic device can also obtain wireless network signal information, determine the wireless network signal information group to which the electronic device belongs based on the wireless network signal information, and then determine the position corresponding to the wireless network signal information group based on the mapping relationship between the wireless network signal information group and the identification model, so as to obtain the current position of the electronic device. The wireless network signal information may include one or any combination of the following: timing advance (TA), direction of arrival (DoA), and reference signal receiving power (RSRP) of the serving cell. The identification model records the positions (indoors or outdoors) of electronic devices corresponding to different wireless network signal information groups, wherein the positions of each electronic device corresponding to the same wireless network signal information group are the same.

[0315] In some embodiments, since satellite phone or satellite SMS is generally used when the user is in extreme conditions to get in touch with the outside world, the power of the electronic device is relatively precious. In order to increase the possibility of successful rescue of the user, the electronic device can prompt the user in the form of a pop-up window whether to turn on the power saving mode, or automatically turn on the power saving mode, when it detects that the user has made a satellite connection (searching for satellites, pointing at satellites), or sent a satellite SMS, or made a satellite phone call, and there is currently no mobile communication network.

[0316] like Fig.11 As shown, when the electronic device detects that the user has made a satellite call and there is no mobile communication network, it prompts the user in the form of a pop-up box whether to turn on the super power saving mode. The pop-up box 21 may include prompt information for prompting the user to turn on the super power saving mode and an option of "turn on super power saving mode". The prompt information may include "Using super power saving mode can greatly save power. It is detected that you have just made a satellite call." If the user clicks the option of "turn on super power saving mode", the electronic device turns on the super power saving mode.

[0317] In some embodiments, the electronic device can shut down the previously activated satellite communication function in a variety of ways. For example, after the user is rescued, or the user is in an area where a mobile communication network exists, the user no longer needs to use the satellite communication function.

[0318] like Fig.12 As shown in the figure, it is shown that the electronic device can exit the satellite communication function in four ways. Fig.12 As shown in (a), if the electronic device has been disconnected from the satellite for a3 seconds, a prompt box 22 may pop up to prompt that the Tiantong satellite communication is about to be exited. The value of a3 can be set according to actual needs, and the embodiment of the present application is not limited to this. For example, the value of a3 is 60s. The prompt box 22 may include a prompt message for prompting the user that the electronic device is about to turn off the satellite communication function, and the options of "continue to use" and "exit (x seconds)". The prompt message may include "not connected to the satellite for 60s, and Tiantong satellite communication is about to be exited". If the user does not click the "continue to use" option before the exit countdown of x seconds (for example, 10s), the electronic device will automatically turn off the satellite communication function. If the user clicks the "continue to use" option before the exit countdown of x seconds, the electronic device can try to establish a connection with the Tiantong satellite again.

[0319] like Fig.12 As shown in (b), the user can also click the "Disconnect" control displayed on the "Satellite Network" APP interface to actively disconnect the connection between the electronic device and the Tiantong satellite and exit the Tiantong satellite communication.

[0320] like Fig.12 As shown in (c) in the figure, the user can also click the "×" option in the upper right corner of the satellite connection status interface 10 to actively disconnect the connection between the electronic device and the Tiantong satellite and exit the Tiantong satellite communication.

[0321] like Fig.12 As shown in (d) in the figure, the user can also click the "Disconnect" control in the notification bar to actively disconnect the connection between the electronic device and the Tiantong satellite and exit the Tiantong satellite communication.

[0322] In some embodiments, after the electronic device establishes a connection with the Tiantong satellite, a permanent notification may be added to the notification bar on the lock screen interface. The display style of the notification may be as follows: Fig.12 As shown in (d) in the figure, the user can quickly make a satellite call, send a satellite text message, and actively disconnect the electronic device from the Tiantong satellite through the permanent notification. The status bar on the lock screen interface can display the satellite badge and the words "Tiantong Satellite" to let the user know that the electronic device is currently connected to the Tiantong satellite.

[0323] Reference Fig.13 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides an interface display method, which is applied to an electronic device. The interface display method may include:

[0324] S131, when the electronic device cannot access the mobile communication network, in response to a user clicking on a first icon in a first page displayed by the electronic device, a first window is opened, the first window including a first option for connecting to a satellite.

[0325] S132, in response to the user clicking the first option, establishing a communication connection with the satellite, and executing a service corresponding to the first icon.

[0326] In some embodiments, the electronic device can successfully execute the service corresponding to the first icon only when it can access the mobile communication network or establish a connection with the satellite. For example, the service corresponding to the first icon is to make a call or send a text message. The first icon may refer to a dial icon on a dialing interface or a send button on a text message conversation interface. When the electronic device can access the mobile communication network, the service corresponding to the first icon is to make a call or send a text message based on the mobile communication network. When the electronic device cannot access the mobile communication network and establishes a communication connection with the satellite, the service corresponding to the first icon is to make a satellite call or send a satellite text message based on the satellite.

[0327] When the electronic device cannot access the mobile communication network, the user clicks the first icon in the first page, and the electronic device can open a first window for guiding the user to connect the electronic device to a satellite (e.g., Tiantong satellite). After the user clicks the first option, the electronic device can try to establish a communication connection with the satellite. If the electronic device successfully establishes a communication connection with the satellite, the electronic device can successfully execute the service corresponding to the first icon. Fig.10b As shown in (a), the first option may refer to the "Connect Satellite" option.

[0328] In some embodiments, taking the first page as a dialing interface as an example, in response to a user clicking on a first icon (dial icon) in the dialing interface displayed by the electronic device, a call interface is displayed, and a first window is opened, and the first window covers part of the content of the call interface. Fig.10b As shown in (a) in FIG. 1 , the first window may refer to a satellite connection guide prompt box displayed on the call interface.

[0329] In some embodiments, Fig.10b As shown in (c) in the figure, the call interface may also display a prompt message indicating the estimated call time that the remaining power of the electronic device can support.

[0330] In some embodiments, when the remaining power of the electronic device is greater than the preset power, the call interface displays a prompt message of the estimated call time that the remaining power of the electronic device can support in a first display mode; when the remaining power of the electronic device is less than or equal to the preset power, the call interface displays a prompt message of the estimated call time that the remaining power of the electronic device can support in a second display mode different from the first display mode. The preset power can be set according to actual needs, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit this. For example, the preset power is 20%, and the first display mode is: when entering the call interface for more than a1 seconds, a prompt message of the estimated call time that the current remaining power can support appears once, and the prompt message disappears after being displayed for a2 seconds. The second display mode is: when entering the call interface, the prompt message of the estimated call time that the current remaining power can support is displayed in a flashing manner, and the user is warned by different prompts of power, which can remind the user to pay attention to retaining power and avoid consuming too much power. a1 and a2 are preset values, which can be set or modified according to actual applications.

[0331] In some embodiments, the electronic device may be installed with a first SIM card and a second SIM card, such as Figure 9a As shown in (a) of FIG. 1 , when the electronic device is not connected to a satellite or when no SIM card is set to connect to a satellite, the dialing interface includes a first dialing icon corresponding to the first SIM card and a second dialing icon corresponding to the second SIM card. Figure 9b As shown in (a), when the electronic device establishes a communication connection with the satellite based on the first SIM card, the dialing interface may only display the first dialing icon corresponding to the first SIM card. Or when the electronic device establishes a communication connection with the satellite based on the second SIM card, the dialing interface may only display the second dialing icon corresponding to the second SIM card.

[0332] In some embodiments, taking the first page as an SMS conversation interface as an example, in response to a user clicking a first icon (a send button in the SMS conversation interface) in the SMS conversation interface displayed by the electronic device, a first window is opened, and the first window covers part of the content of the SMS conversation interface. Fig.10d As shown in (a) in the figure, the first window is a satellite connection guidance prompt box displayed on the SMS conversation interface.

[0333] In some embodiments, since there may be no operator's mobile communication network in indoor environments (for example, underground parking lots, basements, etc.), in this case, due to the obstruction of buildings, the electronic device is generally unable to establish a connection with the Tiantong satellite, and this situation generally does not belong to a scenario requiring rescue. When the electronic device detects that it is in an outdoor location and cannot access the mobile communication network, it can open the first window in response to the user clicking the first icon in the first page.

[0334] In some embodiments, after executing the service corresponding to the first icon, for example, after ending a satellite call or completing the sending of a satellite text message, the electronic device may open a second window, the second window including a second option for opening a power saving mode, and the electronic device may also open the power saving mode in response to a user clicking the second option. Fig.11 As shown, the second window may be a pop-up window for prompting the user whether to turn on the super power saving mode, and the second option may be an option of "turning on the super power saving mode". After executing the service corresponding to the first icon and detecting that there is no mobile communication network, the electronic device may also open the second window to remind the user whether to turn on the power saving mode to save the power of the electronic device.

[0335] In some embodiments, establishing a communication connection with a satellite may include a process of searching for satellites, aligning satellites, and connecting. The third window may refer to a satellite connection status interface. In response to a user clicking on the first option, establishing a communication connection with a satellite may include: in response to a user clicking on the first option, opening a third window, the third window including an alignment pattern and an alignment area for displaying the alignment pattern, such as Figure 7b As shown in (c), the alignment pattern may be a pattern of the earth, and the alignment area may refer to a center circle; in response to the user's operation of adjusting the posture of the electronic device, the alignment pattern is moved so that the alignment pattern is partially displayed in the alignment area, or is fully displayed in the alignment area; when the alignment pattern is fully displayed in the alignment area, a communication connection is established with the satellite.

[0336] In some embodiments, the user's operation of adjusting the posture of the electronic device may include tilting the electronic device upward or downward to align the pitch angle with the satellite. The user's operation of adjusting the posture of the electronic device may also include tilting the electronic device to the right or left to align the third dimension angle with the satellite. In response to the user's operation of adjusting the posture of the electronic device, moving the alignment pattern so that the alignment pattern is partially displayed in the alignment area, or all displayed in the alignment area may include: in response to the user's operation of tilting the electronic device upward or downward, controlling the alignment pattern to move upward to be exposed in the alignment area, or controlling the alignment pattern to move downward to disappear from the alignment area. In response to the user's operation of adjusting the posture of the electronic device, moving the alignment pattern so that the alignment pattern is partially displayed in the alignment area, or all displayed in the alignment area may also include: in response to the user's operation of tilting the electronic device to the right or left, controlling the alignment pattern to move to the right to be exposed in the alignment area, or controlling the alignment pattern to move to the left to disappear from the alignment area.

[0337] In some embodiments, the third window can also be folded into a preset display form, and the preset display form is any one of a banner window, a floating window, and a smart capsule. For example, the electronic device can fold the third window into a preset display form in response to a user's sliding operation on the third window, or automatically fold the third window into a preset display form after a preset time (e.g., 5 seconds) of establishing a communication connection with a satellite, and automatically expand the third window from the preset display form to the original form (unfolded display state) when the communication connection with the satellite is disconnected.

[0338] In some embodiments, if the third window in the preset display form is displayed on the second page, the electronic device can also move the third window in the preset display form from the first position to the second position different from the first position in response to the user's click operation on the second page, so as to achieve the visual impact or operational impact caused by the third window in the preset display form blocking the content of the second page on the user. For example, the second page is a dialing interface. Before dialing, the dialing interface will not display the number display area. The third window in the preset display form is generally located in the upper half area (first position) of the dialing interface. When the user dials in the keyboard dialing area, the dialing interface can display the number display area, and the number display area is also located in the upper half area of ​​the dialing interface, resulting in the third window in the preset display form blocking the number display area, causing the user to be unable to clearly see the content of the number display area. The third window in the preset display form can be moved from the first position to the second position. The second position can refer to the area between the keyboard dialing area and the number display area, thereby preventing the third window in the preset display form from blocking the keyboard dialing area and the number display area.

[0339] Reference Fig.14 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides an interface display method, which is applied to an electronic device. The interface display method may include:

[0340] S141, in response to the user's satellite connection operation, establishing a communication connection with a satellite.

[0341] For example, satellite link operations may include Figure 6a to Figure 6e The portion of operation shown enables the electronic device to establish a communication link with the satellite.

[0342] S142: In response to a click operation of a user on a first page displayed on the electronic device, move the first window from a first position to a second position different from the first position.

[0343] The first window is used to display the connection status of the electronic device and the satellite. The first window covers part of the content of the first page, and the first window is displayed on the first page in a preset display form. The preset display form is any one of a banner window, a floating window, and a smart capsule. The electronic device can move the first window from a first position to a second position in response to a user's click operation on the first page to reduce the visual impact or operational impact on the user caused by the first window in the preset display form blocking the content of the first page.
