Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of communication technologies, and in particular, to a customer terminal device, a control method thereof, and a computer-readable storage medium. Background Art

[0002] A Customer Premise Equipment (CPE) is a wireless broadband access device, that is, a device that converts a high-speed Long Term Evolution (LTE) signal into a WiFi signal commonly used by mobile terminals such as tablets, smartphones, and laptops, and can support multiple terminals to access the Internet simultaneously; it is also a data backhaul device that transmits user videos and data back to the public network or private network through the wireless LTE signal and then transmits them to the customer data processing center.

[0003] Currently, the antennas for CPE to communicate with the base station are mainly divided into two types: directional antennas and omnidirectional antennas. Since the application scenarios of CPE are mainly places where the signal reception is weak and the distance from the base station is far, directional antennas are generally used. Moreover, 5G antennas are mainly divided into two ranges: Sub-6GHz and millimeter waves. Because of their different wavelengths, radio wave frequencies, and characteristics, each has its own applicability. Therefore, there will be two types of directional antennas, Sub-6GHz and millimeter waves, in CPE.

[0004] Outdoor CPE has high directivity and strict requirements for the installation scenario, resulting in high loading, unloading, and maintenance costs, and the changes in the surrounding environment have a greater impact on the performance of the product. Currently, the CPEs on the market have weak adaptability to environmental changes and complex installations.

[0005] In order to avoid being affected by the building structure, indoor CPE needs to face the signal receiving antenna towards a direction with relatively weak signal influence, such as a window. This requires adjusting the body direction so that the signal receiving antenna faces the best signal source direction to receive the best signal point. At this time, the angle of the signal transmitting antenna changes with the change of the body direction, and it is difficult to balance the received and transmitted signals. Summary of the Invention

[0006] This application aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the related technologies, and proposes a customer terminal device, a control method thereof, and a computer-readable storage medium, which are used to solve at least the problems of high loading, unloading, and maintenance costs, weak adaptability to environmental changes, complex installation, and difficulty in balancing the received and transmitted signals in the related technologies.

[0007] To achieve the above object, in a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a customer terminal device, including a first housing, a second housing, and a rotating structure. The first housing and the second housing are rotatably connected through the rotating structure, and the rotating structure is used to adjust the included angle between the first housing and the second housing.

[0008] The customer terminal device further includes an antenna module, a main board module, and a data transmission module. Among them, the main board module is disposed in the first housing or the second housing; the antenna module includes at least one signal transmitting unit and at least one signal receiving unit. The at least one signal transmitting unit is disposed in the first housing; the at least one signal receiving unit is disposed in the second housing; and one of the at least one signal transmitting unit and the at least one signal receiving unit that is located in a different housing from the main board module is connected to the main board module through the data transmission module.

[0009] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present application further provides a control method for a customer terminal device, which is applied to the above customer terminal device provided by the embodiment of the present application. The method includes:

[0010] When the first housing in the customer terminal device is installed on an outdoor wall corresponding to the user's usage environment, control the rotating structure to drive the second housing to rotate, so that at least one of the signal receiving units located in the second housing faces the optimal signal source receiving direction.

Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described can be combined in a suitable manner in any one or more embodiments or examples.

[0042] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , the embodiment of the present application provides a customer terminal device, including a first housing 1, a second housing 2, and a rotating structure 3. The first housing 1 and the second housing 2 are rotatably connected through the rotating structure 3, and the rotating structure 3 is used to adjust the included angle between the first housing 1 and the second housing 2. In some embodiments, the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 are both rectangular housings, for example. One side of the two is rotatably connected through the above rotating structure 3, so that the two rectangular housings can be folded or unfolded with each other. By "folding with each other", it means that the two surfaces of the two rectangular housings facing each other are stacked on each other; by "unfolding with each other", it means that the two surfaces of the two rectangular housings facing each other are separated into different included angles, and this included angle can vary, for example, within a range greater than 0° and less than or equal to 270° (when the two surfaces of the two rectangular housings facing each other are stacked on each other, the included angle is equal to 0°). It should be noted that the embodiment of the present application is not limited to using rectangular housings, and other arbitrary shapes can also be used, and the shapes of the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 can be the same or different. In addition, the range of the angle change between the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 can also be freely set.

[0043] The customer terminal device further includes an antenna module, a main board module 4, and a data transmission module 6. Among them, the main board module 4 is disposed in the first housing 1 or the second housing 2, for example, inside the first housing 1 or the second housing 2, Figures 1 to 3 the main board module 4 in

[0044] The antenna module includes at least one signal transmitting unit 51 and at least one signal receiving unit 52. At least one signal transmitting unit 51 is disposed in the first housing 1. For example, the signal transmitting unit 51 is disposed inside the first housing 1, and the transmitting surface is exposed to the outside of the first housing 1. At least one signal receiving unit 52 is disposed in the second housing 2. For example, the signal receiving unit 52 is disposed inside the second housing 2, and the transmitting surface is exposed to the outside of the second housing 2. Moreover, the transmitting surfaces of the signal transmitting unit 51 and the signal receiving unit 52 are respectively located on two opposite surfaces of the first housing 1 and the second housing 2, for example, so as to ensure that the transmitting surfaces of the signal transmitting unit 51 and the signal receiving unit 52 can face the external environment without being blocked by the housing.

[0045] In some embodiments, at least one signal transmitting unit 51 includes a 4G signal transmitting unit and / or a 5G signal transmitting unit; Figures 1 to 3 Two signal transmitting units 51 are shown in, which are a 4G signal transmitting unit and / or a 5G signal transmitting unit respectively. At least one signal receiving unit 52 includes a 4G signal receiving unit and / or a 5G signal receiving unit. Figures 1 to 3 Two signal receiving units 52 are shown in, which are a 4G signal receiving unit and / or a 5G signal receiving unit respectively. It is easy to understand that if a 4G signal transmitting unit is provided, a corresponding 4G signal receiving unit should be provided; if a 5G signal transmitting unit is provided, a corresponding 5G signal receiving unit should be provided.

[0046] At least one signal transmitting unit 51 or at least one signal receiving unit 52 is connected to the main board module 4 through the data transmission module 6. Taking the main board module 4 being disposed in the first housing 1 as an example, the main board module 4 and at least one signal transmitting unit 51 are located in the same housing, and they can be connected without passing through the data transmission module 6. However, the main board module 4 and at least one signal receiving unit 52 are located in different housings, and they need to be connected through the data transmission module 6. The data transmission module 6 is used to realize data transmission between the main board module 4 and at least one signal receiving unit 52, and at the same time, it can keep the main board module 4 and at least one signal receiving unit 52 connected when the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 rotate relative to each other. The data transmission module 6 for realizing this function is, for example, a flexible cable, a flexible circuit board, and so on.

[0047] By respectively disposing at least one signal transmitting unit 51 and at least one signal receiving unit 52 in different housings, after determining the approximate orientation of the optimal signal source of at least one signal transmitting unit 51, the wall turning surface 13 facing the optimal signal source and the user usage environment can be determined, that is, the position for fixing the first housing 1 can be determined. As Figure 1As shown, the wall turning surface 13 is composed of, for example, two walls forming a right angle. The first housing 1 is fixed to one of the walls and near the corner between this wall and the other wall, so that the second housing 2 can extend out of the wall from this corner, facilitating an increased rotation range. After fixing the first housing 1, the second housing 2 is rotated relative to the first housing 1 through the rotation structure 3 to adjust the angle between the first housing 1 and the second housing 2, so that at least one signal receiving unit 52 rotates to the optimal receiving direction of the above signal source, hereinafter referred to as the optimal signal source receiving direction. In this way, at least one signal transmitting unit 51 and at least one signal receiving unit 52 can both face their respective optimal directions, enabling the performance of both to reach the best state and achieving a balance in receiving and transmitting signals. On this basis, when the client terminal device provided in the embodiment of the present application is applied outdoors, only the position of the first housing 1 needs to be fixed and the relative angle of the second housing 2 needs to be adjusted to complete the installation. When maintenance is required, only the relative angle of the second housing 2 needs to be adjusted, thereby simplifying the loading, unloading, and maintenance processes of the device, reducing the loading, unloading, and maintenance costs, and having a high adaptability to environmental changes at the same time. When the client terminal device provided in the embodiment of the present application is applied indoors, the second housing 2 and / or the first housing 1 can be rotated through the rotation structure 3 so that when the device is placed at a corresponding position indoors (such as the table 15), at least one signal receiving unit 52 located in the second housing 2 faces the optimal signal source receiving direction, and at least one signal transmitting unit 51 located in the first housing 1 faces the user's usage environment. Moreover, the angle between the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 can ensure the stable placement of the whole machine.

[0048] In some embodiments, the rotating structure 3 can be switched between a first state and a second state, and in the first state, the rotating structure 3 causes the first shell 1 and the second shell 2 to rotate relative to each other to adjust the angle between the first shell 1 and the second shell 2; in the second state, the rotating structure 3 locks the relative position of the first shell 1 and the second shell 2. In this way, after adjusting the angle between the first shell 1 and the second shell 2 to reach the target angle, the rotating structure 3 can be switched to the second state to lock the relative position of the first shell 1 and the second shell 2, so that the angle can be fixed at the target angle. Further optionally, the rotating structure 3 that realizes the above function includes a rotating shaft and a locking component 7, and the first shell 1 and the second shell 2 are rotatably connected through the rotating shaft; the locking component 7 is used to limit the rotation of the rotating shaft in the second state; and to release the restriction on the rotation of the rotating shaft in the first state. The locking component 7 is, for example, a set screw, which can be tightened to abut against the rotating shaft, so that a friction force that can limit the rotation of the rotating shaft can be formed between the rotating shaft and the rotating shaft; when the set screw is loosened, it is separated from the rotating shaft to contact and limit the rotation of the rotating shaft. Specifically, the shaft may include a shaft body and a shaft fixing portion rotatably connected to the shaft, one of the first shell 1 and the second shell 2 is connected to the shaft body, and the other is connected to the shaft fixing portion, a screw hole is provided on the shaft fixing portion, the set screw is passed through the threaded hole and is threadedly connected to the threaded hole, and when the set screw is tightened on the shaft fixing portion, one end thereof abuts against the shaft body; when the set screw is loosened, one end thereof is separated from the shaft body. It should be noted that the rotating structure 3 realizing the above-mentioned function may also adopt other structures, and the embodiment of the present application has no particular limitation on this.

[0049] In some embodiments, the locking component 7 is configured to switch between the first state and the second state based on user operation. Taking the locking component 7 as the above-mentioned set screw as an example, the switching between the first state and the second state can be achieved based on the user tightening or loosening the set screw, and specifically, an auxiliary tool (such as a screwdriver) 14 can be used to tighten or loosen the set screw. However, the embodiments of the present application are not limited to this. In actual applications, the locking component 7 can also be automatically driven to switch between the first state and the second state by a rotating drive such as a motor, for example, automatically driving the set screw to tighten or loosen.

[0050] In some other embodiments, the rotating structure 3 may further include a rotating shaft and a driving component 8. The first housing 1 and the second housing 2 are rotatably connected by the rotating shaft. The driving component 8 is connected to the rotating shaft and is used to drive the rotating shaft to rotate so as to adjust the included angle between the first housing 1 and the second housing 2. In some embodiments, one of the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft, and the other is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft. In this case, the first housing 1 or the second housing 2 fixedly connected to the rotating shaft can rotate synchronously with the rotating shaft, while the second housing 2 or the first housing 1 rotatably connected to the rotating shaft is relatively stationary, so that the included angle between the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 can be adjusted. However, the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto. In practical applications, both the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 may also be rotatably connected to the rotating shaft, that is, both can rotate to adjust the included angle between the first housing 1 and the second housing 2.

[0051] Moreover, the driving component 8 is configured to lock the angular position of the rotating shaft when it stops driving the rotating shaft to rotate. That is to say, the driving component 8 has a self-locking function to lock the angular position of the rotating shaft. The driving component 8 is, for example, a motor with a self-locking function. Specifically, taking the example that one of the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft and the other is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft, the above-mentioned rotating shaft may also include a rotating shaft main body and a rotating shaft fixing part rotatably connected to the rotating shaft. One of the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 is connected to the rotating shaft main body, and the other is connected to the rotating shaft fixing part, that is, one of the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft, and the other is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft. In this case, the driving component 8 is used to drive the rotating shaft main body to rotate.

[0052] In some other embodiments, as Figure 2 shown, when the rotating structure 3 includes a rotating shaft and a driving component 8, the above-mentioned locking component 7 may further be included. At this time, the driving component 8 may not need to have a self-locking function. After the driving component 8 drives the rotating shaft to rotate to the target position, the angular position of the rotating shaft can be locked by the locking component 7.

[0053] In some embodiments, in order to protect the data transmission module 6 and prevent the data transmission module 6 from being exposed outside, which may affect the user operation and aesthetics, a connection channel is provided in the rotating shaft. The two ends of the connection channel are respectively communicated with the interiors of the first housing 1 and the second housing 2; the data transmission module 6 is disposed through the connection channel, and one end of the data transmission module 6 extends into the housing where the main board module 4 is located and is connected to the main board module 4, and the other end of the data transmission module 6 extends into the other housing and is connected to at least one signal transmitting unit 51 or at least one signal receiving unit 52 (i.e., one of the units located in a housing different from the main board module 4). Taking the example that the main board module 4 is disposed inside the first housing 1, one end of the data transmission module 6 extends into the first housing 1 and is connected to the main board module 4, and the other end of the data transmission module 6 extends into the second housing 2 and is connected to at least one signal receiving unit 52. It should be noted that as Figure 2 shown, the data transmission module 6 can also be disposed outside the rotating shaft. For example, a hollow portion is provided in the rotating shaft to accommodate the data transmission module 6.

[0054] In some embodiments, the client terminal device further includes a first indicator light 9 disposed on the second housing 2. The first indicator light 9 is connected to the main board module 4 and, in the case of being located in a housing different from the main board module 4, is connected to the main board module 4 through the data transmission module 6 and is used to display the signal reception strength. There can be multiple first indicator lights 9. In this case, the signal reception strength can be determined by judging the number of lit first indicator lights 9. For example, the more the lit first indicator lights 9, the stronger the signal reception strength; conversely, the fewer the lit first indicator lights 9, the weaker the signal reception strength. Of course, in practical applications, according to specific requirements, the first indicator light 9 can also be disposed on the first housing 1.

[0055] In some embodiments, the client terminal device further includes a second indicator light 10 disposed on the first housing 1. The second indicator light 10 is connected to the main board module 4 and, in the case of being located in a housing different from the main board module 4, is connected to the main board module 4 through the data transmission module 6 and is used to indicate whether the WIFI signal is normal. The second indicator light 10 can, for example, indicate whether the WIFI signal is normal by displaying different lighting colors and / or display states. For example, displaying green indicates that the WIFI signal is normal, displaying yellow indicates that the WIFI signal is weak, and displaying red indicates that the WIFI signal is disconnected. Another example is that if it continuously displays green, it indicates that the WIFI signal is normal, and if it flashes and displays yellow, it indicates that the WIFI signal is weak. Of course, in practical applications, according to specific requirements, the second indicator light 10 can also be disposed on the second housing 2.

[0056] In some embodiments, the customer terminal device further includes an external interface 11 and a power interface 12 disposed on the first housing 1. The external interface 11 is connected to the main board module 4 and is used to connect external network cables, data cables, etc. The power interface 12 is connected to the main board module 4 and is used to connect an external power cord. The external interface 11 and the power interface 12 can be distributed on the same side or multiple different sides of the first housing 1 according to specific needs. Moreover, the positions of the external interface 11 and the power interface 12 can also be determined according to whether it is applied outdoors or indoors. For example, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, when the customer terminal device provided by the embodiment of the present application is applied outdoors, the external interface 11 and the power interface 12 can both be located on the lower side of the first housing 1. When the customer terminal device provided by the embodiment of the present application is applied indoors, as Figure 3 shown, the external interface 11 and the power interface 12 can both be located on the opposite side of the first housing 1 away from the rotating structure 3.

[0057] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 described, the customer terminal device further includes a fixing bracket 16. When the customer terminal device provided by the embodiment of the present application is applied outdoors, first, it is powered on, and the approximate orientation of the best signal source is determined by observing the state of the first indicator light 9 (for example, observing the number of lit first indicator lights 9). Then, a wall turning surface 13 that can face the best signal source and the user's usage environment respectively is selected; the fixing bracket 16 is fixed to the wall turning surface 13. After that, the second housing 2 is unfolded relative to the first housing 1, and the second housing 2 equipped with at least one signal receiving unit 52 is fixed to the fixing bracket 16, thereby realizing the position fixation of the second housing 2. Then, the relative angle of the second housing 2 can be adjusted through the rotating structure 3 (for example, controlling the driving component 8 to drive the rotating shaft to rotate), and at the same time, observing the state of the first indicator light 9 (for example, observing the number of lit first indicator lights 9) to determine the best receiving direction, that is, the best signal source receiving direction. After the best signal source receiving direction is determined, the rotating structure 3 is switched to the second state, that is, the relative position of the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 is locked. For example, a tightening screw is tightened using an auxiliary tool (such as a screwdriver) 14. At this time, the entire installation process of the customer terminal device outdoors is completed. This installation process is simple, convenient for the loading, unloading, and maintenance of the device, thereby reducing the loading, unloading, and maintenance costs, and at the same time having a high adaptability to environmental changes.

[0058] When the client terminal device provided by the embodiment of the present application is applied indoors, after it is powered on, the first housing 1 and / or the second housing 2 can be driven by the rotating structure 3 (for example, controlling the driving component 8 to drive the rotating shaft to rotate), and at the same time, observe the state of the first indicator light 9 (for example, observe the number of lit first indicator lights 9) to determine the optimal signal source receiving direction. After the optimal signal source receiving direction is determined, the rotating structure 3 is switched to the second state, that is, the relative positions of the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 are locked. For example, use an auxiliary tool (such as a screwdriver) to tighten the set screw. After that, when the device is placed at the corresponding position indoors (such as the desktop 15), at least one signal receiving unit 52 located on the second housing 2 faces the optimal signal source receiving direction, and at least one signal transmitting unit 51 located on the first housing 2 faces the user's usage environment. Moreover, the included angle between the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 can ensure that the whole machine is stably placed, and at this time, the entire installation process of the client terminal device indoors is completed.

[0059] As another implementation, please refer to Figure 4 , the embodiment of the present application also provides a control method for a client terminal device, which is applied to the above-mentioned client terminal device provided by the embodiment of the present application. The method includes:

[0060] Step 100, when the first housing 1 in the client terminal device is installed on an outdoor wall corresponding to the user's usage environment (such as the above-mentioned wall turning surface 13), control the rotating structure 3 to drive the second housing 2 to rotate, so that at least one signal receiving unit 52 located on the second housing 2 faces the optimal signal source receiving direction.

[0061] In some embodiments, in the above step 100, the optimal signal source receiving direction can be determined by obtaining the reception intensity information of the signal source, and the rotating structure 3 is automatically controlled to drive the second housing 2 to rotate until at least one signal receiving unit 52 located on the second housing 2 faces the optimal signal source receiving direction. The reception intensity information of the above signal source can be obtained by receiving the information input by the user, or can also be obtained by detection devices such as sensors. However, the embodiment of the present application is not limited thereto. In practical applications, on this basis, the rotating structure 3 can also be controlled to drive the second housing 2 to rotate according to the target value of the included angle between the first housing 1 and the second housing 2 input by the user until the included angle reaches the target value.

[0062] In addition, during use, the new optimal signal source receiving direction can also be determined by obtaining the change of the reception intensity information of the signal source in real time, and the rotating structure 3 is automatically controlled to drive the second housing 2 to rotate.

[0063] As another implementation, please refer to Figure 5, an embodiment of the present application further provides a control method for a customer terminal device, which is applied to the above customer terminal device provided by the embodiment of the present application. The method includes:

[0064] Step 200, control the rotating structure 3 to drive the first housing 1 and / or the second housing 2 to rotate, so that when the customer terminal device is placed at a designated position in the room (such as the desktop 15), at least one signal receiving unit 52 located in the second housing 2 faces the optimal signal source receiving direction, and at least one signal transmitting unit 51 located in the first housing 1 faces the user usage environment.
