The embodiments of this application do not limit this.

[0073] Taking the converged communication system configured in a terminal as an example, the AP chip 101 is the main chip of the terminal. The AP chip 101 is respectively connected to the satellite communication module 102 and the wireless communication module 103. The AP chip 101 is used to control the switching of communication modes. The satellite communication module 102 is used to provide satellite communication functions for the terminal, and the wireless communication module 103 is used to provide cellular communication functions or short-range communication functions for the terminal.

For the specific connection situation of the communication control module 104, please refer to the following Solution 1 and Solution 2.

[0076] Solution 1: When the communication control module 104 is deployed between the satellite communication module 102 and the AP chip 101, the first end of the communication control module 104 is connected to the wireless communication module 103, the second end of the communication control module 104 is connected to the AP chip 101, and the third end of the communication control module 104 is connected to the satellite communication module 102; the communication control module 104 is configured to disconnect the circuit connection between the satellite communication module 102 and the AP chip 101 based on the first signal sent by the wireless communication module 103, so as to turn off the satellite communication function of the satellite communication module 102. Wherein, the first signal is a control signal output by the wireless communication module 103 when any one of the cellular communication function and the short-range communication function switches from the off state to the on state, and this control signal is used to control the communication control module 104 to be in the disconnected state. Therefore, when the communication control module 104 is deployed between the satellite communication module 102 and the AP chip 101, the communication control module 104 can disconnect the circuit connection between the satellite communication module 102 and the AP chip 101 based on the first signal. Since this circuit connection is located at the input end of the satellite communication module 102, by disconnecting this circuit connection, the terminal can stop supplying power to the satellite communication module 102, so that the terminal can physically turn off the satellite communication function of the satellite communication module 102, avoiding the situation that high-power satellite signals enter the wireless communication due to the simultaneous activation of satellite communication and wireless communication, resulting in damage to the wireless communication components, and solving the coexistence problem between wireless communication and satellite communication.

[0077] Solution 2: When the communication control module 104 is deployed between the satellite communication module 102 and the satellite power amplifier module 105, the first end of the communication control module 104 is connected to the wireless communication module 103, the second end of the communication control module 104 is connected to the satellite communication module 102, and the third end of the communication control module 104 is connected to the satellite power amplifier module 105. The communication control module 104 is configured to disconnect the circuit connection between the satellite communication module 102 and the satellite power amplifier module 105 based on the first signal sent by the wireless communication module 103, so as to turn off the satellite communication function of the satellite communication module 102. Wherein, the first signal is a control signal output by the wireless communication module 103 when any one of the cellular communication function and the short-range communication function switches from the off state to the on state, and this control signal is used to control the communication control module 104 to be in the disconnected state. Therefore, when the communication control module 104 is deployed between the satellite communication module 102 and the satellite power amplifier module 105, the communication control module 104 can disconnect the circuit connection between the satellite communication module 102 and the satellite power amplifier module 105 based on the first signal. Since this circuit connection is located at the input end of the satellite power amplifier module 105, that is, at the PA input end of satellite communication. Therefore, by disconnecting this circuit connection, the terminal can stop supplying power to the satellite power amplifier module 105, avoiding the satellite signal output by the satellite communication module 102 from being power-amplified by the satellite power amplifier module 105, and further avoiding the situation that the high-power satellite signal damages the components of the wireless communication module 103, thereby turning off the satellite communication function of the terminal in terms of hardware and solving the coexistence problem between wireless communication and satellite communication.

[0078] In some embodiments, the AP chip 101 is further configured to control the on / off of the communication control module 104.

For the specific connection situation of the communication control module 104, please refer to Solution 3 and Solution 4 below.

[0079] Solution 3: When the communication control module 104 is deployed between the satellite communication module 102 and the AP chip 101, the first end of the communication control module 104 is connected to the AP chip 101, the second end of the communication control module 104 is connected to the AP chip 101, and the third end of the communication control module 104 is connected to the satellite communication module 102; the communication control module 104 is configured to disconnect the circuit connection between the satellite communication module 102 and the AP chip 101 based on the second signal sent by the AP chip 101, so as to turn off the satellite communication function of the satellite communication module 102. Wherein, the second signal is a control signal output by the AP chip 101 when any one of the cellular communication function and the short-range communication function switches from the off state to the on state, and this control signal is used to control the communication control module 104 to be in the disconnected state. Therefore, when the communication control module 104 is deployed between the satellite communication module 102 and the AP chip 101, the communication control module 104 can disconnect the circuit connection between the satellite communication module 102 and the AP chip 101 based on the second signal. Since this circuit connection is located at the input end of the satellite communication module 102, by disconnecting this circuit connection, the terminal can stop supplying power to the satellite communication module 102, enabling the terminal to turn off the satellite communication function of the satellite communication module 102 in terms of hardware, avoiding the situation where high-power satellite signals enter the wireless communication due to the simultaneous activation of satellite communication and wireless communication, resulting in damage to the components of the wireless communication, and solving the coexistence problem between wireless communication and satellite communication.

[0080] Solution 4: When the communication control module 104 is deployed between the satellite communication module 102 and the satellite power amplifier module 105, the first end of the communication control module 104 is connected to the AP chip 101, the second end of the communication control module 104 is connected to the satellite communication module 102, and the third end of the communication control module 104 is connected to the satellite power amplifier module 105. The communication control module 104 is configured to disconnect the circuit connection between the satellite communication module 102 and the satellite power amplifier module 105 based on the second signal sent by the AP chip 101, so as to turn off the satellite communication function of the satellite communication module 102. Wherein, the second signal is a control signal output by the AP chip 101 when any one of the cellular communication function and the short-range communication function switches from the off state to the on state, and this control signal is used to control the communication control module 104 to be in the disconnected state. Therefore, when the communication control module 104 is deployed between the satellite communication module 102 and the satellite power amplifier module 105, the communication control module 104 can disconnect the circuit connection between the satellite communication module 102 and the satellite power amplifier module 105 based on the second signal. Since this circuit connection is located at the input end of the satellite power amplifier module 105, that is, at the PA input end of satellite communication. Therefore, by disconnecting this circuit connection, the terminal can stop supplying power to the satellite power amplifier module 105, avoiding the satellite signal output by the satellite communication module 102 from being power-amplified by the satellite power amplifier module 105, and further avoiding the situation that the high-power satellite signal damages the components of the wireless communication module 103, thereby turning off the satellite communication function of the terminal in hardware and solving the coexistence problem between wireless communication and satellite communication.

[0081] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 2 or Figure 3 , the modem (modulation and demodulation) module in the AP chip 101 is connected to the wireless communication module 103. Wherein, the modem module is used to control the turning on or off of the wireless communication module 103. When the AP chip 101 is used to control the on-off of the communication control module 104, the modem module in the AP chip 101 is also connected to the first end of the communication control module 104. That is, the modem module is used to control the on-off of the communication control module 104.

[0082] In some embodiments, the communication control module 104 can be an interlock switch, Figure 4 which is a schematic structural diagram of an interlock switch provided by an embodiment of the present application.

Among them, the gate is the first end of the communication control module 104, the source is the second end of the communication control module 104, and the drain is the third end of the communication control module 104. When the communication control module 104 receives a control signal (the first signal or the second signal) sent by the wireless communication module 103 or the AP chip 101, the communication control module 104 can be in an off state by directly pulling the source to the ground. When the communication control module 104 does not receive a control signal, the communication control module 104 can make the circuit connected to the gate in an open state by controlling the gate to output a high impedance state, so as to ensure normal input and output of the source and the drain.

The AP chip is used to control the switching of the communication mode, the satellite communication module is used to provide the satellite communication function for the terminal, and the wireless communication module is used to provide the cellular communication function or the short-range communication function for the terminal.

[0086] In an embodiment of the present application, the converged communication system is configured in a terminal to provide the terminal with multiple communication functions. The multiple communication functions may include satellite communication functions, cellular communication functions, and short-range communication functions, which are not limited in the embodiments of the present application. Since the AP chip in the converged communication system is used to control the switching of the terminal communication mode, the satellite communication module is used to provide the terminal with satellite communication functions, and the wireless communication module is used to provide the terminal with cellular communication functions or short-range communication functions. Therefore, in response to an operation to turn on the satellite communication function, the terminal can send a turn-on instruction to the satellite communication module and a turn-off instruction to the wireless communication module through the AP chip, so as to be able to switch the current communication mode of the terminal to the satellite communication mode.

[0087] 502. Based on the turn-off instruction, turn off the cellular communication function and the short-range communication function of the wireless communication module through the wireless communication module.

[0088] In an embodiment of the present application, the turn-off instruction is used to instruct the wireless communication module to turn off the currently enabled cellular communication function or short-range communication function. Therefore, after the wireless communication module receives the turn-off instruction sent by the AP chip, the terminal can turn off the cellular communication function and the short-range communication function of the wireless communication module based on the turn-off instruction through the wireless communication module. Among them, the cellular communication function is a communication function for data transmission based on a cellular network, and the short-range communication function is a communication function for data transmission within a short distance using radio waves. The short-range communication may include Bluetooth communication, wireless fidelity (WiFi) communication, near-field communication (NFC) communication, etc., which are not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0089] 503. In the case where both the cellular communication function and the short-range communication function are in the off state, turn on the satellite communication function of the satellite communication module based on the turn-on instruction through the satellite communication module.

[0090] In an embodiment of the present application, the turn-on instruction is used to instruct the satellite communication module to turn on the satellite communication function. In the case where both the cellular communication function and the short-range communication function are in the off state, it indicates that the wireless communication functions of the terminal are all in the off state. Correspondingly, the terminal can turn on the satellite communication function of the satellite communication module based on the turn-on instruction through the satellite communication module to switch the current communication mode of the terminal from the wireless communication mode to the satellite communication mode. Among them, the wireless communication mode includes the cellular communication mode and the short-range communication mode.

[0091] 504. When the satellite communication function is in the enabled state and it is detected by the AP chip that either the cellular communication function or the short - range communication function switches from the off state to the on state, the communication control module disconnects the path where the satellite communication module is located to physically turn off the satellite communication function. The communication control module is used to control the connection and disconnection of the path where the satellite communication module is located, so that the satellite communication function of the satellite communication module is turned off when the path where the satellite communication module is located is disconnected.

[0092] In the embodiment of the present application, when the satellite communication function is in the enabled state, the terminal can perform satellite communication based on the satellite communication function. During the process of the terminal performing satellite communication, when it is detected by the AP chip that either the cellular communication function or the short - range communication function switches from the off state to the on state, it indicates that both the satellite communication function and any one of the wireless communication functions of the current terminal are in the enabled state. Since when the satellite communication function and the wireless communication function are both enabled, it may cause the situation that high - power satellite signals damage the devices of the wireless communication. And the communication control module is used to control the connection and disconnection of the path where the satellite communication module is located, so that the satellite communication function of the satellite communication module is turned off when the path where the satellite communication module is located is disconnected. Therefore, the terminal can immediately disconnect the path where the satellite communication module providing the satellite communication function is located through the communication control module in the integrated communication system, thereby physically turning off the satellite communication function.

[0093] For example, Figure 6 is a schematic diagram of the architecture of an integrated communication method provided by an embodiment of the present application. Refer to Figure 6 , when the satellite communication function is in the enabled state and it is detected by the AP chip that either the cellular communication function or the short - range communication function switches from the off state to the on state, it indicates that at this time the soft - shutdown for solving the co - existence problem between the satellite communication module and the wireless communication module fails, and the wireless communication module is in an abnormal startup state. Therefore, to solve the co - existence problem between the satellite communication module and the wireless communication module, the terminal can disconnect the path where the satellite communication module is located through the communication control module to achieve a hard - shutdown of the satellite communication function.

[0094] The embodiment of the present application provides an integrated communication method. During the process of the terminal performing satellite communication based on the satellite communication module, when it is detected that any one of the wireless communication functions of the wireless communication module switches from the off state to the on state, the terminal can timely disconnect the path where the satellite communication module is located through the communication control module, thereby physically turning off the satellite communication function of the terminal, avoiding the situation that high - power satellite signals enter the wireless communication due to the simultaneous enabling of satellite communication and wireless communication and causing damage to the devices of the wireless communication, and solving the co - existence problem between wireless communication and satellite communication.

[0095] Figure 7 It is a flowchart of another converged communication method provided by an embodiment of the present application. This method is applied to a converged communication system, which includes an AP chip, a satellite communication module, a wireless communication module, a communication control module, and a satellite power amplification module. Refer to Figure 7 , this method includes:

[0096] 701. In response to an operation to turn on the satellite communication function, obtain the current network mode of the terminal through the AP chip. The network mode includes a flight mode, a cellular network mode, and a wireless network mode. The flight mode is used to indicate that both the cellular network mode and the wireless network mode are in the off state. The AP chip is used to control the switching of the communication mode.

[0097] In the embodiment of the present application, the converged communication system is configured in the terminal to provide multiple communication functions for the terminal. The network mode of the terminal can indicate the communication method between the terminal and devices such as servers and base stations. Correspondingly, in response to an operation to turn on the satellite communication function, the terminal can obtain the current network mode of the terminal through the AP chip. Among them, the network mode of the terminal includes a cellular network mode, a wireless network mode, and a flight mode. The cellular network mode is used to indicate that the cellular network of the terminal is in the on state, that is, when the current network mode of the terminal is the cellular network mode, the terminal can communicate with devices such as servers and base stations based on the cellular network. The wireless network mode is used to indicate that the wireless network of the terminal is in the on state, that is, when the current network mode of the terminal is the wireless network mode, the terminal can communicate with devices such as servers and base stations based on the wireless network. The flight mode is used to indicate that both the cellular network and the wireless network of the terminal are in the off state, that is, when the current network mode of the terminal is the flight mode, the terminal cannot communicate with other devices based on the cellular network and the wireless network. The wireless network includes short-range communication technologies such as Bluetooth, wireless fidelity (WiFi), and near-field communication (NFC).

[0098] 702. When the current network mode of the terminal is the flight mode, send an on command to the satellite communication module and a off command to the wireless communication module through the AP chip. The satellite communication module is used to provide satellite communication functions for the terminal, and the wireless communication module is used to provide cellular communication functions or short-range communication functions for the terminal.

[0099] In the embodiments of the present application, the AP chip in the converged communication system is used to control the switching of the terminal communication mode, the satellite communication module is used to provide satellite communication functions for the terminal, and the wireless communication module is used to provide cellular communication functions or short-range communication functions for the terminal. When the current network mode of the terminal is the flight mode, it indicates that both the cellular network and the wireless network of the terminal are in the closed state. At this time, the terminal cannot communicate with other devices based on wireless communication technologies, that is, the terminal has the prerequisite condition for enabling the satellite communication mode at this time. Therefore, the terminal can send an enabling instruction to the satellite communication module and a disabling instruction to the wireless communication module through the AP chip, so as to be able to switch the current communication mode of the terminal to the satellite communication mode. Among them, wireless communication technologies include cellular communication technologies and short-range communication technologies.

[0100] Optionally, in response to the enabling operation of the satellite communication function, when the current network mode of the terminal is not the flight mode, before enabling the satellite communication function, the terminal needs to switch the current network mode to the flight mode.

[0101] 703. Based on the disabling instruction, the wireless communication module disables the cellular communication function and the short-range communication function of the wireless communication module.

[0102] In the embodiments of the present application, the disabling instruction is used to instruct the wireless communication module to disable the currently enabled cellular communication function or short-range communication function. Therefore, after the wireless communication module receives the disabling instruction sent by the AP chip, the terminal can, through the wireless communication module, based on this disabling instruction, disable the cellular communication function and the short-range communication function of the wireless communication module. Among them, the cellular communication function is a communication function for data transmission based on a cellular network, and the short-range communication function is a communication function for data transmission within a short distance using radio waves. Short-range communication can include Bluetooth communication, Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) communication, Near Field Communication (NFC) communication, etc., and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0103] 704. When both the cellular communication function and the short-range communication function are in the closed state, the satellite communication module enables the satellite communication function of the satellite communication module based on the enabling instruction.

[0104] In the embodiments of the present application, the enabling instruction is used to instruct the satellite communication module to enable the satellite communication function. When both the cellular communication function and the short-range communication function are in the closed state, it indicates that both the wireless communication functions of the terminal are in the closed state. Correspondingly, the terminal can, through the satellite communication module, based on this enabling instruction, enable the satellite communication function of the satellite communication module to switch the current communication mode of the terminal from the wireless communication mode to the satellite communication mode. Among them, the wireless communication mode includes the cellular communication mode and the short-range communication mode.

[0105] In some embodiments, the wireless communication module is further configured to control the on / off of the communication control module. When the communication control module is deployed between the satellite communication module and the AP chip, for the process of the terminal turning off the satellite communication function through the communication control module, please refer to the following steps 705 and 706. When the communication control module is deployed between the satellite communication module and the satellite power amplifier module, for the process of the terminal turning off the satellite communication function through the communication control module, please refer to the following steps 705 and 707.

[0106] 705. When the satellite communication function is in the on state and it is detected by the AP chip that any one of the cellular communication function and the short-range communication function switches from the off state to the on state, the wireless communication module sends a first signal to the communication control module. The communication control module is used to control the on / off of the path where the satellite communication module is located, so as to turn off the satellite communication function of the satellite communication module when the path where the satellite communication module is located is disconnected.

[0107] In the embodiments of the present application, the wireless communication module is used to control the on / off of the communication control module. The communication control module is used to control the on / off of the path where the satellite communication module is located, so as to turn off the satellite communication function of the satellite communication module when the path where the satellite communication module is located is disconnected. When the satellite communication function is in the on state, the terminal can perform satellite communication based on the satellite communication function. Since when the satellite communication function and the wireless communication function are both on, it may cause the situation that high-power satellite signals damage the wireless communication devices. Therefore, when the satellite communication function is in the on state and it is detected by the AP chip that any one of the cellular communication function and the short-range communication function switches from the off state to the on state, the terminal can send a first signal to the communication control module through the wireless communication module. Among them, the first signal is used to control the communication control module to be in the off state.

[0108] 706. When the communication control module is deployed between the satellite communication module and the AP chip, based on the first signal, the communication control module disconnects the circuit connection between the satellite communication module and the AP chip to physically turn off the satellite communication function.

[0109] In the embodiment of the present application, the first signal is a control signal output by the wireless communication module when any one of the cellular communication function and the short-range communication function is switched from the off state to the on state. This control signal is used to control the communication control module to be in the disconnected state. Therefore, when the communication control module is deployed between the satellite communication module and the AP chip, the terminal can, based on the first signal through the communication control module, disconnect the circuit connection between the satellite communication module and the AP chip. Since this circuit connection is located at the input end of the satellite communication module, by disconnecting this circuit connection, the terminal can stop supplying power to the satellite communication module, enabling the terminal to turn off the satellite communication function of the satellite communication module in terms of hardware, and avoiding the situation where high-power satellite signals enter the wireless communication due to the simultaneous activation of satellite communication and wireless communication, resulting in damage to the components of the wireless communication, thus solving the coexistence problem between wireless communication and satellite communication.

[0110] 707. When the communication control module is deployed between the satellite communication module and the satellite power amplifier module, through the communication control module, based on the first signal, disconnect the circuit connection between the satellite communication module and the satellite power amplifier module to turn off the satellite communication function in terms of hardware.

[0111] In the embodiment of the present application, since the first signal is a control signal output by the wireless communication module, this control signal is used to control the communication control module to be in the disconnected state. Therefore, when the communication control module is deployed between the satellite communication module and the satellite power amplifier module, the terminal can, based on the first signal through the communication control module, disconnect the circuit connection between the satellite communication module and the satellite power amplifier module. Since this circuit connection is located at the input end of the satellite power amplifier module, that is, at the PA input end of the satellite communication. Therefore, by disconnecting this circuit connection, the terminal can stop supplying power to the satellite power amplifier module, avoiding the satellite signal output by the satellite communication module from being power-amplified by the satellite power amplifier module, and further avoiding the situation where high-power satellite signals damage the components of the wireless communication module, thereby turning off the satellite communication function of the terminal in terms of hardware and solving the coexistence problem between wireless communication and satellite communication.

[0112] In some embodiments, the AP chip is also used to control the on / off of the communication control module. When the communication control module is deployed between the satellite communication module and the AP chip, for the process of the terminal turning off the satellite communication function through the communication control module, please refer to the following steps 708 and 709. When the communication control module is deployed between the satellite communication module and the satellite power amplifier module, for the process of the terminal turning off the satellite communication function through the communication control module, please refer to the following steps 708 and 710.

[0113] 708. When the satellite communication function is in the on state and it is detected by the AP chip that either the cellular communication function or the short - range communication function switches from the off state to the on state, the AP chip sends a second signal to the communication control module.

[0114] In the embodiment of the present application, the AP chip is used to control the on - off of the communication control module. The communication control module is used to control the on - off of the path where the satellite communication module is located, so as to turn off the satellite communication function of the satellite communication module when the path where the satellite communication module is located is disconnected. When the satellite communication function is in the on state, the terminal can perform satellite communication based on the satellite communication function. Since when the satellite communication function and the wireless communication function are both on, it may cause the situation that high - power satellite signals damage the wireless communication devices. Therefore, when the satellite communication function is in the on state and it is detected by the AP chip that either the cellular communication function or the short - range communication function switches from the off state to the on state, the terminal can send a second signal to the communication control module through the AP chip. Among them, the second signal is used to control the communication control module to be in the disconnected state.

[0115] 709. When the communication control module is deployed between the satellite communication module and the AP chip, based on the second signal, the communication control module disconnects the circuit connection between the satellite communication module and the AP chip to turn off the satellite communication function in terms of hardware.

[0116] In the embodiment of the present application, the second signal is a control signal output by the wireless communication module when either the cellular communication function or the short - range communication function switches from the off state to the on state. This control signal is used to control the communication control module to be in the disconnected state. Therefore, when the communication control module is deployed between the satellite communication module and the AP chip, the terminal can, through the communication control module, based on the second signal, disconnect the circuit connection between the satellite communication module and the AP chip. Since this circuit connection is located at the input end of the satellite communication module, by disconnecting this circuit connection, the terminal can stop supplying power to the satellite communication module, enabling the terminal to turn off the satellite communication function of the satellite communication module in terms of hardware, avoiding the situation that high - power satellite signals enter the wireless communication due to the simultaneous on of satellite communication and wireless communication, causing damage to the wireless communication devices, and solving the co - existence problem between wireless communication and satellite communication.

[0117] 710. When the communication control module is deployed between the satellite communication module and the satellite power amplifier module, based on the second signal, the communication control module disconnects the circuit connection between the satellite communication module and the satellite power amplifier module to turn off the satellite communication function in terms of hardware.

[0118] In the embodiment of the present application, since the second signal is a control signal output by the AP chip, and this control signal is used to control the communication control module to be in a disconnected state. Therefore, when the communication control module is deployed between the satellite communication module and the satellite power amplifier module, the terminal can, through the communication control module and based on the second signal, disconnect the circuit connection between the satellite communication module and the satellite power amplifier module. Since this circuit connection is located at the input end of the satellite power amplifier module, that is, at the PA input end of satellite communication. Therefore, by disconnecting this circuit connection, the terminal can stop supplying power to the satellite power amplifier module, avoiding the satellite signal output by the satellite communication module being power-amplified by the satellite power amplifier module, and further avoiding the situation where the high-power satellite signal damages the components of the wireless communication module, thereby hardware-closing the satellite communication function of the terminal and solving the coexistence problem between wireless communication and satellite communication.

[0119] It should be noted that when the wireless communication module is used to control the on / off of the communication control module, since the transmission of the first signal generated by the wireless communication module depends on the activation of the cellular communication function or the short-range communication function, the activation time of these two wireless communication functions will affect the response time of the terminal to turn off the satellite communication function through the communication control module. To further reduce the response time of the terminal, the embodiment of the present application can also control the on / off of the communication control module through the AP chip. When the AP chip controls any wireless communication function to switch from the off state to the on state, it can automatically send a control signal to the communication control module, thus eliminating the need to wait for the completion of the activation of the cellular communication function or the short-range communication function, and further reducing the response time of the terminal to turn off the satellite communication function through the communication control module.

[0120] For example, Figure 8 is a schematic architecture diagram of another integrated communication method provided by the embodiment of the present application. Refer to Figure 8, when the satellite communication function is in the enabled state and it is detected by the AP chip that any one of the cellular communication function and the short - range communication function switches from the off state to the on state, it indicates that the soft - off used to solve the co - existence problem between the satellite communication module and the wireless communication module fails, and the wireless communication module is in an abnormal startup state. Therefore, to solve the co - existence problem between the satellite communication module and the wireless communication module, in one case, the terminal can send a control signal to the communication control module through the AP chip. Based on this control signal, the communication control module disconnects the path where the satellite communication module is located to achieve a hard - off of the satellite communication function. In another case, after controlling any communication to switch from the off state to the on state through the AP chip, the terminal can send a control signal to the communication control module through the wireless communication module. Based on this control signal, the communication control module disconnects the path where the satellite communication module is located to achieve a hard - off of the satellite communication function. Considering these two cases comprehensively, it can be clearly found that controlling the on - off of the communication control module through the AP chip can reduce the response time for the terminal to turn off the satellite communication function through the communication control module after the soft - off is achieved.

[0121] In some embodiments, the terminal can implement dual shutdown of the satellite communication function both in software and hardware. Accordingly, when the satellite communication function is in the enabled state and no function among the cellular communication function and the short-range communication function is detected to switch from the disabled state to the enabled state, in response to the shutdown operation of the satellite communication function, the AP chip is used to send a shutdown instruction to the satellite communication module and an enable instruction to the wireless communication module; through the satellite communication module, based on the shutdown instruction, the satellite communication function is switched from the enabled state to the disabled state to disable the satellite communication function in software; when the satellite communication function is in the disabled state, through the wireless communication module, based on the enable instruction, the cellular communication function and the short-range communication function are enabled; when any one of the cellular communication function and the short-range communication function is in the enabled state, the communication control module is used to disconnect the path where the satellite communication module is located to disable the satellite communication function in hardware. Among them, when the satellite communication function is in the enabled state and no function among the cellular communication function and the short-range communication function is detected to switch from the disabled state to the enabled state, it indicates that during the process of the terminal performing satellite communication, the cellular communication function and the short-range communication function of the terminal have been in the disabled state. Therefore, in response to the shutdown operation of the satellite communication function, the terminal can send a shutdown instruction to the satellite communication module through the AP chip, so that the satellite communication module can, based on this shutdown instruction, switch the satellite communication function from the enabled state to the disabled state to achieve software shutdown of the satellite communication function. The terminal can also send an enable instruction to the wireless communication module through the AP chip, so that the wireless communication module can, when the satellite communication function is in the disabled state, based on the enable instruction, enable the cellular communication function and the short-range communication function. Finally, when any one of the cellular communication function and the short-range communication function switches from the disabled state to the enabled state, the terminal can, through the communication control module, based on the control signal sent by the wireless communication module or the AP chip, disconnect the path where the satellite communication module is located to achieve hardware shutdown of the satellite communication function. By further performing hardware shutdown of the satellite communication function on the basis of software shutdown of the satellite communication function, a device protection circuit for wireless communication can be formed to achieve double guarantee for wireless communication devices.

[0122] For example, Figure 9 is a schematic structural diagram of another fusion communication method provided by an embodiment of the present application. Refer to Figure 9, in response to an operation to turn on the satellite communication function, the terminal can switch the current network mode to the flight mode, so that the cellular communication function and the short-range communication function of the wireless communication module are switched from the on state to the off state. When both the cellular communication function and the short-range communication function are in the off state, the terminal can activate the satellite communication function of the satellite communication module. When the satellite communication function is in the on state and it is not detected that any of the cellular communication function and the short-range communication function is switched from the off state to the on state, in response to an operation to turn off the satellite communication function, the terminal can turn off the satellite communication function software-wise. Then, the terminal can turn off the flight mode to activate the cellular communication function and the short-range communication function of the wireless communication module. When any of the cellular communication function and the short-range communication function is in the on state, the terminal can disconnect the path where the satellite communication module is located through the communication control module to turn off the satellite communication function hardware-wise.

[0123] The embodiments of the present application provide a converged communication method. During the process of the terminal performing satellite communication based on the satellite communication module, when it is detected that any wireless communication function of the wireless communication module is switched from the off state to the on state, the terminal can timely disconnect the path where the satellite communication module is located through the communication control module, so that the satellite communication function of the terminal can be turned off hardware-wise, avoiding the situation that high-power satellite signals enter the wireless communication due to the simultaneous activation of satellite communication and wireless communication, resulting in damage to the components of the wireless communication, and solving the coexistence problem between wireless communication and satellite communication.
