[0043] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. In the following description, when referring to the drawings, identical numerals in different figures represent identical or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments are not intended to represent all embodiments consistent with the present disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of devices consistent with certain aspects of the present disclosure, as detailed in the appended claims.

[0044] refer to Figure 1 , is a schematic diagram of an antenna module, the antenna module comprising:

[0045] Antenna radiator 1;

[0046] The switch component 2 is connected to the antenna radiator 1, and the switch component 2 includes at least two sets of switch modes.

[0047] In response to the switch component 2 being in different signal strength states when the antenna radiator 1 is in different signal strength states, different switching modes of the switch component 2 are used for tuning.

[0048] The antenna module can be applied to electronic devices. The electronic devices may include mobile electronic devices and fixed electronic devices, i.e., the execution subject of the method may include at least mobile electronic devices and fixed electronic devices. Mobile electronic devices may include mobile phones, tablet computers, in-vehicle central control devices, wearable devices, smart devices, and aircraft, etc. Smart devices may include smart office equipment, smart home devices, and robots, etc.

[0049] The electronic device may include a controller or a processor, which may be used to control the switch component to perform the above-mentioned tuning, including controlling the switching mode of the switch component, and may control the switch component to use different switching modes for tuning.

[0050] Antenna radiator 1 can be part of the frame of an electronic device such as a mobile phone or tablet, and is used to radiate and receive signals. The structure of antenna radiator 1 can be determined based on usage requirements, such as length, width, and location. This information may vary between different terminals.

[0051] The switch component 2 is used to tune the antenna radiator 1 so that the antenna radiator 1 can resonate with signals of different frequency bands and / or frequency points.

[0052] Switch assembly 2 is connected to antenna radiator 1. The connection position of switch assembly 2 and antenna radiator 1 is not limited and can be determined according to usage requirements. The structure of switch assembly 2 is not limited, and it has at least two sets of switching modes. When antenna radiator 1 is in different signal strength states, it can be tuned through different switch modules.

[0053] The signal strength status may include the signal strength status of the current cellular network. The signal strength status may also include multiple different states, and different states correspond to different signal strengths.

[0054] The electronic device can also determine the current signal strength of the electronic device, thereby determining the signal strength state of the antenna radiator 1. The signal strength state of the antenna radiator 1 can be a state related to the signal strength of the cellular network, such as a state related to the signal strength of the current cell. The electronic device has the function of detecting the current signal strength, and the detection method is not limited. It can be queried according to the factory settings of the electronic device, or it can be queried through an application that has a signal strength query function to determine the current signal strength. Of course, it can also be determined by other methods, as long as the method that can determine the current signal strength is sufficient.

[0055] Exemplarily, the signal strength may be represented in one or more ways, but is not limited to one way. The signal strength may include reference signal receiving power (RSRP), signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR), received signal channel power (RSCP), or other information that can represent signal strength.

[0056] Each signal strength state corresponds to its own signal strength range, and different signal strength states correspond to different signal strength ranges, which makes it easy to determine the signal strength state based on the signal strength.

[0057] The switching mode can be determined based on usage requirements and can be a mode related to the priority of the working mode. Different switching modes correspond to different signal strength states of the antenna radiator 1. In each switching mode, the antenna radiator 1 can be tuned. The antenna radiator 1 is in different signal strength states and is tuned using different switching modes of the switch component 2.

[0058] Exemplarily, there is a correspondence between the switching mode and the different signal strength states of the antenna radiator 1, and this correspondence may be preset. Based on this correspondence and the different signal strength states of the antenna radiator 1, the switching mode can be determined, and the antenna radiator 1 can be tuned using the determined switching mode.

[0059] For example, the switching modes used by the switch component 2 are different depending on the signal strength state of the antenna radiator 1 .

[0060] Illustratively, the switching mode may include a conduction mode of the switch component. Different switching modes may result in different conduction modes of the switch component 2.

[0061] Exemplarily, the antenna module may include other parts in addition to the antenna radiator and the switch component, such as a matching circuit. The switch component may serve as a part of the matching circuit to achieve tuning of the antenna radiator 1 .

[0062] Since signal strength affects the effectiveness of the antenna in transmitting and receiving signals, the antenna radiator in different environments and scenarios has corresponding signal strength states. Therefore, it is possible to perform targeted and precise tuning based on the signal strength state of the antenna radiator, that is, based on the current environment and scenario, thereby improving the tuning effect, improving the effectiveness of the antenna in transmitting and receiving signals, and improving the user experience.

[0063] In one embodiment, the switching mode includes a first mode and a second mode, and the first mode is different from the second mode.

[0064] In response to the switch component 2 being in the first signal strength state of the antenna radiator 1, the switch component 2 uses the first mode for tuning. That is, when the antenna radiator 1 is in the first signal strength state, the switch component 2 uses the first mode for tuning.

[0065] The first signal strength state corresponds to the first mode. When the antenna radiator 1 is in the first signal strength state, the switch component 2 is in the first mode, and the antenna radiator 1 is tuned in the first mode.

[0066] In response to the switch component performing tuning in the second mode when the antenna radiator is in the second signal strength state and other functions are used, the switch component performs tuning in the second mode.

[0067] The second signal strength state corresponds to the second mode. When the antenna radiator 1 is in the second signal strength state and uses other functions, the switch component 2 is in the second mode and the antenna radiator 1 is tuned in the second mode.

[0068] Other functions may be functions related to the resonance of the antenna module, such as functions related to signal reception and transmission in different frequency bands, including but not limited to positioning function, Bluetooth function and / or wireless LAN function, etc. Different functions correspond to different frequency bands, or at least are not exactly the same, and there may be partial overlap.

[0069] The use of other functions will affect the tuning of the switch component to the antenna radiator 1, and thus will affect the switching mode of the switch component 2.

[0070] This embodiment shows two modes and two signal strength states, and may also include other modes and signal strength states.

[0071] When the signal strength state of the antenna radiator 1 and the usage of other functions are different, the antenna radiator 1 is tuned by using different switching modes, so that targeted and precise tuning can be performed according to the usage scenario, thereby improving the tuning effect, improving the antenna's signal reception effect, and improving the user experience.

[0072] In one embodiment, the signal strength of the first signal strength state is less than the signal strength of the second signal strength state, the first mode is a cellular priority mode, and the second mode is a non-cellular priority mode.

[0073] For the signal strength, please refer to the aforementioned content related to signal strength.

[0074] Exemplarily, the signal strength may also be the signal strength of voice and / or data services. The signal strength of a voice service may include the number of signal bars displayed on the electronic device, and the signal strength of a data service may include the network speed.

[0075] Each signal strength state corresponds to its own signal strength range. Different signal strength states correspond to different signal strength ranges, so the signal strength state of the antenna radiator 1 can be determined by the signal strength.

[0076] Exemplarily, the maximum value of the signal strength range of the first signal strength state is smaller than the minimum value of the signal strength range of the second signal strength state.

[0077] Exemplarily, the first signal strength state and the second signal strength state can be divided according to the reference strength. When the signal strength is greater than the reference strength, the signal strength state of the antenna radiator 1 is the second signal strength state. When the signal strength is less than the reference strength, the signal strength state of the antenna radiator 1 is the first signal strength state.

[0078] The reference strength may be determined as required. When the signal strength includes RSRP and SINR, the reference strength may include a first reference strength of RSRP and a second reference strength of SINR.

[0079] The cellular priority mode can be a mode in which the cellular network is prioritized, giving priority to the use of cellular network functions and prioritizing the resonance of antenna radiator 1 with the frequency band corresponding to the cellular network. The second mode is the non-cellular priority mode. All modes other than the cellular priority mode can be non-cellular priority modes, such as the wireless LAN priority mode, the positioning priority mode, the Bluetooth priority mode, and the equal mode. The equal mode can also be a balanced mode, in which the cellular, wireless LAN, positioning, and Bluetooth modes are given equal priority.

[0080] When the antenna radiator 1 is in the first signal strength state, the cellular priority mode is used for tuning.

[0081] Since the signal strength corresponding to the first signal strength state of the antenna radiator 1 is weak, the switch mode is set to the cellular priority mode, and tuning is performed for the scenario where the signal strength corresponding to the first signal strength state of the antenna radiator 1 is weak, which can improve the user experience of the cellular network.

[0082] When the antenna radiator 1 is in the second signal strength state and other functions are used, the non-cellular priority mode is used for tuning.

[0083] Since the signal strength corresponding to the second signal strength state of the antenna radiator 1 is strong, the switch mode is set to the non-cellular priority mode, and tuning is performed for the scenario where the signal strength corresponding to the second signal strength state of the antenna radiator 1 is strong. This can improve the user experience of other functions while ensuring the signal strength of the cellular network.

[0084] In one embodiment, in response to the switch component being in the second signal strength state and using the function corresponding to the first frequency band when the antenna radiator is in the second signal strength state, the switch component uses the second mode for tuning.

[0085] That is, when the antenna radiator is in the second signal strength state and the function corresponding to the first frequency band is used, the switch component 2 is in the second mode, and the resonant frequency band of the antenna radiator 1 is tuned using the second mode.

[0086] The first frequency band may be a frequency band used for positioning functions, including a frequency band in which positioning signals are located. The positioning function may be implemented based on antenna radiator 1 transmitting and receiving positioning signals. The positioning signals may include positioning signals based on GPS, Beidou positioning system, Galileo positioning system, and GLONASS positioning system.

[0087] When the antenna radiator is in the second signal strength state and the function corresponding to the first frequency band is used, since the signal strength corresponding to the second signal strength state of the antenna radiator 1 is stronger, the second mode can be used for tuning, thereby improving the resonance effect of the antenna radiator 1 on the first frequency band and improving the user experience of using the function corresponding to the first frequency band.

[0088] Exemplarily, the second mode here is the positioning priority mode. When the positioning function is used for positioning, it means that there is a need to use the positioning signal and it is necessary to send and receive positioning signals. Therefore, the switch component 2 is in the positioning priority mode and the positioning priority mode is used for tuning.

[0089] In this way, when the signal strength meets the usage requirements, the linear radiator 1 can be tuned to the frequency band where the positioning signal is located, thereby improving the sending and receiving effect of the positioning signal, thereby improving the positioning effect.

[0090] In one embodiment, the switch assembly further includes a third mode, which is a non-cellular priority mode and may be different from the second mode.

[0091] In response to the switch component using a third mode for tuning when the antenna radiator is in a second signal strength state and a function corresponding to the second frequency band is used but a function corresponding to the first frequency band is not used, the switch component uses the third mode for tuning.

[0092] That is, when the antenna radiator is in the second signal strength state and the function corresponding to the second frequency band is used and the function corresponding to the first frequency band is not used, the switch component 2 is in the third mode and the third mode is used to tune the resonant frequency band of the antenna radiator 1.

[0093] The second frequency band may be a frequency band used for wireless local area network (WLAN) functions, including a frequency band in which WLAN signals are located. WLAN signals may include Wi-Fi signals, and the electronic device may be connected to a wireless network and access the internet based on antenna radiator 1 transmitting and receiving signals in the second frequency band.

[0094] When the antenna radiator is in the second signal strength state and the function corresponding to the second frequency band is used, since the signal strength corresponding to the second signal strength state of the antenna radiator 1 is strong, the third mode can be used for tuning, thereby improving the resonance effect of the antenna radiator 1 on the second frequency band and improving the user experience of using the function corresponding to the second frequency band.

[0095] Exemplarily, the third mode here is the wireless LAN priority mode. When the wireless LAN function is used, it indicates that there is a need to use the wireless LAN signal and it is necessary to send and receive wireless LAN signals. Therefore, the switch component 2 is in the wireless LAN priority mode and uses the wireless LAN priority mode for tuning.

[0096] In this way, when the signal strength meets the usage requirements, the linear radiator 1 can be tuned to the frequency band where the wireless LAN signal is located, thereby improving the sending and receiving effect of the wireless LAN signal, thereby improving the Internet usage experience.

[0097] Exemplarily, the third mode here is the Bluetooth priority mode. When the Bluetooth function is used, it indicates that there is a demand for Bluetooth signals and it is necessary to send and receive Bluetooth signals. Therefore, the switch component 2 is in the Bluetooth priority mode and the Bluetooth priority mode is used for tuning.

[0098] In this way, when the signal strength meets the usage requirements, the linear radiator 1 can be tuned to the frequency band where the Bluetooth signal is located, thereby improving the receiving and sending effect of the Bluetooth signal, thereby improving the Bluetooth usage experience.

[0099] In one embodiment, in response to the switch component performing tuning using the first mode when the antenna radiator is in the second signal strength state and the functions corresponding to the first frequency band and the second frequency band are not used.

[0100] That is, when the antenna radiator 1 is in the second signal strength state and the functions corresponding to the first frequency band and the second frequency band are not used, it means that the functions corresponding to the first frequency band and the second frequency band are not currently needed, then the switch component 2 is in the first mode and uses the first mode for tuning, that is, the cellular priority mode for tuning.

[0101] Since the signal strength corresponding to the second signal strength state of the antenna radiator 1 is stronger, the linear radiator 1 can be tuned to the frequency band corresponding to the cellular network signal when the signal strength meets the usage requirements, thereby improving the receiving and sending effect of the cellular network signal, thereby improving the user experience of the cellular network.

[0102] In one embodiment, in response to the switch component being in a state where the antenna radiator 1 is not using voice and / or data services, the switch component is in the fourth mode and uses the fourth mode for tuning.

[0103] The electronic device may determine that the antenna radiator 1 is in a state where no voice and / or data services are used.

[0104] The fourth mode may be a non-cellular priority mode, such as a balanced mode.

[0105] Since the antenna radiator 1 is in a state where voice and / or data services are not being used, voice and / or data services may be used later. Since voice and / or data services require the use of a cellular network, in order to ensure the quality of voice and / or data services, as well as the use of other functions, an equalization mode is used for tuning. In this way, the cellular network and other functions can be balanced, and the resonant frequency band of the antenna radiator 1 can be adjusted to the frequency band corresponding to the cellular network and the frequency band corresponding to other functions, without affecting the transmission and reception of cellular signals or the reception of signals corresponding to other functions. If voice and / or data services are performed later, neither the services and / or data services nor other functions can be affected. Improving the balance of the resonance of the antenna radiator 1 improves the overall efficiency of signal transmission and reception, thereby improving the user experience.

[0106] Exemplarily, the voice service may be a voice call service based on the long-term evolution voice bearer (Voice over Long-Term Evolution, VoLTE) of the 4G network, a voice call service based on the new air interface bearer voice (Voice over New Radio, VoNR) of the 5G network, a voice call (CS Call) service based on the 2G and / or 3G network, etc.

[0107] The data service can be based on the long-term evolution voice bearer (Voice over Long-Term Evolution, VoLTE) of the 4G network, the new air interface bearer voice (Voice over New Radio, VoNR) of the 5G network, data services of 2G and / or 3G networks, etc.

[0108] In one embodiment, in response to the switch component 2 being in the first signal strength state and using the function and reference service corresponding to the second frequency band when the antenna radiator 1 is in the first signal strength state, the fourth mode is used for tuning.

[0109] The fourth mode may be a non-cellular priority mode, such as a balanced mode. The function corresponding to the second frequency band may be a Bluetooth function, and the second frequency band may be a frequency band corresponding to a Bluetooth signal.

[0110] When the antenna radiator 1 is in the first signal strength state and the Bluetooth function is used, it means that the signal strength of the current antenna radiator 1 in the first signal strength state is weak, and the Bluetooth function needs to be used at the same time. Therefore, in order to ensure the use of voice services and Bluetooth functions, the balanced mode is used for tuning, which can not only improve the receiving and sending effects of cellular network signals, but also improve the receiving and sending effects of Bluetooth signals, thereby improving the user experience.

[0111] In one embodiment, reference Figure 2 , is a schematic diagram of a switch assembly, the switch assembly comprising:

[0112] switch body 201; and,

[0113] A first universal control port 2011 provided on the switch body 201 is used for controlling the first mode;

[0115] Exemplarily, the switch assembly further includes:

[0116] The third control port 2013 provided on the switch body 201 is used for controlling the third mode; and / or,

[0117] The fourth control port 2014 provided on the switch body 201 is used for controlling the fourth mode.

[0118] The shape, size, material, and other specifications of the switch body 201, first universal control port 2011, second universal control port 2012, third control port 2013, and fourth control port 2014 can be determined based on usage requirements. The switch assembly can be a single-pole, multi-throw switch, which connects to different universal control ports via the switch body 201, switching to different switching modes and thus performing tuning for different modes. The third control port 2013 and the fourth control port 2014 can exist simultaneously or independently.

[0170] In response to the switch component being in a state where the antenna radiator is not using the voice and / or data service, tuning is performed using a fourth mode.

[0171] In one embodiment, in order to enable users to obtain the best experience in different scenarios, this embodiment proposes a technical solution for the mobile terminal to autonomously select Bluetooth (BT) / WIFI and cellular scenarios for different usage environments, thereby achieving the purpose of dynamically selecting working scenarios, so that users can obtain the best experience in BT / WIFI and cellular scenarios. By utilizing the RSRP / SNR monitoring mechanism to monitor whether the mobile terminal is in a strong signal field or a weak signal field, and the VOLTE / VONR module to determine whether the mobile terminal has enabled voice service, and then combining the clock signal (WCNCLK) of the wireless communication network and the specific enabling status of BT to confirm whether the user is in a cellular priority state, a WIFI optimal state, or a cellular / WIFI / BT balanced state. Ultimately, users can obtain the best signal experience in BT / WIFI and cellular scenarios.

[0172] refer to Figure 8 , is a schematic diagram of a control method for an antenna module, the method comprising:

[0173] 1. After the mobile terminal is powered on, the RSRP / SNR monitoring mechanism starts working; the VOLTE / VONR module starts working.

[0174] 2. After the RSRP / SNR monitoring mechanism starts working, it enters the RSRP / SNR signal threshold judgment mechanism, which judges the specific RSRP and SNR signal values of the current working state of the mobile terminal to determine whether the mobile terminal is in a strong signal field or a weak signal field; at the same time, the VOLTE / VONR module judges whether to enable the voice mode.

[0175] 3. If the VOLTE / VONR module enables the voice service, at this time the signal threshold judgment mechanism starts to judge the RSRP and SNR thresholds of the mobile terminal. If RSRP < X1 and SNR < X2, the mobile terminal enters the BT connection status module, and the BT connection status module judges the current BT answering status; otherwise, it enters the WCN CLK enabling judgment module.

[0176] 4. If RSRP < X1 and SNR < X2, and the BT connection status module judges that BT is in the non-answering state, the switch mode of the switch component in the antenna module is adjusted to the first mode, that is, the cellular priority mode, and the first cellular priority mode is used for adjustment, including setting the mobile terminal to the cellular priority working state. If BT is in the answering state, the switch component is in the fourth mode, and the fourth mode of the switch component is used for tuning, including setting the mobile terminal to the cellular / WIFI / BT balanced state.

[0177] 5. If the VOLTE / VONR module does not enable the voice service, the fourth mode of the switch component is used for tuning, including setting the mobile terminal to the cellular / WIFI / BT balanced state.

[0178] 6. If the signal threshold judgment mechanism judges the RSRP and SNR thresholds of the mobile terminal at this time, RSRP ≥ X1 and SNR ≥ X2, it enters the WCN CLK enabling judgment module, and whether the WCN CLK is enabled is used to judge whether the WIFI module of the current mobile terminal is working.

[0179] 7. If the WCN CLK enabling judgment module judges that the WCN CLK is enabled, the mobile terminal is set to the WIFI optimal state, otherwise the mobile terminal is set to the cellular priority state.

[0180] The solution of this embodiment is a technical solution for the mobile terminal to independently select BT / WIFI and cellular scenarios in different usage environments, enabling users to obtain the best scenario experience in scenarios such as BT / WIFI and cellular.

[0181] By utilizing the RSRP / SNR monitoring mechanism to determine whether the mobile terminal is in a strong or weak signal field, and the VOLTE / VONR module to determine whether the mobile terminal has voice service enabled, combined with the WCN CLK and the specific BT enable status, the mobile terminal can ultimately independently select cellular priority, Wi-Fi optimal state, and cellular / Wi-Fi / BT balanced state, ensuring users receive the best experience in all scenarios, including BT / Wi-Fi and cellular.

[0182] refer to Figure 9 , is a schematic diagram of another control method for the antenna module. Combined with the contents in the above table, when voice service and / or data service is currently in use, such as a voice call based on a CS Call of a 2G or 3G network, the cellular priority mode is used. Combined with the signal strength state of the antenna radiator and whether the voice service and / or data service is currently in use, if the voice service and / or data service is currently in use, and the signal strength state of the antenna radiator is the first signal strength state (weak field), the cellular priority mode is used for tuning (including the optimal state of the cellular network). If the voice service and / or data service is not in use, and the signal strength state of the antenna radiator is the first signal strength state (weak field), the cellular priority mode is used for tuning (including the optimal state of the cellular network). If the voice service and / or data service is in use, and the signal strength state of the antenna radiator is the second signal strength state (strong field), the third mode is used for tuning, such as the wireless LAN priority mode and / or GPS priority mode (including the optimal state of WIFI / GPS).

[0183] The GPS whitelist shown in the above table may include multiple map applications.

[0184] Decoupling is achieved in the system software. By tuning the matching circuit, the antenna's resonant frequency band is adjusted, prioritizing different signal types based on the current scenario. A new MHB switch not only switches the frequency band, antenna aperture, and impedance tuning, but also links mode information. This allows for distinguishing between strong and weak fields, and for Wi-Fi, GPS, and BT operating independently, switching the cellular antenna to a frequency band with minimal impact on short-range communications while maintaining sufficient cellular performance. This reduces the impact of the cellular antenna on the short-range antenna.
