Detailed Implementation

[0020] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this disclosure, the solutions disclosed herein will be further described below. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described herein can be combined with each other.

[0021] Numerous specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of this disclosure, but this disclosure may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein; obviously, the embodiments in the specification are only some, and not all, of the embodiments of this disclosure.

[0022] Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a network service switching method provided in an embodiment of this disclosure. This method can be executed by a terminal device. The terminal device can be exemplarily understood as a device such as a mobile phone, tablet computer, laptop computer, desktop computer, smart TV, drone, driverless car, or autonomous vehicle. Figure 1 As shown, the method provided in this embodiment includes the following steps: S101. Determine the relationship between the location information of the terminal device and the configured fence area.

[0023] In one example, the location information of the terminal device refers to geographic location information, specifically GPS geographic location information or latitude and longitude information. The configured fence area is pre-configured in the terminal device. The shape of this configured fence area can be any polygon. Specifically, the configured fence area includes latitude and longitude information and boundary location information.

[0024] For example, users can pre-configure fenced areas on their terminal devices. Specifically, this can be done through third-party map applications or by using the built-in software development kit (SDK) of a third-party map.

[0025] After configuring the fenced area, the relationship between the location information of the terminal device and the configured fenced area can be detected in real time.

[0026] S102. Determine the terrestrial network registration status of the terminal equipment.

[0027] In one example, the terminal device's terrestrial network registration status is either unregistered or registered. Specifically, the terminal device cannot use the terrestrial network when its terrestrial network registration status is unregistered. Therefore, a non-terrestrial network (NTN) is required.

[0028] NTN is an important evolution technology for new application scenarios such as satellite communication and low-altitude communication, marking the transition of 5G from the ground to space. 5G broadband NTN networks and 5G narrowband IoT NTN networks are based on 3GPP open standards, enabling compatibility between satellite and terrestrial communication systems. Through direct mobile phone connections, they rapidly expand the scale of the satellite communication industry.

[0029] With the increasing attention given to satellite communications in recent years, 3GPP, as one of the most important international standards organizations in the communications industry, has conducted research and standardization on non-terrestrial network technologies. In Release 15, 3GPP first proposed incorporating NTN into the discussion of 5G system requirements and application prospects. Entering Release 16, the 3GPP standards group conducted systematic technical research and discussions on NTN in terms of terminal equipment, radio, and core network. Regarding terminal equipment, the impact of satellite communication mobile phones based on the S / Ka band on power and energy consumption was studied. Starting with Release 17, 3GPP initiated the formal development of NTN specifications and proposed the first baseline specification versions for NR NTN and IoT NTN, aiming to guide the rapid deployment of NTN. In Release 18, the 5G satellite networking capabilities were further improved, with key features including: support for deployment in frequency bands above 10 GHz, enhanced coverage, and improved mobility and service continuity.

[0030] S103. Based on the relationship and the terrestrial network registration status, perform network services for switching terminal devices.

[0031] In one example, the specific strategy for switching the network services of a terminal device is determined by analyzing the relationship between the terminal device's location information and the configured fenced area, combined with the terminal device's terrestrial network registration status. Specifically, the terminal device's network services include non-terrestrial network services and terrestrial network services.

[0032] This disclosure provides a network service switching method, which includes: determining the relationship between the location information of a terminal device and a configured fence area, determining the terrestrial network registration status of the terminal device, and then switching the network service of the terminal device according to the relationship and the terrestrial network registration status. By adopting this technical solution, the network service can be switched in a timely manner, thereby meeting the timely communication needs of the terminal device and avoiding situations where the terminal device cannot process internal data in a timely manner due to communication failure.

[0033] Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating a network service switching method provided in an embodiment of this disclosure. This method can be executed by a terminal device. The terminal device can be exemplarily understood as a device such as a mobile phone, tablet computer, laptop computer, desktop computer, smart TV, drone, driverless car, or autonomous vehicle. Figure 2 As shown, the method provided in this embodiment includes the following steps: S201. Determine the location information of the terminal device and enter the configured fence area.

[0034] In this embodiment, determining that the location information of the terminal device has entered the configured fence area includes: The location information of the terminal device is determined to be outside the configured fence area, and the distance difference between the location information of the terminal device and the boundary location information of the configured fence area is not greater than a threshold.

[0035] In one example, the threshold could be M meters, which can be configured based on the specific device type of the terminal device. If the terminal device's location information is outside the configured fence area (i.e., the terminal device's location information has not yet fallen within the configured fence area), and the distance difference between the terminal device's location information and the boundary location information of the configured fence area satisfies the condition that it is no greater than the threshold, then the terminal device may be in a non-registered state in the terrestrial network registration state. For a clearer explanation, please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 3 This diagram illustrates the location information of a terminal device entering a configured fenced area.

[0036] S202. Based on the location information of the terminal device, enter the configured fence area and the terrestrial network registration status is unregistered, and switch the network service of the terminal device to non-terrestrial network service.

[0037] In some specific embodiments, if the location information of the terminal device enters the configured fence area and the terrestrial network registration status is unregistered, it indicates that the terminal device is unable to use terrestrial network services, and the network service of the terminal device needs to be switched to non-terrestrial network services.

[0038] In this embodiment, the terrestrial network registration status of the terminal device can be detected at a preset frequency. If the terrestrial network registration status of the terminal device is detected as registered, the terminal device continues to use terrestrial network services. If the terrestrial network registration status of the terminal device is detected as unregistered, the network service of the terminal device is switched to a non-terrestrial network service.

[0039] In this embodiment, when switching the network service of the terminal device to a non-terrestrial network service, a command to enable the non-terrestrial network service needs to be sent to the baseband module in the terminal device.

[0040] For example, if the terminal devices are drones, unmanned vehicles, or autonomous vehicles, and their location information enters a configured fenced area, ensuring network service is required to maintain communication. Therefore, when a terminal device's location information enters a configured fenced area and its terrestrial network registration status is unregistered, the network service of the terminal device is automatically switched to a non-terrestrial network service to guarantee real-time communication for the drones, unmanned vehicles, and autonomous vehicles.

[0041] For example, if the terminal device is a mobile phone or tablet, and its location information enters a configured fenced area, the mobile phone or tablet will receive a notification message. This notification message indicates that the mobile phone or tablet's location information has entered the configured fenced area, and the user can then choose to switch the mobile phone or tablet's network service to a non-terrestrial network service.

[0042] This disclosure provides a network service switching method, which includes: determining that a terminal device's location information has entered a configured fenced area; and, based on the terminal device's location information entering the configured fenced area and its terrestrial network registration status being unregistered, switching the terminal device's network service to a non-terrestrial network service. This technical solution ensures that when a terminal device enters an area without a terrestrial network, it can promptly switch to a non-terrestrial network service, thereby guaranteeing the terminal device's communication.

[0043] Figure 4 This is a flowchart illustrating a network service switching method provided in an embodiment of this disclosure. This method can be executed by a terminal device. The terminal device can be exemplarily understood as a device such as a mobile phone, tablet computer, laptop computer, desktop computer, smart TV, drone, driverless car, or autonomous vehicle. Figure 4 As shown, the method provided in this embodiment includes the following steps: S401. Determine the location information of the terminal device as it leaves the configured fence area.

[0044] In one example, determining that the terminal device's location information leaves the configured fenced area includes: The location information of the terminal device is determined to be within the configured fence area, and the distance difference between the location information of the terminal device and the boundary location information of the configured fence area is not greater than the threshold.

[0045] In this embodiment, the threshold can be M meters, which can be configured according to the specific device type of the terminal device. The terminal device's location information leaving the configured fence area specifically means that the terminal device's current location is within the configured fence area, and the distance difference between the terminal device's location and the boundary location of the configured fence area is not greater than the threshold. At this point, it indicates that the terminal device is about to enter the terrestrial network registration state. For a clearer explanation, please refer to... Figure 5 This diagram illustrates the location information of a terminal device leaving a configured fenced area.

[0046] S402. Based on the location information of the terminal device leaving the configured fence area and the terrestrial network registration status being registered, perform a switch to switch the network service of the terminal device to terrestrial network service.

[0047] In some specific embodiments, if the location information of the terminal device leaves the configured fence area and the terrestrial network registration status is registered, it indicates that the terminal device is in a situation where it can use terrestrial network services, and the network service of the terminal device can be switched to terrestrial network services.

[0048] In this embodiment, when switching the network service of the terminal device to terrestrial network service, it is necessary to send a command to the baseband module in the terminal device to disable the non-terrestrial network service.

[0049] This disclosure provides a network service switching method, which includes: determining that the location information of a terminal device leaves a configured fenced area; and, based on the terminal device's location information leaving the configured fenced area and its terrestrial network registration status being registered, switching the terminal device's network service to terrestrial network service. This technical solution ensures that when a terminal device returns from an area without terrestrial network to an area with terrestrial network, it can promptly switch its network to terrestrial network service, thereby guaranteeing the terminal device's communication.

[0051] In one example, the first determining module 601 is used for: Determine the location information of the terminal device and enter the configured fence area; In one example, module 603 is used for: If the terminal device enters the configured fenced area based on its location information and its terrestrial network registration status is unregistered, the terminal device's network service will be switched to a non-terrestrial network service.

[0052] In one example, the first determining module 601 is used for: The location information of the terminal device is determined to be outside the configured fence area, and the distance difference between the location information of the terminal device and the boundary location information of the configured fence area is not greater than a threshold.
