Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of wireless network communication technology, specifically relating to a FEMTO base station combined with an electronic photo frame. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of mobile communication technology, users' demand for indoor network coverage quality is increasing. However, traditional macro base stations suffer severe signal attenuation when penetrating concrete buildings, resulting in insufficient indoor coverage. This is especially true in high-rise apartments or residences with complex structures, where users often face problems such as weak signals, low data rates, or even network outages. Although FEMTO base stations (home micro base stations) can effectively improve indoor signal quality through low power (approximately +15dBm) and short-range coverage (approximately 50 meters), their deployment still faces multiple challenges, including user resistance, limited equipment functionality, and complex installation and maintenance.

[0003] Statistics show that approximately 50% of mobile communications occur indoors, but concrete structures have a significant shielding effect on signals, and the receiving sensitivity of 3G / 4G phones can drop below -110dBm, making it difficult to support stable data services. Although FEMTO base stations can provide low-cost coverage via DSL or fiber optic backhaul, excessive user concerns about "base station radiation" are a major obstacle. Studies indicate that about 30% of household users refuse to install stand-alone base station equipment due to misunderstandings about electromagnetic radiation (EMF), even though the radiated power of FEMTO (typically <100mW) is only 1 / 10 of the peak power of a mobile phone.

[0004] Modern families have increasingly higher aesthetic demands and functional integration requirements for smart devices. For example, devices such as wireless routers and smart gateways need to balance practicality and home aesthetics. However, existing FEMTO base stations mostly adopt industrial designs, making them difficult to integrate into the home environment, and their functions are limited to network coverage, lacking added value.

[0005] In the existing published patent application literature, utility model patent application number CN201910725417.7 discloses a monitoring camera device with a femtocellular base station, including a housing and a camera. The camera is disposed in the housing, which is installed below the ceiling. The housing has a mounting plate that divides the inner cavity of the housing into a camera compartment and a base station compartment, with the base station compartment located above the camera compartment.

[0031] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other. Example

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, the FEMTO base station combined with the electronic photo frame includes:

[0033] Display screen 2 is fixed to the front housing 1 and is used to display electronic photos and control interface;

[0034] Mainboard 4, which is equipped with FEMTO base station module, is used to control FEMTO base station module and display screen 2. FEMTO base station module is used to extend the indoor coverage of mobile communication.

[0035] The housing consists of a front housing 1 and a rear housing 5, which are connected by bolts. The display screen 2 and the motherboard 4 are encapsulated inside the housing.

[0036] In this embodiment, the display screen 2 is an LCD display screen, which is a touch screen. The display screen 2 is electrically connected to the motherboard 4 via a flexible flat cable. The display screen 2 normally displays electronic photos. By touching the display screen 2, users can switch between electronic photos, display broadcast content, and access the control interface. The control interface can control the operation of the base station. In this embodiment, the display screen 2 can also dynamically display real-time radiation values ​​and real-time radiation value comparison charts (such as comparisons with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth devices) to educate users in a data-driven manner and dispel misconceptions about radiation.

[0037] In this embodiment, the front housing 1 is made of ABS+PC engineering plastic and the surface is treated with frosting and water transfer printing. The front housing 1 is a rectangular cover plate with transition arcs on the left and right sides. The rectangular cover plate has a through opening. The display screen 2 is fixed in the through opening of the front housing 1. The connecting part of the front housing 1 has bolt holes and is connected to the rear housing 5 by bolts.

[0038] The rear housing 5 is a boss-shaped structure with arc-shaped connecting parts on its upper and lower sides. These arc-shaped connecting parts are fixedly connected to the front housing 1 by bolts. The rear housing 5 has multiple gradient heat dissipation holes, with the hole diameter gradually decreasing from 2mm at the center to 5mm at the edge. A speaker compartment is located inside the rear housing 5, with speaker holes on it. The speaker is placed in the speaker compartment and is electrically connected to the audio / video electronic photo playback module for playing electronic photos, videos, and audio signals. The rear housing 5 has a power interface, a USB interface, a TF card interface, and a SIM card interface, which are connected to the motherboard 4. An external power supply is connected to the power interface via a power cord. External audio / video electronic photos can be stored to the electronic photo cloud storage module via the USB interface, TF card interface, or wireless network. A support plate 6 is located slightly below the center of the rear housing 5, allowing the housing to stand at a certain angle on a flat surface. The rear housing 5 also has an opening through which a hook can pass to fix the housing to a wall. In one specific embodiment, the bottom sides of the rear housing 5 are provided with support plates 6 or suspension plates, which are used to fix the housing to the wall.

[0039] The motherboard 4 is encapsulated within a housing and secured to the rear housing 5 with bolts. The motherboard 4 is a printed circuit board and houses a radio frequency module, a FEMTO base station module, a digital certificate module, an antenna module, an electronic photo cloud storage module, and an audio / video electronic photo playback module. The FEMTO base station module extends indoor mobile communication coverage, providing voice and data reception and transmission. The electronic photo cloud storage module stores electronic photos, and the audio / video electronic photo playback module displays the electronic photos on the screen of display screen 2. The motherboard 4 controls the base station, the electronic photo cloud storage module, the audio / video electronic photo playback module, and display screen 2. The digital certificate module stores security authentication digital certificates. The antenna module consists of several antennas 3 arranged in a ring on the motherboard 4 to enhance the base station's ability to receive and transmit voice and data.

[0040] When the FEMTO base station is integrated with the electronic photo frame, several FEMTO base stations forming the electronic photo frame constitute the FEMTO base station network covering the entire application environment. Each FEMTO base station device in the network not only listens for connection requests from other devices in real time, but also initiates network connection requests to the communication devices connected to it at any time as a client. Each FEMTO base station device encapsulates the data to be sent into a data packet, which encapsulates the data packet type. The encapsulated data is encrypted using the public key in the digital certificate stored in the digital certificate module of the device. When the FEMTO base station device receives data, it decrypts the encapsulated data using the public key in the digital certificate stored in the digital certificate module of the device, and decapsulates the data packet according to the data packet type.

[0041] Modern home users have a psychological need for "technological invisibility" in smart devices—that is, the technological functions need to blend naturally into the living environment to avoid exposing sensitive components and causing anxiety. As a home decoration device, electronic photo frames naturally possess visual appeal, and their appearance design is highly compatible with the home environment, effectively concealing the "technical attributes" of FEMTO base stations and reducing users' direct perception of the radiation source.

[0042] Users' preference for multifunctional devices can offset their perceived risk of single-function devices. The combination of a digital photo frame and a FEMTO base station not only provides network coverage but also enables functions such as family photo album playback, environmental sensor data display (temperature and humidity), and a smart home control panel via the screen. This "one-device-many-functions" design diverts users' attention from base station radiation by giving the device additional value, creating a psychological compensation effect. For example, users may focus more on the convenience and decorative aspects of the digital photo frame than on the hidden communication module, thus reducing their resistance.

[0043] The combination of a home-use FEMTO base station and an electronic photo frame, through a dual approach of "technological camouflage" and "psychological reassurance," not only resolves the conflict between indoor coverage quality and equipment aesthetics but also specifically alleviates users' excessive concerns about base station radiation. The decorative nature of the electronic photo frame reduces the sense of technological intrusion, while its multifunctional integration shifts the focus away from risk, and the visualized data rebuilds user trust through transparent communication. This design aligns with the trend of "invisible services" in smart homes, providing operators with an innovative solution to overcome users' psychological barriers and accelerate the widespread adoption of home micro base stations.

[0044] This utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims.
