Technical Field

[0002] The present application relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular to an interface display method and related equipment. Background Art

[0003] With the development of terminal technology, electronic devices are becoming increasingly versatile, and can now be configured with functions such as calls and text messaging. In some emergency scenarios, users often need to communicate with the outside world through electronic devices, for example, to inform others of their location so that they can receive timely assistance.

[0004] For some people who are in the wilderness (for example, deserts, forests, etc.) or at sea, far away from human habitation, since these scenes are far away from the operator's base station, their electronic devices cannot contact the outside world through the operator's mobile communication network. Generally, they need to use a special satellite phone to contact the outside world.

[0005] Traditional satellite phones are bulky, inconvenient to carry, and expensive. If electronic devices can support satellite communication functions (for example, satellite calls, satellite text messages, etc.), users can use the satellite communication functions of electronic devices to contact the outside world in emergencies when there is no operator's mobile communication network.

[0006] Configuring an interface interaction method corresponding to the satellite communication function in an electronic device so that users can use the satellite call and / or satellite text message function through the electronic device has become a major problem to be solved.

[0007] Summary of the Invention

[0008] In view of this, it is necessary to provide an interface display method to solve the problem that electronic devices in the prior art do not have an interface interaction method corresponding to the satellite communication function.

[0009] A first aspect of an embodiment of the present application discloses an interface display method, comprising: in a situation where an electronic device cannot access a mobile communication network, in response to a user clicking a first icon in a first page displayed by the electronic device, opening a first window, the first window including a first option for connecting to a satellite; in response to the user clicking the first option, establishing a communication connection with the satellite, and executing a service corresponding to the first icon.

[0010] Using the above technical solution, the service corresponding to the first icon may include a satellite telephone service or a satellite SMS service. The first icon in the first page may be a dialing icon in a dialing interface or a send button in an SMS sending interface. When the electronic device cannot access the mobile communication network, the electronic device may respond to the user's click operation on the first icon in the first page displayed by the electronic device, open a first window for guiding the user to establish a connection between the electronic device and the satellite, and then, after the electronic device successfully establishes a communication connection with the satellite, perform a satellite call or send a satellite SMS based on the satellite communication function, so that the electronic device can quickly use the satellite call and / or satellite SMS function in response to the user's operation, reduce the complexity of the user's operation of making a satellite call / sending a satellite SMS, and improve the user experience.

[0011] In one possible implementation, the first page is a dialing interface, and in response to a user clicking a first icon in the first page displayed on the electronic device, a first window is opened, including: in response to a user clicking a first icon in the dialing interface displayed on the electronic device, a call interface is displayed, and the first window is opened, and the first window covers part of the content of the call interface.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, when the electronic device cannot access the mobile communication network, after the user clicks the first icon (dial icon) in the dialing interface, the electronic device can display the call interface and open a first window for guiding the user to establish a connection between the electronic device and the satellite. The first window covers part of the content of the call interface. The user can click the first option for connecting to the satellite in the first window so that the electronic device can attempt to establish a communication connection with the satellite. After the electronic device successfully establishes a communication connection with the satellite, the electronic device can conduct a satellite call with the called party based on the satellite communication function.

[0013] In a possible implementation, the call interface displays prompt information about the estimated call time that the remaining power of the electronic device can support.

[0014] With the above technical solution, users usually use the satellite communication function of electronic devices in more emergency scenarios. In such scenarios, the power of electronic devices is relatively precious. By displaying a prompt message on the call interface indicating the estimated call time supported by the remaining power of the electronic device, users can be reminded to conserve power, plan call time reasonably, and increase the possibility of users being successfully rescued in emergency scenarios.

[0015] In one possible implementation, when the remaining power of the electronic device is greater than a preset power, a prompt message of the estimated call time that the remaining power of the electronic device can support is displayed on the call interface in a first display mode; when the remaining power of the electronic device is less than or equal to the preset power, a prompt message of the estimated call time that the remaining power of the electronic device can support is displayed on the call interface in a second display mode that is different from the first display mode.

[0016] Using the above technical solution, the user's urgency in planning talk time varies depending on the remaining battery level. Different prompts are displayed in different forms, indicating the estimated talk time remaining with the remaining battery level, depending on whether the battery level is high or low. This allows the user to plan talk time using different strategies based on the different prompts. For example, if the battery level is set to 20%, the first display mode is to display a prompt indicating the estimated satellite talk time remaining with the current battery level upon entering the call interface. This prompt will appear for a preset duration before disappearing. The second display mode is to display the estimated satellite talk time remaining with the current battery level in a flashing manner upon entering the call interface.

[0017] In one possible implementation, an electronic device is installed with a first SIM card and a second SIM card, and a dialing interface includes a first dialing icon corresponding to the first SIM card and a second dialing icon corresponding to the second SIM card. When the electronic device establishes a communication connection with a satellite based on the first SIM card and re-enters the dialing interface, the dialing interface displays only the first dialing icon corresponding to the first SIM card; when the electronic device establishes a communication connection with a satellite based on the second SIM card and re-enters the dialing interface, the dialing interface displays only the second dialing icon corresponding to the second SIM card.

[0018] With the above technical solution, when the electronic device has not established a communication connection with the satellite and the electronic device is installed with a first SIM card and a second SIM card, the dialing interface may display a first dialing icon corresponding to the first SIM card and a second dialing icon corresponding to the second SIM card, so that the user can make a call using the first SIM card or the second SIM card. When the electronic device has established a communication connection with the satellite and the electronic device is installed with a first SIM card and a second SIM card, the dialing interface may only display the dialing icon corresponding to the SIM card used to establish the satellite communication connection, so that the user can make a satellite call. Compared with the solution in which two dialing icons are still displayed when a communication connection is established with the satellite, this solution can avoid the situation in which the user cannot initiate a satellite call by clicking on another dialing icon.

[0019] In one possible implementation, the first page is a text message conversation interface, and in response to a user clicking a first icon in the first page displayed by the electronic device, a first window is opened, including: in response to a user clicking a first icon in the text message conversation interface displayed by the electronic device, the first window is opened, and the first window covers part of the content of the text message conversation interface.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, when the electronic device cannot access the mobile communication network, the user edits the text message content to be sent, and clicks the first icon (send button) in the text message conversation interface. The electronic device can open a first window for guiding the user to establish a connection between the electronic device and the satellite. The first window covers part of the content of the text message conversation interface. The user can click the first option for connecting to the satellite in the first window so that the electronic device can attempt to establish a communication connection with the satellite. After the electronic device successfully establishes a communication connection with the satellite, the electronic device can send the text message content based on the satellite communication function.

[0021] In one possible implementation, when the electronic device cannot access a mobile communication network, a first window is opened in response to a user clicking a first icon in a first page displayed by the electronic device, including: when the electronic device detects that it is in an outdoor location and cannot access a mobile communication network, a first window is opened in response to a user clicking a first icon in a first page displayed by the electronic device.

[0022] With the above technical solution, since there may be no operator mobile communication network in indoor environments (for example, low parking lots, basements, etc.), in this case, electronic devices are generally unable to establish a connection with the satellite due to the obstruction of satellite signals by buildings, and this situation generally does not belong to a scenario requiring rescue. It can be set that when the user makes a call or sends a text message, the premise for actively guiding the user to establish a connection between the electronic device and the satellite includes detecting that the electronic device is currently outdoors, not indoors.

[0023] In one possible implementation, after executing the service corresponding to the first icon, the interface display method further includes: opening a second window, the second window including a second option for turning on the power saving mode; and turning on the power saving mode in response to the user clicking the second option.

[0024] With the above technical solution, since satellite phones or satellite text messages are generally used when users are in extreme environments to contact the outside world, the power of electronic devices is relatively precious. In order to increase the possibility of successful rescue of users, after the electronic device detects that the service corresponding to the first icon has been executed based on the satellite communication function (a satellite call has been made or a satellite text message has been sent), for example, after the satellite call is ended or the satellite text message is sent, the electronic device can automatically open a second window to prompt the user whether to turn on the power saving mode. The user can click the second option in the second window to quickly turn on the power saving mode.

[0025] In one possible implementation, in response to a user clicking on a first option, a communication connection is established with a satellite, including: in response to the user clicking on the first option, opening a third window, the third window including an alignment pattern and an alignment area for displaying the alignment pattern; in response to a user adjusting the posture of the electronic device, moving the alignment pattern so that the alignment pattern is partially displayed within the alignment area, or is fully displayed within the alignment area; and when the alignment pattern is fully displayed within the alignment area, establishing a communication connection with the satellite.

[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, the alignment status of the electronic device and the satellite is displayed in the form of dynamic effects, so that the user can intuitively determine whether the alignment of the electronic device and the satellite is completed according to whether the alignment pattern is fully displayed in the alignment area during the process of adjusting the posture of the electronic device, so that the user can adjust the posture of the electronic device in time according to the alignment dynamic effect. After completing the alignment with the satellite, the electronic device can attempt to communicate with the satellite.

[0027] In one possible implementation, in response to the user's operation of adjusting the posture of the electronic device, the alignment pattern is moved so that the alignment pattern is partially displayed within the alignment area, or the entire alignment pattern is displayed within the alignment area, including: in response to the user's operation of tilting the electronic device upward or downward, controlling the alignment pattern to move upward to be exposed within the alignment area, or controlling the alignment pattern to move downward to disappear from the alignment area; or in response to the user's operation of tilting the electronic device to the right or left, controlling the alignment pattern to move right to be exposed within the alignment area, or controlling the alignment pattern to move left to disappear from the alignment area.

[0028] Using the above technical solution, satellite alignment generally includes pitch alignment and roll alignment. The pitch alignment and roll alignment of the electronic device with the satellite are displayed through different dynamic effects. When the user adjusts the posture of the electronic device, they can intuitively determine whether the pitch alignment and roll alignment of the electronic device with the satellite are completed based on whether the alignment pattern is fully displayed in the alignment area. Pitch alignment can be achieved based on the user's operation of tilting the electronic device up or down. As the user tilts the electronic device up or down, the alignment pattern can move upward to appear in the alignment area, or move downward to disappear from the alignment area. When the alignment pattern is fully displayed in the alignment area, it indicates that the pitch alignment with the satellite is complete. Roll alignment can be achieved based on the user's operation of tilting the electronic device right or left. As the user tilts the electronic device right or left, the alignment pattern can move rightward to appear in the alignment area, or move leftward to disappear from the alignment area. When the alignment pattern is fully displayed in the alignment area, it indicates that the roll alignment with the satellite is complete.

[0029] In one possible implementation, the interface display method also includes: in response to a user sliding operation on the third window, folding the third window into a preset display form, the preset display form being any one of a banner window, a floating window, and a smart capsule; or after a preset length of time of establishing a communication connection with the satellite, folding the third window into a preset display form.

[0030] Using the above technical solution, the third window can refer to the satellite connection status interface. By collapsing the third window into any one of a smaller banner window, floating window, or smart capsule, the visual or operational impact of the third window blocking the content of the lower interface on the user can be reduced.

[0031] In one possible implementation, the third window covers part of the content of the second page, and the interface display method further includes: in response to a user's click operation on the second page, moving the third window folded into a preset display form from the first position to a second position different from the first position.

[0032] By adopting the above technical solution, when the user operates the lower interface of the third window, by moving the third window that is folded into the preset display form from the first position to a second position different from the first position, the visual impact or operational impact on the user caused by the third window that is folded into the preset display form blocking the content of the lower interface can be further reduced. For example, the lower interface of the third window is a satellite phone dialing interface, and the default display position of the third window that is folded into the preset display form is the upper area of ​​the satellite phone dialing interface. When the user dials in the keyboard dialing area, the third window that is folded into the preset display form can automatically move to the area between the keyboard dialing area and the number display area to avoid blocking the number display area, thereby improving the user's dialing experience.

[0033] In a second aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides an interface display method, which is applied to an electronic device. The method includes: in response to a user clicking operation on a first page displayed on the electronic device, moving a first window from a first position to a second position different from the first position, the first window is used to display the connection status of the electronic device and the satellite, the first window covers part of the content of the first page, and the first window is displayed on the first page in a preset display form, and the preset display form is any one of a banner window, a floating window, and a smart capsule.

[0034] Using the above technical solution, the first window can be a satellite connection status interface. When the electronic device establishes a communication connection with the satellite and the satellite connection status interface is folded into any one of a banner window, a floating window, and a smart capsule, for the first page displayed under the first window, an active avoidance rule for the first window can be configured accordingly to reduce the visual impact or operational impact caused by the first window being displayed above the first page and the user operating the first page.

[0035] In one possible implementation, an electronic device is installed with a first SIM card and a second SIM card, and a first page is a dialing interface. When the electronic device has not established a communication connection with a satellite, the dialing interface includes a first dialing icon corresponding to the first SIM card and a second dialing icon corresponding to the second SIM card. When the electronic device establishes a communication connection with a satellite based on the first SIM card, the dialing interface only displays the first dialing icon corresponding to the first SIM card; when the electronic device establishes a communication connection with a satellite based on the second SIM card, the dialing interface only displays the second dialing icon corresponding to the second SIM card.

[0036] By adopting the above technical solution, when the electronic device has not established a communication connection with the satellite and the electronic device is installed with a first SIM card and a second SIM card, the dialing interface can display a first dialing icon corresponding to the first SIM card and a second dialing icon corresponding to the second SIM card, so that the user can make a call using the first SIM card or the second SIM card. When the electronic device has established a communication connection with the satellite and the electronic device is installed with a first SIM card and a second SIM card, the dialing interface can only display the dialing icon corresponding to the SIM card used to establish the satellite communication connection, so that the user can make a satellite call. Compared with the solution of still displaying two dialing icons when a communication connection is established with the satellite, this solution can avoid the situation where the user cannot initiate a satellite call by clicking the dialing icon corresponding to the other SIM card.

[0037] In one possible implementation, the first page is a dialing interface, and in response to a user clicking operation on the first page displayed by the electronic device, the first window is moved from a first position to a second position different from the first position, including: in response to a user clicking operation on the keyboard dialing area in the dialing interface, the first window is moved from a first position to a second position, the first position is the number display area in the dialing interface, and the second position is the area between the number display area and the keyboard dialing area in the dialing interface.

[0038] Using the above technical solution, the first page is the satellite phone dialing interface, and the default display position of the first window that is folded into the preset display form is generally the upper area of ​​the satellite phone dialing interface. When the user dials in the keyboard dialing area, the first window that is folded into the preset display form can automatically move to the area between the keyboard dialing area and the number display area to avoid blocking the number display area, thereby improving the user's dialing experience.

[0039] In one possible implementation, the keyboard dialing area includes a dialing icon, and the interface display method further includes: in response to a user clicking the dialing icon, displaying a call interface, the call interface displaying prompt information of the call time that the remaining power of the electronic device is expected to support.

[0040] With the above technical solution, users usually use the satellite communication function of electronic devices in more emergency scenarios. In such scenarios, the power of electronic devices is relatively precious. By displaying a prompt message on the call interface indicating the estimated call time supported by the remaining power of the electronic device, users can be reminded to conserve power, plan call time reasonably, and increase the possibility of users being successfully rescued in emergency scenarios.

[0041] In a possible implementation, the interface display method further includes: when the call is ended, opening a second window, the second window including an option for turning on a power saving mode; and turning on the power saving mode in response to a user clicking on the option.

[0042] With the above technical solution, since satellite phones or satellite text messages are generally used when users are in extreme environments to contact the outside world, the power of electronic devices is relatively precious. In order to increase the possibility of successful rescue of users, the electronic device can automatically open a second window to prompt the user whether to turn on the power saving mode after detecting the end of the satellite call. The user can click the second option in the second window to quickly turn on the power saving mode.

[0043] In one possible implementation, in response to a user clicking operation on a first page displayed by an electronic device, before moving the first window from a first position to a second position different from the first position, the interface display method further includes: in a case where an alignment pattern and an alignment area for displaying the alignment pattern are displayed in the first window, in response to a user adjusting the posture of the electronic device, moving the alignment pattern so that the alignment pattern is partially displayed within the alignment area, or is fully displayed within the alignment area; and in a case where the alignment pattern is fully displayed within the alignment area, establishing a communication connection with the satellite.

[0044] By adopting the above technical solution, the alignment status of the electronic device and the satellite is displayed in the form of dynamic effects, so that the user can intuitively determine whether the alignment of the electronic device and the satellite is completed according to whether the alignment pattern is fully displayed in the alignment area during the process of adjusting the posture of the electronic device, so that the user can adjust the posture of the electronic device in time according to the alignment dynamic effect. After completing the alignment with the satellite, the electronic device can attempt to communicate with the satellite.

[0045] In a third aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a computer-readable storage medium comprising computer instructions. When the computer instructions are executed on an electronic device, the electronic device executes the interface display method as described in the first aspect or the second aspect.

[0046] In a fourth aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides an electronic device, which includes a processor and a memory, the memory being used to store instructions, and the processor being used to call the instructions in the memory so that the electronic device executes the interface display method described in the first aspect or the second aspect.

For example, A and / or B can mean: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. "At least one" means one or more. "Multiple" means two or more than two. For example, at least one of a, b or c can mean: a, b, c, a and b, a and c, b and c, a, b and c.

[0073] With the development of terminal technology, satellite communication functions can be integrated into electronic devices. In this way, electronic devices can make satellite calls with other electronic devices or send satellite messages based on satellite communication functions in the absence of operator mobile communication networks, making it easier for users to contact the outside world in extreme environments (for example, in deserts, forests, at sea, etc. far away from human habitation).

[0074] After the satellite communication function is integrated into the electronic device, it also needs to be equipped with a corresponding human-computer interaction interface (also called a user interface) to facilitate users to make satellite calls and / or send satellite text messages on the electronic device.

[0075] In order to solve the above technical problems, an embodiment of the present application provides an interface display method, which can solve the problem that existing electronic devices lack a user interface corresponding to the satellite communication function.

[0076] The interface display method of the embodiment of the present application can be applied to various types of electronic devices that support satellite communication functions. The electronic device can be a mobile phone, a tablet computer (portable android device, Pad), a wearable device (such as a smart watch), a vehicle-mounted device, and other electronic devices. The electronic device can be, for example, a device equipped with Windows Or devices with other operating systems, which are not limited in this application. The embodiment of this application is described by taking the electronic device as a mobile phone as an example.

[0077] The user interface (UI) in the embodiment of the present application is a medium interface for interaction and information exchange between an application or operating system and a user, which can realize the conversion between the internal form of information and the form acceptable to the user (such as a visual operating environment). The term user interface may refer to the text contained in the user interface, and the text language may be Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, French, Russian, German, Portuguese, etc. The user interface of an application may be a source code written in a specific computer language such as JAVA or extensible markup language (XML). The interface source code is parsed and rendered on an electronic device, and is ultimately presented as content that the user can recognize, such as pictures, text, buttons and other controls. Controls are the basic elements of the user interface. Typical controls include buttons, widgets, toolbars, menu bars, text boxes, scroll bars, images and text. The properties and contents of controls in the interface are defined by tags or nodes, such as XML through <textview> 、 <imgview> 、 <videoview>The controls contained in the interface are specified by nodes such as <head> and <body>. A node corresponds to a control or attribute in the interface, and the node is presented as user-visible content after parsing and rendering. In addition, many applications, such as hybrid applications, usually also contain web pages in their interfaces. A web page, also known as a page, can be understood as a special control embedded in the application interface. A web page is a source code written in a specific computer language, such as hypertext markup language (HTML), cascading style sheets (CSS), JAVA scripts (JavaScript, JS), etc. The web page source code can be loaded and displayed as user-recognizable content by a browser or a web page display component with similar functions to a browser. The specific content contained in a web page is also defined by tags or nodes in the web page source code, such as HTML through <body>. 、 、 <video> 、 <canvas>To define the elements and attributes of a web page. The display interface, application program interface, and other interfaces in the embodiments of the present application can all be referred to as user interfaces.

[0078] A common form of user interface is a graphical user interface (GUI), which refers to a user interface related to computer operations that uses graphics to display. It can be an icon, window, control, or other interface element displayed on the display of an electronic device.

[0079] In some embodiments, an electronic device may be installed with one or more APPs (Applications). APPs, which can be referred to as applications, are software programs that can implement one or more specific functions.

[0147] The input manager can be used to monitor user input events, such as click events and slide events performed by the user's finger on the display screen 193 of the electronic device 100. By monitoring the input events, the electronic device 100 can determine whether the electronic device is being used.

[0148] The sensor manager is used to monitor the data returned by various sensors in the electronic device, such as motion sensor data, proximity sensor data, temperature sensor data, etc. Using the data returned by each sensor, the electronic device can determine whether it is shaking or whether the display screen 193 is blocked.

[0149] Android Runtime includes core libraries and a virtual machine. Android runtime is responsible for scheduling and management of the Android system.

[0150] The core library consists of two parts: one is the function that needs to be called by the Java language, and the other is the Android core library.

[0151] The application layer and application framework layer run in a virtual machine. The virtual machine executes Java files in the application layer and application framework layer as binary files. The virtual machine manages object lifecycles, stack management, thread management, security and exception management, and garbage collection.

[0152] The system library can include multiple functional modules, such as surface manager, media library, 3D graphics processing library (such as OpenGL ES), 2D graphics engine (such as SGL), etc.

[0153] The surface manager is used to manage the display subsystem and provide fusion of 2D and 3D layers for multiple applications.

[0154] The media library supports playback and recording of a variety of common audio and video formats, as well as static image files. The media library can support a variety of audio and video encoding formats, such as: MPEG4, H.264, MP3, AAC, AMR, JPG, PNG, etc.

[0155] The 3D graphics processing library is used to implement 3D graphics drawing, image rendering, compositing, and layer processing.

[0156] A 2D graphics engine is a drawing engine for 2D drawings.

[0157] The kernel layer is the layer between the hardware (hardware layer) and the software. The kernel layer contains at least the display driver, camera driver, audio driver, and sensor driver. The hardware layer can include the display, camera, sensors, etc.

[0158] As shown in Figure 3a, for a SIM card installed in an electronic device, if the operator to which the SIM card belongs operates a satellite communication service and the SIM card has activated the satellite communication service, the electronic device can normally use the satellite communication function based on the SIM card. Specifically, the process of the electronic device attempting to use the satellite communication function may include:

[0159] (i) In response to a first operation by the user, the electronic device turns on the satellite communication function.

[0160] For example, the setting interface of the electronic device includes a "satellite network" option, and the electronic device can respond to the user's first operation on the "satellite network" option to enable the satellite communication function.

[0161] (ii) Electronic equipment for star search and pointing.

[0162] After enabling satellite communication, an electronic device can automatically perform satellite search and alignment (searching for and aligning with satellites). To operate satellite communication services, the carrier to which the SIM card belongs deploys multiple mobile communication satellites in geosynchronous orbit. This process allows the electronic device to request a communication connection with a mobile communication satellite. For example, using the Tiantong satellite as an example, the electronic device performs satellite search and alignment to request a communication connection with the Tiantong satellite.

[0163] (iii) The electronic device initiates network registration with the Tiantong satellite.

[0164] After the electronic device has searched for the Tiantong satellite and completed alignment with the Tiantong satellite, it can initiate network registration with the Tiantong satellite. If the SIM card installed in the electronic device has activated the satellite communication service, the electronic device can successfully perform network registration on the Tiantong satellite.

[0165] (iv) The electronic equipment establishes a communication connection with the Tiantong satellite.

[0166] After the electronic device successfully performs network registration on the Tiantong satellite, the electronic device establishes a communication connection with the Tiantong satellite, that is, the electronic device has been successfully connected to the Tiantong satellite.

[0167] (v) In response to the user's second operation, the electronic device initiates a satellite call and / or sends a satellite text message.

[0168] After an electronic device establishes a communication connection with the Tiantong satellite, the user can use the electronic device's satellite communication function to make satellite calls with other electronic devices or send satellite messages, thereby maintaining contact with the outside world even when the operator's mobile communication network is unavailable. For example, the electronic device can provide a satellite phone dial pad on the dialing interface and initiate a satellite call in response to the user's second operation on the satellite phone dial pad. Alternatively, the electronic device can send a satellite message in response to the user's second operation on the text message interface.

[0169] As shown in Figure 3b, if the operator to which the SIM card belongs operates a satellite communication service, but the SIM card installed in the electronic device does not have satellite communication service activated, the electronic device cannot use the satellite communication function based on the SIM card. Specifically, the process of the electronic device attempting to use the satellite communication function may include:

[0170] (i) In response to a first operation by the user, the electronic device turns on the satellite communication function.

[0171] (ii) Electronic equipment for star search and pointing.

[0172] (iii) The electronic device initiates network registration with the Tiantong satellite.

[0173] (iv) If the network registration fails, the electronic device outputs a first prompt message.

[0174] Because the SIM card installed in the electronic device has not activated the satellite communication service, the electronic device cannot register on the Tiantong satellite, and the electronic device cannot connect to the Tiantong satellite. The electronic device can output a first prompt message in the form of a pop-up window, for example, the first prompt message is "The satellite communication service of the SIM card has not been activated."

[0175] As shown in Figure 3c, if the operator to which the SIM card belongs does not operate a satellite communication service, the electronic device cannot use the satellite communication function based on the SIM card. Specifically, the process of the electronic device attempting to use the satellite communication function may include:

[0176] (i) In response to a first operation by the user, the electronic device turns on the satellite communication function.

[0177] (ii) Electronic equipment for star search and pointing.

[0178] (iii) If the star search and alignment fails, the electronic device outputs a second prompt message.

[0179] Because the operator to which the SIM card belongs does not operate satellite communication services, the electronic device cannot complete satellite search and alignment. The electronic device can output a second prompt message in the form of a pop-up window. For example, the second prompt message is "No SIM card supporting satellite communication services has been inserted" or "No SIM card of XX operator has been inserted."

[0180] 4 , taking the case where the operator to which the SIM card installed in the electronic device belongs operates a satellite communication service and the satellite corresponding to the satellite communication service is the Tiantong satellite as an example, the process of the electronic device using the satellite communication function is described in detail.

[0181] (1) Turn on the satellite communication switch to enable the satellite communication function.

[0182] The setting interface of the electronic device may include a "Satellite Network" option. After the user clicks the "Satellite Network" option, the user can enter the activation interface of the satellite communication function. The activation interface of the satellite communication function may be provided with an "Enable" control for the satellite communication function. The user can turn on the satellite communication function by clicking the "Enable" control.

[0183] In some embodiments, the user can also enable the satellite communication function through the "Satellite Network" APP icon displayed on the desktop or the "Satellite Network" icon or option displayed from the control center.

[0184] (2) Power on the satellite communication module to try to connect to the Tiantong satellite.

[0185] In order to improve the battery life of electronic devices, when the satellite communication function is not turned on, the satellite communication module of the electronic device can be in a power-off sleep state. When the satellite communication function is turned on, the satellite communication module can enter a power-on state and try to connect to the Tiantong satellite through the satellite communication module.

[0186] (3) When the satellite communication module is powered on, the mobile communication module (cellular network function is unavailable), the wireless communication module (Wi-Fi network function, NFC function, etc. are unavailable), and the camera module (shooting function is unavailable) are powered off.

[0187] In order to avoid system interference between the mobile communication module, wireless communication module, camera module, etc. and the satellite communication module, the mobile communication module, wireless communication module, camera module, etc. can be powered off while the satellite communication module is powered on, or the mobile communication network, wireless communication network and camera function can be turned off at the software level.

[0188] In some embodiments, users use the satellite communication function of electronic devices usually in more emergency scenarios. In such scenarios, the power of electronic devices is relatively precious. Powering off the mobile communication module, wireless communication module, camera module, etc. can also reduce the power consumption of electronic devices, extend the standby time of electronic devices, and increase the possibility of successful rescue.

[0189] (4) When the satellite communication module is powered on, perform satellite search and alignment.

[0190] (5) If the star search and / or alignment fails, the corresponding interface prompt message will be output.

[0191] Time thresholds may be set for satellite search and satellite alignment. These time thresholds can be set based on actual needs and are not limited in the present embodiment. For example, the time threshold may be 60 seconds, 90 seconds, or 120 seconds. If satellite search is unsuccessful within the satellite search time threshold, the electronic device may output a prompt message stating "Satellite search failed." If satellite search is successful but satellite alignment is unsuccessful within the satellite alignment time threshold, the electronic device may output a prompt message stating "Satellite connection timed out."

[0192] In some embodiments, if the electronic device fails to search for satellites, the electronic device may exit the search and alignment process in response to a user operation, i.e., exit the satellite connection, or perform the search and alignment process again in response to a user operation to try to establish a satellite connection again.

[0193] In some embodiments, when entering the satellite search state, the satellite connection status interface may display a satellite search countdown. After the satellite search countdown ends, if the electronic device has not completed the satellite search, the electronic device may output a prompt message "Satellite search failed." After a successful satellite search, the satellite connection status interface displays a connection countdown. After the connection countdown ends, if the electronic device has not completed the connection with the satellite, the electronic device may output a prompt message "Satellite connection timed out."

[0194] In some embodiments, possible reasons for satellite search failure, or successful satellite search but failure to connect to satellites may include, but are not limited to: the electronic device is in a non-open area, causing the satellite signal to be blocked by environmental objects, the satellite signal is weak due to the obstruction of the electronic device protective case, the satellite angle is wrong, the satellite search timeout, etc.

[0195] (6) If the satellite search and alignment are successful, initiate network registration with the Tiantong satellite.

[0196] (7) If the SIM card has satellite communication service activated, the network registration is successful and a connection is established with the Tiantong satellite.

[0197] (8) In response to the user's second operation, executing satellite call and / or satellite text message services.

[0198] After the electronic device establishes a communication connection with the Tiantong satellite, the user can use the satellite communication function of the electronic device to make satellite calls with other electronic devices or send satellite messages. For example, the electronic device can respond to the user's second operation on the dialing interface to initiate a satellite call to a specified contact, or the electronic device can respond to the user's second operation on the text message interface to send a satellite message to a specified contact.

[0199] (9) If the SIM card does not have satellite communication service activated, network registration fails and a communication connection with the Tiantong satellite cannot be established, and a corresponding prompt message will be displayed.

[0200] If the SIM card installed in the electronic device does not have the satellite communication service activated, the electronic device cannot register on the Tiantong satellite, that is, the electronic device cannot connect to the Tiantong satellite. The electronic device may display a prompt message that "the satellite communication service on the SIM card is not activated", or may display a prompt message that "Tiantong satellite is only for XX card users. Please contact XX to activate this service before using this service."

[0201] In some embodiments, the reasons for being unable to register on the Tiantong satellite may include: the International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) of the electronic device is not registered with the XX operator, the SIM card of the electronic device is not activated for satellite communication services, the SIM card of the electronic device is not activated for roaming, etc.

[0202] (10) Disconnect the communication connection with the Tiantong satellite.

[0203] After establishing a communication connection with the Tiantong satellite, the electronic device can also disconnect the communication connection with the Tiantong satellite. The disconnection method can include active disconnection and passive disconnection.

[0204] Active disconnection occurs when a user proactively shuts down the communication connection between an electronic device and a Tiantong satellite. Users can proactively shut down the communication connection between an electronic device and a Tiantong satellite through the satellite exit interface or the satellite switch interface. For example, the satellite exit interface is an interface within the "Satellite Network" app. Users click the "Disconnect" control within the "Satellite Network" app to disconnect the communication connection with the Tiantong satellite. For example, the satellite switch interface is an interface within the control center that contains the "Satellite Network" icon. Users click the "Satellite Network" icon (grayed out) displayed in the control center to disconnect the communication connection with the Tiantong satellite.

[0205] Passive disconnection can occur when an electronic device loses a satellite. This can occur when the connection with a Tiantong satellite changes from connected to disconnected due to a change in the electronic device's location. For example, after an electronic device establishes a communication connection with a Tiantong satellite, changes in the user's location or holding posture may cause the connection to be disconnected.

[0206] In the event that the satellite is lost for a preset time (also known as a satellite loss timeout), the electronic device may display a corresponding prompt message. The preset time can be set according to actual needs, and the embodiment of the present application is not limited to this. For example, the preset time is 60 seconds. The corresponding prompt message may be a pop-up prompt message that reads "No connection with the satellite for 60 seconds, about to exit Tiantong satellite communication." The pop-up prompt message may include options for "Continue to use" and "Exit (x seconds)." If the user does not click the "Continue to use" option before the exit countdown of x seconds, the electronic device will automatically turn off the satellite communication function.

[0207] (11) Turn off the satellite communication switch.

[0208] After disconnecting the communication connection with the Tiantong satellite, the electronic device can automatically or in response to a user operation turn off the satellite communication switch. When the electronic device turns off the satellite communication switch, the satellite communication module is powered off.

[0209] In the case where the electronic device turns off the satellite communication switch, the electronic device can also turn on the satellite communication switch again in response to a user operation.

[0210] (12) The satellite communication module is powered off.

[0211] (13) When the satellite communication module is powered off, the mobile communication module (cellular network function is restored to be available), the wireless communication module (Wi-Fi network function and NFC function are restored to be available), and the camera module (shooting function is restored to be available) are powered on.

[0212] 5a and 5b , which illustrate the satellite communication function using the Tiantong satellite as an example, briefly illustrating the operational flow of using the satellite communication function.

[0213] Figure 5a (a) is a schematic diagram of an activation interface I1 for the satellite communication function. This interface I1 includes an "Enable" control, which a user can click to activate the satellite communication function. The click operation in this embodiment of the present application can be a click performed by a user's finger or a click performed by a stylus. This embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific form of the click operation.

[0214] After the user clicks the "Enable" control, an interface showing that the electronic device is connecting to the Tiantong satellite (satellite connection status interface 10) may be displayed. The satellite connection status interface 10 is shown in (b) of FIG5a. The satellite connection status interface 10 covers a portion of the activation interface I1. The satellite connection status interface 10 can be folded and displayed in the form of a banner window 11 (refer to (a) of FIG5b). This can reduce the visual or operational impact of the satellite connection status interface 10 blocking the content of the underlying interface on the user. In (b) of FIG5a, the satellite connection status interface 10 can also display a satellite connection countdown (for example, starting the countdown from 120 seconds). Before the connection countdown ends, if a connection with the Tiantong satellite cannot be established, the connection timeout interface shown in (c) of FIG5a may be displayed; if a connection with the Tiantong satellite is successfully established before the connection countdown ends, the connection success interface shown in (d) of FIG5a may be displayed.

[0215] If the connection to the Tiantong satellite fails, the user can be prompted that the satellite connection has timed out by displaying the interface shown in (c) of FIG. 5a. In (c) of FIG. 5a, the satellite connection status interface 10 can also display a "Reconnect" control. The user can click the "Reconnect" control to retry establishing a connection with the Tiantong satellite. After the user clicks the "Reconnect" control, the interface shown in (b) of FIG. 5a can be displayed again.

[0216] When the connection with the Tiantong satellite is successful, the user can be prompted that the satellite connection is successful by displaying the interface shown in (d) in Figure 5a. In the satellite connection status interface 10 in (d) in Figure 5a, the signal strength of the electronic device connected to the Tiantong satellite can be displayed in real time through the number of signal bars.

[0217] After the interface shown in FIG5a(d) is displayed, if the user collapses the satellite connection status interface 10, for example by swiping down or swiping up, the satellite service usage interface I2 shown in FIG5b(a) may be displayed. In FIG5b(a), the collapsed satellite connection status interface 10 is displayed in the form of a banner window 11, which covers a portion of the satellite service usage interface I2.

[0218] In Figure 5b (a), a "Satellite Phone" icon and a "Satellite SMS" icon are also displayed. Clicking the "Satellite Phone" icon enters the satellite phone dialing interface (as shown in Figure 5b (b)). Clicking the "Satellite SMS" icon enters the satellite SMS editing interface. The "Satellite Phone" icon in the satellite service usage interface I2 has a satellite icon added to the regular "Phone" icon (e.g., when not connected to a satellite), and the "Satellite SMS" icon has a satellite icon added to the regular "SMS" icon to distinguish it from the regular "Phone" icon.

[0219] In (a) of FIG5b, a "disconnect" control may also be displayed. The user may click the "disconnect" control to actively disconnect from the Tiantong satellite.

[0220] After the interface (a) in Figure 5b is displayed, if the user clicks the "Satellite Phone" icon, the interface (b) in Figure 5b may be displayed. In Figure 5b (b), the satellite phone dialing interface and a banner window 11 suspended above the satellite phone dialing interface are displayed (banner window 11 is used to display the satellite connection status). The satellite phone dialing interface includes a keypad dialing area, in which the dial icon in the keypad dialing area has a satellite icon added to the original dial icon. For example, information displayed in banner window 11 includes satellite signal status information, signal bar count, handheld electronic device posture prompt information, longitude / latitude, altitude, and other information.

[0221] After the interface shown in FIG5b(b) is displayed, the user can return to the desktop by swiping up (e.g., swiping up from the bottom of the screen), which displays the desktop interface shown in FIG5b(c). In FIG5b(c), the phone icon displayed on the desktop interface is a "satellite phone" icon, and the SMS icon is a "satellite SMS" icon, prompting the user that the electronic device is currently connected to a satellite and can make satellite calls or send satellite SMS messages. A banner window 11 is also displayed on the desktop interface (banner window 11 is used to display the satellite connection status).

[0222] The following describes in detail the schematic diagram of the operation flow of enabling the satellite communication function in conjunction with Figures 6a-6f.

[0223] Satellite communication can be enabled in electronic devices in a variety of ways. Figure 6a illustrates three ways to enable satellite communication. Figure 6a (a) shows a settings interface that includes a "Satellite Network" option 12. A user can click "Satellite Network" option 12 on the settings interface to access the satellite communication activation interface shown in Figure 6b.

[0224] FIG6a(b) illustrates that the desktop includes a "Satellite Network" app icon 13. A user can click on "Satellite Network" app icon 13 to access the satellite communication function activation interface shown in FIG6b. FIG6a(c) illustrates that the control center includes a "Satellite Network" icon 14. A user can click on "Satellite Network" icon 14 in the control center to access the satellite communication function activation interface shown in FIG6b.

[0225] In (a) of Figure 6b, if the user is turning on the satellite communication function for the first time, the initial use instructions interface of the satellite communication function may be displayed. The initial use instructions interface includes instructions for using Tiantong satellite communication and displays two options: "Cancel" and "Agree". If the user clicks the "Cancel" option, the user may return to the previous interface, for example, return to the interface shown in (a), (b), or (c) of Figure 6a. If the user clicks the "Agree" option, the user may enter the activation interface shown in (b) of Figure 6b. The activation interface shown in (b) of Figure 6b includes an "Enable" control. When the electronic device enters the activation interface shown in (b) of Figure 6b, the status bar may also display a satellite badge, which may be located to the left of the battery power indicator icon.

[0226] In the activation interface shown in (b) in Figure 6b, a prompt message of "Only XX cards are supported" (for example, "Only telecom cards are supported") may also be displayed. When the user clicks on the prompt message of "Only XX cards are supported", a pop-up box may be displayed saying "Tiantong satellite communication is only for XX card users. Please contact XX to activate this service before using this service". The user may also close the pop-up box by clicking on the "Got it" option in the pop-up box. In other embodiments, before outputting the above prompt "Only XX cards are supported", it may be determined whether the SIM card currently used by the electronic device is a SIM card that supports the communication function of the Tiantong satellite. If the user's terminal device uses a SIM card that supports the communication function of the Tiantong satellite, there is no need to display the prompt message of "Only XX cards are supported".

[0227] In some embodiments, if it is not the first time for the user to enable the satellite communication function, the user may directly skip (a) in FIG. 6 b and directly display the activation interface shown in (b) in FIG. 6 b .

[0228] In some embodiments, it may also be configured that the first-time use instruction interface shown in (a) of FIG. 6 b is displayed each time the satellite communication function is enabled.

[0229] In some embodiments, when a user clicks the "Enable" control shown in (b) of FIG. 6b and the electronic device is currently in airplane mode, a pop-up window shown in (a) of FIG. 6c may appear. The pop-up window may contain the following content: "Turn off airplane mode. Tiantong satellite communications cannot be used when airplane mode is enabled. Do you want to turn it off?" The pop-up window includes "Cancel" and "Off" options. If the user clicks the "Cancel" option, the Tiantong satellite communications function will not be available because airplane mode is not turned off.

[0230] If the user clicks the "Off" option, which turns off airplane mode, a pop-up window (b) in Figure 6c appears. This window may state, "When using satellite communication, WLAN, mobile data, and location information will be turned off, the camera will be disabled, and related services will be unavailable to avoid system interference." The window also includes "Cancel" and "OK" options. If the user clicks the "Cancel" option, Tiantong satellite communication will be unavailable. If the user clicks the "OK" option, the pop-up window (c) in Figure 6c may be displayed, or the satellite connection status interface 10 shown in Figure 6d (a) may be opened.

[0231] In some embodiments, when the user clicks the "Enable" control shown in (b) in Figure 6b and the electronic device is not currently in airplane mode, the pop-up box shown in (b) in Figure 6c can be popped up directly.

[0232] The pop-up window shown in (c) of FIG. 6c is a prompt window for selecting a card when using the Tiantong satellite function for the first time. The pop-up window includes options such as "Card 1," "Card 2," "Cancel," and "OK," as well as related card selection prompts. For example, the card selection prompt reads: "Select SIM card. Please select the SIM card to make calls and send and receive text messages when connected to the satellite, and confirm that the relevant functions have been activated for this card with the operator." The user can select "Card 1" or "Card 2" in this pop-up window and click "OK" to complete the SIM card selection. Subsequently, the satellite connection status interface 10 shown in (a) of FIG. 6d is opened. The satellite connection status interface 10 is located above and partially covers the activation interface shown in (b) of FIG. 6b.

[0233] In some embodiments, if the electronic device has set a SIM card as the SIM card for connecting to the Tiantong satellite before turning on the satellite communication function, the user does not need to select a SIM card, and the card selection prompt box displays the default selected SIM card, or the card selection prompt box is not displayed.

[0234] In some embodiments, if the electronic device does not support dual-SIM dual-standby or the electronic device has only one SIM card installed, the pop-up box shown in (c) in FIG. 6c can be skipped.

[0235] In some embodiments, the interface shown in (b) of FIG. 6b further includes an "About" icon 15, and the user can switch SIM cards by clicking the "About" icon 15. For example, when the user clicks the "About" icon 15, the interface shown in (c) of FIG. 6b may be displayed, which includes "Introduction to Use," "Tiantong Satellite Communication User Agreement," and "Stop Tiantong Satellite Communication Service" options. The user can switch SIM cards using the "Introduction to Use" option.

[0236] If the user clicks the "Stop Tiantong Satellite Communication Service" option, a pop-up window may appear, as shown in (d) of Figure 6b. This pop-up window may include a prompt message, "Cancel," and "Stop" options. The prompt message may read: "If you stop this service, you will no longer be able to continue with related functions. Are you sure you want to stop the service?" Clicking "Cancel" does not stop the Tiantong Satellite Communication Service. Clicking "Stop" does not.

[0237] In the satellite connection status interface 10 shown in (a) of FIG6d , a prompt message and an animation for searching for satellites may be displayed. The prompt message for searching for satellites may include "Searching for satellites in an open area to avoid blocking satellite information." The animation for searching for satellites may include a fan-shaped area 102 of a specified color (e.g., blue) rotating around the globe 101, with the globe 101 as the center area.

[0238] If the satellite search fails, the satellite connection status interface 10 displays the content shown in FIG6d(b). The satellite connection status interface 10 shown in FIG6d(b) includes a prompt indicating the satellite search failure and a "Reconnect" control. The prompt may include "Satellite search failed. Please stay in an open area or remove the phone case and try again." If the user clicks the "Reconnect" control, the electronic device can perform another satellite search.

[0239] If the satellite search is successful, the satellite connection status interface 10 displays the content shown in (a) of Figure 6e. The satellite connection status interface 10 shown in (a) of Figure 6e includes a connecting countdown (for example, starting at 120 seconds), a connecting prompt, a connecting animation, and the current longitude, latitude, and altitude of the electronic device. The connecting prompt may include "Connecting (***s) Already aligned with the satellite, please confirm that there are no buildings or trees blocking this direction." The connecting animation may include an animation of the earth image 101 continuously receiving signals transmitted by the satellite image 103.

[0240] In some embodiments, the satellite connection status interface 10 shown in (a) of FIG. 6e can also be folded by sliding down, as shown in (b) of FIG. 6e , where the satellite connection status interface 10 is displayed in the form of a banner window 11 after being folded.

[0241] Before the countdown ends, if a connection is successfully established with the Tiantong satellite, the content displayed on the satellite connection status interface 10 is as shown in (c) of Figure 6e. Before the countdown ends, if a connection is not successfully established with the Tiantong satellite, the interface shown in (d) of Figure 6e may be displayed. The interface shown in (d) of Figure 6e includes a satellite connection timeout prompt message and a "Reconnect" control. The satellite connection timeout prompt message may be: "Satellite connection timeout. Please rotate the phone as prompted to move the satellite to the specified area." If the user clicks the "Reconnect" control, the electronic device can try to establish a connection with the Tiantong satellite again.

[0242] In some embodiments, if a connection with the Tiantong satellite is not successfully established before the countdown ends, a connection timeout prompt box may be displayed. The content of the connection timeout prompt box may include "This card may not have activated the Tiantong satellite service yet, please contact the relevant operator and try again after activation."

[0243] In the satellite connection status interface 10 shown in (c) of FIG6e , a prompt message indicating that the electronic device has successfully connected to the Tiantong satellite, the strength of the satellite signal, and a rendering of the connection between the earth pattern 101 and the satellite pattern 103 are displayed. The prompt message indicating that the device has successfully connected to the Tiantong satellite may include "Successfully connected to the satellite. The current signal is good. Please maintain your hand-held posture." The strength of the satellite signal may be displayed as the number of signal bars. The rendering of the connection between the earth pattern 101 and the satellite pattern 103 may include an animated effect of the satellite pattern 103 extending the signal waveform toward the direction of the earth pattern 101, or an animated effect of the earth pattern 101 extending the signal waveform toward the direction of the satellite pattern 103.

[0244] The satellite connection status interface 10 shown in (c) of FIG. 6e can also be collapsed by sliding down. As shown in (a) of FIG. 6f , the satellite connection status interface 10 is displayed in the form of a banner window 11 after being collapsed.

[0245] In some embodiments, when the satellite signal is strong (e.g., a satellite signal strength of 2 bars or more), the sector-shaped area 102 may be displayed in color 1, and when the satellite signal is weak (e.g., a satellite signal strength of less than 2 bars), the sector-shaped area 102 may be displayed in color 2, so that the user can intuitively determine the current satellite signal strength. For example, color 1 may be green and color 2 may be blue.

[0246] The "Satellite Network" app interface in Figure 6f (a) also displays a "Satellite Phone" icon and a "Satellite SMS" icon. Clicking the "Satellite Phone" icon takes you to the satellite phone dialing interface. Clicking the "Satellite SMS" icon, as shown in Figure 6f (b), takes you to the satellite SMS editing interface. The "Satellite Phone" icon has a satellite icon added to the original (i.e., without satellite communication enabled) "Phone" icon, while the "Satellite SMS" icon has a satellite icon added to the original "SMS" icon.

[0247] The "Satellite Network" app interface in (a) of Figure 6f also displays a "Disconnect" control. By clicking on it, the user can proactively disconnect from the Tiantong satellite. If the user clicks on the "Disconnect" control, a prompt box may pop up to confirm the disconnection. The prompt box may include a disconnection prompt message, a "Cancel" option, and an "OK" option. The disconnection prompt message may read "Are you sure you want to exit Tiantong satellite communication?" If the user clicks on the "OK" option again, the electronic device will disconnect from the Tiantong satellite.

[0248] In FIG6f (b), to facilitate user dialing, the satellite connection status interface 10 is displayed by default in the form of a banner window 11. In the dialing area of ​​the keypad shown in FIG6f (b), the dial icon has a satellite icon added to the original dial icon to remind the user that the call is a satellite call.

[0249] The banner window 11 shown in FIG6f(b) can also be expanded. For example, the banner window 11 can be double-clicked or swiped down to expand the satellite connection status interface 10. FIG6f(c) shows the banner window 11 shown in FIG6f(b) when expanded.

[0250] The user can also return to the desktop by swiping up (e.g., swiping up from the bottom of the screen), which displays the interface shown in Figure 6f (d). For example, if the electronic device is currently displaying the interface content shown in Figure 6f (a), (b), or (c), the user can return to the desktop by swiping up, and the electronic device will display the interface shown in Figure 6f (d).

[0251] In (d) of FIG6f , the phone icon displayed on the desktop is a “satellite phone” icon, the SMS icon is a “satellite SMS” icon, and a banner window 11 is displayed on the desktop (the banner window 11 is used to display the satellite connection status).

[0252] The following is a detailed schematic diagram of the operation flow of establishing a connection between an electronic device and a satellite with reference to Figures 7a-7d.

[0253] The activation interface shown in (a) of FIG. 7 a is the same as the activation interface shown in (b) of FIG. 6 b , and will not be described in detail here.

[0254] After the user clicks the "Enable" control, if the accuracy of the magnetic field sensor of the electronic device does not meet the preset requirements, calibration will be triggered, and the satellite connection status interface 10 shown in (b) of Figure 7a will be displayed for accuracy calibration. If the accuracy of the magnetic field sensor of the electronic device meets the preset requirements, calibration will not be triggered, and the satellite connection status interface 10 shown in (c) of Figure 7a will be displayed.

[0255] The satellite connection status interface 10 shown in FIG7a(b) includes calibration prompts and a calibration animation. The calibration animation can be a ball that rotates at the edge of a circle as the user tilts the electronic device. The calibration prompt can include "Accuracy calibration, please tilt the device to the maximum extent to complete the calibration circle." The user can calibrate the magnetic field sensor according to the calibration prompt. After the magnetic field sensor calibration is completed, the satellite connection status interface 10 shown in FIG7a(c) can be displayed.

[0256] The satellite connection status interface 10 shown in (c) of FIG. 7 a is the same as the satellite connection status interface 10 shown in (a) of FIG. 6 d , and will not be described again herein.

[0257] If the electronic device fails to search for a satellite, the content displayed on the satellite connection status interface 10 changes from the interface shown in FIG. 7a(c) to the interface shown in FIG. 7a(d). The satellite connection status interface 10 shown in FIG. 7a(d) is the same as the satellite connection status interface 10 shown in FIG. 6d(b), and is not further described here.

[0258] If the electronic device successfully searches for a satellite, the content displayed on the satellite connection status interface 10 changes from the interface shown in (c) of Figure 7a to the interface shown in (a) of Figure 7b. The satellite connection status interface 10 shown in (a) of Figure 7b may include alignment prompts, an alignment animation, and the current longitude, latitude, and altitude of the electronic device. The alignment prompt may include "Turn the phone right to align with the satellite to move the satellite to the fan-shaped area 102." The alignment animation may include an animation ae1 of turning the phone right and an animation of aligning the satellite pattern 103 with the earth pattern 101. In the animation of aligning the satellite pattern 103 with the earth pattern 101, the satellite pattern 103 may rotate around the earth pattern 101 as the user rotates the phone. For example, as the user rotates the phone right, the satellite pattern 103 rotates clockwise along the circle shown in (a) of Figure 7b. When the satellite pattern 103 moves to the fan-shaped area 102 shown in (a) of Figure 7b, satellite azimuth alignment is complete. The satellite connection status interface 10 shown in FIG7b(a) can be collapsed and displayed in the form of a banner window 11. For example, the satellite connection status interface 10 can be collapsed in response to a user's swipe down operation, and the display effect of the satellite connection status interface 10 after collapse is shown in FIG7b(b).

[0259] During the process of satellite azimuth alignment, as the satellite pattern 103 moves to the fan-shaped area 102 shown in (a) in Figure 7b, the earth pattern 101 may not be completely exposed, indicating that the satellite pitch angle or third dimension angle (left and right tilt angle) needs to be aligned, that is, the content displayed on the satellite connection status interface 10 changes from the interface shown in (a) in Figure 7b to the interface shown in (c) in Figure 7b, or the interface shown in (a) in Figure 7c.

[0260] The satellite connection status interface 10 shown in (c) of Figure 7b may include alignment prompt information, an alignment animation, and the current longitude, latitude, and altitude of the electronic device. The alignment prompt information may include "Tilt your phone upward to align with the satellite until the globe 101 is fully exposed." The alignment animation may include an animation ae2 of the phone being held upward and an animation of the globe 101 being exposed or hidden. As the phone is tilted upward, the globe 101 may be exposed from the bottom and gradually expand until it is fully exposed (the globe 101 fills the center circle C1), indicating that the phone is aligned with the Tiantong satellite in elevation. The content displayed in the satellite connection status interface 10 may change from the interface shown in (c) of Figure 7b to the interface shown in (b) of Figure 7c. The animation of the globe 101 being exposed or hidden allows the user to intuitively determine whether the phone is aligned with the Tiantong satellite in elevation, saving time in alignment and enhancing the user's satellite alignment experience. The satellite connection status interface 10 shown in (c) of Figure 7b can be folded up and displayed in the form of a banner window 11. For example, the satellite connection status interface 10 can be folded in response to the user's sliding operation. The display effect of the satellite connection status interface 10 after being folded is shown in (d) in Figure 7b. The banner window 11 can also display alignment prompt information, alignment animation, and the current longitude, latitude and altitude of the electronic device.

[0261] The satellite connection status interface 10 shown in (a) of Figure 7c may include alignment prompts, an alignment animation, and the current longitude, latitude, and altitude of the electronic device. The alignment prompt may include "Tilt your phone right to align with the satellite until the globe 101 is fully exposed." The alignment animation may include an animation ae3 of the phone tilting right and an animation of the globe 101 revealing to the right or hiding to the left. As the phone tilts right, the globe 101 may reveal itself from the left side to the right, gradually expanding until it is fully exposed (the globe 101 fills the center circle C1), indicating that the phone is aligned with the Tiantong satellite in the third dimension. The content displayed in the satellite connection status interface 10 may change from the interface shown in (a) of Figure 7c to the interface shown in (b) of Figure 7c. The animation of the globe 101 revealing to the right or hiding to the left allows the user to intuitively determine whether the phone is aligned with the Tiantong satellite in the third dimension, saving time in third-dimension alignment and enhancing the user's alignment experience. The satellite connection status interface 10 shown in (a) of Figure 7c can also be folded and displayed as a banner window 11.

[0262] After completing the alignment of the satellite azimuth angle, if the pitch angle and the third dimension angle between the electronic device and the Tiantong satellite meet the preset requirements (for example, the earth pattern 101 is completely exposed in the center circle C1), it indicates that there is no need to align the satellite pitch angle and the third dimension angle, and the content displayed on the satellite connection status interface 10 can be changed from the interface shown in (a) in Figure 7b to the interface shown in (b) in Figure 7c. The satellite connection status interface 10 shown in (b) in Figure 7c can be folded and displayed in the form of a banner window 11. For example, the satellite connection status interface 10 can be folded in response to the user's sliding operation, and the display effect of the satellite connection status interface 10 after folding is shown in (c) of Figure 7c.

[0263] The satellite connection status interface 10 shown in (b) of FIG. 7 c is the same as the satellite connection status interface 10 shown in (a) of FIG. 6 e , and will not be described again herein.

[0264] After the interface shown in (b) of Figure 7c is displayed, before the countdown ends, if a connection is successfully established with the Tiantong satellite, the content displayed on the satellite connection status interface 10 is as shown in (d) of Figure 7c. The satellite connection status interface 10 shown in (d) of Figure 7c is the same as the satellite connection status interface 10 shown in (c) of Figure 6e, and will not be repeated here. Before the countdown ends, if a connection is not successfully established with the Tiantong satellite, the content displayed on the satellite connection status interface 10 is as shown in (a) of Figure 7d. The satellite connection status interface 10 shown in (a) of Figure 7d is the same as the satellite connection status interface 10 shown in (d) of Figure 6e, and will not be repeated here.

[0265] After the interface shown in FIG7c(d) is displayed, if the position and / or attitude of the electronic device changes, which may result in a poor satellite signal and require realignment with the satellite, the content displayed on the satellite connection status interface 10 may change from the interface shown in FIG7c(d) to the interface shown in FIG7d(b) to prompt the user to realign with the satellite. The interface shown in FIG7d(b) may include a realignment prompt, an alignment animation, and the current longitude, latitude, and altitude of the electronic device. The realignment prompt may include "Device position has shifted. Please align with the satellite. The satellite signal is poor. Please move the phone right." After satellite alignment is completed, the content displayed on the satellite connection status interface 10 may change from the interface shown in FIG7d(b) to the interface shown in FIG7c(d). Alternatively, after completing the satellite object, if the pitch angle is misaligned, the content displayed on the satellite connection status interface 10 may change from the interface shown in FIG7d(b) to the interface shown in FIG7b(c). Alternatively, if the third dimension angle is misaligned, the content displayed on the satellite connection status interface 10 may change from the interface shown in FIG7d(b) to the interface shown in FIG7c(a).

[0266] After the interface shown in (d) of Figure 7c is displayed for a preset duration, the satellite connection status interface 10 can be automatically retracted and displayed in the form of a banner window 11, or the satellite connection status interface 10 can be retracted in response to a user's swipe down operation and displayed in the form of a banner window 11. The display effect of the satellite connection status interface 10 after retracting is shown in (c) of Figure 7d. The preset duration can be set according to actual needs and is not limited in this embodiment of the present application. For example, the preset duration is 3 seconds. The interface shown in (c) of Figure 7d is the same as the interface shown in (a) of Figure 6f and will not be repeated here.

[0267] After the electronic device successfully establishes a connection with the Tiantong satellite, the user can make satellite calls and send satellite text messages.

[0268] 8a and 8b , a schematic diagram of the operation flow of making a satellite call will be described in detail, and a schematic diagram of the operation flow of sending a satellite text message will be described in detail in conjunction with FIG. 8c and 8d .

[0269] As shown in (a) of FIG8a , to facilitate user dialing, when the satellite phone dialing interface is displayed, the satellite connection status interface 10 is displayed by default in the form of a banner window 11. The banner window 11 can move in response to a long press operation performed by the user on the banner window 11. The default display position of the banner window 11 can be the upper area of ​​the satellite phone dialing interface.

[0270] In some embodiments, in order to reduce the visual occlusion effect of the banner window 11 on the underlying interface, the banner window 11 may also be designed to have a semi-transparent display effect.

[0271] As shown in (b) of FIG. 8a , when a user dials a number in the keyboard dialing area, the number display area of ​​the satellite phone dialing interface can display the user's dialed digits, and the banner window 11 can automatically avoid the keyboard dialing area and the number display area to avoid blocking the keyboard dialing area and the number display area and affecting the user's dialing experience.

[0272] For example, if it is detected that the currently displayed interface is a satellite phone dialing interface, and the numbers (0 to 9) or "*" or "#" in the keyboard dialing area receive a user click operation, the banner window 11 is configured to be displayed in the designated area, and the designated area may refer to the area between the keyboard dialing area and the number display area.

[0273] In some embodiments, for other interfaces displayed on the electronic device, rules for active avoidance of the banner window 11 can also be configured. The avoidance rules can be set based on not affecting the user's operations on the currently displayed interface, so as to reduce the visual or operational impact on the user caused by the banner window 11 blocking the content of the lower interface.

[0274] When the user completes inputting the phone number and the call is connected, the interface display content is as shown in (c) of FIG8a.

[0275] In some embodiments, satellite phones generally do not support functions such as video calls and multi-person calls. The call interface shown in (c) of Figure 8a can also remove the options of "waiting", "add call" and "video call".

[0276] In some embodiments, after a user completes a satellite call, the interface displays the content shown in FIG8a(d). In the call log interface shown in FIG8a(d), satellite phone call records have a satellite icon added to them, compared to call records for calls made over a mobile communication network, to indicate that the call was made via a satellite call. For example, in the call log interface shown in FIG8a(d), the call record for contact "Chu Chu" has a satellite icon 16 added to it, indicating that the call with "Chu Chu" was a satellite call. The call record for contact "Xiao Ge" does not have a satellite icon, indicating that the call with "Xiao Ge" was made over a mobile communication network.

[0277] In some embodiments, a satellite badge may also be added to the call record in the call details to indicate that the call was made by a satellite call.

[0278] As shown in (a) and (b) in FIG8b , it illustrates the interface diagram of receiving a satellite call after the electronic device successfully establishes a connection with the Tiantong satellite.

[0279] As shown in (a) in Figure 8b, it is assumed that before receiving a satellite call, the displayed interface is a text message interface. When receiving a satellite call, it changes to the incoming call interface shown in (b) in Figure 8b. The user can click the answer icon in the incoming call interface shown in (b) in Figure 8b to answer the satellite call, or click the hang up icon to hang up the satellite call.

[0280] As shown in (a) of Figure 8c, this is the satellite SMS homepage, which is basically the same as the original SMS homepage (i.e., the satellite communication function is not enabled), except that the satellite connection status interface 10 is displayed above the satellite SMS homepage in the form of a banner window 11.

[0281] As shown in (b) of FIG8c , this is an interface for conducting a text message conversation with a contact. This interface can display previous text message records (satellite text messages and regular text messages) with the contact. When the user does not enter any content in the text message input field, the send button 17 can default to gray. When the user enters content in the text message input field, the send button 17 can change from gray to a specified color (for example, from gray to green).

[0282] Compared with the conventional SMS conversation interface, the interface shown in (b) of Figure 8c adds a "Carry location and altitude" option and a location-altitude display area between this option and the SMS input field. The location-altitude display area can display the longitude, latitude and altitude obtained by the electronic device. For example, "40°10'41 North Latitude, 116°10'44 East Longitude", Altitude 8848 meters" is shown in (b) of Figure 8c. The "Carry location and altitude" option can be set to be unchecked by default. If the user checks this option, the satellite SMS to be sent will execute this policy (carrying location and altitude information) by default, and other SMS will still be unchecked by default. That is, each time the "Carry location and altitude" option is checked, it will only take effect on the current satellite SMS to be sent.

[0283] In some embodiments, the location and altitude information may be obtained when connected to the Tiantong satellite. To update the location and altitude information, the user may exit the Tiantong satellite connection and then reconnect.

[0284] In some embodiments, if the Tiantong satellite fails to obtain the current location and altitude of the electronic device, the location-altitude display area may display "No positioning information obtained".

[0285] In some embodiments, if the user selects the "Carry location and altitude" option, a prompt box (c) in FIG. 8c may also be displayed when the user clicks the send button 17. The prompt box may include the message "Location information will take up the SMS word count," and options such as "Cancel" and "Confirm Send." If the user clicks "Cancel," the satellite message will not be sent. If the user clicks "Confirm Send," the satellite message will be sent. The interface for sending a satellite message is shown in FIG. 8d (a).

[0286] In the interface shown in (a) of Figure 8d, the progress bar for sending a satellite SMS is basically the same as the progress bar for sending a regular SMS, except that a satellite badge is added. The satellite badge can be displayed to the left of "Sending" to indicate that the SMS being sent is a satellite SMS.

[0287] If the user enters "I have safely reached the top of the mountain." in the regular text message input field, the text displayed on the text message conversation interface after sending will also be "I have safely reached the top of the mountain." As shown in Figure 8d (a), if the user sends a satellite text message with the text "I have safely reached the top of the mountain." and checks the "Carry location and altitude" option, the text displayed on the text message conversation interface after sending will be "[Tiantong Satellite Message] I have safely reached the top of the mountain. Latitude 40°10'41", longitude 116°10'44", altitude 8848 meters."

[0288] When the satellite SMS is successfully sent, the interface display content may change from the interface shown in (a) of Figure 8d to the interface shown in (b) of Figure 8d. The satellite SMS sending time is increased by a satellite subscript compared to the regular SMS sending time to indicate that the successfully sent SMS is a satellite SMS.

[0289] When the satellite signal deteriorates, satellite text messages may fail to be sent. As shown in Figure 8d (c), banner window 11 indicates a poor satellite signal and the text message conversation interface displays a satellite text message failure. Compared to regular text message failure times, the satellite text message failure timer has a satellite subscript added to indicate that the failed text message is a satellite text message.

[0290] In some embodiments, when the satellite signal deteriorates (e.g., less than 2 bars) or the connection to the satellite is lost, the banner window 11 can automatically expand to the satellite connection status interface 10, allowing the user to adjust the phone's posture according to the prompt information in the satellite connection status interface 10. After the satellite signal recovers to a good level (e.g., 2 bars or more), the satellite connection status interface 10 can automatically collapse to the banner window 11.

[0291] After a satellite SMS fails to send, the user can click or long-press the failed SMS to resend it. As shown in (d) of Figure 8d, if the user clicks or long-presses a previously failed SMS, a resend prompt box will pop up. The resend prompt box includes a resend prompt, a "Cancel" option, and a "Resend" option. The resend prompt includes the message "Resend? We recommend sending in an open, unobstructed area to increase the success rate." If the user clicks "Cancel," the SMS will not be resent. If the user clicks "Resend," the SMS will be resent.

[0292] In some embodiments, if the user clicks the "Resend" option and the electronic device is currently connected to a satellite, the failed satellite text message can be directly resent. If the user clicks the "Resend" option and the electronic device is currently disconnected from the satellite, it is necessary to re-point the satellite and reconnect to the satellite before resending the failed satellite text message.

[0293] In some embodiments, after the satellite connection status interface 10 is folded, it can be displayed in the form of a banner window 11, a floating window, a smart capsule, etc.

[0294] In some embodiments, the banner window 11 can also support user control to collapse / automatically collapse into a floating window or smart capsule to minimize the impact of blocking the underlying interface. For example, after entering the call interface for 5 seconds, the banner window 11 automatically collapses into a floating window or smart capsule (Honor's smart capsule display solution is shown in Figure 8f (a)).

[0295] As shown in (a) of Figure 8e, a display effect diagram of the floating window 18 is shown. As shown in (b) of Figure 8e, the floating window 18 can be moved to any position of the current interface according to the user's operation (for example, a long press operation).

[0296] As shown in (a) of Figure 8f, the display effect diagram of the smart capsule 19 is illustrated. The content displayed by the smart capsule 19 can include satellite badges and prompt information (for example, the prompt information can include the status of the satellite signal and whether the satellite is successfully connected). Due to the small display area of ​​the smart capsule 19, the smart capsule 19 can display the prompt information in a scrolling manner. As shown in (b) of Figure 8f, taking the banner window 11 that supports folding into the smart capsule 19 as an example, when the user clicks anywhere on the smart capsule 19, the smart capsule 19 can be expanded into the form of a banner window 11.

[0297] In some embodiments, for example, an electronic device supporting dual SIM dual standby (or, as communication technology advances, supporting more SIM cards) may be used. If the electronic device is in an area without a carrier's mobile communication network and is not connected to a satellite, the dialing interface is shown in (a) of FIG9a . The keypad dialing area includes two dial icons 20, one corresponding to each SIM card. When a user makes a call, the call interface is shown in (b) of FIG9a . The status bar displays "No Service," and a prompt box may pop up stating "Unable to Access Mobile Network," preventing the user from making a successful call. When a user sends a text message, the text message conversation interface is shown in (c) of FIG9a . The status bar displays "No Service," preventing the user from successfully sending the text message.

[0298] If the electronic device is in an area without an operator's mobile communication network and is connected to a satellite, the dialing interface may be as shown in (a) of FIG9b , where the status bar displays a satellite badge, and the keyboard dialing area only displays dialing icons corresponding to SIM cards that can make satellite calls. This facilitates users in initiating satellite calls and avoids using a SIM card that cannot make satellite calls to make satellite calls on the dialing interface, thereby improving the efficiency of satellite call making.

[0299] For example, an electronic device is installed with a first SIM card and a second SIM card. The first SIM card supports the Tiantong satellite communication function, while the second SIM card does not support the Tiantong satellite communication function. The dialing interface defaults to using the first SIM card for dialing, and the dialing area of ​​the keyboard only displays the dial icon corresponding to the first SIM card. Compared with the solution of displaying two dial icons, this can prevent the user from clicking another dial icon and failing to initiate a satellite phone call.

[0300] If the electronic device is in an area without an operator's mobile communication network and is connected to a satellite, the SMS conversation interface may be as shown in (b) of FIG9b , with a satellite badge displayed in the status bar. The user may send satellite SMS messages through the SMS conversation interface shown in (b) of FIG9b .

[0301] In some embodiments, the SMS conversation interface shown in (b) of FIG. 9b may also display the option of “carrying location and altitude” like the interface shown in (b) of FIG. 8c .

[0302] In some embodiments, when a user is in an area without an operator's mobile communication network, the user may not or may forget to turn on the satellite communication function before making a call / sending a text message. The user can be guided to turn on the satellite communication function during the process of making a call / sending a text message, so that the user can smoothly make a satellite call / send a satellite text message without having to turn on the satellite communication function in the operation method shown in (a), (b), and (c) of Figure 6a, thereby reducing the operational complexity of making a satellite call / sending a satellite text message and improving the user experience.

[0303] 10a to 10d , a flowchart of actively guiding a user to activate the satellite communication function during the process of the user making a call or sending a text message will be described in detail.

[0304] As shown in FIG10a(a), assuming a user is currently in an area without a mobile communication network, and only one SIM card is installed in the electronic device, the user operates the electronic device to make a call. The electronic device displays the dialing interface shown in FIG10a(a), with "No Service" displayed in the status bar. When the user enters a phone number in the dialing area of ​​the keypad, the electronic device displays the dialing interface shown in FIG10a(b), with "No Service" displayed in the status bar. When the user completes entering the phone number and clicks the dial icon, the electronic device displays the call interface shown in FIG10b(a), with "No Service" displayed in the status bar. A satellite connection guidance prompt box b1 is displayed above the call interface. The satellite connection guidance prompt box b1 may include satellite connection guidance information, a "Cancel" option, and a "Connect to Satellite" option. The satellite connection guidance prompt information may include "Unable to access the mobile network, try to call a satellite." If the user clicks the "Cancel" option, the attempt to call the satellite is abandoned. If the user clicks the "Connect to Satellite" option, the electronic device, after successfully connecting to the satellite, displays the satellite connection status interface 10 shown in FIG10b(b), with a satellite badge displayed in the status bar. The satellite connection status interface 10 may be automatically folded into a banner window 11 after a preset time (eg, 3 seconds) after successfully connecting to the satellite, as shown in (c) of FIG. 10 b .

[0305] In some embodiments, if the user clicks the "Connect Satellite" option, the satellite connection status interface 10 can be opened on the call interface shown in (a) in Figure 10b. After searching for satellites, pointing to satellites, and connecting (refer to Figures 7a-7d), the satellite connection status interface 10 is shown in (b) in Figure 10b.

[0306] As shown in (c) of FIG. 10 b , after being connected to the satellite, the electronic device can successfully make a call through the satellite communication function.

[0307] In some embodiments, the call interface shown in FIG10b(c) may also display a prompt 201 indicating the satellite call time that can be supported by the current battery level, thereby facilitating the user to plan their call time appropriately and increase the likelihood of a successful rescue. For example, the prompt may read "The current battery level is expected to support x minutes of satellite call time."

[0308] In some embodiments, the estimated satellite call duration supported by the current remaining power of the electronic device can be calculated based on the remaining power of the electronic device (e.g., the remaining percentage) and the satellite call duration corresponding to a unit of power (1% power). For example, a 3-minute satellite call is estimated to consume 1% of the power, and a full charge is expected to provide 300 minutes of talk time.

[0309] In some embodiments, the call interface can also display a prompt 201 indicating the estimated satellite call time in different ways depending on the remaining battery level. For example, if the remaining battery level of the electronic device is greater than 20%, the following display method may be used: upon entering the call interface for more than a1 seconds, a prompt 201 indicating the estimated satellite call time with the current battery level will appear. This prompt will remain displayed for a2 seconds before disappearing. The values ​​of a1 and a2 can be set based on actual needs and are not limited in this embodiment. For example, a1 can be 30 and a2 can be 20. For example, if the remaining battery level of the electronic device is 80% and the user makes a satellite call and enters the call interface for more than 30 seconds, a prompt message may be displayed at the bottom of the call interface at the 30th second of entering the call interface, stating "The current battery level is estimated to support 240 minutes of satellite call time." This prompt message will remain displayed for 20 seconds before disappearing. It is understood that if the remaining battery level of the electronic device changes from 80% to 79% during the 20-second display, the prompt message may be changed to "The current battery level is estimated to support 237 minutes of satellite call time."

[0310] If the remaining battery level of the electronic device is less than or equal to 20%, the display method used is as follows: upon entering the call interface, a flashing prompt 201 indicating the estimated satellite call time that can be supported by the current battery level is displayed. For example, if the remaining battery level of the electronic device is 15%, and the user makes a satellite call and enters the call interface, a prompt message may be displayed at the bottom of the call interface, continuously flashing, stating "The current battery level is estimated to support 45 minutes of satellite call time." This prompt message will continue to flash until the user exits the call interface. It will be appreciated that if the remaining battery level of the electronic device changes from 15% to 14% during the flashing display of the prompt message, the prompt message may be changed to "The current battery level is estimated to support 42 minutes of satellite call time."

[0311] As shown in FIG10c(a), assuming a user is currently in an area without a mobile communication network, the user operates an electronic device to send a text message. The electronic device displays the text message homepage shown in FIG10c(a), with "No Service" displayed in the status bar. When the user selects a recipient for the text message, the electronic device displays the text message conversation interface shown in FIG10c(b), with "No Service" displayed in the status bar. When the user completes entering the text message content and clicks the send button 17, the electronic device displays the text message conversation interface shown in FIG10d(a), with "No Service" displayed in the status bar. A satellite connection guidance prompt box b1 is displayed above the text message conversation interface. The satellite connection guidance prompt box b1 may include satellite connection guidance information, a "Cancel" option, and a "Connect to Satellite" option. The satellite connection guidance prompt information may include "Unable to access the mobile network, you can try to send a satellite text message." If the user clicks the "Cancel" option, it indicates that the attempt to send the satellite text message has been abandoned. If the user clicks the "Connect to Satellite" option, the electronic device, after successfully connecting to the satellite, displays the satellite connection status interface 10 shown in FIG10d(b), with a satellite badge displayed in the status bar. The satellite connection status interface 10 may be automatically folded into a banner window 11 after a preset time (eg, 3 seconds) after successfully connecting to the satellite, as shown in (c) of FIG. 10 d .

[0312] In some embodiments, if the user clicks the "Connect Satellite" option, the satellite connection status interface 10 can be opened on the SMS conversation interface shown in (a) of Figure 10d. After searching for satellites, pointing to satellites, and connecting (refer to Figures 7a-7d), the satellite connection status interface 10 is shown in (b) of Figure 10d.

[0313] As shown in (c) of FIG10 d , after being connected to the satellite, the electronic device can successfully send text messages via the satellite communication function.

[0314] In some embodiments, there may be a situation where there is no operator's mobile communication network in indoor environments (for example, low parking lots, basements, etc.). In this case, due to the obstruction of buildings, electronic devices are generally unable to establish a connection with the Tiantong satellite, and this situation generally does not belong to a scenario requiring rescue. The premise for actively guiding users to turn on the satellite communication function during the process of making a call or sending a text message can also include detecting that the electronic device is currently outdoors rather than indoors.

[0315] For example, the electronic device may be enabled to actively measure a global positioning system (GPS) signal, and determine whether the current location of the electronic device is indoors or outdoors based on information of a plurality of measured GPS signals.

[0316] For example, the electronic device can also obtain wireless network signal information, determine the wireless network signal information group to which the electronic device belongs based on the wireless network signal information, and then determine the position corresponding to the wireless network signal information group based on the mapping relationship between the wireless network signal information group and the identification model, thereby obtaining the current position of the electronic device. The wireless network signal information may include one or any combination of the following: timing advance (TA), direction of arrival (DoA), and reference signal receiving power (RSRP) of the serving cell. The identification model records the positions (indoors or outdoors) of electronic devices corresponding to different wireless network signal information groups, wherein the positions of each electronic device corresponding to the same wireless network signal information group are the same.

[0317] In some embodiments, since satellite phone calls or satellite text messages are generally used when users are in extreme environments to contact the outside world, the power of electronic devices is relatively precious. To increase the possibility of successful rescue of users, the electronic device may prompt the user to enable power saving mode in a pop-up window or automatically enable power saving mode when it detects that the user has made a satellite connection (satellite search, star alignment), sent a satellite text message, or made a satellite phone call, and there is currently no mobile communication network.

[0318] As shown in Figure 11, when an electronic device detects that a user has made a satellite call and there is currently no mobile communication network, it prompts the user in the form of a pop-up window to ask whether to enable super power saving mode. This pop-up window 21 may include a prompt message prompting the user to enable super power saving mode and an option to "Enable super power saving mode." The prompt message may include "Using super power saving mode can significantly save power. It has been detected that you have just made a satellite call." If the user clicks the option to "Enable super power saving mode," the electronic device will enable super power saving mode.

[0319] In some embodiments, the electronic device can disable a previously activated satellite communication function in a variety of ways. For example, after the user is rescued, or the user is in an area with a mobile communication network, the user no longer needs to use the satellite communication function.

[0320] As shown in Figure 12, it is illustrated that an electronic device can exit the satellite communication function in four ways. As shown in (a) in Figure 12, if the electronic device has been disconnected from the satellite for a3 seconds, a prompt box 22 can pop up to prompt that Tiantong satellite communication is about to be exited. The value of a3 can be set according to actual needs. The embodiment of the present application is not limited to this. For example, the value of a3 is 60s. The prompt box 22 may include a prompt message for prompting the user that the electronic device is about to turn off the satellite communication function, and the options of "Continue to use" and "Exit (x seconds)". The prompt message may include "Not connected to the satellite for 60 seconds, Tiantong satellite communication is about to be exited". If the user does not click the "Continue to use" option before the exit countdown of x seconds (for example, 10 seconds), the electronic device will automatically turn off the satellite communication function. If the user clicks the "Continue to use" option before the exit countdown of x seconds, the electronic device can try to establish a connection with the Tiantong satellite again.

[0321] As shown in (b) in Figure 12, users can also click the "Disconnect" control displayed on the "Satellite Network" APP interface to actively disconnect the connection between the electronic device and the Tiantong satellite and exit Tiantong satellite communication.

[0322] As shown in (c) of FIG. 12 , the user can also click the “×” option in the upper right corner of the satellite connection status interface 10 to actively disconnect the electronic device from the Tiantong satellite and exit the Tiantong satellite communication.

[0323] As shown in (d) in Figure 12, the user can also click the "Disconnect" control in the notification bar to actively disconnect the connection between the electronic device and the Tiantong satellite and exit the Tiantong satellite communication.

[0324] In some embodiments, after an electronic device establishes a connection with a Tiantong satellite, a persistent notification may be added to the notification bar on the lock screen. This notification may be displayed as shown in (d) in Figure 12 , allowing the user to quickly make satellite calls, send satellite text messages, and proactively disconnect the electronic device from the Tiantong satellite. The status bar on the lock screen may display a satellite badge and the words "Tiantong Satellite" to notify the user that the electronic device is currently connected to a Tiantong satellite.

[0325] 13 , an embodiment of the present application provides an interface display method, which is applied to an electronic device. The interface display method may include:

[0326] S131, when the electronic device cannot access a mobile communication network, in response to a user clicking a first icon on a first page displayed by the electronic device, opening a first window including a first option for connecting to a satellite.

[0327] S132 , in response to the user clicking the first option, establishing a communication connection with the satellite and executing a service corresponding to the first icon.

[0328] In some embodiments, the electronic device can successfully execute the service corresponding to the first icon only when it can access a mobile communication network or establish a connection with a satellite. For example, the service corresponding to the first icon is making a call or sending a text message. The first icon can be a dial icon on a dialing interface or a send button on a text message conversation interface. When the electronic device can access a mobile communication network, the service corresponding to the first icon is making a call or sending a text message based on the mobile communication network. When the electronic device cannot access a mobile communication network and establishes a communication connection with a satellite, the service corresponding to the first icon is making a satellite call or sending a satellite text message based on the satellite.

[0329] If the electronic device cannot access a mobile communication network, the user clicks the first icon on the first page, and the electronic device may open a first window to guide the user in connecting the electronic device to a satellite (e.g., a Tiantong satellite). After the user clicks the first option, the electronic device may attempt to establish a communication connection with the satellite. If the electronic device successfully establishes a communication connection with the satellite, the electronic device may successfully perform the service corresponding to the first icon. As shown in (a) of Figure 10b, the first option may be a "Connect to Satellite" option.

[0330] In some embodiments, taking the dialing interface as an example, in response to a user clicking a first icon (a dial icon) in the dialing interface displayed on the electronic device, a call interface is displayed and a first window is opened, the first window covering a portion of the call interface. As shown in (a) of FIG10b , the first window may be a satellite connection guidance prompt box displayed above the call interface.

[0331] In some embodiments, as shown in (c) of FIG. 10 b , the call interface may further display a prompt message indicating the estimated call time that the remaining power of the electronic device can support.

[0332] In some embodiments, when the remaining battery power of an electronic device is greater than a preset power level, a first display mode is used on the call interface to display a prompt indicating the estimated call time that the remaining battery power of the electronic device can support. When the remaining battery power of the electronic device is less than or equal to the preset power level, a second display mode, different from the first display mode, is used on the call interface to display a prompt indicating the estimated call time that the remaining battery power of the electronic device can support. The preset power level can be set according to actual needs and is not limited in the embodiments of the present application. For example, if the preset power level is 20%, the first display mode is: when the call interface is entered and the remaining power level is maintained for more than a1 seconds, a prompt indicating the estimated call time that the current remaining power level can support appears once. This prompt information is displayed for a2 seconds and then disappears. The second display mode is: when the call interface is entered, a prompt indicating the estimated call time that the current remaining power level can support is displayed in a flashing manner. These different power level prompts provide a warning to the user, reminding the user to conserve power and avoid excessive power consumption. a1 and a2 are preset values ​​that can be set or modified according to actual application.

[0333] In some embodiments, the electronic device may be installed with a first SIM card and a second SIM card. As shown in (a) of FIG9a , when the electronic device is not connected to a satellite or when no SIM card is set to be used for satellite connection, the dialing interface includes a first dialing icon corresponding to the first SIM card and a second dialing icon corresponding to the second SIM card. As shown in (a) of FIG9b , when the electronic device establishes a communication connection with the satellite based on the first SIM card, the dialing interface may only display the first dialing icon corresponding to the first SIM card. Alternatively, when the electronic device establishes a communication connection with the satellite based on the second SIM card, the dialing interface may only display the second dialing icon corresponding to the second SIM card.

[0334] In some embodiments, taking the first page as an SMS conversation interface as an example, in response to a user clicking a first icon (a send button in the SMS conversation interface) in the SMS conversation interface displayed on the electronic device, a first window is opened, and the first window covers a portion of the content of the SMS conversation interface. As shown in (a) of Figure 10d, the first window is a satellite connection guidance prompt box displayed above the SMS conversation interface.

[0335] In some embodiments, since there may be no operator mobile communication network in indoor environments (for example, underground parking lots, basements, etc.), in this case, due to the obstruction of buildings, electronic devices are generally unable to establish a connection with the Tiantong satellite, and this situation generally does not belong to a scenario requiring rescue. When the electronic device detects that it is in an outdoor location and cannot access the mobile communication network, it can open the first window in response to the user clicking the first icon in the first page.

[0336] In some embodiments, after executing the service corresponding to the first icon, for example, ending a satellite call or sending a satellite text message, the electronic device may open a second window. The second window includes a second option for enabling power saving mode. The electronic device may also enable power saving mode in response to a user clicking the second option. As shown in FIG11 , the second window may be a pop-up window prompting the user to enable super power saving mode, and the second option may be "Enable super power saving mode." The electronic device may also open the second window after executing the service corresponding to the first icon and if it detects that there is no mobile communication network, to remind the user whether to enable power saving mode to conserve power.

[0337] In some embodiments, establishing a communication connection with a satellite may include a process of searching for satellites, pointing to satellites, and connecting. The third window may refer to a satellite connection status interface. In response to a user clicking on the first option, establishing a communication connection with a satellite may include: in response to a user clicking on the first option, opening a third window, the third window including an alignment pattern and an alignment area for displaying the alignment pattern, as shown in (c) in FIG7b , the alignment pattern may be an earth pattern, and the alignment area may refer to a center circle; in response to a user adjusting the posture of the electronic device, moving the alignment pattern so that the alignment pattern is partially displayed in the alignment area, or is fully displayed in the alignment area; when the alignment pattern is fully displayed in the alignment area, establishing a communication connection with the satellite.

[0338] In some embodiments, the user's operation of adjusting the posture of the electronic device may include tilting the electronic device upward or downward to align the pitch angle with the satellite. The user's operation of adjusting the posture of the electronic device may also include tilting the electronic device right or left to align the third dimension angle with the satellite. In response to the user's operation of adjusting the posture of the electronic device, moving the alignment pattern so that the alignment pattern is partially displayed within the alignment area or fully displayed within the alignment area may include: in response to the user's operation of tilting the electronic device upward or downward, controlling the alignment pattern to move upward to be exposed within the alignment area, or controlling the alignment pattern to move downward to disappear from the alignment area. In response to the user's operation of adjusting the posture of the electronic device, moving the alignment pattern so that the alignment pattern is partially displayed within the alignment area or fully displayed within the alignment area may also include: in response to the user's operation of tilting the electronic device right or left, controlling the alignment pattern to move right to be exposed within the alignment area, or controlling the alignment pattern to move left to disappear from the alignment area.

[0339] In some embodiments, the third window can also be collapsed to a preset display form, which can be any one of a banner window, a floating window, and a dynamic capsule. For example, the electronic device can collapse the third window to the preset display form in response to a user sliding operation on the third window, or automatically collapse the third window to the preset display form after a preset duration (e.g., 5 seconds) of establishing a communication connection with the satellite. When the communication connection with the satellite is disconnected, the electronic device can automatically expand the third window from the preset display form to its original form (uncollapsed display state).

[0340] In some embodiments, if a third window in a preset display form is displayed on a second page, the electronic device may further, in response to a user click operation on the second page, move the third window in the preset display form from a first position to a second position different from the first position, thereby preventing the third window in the preset display form from obscuring the content of the second page and causing a visual or operational impact on the user. For example, the second page is a dialing interface. Before dialing, the dialing interface does not display a number display area. The third window in the preset display form is generally located in the upper half of the dialing interface (the first position). When the user dials in the keyboard dialing area, the dialing interface may display the number display area, which is also located in the upper half of the dialing interface. As a result, the third window in the preset display form obscures the number display area, preventing the user from clearly viewing the content of the number display area. The third window in the preset display form may be moved from the first position to the second position. The second position may be the area between the keyboard dialing area and the number display area, thereby preventing the third window in the preset display form from obscuring the keyboard dialing area and the number display area.

[0341] 14 , an embodiment of the present application provides an interface display method, which is applied to an electronic device. The interface display method may include:

[0342] S141 , in response to a satellite connection operation by a user, establishing a communication connection with a satellite.

[0343] For example, the satellite connection operation may include some of the operations shown in FIG. 6 a to FIG. 6 e , so that the electronic device establishes a communication connection with the satellite.

[0344] S142 : In response to a user clicking operation on a first page displayed on the electronic device, move the first window from a first position to a second position different from the first position.

[0345] The first window is used to display the connection status of the electronic device and the satellite. The first window covers part of the content of the first page, and the first window is displayed on the first page in a preset display form. The preset display form is any one of a banner window, a floating window, and a smart capsule. The electronic device can move the first window from the first position to the second position in response to the user's click operation on the first page to reduce the visual impact or operational impact on the user caused by the first window in the preset display form blocking the content of the first page.
