[0027] PLMN (Public Land Mobile Network): In a certain country or region, a cellular mobile communication network of a certain type of operator is called a PLMN.
[0028] The satellite system access method embodiment provided in the embodiments of the present application can be executed in a mobile terminal, a computer terminal or a similar computing device. Figure 1 shows a hardware structure block diagram of a computer terminal for implementing the satellite system access method. As shown in Figure 1, the computer terminal 10 may include one or more (102a, 102b, ..., 102n are used in the figure) processors (the processor may include but is not limited to a processing device such as a microprocessor MCU or a programmable logic device FPGA), a memory 104 for storing data, and a transmission module 106 for communication functions connected via a wired and / or wireless network. In addition, it may also include: a display, a keyboard, a cursor control device, an input / output interface (I / O interface), a universal serial bus (USB) port (which may be included as one of the ports of the I / O interface), a network interface, and a BUS bus.

For example, the computer terminal 10 may also include more or fewer components than shown in Figure 1, or have a configuration different from that shown in Figure 1.
[0029] It should be noted that the one or more processors and / or other data processing circuits described above may generally be referred to herein as "data processing circuitry." The data processing circuitry may be embodied in whole or in part as software, hardware, firmware, or any other combination thereof. Furthermore, the data processing circuitry may be a single, independent processing module, or may be incorporated in whole or in part into any of the other components of the computer terminal 10. As described in the embodiments of the present application, the data processing circuitry serves as a processor control (e.g., selection of a variable resistor terminal path connected to an interface).
[0030] Memory 104 can be used to store software programs and modules for application software, such as the program instructions / data storage device corresponding to the satellite system access method in the embodiments of the present application. The processor executes the software programs and modules stored in memory 104 to execute various functional applications and data processing, thereby implementing the satellite system access method described above. Memory 104 can include high-speed random access memory (RAM) and non-volatile memory, such as one or more magnetic storage devices, flash memory, or other non-volatile solid-state memory.

Examples of such networks include, but are not limited to, the Internet, corporate intranets, local area networks, mobile communication networks, and combinations thereof.
[0031] The transmission module 106 is configured to receive or transmit data via a network. A specific example of the aforementioned network may include a wireless network provided by the communications provider of the computer terminal 10. In one embodiment, the transmission module 106 includes a network interface controller (NIC), which can be connected to other network devices via a base station to enable communication with the Internet. In another embodiment, the transmission module 106 may be a radio frequency (RF) module, which is configured to communicate with the Internet wirelessly.
[0032] The display may be, for example, a touch screen liquid crystal display (LCD) that enables a user to interact with a user interface of the computer terminal 10 .
[0033] It should be noted that, in some optional embodiments, the computer terminal shown in FIG1 may include hardware components (including circuits), software components (including computer code stored on a computer-readable medium), or a combination of hardware components and software components. It should be noted that FIG1 is only an example of a specific embodiment and is intended to illustrate the types of components that may be present in the computer terminal.
[0034] In the above operating environment, an embodiment of the present application provides an embodiment of a method for accessing a satellite system. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart of the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer-executable instructions, and although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described can be executed in an order different from that shown here.
[0035] FIG2 is a flow chart of a method for accessing a satellite system according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG2 , the method includes the following steps:
[0036] Step S202, in response to the target object's power-on operation on the satellite terminal, obtaining target information of the satellite terminal, wherein the power-on operation is used to turn on the satellite communication function of the satellite terminal, and the target information includes the geographic location information of the satellite terminal and / or the mobile communication network to which the satellite terminal belongs.
[0037] In the above step S202, the activation operation refers to the satellite service user turning on the satellite communication switch on the satellite terminal to proceed with the subsequent satellite system access process; the geographic location information of the satellite terminal can be represented by the current location coordinates (latitude and longitude) information, and the communication network to which the satellite terminal belongs can be the cellular mobile communication network (PLMN) of the operator of the administrative region (e.g., country or region) to which the satellite terminal belongs; satellite communication is a communication method that uses artificial satellites to transmit communication signals. Through satellite communication, global communication coverage can be achieved, including telephone, television broadcasting, Internet and other data transmission. It should be noted that the mobile communication network to which the satellite terminal belongs is attempted to be acquired after the satellite service user activates the operation. When the mobile communication network corresponding to the country or region to which the satellite terminal belongs is acquired, the target information of the satellite terminal includes the geographic location information of the satellite terminal and the mobile communication network to which the satellite terminal belongs; when the mobile communication network corresponding to the country or region to which the satellite terminal belongs cannot be acquired, the target information of the satellite terminal only includes the geographic location information of the satellite terminal.
[0038] Step S204: If the target information is included in the information comparison table, the satellite terminal is connected to the target satellite system. The information comparison table includes a comparison relationship between all mobile communication networks, geographical location ranges, and supported satellite systems. The target satellite system is the satellite system corresponding to the target information in the information comparison table.
[0039] In the above step S204, the information comparison table is pre-configured in the satellite terminal. When the target information of the satellite terminal is included in the information comparison table, access to the target satellite system corresponding to the target information is performed.
[0040] Through steps S202 to S204, the goal of correctly selecting a satellite system supported by the geographic location for satellite access is achieved, thereby achieving the technical effect of preferentially accessing the appropriate satellite system to improve satellite access efficiency. This further solves the technical problem of satellite system access failure and degraded user experience caused by a terminal capable of accessing multiple satellite systems selecting a satellite system unsupported by the location. Detailed description is given below.
[0041] In some embodiments of the present application, after obtaining the target information of the satellite terminal, the method further includes: when the target information includes the mobile communication network to which the satellite terminal belongs and the geographic location information of the satellite terminal, determining whether to connect the satellite terminal to the target satellite system through a first process; when the target information does not include the mobile communication network to which the satellite terminal belongs and the target information includes the geographic location information of the satellite terminal, determining whether to connect the satellite terminal to the target satellite system through a second process.
[0042] The above process is explained below with reference to FIG3 . In an embodiment of the present application, FIG3 is a schematic diagram of a process for determining a supported satellite system for a terrestrial network PLMN and a geographic location according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG3 , after a satellite service user turns on the satellite switch on a terminal, the user enters a subsequent satellite system access process. Specifically, the user attempts to search the terrestrial network to obtain a PLMN of the terrestrial network to which the satellite terminal belongs, and obtains the geographic location information (or current location coordinates) of the satellite terminal. The PLMN and geographic location information are target information of the satellite terminal, and a determination is made as to whether the mobile communication network (PLMN) to which the satellite terminal belongs is obtained. If the mobile communication network to which the satellite terminal belongs is obtained, the target information of the satellite terminal includes the geographic location information of the satellite terminal and the mobile communication network to which the satellite terminal belongs. At this time, a first process is used to determine whether the satellite terminal is connected to the target satellite system, i.e., steps 5 to 8 in FIG3 . If the mobile communication network to which the satellite terminal belongs cannot be obtained, the target information of the satellite terminal includes only the geographic location information of the satellite terminal. At this time, a second process is used to determine whether the satellite terminal is connected to the target satellite system, i.e., steps 9 to 11 in FIG3 .
[0043] It should be noted that satellite terminal communication is an independent communication network. Unlike the terrestrial mobile communication network, the satellite terminal can communicate with the satellite ground station via satellite without relying on the terrestrial mobile communication network. Therefore, when obtaining the terrestrial mobile communication network to which the satellite terminal belongs, it is not necessarily possible to obtain the corresponding mobile communication network.
[0044] In some embodiments of the present application, a first process is used to determine whether to access a satellite terminal to a target satellite system, including: determining a target country corresponding to a mobile communication network to which the satellite terminal belongs from an information comparison table; when the geographic location information is within a first target geographic location range among multiple geographic location ranges corresponding to the target country, determining a target satellite system corresponding to the first target geographic location range from the information comparison table, wherein the first target geographic location range is any one of the multiple geographic location ranges, and each geographic location range does not overlap; and the satellite terminal accesses the target satellite system.
[0045] In some embodiments of the present application, the method further includes: disabling a satellite communication function of the satellite terminal when the geographical location information is not within the range of the multiple geographical locations.
[0046] In an embodiment of the present application, a table is provided for comparing terrestrial PLMNs and supported geographic locations. As shown in Table 1, this table includes a mapping between all national terrestrial mobile communication network PLMNs, geographic location polygons (divided into multiple polygons), and supported satellite systems. The first and second processes described above are described below in conjunction with Table 1 and Figure 3.
[0047] Table 1
[0048] In the first process of the satellite system supported by the terrestrial network PLMN and geographic location determination provided in the embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 3, when the target information of the satellite terminal includes the geographic location information of the satellite terminal and the mobile communication network PLMN to which the satellite terminal belongs, step 5 is performed to find the country (i.e., the target country) in the information comparison table according to the PLMN. Specifically, the target country corresponding to the mobile network communication to which the satellite terminal belongs is determined from the information comparison table (Table 1) according to the acquired mobile communication network to which the satellite terminal belongs; step 6 is performed to check whether the location coordinates are in a polygon of the target country in the information comparison table. Specifically, it is checked whether the location information of the satellite terminal (i.e., the location coordinates in the above step 6) is in any geographic location range corresponding to the target country (i.e., the first target geographic location range, or a polygon of the target country). The geographic location range refers to Table 1. In the geographic location polygon in 1, different polygons are composed of different geographic location ranges, wherein each geographic location range corresponding to the target country does not overlap, and each geographic location range may correspond to one or more satellite systems supported by the geographic location; when the location information of the satellite terminal is within the first target geographic location range, one or more satellite systems supported by the first target geographic location range are determined as the target satellite system, and further, the satellite system corresponding to the access polygon is accessed through step 7, so that the satellite terminal is enabled to access a target satellite system supported by the first target geographic location range or any one of the multiple target satellite systems supported by the first target geographic location range; when the location information of the satellite terminal is not within all geographic location ranges corresponding to the target country, the satellite communication function of the satellite terminal is disabled through step 8, that is, the satellite terminal is prohibited from accessing the satellite system.
[0049] In some embodiments of the present application, a second process is used to determine whether to connect the satellite terminal to the target satellite system, including: when the geographic location information is within a second target geographic location range among all geographic location ranges in the information comparison table, determining the target satellite system corresponding to the second target geographic location range from the information comparison table, wherein the second target geographic location range is any one geographic location range among all geographic location ranges, and each geographic location range does not overlap; and connecting the satellite terminal to the target satellite system.
[0050] In some embodiments of the present application, the method further includes: disabling a satellite communication function of the satellite terminal when the geographical location information is not within the range of all geographical locations.
[0051] The second process described above is explained below in conjunction with Table 1 and Figure 3. In the second process of the satellite system supported by the terrestrial network PLMN and geographic location determination provided in the embodiment of the present application, as shown in Figure 3, when the PLMN to which the satellite terminal belongs is not obtained, the target information of the satellite terminal only includes the geographic location information of the satellite terminal. Step 9 is used to check whether the location coordinates are in the polygon in the information comparison table. It should be noted that the inspection range in step 9 is the polygon corresponding to all countries. Specifically, according to Table 1, it is checked whether the location information of the satellite terminal is in any geographic location range among all geographic location ranges corresponding to all countries (i.e., the second target geographic location range), wherein each geographic location in all geographic location ranges is within any one of the geographic location ranges. The ranges do not overlap, and each geographical location range may correspond to one or more satellite systems supported by the geographical location; when the location information of the satellite terminal is within the second target geographical location range, one or more satellite systems supported by the second target geographical location range are determined as target satellite systems, and further, the satellite system corresponding to the access polygon is accessed through step 10, so that the satellite terminal is enabled to access a target satellite system supported by the second target geographical location range or any one of the multiple target satellite systems supported by the second target geographical location range; when the location information of the satellite terminal is not within all geographical location ranges corresponding to all countries, the satellite communication function of the satellite terminal is disabled through step 11, that is, the satellite terminal is prohibited from accessing the satellite system.
[0052] In an embodiment of the present application, the satellite terminal is pre-configured with an information comparison table supported by the terrestrial network PLMN and the geographical location, so that when a terminal supporting multiple satellite access capabilities uses satellite services, the country or region where the target satellite terminal is located is determined in combination with the terrestrial network PLMN and the geographical location of the satellite terminal, and the supported target satellite system is obtained based on the information comparison table supported by the terrestrial network PLMN and the geographical location configured inside the satellite terminal; combined with the satellite terminal capabilities, a satellite system with priority access is obtained, thereby avoiding satellite system access failure, improving the user experience of satellite service users, and at the same time, avoiding satellite access of the satellite terminal to a satellite system that is not supported by the geographical location.
[0053] In an embodiment of the present application, target information of the satellite terminal is obtained by responding to a power-on operation of a target object on the satellite terminal, wherein the power-on operation is used to turn on the satellite communication function of the satellite terminal, and the target information includes the geographic location information of the satellite terminal and / or the mobile communication network to which the satellite terminal belongs; when the target information is included in an information comparison table, the satellite terminal is connected to the target satellite system, wherein the information comparison table includes a comparison relationship between all mobile communication networks, geographic location ranges, and supported satellite systems, and the target satellite system is the satellite system corresponding to the target information in the information comparison table, thereby achieving the purpose of correctly selecting a satellite system supported by the geographic location for satellite access, thereby realizing the technical effect of preferentially accessing a suitable satellite system to improve satellite access efficiency, and further solving the technical problem of satellite system access failure and reduced user experience caused by a terminal that supports access to multiple satellite systems selecting a satellite system that is not supported at the location.

[0058] Through the acquisition module 42 and access module 44 in the above-mentioned satellite system access device, the purpose of correctly selecting a satellite system supported by the geographical location for satellite access is achieved, thereby achieving the technical effect of preferentially accessing the appropriate satellite system to improve satellite access efficiency, and further solving the technical problem of satellite system access failure and reduced user experience caused by a terminal that supports multiple satellite system access capabilities selecting a satellite system that is not supported by the location.
