103. Determining the priority order between a first antenna and a second antenna according to a first detection parameter of the first antenna and a second detection parameter of the second antenna, and obtaining that the priority of the first antenna is higher than that of the second antenna.

Wherein the first detection parameter of the first antenna may include at least one of: a first working efficiency value of a working frequency band of a first antenna working under a target communication system, a first reference signal strength value corresponding to the first antenna, a first standing wave value of the first antenna working under the working frequency band, a first approaching state of the first antenna and the like; the second detection parameter of the second antenna may include at least one of: a second working efficiency value of a working frequency band of the second antenna working under the target communication system, a second reference signal strength value corresponding to the second antenna, a second standing wave value of the second antenna working under the working frequency band, a second approach state of the second antenna, and the like.

The priority order between the first antenna and the second antenna can be determined according to the first detection parameter of the first antenna and the second detection parameter of the second antenna, so that the priority of the first antenna is higher than that of the second antenna.

Optionally, the first detection parameter is a first operating efficiency value of the first antenna, the second detection parameter is a second operating efficiency value of the second antenna, and in step 103, the priority order between the first antenna and the second antenna is determined according to the first detection parameter of the first antenna and the second detection parameter of the second antenna, so as to obtain a priority of the first antenna higher than a priority of the second antenna, which may include the following steps:

31. acquiring a working frequency band of the electronic equipment in any one target communication system of the at least one target communication system;

32. acquiring a first working efficiency value of the first antenna working in the working frequency band and a second working efficiency value of the second antenna working in the working frequency band;

33. if the first operating efficiency value is greater than the second operating efficiency value, determining that the priority of the first antenna is higher than the priority of the second antenna.

Specifically, if the target communication system is a cellular communication system or LPWAN communication system, the first and second operating efficiency values of the first and second antennas at the operating frequency bands corresponding to the target communication system may be obtained, and if the first operating efficiency value is greater than the second operating efficiency value, the priority of the first antenna may be determined to be higher than the priority of the second antenna. For example, when the target communication system is the LPWAN communication system, the operating frequency band in which the electronic device operates in the LPWAN communication system may be determined, then, a first operating efficiency value of the first antenna operating in the operating frequency band and a second operating efficiency value of the second antenna operating in the operating frequency band may be obtained, and if the first operating efficiency value is greater than the second operating efficiency value, it may be determined that the priority of the first antenna is higher than the priority of the second antenna. For another example, when the target communication system is a cellular communication system, an operating frequency band in which the electronic device operates in the cellular communication system may be determined, then, a first operating efficiency value of the first antenna operating in the operating frequency band and a second operating efficiency value of the second antenna operating in the operating frequency band may be obtained, and if the first operating efficiency value is greater than the second operating efficiency value, it may be determined that the priority of the first antenna is higher than the priority of the second antenna.

If the target communication system comprises a cellular communication system and an LPWAN communication system, a working frequency band of the electronic equipment in any one of the two target communication systems can be acquired, namely, a working frequency band corresponding to the cellular communication system or the LPWAN communication system can be acquired, then, a first working efficiency value of the first antenna working in the working frequency band and a second working efficiency value of the second antenna working in the working frequency band are acquired, and if the first working efficiency value is greater than the second working efficiency value, the priority of the first antenna is determined to be higher than the priority of the second antenna.

Therefore, the first antenna with the larger working efficiency value is determined to be selected to be connected with the first communication branch corresponding to the target communication system according to the first working efficiency value of the first antenna and the second working efficiency value of the second antenna, and therefore the working efficiency of the antenna working under the target communication system can be improved.

Optionally, the first detection parameter is a first reference signal strength value of the first antenna, and the second detection parameter is a second reference signal strength value of the second antenna, in step 103, the priority order between the first antenna and the second antenna is determined according to the first detection parameter of the first antenna and the second detection parameter of the second antenna, so as to obtain that the priority of the first antenna is higher than the priority of the second antenna, and the method may include the following steps:

34. switching the DPDT switch to the first antenna to obtain a first reference signal strength value corresponding to the first antenna;

35. switching the DPDT switch to the second antenna to obtain a second reference signal strength value corresponding to the second antenna;

36. if the first reference signal strength value is greater than the second reference signal strength value, determining that the priority of the first antenna is higher than the priority of the second antenna.

The priority order between the first antenna and the second antenna may be determined according to a first reference signal strength value of the first antenna and a second reference signal strength value of the second antenna, and specifically, the DPDT switch may be switched to the first antenna to obtain a first reference signal strength value corresponding to the first antenna, and then the DPDT switch may be switched to the second antenna to obtain a second reference signal strength value corresponding to the second antenna, and if the first reference signal strength value is greater than the second reference signal strength value, it may be determined that the priority of the first antenna is higher than the priority of the second antenna. Therefore, the first antenna with the larger signal intensity value can be determined to be selected to be connected with the first communication branch corresponding to the target communication system according to the first reference signal intensity value of the first antenna and the second reference signal intensity value of the second antenna, and therefore the signal intensity of the antenna working under the target communication system can be improved.

Optionally, the first detection parameter is a first standing wave value of the first antenna, the second detection parameter is a second standing wave value of the second antenna, and in step 103, the priority order between the first antenna and the second antenna is determined according to the first detection parameter of the first antenna and the second detection parameter of the second antenna, so as to obtain a priority that the priority of the first antenna is higher than the priority of the second antenna, which may include the following steps:

37. acquiring a working frequency band of the electronic equipment in any one target communication system of the at least one target communication system;

38. acquiring a first standing wave value of the first antenna working in the working frequency band and a second standing wave value of the second antenna working in the working frequency band;

39. and if the first standing wave value is smaller than the second standing wave value, determining that the priority of the first antenna is higher than that of the second antenna.

Specifically, if the target communication system is a cellular communication system or LPWAN communication system, the first standing wave value and the second standing wave value of the first antenna and the second antenna at the working frequency band corresponding to the target communication system may be obtained, and if the first standing wave value is smaller than the second standing wave value, the priority of the first antenna may be determined to be higher than the priority of the second antenna. For example, when the target communication system is the LPWAN communication system, an operating frequency band in which the electronic device operates in the LPWAN communication system may be determined, then, a first standing wave value at which the first antenna operates in the operating frequency band and a second standing wave value at which the second antenna operates in the operating frequency band may be obtained, and if the first standing wave value is smaller than the second standing wave value, it may be determined that the priority of the first antenna is higher than the priority of the second antenna. When the target communication system is a cellular communication system, a working frequency band in which the electronic device works in the cellular communication system can be determined, then, a first standing wave value of the first antenna working in the working frequency band and a second standing wave value of the second antenna working in the working frequency band are obtained, and if the first standing wave value is smaller than the second standing wave value, the priority of the first antenna can be determined to be higher than that of the second antenna. Therefore, the first antenna with the smaller standing wave value can be determined to be connected with the first communication branch corresponding to the target communication system according to the first standing wave value of the first antenna and the second standing wave value of the second antenna, and the smaller the standing wave value is, the smaller the loss in the signal transmission process is, and the higher the signal transmission rate is, so that the signal transmission rate of the antenna working in the target communication system can be improved.

If the target communication system comprises a cellular communication system and an LPWAN communication system, a working frequency band of the electronic equipment in any one of the two target communication systems can be acquired, namely, a working frequency band corresponding to the cellular communication system or the LPWAN communication system can be acquired, then, a first standing wave value of the first antenna working in the working frequency band and a second standing wave value of the second antenna working in the working frequency band are acquired, and if the first standing wave value is smaller than the second standing wave value, the priority of the first antenna is determined to be higher than that of the second antenna.

Optionally, the first detection parameter is a first proximity state of the first antenna, the second detection parameter is a second proximity state of the second antenna, the electronic device further includes a first proximity sensor corresponding to the first antenna, and a second proximity sensor corresponding to the second antenna, in step 103, the priority order between the first antenna and the second antenna is determined according to the first detection parameter of the first antenna and the second detection parameter of the second antenna, and the priority of the first antenna is higher than the priority of the second antenna, which may include the following steps:

and if the second proximity sensor detects that an object is close to the second antenna within a preset distance, determining that the priority of the first antenna is higher than that of the second antenna.

In the embodiment of the application, in the electronic device, a first proximity sensor is arranged at a first position corresponding to a first antenna, a second proximity sensor is arranged at a second position corresponding to a second antenna, and the first proximity sensor can be used for detecting a first proximity state of the first antenna, that is, whether an object is close to the first antenna within a preset distance or not. When the second proximity sensor detects that an object is close to the second antenna within the preset distance, the second proximity sensor indicates that the second antenna is possibly blocked by the object, and therefore the priority of the first antenna can be determined to be higher than that of the second antenna. When the second antenna is blocked by the hand of the user, the signal transmission of the second antenna can be influenced, and therefore, whether the first antenna or the second antenna is blocked or not is judged through the proximity sensor, so that the priority of the unblocked first antenna can be determined to be higher than that of the second antenna, and the signal strength of the antenna working under the target communication system can be improved.

104. If any target signal strength in the at least one target signal strength is smaller than a corresponding preset signal strength threshold value, switching a first communication branch corresponding to the any target signal strength to the first antenna through the DPDT switch; and switching a second communication branch to the second antenna through the DPDT switch, wherein the second communication branch is a communication branch corresponding to a communication system except for the target communication system corresponding to the first communication branch in the cellular communication system and the LPWAN communication system.

In the embodiment of the application, one end of the DPDT switch is connected to the LPWAN communication module and the cellular communication module, and the other end of the DPDT switch is connected to the first antenna and the second antenna, so that the DPDT switch can be switched to determine the connection between the LPWAN communication module and the first antenna or the second antenna, and to determine the connection between the LPWAN communication module and the first antenna or the second antenna. Thus, the LPWAN communication system and the cellular communication system in the electronic equipment can share 2 antennas, and the two communication systems can be used simultaneously.

In a specific implementation, after determining that the priority of the first antenna is higher than the priority of the second antenna, if any one of the at least one target signal strengths is smaller than the corresponding preset signal strength threshold, the DPDT switch may be used to switch the first communication branch corresponding to the any one target signal strength to the first antenna, and the DPDT switch may be used to switch the second communication branch to the second antenna. If the antenna connected with the first communication branch corresponding to the target communication system is the first antenna, the state that the first communication branch is connected with the first antenna is maintained, and antenna switching does not need to be performed through a DPDT switch. Therefore, the antenna with higher priority is selected for antenna switching according to the target communication system currently used by the electronic equipment, and the communication performance of the target communication system is improved.

Optionally, the at least one target communication system is the cellular communication system and the LPWAN communication system, and the at least one target signal strength includes a first target signal strength corresponding to the cellular communication system and a second target signal strength corresponding to the LPWAN communication system; in the embodiment of the present application, the method may further include the following steps:

if the first target signal strength is smaller than a first preset signal strength threshold corresponding to the cellular communication system and the second target signal strength is smaller than a second preset signal strength threshold corresponding to the LPWAN communication system, switching a first communication branch corresponding to the cellular communication system to the first antenna through the DPDT switch; and switching a second communication branch to the second antenna through the DPDT switch, wherein the second communication branch is a communication branch other than the target communication system corresponding to the first communication branch.

Under the scene that the target communication system comprises a cellular communication system and an LPWAN communication system, if the first target signal strength is smaller than a first preset signal strength threshold value and the second target signal strength is smaller than a second preset signal strength threshold value, switching a first communication branch corresponding to the cellular communication system to the first antenna through a DPDT switch; the second communication branch is switched to the second antenna through the DPDT switch, and the second communication branch is a communication branch corresponding to the LPWAN communication system, so that antenna switching can be performed on the first communication branch corresponding to the cellular communication system, and the communication performance of the first communication branch corresponding to the cellular communication system is ensured.

It can be seen that the antenna switching method described in this embodiment of the present application is applied to an electronic device, obtains at least one target communication system by using at least one of a cellular communication system and an LPWAN communication system as a target communication system, obtains at least one target signal strength corresponding to the at least one target communication system, determines a priority order between a first antenna and a second antenna according to a first detection parameter of the first antenna and a second detection parameter of the second antenna, obtains a priority of the first antenna higher than that of the second antenna, switches a first communication branch corresponding to any target signal strength to the first antenna and a second communication branch to the second antenna if any target signal strength is smaller than a corresponding preset signal strength threshold, and thus, selects an antenna with a higher priority for antenna switching according to the target signal strength corresponding to the target communication system in the electronic device, and the communication performance of the target communication system is improved.
