Abstract

Disclosed are a method and apparatus for dynamically adjusting an SAR value, a mobile terminal, and a computer storage medium. The method for dynamically adjusting the SAR value is applied to the mobile terminal. The mobile terminal comprises a WiFi antenna used for connecting a WiFi network. The method comprises: monitoring the change of a cell or the change of a network type of the mobile terminal; when monitoring the change of the cell or the change of the network type of the mobile terminal, obtaining a working frequency band on which the mobile terminal currently camps; and adjusting the transmit power of the WiFi antenna according to a difference value between a pre-stored SAR value corresponding to the working frequency band and an SAR standard value.

Claims (34)

1. A method for dynamically adjusting a Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) value, applied to a mobile terminal, the mobile terminal comprising a Wi-Fi antenna for connecting to a Wi-Fi network, the method comprising:

monitoring a cell change or a network standard change of the mobile terminal;

in response to that the cell change or the network standard change is monitored, acquiring an operating frequency band in which the mobile terminal currently camps; and

adjusting a transmission power of the Wi-Fi antenna according to the operating frequency band and an SAR value reference table;

wherein the SAR value reference table comprises: a pre-stored SAR value set, each pre-stored SAR value corresponding to an operating frequency of the mobile device; a difference value between a pre-stored SAR value corresponding to each operating frequency band and a SAR standard value; and a power adjustment value corresponding to the difference value between the pre-stored SAR value corresponding to each operating frequency and the SAR standard value.

2. The method for dynamically adjusting the SAR value of claim 1 , wherein the mobile terminal further comprises at least one antenna for connecting to a cellular network, and the method further comprises:

obtaining position information of a primary antenna of the at least one antenna;

obtaining a modified SAR value by modifying the pre-stored SAR value according to the position information; and

adjusting the transmission power of the Wi-Fi antenna according to a difference value between the modified SAR value and the SAR standard value.

3. The method for dynamically adjusting the SAR value of claim 1 , further comprising:

in response to that the cell change is monitored, when the operating frequency band in which the mobile terminal currently camps is the same as an operating frequency band in which the mobile terminal previously camped, not adjusting the transmission power of the Wi-Fi antenna within the operating frequency band in which the mobile terminal currently camps.

4. The method for dynamically adjusting the SAR value of claim 1 , wherein the network standard comprises at least one of a 2nd Generation (2G) network, a 3nd Generation (3G) network, or a 4nd Generation (4G) network.

5. A mobile terminal, comprising an application chip, a baseband chip, a Wi-Fi assembly, and a Wi-Fi antenna for connecting to a Wi-Fi network; wherein the application chip and the Wi-Fi assembly are both connected to the baseband chip, and the Wi-Fi assembly is connected to the Wi-Fi antenna;

the application chip is configured to monitor a cell change or a network standard change of the mobile terminal from the baseband chip;

in response to that the cell change or the network standard change is monitored, the application chip is configured to acquire, from the baseband chip, an operating frequency band in which the mobile terminal currently camps; and

the application chip is configured to notify the baseband chip to control the Wi-Fi assembly to adjust a transmission power of the Wi-Fi antenna according to the operating frequency band and an SAR value reference table;

wherein the SAR value reference table comprises: a pre-stored SAR value set, each pre-stored SAR value corresponding to an operating frequency of the mobile device; a difference value between a pre-stored SAR value corresponding to each operating frequency band and a SAR standard value; and a power adjustment value corresponding to the difference value between the pre-stored SAR value corresponding to each operating frequency and the SAR standard value.

6. The mobile terminal of claim 5 , further comprising at least one antenna for connecting to a cellular network,

the application chip is configured to obtain position information of a primary antenna of the at least one antenna, and obtain a modified SAR value by modifying the pre-stored SAR value according to the position information; and

the application chip is further configured to notify the baseband chip to adjust the transmission power of the Wi-Fi antenna according to a difference value between the modified SAR value and the SAR standard value.

7. The mobile terminal of claim 5 , further comprising: in response to that the cell change is monitored, when the operating frequency band in which the mobile terminal currently camps is the same as an operating frequency band in which the mobile terminal previously camped, the application chip is configured to not notify the baseband chip to adjust the transmission power of the Wi-Fi antenna.

8. The mobile terminal of claim 5 , wherein the network standard comprises at least one of a 2nd Generation (2G) network, a 3nd Generation (3G) network, or a 4nd Generation (4G) network.

9. A non-transitory computer storage medium having stored thereon a computer program that, when executed, performs steps of:

monitoring a cell change or a network standard change of a mobile terminal;

in response to that the cell change or the network standard change is monitored, acquiring an operating frequency band in which the mobile terminal currently camps; and

adjusting a transmission power of a Wi-Fi antenna the operating frequency band and an SAR value reference table;

wherein the SAR value reference table comprises: a pre-stored SAR value set, each pre-stored SAR value corresponding to an operating frequency of the mobile device; a difference value between a pre-stored SAR value corresponding to each operating frequency band and a SAR standard value; and a power adjustment value corresponding to the difference value between the pre-stored SAR value corresponding to each operating frequency and the SAR standard value.

10. The non-transitory computer storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the mobile terminal further comprises at least one antenna for connecting to a cellular network, and when the computer program is executed, the computer program performs steps of:

obtaining position information of a primary antenna of the at least one antenna;

obtaining a modified SAR value by modifying the pre-stored SAR value according to the position information; and

adjusting the transmission power of the Wi-Fi antenna according to a difference value between the modified SAR value and the SAR standard value.

11. The non-transitory computer storage medium of claim 9 , wherein when the computer program is executed, the computer program performs steps of:

in response to that the cell change is monitored, when the operating frequency band in which the mobile terminal currently camps is the same as an operating frequency band in which the mobile terminal previously camped, not adjusting the transmission power of the Wi-Fi antenna within the operating frequency band in which the mobile terminal currently camps.

12. The non-transitory computer storage medium of claim 9 , wherein the network standard comprises at least one of a 2nd Generation (2G) network, a 3rd Generation (3G) network, or a 4th Generation (4G) network.
