Abstract

An electronic device includes one Wi-Fi chip and a first antenna and a second antenna connected to the Wi-Fi chip. The first antenna wirelessly communicates with another electronic device in a Wi-Fi P2P manner through a first channel. The second antenna wirelessly communicates with a first wireless signal source in a Wi-Fi AP manner through a second channel. After it is detected that the first channel and the second channel are two different channels on a same frequency band and time division multiplexing is performed on the first antenna and the second antenna, and a second wireless signal source whose frequency band is different from a frequency band of the first wireless signal source is detected within preset duration, the second channel is adjusted and the second antenna wirelessly communicates with the second wireless signal source in the Wi-Fi AP manner through the adjusted second channel.

Claims (22)

1 . An electronic device, the electronic device comprising:

a Wi-Fi chip configured to enable a first antenna and a second antenna to simultaneously, respectively, and independently send signals through different channels on different frequency bands;

N antennas, N being a positive integer greater than or equal to 2, each being connected to the Wi-Fi chip, the N antennas comprising the first antenna and the second antenna, the first antenna being configured to wirelessly communicate with another electronic device in a wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) peer-to-peer (P2P) manner through a first channel, and the second antenna being configured to wirelessly communicate with a first wireless signal source in a Wi-Fi access point (AP) manner through a second channel;

one or more processors; and

one or more memories having stored thereon one or more computer programs that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the following to be performed:

after it is detected that the first channel and the second channel are two different channels on a same frequency band and time division multiplexing is performed on the first antenna and the second antenna, and a second wireless signal source whose frequency band is different from a frequency band of the first wireless signal source is detected within preset duration, the second channel is adjusted, wherein an adjusted second channel and the first channel are different channels on different frequency bands, and

the first antenna wirelessly communicates with the another electronic device in the Wi-Fi P2P manner through the first channel, and the second antenna wirelessly communicates with the second wireless signal source in the Wi-Fi AP manner through the adjusted second channel.

2 . The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more computer programs, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the following to be performed:

after it is detected that the first channel and the second channel are two different channels on the same frequency band, but the second wireless signal source whose frequency band is different from the frequency band of the first wireless signal source is not detected within the preset duration, the first antenna wirelessly communicates with the another electronic device in the Wi-Fi P2P manner through the first channel, and the second antenna wirelessly communicates with the first wireless signal source in the Wi-Fi AP manner through the first channel.

3 . The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more computer programs, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the following to be performed:

after it is detected that the first channel and the second channel are two different channels on the same frequency band, but the second wireless signal source whose frequency band is different from the frequency band of the first wireless signal source is not detected within the preset duration, and a wireless signal source whose channel is the same as the first channel is detected within other preset duration, the first antenna wirelessly communicates with the another electronic device in the Wi-Fi P2P manner through the first channel, and the second antenna wirelessly communicates with the wireless signal source in the Wi-Fi AP manner through the first channel.

4 . The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more computer programs, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the following to be performed:

after it is detected that the first channel and the second channel are two different channels on the same frequency band, but the second wireless signal source whose frequency band is different from the frequency band of the first wireless signal source is not detected within the preset duration, and the wireless signal source whose channel is the same as the first channel is not detected within the other preset duration, the electronic device skips processing.

5 . The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more computer programs, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the following to be performed:

after it is detected that the first channel and the second channel are a same channel on the same frequency band, and the second wireless signal source whose frequency band is different from the frequency band of the first wireless signal source is detected within the preset duration, the second channel is adjusted, wherein an adjusted second channel and the first channel are different channels on different frequency bands, the first antenna wirelessly communicates with the another electronic device in the Wi-Fi P2P manner through the first channel, and the second antenna wirelessly communicates with the second wireless signal source in the Wi-Fi AP manner through the adjusted second channel.

6 . An electronic device, wherein the electronic device comprises:

a Wi-Fi chip configured to enable a first antenna and a second antenna to simultaneously, respectively, and independently send signals through different channels on different frequency bands;

N antennas, N being a positive integer greater than or equal to 2, each being connected to the Wi-Fi chip, the N antennas comprising the first antenna and the second antenna, the first antenna being configured to wirelessly communicate with another electronic device in a wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) peer-to-peer (P2P) manner through a first channel, the second antenna being configured to wirelessly communicate with a first wireless signal source in a Wi-Fi access point (AP) manner through a second channel; and

one or more processors; and

one or more memories having stored thereon one or more computer programs that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the following to be performed:

after it is detected that the first channel and the second channel are two different channels on a same frequency band, and time division multiplexing is performed on the first antenna and the second antenna, or after it is detected that the first channel and the second channel are different channels on two different frequency bands, the first antenna wirelessly communicates with the another electronic device in the Wi-Fi P2P manner through the first channel, and the second antenna wirelessly communicates with the first wireless signal source in the Wi-Fi AP manner through the first channel; or

after it is detected that the first channel and the second channel are two different channels on a same frequency band, and time division multiplexing is performed on the first antenna and the second antenna, or after it is detected that the first channel and the second channel are different channels on two different frequency bands, the first antenna wirelessly communicates with the another electronic device in the Wi-Fi P2P manner through the second channel, and the second antenna wirelessly communicates with the first wireless signal source in the Wi-Fi AP manner through the second channel.
