Abstract
A positioning method includes receiving, by an electronic device, a first satellite signal using a first antenna, and obtaining, by the electronic device, a first signal quality of the first satellite signal. When the electronic device is in a landscape posture, receiving, by the electronic device, a second satellite signal using a second antenna; and obtaining, by the electronic device, a second signal quality of the second satellite signal. If the first signal quality is lower than the second signal quality, performing, by the electronic device, positioning using the second antenna. If the first signal quality is higher than the second signal quality, performing, by the electronic device, positioning using the first antenna.
Claims20
A method implemented by an electronic device, wherein the method comprises:
- receiving a first satellite signal using a first antenna of the electronic device when the electronic device is in a portrait mode;
- receiving a second satellite signal using a second antenna of the electronic device when the electronic device is in a landscape mode;
- detecting that the electronic device is a landscape mode;
- in response to detecting the landscape mode, performing a first positioning using the second antenna when a first signal quality of the first satellite signal is lower than a second signal quality of the second satellite signal;
- and
- in response to detecting the landscape mode, performing a second positioning using the first antenna when the first signal quality is higher than the second signal quality;
- combining the first satellite signal and the second satellite signal to obtain a third satellite signal;
- and further determining a location information based on the third satellite signal.
An electronic device comprising:
- a first antenna configured to receive a first satellite signal comprising a first signal quality when the electronic device is in a portrait mode;
- a second antenna configured to receive a second satellite signal comprising a second signal quality when the electronic device is in a landscape mode;
- a sensor configured to detect that the portrait mode to the landscape mode;
- a path selection component coupled to the first antenna and the second antenna and configured to select the first antenna to receive the first satellite signal or the second antenna to receive the second satellite signal;
- and
- a baseband processor coupled to the path selection component and configured to:
- in response to detecting the landscape mode, perform a first positioning using the second antenna when the first signal quality is lower than the second signal quality;
- and
- in response to detecting the landscape, perform a second positioning using the first antenna when the first signal quality is higher than the second signal quality;
- combine the first satellite signal and the second satellite signal to obtain a third satellite signal;
- and determine first location information based on the third satellite signal.
A positioning chip applied in a positioning apparatus, wherein the positioning chip is configured to:
- in response to an indication of a landscape mode from the positioning apparatus, perform a first positioning using a second antenna of the positioning apparatus when a first signal quality of a first satellite signal using a first antenna is lower than a second signal quality of a second satellite signal using the second antenna, wherein the first satellite signal is associated with a portrait mode and the second satellite signal is associated with the landscape mode;
- and
- in response to the indication, perform a second positioning using the first antenna when the first signal quality is higher than the second signal quality;
- combine the first satellite signal and the second satellite signal to obtain a third satellite signal;
- and determine first location information based on the third satellite signal.
