Abstract
A method for selecting a multi-antenna transmission mode of an electronic device is provided. The method includes determining, by using a detection signal from a sensor, whether there is a contact with a human body, changing a second transmission mode to a first transmission mode when there is a contact with a human body that affects the electromagnetic field around an antenna, and transmitting the same data stream through at least two antennas according to the first transmission mode.
Claims22
A method for selecting a multi-antenna transmission mode in an electronic device, the method comprising:
- determining, by using a detection signal from a sensor, whether there is a contact with a human body that affects an electromagnetic field around an antenna;
- changing a second transmission mode to a first transmission mode if there is a contact with a human body that affects an electromagnetic field around an antenna;
- and
- transmitting a same data stream through two or more antennas according to the first transmission mode.
A method of operating an electronic device, the method comprising:
- determining by using a detection signal from a sensor whether there is a contact with a human body that affects an electromagnetic field around an antenna;
- selecting a first transmission mode if there is a contact with the human body that affects the electromagnetic field around the antenna, and selecting a second transmission mode if there is no contact with the human body that affects the electromagnetic field around the antenna;
- and
- transmitting a data stream through two or more antennas according to the first or second transmission mode.
An electronic device comprising:
- a sensor;
- one or more processors;
- a memory;
- and
- one or more programs stored in the memory and configured to be executed by the one or more processors, wherein the one or more programs comprise instructions to:
- determine, by using a detection signal from a sensor, whether there is a contact with a human body that affects an electromagnetic field around an antenna;
- change a second transmission mode to a first transmission mode if there is a contact with the human body;
- and
- transmit a same data stream through two or more antennas according to the first transmission mode.
An electronic device comprising:
