This application relates to the field of satellite communication technologies, and in particular, to a method for calibrating satellite short message communication charging and a device.
A BeiDou navigation satellite system (BDS) is a global navigation satellite system, being implemented, independently developed and operated by China. BDS-based short message communication means bidirectional information transmission that can be performed between a BeiDou ground terminal, a BeiDou satellite, and a BeiDou ground monitoring station through satellite signals. A BeiDou short message is usually used as a basic transmission unit in BeiDou satellite communication. BeiDou short message communication is a functional characteristic of the BDS.
The BeiDou short message communication may provide a communication service in areas (such as uninhabited areas, deserts, oceans, and polar regions) that cannot be covered by a common mobile communication signal or in scenarios (such as earthquake, flood, and typhoon) in which a communication base station is damaged. An electronic device in which a BeiDou short message module is installed may perform emergency communication by sending a BeiDou short message. The electronic device may be located through the BeiDou short message communication, so that a user learns of where the user is. In addition, information may be sent to the outside through the BeiDou short message communication, to tell others what happened. Therefore, the BeiDou short message communication plays a significant role in fields such as national defense, people's livelihood, and emergency rescue, and is widely used in scenarios such as outdoors, fishery, and disaster rescue.
The BeiDou short message communication is mainly used in a scenario in which a communication status is poor. A satellite signal at a location of a user may be weak, and after sending a BeiDou short message, the electronic device may not be capable of receiving a sending result returned by the BeiDou satellite. Therefore, a problem of inaccurate fee deduction is likely to occur when the electronic device performs BeiDou short message communication charging.
This application provides a method for calibrating satellite short message communication charging and a device, to improve accuracy of satellite short message communication charging.
According to a first aspect, this application provides a method for calibrating satellite short message communication charging. The method may be performed by an electronic device. The method includes: An electronic device sends a target satellite short message to a satellite in response to a first operation. The electronic device performs a pre-fee-deduction operation for a satellite short message service, and updates a first parameter to a first value, where the first parameter is a remaining quota that is of the satellite short message service and that is stored in the electronic device. When the electronic device is connected to a communication network, the electronic device sends the first value to a server. The electronic device receives a first calibration result sent by the server, where the first calibration result indicates whether the first value is consistent with a second value, the second value is a value of a second parameter, and the second parameter is a remaining quota that is of the satellite short message service of the electronic device and that is stored in the server. The electronic device calibrates the first parameter based on the first calibration result.
In the foregoing method, after sending the target satellite short message to the satellite, the electronic device may perform the pre-fee-deduction operation without waiting for a sending result returned by the satellite. In this way, the electronic device may perform charging in a timely manner, to prevent a problem of incorrect fee deduction in a scenario in which the electronic device cannot receive the sending result. In addition, when the electronic device is connected to the communication network, the electronic device may report the first value to the server in a timely manner to calibrate the remaining quota. This further ensures accuracy of satellite short message communication charging.
In an embodiment, after the sending a target satellite short message to a satellite, the method further includes: storing a sending record of the target satellite short message.
According to the embodiment, the electronic device may store a sending record of sending a satellite short message for subsequent use in performing remaining quota calibration.
In an embodiment, after the performing a pre-fee-deduction operation for a satellite short message service, and updating a first parameter to a first value, the method further includes: receiving a first sending result sent by the satellite, where the first sending result indicates that the target satellite short message fails to be sent; and canceling the pre-fee-deduction operation, and updating the first parameter again based on a preset value, where the preset value is a quota corresponding to sending one satellite short message by the electronic device.
According to the embodiment, after receiving the first sending result sent by the satellite, the electronic device may adjust the first parameter in a timely manner based on the first sending result, thereby ensuring the accuracy of satellite short message communication charging.
In an embodiment, the calibrating the first parameter based on the first calibration result includes: when the first calibration result indicates that the first value is consistent with the second value, determining that the first parameter is accurate; and storing a time at which the first calibration result is received as a target time, or updating a target time stored in the electronic device to a time at which the first calibration result is received, where the target time is a time at which the first parameter is consistent with the second parameter.
According to the embodiment, when the first calibration result indicates that the first value is consistent with the second value, it indicates that the first value is accurate. In this case, the electronic device may update the target time stored in the electronic device to the time at which the first calibration result is received. In this way, when performing quota calibration next time, the electronic device may check a charging operation performed after the target time, to improve quota calibration efficiency.
In an embodiment, the calibrating the first parameter based on the first calibration result includes: when the first calibration result indicates that the first value is inconsistent with the second value, obtaining a message sending record that is between a target time and a current time and that is stored in the electronic device, where the target time is a time at which the first parameter is consistent with the second parameter; sending the message sending record to the server; receiving a second calibration result sent by the server, where the second calibration result is a remaining quota calibration result that is of the satellite short message service of the electronic device and that is determined by the server based on the message sending record and a message receiving record that is stored in the server; and calibrating the first parameter based on the second calibration result.
According to the embodiment, when the first calibration result indicates that the first value is inconsistent with the second value, the electronic device may send the message sending record to the server, so that the server determines the remaining quota of the satellite short message service of the electronic device based on the message sending record stored in the electronic device and the message receiving record stored in the server, thereby ensuring accuracy of calibrating satellite short message communication charging.
In an embodiment, the calibrating the first parameter based on the second calibration result includes: when the second calibration result includes a calibrated remaining quota of the satellite short message service of the electronic device, updating the first parameter based on the second calibration result, and updating the target time to a time at which the second calibration result is received.
According to the embodiment, the electronic device may update the first parameter based on the calibrated remaining quota of the satellite short message service of the electronic device, thereby ensuring that the first parameter is accurate.
In an embodiment, the calibrating the first parameter based on the second calibration result includes: displaying a first prompt message when the second calibration result indicates that the server cannot perform automatic calibration, where the first prompt message is used to prompt a user to apply for manual calibration for the remaining quota of the satellite short message service of the electronic device; sending a request message to the server in response to a second operation, where the request message is used to request the server to allocate manual calibration for the remaining quota of the satellite short message service of the electronic device; receiving a manual calibration result returned by the server, where the manual calibration result includes a calibrated remaining quota of the satellite short message service of the electronic device; and updating the first parameter based on the manual calibration result, and updating the target time to a time at which the second calibration result is received.
According to the embodiment, due to particularity of satellite communication, the server may not complete remaining quota calibration based on the message sending record and the message receiving record. In this case, the second calibration result may indicate that the server cannot perform automatic calibration. The electronic device may remind the user to trigger a request message for manual calibration, and obtain a manual calibration result. This prevents a problem of incorrect deduction caused by an automatic calibration abnormality.
In an embodiment, the method further includes: displaying a second prompt message when the first parameter is less than a preset threshold, where the second prompt message indicates a current remaining quota of the satellite short message service to the user.
According to the embodiment, a user may be prevented from sending satellite messages above a quota, and a waste of satellite resources may be avoided.

According to the embodiment, the server may store a remaining quota (the second parameter) corresponding to the satellite short message service of the electronic device, and update the second parameter in real time based on a status of receiving a satellite short message by the server, so that the server calibrates the remaining quota corresponding to the satellite short message service of the electronic device.
In an embodiment, after the sending the first calibration result to the electronic device, the method further includes: receiving a message sending record sent by the electronic device, where the message sending record is a message sending record that is between a target time and a current time and that is stored in the electronic device, and the target time is a time at which the first parameter is consistent with the second parameter; obtaining a message receiving record between the target time and the current time; and determining a second calibration result based on the message sending record and the message receiving record, and sending the second calibration result to the electronic device.
In an embodiment, the determining a second calibration result based on the message sending record and the message receiving record includes: determining a calibrated remaining quota of the satellite short message service of the electronic device based on the message sending record and the message receiving record; and using the calibrated remaining quota of the satellite short message service of the electronic device as the second calibration result.
According to the embodiment, when the first calibration result indicates that the first value is inconsistent with the second value, the electronic device may send the message sending record to the server, and the server may determine the remaining quota of the satellite short message service of the electronic device based on the message sending record and the message receiving record, thereby ensuring accuracy of calibrating satellite short message communication charging.

According to the embodiment, due to particularity of satellite communication, the server may not complete remaining quota calibration based on the message sending record and the message receiving record. In this case, the second calibration result may indicate that the server cannot perform automatic calibration. The server may allocate, based on the request message sent by the electronic device, the manual calibration for the remaining quota of the satellite short message service of the electronic device, and obtain the manual calibration result.

A BeiDou navigation satellite system (BDS) is a global navigation satellite system, being implemented, independently developed and operated by China. BDS-based short message communication means bidirectional information transmission that can be performed between a BeiDou ground terminal, a BeiDou satellite, and a BeiDou ground information processing center through satellite signals. A BeiDou short message is usually used as a basic transmission unit in BeiDou satellite communication. BeiDou short message communication is a functional characteristic of the BDS. The BeiDou short message communication may provide a communication service in areas (such as uninhabited areas, deserts, oceans, and polar regions) that cannot be covered by a common mobile communication signal or in scenarios (such as earthquake, flood, and typhoon) in which a communication base station is damaged.
An electronic device in which a BDS module is installed may be used as the BeiDou ground terminal. The electronic device may perform emergency communication by sending a BeiDou short message to the BeiDou satellite. The electronic device may be located through the BeiDou short message communication, so that a user learns of where the user is. In addition, information may be sent to the outside through the BeiDou short message communication, to tell others what happened. Therefore, the BeiDou short message communication plays a significant role in fields such as national defense, people's livelihood, and emergency rescue, and is widely used in scenarios such as outdoors, fishery, and disaster rescue.
In a method for target BeiDou short message charging, after the electronic device sends a BeiDou short message to the BeiDou satellite, the BeiDou satellite returns a sending result to the electronic device. The sending result may be a sending success or a sending failure. The electronic device performs fee deduction when determining, based on the received sending result, that the BeiDou short message is successfully sent. However, the BeiDou short message communication is mainly used in a scenario in which a communication status is poor, a satellite signal at a location of the user may be weak, and after sending the BeiDou short message, the electronic device may not be capable of receiving the sending result returned by the BeiDou satellite. Therefore, a problem of inaccurate fee deduction is likely to occur when the electronic device performs BeiDou short message communication charging.

The user sends an SMS message by using a mobile terminal like a mobile phone. Data is recorded when passing through devices such as a switch and a base station, and a charging bill is generated. The operator system summarizes bill information for calculation, and finally generates data in a user bill. However, the implementation can only be applied in a traditional operator network and architecture, highly depends on the network and an operator infrastructure, and is not applicable to charging in the BeiDou short message communication.

In specific implementation, the method for satellite short message communication charging provided in embodiments of this application may be further applied to other satellite short message communication. This is not limited in this application.
In the method for satellite short message communication charging provided in embodiments of this application, a user may trigger a first operation on the electronic device, and the electronic device sends a target satellite short message to the satellite in response to the first operation. After determining that the target satellite short message has been sent, the electronic device performs a pre-fee-deduction operation for a satellite short message service, and updates a first parameter to a first value. The first parameter is a remaining quota that is of the satellite short message service and that is stored in the electronic device. When the electronic device is connected to the communication network, the electronic device may send the first value to the server. The server may determine a first calibration result based on the first value and a second value. The first calibration result indicates whether the first value is consistent with the second value. The second value is a value of a second parameter. The second parameter is a remaining quota that is of the satellite short message service of the electronic device and that is stored in the server. The server sends the first calibration result to the electronic device. The electronic device may calibrate the first parameter based on the first calibration result.
According to the method for satellite short message communication charging provided in embodiments of this application, after sending the target satellite short message to the satellite, the electronic device may perform the pre-fee-deduction operation without waiting for a sending result returned by the satellite. In this way, the electronic device may perform charging in a timely manner, to prevent a problem of incorrect fee deduction in a scenario in which the electronic device cannot receive the sending result. In addition, when the electronic device is connected to the communication network, the electronic device may report, to the server in a timely manner, a latest remaining quota that is of the satellite short message service and that is stored in the electronic device, to calibrate the remaining quota.

It should be noted that the structures shown in
The following describes the method for satellite short message communication charging provided in embodiments of this application.
Block S401: The electronic device enables a satellite short message service.
In embodiments of this application, the electronic device may have a satellite communication module, for example, the satellite communication module 161 in the structure of the electronic device shown in
In an embodiment, a satellite communication application may be installed in the electronic device. The satellite communication application supports communication performed in a satellite short message manner. A user may choose to enable the satellite short message communication service in the satellite communication application of the electronic device. After the electronic device enables the satellite short message service, when the electronic device cannot be connected to a communication network (for example, a wireless local area network or a mobile communication network), the electronic device may perform communication by sending a satellite short message to the satellite.
In addition, in embodiments of this application, the user may alternatively enable the satellite short message service through a system setting interface. A manner of triggering enabling of the satellite short message service is not limited in this application.
Block S402: The electronic device sends a query request to the server.
In an embodiment, the query request may be used to request the server to query a remaining quota of the satellite short message service of the electronic device. The remaining quota of the satellite short message service is a quota that can be used by the electronic device to send the satellite short message. For example, it is assumed that the satellite short message is charged for by quantity. If the remaining quota corresponding to the satellite short message service of the electronic device is 10, it indicates that the electronic device may further send 10 satellite short messages.
Block S403: The server sends the remaining quota of the satellite short message service of the electronic device to the electronic device.
It should be noted that the electronic device may send the query request to the server after the satellite communication application is installed and started for the first time, or may send the query request to the server after a version of the satellite communication application is upgraded and the satellite communication application is started for the first time.
In embodiments of this application, after receiving the remaining quota that is of the satellite short message service and that is sent by the server, the electronic device may store the remaining quota of the satellite short message service as a first parameter. In this way, the electronic device may locally maintain a remaining quota of the satellite short message service, so that the electronic device records a fee deduction status of the satellite short message service.
Block S404: The electronic device sends a target satellite short message to the satellite in response to a first operation.
In an embodiment, the first operation may be a tap operation performed on a send control in a satellite communication application interface. For example,
In some implementations of this application, the electronic device may display, in the satellite communication application, a message, sending of which is triggered by the user, and the user may view the message at any time.
Block S405: The electronic device performs a pre-fee-deduction operation for the satellite short message service, and updates the first parameter to a first value.
The first parameter is a remaining quota that is of the satellite short message service and that is stored in the electronic device.
In embodiments of this application, an environment in which the electronic device performs communication in a satellite short message communication manner may be complex, for example, the electronic device cannot be connected to the communication network like the wireless local area network or the mobile communication network in the environment, and after the electronic device sends the target satellite short message to the satellite, if a satellite signal is weak, the electronic device may not be capable of receiving a sending result that corresponds to the target satellite short message and that is returned by the satellite. Therefore, in embodiments of this application, after determining that the target satellite short message has been sent, the electronic device performs the pre-fee-deduction operation, and updates the first parameter to the first value. In an embodiment, the electronic device may determine, based on a sending result of a protocol layer of the satellite communication application, whether the target satellite short message has been sent.
For example, it is assumed that the first parameter obtained before the electronic device sends the target satellite short message is 10. After determining that the target satellite short message has been sent and the first value is 9, the electronic device updates the first parameter to 9. According to the implementation, the electronic device may perform satellite short message communication charging in a timely manner, to prevent a problem of incorrect fee deduction in a scenario in which the electronic device cannot receive the sending result.
In an embodiment, after sending the target satellite short message to the satellite, the electronic device may locally store a sending record of the target satellite short message for subsequent use in performing remaining quota calibration.
In a possible scenario, after performing the pre-fee-deduction operation and updating the first parameter to the first value, the electronic device receives a first sending result sent by the satellite. The first sending result indicates whether the target satellite short message is successfully sent. If the first sending result indicates that the target satellite short message is successfully sent, the electronic device may determine that the pre-fee-deduction operation is accurate, and the first parameter does not need to be adjusted. If the first sending result indicates that the target satellite short message fails to be sent, the electronic device may cancel the pre-fee-deduction operation, and update the first parameter based on a preset value. The preset value is a quota corresponding to sending one satellite short message by the electronic device. For example, it is assumed that the first parameter is 9, and the preset value is 1. After canceling the pre-fee-deduction operation, the electronic device may update the first parameter to 10. According to the implementation, after receiving the first sending result sent by the satellite, the electronic device may adjust the first parameter in a timely manner based on the first sending result, thereby ensuring accuracy of satellite short message communication charging.
Block S406: The satellite sends the target satellite short message to the server.
Block S407: The server updates a second parameter based on the preset value.
The second parameter is a remaining quota that is of the satellite short message service of the electronic device and that is stored in the server.
In embodiments of this application, when the electronic device cannot be connected to the communication network, the electronic device communicates with the server by using the satellite. In this case, the electronic device and the server may separately store a remaining quota corresponding to the satellite short message service of the electronic device. For example, the electronic device may store the first parameter, and the server may include the second parameter. As described in S405, the electronic device may update the first parameter to the first value after determining that the target satellite short message has been sent; and the server may update the second parameter based on the preset value after receiving the target satellite short message sent by the satellite. For example, it is assumed that the second parameter stored in the server is 10, and the preset value is 1. After the server receives the target satellite short message, the server may update the second parameter to 9. According to the implementation, even when a network is unavailable, the electronic device and the server may separately store a remaining quota of the satellite short message service of the electronic device for subsequent calibration, thereby ensuring the accuracy of satellite short message communication charging.
In an embodiment, the server may store a receiving record of the target satellite short message in the server for subsequent use in performing quota calibration.
Block S408: When the electronic device is connected to the communication network, the electronic device sends the first value to the server.
In an optional implementation, when the electronic device is connected to the communication network, for example, the electronic device is connected to the wireless local area network or the mobile communication network, the first value may be sent to the server, to calibrate the remaining quota of the satellite short message service of the electronic device.
Block S409: The server determines a first calibration result based on the first value and a second value.
The second value is a value of the second parameter.
In an optional implementation, the server may determine whether the first value is consistent with the second value, to determine the first calibration result. The first calibration result may indicate that the first value is consistent with or inconsistent with the second value.
Block S410: The server sends the first calibration result to the electronic device.
Block S411: The electronic device determines, based on the first calibration result, whether the first value is consistent with the second value. If the first value is consistent with the second value, S412 is performed. If the first value is inconsistent with the second value, S413 is performed.
Block S412: The electronic device uses a time at which the first calibration result is received as a target time.
When the first calibration result indicates that the first value is consistent with the second value, the electronic device may determine that the first parameter is accurate, and the electronic device does not need to adjust the first parameter. In this case, the electronic device may use the time at which the first calibration result is received as the target time. The target time is a time at which the electronic device last determines that the first parameter is consistent with the second parameter. Each time the electronic device determines that the first parameter is consistent with the second parameter, the electronic device may update the target time once, so that when performing quota calibration next time, the electronic device may check a charging operation performed after the target time, to improve quota calibration efficiency. In an embodiment, the electronic device may mark a message sending record that is obtained before a target time stored in the electronic device as a reconciliation-completed state.
Block S413: The electronic device obtains a message sending record that is between the target time and a current time and that is stored in the electronic device.
When the first calibration result indicates that the first value is inconsistent with the second value, it indicates that the first parameter has an error or the second parameter has an error. The electronic device may obtain the target time. The target time is a time stored after the electronic device completes remaining quota calibration last time. The electronic device may obtain the message sending record between the target time and the current time. The message sending record in the time period is in a reconciliation-unperformed state, and the electronic device may send the message sending record in the time period to the server, so that the server calibrates the remaining quota based on the message sending record.
Block S414: The electronic device sends the message sending record to the server.
Block S415: The server obtains a message receiving record between a target time and the current time, and determines a second calibration result based on the message sending record and the message receiving record.
In an optional implementation, each time the server receives a message sent by the satellite, the server may store a message receiving record. After receiving the message sending record sent by the electronic device, the server may obtain a message receiving record that is between a target time and the current time and that is stored in the server, and the server may check the message sending record with the message receiving record, to determine the second calibration result. The second calibration result may include a calibrated remaining quota of the satellite short message service of the electronic device. It should be noted that, due to particularity of satellite communication, the server may not complete remaining quota calibration based on the message sending record and the message receiving record. In this case, the second calibration result may indicate that the server cannot perform automatic calibration.
Block S416: The server sends the second calibration result to the electronic device.
Block S417: The electronic device determines whether the second calibration result includes the calibrated remaining quota corresponding to the satellite short message service of the electronic device. If the second calibration result includes the calibrated remaining quota corresponding to the satellite short message service of the electronic device, S418 is performed. If the second calibration result does not include the calibrated remaining quota corresponding to the satellite short message service of the electronic device, S419 is performed.
Block S418: The electronic device updates the first parameter based on the second calibration result, and uses a time at which the second calibration result is received as the target time.
When the second calibration result includes the calibrated remaining quota of the satellite short message service of the electronic device, the electronic device may update the first parameter based on the second calibration result, for example, update the first parameter to a value of the calibrated remaining quota in the second calibration result. The electronic device may further use the time at which the second calibration result is received as the target time, and mark a message sending record obtained before the time at which the second calibration result is received as the reconciliation-completed state.
Block S419: The electronic device displays a first prompt message.
When the second calibration result indicates that the server cannot perform automatic calibration, the electronic device may display the first prompt message in the satellite communication application. The first prompt message is used to prompt the user to apply for manual calibration for the remaining quota of the satellite short message service.
For example,
Block S420: The electronic device sends a request message to the server in response to a second operation.
For example, the second operation triggered by the user may be an operation performed on a quota calibration control in the satellite communication application interface. Refer to
The electronic device sends the request information to the server in response to the second operation. The request message is used to request the server to allocate manual calibration.
Block S421: The server obtains a manual calibration result.
After receiving the request message sent by the electronic device, the server may allocate the manual calibration, and obtain the manual calibration result.
Block S422: The server sends the manual calibration result to the electronic device.
Block S423: The electronic device updates the first parameter based on the manual calibration result, and uses a time at which the manual calibration result is received as the target time.
In an optional implementation, the electronic device may update the first parameter based on the manual calibration result, for example, update the first parameter to a value of the remaining quota of the satellite short message service of the electronic device in the manual calibration result. The electronic device may further use the time at which the manual calibration result is received as a target time, and mark a message sending record obtained before the time at which the manual calibration result is received as the reconciliation-completed state.
It should be noted that, in another implementation of embodiments of this application, S408 to S410 may alternatively be that the server sends the second value to the electronic device, and the electronic device determines whether the first value is consistent with the second value. Similarly, S413 to S417 may alternatively be that the electronic device sends the target time to the server, the server sends a message receiving record that is between a target time and a current time and that is stored in the server to the electronic device, and the electronic device determines a second calibration result based on the received message receiving record and a message sending record that is between the target time and the current time and that is stored in the electronic device. In specific implementation, the foregoing implementation may be flexibly combined with the implementation shown in
In some scenarios of this application, the electronic device further supports querying the remaining quota of the satellite short message service of the electronic device.
In an embodiment, when determining that the first parameter is less than a preset quota, the electronic device may further display a second prompt message. The second prompt message indicates a current remaining quota of the satellite short message service to the user. For example,
In an embodiment, when the first parameter is 0, the remaining quota of the satellite short message service is insufficient, and the electronic device cannot send a message. In this case, if the user triggers the first operation, the electronic device may further display a third prompt message. The third prompt message is used to inform the user that the message fails to be sent.
Based on the foregoing embodiments, this application further provides a method for calibrating satellite short message communication charging. The method may be performed by the electronic device, the satellite, and the server in the system shown in
Block S1101: The electronic device sends a target satellite short message to the satellite in response to a first operation.
Block S1102: The electronic device performs a pre-fee-deduction operation for a satellite short message service, and updates a first parameter to a first value.
The first parameter is a remaining quota that is of the satellite short message service and that is stored in the electronic device.
Block S1103: When the electronic device is connected to a communication network, the electronic device sends the first value to the server.
Block S1104: The server determines a first calibration result based on the first value and a second value.
The first calibration result indicates whether the first value is consistent with the second value. The second value is a value of a second parameter. The second parameter is a remaining quota that is of the satellite short message service of the electronic device and that is stored in the server.
Block S1105: The server sends the first calibration result to the electronic device.
Block S1106: The electronic device calibrates the first parameter based on the first calibration result.
In an optional implementation, after sending the target satellite short message in S1101, the electronic device stores a sending record of the target satellite short message.
In an optional implementation, after updating the first parameter to the first value in S1102, the electronic device receives a first sending result sent by the satellite, where the first sending result indicates that the target satellite short message fails to be sent. The electronic device cancels the pre-fee-deduction operation, and updates the first parameter again based on a preset value. The preset value is a quota corresponding to sending one satellite short message by the electronic device.
In an optional implementation, when the electronic device calibrates the first parameter based on the first calibration result in S1106, and the first calibration result indicates that the first value is consistent with the second value, the electronic device determines that the first parameter is accurate. A time at which the first calibration result is received is stored as a target time, or a target time stored in the electronic device is updated to the time at which the first calibration result is received. The target time is a time at which the electronic device last determines that the first parameter is consistent with the second parameter.
In another optional implementation, when the electronic device calibrates the first parameter based on the first calibration result in S1106, and the first calibration result indicates that the first value is inconsistent with the second value, the electronic device obtains a message sending record that is between a target time and a current time and that is stored in the electronic device. The target time is a time at which the remaining quota that is of the satellite short message service and that is stored in the electronic device is consistent with the remaining quota that is of the satellite short message service of the electronic device and that is stored in the server. The electronic device sends the message sending record to the server. The electronic device receives a second calibration result sent by the server. The second calibration result is a remaining quota calibration result that is of the satellite short message service of the electronic device and that is determined by the server based on the message sending record and a message receiving record stored in the server. The electronic device calibrates the first parameter based on the second calibration result.
In an optional implementation, when the electronic device calibrates the first parameter based on the second calibration result, and the second calibration result includes a calibrated remaining quota of the satellite short message service of the electronic device, the electronic device updates the first parameter based on the second calibration result, and updates the target time to a time at which the second calibration result is received.
In an optional implementation, when the electronic device calibrates the first parameter based on the second calibration result, and the second calibration result indicates that the server cannot perform automatic calibration, the electronic device displays a first prompt message. The first prompt message is used to prompt a user to apply for manual calibration for the remaining quota of the satellite short message service of the electronic device. The electronic device sends a request message to the server in response to a second operation. The request message is used to request the server to allocate manual calibration for the remaining quota of the satellite short message service of the electronic device. The electronic device receives a manual calibration result returned by the server. The manual calibration result includes the calibrated remaining quota of the satellite short message service of the electronic device. The electronic device updates the first parameter based on the manual calibration result, and updates the target time to the time at which the second calibration result is received.
In an optional implementation, when the first parameter is less than a preset threshold, the electronic device displays a second prompt message. The second prompt message indicates a current remaining quota of the satellite short message service to the user.
