The disclosure will become more fully understood from the detailed description given herein below for illustration only, and thus not limitative of the disclosure, wherein:
Referring to
In some embodiments, the method for reporting the relevant data of the repeater according to any embodiment is realized by a computer program product including a program. As the computer (i.e., the electrical device 20) loads and executes the program, the program can cause the computer to perform the method for reporting the relevant data of the repeater of any embodiment. In some embodiments, the computer program product is a readable record medium, and the program is stored in the record readable medium for being loaded by the electrical device 20. In some embodiments, the program per se (i.e., the program itself) is the computer program product, and the program is transmitted to the electrical device 20 wirelessly or wiredly.
The electrical device 20 includes a control unit 210, a testing module 220, an image-capturing module 230, a network module 240, a user-interface, and a storage unit 260. In some embodiments, the user-interface is a touch-control screen, a combination of a typical screen and multiple physical buttons, or a combination of a touch-control screen and multiple physical buttons. The multiple physical buttons can be implemented by a keyboard, a mouse, or combination thereof. For the sake of convenience, in the followings, a touch-control screen 250 is used as an example of the user-interface. The control unit 210 is connected to the testing module 220, the image-capturing module 230, the network module 240, the screen 250 (the user-interface), and the storage unit 260.
In some embodiments, the above-mentioned program is an App (software application). The control unit 210 executes the installation procedure of the App, stores the App in the storage unit 260, and displays the icon B11 corresponding to the App on the screen 250, as shown in
In some embodiments, as the icon B11 is tapped (clicked), the control unit 210 executes the App to provide a photographing-enabling button B12 on the screen 250, as shown in
As the photographing-enabling button B12 is tapped, the photographing-enabling button B12 generates a photographing-enabling signal. At this time, the control unit 210 receives the photographing-enabling signal representing the photographing-enabling button B12 being tapped (step S13).
In some embodiments, as the icon B11 is tapped, the control unit 210 executes the App and receives the photographing-enabling signal through the execution of the App (step S13).
In some embodiments, the control unit 210 connects to the repeater 10 via the network module 240 by the execution of the App (step S11), as shown in
In some embodiments, the control unit 210, through the execution of the App, provides a connection test procedure. In other words, the control unit 210 performs the connection test procedure regarding to a network communication supported by the repeater 10. In some embodiments, the connection test includes, but not limited, the connection test of control parameters of the repeater 10, the connection test of the network communication of the electrical device 20 within the network service range of the repeater 10, the connection test between the electrical device 20 and surrounding signals within the network service range of the repeater 10, or any of the combinations thereof.
Within the coverage range supported by the repeater 10, the control unit 210, according to the photographing-enabling signal, activates the testing module 220 to execute a connection test of related network service of the repeater 10 according to the connection test procedure. In other words, the testing module 220, according to the photographing-enabling signal, executes a connection test of the repeater 10 (step S15).
In addition, the control unit 210, according to the photographing-enabling signal, activates the image-capturing module 230 (step S17).
After the activation of the image-capturing module 230, the control unit 210 commands the screen 250 to simultaneously display at least one measured data DT of the connection test of related network service of the repeater 10 and a scene image IM imaged by the image-capturing module 230 (step S19), as shown in
In some embodiments, the screen 250 displays the measured data DT onto the scene image IM overlappingly, as shown in
In some embodiments, as shown in
In some embodiments, the communication network may be CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access), GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications), WCDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access), HSUPA (High Speed Uplink Packet Access), HSDPA (High-Speed Downlink Packet Access), WiMax (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access), LTE (Long Term Evolution), 3GPP LTE (3rd Generation Partnership Project LTE), UMB (Ultra Mobile Broadband) or LTE-A (LTE Advanced).
In some embodiments, the measured data might be Cell ID, RX (GSM RX-level, 2G signal strength), LAC (Location Area Code), MCC (Mobile Country Code), MNC (Mobile Network Code), RS SI (Received Signal Strength Indication), RSCP (Received Signal Code Power), ado (Effect Energy/Total Energy and Noise), PSC (Primary Scrambling Code), RNC (Radio Network Controller), RSRQ (Reference Signal Receiving Quality), RSRP (Reference Signal Receiving Power), SINR (Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio), ECI (E-UTRAN Cell Identifier), eNBID (eNodeB Identifier), LCI (Logical Channel Identity), PCI (Physical Layer Cell Identity), TAC (Tracking Area Code), Throughput, measurement angle or any combinations thereof.
In some embodiments, the measured data are displayed on the screen 250 immediately. In other words, the measured data shown by the screen 250 are the measured data in real time as App is executed.
As the preview picture (i.e., the measured data and the scene image) is displayed on the screen 250, the control unit 210 at the same time provides an image retrieval button B13 on the screen 250, as shown in
As the image retrieval button B13 is tapped, the control unit 210 receives an image-generating signal representing the image retrieval button B13 is tapped (step S21). Next, according to the image-generating signal, the control unit 210 outputs the combined image having the measured data and the scene image (step S23). For instance, the control unit 210, in response to the image retrieval button B13, combines the measured data and scene image to produce the combined image and stores the combined image into the storage unit 260. In other words, the control unit 210 generates a combined image identical to the preview picture shown on the screen 250 and stores the combined image into the storage unit 260. As a result, the user can send the combined image as a testing report back to his/her organization (company).
In some embodiments, the storage unit 260 stores a report template.

In some embodiments, in addition to the connection test procedure, the App also has a parameter setup procedure executed by the control unit 210. Referring to
In some embodiments, after the control unit 210 executes the App, the control unit 210 provides a monitoring option. Referring to
In some embodiments, the parameter setup page may have items of controls, monitor, alarms, or any of the combinations thereof.
In some embodiments, the repeater 10 may be a fiber repeater, an interference cancellation system (ICS) repeater, or variable band repeater.
For instance of the fiber repeater, the setup module 270 provides the parameter setup page P1 as shown in
For instance of the ICS repeater, the setup module 270 provides the parameter setup page P2 as shown in
For instance of the variable band repeater, the setup module 270 provides the parameter setup page P3 as shown in
After the items in the parameter setup page have been set up, the setup module 270 outputs the setup parameters of the parameter setup page and stores them in the storage unit 260 (step S05).
In some embodiments, as the parameter setup page has multiple setup items, the setup module 270 can provide the setup items in sequence according to the different setup pages. In other words, the parameter setup page includes multiple sub-setup pages.
Taking the situation of the parameter setup page having Controls, Monitor and Alarms parameters as an example, the setup module 270 may provide the sub-setup pages of items of Controls firstly. After the setup of items of Controls have been completed (i.e., the option box in sub-setup pages of items of Controls has been ticked), the setup module 270 provides the sub-setup pages of items of Monitor. After the setup of items of Monitor have been completed (i.e., the option box in sub-setup pages of items of Monitor has been ticked), the setup module 270 provides the sub-setup pages of items of Alarms. After the setup of items of Alarm have been completed (i.e., the option box in sub-setup pages of items of Alarms has been ticked), the setup module 270 outputs all setup parameters ticked and stores them in the storage unit 260.
In some embodiments, as the setup parameters are outputted, the control unit 210 reads the report template from the storage unit 260 (step S07) and inserts the outputted setup parameters into corresponding locations of the report template to generate a report file (step S09). Then, the control unit 210 stores the generated report file to the storage unit 260. In other words, before the testing module 22 executes the connection test of network service related to the repeater 10, the control unit 210 already generates the report file and stores it in the storage unit 260.
In some embodiments, as the user intends to execute the connection test of network service related to the repeater 10, the control unit 210 reads the report file from the storage unit 260, and provides a photographing-enabling button B12, as shown in
In some embodiments, in addition to simultaneously showing the measured data DT and scene image IM, the screen 250 also displays the device data of the electrical device 20 (not shown) along with the measured data DT and the scene image IM at the same time. Under this scenario, the generated combined image includes the measured data DT, the device data, and the scene image IM. In addition, the measured data DT and the device data are laid over the scene image IM. The device data may be, but not limited to, device name, time, etc.
In some embodiments, the electrical device 20 may be, for instance, smart phone, Personal Navigation Device (PND), Digital Photo Frame (DPF), e-book, notebook, Tablet or Pad, or other hand-held devices.
In some embodiments, the functions of control unit 210 and the testing module 220 (and the setup module 270) can be realized by one or more processor units.
In some embodiments, the processor unit may be a microprocessor, a microcontroller, a digital signal processor, a micro-computer, a central processor unit, a Field Programmable Gate Array, a programmable logic device, a state machine, a logical circuitry, an analog circuit, a digital circuit, and/or any devices capable of manipulating signals (digital and/or analog) based on operating instructions.
In some embodiments, the storage unit may be ROM, RAM, Volatile Memory, Non-volatile Memory, SRAM, DRAM, Flash RAM, and/or any device capable of storing digital information.
In summary, according the embodiments, the method for reporting relevant data of the repeater, the computer-readable recording medium using the same, and the electrical device using the same can be applied to test the repeater and combine the test data with the scene image to ensure the truth of the testing report.
