Through the implementation mode, whether the docking station module is accessed is detected; secondly, when the fact that the docking station module is accessed is detected, starting a preset application interface; detecting operation acting on the preset application interface, and determining type information of the docking station module based on the operation; and finally, starting a corresponding driver program to drive the docking station module based on the type information, so that when the docking station module is detected to be accessed, the operation acting on the preset application interface can be detected to determine the type information of the docking station module, and the corresponding driver program is started to drive the docking station module based on the type information, so that the additional frequency band corresponding to the docking station module is supported in a expanding mode.

The above steps will be specifically described with reference to specific embodiments.

In step S310, it is detected whether the docking station module is accessed.

In this embodiment, the detection pin may be a GPIO pin. The mobile terminal 100 may detect whether to access the docking station module through the detection pin.

In step S330, when it is detected that the docking station module has been accessed, a preset application interface is opened.

In this embodiment, the full-band communication method further includes:

In step S3301, when the detection pin is detected to be at a low potential, it is determined that the docking station module has been accessed.

In this embodiment, when the detection pin is detected to be at a high potential, the mobile terminal 100 determines that the docking station module is not connected. When the detection pin is detected to be low, namely grounded, the mobile terminal 100 determines that the docking station module is accessed.

In this embodiment, the preset application interface may include a plurality of icon buttons, each of which may be paired with one type of docking module, and the number of the icon buttons may be the same as the type of the docking module. For example, when the docking modules include two types, the icon buttons may also include two types, the first icon button may correspond to the first type docking module, i.e., the U.S. T-mobile docking module, and the second icon button may correspond to the second type docking module, i.e., the japan softbank docking module.

In this embodiment, when the detection pin is detected to be at a low potential, the mobile terminal 100 may determine that the docking module has been accessed, open the preset application interface, and detect an operation acting on the preset application interface, and determine type information of the docking module based on the operation.

When the detection pin is detected to be at a low potential, the mobile terminal 100 can determine that the docking station module is accessed, and start a driving program corresponding to a first radio frequency front-end circuit of the docking station module so as to drive the first radio frequency front-end circuit, so that the docking station module works, and the extension support of foreign frequency bands is realized.

For example, after detecting that the detection pin is at a low voltage and determining that the type information is of the us T-mobile type, the mobile terminal 100 may start a driver corresponding to the first rf front-end circuit based on the us T-mobile type to drive the first rf front-end circuit, so that the us T-mobile docking module works, thereby realizing expansion supporting of the us frequency band.

In this embodiment, the mobile terminal 100 includes a second radio frequency front-end circuit, and the full-band communication method further includes:
