Detailed Description

The terms "first," "second," and the like in the description and claims of the present invention and in the above-described drawings are used for distinguishing between different objects and not for describing a particular order. Furthermore, the terms "include" and "have," as well as any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, system, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of steps or elements is not limited to only those steps or elements listed, but may alternatively include other steps or elements not listed, or inherent to such process, method, or apparatus.

A Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) is a very convenient data transmission system, which uses Radio Frequency (RF) technology to replace the old lan formed by twisted copper (coax) wires, which obstruct the hands and feet, and performs communication connection in the air, so that the WLAN can use a simple access structure to allow users to pass through the WLAN, thereby achieving an ideal situation of "information portability and convenience for walking down the sky". WiFi is a trademark of WLAN, and as one of basic functions of a mobile terminal, the frequency of people using WiFi is very high, and almost all applications (such as WeChat, microblog, QQ, etc.) do more background operations in the WiFi network than in the cellular network environment, for example, in the WiFi network, some news applications may preload more video data, etc., so that the power consumption of the mobile terminal in the WiFi network is larger. It is to be understood that embodiments of the present invention are not limited to use in WiFi networks.

Based on this, the embodiment of the invention provides a power consumption control method and a mobile terminal, which can reduce the power consumption of the mobile terminal and improve the cruising ability of the mobile terminal. The following are detailed below.

As shown in fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic flow chart of a power consumption control method according to an embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 1, the power consumption control method includes the following steps.

101. After the mobile terminal is connected to the wireless local area network, the target network request type and the target data volume are determined.

In this embodiment of the present invention, the target network request type is a type of a network request that the mobile terminal allows a target application to be loaded, and the target data volume is a data volume corresponding to the target network request type.

In this embodiment of the present invention, the target network request type may include at least one of a video type, a picture type, and a text type. The target data amount may include a data amount used for loading the target network request type, for example, if the target network request type determined by the mobile terminal is a video type and the target data amount is 500M, it indicates that the network request type allowed to be loaded by the target application by the mobile terminal is the video type, and the data amount corresponding to the video type allowed to be loaded by the target application is 500M.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the Mobile terminal may include a Mobile phone, a tablet computer, a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), a Mobile Internet Device (MID), an intelligent wearable Device (such as a smart watch and a smart bracelet), and the like, which are not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

As an optional implementation manner, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a method for determining a target network request type and a target data volume, where the determining the target network request type and the target data volume includes:

alternatively, the first and second electrodes may be,

In this embodiment, for example, as shown in fig. 2A, the target application loads four network requests in a first preset time period, which are a first network request, a second network request, a third network request, and a fourth network request in sequence. The type of the first network request is a picture type, and the data volume is 10M; the type of the second network request is a video type, and the data volume is 500M; the type of the third network request is a character type, and the data volume is 2M; the type of the fourth network request is a video type 200M, and therefore, the number corresponding to the video type is two, and the number corresponding to the picture type and the text type is one, so that the video type, the picture type and the text type are in sequence from high to low, or the video type, the text type and the picture type are in sequence, the video type may be set as a target network request type, the video type and the picture type may also be set as a target network request type, and it can be understood that, in this embodiment, specific determination of several target network request types in sequence from high to low is not limited, one target network request type may be determined in sequence from high to low, two target network request types may also be determined, and the like.

In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 2B, fig. 2B is a fixed correspondence diagram between network request types and data volumes according to an embodiment of the present invention. An embodiment of the present invention further provides a corresponding relationship between a network request type and a data amount, taking fig. 2A as an example, if a target network request type is a video type, and a data amount corresponding to the video type is 700M, it may be determined that the target data amount is 700M, or 1.5 times, 2 times, and the like of 700. The embodiment of the present invention is not limited to how to determine the correspondence between the network request type and the data amount.

In this embodiment, still taking fig. 2A as an example, if the data volumes corresponding to the network request types loaded by the target application are, in order from high to low, a video type 700M, a picture type 10M, and a text type 2M, it may be determined that the target network request types are video types, or video types and picture types, or video types, picture types, and text types, and the like, and it is not limited to specifically determine several target network request types in order from high to low.

In this embodiment, the correspondence between the network request type and the data size is consistent with the method described above, and is not described herein again.

It can be understood that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the first preset time period and the second preset time period are set to enable the mobile terminal to more accurately determine the network usage situation of the target application, so as to determine the target network request type and the target data amount, where the first preset time period may be the same as the second preset time period, and the first preset time period may also be different from the second preset time period, and the like.

It is understood that, in this embodiment, the target network request type and the target data amount may be a target network request type and a target data amount within a predetermined time, such as a target network request type within 60 seconds determined by the mobile terminal and a target data amount within the 60 seconds. The embodiment is not limited as to how much the specific time is.

According to the embodiment, the mobile terminal determines the target network request type and the target data volume according to the condition that the target application uses the network within the first preset time period or the second preset time period, so that the mobile terminal can know the condition that the target application uses the network more accurately, and the accuracy of determining the target network request type and the target data volume is improved.

102. And entering a low power consumption mode under the condition that the type of the network request initiated by the target application is determined not to accord with the type of the target network request, or under the condition that the type of the network request initiated by the target application is determined to accord with the type of the target network request and not accord with the target data volume.

In the embodiment of the invention, the target application comprises an application in the mobile terminal, the type of the network request initiated by the target application does not conform to the type of the target network request, for example, the type of the target network request is a video type, and if the type of the network request initiated by the target application is a picture type, the type of the network request initiated by the target application is the type of the network request which does not conform to the target network request. It should be understood that the type of the target network request may be one type, may also be two types, and the like, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the type of the network request initiated by the target application conforms to the type of the target network request, and does not conform to the target data volume, for example, the type of the target network request is a video type, the data volume corresponding to the video type is 500M, and one network request initiated by the target application is a video type, but the data volume requested by the network request is 1G, in this case, the mobile terminal enters the low power consumption mode. For another example, the type of the target network request is a video type, the target data volume is 500M, the target application initiates two network requests in sequence, the types of the two network requests are both video types, and the data volumes are 400M and 300M in sequence, so that it can be seen that the type of the network request initiated first conforms to the type of the target network request, and the data volume of the network request initiated first also conforms to the target data volume, and although the type of the network request initiated later conforms to the type of the target network request, the network request initiated first occupies the data volume of 400M, so that the mobile terminal enters the low power consumption mode in this case. For another example, the type of the target network request is a video type, the target data volume is 500M, the target application initiates two network requests in sequence, the two network requests are both video types, and the data volumes are 400M and 50M in sequence, so that it can be seen that the type of the network request initiated first conforms to the type of the target network request, the data volume of the network request initiated first also conforms to the target data volume, the type of the network request initiated later conforms to the type of the target network request, and the data volume of the network request initiated later also conforms to the target data volume, so that the situation does not belong to the situation that the mobile terminal enters the low power consumption mode.

By implementing the embodiment, the power consumption of the mobile terminal can be effectively reduced and the cruising ability of the mobile terminal is improved by entering the low power consumption mode.

In this embodiment of the present invention, the low power consumption mode may be a power saving mode in the mobile terminal, or a low power mode in the mobile terminal, and optionally, a low power consumption mode is further provided in this embodiment of the present invention, where entering the low power consumption mode includes:

and under the condition that the mobile terminal is in the wireless local area network, setting the network type perceived by the mobile terminal as a cellular network.

By setting the network type perceived by the mobile terminal as a cellular network, the network requests initiated by the target application can be effectively reduced, thereby reducing the power consumption of the mobile terminal.

For example, in a WiFi network, when a user opens a microblog application, the microblog application may preload a lot of videos, pictures, or the like, and therefore, the mobile terminal may effectively reduce a network request initiated by the microblog application by determining a target network request type, such as a video type and a target data volume, and setting a network type perceived by the mobile terminal as a cellular network if the video data volume preloaded by the microblog application exceeds the target data volume.

As an optional implementation manner, the method further includes:

and after the network type perceived by the mobile terminal is set as a cellular network for a preset time, setting the network type perceived by the mobile terminal as a wireless local area network.

In this embodiment, the predetermined time may be 30 seconds, or 60 seconds, and the like, and it may be understood that the predetermined time is a time when the network type perceived by the mobile terminal is a cellular network, and the predetermined time may be determined by a user, or may be determined by a system, and the like, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited.

By implementing the embodiment, the power consumption of the mobile terminal can be reduced, the normal network request under the wireless local area network can be realized, and the user experience is improved.

After entering the low power consumption mode, the method further includes:

detecting the current residual electric quantity of the mobile terminal;

In this embodiment, the first preset threshold and the second preset threshold may be the same or different. The current remaining capacity of the mobile terminal, that is, the remaining capacity of the mobile terminal when the network type perceived by the mobile terminal is set to the cellular network, is detected.

In this embodiment, after the network type perceived by the mobile terminal is set as the cellular network, a prompt message may also be sent, where the prompt message indicates that the network type perceived by the mobile terminal is the cellular network, and more specifically, the prompt message may be a text prompt message or an icon prompt message, and the like, which is not limited in this embodiment.

In this embodiment, the mobile terminal receives a trigger instruction input by a user, where the trigger instruction may be an instruction of a network request initiated by the user through a target application, and the trigger instruction may also be an instruction for setting a wireless local area network perceived by the mobile terminal and the like input by the user.

In this embodiment, the network type perceived by the mobile terminal is continuously set as the cellular network when the remaining power is less than the second preset threshold, and the network type perceived by the mobile terminal is set as the wireless local area network until the mobile terminal is detected to enter the charging state. For example, the second preset threshold is 10%, and if the remaining power of the mobile terminal is 8% when the network type perceived by the mobile terminal is set as the cellular network, the network type perceived by the mobile terminal is continuously set as the cellular network until the mobile terminal is detected to enter the charging state, and the network type perceived by the mobile terminal is set as the wireless local area network.

By implementing the embodiment, under the condition that user experience is not influenced, the power consumption of the mobile terminal can be effectively reduced, and therefore the cruising ability of the mobile terminal is improved.

Alternatively, the touch panel 830 may include two parts, a touch detection device and a touch controller. The touch detection device detects the touch direction of a user, detects a signal brought by touch operation and transmits the signal to the touch controller; the touch controller receives touch information from the touch sensing device, converts it to touch point coordinates, and sends the touch point coordinates to the processor 880, and can receive and execute commands from the processor 880. In addition, the touch panel 830 may be implemented by various types, such as resistive, capacitive, infrared, and surface acoustic wave. The input unit 830 may include other input devices 832 in addition to the touch panel 830. In particular, other input devices 832 may include, but are not limited to, one or more of a physical keyboard, function keys (such as volume control keys, switch keys, etc.), a trackball, a mouse, a joystick, and the like.
