Detailed Description

The term "and/or" herein is merely an association describing an associated object, meaning that three relationships may exist, e.g., a and/or B, may mean: a exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone.

The terms "first" and "second," and the like, in the description and in the claims of embodiments of the present invention are used for distinguishing between different objects and not for describing a particular order of the objects. For example, a first interface and a second interface, etc. are used to distinguish between different interfaces, rather than to describe a particular order of interfaces.

In the embodiments of the present invention, words such as "exemplary" or "for example" are used to mean serving as examples, illustrations or descriptions. Any embodiment or design described as "exemplary" or "e.g.," an embodiment of the present invention is not necessarily to be construed as preferred or advantageous over other embodiments or designs. Rather, use of the word "exemplary" or "such as" is intended to present concepts related in a concrete fashion.

In the description of the embodiments of the present invention, the meaning of "a plurality" means two or more unless otherwise specified. For example, a plurality of processing units refers to two or more processing units; the plurality of systems refers to two or more systems.

First, some concepts related to a power saving management method, a graphical user interface, and a terminal provided in an embodiment of the present invention are explained.

Reflection quality of service (RQoS, English full: reflective quality of service): the terminal device generates a quality of service (QoS) rule for QoS control according to downlink data, where the QoS rule is used for the terminal to transmit uplink data.

In the embodiment of the present invention, in a process of establishing a session, a terminal may report, to a core network device, an RQoS capability supported by the terminal, so that when the terminal receives a downlink data packet, the terminal analyzes the data packet (specifically, a header (i.e., an SDAP header) of a Service Data Adaptation Protocol (SDAP)), obtains a Reflective QoS Indication (RQI) field, and then determines whether to generate an uplink QoS rule (i.e., a QoS rule for transmitting uplink data) according to a value of the RQI. When the terminal supports the RQoS capability, the terminal needs to generate an uplink QoS rule according to the value of the RQI; when the terminal does not support the RQoS capability, the terminal cannot generate an uplink QoS rule, and the core network equipment directly sends the uplink QoS rule to the terminal.

Calling only initiated connection (MICRO, English full name: mobile initiated connection only) mode: the terminal activates the MICO function through the core network, and then does not monitor the paging message any more, and the terminal can only initiate a call actively. Illustratively, when the first terminal starts the MICO function and the second terminal initiates a call to the first terminal, the first terminal starts the MICO function, the core network does not page the first terminal any more and the first terminal does not monitor the paging message any more.

In an application scenario, whether to perform power saving management on a terminal may be determined according to a battery power of the terminal, and when the battery power of the terminal is relatively low (for example, the battery power of the terminal is smaller than a preset power threshold (which may be referred to as a second power threshold), the preset power threshold may also be a percentage of the battery power of the terminal, for example, 20% or 10%), power saving management needs to be performed on the terminal, specifically including performing at least one of the RQoS capability of the terminal and the MICO function of the terminal.

In another application scenario, whether to perform power saving management on the terminal may be determined according to a battery mode of the terminal, and when the terminal is in the power saving mode, further power saving management needs to be performed on the terminal, specifically including performing at least one of the above-mentioned RQoS capability of closing the terminal and the above-mentioned MICO function of opening the terminal.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the first electric quantity threshold and the second electric quantity threshold may be the same or different, and the embodiment of the present invention is not particularly limited.

According to the power saving management method provided by the embodiment of the invention, the terminal can acquire the battery state information of the terminal, and whether the terminal meets the power saving management condition is determined according to the battery state information of the terminal, if the terminal meets the power saving management condition, the RQoS capability of the terminal is closed or the MICO function of the terminal is opened, or the RQoS capability of the terminal is closed and the MICO function of the terminal is opened, because the RQoS rule is not generated by the terminal according to downlink data after the RQoS capability of the terminal is closed, and the paging message is not monitored by the terminal after the MICO function of the terminal is opened, the power saving performance of the terminal can be obviously improved.

As can be known from the above description of the terminal provided in the embodiment of the present invention, the terminal includes an application processor and a modem, and in the power saving management method provided in the embodiment of the present invention, the power saving management process of the terminal is completed by the application processor and the modem of the terminal interacting with a device on the core network side (hereinafter, referred to as core network device), that is, the application processor and the modem interact with the core network device, and turn off the RQoS capability of the terminal and/or turn on the MICO function of the terminal. The following embodiments describe the above power saving management method in detail from the perspective of turning on the RQoS capability of the terminal and turning on the MICO function of the terminal, respectively.

Firstly, the process of closing the RQoS capability of the terminal is realized by introducing the interaction among the application processor, the modem and the core network equipment.

As shown in fig. 4, in an implementation manner, a power saving management method provided in an embodiment of the present invention may include S201 to S204:

s201, the application processor acquires battery state information of the terminal, wherein the battery state information comprises at least one of battery capacity of the terminal and battery mode of the terminal.

For the description of the battery status information, reference may be made to the related description in S101 above, and details are not repeated here.

S202, the application processor determines whether the terminal meets the power saving management condition according to the battery state information.

For the description of S201, reference may be made to the related description of S102 in the foregoing embodiment, and details are not repeated here.

S203, if the terminal satisfies the power saving management condition, the application processor sends a notification that the battery status information is changed to the modem.

In this embodiment of the present invention, if the application processor determines that the terminal satisfies the power saving management condition according to the battery status information of the terminal, the application processor notifies the modem of the fact that the terminal satisfies the power saving management condition, and specifically, the application processor sends a notification of a change of the battery status information to the modem, where the notification of the change of the battery status information may include a notification that a battery power of the terminal is lower than a preset power threshold or a notification that a battery mode of the terminal is changed into a power saving mode.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, the modem may subscribe to the application processor for a notification that the battery status information changes, so that when the battery power of the terminal is less than the preset battery power, the application processor may send the modem a notification that the battery status information of the terminal changes, or when the terminal enters the power saving mode, the application processor may send the modem a notification that the battery status information of the terminal changes.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, the modem may also actively acquire the battery state information from the application processor, so that the modem may acquire the current battery state information of the terminal from the application processor in real time.

And S204, the modem closes the RQoS capability of the terminal through a session establishment/modification process with the core network equipment.

In the embodiment of the invention, after the modem receives the battery state information sent by the application processor, the modem closes the RQoS capability of the terminal through a session establishment/modification process between the modem and the core network equipment.

Specifically, the RQoS capability of the terminal may be turned off by at least one of the following a1-a 4:

a1, if the terminal sends information supporting RQoS capability to the first core network device when establishing the first PDU session, the terminal sends a session modification message to the first core network device, where the session modification message includes information not supporting RQoS capability.

The first PDU session is established before the battery status information meets the power saving management condition, that is, the power of the terminal is sufficient, and when the terminal does not enter the power saving mode, the terminal and the first core network device already establish the first PDU session.

In the embodiment of the present invention, in a process of establishing a first PDU session by a terminal, the terminal sends information supporting an RQoS capability to a first core network device (that is, the terminal reports the RQoS capability of the terminal to the first core network device), and when the terminal needs to close the RQoS capability of the terminal, a modem of the terminal may send a session modification message to the first core network device, where the session modification message carries information that the RQoS capability is not supported, so as to notify the first core network device that the terminal no longer supports the RQoS capability, that is, close the RQoS capability of the terminal.

A2, when the terminal establishes the second PDU session, the terminal sends information that RQoS capability is not supported to the second core network device.

In the embodiment of the present invention, when the terminal establishes the second PDU session (i.e., when the terminal establishes a new PDU session), the terminal sends a session establishment message to the second core network device, and the session establishment message carries information that the RQoS capability is not supported, so as to notify the second core network device that the terminal does not support the RQoS capability.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, when a PDU session established by a terminal is switched between radio access networks (for example, the PDU session is switched from a 4G network to a 5G network), the terminal does not send a session modification procedure to a second core network device in the 5G network to report an RQoS capability.

A3, if the terminal sends information supporting RQoS capability to the third core network device when establishing the third PDU session, and the terminal stores an uplink QoS rule associated with the third PDU session and generated by the terminal according to the downlink data, the terminal releases the uplink QoS rule.

The uplink QoS rule is a QoS rule generated by the terminal according to downlink data based on RQoS capability, and the third PDU session is established before the battery state information satisfies the power saving management condition.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the terminal may release the QoS rule associated with the established PDU session (i.e., the third PDU session), so that the terminal no longer supports the RQoS capability, i.e., closes the RQoS capability of the terminal.

A4, if the terminal establishes the fourth PDU session, the terminal sends information supporting RQoS capability to the fourth core network device, and the terminal stops analyzing RQI or SDAP header information.

Wherein the fourth PDU session is established before the battery status information satisfies the power saving management condition.

In the embodiment of the present invention, when the terminal establishes the fourth PDU session, the terminal reports to the fourth core network device that the terminal supports RQoS capability, and the terminal stops analyzing RQI or SDAP header information, that is, closes the RQoS capability of the terminal.

To sum up, a1-a4 may find that, for different application scenarios, a terminal flexibly closes the RQoS capability of the terminal by sending information that does not support the RQoS capability to a core network device, releasing a stored uplink QoS rule, or stopping parsing RQI or SDAP header information, and the like, so that the terminal does not generate the uplink QoS rule any more, and thus the battery power of the terminal may be saved.

As shown in fig. 5, in another implementation manner, the power saving management method provided in the embodiment of the present invention may include S301 to S304:

s301, the application processor acquires battery state information of the terminal, wherein the battery state information comprises at least one of battery capacity of the terminal and battery mode of the terminal.

For the specific description of S301, reference may be made to the related description of S201 in the foregoing embodiment, and details are not repeated here.

S302, the application processor sends the battery state information of the terminal to the modem.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, the modem may send an inquiry request of the battery status information to the application processor (for example, the inquiry request may be sent periodically), and after receiving the inquiry request of the battery status information, the application processor returns the battery level of the terminal or the battery mode of the terminal to the modem.

And S303, the modem determines whether the terminal meets the power saving management condition according to the battery state information.

In the embodiments of the present invention, in the above S201-S204, the application processor determines whether the terminal satisfies the power saving management condition according to the battery status information, and when the terminal satisfies the power saving management condition, the application processor notifies the modem of the event, where the modem may receive the battery status information sent by the application processor, and then the modem determines whether the terminal satisfies the power saving management condition, and when the terminal satisfies the power saving management condition, the application processor performs an operation of closing an RQoS capability of the terminal.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the method for determining, by the modem, whether the terminal satisfies the power saving management condition according to the battery state information of the terminal, and the application processor determines, according to the battery state information of the terminal, whether the terminal satisfies the power saving management condition, for the description of S303, reference may be specifically made to the above description of S202 (or S102), and details are not repeated here.

And S304, if the terminal meets the power saving management condition, the modem closes the RQoS capability of the terminal through a session establishment/modification process with the core network equipment.

For a specific description of S304, reference may be made to the related description of S102 in the foregoing embodiment, and details are not repeated here.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the RQoS capability of the terminal may be closed by adopting one of the method flows of S201 to S204 and S301 to S304, which may be specifically selected according to an actual situation, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited.

Secondly, the interaction among the application processor, the modem and the core network equipment is introduced to realize the process of starting the MICO function of the terminal.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, when the terminal registers on the core network device, the terminal interacts with the core network device, reports the MICO function supported by the terminal to the core network device (that is, reports the MICO preference of the terminal to the core network device), and the core network device allows the terminal to start the MICO function.

As shown in fig. 6, in an implementation manner, a power saving management method provided in an embodiment of the present invention may include S401 to S410:

s401, the application processor obtains battery state information of the terminal, wherein the battery state information comprises at least one of battery capacity of the terminal and battery mode of the terminal.

S402, the application processor determines whether the terminal meets the power saving management condition according to the battery state information.

S403, if the terminal satisfies the power saving management condition, the application processor sends a notification that the battery status information is changed to the modem.

For specific descriptions of S401 to S403, reference may be made to the related descriptions of S201 to S203 in the foregoing embodiments, and details are not described here again.

S404, the modem sends a request for turning on the MICO function to the application processor.

S405, the application processor triggers a touch screen of the terminal to display a first interface so as to prompt a user whether to start the MICO function.

In the embodiment of the invention, when the modem knows that the electric quantity of the terminal is smaller than the preset electric quantity threshold or the battery mode of the terminal is the power-saving mode, the modem triggers and starts the MICO function of the terminal, so that a prompt interface (namely the first interface) is displayed by the application processor to prompt a user to set the MICO function of the terminal from the closed state to the open state.

Specifically, the application processor triggers a display screen of the terminal to display a first interface, the first interface comprises an option for setting the state of the MICO function, then a user performs a first operation on the first interface through a touch screen to display a second interface, the first operation is an operation for setting the MICO function from the closed state to the open state, and the second interface indicates that the MICO function of the terminal is in the open state.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 7, after the modem of the handset 100 sends a request for turning on the MICO function to the application processor, the handset 100 displays a first interface (fig. 7 (a)) including an option 21 for setting the state of the MICO function, and specifically including a button 22 for setting the state of the MICO function, and when the button 22 is moved to the left, it identifies the MICO function of the terminal as being in the off state, and when the button 22 is moved to the right, it indicates the MICO function of the terminal as being in the on state. The user performs a first operation on the first interface, i.e., an operation of toggling the button 22 from left to right, so that the terminal displays a second interface ((b) of fig. 7) in which the button 22 is located at the right, indicating that the user has selected to set the MICO function of the terminal to the on state.

S406, after the user selects to turn on the MICO function, the application processor transmits a response to turn on the MICO function to the modem.

S407, the modem initiates a request for activating the MICO function to the core network device.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the user sets the MICO function of the terminal to the on state, but does not actually start the MICO function of the terminal, which only indicates that the MICO function of the terminal is in the state of allowing to be activated, and the modem further needs to interact with the core network device to activate the MICO function of the terminal, so that the MICO function of the terminal is enabled.

Specifically, the modem may initiate a registration procedure to the core network device, send a request for activating the MICO function to the core network device through the registration procedure, and then the core network device activates the MICO function of the terminal.

S408, the modem sends an activation success message of the MICO function to the application processor.

S409, the application processor receives the activation success message of the MICO function.

And S410, triggering the touch screen of the terminal by the application processor to display a third interface, wherein the third interface indicates that the MICO function of the terminal is successfully started.

In the embodiment of the invention, after the modem and the core network device interactively activate the MICO function of the terminal, the modem sends the MICO function activation success message to the application processor, and then the application processor can trigger the touch screen of the terminal to display the third interface to prompt a user that the MICO function of the terminal is activated, so that the terminal does not monitor paging messages any more, the battery power of the terminal can be further saved, and the power saving performance of the terminal is remarkably improved.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, when a user has a demand for no-disturb, the user may actively set the MICO function from the off state to the on state, so that the terminal may interact with the core network device to activate the MICO function, and thus, the terminal does not monitor any paging message any more, thereby implementing no-disturb (that is, the terminal is in the no-disturb mode), and saving battery power of the terminal.

Optionally, when the terminal is in the do-not-disturb mode, the user may actively set the MICO function of the terminal from the on state to the off state, so that the terminal recovers to the normal state and may monitor the paging message.

Specifically, the user performs a relevant operation on the MICO function setting interface of the terminal to set the MICO function to the off state. Illustratively, as shown in fig. 8, the MICO function setting interface (referred to as a fourth interface, i.e., (a) in fig. 8) of the mobile phone 100 includes an option 21 for setting the state of the MICO function, and specifically includes a button 22 for setting the state of the MICO function, and the user dials the button 22 from right to left on the fourth interface, so that the terminal displays a fifth interface, i.e., (b) in fig. 8, in which the button 22 is located on the left, indicating that the user has selected to set the MICO function of the terminal to the off state.

Similarly, similar to the process of turning off the RQoS capability, in the process of turning on the MICO function, S401-S403 are similar to S201-S203, and thus, S401-S403 may be replaced with S301-S303, that is, the modem itself determines whether the terminal satisfies the power saving management condition, and in case that the terminal satisfies the power saving management condition, S404-S410 are executed to turn on the MICO function of the terminal.

As shown in fig. 9, in another implementation manner, the power saving management method provided in the embodiment of the present invention may include S501 to S510:

and S501, when the core network equipment allows the terminal to start the MICO function, the modem sends a message of allowing the MICO function to be started to the application processor.

S502, the application processor sets the MICO function of the terminal to a state allowing the setting.

In the embodiment of the present invention, after the modem of the terminal reports to the core network device that the terminal supports the MICO function in the process of registering on the core network device, and when the core device determines that the terminal is allowed to turn on the MICO function, the modem may send the message allowing the MICO function to be turned on to the application processor, so as to trigger the application processor to set the MICO function of the terminal to the state of allowing the setting (i.e., allowing the terminal to be turned on or allowing the terminal to be turned off).

It should be noted that the embodiment of the present invention provides the terminal supporting the MICO function, where the MICO function of the terminal is in an unavailable state, and when the modem notifies the application processor core network device that the terminal has been allowed to turn on the MICO function, the application processor may set the MICO function of the terminal from the unavailable state to a state allowing setting.

S503, the application processor acquires the battery state information of the terminal.

And S504, the application processor determines whether the terminal meets the power saving management condition according to the battery state information.

And S505, if the terminal meets the power saving management condition, triggering a touch screen of the terminal by the application processor to display a first interface so as to prompt a user whether to start an MICO function.

In the embodiment of the present invention, in the first interface, the MICO function of the terminal is in a closed state, and it can be understood that the first interface here is the same interface as the first interface in S405 described above.

After the terminal displays the first interface, a user performs a first operation on the first interface and displays a second interface, wherein the first operation is an operation of setting the MICO function from the closed state to the open state, and the second interface indicates that the MICO function of the terminal is in the open state.

For the description of each interface of the terminal in S505, reference may be specifically made to the above description of S405, which is not described herein again.

S506, after the user selects to turn on the MICO function, the application processor transmits a request for activating the MICO function to the modem.

In the embodiment of the invention, after the application processor determines that the user has the requirement for starting the MICO function, the application processor directly sends a request for activating the MICO function to the modem so as to request the modem to execute the operation of starting the MICO function.

And S507, the modem initiates a request for activating the MICO function to the core network equipment.

S508, the modem sends a successful activation message of the MICO function to the application processor.

S509, the application processor receives an activation success message of the MICO function.

And S510, triggering the touch screen of the terminal to display a third interface by the application processor, wherein the third interface indicates that the MICO function of the terminal is successfully started.

For the specific description of S507-S510, refer to the related description of S407-S410, which is not repeated herein.

In summary, through the above-mentioned processes of S501-S510, when the power of the terminal is low or the battery mode of the terminal is the power saving mode, the MICO function of the terminal may be turned on, so that the terminal does not monitor the paging message any more, the battery power of the terminal may be further saved, and the power saving performance of the terminal is significantly improved.

Optionally, when the user has a need of no-disturbance, the MICO function of the terminal is turned on through S501-S510, so that the terminal does not monitor any paging message any more, the no-disturbance is realized, and the battery power of the terminal can be saved.
