Detailed Description

Reference will now be made in detail to the exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, like numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present invention. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with certain aspects of the invention, as detailed in the appended claims.

Fig. 1 is a flowchart illustrating a terminal control method according to an exemplary embodiment, where the terminal control method may be applied to an intelligent terminal device and executed by a processor in the intelligent terminal device, and the intelligent terminal may be a smart phone, a smart tablet, a wearable device, a personal palm assistant, a notebook, or the like, and the disclosure does not limit a specific type of the terminal.

As shown in fig. 1, the terminal control method includes the following steps.

In step S101, usage data of the user using the terminal is acquired.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the usage data of the terminal used by the user includes the time when the user uses the terminal to specify the application and/or the time when the user uses the terminal, and the time when the user uses the terminal is the time when the user uses the current terminal and the display screen of the current terminal is in the bright screen state.

In step S102, when the usage data satisfies a condition for managing the usage time of the terminal, the usage time of the terminal by the user is controlled according to the usage time management information set by the user.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the usage data may be usage time data of the current terminal used by the user historically, and when the user uses the terminal, the time for using the terminal and/or the time for using the specified application are/is not reasonable, which causes time waste.

For example, when the user uses the terminal in history, the usage time threshold of the terminal is set to realize the control of the usage of the terminal, and the time exceeding the usage time threshold is unreasonable time for using the terminal, that is, time waste. The user sets the service time threshold of the terminal to be 15 hours, the time for actually using the terminal is 18 hours, and the exceeding 3 hours is not in the service time planned by the user and wastes 3 hours.

The user controls the time of using the terminal in the subsequent use through the setting of time management, and realizes the recovery of the time waste generated in the historical use in a mode of controlling the use time of the terminal.

For example, the user sets the usage time management with a period of 6 days, and 3 hours, which makes up for the time waste of using the terminal before, are realized with the time of 6 days. In 6 days of time management, the part of the time for using the terminal, which is reduced from the set using time threshold of the terminal, is used as the compensation of the time waste of the historical using terminal, and the user can restrict the using terminal independently, thereby realizing the reasonable use of the terminal.

For another example, the user sets the usage time management with a cycle of 6 days and a daily management time of 0.5 hour, and the waste of the time for using the terminal before is compensated by using the time of 6 days. In the subsequent terminal using process with the period of 6 days, the daily using time of the user is reduced by 0.5 hour compared with the daily using time threshold, and 3 hours of time waste of the historical terminal using time is made up.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, by acquiring the use data of the terminal used by the user, when the use data meets the condition of managing the use time of the terminal, the use time of the terminal used by the user is controlled according to the use time management information set by the user, so that the use time of the terminal is controlled, the recovery of the unreasonable use time of the history is realized, the user is stimulated to realize self-restraint, the use time of the terminal is actively managed, the waste of time is avoided, and the terminal is reasonably used.

In one embodiment, the condition that the usage data satisfies the usage time of the management terminal includes: the time that the user uses the terminal-specific application and/or the time that the user uses the terminal exceeds the usage time threshold.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the time for which the user uses the terminal-specific application exceeds the usage time threshold, the condition for managing the usage time of the terminal is satisfied, that is, the usage time of the terminal by the user is controlled to realize the recovery of the time waste generated in the historical usage. It is also possible that the condition for managing the terminal use time is satisfied when the time for which the user uses the terminal exceeds the use time threshold. The condition for managing the terminal use time may be satisfied when the time for which the user uses the terminal-specific application and the time for which the user uses the terminal exceed the use time thresholds, respectively.

The usage time threshold may be set by the user, may be set by default by the system, or may be set by the system according to historical data, which is not limited by the present disclosure. For example, the usage time threshold may be a usage time of the terminal for a working day of 6 hours, a usage time of the terminal for a rest day of 7 hours, and a usage time of the terminal for a user in the working day or the rest day of 6 or 7 hours longer than the usage time threshold, that is, a condition for managing the usage time of the terminal is satisfied.

For another example, the current terminal-specific application is set to be used, for example, the time threshold of use of a certain game application per day is set to be 1 hour, and the time of use of the game application by the user on a certain day is set to be 1.5 hours, that is, the time exceeds the time threshold, so that the condition for managing the use time of the terminal is satisfied.

When the time that the user uses the terminal to designate the application and/or the time that the user uses the terminal exceeds the use time threshold, the fact that the time that the user uses the terminal is unreasonable in use is represented, the user sets use time management, the unreasonable use time is managed, namely, the time that the user uses the terminal unreasonable in history is recovered, a personalized use scheme is provided for the user, and user experience is improved.

Fig. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a terminal control method according to still another exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, and as shown in fig. 2, the terminal control method includes the following steps.

In step S201, usage data of the user using the terminal is acquired.

In step S202, usage data of the terminal used by the user is presented on the user interaction page, and the usage data includes an application used and a time when the application was used.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the obtained usage data of the current terminal used by the user may be displayed on the user interaction page, and the usage data may include an application used by the user and a usage time corresponding to the used application.

For example, the application used by the user on the current date and the corresponding use time of the application may be presented by date. And displaying the use time corresponding to the application in the set time section according to the application classification. The service time corresponding to each type of application may also be presented according to the classification of the application and the category, for example, the application may be classified as: games, shopping, social entertainment, office-related, and other categories. And respectively displaying the service time of each type of application according to the application classification. The display mode can be a bar chart, a pie chart, a percentage chart and the like. The user can conveniently summarize and analyze the behavior of the user terminal, and an analysis basis is provided for the service time of the control terminal.

In step S203, the usage time management information set by the user based on the usage data presented by the interactive page is acquired.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the user can set the service time management information based on the service data displayed on the interactive page, so that the service time management information is set more pertinently and more effectively, and the service time of the user to the terminal is controlled according to the service time management information.

In step S204, when the usage data satisfies the condition for managing the terminal usage time, the usage time of the terminal by the user is controlled according to the usage time management information set by the user.

In one embodiment, the usage time management information includes a start time of the usage time management, an end time of the usage time management, and a time required to be controlled within a set time period.

The user sets the service time management to recover the unreasonable service time, and the starting time of the service time management, the ending time of the service time management and the time needing to be controlled in the set time period can be set by the user, so that a scheme for recovering the time is formed. For example, the user may set the starting time of the time management to a certain starting date in the future by himself, or the starting time of the time management may be set by default by the system, for example, the next day of the current setting. An end time of the usage time management may also be set, and the start time of the time management and the end time of the usage time management constitute a usage time management period. The product of the usage time management period and the time required to be controlled in the time period is the usage time of the terminal recovered in the usage time management period.

For example, the start time of the usage time management is 3/1/2020/3/7/2020/3, and the time to be controlled in the time period is set to 30 minutes per day, and in this example, the user sets a total time recovery of 210 minutes.

In one embodiment, within a set time period, according to the starting time and the ending time, the control terminal stops working for the time required to be controlled.

In the above example, the usage time threshold is set to be 6 hours for weekday usage terminal time, 7 hours for holiday usage terminal time, 1 day for 3 months in 2020, 7 days for 3 months in 2020, and 30 minutes per day for the time period to be controlled.

Then, in the 3 rd 1 (rest day) of 2020, the terminal needs the use time of the control, i.e. the recovery of subtracting 0.5 hour from the use time threshold of 7 hours, i.e. the time for controlling the terminal to stop working is 6.5 hours. In No. 3/2 (working day) of 2020, the terminal needs to control the service time, i.e. the time threshold is 6 hours minus 0.5 hours, i.e. the time for controlling the terminal to stop working reaches 5.5 hours which needs to be controlled. The user can trace back the waste of the historical service time by formulating the future service time management, and the waste of the historical service time is used as the compensation of the waste of the time, so that the user is stimulated to realize self-restraint, and the reasonable use of the terminal is realized.

Fig. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a terminal control method according to still another exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, and as shown in fig. 3, the terminal control method includes the following steps.

In step S301, usage data of the user using the terminal is acquired.

In step S302, when the usage data satisfies a condition for managing the usage time of the terminal, the usage time of the terminal by the user is controlled according to the usage time management information set by the user.

In step S303, when the usage data satisfies the condition for managing the terminal usage time, the user is prompted to perform usage time management on the terminal.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the usage data satisfies the condition for managing the usage time of the terminal, that is, according to the usage time management information set by the user, the user is controlled to use the terminal, and the user may be prompted to perform time management on the terminal.

For example, a dialog box pops up, and provides an information prompt for the user, so as to prompt the user to set the management of the use time, and ask the user to determine whether to continue to use the terminal or stop using the terminal, that is, to perform the management of the use time of the terminal when the condition for managing the use time of the terminal is currently satisfied. The user can use the terminal independently, inconvenience brought to the user by forcibly stopping the user to use the terminal is avoided, the prompting mode is more flexible, and the use requirement of the user is met.

Fig. 4 is a flowchart illustrating a terminal control method according to still another exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, and as shown in fig. 4, the terminal control method includes the following steps.

In step S401, usage data of the user using the terminal is acquired.

In step S402, when the usage data satisfies a condition for managing the usage time of the terminal, the usage time of the terminal by the user is controlled according to the usage time management information set by the user.

In step S403, when the usage data satisfies a condition for managing the terminal usage time, the user is prompted to perform usage time management on the terminal.

In step S404, when the user selects termination of the use time management of the terminal, the condition for managing the use time of the terminal is updated according to the setting of the user.

When information prompt is carried out on the user, the user is prompted to set the service time management, and the service time condition of the management terminal is met currently. The user determines that the user needs to continue using the terminal according to the requirement of using the terminal, namely, the user cannot manage the use time of the terminal. The condition for managing the use time of the terminal may be updated according to the user's setting.

For example, when the user determines that the user needs to continue using the terminal, the use time management of the user is ended. And in the user interaction page, setting the condition of the terminal service time by the user, and updating the condition for managing the terminal service time according to the setting of the user.

When the user is in No. 3/1 (holiday) of 2020, the time for the control terminal to stop working for reaching the control requirement is 6.5 hours, and when the time for using the terminal reaches 6.5 hours, the user is prompted with information to prompt the user to set the use time management, and the condition for managing the use time of the terminal is met currently. And the user determines to continuously use the terminal according to the requirement of using the terminal. The setting of the usage time threshold may be performed on the user interaction page, and the user may set the time threshold for using the terminal on the weekday to a required time length, for example, the time threshold for using the terminal on the weekday is set to 9 hours, update the condition for managing the usage time of the terminal, and allow the user to continue using the terminal.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal displays the time management state on the user interaction page. For example, the user uses the terminal according to the time required to be controlled in the set time period from the start time of the usage time management to the end time of the usage time management, and the time management status page may display that the user successfully realizes the management of the usage time and issue prompt information for awards and prizes to encourage the user to successfully manage the usage time.

The user cannot use the terminal according to the time required to be controlled in a set time period from the starting time of the service time management to the ending time of the service time management, namely, the time management plan is not successfully executed, the page is interacted, the time of the user for the service time management can be displayed, and the application used in the service time management can also be displayed, so that the user can self-summarize and analyze the behavior of the service terminal, draw on the training and successfully realize the autonomous management and strict autonomy.
