Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

The application discloses a control method, a control device and electronic equipment, which are used for realizing a unified hardware control management scheme based on system bottom hardware by realizing data and control logics corresponding to different control capacities of different generations, different series and/or different types of hardware of different types of electronic equipment in the system bottom hardware (different from target hardware to be controlled), and releasing different control capacity requirements of upper software of the system on different generations, different series and/or different types of hardware, so that the upper software can be used as a trigger only to trigger the bottom hardware to execute response processing and correspondingly realize required control, and accordingly, the aim of reducing the development period, workload and difficulty of the upper software is fulfilled.

Referring to fig. 1, a flow chart of the control method of the present application is shown, where the control method can be applied to, but is not limited to, an electronic device having a software and hardware-based data processing function/component control function, and the electronic device can be, for example and without limitation, a portable mobile terminal such as a smart phone, a tablet computer, a personal digital assistant, or a computer device such as a notebook, a desktop, or a kiosk.

As shown in fig. 1, in the present embodiment, the control method includes the following processing steps:

step 101, obtaining input parameters.

In the present application, corresponding data and control logic required for controlling controllable hardware of different generations, different series and/or different models are stored in advance in a hardware component of an electronic device. Wherein the hardware component includes at least: a first hardware component storing at least target data and a second hardware component storing at least target control logic. The controllable hardware may be, but is not limited to, a CPU (central Processing Unit), a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), a keyboard, and other hardware, where the keyboard may be a self-contained keyboard or an extended keyboard of the electronic device.

The first hardware component may be, but is not limited to, a BIOS (Basic Input Output System) chip of the electronic device, and the second hardware component may be, but is not limited to, an EC (embedded Controller) of the electronic device. In other embodiments, the first hardware component may also be a component having the same or similar functionality as the BIOS, and the second hardware component may also be another component having the same or similar functionality as the EC.

Target data stored in the BIOS, including but not limited to: target configuration parameters of controllable hardware of a certain generation, a certain series and/or a certain model actually used by the current model of the electronic equipment, and performance parameters (performance parameter set) matched with various different configuration parameters corresponding to the controllable hardware of each generation, series and/or model. The configuration parameters of the hardware refer to parameter information such as algebra, series and/or model to which the hardware belongs, the performance parameters of the hardware include, but are not limited to, overclocking parameters of a CPU/GPU, light effect control parameters of a keyboard, and light effect control parameters of the keyboard, which illustratively include information such as a light effect mode, a controllable region, the number of lamps of the keyboard, color, brightness, a light effect animation switching direction, speed, and time. For example, taking the controllable hardware as the CPU or the GPU as an example, the turbo parameters of the CPUs and GPUs of different generations, series and/or models are often different, and accordingly, target configuration parameters such as an algebra (belonging to a GPU/CPU of a certain generation), a series and a model of the GPU/CPU actually used by the current electronic device (the electronic device where the BIOS is located) model and performance parameters such as different turbo parameters corresponding to the GPUs/CPUs of the various generations, series and/or models on the market may be stored in the BIOS. Taking controllable hardware as a keyboard as an example, the light effect modes, light effect control areas and/or light effect parameters (such as brightness, color, animation switching, direction, speed, time) supported by keyboards of different generations, different series and/or different models are often different, and accordingly, target configuration parameters such as the generation number, the series and the model to which the keyboard actually used by the current electronic device (the electronic device in which the BIOS is located) belongs can be stored in the BIOS, and performance information (set) such as different light effect modes, light effect control areas and light effect parameters corresponding to keyboards of different generations, series and/or models on the market can be stored.

The performance parameters corresponding to controllable hardware of each generation, each series and/or each model are stored in the BIOS, so that the hardware performance parameters which are universally used for different types of equipment are stored in the BIOS. Optionally, for the hardware of the keyboard, a basic light effect library including a series of basic light effects may be stored in the BIOS, and the basic light effect library is also used as a performance parameter commonly used for different keyboards, and the basic light effects in the basic light effect library may include, but are not limited to, circular, elliptical, linear, and square light effect animations, so as to support the user interface of the upper software program to perform a customized combination of different basic light effects, and implement a desired customized animation or scene animation by performing a combination of different basic light effects.

Therefore, for electronic equipment of different models, the target configuration parameters of the corresponding controllable hardware actually used by the electronic equipment are stored in the first hardware component in a differentiated manner, and the hardware performance parameters corresponding to the current model of the electronic equipment can be obtained through matching based on the general performance parameters stored by the first hardware component. Specifically, as shown in fig. 2, in practical application, the upper layer software is supported to read the performance parameters of the hardware matched with the actual use of the current device model from the BIOS, so as to obtain the hardware capability of the current device model, such as the light effect mode supported by the keyboard of the current device model, the controllable area of the keyboard, the available basic light effect animation, and the like, and on the basis, the user is supported to perform operations such as parameter input, configuration, and the like on the hardware based on the performance parameters displayed on the interface, for example, the combination of the basic animation, the collocation of different light effect modes and different controllable areas, the setting of the color, brightness, and the like of the keyboard lamp, the setting of the super-frequency parameter value of the GPU/CPU, and the like are performed on the user interface, so as to generate the required control parameters, and transmit the control parameters to the EC through the interface, so that the hardware (keyboard, GPU/CPU.

In addition, since the main function of the BIOS is to provide the lowest level, most direct hardware settings and control for the computer, in addition to storing the above-mentioned target data in the first hardware component, BIOS may also store control logic for controlling certain controllable hardware. Preferably, the control logic stored in the BIOS is control logic of corresponding hardware that needs to be controlled by the BIOS, for example, the control logic may specifically be, but is not limited to, control logic for performing over-clocking control on a CPU and a PGU, and these control logics are relatively simple and can be implemented by using control capability provided by the BIOS itself.

Preferably, the target control logic stored in the EC as the second hardware component may be, but is not limited to, a relatively complex control logic such as a light effect control logic of a keyboard. The target control logic may specifically include control parameters and processing and/or control flows based on the control parameters, for example, a light effect control flow of some custom animations or scene animations based on light effect parameters such as speed, direction, color, time, etc., which may show different light effects by adjusting speed, direction, color, time, etc. of the keyboard light animation, and may specifically be implemented by means of the computing power and logic processing power of the EC.

In addition to the target control logic, for example, for the keyboard light effect control, in addition to the control logic of the keyboard light effect stored in the second hardware component, the second hardware component may also store target configuration parameters such as the generation number, series, model number and the like of the keyboard actually used by the current electronic device (the electronic device where the EC is located), and performance information such as different light effect modes, light effect control areas, light effect parameters, basic animation libraries and the like corresponding to the generation, series and/or model keyboards on the market. It will be readily appreciated that in the case where the aforementioned target data for the keyboard is stored in the EC, it is no longer necessary to store such data in the BIOS.

On this basis, in an embodiment, the obtaining of the input parameters in step 101 may be specifically implemented as: operating parameters acting on the target application process are obtained.

The obtained operation parameters serve as the input parameters described above.

In this embodiment, a software program may be specifically utilized to provide a User Interface (UI) for controlling target hardware of the electronic device to an operator of the electronic device, and the operator may execute corresponding operations on the User Interface provided by the software program according to actual requirements to realize interaction with the underlying first hardware component and/or second hardware component, and accordingly realize control of the target hardware, such as a keyboard lamp, a CPU/GPU, and the like, by the first hardware component and/or the second hardware component.

The software program for providing the user interface may be local system software of the electronic device or third-party software installed in the electronic device, and in implementation, different software programs may be developed and implemented one by one or a software program that is generally used for various different controllable hardware for different types of controllable hardware, such as a keyboard, a CPU, and a GPU, and the implementation form of the software program is not limited herein.

The operation parameters acting on the target application process are specifically operation parameters acting on a corresponding target application process of the software program, and the target application process may include but is not limited to: a process for querying the target data of a certain target hardware from the target data of the first hardware component for the configuration parameters and performance parameters of the certain target hardware, a process for adjusting the control parameters in the target control logic of a certain target hardware in the second hardware component, or a process for adjusting the target control logic (the processing/control flow) of a certain target hardware in the second hardware component, and so on. Accordingly, the operating parameter acting on the target application process may be, but is not limited to, any of the following:

1) query parameters for querying the respective configuration/performance parameters from the first hardware component;

for example, a hardware identifier (e.g., a hardware type, a hardware name, etc. of any hardware such as a keyboard light, a CPU, a GPU, etc.) of a certain target hardware is input or selected to the user interface, and this is used as an input parameter to query and output configuration parameters and/or performance parameters of the target hardware from the first hardware component.

2) Adjustment parameter information for adjusting a corresponding control parameter in the second hardware component;

for example, the performance parameters (e.g. the over-clocking parameter of the GPU, the brightness and the color of the keyboard light) of a certain target hardware which is queried from the first hardware component and displayed on the user interface are set, and the generated setting information is used as the adjustment parameter information for adjusting the corresponding control parameters (e.g. the over-clocking parameter of the GPU, the brightness and the color of the keyboard light) in the second hardware component.

3) Adjustment parameter information for adjusting the target control logic in the second hardware component;

for example, different keyboard light effect mode identifiers and different keyboard light area identifiers, which are called from a first hardware component and displayed on a user interface, are combined and matched, or different basic animations are combined in a user-defined manner, and generated combination and matching information is used as adjustment parameter information to read matched keyboard light effect mode information, keyboard light area information or various basic animation information from the first hardware component based on the adjustment parameter information, and further adjust light effect control logic (light effect processing/control flow) for a keyboard light in a second hardware component based on the read information, so that the adjusted light effect control logic is matched with the combination and matching information.

Or, optionally, in another embodiment, the obtaining of the input parameter in step 101 may specifically be implemented as: the environment parameters provided to the target interface process are obtained.

In this embodiment, the electronic device may provide an environment parameter detection function by setting various sensing elements such as an illuminometer, a sound sensor, a temperature sensor, and a camera, or creating and starting a detection process for an application running on the electronic device, and obtain an environment parameter detected by each sensor or the application detection process through a target interface process. The environmental parameters detected by each sensor or detection process may include, but are not limited to, ambient brightness, ambient noise, temperature, ambient image (for example, whether an image of an operator in front of the electronic device is detected), information of an application (for example, a specific game application or an audio/video application) run by the electronic device, and the like, so as to support adaptive adjustment of corresponding control parameters of the target control logic in the second hardware component based on the detected environmental parameters.

And 102, determining a corresponding hardware component according to at least the input parameters.

The hardware component for performing the response processing on the input parameter may be determined from the first hardware component and the second hardware component at least according to the input parameter.

Specifically, the step 102 can be implemented as any one of the following:

1) processing the input parameters to obtain a processing result, and determining the hardware component executing response processing to be a first hardware component and/or a second hardware component according to the processing result;

specifically, the operation parameters acting on the target application process or the environment parameters provided to the target interface process may be processed, and the hardware component executing the response processing may be determined to be the first hardware component and/or the second hardware component according to the processing result.

Illustratively, for example, the operation parameter acting on the target application process is parsed (e.g. semantic parsing on the voice input information or the interface button operation information, etc.), and the operation purpose is known to be the query type, the control parameter adjustment type or the target control logic adjustment type, and a processing instruction is determined based on the operation purpose, and then a hardware component for performing response processing on the processing instruction is determined, wherein if the operation purpose is to query the performance parameter of the target hardware (e.g. GPU), the processing instruction is determined to be the query instruction, the hardware component for performing response processing on the query instruction is correspondingly determined to be the hardware component storing the target hardware performance parameter, e.g. the first hardware component BIOS, and if the operation purpose is to adjust the control parameter or the target control logic of the target hardware, the processing instruction is determined to be the adjustment instruction (adjustment control parameter or target control logic), the hardware component for performing the response process on the adjustment instruction is accordingly determined to be a hardware component, such as the second hardware component EC, in which the target control logic (including the control parameters) of the target hardware is stored.

For another example, the environment sensing signal provided by the sensor or the detection result provided by the application detection process is analyzed to obtain the environment parameter, and then the hardware component executing the response processing is determined as the hardware component storing the target control logic, such as the second hardware component EC, based on the environment parameter, so that the second hardware component can perform adaptive adjustment of matching the control parameter or the control flow in the target control logic to the device environment. For example, in a case where the device is detected and analyzed to run a game application and the user is in front of the device, the second hardware component is determined as a hardware component for performing response processing, so as to perform adaptive adjustment on the keyboard light effect when the second hardware component is adapted to the game application of the device (e.g., the digital area or the directional control area of the keyboard is adjusted to a certain light effect mode, so as to highlight the area for the user to operate conveniently), or in a case where it is detected and analyzed that the ambient brightness is low or the ambient noise is high, the hardware component storing the device brightness and volume control logic, such as EC, may be determined as a hardware component for performing response processing, so as to perform adaptive adjustment on the device backlight and volume based on the ambient brightness or noise at EC, and the like.

2) If the input parameter is an operation parameter acting on the target application process, acquiring attribute information of the target application process, and determining a hardware component executing response processing as a first hardware component and/or a second hardware component according to the attribute information and the operation parameter;

the attribute information of the target application process may include, but is not limited to, an application type to which the target application process belongs, and process function information under the application type to which the target application process belongs, such as that the target application process belongs to a GPU control application type, and a process for setting a GPU turbo parameter under the GPU control application type, or that the target application process belongs to a keyboard light effect control application type, and a process for querying keyboard light effect data (light effect mode data, keyboard area data, light effect parameter data, and the like) under the keyboard light effect control application type, and the like.

In this embodiment, in the case that the input parameter is an operation parameter acting on the target application process, specifically, the hardware component for performing the response process may be determined according to the operation parameter and the above-mentioned attribute information of the target application process, for example, if the input parameter is identification information of a keyboard lamp (for example, inputting a "keyboard lamp", or clicking a "keyboard lamp" button on an interface), and the attribute information of the target application process is a keyboard control application type, and the keyboard lamp effect information query process for the application type is performed, the hardware component for performing the response process may be determined as the first hardware component, and if the input parameter is a parameter value such as brightness, color, and the like of the keyboard lamp, and the attribute information of the target application process is a keyboard control application type, and the keyboard lamp effect parameter setting process for the application type is performed, the hardware component for performing the response process may be determined as the second hardware component (based on the set brightness, color, brightness, or the like, Color, etc., adjusting keyboard light effect control parameters in the second hardware component).

3) And if the input parameter is the environment parameter provided by the target interface process, determining the hardware component for executing the response processing as a second hardware component.

If the input parameter is an environmental parameter provided by the target interface process, the control parameter in the target control logic or the logic flow of the target control logic needs to be adjusted correspondingly based on the environmental parameter, so as to realize the self-adaptive adjustment of the control of the target hardware based on the environmental information of the electronic equipment, such as the self-adaptive adjustment of the brightness, the color and the light effect mode of the keyboard light based on the environmental brightness and the application process of the running of the electronic equipment. Therefore, in the case where the input parameter is an environmental parameter provided by the target interface process, it can be directly determined that the hardware component performing the response processing is a hardware component storing the target control logic, such as the second hardware component EC.

Step 103, executing corresponding response processing by the first hardware component and/or the second hardware component.

After determining that the hardware component for performing the response processing is the first hardware component and/or the second hardware component according to at least the input parameter, interaction may be performed between the upper layer software and the lower layer hardware, such as transmission of a parameter or a command, further based on an interface with the determined hardware component, and then the corresponding response processing may be performed on the input parameter through the determined first hardware component and/or the determined second hardware component.

Corresponding to the 1 st implementation manner (determining the hardware component according to the processing result of the input parameter) in step 102, the step 103 may be specifically implemented as:

11) if the processing result represents that the input parameters are used for obtaining the target performance parameters of the electronic equipment, the configuration parameters of the first target hardware obtained from the first hardware component are fed back and output according to a preset mode;

specifically, the target performance parameter of the electronic device is a performance parameter of first target hardware actually applied by a current model of the electronic device, such as a performance parameter of a keyboard, a GPU, or a CPU actually used.

If the processing result represents that the input parameter is used to obtain the target performance parameter of the first target hardware of the electronic device, for example, the input parameter is the identification information of the first target hardware (e.g., input GPU on the user interface or select an option button of the GPU to query the performance parameter of the GPU, etc.), the first hardware component, such as the BIOS, responds to the input parameters, queries, from the target data stored in the first hardware component, the target performance parameters corresponding to the configuration parameters of the first target hardware actually used by the current model of the electronic device, such as querying the over-clocking parameters of a certain generation and model of GPU actually used by the electronic device, or inquiring the light effect mode information supported by a certain generation and a certain type of keyboard, the supported light effect control area information, the light effect parameters (brightness, color and time), the basic animation and the like of the electronic equipment, and feeding back and outputting the inquired information on the user interface in a preset mode.

The predetermined mode may be, but is not limited to, a text information output mode, a graphic/image information output mode, or a mode combining text and graphic/image, for example, outputting the over-frequency parameter corresponding to the GPU in the text information output mode, outputting the light effect control area supported by the keyboard in the graphic/image mode (such as a virtual keyboard image), and outputting the light effect mode, the light effect parameter, the basic animation, and other information supported by the area in the corresponding area position of the keyboard in the text mode.

12) If the processing result represents that the input parameters cause the control parameters of the target control logic to change, controlling a control object of the target control logic to execute corresponding operation through a second hardware component;

specifically, if the processing result indicates that the input parameter causes a change in a control parameter of the target control logic (i.e., the input parameter causes an adjustment of the control parameter of the target control logic), the second hardware component, such as the EC, may specifically control the control object of the target control logic to perform a corresponding operation based on the adjusted control parameter.

Now, the following examples are given: for example, if the input parameters are the brightness, color, and time interval in the flashing mode of the keyboard lamp, and these parameters are different from the control parameters in the light effect control logic of the keyboard in the EC, which results in the adjustment of the control parameters, the EC may specifically control the keyboard (essentially, the keyboard controller) to perform the operations of brightness adjustment, color adjustment, time interval adjustment during flashing, and the like of the keyboard lamp based on the adjusted control parameters of brightness, color, time interval, and the like. For another example, if it is determined that the control parameters in the control logic of the device brightness and volume are changed according to the processed ambient brightness and noise, the EC may control the device to perform the operation of adjusting the backlight brightness and volume based on the changed control parameters of the brightness and volume.

13) And if the processing result represents that the first target data of the first target hardware is read from the first hardware component to adjust the target control logic of the second hardware component, controlling the first target hardware to execute corresponding operation according to the adjusted target control logic.

In this case, the first target data of the first target hardware may be read from the first hardware component to adjust the target control logic of the second hardware component, and then the second hardware component controls the first target hardware to execute the corresponding operation according to the adjusted target control logic.

For example, for the input parameter processing results obtained by matching different light effect modes with different keyboard regions (for example, the first keyboard region adopts the light effect mode 3, the second keyboard region adopts the light effect mode 1, etc.), or for different basic animation self-defined combination results, the light effect mode information and the keyboard region information of the keyboard can be specifically read from the first hardware component, such as the BIOS, if the light effect mode 1 is the normally-on mode, the light effect mode 3 is the blinking mode, the first keyboard region is the number key region for m keys, and the second keyboard region is the direction key region, for n keys in total, etc., or the corresponding basic animation information in the BIOS is read, and based on these read information, the light effect control logic for the keyboard in the second hardware component, such as the EC, is adjusted to correspond to the matching results or the self-defined animation combination results, and the EC controls the keyboard (essentially, according to the adjusted light effect control logic, to execute the corresponding light effect processing by the keyboard controller.

Corresponding to the implementation manner 2) in step 102 (determining the hardware component according to the operation parameters and the attribute information of the target application process), the step 103 may be specifically implemented as:

21) if the target application process is determined to be capable of at least inquiring the target performance parameters of the electronic equipment according to the attribute information, outputting the performance parameters corresponding to the configuration parameters of the second target hardware obtained from the first hardware component according to the input parameters;

at least the target performance parameter of the electronic device can be queried, which may refer to a target performance parameter of a second target hardware of the electronic device that can be queried and/or adjusted.

If the target performance parameters of the second target hardware of the electronic equipment at least can be inquired according to the attribute information of the target application process, such as the application type of the target application process and the corresponding process function information under the affiliated application type, the first hardware component, such as a BIOS (basic input/output system), inquires the target performance parameters of the configuration parameters of the second target hardware which are actually used by the electronic equipment from the target data stored in the first hardware component, such as the over-frequency parameters of a certain generation of model GPU (graphics processing unit) which is actually used by the electronic equipment, inquires the light effect mode information, the supported light effect control area information, the light effect parameters and the like which are supported by a certain generation of model keyboard which is actually used by the electronic equipment, and feeds back the inquired information to a user interface in a preset mode.

The predetermined mode can also be, but is not limited to, a text message output mode, a graphic/image message output mode, or a mode combining text and graphics/images.

22) If the target application process is determined to be capable of controlling at least a third target hardware of the electronic equipment according to the attribute information, controlling the third target hardware to execute corresponding operation according to the input parameters and target control logic for controlling the third target hardware in the second hardware component;

specifically, in a case where the attribute information of the target application process belongs to a control function process (for example, a light effect control process in a keyboard control application type) in the corresponding application type, it may be correspondingly determined that the target application process is capable of controlling at least a third target hardware (for example, a keyboard) of the electronic device according to the attribute information, and in this case, the input parameter, that is, the operation parameter acting on the target application process may be specifically used as the control parameter, and the third target hardware may execute a corresponding operation by using a corresponding target control logic control for controlling the third target hardware in the second hardware component, for example, controlling the keyboard to execute operations of light flashing, color adjustment, and the like.

23) And if the target application process is determined to be capable of adjusting at least the control parameter of the fourth target hardware of the electronic equipment according to the attribute information, updating the performance parameter corresponding to the configuration parameter of the fourth target hardware obtained from the first hardware component according to the input parameter to the corresponding target control logic in the second hardware component so as to control the fourth target hardware to execute the corresponding operation according to the updated target control logic.

If it is determined that the target application process can at least adjust the control parameters of the fourth target hardware of the electronic device according to the attribute information, obtaining performance parameters corresponding to the configuration parameters of the fourth target hardware from the first hardware component, such as light effect modes, basic animations, and the like supported by a certain generation and a certain model of keyboard in a corresponding control area, and updating the obtained performance parameters to a second hardware component, such as a corresponding target control logic in the EC, so that the fourth target hardware is subsequently controlled to execute corresponding operations according to the updated target control logic. For example, the keyboard is controlled according to the updated keyboard light effect control logic (essentially, the brightness adjustment, the color adjustment, the light effect mode adjustment, etc. of the keyboard light are performed by the keyboard controller.

Corresponding to the implementation manner of the 3 rd step 102 (determining the hardware component according to the environment parameter provided by the target interface process), the step 103 can be specifically implemented as follows:

In this embodiment, the corresponding control parameter of the target control logic may be adaptively adjusted according to the environment parameter, for example, backlight brightness in the device brightness control logic is adaptively adjusted according to the environment brightness, device volume in the device volume control logic is adaptively adjusted according to the environment noise, and the like, and then the target object is controlled according to the adjusted control parameter to perform corresponding operations, such as controlling the device to perform increase or decrease of the backlight brightness and the volume.

In summary, in the control method disclosed in this embodiment, at least the target data is stored in the first hardware component, and at least the target control logic is stored in the second target hardware component, so as to support the control of the target hardware by the first hardware component and/or the second hardware component of the system bottom layer. On the basis, when the target hardware needs to be controlled, only the input parameters need to be obtained at the upper layer (e.g., upper layer software) of the system to trigger the required control, and then the corresponding hardware component is further determined from the bottom layer of the system according to at least the input parameters, and the corresponding response processing is executed through the determined hardware component (e.g., the first hardware component and/or the second hardware component) to realize the control of the target hardware.

In an optional embodiment of the present application, the processing method may further include any one of the following processes:

1) obtaining a first difference parameter between the input parameter and a corresponding control parameter in the target control logic, and if the first difference parameter meets a first adjustment condition, updating the corresponding control parameter in the target control logic according to the input parameter;

specifically, in the case that the input parameter may cause a change of a corresponding control parameter in the target control logic, in this embodiment, a first difference parameter between the input parameter and the corresponding control parameter in the target control logic is further determined, and it is determined whether the first difference parameter meets a first adjustment condition, if the first adjustment condition is met, the corresponding control parameter in the target control logic is updated according to the input parameter, otherwise, if the first adjustment condition is not met, the corresponding control parameter in the target control logic is not updated, that is, in this case, the original control parameter in the target control logic is still used to perform corresponding control on the target hardware.

Optionally, the first difference parameter satisfies the first adjustment condition, which may mean that a value corresponding to the first difference parameter reaches a set first threshold.

For example, for the keyboard light brightness value input on the user interface, a difference between the input brightness value and the brightness parameter value in the keyboard light effect control logic in the second hardware component is specifically determined, if the difference reaches a set first threshold, the brightness parameter value in the keyboard light effect control logic is adjusted to the input brightness value, so as to perform keyboard light effect control according to the adjusted brightness value, otherwise, the adjustment is not performed.

2) And if the second difference parameter meets a second adjusting condition, updating the corresponding control parameter in the target control logic according to the performance parameter corresponding to the configuration parameter.

Similarly, a performance parameter corresponding to the configuration parameter of the target hardware may also be obtained, and it is determined whether the performance parameter and a second difference parameter of the corresponding control parameter in the target control logic satisfy a second adjustment condition, if the second difference parameter satisfies the second adjustment condition, the corresponding control parameter in the target control logic is updated according to the performance parameter corresponding to the configuration parameter, otherwise, the corresponding control parameter is not updated.

Optionally, the second difference parameter satisfies the first adjustment condition, and accordingly, the value corresponding to the second difference parameter may reach a set second threshold, and the second threshold may be the same as or different from the first threshold.

Specifically, for example, the number of keyboard lights in a controllable area of a certain generation or model of keyboard currently used by the electronic device is obtained from the BIOS, and if the difference between the number of keyboard lights and the number of keyboard lights in the area in the keyboard light effect control logic in the EC reaches the second threshold, the number of corresponding keyboard lights in the light effect control logic is updated according to the number of keyboard lights in the performance parameter, otherwise, the number of keyboard lights is not updated.

In this embodiment, the corresponding control parameter in the target control logic is updated according to the performance parameter in the input parameter or the target data only when the adjustment condition is satisfied, so that frequent updating of the corresponding control parameter in the target control logic can be avoided, and the filtering of the corresponding control parameter update event does not result in an obvious difference in control effect because the control parameter update event filtered based on the adjustment condition is only a small-amplitude update of the control parameter.

In an optional embodiment of the present application, the processing method may further include the following processing:

and storing the updated target control logic into the second hardware component so as to control the target hardware to execute corresponding operation according to the updated target control logic through the second hardware component when the electronic equipment is in a preset running state.

The predetermined running state may be, but is not limited to, a restart state of the electronic device, or a shutdown state, a restart state, and the like of the target application process.

In this embodiment, after the target control logic (for example, the control parameter or the control flow in the target control logic) is updated according to the input parameter or the performance parameter corresponding to the configuration parameter of the target hardware, the updated target control logic is stored in the second hardware component, for example, the EC, and subsequently, when the electronic device is in the above states of restarting the device, shutting down/restarting the target application process, and the like, the target hardware is controlled by the second hardware component to execute the corresponding operation according to the updated target control logic, for example, the control keyboard performs light effect control according to the updated light effect control logic.

outputting the content matched with the corresponding operation executed by the third target hardware on a display interface of the target application process; or outputting the content matched with the corresponding operation executed by the fourth target hardware on the display interface of the target application process.

Specifically, when the second hardware component controls the target hardware to execute corresponding operations based on the target control logic, such as the EC controls the keyboard to execute the operations of adjusting the brightness of the keyboard light and adjusting the light effect mode based on the keyboard light effect control logic, the content matched with the operations of the target hardware may be synchronously output on the display interface of the target application process in the upper layer software, and optionally, a motion picture matched with the operations of the target hardware may be specifically displayed and output or an operation simulation process may be realized by displaying and outputting the motion picture or the display output based on interface rendering, so as to realize the display and output for synchronizing the operations of the target hardware on the display interface of the target application process.

Still taking the keyboard light effect control as an example, referring to fig. 3, in the operation process of controlling the keyboard to perform keyboard light brightness control, color control, light effect animation control and the like based on the light effect control logic, a virtual keyboard is synchronously displayed on the display interface of the target application process, and the corresponding keyboard light effect is synchronously rendered on the virtual keyboard.

In the prior art, when the light effect control of the physical keyboard is performed based on a software mode, a picture with the same layout as that of the keyboard is specifically rendered on a software UI, the color of the picture is changed through a light effect algorithm, and points are taken at a certain frequency to set information such as the current color and brightness of each LED lamp in the physical keyboard, so as to realize the keyboard light effect control. In the application, when the light effect control of the entity keyboard is realized, the control parameter setting and the algorithm processing based on software are not relied on, the parameters are only transmitted to the EC from the UI, and the keyboard control is realized by the EC, so that the time delay problem can be solved, the CPU/GPU resources can not be occupied with other processes, the synchronization between the light effect of the entity keyboard and the simulation light effect of a software interface is ensured, the stability of the light effect of the UI and the entity keyboard is ensured, and the generation of blocking and light effect errors is avoided.
