Description

Method for cooperatively waking up first electronic equipment and communication system

Technical Field

The present application relates to the field of electronic technologies, and in particular, to a method and a communication system for cooperatively waking up a first electronic device.

Background

Some electronic devices are centered on user interaction in many situations, such as homes, meeting rooms, classrooms, etc., for various reasons (e.g., large display screen, many facing users, etc.). For example, in a home situation, the smart tv becomes a center for user interaction. For example, after the doorbell is clicked, a reminding message of the doorbell is displayed on the display screen of the smart television, and even a picture shot by a camera related to the doorbell is also displayed. As another example, other users may have video calls with the user's smart television via the smart device. Thus, the user can do other things while making a video call. The user experience in aspects of convenience, visual perception and the like is better. However, if it is to be ensured that the smart tv can respond to the demand quickly or even instantly, the smart tv needs to be in an operating state all the time. Under the working state, the intelligent television can quickly or even instantly meet various requirements such as video calls and the like. Therefore, the method brings larger power consumption, brings certain economic loss to users, and also does not accord with the concept of energy conservation and emission reduction. If the power consumption of the smart television is guaranteed to be low, the smart television cannot be enabled to respond quickly or even instantly when other users carry out video calls, ring doorbells and the like. Therefore, it is desirable to balance the power consumption reduction and the fast or even instant response of the first electronic device, such as a smart tv.

Disclosure of Invention

In order to solve the above technical problem, the present application provides a method and a communication system for cooperatively waking up a first electronic device. The technical scheme provided by the application can give consideration to reducing power consumption and quick even instant response, or can well balance the requirement of reducing the power consumption of the first electronic equipment and the requirement of quick even instant response of the first electronic equipment, and improve user experience. Therefore, the first electronic device and the second electronic device can be used more economically, the concept of energy conservation and emission reduction is met, and meanwhile, the quick and even instant response of various requirements can be still met, namely, the convenience of users is met.

In order to achieve the technical purpose, the embodiment of the application provides the following technical solutions:

in a first aspect, a communication method is provided and applied to a communication system. The communication method is used for cooperatively waking up first electronic equipment; the communication system comprises a first electronic device, a second electronic device, a first server and a second server; the duration of the communication connection between the second electronic equipment and the second server is longer than the duration of the communication connection between the first electronic equipment and the first server; the first server is used for providing a call under the first application; the second server is used for storing the awakening device of the first electronic device as a second electronic device; the first electronic device is in a low power consumption state; a process of a first application on a first electronic device is killed. The method comprises the following steps: the first server receives a first call request of a third electronic device under a first application, wherein the first call request is used for calling the first electronic device; the first server sends a second call request to the first electronic equipment through the first application; within a first preset duration of sending the second call request, the first server does not receive a response of the first electronic device through the first application; the first server sends a first message to the second server; the first message is used for indicating to wake up the first electronic equipment; the second server sends a second message to the second electronic equipment; the second message is used for indicating the second electronic equipment to wake up the first electronic equipment; the second electronic equipment sends a wake-up message to the first electronic equipment through a pre-established communication connection; after receiving the wake-up message, the first electronic device wakes up, and the first electronic device automatically starts the process of the first application and logs in.

That is, on the one hand, the smart tv may enter the low power consumption state according to a user instruction or automatically. For example, when the user does not use the smart television, the remote controller may be used to control the smart television to enter a low power consumption state (for example, when the smart television is turned off, the television is still connected with a power supply), so as to save power consumption. For another example, when the smart television does not receive the instruction within the preset time length D after executing a certain instruction, and the smart television does not execute a specific task (e.g., playing a video, etc.) within the preset time length D, the smart television may automatically enter a low power consumption state to save power consumption. On the other hand, the second electronic device which is powered on for a long time (i.e. is in an operating state for a long time and can keep a communication connection with the first server for a long time) can be selected as the wake-up device of the first electronic device. Therefore, when the first electronic device is in a low power consumption state, the first electronic device can be awakened through the second electronic device. Therefore, when the first server calls the first electronic device when the first electronic device is in the low-power-consumption state, the first electronic device can be awakened through the second server and the second electronic device, and the call request of the first electronic device can be responded. Therefore, the technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the application can give consideration to both power consumption reduction and quick and even instant response, or can well balance the requirement for reducing the power consumption of the first electronic device and the requirement for quick and even instant response of the first electronic device, so that the user experience is improved. Therefore, the first electronic device and the second electronic device can be used more economically, the concept of energy conservation and emission reduction is met, and meanwhile, the quick and even instant response of various requirements can be still met, namely, the convenience of users is met.

It should be noted that, after the first server sends the push message to the first electronic device, the first server does not stop sending the call request to the first electronic device through the first application, but continues sending the call request to the first electronic device through the first application. In some examples, when the first electronic device is in an operating state and a push application or a push process is running, the user may be notified that the third electronic device is calling the first electronic device through the push message, and the first electronic device may quickly start the first application through the push message, or the first electronic device may automatically pull up the first application according to the push message, so that the first call request may be quickly responded.

Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a system architecture of an application scenario provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 1, the system architecture includes a first electronic device 100, an application server 200, and a third electronic device 400. Communication connections can be established between the first electronic device 100 and the application server 200, and between the third electronic device 400 and the application server 200 through one or more networks. The one or more networks include at least one wireless network and may also include at least one wired network. The wireless network may be implemented using any known wireless network communication protocol, such as wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi), any cellular communication protocol (e.g., 2G/3G/4G/5G), and so on. The wired network described above may be implemented using any known wired network communication protocol, such as ethernet, universal Serial Bus (USB), FIREWIRE (FIREWIRE), etc.

Alternatively, the application server 200 may integrate a push (push) service function, and the first electronic device 100 may integrate a push service receiving function. For example, the first electronic device 100 runs with a push service or a push process.

Optionally, the system architecture may further include a push server 300 in addition to the application server 200. The application server 200 may send a push message to the first electronic device 100 through the push server 300. The push server 300 may function the same as the push service integrated with the application server 200. The first electronic device 100 may integrate a function of receiving a push service. For example, the first electronic device 100 runs with a push service or a push process.

Optionally, the system architecture may further include a smart home server 600. The communication initiated by the third electronic device 400 to the first electronic device 100 may sequentially pass through the third electronic device 400, the application server 200, and the smart home server 600, and finally reach the first electronic device 100. Accordingly, the communication initiated by the first electronic device 100 to the third electronic device 400 may sequentially pass through the first electronic device 100, the smart home server 600, the application server 200, and finally reach the third electronic device 400.

The various aspects of the present application may be freely combined unless otherwise specified. The technical scheme after the free combination is also in the scope of the application.

Illustratively, the first electronic device 100 may be a smart home device such as a smart television (e.g., a smart screen), on which a plurality of applications may be installed to provide various functions or services for a user. Illustratively, the third electronic device 400 may be a smartphone, a tablet, a wearable electronic device, a smart home device such as a smart doorbell, and the like. The third electronic device 400 may also be another electronic device. For example, a VoIP (voice over internet protocol) application (e.g., a connect-through application) is installed on each of the first electronic device 100 and the third electronic device 400. The network call application can provide video call service for the user, and can also provide audio call service for the user. For example, the first electronic device 100 may also install a smart home application (e.g., a smart life application, a doorbell application, etc.). Optionally, the first electronic device 100 may be installed with both a network call application (e.g., a smart phone application) and a smart home application (e.g., a smart life application, a doorbell application, etc.).

In a first application scenario, a user may use the web-phone application 101 on the first electronic device 100 to implement a video call or an audio call with the third electronic device 400. The following description will be made by taking a video call service as an example. In this scenario, the application server 200 in fig. 1 may be specifically a network call server, and provides a video call service or an audio call service for the first electronic device 100. The third electronic device 400 may specifically be a call terminal used by the other party; such as a smart phone, a smart television, a tablet computer, etc. Then, the user may establish a video call connection with the third electronic device 400 through the web call application 101 installed in the first electronic device 100, via the application server 200, or via the smart home server 600 and the application server 200, to perform a video call.

For example, in the case that the first electronic device 100 runs a push (push) application or a push (push) process in the case that the first electronic device 100 calls the first electronic device 100, if the first electronic device 100 does not open the web-talk application 101, or exits the web-talk application 101, or kills the process of the (kill) web-talk application 101, the application server 400 may notify the first electronic device 100 instantly through a push (push) service that the third electronic device 400 is calling the first electronic device 100. That is, in a case where the user does not open the web call application 101 on the first electronic device 100, since the first electronic device 100 runs a push service or a push process, the first electronic device 100 may still receive the call request from the application server 200. Wherein, the push service can actively push the message to the first electronic device 100. The user can see the push message notification in the notification bar of the first electronic device 100 (at this time, the first electronic device 100 may be in an unlocked state or a locked state). After clicking the message content in the notification bar, the user can start the corresponding application and enter the corresponding page in the application. Or, after receiving the push message, the first electronic device 100 automatically starts an application corresponding to the push message, and enters a corresponding page. Or, after receiving the push message, the first electronic device 100 may automatically start the network call application and enter a call interface of the video call. Thus, when the user selects to answer, the first server 100 can establish a video call connection with the first electronic device 100 to perform a video call. The push service may be provided by a push server 300 (not shown in fig. 2) other than the application server 200, or may be provided by a push service function integrated with the application server 200.

In a second application scenario, as shown in fig. 2, the first electronic device 100 is installed with an intelligent home application 102 (e.g., smart life application), the third electronic device 400 is an intelligent home device, and the first electronic device 100 and the third electronic device 400 may cooperate or be linked. For example, the first electronic device 100 is a smart television. The third electronic device 400 is an intelligent doorbell that works cooperatively or otherwise in conjunction with the first electronic device 100. The smart home server 600 may or may not integrate the function of the application server. Alternatively, the third electronic device 400 may be an electronic device such as a smart camera. In the following, the third electronic device 400 is taken as an intelligent doorbell, communicates with the intelligent home server 600, and does not communicate with the intelligent home server 600 after passing through the application server, and the first electronic device 100 is taken as an example of an intelligent electronic device.

Illustratively, when a guest triggers a doorbell function of the smart doorbell (e.g., presses the smart doorbell), the smart doorbell may send a video call to the smart tv through the smart home server 600, and the smart tv displays the video call picture. The owner can choose to answer the video call, and then can see the outdoor picture captured by the camera integrated with the intelligent doorbell or the connected camera on the intelligent television in real time. Of course, after receiving the video call sent by the smart home server, the smart television can also directly display the outdoor picture captured by the camera integrated with the smart doorbell or the connected camera in real time.

If when a guest triggers a doorbell function of the smart doorbell (for example, presses the smart doorbell), the smart television does not start the smart home application 102 (or the doorbell application), or quits the smart home application 102 (or the doorbell application), or kills a process of the smart home application 102 (or the doorbell application), and when the smart television starts a push (push) application or a push (push) process, the smart home server 600 can inform the smart television in time through a push (push) service, and the doorbell function of the smart doorbell is being triggered. That is, in a case where the user does not open the smart home application 102 (or the doorbell application) on the smart tv, the smart tv may still receive the push message since the smart tv runs the push service or the push process. After receiving the push message, the smart television automatically starts the smart home application 102 (or the doorbell application), and displays a video call interface, or directly displays an outdoor picture captured in real time. Therefore, the user can acquire the information outdoors through the intelligent television in real time and conveniently. The push service may be provided by the push server 300 (not shown in fig. 2) other than the smart home server 600, or may be provided by a push service function integrated with the smart home server 600.

It should be noted that, for both the first scenario and the second scenario, generally, the first electronic device 100 can receive a communication request or a cooperative work request only when the CPU of the first electronic device 100 is in a working state (the request may be in the form of a push message, or in the form of a request in a corresponding application). In order to ensure that the first electronic device 100 responds to the demand quickly or even instantly, the first electronic device 100 needs to be in an operating state all the time, which may result in high power consumption.

When the user does not use the first electronic device 100, the user may turn off the first electronic device 100; alternatively, the first electronic device 100 may hibernate when the first electronic device 100 is not used for a longer period of time. However, when the first electronic device 100 is in the off state or the sleep state, the CPU of the first electronic device 100 is not in the operating state (e.g., the CPU of the first electronic device 100 is in the low power consumption state) even though the first electronic device 100 is still powered on. At this time, if the third electronic device 400 sends a communication request (for example, a call initiation request) or a cooperative work request (for example, an intelligent doorbell cooperative work initiation request) to the first electronic device 100 through the application server or the smart home server, no matter whether the application server or the smart home server sends a request in a corresponding application (for example, a network call application or an intelligent home application) to the first electronic device 100 or sends a push message to the first electronic device 100 through the application server 200, the smart home server 600 or the push server 300, the sent message cannot reach the first electronic device 100, and immediate feedback or response cannot be provided for the user. Thus, although the power consumption of the first electronic device 100 is reduced, the first electronic device 100 cannot respond to the request of the third electronic device 400 quickly or even instantaneously. Likewise, when the user actively transmits a request to the third electronic device 400 through the first electronic device 100, the first electronic device 100 cannot respond instantly.

In order to take power consumption reduction and fast or even instant response into consideration, or balance between power consumption reduction and fast or even instant response, the embodiment of the present application provides a method for cooperatively waking up a first electronic device through a second electronic device. The method provided by the embodiment of the application is based on the following system.

As shown in fig. 1, in addition to the first electronic device 100, the application server 200 and the third electronic device 400, the system corresponding to the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application further includes a second electronic device 500 and an intelligent home server 600. When the user does not use the first electronic device 100, the first electronic device 100 may be in a low power consumption state. In this low power consumption state, the CPU of the first electronic device 100 enters a wait for interrupt (WFI) state. At this time, the first electronic device 100 closes the application. It should be noted that when the first electronic device 100 is in the low power consumption state, the wireless communication module (e.g., wi-Fi module, bluetooth module, etc.) of the first electronic device 100 is in the working state. Also, the first electronic device 100 and the second electronic device 500 may establish a connection through a wireless communication protocol. For example, the first electronic device 100 establishes a Wi-Fi connection, or a bluetooth connection (e.g., a classic bluetooth connection or a bluetooth low energy connection), with the second electronic device 500.

Alternatively, the application server 200 and the smart home server 600 in fig. 1 may be integrated into one server. The integrated server has the functions of the application server 200 and the smart home server 600. Specifically, the integrated server can run the smart home service and the application service in a software application mode.

Optionally, the system corresponding to the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application may further include a push server 300. The push server 300 is arranged outside the application server 200 and the smart home server 600.

Alternatively, the push server 300, the application server 200 and the smart home server 600 may be integrated into one server. The integrated server has the functions of the push server 300, the application server 200 and the smart home server 600. Specifically, the integrated server can run push service, smart home service and application service in a software application mode.

Optionally, the push server 300, the application server 200, and the smart home server 600 may be integrated into any two servers; the functionality of the unreserved server may be integrated in any of the two servers. Specifically, any one of the two integrated servers can run the service corresponding to the unreserved server in a software application mode. For example, the two integrated servers are the application server 200 and the smart home server 600; the functions of the push server 300 may be integrated in the application server 200 or the smart home server 600; specifically, the function of the push server is executed in the application server 200 or the smart home server 600 in the form of software. For another example, the two integrated servers are the push server 300 and the application server 200; the functions of the intelligent home server are integrated in the application server; specifically, the functions of the smart home server are run in the application server 200 in the form of software.

Optionally, a system corresponding to the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application may not include the push server 300. The application server 200 or the smart home server 600 does not integrate the push service function; the first electronic device 100 may not run the push service or the push process.

Optionally, the system corresponding to the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application may include only any one of the smart home server 600 and the application server 200. The smart home server 600 or the application server 200 does not need to be integrated with a push server. The first electronic device 100 does not need to run a push service or a push process.

In the method for waking up a first electronic device cooperatively through a second electronic device provided in the embodiment of the present application, the second electronic device with lower power consumption and maintaining a communication connection with a server for a long time is preset, a binding relationship (also referred to as a mapping relationship or an association relationship) is established with the first electronic device with higher power consumption, and the binding relationship is stored in the server (for example, an application server and/or an intelligent home server, or a server integrated by any two of the application server, the intelligent home server and a push server); when the first electronic equipment is in a low power consumption state, the first electronic equipment can still keep wireless communication connection with the second electronic equipment; when the third electronic device sends a communication request such as a call or a cooperative work request to the first electronic device through the server, after the server still does not successfully establish a communication connection with the first electronic device after a preset time period, the server may send the communication request such as the call or the cooperative work request to the third electronic device; the third electronic device wakes up the first electronic device through wireless communication connection between the third electronic device and the first electronic device, so that the first electronic device starts corresponding applications (such as a network call application, an intelligent home application and the like) and establishes communication with the third electronic device through the server; or after the first electronic device is awakened, the push message may be received, and then the corresponding application (for example, a network call application or a smart home application) is started, and then communication is established with the third electronic device through the server. Therefore, the power consumption of the first electronic equipment can be effectively reduced, the response time of the first electronic equipment to the requirement can be shortened, and quick or even instant response is realized. In addition, since the second electronic device itself is kept in communication connection with the server for a long time, the power consumption of the first electronic device and the second electronic device as a whole is also reduced. Therefore, the system is economical and practical for users, and saves energy and reduces emission.

In a specific implementation, the second electronic device is not limited to the above example, and may further include, but is not limited to, one of the following: intelligent audio amplifier, intelligent air conditioner, smart jack, intelligent lighting apparatus, intelligent electric heater, router etc.. For the second electronic device, generally speaking, it is sufficient to maintain a communication connection with a server (e.g., a smart home server) for a long time. Further, an electronic device with lower power consumption than that of the first electronic device is preferable as the second electronic device. Generally, the electronic device in the place where the user is located (e.g., home), which has a long communication connection with the server and low or even lowest power consumption, may be selected as the second electronic device.

In addition, the second electronic device may be modified according to one or more of different time factors (e.g., season), different location factors (e.g., location), local policy factors (e.g., local heating factors), and user habit factors. For example, in Nanjing of China, the summer is hotter and the winter is cooler; then in summer, the second electronic device may preferably be a smart air conditioner; and in winter, the second electronic device may preferably be an intelligent electric heater because Nanjing does not perform central heating. Optionally, the change to the second electronic device may be automatically changed or may be manually changed. The automatic change can be performed at regular intervals, and the electronic device which has a long-time communication connection with the server and is low in power consumption or lowest in power consumption is determined to be the second electronic device through negotiation between the intelligent devices in the place (for example, in the home). Optionally, the modification of the second electronic device may be both automatic modification and manual modification.

Therefore, the technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the application can give consideration to both power consumption reduction and quick and even instant response, or can well balance between power consumption reduction and quick and even instant response, and improve user experience. Therefore, the first electronic device and the second electronic device can be used more economically, the concept of energy conservation and emission reduction is met, meanwhile, the quick and even instant response of various requirements can be met, the convenience of a user is guaranteed, and the user experience is improved.

Fig. 3 is a schematic structural diagram of a first electronic device 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 3, the first electronic device 100 may include a processor 110, an external memory interface 120, an internal memory 121, a Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface 130, a power module 140, an antenna 150, a wireless communication module 160, an audio module 170, a speaker 170A, a microphone 170B, a microphone 170C, an earphone interface 170D, a sensor module 180, buttons 190, a motor 191, an indicator 192, a camera 193, a display 194, and the like.

It is to be understood that the structure illustrated in fig. 3 does not constitute a specific limitation of the first electronic device 100. In other embodiments of the present application, the first electronic device 100 may include more or fewer components than shown, or combine certain components, or split certain components, or a different arrangement of components. The components shown in fig. 3 may be implemented in hardware, software, or a combination of software and hardware.

Processor 110 may include one or more processing units, such as: the processor 110 may include a Central Processing Unit (CPU), a Microcontroller (MCU), a modem processor, a Graphics Processing Unit (GPU), an Image Signal Processor (ISP), a video codec, a Digital Signal Processor (DSP), a baseband processor, and/or a neural-Network Processing Unit (NPU), among others. The different processing units may be separate devices or may be integrated into one or more processors.

A memory may also be provided in processor 110 for storing instructions and data. In some embodiments, the memory in the processor 110 is a cache memory. The memory may hold instructions or data that have just been used or recycled by the processor 110. If the processor 110 needs to use the instruction or data again, it can be called directly from the memory. Avoiding repeated accesses reduces the latency of the processor 110, thereby increasing the efficiency of the system.

The internal memory 121 may be used to store computer-executable program code, which includes instructions. The internal memory 121 may include a program storage area and a data storage area. The storage program area may store an operating system, an application program (such as a sound playing function, an image playing function, etc.) required by at least one function, and the like. The storage data area may store data (such as audio data, a phone book, etc.) created during the use of the first electronic device 100, and the like. In addition, the internal memory 121 may include a high-speed random access memory, and may further include a nonvolatile memory, such as at least one magnetic disk storage device, a flash memory device, a universal flash memory (UFS), and the like.

Specifically, when the CPU of the first electronic device 100 is in an operating state, the CPU executes various functional applications and data processing of the first electronic device 100 by executing instructions stored in the internal memory 121 and/or instructions stored in a memory provided in the processor. For example, the CPU runs an operating system stored in the internal memory 121, and runs a voice over internet protocol (Voip) application (e.g., a connection-through application) and a smart home application (e.g., a smart life application) stored in the internal memory 121.

When the first electronic device 100 does not receive the instruction again within the preset time length D after the instruction is executed, and the first electronic device 100 does not execute a specific task (e.g., playing a video, etc.), the first electronic device 100 may automatically enter a low power consumption mode (which may also be referred to as a low power consumption state). Alternatively, the first electronic device 100 may enter the low power consumption mode according to an instruction of the user. When the first electronic device 100 enters the low power consumption mode, the CPU of the first electronic device 100 enters the WFI state, and at this time, most of the operating system and the application programs are no longer run by the CPU of the first electronic device 100. Such as a web-phone application, a smart home application, etc., is no longer run by the CPU of the first electronic device 100. At this time, the power consumption when the CPU is in the WFI state is smaller than when the CPU is in the operating state.

Optionally, the processor 110 includes a CPU and MCU. When the CPU of the first electronic device 100 is in the WFI state, the MCU of the first electronic device 100 is in an active state or a low power consumption state, and controls the wireless communication module 160 of the first electronic device 100. Preferably, when the first electronic device 100 is powered off or in a sleep mode, the MCU and/or the wireless communication module 160 operates in a low power consumption mode, that is, the power consumption of the MCU and/or the wireless communication module 160 is smaller than that of a normal operating state. The MCU and the wireless communication module 160 may be two components; i.e., the MCU is an external component with respect to the wireless communication module 160. Alternatively, the MCU may also be integrated in the wireless communication module 160, i.e. the MCU is a built-in component of the wireless communication module 160; the processor 110 does not include a MCU at this time.

For example, the MCU controls the Wi-Fi module in the wireless communication module 160 to be in a power-on state; and, the first electronic device 100 establishes a connection with the second electronic device 500 through the Wi-Fi module, so that the subsequent second electronic device 500 wakes up the first electronic device 100 through the Wi-Fi connection. Optionally, when the first electronic device 100 is powered off or in a sleep mode, the CPU is powered off, the MCU and/or the Wi-Fi module is in a low power consumption state, and the first electronic device 100 further establishes a connection with a server (for example, an application server and/or a smart home server, a server in which any two of the application server, the smart home server, and a push server are integrated) through the Wi-Fi module, so as to subsequently and quickly or even immediately respond to a communication request or a cooperative work request sent by the server. That is, after the first electronic device 100 is awakened, the video call request or the cooperative work request sent by the server is responded without re-establishing the connection with the server.

Optionally, the RAM of the first electronic device 100 may be in a self-refresh, low power consumption mode. That is, other components of the first electronic device 100 may be powered down except that the CPU is in the WFI state, the MCU is in the working state, and the Wi-Fi module in the wireless communication module 160 is in the powered up state. If the first electronic device 100 is a flat panel television in a smart television, the overall power consumption of the first electronic device 100 is low, and the requirement that the passive standby power of the flat panel television is less than or equal to 0.50W in section 4.4 of national standard GB24850-2013 of the people's republic of china can be met.

The Wi-Fi module is taken as an example for illustration, and besides the Wi-Fi module, a short-range wireless communication module such as a bluetooth (bluetooth) module, a zigbee (zigbee) module, etc. may be used for establishing the short-range wireless communication connection between the first electronic device 100 and the second electronic device 500. The bluetooth module may be a classic bluetooth module, and may also be bluetooth low-energy (BLE). Alternatively, any two or more of the above-mentioned short-range wireless communication modules may also be combined to establish a short-range wireless communication connection between the first electronic device 100 and the second electronic device 500.

In some embodiments, processor 110 may include one or more interfaces. The interface may include an integrated circuit (I2C) interface, an integrated circuit built-in audio (I2S) interface, a Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) interface, a universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter (UART) interface, a mobile industry processor interface (mobile industry processor interface, MIPI), a general-purpose-input/output (GPIO) interface, a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) interface, and/or a Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface, etc.

It should be understood that the interfacing relationship between the modules illustrated in the embodiment of the present application is only an illustration, and does not constitute a limitation on the structure of the first electronic device 100. In other embodiments of the present application, the first electronic device 100 may also adopt different interface connection manners or a combination of multiple interface connection manners in the above embodiments.

The power module 140 is used to supply power to other components of the first electronic device 100, such as the processor 110, the internal memory 121, the display screen 194, the audio module 170, the sensor module 180, and the like.

The wireless communication function of the first electronic device 100 may be implemented by the antenna 150, the wireless communication module 160, a modem processor, a baseband processor, and the like.

The wireless communication module 160 may provide a solution for wireless communication applied to the first electronic device 100, including Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) (e.g., wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) networks), bluetooth (bluetooth, BT), global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), frequency Modulation (FM), near Field Communication (NFC), infrared (IR), and the like. The wireless communication module 160 may be one or more devices integrating at least one communication processing module. The wireless communication module 160 receives electromagnetic waves via the antenna 150, performs frequency modulation and filtering processing on electromagnetic wave signals, and transmits the processed signals to the processor 110. Wireless communication module 160 may also receive signals to be transmitted from processor 110, frequency modulate them, amplify them, and convert them into electromagnetic waves via antenna 150 for radiation.

The first electronic device 100 implements a display function through the GPU, the display screen 194, and the CPU. The GPU is a microprocessor for image processing, and is connected to the display screen 194 and the CPU. The GPU is used to perform mathematical and geometric calculations for graphics rendering. The processor 110 may include one or more GPUs that execute program instructions to generate or alter display information.

The display screen 194 is used to display images, video, and the like. The display screen 194 includes a display panel. The display panel may adopt a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), an organic light-emitting diode (OLED), an active-matrix organic light-emitting diode (active-matrix organic light-emitting diode, AMOLED), a flexible light-emitting diode (FLED), a miniature, a Micro-oeld, a quantum dot light-emitting diode (QLED), and the like. In some embodiments, the first electronic device 100 may include 1 or N display screens 194, N being a positive integer greater than 1.

The first electronic device 100 may implement a photographing function through the ISP, the camera 193, the video codec, the GPU, the display screen 194, the CPU, and the like.

The ISP is used to process the data fed back by the camera 193. For example, when a photo is taken, the shutter is opened, light is transmitted to the camera photosensitive element through the lens, the optical signal is converted into an electrical signal, and the camera photosensitive element transmits the electrical signal to the ISP for processing and converting into an image visible to naked eyes. The ISP can also carry out algorithm optimization on the noise, brightness and skin color of the image. The ISP can also optimize parameters such as exposure, color temperature and the like of a shooting scene. In some embodiments, the ISP may be provided in camera 193.

The camera 193 is used to capture still images or video. The object generates an optical image through the lens and projects the optical image to the photosensitive element. The photosensitive element may be a Charge Coupled Device (CCD) or a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) phototransistor. The photosensitive element converts the optical signal into an electrical signal, and then transmits the electrical signal to the ISP to be converted into a digital image signal. And the ISP outputs the digital image signal to the DSP for processing. The DSP converts the digital image signal into an image signal in a standard RGB, YUV and other formats. In some embodiments, the first electronic device 100 may include 1 or N cameras 193, N being a positive integer greater than 1.

The external memory interface 120 may be used to connect an external memory card, such as a Micro SD card, to extend the storage capability of the first electronic device 100. The external memory card communicates with the processor 110 through the external memory interface 120 to implement a data storage function. For example, files such as music, video, etc. are saved in an external memory card.

The first electronic device 100 can implement an audio function through the audio module 170, the speaker 170A, the receiver 170B, the microphone 170C, the earphone interface 170D, the CPU, and the like. Such as music playing, recording, etc.

The keys 190 include a power-on key, a volume key, and the like. The keys 190 may be mechanical keys. Or may be touch keys. The smart terminal may receive a key input, and generate a key signal input related to user setting and function control of the smart terminal.

Regarding the automatic initialization step, it may be automatically initialized or automatically updated according to the above-mentioned factors. The manual initialization step may be performed by the first electronic device itself or by a control device of the first electronic device. The manual initialization procedure will be described below by taking an example of execution of the control device of the first electronic device. In the following description, in order to better clarify the manual initialization step, the first electronic device 100 is an intelligent tv, the second electronic device 500 is an intelligent speaker, and the intelligent tv performs a video call service.

Exemplarily, fig. 5 is a schematic flowchart illustrating a process of setting a second electronic device as a wake-up device of a first electronic device in a method for cooperatively waking up the first electronic device according to an embodiment of the present application. Exemplarily, fig. 6 is a schematic flowchart of a process for cooperatively waking up a first electronic device according to an embodiment of the present application.

It should be noted that, in fig. 5 and fig. 6, the first electronic device is an intelligent television, and the second electronic device is an intelligent sound box.

For example, as shown in fig. 5, in the method for cooperatively waking up the first electronic device provided in the embodiment of the present application, the setting of the flow for waking up the device may include:

s500, receiving a first operation by control equipment of the intelligent television, wherein the first operation is used for setting the intelligent sound box as awakening equipment of the intelligent television.

The control device of the smart television can be an electronic device such as a smart phone, a tablet personal computer, a wearable device, other smart home devices and the like, and can also be the smart television. The awakening device of the smart television, which may also be referred to as a second electronic device, is an electronic device that is capable of awakening the smart television when the smart television is in a low power consumption state, so that the smart television is switched from the low power consumption state to a working state, and the smart television establishes or recovers a communication connection with the server. Illustratively, the wake-up device of the smart television can wake up the smart television when the smart television is in a low power consumption state, so that the CPU of the smart television is switched to a working state from the state of the WFI.

Because the power consumption of the smart television in the working state is relatively large, when a user does not use the smart television, or the smart television does not receive the input of the user within a preset time period and does not execute a specific task (for example, playing a video), the smart television automatically or according to the instruction of the user enters a low power consumption state. The user may select a smart device that has been in communication with a server (e.g., a smart home server) for a long time as a wake-up device for the smart tv. Further, a smart device with lower power consumption compared with that of the smart television can be selected as the wake-up device of the smart television while maintaining the communication connection. Such as a smart speaker.

Preferably, if the wake-up device wakes up the smart television through a short-distance communication method such as bluetooth, an electronic device (e.g., an electronic device located in the same room as the smart television) that is in communication connection with a server (e.g., a smart home server) for a long time and is located within a certain distance range of the smart television may be selected. For example, the smart television is located in a living room, and a smart sound box of the living room is selected as the awakening device of the smart television. Certainly, the smart sound box in the living room is not necessarily used as the control device of the smart television in the living room. The secondary router can also be used as the control device of the intelligent television in the living room. Of course, the selection may be made according to the preference of the user. The embodiment of the application does not limit the selection of the awakening equipment of the smart television.

Illustratively, a user may set a wake-up device of a smart tv through a first application (e.g., a smart home application, a smart life application, etc.) on a control device (e.g., a smartphone) of the smart tv. For example, a user launches a smart life application on a smartphone, which displays the device list interface 701 shown in (1) in fig. 7A. The device list interface 701 includes registered and distributed smart devices, such as a television in a living room, a television in a main bedroom, a television in a secondary bedroom, a smart speaker in the living room, and the like. In response to an operation (which may be a click, a long press, etc.) of the smart tv option 702 to add a wake-up device (e.g., a tv in a living room), the smart phone displays a control interface 703 of the smart tv as shown in (2) in fig. 7A. The user may then add the wake-up device of the smart tv using the setup control 704 of the wake-up device in the control interface 703. In response to operation of the settings control 704, the smartphone displays an interface 705 as shown in (3) in fig. 7A. Interface 705 includes a pop-up device list 706 for the user to select the wake-up device for the smart tv. The device list 706 may include all electronic devices registered and distributed in the network, or may display electronic devices filtered according to a certain condition. For example, a device in the same room as the smart device to which the wake-up device is to be added, or a device that is displayed online, or a device that is displayed with low power consumption, etc. The device list 706 may display one or more electronic devices in sequence, in a comprehensive ranking of long online and low power consumption by default (not shown in fig. 7A). The electronic device at the upper position is displayed as recommended by priority. The device list 706 may also display one or more electronic devices in sequence according to the filtered conditions after changing the filtering conditions (not shown in fig. 7A). Likewise, the electronic device at the upper position is displayed as being preferentially recommended. Generally, a user can select a smart device which is online for a long time and has low power consumption as a wake-up device of the smart television. For example, the first operation may be selecting a smart speaker in the living room as a wake-up device for a smart tv in the living room. In response to the first operation, the smartphone may display an interface 707 as shown in (4) in fig. 7A. Interface 707 includes a wake-up device that displays the smart speaker of the selected living room as a smart television. And simultaneously or later, the smart phone sends a first message to the server to inform that the smart sound box of the living room is the awakening device of the smart television of the living room.

Of course, the wake-up device may also be set in other setting manners, and the specific setting manner is not limited in this embodiment of the application.

S501, the control device of the smart television sends a first message to a server to inform that the smart sound box is a wake-up device of the smart television.

Illustratively, the first message includes an identification of the smart tv (i.e., an identification of the awakened device), and an identification of the smart sound box (i.e., an identification of the awakened device).

For example, the server may be an application server and/or an intelligent home server, and may also be a server in which any two of the application server, the intelligent home server, and the push server are integrated.

S502, receiving the first message, and recording the intelligent sound box as the awakening equipment of the intelligent television by the server.

Illustratively, after the server receives the first message, the identifier of the awakened device (i.e., the identifier of the smart television) and the identifier of the awakening device (i.e., the identifier of the smart sound box) are obtained from the first message, and a binding (also referred to as an association or mapping) relationship between the smart television and the awakening device is established.

Optionally, the server further needs to obtain the content of the wake-up message for the smart speaker to wake up the smart tv. In some embodiments, the wake-up message sent by the smart sound box may be a message containing specific content or a message including a specific format. In other embodiments, the server may further obtain the content of the wake-up message by the following method. For example, when the smart television registers and joins the network with the server, the server may receive information of the remote control command sent by the smart television. Or, the server may query information of the remote control instruction corresponding to the smart television from the network according to the brand, model, and the like of the smart television. The information of the remote control instruction corresponding to the smart television comprises instruction content for waking up the smart television, namely content of a wake-up message. The content of the wake-up message can be understood as the content of a signal sent by the remote controller after a user operates a specific key on the smart television remote controller. And when the intelligent television receives the signal sent by the remote controller, the intelligent television is switched to a working state from a low power consumption state. That is, the content of the wake-up message is the signal content corresponding to the specific key on the remote controller. In other words, when the smart sound box wakes up the smart television, a signal corresponding to a specific key of the smart television remote controller is simulated, and after the smart television receives the signal, the smart television is switched from the low power consumption state to the working state. For another example, the smart television may also actively report the content of the wake-up message to the smart home server when the wake-up device is set, or return the content of the wake-up message after receiving the request of the smart home server. The embodiment of the application does not limit the way in which the smart home server obtains the content of the wake-up message.

Further, the server records the identity of the awakened device, the identity of the awakening device, and the content of the awakening message. As shown in table 1 below, an example of the binding relationship between the smart tv and the smart speaker is stored for the server.

TABLE 1

Awakened device	Wake-up device	Content of wake-up message
			Intelligent television MAC address	Intelligent sound box MAC address	xx：xx：xx：xx

In some embodiments, after storing the binding relationship between the smart television and the smart sound box, the server may send, to the smart sound box, an identifier of the awakened device (i.e., an identifier of the smart television, which may be, for example, a MAC address or a serial number of the smart television) and a content of the awakening message, so that the smart sound box may store the identifier of the smart television in advance and the content of the awakening message corresponding to the smart television in advance. Of course, the server may also send the identifier of the awakened device and the content of the awakening message to the smart speaker at other occasions, and the sending occasion in the embodiment of the present application is not limited.

In some other embodiments, after the server sets the smart speaker as a wake-up device of the smart television, the server may further notify the smart television, and send the content of the wake-up message to the smart speaker, so that the smart speaker subsequently sends the wake-up message to wake up the smart television.

Optionally, after the smart sound box is set as the smart television wake-up device, the user may also cancel the smart sound box as the smart television wake-up device, or modify other electronic devices into the smart television wake-up device. Specifically, the above procedure of setting the wake-up device may further include:

s503, the control device of the intelligent television receives a second operation, and the second operation is used for canceling or changing the awakening device of the intelligent television.

Illustratively, the interface 707 shown in (4) of fig. 7A is one example of a setup interface for setting up a smart tv wake-up device (e.g., a smartphone). In interface 707, the user may cancel or modify the wake-up device of the smart tv by deleting control 709 or modifying control 708.

S504, the control device of the intelligent television sends a second message to the server to inform that the awakening device of the intelligent television is cancelled or changed.

Illustratively, the second message carries an identification of the smart tv (i.e. the awakened device). Optionally, the second message may also carry an identification of the smart speaker (i.e., the wake-up device before cancellation or before modification).

And S505, the server receives the second message, and deletes or changes the awakening equipment of the intelligent television.

In other embodiments, if it is detected that the modification control 708 is triggered in the interface 707 shown in (4) in fig. 7A, the control device of the smart tv displays a modification interface of the wake-up device of the smart tv, and the user selects another electronic device as a new wake-up device of the smart tv, such as selecting a router. And then, the control device of the intelligent television sends a third message to the server, so as to inform the awakening device of the intelligent television as a router. The third message carries the identity of the smart tv (i.e. the woken-up device) and the identity of the router (i.e. the changed wake-up device). Optionally, the third message may also carry an identification of the smart speaker (i.e., the wake-up device before the change).

Illustratively, after receiving the third message, the server deletes the record of the smart speaker as the awakening of the smart television, and records the binding relationship between the router and the smart television. Optionally, after receiving the third message, the server only changes the information of the wake-up device in the record; for example, the smart speaker in the record is changed to be a router.

It should be noted that S503-S505 are optional steps; not all is performed during the manual initialization step.

The following description will take the first electronic device as a smart television, the second electronic device as a smart speaker, and the third electronic device as a smart phone as an example. It should be emphasized that, in the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present application, the first electronic device is not limited to the smart television, and the third electronic device is not limited to the smart phone. The third electronic device may also be another electronic device (e.g., a smart home device such as a smart doorbell). Illustratively, the third electronic device is a smart doorbell, which may be installed or running with a web-talk application. The intelligent doorbell can be integrated or connected with a camera for collecting images in front of the intelligent doorbell. Such acquisition, illustratively, may be in real-time.

For the second electronic device, it is generally sufficient for the second electronic device to maintain a communication connection with a server (e.g., a smart home server) for a long time. Further, an electronic device with lower power consumption than that of the first electronic device is a preferable second electronic device.

Optionally, the second electronic device may wake up more smart home devices in addition to the smart television. That is, there may be multiple smart home devices that designate their wake-up devices as second electronic devices.

For example, as shown in fig. 6, a flow of the cooperative wake-up step in the method for cooperatively waking up the first electronic device provided by the embodiment of the present application may include:

s601, the network call application process in the intelligent television is killed, and the intelligent television enters a low power consumption state.

And if the network call application process in the intelligent television is killed, the intelligent television does not run the network call application.

In addition, the smart television may enter the low power consumption state according to a user instruction or automatically. For example, when the user does not use the smart television, the remote controller may be used to control the smart television to enter a low power consumption state (for example, when the smart television is turned off, the television is still connected with a power supply), so as to save power consumption. For another example, when the smart television does not receive the instruction within the preset time length D after executing a certain instruction, and the smart television does not execute a specific task (e.g., playing a video, etc.) within the preset time length D, the smart television may automatically enter a low power consumption state to save power consumption.

Optionally, the smart television does not run a push process.

Optionally, the push process of the smart tv is also killed.

Illustratively, after the smart television enters the low power consumption state, the CPU of the smart television is in the WFI state, and the CPU of the smart television enters the WFI state. At this time, most of the operating system and the application program are no longer run by the CPU of the smart television. Therefore, compared with the situation that the CPU is in the working state and the CPU is in the WFI state, the power consumption of the smart television is smaller.

Illustratively, as shown in (1) in fig. 7B, when the smart tv is in a low power consumption state, the smart tv may turn off the screen.

Illustratively, the web-talk application is a connectionless application.

S602, the network call server receives a call request sent by the smart phone through the network call application.

Illustratively, the call request includes information such as the identity of the called party, the identity of the calling party, and the type of call (e.g., video call, audio call).

S603, the network call server sends a call request to the smart television through the network call application; and within the first preset time after the call request is sent, the network call server does not receive the response of the intelligent television through the network call application.

It can be understood that the network call application (terminal side) is installed on the smart television, the corresponding network call application (server side) is also installed on the network call server, and the smart television and the network call server realize the network call service through the respective network call applications.

The smart television is in a low power consumption state, and the smart television does not run the network call application (for example, a smooth connection application), so that the smart television cannot receive a call request sent by the network call server through the network call application, and even cannot respond to the network call server through the network call application. Within the first preset time after the call request is sent, if the network call server does not receive the response of the smart television through the network call application, the network call server executes S604 or S605.

It should be noted that, if the push application or the push service is not installed in the network call server and the push service is not integrated in the operating system of the network call server, the network call server executes S605; if the push application or the push service is installed in the network call server, or the push service is integrated into the operating system of the network call server, S604 is executed.

If the smart television is in the working state and a network communication application (e.g., a smooth connection application) is running, the smart television receives the call request through the network communication application and returns a response.

It should be noted that, in the present application, running the web call application means running the web call application and the login is successful.

S604, the network call server sends a push message to the intelligent television, and the network call server does not receive the response of the intelligent television within a second preset time after the call request is sent.

Illustratively, the push message includes an identifier of the smart phone and an identifier of the network call application, so that after the smart television receives the push message, the smart television automatically opens the network call application according to the identifier of the network call application.

It should be noted that, when S604 is executed, a push service is integrated into an operating system of the network call server, or a push application or a push service is installed in the network call server, the network call server may send a push message to the smart television.

It should be noted that, after the network call server sends the push message to the smart television, the network call server does not stop sending the call request to the smart television through the network call application, but continues sending the call request to the smart television through the network call application.

If the push application or the push service is not installed in the smart television and the operating system of the smart television does not integrate the push service, the smart television cannot receive the push message and even cannot respond to the push message of the network call server.

S605, the network call server sends a first message to the intelligent home server to indicate to wake up the intelligent television.

Illustratively, the first message includes an identification of the smart tv to indicate to wake up the smart tv.

S606, the intelligent home server determines that the intelligent sound box is the awakening device of the intelligent television.

Illustratively, after receiving a first message from the network call server, the smart home server searches for a wake-up device corresponding to the smart television according to an identifier of the smart television in the first message. For example, the smart home server determines that the wake-up device corresponding to the smart television is the smart sound box according to the binding relationship shown in table 1.

S607, the smart home server sends a second message to the smart sound box, and the second message is used for indicating the smart sound box to wake up the smart television.

Illustratively, the second message includes an identification of the smart tv (i.e. an identification of the awakened device).

For example, the second message may not include the identification of the smart tv (i.e. the identification of the awakened device).

In some examples, the second message may also include wake-up information. The wake-up information may include a specific wake-up instruction; the smart television can be awakened only after receiving a specific awakening instruction. The specific wake-up instruction may be stored in the smart tv in advance.

In other examples, the smart tv (i.e., the awakened device) pre-stores an identifier of the smart speaker (i.e., the awakening device), and the smart tv wakes up only after receiving the wake-up message containing the identifier of the smart speaker.

And S608, the intelligent sound box sends a wake-up message to the intelligent television through the pre-established short-distance wireless communication connection.

In the above S601, it has been described that, when the smart television is in the low power consumption state, the MCU and/or the wireless communication module of the smart television are still in the working state.

In addition, optionally, before the smart tv performs S601, the smart tv establishes a short-range wireless communication connection (e.g., a bluetooth connection, a Wi-Fi connection, etc.) with the smart speaker. In one embodiment, after the process shown in fig. 5 is executed, the smart tv may establish a short-range wireless communication connection with the smart speaker.

Optionally, immediately after the smart tv performs S601, the smart tv establishes a short-range wireless communication connection (e.g., a bluetooth connection, a Wi-Fi connection, etc.) with the smart speaker. Thus, when S602 is executed, the smart tv has established a short-range wireless communication connection with the smart speaker.

Therefore, after receiving the second message sent by the smart home server, the smart sound box can send a wake-up message to the smart television through the short-distance wireless communication connection.

In other examples, the smart speaker may also establish a wired communication connection with the smart television. For example, the smart speaker may also establish a wired communication connection with the smart television through a cable. The embodiment of the application does not limit the communication connection mode of the intelligent sound box and the intelligent television.

And S609, after receiving the awakening message from the intelligent loudspeaker box, awakening the intelligent television, and starting the network communication application by the intelligent television.

In some examples, after the smart tv receives the wake-up message of the smart speaker, the MCU of the smart tv may send an interrupt to the CPU in the WFI low power consumption state to instruct the CPU to switch from the WFI low power consumption state to the normal operating state.

In some examples, the web-talk application may be set to an application that automatically starts after the smart tv wakes up. Then, after the CPU of the smart television is switched to a normal operating state, the smart television can automatically start the network call application.

S610, the intelligent television displays a call interface of the network communication application.

For example, the smart tv can display the call interface 711 as shown in (2) in fig. 7B without manually waking up the smart tv by the user.

S611, the smart television receives the answering instruction of the user.

For example, the user answering instruction may be an operation of a control for the user to answer a call in a call interface of the network call application, or a voice input of the user, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

And S612, the smart television sends a response of answering to the smart phone through the network call application via the network call server, and establishes call connection with the smart phone.

It should be noted that, for the method for cooperatively waking up the first electronic device provided in the embodiment of the present application, the method may not include S610-S612; that is, at S609, the first electronic device has been cooperatively awakened by the third electronic device.

Optionally, the method may also include all or part of S610-S612.

Therefore, the technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the application can give consideration to both power consumption reduction and fast even instant response, or can well balance the requirement for reducing the power consumption of the first electronic device and the requirement for fast even instant response of the first electronic device, thereby improving the user experience. Therefore, the first electronic device and the second electronic device can be used more economically, the concept of energy conservation and emission reduction is met, and meanwhile, the quick and even instant response of various requirements can be still met, namely, the convenience of users is met.

It should be noted that, in the above embodiment, a network call service between the smart television and the mobile phone is taken as an example, and a solution that when the first electronic device is in a low power consumption state, if the third electronic device wants to call the first electronic device, the first electronic device cannot maintain low power consumption and simultaneously give consideration to fast and even instant response is described.

It should be noted that the network call server and the smart home server may be integrated into one server. Illustratively, the server may be a cloud server. Optionally, the integrated server may also integrate more functions (e.g., functions of other servers).

Optionally, the network call server and the smart home server may be integrated into a server. Illustratively, the server may be a cloud server. Optionally, the integrated server may also integrate more functions (e.g., functions of other servers).

After the network call server and the intelligent home server are integrated, a communication flow between the network call server and the intelligent home server can be omitted.

Still take the first electronic device as the smart television and the third electronic device as the smart phone as an example. The method for calling the smart television by the smart phone through the network call application may also be the method or the flow shown in fig. 8. It should be emphasized that, in the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present application, the first electronic device is not limited to the smart television, and the third electronic device is not limited to the smart phone. The third electronic device may also be another electronic device (e.g., a smart home device such as a smart doorbell). Illustratively, the third electronic device is a smart doorbell, which may be installed or running with a web-talk application. The intelligent doorbell can be integrated or connected with a camera for collecting images in front of the intelligent doorbell. Such acquisition, illustratively, may be in real-time. Illustratively, the second electronic device may be a smart home server. Optionally, the smart home server may wake up more smart home devices in addition to the smart television. That is, there may be multiple smart home devices that designate their wake-up devices as smart home servers.

As shown in fig. 8, the method may include:

S801-S802: are respectively the same as S601-S602; please refer to the description of S601-S602; and will not be described in detail herein.

S803: in the network communication application, the intelligent television is not on line.

Illustratively, after the smart television runs the web call application and the user of the web call application logs in successfully, the web call application on the web call server displays that the smart television is online; when the smart television does not run the network call application, or when the smart television runs the network call application but does not successfully log in, the network call application on the network call server may display that the smart television is not online.

After the network call application process on the smart television is killed and the smart television enters a low power consumption state (for example, power off), the network call application on the network call server displays that the smart television is not online.

Illustratively, in the low power consumption state, the smart television is still connected with the power supply. Optionally, in the low power consumption state, part of the circuits or components (such as the MCU and the short-range wireless communication module) of the smart tv are powered on, and the other circuits or components are not powered on.

S804: the network call server sends a first message to the intelligent home server for indicating to awaken the intelligent television.

S805: and the intelligent home server sends a wake-up message to the intelligent television through the pre-established short-distance wireless communication connection.

In the above S801, it is stated that, when the smart tv is in the low power consumption state, the MCU and/or the wireless communication module of the smart tv are still in the working state.

In addition, optionally, before the smart tv performs S801, the smart tv establishes a short-range wireless communication connection (e.g., a bluetooth connection, a Wi-Fi connection, etc.) with the smart home server. In one embodiment, after the process shown in fig. 5 is executed, the smart tv may establish a short-range wireless communication connection with the smart home server.

Optionally, after the smart tv performs S801, the smart tv immediately establishes a short-range wireless communication connection (e.g., a bluetooth connection, a Wi-Fi connection, etc.) with the smart home server. Thus, when S802 is executed, the smart tv has established a short-range wireless communication connection with the smart home server.

Therefore, after receiving the first message sent by the network call server, the smart home server can send a wakeup message to the smart television through the short-distance wireless communication connection.

S806-S809: are respectively the same as S610-S612; the difference is that the wake-up message is not from the smart speaker, but from the smart home server; for details, reference may be made to descriptions of S610 to S612, which are not described herein again.

When the process shown in fig. 8 is executed, the corresponding display interfaces of the smart television are shown in fig. 7A-7B, which may specifically refer to the description corresponding to the process shown in fig. 6; and will not be described in detail herein.

Likewise, for the method for cooperatively waking up the first electronic device provided by the embodiment of the present application, the method may not include S807 to S809; that is, at S806, the first electronic device has been cooperatively awakened by the second electronic device.

Optionally, the method may also include all or part of S807-S809.

The technical effect corresponding to the flow shown in fig. 8 can be seen in the technical effect corresponding to the flow shown in fig. 6; and will not be described in detail herein.

In addition to the embodiments described above, other embodiments are also provided. Fig. 9 is a flowchart illustrating a further method for cooperatively waking up a first electronic device according to an embodiment of the present application. In fig. 9, a method for waking up a first electronic device cooperatively by a second electronic device is described by taking the first electronic device as an intelligent television, the second electronic device as an intelligent sound box, and the third electronic device as an intelligent doorbell. It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, an intelligent doorbell, an intelligent television, an intelligent sound box, and the like may be replaced by other electronic devices. For the second electronic device, generally speaking, it is sufficient to maintain a communication connection with a server (e.g., a smart home server) for a long time. Further, an electronic device with lower power consumption than that of the first electronic device is preferable as the second electronic device.

As shown in fig. 9, the method may include:

and S901, the smart television enters a low power consumption state.

For example, after the smart television executes the instruction, and a new instruction is not received within a time length (the time length may be a preset time length), the smart television may enter a low power consumption state.

S902, the intelligent doorbell sends a first notification message to the intelligent home server to notify the doorbell of being triggered.

In some examples, when a person triggers the smart doorbell, the smart doorbell may send a first notification message to the smart home server for notifying that the doorbell is triggered.

Illustratively, the smart doorbell can integrate or connect a camera. Therefore, the intelligent doorbell can collect images around the intelligent doorbell through the camera.

S903, the intelligent home server sends a second notification message to the intelligent television, and the response of the intelligent television is not received within the first preset time after the second notification message is sent.

At this time, the smart television is in a low power consumption state, and cannot receive the second notification message sent by the smart home server. After the first preset time period has elapsed, S904 is executed.

S904, the intelligent home server determines that the intelligent sound box is the awakening device of the intelligent television.

S905, the smart home server sends a first message for waking up the smart television to the smart sound box.

Illustratively, the first message is used to instruct the smart speaker to wake up the smart tv.

S906, the intelligent sound box sends a wake-up message to the intelligent television through the pre-established short-distance wireless communication connection.

The short-distance wireless communication connection can be a Bluetooth connection, a Wi-Fi connection and other short-distance wireless communication connections. This short-range wireless communication connection may have already been established before S901; it can also be established after S901 and before S902.

And S907, after the smart television receives the awakening message, the smart television is awakened.

The intelligent television is awakened and is in a working state. And circuits or devices such as a CPU (central processing unit) of the intelligent television recover to operate.

And the intelligent television establishes or recovers the communication connection with the intelligent home server.

And S908, the smart television sends a response message to the smart doorbell through the smart home server.

And S909, the intelligent doorbell sends video data to the intelligent television through the integrated or connected camera.

The video data is data collected or shot by the camera.

Illustratively, the camera takes pictures at certain time intervals. And the intelligent doorbell sends the data corresponding to the shot photo to the intelligent television through the intelligent home server.

Illustratively, the camera captures video data for a certain length of time. The intelligent doorbell sends the collected video data to the intelligent television through the intelligent home server.

Illustratively, the camera captures video data in real-time. And the intelligent doorbell sends the collected video data to the intelligent television in real time. Therefore, the intelligent television can display the video data provided by the camera in real time.

S910, displaying the picture provided by the camera through the smart television.

Illustratively, the smart television displays video pictures in real time according to video data provided by the smart doorbell.

Illustratively, the intelligent television displays the photos in real time according to the data corresponding to the photos provided by the intelligent doorbell.

Therefore, as the screen of the smart television is larger and is usually located at a position which is convenient for a user to watch at home, the user can conveniently and quickly pass through the smart television to observe the situation outside the door.

Optionally, the user can also have a conversation with the guest through the smart television. At the moment, the intelligent doorbell can be integrated with a loudspeaker; or, a loudspeaker is installed on or near the door, and the loudspeaker is in communication connection with the intelligent television in advance. Alternatively, a speaker mounted on or near the door may have a communication connection pre-established with the smart doorbell.

In other embodiments, the smart television can also establish a linkage relationship with the smart door lock. Therefore, after the user can check the video provided by the camera on the smart television, the smart television can send unlocking information to the smart door lock by inputting a control instruction to the smart television (for example, inputting the control instruction by touching the smart television or inputting the control instruction by voice to the smart television), so that the smart door lock can be opened, unlocked and the like quickly. Alternatively, the door of the guest may be automatically closed, locked, etc. after the guest enters the door.

In some other embodiments, a message may also be sent by the third electronic device to the second electronic device to inform the second electronic device to wake up the first electronic device. In the following, the first electronic device is still taken as an intelligent television, the second electronic device is taken as an intelligent sound box, and the third electronic device is taken as an intelligent doorbell for illustration. Exemplarily, fig. 10 is a schematic flowchart of a method for cooperatively waking up a first electronic device according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 10, the method may include:

S1001-S1003: please refer to the related contents in S901-S903 above, which are the same as S901-S903, respectively.

And S1004, the intelligent home server sends a first notification message to the intelligent doorbell to notify the intelligent sound box of the awakening device of the intelligent television.

S1005, the intelligent doorbell sends a first message for waking up the intelligent television to the intelligent sound box.

S1006-S1010: the same as S906-S910, please refer to the related contents in S906-S910 above.

Thus, another way for waking up the smart television by the smart speaker is provided.

It should be noted that the smart television, the smart sound box, the smart doorbell, and the like are exemplary examples of the first electronic device, the second electronic device, and the third electronic device, respectively; other electronic devices may be substituted. For the second electronic device, generally speaking, it is sufficient to maintain a communication connection with a server (e.g., a smart home server) for a long time. Further, an electronic device with lower power consumption than that of the first electronic device is preferable as the second electronic device.

Alternatively, the second electronic device may select an electronic device that consumes a relatively high amount of power but maintains a communication connection with the server for a long time. For example, the power consumption of some electronic devices in communication with the server may be higher than or equal to the power consumption of the first electronic device in communication with the server; but since the electronic device remains in communication connection with the server for a long time or even all the time, such an electronic device may still be selected as the second electronic device. Because, as a whole, such an option would still reduce the overall power consumption of the first electronic device and the second electronic device.

In some other embodiments, the second electronic device may be a server (e.g., a smart home server). In the following, the description will still be given by taking the first electronic device as an intelligent television, the second electronic device as an intelligent home server, and the third electronic device as an intelligent doorbell. Exemplarily, fig. 11 is a schematic flowchart of a method for cooperatively waking up a first electronic device according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 11, the method may include:

S1101-S1103: as with S1001 to S1003, please refer to the relevant contents in S1001 to S1003 described above.

And S1104, the smart home server sends a wakeup message to the smart television through the pre-established short-distance wireless communication connection.

S1005-S1009: the same as S1006-S1010, please refer to the related contents in S1006-S1010 above.

Thus, another way for waking up the smart television by the smart home server is provided.

It should be noted that the foregoing smart television, the smart home server, the smart doorbell, and the like are exemplary examples of the first electronic device and the third electronic device, respectively; other electronic devices may be substituted.

In summary, in one or more embodiments of the present application, when the first electronic device is in the low power consumption state and the third electronic device sends an instant cooperative work request or linkage request, the wake-up device (i.e., the second electronic device or the server) of the first electronic device may send a wake-up message to the first electronic device to wake up the first electronic device, so as to implement cooperative work or linkage between the first electronic device and the third electronic device, and solve the problem that the first electronic device cannot respond to the cooperative work request or linkage request of the third electronic device quickly or even instantly when the first electronic device is in the low power consumption state; in addition, the power consumption of the first electronic device and the second electronic device (or the server) as a whole is reduced. The second electronic device is a wake-up device of the first electronic device, and can be preset.

That is to say, the technical scheme provided by the application can give consideration to both power consumption reduction and quick or even instant response, or balance between power consumption reduction and quick or even instant response, so that the user experience is improved. Therefore, the first electronic device and the second electronic device (or the server) can be used more economically, the concept of energy conservation and emission reduction is met, meanwhile, the quick and even instant response of various requirements can be still met, and the convenience of users is met.
