Description

Equipment control method and electronic equipment

Technical Field

The application relates to the technical field of terminals, in particular to a device control method and electronic equipment.

Background

Along with the wider and wider application of electronic devices, some electronic devices not only can meet the requirements of users for realizing personal services, but also can simultaneously meet the requirements of users for realizing office services. For example, some cell phones may be equipped with personal systems and work systems. When the user goes to work or takes a rest, the user can chat, make a call, browse videos or view information by using the personal system of the mobile phone. When a user is working or in a meeting, the work system of the mobile phone can be used for viewing or browsing the content related to the work. Therefore, the mobile phone of the user can realize the function of one phone for two purposes.

When a user participates in a working conference, a host of the conference generally requires the user to switch portable electronic equipment such as a mobile phone into a working system and limit the use of a communication network and a mobile network of the electronic equipment, so that the user is prevented from completing private business in the conference process, or conference content and the like are sent to other irrelevant personnel through the electronic equipment. However, even if a user switches the portable electronic device to a working system while participating in a meeting, there is a risk of leaking out the meeting content, and the electronic device cannot perceive incoming call information during the meeting, so that the user cannot deal with an emergency in time.

Disclosure of Invention

The embodiment of the application provides a device control method and electronic equipment, wherein the electronic equipment comprises a target working mode for a participant, when the electronic equipment starts the target working mode, functions or applications with higher content leakage risks are forbidden or limited to be used, and prompts for the users for forbidden or limited use of the functions are displayed, so that the situations that the users use the electronic equipment to leak conference content can be reduced, and the users can be timely reminded of important incoming calls or notices.

In order to achieve the above purpose, the embodiments of the present application adopt the following technical solutions:

In a first aspect, a device control method is provided, which can be applied to an electronic device. If the electronic equipment detects the first trigger operation of the user on the target working mode, the electronic equipment can respond to the first trigger operation to start the target working mode. Then, in the case that the second trigger operation of the user on the first system function is detected, the electronic device does not respond to the second trigger operation to execute the first system function, but displays disabling prompt information corresponding to the first system function, where the disabling prompt information may indicate that the first system function is disabled. In the case that the third trigger operation of the user on the second system function is detected, the electronic device does not respond to the third trigger operation to execute the second system function, and also displays the usage restriction prompt information corresponding to the second system function, where the usage restriction prompt information may indicate that the second system function is allowed to be used when a preset condition is met.

The second system functions include a mobile call function, which means a function of making a call based on a cellular mobile network. And, the risk of content leakage of the first system function is greater than the risk of content leakage of the second system function, so when the electronic device opens the target operation mode, it is necessary to prohibit the user from using the first system function and restrict the user from using the second system function.

For example, a user may control the electronic device to turn on a target operating mode when participating in some content, such as a meeting, that requires privacy. At this time, the user cannot use the first system function, and is restricted from using the second system function. Taking the mobile phone function as an example, when the electronic device is in the target working mode, if the user wants to use the mobile phone function, the electronic device does not allow the user to answer an incoming call or dial a number, but displays prompt information limiting the use of the mobile phone function to the user, so that the user is prompted to control the electronic device to meet the preset condition, and then the mobile phone function is used. Otherwise, the mobile communication function cannot be used in the current target mode state.

Therefore, in the above device control method, when the electronic device is in the target operation mode, the first system function of the electronic device is prohibited from being used, and the second system function is restricted from being used. When the second system function is limited to use, the electronic device does not execute the mobile phone function, but provides some prompt information for the user, so that the user can know the condition of using the mobile phone function, etc. Therefore, the situation that the user leaks conference content by using the electronic equipment can be reduced by disabling the system function or limiting the use mode, the user can be reminded of some important calls in time, the conference safety is ensured, and a more convenient conference participation mode is provided for the user.

The above-mentioned ways of controlling the electronic device to start the target working mode are various, in which, the user may manually control the electronic device to start the target working mode, or the electronic device may also be controlled by the server to start the target working mode.

In an implementation manner of the first aspect, in response to a first triggering operation of the user on the target working mode, the electronic device may perform, in a process of starting the target working mode, a short-range wireless communication between the electronic device and the management and control device by the user. Upon detection of such an operation by the electronic device, a mode-management application on the electronic device may be launched in response to such an operation. Then, under the condition that the mode control application is started, the electronic equipment starts a target working mode. In this implementation manner, the operation of performing close-range wireless communication between the electronic device and the management and control device may be regarded as a card swiping check-in operation, so that the electronic device may start the mode management and control application through the card swiping check-in, and thus, the target working mode is started depending on the management and control device and the mode management and control application. The implementation provides a way for a user to manually control the electronic device to turn on the target operating mode.

In an implementation manner of the first aspect, in response to a first trigger operation of the user on the target working mode, the electronic device may start the target working mode, where the first trigger operation of the user on the target working mode may be a trigger operation of the user on a mode control application of the electronic device on a check-in function. After the electronic device detects such an operation, the target operating mode may be turned on in response to such an operation. In the implementation mode, the electronic equipment is provided with the mode control application, and a user can sign in through the mode control application on the electronic equipment, so that the electronic equipment is controlled to start a target working mode. The implementation provides a way for a user to manually control the electronic device to turn on the target operating mode.

In an implementation manner of the first aspect, in response to a first trigger operation of the user on the target working mode, the electronic device may start the target working mode, where the first trigger operation of the user on the target working mode may be an operation of searching the target working mode on the electronic device by the user. After the electronic device detects such an operation, a function page corresponding to the target operation mode may be displayed first in response to such an operation. After the user sees the functional page, the user can select the control corresponding to the target working mode on the functional page through clicking, touching and other operations. After detecting operations such as clicking and touching, the electronic device can respond to the operations to start a target working mode. In the implementation manner, the electronic equipment can provide the function of searching the target working mode and provide the functional page corresponding to the target working mode, and when the target working mode needs to be started, the user can search the target working mode and select the target working mode on the corresponding functional page, so that the electronic equipment is controlled to start the target working mode. The implementation provides a way for a user to manually control the electronic device to turn on the target operating mode.

In an implementation manner of the first aspect, in response to a first trigger operation of the user on the target working mode, the electronic device may start the target working mode, where the first trigger operation of the user on the target working mode may be a sliding operation of the user pointing in a target direction on a display page of the electronic device. After the electronic device detects such a sliding operation, a function page corresponding to the target operation mode may be displayed first in response to such an operation. After the user sees the function page, the user can trigger operations on the function page through clicking, touching and the like to select the control corresponding to the target working mode. After the electronic device detects trigger operations such as clicking, touching and the like, the electronic device can respond to the trigger operations to start the target working mode. In the implementation manner, the user can control the electronic equipment to display the functional page corresponding to the target working mode through the sliding operation in the designated direction, and when the user needs to start the target working mode, the user can select the target working mode on the corresponding functional page, so that the electronic equipment is controlled to start the target working mode. The implementation provides a way for a user to manually control the electronic device to turn on the target operating mode.

In an implementation manner of the first aspect, the electronic device may respond to a first trigger operation of the user on the target working mode, and in a process of starting the target working mode, the first trigger operation of the user on the target working mode may refer to a trigger operation of an administrator on the electronic device on the target working mode, where the administrator may also be regarded as a user. The administrator can send a trigger instruction to the electronic equipment through the server, and then a first trigger operation for the target working mode is sent out. And the electronic equipment starts the target working mode after receiving a trigger instruction for the target working mode issued by the server. In this implementation, the administrator or the like may send configuration information to the server through the corresponding electronic device, where the configuration information includes information related to the target working mode, for example, when the user participates in the conference, the configuration information may include a start time, an end time, a conference address, user information participating in the conference, device information, and the like of the conference. The server may send a trigger instruction for the target working mode to the electronic device of the user participating in the conference according to the conference start time in the configuration information, where the conference start time may also be regarded as the first preset time. Or, the server may also send a trigger instruction for the target working mode to the electronic device of the user participating in the conference at the beginning of the conference if the electronic device of the user reaches the conference address according to the conference address, the conference start time and the like in the configuration information, where the conference address may also be regarded as a preset address. This implementation provides a way for the electronic device to be forced to turn on the target operating mode under server control.

In an implementation manner of the first aspect, the first system function may include a recording function, a shooting function, a positioning function, and the like. And, the second system function may further include a short message function, etc. When the electronic device starts the target working mode, the recording function, the shooting function, the positioning function and the like of the electronic device are forbidden to be used, and a user cannot leak the current working content (such as conference content) to other users in the modes of recording, shooting, video recording, sending positioning information and the like. Meanwhile, the electronic device can also limit the user to use the mobile communication function, the short message function and the like, but the electronic device can display the incoming call or the received short message and the like to the user, but can not allow the user to use the answering function or not allow the user to send the short message, so that the user can not leak the current working content (such as conference content) to other users in modes of calling, sending the short message and the like, but the user can see the important incoming call or the short message and the like. Such an implementation may alert a user to process important transactions while securing work content (e.g., meeting content).

In an implementation manner of the first aspect, the electronic device may further display a control corresponding to the positioning function on the function page, and the positioning function is prohibited from being used when the target working mode is on. If the electronic equipment detects the triggering operation of the user on the positioning function in the first system function, the electronic equipment can control the control corresponding to the positioning function to be in an unselected state. Therefore, the user is prevented from starting the positioning function, the current working place (such as a conference address) is leaked to other users in a mode of sending positioning information, and the safety of working contents (such as conference contents) is ensured.

In an implementation manner of the first aspect, in a case where the user manually controls the electronic device to start the target operating mode, the usage restriction prompting information displayed by the electronic device when the usage of the second system function is restricted may indicate that the electronic device allows the usage of the second system function under the condition of closing the target operating mode, so as to prompt the user to close the target operating mode of the electronic device through some operations, and after closing the target operating mode, the user may normally use the target operating mode. And, the above-mentioned limited use prompt information may include a closing control corresponding to the target working mode, so as to provide a function of closing the target working mode by one key for the user. If the user wants to use the second system function, the user can select the closing control through a trigger operation such as clicking or touching, and the electronic device can respond to the trigger operation to close the target working mode. After the target working mode is closed, the electronic equipment can remove the forbidden limit on the second system function, and the user can normally use the second system function.

In an implementation manner of the first aspect, in a case that the electronic device is controlled by the server to start the target working mode, the limitation use prompting information displayed by the electronic device when the electronic device is limited to use the second system function may indicate that the electronic device allows to use the second system function under the condition of closing the target working mode, so as to prompt a user to notify an administrator to perform an operation, and control the electronic device to close the target working mode. In this case, the user cannot close the target working mode by himself, and therefore, the limited use prompt information displayed at this time does not include the closing control corresponding to the target working mode. If the administrator agrees to close the target working mode of the user electronic equipment, the administrator sends a control instruction and the like to the server through the corresponding electronic equipment, so that the server sends the control instruction for the target working mode to the electronic equipment. And if the electronic equipment receives a control instruction for the target working mode sent by the server, closing the target working mode. After the target working mode is closed, the electronic equipment can remove the forbidden limit on the second system function, and the user can normally use the second system function.

In an implementation manner of the first aspect, in a case where the electronic device is controlled by the server to start the target working mode, the user cannot close the target working mode by itself. Therefore, if the electronic apparatus detects an operation of closing the target operation mode indicated by the user, the electronic apparatus does not perform an operation of closing the target operation mode in response to this operation, but keeps the target operation mode in an on state. Only after the electronic device receives the control instruction of the server, the target working mode is closed. Therefore, the situation that the user turns off the target working mode by himself is reduced, and the situation that the user leaks conference content by using the electronic equipment is reduced.

In one implementation manner of the first aspect, the second system function includes a mobile phone function, and the mobile phone function includes an incoming call answering function and a dialing function. The third triggering operation of the user on the second system function may include a triggering operation of the user on a dialing page of the electronic device on a dialing control and a triggering operation of the user on a answering page of the electronic device on an answering control. The answering page may include a screen locking page, a non-screen locking page, and the like of the electronic device. The user can realize the dialing function on the dialing page, when the electronic equipment starts the target working mode, the dialing function is limited to be used, and if the user has the dialing operation once, the electronic equipment displays the use limiting prompt information and the like. The user can realize the function of answering the incoming call on the answering page, and the electronic equipment can be in a screen locking state or a non-screen locking state when the incoming call is received. When the electronic equipment starts the target working mode, the call answering function is limited to be used, and if the user has the operation of answering the call, the electronic equipment displays the use limiting prompt information and the like. In this implementation, when the electronic device is in the target working mode, the user cannot answer the call or make a call, so that the leakage of the working content (such as the conference content) by the user through the mobile communication mode is reduced.

In an implementation manner of the first aspect, in a case where the target operation mode is turned on, the electronic device may display a prompt currently in the target operation mode on the display page. Therefore, the user can clearly and conveniently know the current state of the electronic equipment.

In an implementation manner of the first aspect, the electronic device may further detect a current usage situation of the first system function and the second system function on the electronic device. When the target operating mode is on, the electronic device may stop the first system function and/or the second system function if the electronic device detects that the first system function is being used, or that the second system function is being used, or that both the first system function and the second system function are being used. Therefore, when the electronic equipment starts the target working mode, the first system function is forbidden to be used, and the second system is limited to be used. The situation that the user leaks conference content by using the electronic equipment is also reduced.

In one implementation manner of the first aspect, the electronic device may include a plurality of application systems, and the target application system is included in the plurality of application systems. The target application system may include a target operating mode, a first system function, and a second system function. In the case of using the target application system, the electronic device may turn on the target operation mode in response to a first trigger operation of the user on the target operation mode. And under the condition that the target working mode is started, if the electronic equipment detects the operation of switching the application system by the user, the electronic equipment prohibits switching to other application systems, and prompt information for prohibiting switching the application systems is displayed. In the implementation mode, when the electronic equipment starts the target working mode, the user cannot switch the application system running in the current foreground to the background running, so that the user cannot leak the conference content by using the application system running in the background, and the safety of the conference content is ensured.

In an implementation manner of the first aspect, in response to the foregoing case where the user manually controls the electronic device to turn on the target operation mode, after the target operation mode is turned on in response to the user operation, if the electronic device detects the user operation on the target operation mode that has been turned on, the target operation mode is turned off. And in the event that the target operating mode is off, the electronic device removes the disabling of the first system function and the limiting of the second system function. After the target operating mode is turned off, the user may normally use the second system function.

In an implementation manner of the first aspect, in a case that the electronic device is controlled by the server to start the target working mode, the electronic device may receive a control instruction issued by the server for the target working mode that is already started when the electronic device starts the target working mode, and close the target working mode. As described above, the configuration information includes information related to the target operation mode, for example, when the user participates in the conference, the start time, end time, conference address, user information participating in the conference, device information, and the like of the conference may be included in the configuration information. The server may send a control instruction for the target working mode to the electronic device of the user participating in the conference according to the conference end time in the configuration information, where the conference end time may also be regarded as the second preset time. And under the condition that the target working mode is closed, the electronic equipment releases the disabling of the first system function and releases the limitation of the second system function. After the target operating mode is turned off, the user may normally use the second system function.

In a second aspect, an electronic device is provided, the electronic device comprising a memory, one or more processors; the memory is coupled with the processor; wherein the memory has stored therein computer program code comprising computer instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the electronic device to perform the device control method according to any of the first aspects.

In a third aspect, there is provided a computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored therein, which when run on a computer, cause the computer to perform the device control method according to any one of the first aspects.

In a fourth aspect, there is provided a computer program product containing instructions which, when run on a computer, cause the computer to perform the device control method of any of the first aspects.

The technical effects of any one of the design manners of the second aspect to the fourth aspect may be referred to the technical effects of the different design manners of the first aspect, and will not be described herein.

In addition, the service scenario described in the embodiment of the present application is for more clearly describing the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application, and does not constitute a limitation on the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application, and as a person of ordinary skill in the art can know that, with the appearance of a new service scenario, the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application is also applicable to similar technical problems.

At present, the application range of the electronic equipment is wider and wider, and one electronic equipment can meet the requirements of users for realizing personal business and office business. For example, some cell phones may be equipped with personal systems and work systems. When the personal system operates, the mobile phone is connected to the mobile internet of the user; when the working system operates, the mobile phone is connected to the intranet where the user works. When the user goes to work or takes a rest, the personal system of the mobile phone can be used, in which case the user can chat, make a call, browse video or view information on the mobile phone, etc. The work system of the mobile phone may be used when the user is working or in a meeting, in which case the user can only view or browse the work related content on the mobile phone. Therefore, the mobile phone of the user can realize the function of one phone for two purposes.

When the mobile phone runs the working system, the working system generally limits the use of the mobile phone network, the downloading of application software, the browsing of web pages and the like, and the use of the functions of the mobile phone is not affected. For example, while running a work system, a user cannot browse some small videos, but the user can take a video or a picture using a camera of the mobile phone, etc. For another example, when the mobile phone runs the working system, the user cannot chat using the private chat software, but the user can make a call or send a short message through the mobile phone.

When a user participates in a working conference, a host of the conference generally requires the user to switch portable electronic equipment such as a mobile phone into a working system and limit the use of a communication network and a mobile network of the electronic equipment, so that the user is prevented from completing private business in the conference process, or conference content and the like are sent to other irrelevant personnel through the electronic equipment. However, even if a user switches the portable electronic device to operate a working system when participating in a conference, the host of the conference cannot avoid the user from spreading out the conference content by using the shooting function, the recording function, and the like of the electronic device, thereby affecting the security of the conference. Moreover, the electronic device cannot sense incoming call information during the conference, and the user cannot timely handle emergency situations.

In order to further ensure the security of the conference, some meeting participants also require users to not take electronic devices with shooting, recording and wireless communication functions into the conference place while participating in the conference. However, this method also has the problem that the user cannot answer the emergency call in time and cannot deal with the emergency situation in time.

Based on the foregoing, an embodiment of the present application provides a device control method, where an electronic device includes a target operating mode for participating in a conference. When a user participates in a meeting, the electronic device can be controlled to enter a target working mode. When the electronic equipment is in the target working mode, the shooting function, the recording function, the telephone function, the positioning function and other system functions of the electronic equipment are limited to be used, but the electronic equipment prompts the user of incoming calls, notices and other messages received based on the system functions. Therefore, the situation that the user leaks conference content by using the electronic equipment can be reduced, the user can be reminded of some important calls or notices in time, the conference safety is ensured, and a more convenient conference participation mode is provided for the user. The target operation mode may be a conference mode, a concentration mode, or a mode for concentrating the user on the work or participating in a conference.

The system functions may include functions configured by the electronic device when the electronic device leaves the factory, such as setting, talking, gallery, shooting, positioning, network, bluetooth, video, short message, etc.; and may also include functionality that the electronic device has after shipment due to the installation of some application software, such as navigation, video call, voice call, chat, small video, etc.

The equipment control method provided by the embodiment of the application can be applied to a conference system.

Taking the conference system shown in fig. 1 as an example, the conference system may include an electronic device 100 and a management device (e.g., conference check-in device) 200. The electronic device 100 includes a target operation mode, check-in application software for participating in a conference, and the like. In general, the management and control device 200 is disposed at a conference site, and before a user brings the electronic device 100 into the conference site, the user may approach the electronic device 100 to the management and control device 200 to perform an operation similar to swiping a card, so as to implement a conference sign-in. And, after the check-in is successful, the user enters the conference site, and a mode control application (e.g., a check-in application) on the electronic device 100 is started and controls the electronic device 100 to enter the target working mode. After the electronic device 100 enters the target operating mode, some system functions on the electronic device 100 are restricted from being used, thereby ensuring the security of conference content. But at the same time, the electronic device 100 provides a prompt for a user to have an incoming call, a notification, etc., so that the user can also know in time that there is an incoming call, a notification, etc. when participating in a meeting. When the user thinks of answering the incoming call or viewing the notification, the user needs to leave the conference site and get the electronic device 100 close to the management and control device 200 again, so as to realize the conference sign-out. After the sign-in succeeds, the mode control application on the electronic device 100 is closed, the electronic device 100 exits the target working mode, and the limitation of the system functions on the electronic device 100 is also released, at this time, the user can answer the call or check the notification, and the like.

Taking the conference system shown in fig. 2 as an example, the conference system may include an electronic device 100 and a server 300. The electronic device 100 includes a target operating mode. A conference host, conference administrator, or the like may remotely control the electronic device 100 of a user participating in a conference through the server 300 to force a target operating mode. In this case, the conference host, conference manager, and the like can also be regarded as users. In such a conference system, a user participating in a conference may transmit his own device information, user information, etc. to the server 300 via the electronic device 100, and the user's electronic device 100 may also transmit his own device time and location of the device to the server 300. The conference manager transmits the time and place of the start of the conference to the server 300 through the corresponding electronic device 100, thereby setting a target operation mode on condition of the electronic devices 100 participating in the conference. When the server 300 determines that the meeting is started and the user's electronic device 100 has reached the meeting location, the server 300 sends a control signal to the electronic device 100 to control the electronic device 100 to enter a target operating mode.

In some embodiments, the pressure sensor 180A may be disposed on the display screen 194. When a touch operation is applied to the display screen 194, the electronic apparatus 100 detects the touch operation intensity according to the pressure sensor 180A. The electronic device 100 may also calculate the location of the touch based on the detection signal of the pressure sensor 180A. In some embodiments, touch operations that act on the same touch location, but at different touch operation strengths, may correspond to different operation instructions. For example: and executing an instruction for checking the short message when the touch operation with the touch operation intensity smaller than the first pressure threshold acts on the short message application icon.

Taking the example where the electronic device 100 in the conference system in fig. 1 is the electronic device 100 shown in fig. 3. When the device control method in the embodiment of the application is implemented in the conference system shown in fig. 1, the user uses the wireless communication module of the electronic device 100 to communicate with the management and control device on the conference site, and after the successful conference sign-in, the processor 110 of the electronic device controls the electronic device 100 to enter the target working mode, and disables the speaker 170A, the receiver 170B, the microphone 170C, the earphone interface 170D and the positioning function of the electronic device 100. When participating in the conference, the user is prevented from answering a call or recording, and the conference content is prevented from being leaked through the telephone communication or recording content, and the conference place is prevented from being leaked through the positioning function of the electronic device 100. Thereby ensuring the security of conference contents. When the electronic device 100 receives a telephone signal or a notification signal, the processor 110 controls the display 194 to display an incoming call signal or notification message, etc. To alert the user to an incoming call or notification. When the user wants to answer a call or make a call, the pressure of the user touching the digital control or answering the control increases, and after the pressure sensor 180A detects the pressure signal, the pressure signal is sent to the processor 110 of the electronic device 100. The processor 110 controls the display 194 to display a prompt to the user that the user is currently in the target operating mode, thereby prompting the user to exit the target operating mode for the associated operation. Therefore, the user can know the incoming call or the notification in time and process the incoming call or the notification in time while ensuring the safety of the conference content.

The software system of the electronic device 100 may employ a layered architecture, an event driven architecture, a microkernel architecture, a microservice architecture, or a cloud architecture. In the embodiment of the invention, taking an Android system with a layered architecture as an example, a software structure of the electronic device 100 is illustrated.

Taking the electronic device 100 as an example of a mobile phone, fig. 4 shows a schematic software structure of the electronic device 100.

As shown in fig. 4, the layered architecture divides the software into several layers, each with a clear role and division of work. The layers communicate with each other through a software interface. In some embodiments, the Android system is divided into four layers, from top to bottom, an application layer, an application framework layer, an Zhuoyun row (Android run) and system libraries, and a kernel layer, respectively.

The application layer may include a series of application packages.

As shown in fig. 4, the application package may include applications for cameras, gallery, calendar, talk, map, navigation, WLAN, bluetooth, video, short message, settings, etc.

In some embodiments, when the target operating mode is included in the electronic device 100, the application program layer may also include a mode management application, a device management application, and the like. After a user holds the electronic device 100 near the management and control device on the conference site to realize card swiping and check-in, the mode management and control application of the application program layer is started, and the electronic device 100 enters a target working mode. While controlling applications of cameras, maps, navigation, bluetooth, video, etc. to be disabled. Thus preventing users from leaking conference content through shooting, positioning and other modes.

For example, a display interface including a text message notification icon may include a view displaying text and a view displaying a picture.

The telephony manager is used to provide the communication functions of the electronic device 100. Such as the management of call status (including on, hung-up, etc.).

The resource manager provides various resources for the application program, such as localization strings, icons, pictures, layout files, video files, and the like.

The notification manager allows the application to display notification information in a status bar, can be used to communicate notification type messages, can automatically disappear after a short dwell, and does not require user interaction. Such as notification manager is used to inform that the download is complete, message alerts, etc. The notification manager may also be a notification in the form of a chart or scroll bar text that appears on the system top status bar, such as a notification of a background running application, or a notification that appears on the screen in the form of a dialog window. For example, a text message is prompted in a status bar, a prompt tone is emitted, the electronic device vibrates, and an indicator light blinks, etc.

In some embodiments, the application framework layer may also include a device manager, a device management service, and the like. The device management service provides business services for shooting, recording, talking, positioning and other functions, and provides corresponding service peripheral interfaces, such as a camera interface, a microphone interface, a positioning function interface and the like. When the electronic device 100 is in the target operating mode, the device manager invokes a service peripheral interface provided by the device management service to regulate the camera, microphone, positioner, etc., thereby achieving the goal of disabling these functions in the conference.

Android runtimes include core libraries and virtual machines. Android run time is responsible for scheduling and management of the Android system.

The core library consists of two parts: one part is a function which needs to be called by java language, and the other part is a core library of android.

The application layer and the application framework layer run in a virtual machine. The virtual machine executes java files of the application program layer and the application program framework layer as binary files. The virtual machine is used for executing the functions of object life cycle management, stack management, thread management, security and exception management, garbage collection and the like.

The system library may include a plurality of functional modules. For example: surface manager (surface manager), media Libraries (Media Libraries), three-dimensional graphics processing Libraries (e.g., openGL ES), 2D graphics engines (e.g., SGL), etc.

The surface manager is used to manage the display subsystem and provides a fusion of 2D and 3D layers for multiple applications.

Media libraries support a variety of commonly used audio, video format playback and recording, still image files, and the like. The media library may support a variety of audio and video encoding formats, such as MPEG4, h.264, MP3, AAC, AMR, JPG, PNG, etc.

The three-dimensional graphic processing library is used for realizing three-dimensional graphic drawing, image rendering, synthesis, layer processing and the like.

The 2D graphics engine is a drawing engine for 2D drawing.

The kernel layer is a layer between hardware and software. The inner core layer at least comprises a display driver, a camera driver, an audio driver and a sensor driver.

Taking the example where the electronic device 100 in the conference system in fig. 1 is the electronic device 100 shown in fig. 4. When the device control method in the embodiment of the present application is implemented in the conference system shown in fig. 1, after the user uses the electronic device 100 to successfully sign in the conference, the mode control application of the electronic device 100 is started to control the electronic device 100 to enter the target working mode. The device manager invokes a service peripheral interface provided by the device management service to manage the camera, microphone, locator, etc., thereby disabling applications such as camera, map, navigation, bluetooth, video, etc. The method and the device prevent the users from leaking the conference content in the modes of shooting, recording, positioning and the like, and ensure the safety of the conference content. When the electronic device 100 receives a telephone signal or a notification signal, the electronic device 100 displays incoming call information or the like so as to prompt the user for an incoming call. When the user wants to answer the call, the device manager controls the call application to hang up the call and prompts the user to close the target working mode so as to answer the call. Therefore, the user can know that the incoming call exists in time and process the incoming call in time while ensuring the safety of the conference content.

The system structure of the electronic device 100 shown in fig. 4 may be regarded as a personal system (e.g., a first application system) of the electronic device 100, and the user may complete personal services and office services on the system structure shown in fig. 4, so as to meet the needs of personal work, life, entertainment, and the like. For example, a user may chat, watch video, make a call, etc. on the electronic device 100 while resting; when a user participates in a conference, the target working mode can be started on the electronic equipment 100, so that the user works in focus, and the safety of conference contents is ensured.

In addition, taking the example that the electronic device is a mobile phone, fig. 5 also shows another software structure schematic diagram of the electronic device 100. As shown in fig. 5, the electronic device 100 may further include modules such as a call application, a setup application, a mode management application, a device manager, and a device management service.

The device manager can be added with a target working mode related management and control function module and provides related interfaces (target working mode management and control API) for target working mode management and control, such as a target working mode starting API, a target working mode exiting API, a target working mode state inquiry API, a target working mode starting broadcast notification API, a target working mode exiting broadcast notification API and the like.

And integrating a target working mode control API provided by the equipment manager in the modules of the mode control application, the equipment management application, the equipment manager, the setting application, the call application and the like, and calling the target working mode control API to carry out corresponding service control according to the requirements of the functional service flow.

The mode control application can call the target working mode starting API/target working mode exiting API according to the business flow of sign-in/sign-out, so as to realize the forced starting/exiting of the target working mode.

The device management application can support receiving and responding to a management and control strategy of a target working mode issued by a device administrator in background configuration, and call a target working mode starting API/target working mode exiting API to realize forced starting/exiting of a conference mode.

The setting application can call the target working mode starting API/target working mode exiting API according to the fact that a user clicks a switch and the like of the target working mode, and the target working mode is manually started/exited.

The device manager may invoke a target operating mode enable broadcast notification API/target operating mode exit broadcast notification API to issue a broadcast notification of target operating mode on/off to the telephony application. When the mobile phone is answering the incoming call, the call application can respond to the broadcast notification in real time, and when the target working mode is started, the incoming call is hung up.

The mode control application, the device management application, the setting application and the call application can also call a target working mode state query API to query whether the target working mode is started.

The device manager may invoke a peripheral management and control interface provided by the device management service to manage and control the corresponding peripheral. For example, when the target working mode is started, calling a control interface corresponding to the camera, and disabling the camera; or when the target working mode is started, calling a control interface corresponding to the microphone, and disabling the microphone; or when the target working mode is started, calling a management and control interface corresponding to the locator or the locating module, disabling the locator or the locating module and the like. Finally, the service functions of disabling equipment such as recording, video, photographing and position information are achieved.

Taking the example that the target working mode is a conference mode, in the system shown in fig. 5, when the device control method in the embodiment of the application is implemented, the relevant flow of the control method may refer to fig. 6. As shown in fig. 6, a user may implement a swipe check-in through a mode management and control application, so that the mode management and control application controls the electronic device 100 to start a conference mode through a device manager, and when controlling the electronic device 100 to start the conference mode, the device manager invokes a peripheral management and control interface provided by a device management service and disables related peripherals. Or, the user may also manually click on a related control of the conference mode on the setting application, so that the device manager controls the electronic device 100 to start the conference mode, and when controlling the electronic device 100 to start the conference mode, the device manager invokes a peripheral management interface provided by the device management service and disables related peripherals. When the conference mode is started, the call application can inquire the current working mode of the mobile phone when receiving an incoming call signal or an outgoing signal, so that when the conference mode is started, telephone service is interrupted and a user is prompted.

When the conference is finished or the user needs to use the related peripheral, the user can realize card swiping and sign-in through the mode control application, so that the mode control application controls the electronic equipment 100 to close the conference mode through the equipment manager, and when the electronic equipment 100 is controlled to close the conference mode, the equipment manager calls a peripheral control interface provided by equipment management service and recovers the related peripheral. Or, the user may also manually click on a related control of the conference mode on the setting application, so that the device manager controls the electronic device 100 to close the conference mode, and when the electronic device 100 is controlled to close the conference mode, the device manager invokes a peripheral management interface provided by the device management service and resumes related peripherals.

As can be seen, when the electronic device 100 shown in fig. 5 implements the device control method in the embodiment of the present application, functions such as shooting, recording, positioning, etc. may be disabled when the electronic device 100 starts the target working mode. The method and the device prevent the users from leaking the conference content in the modes of shooting, recording, positioning and the like, and ensure the safety of the conference content.

In addition, the electronic device 100 shown in fig. 5 displays incoming call information or the like when receiving a mobile phone signal, so as to prompt the user for an incoming call. When the user wants to answer the call, the electronic device 100 prompts the user to exit the target working mode to answer the call, and so on. Therefore, the user can know the incoming call or the notification in time and process the incoming call or the notification in time while ensuring the safety of the conference content.

The system structure of the electronic device 100 shown in fig. 5 may be regarded as a working system (e.g., a second application system) of the electronic device 100, and the user may complete an office service on the system structure shown in fig. 5, thereby meeting the working requirements of the individual. For example, a user may use the work system of the electronic device 100 while working, thereby reducing the chances of using personal applications and reducing work-independent operations. In addition, when the user participates in the conference, the target working mode can be started on the electronic equipment 100, so that the user works in focus, and the security of conference content is ensured.

The device control method in the embodiment of the application can be applied to single application system electronic devices running a personal system (such as a first application system), single application system electronic devices running a working system (such as a second application system), and dual application system electronic devices running a personal system (such as a first application system) and a working system (such as a second application system). This is not particularly limited in the embodiments of the present application.

The device control method provided in the embodiment of the present application is described below by taking an example in which the electronic device is a mobile phone and the target operation mode is a conference mode.

The mobile phone comprises a conference mode, when the mobile phone is in the conference mode, some system functions on the mobile phone are disabled or limited, such as internet surfing, photographing functions, video recording functions, positioning functions and the like are disabled, and mobile communication functions and the like are limited. Therefore, when the mobile phone is in the conference mode, the user cannot shoot, record, position or call by using the mobile phone, conference content or work content cannot be leaked in a shooting, recording, positioning or call-by-call mode, and the safety of the conference content or the work content is ensured. Wherein the mobile call function means a function of making a call based on a cellular mobile network.

There are various ways to control the handset to be in conference mode. By way of example, the manner in which the mobile phone is controlled to be in the conference mode may be described in three ways in the embodiments of the present application. Mode one: when a user participates in a conference, the mobile phone is used for signing in the conference, so that the mobile phone is in a conference mode in response to the triggering operation of the user on the signing-in function. Mode two: and the server sends a trigger instruction to the mobile phone when the conference starts, so that the mobile phone is in a conference mode in response to the trigger instruction. In the third mode, the user selects a triggering operation of the conference mode on the mobile phone, so that the mobile phone is in the conference mode in response to the triggering operation of the user.

When the mobile phone is controlled to be in the conference mode in the above manner, the device control method in the embodiment of the present application may be applied to the conference system shown in fig. 1. Referring to fig. 7, the device control method may include the following steps S401 to S403.

S401, the mobile phone is carried by a user to enter a conference site, and a conference mode is started in response to the sign-in operation of the user.

In the mode that the user signs in by using the mobile phone, the user can carry the mobile phone to enter the conference site when participating in the conference.

In some embodiments, the conference site may be provided with a management device for check-in, such as a conference check-in device, check-in machine, punch-out machine, or the like. Meanwhile, the mobile phone can have NFC function, so that short-distance wireless communication can be carried out between the mobile phone and the management and control equipment. When the user needs to check in, the user can pick up the mobile phone to be close to the management and control equipment similarly to the operation of NFC card swiping payment and the like by using the mobile phone, so that the purpose of card swiping and check in is achieved. Or, the mobile phone can also carry out Bluetooth communication with the management and control equipment, so that the aim of signing in is fulfilled. Or still, the mobile phone can scan the meeting two-dimensional code and the like provided by the management and control equipment, so that the aim of signing in is fulfilled.

In other embodiments, the conference site may not be provided with a management device for check-in. And a mode control application (e.g., check-in application) for meeting check-in may be installed on the handset. A technician or conference manager or the like may have previously configured conference information and information of a participating user in the mode control application so as to associate or match the mode control application with a conference in which the user is currently participating. When a user needs to check in, the mode management and control application can be started on the mobile phone to check in the conference, so that the purpose of manual check-in is achieved.

For example, referring to fig. 8, check-in application 4011 may be displayed on a display interface of the cell phone. When a user performs check-in a meeting, the check-in application 4011 on the mobile phone display interface can be opened, so that the check-in application 4011 is controlled to further display a check-in or check-out display page. If the check-in application 4011 is currently in the check-out state, the user may perform a check-in selection operation on the display page shown in fig. 8 while participating in the conference, thereby triggering the check-in function. If the check-in application 4011 is currently in the check-in state, the user can also perform an operation of selecting check-in on the display page shown in fig. 8 when ending the conference.

Wherein, the user can select to check in or select to check out on the same control shown in fig. 8. For example, if check-in application 4011 is currently in a check-out state, control 4012 may be in an unselected state, at which time control 4012 may also be represented as uncolored or grayed out. The user may click on or touch control 4012 while proceeding with a check-in, thereby triggering control 4012 to change to a selected state, at which time control 4012 may be colored, e.g., displaying blue, green, etc.

In some embodiments, when a user performs a swipe check-in with a mobile phone, the mobile phone may directly turn on the conference mode in response to a check-in operation of the user. In other embodiments, if the check-in application is installed in the mobile phone, when the user uses the mobile phone to perform card swiping check-in, the mobile phone can respond to the check-in operation of the user to control the check-in application to be started. After the sign-in application is started, a control instruction can be sent to the mobile phone, so that the mobile phone responds to the control instruction to start a conference mode.

In some embodiments, the mobile phone may further include multiple modes of operation, such as a focus mode, a conference mode, a normal mode, and the like. The applications or functions on the handset are used in different modes.

For example, in the normal mode, the mobile phone does not limit the use of the user, and both the application and the function on the mobile phone can be used by the user. In the focus mode, in order to avoid that some applications affect the user's focus, the mobile phone may limit the use of the user, for example, disable chat applications, social applications, browser applications, and so on, and limit call functions, video functions, voice functions, and so on. In the conference mode, in order to enable the user to participate in the conference in a concentrated manner and avoid leakage of conference content, the mobile phone also makes restrictions on the use of the user, and disables or restricts some applications or functions that may cause leakage of the conference content, such as a surfing function, a positioning function, a photographing function, a recording function, a talking function, and the like. It should be noted that, the user may also set the applications and functions that need to be limited or disabled in the above-mentioned concentration mode according to his own needs.

After leaving the factory, the mobile phone can operate in a default working mode, such as a common mode. Then, the user can switch the current working mode of the mobile phone into a conference mode, a concentration mode and the like according to the own requirements. For example, the user may switch the current working mode of the mobile phone to the conference mode by the sign-in mode.

In some embodiments, when the mobile phone is in the conference mode, in order to facilitate the user to know the current working state, a prompt of the current working mode may also be displayed for the user on the display page of the mobile phone. The prompt can be displayed in the form of an icon or in the form of text information.

For example, referring to fig. 9, the prompt may be displayed in a status bar of the mobile phone, and specifically may be displayed in the form of a capsule icon 4021. After the conference mode is started, the conference mode is displayed on the capsule icon 4021, so as to prompt the user that the mobile phone is currently in the conference mode.

Under the condition that the check-in application is installed in the mobile phone, a user can check in a conference by using a card-swiping check-in mode, and can check in a conference by using a manual check-in mode. Regardless of the meeting signing-in mode, after the signing-in is successful, a prompt that the mobile phone is in a signing-in state currently can be displayed on a page of a signing-in application, so that a user can know the current signing-in state of the mobile phone conveniently. By way of example, the prompt may be represented by the colored control shown in fig. 8 described above, indicating that the phone is in check-in state when the control is colored, and so on.

S402, when the mobile phone is in the conference mode, the first system function is disabled, and the second system function is limited to be used.

In the embodiment of the application, the first system function and the second system function represent functions having leakage risk for conference content, and the content leakage risk of the first system function is greater than the content leakage risk of the second system function. In some embodiments, some system functions may be invoked or implemented by the corresponding application, and then these system functions may be disabled or limited, and the corresponding application may be disabled or limited accordingly.

First system functions, such as photographing, video recording, audio recording, positioning, etc., are generally considered to be functions with a high risk of content leakage, which need to be disabled when the conference mode is on. Therefore, the user cannot save the conference content through the functions of photographing, video recording, audio recording and the like, and after the conference is finished, the saved conference content is leaked out, so that the safety of the conference content is ensured. And, the user can't send the meeting place to other users irrelevant to the meeting through functions such as positioning, so that other users can be prevented from finding the meeting place, entering the meeting site, knowing the meeting content, and the like, and the risk of leakage of the meeting content is reduced.

Although the second system function, such as mobile phone call, short message, etc., has a lower risk of content leakage than the first system function, it is also unavoidable that the user leaks conference content to other users unrelated to the conference by means of mobile phone, short message, etc. Therefore, these functions need to be restricted from being used when the conference mode is on. When the functions are limited to be used, the mobile phone can still receive incoming call signals, short messages and the like, but the user is not allowed to answer the incoming call and make a call, and is not allowed to send the short messages and the like. In this way, the user cannot send the conference content or conference place and the like to other users irrelevant to the conference in a telephone and short message mode, so that the risk of leakage of the conference content is reduced.

In some embodiments, the handset may disable functions such as surfing the internet in addition to disabling the first system function and restricting use of the second system function while in the conference mode. Thereby avoiding users from leaking the content of the conference through the network.

S403, the mobile phone responds to the sign-in operation of the user to close the conference mode.

In some embodiments, when the meeting ends, the user may again check in with the cell phone. The user can conduct close-range wireless communication between the mobile phone and the management and control equipment on the meeting site, so that the purpose of card swiping and signing in is achieved. Or, the user can also control the application to sign in and out the meeting through the opening mode, so that the purpose of manual sign-in and out is realized.

After the user signs off, the mobile phone responds to the sign-off operation of the user and closes the conference mode, so that the disabling of the first system function and the limitation of the second system function are relieved. Or, the mobile phone also responds to the operation of signing in by the user to switch the conference mode to other working modes, such as a common mode and the like, and also releases the disabling of the first system function and the limitation of the second system function.

In the above device control method of the embodiment of the present application, a user may control a mobile phone to start a conference mode by a conference sign-in mode. In addition, when the mobile phone is in the conference mode, some system functions on the mobile phone can be limited, so that the situation that a user leaks conference contents through the mobile phone is reduced, and the safety of the conference contents is ensured.

In addition, in the equipment control method, the user can also sign in the conference through a plurality of conference sign-in modes, so that the sign-in requirements of different users are met. That is, some mobile phones of users do not have NFC function, or conference sites are not provided with management and control devices, etc., so that the users can implement conference check-in by installing mode management and control applications on the mobile phones. And some mobile phones of users have NFC functions and the conference site is provided with the management and control equipment, so that the users can communicate with the management and control equipment by utilizing the NFC functions of the mobile phones, and conference sign-in is realized.

When the second control handset is in the conference mode, the device control method in the embodiment of the application may be applied to the conference system shown in fig. 2. Referring to fig. 10, the device control method may include the following steps S501 to S504.

S501, the electronic equipment corresponding to the administrator sends configuration information of the conference to the server.

The administrator may be a conference administrator, an equipment administrator, a technician configuring a conference, or the like, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present application. For example, the configuration information of the conference may include user information for participating in the conference, device information of the user, conference start time, conference end time, conference address, and the like. The user information may include a user name, a user identification, etc., and the user's device information may include a device code, a device number, a device address, a device identification, etc.

In some embodiments, after determining that the user needs to participate in the conference, the user information may be sent to the electronic device corresponding to the administrator through the mobile phone carrying the conference, and the mobile phone may also automatically send the device information of the user to the electronic device corresponding to the administrator together while sending the user information. The electronic device corresponding to the administrator may be an electronic device with data processing capability, such as a mobile phone, a notebook computer, a tablet computer, and the like.

After the electronic equipment corresponding to the administrator collects the user information and the equipment information of the user, the user information and the equipment information of the user are sent to the server together with the meeting starting time, the meeting ending time, the meeting address and the like, so that relevant contents of the meeting are configured.

S502, the server receives configuration information of the conference, and when the current time reaches the conference starting time, a trigger instruction is sent to a mobile phone of a user participating in the conference, so that the mobile phone is controlled to start a conference mode. The meeting starting time may be represented as a first preset time; the conference end time may represent a second preset time; the conference address may be represented as a preset address.

In some embodiments, the mobile phone of the user participating in the conference also reports the current position information to the server in real time, and the server determines whether the mobile phone reaches the conference address or whether the mobile phone reaches the vicinity of the conference address according to the position information reported by the mobile phone. If the current time has reached the meeting start time and the user's handset reaches the meeting address or reaches the vicinity of the meeting address, the server may send a trigger instruction to the user's handset, thereby controlling the handset to start the meeting mode.

S503, the mobile phone responds to a triggering instruction sent by the server to start a conference mode; and when the mobile phone is in the conference mode, disabling the first system function and limiting the use of the second system function.

The content related to the first system function and the second system function refers to the content in the foregoing embodiment, and will not be described herein.

In some embodiments, when the server controls the mobile phone to start the conference mode, a corresponding prompt can be displayed on the mobile phone, so that the user can know that the mobile phone has started the conference mode. The prompt may be a text prompt message, or may be a capsule icon as shown in fig. 9 in the above embodiment.

S504, the mobile phone responds to a control instruction sent by the server to close the conference mode.

In some embodiments, when the current time reaches the conference end time (for example, the second preset time), the server may issue a control instruction to the mobile phone again, and the mobile phone responds to the control instruction to close the conference mode, thereby disabling the first system function and also removing the limitation of the second system function. Alternatively, the mobile phone may also switch the conference mode to other operation modes, such as a normal mode, in response to the control instruction, and disable the first system function and limit the second system function.

In other embodiments, the administrator may further adjust the meeting end time according to the meeting progress condition, and send a new meeting end time to the server through the corresponding electronic device, so that when the current time reaches the new meeting end time (for example, the second preset time), the server issues a control instruction to the mobile phone again, and at this time, the mobile phone may respond to the instruction and close the meeting mode.

Or if the administrator cannot predict or predict the conference ending time, the control instruction of conference delay can be sent to the server through the corresponding electronic equipment, so that the server does not send the control instruction to the mobile phone again when the current time reaches the original conference ending time. Therefore, even if the conference is not finished, the server can not control the mobile phone to close the conference mode, so that the mobile phone is always in the conference mode in the conference process, and the situation that the user has a chance to use the mobile phone to leak conference contents is avoided.

In the above device control method of the embodiment of the present application, a mobile phone of a user participating in a conference may be controlled by an administrator remotely to start a conference mode. In addition, when the mobile phone is in the conference mode, some system functions on the mobile phone can be limited, so that the situation that a user leaks conference contents through the mobile phone is reduced, and the safety of the conference contents is ensured.

When the third control handset is in the conference mode in the above manner, referring to fig. 11, the device control method in the embodiment of the present application may include the following steps S601 to S603.

S601, a user selects a conference mode on the mobile phone.

When the mobile phone comprises a conference mode, a control for opening or closing the conference mode can be displayed on a corresponding functional page. The user may select to turn on the conference mode or to turn off the conference mode by clicking on a control, touching a control, or the like.

In some embodiments, the functional page for displaying the control corresponding to the conference mode may be a drop-down bar page of the mobile phone, or may be a setting page of the mobile phone. The user can slide towards the target direction on the mobile phone display page, so that the mobile phone is controlled to display a functional page corresponding to the conference mode control.

For example, referring to fig. 12, the user may slide down from the top of the handset display page to control the handset to display a drop down bar page. Icons or controls corresponding to various mobile phone functions can be displayed on the drop-down bar page, wherein the icons or controls comprise controls corresponding to the conference mode. When the mobile phone is not in the conference mode, the control corresponding to the conference mode is in an unselected state. When the user wants to start the conference mode, the user can click on the control corresponding to the conference mode, so that the control corresponding to the conference mode is in a selected state. Referring to fig. 13, when the control corresponding to the conference mode is in the selected state, the control may be represented as a colored control, for example, blue, green, or the like.

For example, referring to fig. 14, the user may open a setup page of the handset, and the conference mode may be included in the relevant content of the privacy options of the setup page. After clicking the privacy option, the user can further display a control corresponding to the conference mode on the privacy page displayed on the mobile phone. For example, the control may be represented as a control in the form of a switch. Referring to fig. 15, when the mobile phone is not in the conference mode, the control corresponding to the conference mode is in the off state. When the user wants to start the conference mode, the user can click on the control corresponding to the conference mode, so that the control corresponding to the conference mode is in an open state.

In some embodiments, the user may also search for a conference mode on a search page of the mobile phone, so as to control the mobile phone to display a function page where a control corresponding to the conference mode is located.

For example, referring to fig. 16, after the user searches the conference mode on the search page, the user clicks the "privacy" control, etc., and may control the mobile phone to display a setup page including the control corresponding to the conference mode, for example, display the privacy page shown in fig. 15 and the like. The user may continue to select whether to turn on the meeting mode on the settings page.

S602, responding to the triggering operation of a user on a conference mode by the mobile phone, and starting the conference mode; and disabling the first system function and restricting use of the second system function when the handset is in the conference mode.

In some embodiments, when the user manually controls the mobile phone to start the conference mode, a corresponding prompt can be displayed on the mobile phone, so that the user can know that the mobile phone has started the conference mode. The prompt may be a text prompt message, or may be a capsule icon as shown in fig. 9 in the above embodiment.

S603, the mobile phone responds to the closing operation of the user on the conference mode, and the conference mode is closed.

In some embodiments, when the conference is over, or when the user wants to use the mobile phone to process personal services, the user may control the mobile phone to close the conference mode by clicking a control, touching the control, etc. again.

According to the equipment control method, a user participating in a conference can manually control the mobile phone to start or close a conference mode according to the user, the requirement of the conference and the like. In addition, when the mobile phone is in the conference mode, some system functions on the mobile phone can be limited, so that the situation that a user leaks conference contents through the mobile phone is reduced, and the safety of the conference contents is ensured.

When the mobile phone is in the conference mode, the first system function is required to be disabled and the second system function is required to be limited to be used. In some cases, the user may forget that the user is currently in a meeting and wants to use the first system function or the second system function, and the handset may also alert the user that these functions are not currently available.

Based on this, in some embodiments, the mobile phone may also detect that the user selects to use the operation of the first system function or the second system function, or detect that the user triggers the operation of the first system function or the second system function when in the conference mode.

If the mobile phone detects that the user selects to use the first system function in the conference mode, the mobile phone can send out forbidden prompt information to the user, so that the user is reminded that the corresponding function of the current mobile phone is forbidden or the current mobile phone is in the conference mode and the like.

For example, if the user wants to use the photographing function of the first system function while the mobile phone is in the conference mode, referring to fig. 17, the user may select an icon 1701 corresponding to the camera application on the display page of the mobile phone through a click, touch, or the like trigger operation. After selecting the camera icon 1701, the phone will display a prompt to the user that the camera function is disabled, for example, "camera function disabled-! "etc. After seeing the prompt, the user may continue to select an option such as "know" by clicking, touching, etc. triggering an operation, thereby controlling the closing of the prompt or the closing of the camera application, etc.

For example, if the user wants to use the recording function in the first system function while the mobile phone is in the conference mode, referring to fig. 18, the user may select an icon 1801 corresponding to the recording application on the display page of the mobile phone through a click, touch, or other triggering operation. After selecting icon 1801, the mobile phone may display a prompt to the user that the recording function is disabled, for example, "recording function disabled-! "etc. After seeing the prompt, the user may continue to select an option such as "ok" by clicking, touching, etc. trigger operations, thereby controlling closing of the prompt or closing of the recording application, etc.

For example, if the user wants to use the positioning function of the first system function while the mobile phone is in the conference mode, referring to fig. 19, the user may slide down from the top of the mobile phone display page, thereby controlling the mobile phone to display the drop-down bar page. A control 1901 corresponding to the positioning function is also displayed on the drop-down bar page. Since the handset is currently in conference mode, control 1901 is in a non-selectable state for prompting the user that the positioning function has currently been turned off and disabled.

When the mobile phone closes the conference mode, the disabled functions can be recovered to be normal, and the user can select corresponding functions according to own requirements.

If the mobile phone detects that the user selects to use the second system function in the conference mode, the mobile phone can also send out the use limiting prompt information to the user, so that the user is reminded of needing to exit the conference mode to use the corresponding function and the like.

As described above, the mobile phone may enter the conference mode by the user or by the administrator. If the mobile phone enters the conference mode and is controlled by the user by signing in or manually starting the conference mode, the mobile phone can prompt the user to close the conference mode by itself when the user selects to use the second system function under the condition that the mobile phone is in the conference mode. So that the user can normally use the second system function after closing the conference mode.

For example, if the user wants to make a call using the call function of the second system function while the mobile phone is in the conference mode, referring to fig. 20, the user may select an icon 2001 corresponding to the call application on the display page of the mobile phone through clicking, touching, or the like. After selecting icon 2001, the handset continues to display the dial page for dialing. Because the mobile phone is currently in the conference mode, when the user selects a dialing control (such as a number key, a dialing key, etc.) by clicking, touching, etc. on the dialing page, the mobile phone also displays a prompt to the user that the mobile phone is currently in the conference mode, such as "the conference mode has a microphone disabled. Is conference mode turned off during a call? "etc.

For example, when the mobile phone is in the conference mode, if the mobile phone receives an incoming signal, an answer page as shown in fig. 21 is displayed on the display page, and an answer control 2101, a hang-up control 2102 and the like are also displayed on the answer page, where the answer page may be a screen locking page or a non-screen locking page. Because the handset is currently in the conference mode, when the user selects the answer control 2101 by clicking, touching, etc. trigger operation, the handset will display a prompt to the user on the answer page that the handset is currently in the conference mode, e.g. "conference mode disabled microphone". Is conference mode turned off during a call? "etc.

After seeing the prompt that the mobile phone is in the conference mode, if the user still wants to make or receive a call, the user can leave the conference site and close the conference mode by means of sign-in or manually close the conference mode.

In some embodiments, the mobile phone may also support operation of closing the conference mode by one key, and display a closing control for closing the conference mode on the dial page or the answer page, etc.

For example, a control 2002 corresponding to "close and talk" is displayed on the dial page shown in fig. 20, and when the user selects the control 2002 by clicking, touching, or the like, the mobile phone can be directly controlled to close the conference mode, and the prompt on the dial page is closed, so that the user can perform the dial operation. If the user does not currently have a dialing request, the corresponding control 2003 may be selected to "cancel" to close the prompt on the dial page or close the dial page, etc.

Or, the "close and answer" corresponding control 2103 is displayed on the answer page shown in fig. 21, and when the user selects the control 2103 through clicking, touching or other operations, the mobile phone can be directly controlled to close the conference mode, and the prompt on the answer page is closed, so that the user can perform the answer operation. If the user does not currently answer the demand, then the "cancel" corresponding control 2104 may be selected, thereby controlling the handset to hang up, etc.

If the mobile phone enters the conference mode and is controlled by an administrator or the like, the mobile phone can prompt the user to close the conference mode by the operation of the administrator when the user selects to use the second system function under the condition that the mobile phone is in the conference mode. Therefore, after the administrator closes the conference mode of the mobile phone, the user can normally use the second system function of the mobile phone.

For example, if the user wants to make a call using the call function of the second system function while the mobile phone is in the conference mode, referring to fig. 22, the user may select an icon 2201 corresponding to the call application on the display page of the mobile phone through clicking, touching, or the like. After selecting icon 2201, the handset continues to display the dial page for dialing. Because the mobile phone is currently in the conference mode, when the user selects a dialing control (such as a number key, a dialing key and the like) through clicking, touching and the like on the dialing page, the mobile phone also displays a prompt of being in the conference mode to the user on the dialing page, for example, the microphone is disabled in the conference mode. If the meeting mode needs to be closed, please contact the administrator. "etc. If the user does not currently have a dialing request, the corresponding control 2202 may be selected to "cancel" to close the prompt on the dial page or close the dial page, etc.

For example, when the mobile phone is in the conference mode, if the mobile phone receives an incoming signal, an answer page as shown in fig. 23 is displayed on the display page, and an answer control 2301, a hang-up control 2302 and the like are also displayed on the answer page, where the answer page may be a screen locking page or a non-screen locking page. Because the handset is currently in the conference mode, when the user selects the answer control 2301 by a click, touch, or other trigger operation, the handset will display a prompt to the user on the answer page that is currently in the conference mode, e.g., the "conference mode disabled microphone". If the meeting mode needs to be closed, please contact the administrator. "etc. If the user does not currently answer the demand, the "cancel" corresponding control 2303 may be selected, thereby controlling the handset to hang up, etc.

After the user sees the prompt that the mobile phone is in the conference mode, if the user still wants to dial or answer the call, the user can leave the conference site and request to close the conference mode to the administrator, if the administrator agrees to close the conference mode of the user, the administrator can send instructions or information to the server again by using the corresponding electronic equipment, and the like, so that a control instruction is sent to the mobile phone of the user through the server, and the conference mode on the mobile phone corresponding to the user is controlled to be closed.

In the above-described embodiments, the contents in which the call function is limited in the second system function are described by way of example only. In other embodiments, the same or similar scheme may be used to limit other functions, such as short messages, in the second system function. This is not particularly limited in the embodiments of the present application.

In the above embodiments, only an exemplary explanation may trigger the restriction of the dialing function with the display of the dialing page. In other embodiments, the limitation on the dialing function may be triggered by the display of other pages, such as a call log page, a contact page, or the like, that is, the mobile phone may display the prompt content in fig. 20 or fig. 22 in the foregoing embodiments when the user selects to display the call log page or the contact page.

In the above embodiments, it is merely exemplary that whether the user wants to answer the incoming call is determined in such a manner that the mobile phone detection function buttons, controls, icons, etc. are operated, so that the answering function is limited. In other embodiments, after the mobile phone is connected to the wireless headset or the wired headset, the mobile phone may further detect whether the user operates an answer key of the headset to determine whether the user wants to answer the call, thereby limiting the answering function. For example, if the user presses the answer key on the earphone, the mobile phone will also display the prompt content in fig. 21 or fig. 23 in the foregoing embodiments.

In the above device control method of the embodiment of the present application, after the conference mode is started, some system functions with content leakage risk are disabled or limited, so that the situation that the user leaks the conference content through these system functions on the mobile phone is reduced, and the safety of the conference content is ensured. And when limiting the call function, if the mobile phone receives an incoming signal, the mobile phone also displays an answering page for the user, so that the user is prompted to answer the call after the conference mode is closed, and the user is ensured to process the emergency call in time.

In some embodiments, if the user is using the first system function or the second system function of the mobile phone before the mobile phone does not start the conference mode, the first system function or the second system function being used is turned off immediately after the mobile phone starts the conference mode, and a related prompt that the mobile phone is currently in the conference mode is displayed.

For example, after the mobile phone starts the conference mode, referring to fig. 24, the mobile phone detects whether there is an operation such as audio recording or video recording, and if so, stops the current processes such as audio recording or video recording; and the mobile phone also detects whether the current call operation exists, and if so, the current call process is stopped. Also, for example, referring to fig. 25, after stopping recording, the handset may display, for example, "conference mode disabled microphone" on the display page. The current recording has ended. "prompt. And the related operation controls on the recording page are also in an unselected state, so that the user cannot record again in the state that the conference mode is opened.

Therefore, in the device control method of the embodiment of the present application, after the conference mode is started, some system functions with content leakage risk in use are disabled or limited, so that the situation that the user leaks the conference content through the system functions on the mobile phone is reduced, and the safety of the conference content is ensured.

The device control method in the foregoing embodiment of the present application may be applied to a single application system mobile phone running a personal system, or may be applied to a single application system mobile phone running a working system, or may be applied to a dual application system mobile phone running a personal system and a working system, or a multi-application system mobile phone.

When the above device control method is applied to a mobile phone with a single application system, the process performed by the method may refer to the content in the foregoing embodiment, which is not described herein again.

When the above-described device control method is applied to a dual-application or multi-application mobile phone, the procedure performed by the above-described device control method may refer to the contents of the foregoing embodiments when a target application supporting or configured with a conference mode is running in the foreground on the mobile phone. And when the mobile phone is in the conference mode, the switching operation of the application system is forbidden, namely the target application system running in the current foreground is forbidden to be switched to the background running, and corresponding prompt information is displayed.

In an exemplary dual-application mobile phone of a user, only the working system supports the conference mode, so that when the user participates in the conference, the working system needs to be switched to a foreground to operate, and then the conference mode is started through sign-in, manual control or administrator control. After the mobile phone starts the conference mode, if the user wants to switch the personal system to the foreground operation, after detecting that the user has a related operation, referring to fig. 26, the mobile phone responds to the operation to display a prompt such as "disable switching of the system when the conference mode is started, please retry after the shutdown", etc.

If the user still wants to switch the application system after seeing the prompt, the user can leave the conference site, and the user can sign in and out the conference by himself, close the conference mode by himself or close the conference mode on the mobile phone corresponding to the user by contacting the administrator. After the conference mode is closed, the user can switch the operation of the system to the mobile phone.

As can be seen, the device control method of the embodiment of the present application may be applied to a mobile phone with a single application system or a mobile phone with multiple application systems, and at least one application system in the mobile phone needs to support the conference mode. When the mobile phone starts a conference mode, a user cannot switch an application system running in the current foreground to a background running, so that the user cannot leak conference contents by using the application system running in the background, and the safety of the conference contents is ensured.
