detailed description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in the following with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The application of the terminal needs to wake up the radio frequency module of the terminal to implement data interaction with the network side. Therefore, the embodiment of the present invention prioritizes the terminal application, and each priority corresponds to the corresponding network environment. Therefore, the radio frequency module of the terminal is less awake to perform data interaction in the case of a poor network environment, and the wireless radio module is more awakened to perform data interaction when the network environment is better, thereby achieving The purpose of terminal power saving.

Referring to FIG. 1 , a method for saving power of a terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. The method may be applied to a terminal, which may be a common mobile terminal device such as a smart phone or a tablet computer. The method may include :

S101: The terminal sets the network level corresponding to the current network environment according to the preset first dividing rule. For example, referring to FIG. 2, step S101 may specifically include S1011 to S1013:

S1011: The terminal detects a network type and a signal strength of the current network.

S1012: The terminal acquires power consumption of the radio frequency module of the terminal according to the network type and signal strength of the current network.

S1013: The terminal determines a network level corresponding to the current network environment according to the power consumption of the radio frequency module.

It can be understood that the better the network environment, the lower the power consumption of the radio frequency module, and the higher the network level; otherwise, the power consumption of the radio frequency module is larger, and the network level is lower. In this embodiment, the network level is identified in order of ten levels from 1 to 10, wherein the level 1 is the highest level and the level 10 is The lowest level.

S102: When the application in the terminal performs data interaction with the network side, the terminal sets the priority of the application according to the preset priority policy.

Wherein, the priority of the application has a matching relationship with the network level;

Optionally, in this embodiment, the preset priority policy may be a real-time requirement of the application, and the higher the real-time requirement of the application, the higher the priority corresponding to the application, for example, in actual In an application, the real-time requirement of the instant messaging application is greater than the real-time requirement of the date management application. Accordingly, the instant messaging application has a higher priority than the date management application. In this embodiment, the priority of the application can be divided into five levels, the first level is the highest, and the fifth level is the lowest. It can be understood that the higher the priority of the application, the higher the real-time requirement of the application.

It should be noted that due to the lower priority of the application, the real-time requirement of the application is lower. At this time, when the network environment is not ideal, the low-priority application frequently wakes up the wireless of the terminal. The RF module interacts with the data on the network side to additionally increase the power consumption of the radio frequency module. Therefore, based on the idea of “data interaction between applications with low real-time requirements when the network environment is relatively good,” In this embodiment, the priority of the application has a matching relationship with the network level. In this embodiment, the matching relationship may be: the higher the priority of the application, the lower the terminal allows the application to perform data interaction. The lower the network level. For example, for an application with priority level 1, the minimum network level that the terminal allows for data interaction can be level 10, that is, even if the network environment is under the worst conditions, the terminal still allows the application to perform with the network side. Data interaction; an application with a priority of 5, then the minimum network level at which the terminal allows the application to perform data interaction can be level 2, that is, when the network level is level 2 or higher, the terminal will Allows the application to interact with the network side for data.

S103: The terminal controls the application according to the network level, the priority of the application, and the matching relationship. Whether the sequence performs data interaction with the network side, and controls the order in which the application interacts with the network side according to the priority order; for example, step S103 may specifically include:

When the terminal determines that the priority of the application does not match the network level according to the matching relationship, the terminal control application does not perform data interaction with the network side;

When the terminal determines that the priority of the application matches the network level according to the matching relationship, the terminal controls the application to perform data interaction with the network side.

It can be understood that the terminal can control whether the application interacts with the network side according to the network level corresponding to the current network environment, the priority of the application that performs data interaction with the network side, and the matching relationship in step S102; for example, priority For a level 1 application, when the current network environment corresponds to a network level of 10 or higher, the terminal controls its data interaction with the network side; if the priority is a level 5 application, then the network corresponding to the current network environment When the level is level 2 or higher, the terminal controls the application to perform data interaction with the network side; otherwise, the terminal controls the application to not interact with the network side.

It is also understood that the terminal controls the order in which the application interacts with the network side according to the priority order, which may be: in the case of the network level corresponding to the current network environment, the terminal may be controlled from high to low according to the priority order of the application. The application interacts with the network side. For example, in the network level corresponding to the current network environment, the terminal needs to control the application A with the priority level 1, the application B with the priority level 4, and the application with the priority level 2. Program C interacts with the network side. Then, the terminal will control application A, application C, and application B to interact with the network side according to the order of priority from high to low.

It should be noted that, in order to avoid the situation that the network environment continues to be poor, and the data cannot be exchanged with the network side, the terminal power saving method provided in this embodiment may further include: When the terminal control application does not interact with the network side, the terminal raises the priority of the application. Specifically, in this embodiment, when the terminal control application does not perform data interaction with the network side in a preset period, the terminal may respond Increase the level of priority with the program.

The embodiment provides a method for saving power of a terminal. According to the current network environment, determining whether the application performs data interaction with the network side according to the priority of the application, and the wireless RF module of the terminal may be in a bad network environment. It is less awakened to perform data interaction, and more allows the radio frequency module to work in a better network environment to wake up to perform data interaction, thereby reducing the power consumption of the radio frequency module, thereby saving power and improving The battery life of the terminal battery effectively extends the terminal standby time.

Referring to FIG. 3, a detailed flow of a method for power saving of a terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. In this embodiment, an instant messaging application A and a date management application B are installed in the terminal, and the method may include :

S301: The terminal detects a network type and a signal strength of the current network.

S302: The terminal acquires power consumption of the radio frequency module of the terminal according to the network type and signal strength of the current network.

S303: The terminal determines, according to power consumption of the radio frequency module, a network level corresponding to the current network environment.

It should be noted that the steps S301 to S303 enable the terminal to complete the setting of the network level corresponding to the current network environment. It can be understood that the better the network environment, the lower the power consumption of the radio frequency module, and the higher the network level; The power consumption of the RF module is large, and the network level is lower. In this embodiment, the network level is sequentially identified by ten levels of level 1 to level 10, wherein level 1 is the highest level and level 10 is the lowest level.

S304: When the application in the terminal performs data interaction with the network side, the terminal sets the priority of the application according to the preset priority policy.

In this embodiment, the real-time requirement of the application A is higher than the application B, therefore, the priority of the application A is higher than that of the application B; and the priority of the application and the network level The matching relationship may be: when the network level is 8 or higher, the application A can perform data interaction with the network side; when the network level is 2 or higher, the application B can perform data interaction with the network side. .

S305: The terminal controls whether the application performs data interaction with the network side according to the network level, the priority of the application, and the matching relationship, and controls the order in which the application interacts with the network side according to the priority order.

Specifically, when the terminal determines, according to the matching relationship, that the priority of the application does not match the network level, the terminal control application does not perform data interaction with the network side;

It can be understood that the application A and the application B have the same priority as before, and the matching relationship is also as before. Then, if the current network environment corresponds to a network level of 8 or less, the terminal control application A and the application B both Data interaction does not occur with the network side; if the current network environment corresponds to a network level of 3 to 8, the terminal control application A performs data interaction with the network side, and the control application B does not perform data interaction with the network side; When the network level corresponding to the network environment is level 2 or higher, the terminal control application A and the application B both perform data interaction with the network side, and control the network according to the order of priority of the application from high to low. Interaction, the terminal recalls that the application A controls the data interaction with the network side, and then controls the application B to interact with the network side.

It should also be noted that if the network environment continues to be in a bad situation, for example, if the network level continues to be 9 levels, then in a preset period, the terminal control application A and application B are not connected to the network. The data is exchanged on the side, but in order to prevent the application from being incapable of interacting with the network side due to the continuous poor network environment, the embodiment may further include:

S306: The terminal increases the priority of the application;

Specifically, in a preset period, when the terminal control application does not perform data interaction with the network side, the terminal may raise the priority of the application by one level. For example, if the priority of the application A is upgraded to level 1, then when the network level is level 9, the terminal can control the data interaction between the application A and the network side according to the matching relationship.

Based on the same technical concept of the foregoing embodiment, referring to FIG. 4, a structure of a terminal 40 according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. The terminal 40 may include: a first setting unit 401, a second setting unit 402, and a control unit 403. ,among them,

The control unit 403 is configured to control whether the application performs data interaction with the network side according to the network level, the priority of the application, and the matching relationship, and controls the order in which the application interacts with the network side according to the priority order.

Illustratively, the control unit 403 is configured to:

When the terminal 40 determines that the priority of the application does not match the network level according to the matching relationship, the control application does not perform data interaction with the network side;

And, when the terminal 40 determines, according to the matching relationship, the priority of the application matches the network level. The control application interacts with the network side for data interaction.

Exemplarily, the second setting unit 402 is further configured to increase the priority of the application when the terminal 40 controls the application not to perform data interaction with the network side within a preset period.

Illustratively, referring to FIG. 5, the first setting unit 401 includes a detecting subunit 4011, an obtaining subunit 4012, and a determining subunit 4013, where
