In the following description, suffixes such as "module", "component", or "unit" used to denote elements are used only for facilitating the explanation of the present invention, and have no specific meaning in themselves. Thus, "module" and "component" may be used in a mixture.

The mobile terminal may be implemented in various forms. For example, the terminal described in the present invention may include a mobile terminal such as a mobile phone, a smart phone, a notebook computer, a digital broadcast receiver, a PDA (personal digital assistant), a PAD (tablet computer), a PMP (portable multimedia player), a navigation device, and the like, and a stationary terminal such as a digital TV, a desktop computer, and the like.

More or fewer components may alternatively be implemented. Elements of the mobile terminal will be described in detail below.

The wireless communication unit 110 typically includes one or more components that allow radio communication between the mobile terminal 100 and a wireless communication system or network. For example, the wireless communication unit may include at least one of a broadcast receiving module 111, a mobile communication module 112, a wireless internet module 113, a short-range communication module 114, and a location information module 115.

The broadcast receiving module 111 receives a broadcast signal and/or broadcast associated information from an external broadcast management server via a broadcast channel. The broadcast channel may include a satellite channel and/or a terrestrial channel. The broadcast management server may be a server that generates and transmits a broadcast signal and/or broadcast associated information or a server that receives a previously generated broadcast signal and/or broadcast associated information and transmits it to a terminal. The broadcast signal may include a TV broadcast signal, a radio broadcast signal, a data broadcast signal, and the like. Also, the broadcast signal may further include a broadcast signal combined with a TV or radio broadcast signal. The broadcast associated information may also be provided via a mobile communication network, and in this case, the broadcast associated information may be received by the mobile communication module 112. The broadcast signal may exist in various forms, for example, it may exist in the form of an Electronic Program Guide (EPG) of Digital Multimedia Broadcasting (DMB), an Electronic Service Guide (ESG) of digital video broadcasting-handheld (DVB-H), and the like. The broadcast receiving module 111 may receive a signal broadcast by using various types of broadcasting systems. In particular, the broadcast receiving module 111 may receive digital broadcasting by using a digital broadcasting system such as a digital broadcasting-terrestrial (DMB-T), digital multimedia broadcasting-satellite (DMB-S), digital video broadcasting-handheld (DVB-H), a data broadcasting system of forward link media (MediaFLO), a terrestrial digital broadcasting integrated service (ISDB-T), and the like. The broadcast receiving module 111 may be constructed to be suitable for various broadcasting systems that provide broadcast signals as well as the above-mentioned digital broadcasting systems. The broadcast signal and/or broadcast associated information received via the broadcast receiving module 111 may be stored in the memory 160 (or other type of storage medium).

The mobile communication module 112 transmits and/or receives radio signals to and/or from at least one of a base station (e.g., access point, node B, etc.), an external terminal, and a server. Such radio signals may include voice call signals, video call signals, or various types of data transmitted and/or received according to text and/or multimedia messages.

The wireless internet module 113 supports wireless internet access of the mobile terminal. The module may be internally or externally coupled to the terminal. The wireless internet access technology to which the module relates may include WLAN (wireless LAN) (Wi-Fi), Wibro (wireless broadband), Wimax (worldwide interoperability for microwave access), HSDPA (high speed downlink packet access), and the like.

The short-range communication module 114 is a module for supporting short-range communication. Some examples of short-range communication technologies include bluetooth (TM), Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), infrared data association (IrDA), Ultra Wideband (UWB), zigbee (TM), and the like.

The location information module 115 is a module for checking or acquiring location information of the mobile terminal. A typical example of the location information module is a GPS (global positioning system). According to the current technology, the GPS module 115 calculates distance information and accurate time information from three or more satellites and applies triangulation to the calculated information, thereby accurately calculating three-dimensional current location information according to longitude, latitude, and altitude. Currently, a method for calculating position and time information uses three satellites and corrects an error of the calculated position and time information by using another satellite. In addition, the GPS module 115 can calculate speed information by continuously calculating current position information in real time.

The a/V input unit 120 is used to receive an audio or video signal. The a/V input unit 120 may include a camera 121 and a microphone 122, and the camera 121 processes image data of still pictures or video obtained by an image capturing apparatus in a video capturing mode or an image capturing mode. The processed image frames may be displayed on the display unit 151. The image frames processed by the cameras 121 may be stored in the memory 160 (or other storage medium) or transmitted via the wireless communication unit 110, and two or more cameras 121 may be provided according to the construction of the mobile terminal. The microphone 122 may receive sounds (audio data) via the microphone in a phone call mode, a recording mode, a voice recognition mode, or the like, and can process such sounds into audio data. The processed audio (voice) data may be converted into a format output transmittable to a mobile communication base station via the mobile communication module 112 in case of a phone call mode. The microphone 122 may implement various types of noise cancellation (or suppression) algorithms to cancel (or suppress) noise or interference generated in the course of receiving and transmitting audio signals.

The user input unit 130 may generate key input data according to a command input by a user to control various operations of the mobile terminal. The user input unit 130 allows a user to input various types of information, and may include a keyboard, dome sheet, touch pad (e.g., a touch-sensitive member that detects changes in resistance, pressure, capacitance, and the like due to being touched), scroll wheel, joystick, and the like. In particular, when the touch pad is superimposed on the display unit 151 in the form of a layer, a touch screen may be formed.

The sensing unit 140 detects a current state of the mobile terminal 100 (e.g., an open or closed state of the mobile terminal 100), a position of the mobile terminal 100, presence or absence of contact (i.e., touch input) by a user with the mobile terminal 100, an orientation of the mobile terminal 100, acceleration or deceleration movement and direction of the mobile terminal 100, and the like, and generates a command or signal for controlling an operation of the mobile terminal 100. For example, when the mobile terminal 100 is implemented as a slide-type mobile phone, the sensing unit 140 may sense whether the slide-type phone is opened or closed. In addition, the sensing unit 140 can detect whether the power supply unit 190 supplies power or whether the interface unit 170 is coupled with an external device. The sensing unit 140 may include a proximity sensor 141 as will be described below in connection with a touch screen.

The interface unit 170 serves as an interface through which at least one external device is connected to the mobile terminal 100. For example, the external device may include a wired or wireless headset port, an external power supply (or battery charger) port, a wired or wireless data port, a memory card port, a port for connecting a device having an identification module, an audio input/output (I/O) port, a video I/O port, an earphone port, and the like. The identification module may store various information for authenticating a user using the mobile terminal 100 and may include a User Identity Module (UIM), a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM), a Universal Subscriber Identity Module (USIM), and the like. In addition, a device having an identification module (hereinafter, referred to as an "identification device") may take the form of a smart card, and thus, the identification device may be connected with the mobile terminal 100 via a port or other connection means. The interface unit 170 may be used to receive input (e.g., data information, power, etc.) from an external device and transmit the received input to one or more elements within the mobile terminal 100 or may be used to transmit data between the mobile terminal and the external device.

In addition, when the mobile terminal 100 is connected with an external cradle, the interface unit 170 may serve as a path through which power is supplied from the cradle to the mobile terminal 100 or may serve as a path through which various command signals input from the cradle are transmitted to the mobile terminal. Various command signals or power input from the cradle may be used as signals for recognizing whether the mobile terminal is accurately mounted on the cradle. The output unit 150 is configured to provide output signals (e.g., audio signals, video signals, alarm signals, vibration signals, etc.) in a visual, audio, and/or tactile manner. The output unit 150 may include a display unit 151, an audio output module 152, an alarm unit 153, and the like.

The display unit 151 may display information processed in the mobile terminal 100. For example, when the mobile terminal 100 is in a phone call mode, the display unit 151 may display a User Interface (UI) or a Graphical User Interface (GUI) related to a call or other communication (e.g., text messaging, multimedia file downloading, etc.). When the mobile terminal 100 is in a video call mode or an image capturing mode, the display unit 151 may display a captured image and/or a received image, a UI or GUI showing a video or an image and related functions, and the like.

Meanwhile, when the display unit 151 and the touch pad are overlapped with each other in the form of a layer to form a touch screen, the display unit 151 may serve as an input device and an output device. The display unit 151 may include at least one of a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), a thin film transistor LCD (TFT-LCD), an Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) display, a flexible display, a three-dimensional (3D) display, and the like. Some of these displays may be configured to be transparent to allow a user to view from the outside, which may be referred to as transparent displays, and a typical transparent display may be, for example, a TOLED (transparent organic light emitting diode) display or the like. Depending on the particular desired implementation, the mobile terminal 100 may include two or more display units (or other display devices), for example, the mobile terminal may include an external display unit (not shown) and an internal display unit (not shown). The touch screen may be used to detect a touch input pressure as well as a touch input position and a touch input area.

The audio output module 152 may convert audio data received by the wireless communication unit 110 or stored in the memory 160 into an audio signal and output as sound when the mobile terminal is in a call signal reception mode, a call mode, a recording mode, a voice recognition mode, a broadcast reception mode, or the like. Also, the audio output module 152 may provide audio output related to a specific function performed by the mobile terminal 100 (e.g., a call signal reception sound, a message reception sound, etc.). The audio output module 152 may include a speaker, a buzzer, and the like.

The alarm unit 153 may provide an output to notify the mobile terminal 100 of the occurrence of an event. Typical events may include call reception, message reception, key signal input, touch input, and the like. In addition to audio or video output, the alarm unit 153 may provide output in different ways to notify the occurrence of an event. For example, the alarm unit 153 may provide an output in the form of vibration, and when a call, a message, or some other incoming communication (incomingmunication) is received, the alarm unit 153 may provide a tactile output (i.e., vibration) to inform the user thereof. By providing such a tactile output, the user can recognize the occurrence of various events even when the user's mobile phone is in the user's pocket. The alarm unit 153 may also provide an output notifying the occurrence of an event via the display unit 151 or the audio output module 152.

The memory 160 may store software programs and the like for processing and controlling operations performed by the controller 180, or may temporarily store data (e.g., a phonebook, messages, still images, videos, and the like) that has been or will be output. Also, the memory 160 may store data regarding various ways of vibration and audio signals output when a touch is applied to the touch screen.

The memory 160 may include at least one type of storage medium including a flash memory, a hard disk, a multimedia card, a card-type memory (e.g., SD or DX memory, etc.), a Random Access Memory (RAM), a Static Random Access Memory (SRAM), a read-only memory (ROM), an electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM), a programmable read-only memory (PROM), a magnetic memory, a magnetic disk, an optical disk, and the like. Also, the mobile terminal 100 may cooperate with a network storage device that performs a storage function of the memory 160 through a network connection.

The controller 180 generally controls the overall operation of the mobile terminal. For example, the controller 180 performs control and processing related to voice calls, data communications, video calls, and the like. In addition, the controller 180 may include a multimedia module 181 for reproducing (or playing back) multimedia data, and the multimedia module 181 may be constructed within the controller 180 or may be constructed separately from the controller 180. The controller 180 may perform a pattern recognition process to recognize a handwriting input or a picture drawing input performed on the touch screen as a character or an image.

The power supply unit 190 receives external power or internal power and provides appropriate power required to operate various elements and components under the control of the controller 180.

The various embodiments described herein may be implemented in a computer-readable medium using, for example, computer software, hardware, or any combination thereof. For a hardware implementation, the embodiments described herein may be implemented using at least one of an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC), a Digital Signal Processor (DSP), a Digital Signal Processing Device (DSPD), a Programmable Logic Device (PLD), a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), a processor, a controller, a microcontroller, a microprocessor, an electronic unit designed to perform the functions described herein, and in some cases, such embodiments may be implemented in the controller 180. For a software implementation, the implementation such as a process or a function may be implemented with a separate software module that allows performing at least one function or operation. The software codes may be implemented by software applications (or programs) written in any suitable programming language, which may be stored in the memory 160 and executed by the controller 180.

Up to this point, mobile terminals have been described in terms of their functionality. Hereinafter, a slide-type mobile terminal among various types of mobile terminals, such as a folder-type, bar-type, swing-type, slide-type mobile terminal, and the like, will be described as an example for the sake of brevity. Accordingly, the present invention can be applied to any type of mobile terminal, and is not limited to a slide type mobile terminal.

The mobile terminal 100 as shown in fig. 1 may be configured to operate with communication systems such as wired and wireless communication systems and satellite-based communication systems that transmit data via frames or packets.

A communication system in which a mobile terminal according to the present invention is operable will now be described with reference to fig. 2.

Such communication systems may use different air interfaces and/or physical layers. For example, the air interface used by the communication system includes, for example, Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA), Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), and Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) (in particular, Long Term Evolution (LTE)), global system for mobile communications (GSM), and the like. By way of non-limiting example, the following description relates to a CDMA communication system, but such teachings are equally applicable to other types of systems.

Referring to fig. 2, the CDMA wireless communication system may include a plurality of mobile terminals 100, a plurality of Base Stations (BSs) 270, Base Station Controllers (BSCs) 275, and a Mobile Switching Center (MSC) 280. The MSC280 is configured to interface with a Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) 290. The MSC280 is also configured to interface with a BSC275, which may be coupled to the base station 270 via a backhaul. The backhaul may be constructed according to any of several known interfaces including, for example, E1/T1, ATM, IP, PPP, frame Relay, HDSL, ADSL, or xDSL. It will be understood that a system as shown in fig. 2 may include multiple BSCs 275.

Each BS270 may serve one or more sectors (or regions), each sector covered by a multi-directional antenna or an antenna pointing in a particular direction being radially distant from the BS 270. Alternatively, each partition may be covered by two or more antennas for diversity reception. Each BS270 may be configured to support multiple frequency allocations, with each frequency allocation having a particular frequency spectrum (e.g., 1.25MHz,5MHz, etc.).

The intersection of partitions with frequency allocations may be referred to as a CDMA channel. The BS270 may also be referred to as a Base Transceiver Subsystem (BTS) or other equivalent terminology. In such a case, the term "base station" may be used to generically refer to a single BSC275 and at least one BS 270. The base stations may also be referred to as "cells". Alternatively, each sector of a particular BS270 may be referred to as a plurality of cell sites.

As shown in fig. 2, a Broadcast Transmitter (BT)295 transmits a broadcast signal to the mobile terminal 100 operating within the system. A broadcast receiving module 111 as shown in fig. 1 is provided at the mobile terminal 100 to receive a broadcast signal transmitted by the BT 295. In fig. 2, several Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites 300 are shown. The satellite 300 assists in locating at least one of the plurality of mobile terminals 100.

In fig. 2, a plurality of satellites 300 are depicted, but it is understood that useful positioning information may be obtained with any number of satellites. The GPS module 115 as shown in fig. 1 is generally configured to cooperate with satellites 300 to obtain desired positioning information. Other techniques that can track the location of the mobile terminal may be used instead of or in addition to GPS tracking techniques. In addition, at least one GPS satellite 300 may selectively or additionally process satellite DMB transmission.

As a typical operation of the wireless communication system, the BS270 receives reverse link signals from various mobile terminals 100. The mobile terminal 100 is generally engaged in conversations, messaging, and other types of communications. Each reverse link signal received by a particular base station 270 is processed within the particular BS 270. The obtained data is forwarded to the associated BSC 275. The BSC provides call resource allocation and mobility management functions including coordination of soft handoff procedures between BSs 270. The BSCs 275 also route the received data to the MSC280, which provides additional routing services for interfacing with the PSTN 290. Similarly, the PSTN290 interfaces with the MSC280, the MSC interfaces with the BSCs 275, and the BSCs 275 accordingly control the BS270 to transmit forward link signals to the mobile terminal 100.

Based on the above mobile terminal hardware structure and communication system, the present invention provides various embodiments of the method.

Example one

The embodiment of the invention provides a mobile terminal. Fig. 3 is a schematic structural diagram of a mobile terminal according to a first embodiment of the present invention; as shown in fig. 3, the mobile terminal includes: a light sensing unit 31, an information processing unit 32, and a control unit 33; wherein,

the light sensing unit 31 is configured to collect ambient light data when a preset condition is met;

the information processing unit 32 is configured to compare the ambient light data collected by the light sensing unit 31 with at least one preset threshold range; wherein each threshold range corresponds to a level parameter; when the ambient light data is in a first threshold range, obtaining a level parameter corresponding to the first threshold range; judging whether the level parameter is matched with a first preset level parameter or not;

the control unit 33 is configured to generate a first instruction when the determination result obtained by the information processing unit 32 is that the level parameter matches a first preset level parameter, and execute the first instruction to activate the flashlight function.

Specifically, the light sensing unit 31 is configured to collect first ambient light data including infrared light and visible light, and collect second ambient light data including infrared light; and performing difference processing on the first ambient light data and the second ambient light to obtain ambient light data containing visible light.

In this embodiment, the photo sensor unit 31 generally has two photo sensor devices, a first photo sensor device is sensitive to both visible light and infrared light, and a second photo sensor device is sensitive to only infrared light; and acquiring first ambient light data through the first light sensitive component, acquiring second ambient light data through the second light sensitive component, and subtracting the second light sensitive component from the first ambient light data, so that the interference of infrared light is reduced to the minimum, and the accurate ambient light parameter for representing visible light is obtained. The ambient light parameter may specifically be light intensity or brightness of visible light.

Further, the acquiring of the ambient light data by the light sensing unit 31 includes acquiring the ambient light data multiple times (for example, three times) according to a preset time period (for example, 100 milliseconds), averaging the multiple acquired ambient light data, and taking the average value as the finally determined ambient light data.

In this embodiment, before the ambient light data is collected, the mobile terminal obtains a third instruction, and after the third instruction is obtained and when a preset condition is met, the ambient light data is collected. As an implementation manner, the third instruction is a wake-up instruction, that is, when the mobile terminal is in a black screen sleep state, a preset key operation (such as a power key operation or a Home key operation) is detected, or a preset gesture operation (a screen wake-up gesture in the black screen state) is detected, or a preset voice instruction is detected, the third instruction is generated. Or generating a third instruction when the mobile terminal is detected to be switched from the first state to the second state; for example, when the mobile terminal is switched from a vertical downward state to a horizontal state, the third instruction is generated.

In this embodiment, the meeting of the preset condition includes: and when the mobile terminal is detected to be not shielded by a shielding object within the preset distance, determining that the preset condition is met. Here, the flashlight application can be prevented from being triggered by mistake in the following two scenarios: one scenario is that the mobile terminal is in an enclosed environment (e.g., a user's clothing pocket, backpack), which may cause the flashlight application to turn on due to false trigger operations; the other scenario is that when the mobile terminal is provided with a protective sleeve, the protective sleeve usually covers the surface of the display screen of the mobile terminal when the mobile terminal is not used; and light optical sensor sets up in the top of display screen usually, when the protective sheath shelters from mobile terminal's display screen place surface, even when the user does not use mobile terminal, thereby also can be because open the flashlight application of false triggering.

In this embodiment, at least one threshold range is preset in the mobile terminal, where the at least one threshold range may specifically be at least one threshold range representing light intensity or brightness, and a unit of the at least one threshold range is the same as a unit of the aforementioned ambient light data. Specifically, each threshold range corresponds to a level parameter, and the level parameter may be, according to the intensity or brightness, as follows: bright, brighter, darker, dark, extremely dark; of course, the level parameter can be set to other levels representing the light intensity or brightness, and is not limited to the illustration in the embodiment. Each level parameter corresponds to a threshold range, the corresponding threshold range can be preset according to an empirical value, and of course, the mobile terminal also supports manual adjustment of the threshold range corresponding to the level parameter.

Here, the information processing unit 32 matches the acquired ambient light data with the at least one threshold range, and determines in which threshold range the ambient light data falls; when the ambient light data is determined to be in a first threshold range, obtaining a level parameter corresponding to the first threshold range; the first threshold range is any one of the at least one threshold range.

Furthermore, a first preset level parameter is set in the mobile terminal to correspondingly turn on the flashlight function; the first preset level parameter is not limited to one level parameter, and may be at least two level parameters. Taking the level parameters as: for example, the first preset level parameter can be preset to be bright and bright, and after the level parameter is determined to be matched with bright or bright, the level parameter is determined to be matched with the first preset level parameter.

Further, when the level parameter matches the first preset level parameter (e.g. bright or brighter), the control unit 33 generates and executes a first instruction, activates the flashlight function based on the first instruction, i.e. without activating the flashlight function by manually triggering the flashlight application, and automatically generates the first instruction to activate the flashlight function when the level parameter corresponding to the detected ambient light data reaches the first preset level parameter.

As another embodiment, the light sensing unit 31 is further configured to collect ambient light data according to a preset time period when the flashlight function is in an activated state;

the information processing unit 32 is further configured to determine a threshold range corresponding to the ambient light data, and based on a level parameter corresponding to the threshold range;

the control unit 33 is further configured to generate a second instruction when the information processing unit 32 determines that the level parameter matches a second preset level parameter, and execute the second instruction to turn off the flashlight function.

In this embodiment, the mobile terminal is further provided with a second preset level parameter, and the second preset level parameter corresponds to a function of turning off the flashlight. Similarly to the first preset level parameter, the second preset level parameter is not limited to one level parameter, and may be at least two level parameters. Taking the level parameters as: for example, the second preset level parameter may be preset to be dark or very dark, and after the level parameter is determined to be matched with the dark or very dark, the level parameter is determined to be matched with the second preset level parameter.

When the level parameter matches the second preset level parameter (e.g., dark or extremely dark), the control unit 33 generates and executes a second instruction, and turns off the flashlight function based on the second instruction, that is, the flashlight function does not need to be turned off by manually triggering the flashlight application, and when the level parameter corresponding to the detected ambient light data reaches the second preset level parameter, the second instruction is automatically generated to turn off the flashlight function.

By adopting the technical scheme of the embodiment of the invention, through detecting the external environment light data, whether the external environment is in a dark environment or not is judged based on the environment light data, and then the flashlight tool is automatically turned on. In addition, whether the external environment is in a bright environment or not is judged through detection of external environment light data, and then the flashlight tool is turned off. Therefore, the operation steps of the user are greatly simplified, and the operation experience of the user is improved.
