In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the non-low power consumption state refers to a state in which both a WiFi function and a radio frequency function in the mobile broadband device are turned on; that is, when the mobile broadband device is in the operating mode in the non-low power consumption state, the WiFi function in the mobile broadband device is turned on, and the WiFi module in the mobile broadband device is normally powered; and the radio frequency function of the mobile broadband device is also started, and the radio frequency module in the mobile broadband device is also normally powered.
In the specific embodiment of the present invention, when the mobile broadband device is in the operating mode of the non-low power consumption state, it may be determined whether the key operation is performed within the preset time period, and when the key operation is not performed within the preset time period, step 102 may be continuously performed; when the key operation is performed within the preset time period, step 104 is performed.
In addition, in the specific embodiment of the present invention, the preset time period may be set according to system requirements. For example, the preset time period may be: for 600 seconds.

Wherein, the preset mode comprises: connecting a PC through a USB; alternatively, at least one mobile terminal is connected through WiFi. When the data traffic is not generated in the preset manner within the preset time period, the step 103 may be continuously performed; when the data traffic is generated in a predetermined manner within a predetermined time period, step 104 is executed.
And 103, switching the mobile broadband device from the working mode in the non-low-power-consumption state to the working mode in the low-power-consumption state, and ending the processing flow.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the low power consumption state refers to a state in which both the WiFi function and the radio frequency function in the mobile broadband device are turned off. That is, when the mobile broadband device is in the operating mode of the low power consumption state, the WiFi function in the mobile broadband device is turned off, and the WiFi module in the mobile broadband device is powered off; and the radio frequency function of the mobile broadband device is also closed, and the radio frequency module in the mobile broadband device is also powered off.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the operation modes of the low power consumption state include: a first standby mode and a second standby mode.
Wherein, the first standby mode is as follows: the mobile broadband device has no working mode of connecting a PC or an adapter through a USB. That is, when the mobile broadband device is in the first standby mode, the mobile broadband device is not connected to the PC or the adapter through the USB.
The second standby mode is that: the mobile broadband device is connected to the PC or the working mode of the adapter through the USB. That is, when the mobile broadband device is in the second standby mode, the mobile broadband device is connected to the PC or adapter via USB.
In a specific embodiment of the present invention, when data traffic is not generated in a preset manner within a preset time period, the mobile broadband device switches from the operating mode in the non-low power consumption state to the operating mode in the low power consumption state, and ends the processing procedure. Specifically, the mobile broadband device may be switched from an operating mode in a non-low power consumption state to a first standby mode in a low power consumption state; alternatively, the mobile broadband device may also switch from an operating mode in a non-low power consumption state to a second standby mode in a low power consumption state.
That is, in the specific embodiment of the present invention, it can be determined whether the mobile broadband device can be switched from the operation mode in the non-low power consumption state to the operation mode in the low power consumption state from the following three aspects: 1) whether the mobile broadband equipment is subjected to key operation within a preset time period or not; 2) whether the mobile broadband device is connected with a PC or an adapter through a USB; 3) whether the mobile broadband device is connected with at least one mobile terminal through WiFi. In the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present invention, on the premise that the mobile broadband device is not operated by a key within a preset time period, even if the PC or the adapter is connected through the USB, or even if at least one mobile terminal is connected through the WiFi, as long as data traffic is not generated in the preset manner within the preset time period, the mobile broadband device switches from the operating mode in the non-low power consumption state to the operating mode in the low power consumption state.
Fig. 2 is a schematic flow chart of implementation of switching of the operating mode in the embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 2, a method for switching a mobile broadband device from an operating mode in a non-low power consumption state to an operating mode in a low power consumption state includes the following steps:
step 201, judging whether a PC or an adapter is connected through a USB; if the PC or the adapter is not connected through the USB, executing step 202; if a PC or adapter is connected via USB, step 203 is performed.
In the specific embodiment of the present invention, when data traffic is not generated in a preset manner within a preset time period, before the mobile broadband device switches from the operating mode in the non-low power consumption state to the operating mode in the low power consumption state, it may also be determined whether to connect the PC or the adapter through the USB, and when the PC or the adapter is not connected through the USB, step 202 is executed; when a PC or an adapter is connected through USB, step 203 is performed.
Step 202, the mobile broadband device switches from the working mode in the non-low power consumption state to the first standby mode, and ends the processing flow.
In the specific embodiment of the present invention, when the PC or the adapter is not connected through the USB, the mobile broadband device may switch from the operating mode in the non-low power consumption state to the first standby mode, and end the processing procedure this time. Specifically, when the PC or the adapter is not connected through the USB, the WiFi function of the mobile broadband device may be turned off first, and then the radio frequency function of the mobile broadband device may be turned off.
Step 203, the mobile broadband device switches from the operating mode in the non-low power consumption state to the second standby mode.
In a specific embodiment of the invention, the mobile broadband device may switch from an operating mode that is not a low power consumption state to a second standby mode when a PC or adapter is connected via USB. Specifically, when the PC or the adapter is connected through the USB, the WiFi function of the mobile broadband device may be turned off first, and then the radio frequency function of the mobile broadband device may be turned off.
According to the above description, through the steps 201 to 203, the mobile broadband device may switch from the operation mode in the non-low power consumption state to the first standby mode in the low power consumption state, or the mobile broadband device may switch from the operation mode in the non-low power consumption state to the second standby mode in the low power consumption state.
Fig. 3 is a schematic structural diagram of switching operation modes in an embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 3, when the mobile broadband device is in an operation mode in a non-low power consumption state, and when no key operation is performed within a preset time period and no data traffic is generated in a preset manner within the preset time period, the mobile broadband device may switch from the operation mode in the non-low power consumption state to a first standby mode in a low power consumption state, or may switch from the operation mode in the non-low power consumption state to a second standby mode in the low power consumption state. Further, when the mobile broadband device is in the first standby mode, if the PC or the adapter is connected via the USB, the mobile broadband device may also be switched from the first standby mode to an operating mode that is not a low power consumption state. Further, when the mobile broadband device is in the second standby mode, if the USB in the mobile broadband device is unplugged, the mobile broadband device may switch from the second standby mode to the first standby mode. When the mobile broadband device is in the first standby mode or the second standby mode, if the key operation is performed, the mobile broadband device may be switched from the first standby mode or the second standby mode to an operating mode that is not a low power consumption state.
And step 104, ending the power saving process of the mobile broadband device.
In an embodiment of the present invention, when a key operation is performed within a preset time period, or data traffic is generated in a preset manner within the preset time period, the power saving process of the mobile broadband device may be ended.
According to the power saving method provided by the embodiment of the invention, on the premise that the mobile broadband device is not subjected to key operation within the preset time period, even if the mobile broadband device is connected with a PC or an adapter through a USB (universal serial bus) or is connected with at least one mobile terminal through WiFi (wireless fidelity), as long as the data traffic is not generated in the preset time period in a preset mode, the mobile broadband device can be switched from the working mode in the non-low-power-consumption state to the working mode in the low-power-consumption state. Instead of the prior art, as long as the PC or the adapter is connected through the USB or at least one mobile terminal is connected through the WiFi, the mobile broadband device does not enter the operating mode in the low power consumption state regardless of whether data traffic is generated within a preset time period. Therefore, compared with the prior art, the mobile broadband device and the power saving method thereof provided by the embodiment of the invention can greatly reduce the consumption of the electric energy of the mobile broadband device, thereby prolonging the service life of the battery in the mobile broadband device; moreover, the method is simple and convenient to realize, convenient to popularize and wide in application range.
