Based on the hardware structure of the mobile terminal, the invention provides various embodiments of the method.

First embodiment

Based on the excellent bendability and flexibility of the flexible display screen, a new man-machine interaction mode is provided for triggering the flexible screen terminal to correspondingly control the power consumption of the terminal, so that the cruising ability of the flexible screen terminal is optimized, and the operation experience of a user is improved. For better and clearly explaining the scheme of the present embodiment, please refer to fig. 2, where fig. 2 is a basic flowchart of a terminal power consumption control method provided in the present embodiment, and the method includes the following steps:

s201, when the bending of the flexible display screen of the terminal is monitored, the bending degree of the flexible display screen of the terminal is detected.

The terminal in this embodiment includes at least one flexible display screen, and the flexible display screen may be configured to receive a corresponding display instruction issued when a related hardware (e.g., a core processor CPU, a graphics processing unit GPU, and the like) of the terminal executes a related program, and display and process a corresponding image content according to the display instruction, so as to be viewed by a user, that is, the terminal is a flexible screen terminal. Certainly, the flexible screen terminal is not limited to include a flexible display screen, and may further include other hardware devices in order to implement corresponding functions, which please refer to the description of the hardware structure of the terminal in fig. 1, and details are not described herein again.

It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the flexible screen terminal may be provided with only one flexible display screen, or two or more flexible display screens at the same time, and since the flexible display screen has good flexibility, the flexible screen terminal may present various bent shapes according to the actual needs of the user, for example, the bent state of the flexible screen terminal shown in fig. 3 after being bent.

The scheme is that the flexible display screen terminal is triggered to automatically execute a corresponding strategy for controlling the power consumption of the terminal according to the bending degree of the flexible display screen, so that the cruising ability of the terminal is optimized, and meanwhile, a user can be helped to quickly realize a corresponding power consumption control instruction in a new man-machine interaction mode of bending the flexible display screen. Specifically, before the flexible screen terminal monitors the bending state of the flexible display screen and implements power consumption control, the terminal may also need to receive an instruction "automatic power consumption control" 41 issued by a user and allowing the terminal to automatically monitor the degree of bending of the flexible display screen to implement a power consumption control function, please refer to a setting interface schematic diagram of the flexible screen terminal in fig. 4, when the user determines that the function needs to be started (power consumption control is performed according to the degree of bending of the flexible display screen), the user clicks to start the "automatic power consumption control" 41 function through the setting interface, and after the flexible screen terminal starts the function, the bending state of the flexible display screen starts to be monitored in real time.

The degree of bending of the flexible display screen may be represented by the angle of bending, or by the curvature of bending, or other parameters that may be used to indicate the degree of bending. The bending angle range may be (-180 ° - +180 °), please refer to fig. 5a, it should be noted that fig. 5a is a schematic structural diagram of the cross-sectional direction when the flexible display screen is bent, wherein-180 ° may represent the angle value when one portion 52 of the flexible display screen is bent clockwise to be horizontal to the other portion 51. Correspondingly, referring to fig. 5b, the bending angle of +180 ° may represent the value of the angle when one portion 52 of the flexible display screen is bent counterclockwise to be horizontal to the other portion 51. It should be understood that the bent portion 52 is not limited to the portions shown in fig. 5a and 5b, and any portion of the flexible display screen may be specifically selected, for example, the portions corresponding to four corners of the flexible display screen, please refer to fig. 6, in the using process, a user bends a certain corner of the flexible display screen, so as to trigger the terminal to automatically implement control over power consumption, and improve cruising ability. It should be understood that when the bending angle is 0 °, i.e. when the flexible display is not bent, the flexible display is in a flat state.

For the detection process of the bent angle, for the convenience of understanding, the following description is made with reference to fig. 7:

a tangent 72 of a bent portion at a detection point 71 is detected on a bending curve, and an included angle formed by the tangent 72 and an unbent portion 73 is detected to obtain a bent angle alpha. Specifically, a gravity sensor or an orientation sensor may be disposed on a partial area or a whole area of the flexible display screen to detect a bending condition or a bending path of a relevant area of the flexible display screen, so as to obtain a bending included angle formed between the detection point 71 and the unbent portion 73.

It should be understood that the above-mentioned manner for detecting the bent angle of the flexible display screen is only an example, and any conventional manner may be adopted, which is not described herein again.

The embodiment also provides a mode for reflecting the bending degree of the flexible display screen through the bending curvature, and the power consumption of the terminal can be controlled by detecting the curvature of the bent part of the flexible display screen through the flexible screen terminal. It should be understood that curvature refers to the rotation rate of the tangential angle to the arc length at a certain point on the curve, and when the arc length is constant, the larger the tangential angle of rotation, the larger the curvature, indicating a larger degree of curvature, and the smaller the tangential angle of rotation, the smaller the curvature, indicating a smaller degree of curvature.

Also, the flexible screen terminal can realize the calculation to the camber through detecting the arc length of buckling and turned angle, the flexible screen terminal also can calculate the camber through the pressure size of detecting the partial each point of buckling, the pressure that often bears is big more, the degree of buckling of this point is big more, then the camber is big more, through the corresponding relation of predetermined pressure and camber, obtain the camber of being buckled the part, thereby select corresponding power consumption control strategy according to the camber size, with the power consumption at reduction flexible screen terminal, promote terminal duration, promote user experience. The pressure value born by the bending position and the pressure exerted by the outside on the flexible display screen are different, the pressure born by the bending position is generated by the internal deformation of the flexible display screen, the pressure exerted by the outside is generated by the extrusion of a user finger or other objects, concretely, when the user finger extrudes the flexible display screen, the user generally needs to extrude the flexible display screen in the opposite directions of the two fingers to generate the pressure on the flexible display screen, the two pressures are different, the flexible screen terminal can identify the received pressure to judge whether the pressure is caused by the deformation after bending, the pressure not caused by the deformation after bending can be not processed, only the pressure caused by the deformation after bending is processed, and therefore the accuracy and the reliability of the operation are improved.

The relation between the preset pressure and the curvature can be obtained through experimental test results or simulation realized by technicians, the corresponding curvature value is calculated and obtained by detecting the pressure value of the bent part of the flexible screen terminal, and then the corresponding power consumption control strategy is selected to control the power consumption of the terminal according to the corresponding relation between the preset curvature value range and the power consumption control strategy, so that the cruising ability of the terminal is optimized. The correspondence table may be specifically referred to as the following table 1:

TABLE 1

Curvature	Power consumption control strategy
		1-100	A1
100-1000	A2
		＞1000	A3

S202, controlling the power consumption of the terminal according to the detected bending degree of the flexible display screen.

The embodiment provides several ways to control the power consumption of the terminal, including controlling the screen brightness of the terminal, the processing frequency of the CPU, and the running state of the application program.

Specifically, for controlling the screen brightness of the terminal, the corresponding screen display brightness level may be selected according to the detected degree of bending of the flexible display screen, so as to adjust the brightness of the current terminal screen, and optimize the terminal endurance.

For example, the flexible screen terminal presets the corresponding relationship between the degree of bending of the flexible display screen and the brightness level of the screen display, see the corresponding relationship table shown in table 2 below:

TABLE 2

Degree of being bent	Screen display brightness level
		Slight bending	High brightness level
Medium degree of flexion	Common grade
		Severe bending	Low light level

When the flexible screen terminal monitors that the flexible display screen is bent, the bending degree is detected, and if the bending degree is 'heavy bending', according to the bending degree, the corresponding screen display brightness grade is obtained from the preset corresponding relation between the bending degree and the screen display brightness grade, namely, the screen display brightness grade is found to be 'low brightness grade', so that the display brightness of the flexible display screen is controlled according to the relevant display parameters of the 'low brightness grade'.

In this example, in order to better meet the actual use requirements of the user, before the degree of bending of the flexible screen terminal is monitored, it may be determined whether the flexible display screen is in a bright screen state or not, if the flexible display screen is not in the bright screen state (i.e., in a screen resting state), the bending state of the flexible display screen does not need to be monitored, and only when the flexible screen terminal is in the bright screen state, the bending state of the flexible display screen is monitored in real time.

By controlling the screen display brightness of the flexible screen terminal, the power consumption of the flexible screen terminal is controlled equivalently, and the purpose of optimizing the cruising ability of the flexible screen terminal is achieved.

The method and the device can also adjust the CPU processing frequency of the flexible screen terminal, specifically, when the residual electric quantity of the current flexible screen terminal is low, in order to prolong the service life, a user can bend a specific area (certainly any area of the flexible display screen) of the flexible display screen of the flexible screen terminal to a corresponding degree, so that the flexible screen terminal is controlled to select the corresponding CPU processing frequency, and when the CPU processes corresponding tasks, the processing frequency is selected to process the tasks. It should be understood that the higher the CPU overclocking is, the higher the power consumption thereof is, on the contrary, if the processing frequency is lower, the power consumption will also be reduced, but the processing performance will be correspondingly reduced, and by adjusting the CPU frequency hopping frequency, the power consumption of the flexible screen terminal is controlled, and the purpose of optimizing the terminal endurance is achieved. The user can flexibly control and select the corresponding power consumption control strategy according to the current electric quantity condition of the actual terminal, so that the operation efficiency of the user is improved, and the use experience of the user is improved.

The embodiment also provides a specific way for controlling the power consumption of the terminal: and controlling the power consumption of the terminal by controlling the state of the target application program in the running state of the terminal. This is explained in detail below:

the target application programs comprise application programs which run in a foreground and application programs which run in a background; controlling the state of the target application includes ending the process of the application or continuing to run the application. By ending the process of the corresponding target application program, the power consumption of the terminal is controlled, and the cruising ability is optimized.

After the bending degree of the flexible display screen is detected, comparing the bending degree with each preset bending degree range, determining a target bending degree range corresponding to the bending degree, and selecting a target power consumption control strategy corresponding to the target bending degree range according to the corresponding relation between the target bending degree range and the power consumption control strategy so as to control the state of the target application program.

It should be noted that the power consumption control policy in this example includes a screen-on power consumption control policy and a screen-off power consumption control policy, where the screen-on power consumption control policy is adopted to control the target application program when the flexible display screen of the terminal is in the screen-on state, and the screen-off power consumption control policy is adopted to control the target application program when it is determined that the flexible display screen of the terminal is in the screen-off state.

The bright screen power consumption control strategy specifically comprises the following steps: acquiring a first running time length of the current continuous running of the target application program, or a first application type, a first application name or a first using frequency of the target application program; judging whether the target application program belongs to a first application to be closed or not according to the first running time length, the first application type, the first application name or the first using frequency; if yes, controlling to end the processing process of the target application program; if not, controlling to continue running the target application program.

Specifically, the step of judging whether the target application program belongs to the first application to be closed according to the first running time comprises the following steps: judging whether the first running time length reaches a first preset time length, if so, determining that the target application program belongs to the first application to be closed; if not, determining that the target application program does not belong to the first application to be closed.

For example, the first preset duration is set to 30 minutes, if the first running duration of the obtained target application program "this day top" continuously running in the background is 30 minutes, the first running duration of the target application program "this day top" reaches the first preset duration, the target application program "this day top" is determined to be the first application to be closed, in order to avoid that the application hangs up in the background of the terminal for a long time and has an adverse effect on the power consumption of the terminal, at this time, the terminal controls to end the processing process of the target application program "this day top", reduce the power consumption of the terminal, and optimize the endurance. It should be understood that if the first running duration of the terminal running continuously in the background does not reach 30 minutes, for example, 20 minutes, the terminal determines that the target application does not belong to the first application to be closed, and at this time, the control continues to run the target application in the background, or does not process the target application, and the original background running state is maintained.

Specifically, the step of judging whether the target application program belongs to a first application to be closed according to the first application type includes: matching the first application type with a first preset application type list, and determining that the target application program belongs to the first application to be closed when the first application type is judged to exist in the first preset application type list; otherwise, determining that the target application program does not belong to the first application to be closed.

For example, a first preset application type list may be seen in table 3 below:

TABLE 3

Serial number	Preset application type
		1	News class
2	Entertainment category
		3	Tools and the like

Assuming that the acquired target application includes "today's headline" and "WeChat", the application types to which the two target applications belong are acquired respectively (i.e., the first application type is acquired), which results in that the "today's headline" belongs to the "News class" application type, the WeChat belongs to the communication application type, the two application types are compared with a first preset application type list, whether the two application types exist in the preset application type list or not is judged, according to the preset application type list, the existence of the application type of 'news class' in the list can be judged, and there is no application type of "communication type", that is, it can be determined that "today's headline" belongs to the first application to be closed, and "WeChat" does not belong to the first application to be closed, therefore, the control ends the background processing process of the ' today ' top bar ' and continues to keep the background running state of the ' WeChat '. It should be noted that the first preset application type list may be flexibly set according to the actual use condition of the user, the application types that the user is interested in or does not want to close are protected, and other application types are added to the list, so that when the terminal performs the optimized continuous navigation, the background processing process of the application that the user is not interested in or wants to close is ended, and the power consumption is controlled.

Specifically, the step of judging whether the target application program belongs to a first application to be closed according to the first application name includes: matching the first application name with a first preset white list application list, and determining that the target application program belongs to the first application to be closed when the first application name does not exist in the first preset white list application list; otherwise, determining that the target application program does not belong to the first application to be closed.

For example, when it is determined that the terminal is currently in a bright screen state, all application programs currently in an operating state of the terminal, that is, a target application program, are obtained, assuming that the terminal includes a target application 1, a target application 2, and a target application 3, application names of the three target application programs are respectively obtained, then the application names of the three target application programs are compared with application names in a first preset white list application list, it is determined which of the three target application programs belong to a first application to be closed and which do not belong to the first application to be closed according to a comparison result, then a processing process of the target application program belonging to the first application to be closed is controlled to end, and the target application program not belonging to the first application to be closed is continuously kept running. Assuming that the target application 1 and the target application 2 exist in the first preset white list application list, but the target application 3 does not exist, that is, the target application 1 and the target application 2 do not belong to the first application to be closed, and the target application 3 belongs to the first application to be closed, thereby controlling to end the processing process of the target application 3 and continue to run the target application 1 and the target application 2. The state of the target application program of the terminal in the running state is controlled, and the endurance of the terminal is optimized according to the actual use condition of a user.

It should be understood that the first preset white list application list may be flexibly set according to user requirements, for example, a user may set a commonly used application of the user as a white list application, and when a terminal controls a state of a target application program, the white list application may be run, so as to avoid a problem that the user needs to restart the application because a processing process of the white list application is finished.

Specifically, the step of judging whether the target application program belongs to a first application to be closed according to the first use frequency includes: comparing the first use frequency with a first preset use frequency, and determining that the target application program belongs to the first application to be closed when the first use frequency is judged to be smaller than the first preset use frequency; otherwise, determining that the target application program does not belong to the first application to be closed.

For example, in this example, the first usage frequency of the target application may specifically be a total usage time or a number of usage times, generally, a higher usage frequency indicates that the target application is a more frequently-used application by the user, and relatively, if the usage frequency is lower, indicates that the target application is not a more frequently-used application by the user, or the target application is rarely used by the user. When the first use frequency of the target application program is detected to be lower than the first preset use frequency, the target application program is indicated to be not an application program frequently used by a user, so that the target application program can be determined to belong to the first application to be closed, and the terminal controls to end the background processing process of the target application program; correspondingly, when detecting that the first use frequency of the target application program is higher than the first preset use frequency, the terminal may not process the state of the target application program, and may continue to maintain the background running state thereof.

When it is determined that the terminal is currently in the screen saver state, performing power consumption control processing on a corresponding target application program by adopting the screen saver power consumption control strategy, specifically, the screen saver power consumption control strategy comprises the following steps: acquiring a second running time length, a second application type, a second application name or a second using frequency of the current continuous running of the target application program; judging whether the target application program belongs to a second application to be closed or not according to the second running time length, the second application type, the second application name or the second using frequency; if yes, controlling to end the processing process of the target application program; if not, controlling to continue running the target application program.

Specifically, the step of judging whether the target application program belongs to the second application to be closed according to the second running time comprises the following steps: judging whether the second running time length reaches a second preset time length, if so, determining that the target application program belongs to the second application to be closed; and if not, determining that the target application program does not belong to the second application to be closed.

Specifically, the step of judging whether the target application program belongs to a second application to be closed according to the second application type includes: matching the second application type with a second preset application type list, and determining that the target application program belongs to the second application to be closed when the second application type is judged to exist in the second preset application type list; otherwise, determining that the target application program does not belong to the second application to be closed.

Specifically, the step of judging whether the target application program belongs to a second application to be closed according to the second application name includes: matching the second application name with a second preset white list application list, and determining that the target application program belongs to the second application to be closed when the second application name does not exist in the second preset white list application list; otherwise, determining that the target application program does not belong to the second application to be closed.

Specifically, the step of judging whether the target application program belongs to a second application to be closed according to the second use frequency includes: comparing the second using frequency with a second preset using frequency, and determining that the target application program belongs to the second application to be closed when the second using frequency is judged to be smaller than the second preset using frequency; otherwise, determining that the target application program does not belong to the second application to be closed.

It should be noted that the screen-off power consumption control policy and the screen-on power consumption control policy may be set to be the same, or may be set to be different according to the actual use condition of the user, which is not limited herein, and the specific process may also participate in the specific description of the screen-on power consumption control policy, which is not described herein again.

In the example of controlling the power consumption of the terminal by controlling the target application program, before monitoring the bending state of the flexible display screen, whether the flexible display screen terminal is in the bright screen state or not can be judged, when the flexible display screen terminal is judged to be in the bright screen state, the bending state of the flexible display screen is monitored in real time, and when the flexible display screen terminal is judged not to be in the bright screen state, namely, in the screen-off state, the bent state of the flexible display screen does not need to be monitored in real time, so that the power consumption of the terminal is saved.

Second embodiment

This embodiment provides a method for controlling power consumption of a terminal based on a first embodiment, please refer to fig. 8, where fig. 8 is a detailed flowchart of the method for controlling power consumption of a terminal according to a second embodiment of the present invention, and the method includes:

s801, after receiving an instruction of starting a power consumption control function, monitoring the bending state of the flexible display screen in real time.

The power consumption control function of the flexible screen terminal can be selected to be started or closed according to the actual use condition of a user, the flexible screen terminal cannot respond to monitoring and follow-up power consumption control of the flexible display screen in the closed state, and only after the power consumption control function is started, the flexible screen terminal can monitor the bending state of the flexible display screen. Furthermore, the flexible screen terminal can monitor the bending state of the flexible display screen only in the screen-on state, and the bending state of the flexible display screen can not be monitored in the screen-off state. For example, when a user puts a flexible screen terminal into a pocket, the body may squeeze the flexible screen terminal to cause bending deformation of the flexible display screen, and at this time, the user does not want to perform the operation, which is a misoperation.

S802, detecting the bending degree when the flexible display screen is monitored to be bent.

For a specific process of detecting the degree of bending of the flexible display screen, reference may be made to the description of the first embodiment, and details are not described herein again.

And S803, acquiring the application program of the flexible screen terminal in the background running state currently according to the bending degree, and judging whether the application program meets the closing condition, if so, turning to the step S804, otherwise, turning to the step S805.

The closing condition includes the following conditions, and the terminal may specifically select one of the conditions to execute:

the first closing condition is as follows: and the continuous operation time of the background reaches a preset time threshold.

For example, the preset time threshold is 20 minutes, and if the continuous background running time of acquiring a certain application program in the background running state is 25 minutes, it is determined that the application program meets the closing condition.

And a second closing condition: not preset white list applications.

The preset white list application is also the application which the user wants to protect, and the user can select the application which does not want to be finished at any time to be set as the white list application. And if the certain application program in the background running state is acquired in the preset white list, determining that the application program does not meet the closing condition, namely needs to continue running.

And (3) a closing condition is three: not a preset application type.

The preset application type is the application type which the user wants to protect, and the user wants to protect all application programs in the application type, so that the situation that the processing process is directly ended due to control of power consumption is avoided. The preset application types include, but are not limited to, a game type, an audio-visual type, a communication type, a tool type, a social type, a news type, a navigation type, and the like, and the application type to which a certain application program belongs may be detected in any existing manner, for example, "royal glory" belongs to a "game type" application, "youku" belongs to a "audio-visual type" application, "short message" belongs to a "communication type" application, and the like, and thus details thereof are not repeated.

And a fourth closing condition: the use frequency is lower than the preset use frequency.

The use frequency can indicate the use frequency of each application program by a user, so that the application with low use frequency and in a background running state is closed, and the purpose of reducing the power consumption of the terminal can be achieved under the condition that the normal use of the user is not influenced.

And S804, finishing the application program which meets the closing condition and is in the background running state.

And for the application program which meets the closing condition and is in the background running state, directly controlling to finish the processing process, reducing the processing load of the terminal, reducing the power consumption of the terminal and optimizing the endurance of the terminal.

And S805, controlling an application interface or an application icon of the target application program to be displayed on the terminal flexible display screen.

For background applications which do not meet the closing condition, the call is an application which a user wants to protect or frequently uses, and at the moment, the terminal can control an application interface or an application icon of the target application to be displayed on the flexible display screen of the terminal.

Specifically, the terminal can control the application icons of the target application program which does not meet the closing condition to be displayed on the flexible display screen of the terminal, the application icons of other applications (including background applications which meet the closing condition and non-running applications) can not be displayed temporarily, a user can quickly acquire related applications which run in the background, and the user can conveniently and quickly check and select one of the applications to perform foreground display.

If an application program in foreground display already exists, the application icon of the application program can be displayed at the same time.

Specifically, the terminal may also control a display interface of the target application program that does not satisfy the closing condition to be displayed on the flexible display screen of the terminal. Specifically, when at least two target applications exist, the display interfaces of the at least two target applications can be displayed on the flexible display screen of the terminal in a split screen manner. When the display interfaces of two target application programs need to be displayed, the two display interfaces can be displayed on the upper and lower parts of the flexible display screen or the left and right split screens respectively. Similarly, when there are a plurality of flexible display screens, the flexible display screen may be divided into a plurality of sub-screens to display each display interface.

In some examples, when there are two or more display interfaces of the target application program to be displayed on the flexible display screen, the terminal may select the display interfaces of the two target application programs to be displayed on the upper and lower split screens or the left and right split screens, respectively, and may not display the display interfaces of the other target application programs, or may display only the application icons thereof.

As shown in fig. 9, there are four target application programs that need to be displayed, and at this time, the display interface of application 1 may be displayed on the upper split screen 91 of the flexible display screen, and the display interface of application 2 may be displayed on the lower split screen 92 of the flexible display screen, and for applications 3 and 4, only their corresponding application icons, 93 and 94, respectively, may be displayed.
