Detailed Description

In the related art, along with the development of mobile communication technology, communication technology enters the era of interconnection of everything, and the application fields of intelligent communication terminals, intelligent homes, intelligent wearing, intelligent automobiles and the like are promoted to be developed vigorously, especially wireless communication technologies, such as WiFi technology, ZigBee and bluetooth technology, have the characteristics of large communication coverage, almost no limitation of geographic environment and convenient installation and expansion, so that wireless communication sending/receiving module units integrated with corresponding functions are widely applied in the fields of intelligent communication terminals, intelligent homes, intelligent wearing, intelligent automobiles and the like, and at present, the wireless communication technology modules have the problems of single working mode and high power consumption.

Taking the WiFi communication module as an example, the working mode of the WiFi communication module is determined by the preset parameters stored in the configuration file, once the preset parameter values stored in the configuration file are determined in the initialization process, the working mode of the WiFi communication module is also determined, and adjustment and optimization cannot be made according to the change of the application scenario of the communication terminal. For example, the WiFi communication module may support 6 working modes, the power consumption of different working modes is different, the working mode of the WiFi communication module is determined by the preset parameter stored in the configuration file, and the 6 working modes specifically include: a complete non-power-saving mode, a low-power-consumption on and deep-sleep off mode, a deep-low-power-consumption on and deep-sleep off mode, a low-power-consumption on and deep-sleep on mode; deep power down on and deep sleep on modes and full power down modes. In the standby process of the communication terminal, once the preset parameter value is determined in the initialization process, the working mode of the WiFi communication module is also uniquely determined (for example, a completely non-power-saving mode), and subsequently, the working mode cannot be adjusted and optimized according to the change of the application scenario of the communication terminal. Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of an implementation process of configuring a working mode of a WiFi communication module in the related art, as shown in fig. 1, after a communication terminal executes a power-on command, the working mode of the WiFi communication module is determined according to preset parameters configured in a configuration file, so that the WiFi communication module is always in the working mode no matter the communication terminal is on or off. If the working mode of the WiFi communication module is initialized to be set to be a completely non-power-saving mode, the standby power consumption of the WiFi module is high when a user does not use the communication terminal, such as in the morning; if the initial working mode of the WiFi module is set to the full power saving mode, the user experience may be affected in the process that the user normally uses the communication terminal, such as slow download or game playing; if the initial working mode of the communication WiFi module is set to the low power consumption on and deep sleep off modes, it is not beneficial to detect the standby power consumption of the communication terminal, and meanwhile, the standby power consumption is higher in the process that the user does not use the communication terminal. Here, if the operation mode of the WiFi communication module needs to be changed, the operation mode needs to be changed by recompiling the version modification code. In the above manner, the wireless communication module can only work in a fixed working mode, and the working mode is single, so that a better power saving effect cannot be obtained.

Based on this, in the embodiment of the present invention, a screen state of a communication terminal and an attribute of a background application associated with a wireless communication module of the communication terminal are obtained, where a working mode of the wireless communication module of the communication terminal at least includes a first mode and a second mode; the attributes include: quantity, program level, data transmission rate; when at least one of the screen state of the communication terminal and the attribute of a background application program associated with a wireless communication module of the communication terminal meets a preset condition, controlling the working mode of the wireless communication module to be switched from a first mode to a second mode; wherein the power consumption of the wireless communication module operating in the second mode is less than the power consumption of the wireless communication module operating in the first mode.

The invention is described in further detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments.

An embodiment of the present invention provides a power consumption control method for a communication terminal, which is applied to the communication terminal, and fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of an implementation flow of the power consumption control method for the communication terminal according to the embodiment of the present invention; as shown in fig. 2, the method includes:

step 201: acquiring a screen state of a communication terminal and attributes of a background application program associated with a wireless communication module of the communication terminal; the attributes include: number, program level, data transfer rate.

Here, the screen state of the communication terminal may include a bright screen state and a dead screen state.

Here, the background application associated with the wireless communication module of the communication terminal may refer to a background application using the wireless communication module, such as a wechat program and the like. The wireless communication module may include: a WiFi communication module, a ZigBee communication module, a Bluetooth communication module and the like.

And in actual application, the screen state and the attributes of the background application program can be obtained through the processor of the communication terminal.

For example, the processor of the communication terminal may obtain the screen state of the communication terminal, the number of background applications associated with the wireless communication module, and the data transmission rate according to an interface function. The processor of the communication terminal may determine the program level of the background application associated with the wireless communication module according to the name of the data packet of the background application associated with the wireless communication module.

Step 202: and when at least one of the screen state of the communication terminal and the attribute of the background application program associated with the wireless communication module meets a preset condition, controlling the working mode of the wireless communication module to be switched from a first mode to a second mode.

Here, controlling the working mode of the wireless communication module to switch from the first mode to the second mode may specifically include the following several cases:

in the first case, when the screen state of the communication terminal meets a preset condition, the working mode of the wireless communication module can be controlled to be switched from the first mode to the second mode.

For example, after it is determined that the screen state of the terminal is the screen off state and the screen off state lasts for a preset time, the operating mode of the wireless communication module is controlled to be switched from the first mode to the second mode.

In the second case, when the screen state of the communication terminal and the number of background applications associated with the wireless communication module satisfy a preset condition, the operating mode of the wireless communication module may be controlled to be switched from the first mode to the second mode.

For example, after it is determined that the screen state of the terminal is the screen off state and the screen off state lasts for a preset duration, if the number of background applications associated with the wireless communication module is greater than a preset threshold, the operating mode of the wireless communication module is controlled to be switched from the first mode to the second mode.

In a third case, when the screen state of the communication terminal, the number of background applications associated with the wireless communication module, and the data transmission rate satisfy preset conditions, the operating mode of the wireless communication module may be controlled to be switched from the first mode to the second mode.

For example, after it is determined that the screen state of the terminal is the screen off state and the screen off state lasts for a preset duration, if the number of background applications associated with the wireless communication module is greater than a preset threshold and the transmission rate is less than a first preset rate, the operating mode of the wireless communication module is controlled to be switched from the first mode to the second mode.

In a fourth situation, when the screen state of the communication terminal, the number of background applications and the program level associated with the wireless communication module satisfy preset conditions, the working mode of the wireless communication module can be controlled to be switched from the first mode to the second mode.

For example, after it is determined that the screen state of the terminal is the screen off state and the screen off state lasts for a preset duration, if the number of background applications associated with the wireless communication module is smaller than a preset threshold and the program level of the background applications associated with the wireless communication module meets a preset condition, the operating mode of the wireless communication module is controlled to be switched from the first mode to the second mode.

Here, after controlling the operation mode of the wireless communication module to be switched from the first mode to the second mode, the operation mode of the wireless communication module may be further controlled to be switched from the second mode to the third mode.

Wherein the first mode, the second mode and the third mode are different in that: the power consumption of the wireless communication module working in the third mode is less than that of the wireless communication module working in the second mode, and the power consumption of the wireless communication module working in the second mode is less than that of the wireless communication module working in the first mode.

In view of the first situation, in practical application, in order to improve the power saving performance of the wireless communication module and obtain a better power saving effect during the standby process of the terminal, the operating mode of the wireless communication module may be controlled to be switched after the terminal is turned off for a period of time.

Based on this, in an embodiment, the controlling the operating mode of the wireless communication module to switch from the first mode to the second mode when at least one of the screen state of the communication terminal and the attribute of the background application associated with the wireless communication module of the communication terminal satisfies a preset condition includes: and when the screen state of the communication terminal is determined to be the screen extinguishing state and the screen extinguishing state lasts for a preset time, controlling the working mode of the wireless communication module to be switched from the first mode to the second mode.

Here, the first preset time period and the second preset time period may be set here.

Specifically, after the screen state of the communication terminal is determined to be the screen off state and the screen off state lasts for a first preset time, the working mode of the wireless communication module is controlled to be switched from a first mode to a second mode; when the screen state of the terminal is determined to be the screen off state and the screen off state lasts for a second preset time, controlling the working mode of the wireless communication module to be switched from the second mode to a third mode; and the second preset time length is greater than the first preset time length.

For example, when a user does not use the communication terminal, when the screen-off duration of the communication terminal is determined to be greater than 1 minute, the working mode of the wireless communication module is controlled to be switched from the non-sleep mode to the moderate sleep mode; and when the screen-off duration of the communication terminal is determined to be greater than 2 minutes, controlling the working mode of the wireless communication module to be switched from the medium sleep mode to the deep sleep mode.

Here, the power consumption of the communication terminal operating in the deep sleep mode is less than the power consumption of the communication terminal operating in the middle sleep mode; the power consumption of the communication terminal operating in the moderate sleep mode is less than the power consumption of the communication terminal operating in the non-sleep mode.

For the second situation, in practical application, after the communication terminal is turned off for a period of time, if the application running in the background of the terminal includes the background application using the wireless communication module, the working mode of the wireless communication module may be controlled to be switched from the first mode to the second mode based on the number of the background applications using the wireless communication module.

Based on this, in an embodiment, after determining that the screen state of the terminal is the screen off state and the screen off state lasts for the preset time period, before controlling the operating mode of the wireless communication module to switch from the first mode to the second mode, the method further includes: judging whether the number of background application programs associated with the wireless communication module is greater than a preset threshold value or not; and when the number of the background application programs associated with the wireless communication module is determined to be larger than a preset threshold value, controlling the working mode of the wireless communication module to be switched from a first mode to a second mode.

Here, after controlling the operating mode of the wireless communication module to switch from the first mode to the second mode, the method may further include: judging whether the background application program associated with the wireless communication module is executed; when the background application program associated with the wireless communication module is determined to be executed completely, controlling the working mode of the wireless communication module to be switched from the second mode to a third mode; the working modes of the wireless communication module of the communication terminal further comprise a third mode, and the power consumption of the wireless communication module in the third mode is smaller than that in the second mode.

For example, when a user does not use the communication terminal, when it is determined that the screen-off duration of the communication terminal is greater than 1 minute and the number of background applications associated with the wireless communication module is greater than 3, controlling the operating mode of the wireless communication module to be switched from the non-sleep mode to the moderate sleep mode; and when the 3 background applications are determined to be executed completely, controlling the working mode of the wireless communication module to be switched from the moderate sleep mode to the deep sleep mode.

For the third situation, in practical application, after the communication terminal is turned off for a period of time, if the application running in the background of the terminal includes the background application using the wireless communication module, the operating mode of the wireless communication module may be controlled to be switched from the first mode to the second mode based on the number of the background applications using the wireless communication module and the data transmission rate.

Based on this, in an embodiment, after determining that the number of background applications associated with the wireless communication module is greater than the preset threshold, before controlling the operating mode of the wireless communication module to switch from the first mode to the second mode, the method further includes: judging whether the data transmission rate of a background application program associated with the wireless communication module is less than a preset rate or not; and when the data transmission rate of the background application program associated with the wireless communication module is determined to be less than the preset rate, controlling the working mode of the wireless communication module to be switched from a first mode to a second mode.

Here, a first preset rate and a second preset rate may be set.

Specifically, when the data transmission rate of a background application program associated with the wireless communication module is determined to be less than a first preset rate, controlling the working mode of the wireless communication module to be switched from a first mode to a second mode; when the data transmission rate of a background application program associated with the wireless communication module is determined to be smaller than a second preset rate, controlling the working mode of the wireless communication module to be switched from the second mode to a third mode; wherein the second preset rate is smaller than the first preset rate.

For example, when a user does not use the communication terminal, when it is determined that the screen-off duration of the communication terminal is greater than 1 minute and the number of background applications associated with the wireless communication module is greater than 3, if it is determined that the data transmission rates of the background applications associated with the wireless communication module, such as WeChat, QQ, Taobao, microblog and the like, are all less than 20Kbps, the operating mode of the wireless communication module is controlled to be switched from the non-sleep mode to the moderate sleep mode; and if the data transmission rates of the background applications such as WeChat, QQ, Taobao and the like associated with the wireless communication module are determined to be less than 10Kbps, controlling the working mode of the wireless communication module to be switched from the moderate sleep mode to the deep sleep mode.

For the fourth situation, in practical application, after the communication terminal is turned off for a period of time, if the application running in the background of the terminal includes the background application using the wireless communication module, the operating mode of the wireless communication module may be controlled to be switched from the first mode to the second mode based on the number and the program level of the background application using the wireless communication module.

Based on this, in an embodiment, the method further comprises: when it is determined that the number is less than or equal to the preset threshold, determining, for each of background applications associated with the wireless communication module, a program level corresponding to each of the background applications; and when the program grade meets a preset grade condition, controlling the working mode of the wireless communication module to be switched from a first mode to a second mode.

Here, that the program level meets the preset level condition may mean that the program level corresponding to each background application is greater than or equal to the preset level.

Specifically, when the program level meets a preset level condition, the working mode of the wireless communication module is controlled to be switched from a first mode to a second mode; and when the program level does not meet the preset level condition, closing a background application program associated with the wireless communication module, and controlling the working mode of the wireless communication module to be switched from the second mode to a third mode.

For example, when a user does not use the communication terminal, when it is determined that the screen-off duration of the communication terminal is greater than 1 minute and the number of background applications associated with the wireless communication module is less than 3, if it is determined that the program levels of the two background applications, namely three kingdoms and WeChat, associated with the wireless communication module are both greater than or equal to a preset level, controlling the operating mode of the wireless communication module to be switched from the non-sleep mode to the moderate sleep mode; and if the program grades of the two background application programs of the three kingdoms killer and the WeChat which are associated with the wireless communication module are determined to be less than the preset grade, directly closing the two background application programs of the three kingdoms killer and the WeChat, and controlling the working mode of the wireless communication module to be switched from the moderate sleep mode to the deep sleep mode.

In actual application, the program level of the corresponding background application program can be determined based on the name of the data packet to which the background application program associated with the wireless communication module belongs.

For example, for the background application A, B, C associated with the wireless communication module, it is assumed that the name of the packet to which the background application a belongs is import _ data1, and the names of the packets to which the background applications B and C belong are data2, where the packet import _ data1 is used to store background applications with a program level above level 3, such as the background application with the download amount ranked 20, and the data2 is used to store background applications with a program level below level 3, it can be determined that the background application a is the background application with a program level above level 3, and the background application B, C is the background application with a program level below level 3 by reading the name of the packet. Assuming that the preset level is level 3, it may be determined that the program level of the background application a is the same as the preset level, so that the operating mode of the wireless communication module may be controlled to be switched from the first mode to the second mode.

In actual application, the program grade of the corresponding background application program can be determined according to the use duration of the background application program in a preset time period.

For example, for the background application A, B, C associated with the wireless communication module, assuming that the usage duration of the background application a is 4 hours, the usage duration of the background application B is 6 hours, and the usage duration of the background application B is 2 hours in one day, it may be determined that the program level of the background application B is level 3, the program level of the background application a is level 2, and the program level of the background application a is level 1. Wherein, the grade 3 characterization has the highest grade, and the grade 1 characterization has the lowest grade. Assuming that the preset level is level 3, it may be determined that the level of the background application B is the same as the preset level, so that the operating mode of the wireless communication module may be controlled to be switched from the first mode to the second mode.

By adopting the technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the invention, when at least one of the screen state of the communication terminal and the attribute of the background application program associated with the wireless communication module of the communication terminal meets the preset condition, the wireless communication module can be controlled to be switched to the second mode with lower power consumption, so that the power saving performance of the wireless communication module can be improved, and a better power saving effect can be obtained.

Fig. 7 is a schematic flowchart illustrating a method for controlling power consumption of the communication terminal implemented by a software program according to an embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 7, communication between an application layer of the wireless communication module and the kernel may be implemented by a netlink and a read/write device node, so as to control the wireless communication module to switch a working mode. Taking the example of controlling the wireless communication module to switch the working mode based on the screen state of the communication terminal, the number of background application programs associated with the wireless communication module, and the program level, the specific implementation process may include: firstly, an application layer of the communication terminal reads the screen-off duration of the communication terminal and the number of background application programs associated with the wireless communication module through a system interface function. After the screen is turned off for a period of time, the application layer of the communication terminal determines the to-be-switched working mode of the wireless communication module based on the number of background application programs associated with the wireless communication module. Specifically, if the number of background applications associated with the wireless communication module is greater than 3, it is determined that the wireless communication module needs to be controlled to enter the intermediate sleep mode, which may be represented by a value 0, and by commanding: if Echo1 is greater than DPS, writing the numerical value corresponding to the working mode to be switched of the wireless communication module, namely 0, into the created reading and writing equipment node DPS; when the number of background applications associated with the wireless communication module is less than or equal to 3, if the program levels of the background applications associated with the wireless communication module are all greater than or equal to a preset level, it is determined that the wireless communication module needs to be controlled to enter a moderate sleep mode, which may be represented by a value 0, and by a command: and if Echo2 is greater than DPS, writing the numerical value corresponding to the determined working mode to be switched of the wireless communication module, namely 0, into the created reading and writing equipment node DPS. In this way, the kernel of the wireless communication module monitors the DPS, obtains the value corresponding to the working mode to be switched of the wireless communication module through the interface function in the kernel driving chip, and sets the current working mode of the wireless communication module to be the moderate dormancy mode according to the read value.
