In particular, the user input unit 107 may include a touch panel 1071 and other input devices 1072. The touch panel 1071, also referred to as a touch screen, may collect touch operations thereon or thereabout by a user (e.g., operations of the user on the touch panel 1071 or thereabout by using any suitable object or accessory such as a finger, a stylus, etc.) and drive the corresponding connection device according to a predetermined program.

In order to facilitate understanding of the embodiments of the present invention, a communication network system on which the mobile terminal of the present invention is based will be described below.

Although the LTE system is described above as an example, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to LTE systems, but may be applied to other wireless communication systems, such as GSM, CDMA2000, WCDMA, TD-SCDMA, and future new network systems.

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

Example 1

As shown in fig. 3, a first embodiment of the present invention proposes a screen-extinguishing control method applied to the mobile terminal, the method comprising the steps of:

s300, setting a cache space of the sensor resource.

Specifically, a global buffer space (bakup sensor) for sensor (sensor) resources with automatic screen-extinguishing function is set in an underlying sensor service (sensor) for temporarily storing the actively released sensor resources.

In addition, a releasing interface and a buffer interface are also needed to be added in the sensor device, and the releasing interface is used for releasing the sensor resources occupied by the auto-screen-extinguishing function in the network communication process. The buffer interface is used for operating the global buffer space and writing sensor resource information occupied by an automatic screen-off function in the network call process (namely, writing the sensor resource information released by the release interface into the buffer space).

S302, detecting whether the mobile terminal is in network communication.

Specifically, by the process or thread names of various network calls, it is possible to determine in the framework whether or not a network call is currently in progress and what kind of network call (voice or video) is in progress, based on the names.

Typically, a user may actively close the screen during a voice call, but may not actively close the screen during a video call. Therefore, in other embodiments, it may further detect what network call is being performed by the mobile terminal (i.e. determine the call type), if the mobile terminal is a voice call, the subsequent steps are performed, otherwise (if the mobile terminal is a video call), the subsequent steps do not need to be performed, and the process ends.

In addition, in other embodiments, it is further required to detect whether the mobile terminal has or turns on an auto-stop function in the call process. When the automatic screen-off function is started, further executing the subsequent steps, otherwise, not executing the subsequent steps, and ending the flow.

It should be noted that, in other cases where the auto-stop function is enabled, for example, when the user dials a phone (not in a network call) using the mobile terminal, if the mobile terminal has and opens the auto-stop function, the processing may be performed similarly to the voice call in the network call, and the subsequent steps may be performed.

S304, in the network communication process, detecting whether the operation of actively closing the screen by the user is received.

Specifically, in the network call process, the user can actively perform the operation of closing the screen in a screen-off mode set by the mobile terminal according to own habits. For example, when the user a uses the WeChat application program to make a voice call, the user a does not need to watch the display screen, actively clicks the power key of the mobile terminal to close the screen, and the mobile terminal receives the operation that the user a actively closes the screen.

S306, when the operation of actively closing the screen by the user is received, the automatic screen-extinguishing function is paused, and the sensor resource is released to the cache space.

Specifically, if it is detected that the mobile terminal is in the process of network communication, and an operation of actively closing the screen by the user is received, the automatic screen-off function is disabled. The mobile terminal can call back to the release interface added in the sensor through the JNI (Java Native Interface, java local interface) to release the sensor resources, and corresponding sensor resource information is written into the cache space through the cache interface during release.

In this embodiment, the mobile terminal may implement the automatic screen-off function in a plurality of manners, so as to correspond to a plurality of different sensors. For example, if the mobile terminal continuously detects the distance between the mobile terminal and the ear of the user through the proximity sensor, and automatically turns off the screen of the mobile terminal when the mobile terminal is detected to be close to the ear of the user, after the user actively turns off the screen, if the proximity sensor is continuously occupied, resources and power consumption are wasted, the proximity sensor resources need to be released, and the released proximity sensor resource information is written into the buffer space.

For another example, if the mobile terminal continuously detects the distance between the mobile terminal and the user by transmitting the millimeter wave signal and receiving the reflected signal through the millimeter wave radar module, and automatically turns off the screen of the mobile terminal when the mobile terminal is detected to be close to the ear of the user, after the user actively turns off the screen, if the user continues to occupy the millimeter wave radar module, resources and power consumption are wasted, resources of the millimeter wave radar module need to be released, and the released resources information of the millimeter wave radar module is written into the buffer space.

The screen-extinguishing control method provided by the embodiment can timely release the sensor resources occupied by the automatic screen-extinguishing function at the bottom layer when the user actively closes the screen in the communication process of the mobile terminal, so that the resource waste is avoided, the power consumption of the mobile terminal is saved, and the endurance time is prolonged.

Example two

As shown in fig. 4, a second embodiment of the present invention proposes a screen-extinguishing control method. In the second embodiment, the steps S400-S406 of the screen-off control method are similar to the steps S300-S306 of the first embodiment, except that the method further includes steps S408-S410.

The method comprises the following steps:

S400, setting a cache space of the sensor resource.

Specifically, a global cache space for the sensor resources with the automatic screen-extinguishing function is set in the bottom layer sensor, and the global cache space is used for temporarily storing the actively released sensor resources.

In addition, a release interface, a recovery interface and a cache interface are also required to be added in the sensordevice. The release interface is used for releasing sensor resources occupied by an automatic screen-off function in the network communication process, and the recovery interface is used for recovering the previously released sensor resources. The buffer interface is used for operating the global buffer space according to the operation type, and writing or removing sensor resource information occupied by an automatic screen-off function in the network call process (namely, writing the sensor resource information released by the release interface into the buffer space or removing the sensor resource information recovered by the recovery interface from the buffer space).

S402, detecting whether the mobile terminal is in network communication.

S404, in the network communication process, detecting whether the operation of actively closing the screen by the user is received.

S406, when the operation of actively closing the screen by the user is received, suspending the automatic screen-extinguishing function, and releasing the sensor resource to the cache space.

Specifically, if it is detected that the mobile terminal is in the process of network communication, and an operation of actively closing the screen by the user is received, the automatic screen-off function is disabled. And the mobile terminal can call back to the release interface added in the sensor through the JNI interface to release the sensor resource, and corresponding sensor resource information is written into the cache space through the cache interface during release.

S408, detecting whether the operation of actively starting the screen by the user is received.

Specifically, in the network call process, after the user actively closes the screen, sometimes the user needs to actively open the screen again to view information on the screen. Therefore, in the process that the mobile terminal is talking, it is further required to detect whether the user actively opens the screen is received. For example, when the user a uses the WeChat application program to make a voice call, because the user a does not need to watch the screen, actively clicking the power key of the mobile terminal to close the screen, after one minute, the user a needs to watch information on the screen, and actively clicking the power key to open the screen, and the mobile terminal receives the operation that the user a actively opens the screen.

S410, when receiving the operation of actively starting the screen by the user, recovering the automatic screen-extinguishing function, and removing the sensor resources from the cache space.

Specifically, after receiving the operation of actively starting the screen by the user, the mobile terminal needs the automatic screen-extinguishing function again. And the mobile terminal can call back to the recovery interface added in the sensor through the JNI interface to recover the sensor resource, so that the automatic screen-extinguishing function is recovered, and the corresponding sensor resource information is removed from the cache space through the cache interface.

For example, assuming that the mobile terminal implements the auto-close function through a proximity sensor, after receiving an operation of actively turning on a screen by a user, the mobile terminal restores the previously released proximity sensor resource and removes the proximity sensor resource information from the buffer space.

For another example, if the mobile terminal realizes the automatic screen-off function through the millimeter wave radar module, after receiving the operation that the user actively starts the screen, the mobile terminal recovers the previously released millimeter wave radar module resource and removes the millimeter wave radar module resource information from the buffer space.

According to the screen-extinguishing control method, when a user actively closes a screen in the communication process of the mobile terminal, sensor resources occupied by an automatic screen-extinguishing function are released at the bottom layer in time, and the sensor resources of the automatic screen-extinguishing function are recovered after the user actively opens the screen again, so that timely and effective control of the sensor resources is realized, resource waste is avoided, power consumption of the mobile terminal is saved, and endurance time is prolonged.

Example III

As shown in fig. 5, a third embodiment of the present invention proposes a mobile terminal 2. The mobile terminal 2 includes a memory 20, a processor 22 and a screen-rest management system 28.

The memory 20 includes at least one type of readable storage medium for storing program codes and the like of an operating system and various application software installed on the mobile terminal 2, such as a screen-in management system 28. In addition, the memory 20 may be used to temporarily store various types of data that have been output or are to be output.

The processor 22 may be a central processing unit (Central Processing Unit, CPU), controller, microcontroller, microprocessor, or other data processing chip in some embodiments. The processor 22 is typically used to control the overall operation of the mobile terminal 2. In this embodiment, the processor 22 is configured to execute the program code or process data stored in the memory 20, for example, to execute the screen-in management system 28.

In addition, the mobile terminal 2 further includes common modules such as a screen and a sensor, which are not described herein.

Example IV

As shown in fig. 6, a fourth embodiment of the present invention provides a screen-off control system 28. In this embodiment, the screen-off control system 28 includes:

a setting module 800, configured to set a cache space of the sensor resource.

A detection module 802, configured to detect whether the mobile terminal 2 is performing a network call.

Typically, a user may actively close the screen during a voice call, but may not actively close the screen during a video call. Therefore, in other embodiments, it may be further detected what network call is being performed by the mobile terminal 2 (i.e. determining the call type), if the call is a voice call, the subsequent processing is performed, otherwise (if the call is a video call) the subsequent processing is not required.

In addition, in other embodiments, it is also required to detect whether the mobile terminal 2 has or turns on an auto-stop function during a call. When the automatic screen-off function is started, further processing is carried out, otherwise, the subsequent processing is not needed, and the flow is ended.

It should be noted that, in other cases where the auto-stop function is enabled, for example, when the user uses the mobile terminal 2 to make a call (not in a network call), if the mobile terminal 2 has and opens the auto-stop function, the following processing can be performed similarly to the voice call in the network call.

The detection module 802 is further configured to detect whether an operation of actively closing the screen by the user is received during the network call.

Specifically, during the network call, the user may actively perform the operation of closing the screen in a screen-off manner set by the mobile terminal 2 according to his habit. For example, when the user a uses the micro-letter application program to make a voice call, the user a does not need to watch the display screen and actively clicks the power key of the mobile terminal 2 to close the screen, and the detection module 802 receives the operation that the user a actively closes the screen.

And the releasing module 804 is configured to suspend the auto-screen-off function when receiving an operation of actively closing the screen by the user, and release the sensor resource to the buffer space.

Specifically, if it is detected that the mobile terminal 2 is in the course of a network call, and an operation of actively closing the screen by the user is received, this indicates that the auto-off-screen function has failed at this time. The release module 804 may call back to the release interface added in the sensor through the JNI interface to release the sensor resource, and write the corresponding sensor resource information into the cache space through the cache interface during release.

In this embodiment, the mobile terminal 2 may implement the automatic screen-off function in a plurality of manners, so as to correspond to a plurality of different sensors. For example, assuming that the mobile terminal 2 continuously detects the distance between the mobile terminal 2 and the ear of the user through the proximity sensor, when detecting that the mobile terminal 2 is close to the ear of the user, the mobile terminal 2 is automatically turned off, after the user actively turns off the screen, if the proximity sensor continues to be occupied, resources and power consumption are wasted, the proximity sensor resources need to be released, and the released proximity sensor resource information is written into the buffer space.

For another example, it is assumed that the mobile terminal 2 continuously detects the distance between the mobile terminal 2 and the user by transmitting a millimeter wave signal and receiving a reflected signal through the millimeter wave radar module, and automatically turns off the screen of the mobile terminal when detecting that the mobile terminal 2 is close to the ear of the user, after the user actively turns off the screen, if the user continues to occupy the millimeter wave radar module, resources and power consumption are wasted, resources of the millimeter wave radar module need to be released, and the released resource information of the millimeter wave radar module is written into the buffer space.

The screen-extinguishing control system provided by the embodiment can timely release the sensor resources occupied by the automatic screen-extinguishing function at the bottom layer when the user actively closes the screen in the call process of the mobile terminal 2, so that the resource waste is avoided, the power consumption of the mobile terminal 2 is saved, and the endurance time is increased.

Example five

As shown in fig. 7, a fifth embodiment of the present invention provides a screen-off control system 28. In this embodiment, the screen-off control system 28 further includes a recovery module 806 in addition to the setting module 800, the detection module 802, and the release module 804 in the fourth embodiment. Wherein:

the detection module 802 is further configured to detect whether an operation of actively turning on the screen by the user is received.

Specifically, in the network call process, after the user actively closes the screen, sometimes the user needs to actively open the screen again to view information on the screen. Therefore, it is further necessary to detect whether or not an operation of actively turning on the screen by the user is received during the call of the mobile terminal 2. For example, when the user a uses the micro-letter application program to make a voice call, because the user a does not need to watch the screen, actively clicking the power key of the mobile terminal 2 turns off the screen, and after one minute, the user a needs to watch information on the screen, and actively clicking the power key to turn on the screen, and the detection module 802 receives the operation that the user a actively turns on the screen.

The restoration module 806 is configured to restore an automatic screen-off function when receiving an operation of actively turning on a screen by a user, and remove the sensor resource from the cache space.

Specifically, when receiving the operation of actively turning on the screen by the user, the mobile terminal 2 re-requires the auto-screen-off function at this time. The recovery module 806 may call back to the recovery interface added in the sensor through the JNI interface to recover the sensor resource, thereby recovering the auto-screen-off function, and removing the corresponding sensor resource information from the cache space through the cache interface.

For example, assuming that the mobile terminal 2 implements the auto-off function through a proximity sensor, after receiving an operation that the user actively turns on the screen, the restoration module 806 restores the proximity sensor resource released before and removes the proximity sensor resource information from the buffer space.

For another example, assuming that the mobile terminal 2 implements the automatic screen-off function through a millimeter wave radar module, after receiving an operation that the user actively turns on the screen, the recovery module 806 recovers the previously released millimeter wave radar module resource, and removes the millimeter wave radar module resource information from the buffer space.

The screen-extinguishing control system provided by the embodiment can timely release the sensor resources occupied by the automatic screen-extinguishing function at the bottom layer when the user actively closes the screen in the call process of the mobile terminal 2, and recover the sensor resources of the automatic screen-extinguishing function after the user actively opens the screen again, so that timely and effective control of the sensor resources is realized, resource waste is avoided, power consumption of the mobile terminal 2 is saved, and the duration is prolonged.
