Description

Heartbeat awakening method for application and terminal equipment

Technical Field

The embodiment of the application relates to the field of computers, in particular to a heartbeat awakening method and terminal equipment applied to the heartbeat awakening method.

Background

Currently, more and more clients of Applications (APPs) are installed on terminal devices (e.g., mobile phones). After a long connection is established between a client of some applications and an application server of the application, the long connection may be broken if the client of the application and the application server do not communicate for a long time. To avoid the above-mentioned long connection disconnection, the terminal device may periodically wake up the client of the application, as shown in fig. 1A, so that the client of the application sends a heartbeat packet to the application server for reminding the application server to maintain the long connection with the client of the application.

In a conventional method, a terminal device typically wakes up all clients (such as application clients 1 to N shown in fig. 1B, where N is a positive integer) of applications establishing a long connection running in a background of the terminal device periodically according to a fixed heartbeat cycle to trigger the clients of the applications to send heartbeat packets to corresponding application servers, so that the clients of the applications and the application servers maintain a long connection. However, for applications that are not used often by the user, the user is less likely to use the application again, and the need to keep long connections from breaking is less stringent. The method for periodically waking up the client of the application according to the fixed heartbeat cycle can cause the application which is not frequently used to be frequently waken up unnecessarily, thereby wasting the electric quantity of the terminal equipment.

Detailed Description

The embodiment of the application provides a heartbeat awakening method for an application, which is applied to a process that a terminal device periodically awakens a client of the application running in a background in a screen-off state. The terminal device periodically wakes up the client of the application running in the background and is used for triggering the client of the application to send a heartbeat packet to the application server which establishes long connection with the client, so that the client of the application can keep the long connection with the application server.

In the embodiment of the application, foreground running means that the application is currently running in the terminal device, occupies system resources of the terminal device, and currently displays a window interface of the application on a screen of the terminal device. Background running refers to that an application runs in the current terminal equipment, occupies system resources of the terminal equipment, but does not display a related interface on a screen of the terminal equipment at present.

In the embodiment of the present application, the long connection is based on a transmission control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), which is also called TCP connection. It can be understood that during the connection establishment phase of the TCP connection, the client of the application needs to perform three handshakes with the application server (including the first handshake, the second handshake, and the third handshake). The method comprises the steps of establishing TCP connection for connecting with a designated port of AN application server, synchronizing Sequence numbers ((SN), Acknowledgement Numbers (AN), TCP window information and the like) of two sides of the TCP connection, carrying out four handoffs (comprising a first handoff, a second handoff, a third handoff and a fourth handoff) between AN applied client and the application server at a connection dismantling stage of the TCP connection, and releasing the TCP connection between the applied client and the application server.

In some cases, the TCP connection is established on demand, and if the data or signaling transmission between the transmitting and receiving parties is completed, the TCP connection between the transmitting and receiving parties is disconnected. When there is a need for data or signaling transmission next time, the TCP connection is re-established, which is called short connection. However, since the connection establishment phase and the connection removal phase of the TCP connection are complicated, if the TCP connection is frequently disconnected, three-way handshaking is required to establish the TCP connection again when data packet transmission is performed next time, which wastes a certain amount of time and system overhead. Thus, in order to save time and system overhead, a long connection between the client of the application and the application server may be maintained. That is, even if data or signaling transmission between the transmitter and the receiver ends, the TCP connection is not disconnected. Thus, when the data packet needs to be transmitted next time, the data packet can be directly transmitted through the long connection.

In some cases, when the client of the application and the application server maintain a long connection, if the client of the application and the application server do not transmit data or signaling for a long time, the application server may disconnect the long connection with the client for the purpose of saving network resources, and leave more network resources to other devices with transmission requirements. For example, in general, if the client and the application server of the application do not transmit data or signaling within 5 minutes, the application server may disconnect the long connection. Therefore, in order to prevent the long connection between the client of the application and the application server from being disconnected, the terminal device may periodically wake up the application, so that the client of the application periodically sends a heartbeat packet to the application server, so as to ensure that the application server always considers that the long connection is in an active state, thereby avoiding the long connection being disconnected.

In the heartbeat awakening method for the application provided by the embodiment of the application, the terminal device can be a netbook, a tablet computer, an intelligent watch and the like. Alternatively, the terminal device may be other desktop devices, laptop devices, handheld devices, wearable devices, smart home devices, vehicle-mounted devices, and the like having a radio communication function, such as Ultra-mobile Personal computers (UMPCs), smart cameras, netbooks, Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs), Portable Multimedia Players (PMPs), AR (augmented reality)/VR (virtual reality) devices, aircrafts, robots, and the like.

As described above, in the conventional method, the terminal device may periodically wake up, according to a fixed heartbeat cycle, all the clients of the applications running in the background of the terminal device and establishing long connection with the application server. For example, the terminal device may periodically wake up the client of the application according to the heartbeat time indicated by the system heartbeat clock.

The system heartbeat clock is set and started by the operating system of the terminal device 100 when the terminal device 100 is powered on, and takes a fixed duration as a periodic heartbeat clock. The system heartbeat clock may be applicable to clients of all applications installed in the terminal device 100. For example, the operating system of millet red rice sets and starts the system heartbeat clock at 8 minutes of the system heartbeat cycle, the operating system of le jin LG 2 sets and starts the system heartbeat clock at 8 minutes of the system heartbeat cycle, and the samsunote 3 sets and starts the system heartbeat clock at 5 minutes of the system heartbeat cycle. As shown in fig. 2B, a schematic diagram of a system heartbeat clock provided in the embodiment of the present application is introduced by taking an example that a system heartbeat cycle of the terminal device 100 is 5 minutes and the terminal device 100 is turned on at 9:00 AM.

However, as described above, the above conventional method may cause the applications that are not used frequently to be woken up unnecessarily frequently, wasting the terminal device power.

In order to solve the above problem, an embodiment of the present application provides an application heartbeat wakeup method, and with this method, a terminal device may determine a heartbeat cycle of at least one application according to one or more information of an actual situation of the at least one application installed in the terminal device 100 and usage scenario information of the terminal device.

The heartbeat awakening method applied in the embodiment of the application can be applied to a terminal device with a hardware structure as shown in fig. 2A or a terminal device with a similar structure. Or the method may also be applied to terminal devices with other structures, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application. The heartbeat wakeup method for an application provided in the embodiment of the present application is specifically described below with reference to the terminal device 100 shown in fig. 2A. Among them, the terminal device 100 has a plurality of clients of applications installed therein. The terminal device 100 is in the screen-off state.

As shown in fig. 3, the heartbeat wakeup method for an application provided in the embodiment of the present application may include:

s301, the terminal device 100 acquires one or more of application indication information of the first application and usage scenario information of the terminal device 100.

Among them, the terminal device 100 has a plurality of clients of applications installed therein. For example, a client of an application such as "WeChat", "foxmail mailbox", "QQ music", "sharing a bicycle", "Payment treasures", and Baidu maps ". The first application is one of the above-mentioned plurality of applications. The first application runs in the background of the terminal device 100 and establishes a long connection with the application server of the first application.

In an embodiment of the present application, the application indication information of the first application is used to indicate: (A) an application type of the first application; and/or, (B) time information or times of the first application running in the foreground of the terminal equipment within a preset time.

(A) An application type of the first application.

In some embodiments, the application type of the first application may be pre-configured. The terminal device 100 may determine the application type of the first application by analyzing the function of the first application.

The application type of the application can be at least any one of instant messaging, social contact, video and audio, office, news, tools, travel, life and reading. For example, social applications may include "WeChat," "microblog," and "Tencent QQ," among others. Audio and video applications may include "you cool" and "QQ music" among others. Office-like applications may include "microsoft office" and "foxmail mailbox" among others. News-like applications may include "head of the day" and "central news," among others. The tool class applications may include "alarm clock", "calendar", and "weather", among others. The travel-class application may include "Baidu map" and "12306", among others. Lifestyle applications can include "how hungry", "pay for treasure", "share a bike", and "panning", among others. Reading applications may include "bean reading", "southern weekend", "triple week of life", and "world literature famous" and the like. The application types of the application include, but are not limited to, the above several application type examples, which are not limited in this application embodiment.

(B) Time information or times of operation of the first application in the foreground of the terminal device 100 within a preset time.

In this embodiment of the application, the time information of the first application running in the foreground of the terminal device 100 within the preset time is used to represent the time length of the first application running in the foreground of the terminal device 100 within the preset time.

In some embodiments, the time information that the first application runs in the foreground of the terminal device 100 within the preset time may include detailed running time information that the first application runs in the foreground of the terminal device 100 within the preset time (e.g., within the last week).

It can be understood that the terminal device 100 may determine, according to the above detailed running time information of the first application, a time period for the first application to run in the foreground of the terminal device 100 within a preset time. For example, the detailed runtime information that "WeChat" has been running in the foreground of the terminal device 100 during the last week includes: 2019/8/120: 30-2019/8/121: 30, 2019/8/219: 45-2019/8/221: 00, 2019/8/319: 30-2019/8/321: 45, 2019/8/419: 00-2019/8/420: 30, 2019/8/519: 30-2019/8/521: 45, 2019/8/619: 00-2019/8/620: 30 and 2019/8/721: 00-2019/8/722: 12. The terminal device 100 may determine that the "WeChat" is operated in the foreground of the terminal device 100 for 11 hours within a preset time.

Alternatively, the terminal device 100 may determine the runtime rule of the first application and/or the habit of the user to use the first application according to the above detailed runtime information of the first application. For example, the terminal device 100 may determine that the "WeChat" is running within a preset time, typically 19:00 to 22:30 in the evening, according to the detailed running time information of the "WeChat". Therefore, the terminal device 100 can infer that the user is used to use the 'WeChat' at night between 19: 00-22: 30.

In this embodiment of the present application, the usage scenario information of the first application may include: (a) screen-off time of the terminal device 100; (b) network status information of the terminal device 100; (c) at least one of the profile information of the terminal device 100:

(a) the screen-off time of the terminal device 100.

In this embodiment, the screen-off time of the terminal device 100 refers to a time when the terminal device 100 enters a screen-off state; or the time length from the time when the terminal device 100 enters the screen-off state to the current time.

For example, if the screen-off time of the terminal device 100 is "10 minutes", it means that the time period from the time when the terminal device 100 enters the screen-off state to the current time is 10 minutes (i.e., the terminal device 100 has continued to be in the screen-off state for 10 minutes). For another example, if the screen-off time of the terminal device 100 is "11: 30", it indicates that the terminal device 100 enters the screen-off state at 11: 30.

It is understood that the longer the period of time for which the terminal device 100 has been continuously in the off-screen state, the less likely it is that the application installed in the terminal device 100 is currently used. And, the terminal device 100 may determine, according to the time when the terminal device 100 enters the screen-off state, the rule that the terminal device 100 is used by the user and/or the habit of the user using the terminal device 10.

(b) Network status information of the terminal device 100.

Wherein the network status information of the terminal device 100 is used to indicate whether the terminal device 100 is connected to the network or not. The network status information of the terminal device 100 is also used to indicate the type of network the terminal device 100 is connected to, and the signal quality of the network the terminal device 100 is connected to, if the terminal device 100 is connected to the network. The network type to which the terminal device 100 is connected may include, but is not limited to, at least one of a 2G network, a 3G network, a 4G network, a 5G network, and a wireless fidelity (WiFi).

It will be appreciated that if the terminal device 100 is not connected to the network, it is not possible for the client of the first application to maintain a long connection with the application server. In this case, the terminal device 100 does not need to wake up the client of the first application periodically.

In addition, if the terminal device 100 is connected to a network and the terminal device 100 is connected to networks of different network types, the heartbeat cycles of the first application that is periodically woken up are different, which causes different influences on the user. For example, if the terminal device 100 is connected to a 2G network, the client of the first application sends a heartbeat packet to the application server through the 2G network. If the heartbeat period is set too small, an extra traffic cost is caused to the user due to frequent transmission of heartbeat packets. If the terminal device 100 is connected to WiFi, the client of the first application sends a heartbeat packet to the application server through WiFi. If the heartbeat period is set to be too large, a long connection between the client side of the application and the application server may be disconnected due to the too large period, which affects user experience.

(c) Contextual model information of the terminal device 100.

In the embodiment of the present application, the profile information of the terminal device 100 is used to indicate that the terminal device 100 is in any one of a sports mode, a sleeping mode, a pocket mode, or a desktop mode. Here, that the terminal device 100 is in the motion mode means that the terminal device 100 is in a motion state, for example, the terminal device 100 is in a walking state or a running state. The terminal device 100 being in the sleep mode means that the terminal device 100 detects that the user is in a sleep state. The terminal device 100 being in the pocket mode means that the terminal device 100 is placed in a pocket, a bag, or a drawer or the like. The terminal device 100 being in the desktop mode means that the terminal device 100 is resting on a fixed location such as a desktop.

It is understood that the terminal device 100 is in a sport mode, a sleep mode, a pocket mode, or a desktop mode, the less likely that the application installed in the terminal device 100 is currently used. In this case, the terminal device 100 does not have to wake up the client of the first application too frequently. In some embodiments of the present application, the terminal device 100 may determine the contextual model information of the terminal device 100 by analyzing data collected by a sensor provided in the terminal device 100. Wherein the sensor may be at least one of an acceleration sensor, a gyroscope sensor, a magnetic sensor, an ambient light sensor, a distance sensor, and a proximity light sensor. A method and a process for determining the contextual model information of the terminal device 100 by analyzing data collected by a sensor provided in the terminal device 100 will be described in detail below.

It should be noted that the application indication information of the first application is not limited to the application type of the first application or the time information or the number of times that the first application runs in the foreground of the terminal device within the preset time. The usage scenario information of the first application is also not limited to the above-described screen-off time of the terminal device 100, the network state information of the terminal device 100, or the profile information of the terminal device 100. The application indication information of the first application and the usage scenario information of the first application may further include other information, which is not limited in this embodiment.

In some embodiments, the terminal device 100 may periodically acquire one or more of the application indication information of the first application and the usage scenario information of the terminal device 100 after the terminal device 100 enters the screen-off state.

S302, the terminal device 100 determines the heartbeat cycle of the first application according to the application indication information and the usage scenario information.

The heartbeat cycle of the first application is used for the terminal device 100 to periodically wake up the first application to trigger the client of the first application to send a heartbeat packet to the application server of the first application, so that the long connection between the client of the first application and the application server of the first application is maintained.

In some embodiments, the terminal device 100 may be preset with application indication information and/or a corresponding relationship between usage scenario information and a heartbeat cycle. The terminal device 100 may determine the heartbeat cycle of the first application by looking up the correspondence.

Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram illustrating a principle of a method for determining an application heartbeat cycle according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 4, the terminal device 100 may determine the heartbeat cycle of the first application by comprehensively considering the application type of the first application, the time information or the number of times that the terminal device 100 runs the first application in the foreground of the terminal device 100 within the preset time, the screen-off time of the terminal device 100, the network state information of the terminal device 100, and the contextual model information of the terminal device 100. Of course, fig. 4 is merely an example. In fact, as described above, the terminal device 100 may determine the heartbeat cycle of the first application according to any one or more of (a), (B), and (c) above. The corresponding relationship between the application indication information and/or the usage scenario information and the heartbeat cycle may be preset in the terminal device 100 in a table form, or may be preset in the terminal device 100 in other forms, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

For example, table 1 below describes a table format, and the correspondence between the application indication information and/or the usage scenario information preset in the terminal device 100 and the heartbeat cycle is described by taking the correspondence between the "application type", "screen-off time", and the "contextual model" and the heartbeat cycle "preset in the terminal device 100 as an example. The table may be in other forms, and the form of the table is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.

TABLE 1

Wherein, t_stepFor heart beat step size, e.g. t _step150 seconds(s). As shown in table 1, if the duration of the terminal device 100 in the screen-off state is less than the preset threshold (for example, 10 minutes), the terminal device 100 may set the heartbeat cycle of the social application to 1t regardless of the contextual model of the terminal device 100_stepSetting the heartbeat cycle of the life application to 2t_stepSetting the heartbeat cycle of the tool application to 1t_step。

As shown in table 1, if the duration of the terminal device 100 continuing to turn off the screen is greater than or equal to the preset threshold (e.g., 10 minutes), and the contextual model information of the terminal device 100 indicates that the terminal device 100 is in any one of the motion mode, the sleep mode, the pocket mode or the desktop mode, the terminal device 100 may set the heartbeat cycle of the social application to 2t_stepSetting the heartbeat cycle of the life application to 4t_stepSetting the heartbeat cycle of the tool application to 2t_step. And if the profile information of the terminal device 100 indicates that the terminal device 100 is in a mode other than the sports mode, the sleep mode, the pocket mode, or the desktop modeIn other scenarios, the terminal device 100 may set the heartbeat cycle of the social application to 1t_stepSetting the heartbeat cycle of the life application to 2t_stepSetting the heartbeat cycle of the tool application to 1t_step。

It can be understood that, if the duration of the terminal device 100 continuing to turn off the screen is greater than or equal to the preset threshold, and the contextual model of the terminal device 100 is any one of the motion mode, the sleep mode, the pocket mode or the desktop mode, the terminal device 100 may predict that the terminal device 100 is not noticed or used by the user for a long period of time. In this case, the terminal device 100 may wake up the application with a relatively large heartbeat cycle.

In addition, if the first application is an instant messaging application, in view of the wide use of instant communication by the user using the terminal device, the terminal device 100 predicts that the first application is more likely to be noticed or used by the user for a longer period of time than other tool type applications or life type applications. Thus, the first application and the type of application may be woken up with a relatively small heartbeat cycle. It should be noted that table 1 is only an example. In some embodiments, in order to avoid an influence of an excessively large heartbeat cycle on some tool applications (e.g., a timer), the terminal device 100 may further wake up the application according to the system heartbeat clock instead of waking up the application according to the heartbeat wakeup method of the application of the embodiment of the present application.

In some embodiments, the terminal device 100 may also be preset with a list of special applications, and for the applications in the list, the applications may be woken up according to the system heartbeat clock.

In addition, in table 1, 10 minutes is taken as an example of the preset threshold, and the preset screen-off duration threshold may also be other values, which is not limited in this application embodiment. In addition, if the duration of the terminal device 100 in the continuously-off state is greater than or equal to the preset threshold, when the terminal device 100 is in different contextual models, the heartbeat cycles of the applications of the same application type may also be different. As shown in table 2, another example of the correspondence relationship between the "application type", the "screen-off time", and the "profile" and the "heartbeat cycle" preset in the terminal device 100 is shown.

TABLE 2

Alternatively, as shown in table 3, the preset correspondence relationship in the terminal device 100 may also be a correspondence relationship between "screen-off time", "scene mode", and "foreground operation frequency" and "heartbeat cycle". The "foreground operation frequency degree" is used to represent the frequency degree of the application operating in the foreground of the terminal device 100 within the preset time.

TABLE 3

In some embodiments, the terminal device 100 may determine how frequently the application runs in the foreground of the terminal device 100 within the preset time according to the following rules: if the number of times that the application runs in the foreground of the terminal device 100 within the preset time is greater than a first threshold (for example, 50 times), determining that the application runs at a high frequency; if the number of times that the application runs in the foreground of the terminal device 100 within the preset time is greater than a second threshold (for example, 10 times) and less than or equal to a first threshold (namely, 50 times), determining that the application runs at a low frequency; if the number of times that the application runs in the foreground of the terminal device 100 within the preset time is greater than 0 and less than or equal to a second threshold (i.e. 10 times), determining that the application runs occasionally; if the number of times that the application runs in the foreground of the terminal device 100 within the preset time is equal to 0, it is determined that the application does not run. Alternatively, other methods may also be used to determine how frequently an application runs in the foreground of the terminal device 100 within a preset time, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

Illustratively, assume that the terminal device 100 is in a motion mode, the terminalThe end device 100 is currently in the screen-off state, and the duration of the screen-off state is 12 minutes. In addition, the terminal device 100 determines that the frequency of the "WeChat", "today's first item" and "Taobao" running in the foreground of the terminal device 100 within the preset time is as follows: the ' WeChat ' high-frequency operation, the ' today ' first-line ' low-frequency operation and the ' Taobao ' do not operate. By looking up table 3, the terminal device 100 can determine that the heartbeat period of the WeChat is 2t_stepThe heart cycle of the "top of the day" is 3t_stepThe heart cycle of the Taobao is 4t_step. Let t_stepFig. 5 shows a schematic diagram of the heartbeat clocks of a plurality of applications determined by the terminal device 100 in the embodiment of the present application as 150 s.

In some embodiments, the "foreground run frequency" in table 3 above may also be replaced with a "foreground run number ranking", as shown in table 4.

TABLE 4

The "foreground operation frequency ranking" is 1, which indicates that the application has the largest number of operations in the foreground of the terminal device 100 within the preset time. The number of times that the application runs in the foreground of the terminal device 100 within the preset time is less and less represented by 1 to N, where N > 1 and N is an integer. It can be understood that, under the same condition, the higher the "foreground running time ranking" of an application, the higher the possibility that the application is frequently used, and the terminal device 100 may set the heartbeat cycle to be relatively smaller, which may ensure that the long connection between the client of the application and the application server is not disconnected with a higher probability.

For example, assuming that the terminal device 100 is in the motion mode, the terminal device 100 is currently in the screen-off state, and the duration of the screen-off state is 8 minutes. In addition, the terminal device 100 determines that "WeChat", "today's headline" and "Taobao" are inThe ranking of the number of times of foreground operation of the terminal device 100 in the preset time is as follows: "WeChat" ranking 3, today's first item ranking 3, and Taobao' ranking 4. By looking up table 4, terminal device 100 can determine that the heartbeat period of the WeChat is 2t_stepThe heart cycle of the "top of the day" is 3t_stepThe heart cycle of the Taobao is 4t_step。

Alternatively, "foreground run frequency" in table 3 above may be replaced by "foreground run duration ranking". For the specific explanation and description of "foreground run-time ranking", reference may be made to the above specific introduction of "foreground run-time ranking", which is not described herein again.

Alternatively, as shown in table 5, the preset correspondence relationship in the terminal device 100 may also be a correspondence relationship between "network type", "screen-off time", "scene mode", and "foreground operation frequency" and "heartbeat cycle". Here, the "network type" is used to characterize the type of network to which the terminal device 100 is connected.

TABLE 5

In some embodiments, if the network status information of the terminal device 100 indicates that the terminal device 100 is not connected to the network, the terminal device 100 may abandon the execution S302, that is, the terminal device 100 abandons the determination of the heartbeat cycle of the first application. Until the terminal device 100 connects to the network, the terminal device 100 re-acquires the application indication information and/or the usage scenario information (i.e., re-executes S301), and then determines the heartbeat cycle of the first application according to the re-determined application indication information and/or usage scenario information.

It should be noted that table 1, table 2, table 3, table 4, and table 5 are only examples of correspondence between application indication information and usage scenario information preset in several types of terminal devices 100 and a heartbeat cycle. The corresponding relationship is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present application, that is, the corresponding relationship may be a corresponding relationship between any one or more of "application type", "screen-off time long", "contextual model", "foreground operation frequency" (or "foreground operation time ranking"/"foreground operation frequency ranking"), "network type" and other application indication information and usage scenario information, and "heartbeat cycle".

In some embodiments, the terminal device 100 may further analyze the application indication information of the first application acquired by the terminal device 100 in S301 and the usage scenario information of the terminal device 100, and predict an operation rule of the first application in a preset time period.

For example, the terminal device 100 may determine the operation rule of the first application in the preset time according to the time information that the terminal device 100 acquires in S301 that the first application is operated in the foreground of the terminal device 100 within the preset time. For example, as described above, the terminal device 100 may determine the high frequency time period in which the "WeChat" operates in the foreground of the terminal device 100 in the last week time, based on the detailed operation time in which the "WeChat" operates in the foreground of the terminal device 100 in the last week time. Is 19: 00-22: 30 at night. Namely, the terminal device 100 can predict that the user is used to use the 'WeChat' at night between 19:00 and 22: 30. In this case, the terminal device 100 may set the heartbeat period of the wechat between 19:00 and 22:30 at night every day to be smaller, so as to ensure that the long connection between the wechat client and the application server is not disconnected with a higher probability.

For example, the terminal device 100 may predict the possibility that the first application is running in the foreground within a preset time period according to a specific function of the first application. For example, the first application is mainly used for ordering take-out, and the terminal device 100 may predict that the first application is more likely to be operated in the foreground during the lunch time period (e.g., 11: 00-13: 00) and the dinner time period (e.g., 18: 00-20: 00) according to the specific function of the first application. In this case, the terminal device 100 may set the heartbeat cycle of the first application to be small in the lunch time period and the dinner time period to ensure with a greater probability that the long connection between the client of the first application and the application server is not disconnected during the above time period.

Further, as shown in fig. 6, the heartbeat wakeup method for an application provided in the embodiment of the present application may further include:

s603, the terminal device 100 determines the first heartbeat time.

In some embodiments, the first heartbeat time may be at a first duration expiration time T1 from the current time T.

Assume that the first application has a heartbeat period of T. Referring to fig. 7, as shown in fig. 7, the current time is time t. The terminal device 100 determines the first heartbeat time T1 as the expiration time T1 of the time period T elapsed from the time T. Where, T1 is T + T.

In other embodiments, if the first application has a heartbeat cycle greater than or equal to the duration from the previous heartbeat time T00 to the current time, the first heartbeat time is from the previous heartbeat time T00 at the current time T0 past the expiration time T1 of the first duration. Wherein the first duration is equal to a heartbeat cycle of the first application. When S601, S602, and S603 are performed for the first time after the terminal device 100 turns off the screen to determine the first heartbeat time, the previous heartbeat time T00 is the heartbeat time indicated by the system heartbeat clock.

Referring to fig. 8A, as shown in fig. 8A, the current time is time t. At the time T, the terminal device 100 determines that the heartbeat period T of the first application is greater than or equal to the duration from the previous heartbeat time T00 to the current time T, i.e. T ≧ T (T-T00). The terminal device 100 determines that the first heartbeat time is the expiration time T1 of the time period T elapsed from the previous heartbeat time T00 of the time T. Wherein, T1 is T00+ T.

If the heartbeat period T of the first application is less than the duration from the previous heartbeat time T00 to the current time T, i.e. T < (T-T00), the first heartbeat time is from the next heartbeat time T11 of the current time T0, and the expiration time T1 of the first duration T elapses. Referring to fig. 8B, as shown in fig. 8B, the current time is time t. At time T, the terminal device 100 determines that the heartbeat cycle T of the first application is less than the duration from the previous heartbeat time T00 to the current time T, i.e., T < (T-T00). The terminal device 100 determines that the first heartbeat time is the expiration time T1 of the time period T elapsed from the subsequent heartbeat time T11 of the time T. Wherein, T1 is T11+ T.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 6, after the terminal device 100 executes S603, the method for waking up a heartbeat of an application provided in the embodiment of the present application may further include:

s604, the terminal device 100 starts from the first heartbeat time, and periodically wakes up the first application according to the heartbeat cycle of the first application.

The terminal device 100 wakes up the first application periodically for triggering the client of the first application to send the heartbeat packet to the application server of the first application. The terminal device 100 may continue to wake up the first application periodically until the client of the first application disconnects or the terminal device 100 lights up. As shown in fig. 7, 8A, and 8B, the terminal device 100 wakes up the first application at times T1, T2 … …, and the like in sequence.

It is understood that if the client of the first application disconnects the long connection, it does not make sense for the client of the first application to send a heartbeat packet to the application server of the first application even if the terminal device 100 wakes up the client of the first application. When the first application needs to transfer data with the application server of the first application, a long connection between the first application and the application server of the first application needs to be re-established.

In addition, in some embodiments, when the terminal device 100 is in the bright screen state, the terminal device 100 uses the system heartbeat clock as a reference for applying the heartbeat timing. It is understood that when the terminal device 100 is in the bright screen state, the terminal device 100 generally does not interfere too much with the heartbeat cycle of the application in order to ensure the best representation of the functions of all applications. Therefore, if the terminal device 100 changes from the screen-off state to the screen-on state, as shown in fig. 8, after the terminal device 100 changes from the screen-off state to the screen-on state, the terminal device 100 may end the heartbeat wakeup method of the application provided in the embodiment of the present application. And periodically waking up the first application by using a system heartbeat clock as a reference for the application heartbeat opportunity.

S605, the terminal device 100 determines whether the client of the first application is disconnected from the long connection or whether the terminal device 100 turns off the screen to the bright screen. If so, the terminal device 100 executes S606.

S606, the terminal device 100 stops according to the heartbeat cycle of the first application, and periodically wakes up the first application.

In other embodiments, as shown in fig. 9, after the terminal device 100 executes S603, the method for waking up a heartbeat of an application according to the embodiment of the present application may further include:

s904, the terminal device 100 aligns the first heartbeat time to the second heartbeat time.

The second heartbeat time is used for the terminal device 100 to wake up the first application at the second heartbeat time, so as to trigger the client of the first application to send a heartbeat packet to the application server of the first application.

It will be appreciated that since the heartbeat cycles of different applications may be different, the next application heartbeat time for different applications may be different. Illustratively, as shown in fig. 10, the heartbeat times t1, t2 and t3 of the next application of "WeChat", "today's head bar" and "Taobao" are all different. Wherein t1 is t0+300s, t2 is t0+450s, and t3 is t0+600 s. That is, in the case shown in fig. 10, the terminal device 100 needs to wake up "WeChat" at time t1, then wake up "today's head at time t2, and wake up" Taobao "at time t 3. The terminal device 100 needs to operate frequently for the wake-up application, which obviously is disadvantageous for saving power of the terminal device 100.

Therefore, in order to balance the power consumption saving and the user experience of the terminal device 100, in some embodiments of the present application, the terminal device 100 may align the heartbeat time of the first application to the previous heartbeat time or the next heartbeat time of the heartbeat time.

In some embodiments, the terminal device 100 may align the heartbeat time of the first application to a previous heartbeat time or a next heartbeat time of the heartbeat time according to a preset condition. Wherein the preset condition may be a preset alignment manner. The preset alignment mode at least comprises leftward alignment, rightward alignment and close alignment. Alternatively, the preset condition may also be other conditions or rules, which are not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

In some embodiments, the terminal device 100 may align the heartbeat time of the first application to a previous system heartbeat time or a next system heartbeat time of the heartbeat time according to a preset condition.

For example, the preset alignment manner is a near alignment, and the terminal device 100 may align the first heartbeat time T1 of the first application to the system heartbeat time closest to the first heartbeat time T1 according to the near alignment rule. As shown in fig. 11 (a), the system heartbeat time closest to the first heartbeat time T1 is T22. The terminal device 100 may align the first heartbeat time T1 of the first application to the system heartbeat time T22. That is, the terminal device 100 wakes up the first application at time T22.

If the preset alignment manner is rightward alignment, the terminal device 100 may align the first heartbeat time T1 of the first application to the first system heartbeat time after the first heartbeat time T1 according to the rightward alignment rule. As shown in (b) of fig. 11, the first system heartbeat time after the first heartbeat time T1 is T22. Terminal device 100 may align first heartbeat time T1 of the first application to system heartbeat time T_alarm(T22). That is, the terminal device 100 wakes up the first application at time T22.

If the alignment mode is left alignment, the terminal device 100 may align the first heartbeat time T1 of the first application to the latest system heartbeat time before the first heartbeat time T1 according to the left alignment rule. As shown in (c) of fig. 11, the last system heartbeat time before the first heartbeat time T1 is T11. Terminal device 100 may align first heartbeat time T1 of the first application to system heartbeat time T_alarm(T11). That is, the terminal device 100 wakes up the first application at time T11.

In some embodiments, the terminal device 100 may count the heartbeat time of all applications that the terminal device 100 wakes up periodically. The preset condition is determined by combining the number of applications scheduled to be woken up by the terminal device 100 at the first heartbeat time T1, and the number of applications scheduled to be woken up by the terminal device 100 at the previous system heartbeat time T1 and the next system heartbeat time T1. Alternatively, the preset condition may also be determined according to other conditions or rules, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

Illustratively, the terminal device 100 plans to wake up 5 applications at the first heartbeat time T1, 3 applications at the previous system heartbeat time T1, and 8 applications at the next system heartbeat time T1. In this case, the terminal device 100 may set the alignment of the first heartbeat time T1 to be right alignment. All applications that are scheduled to wake up at this time are aligned to the right to wake up at the time of the last system heartbeat at T1.

S905, the terminal device 100 determines the next heartbeat time.

The terminal device 100 may determine the next heartbeat time according to the heartbeat cycle T of the first application.

Illustratively, if the last heartbeat time was the first heartbeat time T1, then the next heartbeat time is after the first heartbeat time T1, separated from the first heartbeat time T1 by the heartbeat cycle T of the first application.

S906, the terminal device 100 aligns the next heartbeat time after the first heartbeat time of the first application to the system heartbeat time by using the same method as S904.

The terminal device 100 aligns the next heartbeat time after the first heartbeat time of the first application to the system heartbeat time, and is configured to wake up the first application at the system heartbeat time to trigger the client of the first application to send a heartbeat packet to the application server of the first application.

S907, the terminal device 100 determines whether the client of the first application is disconnected from the long connection or whether the terminal device 100 turns off the screen to the bright screen.

If so, the terminal device 100 executes S908.

If not, the terminal device 100 re-executes S905, S906, and S907. And sequentially determining each heartbeat time by adopting the same method. Such as T2 and T3 in fig. 11 (a), fig. 11 (b), and fig. 11 (c), and the like.

S908, the terminal device 100 stops according to the heartbeat cycle of the first application, and periodically wakes up the first application.

As described above, it can be appreciated that the client of the first application cannot send heartbeat packets to the application server of the first application when the client of the first application disconnects from the long connection. Accordingly, the terminal device 100 may stop periodically waking up the client of the first application. When the terminal device 100 changes from the screen-off state to the screen-on state, in order to ensure the best embodiment of the first application function, the terminal device 100 may end the heartbeat wakeup method of the application provided in the embodiment of the present application. And periodically waking up the first application by using a system heartbeat clock as a reference for the application heartbeat opportunity.

By adopting the heartbeat awakening method for the application, provided by the embodiment of the application, the requirement of dynamically adjusting the heartbeat period of the application according to one or more of the actual conditions of the application, the use scene information of the terminal equipment and the like can be met. And the power consumption of the terminal equipment in the screen-off state can be reduced. Fig. 12 is a diagram illustrating a comparison between power consumption of a heartbeat wakeup method using an application provided in an embodiment of the present application and power consumption of a conventional heartbeat wakeup method. Fig. 12 (a) shows output current statistics of a conventional heartbeat wake-up method for a certain time. Fig. 12 (b) shows the output current statistics of the heartbeat wakeup method applied in the embodiment of the present application over a certain time. It is understood that the operating voltage of a terminal device is fixed, and the magnitude of the output current reflects the power consumption of the terminal device. As shown in fig. 12 (a), the terminal device wakes up the application disorderly by using the conventional heartbeat wakeup method. By adopting the heartbeat awakening method for the application provided by the embodiment of the application, the terminal equipment awakening application is relatively regular. Fig. 12 (c) shows a power consumption comparison result of the heartbeat wakeup method applied by the embodiment of the present application and the conventional heartbeat wakeup method. As can be seen from fig. 12 (a), fig. 12 (b), and fig. 12 (c), by using the heartbeat wakeup method applied in the embodiment of the present application, power consumption of the terminal device in the screen-off state is greatly reduced.

In some embodiments of the present application, the terminal device 100 may collect first data through a sensor provided in the terminal device 100, and analyze the first data, so as to determine the contextual model information of the terminal device 100. Wherein the sensor may be at least one of an acceleration sensor, a gyroscope sensor, a magnetic sensor, an ambient light sensor, a distance sensor, and a proximity light sensor.

In one implementation, the terminal device 100 may determine the posture of the terminal device 100 by analyzing data collected by the acceleration sensor and/or the magnetic sensor, and the gyroscope sensor, and then determine the contextual model information of the terminal device 100 according to the posture of the terminal device 100. The attitude of the terminal device 100 at least includes a moving direction and a moving speed of the terminal device 100, and a yaw angle (yaw), a pitch angle (pitch), and a roll angle (roll) of the terminal device 100 with respect to a ground coordinate system.

The acceleration sensor comprises a mass block, a sensitive element and other components. The working principle of the acceleration sensor is as follows: the sensing element converts the inertial force applied to the mass block into an electrical signal, and thus, the translation direction and the translation speed of the terminal device 100 are determined according to the electrical signal converted from the stress condition of the mass block. Wherein, the atress condition of quality piece shows: the force-bearing direction of the mass block and the acceleration of the mass block in the force-bearing direction. The force-receiving direction of the mass block may include: x along a three-dimensional coordinate system_bAxis, y_bAxis and z_bSix directions on three axes, i.e. + x_b，-x_b，+y_b，-y_b，+z_bAnd-z_bAnd (4) direction. Therefore, in the first data, the data collected by the acceleration sensor may be a translation direction of the terminal device and a translation speed at which the terminal device moves along the translation direction.

The gyroscope sensor comprises a gyroscope rotor, a driving motor and the like. The operation principle of the gyro sensor is that the driving motor drives the gyro rotor to rotate around the rotation axis, and the rotation angle of the terminal device 100 and the rotation angular velocity of the terminal device 100 are determined by measuring the angle between the rotation axis of the gyro rotor and the three-dimensional coordinate system (including the X axis, the Y axis, and the Z axis) of the terminal device 100 and the angular velocity of the gyro rotor.

The principle of the magnetic sensor is similar to that of a compass, and the included angles between the terminal device 100 and the south, the west and the north can be measured.

That is, the acceleration sensor may measure "how far the terminal device 100 has moved along the X axis", the gyro sensor may measure "the terminal device 100 has turned around", and the magnetic sensor may measure "the terminal device 100 moves westward".

Referring to fig. 13, as shown in fig. 3, a schematic diagram of an attitude of a terminal device 100 according to an embodiment of the present application is shown. As shown in fig. 13, x_bAxis, y_bAxis, z_bThe axes and the origin O constitute a coordinate system of the terminal device 100. x is the number of_gAxis, y_gAxis, z_gThe axes and origin O constitute the ground coordinate system. Where O is the center of mass of the terminal device 100, x_bThe axis is directed towards the head of the terminal device 100 in the plane of symmetry of the terminal device 100 and parallel to the axis of the body of the terminal device 100. y is_bAxis perpendicular to x_bThe axis points to the right of the terminal device 100. z is a radical of_bAxis perpendicular to x_bAn axis and points below the body of the terminal device 100. x is the number of_gThe axis is in the horizontal plane and points in a certain direction. z is a radical of_gThe axis is perpendicular to the ground and directed towards the center of the earth. y is_gThe axis being perpendicular to x in the horizontal plane_gThe axis, the pointing direction of which is determined according to the right-hand rule.

As shown in fig. 13, the yaw angle refers to x corresponding to the terminal device 100_bProjection of axis on horizontal plane and ground coordinate system x_gAngle between axesWith the front end portion of the terminal device 100 deflected to the right being positive. The pitch angle refers to x corresponding to the terminal device 100_bThe angle θ between the axis and the ground plane (or horizontal plane) is positive with the front end portion of the terminal device 100 deflected upward. The roll angle is z corresponding to the terminal device 100_bAxle and pass-through terminal 100x_bBetween the vertical planes of the shaftsThe angle phi of (c) is positive with the terminal device 100 rolling right.

Illustratively, the terminal device 100 determines that the movement speed of the terminal device 100 is 0 m/s, and the pitch angle θ of the terminal device 100 is 0 and the roll angle Φ is 0 by analyzing the first data collected by the acceleration sensor, the magnetic sensor, and the gyro sensor. The terminal device 100 may determine that it is in the desktop mode.

As a further example, the westward movement of the terminal device 100 is determined at the terminal device 100 by analyzing data collected by the acceleration sensor, and the movement speed is 6 m/s. The terminal device 100 may determine that it is in the motion mode. In this case, in some embodiments, the terminal device may ignore the yaw angle of the terminal device 100

Pitch angle θ and roll angle φ.

Further, the terminal device 100 may further be in a running mode, a walking mode, or a riding mode according to a speed range corresponding to a running mode preset in the terminal device 100. For example, if the speed range corresponding to the running mode preset in the terminal device 100 is 3 m/s to 12 m/s, the terminal device 100 may determine that it is in the running mode.

In another implementation manner, the terminal device 100 may further determine environment information where the terminal device 100 is located by analyzing data collected by an ambient light sensor, a distance sensor, or a proximity light sensor, and then determine the contextual model information of the terminal device 100 according to the environment information of the terminal device 100.

For example, the terminal device 100 determines that the ambient light level at which the terminal device 100 is located is very dark through an ambient light sensor, and in addition, determines that the screen of the terminal device is blocked by other objects in combination with data collected by a distance sensor or a proximity light sensor. Combining the above results, the terminal device 100 can determine that it is in the pocket mode.

In other embodiments, the terminal device 100 may determine the heart rate information of the user by analyzing the data collected by the heart rate sensor, and then determine the contextual model information of the terminal device 100 according to the heart rate information of the user.

For example, the terminal device 100 analyzes heart rate information of the user collected by a heart rate sensor, and determines that the heart rate information matches a preset heart rate of the person in a sleep state. In this case, the terminal device 100 may consider the terminal device not to be used by the user, and the terminal device 100 may determine that the terminal device 100 is in the sleep mode. The heart rate sensor of the terminal device 100 may collect heart rate information of the user through the bracelet.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the contextual model of the terminal device 100 may be determined by comprehensively analyzing data collected by a plurality of sensors. For example, when the terminal device 100 determines that the terminal device 100 is in the sport mode by analyzing the first data collected by the acceleration sensor, the magnetic sensor, and the gyroscope sensor, the terminal device 100 may further determine, in combination with a biometric indicator such as a heart rate of the user detected by the heart rate sensor, whether the terminal device 100 is in the running mode, the walking mode, or the riding mode. For example, the data such as the heart rate of the user detected by the heart rate sensor corresponds to the biometric index range of a regular person when running, which is configured in advance in the terminal device 100, in this case, the terminal device 100 may determine that it is in the running mode.
