In recent years, energy saving and environmental protection are becoming more and more important, and in order to save energy, current image forming apparatuses are designed to enter a so-called energy saving mode (or sleep mode) when they are not used for a while, so that users do not need to turn off their power supplies at any time in order to save power consumption of the image forming apparatuses when they are not used. However, this creates a problem: the data packets received by the image forming apparatus have a peak characteristic that the data packets received in a certain period of time are frequent or large in amount of data, and the data packets received in another period of time are infrequent or small in amount of data. Thus, the judgment time for entering the sleep state is set to be a fixed value, which causes that if the image forming device is in normal sleep state, the image forming device is frequently switched between the sleep state and the awakening state to process the data packet when the data packet received in a certain period is frequent or the data volume is large, thereby reducing the response speed of the data packet and influencing the user experience; however, if the image forming apparatus is kept in the fully awake state, excessive power consumption is caused.

As shown in fig. 2, the present embodiment provides a sleep control method for an electronic device, but the present embodiment can also be applied to other similar technical fields, and the present embodiment does not specifically limit the same.

The method comprises the following steps:

s110, acquiring data packet information received by a port of the electronic equipment within preset time;

Example two

As shown in fig. 3, the present embodiment provides a sleep control method for an electronic device, where the electronic device is an image forming apparatus, but the present embodiment can also be applied to other similar technical fields, and the present embodiment does not specifically limit the present invention. The method comprises the following steps:

s210, acquiring the appointed port of the electronic equipment in a preset time period T_t＝[T_x，T_y]Number of data packets received in P, where T_x、T_yRespectively representing time information;

taking the TCP/IP protocol as an example, in the network communication process, a host that sends out data is referred to as a source host (e.g., a computer), and a host that receives data is referred to as a destination host (e.g., an image forming apparatus). When a source host sends out data, the data is transferred from an upper layer to a lower layer in the source host. The application program in the source host now passes the data to the application layer, which, together with the necessary control information, becomes a message stream that is passed down to the transport layer. The transmission layer adds the received data unit with the control information of the layer to form a data segment, and then delivers the data segment to the network layer. The network layer adds the control information of the layer to form an IP datagram or data packet which is transmitted to the data link layer. The data link layer assembles IP datagrams or packets from the network layer into frames and passes them to the network hardware (i.e., the physical layer) in the form of a bit stream, and the data leaves the source host. When the data is transmitted to the target host, the data is transmitted from the lower layer to the upper layer, the protocol control information is removed layer by layer, the appointed function of each layer is completed, and finally the source data is obtained.

The data packets received by the image forming device include three types, wherein the first type is data packets irrelevant to the image forming device, the second type is data packets simply interacted with the image forming device, such as inquiry commands, control commands and the like, and the third type is image forming operation data packets, and in order to prevent the first type of data packets from influencing the normal dormancy of the image forming device, the data packets of the designated port are received and counted.

S220, determining whether the number P of packets received by the designated port is greater than 0, and if the determination result is no (i.e. P is 0), the process goes to S240 and outputs T_y+T_h1A signal for entering a sleep state at a moment, and then entering the sleep state (S270) until a wake-up signal is received, re-confirming T_x、T_yAfter (S280), go to S210, where T_y-T_x＞T_h1(ii) a If the judgment result in the step S220 is yes, turning to a step S230;

s230, judging whether the number P of the data packets received by the appointed port is larger than X, if the judgment result is negative (namely P is more than 0 and less than or equal to X), turning to S250, and outputting T_y+T_h2A signal for entering a sleep state at a moment, and then entering the sleep state (S270) until a wake-up signal is received, re-confirming T_x、T_yAfter (S280), go to S210, where T_y-T_x＞T_h2(ii) a If the judgment result in the step S230 is yes, the process goes to a step S260;

s260, outputting T_y+T_h3A signal for entering a sleep state at a moment, and then entering the sleep state (S270) until a wake-up signal is received, re-confirming T_x、T_yAfter (S280), go to S210, where T_y-T_x＞T_h3。

Specifically, the entering into the sleep state may be that the image forming apparatus is at T_y+T_h1Time, T_y+T_h2Time or T_y+T_h3The time is from the primary dormancy to the secondary dormancy.

For ease of understanding, the following is illustrated by way of example:

statistics of T_t＝[12:00:00,12:00:10]The number P of packets received by the image forming apparatus in a time period; let T be_h1＝2s，T_h2＝5s，T_h38s, 15 for threshold X;

when the number P of the data packets received by the image forming device is 0, the output time is 12:00:10+2sEntering into a sleep state, namely outputting a signal entering into the sleep state at the moment of 12:00:12, then entering into the sleep state until receiving a wake-up signal, and re-determining T_tCounting and circulating again after two time values in the time period;

when the number P of the data packets received by the image forming device is 10, outputting a signal which enters the sleep state at the time of 12:00:10+5s, namely outputting a signal which enters the sleep state at the time of 12:00:15, then entering the sleep state until receiving a wake-up signal, and re-determining T_tCounting and circulating again after two time values in the time period;

when the number P of the data packets received by the image forming device is 16, outputting a signal for entering the sleep state at the time of 12:00:10+8s, namely outputting a signal for entering the sleep state at the time of 12:00:18, then entering the sleep state until receiving a wake-up signal, and re-determining T_tAnd counting again and circulating after two time values in the time period.

The present embodiment is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the threshold for comparing with the received number of packets P may be 0 and X, or may be only 0 or only X, or may be two or more thresholds, and the signal indicating the time when the sleep state is entered is output according to the determination result of the size of the received number of packets P.

Further, the executed operation steps may be interchanged according to the size determination result of the received data packet number P, and the specific steps are not limited in this embodiment.
