in this embodiment, the WIFI chip obtains signal processing information, where the signal processing information is used to indicate processing conditions of various messages processed by the WIFI chip.
Specifically, the process of acquiring the signal processing information by the WIFI chip may be that the WIFI chip actively acquires the signal processing information according to a preset program, or may be that the signal processing information is acquired in response to a signal processing information request message sent by the processor, which is not limited herein.
In addition, when the WIFI chip normally works, the power consumption of the communication device is inevitably generated, in this embodiment, for the purpose of saving the power consumption of the communication device and prolonging the duration of the communication device, the WIFI chip is required to acquire the signal processing information for indicating the processing conditions of various messages processed by the WIFI chip and send the signal processing information to the processor for judgment, the signal processing information may include the processing conditions of various messages processed by the WIFI chip, for example, the number of messages filtered by the WIFI chip in the first time period, the number of beacon frames actually received by the WIFI chip in the second time period and the number of beacon frames preset and received by the WIFI chip in the second time period, the number of beacon frames of the TIM set 1 for which the data information is not received by the WIFI chip in the third time period and the number of beacon frames received by the WIFI chip in the third time period, or other signal processing information that can be used for representing the processing conditions of various messages processed by the WIFI chip However, the present invention is not limited thereto. The first time period, the second time period, and the third time period may be any time period preset in the processor or the WIFI chip, and are not limited specifically here.
302. The WIFI chip sends signal processing information to the processor;
in this embodiment, the WIFI chip sends the signal processing information obtained in step 301 to the processor.
The specific process is described in step 301, the WIFI chip may actively acquire the signal processing information according to a preset program and send the signal processing information to the processor, and exemplarily, the WIFI chip sends the signal processing information to the processor after the normal unicast packet awakens the processor to send an awakening message to the processor, so that additional power consumption caused by awakening the processor is reduced; the signal processing information may also be sent to the processor after a signal processing information request message sent by the processor is obtained, and the identification process of the WIFI abnormal high power consumption scene may be realized by setting logic control for sending the request message in the processor.
303. The processor judges whether the power consumption of the WIFI chip is abnormal or not according to the signal processing information;
in this embodiment, the processor determines whether the WIFI chip is in an abnormal high power consumption state according to the signal processing information obtained in step 302, that is, determines whether the WIFI chip is in an abnormal high power consumption state, if so, step 304 is executed, and if not, step 306 is executed.
The following describes the determination process according to the difference of the signal processing information:
firstly, when signal processing information comprises the number of message filtering of the WIFI chip in a first time period;
in this embodiment, a scene in which the WIFI chip frequently filters a packet (e.g., a multicast/broadcast packet, an ICMP packet, an ARP packet, or another packet) may be defined as one of scenes in which the power consumption of the WIFI chip is abnormal, and specifically, the WIFI chip may report the packet filtering number of the WIFI chip in a first time period so that the processor may determine whether the WIFI chip is in an abnormal power consumption state. The first time period may be any time period preset in the processor or the WIFI chip, and is not specifically limited herein.
Specifically, the processor may filter a frequency according to a message of the WIFI chip reported by the WIFI chip in a first time period, and when the frequency is greater than a first threshold, the processor may determine that the WIFI chip is in a power consumption abnormal state, for example, the first threshold may include filtering 2 messages per second, filtering 100 messages per minute, or other data, and when the message filtering frequency of the WIFI chip is greater than the first threshold, the processor determines that the WIFI chip is in a power consumption abnormal state, and then the processor subsequently executes step 304, otherwise, the WIFI chip is in a power consumption normal state, and then the processor subsequently executes step 306, where the first threshold may be data set by a manufacturer when the communication device leaves a factory, or data adjusted by a user according to an actual use condition, and this is not limited here.
When the signal processing information comprises a first beacon frame number and a second beacon frame number, wherein the first beacon frame number indicates the number of beacon frames actually received by the WIFI chip in a second time period, and the second beacon frame number indicates the number of beacon frames preset and received by the WIFI chip in the second time period;
in this embodiment, a router Beacon frame Interval received by the WIFI chip is significantly longer than a scene of Beacon Interval values in the Beacon frame, and a scene in which the proportion of the number of Beacon frames actually received in a fixed time period to the number of Beacon frames to be received is too low may be defined as one of scenes in which the power consumption of the WIFI chip is abnormal, specifically, the WIFI chip may report the number of first Beacon frames and the number of second Beacon frames of the WIFI chip in a second time period so that the processor may determine whether the WIFI chip is in an abnormal power consumption state. The second time period may be any time period preset in the processor or the WIFI chip, and is not specifically limited herein.
Specifically, the processor may determine, according to the first beacon frame number and the second beacon frame number, a first proportion that the WIFI chip actually receives the beacon frames in the second time period, when the first proportion is smaller than a second threshold, for example, the second threshold may be 15%, 20%, 25%, or another proportion, and when the first proportion calculated by the processor is smaller than the second threshold, the processor determines that the power consumption of the WIFI chip is abnormal, and the processor subsequently executes step 304; otherwise, the processor determines that the power consumption of the WIFI chip is normal, and the processor subsequently executes step 306. The second threshold may be data set by a manufacturer when the communication device is shipped from a factory, or may be data adjusted by a user according to an actual use condition, which is not limited herein.
The signal processing information comprises the number of beacon frames of a first TIM (time indication) 1 and the number of beacon frames of a second TIM 1, wherein the number of beacon frames of the first TIM 1 indicates the number of beacon frames of the TIM 1 in which the WIFI chip does not receive the data information within a third time period, and the number of beacon frames of the second TIM 1 indicates the number of beacon frames of the TIM 1 in which the WIFI chip receives the data information within the third time period;
in this implementation, when the TIM is mistakenly set for 1 in the router Beacon frame received by the WIFI chip, a scene in which the ratio of the number of received data of the Beacon frame of the TIM to the number of received Beacon frames of the TIM to 1 is too high can be defined as one of scenes in which the power consumption of the WIFI chip is abnormal, specifically, the WIFI chip can report the number of Beacon frames of the first TIM to 1 and the number of Beacon frames of the second TIM to 1 in the third time period so that the processor can determine whether the WIFI chip is in the abnormal power consumption state. The third time period may be any time period preset in the processor or the WIFI chip, and is not specifically limited herein.
Specifically, the processor may determine a second proportion of data loss of the WIFI chip in the third time period according to the number of beacon frames of the first TIM set 1 and the number of beacon frames of the second TIM set 1; when the second ratio is greater than a third threshold, for example, the third threshold may be 85%, 90%, 95%, or another ratio, and when the second ratio calculated by the processor is greater than the third threshold, the processor determines that the power consumption of the WIFI chip is abnormal, and the processor subsequently executes step 304; when the second ratio is not greater than the third threshold, the processor determines that the power consumption of the WIFI chip is normal, and the processor subsequently executes step 306. The third threshold may be data set by a manufacturer when the communication device is shipped from a factory, or may be data adjusted by a user according to an actual use condition, which is not limited herein.
304. The processor sends a power-off instruction to the WIFI chip;
in this embodiment, when the processor determines that the WIFI chip is in the power consumption abnormal state in step 303, the processor sends a power-down instruction to the WIFI chip.
Specifically, when the processor determines that the WIFI chip is in an abnormally high power consumption state according to the signal processing information sent by the WIFI chip in step 303, the WIFI chip is controlled to be powered off, so that the subsequent WIFI chip stops working.
In addition, the processor sends a power-down instruction to the WIFI chip in step 304, so that the subsequent WIFI chip is powered down, that is, the WIFI chip suspends operation, so that the communication device does not transmit data through the WIFI chip any more, in order to further improve user experience, a trigger action may be set before the power-down instruction of the WIFI chip is issued by the processor, that is, when the communication device is in a long standby state and the processor determines that the WIFI chip is in an abnormally high power consumption state, the power-down instruction is issued to the WIFI chip, where, taking a schematic diagram of the communication device shown in fig. 2 as an example, if the parameter acquisition of the battery is realized by connecting a power management integrated circuit and/or the motion recognition module is connected to realize the mobile parameter acquisition of the communication device and/or the screen connection is realized to realize the working parameter acquisition of the screen, the processor module 101 determines that the communication device is in a standby state and/or is in a screen-off state in the communication device and/or the communication device is in a screen The communication device is in a static state and/or the communication device is in a non-charging state and/or the communication device is set to a state allowing mobile data network communication, or other components not shown determine that the communication device is in a long standby state, at this time, the communication device will execute the process of sending a power-down instruction to the WIFI chip in step 304, so as to realize the control of the abnormally high power consumption of WIFI without affecting the use of the user.
In a preferred embodiment, any step in the process of step 302 to step 304 may be executed when the communication device is in a long standby state, that is, the control on the abnormally high power consumption of WIFI is realized on the premise of not affecting the normal operation of the user, so as to improve the duration of the flight of the communication device. In the implementation process of the scheme, in order to further reduce the power consumption of the communication device, before the step 302 of sending the signal processing information to the processor by the WIFI chip is executed, on the basis of the architecture of the communication device shown in fig. 2 as an example, as shown in fig. 3-1, if the communication device determines that the communication device is in the long standby state, the processor 101 may send a state feedback to the WIFI chip 102, so that the WIFI chip determines that the current state of the communication device is the long standby state, at this time, the WIFI chip may set a trigger action, after the WIFI chip sends a wake-up message to the processor, the process of the step 302 is executed, at this time, the processor enters the wake-up state according to the wake-up message, that is, the signal processing information sent by the WIFI chip is received in the wake-up state, and then the identification process of the scenario with abnormally high power consumption of the WIFI chip in the steps 303 and 304 is executed, the additional power consumption caused by awakening the processor by the WIFI chip in the scene can be reduced. The step of receiving the state feedback of the processor 101 by the WIFI chip 102 is not a step that needs to be executed, that is, the WIFI chip 102 may also directly send the signal processing information to the processor 101, so that the processor 101 directly executes the identification process of the WIFI chip in the step 303 and the step 304 in the abnormal high power consumption scene without waking up the processor 101. The wake-up message may be a dedicated unicast packet message sent by the WIFI chip to the processor, or may be a message in another form for waking up the processor.
In a preferred embodiment, after the processor sends a power-down instruction to the WIFI chip at step 304, the processor communicates over a mobile data network. That is to say, after the processor sends the power-off instruction to the WIFI chip, that is, the WIFI chip suspends operation, so that the communication device does not transmit data through the WIFI chip any more, at this time, the communication device may perform network communication through its own mobile data network, so that the terminal maintains connection with the network side.
305. The WIFI chip controls power-off according to the power-off instruction;
in this embodiment, the WIFI chip controls the WIFI chip to power down according to the power down instruction obtained in step 304.
The WIFI chip is controlled to be powered off, so that the WIFI chip stops working, and compared with the control that the power consumption of the WIFI chip can be controlled only according to the setting of a user in the prior art, the WIFI chip can be actively detected whether to be in an abnormal power consumption state or not through the processor without depending on the setting of the user, so that the power consumption of a communication equipment product is effectively reduced, and the duration is prolonged.
306. The processor performs other operations.
In this embodiment, when the processor determines that the WIFI chip is in a state with normal power consumption in step 303, or after the processor executes step 304, the processor executes other operations, for example, the processor may continuously and repeatedly execute the process from step 302 to step 304 according to a preset period, or may repeatedly execute the process from step 302 to step 304 when the processor receives signal processing information sent by the WIFI chip next time, or the processor may issue a power-on instruction to the WIFI chip when determining that the communication device exits the long standby state, so that the WIFI chip may be powered on again, and the subsequent communication device uses WIFI signal communication transmission, and in addition, the processor may execute other operations, which is not limited herein.
