The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. It is to be understood that the embodiments described are only a few embodiments of the present application and not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

Reference herein to "an embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment can be included in at least one embodiment of the application. The appearances of the phrase in various places in the specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment, nor are separate or alternative embodiments mutually exclusive of other embodiments. It is explicitly and implicitly understood by one skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

An execution main body of the application starting method may be the application starting apparatus provided in the embodiment of the present application, or an electronic device integrated with the application starting apparatus, where the application starting apparatus may be implemented in a hardware or software manner. The electronic device may be a smart phone, a tablet computer, a palm computer, a notebook computer, or a desktop computer.

An electronic device is further provided in an embodiment of the present application, please refer to fig. 1, where fig. 1 is a first structural schematic diagram of the electronic device provided in the embodiment of the present application. The electronic device 100 provided by the embodiment of the application includes a first control chip 110, a second control chip 120 and a display screen 130, and the power consumption of the second control chip 120 is lower than that of the first control chip 110. The first control chip 110 and the second control chip 120 are connected to the display screen 130 through a communication bus. Also, the first control chip 110 and the second control chip 120 are electrically connected to the display screen 130. The communication bus may be an I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit) bus or an SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) bus. In other embodiments, other formats of communication buses may be used, and are not specifically limited herein.

The first control Chip 110 may serve as a main control SOC (System on Chip) of the electronic device 100. In some embodiments, the first controller chip 110 has a first processor integrated thereon. In some embodiments, the first control chip 110 also has a first memory integrated thereon.

The second control chip 120 is a low power consumption SOC, the power consumption in the operating state is far smaller than the power consumption of the first control chip 110 in the operating state, a second processor and a second memory are integrated on the second control chip, the frequency of the second processor is far smaller than that of the first processor, and the capacity of the memory of the second control chip 120 is also smaller than that of the memory of the first control chip 110.

The first control chip 110 can control the electronic device 100 to operate in the first mode based on the first operating system, and enter the sleep state when the electronic device operates in the second mode. In the sleep state, the first control chip 110 does not perform data processing, and part or all of the electronic devices of the first control chip 110 may be powered off. The second control chip 120 may control the electronic device 100 to operate in the second mode based on the second operating system.

It will be appreciated that the first and second operating systems are different operating systems, and that the second operating system requires fewer resources to run than the first operating system. The resource may be a storage space, an operation frequency, a required power amount, and the like. For example, the first operating system may be an android operating system, a Linux operating system, a Windows operating system, or an ios operating system, and the second operating system may be a real-time operating system. The electronic device 100 may run both the first operating system and the second operating system. It should be noted that the first operating system and the second operating system are two independent operating systems.

Wherein the first mode and the second mode may be different operating modes of the electronic device 100. Referring to fig. 2 and fig. 3 at the same time, fig. 2 is a schematic view of the electronic device provided by the embodiment of the present application when operating in a first mode, and fig. 3 is a schematic view of the electronic device provided by the embodiment of the present application when operating in a second mode.

As shown in fig. 2, the first mode may be understood as a normal operation mode of the electronic device 100, or a standard power consumption mode. When the electronic device 100 operates in the first mode, the power consumption of the electronic device 100 is the standard power consumption, i.e., the normal power consumption. The first mode may include a bright screen operation mode or a bright screen display mode. In the bright screen mode, the display screen of the electronic device 100 is lit, and icons and names of a plurality of applications may be displayed on the display screen of the electronic device 100. When the user clicks the application icon, the electronic device 100 may launch the corresponding application. In addition, information such as time, date, weather, temperature, etc. may also be displayed on the display screen of the electronic device 100.

As shown in fig. 3, the second mode may be understood as a low power consumption mode of the electronic device 100. When the electronic device 100 operates in the second mode, the power consumption of the electronic device 100 is low, and at this time, the power consumption of the electronic device 100 is less than the standard power consumption, that is, less than the normal power consumption. That is, the power consumption of the electronic device 100 when operating in the second mode is less than the power consumption of the electronic device 100 when operating in the first mode. Wherein, the second mode can comprise a screen-off display mode or a simple operation mode. Among them, the off screen On Display (AOD) mode refers to a Display mode in which the electronic device 100 displays information On the Display screen 130 in the off screen Display mode. For example, after the electronic device 100 enters the screen-off display mode, the first control chip 110 may enter a sleep state, and the second control chip 120 enters an operating state, so as to implement dynamic display, refresh, touch screen processing of the screen, and running of some application programs under extremely low power consumption. For example, when the electronic device 100 is in the off-screen display mode, the second control chip 120 may control updating and displaying of information such as time, date, weather, calendar, and the like, may also control displaying of an icon of a shortcut tool on an off-screen display interface, and may also support running of some lightweight applications such as an electronic book, a compass, a calculator, and the like.

Taking the application identifier of the off-screen display as an example, please continue to refer to fig. 3 and 4, and fig. 4 is another schematic diagram of the electronic device operating in the second mode according to the embodiment of the present application.

As shown in fig. 3, the application identifier may be an icon identifier corresponding to some shortcut applications, such as an application identifier corresponding to a calculator application, a mini-game application, a memo application, an unlock application, a clock application, a camera application, a flashlight application, a compass application, and the like. And the user can start the corresponding shortcut application by operating the corresponding application identification.

It is understood that when the display screen 130 is turned off to display the application identifiers, the application identifiers may be arranged on the display screen 130 in a ring shape with the unlocked application as a center. Of course, the plurality of application identifiers may be arranged in a matrix, a star, or other shapes. The embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit the arrangement form of the plurality of application identifiers.

As shown in fig. 4, the application identifier may also be a prompt icon identifier of some notification information. Such as missed call reminder icon identification, unread message reminder icon identification, and the like. The user can start the application generating the notification information by operating the corresponding prompt icon identifier. The notification information may be received when the electronic device 100 is in the off-screen display mode, or the notification information may be received when the electronic device 100 is in the on-screen display mode.

Specifically, when the electronic device 100 is in the bright screen display mode, the radio frequency circuit inside the electronic device 100 realizes wireless signal transmission between the electronic device 100 and the base station through the antenna system of the electronic device 100. After receiving the wireless signal transmitted by the base station, the radio frequency circuit transmits the wireless signal to the first control chip 110, and the first control chip 110 generates a notification information reminding event according to the wireless signal. When receiving the screen-off triggering event, the first control chip 110 may send the information prompting event, such as the notification information prompting icon identifier, to the second control chip 120, and wake up the second control chip 120, and then the first control chip 110 itself enters the sleep state. After the second control chip 120 is awakened, the display data of the second control chip 120 is input to the display screen 130 for control, and the second control chip 120 may turn off the display screen to display the prompt icon identifier of the notification information on the display screen 130, so as to remind the user to view the notification information.

When the electronic device 100 is in the screen-off display mode, after the radio frequency circuit of the electronic device 100 receives the wireless signal transmitted by the base station, the radio frequency circuit may send a wake-up instruction to the first control chip 110, and the first control chip 110 is switched from the sleep state to the working state according to the wake-up instruction (at this time, in order to save power consumption, the first control chip 110 may send a sleep instruction to the second control chip 120, so that the second control chip 120 enters the sleep state). Then, the first control chip 110 receives the wireless signal transmitted by the radio frequency circuit and generates a notification information reminding event (for example, the notification information reminding icon identifier), when the first control chip 110 receives a screen-off display instruction, the first control chip 110 sends the notification information reminding event to the second control chip 120, wakes up the second control chip 120, and then the first control chip 110 enters a sleep state. After the second control chip 120 is awakened, the display data of the second control chip 120 is input to the display screen 130 for control, and the second control chip 120 may turn off the display screen to display the prompt icon identifier of the notification information on the display screen 130, so as to remind the user to view the notification information.

The above are only individual embodiments of the electronic device in the embodiment of the present application, which operates in the second mode, and in addition to displaying the application identifier by turning off the screen, the electronic device in the embodiment of the present application may also display other time, dynamic wallpaper, and the like by turning off the screen when operating in the second mode.

Since the first mode is a standard power consumption mode and the second mode is a low power consumption mode, the first operating system can be understood as a standard power consumption operating system, and the second operating system can be understood as a low power consumption operating system. Therefore, in the electronic device 100, it can also be understood that the first control chip 110 is used for controlling the electronic device 100 to operate in the standard power consumption mode under the standard power consumption operating system, and the second control chip 120 is used for controlling the electronic device 100 to operate in the low power consumption mode under the low power consumption operating system. Wherein, the first control chip 110 controls the electronic device 100 to operate in the standard mode under the standard power consumption operating system, and the second control chip 120 may be in the sleep state. When the second control chip 120 controls the electronic device 100 to operate in the low power mode under the low power operating system, the first control chip 110 may be in the sleep state.

It should be noted that, in the second mode, some functions of the electronic device 100 are locked, and other functions are still available. For example, in the off-screen display mode, the display screen of the electronic device 100 is locked and turned off, but the display screen of the electronic device 100 may display part of information in the off-screen display mode, for example, information such as time, a screen lock identifier, a shortcut application icon, and the like may be displayed on the electronic device 100.

It can be understood that, in the first mode, the electronic device 100 can quickly start the application to meet all functional requirements of the user, for example, to perform an online shopping function, a game function, an audio/video function, and the like required by the user. In the second mode, the electronic device 100 can quickly start the shortcut application to meet some functional requirements of the user, such as executing a calculator function, a game machine function, a note function, a camera function, a flashlight function, and the like, and on the premise of meeting some functional requirements of the user, the power consumption of the electronic device 100 can be effectively reduced, and the endurance time of the electronic device 100 can be prolonged.

It can be understood that, since the operation power consumption of the second control chip 120 is less than that of the first control chip 110, the processing capacity of the second control chip 120 is less than that of the first control chip 110. That is, the first control chip 110 has a relatively high processing capability, and the second control chip 120 has a relatively low processing capability. When the electronic device 100 operates in the first mode, the first control chip 110 may perform all data processing and control all functional components of the electronic device 100 based on the first operating system. When the electronic device 100 operates in the second mode, the second control chip 120 can only perform partial data processing and control partial functional components of the electronic device 100 based on the second operating system. For example, the second control chip 120 may perform simple data processing and control functional components with low data processing requirements based on the second operating system, and the second control chip 120 may not perform complex data processing and control functional components with high data processing requirements.

It can be understood that the first control chip 110 controls the electronic device 100 to operate in the first mode based on the first operating system, the second control chip 120 controls the electronic device 100 to operate in the second mode based on the second operating system, and the first control chip 110 enters the sleep state when the electronic device 100 operates in the second mode, so that the power consumption of the first control chip 110 can be saved when the electronic device 100 operates in the second mode, and since the operating power consumption of the second control chip 120 is less than that of the first control chip 110, and the resources required by the second operating system are less than those required by the first operating system when the electronic device 100 operates in the second mode, the power consumption of the electronic device 100 is less than that when the electronic device 100 operates in the first mode, so that the continuous operation of the electronic device 100 can be ensured to meet the user's requirement, and the power consumption of the electronic device 100 can be effectively reduced, the endurance of the electronic device 100 is extended.

In the description of the present application, it is to be understood that terms such as "first", "second", and the like are used merely to distinguish one similar element from another, and are not to be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implying any indication of the number of technical features indicated.

It is understood that the electronic device 100 can operate in both the first mode and the second mode, and therefore the electronic device 100 can switch between the first mode and the second mode. Referring to fig. 5, fig. 5 is a schematic view of a second structure of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

The electronic device 100 of the embodiment of the application may further include a switching module 140, where the switching module 140 includes at least two

data input terminals

141 and 142, at least one output terminal 143, and at least one switching control terminal 144. One data input terminal 141 of the switching module 140 may be connected to the display data output terminal 111 of the first control chip 110, another data input terminal 142 of the switching module 140 may be connected to the display data output terminal 121 of the second control chip 120, a switching control terminal 144 of the switching module 140 is connected to the switching control signal output terminal 122 of the second control chip 120, and a data output terminal 143 of the switching module 140 may be connected to the display screen 130.

It is understood that the switching module 140 is used for switching the display data conducting path of the display screen 130 between the first control chip 110 and the second control chip 120. For example, case A: when the first control chip 110 is in a working state and the second control chip 120 is in a dormant state, the display data of the first control chip 110 is input to the display screen 130 through the switching module 140 for display control. Case B: when the first control chip 110 detects that the display screen 130 enters the screen-off display mode, the second control chip 120 is awakened, and the first control chip 110 enters the sleep state. After the second control chip 120 is awakened and the switching module 140 is controlled to perform the switching operation, the switching module 140 switches the input source of the display data of the display screen 130 from the first control chip 110 to the second control chip 120, that is, the display data of the second control chip 120 is input to the display screen 130 through the switching module 140 for display control. Case C: when the first control chip 110 is woken up to enter the working state, if the first control chip 110 needs to display information on the display screen 130, the second control chip 120 controls the switching module 140 to perform a switching operation, and switches to conduct the display data output by the first control chip 110 to the display screen 130 for display control. After the switching, the second control chip 120 may go to the sleep state, i.e. go back to the situation a, and thus the switching control of the display screen 130 is implemented in a loop.

In the above manner, the second control chip 120 always controls the switching of the switching module 140, so that the interface occupation of the first control chip 110 can be saved in the hardware design level. The first control chip 110 is a main control SOC chip in the electronic device 100, such as an Application Processor (AP), and the main control SOC generally has more functional control and its interface resources are less. The second control chip 120 outputs the switching control signal to control the switching of the switching module 140, so that an interface (e.g., a bus interface) of the main control SOC is not occupied, and the complexity of circuit design is reduced.

The electronic device 100 of the embodiment of the present application may further include a touch circuit, and the touch circuit may be electrically connected to the first control chip 110 and the second control chip 120. The touch control circuit can be disposed at any position on the surface of the electronic device 100 as required. For example, the touch circuit may be disposed on a surface of a back panel of the electronic device 100, or the touch circuit may be in the form of a touch screen overlying the display screen 130. The second control chip 120 can communicate with the touch screen through I2C, and communicate with the display screen 130 through MIPI (Mobile Industry Processor Interface).

It is understood that the touch circuit may be used to receive a touch instruction from a user. The first control chip 110 may receive a touch instruction of a screen-off event of a user based on the touch circuit, and the second control chip 120 may receive a touch instruction of a screen-on event of the user based on the touch circuit.

For example, when the electronic device 100 is in the bright screen display mode, if the first control chip 110 receives the touch instruction of the screen-off event, the wake-up request may be sent to the second control chip 120, and after the second control chip 120 receives the wake-up request, the second control chip 120 enters the working state.

When the electronic device 100 is in the screen-off display mode, if the second control chip 120 receives the touch instruction of the screen-on event, the wake-up request may be sent to the first control chip 110, and after the first control chip 110 receives the wake-up request, the first control chip 110 enters the working state.

Based on the structure of the electronic device 100, the application starting method provided in the embodiment of the present application is described. Referring to fig. 6, fig. 6 is a first flowchart illustrating an application starting method according to an embodiment of the present application. The specific process of the application starting method provided by the embodiment of the application can be as follows:

in 101, when the first control chip detects that the electronic device enters the screen-off display mode, the first control chip wakes up the second control chip, and enters the sleep state after waking up the second control chip.

When the electronic device 100 receives a screen locking instruction or a screen off instruction in the bright screen display mode, triggering a screen off event, for example, triggering a screen locking instruction by a user through a screen locking key or a screen locking control; or when the electronic device 100 is in the bright screen display mode, the user does not operate the electronic device 100 within a certain time period, and a screen-off event is triggered.

The first control chip 110 controls the display screen 130 to enter the screen-off display mode when detecting the screen-off event. Meanwhile, the first control chip 110 sends a first wake-up command to the second control chip 120 to wake up the second control chip 120, and the first control chip 110 enters a sleep state after waking up the second control chip 120.

The second control chip 120 may output a switching control signal to control the switching module 140 to perform a switching operation, so that the switching module 140 switches from conducting the display data output by the first control chip 110 to the display screen 130 to conducting the display data output by the second control chip 120 to the display screen 130, so as to implement the display control of the second control chip 120 on the display screen 130.

At 102, the second control chip detects a touch signal, where the touch signal indicates to start a target application.

After the second control chip 120 is woken up, the second control chip 120 may detect a touch signal through the touch circuit. The touch signal may instruct the electronic device 100 to start the target application, that is, the touch signal may be a trigger signal for starting the target application. The touch signal may be a signal generated by an operation such as an application identifier, a prompt identifier, and the like acting on the display screen 130, for example, a sliding touch signal, a long-press touch signal, a concurrent multi-touch signal, and the like.

The sliding touch signal may be a sliding trigger signal triggered when the second control chip 120 receives a sliding operation. The sliding operation is used for a touch operation indicating sliding from a first position of the display screen 130 to a second position, where the first position may be a preset position in the display screen 130, and the second position may also be a position where the application identifier or the prompt icon is located.

The long-press touch signal may also be a long-press touch signal triggered when the second control chip 120 receives a target long-press operation, and the target long-press operation may also be a long-press operation acting on the application identifier or the prompt icon.

The concurrent multi-touch signal may also be a concurrent multi-touch signal triggered when the second control chip 120 receives at least two target touch operations at the same time, where the positions of the at least two target touch operations include at least a third position and a fourth position, where the third position may be a preset position in the display screen 130, and the fourth position may be a position where an application identifier or a prompt icon is located.

When the touch signal is set to be the sliding touch signal, the long-press touch signal and the concurrent multi-point touch signal, the application identifier in the screen-off display interface can be effectively prevented from being touched by mistake, and the application corresponding to the application identifier can be effectively prevented from being started when a user does not want to start the application. Of course, the touch signal is not limited to the above example.

The touch circuit receives the touch signals and then sends the touch signals to the second control chip 120, and the second control chip 120 identifies and detects the touch signals.

In 103, the second control chip starts the target application according to the application type of the target application, or wakes up the first control chip according to the application type of the target application, and starts the target application by the first control chip.

Target applications of different application types may correspond to different launch modes. According to the application type of the target application, the second control chip 120 may directly start the target application; or the second control chip 120 may wake up the first control chip 110 and then the target application is started by the first control chip 110. When the second control chip 120 wakes up the first control chip 110, it can enter a sleep state to save power consumption.

It is understood that the first control chip 110 may start and use an application provided on the first operating system based on the first operating system, the second control chip 120 may start and run an application provided on the second operating system based on the second operating system, and resources required for the second operating system to run may be less than those required for the first operating system to run. Therefore, when the target application is an application set in the first operating system, the second control chip 120 may wake up the first control chip 110, and the first control chip 110 may start and run the target application based on the first operating system after being woken up. When the target application is an application set in the second operating system, the second control chip 120 may directly start and run the target application based on the second operating system, and further, the first control chip 110 does not need to be woken up, so that power consumption of the electronic device 100 may be saved.

After the second control chip 120 wakes up the first control chip 110, the second control chip 120 may also output a switching control signal to control the switching module 140 to perform a switching operation, so that the switching module 140 switches from conducting the display data output by the second control chip 120 to the display screen 130 to conducting the display data output by the first control chip 110 to the display screen 130, so as to implement the display control of the first control chip 110 on the display screen 130.

It is to be understood that in the specific embodiments, the present application is not limited by the execution order of the various steps described, and some steps may be performed in other orders or simultaneously without conflict.

As can be seen from the above, the application starting method according to the embodiment of the present application is applied to the electronic device 100, the electronic device 100 includes the first control chip 110 and the second control chip 120, and the power consumption of the second control chip 120 during operation is lower than the power consumption of the first control chip 110 during operation. In the operation process of the electronic device 100, when the first control chip 110 detects that the display mode enters the screen-off display mode, the second control chip 120 is awakened, and the electronic device enters a sleep state after the second control chip 120 is awakened; the second control chip 120 detects a touch signal indicating to start a target application; the second control chip 120 starts the target application according to the application type of the target application, or wakes up the first control chip 110 according to the application type of the target application, and the first control chip 110 starts the target application. Based on this, according to the application starting scheme provided in the embodiment of the present application, when the electronic device is in the screen-off display mode, if the user wants to start the target application and perform the touch operation on the electronic device, the first control chip does not need to be woken up, and the second control chip with low power consumption detects the touch signal generated by the touch operation in the screen-off display mode, that is, once the first control chip enters the sleep state in the screen-off display mode, the sleep state can be maintained, and the first control chip does not need to be woken up due to the detection of the touch signal, so that the power consumption caused by frequently wakening up the first control chip can be saved. In addition, in the screen-off display mode, the first control chip 110 with higher power consumption enters a sleep state, and the second control chip 120 with lower power consumption detects the touch signal, so that the power consumption required for detecting the touch signal can be reduced. With the above two aspects, the overall power consumption of the electronic device 100 can be ultimately reduced.

The method according to the preceding embodiment is illustrated in further detail below by way of example.

Referring to fig. 7, fig. 7 is a second flowchart illustrating an application starting method according to an embodiment of the present application.

103, the second control chip starts the target application according to the application type of the target application, or wakes up the first control chip according to the application type of the target application, and starts the target application by the first control chip, further comprising:

1031. and if the target application is the second type of target application, the second control chip starts the target application.

1032. And if the target application is the first type of target application, the second control chip wakes up the first control chip and enters a dormant state after waking up the second control chip.

1033. The first control chip starts the target application.

Wherein the first type of target application may be an application installed on the first control chip 110. Specifically, the operating system may be stored in a memory of the first control chip 110 and run based on the first operating system on the memory. The first type of target application may be a heavyweight application such as a video playback application, a social communication application, a music playback application, and the like. During the starting and running of these first type target applications, the first control chip 110 needs a lot of resources, so that the first operating system of the first control chip 110 becomes a heavyweight operating system.

The second type of target application may be an application installed on the second control chip 120. Specifically, the operating system may be installed on a memory of the second control chip 120, and the second operating system may be a lightweight operating system with respect to the first operating system on the first control chip 110. The second type of target application may be a calculator application, a mini-game application, a memo application, an unlock application, a clock application, a camera application, a flashlight application, an in-guide application, or other lightweight shortcut application.

Before the step of detecting the touch signal by the second control chip, the second control chip 120 may control the electronic device 100 to turn off the screen to display the application identifier of one or more applications, where the one or more applications include the target application. For example, the second control chip 120 may control the display screen 130 to turn off the screen to display the application identifier of the first type of target application, the second control chip 120 may also control the display screen 130 to turn off the screen to display the application identifier of the second type of target application, and the second control chip 120 may also control the display screen 130 to turn off the screen to display the first type of target application and the application identifier of the second type of target application at the same time.

The touch signal may be an operation signal that acts on application identifications of different types of target applications. When the second control chip 120 detects that the touch signal is a signal generated by an application identifier acting on the second type of target application, it indicates that the user wants to start the second type of target application installed on the second control chip 120, and at this time, the second control chip 120 may directly start the second type of target application. Since the applications installed on the second control chip 120 are all light-weight applications, the second control chip 120 with smaller power consumption is used to start the second type of target application, so that the overall power consumption of the electronic device 100 can be reduced.

When the second control chip 120 detects that the touch signal is a signal generated by an application identifier acting on the first type of target application, it indicates that the user wants to start the first type of target application installed on the first control chip 110, because the resources that the second control chip 120 can call are not enough to start the first type of target application, at this time, the second control chip 120 wakes up the first control chip 110, and the first control chip 110 starts the first type of target application, which can ensure the normal operation of the target application.

After the second control chip 120 wakes up the first control chip 110, the second control chip 120 may perform a switching operation on the switching module 140, so that the second control chip 120 enters a sleep state to save power consumption of the electronic device 100. Meanwhile, after the first control chip 110 is awakened, the display data output by the first control chip 110 is input into the display screen 130, and the first control chip 110 may control the display screen 130 to display a start interface or a display interface of the first type of target application in the bright-screen display mode.

Referring to fig. 8, fig. 8 is a third flowchart illustrating an application starting method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. In step 1033, the first control chip starts a first type of target application, including:

10331. the first control chip detects the current running state of the target application.

10332. And if the current running state is the background running state, the first control chip controls the target application to be switched to the foreground running state.

10333. And if the current running state is the non-running state, the first control chip starts the target application.

After the first control chip 110 is awakened, the first control chip 110 may detect a current state of the first type of target application. The current state may include being in a background running state or being in a non-running state.

When the first type of target application is in a background state, the first control chip 110 may directly control the target application to switch to a foreground operation. At this time, the display screen 130 may directly display the display interface of the target application, and may skip the main display unlocking interface, the target application starting interface, and the like of the electronic device 100.

When the first type of target application is in the non-running state, the first control chip 110 may directly start the first type of target application. At this time, the display screen 130 may display a launch interface of the first type of target application, while skipping a main display unlock interface, a target application unlock interface, and the like of the electronic device 100.

In this embodiment of the application, the first control chip 110 starts the target application according to the state of the target application, and the electronic device 100 directly starts the target application without a complicated main display unlocking interface, thereby achieving an effect that the electronic device 100 directly starts the target application without unlocking.

In the following, taking the example that the user operates the second type of target application, namely the compass application, in the screen-off display mode, the application starting method according to the embodiment of the present application is specifically described:

when detecting that the display screen 130 enters the screen-off display mode, the first control chip 110 sends a first wake-up instruction to the second control chip 120 to wake up the second control chip 120, the second control chip 120 is switched from the sleep state to the working state according to the first wake-up instruction, and meanwhile, the first control chip 110 enters the sleep state after waking up the second control chip 120;

the second control chip 120 displays the icon-compass application identification of the second type of target application off screen on the display screen 130;

the second control chip 120 detects a touch signal through the touch circuit;

the second control chip 120 determines that the touch signal indicates to start the icon-compass application of the second type of target application, and the second control chip 120 directly starts the second type of target application-compass application, and continues to display the start interface/display interface of the second type of target application-start interface/display interface of the compass application in the off-screen display mode.

Taking the example that the user operates the first type of target application, namely the social application, in the screen-off display mode, the application starting method in the embodiment of the present application is specifically described below:

the second control chip 120 displays the received first type of target application identifier, i.e., the social application unread notification information identifier, on the display screen 130;

the second control chip 120 detects a touch signal through the touch circuit;

the second control chip 120 determines that the touch signal indicates to start the first type of target application, namely the social application, the second control chip 120 sends a second wake-up instruction to the first control chip 110, and the first control chip 110 is switched from the sleep state to the working state according to the second wake-up instruction; meanwhile, the second control chip 120 enters a sleep state after waking up the first control chip 110;

the first control chip 110 detects a current state of a first type of target application-social application;

if the current state is the background running state, the first control chip 110 controls the first type of target application, namely the social application, to be directly switched to the foreground running state;

if the current state is the non-running state, the first control chip 110 starts the first type of target application, i.e., the social application.

Based on this, according to the application starting scheme provided in the embodiment of the present application, when the electronic device is in the screen-off display mode, if the user wants to start the target application and perform the touch operation on the electronic device, the first control chip does not need to be woken up, and the second control chip with low power consumption detects the touch signal generated by the touch operation in the screen-off display mode, that is, once the first control chip enters the sleep state in the screen-off display mode, the sleep state can be maintained, and the first control chip does not need to be woken up due to the detection of the touch signal, so that the power consumption caused by frequently wakening up the first control chip can be saved. In addition, in the screen-off display mode, the first control chip 401 with higher power consumption enters a sleep state, and the second control chip 402 with lower power consumption detects the information reminding signal and the first preset touch signal, so that the power consumption required for detecting the touch signal can be reduced. With the above two aspects, the overall power consumption of the electronic device 100 can be ultimately reduced.
