Detailed Description

Reference will now be made in detail to exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, the same numbers in different drawings refer to the same or similar elements, unless otherwise indicated. The implementations described in the following exemplary examples are not representative of all implementations consistent with the present disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with some aspects of the present disclosure as detailed in the accompanying claims.

In the related art, the decision timeout value of a device is determined based on factory settings or applied software, which in turn causes the decision timeout values corresponding to different devices to be different. In order to avoid that when a user wakes up the device, a plurality of devices in the distributed device networking answer at the same time, and influence the use experience of the user, a mode of lengthening the timeout decision value is adopted, so that each device in the distributed device networking adopts the same and fixed timeout decision value (for example, 300 milliseconds) to determine whether to answer or not. The timeout decision value refers to a waiting time for deciding whether the device replies or not after the device is awakened.

When the decision is made in the mode, under the condition that the current equipment determines that the current equipment can answer, whether the current equipment receives the wake-up data packet sent by other equipment or not in the process of waiting for the answer, the current equipment needs to wait for the answer after the timeout decision value corresponding to the equipment is ended, so that the waiting time of the user for waiting for the equipment to answer is too long, the use experience of the user is affected, and the performance of the user on the equipment is easily questioned. The wake-up data packet includes decision data for informing the other devices of whether the other devices answer or not.

In view of this, the present disclosure provides a device response control method, which can determine, according to a correspondence between a performance state and a decision timeout value, a decision timeout value corresponding to a current device in the current performance state, and further, in combination with decision timeout values corresponding to other devices in a distributed device network, determine, again, a decision timeout value corresponding to the current device, so as to obtain a final decision timeout value, so that when the current device replies to a decision, the current device can make a decision under the condition of determining whether other devices reply, thereby effectively reducing the probability that each device in the same distributed device network is simultaneously awakened, and improving the use experience of a user.

In an embodiment, the device response control method provided by the present disclosure is applied to any device in a distributed device network. In one example, any intelligent device may be used, such as: cell phones, flat-panel, smart televisions, smart speakers, smart lamps, etc. In another example, the structure of the device may include: a double-sided screen device, a folding screen device, a full-screen device, etc.

In another embodiment, the distributed device networking is a networking formed by a plurality of devices under the same lan account under which the devices can interact with each other. In one example, in a distributed device networking, devices share the same server, and the devices can interact with each other through the server.

The following describes a current device as a first device in order to distinguish the current device from other devices within a distributed device network.

Fig. 1 is a flowchart illustrating a device response control method according to an exemplary embodiment. As shown in fig. 1, the device response control method is used in the first device, and includes the following steps S11 to S12.

In step S11, a first decision timeout value is determined, wherein the first decision timeout value is a waiting time for the first device to answer to the wake-up message in the first performance state.

In step S12, a second decision timeout value is obtained, where the second decision timeout value is a waiting duration of the second device for responding to the wake-up message in the second performance state, and the second device is another device different from the first device in the distributed device networking.

In step S13, the first decision timeout value is adjusted based on the first decision timeout value and the second decision timeout value.

In step S14, a wake-up message is acknowledged based on the adjusted decision timeout value.

In the disclosed embodiment, a plurality of devices are included within a distributed device networking. In order to facilitate determination of a decision timeout value at which the first device ultimately makes a decision for the wake-up message, a second decision timeout value is obtained in the event that the first decision timeout value is determined. The first decision timeout value is the waiting time of the first device for responding to the wake-up message in the first performance state, and the second decision timeout value is the waiting time of the second device for responding to the wake-up message in the second performance state. The second device is a different device than the first device within the distributed device network. In one example, the first performance state may be a current performance state of the first device and the second performance state may be a current performance state of the second device. The first performance state and the second performance state may be the same or different, and are not limited in this disclosure. In another example, the first decision timeout value and the second decision timeout value may be obtained simultaneously or may be obtained separately. In one implementation scenario, taking the first decision timeout value and the second decision timeout value as separate acquisitions as an example. The first device and the second device may enter the distributed device network at the same time, or enter the distributed network in batches. After the first device enters the distributed networking, determining a first decision timeout value corresponding to the first device in a first performance state, and further obtaining a second decision timeout value corresponding to the second device in a second performance state.

Through the embodiment, when determining the decision timeout value of the response of the wake-up message of the current device, the decision timeout value of the current device and the decision timeout values of other devices in the distributed networking can be comprehensively considered, so that self-adaptive adjustment is performed, and the decision timeout value of the current device can be separated from the decision timeout values of the other devices when the wake-up message is finally responded based on the adjusted decision timeout value, thereby being beneficial to reducing the probability of waking up a plurality of devices at the same time and improving the use experience of users.

In an example, the performance states may include one or more of the following performance states: the state of audio playback, the state of wireless transmission switching, and the state of operation of the device central processing unit (central processing unit, CPU). Wherein, the wireless transmission switch state may include: wi-Fi switch state, bluetooth switch state, or near field communication (Near Field Communication, NFC) switch state. For example: taking the audio playing state and the bluetooth switch state as examples, the first performance state may include: bluetooth is turned on while audio is being played, audio is not being played but Bluetooth is turned on, bluetooth is not being turned on while audio is being played, audio is not being played, and Bluetooth is not being turned on.

In one embodiment, when determining the first decision timeout value, the determination may be based on a correspondence between a performance state of the device and the decision timeout value. The corresponding relation between the performance state of the equipment and the decision timeout value is established in advance, and then the decision timeout value corresponding to the equipment is determined according to the performance state of the equipment, so that each equipment in the distributed equipment networking can be determined in a unified determination mode when the corresponding decision timeout value is determined, and further the influence of human interference or equipment resource occupation is eliminated. I.e. different decision timeout values are set for different device performance states. The performance states of the same devices are different, as are the corresponding decision timeout values. Further, when determining the first decision timeout value, a first correspondence corresponding to the first device is determined according to the correspondence between the performance state of the first device and the decision timeout value, and then the first decision timeout value corresponding to the current performance state is determined according to the first correspondence and the current performance state of the first device. The current performance state is the first performance state.

In an example, when determining the correspondence between the performance states and the decision timeout values, the different performance states may be classified into a plurality of levels according to the influence of the different performance states on the terminal, and then the decision timeout values corresponding to the performance states may be determined according to the different levels. In another example, the correspondence between performance states and decision timeout values may be determined empirically or through multiple experimentation by a developer.

In another embodiment, the second decision timeout value may be transmitted based on the second device after the change in performance state. The second device refers to a device with a changed performance state in the distributed device networking. And after the performance state of the second equipment is changed, determining a decision timeout value corresponding to the changed performance state of the second equipment according to the corresponding relation between the performance state of the second equipment and the decision timeout value. That is, a second decision timeout value corresponding to a second performance state of the second device is determined based on a correspondence between the performance state of the second device and the decision timeout value.

After the second device determines the second decision timeout value corresponding to the performance state after the performance state is changed, the second decision timeout value is autonomously sent to the first device, so that the first device obtains the second decision timeout value after the second device is changed, the first decision timeout value corresponding to the first device can be dynamically adjusted, the accuracy of the adjusted decision timeout value is further improved, and the applicability and expansibility of the distributed device networking implementation of the device response control method are improved.

In yet another embodiment, the second device may transmit the second decision timeout value by waking up the data packet. After the second decision timeout value is determined, the second decision timeout value is sent through the wake-up data packet, so that the second decision timeout value carried in the wake-up data packet can be obtained when the first equipment and the second equipment interact through the wake-up data packet. The first device obtains a second decision timeout value sent by the second device by parsing the wake-up packet. In one example, the wake-up Packet may include a Magic Packet (Magic Packet). Wherein the phantom data packet is a broadcast frame, and data transmission can be performed based on connectionless transmission protocol.

In yet another embodiment, the second decision timeout value may be transmitted through a server in the distributed device networking. And the server determines a second decision timeout value with the largest decision timeout value in at least one decision timeout value sent by the equipment with the performance state change, and sends the second decision timeout value to each equipment in the distributed equipment networking, so that the first equipment obtains the second decision timeout value. In one example, if the server only receives a decision timeout value sent by a device with a performance state change, the device is a second device, and the decision timeout value sent by the device is the second decision timeout value. In another example, if the server receives the decision timeout values sent by the plurality of devices with performance state changes, the largest decision timeout value is determined as the second decision timeout value, and the device sending the decision timeout value is determined as the second device.

In yet another embodiment, when the first device adjusts the first decision timeout value, a final first decision timeout value for the first device may be determined based on a magnitude relationship between the first decision timeout value and the second decision timeout value.

If the first decision timeout value is greater than the second decision timeout value, the decision time of the second device for deciding whether to answer the wake-up message is longer than the first decision timeout value, and then the first device can decide whether to answer itself after the second device decides to finish when determining whether to answer itself, so that the condition of answering at the same time is avoided. Thus, the first decision timeout value may be kept unchanged.

If the first decision timeout value is equal to the second decision timeout value, the decision time for characterizing whether the second device replies to the wake-up message is the same as the decision time for deciding whether the first decision timeout value replies to the wake-up message, so that the first decision timeout value can be kept unchanged.

If the first decision timeout value is smaller than the second decision timeout value, the decision time of the second device for deciding whether to answer the wake-up message is later than the first decision timeout value, so that the first decision timeout value can be adjusted to be the second decision timeout value, and the first decision timeout value can be adjusted adaptively so as to avoid the condition of simultaneous answer.

Based on the same inventive concept, the present disclosure also provides another device response control method.

Fig. 2 is a flowchart illustrating another device response control method according to an exemplary embodiment. As shown in fig. 2, the device response control method is applied to the second device, and includes the following steps.

In step S21, in response to the performance state of the second device changing to the second performance state, a second decision timeout value corresponding to the second performance state is determined.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, after the performance state of the second device changes, a second decision timeout value corresponding to the second device in the second performance state is determined according to the changed second performance state. Wherein the second performance state may be one or more of the following performance states: the state of audio playback, the state of wireless transmission switching, and the state of operation of the device central processing unit (central processing unit, CPU).

In step S22, a second decision timeout value is sent to the first device or server.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, in order to avoid the situation that each device in the distributed device networking responds simultaneously, the second device sends the second decision timeout value corresponding to the changed second performance state to the first device or the server, so that other devices in the distributed device networking can be clear, and the devices with changed performance states in the current distributed device networking can be further subjected to targeted adjustment according to the acquired second decision timeout value, so that the flexibility of adjusting the decision timeout value is improved, the probability of waking up a plurality of devices simultaneously can be reduced, and the accuracy of adjusting the decision timeout value is improved under the condition that the use experience of a user is not affected. The first device is other devices different from the second device in the distributed device networking.

Through the embodiment, when the second device with the changed performance state exists in the distributed device networking, the second device can determine a second decision timeout value corresponding to the second device in the second performance state according to the changed second performance state, and actively inform other devices or servers different from the second device in the distributed device networking of the determined second decision timeout value, so that the other devices can pertinently adjust the self decision timeout value according to the received second decision timeout value, and the flexibility of adjusting the decision timeout value is improved.

In one embodiment, when determining the second decision timeout value, the determination may be based on a correspondence between a performance state of the device and the decision timeout value. And determining a corresponding relation between the performance state of the second device and the decision timeout value according to the corresponding relation between the performance state of the device and the decision timeout value, determining a second corresponding relation corresponding to the second device, and further determining a second decision timeout value corresponding to the current performance state according to the second corresponding relation and the current performance state of the second device.

Fig. 3 is a flowchart illustrating yet another device reply control method according to an example embodiment. As shown in fig. 3, the device response control method includes the following steps.

In step S31, in response to the performance state of the second device changing to the second performance state, a second decision timeout value corresponding to the second performance state is determined.

In step S32, a second decision timeout value is sent to the first device or server.

In step S33, a third decision timeout value is received.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the third decision timeout value is a decision timeout value sent by a device other than the second device within the distributed device networking. For example: the decision timeout value may be a corresponding decision timeout value after the performance state of the first device changes, or may be a decision timeout value determined and sent after the performance state of other devices different from the first device and the second device in the distributed device network.

In step S34, the second decision timeout value is adjusted based on the second decision timeout value and the third decision timeout value, and the wake-up message is responded based on the adjusted decision timeout value.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, when the second device adjusts the second decision timeout value corresponding to the second performance state of the second device, the second device adjusts based on the second decision timeout value and the received third decision timeout value, and then replies the wake-up message according to the adjusted decision timeout value.

In an embodiment, when the second device adjusts the second decision timeout value, a final second decision timeout value for the second device may be determined based on a magnitude relationship between the second decision timeout value and the third decision timeout value.

If the second decision timeout value is greater than the third decision timeout value, the decision time for representing whether other equipment makes a decision to answer the wake-up message is earlier than the second decision timeout value, and then when the second equipment determines whether the second equipment needs to answer, the second equipment can make a decision whether the second equipment makes an answer after the decision of the other equipment is completed, so that the condition of simultaneous answer is avoided. Thus, the second decision timeout value may be kept unchanged.

If the second decision timeout value is equal to the third decision timeout value, the decision time for indicating whether other devices answer the wake-up message or not is the same as the decision time for indicating whether the second decision timeout value decides to answer the wake-up message or not, so that the second decision timeout value can be kept unchanged.

If the second decision timeout value is smaller than the third decision timeout value, the decision time of the other devices in deciding whether to answer the wake-up message is later than the second decision timeout value, so that the second decision timeout value can be adjusted to be the third decision timeout value, and the first decision timeout value can be adaptively adjusted to avoid the condition of simultaneous answer.

In the disclosure, when a wake-up event occurs, each device in the distributed device network may decide whether to answer according to the wake-up information, and inform other devices whether to answer through the wake-up data packet.

In an implementation scenario, in the distributed device networking, the process of determining the decision timeout value for the reply to the wake-up message by each device may be as shown in fig. 4. FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram illustrating a device interaction according to an example embodiment. For ease of description, the interaction process of three devices is illustrated as an example. The three devices are a first device, a second device and a third device respectively.

And after the first device is awakened, respectively sending an awakening data packet to the second device and the third device so as to inform the second device and the third device of the corresponding first decision timeout value of the first device in the first performance state.

The first device decides whether to answer according to the received wake-up data packet sent by the second device or the third device, and then adjusts the first decision timeout value so as to reduce the probability that all devices in the distributed device networking are simultaneously woken up. The wake-up data packet sent by the second device carries a second decision timeout value, and the wake-up data packet sent by the third device carries a third decision timeout value.

In another implementation scenario, if the first device does not receive the new decision timeout value within the designated time after receiving the wake-up packet sent by the second device or the third device, then it decides whether to answer or not based on the first decision timeout value and the second decision timeout value, and further adjusts the first decision timeout value. Or deciding whether to answer or not based on the first decision timeout value and the third decision timeout value, thereby adjusting the first decision timeout value.

The technical means adopted by the second device and the third device for adjusting the respective corresponding decision timeout values are the same as those adopted by the first device for adjusting the first decision timeout value, and will not be described in detail here.

By the device response control method, different decision timeout values can be configured for different states of different devices according to the performance state difference of the devices, so that the device response control method can be flexibly adjusted when responding to the wake-up message, and the probability that multiple devices are simultaneously awakened can be reduced while user experience is not reduced.

Based on the same inventive concept, the present disclosure also provides a further device response control method.

Fig. 5 is a flowchart illustrating yet another device response control method according to an exemplary embodiment. As shown in fig. 5, the device response control method is applied to a server, and includes the following steps.

In step S41, one or more decision timeout values transmitted by devices whose performance state changes within the distributed device network are received.

In step S42, a maximum decision timeout value is determined among the one or more decision timeout values.

In step S43, the maximum decision timeout values are sent to the devices included in the distributed device network, respectively.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the server determines the maximum decision timeout value, which is helpful for reducing the calculation amount of each device in adjusting the corresponding decision timeout value, and further is beneficial for reducing the calculation cost of the device.

In an embodiment, in response to a new decision timeout value not being received within a specified time, a maximum decision timeout value is determined among the one or more received decision timeout values, thereby facilitating a reasonable adjustment when each device adjusts its respective decision timeout value, and thus facilitating a reduction in the probability that multiple devices will wake up simultaneously.

In an implementation scenario, in a distributed device networking, each device may determine a decision timeout value for a reply to a wake-up message by a maximum decision timeout value sent by a server. The determination process may be as shown in fig. 6, fig. 6 being a schematic diagram of a device interaction, according to an example embodiment. For ease of description, the interaction process of three devices and a server will be described as an example. The three devices are a first device, a second device and a third device respectively.

And after the performance state of the first equipment is changed, reporting a first decision timeout value corresponding to the changed performance state to the server.
