Detailed Description
In order to explain technical contents, structural features, implementation principles, and objects and effects of the present application in detail, the following detailed description is given with reference to the accompanying drawings in combination with the embodiments.
Referring to fig. 1, the present application discloses a firmware control method, which includes:
101. it is determined whether the application software is started.
In the application, the manner of determining whether the application software is started may be to determine whether the user actively triggers the application software, for example, the user manually clicks to start the application software. The method for determining whether the application software is started may also be to determine whether the system starts the application software autonomously, for example, when the system receives an incoming call or notification information, the application software is started actively. Of course, the manner for determining whether the application software is started may be other specific forms, and is not limited herein.
In some embodiments, the determining whether the application software is started comprises:
and determining whether the application software is started according to the user operation.
Generally speaking, the application software is started through user operation, so that whether the application software is started or not can be determined by determining whether the application software is started according to the user operation or not so as to accurately and timely determine whether the application software is started or not, and when the system recognizes the user operation to start the application software, the application software is determined to be started.
Further, the determining whether the application software is started according to the user operation includes:
it is determined whether to enter an interface of the application software.
Generally, after a user starts application software, the application software opens a corresponding interface, so that the interface entering the application software can be used as a mark for starting the application software.
When a user starts application software (such as APP application software of music, movies and the like), the system enters an interface of the corresponding application software, and the system identifies the interface entering the application software to determine the starting of the application software.
Of course, the specific acquiring manner of "determining whether the application software is started according to the user operation" is not limited to the above manner, and for example, the specific acquiring manner may also be tactile feedback information of the user clicking the operation screen, or the manner thereof, which is not limited herein.
In some embodiments, the determining whether the application software is started comprises:
receiving an execution request of application software;
and determining whether the application software is started according to the execution request of the application software.
Generally, the application software may not only be started by a user operation, but in some cases, the system may start the application software by itself, the system controls the application software according to a received execution request of the application software, for example, some incoming calls and notification information send an execution request to the system, and after receiving the execution request, the system correspondingly controls the start of the application software to provide the incoming calls and notification information to the user, so that the user can obtain corresponding information in time. Therefore, whether the application software is started or not can be determined according to the received execution request of the application software, and the firmware can be loaded in time.
102. And loading the firmware corresponding to the application software under the condition of determining the application software to be started.
Specifically, each application software is executed without departing from the corresponding firmware, and the firmware is used for providing support for the execution of the corresponding application software so as to guarantee the normal execution of the application software. If the audio type application software corresponds to Codec firmware, the Codec firmware is used for providing configuration of audio functions for the audio type application software so as to ensure that the audio type application software can smoothly output and input audio. Similarly, the bluetooth application software and the NFC application software correspond to firmware that can provide bluetooth and NFC configuration support, respectively. Of course, other types of application software are also possible, and are not limited herein.
103. And acquiring the execution state of the application software.
For example, application software having an audio playback function may be in a playback state (in execution state) or a stop state.
104. And correspondingly controlling the running state of the firmware according to the execution state of the application software.
Due to the fact that the execution states of the application software are various, the running state of the firmware is correspondingly controlled according to the execution states of the application software, the firmware can be well utilized, and unnecessary energy consumption is reduced.
In some embodiments, the execution state of the application software includes: an execution in state and a stop state;
when the application software is in an executing state, the firmware is in a power-on state;
when the application software is in a stop state, the firmware is in a non-power-on state.
The running state of the firmware is correspondingly controlled according to the execution state of the application software, so that the firmware can be switched to a working mode corresponding to the execution state of the application software at present, the firmware can be well utilized, the firmware is ensured to be in a power-on state when the application software is in the execution state, the application software can work normally, the firmware can be switched to a non-power-on state when the application software is in the stop state, and unnecessary energy consumption is reduced.
Further, when the application software is in a stop state, the firmware is controlled to be in a low power consumption state or a power-down state according to the time when the application software is in the stop state.
By setting the firmware to be in the low power consumption state or the power-off state, when the time when the application software is in the stop state is short, the firmware is controlled to be switched to the low power consumption state, so that the firmware can be quickly switched to the power-on state when the application software is subsequently switched to the execution state, smooth operation of the application software is maintained, the firmware does not need to be switched to the power-on state from the power-off state again, and delay is reduced. And when the time when the application software is in the stop state exceeds the preset time, the control firmware is switched to the power-off state, so that unnecessary energy consumption can be reduced.
For example, it is assumed that the manner of determining whether the application software is started is to determine whether to enter information (triggered by a user) of an interface of the application software, where the application software is an audio-type application software, and the type of application software corresponds to Codec firmware used for providing configuration of audio functions for the audio-type application software. When the user is recognized to start the application software (entering an interface of the application software), the start of the application software is determined, and the Codec firmware is loaded so as to be in a power-on state. And then acquiring the execution state of the application software, and correspondingly controlling the running state of the Codec firmware according to the execution state of the application software. If the application software is in an executing state (the user has performed a playing operation), the Codec firmware is kept or switched to a power-up state for outputting and inputting audio, if the application software is in a stopping state (the user has performed a stopping operation), the Codec firmware is firstly switched from the power-up state to a low power consumption state to stop the audio, and if the application software is in the stopping state for a longer time, the Codec firmware is switched from the low power consumption state to the power-down state. In addition, when the user operates the interface of the application software to exit (for example, returning to the main interface of the system, and the process of the application software is still kept in the background of the system), according to the execution state of the application software when the interface of the application software exits, the Codec firmware keeps the original running state corresponding to the execution state of the application software. It should be noted that the above description is only for illustrative purposes and is not intended to be limiting.
In some embodiments, the above method further comprises:
acquiring information that firmware loading is successful;
and controlling the interface opening of the application software and/or the vibration of the vibration motor according to the information of successful firmware loading.
In some cases, the system may start the application software by itself, and the system controls the application software according to a received execution request of the application software, for example, some reminders, notifications, incoming call signals, and the like, by sending the execution request to the system, after receiving the execution request, the system determines the start of the application software, starts loading the firmware, and after obtaining information that the firmware is loaded successfully, controls the interface of the application software to be opened and/or the vibration of the vibration motor to be vibrated, so as to facilitate the opening of the interface of the application software, the vibration of the vibration motor, and the output (for example, audio playing) of the information of the application software to be performed synchronously.
For example, it is assumed that the application software is an audio type or an application software (e.g., a communication app) with an audio playing function, and the application software executes the audio playing function and is loaded by depending on Codec firmware. Firstly, the starting of the application software is confirmed according to an execution request of the application software (such as an execution request from an incoming call signal), then the Codec firmware is loaded to enable the Codec firmware to enter a power-on state, and when information that the Codec firmware is loaded successfully is acquired, an interface of the application software is opened and vibration of a vibration motor is controlled to ensure that UI display, motor vibration and audio playing are synchronous. And then acquiring the execution state of the application software, and correspondingly controlling the running state of the Codec firmware according to the execution state of the application software. If the application software is in the executing state (user call in), the Codec firmware keeps the power-on state for outputting and inputting audio, and if the application software is in the stopping state (user call stop), the Codec firmware is firstly switched from the power-on state to the low power consumption state. And if the time that the application software is in the stop state exceeds the preset time length, switching the Codec firmware from the low power consumption state to the power-down state. Of course, the power-down state can also be switched directly from the power-up state. It should be noted that the above description is only for illustrative purposes and is not intended to be limiting.
The method comprises the steps of firstly determining whether application software is started, loading firmware corresponding to the application software under the condition that the application software is determined to be started, then obtaining the execution state of the application software, and correspondingly controlling the running state of the firmware according to the execution state of the application software. The method and the device can pre-load the firmware corresponding to the application software under the condition of determining the starting of the application software and before the application software enters the execution state, and correspondingly control the running state of the firmware by combining the current execution state of the application software, thereby not only being beneficial to reducing the delay of the application software entering the execution state, but also being beneficial to reducing the energy consumption of the application software.
