As can be appreciated by those skilled in the art, with the evolution of device control scenarios and the emergence of new service scenarios, the technical solution provided in the present application is also applicable to similar technical problems.

Based on the above-described implementation scenarios, detailed descriptions will be given below.

In order to avoid that the terminal device occupies a high-power-consumption data transmission mode due to too low throughput of data transmission, the data transmission requirement is not matched with the transmission mode, and unnecessary power consumption is generated in the device endurance. Therefore, the equipment control method can effectively control the power consumption of the equipment, reduce the unnecessary power consumption in the endurance of the equipment and further improve the endurance time of the equipment.

In the embodiments of the present application, description will be made from the perspective of a device control apparatus, which may be specifically integrated in a computer device such as a terminal or a server. Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a schematic step flow diagram of an apparatus control method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, where for example, an apparatus control device is specifically integrated on a terminal, the terminal is a terminal capable of switching a data transmission mode, and when a processor on the terminal executes a program corresponding to the apparatus control method, the specific flow is as follows:

step 101, acquiring the amount of network resources occupied by local equipment when transmitting data.

The local device refers to a computer device, such as a terminal integrated with a device control apparatus, which is an execution subject described in the embodiments of the present application. For clarity of description of the embodiments of the present application, the execution subject of the present application will be referred to as "local device".

The data transmission refers to a data transmission scenario performed by the local device to implement the interaction requirement of the related service data, and the data transmission scenario may include a scenario of sending data and a scenario of receiving data of the local device. For example, the data transmission scenario may be: the method includes the steps that a scene of sending and receiving data of the local device when a voice call is carried out, and data are sent and received when an application (such as a video application, an audio application, an instant chat application, an information sharing application and the like) on the local device runs.

The network resource may be a communication resource for implementing a data transmission scenario of the local device, and the network resource may be a network resource allocated by the communication base station or the cell to meet a data transmission requirement of the local device. Specifically, the network resource may include an uplink first network spectrum resource, an allocation frequency of the first network spectrum resource, a modulation coding order, a downlink second network spectrum resource, a signal strength, a signal-to-noise ratio, and the like.

The network resource amount may be a resource amount occupied by the local device when transmitting data, and the network resource amount may be determined by the communication base station/cell, and in order to meet a data transmission requirement of the local device, the communication base station/cell allocates a certain amount of network resources according to the requirement of the local device when transmitting data, so as to support the local device to perform data transmission, specifically, data transmission with the communication base station/cell may be performed. The network resource quantity may be an uplink first network spectrum resource quantity, a downlink second network spectrum resource quantity, a network spectrum resource allocation frequency (scheduling rate), a modulation coding order, a signal strength value, a signal-to-noise ratio value, and the like.

In order to determine the data throughput, that is, the data transmission amount, of the local device during data transmission, the embodiment of the application may determine the real-time data throughput of the local device according to the network resource amount by acquiring/identifying the network resource amount occupied by the local device during data transmission.

In some embodiments, the network resource amount may include a network resource number and a resource allocation frequency, and the step "acquiring the amount of network resources occupied by the local device when transmitting data" may include: the number of network resources occupied by the local equipment during data transmission and the resource distribution frequency are obtained, and the number of the network resources is determined according to the number of the network resources and the resource distribution frequency.

For example, when the local device is in a scene of sending data, taking the uplink first network spectrum resource as a network resource as an example, the amount of the network resource occupied by the local device when transmitting data is obtained, which is actually the amount of the resource occupied by the local device when sending data. Specifically, the acquiring process is as follows: acquiring the number of uplink first network spectrum resources occupied by local equipment when transmitting data, namely the number of spectrum resources allocated by a communication base station/cell to satisfy the requirement of uploading or transmitting data by the local equipment, such as 1800 plus 2100MHz or other spectrum numbers; acquiring a scheduling rate corresponding to the first network spectrum resource number, namely the resource allocation frequency of the communication base station when allocating a specific spectrum resource number; further, the number of the first network spectrum resources and the resource allocation frequency (scheduling rate) are determined as the number of the network resources.

For another example, when the local device is in a scene of Receiving data, the network resource amount may include a downlink second network spectrum resource amount, a Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS), a Signal strength (Reference Signal Receiving Power, RSRP), a Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR), and the network resource amount occupied by the local device when transmitting data is actually obtained. Specifically, the acquiring process is as follows: and acquiring resource quantity values such as a modulation coding order, a downlink second network spectrum resource number, a signal intensity (value), a signal-to-noise ratio (value) and the like when the local equipment receives data, and determining the resource quantity values as the network resource quantity.

It should be noted that, when the amount of network resources occupied by the local device during data transmission is obtained, the communication base station/cell connected to the local device may be requested in real time to issue currently occupied network resources and network resource data, and the network resources and network resource data may be issued in a log, a message, or other manners. In addition, when data is transmitted, the occupied quantity of the network resources can be detected through the local equipment so as to determine the occupied quantity of the network resources.

In the embodiment of the application, the local device has different corresponding data throughputs in different data transmission scenarios. Specifically, the local device is an application with a high data throughput requirement, such as a video application, a game application, and the like, which has a large data transmission requirement and a real-time data transmission requirement, and needs to occupy a large amount of network resources when performing data transmission; therefore, for such applications, the local device needs to support data transmission in a high power consumption transmission mode, such as data transmission by transceiving with multiple antennas. In addition, in order to control the power consumption of the device and reduce unnecessary power consumption of the device, the amount of network resources occupied by the local device when the local device runs the application can be determined by monitoring the application with high data throughput requirement, and then, the data transmission mode with low power consumption is selected to transmit data when the amount of the network resources is low.

In some embodiments, in order to monitor a part of an application program with a data high throughput requirement, an embodiment of the present application may pre-establish a preset application list, where the preset application list may include one or more target applications, and each target application may be an application with a data high throughput requirement; furthermore, the application in the running process of the local device can be identified to determine whether the target application with the data high-throughput requirement in the preset application list is contained. Specifically, before the step of acquiring the amount of network resources occupied by the local device when transmitting data, the method may include: detecting whether a local running process contains a target application in a preset application list or not to obtain a detection result; and if the detection result is that the target application is contained, acquiring the quantity of network resources occupied by the local equipment when the data is transmitted.

Through the method, the number of the network resources occupied by the local equipment when the local equipment transmits data can be acquired/identified, so that the real-time data throughput of the local equipment is determined according to the number of the network resources, and whether the data transmission mode of the local equipment needs to be adjusted or not is determined subsequently.

Step 102, if it is detected that the number of the network resources is smaller than a preset resource number threshold, identifying a data transmission mode of the local device.

The preset resource quantity threshold may be a data threshold corresponding to the relevant network resource, and is used to determine the quantity of the corresponding network resource; and comparing the number of the network resources occupied by the local equipment during data transmission with the preset resource number threshold value to determine the number of the network resources occupied by the local equipment during data transmission. For example, taking the number of the first network spectrum resources in the uplink as an example, the corresponding preset resource number threshold may be a network spectrum resource number threshold; taking the scheduling rate as an example, the corresponding preset resource quantity threshold may be an allocation frequency threshold corresponding to the number of the related spectrum resources; for the number of other network resources, the corresponding preset resource number threshold may also be a modulation coding order threshold, a downlink network spectrum resource number threshold, a signal strength threshold, a signal-to-noise ratio threshold, and the like.

The data transmission mode may be a mode of the local device during data transmission, and the power consumption corresponding to different data transmission modes is different, specifically, the power consumption consumed at the same time is different. It should be noted that the data transmission mode is determined by an antenna transceiving mode adopted by the local device when transmitting data, and different numbers of antennas correspond to different data transmission modes. Specifically, the antenna included in the local device may be as follows: two transmitting antennas (2T) and four receiving antennas (4R), the data transmission mode of the local device may include: two-in-one reception (1T2R, i.e., 1 transmit antenna, 2 receive antennas), four-in-one reception (1T4R, i.e., 1 transmit antenna, 4 receive antennas), two-in-two reception (2T2R), four-in-two reception (2T4R, i.e., 2 transmit antennas, 4 receive antennas), with multiple data transmission modes.

In the embodiment of the application, after the number of network resources occupied by the local device during data transmission is obtained, the number of network resources is compared with the corresponding preset resource number threshold value, so that a comparison result is obtained. It should be noted that the current data throughput of the local device may be determined according to the comparison result.

For example, comparing the number of uplink first network spectrum resources with a preset first network spectrum resource number threshold, comparing the scheduling rate (the allocation frequency of the number of network spectrum resources) with a preset scheduling rate threshold, comparing the signal strength value with a preset signal strength value, comparing the signal-to-noise ratio with a preset signal-to-noise ratio threshold, and the like; so as to obtain a corresponding comparison result, and thus, the current data throughput or decoding success rate of the local device is determined according to the comparison result. And then, according to the comparison result, determining whether to identify the data transmission mode of the local equipment.

Specifically, the current data throughput of the local device is determined according to the comparison result, and the basis is as follows: when the number of uplink first network spectrum resources (UL Grant) is greater than or equal to the preset threshold of the number of first network spectrum resources, and the scheduling rate is greater than or equal to the preset threshold of the scheduling rate, it indicates that the uplink throughput demand is high at this time, and it may be necessary to open two transmitting antennas for data transmission. When the downlink second network spectrum Resource number (Resource Block, RB) is greater than or equal to a preset second network spectrum Resource number threshold and/or the modulation coding order is greater than or equal to a preset modulation coding order threshold, it indicates that the downlink throughput is higher at this time, and four receiving antennas (4R) are started to receive data, so as to improve the downlink throughput.

In addition, the current decoding success rate of the local equipment is determined according to the comparison result, and the basis is as follows: when the Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) is smaller than a preset signal strength threshold and/or the signal to noise ratio (SINR) is smaller than a preset signal to noise ratio threshold, it is shown that the downlink channel condition is poor at this time, four receiving antennas (4R) need to be started to bring diversity gain, and the decoding success rate is improved.

Further, after determining the data throughput or the decoding success rate of the local device during the current data transmission, the current data mode of the local device is identified to determine whether the current data transmission mode matches the confirmed data throughput or decoding success rate requirement, so as to adjust the transmission mode of the local device subsequently. For example, if the local device does not currently belong to the preset low power consumption data transmission mode (e.g., 1T4R, 2T2R, 2T4R, etc.), that is, when the local device turns on 2T and/or 4R for data transmission, the obtained number of network resources is compared with a preset threshold for the number of network resources, so as to determine the data throughput and/or the decoding success rate during data transmission according to the comparison result, and further identify the data transmission mode of the local device, so as to determine whether the current data transmission mode (turning on 2T and/or 4R) of the local device needs to be switched to the preset low power consumption transmission mode (1T 2R).

In some embodiments, the step of "identifying a data transmission mode of the local device" may include:

(1) identifying a first number of transmitting antennas used by the local device when transmitting data, and obtaining a second number of receiving antennas used by the local device when transmitting data;

(2) and determining the data transmission mode of the local equipment according to the first quantity and the second quantity.

The transmitting antenna may be an antenna for transmitting data in a data transmission scenario, i.e., "T". The receive antenna is an antenna used to receive data in a data transmission scenario, i.e., "R".

Specifically, the data transmission mode is determined by an antenna transceiving mode adopted by the local device when transmitting data, and different antenna numbers correspond to different data transmission modes. In the embodiment of the present application, the data transmission mode of the local device may include: multiple data transmission modes such as one-transmission two-reception (1T2R), one-transmission four-reception (1T4R), two-transmission two-reception (2T2R), two-transmission four-reception (2T4R) and the like.

In some embodiments, the step of "determining a data transmission mode of the local device according to the first number and the second number" may include:

(2.1) comparing the first number with a preset transmitting antenna number threshold value to obtain a first comparison result;

(2.2) comparing the second number with a preset receiving antenna number threshold to obtain a second comparison result;

and (2.3) determining the data transmission mode of the local equipment based on the first comparison result and the second comparison result.

The preset threshold of the number of transmitting antennas and the preset threshold of the number of receiving antennas can be determined according to actual conditions. In this embodiment of the present application, in order to determine whether the data transmission mode of the local device is in the preset low power consumption transmission mode, a preset threshold for the number of transmitting antennas and a preset threshold for the number of receiving antennas may be set for the low power consumption mode, for example, in the default preset low power consumption transmission mode in the embodiment of the present application, the data transmission mode is 1T2R, specifically, 1 transmitting antenna is started, and 2 receiving antennas are started, then the preset threshold for the number of transmitting antennas is 1, and the preset threshold for the number of receiving antennas is 2.

It should be noted that, the data transmission mode in the embodiment of the present application may specifically include: one-to-two (1T2R), one-to-four (1T4R), two-to-two (2T2R), and two-to-four (2T 4R). For convenience of description, the data transmission modes may be divided according to a low power consumption mode and a non-low power consumption mode, where a first-and-second-transmission mode (1T2R) is defaulted to be a preset low power consumption transmission mode, and a first-and-fourth-transmission mode (1T4R), a second-and-second-transmission mode (2T2R), and a second-and-fourth-transmission mode (2T4R) are defaulted to be a non-preset low power consumption transmission mode.

For example, to identify whether the current data transmission mode of the local device is the preset low power consumption transmission mode, after identifying the first number of transmitting antennas and the second number of receiving antennas used by the local device when transmitting data, the first number may be compared with a preset threshold number of transmitting antennas, and the second number may be compared with a preset threshold number of receiving antennas, to determine whether the first number of transmitting antennas is greater than 1, and determine whether the second number of receiving antennas is greater than 2. When the first number of the transmitting antennas is greater than 1 and/or the second number of the receiving antennas is greater than 2, determining that the data transmission mode of the local device does not belong to a preset low-power-consumption transmission mode, namely the data transmission mode is not the preset low-power-consumption transmission mode; when the first number of the transmitting antennas is equal to 1 and the second number of the receiving antennas is equal to 2, that is, 1T2R, it is determined that the data transmission mode of the local device belongs to the preset low power consumption transmission mode.

Through the method, the data transmission mode of the local device can be identified, so that whether the local device is switched to the preset low-power-consumption transmission mode or not can be determined subsequently.

Step 103, if the data transmission mode does not belong to the preset low power consumption transmission mode, switching the data transmission mode to the preset low power consumption transmission mode.

The preset low-power-consumption transmission mode may be a low-power-consumption data transmission mode in which the local device operates with the fewest number of antennas used for data transmission, for example, an antenna mode of the preset low-power-consumption transmission mode is set to 1T2R by default in the embodiment of the present application, that is, 1 transmitting antenna and 2 receiving antennas are used; when the number of antennas used by the local device in transmitting data is other, specifically 1T4R, 2T2R, 2T4R, it is determined that the local device does not belong to the preset low-power-consumption transmission mode.

In order to perform data transmission in a preset low power consumption transmission mode when the data throughput of a local device is low. In the embodiment of the application, when the local device is judged to be in a low throughput capacity in a data transmission scenario, a current data transmission mode of the local device is identified, and if the antenna mode adopted by the local device is identified to be 1T4R, 2T2R or 2T4R, it is determined that the current data transmission mode of the local device does not belong to a preset low-power-consumption transmission mode; further, when the data transmission mode does not belong to the preset low power consumption transmission mode, the data transmission mode of the local device is switched to the preset low power consumption transmission mode, specifically, the antenna mode may be switched to 1T 2R. Therefore, when the data throughput of the local equipment is detected to be low, the data transmission is carried out in the preset low-power-consumption transmission mode, the power consumption of the equipment is effectively controlled, unnecessary power consumption in the endurance of the equipment is reduced, and the endurance time of the equipment is prolonged.

In the embodiment of the application, after the network resource quantity of the local device during data transmission is obtained, the network resource quantity is compared with a preset resource quantity threshold value to obtain a comparison result, so as to determine whether to switch the data transmission mode according to the comparison result. Specifically, after the network resource quantity is compared with a preset resource quantity threshold, when it is determined that the current data throughput of the local device is high according to the comparison result, the antenna working mode during data transmission needs to be switched to a multi-antenna mode.

In some embodiments, comparing the number of network resources with a preset threshold number of resources further comprises: if the number of the network resources is detected to be larger than or equal to the preset resource number threshold value, identifying a data transmission mode of the local equipment; when the data transmission mode is the preset low-power-consumption transmission mode, determining a target transmission mode of the local equipment during data transmission according to the number of network resources, and switching the data transmission mode to the target transmission mode.

The target transmission mode is a non-preset low power consumption transmission mode, and may specifically be 1T4R, 2T2R, or 2T4R, and the like, and it should be noted that when the target transmission mode is selected, the target transmission mode may be determined according to a specific data throughput. For example, when data is transmitted, when (uplink) data throughput is low when data is transmitted and (downlink) data throughput is high when data is received, the selected target transmission mode is 1T 4R; when the (uplink) data throughput is high when data is transmitted and the (downlink) data throughput is low when data is received, the selected target transmission mode is 2T 2R; when the (uplink) data throughput is high when data is transmitted and the (downlink) data throughput is high when data is received, the selected target transmission mode is 2T 4R. The above is an example, and the specific situation is determined according to the actual situation. Through the mode, the network resource quantity is compared with the corresponding preset resource quantity threshold, when the data throughput of the local equipment is determined to be high according to the comparison result and the local equipment is in the preset low-power-consumption transmission mode, the appropriate target transmission mode is determined according to the data throughput, and the data transmission mode is switched to the target transmission mode, so that the data transmission mode of the local equipment is properly controlled, the power consumption of the equipment is effectively controlled, and unnecessary power consumption in the continuous voyage of the equipment is reduced.

Further, after the step of switching the data transmission mode to the target transmission mode, the method further includes: acquiring the quantity of target network resources of local equipment in a target transmission mode; and if the number of the target network resources is less than the preset resource number threshold value, switching the target transmission mode to a preset low-power-consumption output transmission mode.

Specifically, after the switching to the appropriate target transmission mode is performed, because the current target transmission mode does not belong to the preset low power consumption transmission mode, the amount of network resources occupied by the local device when transmitting data may be monitored in real time, and when the amount of the target network resources is smaller than the preset resource amount threshold, it is determined that the data throughput of the local device at this time is low, at this time, the target transmission mode may be switched to the preset low power consumption transmission mode, for example, the antenna operating mode (1T4R, 2T2R, or 2T4R) is switched to 1T2R, so that the local device is in the preset low power consumption transmission mode.

Therefore, the method and the device can acquire the number of network resources occupied by the local device when the local device transmits data; if the number of the network resources is detected to be smaller than a preset resource number threshold value, identifying a data transmission mode of the local equipment; and if the data transmission mode does not belong to the preset low-power-consumption transmission mode, switching the data transmission mode to the preset low-power-consumption transmission mode. The method can identify the number of network resources occupied by the terminal equipment in data transmission in real time, and compares the identified number of the network resources with a preset resource number threshold value to determine the throughput of the terminal equipment in data transmission; therefore, the actual data throughput of the equipment is determined according to the network resource amount of the equipment during data transmission in real time, and when the data throughput is low, the data transmission mode of the equipment is switched to the low power consumption mode, so that the power consumption of the equipment is effectively controlled, unnecessary power consumption during the endurance of the equipment is reduced, and the endurance time of the equipment is prolonged.

The method described in the above examples is further illustrated in detail below by way of example.

In the embodiments of the present application, the description will be made from the perspective of a device control apparatus, which may be specifically integrated in a computer device such as a terminal or a server.

Specifically, for example, when a processor integrated in a terminal executes a program corresponding to the device control method, a specific flow of the device control method is as follows:

201. and detecting whether the local running process contains the target application in the preset application list to obtain a detection result.

In the embodiment of the application, the local device has different corresponding data throughputs in different data transmission scenarios. For example, when the local device is an application with a high data throughput requirement, such as a video application, a game application, and the like, which has a large data transmission requirement and a real-time data transmission requirement, it needs to occupy a large amount of network resources when performing data transmission; therefore, for such applications, the local device needs to support data transmission in a high power consumption transmission mode, such as data transmission by transceiving with multiple antennas.

According to the embodiment of the application, a low-power transmission mode is preset to default to a conventional data transmission mode of the local device. In order to control the power consumption of the device and reduce unnecessary power consumption of the device, the number of network resources occupied by the local device when the local device runs the application can be determined by monitoring the application with high data throughput requirement, and then, the data transmission mode with low power consumption is selected to transmit data when the number of the network resources is low.

In order to monitor part of application programs with high data throughput requirements, in the embodiment of the application, a preset application list may be established in advance, where the preset application list may include one or more target applications, and each target application may be an application with high data throughput requirements; furthermore, the application in the running process of the local device can be identified to determine whether the target application with the data high-throughput requirement in the preset application list is contained. In this way, it is determined whether the local device is running a target application with a high data throughput requirement, so as to subsequently monitor the amount of network resources of the target application, thereby determining whether a data transmission mode needs to be switched.

202. And if the detection result is that the target application is contained, acquiring the quantity of network resources occupied by the local equipment when the data is transmitted.

The network resource may be a communication resource for implementing a data transmission scenario of the local device, and the network resource may be a network resource allocated by the communication base station or the cell to meet a data transmission requirement of the local device.

The network resource amount may be a resource amount occupied by the local device when transmitting data, and the network resource amount may be determined by the communication base station/cell, and in order to meet a data transmission requirement of the local device, the communication base station/cell allocates a certain amount of network resources according to the requirement of the local device when transmitting data, so as to support the local device to perform data transmission, specifically, data transmission with the communication base station/cell may be performed. Specifically, the number of network resources may be the number of uplink first network spectrum resources, the number of downlink second network spectrum resources, the allocation frequency (scheduling rate) of network spectrum resources, a modulation coding order, a signal strength value, a signal-to-noise ratio, and the like.

203. And comparing the network resource quantity with a preset resource quantity threshold value to obtain a comparison result.

The preset resource quantity threshold may be a data threshold corresponding to the relevant network resource, and is used to determine the quantity of the corresponding network resource; and comparing the number of the network resources occupied by the local equipment during data transmission with the preset resource number threshold value to determine the number of the network resources occupied by the local equipment during data transmission. For example, taking the number of the first network spectrum resources in the uplink as an example, the corresponding preset resource number threshold may be a network spectrum resource number threshold; taking the scheduling rate as an example, the corresponding preset resource quantity threshold may be an allocation frequency threshold corresponding to the number of the related spectrum resources; for the number of other network resources, the corresponding preset resource number threshold may also be a modulation coding order threshold, a downlink network spectrum resource number threshold, and the like.

Specifically, when the comparison result is that the number of the network resources is greater than or equal to the preset resource number threshold, it is determined that the data throughput of the local device during data transmission is relatively high, and since the default preset low-power transmission mode of the local device does not meet the current data throughput, the data transmission mode of the local device needs to be adjusted, and therefore, step 204 and step 207 need to be executed.

In addition, when the comparison result shows that the number of the network resources is smaller than the preset resource number threshold, it is determined that the data throughput of the local device is smaller when the local device transmits data, and the local device can perform data transmission in a preset low-power-consumption transmission mode. Therefore, the data transmission mode of the local device may be determined first to determine whether a handover is required, and the

steps

208 and 210 are executed specifically.

204. And if the comparison result is that the number of the network resources is greater than or equal to the preset resource number threshold, identifying the data transmission mode of the local equipment.

The data transmission mode may be a mode of the local device during data transmission, and the power consumption corresponding to different data transmission modes is different, specifically, the power consumption consumed at the same time is different. It should be noted that the data transmission mode is determined by an antenna transceiving mode adopted by the local device when transmitting data, and different numbers of antennas correspond to different data transmission modes.

For example, the data transmission mode of the local device may include: two-in-one (1T2R, i.e., 1 transmit antenna, 2 receive antennas), four-in-one (1T4R, i.e., 1 transmit antenna, 4 receive antennas), two-in-one (2T2R), and four-in-one (2T4R, i.e., 2 transmit antennas, 4 receive antennas). The transmission mode with low power consumption is default to a one-transmission two-reception mode (1T2R), and the transmission mode with low power consumption is default to a non-default transmission mode with low power consumption for one-transmission four-reception (1T4R), two-transmission two-reception (2T2R) and two-transmission four-reception (2T 4R).

205. And when the data transmission mode is the preset low-power-consumption transmission mode, determining a target transmission mode of the local equipment during data transmission according to the quantity of the network resources, and switching the data transmission mode to the target transmission mode.

The target transmission mode is a non-preset low power consumption transmission mode, and may specifically be 1T4R, 2T2R, or 2T4R, and the like, and it should be noted that when the target transmission mode is selected, the target transmission mode may be determined according to a specific data throughput.

For example, when data is transmitted, when (uplink) data throughput is low when data is transmitted and (downlink) data throughput is high when data is received, the selected target transmission mode is 1T 4R; when the (uplink) data throughput is high when data is transmitted and the (downlink) data throughput is low when data is received, the selected target transmission mode is 2T 2R; when the (uplink) data throughput is high when data is transmitted and the (downlink) data throughput is high when data is received, the selected target transmission mode is 2T 4R. The above is an example, and the specific situation is determined according to the actual situation.

206. And acquiring the quantity of target network resources of the local equipment in a target transmission mode.

After the data transmission mode is switched to the proper target transmission mode, because the current target transmission mode does not belong to the preset low-power-consumption transmission mode, the amount of network resources occupied by the local equipment during data transmission can be monitored in real time, and whether the data transmission mode needs to be switched subsequently or not is determined.

207. And if the number of the target network resources is less than the preset resource number threshold value, switching the target transmission mode to a preset low-power-consumption output transmission mode.

Specifically, when the number of target network resources is smaller than the preset resource number threshold, it is determined that the data throughput of the local device at this time is low, and at this time, the target transmission mode may be switched to the preset low power consumption transmission mode, for example, the antenna operation mode (1T4R, 2T2R, or 2T4R) is switched to 1T2R, so that the local device is in the preset low power consumption transmission mode.

208. If the comparison result is that the number of the network resources is smaller than the preset resource number threshold, identifying a first number of transmitting antennas used by the local device when the local device transmits data, and acquiring a second number of receiving antennas used by the local device when the local device transmits data.

209. And determining the data transmission mode of the local equipment according to the first quantity and the second quantity.

210. And if the data transmission mode does not belong to the preset low-power-consumption transmission mode, switching the data transmission mode to the preset low-power-consumption transmission mode.

By executing step 201 and step 210, the scenario of the device control method shown in fig. 4 can be implemented, where the scenario shown in fig. 4 is specifically as follows:

(1) setting the optimized starting time and life cycle, and not taking effect in a default state.

(2) An application white list (a preset application list) is set, applications needing low time delay or high throughput are added into the white list, multi-antenna receiving can be started aiming at the white list applications, and the applications such as video applications and game applications can be used in mobile phone applications.

(3) For uplink, a scheduling rate and a UL Grant threshold are set, when the uplink scheduling rate and the UL Grant reach the threshold, it indicates that the uplink throughput demand is high at this time, 2T transmission is started, the terminal needs to continuously monitor whether the scheduling rate after 2T is started and the UL Grant is reduced, and if T1 is continuously reduced in a period, the terminal needs to back to 1T.

The UL Grant refers to the number of uplink first network spectrum resources, such as network spectrum resources allocated to the terminal by the communication base station/cell for uplink transmission.

The scheduling rate refers to the allocation frequency of the network spectrum resource, for example, the number of times that the network allocates the resource to the terminal in the LTE subframe is indicated.

(4) For downlink, two situations can be included, specifically as follows:

firstly, setting an MCS/RB threshold, and when the MCS/RB threshold is higher than the threshold, the downlink throughput is higher, and the downlink throughput can be improved by starting 4R. Wherein, the MCS is a Modulation and Coding Scheme (Modulation and Coding Scheme). The RB refers to the number of downlink network spectrum resources (Resource Block), and the base station transmits downlink data to the terminal.

And secondly, setting RSRP and SINR thresholds, and when the RSRP and the SINR thresholds are lower than the thresholds, indicating that the condition of a downlink channel is poor at the moment, requiring 4R to bring diversity gain, and improving the decoding success rate. Here, RSRP refers to Reference Signal Receiving Power (Reference Signal Receiving Power), i.e., Signal strength. The SINR refers to a Signal-to-Interference plus Noise Ratio (Signal-to-Interference plus Noise Ratio), i.e., a Signal-to-Noise Ratio.

(5) Setting a back-off period, when starting 2T or 4R, needing to set a monitoring period T2, and in the monitoring period, when finding that the throughput after starting does not rise to a threshold value, the terminal needs to return to a default 1T2R state; if the state is raised, the 2T or 4R state is kept.

By combining the above scenarios (1) - (5) with the step 201-210, the number of the transceiving antennas can be reasonably selected from the 1T2R, 1T4R and 2T4R supported by the 5G SA network terminal, thereby effectively reducing the power consumption of the terminal device.

In order to better implement the method, the embodiment of the application also provides a device control device, and the device control device can be integrated in computer equipment such as a terminal.

For example, as shown in fig. 5, which is a schematic structural diagram of an apparatus control device provided in the embodiment of the present application, the apparatus control device may include an obtaining unit 301, an identifying unit 302, and a switching unit 303, specifically as follows:

and the switching unit is used for switching the data transmission mode to the preset low-power-consumption transmission mode if the data transmission mode does not belong to the preset low-power-consumption transmission mode.

In some embodiments, the device control apparatus further comprises a detection unit for:

In some embodiments, the identifying unit 302 is further configured to:

comparing the first quantity with a preset transmitting antenna quantity threshold value to obtain a first comparison result; comparing the second number with a preset receiving antenna number threshold value to obtain a second comparison result; and determining the data transmission mode of the local equipment based on the first comparison result and the second comparison result.

In some embodiments, the identifying unit 302 is further configured to:

if the number of the network resources is detected to be larger than or equal to the preset resource number threshold value, identifying a data transmission mode of the local equipment;

the switching unit 303 is further configured to determine, when the data transmission mode is the preset low power consumption transmission mode, a target transmission mode of the local device when transmitting data according to the number of network resources, and switch the data transmission mode to the target transmission mode.

In some embodiments, the obtaining unit 301 is further configured to:

acquiring the quantity of target network resources of local equipment in a target transmission mode;

the switching unit 303 is further configured to switch the target transmission mode to a preset low-power output transmission mode if the number of the target network resources is smaller than the preset resource number threshold.

In a specific implementation, the above units may be implemented as independent entities, or may be combined arbitrarily to be implemented as the same or several entities, and the specific implementation of the above units may refer to the foregoing method embodiments, which are not described herein again.

Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, the amount of network resources occupied by the local device when transmitting data can be acquired by the acquisition unit 301; if the number of the network resources is detected to be smaller than the preset resource number threshold value through the identification unit 302, identifying a data transmission mode of the local device; if the data transmission mode does not belong to the predetermined low power consumption transmission mode, the switching unit 303 switches the data transmission mode to the predetermined low power consumption transmission mode. The method can identify the number of network resources occupied by the terminal equipment in data transmission in real time, and compares the identified number of the network resources with a preset resource number threshold value to determine the throughput of the terminal equipment in data transmission; therefore, the actual data throughput of the equipment is determined according to the network resource amount of the equipment during data transmission in real time, and when the data throughput is low, the data transmission mode of the equipment is switched to the low power consumption mode, so that the power consumption of the equipment is effectively controlled, unnecessary power consumption during the endurance of the equipment is reduced, and the endurance time of the equipment is prolonged.
