In the description of the embodiments herein, "/" means "or" unless otherwise specified, for example, a/B may mean a or B; "and/or" herein is merely an association relationship describing an associated object, and means that there may be three relationships, for example, a and/or B, and may mean: a exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone.

In the following, the terms "first", "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and are not to be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of the embodiments of the present application, "a plurality" means two or more unless otherwise specified.

In the embodiments of the present application, words such as "exemplary" or "for example" are used to mean serving as an example, instance, or illustration. Any embodiment or design described herein as "exemplary" or "e.g.," is not necessarily to be construed as preferred or advantageous over other embodiments or designs. Rather, use of the word "exemplary" or "such as" is intended to present concepts related in a concrete fashion.

Currently, most electronic devices have an AOD function, that is, when the electronic device is in a screen-off state, a partial area in a screen of the electronic device may be kept in a long-bright state to display preset information. The preset information includes, but is not limited to, time, date, notification message, remaining battery amount, and the like. The area displaying the preset information may be any area of the electronic device, for example, an area on the upper side, the lower side, the left side, or the right side of the electronic device, and is not limited herein. For example, an upper area in a screen of the electronic device may always maintain a long bright state to display preset information. Or, after the electronic device detects the face information in the screen-off state, a partial area in the screen of the electronic device may be lit up to display the preset information.

FIG. 1 illustrates a user interface for a screen-off display of an electronic device. In the user interface shown in fig. 1, a dark color region is an unlit region in the display screen, and a white color region is a lit region in the display screen. It can be seen that the electronic device can display information such as pictures, time, dates and the like in a partial area of the display screen in the screen-off state. Therefore, when the electronic equipment is in the screen locking state, the user can check information such as time, date and the like without frequently unlocking the electronic equipment. Obviously, the AOD function of an electronic device requires that a portion of the sensor (e.g., an image sensor) of the electronic device maintain the AO state. For example, an image sensor of the electronic device is in an AO state, and when the image sensor detects face information of a user, preset information is displayed in a screen of the electronic device, thereby causing a problem that power consumption of the electronic device is large.

In a possible scenario, in order to save power consumption of the electronic device, the existing software architecture of the electronic device only supports event trigger related AO functions in a bright screen state. For example, the AO function of the camera, that is, the electronic device can realize the functions of watching the screen without turning off the screen, watching the incoming call to reduce the volume, and the like in the on-screen state. That is, when the electronic device is in the screen-off state, the AO function of the electronic device is not available.

For example, as shown in fig. 2, in order to realize that the electronic device is in a screen-off state, the electronic device may realize that the AO function is extended, in the screen-off state, the low-power-consumption core needs to take over control of the camera through an integrated circuit (I2C) interface bus, and an image acquired by the camera may be output to the low-power-consumption core through a Mobile Industry Processor Interface (MIPI) bus to perform a low-power-consumption operation. Among them, the low power consumption core is a processing unit different from an Application Processor (AP) core in a processor of the electronic device.

For example, it is assumed that a camera sensor of the electronic device operates in a motion detection mode, in which the camera sensor detects ambient brightness change or target motion, and feeds back the ambient brightness change or the target motion to the low-power-consumption core through an interrupt signal, and the low-power-consumption core operates a task transferred by the AP high-power-consumption core, so as to achieve the purpose of reducing power consumption of the electronic device.

Supposing that a camera sensor of the electronic device operates in an Ultra Low Power (ULP) mode, in this mode, the camera sensor can combine large resolutions into a small resolution for processing, after receiving an image with a small resolution, a low power core performs face detection (not limited to a face) on the image with a small resolution, and when the electronic device detects the face in the image with a small resolution, the electronic device recalls and starts upper layer functions such as AOD. Therefore, based on the ULP mode of the camera sensor, the power consumption of the electronic equipment is reduced.

In another possible scenario, it is assumed that it is inconvenient for the user to hold the electronic device, for example, when the user is cooking, working, reading, driving, etc. If the user wants to acquire the time information, the user can watch the electronic device, at this time, the electronic device detects the face information of the user, and a partial area in the screen of the electronic device can display the time information. In order to save power consumption, a partial area in the screen of the electronic device may display the time information for a preset time period (e.g., 5 seconds, 10 seconds, etc.), and then stop displaying the time information. Obviously, the AOD function of the electronic device can be normally triggered, and the camera of the electronic device is required to keep the AO function in the long-open state, so that the electronic device can display the preset information after the camera acquires the face information of the user. For example, a camera of the electronic device is in an AO function long-open state, and when the image sensor detects face information of the user, preset information is displayed in a screen of the electronic device. Obviously, the problem of large power consumption of the electronic device is caused by the fact that the AO function of the camera of the electronic device is kept long.

However, the transfer capability of a part of interfaces of a software architecture of the existing electronic device is limited, and a low-power scheme cannot be designed, for example, a part of interfaces of a software architecture of the existing electronic device only supports transmission of information corresponding to 3 events, namely, face detection event subscription, face detection event unsubscription, and event reporting. In order to solve the problem that the power consumption is high when the AO function is opened for a long time in the electronic equipment, the electronic equipment can determine whether to open the AO function according to the customization information, so that the purpose of controlling the opening/closing of the AO function in a customization mode is achieved. If interface transmission customization information is added in a native Hardware Interface Definition Language (HIDL), the HIDL interface compatibility cannot be achieved, and all installation packages depending on the native HIDL service need to be recompiled, which causes the problem of increasing extra workload. Therefore, when the electronic device adopts the existing software architecture to transmit the customized information, the problem of large workload exists.

In order to solve the problem that the power consumption of the electronic device is large due to long-term opening of the AO function of the electronic device in the related art, embodiments of the present application provide a control method of the electronic device, which obtains customized information through an intelligent decision module of the electronic device to control the opening/closing of the AO function of the electronic device according to the customized information, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing the power consumption of the electronic device.

For example, the software architecture provided in the embodiment of the present application may be applied to an electronic device having a display screen, such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a Personal Computer (PC), a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), a smart watch, a netbook, a wearable electronic device, an Augmented Reality (AR) device, a Virtual Reality (VR) device, an in-vehicle device, a smart car, and a smart audio device, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit the electronic device.

The Application (APP) may include a system application. The system application refers to an application that is set in the electronic device before the electronic device is shipped from the factory. Exemplary system applications may include programs for settings, electronic device stewards, cameras, galleries, calendars, music, short messages, and conversations. The application package may also include a third party application, which refers to an application that the user installs after downloading the installation package from an application store (or application marketplace). For example, a game-like application (e.g.,

etc.) map-like applications (e.g., in a mobile communication device

Etc.), take-away applications (e.g., beauty)

Etc.), reading-like applications (e.g., reading-like applications

) Social applications (e.g., for social applications)

) And travel-like applications (e.g., for travel-like applications)

) And the like.

The Java Native Interface (JNI) provides several Application Program Interfaces (APIs) to implement communication between Java and other languages.

Native HIDL is an interface description language for APP to interface with low power consumption.

The low power processor interface may be configured to connect to the low power core for data transmission between the AP core and the low power core.

The intelligent decision module is used for controlling the on/off of an AO module of the electronic equipment according to the acquired customized information. The customized information includes, but is not limited to, ambient light information, proximity light information, distance sensor information, attitude sensor information, screen state information (e.g., AOD on state, off state, or on state), and sleep state information (e.g., sleep state or awake state) of the electronic device. The customized information may also include other information, such as gravity sensor information, and the like, without limitation.

In this embodiment of the application, the intelligent decision module may obtain the customization information from the low power consumption processor interface of the AP core, and may also obtain the customization information from the low power consumption core, which is not limited herein.

The technical solutions involved in the following embodiments can be implemented in the electronic device 200 having the above-described hardware structure and software structure.

In an embodiment of the present application, the intelligent decision module may determine whether to control the on/off of the AO module of the electronic device based on the received at least one piece of customization information. For example, assume that the intelligent decision module controls the on/off of the AO function of the camera based on the received at least one piece of customized information. And if the intelligent decision module only acquires the sleep state information of the electronic equipment. In this case, the intelligent decision module may control the on/off of the AO function of the camera according to the sleep state information of the electronic device. And if the intelligent decision module acquires the ambient light information, the distance sensor information and the attitude sensor information of the electronic equipment. In this case, the intelligent decision module may control the on/off of the AO function of the camera jointly based on the ambient light information, the distance sensor information, and the attitude sensor information of the electronic device.

In some embodiments, the AO function of the camera being long-open may refer to a hardware device (e.g., an image sensor) in the camera APP that supports the long-open function being in a long-open state. The AO function of the camera is not limited to the fact that the electronic equipment detects a face event according to an image collected by the camera in the screen-off state when being in the long-open state, and the electronic equipment can also detect information such as human eyes and two-dimensional codes in the screen-off state. For example, the upper-layer APP registers or cancels a face detection event by calling the long-open service module. After the camera drive of the low-power-consumption core detects a face detection event, the face detection event is reported to the upper APP through a callback function, and corresponding processing is triggered. For example, the electronic device triggers a display screen of the electronic device to display an AOD function (e.g., display time information).

In the embodiment of the application, when the camera APP is started, the camera service module issues a command for recovering hardware resources to the low-power core. Then, the AP core performs operations such as camera power-up, loading, and the like. When the camera APP is closed, the camera service module issues a command for releasing the hardware resources to the low-power-consumption core. At the moment, the intelligent decision module determines whether to control the camera to drive to immediately open the AO function of the camera or delay the AO function of the camera until the condition is met according to the customized information. Therefore, compared with the existing electronic equipment which can only control the AO function of the camera to keep a long-on or long-off state, the intelligent decision module controls the on/off of the AO function of the camera according to the customized information, the purpose of customizing the electronic equipment is achieved, and the power consumption of the electronic equipment is reduced.

An exemplary description of the intelligent decision module controlling the AO module to turn on/off based on the at least one customization information is provided below in connection with FIG. 5. Fig. 5 is a flowchart illustrating a method for controlling the on/off of the AO module according to at least one customized message according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 5, the control method may include the steps of:

step 501, the electronic device detects that a user starts a screen-off display function.

In some embodiments, a setting interface of the electronic device may include a control for turning on the off-screen display function, and after the electronic device detects a touch operation of a user on the control for turning on the off-screen display function, the electronic device turns on the off-screen display function in response to the touch operation. For example, fig. 6 (a) shows a default user interface provided by the setup application after the electronic device opens the setup application. The user interface may include: flight mode, WLAN, bluetooth, mobile network, desktop, wallpaper, etc. The electronic device may detect a touch operation by a user on different function options in the user interface, and in response to the operation, the electronic device may turn on or off flight mode, WLAN, bluetooth, mobile network, desktop, wallpaper, and so on. The user interface comprises a desktop and wallpaper option which can be used for setting a desktop theme, a desktop display icon, wallpaper and the like of the electronic equipment.

As shown in fig. 6 (a), the electronic device may detect a user operation acting on the "desktop and wallpaper" option, in response to which the electronic device displays a user interface as shown in fig. 6 (B), which is an interface to set the desktop, lock screen, and extinguish screen of the electronic device. When the electronic apparatus detects a user operation on the "off screen display" option, the electronic apparatus displays a setting interface of the off screen display function as shown in (C) in fig. 6 in response to the operation. The electronic device can set the display time, the display picture, and the display style of the off-screen display function according to the operation of the user.

In other embodiments, the electronic device may further turn on the screen-off display function according to the received voice control operation of the user. For example, when the user inputs "turn on the off-screen display function" by voice, the electronic device turns on the off-screen display function in response to a voice control instruction received from the user.

It should be explained that the electronic device turns on the screen-off display function according to the received touch operation or the voice control instruction, which is only used as an exemplary description and is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

Step 502, the intelligent decision module obtains screen state information.

In this embodiment of the application, the intelligent decision module may acquire the screen state information of the electronic device from the AP core, and may also acquire the screen state information of the electronic device from the low-power-consumption core, which is not limited herein.

For example, the AP core of the electronic device may transmit the screen state information of the electronic device to the intelligent decision module of the low-power-consumption core through the low-power-consumption processor interface, and the intelligent decision module acquires the screen state information of the electronic device.

Step 503, the intelligent decision module judges whether the screen is in a screen-off state according to the screen state information.

In the embodiment of the application, after the intelligent decision module acquires the screen state information of the electronic device, whether the display screen of the electronic device is in the screen-off state or not can be judged according to the screen state information.

For example, assuming that the screen state information of the electronic device acquired by the intelligent decision module is that all Liquid Crystal Displays (LCDs) are 1 (that is, all LCDs are in a lighting state), the intelligent decision module may determine that the display screen of the electronic device is in a bright screen state. Assuming that the screen state information of the electronic device acquired by the intelligent decision module is that all LCDs are 0 (that is, all LCDs are in a turned-off state), the intelligent decision module may determine that the display screen of the electronic device is in a turned-off state. Assuming that the screen state information of the electronic device acquired by the intelligent decision module is that the LCD part is 0 and the LCD part is 1 (that is, the LCD part is in a lit state and the LCD part is in a extinguished state), the intelligent decision module may determine that the display screen of the electronic device is in an AOD state.

If the intelligent decision module determines that the screen of the electronic device is in the screen-off state in step 503, step 504 is executed, otherwise, step 505 is executed.

Step 504, it is determined that the electronic device does not start the long-open module.

In the embodiment of the application, after the intelligent decision module determines that the electronic device is in the screen-off state, the intelligent decision module determines that the electronic device does not start an AO module of the electronic device. I.e. the AO-module in the electronic device is in a closed state.

For example, the face detection function of the electronic device is implemented based on the long-term opening of the AO function of the camera, and if the AO module of the electronic device is in the closed state, the electronic device cannot call the AO function of the camera through the AO module to implement the face detection function.

And 505, determining that the electronic equipment opens the long open module.

In the embodiment of the application, after the intelligent decision module determines that the electronic device is in the bright screen state, the electronic device starts the long-open module. For example, a camera of the electronic device that supports the AO function is in the AO state.

In step 506, the intelligent decision module determines to turn off the long open module.

In the embodiment of the application, when the intelligent decision module determines that the electronic device is in a bright screen state, if the intelligent decision module determines that the electronic device opens the AO module, the intelligent decision module determines to close the AO function of the electronic device.

For example, when the electronic device is in a bright screen state, the intelligent decision module determines that the electronic device starts the AO function of the camera, and the user can acquire preset information from the display screen of the electronic device at any time, so that the electronic device does not need to start the AO function of the camera to perform face detection. In this case, the intelligent decision module determines to close the AO module to close the AO function of the camera, or the electronic device may directly send an instruction to close the AO function to the camera to close the AO function of the camera, thereby saving power consumption of the electronic device.

In step 507, the intelligent decision module obtains at least one piece of customized information, and determines that the at least one piece of customized information meets a corresponding preset condition.

In this embodiment of the application, when the intelligent decision module determines that the electronic device is in a screen-off state and the electronic device does not start the AO module, the intelligent decision module may determine whether the acquired at least one piece of customized information meets a preset condition to determine whether to start the AO module. For example, the intelligent decision module may determine whether to start the AO function of the camera according to whether the acquired at least one piece of customized information satisfies a preset condition.

In some embodiments, after the intelligent decision module obtains the distance sensor information, the attitude sensor information, the ambient light information, or the proximity light information of the electronic device, the intelligent decision module may respectively determine whether the distance sensor information, the attitude sensor information, the ambient light information, or the proximity light information satisfies a preset condition.

In one possible scenario, after the intelligent decision module acquires the distance sensor information and the attitude sensor information of the electronic device, the intelligent decision module may determine that the attitude of the electronic device is upward (i.e., the screen of the electronic device is upward) according to the distance sensor information and the attitude sensor information. Under the condition, an image sensor of the electronic equipment can acquire a clear face image, and the intelligent decision module can determine to start the AO function of the camera according to the information of the distance sensor and the information of the attitude sensor. When the intelligent decision-making module determines that the electronic equipment is in a downward posture according to the information of the distance sensor and the information of the posture sensor, the image sensor of the electronic equipment can not acquire clear face images, and the intelligent decision-making module can determine not to start the AO function of the camera according to the information of the distance sensor and the information of the posture sensor, so that the purpose of reducing power consumption is achieved.

In another possible scenario, after the intelligent decision module acquires the ambient light information of the electronic device, the intelligent decision module determines that the ambient light information is greater than a first threshold. The first threshold value is the minimum value of the ambient light information of the image which can be clearly collected by the image sensor of the electronic device. In this case, the image sensor of the electronic device may acquire a clear image at the ambient brightness, and the intelligent decision module may determine to start the AO function of the camera according to the ambient light information. When the intelligent decision module determines that the ambient light information is less than or equal to the first threshold, for example, a camera of the electronic device is shielded or the ambient brightness of the electronic device is insufficient. Under the condition, the image sensor of the electronic equipment cannot acquire clear images, and the intelligent decision module can determine not to start the AO function of the camera according to the ambient light information, so that the purpose of reducing the power consumption of the electronic equipment is achieved.

In another possible scenario, after the intelligent decision module acquires the proximity light information where the electronic device is located, the intelligent decision module determines that the proximity light information is greater than the second threshold. The second threshold is a minimum value at which a proximity light sensor of the electronic device determines proximity light information of a user holding the electronic device. Such as a scenario where a user is holding an electronic device. In this case, the image sensor of the electronic device can acquire a clear image in the scene, and the intelligent decision module can determine to start the AO function of the camera according to the proximity light information. When the intelligent decision module determines that the access light information is less than or equal to a second threshold, for example, a scene where the electronic device is placed in a user's bag or pocket. Under the condition, the image sensor of the electronic equipment cannot acquire clear images, and the intelligent decision module can determine not to start the AO function of the camera according to the approaching light information, so that the purpose of reducing the power consumption of the electronic equipment is achieved.

In another possible scenario, it is assumed that the intelligent decision module acquires distance sensor information, attitude sensor information, ambient light information, and proximity light information of the electronic device. When the intelligent decision module determines that the attitude of the electronic equipment is upward according to the distance sensor information and the attitude sensor information, determines that the ambient light information is greater than a first threshold value, and determines that the approach light information is greater than a second threshold value, the intelligent decision module determines to start the AO function of the camera. When the intelligent decision module determines that at least one of the posture of the electronic device, the ambient light information or the proximity light information does not meet the preset condition, the intelligent decision module determines not to start the AO function of the camera. For example, the intelligent decision module determines that the acquired ambient light information is smaller than a first threshold, that is, the ambient brightness of the electronic device is insufficient. Under the condition, if the intelligent decision module determines to start the face detection function, an image sensor of the electronic equipment cannot acquire clear face images, and face detection cannot be accurately performed. Thus, the intelligent decision module determines not to activate the AO function of the camera.

It should be explained that, the distance sensor information, the attitude sensor information, the ambient light information, or the proximity light information of the electronic device may be obtained by the intelligent decision module from the AP core, or may be obtained from the low-power-consumption core, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application. The intelligent decision module determines whether to start the face detection function according to whether the posture of the electronic device, the ambient light information or the proximity light information satisfies a preset condition, which is only an exemplary description. The intelligent decision module may also determine whether to start the AO function of the camera according to other customized information (e.g., sleep state information of the electronic device, etc.), which is not limited in this embodiment of the application.

If the intelligent decision module determines that at least one piece of customized information meets the preset condition in step 507, execute step 508, otherwise execute step 509.

Step 508, the intelligent decision module determines to start the long-open module.

In the embodiment of the application, when the intelligent decision module determines that the screen of the electronic device is in a screen-off state and the electronic device does not start the AO module, if the intelligent decision module determines that at least one piece of customized information meets the preset condition, the intelligent decision module determines to start the AO module.

For example, when the intelligent decision module determines whether to start the AO function of the camera according to the at least one piece of customized information, if the intelligent decision module determines that the posture of the electronic device, the ambient light information, and the proximity light information all satisfy the preset conditions, the intelligent decision module determines to start the AO function of the camera. In this case, the image sensor of the electronic device may collect image information in real time, for example, the electronic device may determine whether a human face is recognized according to the image information collected by the image sensor, and if the electronic device determines that the image information includes the human face information, the electronic device may display preset information in a preset area of the display screen.

In some embodiments, after the intelligent decision module determines to start the AO function of the camera, the electronic device may remind the user that the electronic device has started the AO function of the camera on a display interface (e.g., a notification management interface). Under the condition, when the user inconveniently holds the electronic equipment to watch time, if the electronic equipment detects the face of the user, the electronic equipment can start the AOD function so as to display time information in a preset area. For example, as shown in fig. 7, the mobile phone may display a prompt message "prompt: the long open function of the camera has been activated ".

In step 509, the intelligent decision module determines not to start the long-open module.

In the embodiment of the application, when the intelligent decision module determines that the screen of the electronic device is in a screen-off state and the electronic device does not start the long-open module, if the intelligent decision module determines that at least one of the customized information does not meet the preset condition, the intelligent decision module determines not to start the long-open module.

For example, assuming that the intelligent decision module determines whether to start the AO function of the camera according to the at least one piece of customized information, and when the intelligent decision module determines that the screen of the electronic device is in the screen-off state and the electronic device does not start the AO function of the camera, if the intelligent decision module determines that at least one of the posture of the electronic device, the ambient light information, or the proximity light information does not satisfy the preset condition, the intelligent decision module determines not to start the AO function of the camera. Namely, the intelligent decision module determines not to start the AO function of the camera supporting the AO function. Therefore, the purpose of reducing the power consumption of the electronic equipment is achieved.

In some embodiments, when it is assumed that the electronic device is in a screen-off state, after the intelligent decision module acquires the customized information, the intelligent decision module determines to turn on a switch of an AO function of the camera according to the customized information. If the electronic device detects the face information of the user, the electronic device may start the AOD function to display time information in a preset area. As shown in fig. 8, the electronic device is still used as the mobile phone for example, the left diagram in fig. 8 is that the mobile phone is in a screen-off state, after the mobile phone starts the AO function, the face information of the user is detected, and the display screen of the mobile phone may display the time information, as shown in the right diagram in fig. 8.

In some embodiments, a setting interface of the electronic device is provided with an on/off control of an AO module of the electronic device, and the electronic device can control the on/off of the AO module according to a received control instruction after receiving the control instruction of a user. For example, as shown in fig. 9, it is assumed that the electronic device is a mobile phone, and if the mobile phone detects that the user switches the AO module from the off state to the on state, the mobile phone starts the AO function in response to the operation of the user. As in fig. 9 (a) to 9 (B), the AO module of the camera is switched from the off state to the on state. After the mobile phone starts the AO module, the mobile phone can also respond to the customized information used for controlling the on/off of the AO module by the operation of a user. As shown in fig. 9, if the mobile phone detects that the user starts the ambient light information and the proximity light information on the setting interface of the AO module, the low power consumption core of the mobile phone may control the AO module to be turned on/off according to the ambient light information and the proximity light information. As shown in fig. 9 (C) to 9 (D), the low-power core of the mobile phone may control the AO module to switch from the on state to the off state according to the ambient light information and the proximity light information.

In a possible case of the embodiment of the present application, when the intelligent decision module obtains the customization information from the processor interface of the AP core, the AP core may transmit the customization information through the native interface, or the AP core may transmit the customization information through an interface added to the HIDL. When the AP core transmits the customized information at the HIDL add custom interface, the AP core needs to recompile all installation packages that depend on the native HIDL service.

Fig. 10 is a schematic diagram of a software structure of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present application. The foregoing technical solution can also be implemented in an electronic device having a software structure shown in fig. 10, as shown in fig. 10, a software architecture of the electronic device includes an application (e.g., a camera APP or a long-open APP), a Java local interface, a long-open HIDL, a long-open service module, HIDL, a camera service module, a low-power processor interface, a camera driver 1, and a camera driver 2. The AP core and the low power core are each different processing units of a processor of the electronic device. The system comprises an application program, a Java local interface, a long-open HIDL (hardware in the software design), a long-open service module, an HIDL (hardware in the software design), a camera service module, a low-power processor interface and a camera driver 1, wherein the application program, the Java local interface, the long-open HIDL, the long-open service module, the HIDL, the camera service module, the low-power processor interface and the camera driver 1 are executed on an AP (access point) core; the camera driver 2 is executed in the low power consumption core. An operating system and user interface of the electronic device are also executed on the AP core.

The long open HIDL is an interface description language for long open APP with low power interface.

The long-open service module is used for transmitting the information of the long-open APP to the low-power-consumption core through the low-power-consumption processor interface after the information of the long-open APP is acquired from the native HIDL.

HIDL is an interface description language for specifying the interface between a hardware abstraction layer and its user, which allows specified types and function calls to be collected into interfaces and packages.

The camera service module is used for sending information acquired from the camera APP to the low-power-consumption core interface.

Both the camera driver 1 and the camera driver 2 can control on/off of the camera supporting the long open function.

As can be seen from fig. 10, there are two control lines in the electronic device software architecture, where the left control line is a registration service and reporting service channel, and the right control line is a control line triggered by the camera APP. When the AO function of the electronic device is running, the camera APP triggers an event (for example, the electronic device triggers a photographing event), the camera APP issues the event to the camera service module, and the camera service module sends a mutual exclusion control command to the low-power-consumption core through the low-power-consumption processor interface. And after receiving the mutual exclusion control command, the low-power-consumption core releases the camera resources (such as hardware resources and software resources) occupied by the low-power-consumption core. The electronic device stops the low power consumption function of the left control line in response to the mutex control command. The camera APP may be controlled by the camera driver 1 of the AP core, and may also be controlled by the camera driver 2 of the low power consumption core, which is not limited herein.

After the event triggered by the camera APP is ended, the camera service module sends an instruction to the low-power-consumption core through the low-power-consumption processor interface so as to inform the low-power-consumption core camera APP that the resource of the camera APP occupied by the low-power-consumption core camera APP is released. In this case, if the AP core registers the face detection service, the electronic device sends the service to the low-power core through the low-power processor interface. When the camera APP triggers an event (for example, a face image event is acquired), the low-power core reports the event to the AP core, so that the electronic device displays the AOD function in a preset area of the display screen.

The HIDL interface and the low-power-consumption processor interface in the software structure of the existing electronic equipment only support the transmission of information corresponding to native services, and some customized information cannot be transmitted from the AP core to the low-power-consumption core. In the embodiment of the application, a customized interface is added to a software architecture of the electronic device, and all installation packages depending on the HIDL service are compiled at the same time. For example, when the camera APP starts normally, the camera service module issues a command to recycle the hardware resource to the low power core. And then the AP performs normal operations such as power-on, loading and the like on the camera. When the camera APP is closed, the camera service module issues a command for releasing hardware resources to the low-power-consumption core. After the camera APP subscribes to the customization information, the camera APP transmits the customization information to the camera HIDL through the JNI. The camera HIDL sends the customization information to the low-power-consumption processor interface through the camera service module, and the low-power-consumption processor interface transmits the corresponding customization information to the low-power-consumption core from the AP core through the customization interface. After the intelligent decision module of the low-power-consumption core receives the customization information, if the intelligent decision module determines to start the AO function of the camera APP of the electronic equipment according to the customization information, the AO function of the camera supporting the long-open function is started under the drive control of the camera. And if the intelligent decision module determines to control the closing of the AO function of the camera APP of the electronic equipment according to the customized information, the camera drive controls the closing of the AO function of the camera supporting the long-open function.

Therefore, the customized information is transmitted by adding the customized interface to the electronic device, and the AP core transmits the customized information to the low-power-consumption core, so that the intelligent decision module can realize the customized control on the on/off of the AO function according to the customized information after the low-power-consumption core receives the customized information.

In another possible case of the embodiment of the present application, the AP core may transmit the customization information to the low power consumption core through a preset private path. Fig. 11 is a third schematic diagram of a software structure of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present application. The above technical solution can also be implemented in an electronic device having a software structure shown in fig. 11, and as shown in fig. 11, a software architecture of the electronic device may include an application program, a Java native interface, a long open HIDL, a long open service module, HIDL, a camera service module, a private HIDL, a private service module, a low power consumption processor interface, a camera driver 1, and a camera driver 2. The system comprises an application program, a Java local interface, a long-open HIDL, a long-open service module, an HIDL, a camera service module, a private HIDL, a private service module, an intelligent decision module, a low-power processor interface and a camera driver 1, wherein the application program, the Java local interface, the long-open HIDL, the long-open service module, the HIDL, the camera service module, the private HIDL, the private service module, the intelligent decision module, the low-power processor interface and the camera driver 1 are executed on an AP core; the intelligent decision module and the camera driver 2 are executed in the low-power-consumption core. The intelligent decision module is used for determining whether to control the camera drive 2 to start the AO function of the camera or not according to the customized information received by the low-power-consumption core.

Among them, the private HIDL is an interface description language for transmitting customized information.

The private service module is used for transmitting the customized information to the low-power-consumption core through the private HIDL interface after acquiring the customized information from the private HIDL.

Therefore, a private HIDL path (namely, a private HIDL and a private service module) is added in a software architecture of the electronic device, so that the electronic device can transmit the customization information (such as the screen state of the electronic device, the ambient light sensor information and the like) of the AP core to the low-power-consumption core through the private HIDL path, and the low-power-consumption core can realize the customization control of the on/off of the AO function according to the customization information.

In the embodiment of the application, the electronic device may add a statement of a private HIDL and a private service module in a software architecture, and further, the electronic device may transmit the customization information from the AP core to the low power consumption core through the private HIDL and the private service module.

In the embodiment of the application, in order to transmit the customization information from the AP core to the low-power-consumption core through the private HIDL interface, the electronic device adds a customization function corresponding to the customization information to the private HIDL. For example, the electronic device may add the customized functions to the private HIDL according to the customized requirements, including but not limited to setAL (), setCL (), setDS (), setAS (), setLS (), and setSS (). Wherein, setAL () function is used to transmit ambient light information from the AP core to the low power core, setCL () is used to transmit proximity light information from the AP core to the low power core, setDS () is used to transmit distance sensor information from the AP core to the low power core, setAS () is used to transmit attitude sensor information from the AP core to the low power core, setLS () is used to transmit screen state information of the electronic device from the AP core to the low power core, setSS () is used to transmit sleep state information of the electronic device from the AP core to the low power core.

It should be explained that there is a corresponding relationship between the added customization function and the transmission of the customization information from the AP core to the low power consumption core by the private HIDL and the private service module. Each piece of customized information has a corresponding customized function on the private HIDL interface, so that the private HIDL interface transmits the corresponding customized information from the AP core to the low-power consumption core through the customized function. For example, assuming that the customized information includes proximity light information and attitude sensor information, the private HIDL interface is provided with customized functions setCL () and setAS () for transmitting the proximity light information and the attitude sensor information.

Therefore, the electronic equipment releases the coupling with the original HIDL in the development iteration by adding the customization function corresponding to the customization information in the private HIDL interface, so that the extra workload is reduced, and the iteration speed is accelerated.

In the embodiment of the application, the electronic device may add some additional instructions for controlling the customized information based on the existing instruction for reporting the event (for example, subscribing to the face detection event or unsubscribing from the face detection) according to the customized requirement. For example, the electronic device may set a request instruction and a corresponding response instruction for customized information such as ambient light information, proximity light information, distance sensor information, attitude sensor information, screen status, and sleep status. For example, the request command and the corresponding response command of the electronic device for each customized information setting can be referred to the following table 1.

TABLE 1

Customizing information	Request instruction	Responding to the instruction
			Ambient light information	CAMERA_FD_AL_STAT	CAMERA_FD_AL_STAT_ACK
Proximity light information	CAMERA_FD_CL_STAT	CAMERA_FD_CL_STAT_ACK
			Distance sensor information	CAMERA_FD_DS_STAT	CAMERA_FD_DS_STAT_ACK
Attitude sensor information	CAMERA_FD_AS_STAT	CAMERA_FD_AS_STAT_ACK
			Status of screen	CAMERA_FD_LS_STAT	CAMERA_FD_LS_STAT_ACK
Sleep state	CAMERA_FD_SS_STAT	CAMERA_FD_SS_STAT_ACK

It should be noted that the customization information and the corresponding request command and response command in table 1 are only described as examples, and the actual customization information and the corresponding request command and response command are taken as the standard in the process of actually executing the command, and are not limited herein.

In this embodiment of the present application, the AP core sends a setting request instruction of the customization information to the low-power-consumption core through the private path, and after the low-power-consumption core receives the setting request instruction of the customization information, the low-power-consumption core may return a response instruction corresponding to the customization information to the AP core. For example, assuming that the low-power-consumption core determines whether to start the face detection function according to customized information (e.g., ambient light information), the AP core of the electronic device may call an ambient light function set by the interface of the low-power-consumption core processor through a setAL () function set by the private HIDL interface, and after sending an ambient light setting request instruction to the low-power-consumption core, the low-power-consumption core returns a response instruction corresponding to the ambient light information to the AP core. The low-power-consumption core can determine whether to start the face detection function according to the received ambient light information.

In this embodiment, the AP core of the electronic device may transmit the customization information to the low power consumption core in real time or periodically (for example, in a period of 5 seconds or 10 seconds) through the customization function set by the private HIDL interface. After the low-power-consumption core of the electronic equipment receives the customization information, the intelligent decision module can determine whether to control the camera to drive and start the AO function of the camera according to the received customization information. For example, after the low-power-consumption core of the electronic device receives the ambient light information transmitted by the AP core through the function of transmitting the ambient light information, the intelligent decision module may determine whether to control the camera to drive the start of the AO function of the camera according to the ambient light information. Therefore, the intelligent decision module can acquire the customized information, and a more flexible power consumption strategy is adopted according to the customized information, so that more optimal power consumption control is realized, and the purpose of reducing the power consumption of the electronic equipment is achieved.

In summary, in the embodiment of the present application, on the basis of the existing software architecture of the electronic device, a private path (i.e., a private HIDL and a private service module) is added, and the sending of the customized information to the low-power-consumption core is realized through the private path. And the intelligent decision module determines whether to control the camera to drive and start the AO function of the camera according to the customization information received by the low-power-consumption core. Therefore, the purpose of customizing the AO function of the camera is achieved, the power consumption problem caused by the long-term opening of the AO function in the existing software architecture is solved, and the purpose of effectively reducing the power consumption of the electronic equipment is achieved.

Compared with the existing software architecture of the electronic device, the existing software architecture of the electronic device cannot transmit the customized information from the AP core to the low-power-consumption core, and the low-power-consumption core cannot control the AO function of the camera in a customized manner, so that the problem of large power consumption caused by long-term opening of the AO function of the camera is solved. In the embodiment of the application, the private access is added on the basis of the existing software architecture of the electronic equipment, and the customized information is sent to the low-power-consumption core through the private access, so that the problem of power consumption caused by the fact that the AO function is long and the functions of the electronic equipment cannot be flexibly controlled in the existing software architecture is solved, and the purpose of effectively reducing the power consumption of the electronic equipment is achieved.
