Description

Method and communication system for cooperatively waking up first electronic equipment

Technical Field

The present application relates to the field of electronic technologies, and in particular, to a method and a communication system for cooperatively waking up a first electronic device.

Background

Some electronic devices have become a center for interaction with users in many situations such as home, conference room, classroom, etc. for various reasons (e.g., large display screen, many users facing each other, etc.). For example, in a home situation, the smart tv becomes a center for user interaction. For example, after the doorbell is sounded, a reminding message of the doorbell is displayed on the display screen of the smart television, and even a picture shot by a camera related to the doorbell is also displayed. For another example, other users may have a video call with the user's smart television through a smart device. Thus, the user can do other things while making a video call. The user's experience in various aspects such as convenience, visual perception is better. However, if it is to be ensured that the smart tv can respond to the demand quickly and even instantaneously, it is required that the smart tv is always in an operating state. In the working state, the intelligent television can rapidly and even instantly meet various requirements such as video call. Therefore, larger power consumption is brought, certain economic loss is brought to users, and the concept of energy conservation and emission reduction is not met. If the power consumption of the smart television is to be ensured to be low, the smart television cannot be enabled to respond quickly or even instantly when other users perform video calls, press doorbell, and the like. Therefore, how to make the first electronic device, such as the smart tv, to achieve both reduced power consumption and fast even instant response, or to achieve a balance between reduced power consumption and fast even instant response, is a need.

The technical scheme provided by the application can be used for simultaneously reducing the power consumption and quick and even instant response, or can well balance the requirement of reducing the power consumption of the first electronic equipment and the requirement of quick and even instant response of the first electronic equipment, and improves the user experience. Therefore, the first electronic equipment and the second electronic equipment can be used more economically, the concept of energy conservation and emission reduction is met, and meanwhile, the quick and even instant response of various requirements can still be met, namely the convenience of users is met.

In order to achieve the technical purpose, the embodiment of the application provides the following technical scheme:

In a first aspect, a communication method is provided, applied to a communication system. The communication method is used for waking up the first electronic equipment cooperatively; the communication system comprises a first electronic device, a second electronic device, a first server and a second server; the second electronic equipment is in communication connection with the second server for a longer time than the first electronic equipment is in communication connection with the first server; the first server is used for providing a call under the first application; the second server is used for storing the awakening equipment of the first electronic equipment as second electronic equipment; the first electronic equipment is in a low power consumption state; the process of the first application on the first electronic device is killed. The method comprises the following steps: the method comprises the steps that a first server receives a first call request of third electronic equipment under a first application, wherein the first call request is used for calling the first electronic equipment; the first server sends a second call request to the first electronic equipment through the first application; within a first preset time period for sending out a second call request, the first server does not receive a response of the first electronic device through the first application; the first server sends a first message to the second server; the first message is used for indicating to wake up the first electronic device; the second server sends a second message to the second electronic device; the second message is used for indicating the second electronic device to wake up the first electronic device; the second electronic equipment sends a wake-up message to the first electronic equipment through a pre-established communication connection; after receiving the wake-up message, the first electronic device wakes up, and the first electronic device automatically starts the process of the first application and logs in.

That is, on the one hand, the smart tv may enter a low power consumption state according to a user instruction or automatically. For example, when the user does not use the smart television, the remote controller may be used to control the smart television to enter a low power consumption state (e.g., power off, etc., the television is still powered on) to save power consumption. For another example, when the smart television does not receive the instruction within the preset duration D after executing the certain instruction, and the smart television does not execute the specific task (for example, playing the video) within the preset duration D, the smart television can automatically enter a low power consumption state to save power consumption. On the other hand, a second electronic device that is powered on for a long time (i.e., is in an operating state for a long time and is capable of maintaining a communication connection with the first server for a long time) may be selected as the wake-up device of the first electronic device. Thus, when the first electronic device is in a low power consumption state, the first electronic device can be awakened by the second electronic device. Thus, when the first server calls the first electronic device when the first electronic device is in the low power consumption state, the first electronic device can be awakened by the second server and the second electronic device, and the call request of the first electronic device can be responded in time. Therefore, the technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the application can be used for reducing the power consumption and realizing quick and even instant response, or can be used for well balancing the requirement of reducing the power consumption of the first electronic equipment and the requirement of realizing quick and even instant response of the first electronic equipment, so that the user experience is improved. Therefore, the first electronic equipment and the second electronic equipment can be used more economically, the concept of energy conservation and emission reduction is met, and meanwhile, the quick and even instant response of various requirements can still be met, namely the convenience of users is met.

Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a system architecture of an application scenario according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 1, the system architecture includes a first electronic device 100, an application server 200, and a third electronic device 400. The communication connection between the first electronic device 100 and the application server 200, and between the third electronic device 400 and the application server 200 may be established through one or more networks. The one or more networks include at least one wireless network and may also include at least one wired network. The wireless network may be implemented using any known wireless network communication protocol, such as wireless fidelity (WIRELESS FIDELITY, wi-Fi), any cellular network communication protocol (e.g., 2G/3G/4G/5G), etc. The wired network described above may be implemented using any known wired network communication protocol, such as ethernet, universal serial bus (universal serial bus, USB), FIREWIRE (FIREWIRE), etc.

Alternatively, the application server 200 may integrate a function of a push (push) service, and the first electronic device 100 may integrate a function of receiving the push service. For example, the first electronic device 100 runs a push service or push process.

Optionally, the system architecture may also include a push server 300 in addition to the application server 200. The application server 200 may send a push message to the first electronic device 100 via the push server 300. The push server 300 may function the same as the push service integrated with the application server 200. The first electronic device 100 may integrate the functionality of receiving push services. For example, the first electronic device 100 runs a push service or push process.

Optionally, the system architecture may also include a smart home server 600. The communication initiated by the third electronic device 400 to the first electronic device 100 may sequentially go through the third electronic device 400, the application server 200, the smart home server 600, and finally to the first electronic device 100. Accordingly, the communication initiated by the first electronic device 100 to the third electronic device 400 may sequentially go through the first electronic device 100, the smart home server 600, the application server 200, and finally to the third electronic device 400.

The various aspects of the present application may be freely combined unless otherwise specified. The freely combined technical scheme is also within the scope of the application.

Illustratively, the first electronic device 100 may be an intelligent home device such as an intelligent television (e.g., an intelligent screen) on which a plurality of application programs may be installed to provide various functions or services to a user. By way of example, the third electronic device 400 may be a smart phone, a tablet, a wearable electronic device, a smart home device such as a smart doorbell, or the like. The third electronic device 400 may be another electronic device. For example, a network telephony (voice over internet protocol, voIP) application (e.g., a clear-link application) is installed on each of the first electronic device 100 and the third electronic device 400. The network call application can provide video call service for the user, audio call service for the user, and the like. For example, the first electronic device 100 may also install smart home applications (e.g., smart life applications, doorbell applications, etc.). Alternatively, the first electronic device 100 may be installed with both a network telephony application (e.g., a free-connection application) and a smart home application (e.g., a smart life application, a doorbell application, etc.).

In a first application scenario, a user may use the web-talk application 101 on the first electronic device 100 to implement a video-talk or an audio-talk with the third electronic device 400. The following description will take video call service as an example. In this scenario, the application server 200 in fig. 1 may specifically be a network call server, and provide a video call service or an audio call service for the first electronic device 100, etc. The third electronic device 400 may be a call terminal used by the other party; such as smartphones, smart televisions, tablet computers, etc. Then, the user may establish a video call connection with the third electronic device 400 through the network call application 101 installed in the first electronic device 100, via the application server 200, or via the smart home server 600 and the application server 200, to perform a video call.

In an exemplary manner, in the case where the third electronic device 400 calls the first electronic device 100, if the first electronic device 100 does not open the network call application 101, or has exited the network call application 101, or has killed the process of the (kill) network call application 101, in a case where the first electronic device 100 runs a push application or a push process, the application server 400 may immediately inform the first electronic device 100 through a push service that the third electronic device 400 is calling the first electronic device 100. That is, in the case where the user does not open the web-call application 101 on the first electronic device 100, since the first electronic device 100 runs a push service or a push process, the first electronic device 100 can still receive the call request from the application server 200. Wherein active message pushing may be performed to the first electronic device 100 through a push service. The user may see the push message notification in the notification bar of the first electronic device 100 (at this time, the first electronic device 100 may be in an unlocked state or may be in a locked state). After clicking the message content in the notification bar, the user can launch a corresponding application and enter a corresponding page in the application. Or after receiving the push message, the first electronic device 100 automatically starts an application corresponding to the push message and enters a corresponding page. Or the first electronic device 100 may automatically start the network call application after receiving the push message, and enter the call interface of the video call. Thus, when the user selects to answer, the first server 100 can establish a video call connection with the first electronic device 100 to perform a video call. The push service described above may be provided by a push server 300 (not shown in fig. 2) other than the application server 200, or may be provided by a push service function integrated with the application server 200.

In a second application scenario, as shown in fig. 2, the first electronic device 100 is installed with an intelligent home application 102 (such as a smart life application), the third electronic device 400 is an intelligent home device, and the first electronic device 100 may cooperate or link with the third electronic device 400. For example, the first electronic device 100 is a smart television. The third electronic device 400 is a smart doorbell that works or links with the first electronic device 100. The smart home server 600 may or may not integrate the functions of the application server. Alternatively, the third electronic device 400 may be an electronic device such as a smart camera. The following description uses the third electronic device 400 as an intelligent doorbell and communicates with the intelligent home server 600, and communicates with the intelligent home server 600 after no longer passing through an application server, where the first electronic device 100 is an example of intelligent electricity.

Illustratively, when a guest triggers a doorbell function of the smart doorbell (e.g., presses the smart doorbell), the smart doorbell may send a video call to the smart television through the smart home server 600, which displays the video call screen. The host can choose to answer the video call, and can see the video call on the intelligent television, and the video call can be watched from the outside of the door captured by the intelligent doorbell integrated camera or the connected camera in real time. Of course, after receiving the video call sent by the intelligent home server, the intelligent television can also directly display the video call captured by the camera integrated by the intelligent doorbell or the connected camera in real time.

If the smart television does not open the smart home application 102 (or the doorbell application) or has exited the smart home application 102 (or the doorbell application) or has killed the process of the (kill) smart home application 102 (or the doorbell application) when the guest triggers the doorbell function of the smart doorbell (for example, presses the smart doorbell), the smart home server 600 may inform the smart television in time through a push service when the smart television opens a push application or a push process. That is, in the case where the user does not open the smart home application 102 (or doorbell application) on the smart tv, the smart tv may still receive a push message since the smart tv runs a push service or a push process. The smart television automatically starts the smart home application 102 (or doorbell application) after receiving the push message, displays a video call interface, or directly displays a real-time captured out-of-door picture. Therefore, the user can acquire the information outside the door through the intelligent television in real time and conveniently. The push service may be provided by a push server 300 (not shown in fig. 2) other than the smart home server 600, or may be provided by a push service function integrated with the smart home server 600.

It should be noted that, in the first scenario or the second scenario, generally, the first electronic device 100 may receive a communication request or a cooperative work request only when the CPU of the first electronic device 100 is in an operating state (such a request may be in a push message manner or may be in a request manner in a corresponding application). In order to ensure that the first electronic device 100 responds to the demand quickly and even instantaneously, the first electronic device 100 needs to be in an operating state all the time, which may result in high power consumption.

When the user does not use the first electronic device 100, the user may turn off the first electronic device 100; or the first electronic device 100 may sleep when the first electronic device 100 is not used for a longer period of time. However, when the first electronic device 100 is in the off state or the sleep state, the CPU of the first electronic device 100 is not in the operating state (e.g., the CPU of the first electronic device 100 is in the low power consumption state) even if the first electronic device 100 is still powered on. At this time, if the third electronic device 400 sends a communication request (for example, a call request is initiated) or a cooperative request (for example, a smart doorbell cooperative request is initiated) to the first electronic device 100 through the application server or the smart home server, whether the application server or the smart home server sends a request in a corresponding application (for example, a network call application or a smart home application) to the first electronic device 100 or sends a push message to the first electronic device 100 through the application server 200, the smart home server 600 or the push server 300, the sent message cannot reach the first electronic device 100, and immediate feedback or response cannot be provided for the user. In this way, although the power consumption of the first electronic device 100 is reduced, the first electronic device 100 cannot respond quickly or even instantaneously to the request of the third electronic device 400. Also, when the user actively transmits a request to the third electronic device 400 through the first electronic device 100, the first electronic device 100 cannot respond instantaneously.

In order to achieve the balance between the reduction of power consumption and the quick and even instant response, or achieve the balance between the reduction of power consumption and the quick and even instant response, the embodiment of the application provides a method for cooperatively waking up a first electronic device through a second electronic device. The method provided by the embodiment of the application is based on the following system.

As shown in fig. 1, in addition to the first electronic device 100, the application server 200, and the third electronic device 400, the system corresponding to the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application further includes a second electronic device 500 and an intelligent home server 600. When the user does not use the first electronic device 100, the first electronic device 100 may be in a low power consumption state. In this low power consumption state, the CPU of the first electronic device 100 enters a wait for interrupt (wait for interrupt, WFI) state. At this time, the first electronic device 100 closes the application. It should be noted that when the first electronic device 100 is in the low power consumption state, the wireless communication module (e.g., wi-Fi module, bluetooth module, etc.) of the first electronic device 100 is in an operating state. And, a connection may be established between the first electronic device 100 and the second electronic device 500 through a wireless communication protocol. For example, the first electronic device 100 establishes a Wi-Fi connection, or a bluetooth connection (e.g., a connection of classical bluetooth or a connection of bluetooth low energy) with the second electronic device 500.

Alternatively, the application server 200 and the smart home server 600 in fig. 1 may be integrated into one server. One integrated server has the functions of both the application server 200 and the smart home server 600. In particular, one integrated server may run smart home services and application services in the form of software applications.

Optionally, the system corresponding to the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application may further include a push server 300. The push server 300 is disposed outside the application server 200 and the smart home server 600.

Alternatively, the push server 300, the application server 200, and the smart home server 600 may be integrated into one server. One integrated server has the functions of the pushing server 300, the application server 200 and the intelligent home server 600. Specifically, one integrated server may run push services, smart home services, and application services in the form of software applications.

Alternatively, the push server 300, the application server 200, and the smart home server 600 may be integrated into any two servers; the functionality of the unreserved servers can be integrated in either of the two servers described above. In particular, either one of the two integrated servers may run the service corresponding to the unreserved server in the form of a software application. For example, the two integrated servers are the application server 200 and the smart home server 600; the functionality of the push server 300 may be integrated in the application server 200 or in the smart home server 600; specifically, the push server functions are run in software in the application server 200 or the smart home server 600. For another example, the two integrated servers are the push server 300 and the application server 200; the functions of the intelligent home server are integrated in the application server; specifically, the functions of the smart home server are run in the application server 200 in the form of software.

Optionally, the system corresponding to the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application may also not include the push server 300. Neither the application server 200 nor the smart home server 600 integrates push service functionality; the first electronic device 100 may not run a push service or a push process.

Alternatively, the system corresponding to the technical solution provided in the embodiment of the present application may include only any one of the smart home server 600 and the application server 200. The smart home server 600 or the application server 200 does not need to integrate a push server. The first electronic device 100 does not need to run a push service or a push process either.

According to the method for waking up the first electronic device cooperatively through the second electronic device, the second electronic device which is lower in power consumption and keeps communication connection with the server for a long time is preset, a binding relation (also called as a mapping relation and an incidence relation) is established between the second electronic device and the first electronic device which is higher in power consumption, and the binding relation is stored on the server (for example, an application server and/or an intelligent home server, and a server which is formed by integrating any two of the application server, the intelligent home server and the push server); when the first electronic equipment is in a low-power consumption state, the first electronic equipment can still keep wireless communication connection with the second electronic equipment; when the third electronic device sends a communication request or a cooperative work request such as a call to the first electronic device through the server, the server can send the communication request or the cooperative work request such as the call to the third electronic device after a preset time period passes and communication connection is not successfully established with the first electronic device; the third electronic device wakes up the first electronic device through wireless communication connection between the third electronic device and the first electronic device, so that the first electronic device starts corresponding applications (such as a network call application, an intelligent home application and the like) and establishes communication with the third electronic device through the server; or after the first electronic device is awakened, a push message may be received, so as to open a corresponding application (such as a network call application or an intelligent home application), and then establish communication with the third electronic device through the server. Therefore, the power consumption of the first electronic equipment can be effectively reduced, the response time of the first electronic equipment to the demand can be shortened, and quick and even instant response is realized. In addition, since the second electronic device itself maintains a communication connection with the server for a long time, power consumption of the first electronic device and the second electronic device as a whole is also reduced. Therefore, the method is economical and practical for users, and saves energy and reduces emission.

In a specific implementation, the second electronic device is not limited to the above examples, but may also include, but is not limited to, one of the following: intelligent audio amplifier, intelligent air conditioner, smart jack, intelligent lighting apparatus, intelligent electric heater, router etc.. For the second electronic device, in general, it is sufficient to keep a communication connection with a server (for example, a smart home server) for a long time. Further, an electronic device with lower power consumption than the first electronic device is a preferable second electronic device. In general, a place where a user is located (for example, home) may be selected, where the communication connection with the server is maintained for a long time, and the electronic device with lower power consumption or even the lowest power consumption is the second electronic device.

In addition, the second electronic device may be modified based on one or more of different time factors (e.g., seasons), different location factors (e.g., places), local policy factors (e.g., local heating factors), and user habit factors, etc. For example, in south Beijing, china, it is hotter in summer and colder in winter; then in summer the second electronic device may preferably be a smart air conditioner; in winter, the second electronic device may preferably be an intelligent electric heater because south Beijing does not concentrate heating. Optionally, the modification to the second electronic device may be automatic or may be manually modified. The automatic change can be carried out at regular intervals, and the intelligent devices in the place (such as home) can be used for determining that the communication connection with the server is maintained for a long time through negotiation, and the electronic device with lower power consumption or the lowest power consumption is the second electronic device. Optionally, the above modification to the second electronic device may have both the automatic modification and the manual modification.

Therefore, the technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the application can achieve the balance between the reduction of power consumption and the quick and even instant response, or can well achieve the balance between the reduction of power consumption and the quick and even instant response, and improve the user experience. Therefore, the first electronic equipment and the second electronic equipment can be used more economically, the concept of energy conservation and emission reduction is met, meanwhile, the quick and even instant response of various requirements can be met, the convenience of a user is ensured, and the user experience is improved.

Fig. 3 is a schematic structural diagram of a first electronic device 100 according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in fig. 3, the first electronic device 100 may include a processor 110, an external memory interface 120, an internal memory 121, a universal serial bus (universal serial bus, USB) interface 130, a power module 140, an antenna 150, a wireless communication module 160, an audio module 170, a speaker 170A, a receiver 170B, a microphone 170C, an earphone interface 170D, a sensor module 180, keys 190, a motor 191, an indicator 192, a camera 193, a display 194, and the like.

It is to be understood that the structure illustrated in fig. 3 does not constitute a specific limitation on the first electronic device 100. In other embodiments of the application, the first electronic device 100 may include more or fewer components than shown, or certain components may be combined, or certain components may be split, or different arrangements of components. The components shown in fig. 3 may be implemented in hardware, software, or a combination of software and hardware.

The processor 110 may include one or more processing units, such as: processor 110 may include a central processor (central processing unit, CPU), a microcontroller (microcontroller unit, MCU), a modem processor, a graphics processor (graphics processing unit, GPU), an image signal processor (IMAGE SIGNAL processor, ISP), a video codec, a digital signal processor (DIGITAL SIGNAL processor, DSP), a baseband processor, and/or a neural network processor (neural-network processing unit, NPU), etc. Wherein the different processing units may be separate devices or may be integrated in one or more processors.

A memory may also be provided in the processor 110 for storing instructions and data. In some embodiments, the memory in the processor 110 is a cache memory. The memory may hold instructions or data that the processor 110 has just used or recycled. If the processor 110 needs to reuse the instruction or data, it can be called directly from the memory. Repeated accesses are avoided and the latency of the processor 110 is reduced, thereby improving the efficiency of the system.

The internal memory 121 may be used to store computer executable program code including instructions. The internal memory 121 may include a storage program area and a storage data area. The storage program area may store an application program (such as a sound playing function, an image playing function, etc.) required for at least one function of the operating system, etc. The storage data area may store data created during use of the first electronic device 100 (e.g., audio data, phonebook, etc.), and so on. In addition, the internal memory 121 may include a high-speed random access memory, and may further include a nonvolatile memory such as at least one magnetic disk storage device, a flash memory device, a universal flash memory (universal flash storage, UFS), and the like.

Specifically, when the CPU of the first electronic device 100 is in an operating state, the CPU executes various functional applications and data processing of the first electronic device 100 by executing instructions stored in the internal memory 121 and/or instructions stored in a memory provided in the processor. For example, the CPU runs an operating system stored in the internal memory 121, and runs a web-talk (voice over internet protocol, voip) application (e.g., a smooth-connection application), a smart home application (e.g., a smart life application) stored in the internal memory 121.

When the first electronic device 100 does not receive the instruction again within the preset duration D after executing the instruction, and the first electronic device 100 does not execute the specific task (for example, playing video, etc.), the first electronic device 100 may automatically enter a low power consumption mode (may also be referred to as a low power consumption state). Or the first electronic device 100 may enter the low power consumption mode according to the user's instruction. When the first electronic device 100 enters the low power consumption mode, the CPU of the first electronic device 100 enters the WFI state, and at this time, most of the operating system and the application program are no longer run by the CPU of the first electronic device 100. Such as a network telephony application, smart home application, etc., is no longer run by the CPU of the first electronic device 100. At this time, the power consumption is smaller when the CPU is in the WFI state than when the CPU is in the operation state.

Optionally, the processor 110 includes a CPU and an MCU. When the CPU of the first electronic device 100 is in the WFI state, the MCU of the first electronic device 100 is in a working state or a low power consumption state, and controls the wireless communication module 160 of the first electronic device 100. Preferably, when the first electronic device 100 is powered off or dormant, the MCU and/or the wireless communication module 160 operates in a low power consumption mode, i.e. the power consumption of the MCU and/or the wireless communication module 160 is smaller than that of the normal operation state. Wherein the MCU and the wireless communication module 160 may be two components; i.e., the MCU is an external component with respect to the wireless communication module 160. Alternatively, the MCU may also be integrated in the wireless communication module 160, i.e. the MCU is a built-in component of the wireless communication module 160; the processor 110 does not include an MCU at this point.

For example, the MCU controls a Wi-Fi module in the wireless communication module 160 to be in a powered-on state; and, the first electronic device 100 establishes a connection with the second electronic device 500 through the Wi-Fi module, so that the subsequent second electronic device 500 wakes up the first electronic device 100 through the Wi-Fi connection. Optionally, when the first electronic device 100 is powered off or dormant, the CPU is powered off, the MCU and/or the Wi-Fi module are in a low power consumption state, and the first electronic device 100 further establishes a connection with a server (such as an application server and/or a smart home server, a server after any two of the application server, the smart home server and the push server are integrated) through the Wi-Fi module, so as to quickly and even immediately respond to a communication request or a cooperative work request sent by the server. That is, after the first electronic device 100 is awakened, there is no need to reestablish a connection with the server, and then respond to a video call request or a cooperative work request sent by the server, and so on.

Alternatively, the RAM of the first electronic device 100 may be in a self-refresh, low power mode. That is, in the first electronic device, except for the CPU being in the WFI state, the MCU being in the working state, and the Wi-Fi module in the wireless communication module 160 being in the power-on state, other components of the first electronic device 100 may be in the power-down state. If the first electronic device 100 is a flat-panel television in the smart television, the overall power consumption of the first electronic device 100 is smaller at this time, so that the requirement that the passive standby power of the flat-panel television is less than or equal to 0.50W in section 4.4 of national standard of the people's republic of China GB24850-2013 can be met.

The foregoing description is given by taking a Wi-Fi module as an example, and a bluetooth (bluetooth) module, a zigbee (zigbee) module, and other short-distance wireless communication modules may be used to establish a short-distance wireless communication connection between the first electronic device 100 and the second electronic device 500. The bluetooth module may be a classical bluetooth module or a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). Alternatively, any two or more of the above-described short-range wireless communication modules may be combined to establish a short-range wireless communication connection between the first electronic device 100 and the second electronic device 500.

In some embodiments, the processor 110 may include one or more interfaces. The interfaces may include an integrated circuit (inter-INTEGRATED CIRCUIT, I2C) interface, an integrated circuit built-in audio (inter-INTEGRATED CIRCUIT SOUND, I2S) interface, a pulse code modulation (pulse code modulation, PCM) interface, a universal asynchronous receiver transmitter (universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter, UART) interface, a mobile industry processor interface (mobile industry processor interface, MIPI), a general-purpose input/output (GPIO) interface, a subscriber identity module (subscriber identity module, SIM) interface, and/or a universal serial bus (universal serial bus, USB) interface, among others.

It should be understood that the interfacing relationship between the modules illustrated in the embodiment of the present application is only illustrative, and is not limited to the structure of the first electronic device 100. In other embodiments of the present application, the first electronic device 100 may also use different interfacing manners, or a combination of multiple interfacing manners in the foregoing embodiments.

The power module 140 is used to power other components of the first electronic device 100, for example, to provide power to the processor 110, the internal memory 121, the display 194, the audio module 170, the sensor module 180, etc.

The wireless communication function of the first electronic device 100 may be implemented by the antenna 150, the wireless communication module 160, a modem processor, a baseband processor, and the like.

The wireless communication module 160 may provide solutions for wireless communication including wireless local area network (wireless local area networks, WLAN) (e.g., wireless fidelity (WIRELESS FIDELITY, wi-Fi) network), bluetooth (BT), global navigation satellite system (global navigation SATELLITE SYSTEM, GNSS), frequency modulation (frequency modulation, FM), near Field Communication (NFC), infrared (IR), etc., applied on the first electronic device 100. The wireless communication module 160 may be one or more devices that integrate at least one communication processing module. The wireless communication module 160 receives electromagnetic waves via the antenna 150, modulates the electromagnetic wave signals, filters the electromagnetic wave signals, and transmits the processed signals to the processor 110. The wireless communication module 160 may also receive a signal to be transmitted from the processor 110, frequency modulate it, amplify it, and convert it to electromagnetic waves for radiation via the antenna 150.

The first electronic device 100 implements display functions by a GPU, a display screen 194, a CPU, and the like. The GPU is a microprocessor for image processing, and is connected to the display 194 and the CPU. The GPU is used to perform mathematical and geometric calculations for graphics rendering. Processor 110 may include one or more GPUs that execute program instructions to generate or change display information.

The display screen 194 is used to display images, videos, and the like. The display 194 includes a display panel. The display panel may employ a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) CRYSTAL DISPLAY, an organic light-emitting diode (OLED), an active-matrix organic LIGHT EMITTING diode (AMOLED), a flexible light-emitting diode (FLED), miniled, microLed, micro-oLed, a quantum dot LIGHT EMITTING diode (QLED), or the like. In some embodiments, the first electronic device 100 may include 1 or N display screens 194, N being a positive integer greater than 1.

The first electronic device 100 may implement a photographing function through an ISP, a camera 193, a video codec, a GPU, a display screen 194, a CPU, and the like.

The ISP is used to process data fed back by the camera 193. For example, when photographing, the shutter is opened, light is transmitted to the camera photosensitive element through the lens, the optical signal is converted into an electric signal, and the camera photosensitive element transmits the electric signal to the ISP for processing and is converted into an image visible to naked eyes. ISP can also optimize the noise, brightness and skin color of the image. The ISP can also optimize parameters such as exposure, color temperature and the like of a shooting scene. In some embodiments, the ISP may be provided in the camera 193.

The camera 193 is used to capture still images or video. The object generates an optical image through the lens and projects the optical image onto the photosensitive element. The photosensitive element may be a charge coupled device (charge coupled device, CCD) or a Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) phototransistor. The photosensitive element converts the optical signal into an electrical signal, which is then transferred to the ISP to be converted into a digital image signal. The ISP outputs the digital image signal to the DSP for processing. The DSP converts the digital image signal into an image signal in a standard RGB, YUV, or the like format. In some embodiments, the first electronic device 100 may include 1 or N cameras 193, N being a positive integer greater than 1.

The external memory interface 120 may be used to connect an external memory card, such as a Micro SD card, to enable expansion of the memory capabilities of the first electronic device 100. The external memory card communicates with the processor 110 through an external memory interface 120 to implement data storage functions. For example, files such as music, video, etc. are stored in an external memory card.

The first electronic device 100 may implement audio functions through the audio module 170, the speaker 170A, the receiver 170B, the microphone 170C, the earphone interface 170D, the CPU, and the like. Such as music playing, recording, etc.

The keys 190 include a power-on key, a volume key, etc. The keys 190 may be mechanical keys. Or may be a touch key. The intelligent terminal may receive key inputs, generating key signal inputs related to user settings and function control of the intelligent terminal.

The method for waking up the first electronic device cooperatively provided by the embodiment of the application can comprise an initialization step and a cooperative waking up step. An initialization step, configured to set the second electronic device as a wake-up device of the first electronic device. And the collaborative wake-up step is used for the second electronic equipment to wake-up the first electronic equipment in a collaborative way after the second electronic equipment receives the corresponding message. The initializing step may include a manual initializing step and an automatic initializing step. The automatic initialization step may be performed by the first electronic device itself or by an electronic device connected to the first electronic device. Regarding the automatic initialization step, it is possible to automatically initialize or automatically update according to the above-mentioned factors. The step of manually initializing may be performed by the first electronic device itself or by a control device of the first electronic device. The manual initialization step is described below with the control device of the first electronic device as an example. In the following description, in order to better explain the manual initialization step, the first electronic device 100 is taken as a smart tv, the second electronic device 500 is taken as a smart speaker, and the smart tv performs the video call service as an example.

An exemplary embodiment of a method for co-waking up a first electronic device according to an embodiment of the present application is shown in fig. 5, where a second electronic device is set as a flow chart of a wake-up device of the first electronic device. Fig. 6 is a schematic flow chart of a collaborative wake-up first electronic device according to an embodiment of the present application.

In fig. 5 and fig. 6, the first electronic device is an intelligent television, and the second electronic device is an intelligent sound box.

As shown in fig. 5, in an exemplary embodiment of a method for cooperatively waking up a first electronic device, a process for setting a wake-up device may include:

s500, the control equipment of the intelligent television receives a first operation, wherein the first operation is used for setting the intelligent sound box as the awakening equipment of the intelligent television.

The control device of the smart television can be electronic devices such as a smart phone, a tablet personal computer, wearable devices, other smart home devices and the like, and also can be the smart television. The wake-up device of the smart television, which may also be referred to as a second electronic device, refers to an electronic device that can wake up the smart television when the smart television is in a low-power state, so that the smart television is switched from the low-power state to a working state, and further, the smart television establishes or resumes communication connection with the server. The wake-up device of the smart television can wake up the smart television when the smart television is in a low power consumption state, so that a CPU of the smart television is switched from a WFI state to a working state.

Because the smart television is in a working state and has high power consumption, when the user does not use the smart television or the smart television does not receive the input of the user within a preset time period and does not execute a specific task (for example, playing video), the smart television can automatically enter a low power consumption state or enter a low power consumption state according to the instruction of the user. The user may select a smart device that remains communicatively connected to a server (e.g., a smart home server) for a long period of time as the wake-up device for the smart television. Further, an intelligent device with lower power consumption than that of the intelligent television when communication connection is maintained can be selected as the wake-up device of the intelligent television. For example, a smart speaker.

Preferably, if the wake-up device wakes up the smart tv by short-range communication such as bluetooth, an electronic device (for example, an electronic device located in the same room as the smart tv) that is in communication connection with a server (for example, a smart home server) for a long time and is located in a certain distance range of the smart tv may be selected. For example, the smart television is located in a living room, and the smart sound box in the living room is selected as wake-up equipment of the smart television. Of course, the intelligent sound box of the living room is not necessarily used as the control device of the intelligent television of the living room. The router for secondary lying can also be used as the control equipment of the intelligent television in the living room. Of course, selection may also be made according to the preference of the user. The embodiment of the application does not limit the selection of the wake-up equipment of the intelligent television.

Illustratively, a user may set a wake-up device of the smart television through a first application (e.g., a smart home application, a smart life application, etc.) on a control device (e.g., a smart phone) of the smart television. For example, the user starts a smart life application on a smart phone, which displays the device list interface 701 shown in (1) in fig. 7A. The device list interface 701 includes registered and networked intelligent devices, such as a living room television, a primary lying television, a secondary lying television, a living room intelligent speaker, and the like. In response to an operation (which may be a click, a long press, etc.) of a smart tv (e.g., a television in a living room) option 702 to add a wake-up device, the smart phone displays a control interface 703 of the smart tv as shown in (2) in fig. 7A. Thereafter, the user may add the wake-up device of the smart television using the wake-up device's setting control 704 in the control interface 703. In response to the operation of the setting control 704, the smartphone displays an interface 705 as shown in (3) in fig. 7A. The interface 705 includes a pop-up device list 706 for the user to select the wake-up device of the smart television. The device list 706 may include all the electronic devices registered in the network and configured with the network, or may display the electronic devices screened according to a certain condition. For example, a device located in the same room as the smart device to which the wake-up device is to be added, or a device that is displayed online, or a device that is displayed with low power consumption, etc. The device list 706 may display one or more electronic devices in turn by default according to a comprehensive ordering (not shown in fig. 7A) that is long-term online and low-power consumption. The electronic device with the upper display position is recommended preferentially. The device list 706 may also display one or more electronic devices in sequence according to the filtered conditions after changing the filtering conditions (not shown in fig. 7A). Likewise, the electronic device with the upper display position is preferentially recommended. Generally, a user can select an intelligent device which is online for a long time and has low power consumption as a wake-up device of the intelligent television. For example, the first operation may be selecting a smart speaker in the living room as a wake-up device for a smart television in the living room. In response to the first operation, the smartphone may display an interface 707 as shown in fig. 7A (4). Interface 707 includes a wake-up device that displays the smart speakers of the selected living room as a smart television. Simultaneously or later, the smart phone sends a first message to the server, and the first message is used for informing the wake-up equipment of the smart television taking the smart sound box of the living room as the smart television of the living room.

Of course, the wake-up device may be set in other setting manners, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific setting manner.

S501, the control device of the intelligent television sends a first message to the server, and the first message is used for informing the intelligent sound box to be the awakening device of the intelligent television.

Illustratively, the first message includes an identification of the smart television (i.e., an identification of the awakened device) and an identification of the smart speaker (i.e., an identification of the awakened device).

The server may be an application server and/or an intelligent home server, and may also be a server formed by integrating any two of the application server, the intelligent home server and the push server.

S502, receiving the first message, and recording that the intelligent sound box is wake-up equipment of the intelligent television by the server.

For example, after the server receives the first message, the identifier of the awakened device (i.e., the identifier of the smart television) and the identifier of the awakened device (i.e., the identifier of the smart speaker) are obtained from the first message, so as to establish a binding (may also be referred to as association or mapping) relationship between the smart television and the awakened device.

Optionally, the server also needs to acquire the content of the wake-up message of the smart speaker to wake up the smart television. In some embodiments, the wake-up message sent by the smart speaker may be a message containing specific content, or may be a message including a specific format. In other embodiments, the server may also obtain the content of the wake-up message using the following method. For example, when the smart tv registers and distributes to the network at the server, the server may receive information of a remote control instruction sent by the smart tv. Or the server can inquire the information of the remote control instruction corresponding to the intelligent television from the network according to the brand, model and the like of the intelligent television. The information of the remote control instruction corresponding to the intelligent television comprises instruction content for waking up the intelligent television, namely the content of a wake-up message. The content of the wake-up message can be understood as the content of the signal sent by the remote controller after the user operates a specific key on the smart television remote controller. And when the intelligent television receives the signal sent by the remote controller, the intelligent television is switched to the working state from the low-power consumption state. That is, the content of the wake-up message is the signal content corresponding to the specific key on the remote controller. In other words, when the intelligent sound box wakes up the intelligent television, the signal corresponding to the specific key of the intelligent television remote controller is simulated, and when the intelligent television receives the signal, the intelligent television is switched to the working state from the low-power consumption state. For another example, the smart tv may actively report the content of the wake-up message to the smart home server when the wake-up device is set, or return the content of the wake-up message after receiving the request from the smart home server. The embodiment of the application does not limit the way in which the intelligent home server acquires the content of the wake-up message.

Further, the server records the identity of the awakened device, and the content of the awakening message. As shown in table 1 below, one example of a binding relationship between a smart tv and a smart speaker is stored for a server.

TABLE 1

Awakened device	Wake-up device	Content of wake-up message
			Smart television MAC address	Intelligent sound box MAC address	xx：xx：xx：xx

In some embodiments, after storing the binding relationship between the smart tv and the smart speaker, the server may send the identifier of the awakened device (i.e., the identifier of the smart tv, for example, the MAC address or serial number of the smart tv, etc.) and the content of the awakening message to the smart speaker, so that the smart speaker stores the identifier of the smart tv and the content of the awakening message corresponding to the smart tv in advance. Of course, the server may also send the identifier of the awakened device and the content of the awakening message to the intelligent sound box at other occasions, and the sending occasion of the embodiment of the application is not limited.

In other embodiments, after the server sets the smart speaker as the wake-up device of the smart television, the smart television may also be notified to send the content of the wake-up message to the smart speaker, so that the subsequent smart speaker subsequently sends the wake-up message to wake up the smart television.

Optionally, after the intelligent sound box is set as the wake-up device of the intelligent television, the user can cancel the intelligent sound box as the wake-up device of the intelligent television, or modify other electronic devices into the wake-up device of the intelligent television. Specifically, the above process of setting the wake-up device may further include:

s503, the control device of the intelligent television receives a second operation, wherein the second operation is used for canceling or changing the awakening device of the intelligent television.

Illustratively, the interface 707 shown in (4) in fig. 7A is one example of a setting interface for setting a smart tv wakeup device (e.g., a smart phone). In interface 707, the user may cancel or alter the wake-up device of the smart television by deleting control 709 or modifying control 708.

S504, the control equipment of the intelligent television sends a second message to the server, and the second message is used for informing the user of canceling or changing the awakening equipment of the intelligent television.

Illustratively, the second message carries an identification of the smart television (i.e., the awakened device). Optionally, the second message may also carry the identity of the smart speaker (i.e., wake-up device before cancellation or modification).

S505, the server receives the second message, and deletes or changes the awakening equipment of the intelligent television.

In other embodiments, if it is detected that the modification control 708 is triggered in the interface 707 shown in fig. 7A (4), the control device of the smart tv displays a modification interface of the wake-up device of the smart tv, and the user selects another electronic device as a new wake-up device of the smart tv, such as selecting a router. And then, the control equipment of the intelligent television sends a third message to the server, wherein the third message is used for informing the awakening equipment of the intelligent television to be a router. The third message carries the identification of the smart television (i.e., the awakened device) and the identification of the router (i.e., the modified awakened device). Optionally, the third message may also carry the identity of the smart speaker (i.e., wake-up device before modification).

The server, after receiving the third message, deletes the record that the intelligent sound box is awakened by the intelligent television, and records the binding relationship between the router and the intelligent television. Optionally, after receiving the third message, the server only changes the information of the wake-up device in the record; for example, the intelligent sound box in the record is changed to be a router.

It should be noted that, S503 to S505 are optional steps; in the manual initialization step, not all of them are performed.

The following description will be made by taking a first electronic device as an intelligent television, a second electronic device as an intelligent sound box, and a third electronic device as an intelligent mobile phone. It should be emphasized that in the technical solution provided in the embodiments of the present application, the first electronic device is not limited to a smart tv, and the third electronic device is not limited to a smart phone. The third electronic device may also be other electronic devices (e.g., smart home devices such as smart doorbell, etc.). Illustratively, the third electronic device is a smart doorbell that may install or run a web-talk application. The intelligent doorbell can be integrated or connected with a camera for gather the image before the intelligent doorbell. Such acquisition may be, for example, real-time acquisition.

For the second electronic device, in general, the second electronic device may be satisfied as long as the communication connection with a server (for example, a smart home server) is maintained. Further, an electronic device with lower power consumption than the first electronic device is a preferable second electronic device.

Optionally, the second electronic device may wake up more smart home devices in addition to the smart television. That is, there may be multiple smart home devices designating their wake-up devices as the second electronic devices.

As shown in fig. 6, an exemplary flow of a co-wakeup step in a method for co-waking a first electronic device according to an embodiment of the present application may include:

S601, the network call application process in the intelligent television is killed, and the intelligent television enters a low-power consumption state.

And if the network call application process in the intelligent television is killed, the intelligent television does not run the network call application.

Further, for example, the smart television may enter a low power consumption state according to a user indication or automatically. For example, when the user does not use the smart television, the remote controller may be used to control the smart television to enter a low power consumption state (e.g., power off, etc., the television is still powered on) to save power consumption. For another example, when the smart television does not receive the instruction within the preset duration D after executing the certain instruction, and the smart television does not execute the specific task (for example, playing the video) within the preset duration D, the smart television can automatically enter a low power consumption state to save power consumption.

Optionally, the smart tv does not run a push process.

Optionally, the push process of the smart television is also killed.

Illustratively, after the smart television enters the low power consumption state, the CPU of the smart television is in the WFI state, and the CPU of the smart television enters the WFI state. At this time, most of the operating system and the application programs are no longer run by the CPU of the smart tv. Therefore, compared with the CPU in the working state, when the CPU is in the WFI state, the power consumption of the intelligent television is smaller.

Illustratively, as shown in (1) in fig. 7B, the smart tv may rest on the screen when the smart tv is in a low power consumption state.

Illustratively, the network telephony application is a smooth connection application.

S602, the network call server receives a call request sent by the intelligent mobile phone through the network call application.

The call request illustratively includes information such as the identity of the called party, the identity of the calling party, and the type of call (e.g., video call, audio call).

S603, the network call server sends a call request to the intelligent television through the network call application; and within a first preset time length after the call request is sent, the network call server does not receive the response of the intelligent television through the network call application.

It can be understood that the intelligent television is provided with a network call application (terminal side), and the network call server is correspondingly provided with a corresponding network call application (server side), so that the intelligent television and the network call server realize the service of network call through the respective network call applications.

The intelligent television is in a low power consumption state, and the intelligent television does not run the network call application (for example, a smooth connection application), so that the intelligent television cannot receive a call request sent by the network call server through the network call application, and cannot respond to the network call server through the network call application. And in the first preset time after the call request is sent, if the network call server does not receive the response of the intelligent television through the network call application, the network call server executes S604 or S605.

It should be noted that, if the network call server does not install a push application or a push service, and the operating system of the network call server does not integrate the push service, the network call server executes S605; if the push application or the push service is installed on the network call server, or if the push service is integrated with the operating system of the network call server, S604 is executed.

If the intelligent television is in a working state and a network call application (for example, a smooth connection application) is operated, the intelligent television receives the call request through the network call application and returns a response.

It should be noted that, in the present application, running the network call application means running the network call application, and logging in successfully.

S604, the network call server sends a push message to the intelligent television, and the network call server does not receive the response of the intelligent television within a second preset time length after sending the call request.

The push message includes an identifier of the smart phone and an identifier of the network call application, so that the smart television automatically opens the network call application according to the identifier of the network call application after receiving the push message.

It should be noted that, executing S604 requires that the operating system of the network call server is integrated with a push service, or that the network call server is installed with a push application or a push service, the network call server may send a push message to the smart tv.

It should be noted that, after the network call server sends the push message to the smart tv, the network call server does not stop sending the call request to the smart tv through the network call application, but continues to send the call request to the smart tv through the network call application.

If the intelligent television is not provided with the push application or the push service and the operating system of the intelligent television is not integrated with the push service, the intelligent television cannot receive the push message and cannot respond to the push message of the network call server.

S605, the network call server sends a first message to the intelligent home server, and the first message is used for indicating to wake up the intelligent television.

Illustratively, the first message includes an identification of the smart television for indicating to wake up the smart television.

S606, the intelligent home server determines that the intelligent sound box is wake-up equipment of the intelligent television.

The smart home server searches the wake-up device corresponding to the smart television according to the identifier of the smart television in the first message after receiving the first message from the network call server. For example, the smart home server determines that the wake-up device corresponding to the smart television is the smart sound box according to the binding relationship shown in table 1.

S607, the intelligent home server sends a second message to the intelligent sound box, wherein the second message is used for indicating the intelligent sound box to wake up the intelligent television.

Illustratively, the second message includes an identification of the smart television (i.e., an identification of the awakened device).

The second message may also, for example, not include an identification of the smart television (i.e., an identification of the awakened device).

In some examples, the second message may also include wake-up information. The wake-up information may include a specific wake-up instruction; the intelligent television only wakes up after receiving a specific wake-up instruction. The specific wake-up instruction may be pre-stored in the smart tv.

In other examples, the smart television (i.e., the awakened device) pre-stores the identity of the smart speaker (i.e., the awakening device), and the smart television will only wake up after receiving the awakening message containing the identity of the smart speaker.

S608, the intelligent sound box sends a wake-up message to the intelligent television through the pre-established short-distance wireless communication connection.

In S601, the MCU and/or the wireless communication module of the smart tv are still in the working state when the smart tv is in the low power consumption state.

Further, optionally, before the smart television performs S601, the smart television establishes a short-range wireless communication connection (e.g., a bluetooth connection, a Wi-Fi connection, etc.) with the smart speaker. In one embodiment, after the process shown in fig. 5 is performed, the smart tv may establish a short-range wireless communication connection with the smart speaker.

Optionally, after the smart tv performs S601, the smart tv establishes a short-range wireless communication connection (e.g., a bluetooth connection, a Wi-Fi connection, etc.) with the smart speaker. Thus, when S602 is performed, the smart tv has established a short-range wireless communication connection with the smart speaker.

Therefore, after receiving the second message sent by the smart home server, the smart sound box can send a wake-up message to the smart television through the short-distance wireless communication connection.

In other examples, the smart speakers may also establish a wired communication connection with the smart television. For example, the smart speaker may also establish a wired communication connection with the smart television through a cable. The embodiment of the application does not limit the communication connection mode of the intelligent sound box and the intelligent television.

S609, after receiving the wake-up message from the intelligent sound box, the intelligent television is waken up, and the intelligent television starts the network call application.

In some examples, after the smart television receives the wake-up message of the smart speaker, the MCU of the smart television may send an interrupt to the CPU in the WFI low power state, to instruct the CPU to switch from the WFI low power state to the normal operating state.

In some examples, the network telephony application may be set as an application that automatically starts upon waking up the smart tv. Then, after the CPU of the intelligent television is switched to a normal working state, the intelligent television can automatically start the network call application.

S610, the intelligent television displays a call interface of the network call application.

Illustratively, the smart television can display the call interface 711 as shown in (2) in fig. 7B without the user having to wake up the smart television manually.

S611, the intelligent television receives the answering instruction of the user.

The user answering instruction may be an operation of a control for answering a call in a call interface of the network call application by a user, or may be a voice input of the user, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

S612, sending a response of agreeing to answer to the smart phone by the smart television through the network call application via the network call server, and establishing call connection with the smart phone.

It should be noted that, for the method for co-waking up the first electronic device provided in the embodiment of the present application, the method may not include S610-S612; i.e. the first electronic device has been co-woken up by the third electronic device at S609.

Optionally, the method may also include all or part of S610-S612.

Therefore, the technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the application can be used for simultaneously reducing the power consumption and the quick and even instant response, or can be used for well balancing the requirement of reducing the power consumption of the first electronic equipment and the requirement of the quick and even instant response of the first electronic equipment, and improving the user experience. Therefore, the first electronic equipment and the second electronic equipment can be used more economically, the concept of energy conservation and emission reduction is met, and meanwhile, the quick and even instant response of various requirements can still be met, namely the convenience of users is met.

It should be noted that, in the above embodiment, the network call service between the smart television and the mobile phone is taken as an example, and a solution that when the first electronic device is in a low power consumption state, the third electronic device needs to call the first electronic device, and the first electronic device cannot give consideration to quick or even instant response while keeping low power consumption is described.

It should be noted that the network call server and the smart home server may be integrated into one server. The server may be a cloud server, for example. Optionally, the integrated server may also integrate more functions (e.g., functions of other servers).

Alternatively, the network call server and the smart home server may be integrated into a type of server. The class of servers may be cloud servers, for example. Optionally, the integrated server may also integrate more functions (e.g., functions of other servers).

After the network call server and the intelligent home server are integrated, the communication flow between the network call server and the intelligent home server can be omitted.

Still take the first electronic device as a smart television, and the third electronic device as a smart phone as an example. The smart phone may also be a method or a process shown in fig. 8 by calling the smart tv through a network call application. It should be emphasized that in the technical solution provided in the embodiments of the present application, the first electronic device is not limited to a smart tv, and the third electronic device is not limited to a smart phone. The third electronic device may also be other electronic devices (e.g., smart home devices such as smart doorbell, etc.). Illustratively, the third electronic device is a smart doorbell that may install or run a web-talk application.

Further, optionally, before the smart tv performs S801, the smart tv establishes a short-range wireless communication connection (e.g., a bluetooth connection, a Wi-Fi connection, etc.) with the smart home server. In one embodiment, after the process shown in fig. 5 is performed, the smart tv may establish a short-range wireless communication connection with the smart home server.

Optionally, after the smart tv performs S801, the smart tv establishes a short-range wireless communication connection (e.g., a bluetooth connection, a Wi-Fi connection, etc.) with the smart home server. Thus, at the execution of S802, the smart tv has established a short-range wireless communication connection with the smart home server.

Therefore, after receiving the first message sent by the network call server, the intelligent home server can send a wake-up message to the intelligent television through the short-distance wireless communication connection.

S806-S809: are the same as S610-S612, respectively; the only difference is that the wake-up message is not from the smart speaker, but from the smart home server; see for details S610-S612, which are not described in detail herein.

When the flow shown in fig. 8 is executed, the corresponding display interface of the smart television is shown in fig. 7A-7B, and the description corresponding to the flow shown in fig. 6 can be specifically referred to; and will not be described in detail herein.

This short-range wireless communication connection may have been established prior to S901; it may be established after S901 and before S902.

S907, after the intelligent television receives the awakening message, the intelligent television is awakened.

The intelligent television is awakened, and the intelligent television is in a working state. And the circuits or devices such as the CPU of the intelligent television resume operation.

The intelligent television establishes or resumes the communication connection with the intelligent home server.

S908, the intelligent television sends a response message to the intelligent doorbell through the intelligent home server.

S909, the intelligent doorbell sends video data to the intelligent television through an integrated or connected camera.

The video data is data collected or shot by the camera.

The camera takes pictures, for example, at certain time intervals. And the intelligent doorbell sends the data corresponding to the photographed photo to the intelligent television through the intelligent home server.

Illustratively, the camera captures video data for a period of time. The intelligent doorbell sends the collected video data to the intelligent television through the intelligent home server.

Illustratively, the camera captures video data in real time. The intelligent doorbell sends the collected video data to the intelligent television in real time. Thus, the intelligent television can display the video data provided by the camera in real time.

S910, the intelligent television displays the picture provided by the camera.

Illustratively, the smart television displays video pictures in real time according to video data provided by the smart doorbell.

The smart television displays the photo in real time according to the data corresponding to the photo provided by the smart doorbell.

Therefore, as the screen of the intelligent television is larger and is usually positioned at a position which is convenient for a user to watch, the user can conveniently and rapidly observe the condition outside the door through the intelligent television.

Optionally, the user may also conduct a dialogue with the guest through the smart television. At this time, the intelligent doorbell may be integrated with a speaker; or a loudspeaker is arranged on the door or near the door, and the loudspeaker and the intelligent television are in communication connection in advance.
