Description

Standby control device and method

Technical Field

Background

With the development of technology, the intelligence of electronic devices, such as smart televisions, has been gradually increased. However, in the daily use process, the power consumption of these electronic devices is large due to a large number of intelligent modules, and for example, electronic devices capable of performing voice interaction often need to keep the power supply state of the voice receiving module all the time to ensure real-time control when a user sends a voice. In order to solve the power consumption problem of the electronic device, manufacturers generally set the electronic device to a standby state, and in the case of smart tv, generally set a mode such as a screen-off mode or an STR standby mode for the smart tv. The screen-off mode is, as the name implies, only the screen of the smart television is turned off, and the rest of the electronic devices are still in a charged state, while the STR standby mode (Suspend to RAM, abbreviated as STR) is a standby state in which the running data is stored in the RAM of the memory, so that the memory is in a charged state.

At present, in the use process of electronic equipment such as a smart television, when power consumption needs to be reduced, especially when a user no longer needs to watch or use the electronic equipment, the electronic equipment is often controlled to a screen-off mode or an STR standby mode, but in the standby process of the two modes, although power consumption of a part of devices is reduced, power needs to be provided for the part of devices, for example, devices such as a memory need to be powered, so that power consumption in a conventional standby control process is still high, and the requirement of the user for energy saving is difficult to meet.

Detailed Description

Exemplary embodiments of the present application will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the present application are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present application may be embodied in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the disclosure to those skilled in the art.

It is to be noted that, unless otherwise specified, technical terms or scientific terms used herein shall have the ordinary meaning as understood by those skilled in the art to which this application belongs.

An embodiment of the present application provides a block diagram of a standby control apparatus, as shown in fig. 1, the apparatus includes:

the first determining unit 11 may be configured to obtain an apparatus state of an electronic apparatus, and determine whether the apparatus state is a first standby state, where the first standby state includes a screen-off state and a suspend standby state, and the suspend standby state may be used to represent a standby state in which operation data of the electronic apparatus is stored in a memory;

a first determining unit 12, configured to determine whether the electronic device meets a standby control condition based on a first network usage state when the device state is determined to be the first standby state, where the first network usage state may be used to characterize a usage of a network to which the electronic device is connected;

a first control unit 13, operable to control the electronic device to switch the device state to a second standby state when it is determined that the standby control condition is met; when the electronic device is in the second standby state, the memory of the electronic device is in a power-down state.

In the using process of electronic equipment such as a television and the like, sometimes, a user does not need to continue playing, and only needs to keep a standby state which can be used at any time, in the process, the electronic equipment does not actually need to have all devices inside the electronic equipment in a charged state, for example, the electronic equipment such as the television, a tablet personal computer and the like with an image playing function can close a display device with the highest power consumption in the standby process, so that the power consumption in the standby process is reduced, namely, a screen-off mode is adopted. Because many devices inside the electronic device are still in a charged state during the standby process of the conventional standby process, such as the screen-off mode or the STR mode, for example, the devices are still in a charged state during the standby process, such devices consume power during the standby process, so that the power consumption of the electronic device is still high during the standby process.

In view of this, in the present embodiment, in order to further reduce power consumption during standby of the electronic device, it may be first determined whether the device state of the electronic device is the first standby state, that is, whether the current electronic device is already in the normal screen-off state or the suspend standby state (STR state), based on the first determining unit 11 after acquiring the device state of the electronic device.

Whereas when it is determined that the electronic apparatus has entered the first standby state, this indicates that the user may temporarily have no intention to use the electronic apparatus, in order to further ensure that the user does not temporarily need to use the electronic apparatus, it is also necessary in this process to determine whether the electronic apparatus meets the standby control condition through the first network use state based on the first determining unit 12 when it is determined that the apparatus state is the first standby state. Since the dependence on the network is very serious in the current life of people, the network is required for work, study and life, such as remote office, communication with company personnel, online lessons, games or entertainment through the network, and the like. Therefore, the current communication interaction situation in the same network with the electronic equipment can be determined based on the first network usage state, namely, the usage situation of the network can determine whether the current user is in a rest state or leaves the area covered by the network.

For example, when the user leaves the network coverage area, the usage of the network may be "idle", that is, the amount of data is small, and the first network usage state is an idle state, which indicates that the user no longer needs to use the electronic device, and it can be determined that the current electronic device meets the standby control condition based on the first network usage state.

When the first determination unit 12 determines that the electronic apparatus meets the standby control condition, the apparatus state of the electronic apparatus may be switched based on the first control unit 13, that is, the electronic apparatus is switched from the first standby state to the second standby state. In the present embodiment, the second standby state may be understood as a standby state different from the screen-off state and the suspend standby state. In the second standby state, the memory of the electronic device does not need to be powered, and the thread, the running data and other contents which need to be started when the electronic device runs can be stored in the hard disk in advance in the switching process, so that the data stored in the hard disk can store the information and the data even if the hard disk is powered off based on the property of the hard disk, and the electronic device can perform the power-off operation on the devices including the memory and the hard disk when the electronic device is in the second standby state. In this embodiment, the second standby state is mainly implemented based on a PMU, where the Power Management module, also called Power Management Unit (PMU), is a microcontroller for controlling Power supply function of the digital platform, and is widely applied to various intelligent electronic devices, and has many components similar to a general computer, including firmware and software, a memory, a CPU, an input/output function, a timer for measuring time intervals, and an analog-to-digital converter for measuring voltage of a main battery or a Power supply. In an electronic device, even if the electronic device is completely turned off, the power management module is powered by a standby battery, that is, the PMU is one of a few devices that maintain an active state. Thus, when switching the device state of the electronic device to the second standby state, this may be performed by the PMU. In the process, the processor, the memory, the hard disk and most other devices of the electronic equipment can be in the power-off state, so that compared with the first standby state, the power consumption of the processor, the memory and other devices can be obviously reduced, and the whole standby power consumption can be reduced.

Therefore, in the standby control process of the embodiment of the present application, because the electronic device does not need to supply power to the memory in the second standby control state, compared with the off-screen state or the STR suspend standby state, the power consumption of the memory during power supply is reduced in the standby control process, so that the overall power consumption of the electronic device in the standby control process is reduced as a whole, and the requirements of the user on energy conservation and environmental protection are met. Meanwhile, after the first judging unit judges that the equipment state is the first standby state, whether the electronic equipment meets the standby control condition is determined through the first determining unit based on the first network use state, so that whether the electronic equipment really needs to be switched to the standby state is determined based on the first network use state before the electronic equipment is switched to the second standby state from the first standby state, the situation that the standby state of the electronic equipment is switched to the second standby state in advance by mistake when a user is still active based on the network use condition is avoided, unnecessary misoperation is avoided, and when the user needs to wake up the electronic equipment, because the memory of the electronic equipment in the first standby state is powered, the use state of the electronic equipment can be restored through the memory directly compared with the second standby state, and the electronic equipment can be used by the user at any time.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 2, the apparatus further comprises:

a second determining unit 14, configured to determine whether a state control instruction is received, where the state control instruction includes a first instruction and a second instruction, the first instruction may be used to instruct to switch the device state of the electronic device to the first standby state, and the second instruction may be used to instruct to switch the device state of the electronic device to the second standby state;

a second control unit 15, configured to switch the device state of the electronic device to the first standby state when it is determined that the state control instruction is the first instruction;

a third control unit 16, configured to switch the device state of the electronic device to the second standby state when it is determined that the state control instruction is the second instruction.

Since the user may need to directly control the device state of the electronic device in daily use of the electronic device, in this embodiment, it may also be determined whether a state control instruction is received directly based on the second determination unit 14, where the state control instruction may be divided into two types, one type is a first instruction indicating that the electronic device enters the first standby state, and the other type is a second instruction indicating that the electronic device enters the second standby state.

When it is determined that the state control command is received based on the second determining unit 14, it needs to be determined which state control command is, and when it is determined that the state control command is the first command, it indicates that the device state of the electronic device needs to be switched to the first standby state, and here, the switching may be performed based on the second controlling unit 15; when it is determined that the status instruction is specifically the second instruction, it indicates that the device status of the electronic device needs to be switched to the second standby state, and then the switching may be performed based on the third control unit 16. In this way, whether the state control instruction is received or not is directly judged through the second judgment, and the device state of the electronic device is controlled to be switched to the first standby state or the second standby state by the second control unit 15 and the third control unit 16 respectively based on whether the state control instruction is the first instruction or the second instruction, so that the effect of directly controlling the device state based on the user instruction is achieved, especially when the state control instruction is the second instruction, the device state of the electronic device can be directly switched to the second standby state, the process of determining whether the electronic device meets the standby control condition based on the first network use state is omitted, the effect of directly controlling the electronic device to enter the second standby state based on the user instruction is achieved, the standby control process is ensured to be more flexible, and the requirement of a user on real-time control of the device state is met.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 2, the apparatus further comprises:

a third determining unit 17, configured to determine whether a control instruction is received within a first preset time period, where the control instruction includes the state control instruction;

the fourth control unit 18 may be configured to switch the electronic device to the first standby state if no control instruction is received within a first preset time period.

In practical applications, there may be a case where the user does not perform an instruction operation on the electronic device for a certain period of time, for example, the user leaves the vicinity of the electronic device, or the user has already slept. In this case, it is also possible to perform an automated state switching operation on the device state of the electronic device at that time, for the purpose of power saving.

Based on this, in the present embodiment, it can be determined whether the control instruction is received within the first preset time period based on the third determining unit 17, and when it is determined that the electronic device does not receive the control instruction within the first preset time period, it indicates that the user may sleep or has left the electronic device, and at this time, it is necessary to switch the electronic device to the first standby state based on the fourth controlling unit 18. In this way, by using the fourth control unit 18 to automatically switch the device state of the electronic device to the first standby state when it is determined that the control instruction is not received within the first preset time period based on the third determination unit 17, an automatic standby method of the electronic device under the condition that the user does not operate the electronic device for a long time is realized, and after the electronic device enters the first standby state, a foundation is laid for determining whether to execute a further energy saving scheme based on the execution process of the foregoing embodiment, that is, whether to subsequently switch the electronic device from the first standby state to the second standby state.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 2, the apparatus further comprises:

the interaction unit 19 may be configured to output a prompt message and receive feedback information, where the prompt message may be used to indicate whether the user needs to switch the electronic device to the first standby state, and the feedback information is information input by the user after the prompt message prompts;

the fifth control unit 20 may be configured to, when it is determined that the feedback information is received and it is determined that the feedback information indicates to switch the device state of the electronic device to the first standby state, switch the electronic device to the first standby state based on the feedback information.

As can be seen from the foregoing description of the embodiment, there may be a case where the user does not perform any operation on the electronic device for a long time, that is, a control instruction is not issued to the electronic device within the first preset time period. However, in some cases, the user may be using the electronic device without performing control, for example, when the electronic device is a television, the user is always interested in the program played by the television, and a control instruction needs to be issued to the television currently playing the program within a first preset time period.

Therefore, in order to avoid that the device state of the electronic device is switched to the first standby state by mistake during the normal use of the electronic device by the user, according to the method of this embodiment, a prompt message is first output to the user based on the interaction unit 19 to prompt the user whether the electronic device needs to be switched to the first standby state currently, and if the user is using the electronic device at this time, the prompt message is responded, that is, a feedback message is issued. The feedback information may be two types, one type is that the user does not need to continue using the electronic device any longer, and the other type is that the user needs to continue using the electronic device, so after the fifth control unit 20 receives the feedback information, it is further required to determine which of the two types is the feedback information, and when it is determined that the feedback information indicates that the device state of the electronic device needs to be switched to the first standby state, it indicates that the user does not need to use the electronic device any longer, and then the electronic device may be switched to the first standby state based on the fifth control unit 20.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 2, the apparatus further comprises:

the sixth control unit 21 may be configured to switch the electronic device to the first standby state when it is determined that the feedback information is not received within a second preset time period.

Based on the foregoing description in the embodiment, after the prompt information is output to the user based on the interaction unit, there may be a case that the user has no feedback all the time, which indicates that the user may have slept or leave the area near the electronic device, and it is meaningless that the electronic device continues to operate at this time, and the device status of the electronic device needs to be adjusted for the purpose of saving energy. In this embodiment, the electronic device may be switched to the first standby state after determining that the feedback information is not received within the second preset period based on the sixth control unit 21. Therefore, the user is ensured to automatically switch the equipment state of the electronic equipment to the first standby state under the conditions that the user does not need the electronic equipment to continuously keep the running state and the user is at rest or away from the electronic equipment and the like, and the energy-saving effect is realized. Meanwhile, the electronic equipment is only switched to the first standby state, so that the method of the embodiment is further beneficial to be continuously utilized, after the electronic equipment enters the first standby state, the use condition of the network is continuously carried out, namely the first network use state is used for determining whether to continuously switch the electronic equipment to the second standby state or not, and a foundation is laid for subsequent operation. Meanwhile, the user can be ensured to wake up from the first standby state if the electronic equipment needs to be awakened in time subsequently, the process of supplying power to the processor, the memory and other devices of the electronic equipment again is saved, and quick awakening is facilitated.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 2, the first network usage state includes an idle state, where the idle state is used to characterize a state where a plurality of devices connected to the network do not exceed a preset threshold in communication density, and the communication density is used to characterize how dense each of the devices in the network communicates per unit time period;

the first determination unit 12 includes:

an obtaining module 121, configured to obtain first communication information of the network, where the first communication information includes traffic information, communication frequency information, and communication frequency information;

a determining module 122, configured to determine whether the first network usage state is the idle state according to the first communication information;

the first control unit 13 may be specifically configured to control the electronic device to switch the device state to a second standby state when it is determined that the first network usage state is the idle state.

Because the first network usage state is a parameter that characterizes a communication condition between devices in a network to which the electronic device belongs, the network usage condition can be divided into an idle state and a busy state, and the idle state can be understood as a state in which the communication density of the devices exceeds a preset threshold, where the specific embodiment form of the communication density may be a number throughput, that is, a data volume; the number of communications between devices; or the communication frequency between the devices in each time period, which is not limited herein, may be selected based on the specific form of the first communication information. In addition, in this embodiment, each device is a device connected to the electronic device in the same network, for example, a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a computer, or the like of the user.

In order to quantify the current first network usage state, in this embodiment, first, based on the obtaining module 121, first communication information for representing the first network usage state may be obtained, where the first communication information may be, as described above, traffic information representing a data amount, communication frequency information representing a communication frequency, and communication frequency information representing a busy situation of communication in each cycle. Then, the determining module 122 determines whether the first network usage status is an idle status based on the first communication information, for example, when the first network communication information is traffic information, it may be determined based on the traffic information and a traffic threshold, and when the traffic threshold is not reached, it may indicate that there is less communication and less traffic between devices in the current network, and then it may be determined that the first network usage status is an idle status.

When it is determined that the first network usage status is the idle status, it indicates that communication between other devices in the network where the current electronic device is located is less, and it indicates from the side that the user may already sleep or be far away from the area covered by the network, so the first control unit 13 may control the electronic device to switch the device status to the second standby status when it is determined that the first network usage status is the idle status.

It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the first communication information may be selected from any one or more of the above specific parameters according to the needs of the user, so as to ensure the accuracy of the determination result in determining the first network usage state.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 2, the apparatus further comprises:

a second determining unit 22, configured to obtain second communication information of the network, and determine whether the second network usage status is the busy status according to the second communication information; the second communication information comprises flow information, communication frequency information and communication frequency information; the busy state is used for representing a state that the communication density of a plurality of devices connected with the network exceeds a preset threshold value, and the communication density is determined based on at least one of the traffic information, the communication frequency information and the communication frequency information;

the seventh control unit 23 may be configured to switch the electronic device from the second standby state to the first standby state when it is determined that the second network usage state is the busy state.

As can be seen from the foregoing description about the first communication information, in the process of determining whether the second network usage state is a busy state, the determination may be actually performed based on the type of the parameter specifically included in the second communication information, for example, when the second communication information is communication frequency information, it may be determined whether a value in the communication frequency information exceeds a preset communication frequency threshold, and when the value exceeds the communication frequency threshold, it indicates that the number of communications between the devices in the network is large, and it can reflect that the user has gone from a sleep state to an awake state at this time, or the user has returned to an area covered by the network, so that a large number of communications are generated, and then it may be determined that the second network usage state is a busy state at this time, and the subsequent user may use the electronic device very likely.

Therefore, when it is determined that the second network usage state is the busy state, the device state of the electronic device may be controlled to be switched from the second standby state to the first standby state based on the seventh control unit 23.
