Description

Method and device for reducing power consumption

Technical Field

The application relates to the technical field of intelligent terminals, in particular to a method and a device for reducing power consumption.

Background

With the application of intelligent terminal devices becoming more and more extensive, wearable devices are also gradually supported by users, such as smart bracelets, smart glasses or smart headsets. Most of the current wearable devices can support the motion mode and can record the data of the motion state for the user. For example, the user sets the wearable device to a running mode, and the wearable device may record the running time, running distance, or track of the user, and monitor data such as heart rate of the user in a running state.

In an application scenario where the user sets the wearable device in the swimming mode, the wearable device is usually immersed in or out of water as the user frequently goes. Since the wireless communication functions of the wearable device, such as cellular signals and WiFi signals, are transmitted by using uhf radio, the corresponding wavelength is shorter, and the shorter the wavelength of the signal is, the more easily the signal is absorbed by water, therefore, when the user swims, the wearable device is immersed in water, the strength of the wireless signal is obviously weakened, and the wearable device needs to increase the signal transmission power to satisfy the transmission of data traffic; after the wearable device goes out of water, the wireless signal intensity detected at the moment obviously becomes stronger, so the wireless signal intensity is suddenly high and suddenly low in the swimming mode. As the wireless communication function of the wearable device changes significantly in and out of water, the wearable device may also frequently drop or request access to the network. In addition, with the change of the wireless signal strength of the wearable device after entering and exiting water, the wireless signal strength of the wearable device under different network standards may change frequently, and therefore, the wearable device may switch frequently between different network standards.

Therefore, in the swimming mode, the wireless signal of the wearable device is unstable, which may cause the transmission power of the wearable device to increase, or the wearable device needs to frequently perform network registration, or perform operations such as switching between different network systems, and the power consumption of the device increases, and the power consumption is obvious.

Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of the present embodiment, "a plurality" means two or more unless otherwise specified.

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

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

First, a wearable electronic device (wearable device for short) will be briefly described.

A wearable device refers to a portable electronic device that can be worn directly or on a user's body, or integrated into a user's clothing or accessories, such as a smart bracelet, a smart watch, a child watch, smart glasses, and the like. The wearable device can realize a communication function through data interaction or cloud service with other terminal devices.

Currently, wearable devices are generally provided with wireless communication functions, i.e., supporting wireless communication services. In the embodiments of the present application, the wireless communication function (wireless communication service) may refer to a function or a service that a terminal device has to send and receive short messages and/or receive and make calls.

The wearable device may also support wireless network functionality, i.e. support data services. When the data service switch of the wearable device is set to the on state, several wireless networks of different network systems, for example, a second Generation mobile communication technology (2 th Generation mobile communication technology, 2g), a third Generation mobile communication technology (3 rd Generation mobile communication technology,3 g), a fourth Generation mobile communication technology (4 th Generation mobile communication technology,4 g), a fifth Generation mobile communication technology (5 th Generation mobile communication technology,5 g), a next Generation mobile communication technology, and the like, are typically supported to implement data transceiving. Accordingly, when the data service switch of the device is set to an off state, the device does not support the wireless network function.

The network type indicates the type of the wireless network, and reselection or switching between different network types may occur along with the movement of the user terminal device. For example, if the current area is covered by a 5G signal, the terminal device may automatically access or switch to a 5G network; if the terminal device moves to an area without 5G signal coverage, the terminal device can automatically switch to a 4G, 3G or 2G network according to the detected wireless signal coverage condition of the area.

Generally, the switching principle of the network system is to preferentially select the network system with higher data transmission rate, and the switching premise is that the network system to be switched of the terminal equipment is set to be in an 'on' state. For example, a user sets a 5G network in the terminal device network setting to an "on" state, and when the terminal device is moved to an area covered by a 5G signal, the terminal device may automatically access the 5G network through network reselection or handover; when the 5G network in the terminal device network setting is set to the "off" state, the terminal device does not access or switch to the 5G network even if the terminal device is moved to the area covered by the 5G signal.

In addition, the wearable device can also support a Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) technology, and can implement Wireless network connection through WiFi to receive and transmit network data. Likewise, the user may set the WiFi functionality of the wearable device to "on" or "off.

For example, when the WiFi function of the wearable device is set to "on", the wearable device may periodically scan WiFi signals in the current environment range, for example, the wearable device may display information such as one or more currently detected WiFi signals and corresponding signal strength for the user; in addition, the wearable device can also automatically access operation such as WiFi according to preset WiFi automatic access setting and saved WiFi account numbers which are successfully accessed. When the WiFi function of the wearable device is set to be turned off, the wearable device cannot scan WiFi signals in the current environment range, the power consumption of the wearable device is saved, and therefore the power consumption of the wearable device can be effectively saved.

In addition, optionally, the wearable device may also support wireless Communication technologies such as bluetooth or Near Field Communication (NFC). Bluetooth and NFC are short-distance wireless communication, and the influence of frequent water entering or water leaving of the device on Bluetooth or NFC communication is not obvious.

In addition, it should be noted that the user may turn off the signal transmitting and receiving functions of the wearable device by setting the "flight mode" of the wearable device to "on". The "flight mode" is also called an aviation mode, and means that a user must turn off or turn on the flight mode to cut off all communication signals of the electronic device when taking an airplane or in other scenes, so as to prevent the transmission and reception of the communication signals from affecting the airplane flight or other scenes. For example, the "flight mode" may be set by turning off a signal transceiver of a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) of the electronic device.

The following scenario briefly describes the power consumption problem of the wearable device in the swimming mode.

In a first scene, wireless signals are weak underwater, and the transmitting power needs to be improved during data transmission.

At present, when a wearable device data service switch is turned on and is connected to a wireless network, the wearable device establishes a data connection with a network device for receiving and transmitting data packets.

The data packet sent by the wearable device may include service data, heartBeat packet (HeartBeat), and the like. The heartbeat packet is a data packet periodically transmitted by the terminal device to maintain synchronization with the server. The data volume of such periodic data packets is small, and may be referred to as packet transmission for short. The heartbeat package can be used for synchronizing data between the wearable device and the network device, or realizing transmission of control signals between the wearable device and the network device, and the like, so as to realize control on the state of the wearable device.

If the user wears the wearable device for swimming, the wireless signal is extremely weak due to the absorption of water after the wearable device enters the water, the transmission power needs to be increased when the wearable device sends the heartbeat packet to increase the strength of the transmission signal as much as possible, and even the transmission signal is transmitted at the maximum power, so that the power consumption of the device is increased. In addition, the transmission of the heartbeat packet may also fail and retry frequently, thereby further increasing the power consumption of the wearable device.

Scene two: the network is dropped, resulting in frequent re-establishment of data traffic.

If a user wears the wearable device for swimming, the wireless signal of the wearable device fluctuates obviously when entering and exiting water, and the wireless network changes frequently between service (with signal) and service (without signal). The wearable device can be disconnected due to the fact that the wireless network is out of service, namely the wearable device cannot search wireless network signals of any standard, and therefore the wearable device is disconnected from the wireless network of the network device.

After each network drop, the wearable device needs to request network registration from a network device (core network device) again, and initiate an activation operation of a data service to the network device. Therefore, frequent network loss may cause frequent network registration and data service reconstruction of the wearable device, which increases power consumption. In addition, during swimming, the wireless signal is weak, and the wearable device requests registration from the network device and initiates activation operation of data service, which may cause a situation of failed retry, so that the power consumption of the device is increased accordingly.

Scene three: and the network modes are frequently switched.

When the wearable device supports multiple network systems in 5G, 4G, 3G, 2G, or the like, and the network systems are set to an "on" state, signal fluctuation during swimming may cause signal intensities of different network systems detected by the wearable device to fluctuate frequently, thereby causing the wearable device to reselect or switch frequently between the different network systems.

For example, when the wearable device goes out of water, the detected signal of the 5G network is strongest, and the wearable device is connected to the 5G network. In the process of swimming of the user, after the wearable device enters water, the signal of the 5G network is weakened, and the signal of the 4G network is strongest, the wearable device reselects to access the 4G network, or the wearable device is switched from the 5G network to the 4G network.

At this time, the electronic device performs reselection and handover across network systems, and needs to report location area update to the network device, and the process of the reselection and handover is equivalent to requesting network registration from the network device (core network device), so that the power consumption of the device is increased accordingly.

Scene four: and the WiFi signal intensity is suddenly strong and weak, and the scanning is frequently carried out.

When the wearable device supports the WiFi function, the WiFi function is set to be in an 'on' state and is set to be automatically accessed to a recognizable WiFi network, if the wearable device is connected with WiFi signals in a swimming environment, the WiFi signal strength is weakened along with the fact that the wearable device frequently enters water in the swimming process of a user; wearable equipment frequently goes out water, and wiFi signal strength becomes strong. The WiFi signal strength is unstable, the wearable device is frequently disconnected from the WiFi network connection, and the wearable device can frequently scan WiFi signals, so that the power consumption of the device is further increased.

In all of the above four scenarios, the problem of increased power consumption of the wearable device due to unstable wireless signals in the swimming mode occurs.

The embodiment of the application provides a method and a device for reducing power consumption, which can be applied to electronic equipment, especially wearable equipment, and can be used in a swimming mode when a user wears or wears the wearable equipment or other specific working mode scenes which may influence the power consumption of the wearable equipment. Under this kind of scene, through restricting or closing the operation such as the wireless network function of some or whole to wearable equipment to reduce wearable equipment's consumption waste, improve wearable equipment's power consumption utilization ratio, thereby promote user's use experience.

The method for reducing power consumption provided by the embodiment of the application can be applied to an electronic device with a motion mode, and the electronic device can be a video camera, a smart camera, a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a desktop computer, a laptop computer, a handheld computer, a notebook computer, a vehicle-mounted device, an ultra-mobile personal computer (UMPC), a netbook, a cellular phone, a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), an Augmented Reality (AR), a Virtual Reality (VR), a wearable device, and the like.

The methods in the following embodiments may be implemented in the electronic device 100 having the hardware structure described in fig. 1 and the software structure shown in fig. 2. Next, the method provided by the embodiment of the present application will be described in detail with reference to fig. 1 and fig. 2. The following embodiments of the present application are described in detail by taking only an electronic device as a wearable device as an example.

As shown in fig. 3, an embodiment of the present application provides a method for reducing power consumption, which specifically includes the following steps.

301: the wearable device confirms that swimming mode is currently present.

In one embodiment, the wearable device may determine that the swimming mode is currently entered by receiving a first indication of a user input.

The first indication may specifically include an indication that the user clicks a virtual key (or an icon) or clicks an entity key, or an operation that the user sets a swimming mode to a voice command input by the user to the wearable device, which is not limited in this application.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 4, the wearable device is configured with a plurality of motion modes, including a running mode, a swimming mode, etc., and the user can set the wearable device to the swimming mode through key operation or voice instructions.

Alternatively, in another embodiment, the wearable device may automatically determine that the swimming mode is currently active, and in particular, the wearable device may automatically recognize the environmental parameters and confirm that the swimming mode is currently active through built-in sensors. For example, the wearable device may automatically set to the swimming mode according to the collected motion state of the user or by detecting that the device is in a water entering state through an acceleration sensor, a gyroscope, a water pressure sensor, or a barometer, and the like, and the specific identification manner is not limited in the present application.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the wearable device is in the swimming mode or enters the swimming mode, which may mean that the operating mode set by the wearable device is the "swimming mode". The wearable device is in a swimming mode or enters the swimming mode, and the wearable device may also recognize that the current user motion state is a swimming state, or detect that the current device is in a water entering state, and the like, and record that the current device state is the swimming mode. At this time, the operation mode of the wearable device may be set to "swimming mode", or the wearable device may not be set to "swimming mode" if the wearable device does not have a function of setting "swimming mode". This is not limited by the present application.

302: the wearable device shuts down the wireless network.

Specifically, the first function of the wireless network may be turned off. The first function of the wireless network may include one or more of a wireless data service, a WiFi function, a wireless communication service, and the like in at least one network format. Closing the wireless network means closing one or more of wireless data service, wiFi function and wireless communication service in at least one network system.

For example, when the wearable device confirms that the swimming mode is currently entered, the wireless data service is turned off, or the wireless data service of the 5G network or at least one other network system is turned off, or the WiFi function is turned off, or the wireless data service and the WiFi function may be turned off simultaneously, or the wireless data service and the wireless communication service may be turned off simultaneously, or the wearable device may be set to the flight mode, that is, all the wireless transceiving functions are turned off.

It should be noted that, in the embodiments of the present application, turning off the wireless data service and the wireless communication service simultaneously is collectively referred to as turning off the cellular network, and this will not be described in the following embodiments.

Therefore, in the swimming process of a user, the wearable device closes part or all of the wireless network functions, so that the change of the wireless network signal intensity caused by the water entering and the water exiting of the wearable device in the swimming process is weakened, the power consumption of the wireless network caused by the change is effectively reduced, and the power consumption utilization rate of the device is improved.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 5, before the step 302, the method may further include the following steps:

303: the wearable device determines that the current wireless network state meets a preset condition.

The wearable device determines that the current wireless network state meets a preset condition, which may specifically include meeting at least one of the following conditions: and determining that the current wireless network state is a network drop state, or determining that the current network system is switched from a network system with a higher priority to a network system with a lower priority, or determining that the current wireless signal strength meets a preset condition. The higher the data transmission rate corresponding to the network type is, the higher the priority of the network type is. For example, the transmission rate of the 5G network is higher than that of the 4G network, and therefore, the priority of the 5G network system is higher than that of the 5G network system. The network drop state refers to a state that the wearable device cannot search for wireless network signals of any standard.

In one embodiment, the wireless signal strength satisfying the preset condition may be that the wireless signal strength is less than or equal to a preset threshold. The radio Signal Strength may be represented by parameters such as Reference Signal Receiving Power (RSRP), received Signal Code Power (RSCP), or Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI).

Specifically, the wearable device may be preconfigured with one or more preset thresholds corresponding to the wireless signal strength, and when it is determined that the wireless signal strength meets the preset condition, that is, the wireless signal strength is less than or equal to the preset threshold, the wearable device may close the wireless network.

For example, the WiFi signal strength preset by the wearable device corresponds to a first threshold, and when the wearable device is in the swimming mode and it is determined that the current WiFi signal strength is less than or equal to the first threshold, the wearable device turns off the WiFi function. Or the 5G network signal corresponds to a second threshold, and when the wearable device is in the swimming mode and the current 5G network signal strength is determined to be less than the second threshold, the wearable device closes the 5G network data service. Or the wireless communication service corresponds to a third threshold value, the wireless network service corresponds to a fourth threshold value, and when the wearable device is in the swimming mode and the current wireless communication signal strength is determined to be smaller than the third threshold value and the wireless network signal strength is determined to be smaller than the fourth threshold value, the wearable device closes the cellular network.

It should be noted that, in the wearable device in the swimming mode, the wireless signal strength may be small and large, and at this time, the wearable device determines whether the current wireless signal strength meets the preset condition, and may determine whether the average value of the wireless signal strength in the unit time meets the preset condition. For example, if the preset unit time is 10s, the wearable device may determine whether to turn off the 5G network data service by determining whether the average value of the 5G network signal strength detected within 10s is smaller than the second threshold.

Several implementations will be described in detail below with reference to detailed embodiments, which are not described herein.

In order to reduce the impact of the wearable device turning off the wireless network on the wireless service of the user, in one embodiment, as shown in fig. 6, after step 302, the method may further include the following steps:

304: the wearable device confirms the current non-swimming mode and starts the wireless network.

Wherein the wearable device confirms the current non-swimming mode, i.e. may exit the swimming mode. The wearable device may receive a key indication or voice indication of the user to exit the swimming mode, or the wearable device may determine to exit the swimming mode by automatically detecting the current user state or device state.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the wearable device may be in a non-swimming mode or a swimming exiting mode, where the wearable device is set in an operating mode other than the "swimming mode", or the wearable device recognizes that the current user motion state is not a swimming state, or detects that the current device is in a water outlet state for a long time, and the wearable device records that the current device state is not the swimming mode.

Specifically, after the wearable device exits the swimming mode, according to the step 302, one or more of the wireless data service, the WiFi function, the wireless communication service, and the like in the at least one network system that is turned off are turned back on, that is, the wireless communication or the wireless data transmission of the wearable device is resumed. For example, if the first function of the wireless network turned off in step 302 is wireless data service, then the first function of the wireless network, that is, the wireless data service, may be turned on in step 304.

In combination with the above method, in one possible implementation, as shown in fig. 7, the wearable device may include the following functional modules: a motion pattern setting or identifying module 701, a logic processing module 702, a WiFi module 703, and a wireless communication module 704. The wireless communication module is also referred to as a modem module, among others.

The motion mode setting or identifying module 701 is used for setting the wearable device to enter a swimming mode or exit the swimming mode; also, the swim mode may also send a state generation notification message to the logic processing module 702 that the wearable device enters or exits the swim mode.

The logic processing module 702 is configured to modify the wireless communication service capability according to a preset optimization scheme, for example, turn off or turn on the wireless network, and notify the wireless communication module 704 and/or the WiFi module 703 of performing a change of the wireless communication capability after receiving the notification message of the state that the wearable device enters or exits the swimming mode.

The wireless communication module 704 is used to perform limiting of the capabilities of the cellular network, mainly including turning on and off of wireless data, and turning on and off of wireless communication services.

The WiFi module 703 is configured to turn on or turn off a WiFi switch, so as to turn on or turn off a WiFi function of the device. When the WiFi module 703 is in a WiFi on state, it is configured to perform WiFi signal scanning, and may also be configured to access a wireless local area network according to a scanned WiFi signal.

Several possible implementations are exemplarily described below with reference to steps 301 to 304 in the foregoing embodiments and the functional block diagram of fig. 7.

The first embodiment,

In the swimming mode, the wearable device disables part of network modes or sets at least one available network mode, and the wearable device only detects or accesses the other network modes except the disabled network mode or only detects or accesses the available network mode.

Specifically, when the wearable device determines to enter the swimming mode, the motion mode setting or identifying module 701 notifies the logic processing module 702 to enter the swimming mode, and the logic processing module 702 notifies the wireless communication module 704 to set at least one available network standard, or notifies the wireless communication module 704 to disable a part of network standards, and only searches for a reserved network standard.

Or, in another embodiment, when the wearable device determines to enter the swimming mode, the motion mode setting or identifying module 701 notifies the logic processing module 702 to enter the swimming mode, and the logic processing module 702 may notify the wireless communication module 704 to set at least one available network standard according to the currently detected wireless network signal state, or notify the wireless communication module 704 to disable a part of network standards and only search for a reserved network standard.

After the wearable device exits the swimming mode, the disabled network system is recovered by the wearable device, or the available network system is updated or set to be supported by the wearable device.

For example, after the wearable device enters the swimming mode, the 5G network and the 4G network are disabled, that is, the available network standards are set as the 2G network and the 3G network, so that power consumption caused by frequent switching from the 2G/3G network to the 4G/5G network is avoided. And when the wearable device exits the swimming mode, the disabling of the 5G network and the 4G network is cancelled, namely the currently available network modes are updated to be the 2G network, the 3G network, the 5G network and the 4G network.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 8, the implementation process inside the wearable device may include the following steps:

1. the sport mode setting or identification module enters swimming mode. Specifically, the swimming mode may be entered in response to a setting by the user. Alternatively, the sport mode setting or identification module enters the swimming mode by automatic identification.

2. The motion mode setting or identification module sends a first message to the logic processing module, the first message indicating entry into a swimming mode.

3. And the logic processing module disables the network system with weaker signal according to the detected wireless signal strength. Or, part of the network systems may be directly disabled without determining the strength of the wireless signal.

In one embodiment, when the wearable device is operating normally, the wireless communication module modem reports the service status or the wireless signal strength of the wireless network to the logic processing module. If the logic processing module determines that the current service state or the wireless signal strength of the wireless network meets the preset condition according to the service state reported by the modem, the logic processing module notifies the wireless communication module 704 to disable part of network systems.

Specifically, the logic processing module may determine that the current wearable device is switched from the network standard with the higher priority to the network standard with the lower priority (for example, switched from a 4G network to a 3G or 2G network), and then the logic processing module determines that the signal of the network standard with the higher priority is weak and may be disabled. For example, if the logic processing module determines that the current 4G signal is weak, the 4G network system is disabled.

Or, in another embodiment, if the logic processing module determines, according to the wireless signal strength reported by the modem, that the wireless signal strength in the currently registered network type is lower than the preset threshold, the logic processing module determines that the wireless network signal in the network type is weak and may be disabled. For example, if the strength of the 4G signal reported by the current modem is lower than a preset threshold corresponding to the 4G network type, the logic processing module determines that the 4G signal is weak, and disables the 4G network type.

Specifically, the wireless Signal Strength may be represented by parameters such as Reference Signal Receiving Power (RSRP), received Signal Code Power (RSCP), or Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI).

For example, the preset threshold corresponding to the 5G network RSRP of the wearable device is set to-120dbm, the preset threshold corresponding to the 4G network RSRP is set to-120dbm, the preset threshold corresponding to the 3G network RSRP is set to-112dbm, and the preset threshold corresponding to the RSSI of the 2G network is set to-109 dBm. Then when the RSRP of the 5G network detected by the wireless communication module of the wearable device is lower than-120 dBm, or the RSRP of the 4G network is lower than-120 dBm, or the RSCP of the 3G network is lower than-112 dBm, or the RSSI of the 2G network is lower than-109 dBm, the wireless communication module may determine that the corresponding network standard signal is weak.

4. And the logic processing module sends a second message to the wireless communication module, wherein the second message indicates to close the wireless network corresponding to the forbidden network type.

5. And after receiving the second message, the wireless communication module only resides and searches part of available network formats.

6. The sport mode setting or identification module exits the swimming mode. Specifically, the swimming mode may be exited in response to a setting by the user. Alternatively, the sport mode setting or identification module exits the swimming mode by automatic identification.

7. The motion mode setting or identifying module sends a third message to the logic processing module, and the third message indicates that the swimming mode exits.

8. The logic processing module cancels the forbidding to part of the network systems, namely, recovers all the network systems to be available network systems.

9. And the logic processing module sends a fourth message to the wireless communication module, wherein the fourth message indicates that the forbidding of the network system is canceled.

10. And after receiving the fourth message, the wireless communication module recovers all network systems and searches for the network or registers the network again according to all the network systems.

Through the implementation mode, the power consumption problem described in the third scenario can be effectively solved, namely, part of network systems are forbidden, so that the problem of power consumption increase caused by frequent reselection or cutting of wearable equipment among different network systems in the swimming process is avoided, the power consumption utilization rate of the equipment is improved, and the user experience is improved.

Example II,

In the swimming mode, the wearable device may close the data service switch, and after closing the data service switch, the wearable device may not receive and transmit the data service. At this time, the wearable device still has a wireless communication function, namely, services of receiving and sending short messages and receiving and calling can be carried out.

Specifically, when the wearable device determines to enter the swimming mode, the motion mode setting or recognition module 701 notifies the logic processing module 702 to enter the swimming mode, the logic processing module 702 completes the setting of turning off the data service switch, and the logic processing module 702 notifies the wireless communication module 704 to deactivate the data service. Further, the wireless communication module 704 requests the network device to deactivate data service and tear down the established data link.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 9, the implementation process inside the wearable device may include the following steps:

1. the sport mode setting or identification module enters a swimming mode in response to a user's setting. Alternatively, the sport mode setting or identification module enters the swimming mode by automatic identification.

3. And the logic processing module sets the data service switch to be in a closed state according to the first message.

4. The logic processing module sends a second message to the wireless communication module, and the second message indicates to close the data service switch;

5. and after receiving the second message, the wireless communication module requests the network equipment to deactivate the data service.

6. The sport mode setting or identification module exits the swimming mode in response to a user setting. Alternatively, the sport mode setting or identification module exits the swimming mode by automatic identification.

7. The motion mode setting or identifying module sends a third message to the logic processing module, and the third message indicates to exit the swimming mode.

8. And the logic processing module sets the data service switch to be in an open state.

9. The logic processing module sends a fourth message to the wireless communication module, and the fourth message indicates to start the data service;

10. and after receiving the fourth message, the wireless communication module requests the network equipment to activate the data service.

Through the implementation mode, the power consumption problem described in the first scene and the second scene can be effectively solved, namely, the data switch is turned off, so that the problem that the wearable equipment improves the transmitting power in the swimming process or the power consumption is increased due to frequent data service reconstruction caused by network drop is avoided, the power consumption utilization rate of the equipment is improved, and the use experience of a user is improved.

Example III,

In the swimming mode, the wearable device may turn off the cellular network, i.e., set the wearable device's modem module to the radio off state. After the cellular network is closed, the modem module stops searching for the network and registering the network, and the wearable device cannot receive and send data services and cannot receive and send short messages and receive and make calls.

Specifically, when the wearable device determines to enter the swimming mode, the motion mode setting or recognition module 701 notifies the logic processing module 702 to enter the swimming mode, the logic processing module 702 determines to close the cellular network, and notifies the wireless communication module 704 to set the radio off state.

Alternatively, in another embodiment, after the motion mode setting or identifying module 701 notifies the logic processing module 702 to enter the swimming mode, the logic processing module 702 may determine whether to close the cellular network according to the currently detected wireless network signal state, determine to close the cellular network if it is determined that the current wireless network signal state satisfies the preset condition, and notify the wireless communication module 704 to set the radio off state.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 10, the implementation process inside the wearable device may include the following steps:

1. the sport mode setting or identification module enters a swimming mode in response to a user setting. Alternatively, the sport mode setting or identification module enters the swimming mode by automatic identification.

3. And the logic processing module determines to close the cellular network, or the logic processing module determines to close the cellular network according to the reported service state of the wireless network.

Specifically, the logic processing module may determine to close the cellular network if the current service state of the wireless network is the network drop state; if the current non-dropped network state is present, the cellular network may not be turned off for a while.

4. The logic processing module sends a second message to the wireless communication module, the second message indicating to shut down the cellular network. I.e. the wireless communication module is set to a radio off state.

5. And after receiving the second message, the wireless communication module is set to be in a radio communication closing state. Namely, the radio off state is entered, the network registration is completed, and the network searching operation is stopped.

8. The logic processing module determines to turn on the cellular network.

9. The logic processing module sends a fourth message to the wireless communication module, the fourth message indicating to turn on the cellular network. I.e. the wireless communication module is set to a radio on state.

10. And after receiving the fourth message, the wireless communication module is set to be in a wireless communication starting state. Namely, the radio on state is entered, and the network searching and the network registration are restarted.

Through the implementation mode, the power consumption problems described in the first scenario, the second scenario and the third scenario can be effectively solved, namely, the cellular network is closed, so that the power consumption increase problem caused by that the wearable device increases the transmitting power in the swimming process, or the data service is frequently rebuilt due to network drop, and the reselection or switching is frequently performed between different network systems is avoided, the power consumption utilization rate of the device is improved, and the user experience is improved.

Example four,

Under swimming mode, wearable equipment sets up to the flight mode to close the signal reception and the signal transmission function of equipment, reduce the power consumption.

Specifically, when the wearable device determines to enter swimming mode, motion mode setting or identification module 701 notifies logic processing module 702 to enter swimming mode, logic processing module 702 determines to set to flight mode, or logic processing module 702 may determine to set to flight mode based on the current wireless network signal status. Logic processing module 702 then notifies wireless communication module 704 to set to an airplane mode and stop searching for a network.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 11, the implementation process inside the wearable device may include the following steps:

3. And the logic processing module determines to enter the flight mode, or the logic processing module determines to enter the flight mode according to the service state of the wireless network.

Specifically, the logic processing module may determine to enter a flight mode if the current service state of the wireless network is a network drop state according to whether the current service state of the wireless network is the network drop state; if the current non-network-off state exists, the airplane can not enter the flight mode temporarily.

4. The logic processing module sends a second message to the wireless communication module, the second message indicating that the flight mode is set.

5. And after receiving the second message, the wireless communication module enters a flight mode to complete network registration, receive and transmit function closing and other operations.

Specifically, after the wireless communication module completes the network deregistration process, the transceiving function of the equipment is closed, and therefore the flight mode is entered.

8. The logic processing module determines to exit the flight mode.

9. The logic processing module sends a fourth message to the wireless communication module, the fourth message indicating that the flight mode is closed.

10. And after receiving the fourth message, the wireless communication module exits the flight mode and restarts searching for the network and registering the network.

Specifically, the wireless communication module starts the transceiving function of the device, and then restarts searching for a network and network registration.

Through the implementation mode, the power consumption problems described in the scene one, the scene two, the scene three and the scene four can be effectively solved, namely, the wearable device is set to be in the flight mode, so that the problems that the wearable device improves the transmitting power in the swimming process, or frequently rebuilds data services due to network drop, or frequently reselects or switches between different network systems, and the power consumption is increased due to frequent scanning of WiFi signals and the like are solved, the power consumption utilization rate of the device is improved, and the use experience of a user is improved.

Example V,

Under the swimming mode, the wearable device closes the WiFi function, so that signal scanning of the WiFi module can be stopped, and power consumption is reduced.

Specifically, when the wearable device determines to enter the swimming mode, the motion mode setting or identifying module 701 notifies the logic processing module 702 to enter the swimming mode, and the logic processing module 702 determines to turn off the WiFi function, or the logic processing module 702 may determine to turn off the WiFi function according to that the current WiFi signal strength meets a preset condition. Then, the logic processing module 702 notifies the WiFi module 703 to turn off the WiFi switch, and stops scanning the WiFi signal.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 12, the implementation process inside the wearable device may include the following steps:

3. And the logic processing module determines to close the WiFi function, or determines to close the WiFi function according to the current WiFi signal strength reported by the WiFi module.

Specifically, when the logic processing module judges that the current WiFi signal strength is lower than a preset threshold, the logic processing module determines to close the WiFi function; and if the current WiFi signal strength is higher than the preset threshold value, the logic processing module determines not to close the WiFi function temporarily.

4. And the logic processing module sends a second message to the WiFi module, wherein the second message indicates to close the WiFi function.

5. And after the WiFi module receives the second message, the WiFi function is closed, and the WiFi signal scanning is stopped.

8. The logic processing module determines to turn on the WiFi function.

9. And the logic processing module sends a fourth message to the WiFi module, and the fourth message indicates to start the WiFi function.

10. And after the WiFi module receives the fourth message, the WiFi function is started, and the WiFi signal scanning is restarted.

Through foretell embodiment, can effectively solve the consumption problem that the aforesaid scene is described in four, promptly through closing the wiFi function to avoided the wearable equipment in swimming process frequently to scan the consumption increase problem that wiFi signal etc. lead to, improve the power consumption utilization ratio of equipment, promote user's use and experience.

It should be noted that, in addition to the above embodiment, a manner of automatically turning off a part of the wireless network function after the wearable device enters the swimming mode so that the wearable device reduces power consumption in the swimming mode may further include other manners of turning off the wireless network function, for example, turning off the wireless network function settings such as the bluetooth function and the NFC function, so as to achieve the purpose of reducing power consumption, which is not specifically limited in this application.

In addition, further, the power consumption reduction processing method of the wearable device provided in the embodiment of the present application may be any one of the above embodiments, or may be a combination of any several of the above embodiments and be used in an overlapping manner, for example, a free combination of the first to fifth embodiments and other manners is implemented, so as to achieve the purpose of further reducing power consumption.

For example, the wearable device may be in a swimming mode: the method comprises the steps of setting a modem to be in a radio off state and closing the WiFi function, or setting the modem to be in the radio off state, closing the WiFi function and closing the Bluetooth function, closing data service and closing the WiFi function, closing the data service and closing the WiFi function and forbidding part of network systems and the like, and further reducing power consumption.

In addition, in one embodiment, in response to the user setting an indication to enter the swimming mode, the wearable device may display a prompt to alert the user that the current wireless network signal is unstable and that a portion of the network functions need to be turned off. For example, the wearable device can remind the user that the wireless network signal is unstable when swimming through the form of a bullet frame, and the power consumption can be reduced by limiting the signal network function.

For example, as shown in fig. 13, when the user performs a setting on the wearable device, selects to enter the swimming mode, or the wearable device automatically recognizes that the user currently enters the swimming mode, the wearable device may prompt the user that "the network signal is unstable during swimming, wireless network restriction will be performed, and power consumption is reduced. The prompting mode may specifically be an information prompt or a voice prompt.

Optionally, an "ok" and "exit" icon may also be included below the reminder indicating that the user may select the "ok" icon for indicating operation of the portion of the wireless network receiving the restriction device. The wearable device may receive a second indication input by the user to turn off a portion of the wireless network, wherein the second indication is used to indicate to the user to confirm operation of the wireless network function restriction.
