The network architecture and the service scenario described in the embodiments of the present application are for more clearly describing the technical solution of the embodiments of the present application, and do not constitute a limitation on the technical solution provided by the embodiments of the present application, and those skilled in the art can know that, with the evolution of the network architecture and the appearance of the new service scenario, the technical solution provided by the embodiments of the present application is applicable to similar technical problems.

With the development of electronic technology, wearable devices are becoming popular in people's lives. In general, a wearable device (hereinafter, referred to as a first terminal device) has a separate mobile communication function and a positioning function. By way of example, the first terminal device may be a smart watch, such as a child watch, a bracelet, or the like.

For safety reasons, the positioning module of the first terminal device needs to be kept in an on state for a long time, so that the related personnel can obtain the position information of the user of the first terminal device in time. In addition, the first terminal device needs to maintain a connection state with the mobile network for a long time, that is, the mobile communication function of the first terminal device needs to maintain an on state for a long time, so that a related person can timely get in touch with the user of the first terminal device. For example, for child safety, the positioning module of the child watch needs to remain open so that the parent can obtain the child's position in time. The parents can determine whether to contact the child according to the position of the child watch, so that the child watch also needs to keep a connection state for a long time, namely, the mobile communication module of the child watch needs to keep an open state for a long time, so that the parents can timely contact the child.

In this case a schematic representation of the communication system in which the first terminal device is located is shown in fig. 1. In the communication system shown in fig. 1, a first terminal device 101, a second terminal device 102, a first network device 103, and a second network device 104 are included.

The first terminal device 101 is a wearable device, for example, a smart watch (for example, a child watch), a bracelet, and the like. Taking a child watch as an example, the child watch has a mobile communication function and a positioning function. The mobile communication function of the child watch is used for supporting communication between the child and parents or other people, the positioning function of the child watch can collect the position information of the child, and the parents can obtain the position information of the child through the child watch.

Generally, the child watch has smaller volume and small battery capacity, and the power consumption of the child watch for starting the mobile communication function and the positioning function is larger, so that the standby time of the child watch is long and short. To this end, an embodiment of the present application provides a terminal device control method, where a child watch may operate in different operation modes, such as a first operation mode (e.g., referred to as "in-school mode") and a second operation mode (e.g., referred to as "companion mode"). When the child watch works in the first working mode, the child watch can close the positioning module and/or the mobile communication module under the condition that the child watch is detected to be located in a preset area such as a school area or a school bus. When the child watch is operated in the second operation mode, the child watch can close the positioning module and/or the mobile communication module under the condition that the child watch is detected to be located in a preset area, such as an area where Bluetooth signals of a home phone can be detected.

The second terminal device 102 may be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a handheld computer, a wearable electronic device, a vehicle-mounted device, or the like, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application. An application (application) (hereinafter, simply referred to as a management application) for managing the first terminal device 101, such as an intelligent care application, may be installed on the second terminal device 102. For example, the user may set the relevant parameters of the first terminal device 101 (e.g. the operation mode, the first operation mode, the second operation mode) by operating an application on the second terminal device 102.

In some embodiments, the application on the second terminal device 102 may implement the management functions of the first terminal device 101 through the first network device 103. That is, the first network device 103 may be used to provide services related to managing applications. Wherein the first network device 103 may be a server. As shown in fig. 1, the first terminal apparatus 101 and the second terminal apparatus 102 establish communication connections with the first network apparatus 103, respectively. Wherein the communication connection between the first terminal device 101 and the first network device 103 may be a wireless connection. Illustratively, the first terminal device 101 may establish a communication connection with the first network device 103 via a WLAN. Alternatively, the first terminal device 101 may establish a communication connection between the cellular network and the first network device 103, for example, between the first terminal device 101 and the second network device 104, and between the second network device 104 and the first network device 103, thereby implementing the communication connection between the first terminal device 101 and the first network device 103. The connection manner of the second terminal device 102 and the first network device 103 is similar to the connection manner of the first terminal device 101 and the first network device 103, and will not be described herein.

Wherein the second network device 104 may be used to provide mobile communication services. In addition, the second network device 104 may also be used to provide location services. The second network device 104 may be a base station. Alternatively, a third network device (not shown in fig. 1) may be further included in the first communication system, and the third network device may be used to implement the positioning function of the child watch. Therefore, when the child watch is located in a preset area (such as a school area, a family area or other relatively safe areas), the mobile communication module and/or the positioning module of the child watch can be closed, so that the effect of taking the safety of the child and the standby time of the first terminal device into consideration is achieved. As shown in fig. 1, the first terminal device 101 and the second terminal device 102 establish communication connection with the second network device 104, respectively. Wherein the communication connection between the first terminal device 101 and the second network device 104 may be a wireless connection, and the communication connection between the second terminal device 102 and the second network device 104 may be a wireless connection.

In a possible embodiment, when the first terminal device 101 operates in the "first operation mode" and the first terminal device 101 is located within the preset area, the connection relationship among the first terminal device 101, the second terminal device 102, the first network device 103, and the second network device 104 is as shown in fig. 2 below. Wherein, no communication connection exists between the first terminal device 101 and the first network device 103 or between the first terminal device 101 and the second network device 104, the second terminal device 102 and the first network device 103 can keep communication connection, and the second terminal device 102 and the second network device 104 can keep communication connection.

In another possible embodiment, when the first terminal device 101 operates in the "second operation mode", the first terminal device 101 is located within the preset area, in which case the connection relationship among the first terminal device 101, the second terminal device 102, the first network device 103, and the second network device 104 is as shown in fig. 3 below. Wherein no communication connection exists between the first terminal device 101 and the first network device 103 or between the first terminal device 101 and the second network device 104, and the first terminal device 101 is in communication connection with the second terminal device 102.

For easy understanding, in the following embodiments, the terminal device control method provided by the embodiment of the present application is illustrated by using the first terminal device as a child watch, using the second terminal device as a parent's mobile phone, and using the management application as an "intelligent care" application.

The method for controlling the terminal device provided by the application is briefly described below.

In the embodiment of the application, the child watch can acquire the position indication information for indicating the region where the child watch is located, and control the working state of the mobile communication module and/or the positioning module of the child watch according to the position indication information. If the position indication information indicates that the terminal equipment is located in the preset area, the mobile communication module and/or the positioning module are/is closed. Therefore, the power consumption of the child watch can be reduced, and the standby time of the child watch can be prolonged. The preset area may be an area designated by a user, and the preset area may include one or more fixed areas, that is, predetermined areas, such as an area occupied by a school (school area) or an area with a radius of 50 meters centered on a location of a home (home area); or, in a region on the path between two fixed regions, such as a region occupied by a school bus on the path from a home region to a school region; alternatively, an area that can be varied, such as an area that is located 30 meters around the mobile handset.

The method for controlling the terminal device provided by the embodiment of the application is described below with reference to a specific scenario when the first terminal device is a child watch.

As shown in fig. 7 (a), an "operational mode" option 701 may be included in the "smart care" application on the handset. As shown in fig. 7 (b), the handset may receive a parent's operation of the "work mode" option 701, such as a first operation. The first operation may be any one of a click operation, a long press operation, or a double click operation of the "work mode" option 701 by the parent. In response to the first operation, as shown in fig. 8, the handset may display a "mode set" tab 801, which may include a plurality of options in the "mode set" tab 801. For example, a "in school mode" option 811, a "companion mode" option 812, and a "parameter settings" option 813 may be included in the "mode settings" tab 801. The "in school mode" option 811 is used to select the child watch to operate in "in school mode", and reference is specifically made to the method embodiment shown in fig. 10 below. The "companion mode" option 812 may be used to select the child watch to operate in "companion mode", and may be specifically referred to as the method embodiment shown in fig. 17 below. The "parameter setting" option 813 may be used to set parameters related to the operation mode of the child watch in the "school mode" or the "companion mode", and specifically reference may be made to the method embodiment shown in fig. 10 and the method embodiment shown in fig. 17 described below, which are not repeated herein.

As further described below, the child watch enters the "in school mode" process.

Illustratively, the parent may operate the "in school mode" option 811 in the tab shown in fig. 9 (a) before the child goes to school, and the cell phone may receive the operation of the "in school mode" option 811 by the parent, such as the second operation. The second operation may be any one of a click operation, a long press operation, or a double click operation of the "in school mode" option 811 by the parent. The handset displays an interface as shown in (b) of fig. 9 in which the "in school mode" option 811 is changed to the selected state in response to the second operation. In addition, the mobile phone may send a first message to a first network device (the first network device may provide services for the child watch and the terminal device, such as location query of the child watch, setting of the child watch, etc.), where the first message is used to indicate that the selected operation mode of the child watch is "in school mode". After receiving the first message, the server sends a second message to the child watch according to the first message, wherein the second message is used for indicating the child watch to start an 'in-school mode' (namely, a first working mode). After the child watch receives the second message, the child watch can start the 'in school mode'.

In addition, similar to setting the "in school mode" on the mobile phone of the parent in fig. 9, the "in school mode" may also be set on the child watch, which will not be described here again.

After the "in school mode" is turned on, the child watch may perform the steps of S1001 to S1002 as follows. The following is an example of a child watch turning on "in school mode" and a child riding on a school bus to learn.

S1001, the child watch acquires position indication information.

The position indication information is used for indicating whether the child watch is located in a school bus area or not, namely, a preset area.

The preset area indicated by the position indication information of the child watch may be related to an operating mode of the child watch on, such as "in school mode". In this way, the terminal device may detect the corresponding position indication information according to the working mode, for example, when only one type of device exists in the preset area, signal detection may be performed for the type of device to obtain the position indication information, so as to simplify the information obtaining process and further prolong the standby time.

For example, the position indication information may be acquired based on the following manner.

In one approach, location indication information is obtained based on WLAN, such as wireless fidelity (wireless fidelity, WIFI) technology.

Taking the WIFI technology as an example, in this case, a WIFI signal transmitting device (hereinafter referred to as WIFI device) is disposed in the school bus, and the child watch working in the school mode starts the WIFI signal detection function. At this time, the location indication information may include identification information of the WIFI device in which the child watch detects the WIFI signal, or the location indication information may further include signal strength of the WIFI signal received by the child watch. The child watch can acquire the identification information of the WIFI equipment which detects the WIFI signal and the signal intensity of the WIFI signal, so that the position indication information is obtained. The child watch is pre-stored with identification information of WIFI equipment in the school bus, and if the child watch detects signals sent by the WIFI equipment arranged in the school bus, the child watch is determined to be in a school bus area, namely, a preset area. If the child watch does not detect signals sent by WIFI equipment arranged in the school bus, the child watch is determined to be in the area of the school bus, namely, the area outside the preset area. For example, the signal sent by the WIFI device set in the school bus is detected by the child watch, and the signal strength of the signal sent by the WIFI device set in the school bus is greater than or equal to the first signal strength threshold. The child watch does not detect signals sent by the WIFI equipment arranged in the school bus, and can detect that the signal strength of the signals sent by the WIFI equipment arranged in the school bus is smaller than a first signal strength threshold.

Illustratively, the first signal strength threshold may be-90 decibel milliwatts (decibel relative to one milliwatt, dBm). Here, the first signal strength threshold is only used for example, and in a specific implementation, the first signal strength threshold may be determined according to an actual situation, for example, the size of the transmission power of the WIFI device and/or the range of the school bus (preset area), which will not be described herein.

And in a second mode, the position indication information is acquired based on Bluetooth.

In this case, a bluetooth signal transmission device (hereinafter referred to as bluetooth device) is provided in the school bus, and a child watch operating in the "school mode" turns on a bluetooth signal detection function. At this time, the position indication information may include identification information of a bluetooth device to which the child watch detects a bluetooth signal, and the position indication information may further include signal strength of the bluetooth signal received by the child watch. The child watch can acquire the identification information of the Bluetooth device detecting the Bluetooth signal and the signal strength of the Bluetooth signal, so that the position indication information is obtained. The child watch is pre-stored with identification information of WIFI equipment in the school bus, and if the child watch detects signals sent by Bluetooth equipment arranged in the school bus, the child watch is determined to be in a school bus area, namely, a preset area. If the child watch does not detect the signal sent by the Bluetooth device arranged in the school bus, the child watch is determined to be in the school bus area, namely, outside the preset area. For example, the child watch detects a signal sent by a bluetooth device disposed in the school bus, and the signal strength of the signal sent by the bluetooth device disposed in the school bus detected by the child watch is greater than or equal to the second signal strength threshold. The child watch may detect that the signal strength of the signal sent by the bluetooth device set in the school bus is less than the second signal strength threshold.

For example, the second signal strength threshold may be-90 dBm, and the specific value of the second signal strength threshold may be determined according to the size of the transmission power of the bluetooth device and/or the range of the school bus (preset area), etc. It can be appreciated that the second signal strength threshold is only used for example, and in a specific implementation, the second signal strength threshold may be determined according to an actual situation, for example, a size of a transmitting power of the bluetooth device and/or a range of a school bus (a preset area), which will not be described herein.

In one possible design, the child watch may establish a bluetooth connection with the cell phone, if a bluetooth connection between the child watch and the bluetooth device exists, the child watch is located in the school bus area, and if the bluetooth connection between the child watch and the bluetooth device is disconnected, the child watch is located in an area outside the school bus area.

The Bluetooth device and the smart watch can transmit or receive signals by adopting a low-power Bluetooth (bluetooth low energy, BLE) technology.

In a third aspect, the location indication information is acquired based on a near field communication (near field communication, NFC) technology.

In this case, an NFC device is provided on the school bus, and the child watch operating in the "school mode" turns on the NFC detection function. The position indication information is identification information for indicating whether the child watch reads NFC equipment in the school bus through NFC technology. When a child gets on the car, the child can approach the child watch to the NFC device, so that identification information of the NFC device is obtained. If the child watch detects the NFC equipment arranged in the school bus, the child watch is determined to enter the school bus, namely, a preset area.

It can be understood that, in the embodiment of the present application, the above manner of acquiring the position indication information is only used as an example, and the child watch may also acquire the position indication information in other existing manners, which is not described herein again. In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, the location indication information may be determined in a plurality of ways, such as the first to third ways, in combination with the existing way of obtaining the location indication information.

It should be noted that, the WIFI device, the bluetooth device, and the NFC device in the school bus may all be referred to as a first preset device, and the first preset device may further include other devices, which are not described herein again. The type of device (device type) in the preset area that may be used to assist the child watch in determining the position is a preset type, that is, the preset type of device may include a device for sending a bluetooth signal, a device for sending a WIFI signal, or a near field communication NFC device, that is, a WIFI device, a bluetooth device, an NFC device. The detection result of the device of the preset type may include a device identifier of the first preset device. The detection result of the device of the preset type may further include a signal strength of a signal transmitted by the first preset device.

S1002, if the position indication information indicates that the child watch is located in the school bus, the mobile communication module and/or the positioning module are/is closed.

Regarding the implementation manner of closing the mobile communication module, reference may be made to the specific implementation manner of closing the mobile communication module in the prior art; for the implementation manner of closing the mobile communication module, reference may be made to the specific implementation manner of closing the mobile communication module in the prior art, which is not described herein.

Therefore, if the position indication information indicates that the child watch is positioned in the school bus, the child is in a relatively safe area, the child can not use the mobile communication function, so that the mobile communication module can be closed, parents can not acquire the real-time position of the child from the intelligent care application, and thus, the positioning module can be closed, namely, the mobile communication module and/or the positioning module can be closed, and the power consumption of the communication module and/or the positioning module can be reduced, so that the standby time of the child watch can be prolonged.

If the child leaves the school bus, if the child takes the school bus to go outside the school bus, the child walks to enter the school bus, and the closed modules in the mobile communication module and the positioning module are restarted.

For example, if the position information is acquired in the first mode, when the child watch detects that the signal strength of the signal sent by the WIFI device set in the school bus is smaller than the first signal strength threshold, the child leaves the school bus. If the second mode is adopted to acquire the position information, when the child watch detects that the signal intensity of the signal sent by the Bluetooth device arranged in the school bus is smaller than the second signal intensity threshold, or the Bluetooth connection between the child watch and the Bluetooth device in the school bus is in a disconnection state, the child leaves the school bus. If the position information is acquired in the third mode, when the child watch reads the signal sent by the NFC equipment in the school bus again, the child leaves the school bus.

In another possible scenario, after setting the child watch to "in school mode", in a scenario where a child enters into a school from outside the school, for example, after the child gets off a car from outside the school, the child walks into the school, the preset area is the school area, in which case the control method of the child watch may refer to the method embodiment shown in fig. 10 described above. In this case, if the child does not enter the school area, the position indication information may also be determined according to the position of the child watch detected by the positioning module.

In addition, if the child watch is operating in the "school mode", the child watch may activate a sensor in the sensor module, such as a motion sensor, or an ambient light sensor, to detect the relevant status of the child watch. Wherein the motion sensor comprises an acceleration sensor.

Taking a motion sensor as an example, if the child watch is operating in a "school mode", the child watch may activate the motion sensor to detect the child's motion state. In this case, in one possible design, the child watch may further perform the following steps 1 to 4.

Step 1, the child watch obtains the acceleration of the child watch through the acceleration sensor, and determines the moving speed (i.e. the movement state) of the child watch according to the acceleration of the child watch.

Wherein the speed of movement of the child watch may indicate the likelihood that the child is moving outside of the school zone. If the movement speed of the child is greater than or equal to the speed threshold, the child is more likely to move outside the school zone, in which case the child watch may perform step 2 below.

The speed threshold may be determined according to the actual situation. For example, the speed threshold may be determined based on the speed of the vehicle, e.g., the speed threshold may be 20 kilometers per hour to 30 kilometers per hour. It is to be understood that the speed threshold herein is merely used for example, and the speed threshold is not specifically limited, and in the implementation, the speed threshold may be determined according to practical situations, such as the size of a school area, which is not described herein.

And 2, starting the positioning module by the child watch.

And 3, if the child watch determines that the child watch does not leave the school area through the position detected by the positioning module, closing the positioning module again.

And 4, if the mobile communication module is closed and the child watch determines that the child has left the school according to the position detected by the positioning module, the mobile communication module is further opened.

Therefore, whether the child takes the car or not can be judged, and if the child moves too fast, if the child leaves the school area after learning, the positioning module is started in time to detect the position of the child, so that the safety of the child is further improved.

In other possible designs, the child watch may further determine a movement distance (i.e., a movement state) of the child watch relative to the reference position according to the acceleration obtained by the acceleration sensor. If the moving distance of the child watch relative to the reference position is greater than or equal to the distance threshold, the child may move out of the school area, and in this case, the child watch may still execute the steps 2 to 4, which will not be described herein. Wherein the reference position is a starting point for determining the distance traveled by the child. For example, in the case where the positioning module is not yet turned on after the child watch leaves the teaching area, the reference position may be the position of the teaching area; or under the condition that the child watch leaves the teaching area and then starts the positioning module, the reference position can be the position detected by the last starting of the child watch by the positioning module. Illustratively, the distance threshold may be 100 meters. It can be appreciated that the distance threshold herein is merely used for example, and the distance threshold is not specifically limited, and in the implementation, the distance threshold may be determined according to practical situations, such as the size of a school area, which is not described herein.

It should be noted that the motion sensor may be a three-axis IMU, a six-axis IMU, or a nine-axis IMU, which is not particularly limited in the present application.

Therefore, the motion sensor can detect the motion state, such as acceleration, of the child watch in more directions, so that more accurate displacement can be obtained, and the safety is further improved.

Or taking an ambient light sensor as an example, after the child enters the school, the child watch can start the ambient light sensor to detect whether the child leaves a building area (movement state) such as a classroom in the school area, and further judge whether the child has a possibility of leaving the school.

For example, if the intensity of light detected by the ambient light sensor of the child watch is greater than or equal to the light intensity threshold, the child is located outside the building area of the school area, in which case the positioning module and the mobile communication module of the child watch may be turned on. The light intensity may be the intensity of visible light or the intensity of invisible light. For example, for visible light, the light intensity threshold may be: illumination intensity threshold: 2000 lux (lux). For invisible light, such as ultraviolet light, the light intensity may be 1100 megawatts per square meter (megawatt per square meter, mW/m ² ). It can be appreciated that the illumination intensity threshold herein is merely used for example, and is not particularly limited, and in the specific implementation, the illumination intensity threshold may be determined according to actual situations, such as weather, and the like, and will not be described herein.

Thus, the position information of the child can be updated in time, and the safety is further improved.

It will be appreciated that if the processor of the child watch is a multi-core processor and includes an AP and an MCU, in which case, as shown in fig. 5 above, some of the sensors in the sensor module may be connected to the MCU. In the sensor module, signals acquired by the motion sensor and the light sensor can be transmitted to the MCU and processed by the MCU to obtain the motion state of the child watch, so that the motion state monitoring is realized.

In addition, the child watch can also collect environmental sound through the microphone, and then the motion state monitoring of children is realized according to the environmental sound. For example, if a child takes a car or rides a car from the school after school, the child watch may collect sound signals in the surrounding environment through the microphone, and turn on the positioning module and/or the mobile communication module if there is a sound signal generated when the vehicle is running in the detected sound signals.

In the embodiment of the application, the child watch may determine the movement state of the child watch according to one of the movement speed of the child watch, the movement distance of the child watch, and the illumination intensity detected by the child watch, or may determine the position of the child watch in combination with a plurality of the movement speed of the child watch, the movement distance of the child watch, and the illumination intensity detected by the child watch.

And 5, acquiring data acquired by each sensor by the child watch through the MCU, and acquiring the moving state of the child watch according to the data acquired by each sensor.

In another possible embodiment, the child enters the home area from an area other than the home area, and the control method of the child watch is similar to that when the child enters the school, and will not be repeated here.

In some scenarios, a parent may update the preset area according to the actual situation. For example, a parent transacts a school overstock service for a child, in which case the parent may take the area of the escrow facility as a preset area. The child watch can still work in the "in school mode" after entering the area where the escrow mechanism is located. The principle of operation of the child watch in the escrow mechanism is similar to that of the child watch in the school area, and will not be repeated here.

The process of updating the preset area is as follows: the parent's cell phone may receive a third operation by the parent on the "parameter settings" option 813 of fig. 11 (a). The third operation may be any one of a click operation, a long press operation, or a double click operation of the "parameter setting" option 813 by the parent. In response to the third operation, the cellular phone may display a "parameter item" tab 1101 as shown in (b) of fig. 11, an option including an already set area in the "parameter item" tab 1101, such as an "area 1" option, an "area 2" option, and an "add new area" option 1111. Also included in the "parameters" tab 1101 may be an option that has a distance set, such as a "distance 11" option, a "distance 2" option, and a "set companion distance" option 1112. Wherein, as shown in fig. 12 (a), the mobile phone may receive a fourth operation of the parent on the "add new region" option 1111. The fourth operation may be any one of a click operation, a long press operation, or a double click operation of the "add new region" option 1111 by the parent. In some possible designs, the handset may display an "area 3" option as shown in fig. 12 (b) in response to the fourth operation. The fourth operation may be an operation of inputting information of a preset area that needs to be newly added.

For example, the information of the preset area input by the fourth operation may be identification information of the WIFI device in the preset area.

For another example, the information of the preset area input by the fourth operation may be input specific positions, and in this case, the mobile phone may set the area where the position of the fourth operation input is located as the preset area in response to the fourth operation. For example, the location of the fourth operation input is one of the areas where the escrow school is located, in which case the mobile phone may set the area where the escrow school is located as the preset area.

In still other possible designs, the cell phone may display a "designated area" interface as shown in fig. 13 in response to the fourth operation, in which case the cell phone may receive a fifth operation of the "designated area" interface by the parent. The fifth operation may be any one of a click operation, a long press operation, and a double click operation of the "specified area" interface by the parent. In response to the fifth operation, the region corresponding to the position is set as a preset region. The mobile phone may store a correspondence between a location and an area, for example, an area corresponding to each location in a hosted school is an area where the hosted school is located, and the location 1 is located in the area where the hosted school is located, so that the mobile phone may respond to a fifth operation of the parent on the location 1, thereby newly adding the area where the hosted school is located into a preset area.

In yet other possible designs, the handset may display a "designated area" interface as shown in fig. 14 in which graphics (e.g., maps) of different areas are included in response to a fourth operation. The mobile phone can receive a sixth operation of the parent on the 'specified area' interface, and the area formed by the sixth operation is determined to be a preset area in response to the sixth operation. The sixth operation may be that the parent manually designates an area, for example, the parent manually slides around the hosting school by one turn, the sliding track being shown by a broken line in fig. 14), in which case the mobile phone may set the area where the hosting school is located as a preset area in response to the sixth operation.

It can be appreciated that in the embodiment of the present application, the mobile phone may also automatically set, according to the preset area acquired, a path between two preset areas as the preset area when there are a plurality of fixed preset areas. For example, after the home-located cell and the school are set as the preset area, the mobile phone may set the path between the home-located cell and the school as the preset area, or may set the path between the cell a and the school as the preset area in a similar manner as the setting of the area where the hosted school is located as the preset area.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 15 (a), the mobile phone may receive an operation of the region option by the parent, thereby deleting the corresponding region. For example, the handset may receive a seventh operation of the parent on the "region 1" option. The seventh operation may be any one of a click operation, a long press operation, or a double click operation of the "region 1" option by the parent. In response to the seventh operation, the mobile phone deletes the "area 1" option, and displays an interface as shown in (b) in fig. 15.

In another possible embodiment, the child and the parent together, for example, after the child gets the child, the parent receives the child, at this time, the parent can obtain the location information of the child in time, in which case, the child watch and the parent mobile phone can be in a short distance manner, such as bluetooth, zigBee, WLAN, etc. The following example is provided between a child watch and a parent mobile phone via bluetooth communication.

In this case, as shown in (a) of fig. 16, the parent may perform an eighth operation on the "companion mode" option 812. The eighth operation may be any one of a click operation, a long press operation, or a double click operation of the "companion mode" option 812 by the parent. In response to the eighth operation of the parent, in one aspect, the mobile phone may send a third message to the server. Wherein the third message is used to instruct the child watch to operate in a "companion mode". After receiving the third message, the server sends a fourth message to the child watch. After receiving the fourth message, the child watch may turn on bluetooth and operate in "companion mode" (i.e., the second mode of operation). On the other hand, as shown in fig. 16 (b), the "companion mode" option 812 is changed to the selected state, and the parent's mobile phone can turn on bluetooth.

In addition, similar to the setting of the accompanying mode on the mobile phone of the parent in fig. 16, the accompanying mode may be turned on the child watch, and will not be described here again.

Illustratively, after the child watch is operated in the "companion mode", the child watch may perform the following steps S1701 to S1702.

S1701, the child watch detects Bluetooth signals to obtain position indication information.

In this case, the position indication information is: information about bluetooth signals detected by the child watch, for example, device identification of a device transmitting the bluetooth signals (hereinafter referred to as bluetooth device), signal strength of the bluetooth signals, and the like.

The predetermined area indicated by the position indication information of the child watch may be related to an operation mode of the child watch, such as a "companion mode". In this way, the terminal device can detect the corresponding position indication information according to the working mode, for example, when only one type of device exists in the preset area, signal detection can be performed on the type of device to obtain the position indication information, the information obtaining process can be simplified, and the standby time can be further prolonged.

S1702, if the child watch detects a Bluetooth signal sent by a home handset, the mobile communication module and/or the positioning module are closed.

For example, the child watch may detect that the bluetooth signal sent by the home handset is greater than or equal to the third signal strength threshold, or may detect that a bluetooth connection exists between the child watch and the parent handset. At this point, the child watch may turn off the mobile communication module and/or the positioning module.

To better compromise child safety and power consumption of the child watch, the third signal strength threshold may be set by the parent or child. For example, a third signal strength threshold may be set for the child watch by the parent's cell phone. Illustratively, the third signal strength threshold may be-90 dBm.

Illustratively, similar to (a) in fig. 11, the handset may receive a third operation on the "parameter settings" option 813, and in response to the third operation, the handset may display an interface as shown in (b) in fig. 11. As shown in fig. 18 (a), the mobile phone may receive a ninth operation (input of a newly added companion distance 3) of the "set companion distance" option 1112 displayed in fig. 11 (b) by the parent, and display a "distance 3" option as in fig. 18 (b). The mobile phone can receive the operation of the parents on the distance options (such as 'distance 1' option to 'distance 3' option), and respond to the operation of the parents on the distance options, and select the distance corresponding to the preset area in the 'accompanying mode', namely the distance between the child watch and the mobile phone.

Thus, when the child is in a relatively safe area with the parent, the child may not use the mobile communication function, so that the mobile communication module may be turned off, the parent may not obtain the real-time position of the child from the smart care application, so that the positioning module may be turned off, i.e., the mobile communication module and/or the positioning module may be turned off, so that the power consumption of the communication module and/or the positioning module may be reduced to extend the standby time.

In the embodiment of the application, the child watch positioning can be assisted by the parent mobile phone based on BLE or Bluetooth proxy (BT proxy). For example, the location of the child watch may be determined based on the location of the parent's cell phone and the strength of the bluetooth signal detected by the child watch.

In the embodiment shown in fig. 17, to ensure the communication requirement of the child, the network service may be provided based on BLE or bluetooth proxy, at this time, the child watch is connected with the parent bluetooth, and the information is forwarded through the parent mobile phone. For example, if the child needs to communicate with the student, the child watch may send the first communication information, and the parent's mobile phone may send the first communication information after receiving the first communication information sent by the child watch. After receiving the second communication information from the terminal equipment of the classmate, the parents send the second communication information, and the child watch receives the second communication information from the mobile phone of the parents, so that the communication function of the child watch can be realized.

When the child watch works in the accompanying mode, if the child watch detects that the signal intensity of Bluetooth is smaller than the third signal intensity threshold value, the mobile communication module and the positioning module can be opened to enable the mobile communication module and the positioning module to work. If the mobile phone of the parent detects that the signal intensity of the Bluetooth is smaller than the third signal intensity threshold, reminding information can be output to remind the parent. The reminding information can be displayed on the interface of the mobile phone, and can be output in a voice or vibration mode.

In addition, if the parents and the children are located in a relatively densely populated area, in order to avoid the children from getting away from the parents, the parents' mobile phone may further receive a tenth operation of the parents on the "accompany mode" option 812 as shown in fig. 19 (a). The tenth operation may be any one of a click operation, a long press operation, or a double click operation of the "companion mode" option 812 by the parent. In response to the tenth operation, the mobile phone may end the operating state of the child watch in the "companion mode", open the positioning module and the mobile communication module, and display an interface as shown in (b) of fig. 19, wherein the "companion mode" option 812 is an unselected state.

It will be appreciated that in the "companion mode" the child watch may also communicate using other short range communications means than bluetooth communications, such as ZigBee, WLAN, etc., without limitation.

In the accompanying mode, the mobile phone which is connected with the child watch through Bluetooth can also send the movement state information and the position of the child watch to the first network device so as to be convenient for other parents to inquire.

In addition, when the child is not in the preset area, for example, the child plays in the district independently, the communication module and the positioning module of the child watch can be started, and at the moment, the working mode of the child watch can be an independent mode.

It will be appreciated that in embodiments of the present application, the child watch may be switched between a school mode, a companion mode and an independent mode. As will be exemplified below in connection with fig. 20.

As shown in fig. 20, when the child enters the school, the child watch determines that the child watch enters the school area according to the position indication information. In this case, the child watch enters "in school mode" to operate, turning off the positioning module and/or the mobile communication module. The child watch obtains movement state information. If the child watch determines that the motion state of the child meets a first condition according to the motion state information, for example, the child moves 100 meters relative to a classroom, or the movement speed of the child is greater than 30 kilometers per hour, the positioning module is started.

In this case, if it is determined that the child is still in the school area according to the position indication information, the movement state information of the child is continuously acquired. If the child is not in the school area according to the position indication information and the Bluetooth signal transmitted by the mobile phone of the family is detected to have the signal intensity greater than the third signal intensity threshold (with the accompanying of parents), the operation of the accompanying mode is started. If the child is determined not to be in the school area and not to be in other preset areas outside the school area according to the position indication information, starting the positioning module and the mobile communication module, namely entering an independent mode.

In the embodiment of the application, after the parents operate the options in the intelligent care application on the mobile phone, the mobile phone can synchronize the related information to the child watch. For example, in "companion mode", the cell phone may send information of the operation options through bluetooth, and the child watch may receive the information through bluetooth.

It can be understood that in the embodiment of the application, the child watch can also judge whether to automatically enter the 'in-school mode' or the 'accompanying mode' according to the result of the indication of the position indication information. That is, in this case, the child watch may perform the method shown in fig. 10 or the method shown in fig. 17 by itself without setting the operation mode through the parent's cell phone or the child watch.

Therefore, the operation steps can be simplified, and the user experience is improved.

Further, the child watch may also perform the method shown in fig. 10 or the method shown in fig. 17 by itself in conjunction with the time period. For example, if the child watch detects that the child watch is located in the school area and the time is any time period between eight early morning and five afternoon of each day in monday to friday, the child watch enters the school mode, that is, the child watch turns off the positioning module and/or the mobile communication module.

If the preset working time period under the accompanying mode in the child watch is from five pm to eight pm on monday to friday, if the child goes home with the parent after learning, the child watch detects a Bluetooth signal sent by a mobile phone of the family, and the time period is any time period from five pm to eight pm on monday to friday every day, the child watch enters the accompanying mode, namely the child watch closes the positioning module and/or the mobile communication module.

Thus, mode setting can be intelligently realized, and user experience is further improved.

Illustratively, the operation modes corresponding to the scenes in which the child watch is located, and the times in the respective scenes of daily (such as monday through friday) and weekend are shown in table 1.
