Detailed Description

Reference will now be made in detail to exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, the same numbers in different drawings refer to the same or similar elements, unless otherwise indicated. The implementations described in the following exemplary examples are not representative of all implementations consistent with the present disclosure.

According to the background technology, applications installed on the mobile terminal by the current user are rich and various, the interface display patterns are complex, the interactive functions between the applications and the system are complex, and the user experience is poor in part of scenes because the accurate optimization can not be performed on the interface display only aiming at application processes with irrelevant functions when the background is controlled.

In the related art, when power consumption of an application is reduced, whether a process can be frozen is generally determined by a priority of the process, but when a priority of a process associated with some applications being used by a user is low, if the process with the low priority is frozen, a functional abnormality being used by the user is caused, so that a bad experience is brought to the user.

Aiming at the technical problems, when the application in the terminal is in a full-screen state, determining the non-full-screen application from the application running in the terminal, and reducing the power consumption of the non-full-screen application, thereby guaranteeing the fluency of the full-screen application, improving the endurance of the terminal and guaranteeing the use experience of a user.

The application control method provided by the embodiment of the disclosure is mainly applied to terminal equipment such as mobile phones, tablet computers, desktop computers, laptop computers, handheld computers, notebook computers, ultra-mobile personal computer (UMPC), netbooks and the like, and can perform man-machine interaction with users through input equipment such as keyboards, virtual keyboards, touch pads, touch screens, voice control equipment and the like.

Fig. 1 is a flowchart illustrating a power consumption method according to an exemplary embodiment, and as shown in fig. 1, a power consumption control method is used in a terminal, including the following steps.

In step S11, in response to determining that the terminal is in the application full-screen display state, an application run by the terminal is determined.

The application full-screen state indicates that the application is in the full-screen state in the terminal, and it is worth to say that even if a small window or a floating window exists above the application interface in the full-screen state, the embodiment of the disclosure is not influenced to determine whether the terminal is in the application full-screen display state.

Optionally, applications run by the terminal include, but are not limited to: and the application and the process run in the terminal interface and the terminal background.

In step S12, a target application is determined among applications run by the terminal.

The target application is an application in a non-full-screen display state operated by the terminal.

In step S13, the power consumption of the target application is reduced.

When the application is in the full-screen state in the terminal, the embodiment of the disclosure determines the non-full-screen application from the applications running in the terminal, and reduces the power consumption of the non-full-screen application, thereby guaranteeing the fluency of the full-screen application, improving the cruising ability of the terminal and guaranteeing the use experience of a user.

In some embodiments, the steps S21-S23 determine that the terminal is in the application full screen display state, as shown in fig. 2, including the steps of:

in step S21, a rendered layer set in the terminal is determined, and a display order and a display size of each layer in the layer set are determined.

Wherein the layers represent films containing text or graphics, and a sheet Zhang An of films are sequentially stacked together to form the final effect of the terminal interface. Elements on the page can be accurately positioned through the layer, texts, pictures, tables, plug-ins and the like can be added into the layer, and the layer can be further nested inside the layer.

In an exemplary embodiment, a layer including display content such as text, images or video may be displayed in the terminal interface, or a layer including various interface elements including a status bar, full-screen wallpaper, desktop rest, or navigation bar may be displayed, and of course, a layer including other types of display elements may also be displayed.

Optionally, because applications installed in the terminal device are various, a user may open multiple applications at the same time, and the display size of the terminal interface is limited, and the terminal interface generally cannot display all applications, so that a display order is set for the layers of each application, and when the user opens multiple applications, the display layer of the terminal interface is determined according to the display order of the layers of multiple applications.

Generally, the terminal interface is composed of four layers of status bar layer (power, base station signal strength, wifi strength), wall paper layer, application layer, and navigation bar layer (back button, main interface button, menu button).

The display order of the status bar layer, the navigation bar layer and the system window is higher, and is not easy to be covered, such as an incoming call window, a long-press shutdown key, a screen locking key and other key interfaces, the display order of an application window is relatively smaller, and the display order of a wall paper layer is the smallest.

It will be appreciated that the higher the display order of the layers, the more easily it is seen by the user at the terminal interface.

Optionally, after the layers are rendered, the rendered layers are synthesized in the image synthesis center, the display order of each layer in the layer set is determined during synthesis, and the interface displayed on the terminal interface is synthesized according to the display order of the layers.

In step S22, the display order of the layers in the layer set is the last layer, and the last layer is used as the target layer.

Alternatively, after the image composition center sequentially superimposes each layer in the layer set according to the display order of each layer, once the display portion of the terminal interface can be covered, the remaining layers cannot be displayed. Therefore, the display order of the layers capable of being displayed on the terminal interface in the layer set is the last layer, and the last layer is used as the target layer.

In step S23, if the display size of the target layer is consistent with the screen size of the terminal, it is determined that the terminal is in the application full-screen display state.

According to the embodiment of the disclosure, whether the image layer is in the full-screen display state is determined in the image layer combining stage, so that the power consumption of the target application can be directly controlled, and compared with a method that whether the application is in the full-screen display state and further the power consumption of the target application is controlled in the terminal display stage, the power consumption of the target application is controlled when a user sees the full-screen display application, and the fluency of the user using the terminal is improved.

In some embodiments, an application satisfying at least one of the following is determined as a target application in applications running on the terminal: an application not displayed on the current full screen display interface; an application whose function is not perceived by the user; the running process is an application of unnecessary processes.

The application which is not displayed on the full screen interface currently is an application which is not completely closed in the background of the terminal or is covered under the full screen display interface. Applications where functionality is not perceived by the user include, but are not limited to: audio playback without Audio resources, navigation without GPS resources, display without portlets, suspension balls without applications that interact data with the wearable device. Applications where the running process is an unnecessary process include, but are not limited to: the method comprises the steps of continuously and synchronously updating data with the networked backup of a server, frequently setting an RTC to trigger events, setting a plurality of Jobs to trigger activities in a specific scene, polling an aperiodic detection event state, constantly running background logic abnormality, and restarting the application in frequent breakdown caused by abnormal conditions.

Optionally, firstly, an application which is not perceived by the user is determined as a target application, further, an application which is not displayed on the current full-screen display interface is determined as a target application, and finally, an application which runs as an unnecessary process is determined as target music.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the function is excluded from the target application if it is perceivable by the user, and if the function is perceivable by the user, the application perceivable by the function is not displayed on the current full screen display interface or the running process is an application of an unnecessary process.

As a possible implementation manner, system function rights of an application running in the terminal are acquired, and whether a process of the application is an unnecessary process is judged according to the system function rights.

Where system function rights are rights that an operating system gives an application the right to use a function. The service rights related to power consumption provided in the operating system include: the method comprises the steps of allowing a program to start up and automatically run, allowing the program to use a Bluetooth function, allowing positioning information to be acquired, allowing a WIFI state to be changed, allowing a flash lamp to be accessed, allowing an application program to run in a background after screen locking, allowing a network state to be changed, allowing the program to execute system service authorities such as short-distance communication operation and the like.

Optionally, acquiring a system function being used by an application running in the terminal, judging whether the system function being used by the application is a function being used by a user, has an irremovable notification, and is associated with a full-screen application being used currently, and if the system function being used by the application is not used by the user, does not have the irremovable notification, and is not associated with the full-screen application being used currently, determining the application as an application of which the process is an unnecessary process.

As another possible implementation, the target application may be determined according to the application type of the full-screen application.

In some embodiments, when the full screen application is a game scene, the system application update module updates the three-party application in the background, and although the update is increased to indicate that the three-party application is being downloaded, the update is a relatively important event, but network and performance smoothness are required in the game scene, at this time, the update application is not expected to occupy network resources to influence network interaction data of the game, and at the same time, the background intensive computing activity such as the album module of the system application for image recognition classification is not expected, and at this time, the cloud backup operation of the system is not expected to upload behavior of the interference game. The activity of these system applications may be normal and timely in non-full screen scenarios, but would be untimely in certain full screen scenarios. At this time, the process of updating the application, the process of classifying the image recognition, and the process of cloud backup are determined as processes that are not necessarily running, and the application corresponding thereto is determined as the target application.

In other embodiments, when a full screen application is playing video, the detected background behavior, dynamic update of status bars, etc. may be determined to be a non-running process, with its corresponding application determined to be a target application.

When the target application needing to be reduced in power consumption is determined, the method and the device do not judge according to the general process priority, but determine the target application from the angle of whether a user perceives and whether a running process is necessary, so that the problem that the power consumption of processes with lower priority is reduced when the user is using or the application used by the user needs to be reduced, the terminal function is abnormal, and the user cannot accurately use the terminal function is avoided.

Further, after the target application is determined, the running process corresponding to the target application is frozen, so that the running process corresponding to the target application is limited to use the system running resource.

Freezing refers to not allowing the application to run in the background of the mobile terminal, but retaining information applied in the memory and registers. The system operation resources comprise CPU resources, sensor resources, network resources and other subsystem resources.

Optionally, in addition to freezing the running process corresponding to the target application, other applications or processes may be kept alive, limited or cleaned, where keep alive refers to that the application may be allowed to run in the background of the mobile terminal, and the authority of the application is not limited; permission restriction means that an application can be allowed to run in the background of the mobile terminal, but part of the permission of the application is restricted; the method comprises the steps of carrying out a first treatment on the surface of the Cleaning refers to not allowing the application to run in the background of the mobile terminal and not retaining the information applied in the memory and registers.

Specifically, the management and control policies of different applications can be determined according to the running applications in the terminal.

As a possible implementation manner, management and control policies of different applications are preset according to different application scenes. For example, the determined management policy corresponding to the target application is set as a freezing process, and the management policy corresponding to the application which is perceivable by the user but is not displayed in the full-screen application is set as keep-alive.

The embodiment of the disclosure also provides a power consumption control method, as shown in fig. 3, comprising steps S31-S32:

in step S31, when layer composition is performed on the target layer, the layer generation frequency of the target layer is determined, and the screen refresh rate of the terminal is determined.

The layer generation frequency represents the refresh frequency of the layer when the layer is displayed on the terminal interface, and the generation frequency of each application layer is generally different. The screen refresh rate refers to the number of times that an image on a screen is repeatedly scanned from top to bottom, and the higher the refresh rate, the smoother the displayed picture.

Specifically, the information to be displayed of all layers in the current system is synthesized into one frame through the SurfaceFlinger class in the operating system, and then the Frame Buffer (FB) is controlled by the display driving module (Mobile Display Process, MDP) to send the synthesized one frame information to the terminal display screen according to the layer generating frequency, so that the display screen refreshes and displays the synthesized one frame information according to the layer generating frequency.

In step S32, if the screen refresh rate is greater than the layer generation frequency, the screen refresh rate is adjusted to be consistent with the layer generation frequency.

Furthermore, when the target layer is detected to exit the terminal screen, the screen refresh rate of the terminal needs to be restored because the generation frequency of each layer is different, so that the phenomenon that the next layer cannot be smoothly displayed due to the lower screen refresh rate when the next layer is displayed on the terminal is avoided.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, after a full-screen display scene is detected, power consumption is reduced from a system resource limiting the use of a target application, and also from a screen refresh rate, because the screen refresh rate and the generation frequency of the target layer are not necessarily the same, when the screen refresh rate is greater than the generation frequency of the target layer, the generation frequency of the target layer can meet the display flow of the full-screen application, if the screen refresh rate is greater than the generation frequency of the target layer, the optimization of the full-screen scene is excessive, and the use feeling of a user is poor, so that the screen refresh rate is adjusted to the generation screen of the target layer, and the power consumption of the terminal is further reduced on the basis of meeting the fluency of the full-screen scene.

In order to more specifically explain the power consumption control method provided by the disclosure, the description is made from the overall flow, as shown in fig. 4, layer B and layer C are applications displayed on the terminal interface, at this time, the operation that the user needs to open application a is received, first, rendering is performed on layer a corresponding to application a, after the rendering is completed, the layer a, layer B and layer C are synthesized in the image synthesis center according to the display order and the display size of each layer, if the display order of layer a is the last and the display size of layer a is equal to the display size of the terminal interface, it is determined that the application corresponding to layer a is full-screen application, and the applications and processes existing in the terminal at present are collected, the applications are traversed, non-full-screen applications (applications not displayed on the current full-screen display interface, applications not perceived by the user by the function, and applications not necessary to run the processes) are added into the management and control list, and the management and control center adopts the coup frezer subsystem in the Linux system to manage and control the applications and processes in the management and control list. When an external event occurs (e.g., a full screen application is exited), the management and control center manages the application and process contacts in the management and control list through the group freizer subsystem. If the full-screen application does not exist in the layer set, the subsequent operation is not executed.

When the application is in the full-screen state in the terminal, the embodiment of the disclosure determines the non-full-screen application from the applications running in the terminal, and reduces the power consumption of the non-full-screen application, thereby guaranteeing the fluency of the full-screen application, improving the cruising ability of the terminal and guaranteeing the use experience of a user.

Based on the same conception, the embodiment of the disclosure also provides a power consumption control device.
