In order to facilitate understanding of the improvements made by the solutions provided in the embodiments of the present application, the existing related technical solutions will be briefly described.

Related technical scheme I: the purpose of sensing the equipment can be achieved by utilizing ultrasonic media, and the equipment can be specifically measured by utilizing the ultrasonic media to position the direction and distance of the equipment. The perceptual processing logic of the device runs in a processor.

The processor may be an application processor (Application Processor, AP).

In one embodiment, fig. 2 shows a schematic diagram of one possible implementation of the present solution. In this implementation, the device 200A includes a processor 210A (such as an AP), a High-Fidelity (HIFI) chip 220A, a speaker 230A/microphone 240A (SPK/MIC), and a perception processing logic 211A disposed in the processor 210A, and an audio processing algorithm chain 221A disposed in the High-Fidelity chip 220A.

The device 200B includes a processor 210B, a hi-fi chip 220B, a speaker 230B/microphone 240B, a perception processing logic 211B disposed in the processor 210B, and an audio processing algorithm chain 221B disposed in the hi-fi chip 220B.

In this manner, device 200A may sense device 200B, and device 200B may sense device 200A as well, i.e., the two devices may sense each other.

The loudspeaker, SPK for short, is named Speaker.

The microphone, MIC for short, is fully spliced into microphone.

Referring to fig. 2, taking the device 200A to sense the device 200B as an example, when the device 200B is sensed by the speaker 230A/microphone 240A in the device 200A, the sensed corresponding audio signal is sent to the hi-fi chip 220A in the device 200A; the hi-fi chip 220A in the apparatus 200A processes the audio signal (for example, performs a data conversion process to convert the audio signal into data processable by a processor, etc.) based on the built-in audio processing algorithm chain 221A, and transmits the processing result to the processor 210A in the apparatus 200A; processor 210A in device 200A processes the processing results from hi-fi chip 220A based on built-in sensing processing logic 211A to sense the orientation and position of device 200B.

Similarly, the device 200B may also sense the direction and the position of the device 200A, and the specific implementation process refers to the above, which is not described herein.

Referring to Table 1 below, the power consumption of a processor making a sensing measurement is shown.

TABLE 1

Test item	Processor and method for controlling the same
		Increased current	25.18mA
Current program input scale run time	4.3s
		Dual microphone current	10ma
Dual microphone acquisition signal time	0.6s
		Speaker signaling current	50ma
Speaker signaling time	0.6s
		Total power consumption comparison	0.04mah＝(25.18×4.3+10×0.6+50×0.6)/3600

As shown in table 1, the power consumption of the processor for one sensing measurement is 0.04mah, and when the power consumption is calculated according to 1000 sensing measurements a day, the power consumption is increased by 40mah, and the power consumption is high.

In the technical scheme, as the perception processing logic of the equipment runs in the processor, the power consumption of the processor is high. Because of the limitation of power consumption, the processor is required to be in an awake state for realizing the ultrasonic sensing capability, so that the sensing capability under the condition of processor dormancy cannot be realized, and the direction and the distance of the equipment cannot be automatically sensed under the condition of processor dormancy.

Related technical scheme II: the hardware of an Ultra Wide Band (UWB) chip can be newly added in the electronic equipment to realize the sensing function. Among them, UWB technology is a wireless carrier communication technology.

However, the added hardware will bring about a corresponding increase in the cost of the electronic device (for example, 5 cents higher), and the present solution also has no low power consumption solution, and the perceptibility under the processor sleep condition cannot be realized.

In view of this, the embodiments of the present application provide a solution to the problem that the power consumption is high and the sensing capability under the sleep condition of the processor cannot be achieved, so that the sensing device with low power consumption in real time can be achieved.

The technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the application is initially introduced by combining a plurality of application scene examples.

Application scenario example 1:

next, using the electronic device as a smart phone of the user, the perceived device is a smart home appliance in the user's home, and the smart home appliance is perceived by the phone and then the card is ejected for the user to use, for example, and the application field Jing Shili is described.

Application scenario example 1.1:

in one embodiment, referring to fig. 3, the electronic device is a mobile phone 301, and the smart home appliance is a speaker 302.

When the processor in the mobile phone is in a dormant state, and the screen of the mobile phone is displayed as a black screen. However, the built-in sensing component in the low-power normally open chip in the mobile phone can sense whether the preset equipment exists around the mobile phone in real time with low power consumption.

If the user holds the mobile phone in the dormant state and moves the mobile phone so that the mobile phone is close to the sound box, the perception component in the mobile phone can perceive the sound box.

In implementation 1, the sensing component may sense the direction and the position of the sound box in real time, and if the sensed direction and distance meet the preset conditions, the processor may be awakened, and after the processor is awakened, the processor may perform further processing, for example, may pop up a corresponding card for the user to use.

In implementation mode 2, after the primary sensing component senses the sound box in real time, the ranging module (secondary sensing component) in the mobile phone can be triggered to perform accurate sensing so as to sense the direction and the position of the sound box. If the direction and distance sensed by the secondary sensing component meet the preset conditions, the processor can be awakened, and further processing can be performed after the processor is awakened, for example, a corresponding card can be ejected for a user to use.

In implementation 3, the primary sensing component may wake up the processor after sensing the sound box in real time, and the processor may further process after being woken up, for example, may control the ranging module (secondary sensing component) in the mobile phone to perform accurate sensing, so as to sense the direction and the position of the sound box. If the perceived direction and distance meet the preset conditions, the corresponding card can be ejected for the user to use.

Information related to the current use state of the sound box can be displayed in the card ejected by the mobile phone for users to use.

For example, assuming that the speaker of the living room of the user is playing audio information of music (or songs), referring to fig. 3, the following information may be displayed in the card ejected from the mobile phone: displaying information "sound box in living room" for indicating audio playback device; displaying image information (the image information may be image information of a background picture when music is played) for indicating the corresponding music, and a name of the music; a control for indicating that the flow goes to "native"; the control is used for indicating whether to open the mobile phone remote controller; controls for controlling audio playback (e.g., controls for controlling music to pause playback, etc.).

Based on the information displayed in the card, the user can check which device the audio information of the music is played on, what the name of the played music is, the image information corresponding to the played music and other information, and can execute control operations of controlling the audio stream to be played by the local machine (namely the mobile phone), controlling the function of the remote controller of the mobile phone to be started or closed, controlling the audio to be played in a pause mode and the like.

In addition, other information can be displayed in the card, such as the name of the sound box, a control for controlling the playing effect (such as silence, increasing/decreasing volume) of the sound box, and a control for controlling the current use state (such as working, standby, shutdown, etc.) of the sound box.

Referring to fig. 3, a display area of a card on a mobile phone screen may occupy a part of the mobile phone screen area, for example, may occupy a middle-lower area in the mobile phone screen area, and an upper area in the mobile phone screen area may display conventional information, for example, information such as a place, a time, a date, weather, a mobile phone signal, a mobile phone residual power, etc. may be displayed, so as to satisfy a user's requirement for learning the conventional information.

In this application scenario example, from the perspective of user use experience, when the mobile phone (mobile phone screen black screen) in the dormant state of the user approaches the sound box, the mobile phone screen automatically lights up, and the card shown in fig. 3 is automatically popped up for the user to use, so that the user use experience is good.

Application scenario example 1.2:

in another embodiment, referring to fig. 4, the electronic device is a mobile phone 401, the smart home appliance is a large screen device, i.e. a television 402, and the television is in a video playing state.

If the user holds the mobile phone in the dormant state and moves the mobile phone so that the mobile phone is close to the television, the sensing component in the mobile phone can sense the television.

Please refer to the above-mentioned implementation modes 1-3, based on the same implementation principle, if the direction and distance of the television perceived by the mobile phone satisfy the preset conditions, the mobile phone can pop up the corresponding card for the user to use.

Information related to the current use state of the television can be displayed in the card ejected by the mobile phone for users to use.

For example, assuming that the smart screen (or tv) in the living room of the user is playing an image of the video, referring to fig. 4, the following information may be displayed in the card ejected from the mobile phone: displaying information "intelligent screen in living room" for indicating video playback device; displaying image information (one of image frames of the video, such as a cover image, etc.) indicating the video, a name of the video; a control for indicating that the flow goes to "native"; the control is used for indicating whether to open the mobile phone remote controller; controls for controlling video playback (e.g., controls for controlling video pause playback, etc.).

Based on the information displayed in the card, the user can check what device the video is played on, what the name of the video is played, the image content of the played video and other information, and can execute control operations of controlling the video stream to be played by the local machine (namely the mobile phone), controlling the function of a remote controller of the mobile phone to be started or closed, controlling the video to be played in a pause mode and the like.

In addition, other information can be displayed in the card, such as the name of the intelligent screen, the control for controlling the video playing effect (such as silence, increasing/decreasing volume) and the current use state (such as working, standby, shutdown, etc.) of the intelligent screen, and the control for controlling the use state of the intelligent screen.

As in the case of ejecting the card in the application scenario example 1.2, referring to fig. 4, when the mobile phone ejects the card in the specific display area, conventional information may also be displayed in other display areas.

Application scenario example 1.3:

in yet another embodiment, referring to fig. 5, the electronic device is a mobile phone 501, the smart home is a large screen device, i.e. a television 502, and the television is in a video display state.

In some embodiments, the card ejected by the mobile phone may display information related to the current use state of the television for the user to use. Referring to fig. 4 and 5, the current use state of the television is different, and the information in the ejected card may be correspondingly different.

As shown in fig. 5, assuming that the television is in a video showing state, but not playing video, the following information may be displayed in the card ejected by the mobile phone: information "intelligent screen in living room" for indicating video playback device; the control is used for indicating whether to open the mobile phone remote controller; video playing record of the television; several recommends viewing image information of a video (one image picture of the video).

For video playing records of televisions, specifically, image information (an image picture of the video) and corresponding playing amounts (for example, a playing duration is a percentage of the total duration) of each video that is played can be displayed, the current display interface can only display image information and corresponding playing amounts of part (for example, two) of the watched videos, and image information and corresponding playing amounts of other watched videos can be displayed through a corresponding area of a user sliding screen.

For the image information of the recommended video, in particular, the image information of a plurality of videos can be displayed, the current display interface can only display the image information of a part (such as three) recommended videos, and the image information of other recommended videos can be displayed by sliding the corresponding area of the screen by the user.

Based on the above information displayed on the card, the user can view on which device the corresponding video is played, view the video that has been viewed and the corresponding play amount, view information such as the video that is recommended to be viewed, and can perform a control operation that controls the video to start playing. For example, the user may click on an image of any of the viewed videos to cause the television to continue playing the video, and may click on an image of any of the recommended videos to cause the television to begin playing the video.

As in the case of ejecting the card in the application scenario example 1.2, referring to fig. 5, when the mobile phone ejects the card in the specific display area, conventional information may also be displayed in other display areas.

Application scenario example 2:

unlike the pop-up card in application scenario example 1, in the present application field Jing Shili, the electronic device can control the state of any other device that is set in advance after sensing the other device. For example, if the other device is in a standby state, the other device is controlled to start operating, and if the other device is operating, the other device is controlled to stand by to suspend operation or shut down to stop operation.

The implementation manner of the sensing device provided in the embodiment of the present application is specifically described below.

In one embodiment, referring to fig. 6, for the purpose of sensing devices, an electronic device 600 may include at least a processor (e.g., AP) 610, a high-fidelity chip (HIFI chip) 620, a sensor processor (e.g., sensor hub) 630, a speaker 640/microphone 650, a sensor 660 (e.g., inertial measurement unit), and a wireless network communication technology chip (WiFi chip) 670. The association between the components is shown by arrows in fig. 6.

The hi-fi chip 620 may be a low-power chip that specifically processes audio; the sensor processor 630 may be a low power chip that processes sensor data specifically.

Wherein both the wireless network communication technology chip 670 and the sensor 660 may be built into the sensor processor 630.

The electronic device 600 may implement the perception of other devices through any of the above-described implementations 1-3 based on the components described above.

Corresponding to implementation 1 above, the speaker 640/microphone 650 may sense the direction and location of other devices in real time. The Hi-Fi chip 620 determines whether the perceived direction and distance satisfy a predetermined condition, and if so, wakes up the processor 610. The processor 610 may wake up for further processing, such as ejecting a corresponding card for use by a user.

Corresponding to implementation 2 above, the sensor 660 and the wireless network communication technology chip 670 may sense other devices in real time. The sensor processor 630 may trigger the hi-fi chip 620 to perform accurate sensing when it determines that other devices are sensed according to the sensing data collected by the sensor 660 and the wireless network communication technology chip 670. The hi-fi chip 620 perceives the orientation and position of the other device based on the speaker 640/microphone 650. The Hi-Fi chip 620 determines whether the perceived direction and distance satisfy a predetermined condition, and if so, wakes up the processor 610. The processor 610 may wake up for further processing, such as ejecting a corresponding card for use by a user.

Corresponding to implementation 3 above, the sensor 660 and the wireless network communication technology chip 670 may sense other devices in real time. The sensor processor 630 may wake up the processor 610 when it determines that other devices are perceived based on the sensor 660 and the sensory data collected by the wireless network communication technology chip 670. The processor 610 may wake up for further processing, such as controlling the speaker 640/microphone 650 of the electronic device 600 to accurately sense the orientation and position of the other devices. The processor 610 determines whether the perceived direction and distance satisfy a predetermined condition, and if so ejects the corresponding card for use by the user.

Based on the above, the implementation of the sensing device will be further described by taking the above implementation 2 as an example.

In another embodiment, referring to fig. 7, taking an example of sensing the electronic device 700b by the electronic device 700a, the electronic device 700a may include at least a processor 710a, a hi-fi chip 720a, a sensor processor 730a, an acceleration sensor 740 a/compass sensor 750a, a bluetooth chip 760a, and a speaker 770 a/microphone 780a for sensing the device. The association between the components is shown by arrows in fig. 7.

In this embodiment, when the electronic device senses the existence of the surrounding devices according to the wireless medium of the bluetooth chip 760a, it may further determine whether the electronic device is moving, for example, the movement of the electronic device may be determined according to the acceleration sensor 740a or the compass sensor 750 a. For example, if the direction sensed by the compass sensor 750a is changed, it may be confirmed that the electronic device is moving, whereas if the direction sensed by the compass sensor 750a is not changed, it may be confirmed that the electronic device is stationary.

In other embodiments, the electronic device may sense the surrounding device according to other communication methods, for example, sensing the surrounding device according to a wireless network communication technology chip shown in fig. 6, which is not limited in this application.

Wherein the processor 710a includes an application processing module 711a; the hi-fi chip 720a includes a perception processing module 721a and an audio processing algorithm chain 722a; the sensor processor 730a includes a wake processing screening module 731a, a wake sensing screening module 732a.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 7, the electronic device 700a and the electronic device 700b may have the same structural composition, so that the electronic device 700a may sense the electronic device 700b, and the electronic device 700b may sense the electronic device 700a, that is, the two devices may sense each other.

Thus, referring to fig. 7, the electronic device 700b may include at least a processor 710b, a hi-fi chip 720b, a sensor processor 730b, an acceleration sensor 740 b/compass sensor 750b, a bluetooth chip 760b, and a speaker 770 b/microphone 780b. The association between the components is shown by arrows in fig. 7.

Wherein the processor 710b includes an application processing module 711b; the hi-fi chip 720b includes a perception processing module 721b, an audio processing algorithm chain 722b; sensor processor 730b includes wake processing screening module 731b, wake sensing screening module 732b.

In other embodiments, the electronic device 700a and the electronic device 700b may also have different structural compositions, which is not limited in this application.

Based on the device configuration shown in fig. 7, taking the electronic device 700a to sense the electronic device 700b as an example, the implementation process of the sensing device may be as follows.

The acceleration sensor 740 a/compass sensor 750a, bluetooth chip 760a may sense other devices in real time, and the sensed data is sent to the sensor processor 730a. As described above, exemplary, based on whether the bluetooth chip 760a can sense the presence of a surrounding device, further, whether the electronic device is moving can be determined based on the acceleration sensor 740a or the compass sensor 750 a.

The wake-up sensing filter module 732a in the sensor processor 730a determines whether other devices are sensed according to the sensed data, and if so, can trigger the hi-fi chip 720a to perform accurate sensing. If not, the high-fidelity chip 720a is not triggered to perform accurate sensing.

The hi-fi chip 720a may trigger the speaker 770 a/microphone 780a to sense the direction and position of the other device and the sensed audio signal is sent to the hi-fi chip 720a. The audio signal is processed by the audio processing algorithm 722a in the hi-fi chip 720a, and the processing result is sent to the perception processing module 721a. The sensing processing module 721a determines a sensed direction and distance according to the processing result, and transmits the determined direction and distance to the sensor processor 730a.

The wake-up process screening module 731a in the sensor processor 730a determines whether the perceived direction and distance satisfy a predetermined condition, and if so, wakes up the processor 710a. If not, the processor 710a is not awakened.

After awakening the processor 710a, further processing may be performed, such as ejecting a corresponding card for use by the user.

Referring to fig. 7, in this embodiment, the ultrasonic sensing module (speaker 770 a/microphone 780 a) is sunk onto the low-power normally-on small core of the hi-fi chip to operate, and the processor is awakened as required in combination with a processor awakening condition customized by supporting three-party applications (the condition is used for awakening the processor 710 a), so that the sensing capability of low power consumption can be realized, and the orientation of the surrounding devices can be sensed in real time and low power consumption under the sleeping condition of the electronic device.

In addition, the embodiment can perform sensing based on a hierarchical sensing management policy, specifically, first performing primary sensing based on a bluetooth chip, an acceleration sensor and the like, and triggering a high-precision sensing module in a high-fidelity chip to perform further azimuth sensing under the condition that certain conditions (such as other surrounding devices exist and the electronic devices are moving) are met, so that the sensing capability of lower power consumption can be realized through two-stage sensing.

The embodiment performs high-precision sensing positioning based on the ultrasonic sensing module. In other embodiments, other ways of high-precision perceptual localization may be employed. For example, a pulse mode can be adopted to accurately position based on an Ultra Wide Band (UWB) chip in the electronic equipment.

Considering that when a user views information of other devices or controls other devices through an electronic device (such as a mobile phone), a preset card ejection condition is usually met, whether the electronic device ejects a corresponding card or not can be determined by judging whether the card ejection condition is met, so that the user views information of the other devices or controls the other devices through the content of the card.

Illustratively, the card ejection conditions may include some or all of the following sub-conditions 1-3:

sub-condition 1: other devices are in the vicinity of the user and the electronic device;

sub-condition 2: the user walks to the other device with the electronic device held in advance (or the user brings the electronic device close to the other device);

sub-condition 3: the other devices are within a specific angular range and within a specific distance range of the user and the electronic device.

Considering that when other devices exist around the user, the user may use the electronic device to view information of the other devices or control the other devices, so that, optionally, whether other devices exist around the user may be confirmed first, and if so, whether the user is approaching the other devices may be further perceived.

Wherein it is possible to further confirm whether there is a possibility that the user views or controls the other device by sensing whether the electronic device used by the user is moving. If moving, it may default that the user is approaching the other device, i.e. there is the possibility, and if not moving, it may default that the user is not approaching the other device, i.e. there is no possibility.

For example, the card ejection condition may include the above sub-conditions 1 to 3 at the same time, for example, the electronic device may determine whether the sub-condition 1 and the sub-condition 2 are satisfied and then determine whether the sub-condition 3 is satisfied, without performing the determination operation related to the sub-condition 3 in real time.

Considering that the processor performs the judging operation related to the sub-condition 3 with high power consumption and does not always satisfy the sub-condition 3, the judging operation related to the sub-condition 3 can be performed by a low power component instead of the processor, so as to avoid repeated and inefficient activation of the processor.

Next, the device-aware implementation procedure of the present embodiment will be described by taking the implementation logic of the above-described implementation mode 2 as an example.

In one embodiment, please refer to fig. 8, fig. 8 illustrates a timing diagram of an electronic device based on two-stage sensing to sense the device, which relates to the operation of a wireless network communication technology chip 810, a sensor processor 820, and a hi-fi chip 830 in the electronic device.

Referring to fig. 8, a wireless network communication technology chip 810 is configured to sense whether other devices exist around, and if so, to send notification information of the sensed surrounding devices to a sensor processor 820.

The sensor processor 820 senses whether the electronic device is moving in response to the notification information, and triggers the high-fidelity chip 830 to accurately sense when the electronic device is sensed to be moving.

The hi-fi chip 830, in response to the triggering operation for performing the accurate sensing, starts the ultrasonic sensing module to perform the ultrasonic sensing operation, and reports the ultrasonic sensing result to the sensor processor 820.

The sensor processor 820 may then determine whether to wake up the processor to eject the card based on the reported ultrasound sensing results.

Please refer to fig. 8, the first level sensing may be performed first, and then the second level accurate sensing may be performed.

For primary sensing, it may be specifically sensed whether there are other devices around the electronic device through a wireless medium such as a bluetooth chip, a wireless network communication technology chip (WiFi chip) or the like in the sensor processor 820, and whether the electronic device is moving (may be equivalent to whether the user is moving to get close to the other device) through an inertial measurement unit such as a gyro sensor, an acceleration sensor, a compass sensor or the like in the sensor processor 820.

The wireless medium and the inertial measurement unit may be embedded in the sensor processor 820, may be mounted on the sensor processor 820, or may be mounted outside the sensor processor 820 and connected to the sensor processor 820, which is not limited in this embodiment.

For the second-level accurate sensing, if the first-level sensing result is that other devices are around and the electronic device is moving, the ultrasonic sensing module sinking in the hi-fi chip 830 can be triggered to perform accurate sensing.

The accurate sensing results may be returned to the sensor processor 820 so that the sensor processor 820 may perform on-demand wake-up of the processor based on a communication channel between the sensor processor 820 and the processor for waking up the processor. For example, the processor may control the electronic device to light up the screen and eject the card.

In another possible implementation, a communication channel may also be established between the high-fidelity chip 830 and the processor for waking up the processor. In this manner, the high-fidelity chip 830 may process the accurate sensing result directly without returning the accurate sensing result to the sensor processor 820, and perform on-demand wake-up of the processor via the communication channel.

In another embodiment, please refer to fig. 9, fig. 9 shows a timing diagram of the electronic device waking up the processor to eject the card after sensing other devices, the timing diagram involving the hi-fi chip 910, the sensor processor 920 and the processor 930 in the electronic device.

The hi-fi chip 910 reports the ultrasonic sensing result obtained by performing the ultrasonic sensing operation to the sensor processor 920.

The sensor processor 920 determines whether the conditions for waking up the processor are satisfied according to the reported ultrasonic sensing result. And sending an instruction for waking up the processor when the condition for waking up the processor is determined to be met.

Processor 930, in response to an instruction to wake up the processor, controls the electronic device to light up the screen and eject the card for use by the user. For example, the user may view information of the perceived device or control the device based on the card content.

In yet another embodiment, please refer to fig. 10, fig. 10 shows a timing diagram of an electronic device perceiving the device based on an ultrasonic perception, which involves a microphone 1010 and an audio processing algorithm chain 1020 in the electronic device. By way of example, fig. 10 may be a timing diagram of internal timing of a high-fidelity chip.

The microphone 1010 sends the collected ultrasonic sensing information to the audio processing algorithm chain 1020, and the audio processing algorithm chain 1020 calls the ultrasonic algorithm to process the ultrasonic sensing information to obtain an ultrasonic sensing result, wherein the ultrasonic sensing result comprises a distance and a direction.

The embodiment can adopt an ultrasonic technology and perform high-precision sensing positioning based on the ultrasonic sensing module. In other embodiments, other ways of high-precision perceptual localization may be employed. For example, a pulse mode can be adopted to accurately position based on a UWB chip in the electronic equipment.

Fig. 11 is a flowchart of a method for sensing a device according to an embodiment of the present application, where the method may include steps 1101 to 1106:

Step 1101, sensing whether other devices exist around the electronic device, if so, executing step 1102, otherwise, ending the current flow.

A wireless medium such as a bluetooth chip, a wireless network communication technology chip, etc. in an electronic device may be used to discover whether other devices are present around the electronic device.

The bluetooth chip may be a BLE (Bluetooth Low Energe, bluetooth low energy) chip.

Step 1102, determining whether other devices and electronic devices are devices under the same user account, if so, executing step 1103, otherwise, ending the current flow.

Step 1103, it is perceived whether the electronic device is moving, if so, step 1104 is executed, otherwise the current flow is ended.

The movement of the electronic device may be sensed using one or more of an inertial measurement unit (nertial Measurement Unit, IMU), an acceleration sensor, a compass sensor, etc. in the electronic device.

For example, if the direction information collected by the compass sensor changes, the electronic device can be considered to be moving.

And 1104, performing ultrasonic sensing operation to obtain an ultrasonic sensing result.

If the electronic equipment is moving, the ultrasonic sensing module can be awakened, the ultrasonic sensing module executes ultrasonic sensing operation to realize azimuth (direction and position) sensing, and the ultrasonic sensing module can be in a dormant state before being awakened.

The ultrasonic sensing module may be built into a high-fidelity chip of the electronic device.

Step 1105, determining whether a preset processor wake-up condition is met according to the ultrasonic sensing result, if yes, executing step 1106, otherwise ending the current flow.

The ultrasound sensing results may include a distance, which may be expressed as a distance between the electronic device and the other device, and a direction, which may be expressed as a direction of the other device relative to the electronic device.

Correspondingly, the preset processor wake-up conditions may include: the distance in the ultrasonic sensing result is in the corresponding distance range, and the direction in the ultrasonic sensing result is in the corresponding direction range.

Therefore, when other devices are closer to the electronic device and offset from the electronic device by a small angle, the processor can be awakened, so that accurate awakening of the processor is ensured.

The processor wake-up condition may be, as applicable, a wake-up condition corresponding to the other device. A user may customize the processor wake-up conditions (or wake-up policies) corresponding to each other device as desired through the application interfaces of each other device.

Step 1106, wake up a processor of the electronic device, wherein the processor is configured to control the electronic device to eject a card after being woken up, and the card display content includes information related to usage states of other devices.

Based on the method provided by the embodiment, under the condition that the internal processor of the electronic device is in a dormant state, whether other devices exist around the electronic device or not can be found in real time by combining a wireless medium built in a low-power consumption sensor processor of the electronic device, whether the electronic device is moving or not is sensed by combining an inertia measurement unit in the electronic device, whether the electronic device and the other devices are devices under the same account number is judged, and if the judgment results are yes, an ultrasonic sensing module sinking in a low-power consumption high-fidelity chip of the electronic device is notified to sense the azimuth. The orientation sensing information can be transmitted back to the sensor processor, the sensor processor judges whether the orientation sensing information meets a wake-up strategy customized by the three-party application, and if so, the processor of the electronic equipment can be waken up. The processor wakes up for further processing of the message, such as ejecting the card for use by the user.

As shown in fig. 11, after sensing that other devices exist in the periphery, the electronic device may first determine whether the other devices and the electronic device are devices under the same user account, and if so, then sense whether the electronic device is moving.

In other possible implementations, the electronic device may first sense whether the electronic device is moving after sensing that other devices exist in the periphery, and if so, determine whether the other devices and the electronic device are devices under the same user account.

In the related technical schemes, when the electronic equipment is close to other equipment in the dormant state, the orientation of the other equipment cannot be perceived, so that the electronic equipment cannot automatically eject a card for a user to use. Different from the prior related technical schemes, according to the implementation of the embodiment, the electronic equipment can still measure the orientations of the dormant equipment and surrounding equipment with low power consumption in real time under the dormant state, and once the dormant equipment is found to be close to other equipment by a rule, a card can be automatically ejected for a user to use.

It should be noted that, the method of sensing the device in the embodiment of the present application is not limited to what is shown in fig. 11, for example, in other possible implementations, the step 1102 and/or the step 1103 may not be performed, or the two steps may not be performed before the step 1104. The present application is not limited in this regard.

For example, if both steps are not performed, step 1104 may be performed directly after determining yes in step 1101. If step 1102 is not performed, step 1103 may be performed directly after step 1101 is determined to be yes. If step 1103 is not performed, step 1104 may be performed directly after the determination of step 1102 is yes.

For another example, step 1102 may be performed before step 1106, rather than before step 1103, i.e., if step 1105 is determined to be "yes" then step 1102 is performed, and if step 1102 is determined to be "yes" then step 1106 is performed.

Fig. 12 is a flowchart of another method for sensing a device according to another embodiment of the present application, where the method includes steps 1201-1209:

step 1201, the wake-up sensing and filtering module in the sensor processor senses whether other devices exist around the electronic device according to the sensing data of the bluetooth chip, if so, step 1202 is executed, otherwise, the current flow is ended.

Step 1202, the wake-up sensing filtering module determines whether the other devices and the electronic device are devices under the same user account, if yes, step 1203 is executed, otherwise, the current flow is ended.

Step 1203, wake-up sensing and screening module senses whether the electronic device is moving according to the sensing data of the acceleration sensor/compass sensor, if yes, execute step 1204, otherwise end the current flow.

In step 1204, the wake-up sensing filter module triggers the hi-fi chip to perform the ultrasonic sensing operation.

In step 1205, the audio algorithm processing chain in the hi-fi chip processes the sensing data of the speaker/microphone to obtain a processing result.

In step 1206, the sensing processing module in the hi-fi chip processes the processing result to obtain an ultrasonic sensing result.

Step 1207, the wake-up processing screening module in the sensor processor determines whether the preset processor wake-up condition is satisfied according to the ultrasonic sensing result, if yes, step 1208 is executed, otherwise, the current flow is ended.

In step 1208, the wake-up processing filter module wakes up the processor of the electronic device.

In step 1209, the application processing module in the processor controls the electronic device to eject the card after the processor is awakened, where the card display includes information related to the usage status of the other devices.

As shown in fig. 12, after sensing that other devices exist in the periphery, the electronic device may first determine whether the other devices and the electronic device are devices under the same user account, and if so, then sense whether the electronic device is moving.

It should be noted that the method of sensing the device in the embodiment of the present application is not limited to what is shown in fig. 12, for example, in other possible implementations, the step 1202 and/or the step 1203 may not be performed, or the two steps may not be performed before the step 1204. The present application is not limited in this regard.

For example, if the two steps are not performed, step 1204 may be performed directly after determining yes in step 1201. If step 1202 is not performed, step 1203 may be directly performed after step 1201 is determined to be yes. If step 1203 is not performed, step 1204 may be performed directly after determining yes in step 1202.
