由上可知, 本发明首先将 NFC装置的主叫模块设置为休眠状态, 并通 过终端设备中的传感器感应外物是否靠近终端设备并是否处于主叫模块的 工作范围, 若是, 则启动主叫模块工作, 可在无外物处于主叫模块的工作 范围时, 使主叫模块一直处于休眠状态, 而无需耗电, 从而降低终端设备 的功耗。 附图说明
图 1是本发明降低 NFC装置功耗的方法一实施例的流程图;
图 2是本发明降低 NFC装置功耗的方法另一实施例的流程图; 图 3是本发明主叫模块进行工作的流程图;
图 4是本发明包含 NFC装置功耗的终端设备一实施例的结构示意图; 图 5 是本发明包含 NFC装置功耗的终端设备一实施例的工作流程图。 本发明目的的实现、 功能特点及优点将结合实施例, 参照附图做进一 步说明。 具体实施方式
应当理解, 此处所描述的具体实施例仅仅用以解释本发明, 并不用于 限定本发明。
应当说明的是, 本发明中, NFC装置内置在终端设备中, 该终端设备 可以是手持式移动终端设备, 例如手机、 PDA或者其他进行移动支付的设 备等。 NFC装置设有主叫模块, 用以发起主叫请求, 与被叫方进行通信, 实现数据交互。
参见图 1 , 为本发明一实施例中降低 NFC装置功耗的方法流程图, 该 方法包括:
步驟 S10, 预设主叫模块处于休眠状态; 本发明中, 休眠状态是指, 主 叫模块处于省电模式, 不启动按固定频率发起主叫请求模式。
步驟 S20, 启用传感器,检测是否有外物处于所述主叫模块的工作范围 内; 终端设备中设有近距离传感器, 用以感应外物与终端设备的距离, 该 传感器可以是光感传感器, 也可以是激光传感器或者红外传感器。 例如, 手机中, 设有用以感应人脸的激光传感器或者光感传感器等。 本发明实施 例中, 通过控制终端设备中原有的传感器, 使其传输信号至 NFC装置, 从 而实现对 NFC装置主叫模块状态的控制。 具体的, 可通过控制电路, 使传 感器的输出脚与 NFC装置的主控芯片相连,输出信号至 NFC装置的主控芯 片, 然后由该主控芯片发出控制信号控制主叫模块。 主叫模块的工作范围 是指其可以与被呼叫方建立连接并进行数据交互的工作距离。 本发明实施 例中, 传感器可实时检测是否有外物靠近终端设备, 并判断其是否移动至 主叫模块的工作范围之内。
步驟 S30, 若是, 则控制传感器发出启动信号启动主叫模块进行工作。 传感器可以感知外物与终端设备的实际距离, 例如是 20cm还是 10cm, 如 果到达 10cm, 则说明有外物处于 NFC装置主叫模块的工作范围之内, 此 时, 控制传感器发出启动信号使其结束休眠状态。 该步驟流程与手机感应 人脸是否靠近, 然后根据感应结果是某部分处于工作状态或关闭状态的原 理一样。
本发明实施例中, 将 NFC装置的主叫模块设置为休眠状态, 并有效的 利用终端设备现有的传感器感应外物是否靠近终端设备并是否处于主叫模 块的工作范围,若是,则启动主叫模块工作,可以按需调节终端设备中 NFC 装置主叫模块的启动时间和频率, 从而避免了大部分时间 NFC装置都处在 无意义的工作中, 可以很好的控制终端设备的功耗, 延长终端设备的单次 充电的使用时间, 同时也可以节省部分终端设备的 CPU负荷。
上述实施例中, 传感器优选为光感传感器, 其根据遮光度实时检测是 否有外物处于主叫模块的工作范围内。 传感器也可以为激光传感器或者红 外传感器。 激光传感器或者红外传感器均可用来感应外物与本端设备的距 离, 实际应用中, 对其距离信号的处理过程与光感传感器大同小异, 在此 就不作详述。

步驟 S40, 启用所述传感器, 检测外物是否离开主叫模块的工作范围; 步驟 S50, 若是, 则控制所述传感器通知主叫模块停止工作, 进入休眠 状态。
也就是说, 在主叫模块进行工作时, 仍对外物与终端设备的距离进行 检测。 当外物开始离开终端设备时, 光感传感器(或者其他传感器)检测 到物体开始远离终端设备并且判断是否已经超出了自己的检测距离; 如果 传感器检测模块检测到物体已经超出检测距离, 则该物体超出了主叫模块 的工作范围, 此时通知主叫模块停止固定频率的主叫请求的发送, 从而达 到进一步降低功耗的目的。
参照图 3 , 上述实施例中, 步驟 S30中, 主叫模块进行工作具体为: 步驟 S31 , 根据接收到的启动信号, 按预设频率发出主叫请求; 如果接 收到启动信号, 则表示有物体进入到工作范围, 此时发送主叫请求, 以与 外物建立连接关系。 该主叫请求的发送频率可根据工作环境进行灵活设置。
步驟 S32, 接收外物对主叫请求的反馈信息; 如果接收到反馈信息, 则 是可进行数据交互的、 与本方适配的对端设备, 可进行下一步驟; 如果无 反馈信息, 则说明物体不是与本端适配的对端设备, 此时可进入休眠状态。
步驟 S33 , 与外物建立连接并进行数据交互。 例如, 手机与外部设备建 立连接并进行支付。
本发明提供一种包含 NFC装置的终端设备, 可实现上述方法。 参照图 4, 在一实施例中, 该终端设备设有 NFC装置 100, 该 NFC装置 100设有 主叫模块 101 , 除 NFC装置 100外, 终端设备还包括:
状态设置模块 200, 用以预设主叫模块 101处于休眠状态;
传感器 300, 用于感应外物距离;
传感器控制模块 400, 用于启用传感器 300, 检测是否有外物处于所述 主叫模块 101的工作范围内;
若是, 则控制传感器 300发出启动信号启动主叫模块 101进行工作。 传感器 300是终端设备中原本设有的近距离传感器, 用以感应外物与 终端设备的距离。 传感器 300可以是光感传感器, 也可以是激光传感器或 者红外传感器。 传感器控制模块 400可以为一控制电路, 或者控制芯片, 或者加载于终端设备上的控制软件。 主叫模块 101 的工作范围是指其可以 与被呼叫方建立连接并进行数据交互的工作距离。 本发明实施例中, 传感 器 300可实时检测是否有外物靠近终端设备, 并判断其是否移动至主叫模 块 101的工作范围之内。
本发明实施例中, 将 NFC装置 100的主叫模块 101设置为休眠状态, 并有效的利用终端设备现有的传感器 300感应外物是否靠近终端设备并是 否处于主叫模块的工作范围, 若是, 则发出启动信号启动主叫模块 101 工 作, 可以按需调节终端设备中 NFC装置 100主叫模块 101的启动时间和频 率, 从而避免了大部分时间 NFC装置 100都处在无意义的工作中, 可以很 好地控制终端设备的功耗, 延长终端设备的单次充电的使用时间, 同时也 可以节省部分终端设备的 CPU负荷。
进一步的, 传感器控制模块 400还用于:
在主叫模块 101进行工作之后启用传感器 300,检测外物是否离开主叫 模块 101的工作范围;
若是, 则控制传感器 300通知主叫模块 101停止工作, 进入休眠状态。 也就是说, 在主叫模块 101进行工作时, 传感器控制模块 400仍控制 传感器 300对外物与终端设备的距离进行检测。 当外物开始离开终端设备 时, 传感器 300 (或者其他传感器 )检测到物体开始远离终端设备并且判断 是否已经超出了自己的检测距离, 如果传感器 300检测模块检测到物体已 经超出检测距离, 则该物体超出了主叫模块 101 的工作范围, 此时通知主 叫模块 101停止固定频率的主叫请求的发送, 从而达到进一步降低功耗的 目的。
上述主叫模块 101具体用于:
根据启动信号, 按预设频率发出主叫请求; 启动信号由传感器 300发 出, 如果主叫模块 10接收到启动信号, 则表示有物体进入到工作范围, 此 时主叫模块 10发送主叫请求, 以与外物建立连接关系。 该主叫请求的发送 频率可根据工作环境进行灵活设置。
接收外物对主叫请求的反馈信息; 如果接收到反馈信息, 则是可进行 数据交互的、 与本方适配的对端设备, 可与外物建立连接并进行数据交互; 如果无反馈信息, 则说明物体不是与本端适配的对端设备, 此时可进入休 眠状态。

步驟 S202, 判断有无物体靠近; 以光感传感器为例, 通过遮光度来判 断如果有物体靠近后, 是否符合启动主叫模块的距离。 如果无, 则继续检 测, 主叫模块 101继续休眠。 如果有, 则进入步驟 S203;
步驟 S203 ,判断是否可以启动主叫模块;如果不可以,则返回步驟 S202; 如果可以, 则执行步驟 S204;
步驟 S204, 启动主叫模块 101 ; 例如传感器 300发出启动信号至主叫 模块 101 , 主叫模块 101停止休眠, 进入正常的工作模式, 并按照一定的频 率实时的向被叫方发起主叫请求。
步驟 S205 , 与外物进行数据交互;
步驟 S206, 传感器 300继续检测物体距离是否发生变化, 如果没有, 则不做任何操作; 如果不符合, 则进入步驟 S207 ,
步驟 S207, 判断是否可以休眠主叫模块; 如果是, 则进入步驟 S208, 如果否, 则返回步驟 S205;
步驟 S208 , 通知主叫模块 101停止工作, 进入休眠模式。
应当理解的是, 以上仅为本发明的优选实施例, 不能因此限制本发明 的专利范围, 凡是利用本发明说明书及附图内容所作的等效结构或等效流 程变换, 或直接或间接运用在其他相关的技术领域, 均同理包括在本发明 的专利保护范围内。
