FIG. 7 is a schematic structural diagram of another embodiment of a mobile terminal according to the present invention. The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are clearly and completely described in the following with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. The embodiments are a part of the embodiments of the invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts are within the scope of the present invention.

FIG. 1 is a schematic flowchart of a method for reducing power consumption of a mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention, including: Step 11: The mobile terminal determines whether a data connection is currently needed according to the usage of the data service by the user;

Step 12: The mobile terminal disconnects the data connection of the mobile terminal when it is determined that the data connection is not currently needed.

The mobile terminal determines whether the data connection needs to be used at present: the mobile terminal determines the current usage of the data service, that is, the application related to the real-time monitoring data service, and determines whether the current service is needed according to the running condition of the application related to the data service. Use a data connection. According to the operation of the application related to the data service, it can be more objective and timely to know whether the mobile terminal needs to use the data connection to reduce the power consumption of the mobile terminal.

For example, a user downloads a large amount of text content, a user browses a business, a text input service, or When performing services that are not related to the data connection, you can indicate that you do not need to use the data connection, and then you can disconnect the data connection.

The data connection, for a cellular network, such as 3G (3 ^M generation, third generation) mobile communication network, a radio resource control can be turned off (Radio Resource Control, RRC) connection, and for the wifi network, may be disconnected wifi connection. The embodiment of the present invention is described by taking an example of disconnecting or establishing an RRC connection.

Optionally, after step 11, the method further includes: when the mobile terminal determines that the data connection is currently required to be used, establishing a data connection of the mobile terminal; or, when the mobile terminal has established a data connection before step 11, moving The terminal maintains the data connection of the mobile terminal when it is determined that the data connection is currently required to be used.

Further, referring to FIG. 2, after step 12, the method may further include:

Step 13: The mobile terminal determines whether it is necessary to use the data connection according to the usage of the data service by the user;

Step 14: The mobile terminal establishes a data connection of the mobile terminal when it is determined that the mobile terminal needs to use a data connection.

For example, when the user quickly browses the downloaded text content, for example, the mobile terminal estimates the time required for the unbrowsed text content according to the browsing speed of the user, and when the time is less than the set threshold, it can be determined that the user is about to browse. After the text is downloaded, the user needs to upload to the network, for example, the mobile terminal detects that the user enables uploading or sending, or the user needs to use a network connection, for example, the mobile terminal detects that the user enables the sending application in the microblog service. In the program, you can determine that you need to use a data connection. In this case, you need to establish a data service connection again. For example, establish an RRC connection again.

In this embodiment, it is determined whether the mobile terminal currently needs a data connection according to the usage of the data service by the user. When the data connection is not currently used, the data connection is disconnected, and the data connection is disconnected after waiting for a black screen for a period of time. Disconnect the data connection and reduce the power consumption of the mobile terminal.

3 is a schematic flowchart of another embodiment of a method for reducing power consumption of a mobile terminal according to the present invention, including: Step 31: A user downloads text content through a mobile terminal.

Step 32: The mobile terminal determines whether the length of the downloaded text content exceeds a preset length threshold. If yes, go to step 33, otherwise go to step 34.

For example, based on the height of the downloaded text content divided by the length of the display area, you can calculate the need For example, the name of the downloaded webpage has a name of webview. The webview has an interface named getContentHeight. The height of the text content can be obtained through the getContentHeight interface. In addition, there is a webview. The attribute is used to record the length of the display area, and the length of the display area can be obtained from the attribute. You can set the threshold of a screen number. For example, if it is set to 10, when the calculated number of screens exceeds 10, that is, you need to browse at least 10 screens to finish reading, it means that the length of the downloaded text content exceeds the preset. The length is wide, which means that no data service is currently needed.

Step 33: The mobile terminal disconnects the data connection.

The data service connection can be disconnected by disconnecting the RRC connection to reduce power consumption.

Step 34: The mobile terminal maintains a data connection.

Since data services are still needed at this time, it is necessary to maintain an RRC connection.

Further, after step 33, in order to restore the RRC connection in time, the following steps may be performed: Step 35: The mobile terminal determines the time required for the unbrowsed text content in the downloaded text content, and determines whether the time is less than the preset time width. Value, if yes, go to step 36, otherwise go to step 37.

The mobile terminal can obtain the browsing speed of the user. For example, the mobile terminal can determine the browsing speed according to the number of text content that the user has browsed in a certain period of time. According to the unbrowsed text content and the browsing speed, the required time can be calculated. . For example, the mobile terminal may determine the text content before the user has turned the page as the browsed text content, and determine the text content that has not turned the page as the unbrowsed text content, and the mobile terminal records the page every time the page is turned. At the corresponding time point, the mobile terminal can determine the browsing speed according to the time difference between two pages and the amount of text content of each displayed page. It can be understood that the determined browsing speed is the estimated browsing speed. For example, if the page that has been paged is an M page, the time required is tl, and the page that is not paged is N pages, the time required for unbrowsed text content is t X N tl/M.

Step 36: The mobile terminal reestablishes the data connection.

For example, when the calculated time is less than the set threshold, the RRC connection is re-established.

Step 37: The mobile terminal keeps the data connection disconnected.

In this embodiment, by judging the usage of the data service, the data connection can be disconnected in time when the larger content is downloaded, so as to reduce the power consumption of the terminal.

4 is a schematic flowchart of another embodiment of a method for reducing power consumption of a mobile terminal according to the present invention, including: Step 41: The mobile terminal determines whether the current service performed by the user is a service that does not require data connection. If yes, go to step 42, otherwise go to step 43.

For example, when the current service is a page browsing service or a text input service, the mobile terminal can determine that the current service is A business that does not require a data connection. Or,

The mobile terminal can judge according to the IP packet traffic in the set time. For example, when the IP packet traffic of the mobile terminal in the set time (such as the last few seconds) is 0, it can be determined that the current service does not need data. Connected business.

Specifically, the mobile terminal may determine that the currently performed service is a page browsing service according to the following manner: After the network side sends the indication information indicating that the webpage has been downloaded, the mobile terminal may determine that the user is performing the page browsing service. Or the mobile terminal can determine the current application according to the current application identifier, and can further determine the service corresponding to the current application. For example, the mobile terminal determines, according to the application identifier, that the current application is a browser or other browsing application. When the program is in progress, it can be known that the current business is a page browsing service. Or,

When the mobile terminal determines that the current application is an application for text input according to the application identifier, it may determine that the current service performed by the user is a text input service.

Step 42: The mobile terminal disconnects the data connection.

After disconnecting the RRC connection, the data service connection can be disconnected to reduce power consumption. Step 43: The mobile terminal maintains a data connection.

In this embodiment, by determining the usage of the data service, the RRC connection can be disconnected in time when the data connection is not needed, so as to reduce the power consumption of the terminal.

FIG. 5 is a schematic flowchart of another embodiment of a method for reducing power consumption of a mobile terminal according to the present invention, including: Step 51: The mobile terminal determines whether the user has enabled the network-independent application in the data service, and if yes, performs step 52, otherwise, Go to step 53.

For example, when using the microblogging data service, the user enabled the camera-based network-independent application.

Step 52: The mobile terminal disconnects the data, for example, disconnects the RRC connection.

When the RRC connection is disconnected, the data service connection is disconnected, and the power consumption can be reduced. Step 53: The mobile terminal maintains a data connection, such as maintaining an RRC connection.

In this embodiment, by determining the usage of the data service, the RRC connection can be disconnected in time when the data connection is not needed, so as to reduce the power consumption of the terminal.
