Description Power management method and terminal

Technical field

The present invention relates to the field of power management technologies, and in particular, to a power management method and a terminal. Background technique

At present, smartphones are often presented to users with the concept of multi-core and large screen. The big screen does give the user a visually pleasing experience, but it also brings problems such as inconvenient one-handed control and excessive power consumption, plus the current mobile phone battery technology (charging time, capacity expansion, etc.) The development of this is also clearly unable to keep up with the rapid pace of the large screen of smart phones.

Therefore, a simple large screen does not bring a better experience to smart terminal users. In order to combine the large screen with the convenient operation and convenient carrying, the current development trend is to use the host and the sub-machines to cooperate with each other.

In the prior art, the concept of a split type mobile communication terminal has been proposed, that is, the host and the slave work in cooperation, and are integrated into one by a short-distance wireless communication to satisfy the user's demand for large screen and portability. However, the host and the slave can only perform simple data synchronization and processing, lacking overall application coordination and efficient power management measures. Moreover, in the process of use, the degree of integration and integration between the main and sub-machines cannot meet the needs of the users at all.

Therefore, how to combine the power management to realize the intelligent and continuous switching between the main and sub-machines, and to improve the power management capability between the main and sub-machines has become a technical problem to be solved urgently. Summary of the invention

The invention is based on the above problems, and proposes a power management method, which can improve the power management capability between connected terminals and realize the intelligent and continuous process switching between connected terminals to ensure strong practicability and Higher user experience.

In view of the above, the present invention provides a power management method for a system including at least two connected terminals, the power management method including: detecting a power consumption condition of a specified terminal in the system; If the situation indicates that the remaining power of the designated terminal is less than or equal to the preset power, and/or the real-time power consumption is greater than or equal to the preset power consumption, the designated terminal terminates processing the specified real-time process, and switches to the system. The at least one other terminal connected to the designated terminal processes the specified real-time process.

In the technical solution, when the remaining power of the terminal is less than or equal to the preset power, and/or the real-time power consumption is greater than or equal to the preset power consumption, the real-time process that the terminal is processing is switched to be connected thereto. In other terminals, the continuity of processing of real-time processes in different terminals can be ensured, and the switching between terminals is intelligent, thereby improving the user experience. Specifically, for example, the host has a low battery alarm during the video playback. At this time, the host can close the video playback process, and switch the video to the slave connected to the host to continue playing, intelligently realizing the between the master and the slave. The continuity of the process switch. Of course, when the process is switched, the user can be given a prompt message, such as "The process will switch to the processing in the slave". And in the child machine (that is, as the switching target When there are a large number of terminals, it can also be selected by the user (you can set the selection criteria when switching, or you can select in real time) to switch the process to the specified slave for processing, which realizes the flexibility of master and slave switching. Of course, "host" and "slave" are only conceptual differences. You can specify one of the multiple connected terminals as the "host" and the rest of the terminals as the "slave". At the same time, you can also specify the current user. The "host" is used, and the rest of the terminals are "slave". It can be seen that the concepts of "host" and "slave" can actually be relative. In fact, the process of any terminal can be switched to another terminal to continue execution.

It should be noted that, since each terminal in the system is equal, any terminal may switch processes to other terminals, and may also accept processes that other terminals switch over, that is, a so-called "designated terminal." "And "other terminals" are actually opposite. When the power of other terminals is reduced or the power consumption is too fast, the identity will be converted to "specified terminal", and the "specified terminal" will be charged after a period of time. The situation is ideal, and it is also possible to convert the identity to "other terminals".

In the above technical solution, preferably, the real-time power consumption is greater than or equal to the preset power consumption, including: the real-time power consumption value of the designated terminal is greater than or equal to a preset power consumption value, and/or the The power consumption of the specified terminal in the preset time period is greater than or equal to the preset power consumption value.

In the technical solution, the real-time power consumption of the terminal can be indirectly expressed by the real-time power consumption value, or the real-time power consumption of the terminal can be directly expressed by the power consumption value in a period of time. For the real-time power consumption value, it can be obtained in various ways, for example, the power consumption of the terminal can be directly detected; or the power consumption can be indirectly calculated according to the CPU or memory usage of the terminal (pre-storage between occupancy and power consumption) The conversion relationship); Because different processes correspond to a certain CPU or memory usage, it is also possible to detect the real-time running process in the terminal, convert it to CPU or memory usage, and then convert it to the power consumption value of the terminal. Detecting the real-time power consumption of the terminal in different ways, which is beneficial to reducing the detection difficulty, improving the detection efficiency and accuracy, and thus switching the real-time process in the terminal to other terminals in time, thereby reducing the power consumption of the terminal in a short time, saving The power of the terminal.

In the above technical solution, preferably, the specified real-time process is a process that is the latest in the specified terminal, or a process that has the largest power consumption among all processes running in the designated terminal.

In this technical solution, by switching the real-time process in the terminal to other terminals, the burden on the terminal processing unit is reduced, and the power consumption of the terminal is reduced. Specifically, if the terminal is in the running process, the power consumption is in a state that does not need to switch processes, and when a certain process is established, the power consumption is increased to the need to switch processes, then the newly created process (ie, The latest established process) actually interferes with the original processing of the terminal (such as receiving incoming calls during the running of the game), and increases the burden on the host processing unit and the power consumption of the host, thus switching it to other On the terminal, to ensure that the original terminal is running normally. Or, because some processes running in the terminal require a large resource occupancy rate (such as CPU or memory usage), such as mobile games, by switching to other terminals, it helps to lower the current terminal. Power consumption. Of course, for any process running in the current terminal, as long as it is not the system process necessary for its normal operation, it can terminate the processing and switch to other terminals for processing.

In the above technical solution, preferably, the method further includes: the designated terminal synchronizing processing progress information corresponding to the specified real-time process to the at least one other terminal, to be processed by the at least one other terminal according to the processing progress The information continues to process the specified real-time process; wherein, when the specified real-time process has a corresponding processed file, and the processed file does not exist in the at least one other terminal, the designated terminal further The processed file is transmitted to the at least one other terminal. In this technical solution, for the process switching, in one case, only it can be executed on other terminals, such as starting the same game application on other terminals; in another case, because the user is on the current terminal There is certain process information, such as the game has already played the "third pass" or the movie has seen the 33rd minute and 28 seconds, then by synchronizing the processing progress information of the real-time process to other terminals, it can ensure that other terminals after the process switch , can continue to process according to the original progress, without the need for manual adjustment by the user, improving the user experience. At the same time, since the files currently being processed by the current terminal may not exist in other terminals, for example, the corresponding game program is not installed or the movie file does not exist or the file download is not completed, the installation program of the game program may be directly used by the current terminal. Or movie files or temporary download files are transferred to other terminals; for files that can be obtained from the network, the current terminal can also inform other terminals of file names such as file names and sizes, and other terminals automatically search and download from the network. . Specifically, if the host detects that the power is too low during the video playback, the host side switches the video playback process to the slave end processing. If the slave side stores the played video file, the host side synchronizes according to the host side. The video playback progress information continues to play the video. If the video file is not stored on the slave end, the host transmits the video file to the slave, and the slave continues to play the video according to the received video file and the video playback progress information.

In the above technical solution, preferably, the method further includes: determining whether the other terminal satisfies processing conditions for the specified real-time process, and if yes, submitting the specified real-time process to the other terminal, otherwise Processing continues by the designated terminal. Preferably, the processing condition includes at least one of the following or a combination thereof: the remaining power is greater than or equal to the preset power, and/or the real-time power consumption is less than or equal to the preset power consumption, and is configured with hardware for processing the real-time process. Modules and/or software functions pertain to preset terminals for processing the specified real-time processes.

In this technical solution, by judging whether other terminals have the conditions for processing the real-time process, it is possible to prevent the terminal from blindly switching the real-time process to other terminals, and other terminals cannot handle the situation, for example, other terminals do not have corresponding processing. The module is unable to respond, or the other terminal itself is low in power and cannot be processed normally (may be powered down during processing). In addition, in the case where there are multiple other terminals, since each terminal has different characteristics, the user has a tendency to use for different processes, for example, a terminal with a large screen and a strong processing capability runs a game, a movie, etc. A process with high requirements is required, and a terminal with a large battery capacity and a small size is required to run a communication process, etc., so that the most matching terminal can be determined for processing according to the type of the process that needs to be switched.

In the above technical solution, preferably, if a plurality of the other terminals meet the processing condition at the same time, selecting a terminal in which the current remaining power is the most and/or the real-time power consumption is the least, for processing the specified real-time. process.

In this technical solution, by switching the real-time process to the terminal with the most remaining power and/or the lowest power consumption in real time, the power of all the terminals in the system can be fully utilized as a whole, so that all terminals can be Keep it running as much as possible. For example, when the host side plays a video, the power is low. If both the slave A and the slave B satisfy the processing conditions of the video playback process (the remaining power of the slave A is more than the slave B), the remaining power can be selected. The slave A will continue to play the video. Certainly, since each terminal in the system is equal, when all the terminals or the power status exceeding the preset number of terminals belong to a state capable of switching the real-time process, the battery may be set after the power is lower than a certain threshold. , no process switching is performed, to avoid the process switching back and forth between multiple terminals (for example, between child A and child B, due to continuous power drop Low, slave A and slave B will alternate into terminals with higher remaining power, resulting in repeated switching of the process).

In the above technical solution, preferably, the method further includes: if the specified real-time process is a communication process, and the communication module is not configured in another terminal connected to the designated terminal, the designated terminal causes the communication module to continue The communication module of the designated terminal decodes the received downlink communication signal, transmits the received downlink communication signal to the other terminal for processing, and encodes and receives the uplink communication data received from the other terminal.

In the technical solution, for the communication process, such as call, short message, Internet data transmission and reception, etc., since the communication module must be relied on for data transmission, it is naturally smooth in the case where the current terminal and other terminals have communication modules. The communication process is switched. If the communication module is not available in other terminals, the information exchange with the base station can still be realized by the communication module in the current terminal, and the current terminal and other terminals are further realized by means of data transmission. The interaction between the other terminals causes the other terminals to interact with the base station indirectly. Although the current terminal (i.e., the designated terminal) still maintains the communication module in operation, it saves power consumption of the screen, speaker, microphone, and the like of the current terminal. Specifically, if the slave side does not have a communication module and the user chooses to use the slave side to process the call process, the slave side can process the call process by using the communication module on the host side.

The present invention also provides a terminal, which is connected to at least one other terminal, and the terminal includes: a power detecting unit, configured to detect a power consumption of the terminal; and a processing unit, configured to indicate, in the power consumption situation When the remaining power of the terminal is less than or equal to the preset power, and/or the real-time power consumption is greater than or equal to the preset power consumption, the terminal terminates processing the real-time process specified in the terminal; the information synchronization unit, the designation The information of the real-time process is synchronized to at least one of the other terminals to switch to processing the specified real-time process by at least one of the other terminals.

In the technical solution, when the remaining power of the terminal is less than or equal to the preset power, and/or the real-time power consumption is greater than or equal to the preset power consumption, the real-time process that the terminal is processing is switched to be connected thereto. In other terminals, the continuity of processing of real-time processes in different terminals can be ensured, and the switching between terminals is intelligent, thereby improving the user experience. Specifically, for example, the host has a low battery alarm during the video playback. At this time, the host can close the video playback process, and switch the video to the slave connected to the host to continue playing, intelligently realizing the between the master and the slave. The continuity of the process switch. Of course, when the process is switched, the user can be prompted, for example, "The process will switch to the processing in the slave". In the case of a large number of slaves (that is, terminals that are used as handover targets), the user can also select (by setting the selection criteria at the time of switching or by real-time selection), the process is switched to the designated slave for processing. , realizes the flexibility of master and slave switching. Of course, "host" and "slave" are only conceptual differences. You can specify one of the multiple connected terminals as the "host" and the rest of the terminals as the "slave". At the same time, you can also specify the current user. The "host" is used, and the rest of the terminals are "slave". It can be seen that the concept of "host" and "slave" can actually be relative. In fact, the process of any terminal can be switched to another terminal to continue execution.

It should be noted that, since each terminal in the system is equal, any terminal may switch processes to other terminals, and may also accept processes that other terminals switch over, that is, a so-called "designated terminal.""And"otherterminals" are actually opposite. When the power of other terminals is reduced or the power consumption is too fast, the identity will be converted to "specified terminal", and the "specified terminal" will be charged after a period of time. The situation is ideal, and it is also possible to convert the identity to "other terminals". In the above technical solution, preferably, the real-time power consumption is greater than or equal to the preset power consumption, including: the real-time power consumption value of the terminal is greater than or equal to a preset power consumption value, and/or the terminal The amount of power consumption in the preset time period is greater than or equal to the preset power consumption amount.

In the above technical solution, preferably, the specified real-time process is a process that is the latest in the terminal, or a process that has the largest power consumption among all processes running in the terminal.

In the above technical solution, preferably, the information synchronization unit is further configured to synchronize processing progress information corresponding to the specified real-time process to the at least one other terminal, to be processed by the at least one other terminal according to the processing The progress information continues to process the specified real-time process; the terminal further includes: a file transfer unit, configured to: when the specified real-time process has a corresponding processed file, and the at least one other terminal does not exist When the file is processed, the processed file is transmitted to the at least one other terminal.

In this technical solution, for the process switching, in one case, only it can be executed on other terminals, such as starting the same game application on other terminals; in another case, because the user is on the current terminal There is certain process information, such as the game has already played the "third pass" or the movie has seen the 33rd minute and 28 seconds, then by synchronizing the processing progress information of the real-time process to other terminals, it can ensure that other terminals after the process switch , can continue to process according to the original progress, without the need for manual adjustment by the user, improving the user experience.

Or movie files or temporary download files are transferred to other terminals; for files that can be obtained from the network, the current terminal can also inform other terminals of file names such as file names and sizes, and other terminals automatically search and download from the network. . Specifically, if the host detects that the power is too low during the video playback, the host will switch the video playback process to the slave, and if the slave stores the played video. If the video file is not stored, the host side transmits the video file to the slave end, and the slave end transmits the video file according to the received video file. The video playback progress information continues to play the video.

In the above technical solution, the method further includes: a determining unit, configured to determine whether the at least one other terminal meets a processing condition for the specified real-time process; wherein, if the determination result is satisfied, The terminal passes the specified real-time process to the other terminal for processing; if the judgment result is not satisfied, the processing unit continues to process the specified real-time process.

For example, when the host side plays a video, the power is low. If both the handset and the slave B satisfy the processing conditions of the video playback process (the remaining power of the slave A is more than the slave B), the remaining power can be selected. The slave A will continue to play the video.

The terminal, which causes repeated switching of the process).

In the technical solution, for the communication process, such as call, short message, Internet data transmission and reception, etc., since the communication module must be relied on for data transmission, it is naturally smooth in the case where the current terminal and other terminals have communication modules. The communication process is switched. If the communication module is not available in other terminals, the information exchange with the base station can still be realized by the communication module in the current terminal, and the current terminal and other terminals are further realized by means of data transmission. The interaction between the other terminals causes the other terminals to interact with the base station indirectly. Although the current terminal (ie, the designated terminal) still has to keep the communication module in operation, the festival The power consumption of the screen, speaker, microphone, and other components of the current terminal is saved.

The real-time process; the information synchronization unit 206 synchronizes the information of the specified real-time process to at least one of the other terminals to switch to processing the specified real-time process by at least one of the other terminals.

In the above technical solution, preferably, the real-time power consumption is greater than or equal to the preset power consumption, including: the real-time power consumption value of the terminal is greater than or equal to a preset power consumption value, and/or the terminal The amount of power consumption in the preset time period is greater than or equal to the preset power consumption amount.

In the technical solution, the real-time power consumption of the terminal may be indirectly represented by the real-time power consumption value, or the real-time power consumption of the terminal may be directly represented by the power consumption value within a period of time. For the real-time power consumption value, it can be obtained in various ways, for example, the power consumption of the terminal can be directly detected; or the power consumption can be indirectly calculated according to the CPU or memory usage of the terminal (pre-storage between occupancy and power consumption) The conversion relationship); Because different processes correspond to a certain CPU or memory usage, it is also possible to detect the real-time running process in the terminal, convert it to CPU or memory usage, and then convert it to the power consumption value of the terminal. Detecting the real-time power consumption of the terminal in different ways, which is beneficial to reducing the detection difficulty, improving the detection efficiency and accuracy, and thus switching the real-time process in the terminal to other terminals in time, thereby reducing the power consumption of the terminal in a short time, saving The power of the terminal. In the foregoing technical solution, preferably, the specified real-time process is a process that is the latest in the terminal, or a process that has the largest power consumption among all processes that are running in the terminal.

In the above technical solution, preferably, the information synchronization unit 206 is further configured to synchronize processing progress information corresponding to the specified real-time process to the at least one other terminal, to be used by the at least one other terminal according to the The processing progress information continues to process the specified real-time process; the terminal 200 further includes: a file transmission unit 208, configured to: when the specified real-time process has a corresponding processed file, and the at least one other terminal does not exist When the file is processed, the processed file is transmitted to the at least one other terminal.

In this technical solution, for the process switching, in one case, only it can be executed on other terminals, such as starting the same game application on other terminals; in another case, because the user is on the current terminal There is certain process information, such as the game has already played the "third pass" or the movie has seen the 33rd minute and 28 seconds, then by synchronizing the processing progress information of the real-time process to other terminals, it can ensure that other terminals after the process switch , can continue to process according to the original progress, without the need for manual adjustment by the user, improving the user experience. At the same time, since the files currently being processed by the current terminal may not exist in other terminals, for example, the corresponding game program is not installed or the movie file does not exist or the file download is not completed, the installation program of the game program may be directly used by the current terminal. Or movie files or temporary download files are transferred to other terminals; for files that can be obtained from the network, the current terminal can also inform other terminals of file names such as file names and sizes, and other terminals automatically search and download from the network. . Specifically, if the host detects that the power is too low during the video playback, the host side switches the video playback process to the slave end processing. If the slave side stores the played video file, the host side synchronizes according to the host side. The video playback progress information continues to play the video.

In this technical solution, it can be prevented by judging whether other terminals have conditions for processing real-time processes. The terminal blindly switches the real-time process to other terminals, and other terminals cannot handle the situation. For example, other terminals do not have corresponding processing modules and cannot respond, or other terminals are low in power and cannot be processed normally (may be in the process Power down) The process. In addition, in the case where there are multiple other terminals, since each terminal has different characteristics, the user has a tendency to use for different processes, for example, a terminal with a large screen and a strong processing capability runs a game, a movie, etc. A process with high requirements is required, and a terminal with a large battery capacity and a small size is required to run a communication process, etc., so that the most matching terminal can be determined for processing according to the type of the process that needs to be switched.

In the above technical solution, preferably, the method further includes: a selecting unit 212, configured to select, when the plurality of the other terminals meet the processing condition, select a terminal in which the current remaining power is the largest and/or the real-time power consumption is the least , for processing the specified real-time process.

FIG. 3 shows a block diagram of a split type mobile communication terminal in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 3, a split mobile communication terminal 300 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a host 302 and a slave 304. The host 302 is mainly used for some powerful arithmetic processing functions. The main constituent modules are a host processing control module 302A (multi-core CPU), a host short-range wireless communication module 302B, and a host power management module 302C. The host processing control module 302A (ie, multi-core CPU) is mainly used for computing and processing powerful game functions such as games and videos; the short-range wireless communication module 302B of the host can pass short-range wireless communication technologies (such as Bluetooth, IEEE 802.11b, IrDA). Infrared, etc.) establishes a direct wireless channel connection with the slave short-range wireless communication module 304B in the slave, and the short-range wireless communication technology can satisfy the host 302 of the split-type mobile communication terminal 300 in terms of communication distance and data transmission bandwidth. The communication function mapping between the sub-machines 304, the application function intelligent switching, and the normal data synchronization requirements; the host power management module 302C can detect the power consumption of the entire host system in real time in addition to the power management function of the traditional host system. The battery power, and the system's power consumption value and current battery power are used as the identifier of the host system sleep and wake-up. For example, when the host is running a game with a large power consumption, the power consumption of the host is large, and the host is hot. If a call comes in at this time, it will increase the burden on the host CPU and increase the power consumption. The power management module 302C transmits the detected data to the host processing control module 302A in real time, and the host processing control module 302A performs logical judgment. When it is determined that the power consumption value increases to a predetermined upper limit value, the host processing The control module 302A can let the user select by popping up a selection box on the host screen: The host continues the game, the handset answers the call or the host automatically hangs the game in the background, and the host answers the call. This will greatly improve the user's experience, while not making the host's power consumption too fast. When the host is inconvenient to charge (such as on a train), if the battery is below a certain minimum value (such as 5% of the battery), the host performs a low-power warning and intelligently puts some basic application functions (online The use of the call, audio, microblog, etc. is switched to the less-used, fully-powered handset. After the handover is successful, the host enters the sleep standby state, maintaining the basic communication mapping function so that the host can be powered when the handset is too low. Make a call.

The handset 304 of the split mobile communication terminal 300 is mainly used for communication functions and some basic application operation functions (such as Internet access, microblogging, audio, simple games, etc.). There are mainly wireless communication module 304A, sub-machine short-range wireless communication module 304B, protocol conversion module 304C, sub-machine processing control module 304D (multi-core CPU) and sub-machine power management module 304E.

The sub-machine processing control module 304D mainly performs the arithmetic processing functions of some simple applications; the protocol conversion module 304C can convert the wireless communication protocol (2G/3G/4G) into a short-range wireless communication protocol, thereby ensuring the wireless of the sub-machine 304. The communication data can be synchronized and mapped to the host 302 in real time; the slave wireless communication module 304A can implement basic call and network (mobile network) functions; the slave power management module 304E is used for power management functions of the conventional slave system. In addition, the power consumption of the entire slave system, the battery power, and the power consumption value of the system and the current battery power can be detected in real time as the identifier of the host system sleep and wake-up. For example, when the handset 304 has been talking for a long time, the battery power is too low, and below a certain minimum limit value (such as 10% of the power), a low battery warning will be given, and the ongoing call smart switching will be performed at the same time. After the handover is successful, the slave 304 enters a sleep state, but keeps the wireless communication module and the short-range wireless communication module running, the host is woken up to start the call mapping function, and the call is continued.

4 is a flow chart showing a host side power management method of a split type mobile communication terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 4, a host-side power management method of a split-type mobile communication terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention includes:

Step 402: The host side is running an application process with a large power consumption.

Step 404: The host power management module detects the power consumption value and the remaining power of the host in real time. Step 406: The host processing control module performs a logic judgment. Determining whether the remaining power of the host is less than or equal to the preset power, and/or the real-time power consumption of the host is greater than or equal to the preset power consumption, wherein the real-time power consumption of the host is greater than or equal to the preset power consumption, including: The real-time power consumption value of the host is greater than or equal to the preset power consumption value, and/or the power consumption of the host within the preset time period is greater than or equal to the preset power consumption value.

Step 408, when the judgment result indicates that the real-time power consumption of the host is greater than or equal to the preset power consumption, step 410 is performed; when the judgment result indicates that the remaining power of the host is less than or equal to the preset power, step 418 is performed, and the result is determined. If it is indicated that the real-time power consumption and the remaining power of the host have not reached the critical condition, the process returns to step 402, and the real-time detection and determination are continued.

Step 410: When the judgment result indicates that the real-time power consumption of the host is greater than or equal to the preset power consumption, the host processing control module displays a selection box on the display interface, and the user selects whether to hand over the slave machine to process the real-time process (such as the call process). ).

Step 412: If the user selects that the host continues to perform the application with high power consumption, and the slave answers the call, step 416 is performed; otherwise, step 414 is performed.

Step 414: The host runs the process with a large power consumption in the background or shuts down, and preferentially processes the session process. After the process is completed, the process proceeds to step 406 to continue the real-time detection.

Step 416: After the host switches the real-time process (such as a call process) to the slave machine, if the power consumption value of the host reaches a preset limit, the host closes the process being processed, enters a sleep standby state, and maintains a basic communication mapping function. In case the sub-machine power is too low, the host can perform basic applications (such as call progress).

Step 418: When the battery level of the host is lower than a preset threshold, a low point warning is performed.

Step 420: Determine whether the real-time process processed by the host is a basic application process, and if yes, execute step 422; otherwise, perform step 424. Specifically, it can be determined whether the slave can process the real-time process processed by the host, that is, whether the remaining power of the slave is greater than or equal to the preset power, and/or whether the real-time power consumption is less than or equal to the preset power consumption, and whether the configuration is processed. Hardware modules and/or software functions of the real-time process.

Step 422: If the real-time process processed by the host is a basic application process, the basic application process is switched to the slave machine for processing.

Step 424: After the host switches the process to the slave, the host enters the sleep standby state and maintains the basic communication mapping function.

Fig. 5 is a flow chart showing the main body and the slave implementing the communication mapping function in the split type mobile communication terminal according to the embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 5, the flow of the communication mapping function implemented by the master and the slave in the split type mobile communication terminal according to the embodiment of the present invention includes:

Step 502, the master and slave systems are turned on.

Step 504: Turn on each functional module in the main and sub-machines, where the main function includes a short-range wireless communication module of the host, a short-range wireless communication module of the sub-machine, and a wireless communication module of the sub-machine.

Step 506, the master and the child machine start the network.

Step 508: Determine whether the master and the slave are successfully paired. If yes, execute step 510. Otherwise, perform a jump to step 504. The pairing between the master and the slave is performed by the short-range wireless communication module.

Step 510: The protocol conversion module in the slave converts the wireless communication protocol into a short-range wireless communication protocol. Step 512: The wireless communication data is transmitted to the short-distance wireless communication of the host by the short-range wireless communication module of the slave Letter module.

Step 514, the wireless communication data is transmitted to the processing control module of the host, and is processed to be called and read by the system.

Step 516: Determine whether the wireless communication data is successfully mapped on the host. If yes, execute step 518. If no, go to step 510 to continue the protocol conversion.

Step 518: Recall the content of the wireless communication data that is successfully mapped in the host memory.

Step 520: Display an intensity indication of the virtual wireless communication signal on the screen of the host, and complete communication mapping between the master and the slave.

6A to 6C are diagrams showing main and slave process switching of a split type mobile communication terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 6A, the host 602 of the split type mobile communication terminal 600 does not have a wireless communication module, and the slave 604 converts the wireless communication protocol into a short-range wireless communication protocol to the host 602 through the protocol conversion module, so that the child machine 604 will itself The wireless communication signal strength 606 (shown in FIG. 6B) is transmitted by the short-range wireless communication technology to the short-range wireless communication module of the host 602 in real time, and then transmitted to the processing control module of the host, and the wireless communication is added to the operating system of the host. The data is synchronized in real time, the real-time mapping function is displayed, and the mapped value is displayed on the host side in the form of signal strength indication to form a virtual wireless communication signal strength 608.

When the user operates using the host 602, the slave 604 may be in the standby/sleep state shown in FIG. 6A if there is no operation task; and when the host 602 receives a new processing task, as shown in FIG. 6B, for example, detecting Upon a new incoming call, the host 602 detects its own state of charge. When it is detected that the host power 609A of the host 602 is less than or equal to the preset power, a selection box 610 is popped up on the screen interface of the host 602, and the user selects whether to pass the slave 604 to process the real-time process.

Since the power of the host 609A is low, the standby time of the host 602 may be shortened, and the power of the slave 609B is relatively more abundant. Therefore, in order not to affect the use of the host 602 by the user, the power of the slave 604 can be fully utilized, and the user can If "Host is connected to the Internet, the handset answers the call", the host 602 continues to perform the Internet operation, and the handset 604 wakes up from the standby/sleep state to process the call until the call ends. Of course, the user can also select "online background, host to answer the call", then the state of the slave 604 is unchanged, and the host 602 directly responds to the incoming call without switching back and forth between the host 602 and the slave 604.

As shown in FIG. 6C, in the process of the host 602 responding to an incoming call or surfing the Internet, the host power 609A is continuously consumed, and when the minimum value is consumed, the low power warning is started, and the ongoing Internet access and the like are intelligently performed. Or the functional operation switches to the slave 604, the slave 604 continues to execute, and the host 604 enters the sleep/standby state to extend the standby time of the host 604.

Of course, in the technical solution, for the power state of the host 602 or the slave 604, in addition to directly detecting the remaining host power 609A or the child power 609B, the real-time power consumption of the host 602 or the slave 604 can be detected. Specifically, the real-time consumption speed of the host power 609A or the child power 609B (the power consumption per unit time), and the real-time power consumption value of the host 602 or the slave 604 (the greater the power consumption value, the corresponding power consumption Big) Wait a minute.

Further, in the technical solutions shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6A to FIG. 6C, the process in which the host of the communication module is not configured to communicate by the communication module configured in the slave is actually performed. When the slave is inconvenient to perform the communication process, such as low power, small screen, and other processes, it can be switched to the host to perform the communication process. The slave keeps the communication module in working state, performs data communication with the outside, and the host receives the external communication data transmitted by the slave, and transmits the data to be transmitted to the communication module of the slave, and is forwarded by the communication module of the slave to Destination device. Although the communication module of the slave is in working state, since it does not need to use the screen, speaker and other devices of the slave, it can still reduce the power consumption, which is beneficial to ensure that the slave is in a working state for a long time, and fully utilize the power of the host. .

In addition, when the communication module is configured on the slave, it is obvious that the slave can directly respond to the communication event; and when the remaining power of the slave is low or the real-time power consumption is large, the slave determines whether to switch to the host for response and operating.

Of course, it should be noted that for a system including multiple connected terminals, since each terminal in the system is equal, any terminal may switch processes to other terminals, and may also accept other The process that the terminal switches over, the so-called "host" and "slave" are actually relative. When the power of the "slave" is reduced or the power consumption is too fast, the identity will be converted to "host" and "host". After a period of time, if the power status is ideal, it is also possible to convert the identity to "slave".
