Description

Method and device for controlling power display of terminal

The present application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 201610281204.6, entitled "Control Method and Apparatus for Displaying Power of Terminals", filed on April 29, 2016, the entire contents of which are incorporated by reference. In this application.

Technical field

The present invention relates to the field of electronic devices, and in particular, to a method and an apparatus for controlling power display of a terminal.

Background technique

With the civilianization of terminal prices, laptops, smart phones, PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants), and PADs (tablets) have entered thousands of households. In addition to the most basic communication functions, terminals also have the most basic communication functions. Provide users with a lot of entertainment applications. These entertainment applications have great appeal to children, often causing children to indulge in it, regardless of parental dissuasion, until the terminal's power consumption is exhausted.

In order to prevent children from indulging in various entertainment applications provided by the terminal, in the prior art, the parent can only turn on the timed shutdown function before the terminal is given to the child, so that the terminal automatically shuts down after reaching the predetermined time of the user, pretending to be the terminal cause. The phenomenon of automatic shutdown when the battery is low. But this camouflage is not realistic and is easily recognized by children:

First of all, since the power display of the terminal before the automatic shutdown is normal, it is easy for the child to determine whether the shutdown of the terminal is due to the low battery according to the actual power displayed by the terminal.

Then, the control mode of the timed shutdown is relatively blunt. This kind of shutdown situation is very different from the situation that the terminal is shut down due to insufficient power. For example, before the terminal automatically shuts down, it does not prompt the user to charge like the low power automatic shutdown. Too low.

Finally, if the child often encounters a timed shutdown when using the terminal, it will be understood that this kind of shutdown is only a means for parents to prevent themselves from using the terminal. It is not the terminal failure or the battery is too low, and the child is likely to boot again. And then continue to play.

Because in the prior art, the power display of the terminal can only be performed according to the real power of the terminal, and the situation that the terminal power is too low can be simulated very realistically, so that the way of controlling the child's use time of the terminal through the timed shutdown is effective. low.

detailed description

The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Embodiment 1:

FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a method for controlling display power of a terminal according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1, the following process is included:

S101. After receiving the first instruction input by the user, the control terminal enters a power camouflage mode.

The purpose of power disguise is to present false battery information to users of the terminal, especially children. Therefore, the biggest difference between the terminal in the power camouflage mode and the normal mode is that the power displayed on the terminal is not the actual power, but the power after the camouflage.

The first instruction may be generated by the user by triggering a certain terminal button or a button. For example, a long press "volume +" in the terminal may enter the power camouflage mode, or a "power camouflage mode" may be set in the terminal. The option is similar to the existing "silent mode", "flight mode", etc. of the terminal. When the user chooses to enter the "power camouflage mode", the mode in which the terminal is located can be directly switched.

Since an existing terminal, such as a mobile phone, can enter a certain preset mode, the parameters of the mode can be set by the user. For example, if the user wants to put the mobile phone into the “outdoor mode”, before entering the outdoor mode, First set the parameters such as the incoming call volume, incoming call ringtone, and display brightness of the mobile phone in "outdoor mode". After the setting is completed, click OK to switch to the set "outdoor mode". Therefore, those skilled in the art can understand. Yes, various parameters of the terminal in the "power camouflage mode" can also be customized by the user. For example, the user can customize the duration of entering the power camouflage mode or the initial display power when entering the power camouflage mode.

S102. Generate a power consumption camouflage policy according to a preset rule according to the first instruction.

The power consumption camouflage strategy is mainly to determine the amount of display power at each moment after the terminal enters the power camouflage mode, that is, it needs to determine the initial display power and the consumption speed of the displayed power after entering the power camouflage mode.

In this embodiment, a method for generating a power consumption camouflage strategy is proposed. In this manner, the display device can be masqueraded at the beginning of the power masquerading mode, that is, the initial display power is disguised. For example, when the first instruction input by the user includes the preset power amount, the The preset power included in an instruction is used as the initial display power. In the subsequent time, the display power is consumed according to the real power consumption speed of the terminal, that is, the real power consumption speed of the terminal is used as the consumption speed of the display power.

Assuming that the current real power of the terminal is 78%, the user wants to have 60% of the remaining power after the child has entertainment consumption for normal communication, then the user can enter the power camouflage mode before entering the power camouflage mode. The initial display power is set to 18%. In the case of subsequent power camouflage mode, the display power at each moment can be determined according to the user-child of the mode, and the actual power consumption of the terminal is determined, for example, at 180s. During the time, the child uses the terminal to entertain, so that the terminal consumes 1% of the real power, then the display power of the terminal should be 17% after entering the power camouflage mode for 3 minutes. In other words, this situation is equivalent to the user extracting a part of the real power for entertainment for children. When this part of the power is about to run out, the terminal is in a false "low battery" state.

If the preset command does not include the preset power, but includes the preset duration, for example, when the user sets the parameter in the power camouflage mode, only the time period of entering the power camouflage mode is set, then the terminal display according to the embodiment is displayed. The power control method can estimate an initial display power according to the duration of the time period. For example, the time range of the entering power dumping mode set by the user is 20:00 to 20:30, then it can be known that the user desires to enter the power camouflage mode. The total duration is 30 minutes. According to the normal usage of the terminal, it can be determined that the power consumption of the half hour is about 12%, then 12% can be used as the initial display power. Of course, in the method of estimating the initial display power, the estimated power is not necessarily accurate, that is, the power used in the preset time period is not necessarily the initial display power estimated by the terminal. However, this does not affect the user's control over the child's use of the terminal time, because the estimated initial display power is only a display value, and the time when the terminal is in the power camouflage mode is determined only according to the preset duration in the first instruction. That is, it is determined only according to the time period input by the user, and is independent of the estimated initial display power.

For example, in the above example, when the time is about to arrive at 20:30, the terminal will tell the child that the battery is too low by voice prompting or changing the battery icon of the terminal to a more conspicuous red, even when the time reaches 20 : At 30 o'clock, it can also control the terminal to automatically shut down. In this half hour, if the child only turns on the application with lower power consumption level, the power consumption of the terminal may be lower than 12%. If the application opened by the child itself consumes more power, or multiple applications are enabled at the same time, the terminal The amount of electricity consumed may It will be much larger than 12%, but in general, the time for children to use the terminal must be 30 minutes preset by the user.

In summary, since the time when the terminal enters the power camouflage mode is not related to the estimated display power, it is not necessary to determine the initial power consumption according to the normal power consumption of the terminal, or even an initial determination. The power is displayed, but in order to be close to the real situation, the estimated initial display power should be as low as possible.

As for how to determine the consumption speed of the displayed power, that is, how to update the estimated initial display power, there are various strategies that can be used, for example, the average consumption method, assuming that the initial display power is 12%, and the user preset value is 30 minutes, then need to reduce by 0.4% per minute, assuming that the terminal update shows that the minimum scale of power is 1%, then the display power of the terminal is updated to 11% when it enters the battery camouflage mode for 150s. Similarly, non-average consumption mode can also be adopted. For example, the power consumption of each application in the terminal is evaluated in advance, and the power consumption levels of each application are determined to be high, medium, and low, respectively. In the application, the display power consumption is reduced to a small extent. When the power consumption level of the application that is turned on by the terminal is high, the display power is reduced by a large amount. Although the non-average consumption method is complicated, the analog power consumption is simulated. The process is more realistic.

In the above two methods for determining the power consumption camouflage strategy, in the manner of directly inputting the initial display power, the subsequent process of updating the display power of the terminal is simpler, and the user is more convenient to control the remaining power, which is suitable for the user's needs. It is guaranteed that the child can still use the terminal normally after the child uses the terminal. The first instruction includes a preset duration, which can facilitate the user to accurately control the time of the child using the terminal, so that the user can safely hand over the terminal to the child without fear of the child using the mobile terminal for a long time to cause vision The adverse effects can further reduce the burden on the user and effectively improve the user experience.

Undoubtedly, when the user enters the power camouflage mode by triggering a terminal button or button, the user does not customize the preset duration or the preset power, then in this case, the terminal enters the power camouflage mode. Each parameter may be preset in advance. For example, the time period in which the terminal enters the power camouflage mode by default is after the current time to 30 minutes, then when the user enters the power camouflage mode by long pressing “volume+” at 11:40 am, the terminal The estimated initial display power is displayed at 12%, and the 12% "charge" is gradually "consumed" from 11:40 to 12:10 until 12:10 shows that the power is 0, then The control terminal enters the shutdown state.

Similarly, the above default parameter mode is applicable to all cases where the power camouflage mode is entered without parameter customization, and is not limited to the scenario of entering the power camouflage mode through the terminal entity button.

S103. Perform masquerading processing on the display power of the terminal according to the power consumption camouflage policy.

After obtaining the power masquerading strategy, in the following time, the display power of the terminal may be masqueraded according to the power masquerading strategy. For example, the masquerading strategy determined according to the first instruction is: the initial display power is 17%, and the display is The power consumption rate is 0.5% per minute. After 120 seconds after entering the terminal, the display power of the terminal is disguised as 16%, and after the end of the 32nd minute, the power is displayed as 1%.

In the power camouflage mode, the display power of the terminal is mainly to achieve the effect of allowing the user to obtain false information. Therefore, in the power camouflage mode, the user should be prevented from obtaining the real power information. In a preferred example of the embodiment, the display icon of the real battery can be overwritten or replaced with the display icon of the terminal power after camouflage. At the same time, in order to make the display mode of the terminal power after camouflage as consistent as possible with the display of the real power, the shape, size and color of the display icon after the camouflage and the real power icon should be the same as possible.

In addition, at some point, the user does not pay attention to the display power of the terminal. For example, when the user concentrates on playing the game of the terminal, he does not notice the current amount of power. Therefore, in order to allow the user to obtain the false battery information without paying excessive attention to the power information of the terminal, the present embodiment further provides a preferred example: when the power of the terminal after the masquerading is lower than a preset value, A corresponding prompt message will pop up to indicate that the battery is too low. The prompt message that pops up can be a text message or an icon that indicates that the battery is too low. Since the child may not be familiar or sensitive to the text information, further, the voice message may be used to synchronize the prompt while the text prompt message is popped up. If the icon information is popped up, for example, a battery icon that is about to be exhausted, in order to be conspicuous, the battery icon can be enlarged, for example, to cover the entire display, and the color of the icon is changed to a red with warning effect. In addition, when the icon information is popped up, a voice prompt or a warning sound can be simultaneously synchronized.

Undoubtedly, the user can control the time when the child uses the terminal by disguising the terminal power. It is not necessary to enter the shutdown state. For example, if the terminal power is lower than 3%, the displayed power icon will turn red. Parents can agree with the child to stop using the terminal when the battery icon turns red. This is also possible in some scenarios.

In this embodiment, the power consumption camouflage strategy is generated according to the first instruction input by the user and the preset rule. Therefore, the display power of the terminal is disguised according to the power consumption camouflage strategy, so that the terminal entering the power camouflage mode “consumes” the camouflage power according to the power consumption camouflage policy, so that the user in the power camouflage mode, for example, the child obtains falsehood. The power display information reaches the purpose of controlling the time for the child to use the terminal, thereby reducing the burden on the user and improving the user experience.

Embodiment 2:

The present embodiment is still directed to a control method for displaying power of a terminal. Unlike the first embodiment, the power masquerading strategy generated in this embodiment is different.

In the first embodiment, the terminal enters the power camouflage mode with a disguised initial charge, which we refer to as the "initial camouflage mode". However, in this embodiment, when entering the power camouflage mode, the power can be entered with real power, that is, the real power is directly used as the initial display power when entering the power camouflage mode. Only in the subsequent process, the power consumption of the terminal is consumed by the power consumption speed after the camouflage, that is, the display power of the terminal is "consumed" by a display power consumption speed different from the actual power consumption speed. This camouflage method is "intermediate camouflage mode".

The consumption speed of the display power is determined according to the first instruction input by the user and the preset rule. For example, when the first instruction includes the preset duration input by the user, the real power of the current terminal may be used as the initial display power, and then according to the following formula. Get the speed of the display power:

Display the consumption speed of the power = initial display power / preset duration;

It can be understood that the preset duration must be smaller than the actual real power usage of the terminal, that is, the consumption speed of the display power must be greater than the actual power consumption speed of the terminal.

In another example of the present invention, when the first command directly includes the preset power consumption speed, the preset power consumption speed of the user may be directly parsed as the consumption speed of the display power. Similarly, the preset power consumption is The speed must be greater than the actual power consumption speed of the terminal.

According to the masquerading method in the first embodiment, if the user often controls the time of the child using the terminal in the same manner, it is likely that the initial display power of the terminal is the same every time the terminal enters the power camouflage mode, which may cause the child to perceive the power. camouflage. For example, every time the user wants the child to use 10% of the power and then stops using it, the initial display power of the terminal into the power camouflage mode is 10% each time. According to the actual power consumption of the terminal, the probability of this situation is very small, so the simulation situation will be "distorted". Of course, in the initial camouflage mode, there is another method for determining the initial display power, that is, determining the initial state of the terminal entering the power camouflage mode according to the preset duration. The power is displayed, and it is assumed that the initial display power estimated based on the preset duration is not very accurate, but since the power consumption level of a terminal at different time points is roughly average, it will also cause the terminal to enter the initial state of the power camouflage mode each time. The display power is almost the same. Therefore, in order to ensure that the initial display power is closer to the true level, it is more realistic to use the “intermediate camouflage method” to camouflage the power, because this camouflage is to increase the display power consumption speed, so that the terminal display Electricity is quickly consumed invisibly, so it is more difficult for children to detect.

In the power camouflage mode, if the display power of the terminal is lower than the first preset value, the related prompt of the low battery is started, preferably, after the camouflage power of the terminal is lower than the first preset value, every certain time In the case of the low battery, for example, in the embodiment, the first preset value of the mobile phone is set to 3%, and when the display power of the mobile phone is less than 3% after the camouflage, the display is displayed every 1 minute. The text message of the phone is too low, it will be automatically turned off, or the icon indicating low battery is displayed on the display. Preferably, when the power displayed by the mobile phone is lower than the second preset value, for example, when the display power is lower than 1%, the prompt information of the low battery may be displayed all the time, or the voice prompt information may be played all the time. The size of the first preset value and the second preset value can be set by the user.

In a preferred example provided by the present invention, when the display power amount after the masquerading process is lower than a preset threshold, the control terminal enters a low power control state. In the low power control state, the terminal cannot run the first application, and the first application may be an application specified by the user in advance. For example, the user is preset to be in a low power control state, and the terminal cannot run the “fruit ninja” or “angry small”. Birds and other games. Preferably, the first application may also be all applications of the terminal. At this time, the low power control state may also be the shutdown state of the terminal. When the low power control state is the shutdown state, the first application includes all applications of the terminal. In the present invention, the size of the preset threshold may also be set by the user. It can be understood that the preset threshold should be smaller than the first preset value.

In a preferred embodiment, when the terminal enters the low power control state, the preset recovery command must be monitored to control the terminal to exit the power camouflage mode. Assuming that the terminal in the low-power control state can only run certain applications specified by the user and does not enter the shutdown state, the preset recovery command can be specific input information, for example, the user can press and hold the "volume-" button. Exit the power caption mode. When the low power control state is the shutdown state, the preset recovery command may be the preset number of power-on times. For example, it must be monitored that the user has tried the power-on three times, and the terminal is not allowed until the fourth time the terminal attempts to power on. Switch to normal mode and display the remaining power normally, no doubt, before 3 starts should fail. Suppose the user enters the power camouflage mode with the initial display power of 10% when the actual power of the mobile phone is 50%. When the display power is lower than 0.1%, the mobile phone enters the low power control state to make the power off state. After the phone is turned off, the child may try a 1~2 boot attempt to continue to use the phone for entertainment. However, because the user has to set the fourth boot signal after the user has to be detected, the phone can be turned on normally. Therefore, when the child tries to boot from 1 to 2, the message “The phone is too low to boot properly!” is displayed. He may really think that the phone is running low and give up the idea of using a mobile phone to play or surf the Internet.

In order to prevent the terminal from entering the power camouflage mode, the child attempts to charge the terminal to prolong the use time. The embodiment further provides a solution for: when the charging signal of the terminal is monitored when the terminal is in the power camouflage mode, the display power of the terminal is camouflaged according to a preset charging camouflage policy, for example, the terminal displays a decrease in the amount of power generated. The actual charging speed creates the effect of the terminal "slow charging speed". Further, the display screen of the terminal can be controlled to display information characterizing the charging abnormality. For example, it is directly displayed that "charging abnormality!" or "charging failure!" Of course, those skilled in the art should understand that the terminal is actually in a normal state of charge. Preferably, after the charging signal to the terminal is monitored when the terminal is in the power camouflage mode, it may further determine whether the user continues to use the terminal. If no signal is used, the information indicating the charging failure may not be displayed, but the terminal is controlled. It shows the characteristics of slower charging speed, for example, making the camouflage power increase faster than the real charging speed. If the usage signal to the terminal is detected, information indicating the charging failure is displayed, and the use of the terminal is controlled, for example, the terminal is unable to run certain programs, or directly controls the terminal to enter the shutdown state.

Embodiment 3:

The present embodiment provides a device for controlling the amount of power displayed by the terminal. The method for controlling the amount of power displayed by the terminal provided in the first embodiment and the second embodiment can be applied to the device for controlling the amount of power displayed by the terminal provided in this embodiment.

The control device 2 for displaying the power of the terminal includes a first switching module 21, a masquerading policy generation module 22, and a masquerading processing module 23.

The first switching module 21 is configured to control the terminal to enter the power camouflage mode after receiving the first instruction input by the user.

The purpose of power disguise is to present false battery information to users of the terminal, especially children. Therefore, after the switching of the first switching module 21, the maximum difference between the power masquerading mode and the normal mode of the terminal is that the power displayed on the terminal is not the actual power, but the masqueraded power.

Since an existing terminal, such as a mobile phone, can enter a certain preset mode, the parameters of the mode can be set by the user. For example, if the user wants to put the mobile phone into the “outdoor mode”, before entering the outdoor mode, First set the parameters such as the incoming call volume, incoming call ringtone, and display brightness of the mobile phone in "outdoor mode". After the setting is completed, click OK to switch to the set "outdoor mode". Therefore, those skilled in the art can understand. Yes, before the first switching module 21 controls the terminal to enter the power camouflage mode, the user may also customize various parameters of the terminal in the power camouflage mode, for example, the user may customize the duration of entering the power camouflage mode or enter the power camouflage mode. The initial display power and so on.

The masquerading policy generation module 22 is capable of generating a power masquerading policy according to a preset rule according to the first instruction. The power consumption camouflage strategy is mainly for determining the amount of display power at each moment after the terminal enters the power masquerading mode. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3, the masquerading policy generation module 22 includes a binary determination module 221, and the binary determination module 221 It is used to determine the speed at which the display power is consumed after the initial display power and the power charge camouflage mode.

In this embodiment, the display device may be masqueraded at the beginning of the power masquerading mode, that is, the initial display power is disguised. As shown in FIG. 4, the binary determination module 221 includes a first determination sub-module 2211. When the first instruction input by the user includes a preset power, the first determination sub-module 2211 may set the preset power included in the first instruction. As the initial display power. In the subsequent time, the display power is consumed according to the real power consumption speed of the terminal, that is, the real power consumption speed of the terminal is used as the consumption speed of the display power.

Assuming that the current real power of the terminal is 78%, the user hopes that after the child has entertainment consumption, 60% of the remaining power can be used for normal communication, then the first determining sub-module 2211 can be used before the terminal enters the power camouflage mode. Camouflage into the battery according to the first user command input by the user In the mode, the initial display power is set to 18%. In the case of subsequent power camouflage mode, the display power at each moment can be determined according to the user's actual consumption of the terminal according to the user in the mode. For example, in a period of 180s, the child uses the terminal to entertain, so that the terminal consumes 1% of the real power, then the display power of the terminal should become 17% after entering the power camouflage mode for 3 minutes. In other words, this situation is equivalent to the user extracting a part of the real power for entertainment for children. When this part of the power is about to run out, the terminal is in a false "low battery" state.

As shown in FIG. 5, the binary determination module 221 includes a second determination sub-module 2212. When the first instruction does not include the preset power, but includes the preset duration, for example, when the user sets the parameter in the power camouflage mode, only the setting is performed. After the time period of entering the power masquerading mode, the second determining sub-module 2212 can estimate an initial display power according to the duration of the time period. For example, the time range of the entering power masquerading mode set by the user is 20:00-20. : 30, then you can know that the total time required for the user to enter the power camouflage mode is 30 minutes. According to the normal usage of the terminal, it can be determined that the power consumption of the half hour is about 12%, and then the second determining sub-module 2212 can use 12% as the initial display power. Certainly, the estimated initial display power of the second determining sub-module 2212 is not necessarily accurate, that is, the amount of power used in the preset duration is not necessarily the initial displayed power estimated by the second determining sub-module 2212. However, this does not affect the user's control of the child's use of the terminal time, because the initial display power estimated by the second determination sub-module 2212 is only one display value, and the time when the terminal is in the power camouflage mode is only based on the first instruction. The preset duration is determined, that is, it is determined only according to the time period input by the user, and is independent of the estimated initial display power.

For example, in the above example, when the time is about to arrive at 20:30, the terminal will tell the child that the battery is too low by voice prompting or changing the battery icon of the terminal to a more conspicuous red, even when the time reaches 20 : At 30 o'clock, it can also control the terminal to automatically shut down. In this half hour, if the child only turns on the application with lower power consumption level, the power consumption of the terminal may be lower than 12%. If the application opened by the child itself consumes more power, or multiple applications are enabled at the same time, the terminal The amount of power consumed may be much greater than 12%, but in general, the time the child uses the terminal must be 30 minutes preset by the user.

In summary, since the time when the terminal enters the power camouflage mode is not related to the estimated display power, the second determining sub-module 2212 does not necessarily have to perform the power consumption according to the normal power consumption of the terminal. The second determining sub-module 2212 can even determine an initial display power amount at will, However, in order to be close to the real situation, the estimated initial display power should be as low as possible.

As for how the second determining sub-module 2212 determines the consumption speed of the displayed power, it can be performed according to various strategies, for example, using the average consumption mode, assuming that the initial display power is 12%, and the user preset value is 30 minutes, then the second The determination sub-module 2212 determines that the reduction is required to be 0.4% per minute, and assuming that the terminal updates the display power to the lowest scale of 1%, then the masquerading processing module 23 updates the display power of the terminal to 11% when it enters the battery masquerading mode for 150 s. Similarly, non-average consumption mode can also be adopted. For example, the power consumption of each application in the terminal is evaluated in advance, and the power consumption levels of each application are determined to be high, medium, and low, respectively. In the application, the display power consumption is reduced to a small extent. When the power consumption level of the application that is turned on by the terminal is high, the display power is reduced by a large amount. Although the non-average consumption method is complicated, the analog power consumption is simulated. The process is more realistic.

The masquerading policy generated by the first determining sub-module 2211 enables the masquerading processing module 23 to further update the display power of the terminal, and also facilitates the user to control the remaining power. Applicable to the situation where the user needs to ensure that the terminal can be used normally after the child uses the terminal. The power masquerading strategy generated by the second determining sub-module 2212 can facilitate the user to accurately control the time of the child using the terminal, so that the user can safely hand over the terminal to the child without worrying about the child using the mobile terminal for a long time. Vision causes adverse effects, which in turn reduces the burden on the user and enhances the user experience.

After the power masquerading strategy is obtained, the masquerading processing module 23 needs to perform masquerading processing on the display power of the terminal according to the power masquerading strategy. For example, when the second determination sub-module 2212 determines the camouflage strategy The initial display power is 17%, and the display power consumption rate is 0.5% per minute. After 120s after entering the terminal, the masquerading processing module 23 masquerades the display power of the terminal to 16%, after the end of the 32nd minute. The camouflage processing module 23 controls the amount of power displayed by the terminal to be 1%.

In addition, at some point, the user does not pay attention to the display power of the terminal. For example, when the user concentrates on playing the game of the terminal, he does not notice the current amount of power. Therefore, in order to allow the user to obtain the false battery information without paying excessive attention to the power information of the terminal, the present embodiment also provides a preferred example: when the power of the terminal after the masquerading is lower than the preset value, A corresponding prompt message pops up indicating that the battery is too low. The prompt message that pops up can be a text message or an icon that indicates that the battery is too low. Since the child may not be familiar or sensitive to the text information, further, the voice message may be used to synchronize the prompt while the text prompt message is popped up. If the icon information is popped up, for example, a battery icon that is about to be exhausted, in order to be conspicuous, the battery icon can be enlarged, for example, to cover the entire display, and the color of the icon is changed to a red with warning effect. In addition, when the icon information is popped up, a voice prompt or a warning sound can be simultaneously synchronized.

In this embodiment, the masquerading policy generation module 22 generates a power masquerading strategy according to the first instruction input by the user and the preset rule, so that the masquerading processing module 23 performs masquerading processing on the display power of the terminal according to the power masquerading policy, so as to enter The terminal after the power camouflage mode consumes the camouflage power according to the power consumption camouflage strategy, so that the user in the power camouflage mode, for example, the child obtains the false power display information, achieves the purpose of controlling the time of the child using the terminal, and thereby reduces User's burden, improve User experience.

Embodiment 4:

This embodiment proposes a control device for displaying the power amount of the terminal different from that in the third embodiment. Please refer to FIG. 6:

The control device 2 for displaying the power of the terminal includes a first switching module 21, a masquerading policy generating module 22 and a masquerading processing module 23, and a low power prompting module 24.

In the power camouflage mode, if the display power of the terminal is lower than the first preset value, the low power prompting module 24 starts to perform a related prompt that the power is too low, preferably, after the terminal's camouflage power is lower than the first preset value. The low power prompting module 24 prompts the low battery at a certain time. For example, in this embodiment, the first preset value of the mobile phone is set to 3%, and after the camouflage, the display power of the mobile phone is lower than At 3%, the low power prompt module 24 displays a text message "The mobile phone is too low, that is, will be automatically turned off" every 1 minute, or displays an icon indicating low battery on the display screen. When the power displayed by the mobile phone is lower than the second preset value, for example, when the display power is lower than 1%, the low power prompting module 24 may also display the low battery prompt information or play the voice prompt information all the time. The size of the first preset value and the second preset value can be set by the user.

In a preferred example provided by the present invention, referring to FIG. 7, the terminal display power control device 2 includes a first switching module 21, a masquerading policy generation module 22 and a masquerading processing module 23, a low power prompt module 24, and low power control. Module 25, second switching module 26.

When the display power after the masquerading process is lower than the preset threshold, the low power control module 25 controls the terminal to enter the low power control state. In the low power control state, the terminal cannot run the first application, and the first application may be an application specified by the user in advance, for example, the user presets, in the low power control state, the terminal cannot run the "fruit ninja", "angry" Birds and other games. Preferably, the first application may also be all applications of the terminal. At this time, the low-power control module 25 may also control the terminal to enter a shutdown state, directly using the shutdown state of the terminal as a low-power control state, and when the low-power control state is a shutdown state. The first application includes all applications of the terminal. The size of the preset threshold can also be set by the user. It can be understood that the preset threshold should be smaller than the first preset value.

In a preferred embodiment, after the low power control module 25 controls the terminal to enter the low power control state, the second switching module 26 must monitor the preset recovery command to control the terminal to exit the power camouflage mode. Assume that the terminal in the low power control state is only unable to run certain applications specified by the user. The sequence, without entering the shutdown state, the preset recovery command can be a specific input information, for example, the user long presses the "volume-" button to exit the power camouflage mode. When the low power control state is the shutdown state, the preset recovery command may be the preset number of power on. For example, the second switching module 26 must monitor that the user has tried the power on 3 times until the terminal attempts to boot the fourth time. Only when the terminal switches to the normal mode, and the remaining power is displayed normally, there is no doubt that the first three starts should fail. Suppose the user enters the power camouflage mode with the initial display power of 10% when the actual power of the mobile phone is 50%. When the display power is lower than 0.1%, the low power control module 25 controls the mobile phone to enter the low power control state to make the power off. status. After the phone is turned off, the child may try a 1~2 boot attempt to continue to use the phone for entertainment. However, because the user has previously set the need to detect the 4th power-on signal, the second switching module 26 can make the mobile phone boot normally, so when the child tries to boot from 1 to 2, the mobile phone is too low to power on! After the prompt message, he may really think that the mobile phone is too low, thus giving up the idea of using the mobile phone for games or surfing the Internet.

As shown in FIG. 8, the control device 2 for displaying the amount of electric power in the terminal includes a first switching module 21, a masquerading policy generation module 22, a masquerading processing module 23, and a charging camouflage module 27.

The charging camouflage module 27 can prevent the child from attempting to charge the terminal to extend the usage time after the terminal enters the power camouflage mode. The embodiment further provides a solution: when the terminal is in the power camouflage mode, the charging camouflage module 27 monitors the charging signal to the terminal, and camouflages the display power of the terminal according to a preset charging camouflage policy, for example, causing the terminal to display the power. The growth rate is lower than the actual charging speed, creating the effect of the terminal "slow charging speed". Further, the charging camouflage module 27 can control the display screen of the terminal to display information characterizing the charging abnormality. For example, it is directly displayed that "charging abnormality!" or "charging failure!" Of course, those skilled in the art should understand that the terminal is actually in a normal state of charge. Preferably, after the terminal is in the power camouflage mode, the charging camouflage module 27 can further determine whether the user continues to use the terminal. If no signal is used, the information indicating the charging failure may not be displayed. However, the control terminal exhibits a slow charging characteristic, for example, the camouflage power is increased at a slower speed than the real charging speed. If the usage signal to the terminal is detected, the charging camouflage module 27 controls the terminal to display information characterizing the charging failure, and the charging camouflage module 27 also controls the use of the terminal, for example, making the terminal unable to run certain programs, or directly controlling The terminal enters the shutdown state.

In addition, in the third embodiment, the first determining submodule 2211 and the second determining submodule 2212 are born The power consumption camouflage strategy is to make the terminal enter the power camouflage mode with a camouflaged initial power. We call this camouflage mode "initial camouflage mode". However, in this embodiment, when entering the power camouflage mode, the power can be entered with real power, that is, the real power is directly used as the initial display power when entering the power camouflage mode. Only in the subsequent process, the power consumption of the terminal is consumed by the power consumption speed after the camouflage, that is, the display power of the terminal is "consumed" by a display power consumption speed different from the actual power consumption speed. This camouflage method is "intermediate camouflage mode".

As shown in FIG. 9, the binary determination module 221 includes a third determination sub-module 2213. The third determining sub-module 2213 determines the consumption speed of the display power according to the first instruction input by the user and the preset rule. For example, when the first instruction includes the preset duration input by the user, the third determining sub-module 2213 may set the current terminal. The actual power is used as the initial display power, and then the display power consumption rate is obtained according to the following formula:

In another example of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 10, the binary determination module 221 includes a fourth determination sub-module 2214. When the first instruction directly includes a preset power consumption speed, the fourth determination sub-module 2214 The preset power consumption speed of the user can be directly analyzed as the consumption speed of the display power. Similarly, the preset power consumption speed must be greater than the actual power consumption speed of the terminal.

According to the masquerading policy generated by the binary value determining module 221 in the third embodiment, if the user often uses the first determining sub-module 2211 to generate the masquerading policy and controls the time for the child to use the terminal, it is likely that the terminal enters the power masquerading mode each time. The initial display is the same amount of power, which may cause the child to perceive the battery disguise. For example, every time the user wants the child to use 10% of the power and then stops using it, the initial display power of the terminal into the power camouflage mode is 10% each time. According to the actual power consumption of the terminal, the probability of this situation is very small, so the simulation situation will be "distorted". Of course, in the initial masquerading mode, the second determining sub-module 2212 can further determine the initial display power of the terminal into the power masquerading mode according to the preset duration, and assume that the second determining sub-module 2212 estimates the initial according to the preset duration. The display power is not very accurate, but because the power consumption level of a terminal at different time points is roughly average, it will also cause the terminal to display the initial display power of the power camouflage mode every time. So in order to ensure that the initial display power is closer to the true level, It is more realistic to use the "intermediate camouflage method" to camouflage the power, because this camouflage is to increase the display power consumption speed, so that the display power of the terminal is quickly consumed in the invisible, so it is more difficult to be children. aware.

Embodiment 5:

In the following, taking the terminal as a mobile phone as an example, the method and device for controlling the display power of the terminal provided by the present invention are further elaborated, as shown in FIG. 11:

S1101: Receive a setting of each parameter of the user in the power camouflage mode.

For example, the user can enter the mobile phone operation interface, click the setting icon on the mobile phone desktop, enter the setting list, and select the power control for the mobile phone.

Assuming that the user first uses the power masquerading function, the user password can be set while setting the parameters, and the user password can be a number, a letter, or a combination thereof. It can also be information such as user gestures and user fingerprints obtained through acquisition. When the user sets the user password, when using the power masquerading function later, the user may need to input the matching password information to use normally.

The parameters that the user can set include the way to enter the power camouflage mode, whether it is the initial camouflage mode or the intermediate camouflage mode. After the user selects the corresponding camouflage mode, other parameters in the mode need to be further set. For example, when the user selects to enter the power camouflage mode in the initial camouflage mode, either the initial power in the power camouflage mode needs to be customized, or the time period in the power camouflage mode needs to be set. If the current phone's battery is 47% and the user wants to reserve 35% of the battery for their subsequent use, he may set the initial charge to 12%.

S1102: Receive a first instruction of the user, and control the mobile phone to enter a power camouflage mode.

After the user sets each parameter and clicks "OK", this "OK" is equivalent to a switching finger. In this embodiment, after receiving the signal that the user triggers “OK” on the mobile phone, the mobile phone is controlled to enter the power camouflage mode with an initial power of 12%.

S1103: masquerade the real power of the mobile phone according to the first instruction and the preset policy.

Because in this camouflage, the power camouflage mode entered by the initial power reserved by the user, when the camouflage power is subsequently "consumed", it can be simply based on the actual power consumption, for example, the real power consumption of the mobile phone. After 3%, the mobile phone power after camouflage is 9%, and the remaining battery power is also 9%.

S1104. When detecting that the power of the mobile phone after the camouflage is lower than the first preset value, start low battery charging. Show.

The first preset value is a boundary for performing a low battery prompt or not. When the masqueted power is lower than the first preset value, the prompt is started. Otherwise, the prompt is not prompted. The prompting strategy may refer to the second embodiment, for example, every second. Prompted once at a fixed time. Preferably, the first preset value in the embodiment is 3%, and when the power of the masqueraded mobile phone is less than 3%, the prompt is prompted every one minute.

S1105: When detecting that the power of the mobile phone is zero, the mobile phone is controlled to enter a shutdown state.

Since the shutdown state belongs to a low-power control state, controlling the mobile phone to enter the shutdown state essentially enters the low-power control state. It can be understood by those skilled in the art that the mobile phone may not enter the shutdown state, but only the first application cannot be run, and the first application may be some application specified by the user.

S1106. Monitor and count the number of times the mobile phone attempts to boot.

After entering the low power control state, it is necessary to monitor the preset recovery command. When the low power state is the shutdown state, the preset power on time can be used as the preset recovery command.

S1107. Determine whether the number of power-on times reaches a preset value. If yes, execute S1108. If no, continue to execute S1106.

Here, the preset number of power-on actions is a recovery command. If the power-on number reaches the preset value, the normal mode can be entered. Otherwise, it is necessary to continue counting the number of times the mobile phone attempts to power on.

It can be understood that each booting before reaching the preset booting number should end in failure. For example, the user can be prompted to "the mobile phone is too low to be turned on".

S1108, control the mobile phone to start normally and display the real power.

After the user has performed the preset number of power-on actions, the mobile phone can be controlled to exit the power camouflage mode and enter the normal mode. In normal mode, the phone can display its true battery level.
