If the timer time setting includes the sleep time, the timer is still in the working state when the current system is in standby. System, the system used by the hardware where the timer is located, or the system of hardware devices associated with the timer.

In step S6, the sleep time is not included in the timeout period, and when the system is in standby, the control timer is paused, and after the system wakes up, the timer is continued;

Before the timer starts to time the task, check whether the thread sleep time (ie sleep time) is included. If the timer time setting does not include the sleep time, the timer is also paused when the current system is in standby, waiting for the current system. After stopping sleep and being woken up, the timer continues to perform timing operations.

Further, it also includes:

Step S7, after the timer receives the time task, if the timer mode is to be set, the timer setting instruction is sent to the timer, and after the timer receives the timing setting instruction, the timer is set according to the content of the timing setting instruction. In the manner, the timing mode is divided into two types, that is, including sleep time and not including sleep time.
