detailed description

The present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings in conjunction with the embodiments. It should be noted that the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments may be combined with each other without conflict.

In the embodiment, a control power saving setting is provided. FIG. 1 is a flowchart of controlling power saving settings according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 1 , the process includes the following steps:

S102: Collect at least two display interface screenshots in the first preset time;

S104: determining that the display interface screenshots are similar or identical;

S106: Control the power saving setting when the display interface screenshots are determined to be similar or identical.

By collecting at least two display interface screenshots in the first preset time, and determining that the screenshots are similar or identical, it can be relatively accurately determined that the current user does not actively use the terminal, so the timing of controlling the power saving setting can be accurately determined.

In an exemplary embodiment, determining whether the display interface screenshots are similar includes: calculating similar values between the display interface screenshots, when similar values between the display interface screenshots are at a first preset The reference value range determines whether the display interface screenshots are similar or identical.

By calculating the similarity values between the screenshots of the display interface, for example, using a perceptual hash algorithm or the like, a numerical value can be obtained to evaluate the degree of similarity between the images. When the similarity value is in the first preset reference value range, it can be conveniently determined that the screenshots are similar, thereby helping to accurately determine the timing of the power-saving mode.

In an exemplary embodiment, the calculating the similarity value between the screenshots of the display interface includes: calculating a screenshot taken during the first preset time and each other screenshot collected in the first preset time The individual similarity value, the similarity value between the display interface screenshots is equal to the average of a plurality of the individual similarity values.

For the capture of more than two screenshots of the display interface, especially for multiple screenshots of the display interface, calculate the individual similarity values between a screenshot and each of the other screenshots, and use these average values to determine these Whether the screenshots are similar or not, the similar or the same judgment of the screenshot can be realized with less calculation amount, thereby helping to accurately determine the timing of controlling the power saving setting.

In an exemplary embodiment, the determining that the display interface screenshots are similar or identical includes: determining that the first screenshot captured during the first preset time is similar to the other screenshots collected during the first preset time Or the same.

Comparing the first screenshot with other screenshots to determine whether the display interface screenshots are similar or identical, and can better evaluate the overall situation of the screenshot change in the first preset time, that is, in the first preset time The interface changes did not reach the level that the user might use. This helps to accurately determine the timing of controlling the power saving settings.

In an exemplary embodiment, the collecting, by the method, the at least two display interface screenshots in the first preset time, including: collecting at least two displays in the first preset time when the preset condition is met a screenshot of the interface; wherein the preset condition includes at least one of the following: the current display interface is a third-party application interface; and the non-operation time is greater than the second preset time.

By combining the unoperated time, it is possible to more accurately determine whether the user is using the terminal. If it is determined whether the current interface is a third-party user interface, the user usually does not use the system interface for a long time without performing an operation, and thus the method does not need to be judged. The two methods have their own characteristics, which can be considered combined or used separately to achieve accurate judgment of the power saving setting on time.

In an exemplary embodiment, the power saving setting in the method includes at least one of: reducing or extinguishing a current application brightness; decreasing or turning off a current application volume.

By changing the current application brightness and the application volume, the power saving settings under the current application can be realized without changing the related settings of the system. When the user does not use the current application, the power saving setting does not affect the normal use of the user, thereby better realizing the timing of controlling the power saving setting.

In an exemplary embodiment, the controlling power saving setting includes: indicating a degree of similarity between the screenshots by the similarity between the screenshots of the display interface; controlling the power saving setting according to the degree of similarity.

When it is judged that the current screenshots are similar but the degree is not high, for example, when the fingerprint is calculated by the perceptual hash algorithm in the interval of 6 or more and less than 10, the current application brightness can be lowered. At this time, the possibility that the user is using the device is low, and by lowering the current application brightness, the balance between the user's use and the judgment control power saving setting can be achieved.

When it is judged that there is a high degree of similarity between the screenshots, for example, when the fingerprint is calculated to be greater than or equal to 3 and less than 6 by the perceptual hash algorithm, it can be judged that the user interface is in a relatively static scene at this time, and usually no audio is used. Output, so the current application volume can be reduced or turned off. In this scenario, the likelihood of user usage is further reduced, thus further reducing the current application brightness. Each of the two methods has its own characteristics, which can be considered in combination or separately, to accurately determine the timing of setting the power saving mode.

When it is judged that the display interface screenshots are highly similar or identical, for example, when the fingerprint is calculated to be less than 3 by the perceptual hash algorithm, it is generally determined that the user has not used the terminal, and thus the current application brightness is extinguished. It is possible to further accurately determine the timing of controlling the power saving setting.

The present disclosure also provides another embodiment based on the same inventive concept.

A method of controlling power saving setting is provided in this embodiment. 2 is a flow chart of another method of controlling power saving setting according to the embodiment. The process includes:

S201: Calling the frame control interface to implement screen monitoring and physical button monitoring, and using a timer to obtain a response time of the user not operating. It is determined whether the response time of the user not operating satisfies the second preset time T2.

The accuracy of judging the user's usage status by content is enhanced by monitoring the user's inoperative time.

S202: Acquire a current user interface attribute, and determine whether the current interface is a third-party application interface. For example, in the Android system, use the ActivityManager to obtain the current RunningTasks (running tasks), and use the PackageName of the topActivity in the RunningTasks to obtain and determine the current interface properties of the system.

For the system application interface, there is usually no need for long-term use, and there is no long-term output of sound, so it is not possible to monitor for system applications.

S203: When the accumulated continuous inoperative response time reaches the second set time T2, and the current system interface is a third-party interface, the system screenshot broadcast is sent, and the third preset time T3 is performed within the consecutive first time T1. Display Screenshots of the interface are displayed and these photos are temporarily stored.

By taking a screenshot of the interval T3 time for the first consecutive preset time, a screenshot showing the change of the application user interface during the time period can be obtained for subsequent analysis processing. By adjusting the third preset time, it is possible to effectively increase the sample that judges the degree of interface change in the first time, prevent the error caused by the sample being too small, or reduce the sample of the degree of interface change in the first time, and reduce the calculation of whether the calculation is similar. the amount.

(4) Use the perceptual hash algorithm to obtain the similarity between these screenshots, and calculate the average of the similarities between these screenshots.

For example, by calculating the similarity between the first screenshot acquired in the first time and the other screenshots acquired in the first time, the calculation amount of calculating the similarity can be reduced. At the same time, the first screenshot is compared with other screenshots, which can effectively judge whether the user interface is in a relatively small change state within the first preset time. If further adjustment of the judgment period is needed to achieve calibration accuracy, the adjustment can be directly adjusted. Preset the first time to achieve.

(5) The average value of the acquired similarity is compared with the set value, and when the condition is satisfied, the power saving mode is started, thereby achieving the power saving requirement.

When the user interface changes relatively little, the user is considered to be in a state in which the user is not using the application in the case where the user has not operated for a long time, so the power saving mode is started. At the same time, according to the similarity degree, different power saving settings can be used to accurately determine the balance between the node setting and the user's use, and better realize the timing of judging and controlling the power saving setting.

In the present embodiment, a control power saving setting device is provided, and FIG. 3 is a block diagram of a control power saving setting device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 3, the device includes the following:

The screenshot module 11; the judging module 12; the power saving module 13; the screenshot module 11 collects at least two display interface screenshots in a first preset time; the judging module 12 compares the display interface screenshots collected by the display interface screenshot module 11 Determining that the display interface screenshots are similar or identical; when the display interface screenshots are determined to be similar or identical, the determining module 12 sends a determination signal to the power saving module 13, and the power saving module 13 controls power saving. Settings.

By collecting at least two display interface screenshots in the first preset time, and determining that the screenshots are similar or identical, it can be relatively accurately determined that the current user does not actively use the terminal, so that the timing of accurately controlling the power saving setting can be realized.

In an exemplary embodiment, the apparatus further includes: a decision module; and when the determining module detects that the preset condition is met, notifying the display interface screenshot module to start an acquisition operation. The preset condition includes at least one of the following: the current display interface is a third-party application display interface; and the non-operation time is greater than the second preset time.

By combining the unoperated time, it is possible to more accurately determine whether the user is using the terminal. If it is determined whether the current interface is a third-party user interface, the user usually does not use the system interface for a long time without performing an operation, and thus the method does not need to be judged. The two methods have their own characteristics, which can be considered in combination or separately, to accurately determine the timing of the power-saving mode.

In the embodiment, a mobile terminal is provided, and FIG. 4 is a diagram of a mobile terminal module according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 4, the terminal includes: a processor 21; a display screen 22; the processor 21 is connected to the display screen 22; the processor 21 is configured to collect the display screen 22 within a first preset time. At least two display interface screenshots; determining that the display interface screenshots are similar or identical; when the display interface screenshots are determined to be similar or identical, the control Power saving settings.
