In related technologies, when a user uses a terminal (such as a mobile phone), he often encounters a situation where the power of the mobile phone is too low, but at this time, the user may still need to use the application program installed in the mobile phone, for example, when the battery of the mobile phone is low , the user may need to conduct a video conference with the customer through the conference software on the mobile phone after 1 hour; for another example, when the battery of the mobile phone is low, the user may be in an unfamiliar place and need to use the navigation software on the mobile phone after 30 minutes to navigate. However, since the power of the mobile phone will continue to decrease as time goes by when the battery is low, there is no way to guarantee the user's subsequent use of the applications installed in the mobile phone.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention proposes a method and device for controlling the terminal power. After the target application program to be used is determined, the terminal power can be controlled according to the usage information of the target application program and the current power information of the terminal. Therefore, when the power of the terminal is too low, the power saving operation is performed according to the user's requirement for using the target application program, so as to ensure the user's use of the target application program.

The present disclosure will be described in detail below through specific embodiments.

Fig. 1 is a flow chart of a method for controlling terminal power according to an exemplary embodiment. As shown in Fig. 1, it is applied to a terminal, and the method includes the following steps:

In step 101, a target application program to be used is determined.

Wherein, the target application program can include the application program that the user will use soon, and the user can set the target application program on the terminal. is the conference software; for another example, the user may be in an unfamiliar place and needs to use the navigation software installed on the mobile phone after 30 minutes, then the target application is the navigation software. Of course, the target application can also be other users The specified application program is not limited in this disclosure.

In step 102, the target application program's application to-be-used duration and application unit power consumption are obtained.

For example, the terminal can obtain the application waiting time input by the user for the target application program, and the application waiting time is the expected using time of the user. Continuing to take the above-mentioned conference software and navigation software as examples, for example, the user needs to use the application after 1 hour. If the conferencing software is used for video conferencing and the duration of use is 50 minutes, then the application duration is 50 minutes; for another example, the user needs to use navigation software for navigation after 30 minutes, and the usage duration is 40 minutes, then the application duration is 50 minutes. The duration is 40 minutes.

Wherein, the unit power consumption of the application may be the power consumption of the target application program in a unit time.

In step 103, the current power information of the terminal is obtained.

Wherein, the power information includes the current remaining power of the terminal and the power consumption of a standby unit.

In step 104, the current standby time of the terminal is obtained according to the waiting time of the application, the unit power consumption of the application and the power information, and the expected standby time is obtained according to the waiting time of the application and the waiting time input by the user.

For example, the terminal can obtain the waiting time input by the user. The expected waiting time is the sum of the waiting time of the application and the waiting time. Continuing to take the above conference software and navigation software as examples, for example, the user needs to use the conference software after 1 hour For a video conference, and the usage time is 50 minutes, the waiting time is 1 hour, and the expected standby time is 1 hour and 50 minutes; for another example, the user needs to use navigation software for navigation after 30 minutes, and the usage time is 40 minutes , then the waiting time is 30 minutes, and the expected standby time is 1 hour and 10 minutes.

In step 105, when the current standby time of the terminal is less than or equal to the expected standby time, a power saving operation is performed.

Wherein, the power saving operation includes an operation of reducing power consumption of the terminal.

In this step, the power saving operation includes at least one of the following: controlling the terminal to enter a sleep state and/or shutdown state; stopping the application program installed on the terminal.

Using the above method, after determining the target application program to be used, the terminal power can be controlled according to the usage information of the target application program and the current power information of the terminal, so that when the terminal power is too low, according to the user's control of the target application program Use demand for power-saving operations to ensure user usage of target applications.

Fig. 2 is a flowchart of a method for controlling terminal power according to an exemplary embodiment. As shown in Fig. 2, it is applied to a terminal, and the power saving operation in this embodiment is to control the terminal to enter a shutdown state and/or or sleep state as an example, the method includes the following steps:

In step 201, a target application program to be used is determined.

Wherein, the target application program can include the application program that the user will use soon, and the user can set the target application program on the terminal. is the conference software; for another example, the user may be in an unfamiliar place and needs to use the navigation software installed on the mobile phone after 30 minutes, then the target application is the navigation software. Of course, the target application can also be other users The specified application program is not limited in this disclosure.

In step 202, the target application program's application to-be-used duration and application unit power consumption are acquired.

For example, the terminal can obtain the application waiting time input by the user for the target application program, and the application waiting time is the expected using time of the user. Continuing to take the above-mentioned conference software and navigation software as examples, for example, the user needs to use the application after 1 hour. If the conferencing software is used for video conferencing and the duration of use is 50 minutes, then the application duration is 50 minutes; for another example, the user needs to use navigation software for navigation after 30 minutes, and the usage duration is 40 minutes, then the application duration is 50 minutes. The duration is 40 minutes.

Wherein, the unit power consumption of the application may be the power consumption of the target application program in a unit time.

In step 203, the current remaining battery power and standby unit power consumption of the terminal are acquired.

In step 204, the current standby time of the terminal is obtained according to the waiting time of the application, the unit power consumption of the application, the remaining power and the power consumption of the standby unit.

In this step, the current standby time of the terminal can be obtained by the following formula:

Among them, T represents the current standby time of the terminal; P represents the current remaining power of the terminal; P _y represents the current standby power consumption of the terminal; T _x represents the waiting time of the target application; P _x represents the application of the target application unit power consumption.

In step 205, the expected standby time is obtained according to the waiting time of the application and the waiting time input by the user.

For example, the terminal can obtain the waiting time input by the user. The expected waiting time is the sum of the waiting time of the application and the waiting time. Continuing to take the above conference software and navigation software as examples, for example, the user needs to use the conference software after 1 hour For a video conference, and the usage time is 50 minutes, the waiting time is 1 hour, and the expected standby time is 1 hour and 50 minutes; for another example, the user needs to use navigation software for navigation after 30 minutes, and the usage time is 40 minutes , then the waiting time is 30 minutes, and the expected standby time is 1 hour and 10 minutes.

In step 206, it is determined whether the current standby time of the terminal is less than or equal to the expected standby time.

When it is determined that the current standby time of the terminal is longer than the expected standby time, it means that when the terminal maintains the current running state, the remaining power of the terminal can guarantee the user's use of the target application program, and perform step 207;

When it is determined that the current standby time of the terminal is less than or equal to the expected standby time, it means that when the terminal maintains the current running state, the remaining power of the terminal cannot guarantee the user's use of the target application, and step 208 is executed.

In step 207, the terminal maintains the current running state.

In step 208, the sleep unit power consumption when the terminal enters the sleep state is acquired.

Wherein, the dormant unit power consumption is the unit power consumption of the terminal in a dormant state.

In step 209, a first theoretical sleep duration of the terminal is acquired according to the sleep unit power consumption, the remaining power, the application to-be-used duration of the target application program, and the application unit power consumption.

In this step, the first theoretical sleep duration can be obtained by the following formula:

Among them, T ₁ represents the first theoretical sleep duration; P represents the current remaining power of the terminal; T _x represents the application waiting time of the target application program; P _x represents the application unit power consumption of the target application program; P ₁ represents the sleep unit power consumption.

In step 210, it is determined whether the sum of the first theoretical sleep duration and the application standby duration is greater than or equal to the expected standby duration.

When it is determined that the sum of the first theoretical sleep duration and the application standby duration is greater than or equal to the expected standby duration, it means that the terminal has reduced power consumption by entering the sleep state, thereby saving power and ensuring that the user is within the expected standby time. For the use of the target application program, execute step 211;

When it is determined that the sum of the first theoretical sleep duration and the application standby duration is less than the expected standby duration, it means that even if the terminal enters the sleep state, it cannot guarantee that the user can use the target program within the expected standby time, then perform step 212 to 215.

In step 211, the terminal is controlled to enter a sleep state.

Wherein, the dormant duration of the dormant state is the waiting time.

When the dormant time after entering the dormant state reaches the waiting time, the terminal switches from the dormant state to the running state.

In step 212, the startup power consumption of the terminal and the shutdown power consumption of the terminal are obtained.

In step 213, the sum of the startup power consumption and the shutdown power consumption is obtained.

In step 214, the product of the target application's application to-be-used duration and the application's unit power consumption is obtained.

In step 215, perform a shutdown operation on the terminal according to the difference between the remaining power, the obtained sum of the power consumption for power-on and the power consumption for power-off, and the product.

In this step, the terminal can be shut down through the following steps:

In step S1, it is determined whether the difference between the remaining power and the obtained sum of the power consumption of power-on and the power consumption of power-off is greater than or equal to the product of the waiting time of the application and the power consumption of the application unit;

When the difference between the remaining power and the obtained sum of the power consumption of power-on and the power consumption of power-off is greater than or equal to the product of the waiting time of the application and the power consumption of the application unit, it means that the remaining power of the terminal is sufficient to ensure the user In the case of normal use of the target application program during the waiting period of the application, the terminal cannot be completely kept in the dormant state during the waiting period, so it is necessary to control the terminal to enter the shutdown state during a part of the waiting period to save power , then execute step S2 to step S3;

When the difference between the remaining power and the obtained sum of the startup power consumption and the shutdown power consumption is less than the product of the waiting time of the application and the unit power consumption of the application, it means that the remaining power of the terminal cannot guarantee the For normal use of the target application program within the waiting time period, the terminal needs to be controlled to enter the shutdown state within the waiting time period, and step S4 is performed.

In step S2, the second theoretical sleep duration of the terminal is acquired according to the remaining power, the sleep unit power consumption, the power-on power consumption, the power-off power consumption, the application waiting time and the application unit power consumption.

In this step, the second theoretical sleep duration can be obtained by the following formula:

Wherein, T ₂ represents the second theoretical dormancy duration; P represents the current remaining power of the terminal; P ₂ represents power consumption when powering on; P ₃ represents power consumption when powering off; T _x represents the application duration of the target application program to be used; P _x represents the application unit power consumption of the target application; P ₁ represents the sleep unit power consumption.

In step S3, the shutdown duration is obtained according to the expected standby duration, the second theoretical sleep duration, and the application to-be-used duration, and the terminal is controlled to enter the shutdown state. When the shutdown duration is reached, the terminal is started and the terminal is controlled to enter The sleep state, and the sleep duration of the sleep state is the second theoretical sleep duration.

In this step, the sum of the second theoretical sleep duration and the application standby duration can be calculated, and the expected standby duration is subtracted from the sum of the second theoretical sleep duration and the application standby duration to obtain the shutdown duration.

Wherein, after the sleep duration of the terminal after entering the sleep state reaches the second theoretical sleep duration, the terminal switches from the sleep state to the running state.

It should be noted that this step S3 also includes the following implementation methods: obtain the shutdown duration according to the expected standby duration, the second theoretical sleep duration, and the application standby duration, and control the terminal to enter the sleep state. When the duration is long, control the terminal to enter the shutdown state, and start the terminal after reaching the shutdown duration.

In step S4, the terminal is controlled to enter the shutdown state, and when the waiting time is reached, the terminal is started.

In this way, when the terminal is low in power, the remaining power of the terminal is saved by shutting down the terminal, and the power is set to be turned on after the waiting time, so that the remaining power of all remaining power except power consumption for power-on and power consumption for power-off are used for the user's use of the target application.

In order to improve user experience, in a possible implementation manner, the actual waiting time of the target application can be obtained according to the remaining power of the terminal and the application unit power consumption of the target application, and the actual waiting time The usage duration prompts the user by means of a prompt message, so that the user can use the target application program according to the actual duration to be used.

Using the above method, after the target application program to be used is determined, the terminal power can be controlled according to the usage information of the target application program and the terminal power information, so that when the terminal power is too low, according to the user's use of the target application program It is required to control the terminal to enter a sleep state and/or a power-off state to ensure that the user can use the target application program.

Fig. 3 is a flow chart of a method for controlling terminal power according to an exemplary embodiment. As shown in Fig. 3, it is applied to a terminal, and the power saving operation in this embodiment is to stop the application program installed in the terminal As an example, the method includes the following steps:

In step 301, a target application program to be used is determined.

Wherein, the target application program can include the application program that the user will use soon, and the user can set the target application program on the terminal. is the conference software; for another example, the user may be in an unfamiliar place and needs to use the navigation software installed on the mobile phone after 30 minutes, then the target application is the navigation software. Of course, the target application can also be other users The specified application program is not limited in this disclosure.

In step 302, the target application program's application to-be-used duration and application unit power consumption are obtained.

For example, the terminal can obtain the application waiting time input by the user for the target application program, and the application waiting time is the expected using time of the user. Continuing to take the above-mentioned conference software and navigation software as examples, for example, the user needs to use the application after 1 hour. If the conferencing software is used for video conferencing and the duration of use is 50 minutes, then the application duration is 50 minutes; for another example, the user needs to use navigation software for navigation after 30 minutes, and the usage duration is 40 minutes, then the application duration is 50 minutes. The duration is 40 minutes.

Wherein, the unit power consumption of the application may be the power consumption of the target application program in a unit time.

In step 303, the current remaining battery power and standby unit power consumption of the terminal are acquired.

In step 304, the current standby time of the terminal is obtained according to the waiting time of the application, the unit power consumption of the application, the remaining power, and the power consumption of the standby unit.

In this step, the current standby time of the terminal is calculated by the following formula:

Wherein, T represents the current standby time of the terminal; P represents the current remaining power of the terminal; P _y represents the current standby unit power consumption of the terminal; T _x represents the application waiting time of the target application _; Application unit power consumption of the target application described above.

In step 305, the expected standby time is obtained according to the waiting time of the application and the waiting time input by the user.

For example, the terminal can obtain the waiting time input by the user. The expected waiting time is the sum of the waiting time of the application and the waiting time. Continuing to take the above conference software and navigation software as examples, for example, the user needs to use the conference software after 1 hour For a video conference, and the usage time is 50 minutes, the waiting time is 1 hour, and the expected standby time is 1 hour and 50 minutes; for another example, the user needs to use navigation software for navigation after 30 minutes, and the usage time is 40 minutes , then the waiting time is 30 minutes, and the expected standby time is 1 hour and 10 minutes.

In step 306, it is determined whether the current standby time of the terminal is less than or equal to the expected standby time.

When it is determined that the current standby time of the terminal is longer than the expected standby time, it means that when the terminal maintains the current running state, the remaining power of the terminal can guarantee the user's use of the target application program, and perform step 307;

When it is determined that the current standby time of the terminal is less than or equal to the expected standby time, it means that when the terminal maintains the current running state, the remaining power of the terminal cannot guarantee the use of the target application by the user, and steps 308 and 309 are performed.

In step 307, the terminal maintains the current running state.

In step 308, the power saving priority of the application program installed on the terminal is obtained.

Wherein, the power saving priority may include the power saving priority input by the user, or the power saving priority determined according to the application unit power consumption of the application program installed in the terminal.

In step 309, the application programs installed on the terminal are sequentially stopped according to the order of the power saving priority until the current standby time of the terminal is greater than the expected standby time input by the user.

Among them, according to the power saving priority input by the user, for example, the application programs can be sorted according to the user's needs, so that when the terminal performs the power saving operation, the application programs can be closed in order according to the order until the terminal The current standby time is greater than the expected standby time entered by the user.
