Detailed ways

The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

With the functional upgrade of communication devices in electronic devices, some communication devices have supported multiple modes to run simultaneously. For example, taking the Bluetooth communication module as an example, the Bluetooth communication module can support BR/EDR (Basic Rate/Enhanced Data Rate) mode and BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) mode to run simultaneously.

However, after studying the relevant communication devices supporting multiple modes, the inventors found that when multiple modes are running simultaneously, each mode of the relevant communication devices supporting multiple modes will occupy the resources corresponding to the communication device, which will cause the tasks corresponding to a certain mode to be unable to be performed well. Taking the Bluetooth communication module as an example, when the BR/EDR mode and the BLE mode of the Bluetooth communication module are turned on at the same time, if the Bluetooth communication module is triggered to establish a communication connection with other devices based on the BR/EDR mode, and during the establishment of the communication connection, the Bluetooth communication module may still scan the external device through the BLE mode, so that the BR/EDR mode and the BLE mode will occupy the resources corresponding to the Bluetooth communication module, which will slow down the rate of establishing a communication connection with other devices based on the BR/EDR mode, or even fail to successfully establish a communication connection.

Therefore, in order to improve this problem, the inventor has proposed a device control method, apparatus, electronic device and storage medium provided in the present application. When the communication device of the electronic device is in a multi-mode state, if the communication device initiates a communication connection through the first mode, a second mode is obtained, wherein the second mode is a mode other than the first mode, thereby reducing the occupation of the resources corresponding to the communication device by the second mode. Thus, in the above manner, when the electronic device triggers the communication device to establish a connection in the first mode, the occupation of the resources corresponding to the communication device by the first mode can be improved by reducing the occupation of the resources corresponding to the communication device by the second mode, thereby enabling the communication device to more effectively perform the tasks corresponding to the first mode.

An application scenario involved in an embodiment of the present application is first introduced below.

As shown in FIG1 , an application scenario involved in an embodiment of the present application includes an electronic device 100, an electronic device 200, and an electronic device 210. The communication device of the electronic device 100 supports starting the first mode and the second mode at the same time. For example, a communication connection can be established with the electronic device 200 through the first mode, and the electronic device 210 can be scanned through the second mode.

The embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Please refer to FIG. 2 , an embodiment of the present application provides a device control method, which is applied to an electronic device, and the method includes:

S110: If the communication device of the electronic device is in a multi-mode state, and the communication device initiates a communication connection through a first mode, a second mode is acquired, where the second mode is a mode other than the first mode.

Among them, in the embodiment of the present application, the communication device involved is a device that supports multiple modes. Among them, the supported multiple modes can be understood as multiple communication modes. For example, if the communication device is a Bluetooth communication module, the multiple communication modes supported by the Bluetooth communication module include BR/EDR mode and BLE mode. When a certain mode of the communication device is started, the communication device can complete the corresponding task based on the started mode. For example, still taking the communication device as a Bluetooth communication module as an example, if the BR/EDR mode of the Bluetooth communication module is in the started state, the Bluetooth communication module can establish a connection with other devices through the BR/EDR mode, thereby completing the connection task. After the connection is established, Bluetooth communication can be performed based on the established connection to complete the data communication task. If the BLE mode of the Bluetooth communication module is in the started state, the Bluetooth communication module can scan other devices based on the BLE mode to complete the device discovery task. In addition, for the scanned device, it is also possible to establish a connection based on the BLE mode to complete the task of low-power connection.

When the communication device supports multiple modes, the electronic device can trigger a certain mode of the communication device to start, or trigger multiple modes of the communication device to start. When at least two modes of the communication device are in the start-up state, it is determined that the communication device is in a multi-mode state. For example, if the BR/EDR mode and the BLE mode of the Bluetooth communication module are both in the start-up state, it is determined that the Bluetooth communication module is in a multi-mode state.

In the embodiment of the present application, the mode used to establish a connection with other devices can be used as the first mode. For example, taking the Bluetooth communication module as an example, if the electronic device triggers the Bluetooth communication module to establish a communication connection with other devices in BR/EDR mode, then the electronic device will use the BR/EDR mode as the first mode and the BLE mode as the second mode.

S120: reducing the occupation degree of the second mode on the target resource, where the target resource is a resource corresponding to the communication device.

It should be noted that when multiple modes of a communication device are activated, the multiple modes may occupy resources corresponding to the communication device, wherein the corresponding resources for the communication device include chip resources and antenna resources.

Among them, the chip resources represent the resources used to process the data in the executed tasks. For example, if the communication device currently needs to send data to other devices, then it may be necessary to consume chip resources to assemble the data to be sent into a specified format based on the adopted communication protocol. For example, if the electronic device needs to send the number "1" to other devices, then the communication device will encapsulate the data to be sent into a specified format based on the adopted communication protocol. For another example, if the communication device receives data sent by other devices, it is necessary to consume chip resources to parse the received data and extract useful data from it. Among them, the useful data is the data that other devices actually need to transmit to the electronic device. For example, if other devices need to send the number "0" to the electronic device, then the data sent by other devices received by the communication device of the electronic device will be the data after the number "0" is encapsulated, and then the communication device will use its chip resources to decapsulate the data to extract useful information, that is, the number "0".

Among them, antenna resources represent resources for sending or receiving data. It is understandable that after the data that an electronic device needs to transmit to other devices is converted into a corresponding wireless signal by a communication device, the wireless signal needs to be transmitted through an antenna so that other devices can receive the transmitted wireless signal through their own antennas, thereby allowing other devices to extract the transmitted data from the received wireless signal.

As a way, when the communication device of the electronic device is in a multi-mode state, multiple working modes can occupy the resources corresponding to the communication device in a time-division multiplexing manner. Taking the Bluetooth communication module as an example, if the BR/EDR mode and the BLE mode of the Bluetooth communication module are both in the started state, the BR/EDR mode and the BLE mode will occupy the resources corresponding to the communication device in a time-division multiplexing manner. Then in an embodiment of the present application, in order to enable the communication device to better complete the task corresponding to the first mode, the occupation degree of the resources corresponding to the communication device by the second mode can be reduced. Among them, reducing the occupation degree of the resources corresponding to the communication device by the second mode can be understood as reducing the time that the task corresponding to the second mode occupies the resources corresponding to the communication device.

For example, if the task corresponding to the first mode is to establish a connection with other devices, and the task corresponding to the second mode is to perform device scanning. Then reducing the degree of occupation of the target resource by the second mode can be understood as reducing the time that the task of performing device scanning occupies the resources corresponding to the communication device. As shown in Figure 3, Figure 3 represents the occupation of a certain resource, wherein the overall occupation of the resource can be divided into multiple first time periods, and each first time period can include a first usage time and time other than the first usage time. Optionally, the first time is the occupation time of the resource by the first mode, and the time other than the first usage time is the occupation time of the resource by the second mode. Then, in the case where it is necessary to reduce the occupation time of the resource by the second mode, the length of the time other than the first usage time will be shortened, and the first usage time in the first time period will be longer.

Among them, in the embodiment of the present application, there can be multiple ways to reduce the occupation degree of the target resource by the second mode. As one way, reducing the occupation degree of the target resource by the second mode, the target resource is the resource corresponding to the communication device, including: pausing the task corresponding to the second mode. As another way, reducing the occupation degree of the target resource by the second mode, the target resource is the resource corresponding to the communication device, including: ending the task corresponding to the second mode. Among them, pausing the task corresponding to the second mode can be understood as temporarily stopping the task corresponding to the second mode, that is, the task corresponding to the second mode is still in a reserved state, but the communication device will not perform the corresponding task temporarily. For example, if the second mode is the BLE mode of the Bluetooth communication module, the task corresponding to the current BLE mode is to scan other devices. Then, in the case of pausing the task corresponding to the BLE mode, the electronic device will temporarily stop scanning other devices. Then in this case of ending the task corresponding to the second mode, the electronic device will directly end the corresponding scanning task without reserving the scanning task.

It should be noted that, in the case of pausing the task corresponding to the second mode, the occupation degree of the target resource by the second task can be reduced to a certain extent, or the occupation degree of the target resource by the second task can be reduced to 0. In the case of ending the task corresponding to the second mode, the occupation degree of the target resource by the second task will be directly reduced to 0.

It should be noted that the electronic device can control the communication device through its own system program. Optionally, the communication device can be controlled by the system program to perform the tasks corresponding to each mode, and the system programs corresponding to different modes can be different. As one way, the electronic device controls the first mode of the communication device by running a first system program. For example, the communication device is controlled by running the first system program to establish a communication connection with other devices based on the first mode. For another example, the communication device is controlled by running the first system program to transmit data based on the established communication connection. In this way, the electronic device controls the second mode of the communication device by running the second system program. For example, the communication device is controlled by running the second system program to scan other devices based on the second mode.

Then in this way, in the case where it is necessary to suspend the task corresponding to the second mode, the task corresponding to the second mode can be suspended by stopping the operation of the system program used to control the second mode. For example, the system program controlling the second mode is switched to a dormant state, so that the system program controlling the second mode no longer issues control instructions to the communication device, and the communication device will not execute the task corresponding to the second mode, so as to reduce the occupation of the target resources by the second mode. In the case where it is necessary to end the task corresponding to the second mode, the operation of the system program controlling the second mode can be directly ended. Among them, ending the operation of the system program can be understood as killing the process of the system program controlling the second mode and reclaiming the memory allocated to the system program controlling the second mode. Then correspondingly, when the system program controlling the second mode is switched to a dormant state, the process of the system program controlling the second mode will not be killed, and the memory allocated to the system program controlling the second mode will not be reclaimed.

Furthermore, in addition to the aforementioned method that the system programs corresponding to different modes can be different, as another method, different threads in the same system program can be configured to control different modes of the communication device respectively. In this method, the threads in the system program correspond to the modes of the communication device one by one, so that each mode has a corresponding thread to control it. Then in this method,

In the case where it is necessary to suspend the task corresponding to the second mode, the task corresponding to the second mode can be suspended by stopping the operation of the thread used to control the second mode. For example, the thread controlling the second mode is switched to a blocked state, so that the system program controlling the second mode no longer issues control instructions to the communication device, and the communication device will not execute the task corresponding to the second mode, so as to reduce the occupation of the target resources by the second mode. In the case where it is necessary to end the task corresponding to the second mode, the operation of the thread controlling the second mode can be directly ended. Among them, ending the operation of the thread can be understood as killing the thread controlling the second mode and reclaiming the memory allocated to the thread controlling the second mode. Then correspondingly, when the thread controlling the second mode is switched to a blocked state, the thread controlling the second mode will not be killed, and the memory allocated to the thread controlling the second mode will not be reclaimed.

This embodiment provides a device control method, when the communication device of the electronic device is in a multi-mode state, if the communication device initiates a communication connection through a first mode, then a second mode is obtained, wherein the second mode is a mode other than the first mode, thereby reducing the occupation degree of the resources corresponding to the communication device by the second mode. Therefore, in the above manner, when the electronic device triggers the communication device to establish a connection in the first mode, the occupation degree of the resources corresponding to the communication device by the first mode can be improved by reducing the occupation degree of the resources corresponding to the communication device by the second mode, thereby enabling the communication device to more effectively perform the tasks corresponding to the first mode.

Please refer to FIG4 , an embodiment of the present application provides a device control method, which is applied to an electronic device, and the method includes:

S210: If the communication device of the electronic device is in a multi-mode state and the communication device initiates a communication connection through a first mode, a second mode is acquired, where the second mode is a mode other than the first mode.

S220: Reduce the occupation degree of the second mode on the target resource, where the target resource is a resource corresponding to the communication device.

In the case where the communication device has multiple resources, the target resources may include multiple contents. For example, if the corresponding resources during communication include chip resources and antenna resources, the target resources may include only chip resources or only antenna resources, or both.

Correspondingly, in an embodiment of the present application, the content included in the target resource can be determined according to the current actual situation. Optionally, the content of the target resource can still be determined by the timeliness of the transmission task. For example, if the communication connection established by the first mode is used to perform a transmission task with a higher timeliness, then the target resource may include all categories of resources corresponding to the communication device. If the communication connection established by the first mode is used to perform a transmission task with a higher timeliness, then the target resource may include all categories of resources corresponding to the communication device. If the communication connection established by the first mode is used to perform a transmission task with a lower timeliness, then the target resource may include any category of resources corresponding to the communication device. Among them, in an embodiment of the present application, the timeliness of the transmission task can be determined by the timeliness parameter corresponding to the transmission task. If the value of the corresponding timeliness parameter is greater than the specified threshold, the transmission task corresponding to the timeliness parameter is determined to be a transmission task with a higher timeliness, and if the value of the corresponding timeliness parameter is not greater than the specified threshold, the transmission task corresponding to the timeliness parameter is determined to be a transmission task with a lower timeliness.

S230: If the communication device successfully establishes the communication connection through the first mode, then increase the occupation degree of the target resource by the second mode.

It should be noted that the second mode of the communication device may be activated because the electronic device needs to complete the task specified by the second mode. After the communication device successfully establishes the communication connection through the first mode, in order to enable the second mode of the communication device to perform the task normally, the occupancy rate of the target resources by the second mode can be increased.

Among them, based on the above introduction, it can be known that in the embodiment of the present application, there can be multiple ways to reduce the occupation degree of the target resource by the second mode. Correspondingly, there can also be multiple ways to increase the occupation degree of the target resource by the second mode, and the way to increase the occupation degree of the target resource by the second mode corresponds to the way to reduce the occupation degree of the target resource by the second mode.

Optionally, if the occupancy rate of the target resource by the second mode is reduced by stopping the operation of the system program for controlling the second mode, in the process of increasing the occupancy rate of the target resource by the second mode, the occupancy rate of the target resource by the second mode may be increased by triggering the system program for controlling the second mode to continue running or restart running.

Optionally, if the occupation degree of the target resource by the second mode is reduced by changing the state of the thread that controls the second mode, in the process of increasing the occupation degree of the target resource by the second mode, the occupation degree of the target resource by the second mode can also be increased by changing the state of the thread that controls the second mode. For example, if the occupation degree of the target resource by the second mode is reduced by switching the thread of the second mode to a blocked state, the occupation degree of the target resource by the second mode can be increased by switching the thread of the second mode to a running state. If the occupation degree of the target resource by the second mode is reduced by killing the thread of the second mode, the occupation degree of the target resource by the second mode can be increased by starting the thread that controls the second mode.

As a method, a mode characteristic file can be established in the electronic device. The mode characteristic file can record the current state of each mode of the communication device and the method of switching from the previous state to the current state. Therefore, the electronic device can obtain the method of the second mode of the communication device being triggered to reduce the occupation degree of the target resource by querying the mode characteristic file, so that the corresponding method can be adopted to improve the occupation degree of the target resource by the second mode.

For example, the mode feature file may store a first identifier and a second identifier, wherein the first identifier may be used to record the current state of each mode of the communication device, and the second identifier may be used to record the way in which each mode switches from the previous state to the current state.

This embodiment provides a device control method, so that in the above manner, when the electronic device triggers the communication device to establish a connection in the first mode, the occupation degree of the resources corresponding to the communication device by the second mode can be reduced, so that the occupation degree of the resources corresponding to the communication device by the first mode is improved, so that the communication device can more effectively perform the tasks corresponding to the first mode. In addition, in this embodiment, after the communication connection is successfully established through the first mode, the occupation degree of the target resources by the second mode will also be improved, so that while improving the electronic device to more effectively perform the tasks corresponding to the first mode, the impact on other modes can be reduced.

Please refer to FIG5 , an embodiment of the present application provides a device control method, which is applied to an electronic device, and the method includes:

S310: If the communication device of the electronic device is in a multi-mode state and the communication device initiates a communication connection through a first mode, a second mode is acquired, where the second mode is a mode other than the first mode.

S320: Record the working state corresponding to the second mode as a reference working state.

It should be noted that the second mode of the communication device will operate based on established parameters when it is started, and the established operating parameters determine the operating state of the second mode during operation. The operating state may include a signal state and/or a time state, wherein the signal state may represent the strength of the wireless signal transmitted based on the second mode, and the time state may represent the time period of the wireless signal transmitted based on the second mode.

For example, taking a Bluetooth communication device as an example, the second mode may be a BLE mode. Then the signal state in the signal state in the working state of the BLE mode can characterize the strength of the wireless signal transmitted based on the BLE mode. The time state in the working state of the BLE mode can characterize the period of scanning based on the BLE mode. For example, the time state can be defined by two parameters, the window parameter and the interval parameter in the Bluetooth communication protocol. Among them, the interval parameter characterizes the length of the scanning interval of each cycle, and the window parameter characterizes the length of the window in which the BLE mode will scan in the scanning interval of each cycle. It can be understood that the window parameter corresponds to the degree of occupancy of the antenna resources of the communication device. The larger the value of the window parameter, the higher the degree of occupancy of the antenna resources.

S330: Reduce the occupation degree of the second mode on the target resource, where the target resource is a resource corresponding to the communication device.

S340: If the communication device successfully establishes the communication connection through the first mode, the occupation degree of the target resource by the second mode is increased based on the reference working state.

Among them, when the working state corresponding to the second mode is recorded as the reference working state, the electronic device can determine the state in which the second mode is running before reducing the occupation degree of the target resource by the second mode. Then, in the subsequent process of increasing the occupation degree of the target resource by the second mode, the reference working state can be used as a reference to increase the occupation degree of the target resource by the second mode to the state shown in the reference working state. For example, if the reference working state corresponding to the second mode includes a time state, the value of the corresponding interval parameter in the time state is 1200ms, and the value of the corresponding window parameter is 120ms. Then, after reducing the occupation degree of the target resource by the second mode, the value of the window parameter can be changed from 120ms to 0ms, that is, after reducing the occupation degree, it will trigger the task corresponding to the second mode of the communication device to stop. In the subsequent stage of increasing the occupation degree, the value of the window parameter can be changed to 120ms, thereby restoring the task corresponding to the second mode of the communication device.

This embodiment provides a device control method, so that in the above manner, when the electronic device triggers the communication device to establish a connection in the first mode, the occupation degree of the resources corresponding to the communication device by the second mode can be reduced, so that the occupation degree of the resources corresponding to the communication device by the first mode is improved, so that the communication device can more effectively perform the tasks corresponding to the first mode. In addition, in this embodiment, before reducing the occupation degree of the target resources by the second mode, the working state corresponding to the second mode is also recorded as a reference working state, and then after successfully establishing a communication connection through the first mode, the occupation degree of the target resources by the second mode is also increased based on the reference working state, so that while improving the electronic device in more effectively performing the tasks corresponding to the first mode, the impact on other modes can be reduced.

Please refer to FIG6 , an embodiment of the present application provides a device control method, which is applied to an electronic device, and the method includes:

S410: If the communication device of the electronic device is in a multi-mode state and the communication device initiates a communication connection through a first mode, a second mode is acquired, where the second mode is a mode other than the first mode.

S420: Reduce the occupation degree of the second mode on the target resource, where the target resource is a resource corresponding to the communication device.

S430: If the communication device successfully establishes the communication connection through the first mode, a transmission task corresponding to the communication connection is obtained.

S440: Increasing the occupancy degree of the target resource by the second mode based on the transmission task.

It should be noted that after the communication device establishes a connection with other devices based on the first mode, it will continue to perform the transmission task through the established connection so that the data in the electronic device can be transmitted to other devices, or data transmitted from other devices can be received. Among them, the timeliness corresponding to different transmission tasks is different. Timeliness reflects the high or low requirements of the corresponding transmission task for the timeliness of data transmission. For transmission tasks with higher timeliness, the transmitted data needs to be transmitted efficiently, while for transmission tasks with lower timeliness, the transmitted data does not need to be transmitted efficiently.

For example, a transmission task for transmitting a call voice may be a task that has a high requirement on the timeliness of transmission, while a transmission task for transmitting the audio of played music may be a task that has a low requirement on the timeliness of transmission.

As a method, the method of improving the occupation degree of the target resource by the second mode based on the transmission task includes: obtaining a timeliness parameter corresponding to the transmission task; determining a corresponding improvement range according to the timeliness parameter corresponding to the transmission task; and improving the occupation degree of the target resource by the second mode according to the improvement range. The timeliness parameter is a parameter that characterizes the timeliness requirement. The larger the value of the timeliness parameter, the higher the corresponding timeliness requirement.

Optionally, a correspondence between a target application and a time limit parameter can be pre-established in an electronic device. The target application is an application that has a need to transmit data through a communication device. In this way, after obtaining a transmission task, the application to which the transmission task belongs can be obtained as the target application, and then, based on the correspondence between the target application and the time limit parameter, the time limit parameter corresponding to the target application can be obtained as the time limit parameter corresponding to the transmission task. Exemplarily, the correspondence includes the time limit parameter t1 corresponding to application A, the time limit parameter t2 corresponding to application B, the time limit parameter t3 corresponding to application C, and the time limit parameter t4 corresponding to application D. If the application to which the acquired transmission task belongs is application C, then because the time limit parameter corresponding to application C is t3, the time limit parameter corresponding to the transmission task is t3.

In this way, the timeliness parameter that represents a higher requirement for timeliness corresponds to a higher degree of improvement, wherein a higher degree of improvement represents a higher degree of improvement in the occupancy of the target resource.

This embodiment provides a device control method, so that in the above manner, when the electronic device triggers the communication device to establish a connection in the first mode, the occupation degree of the resources corresponding to the communication device by the second mode can be reduced, so that the occupation degree of the resources of the communication device by the first mode can be improved, thereby enabling the communication device to more effectively perform the tasks corresponding to the first mode. Moreover, in this embodiment, in the process of improving the occupation degree of the target resources by the second mode, it can be flexibly improved according to the transmission task of the communication connection established based on the first mode, thereby improving the flexibility of improving the occupation degree of the target resources.

Please refer to FIG. 7 , an embodiment of the present application provides a device control method, which is applied to an electronic device, and the method includes:

S510: If the communication device of the electronic device is in a multi-mode state and the communication device initiates a communication connection through a first mode, a second mode is acquired, where the second mode is a mode other than the first mode.

S520: Reduce the occupation degree of the second mode on the target resource, where the target resource is the resource corresponding to the communication device.

S530: Detect whether the second mode is triggered and started by the user.

S540: If yes, then if the communication device successfully establishes the communication connection through the first mode, then the occupation degree of the target resource by the second mode is increased.

If not, there is no need to increase the occupation level of the target resource by the second mode.

It should be noted that, for some electronic devices, some modes in their communication devices may not be activated by the user's trigger. This means that even if the mode that is not triggered by the user is turned off, it will not interfere with the user's experience. For example, in an electronic device, the electronic device can determine whether the activated mode is triggered by the user by distinguishing the way the trigger mode is activated. For example, for a mode triggered by a control, it can be determined that it is triggered by the user. For a mode activated by responding to an automatic trigger event, it can be determined that it is not triggered by the user. The automatic trigger event can be a timed event, a program startup event, or a power startup event of the electronic device, etc.

This embodiment provides a device control method, so that in the above manner, when the electronic device triggers the communication device to establish a connection in the first mode, the occupation degree of the resources corresponding to the communication device by the second mode can be reduced, so that the occupation degree of the resources of the communication device by the first mode is improved, thereby enabling the communication device to more effectively perform the tasks corresponding to the first mode. In addition, in this embodiment, it can be determined whether to increase the occupation degree of the target resources by the second mode according to whether the second mode is triggered by the user himself, thereby improving the intelligent control of the communication device.
