Terminal

Abstract

The invention provides a terminal in an embodiment. The terminal comprises an acquisition unit for obtaining a lock corresponding to a target application awakening an application processor when the terminal detects that the application processor is awakened, a statistical unit for collecting the duration when the application processor is awakened, a determination unit for determining whether the duration when the application processor is awakened reaches a preset time threshold, and a control unit for releasing the lock corresponding to the target application when the determination result of the determination unit is yes and then enabling the application processor to enter a sleep state. The terminal is capable of reducing the power consumption.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of electronic technology, in particular to a terminal. Background technique [0002] With the continuous popularization of smart terminals, applications on the smart terminals continue to increase. In order to complete the functions of the application itself, when the smart terminal is in a sleep state, some applications in the smart terminal wake up an application processor (Application Processor, AP for short) by setting an RTC (Real-Time Clock). After the application processor is woken up, it takes some time before it can go to sleep again. Wherein, the application processor is a very large scale integrated circuit that expands audio and video functions and dedicated interfaces on the basis of a low-power CPU (Center Process Unit, central processing unit). [0003] At present, some terminals use alignment wake-up technology to reduce the number of times various applications wake up the application process...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] At present, some terminals use alignment wake-up technology to reduce the number of times various applications wake up the application processor, thereby reducing standby power consumption.

[0004] However, it has been found in practice that although the simultaneous wake-up technology can reduce the number of applications waking up the application processor, after the application processor is awakened, there may be some problems between the application due to specific reasons (such as too much content to be updated or poor network status, etc.) The server interaction time is too long, resulting in excessive standby power consumption of smart terminals
