Signal lamp flashing controlling method

Abstract

The invention discloses a signal lamp flash control method which comprises: setting the signal light flash period as flash stage time length of the blanking stage time length and lighting blank time slot; ascertaining the bit sequence's flash mask of each light-blank time slot signal light condition of the corresponding signal light flash stage time length; controlling the signal light to flash by the bit sequence of the flash mask in the flash stage time length; controlling the signal light to blank in the blanking stage time length.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for controlling the flickering of a signal light. Background technique [0002] Signal lights are widely used in various terminal equipment as a means of prompting the process of signal quality, data flow, and power on and off. For example, the signal indicator lights on various mobile phones remind users that they are in a normal working state by periodically flashing; while various network devices such as Ethernet cards often flash their signal indicators rapidly while data is being transmitted during work. [0003] In particular, for wireless terminal equipment, since the equipment can have multiple states such as no service, searching for signals, searching for the network, voice calls, or data transmission, it is often necessary to design several flashing types to remind the user, such as periodic Single flashing, periodic double flashing, periodic slow flashing (that is, the process of slowly alternating on and ...

Problems solved by technology

[0011] 3) Secondly, the scheme of using cycle counting to realize the blinking control of signal lights can only change the time and duty cycle of the entire blinking cycle through the number of counts, which is not flexible enough, and because the software execution environment of the terminal equipment where most signal lights are located is a multi-tasking system , the cycle counting needs to occupy the execution time of the microprocessor, which is not only inefficient, but also may affect the execution of other tasks;

[0012] 3) If it is applied to wireless terminal equipment, the prompt status supported by the above-mentioned existing technology is limited, and it is impossible to comprehensively remind the user of the current working status of the wireless terminal equipment, such as searching the network, no signal, test mode, incoming call ringing, etc.
