[0044] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all the other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without any creative work fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0045] In order to make the above objectives, characteristics and advantages of the present application more apparent, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0046] Reference Figure 1 is a flowchart of a control method provided in Embodiment 1 of the present application. The control method provided in the present application can be applied to an electronic device, and the product type of the electronic device is not limited in the present application, such as Figure 1 as shown, the method can include but is not limited to the following steps:

[0047] Step S101, in response to obtaining a trigger instruction to enter a first power mode, controlling a first component of the electronic device to be in a first state, the first component being a component that does not support the electronic device to enter the first power mode.

[0048] In the present embodiment, obtaining a trigger instruction to enter a first power mode can include but is not limited to:

[0049] Clicking the "sleep" mode in the "start" menu to enter the "sleep" mode or clicking the "hibernate" mode to enter the "hibernate" mode, obtaining the trigger instruction of entering the first power mode; or, closing the upper cover part of the electronic device, obtaining the trigger instruction of entering the first power mode; or, touching the power button, obtaining the trigger instruction of entering the first power mode; or, the electronic device entering the idle state, obtaining the trigger instruction of entering the first power mode; or, reaching the target time set for entering the first power mode, obtaining the trigger instruction of entering the first power mode.

[0050] In response to obtaining the trigger instruction of entering the first power mode, the components of the electronic device (such as the components of the electronic device itself and / or the peripheral components connected to the electronic device) need to be prepared for the transition to running in the first power mode, for example, the software components of the electronic device (such as the application programs and the operating system) need to be prepared for the transition to running in the first power mode, stopping or reducing the software activities on the operating system of the electronic device, providing more opportunities for the hardware components to enter the low power mode. On the basis of the preparation of the software components for the transition to running in the first power mode, the hardware components of the electronic device and the software device drivers of the hardware components also need to be prepared for running in the first power mode.

[0051] On the basis of the preparation of the components of the electronic device for the transition to running in the first power mode, the electronic device can enter the first power mode. However, in the case that the first component of the electronic device does not support the first power mode, the first component of the electronic device does not support the electronic device to enter the first power mode, which will cause the electronic device to not meet the conditions for entering the first power mode.

[0052] In order to enable the electronic device to enter the first power mode, specifically, the first component of the electronic device can be controlled to be in the first state. The first state can be understood as one of the states in the power mode supported by the first component, and the first state can include but is not limited to the sleep state, the hibernate state, the off state, the pause state or the background running state. The first component of the electronic device in the first state can eliminate the influence of the first component on the electronic device not meeting the conditions for entering the first power mode.

[0053] The first component of the electronic device can include but is not limited to the software component of the electronic device, or the hardware component connected to the electronic device, or the hardware component of the electronic device itself.

[0054] The hardware component connected to the electronic device can include but is not limited to the connected PCIE (high-speed serial computer expansion bus standard) device; the hardware component of the electronic device itself can include but is not limited to the PCIE device of the electronic device itself.

[0055] In step S102, a second component different from the first component is controlled to enter a second state based at least on the trigger instruction, to support the electronic device to enter the first power mode from the current second power mode.

[0056] The second component different from the first component is controlled to enter the second state based at least on the trigger instruction, which can include but is not limited to:

[0057] The broadcast signal is generated and sent based at least on the trigger instruction, so that the second component different from the first component obtains the broadcast signal and enters the second state based on the broadcast signal.

[0058] The second component can include a software component and a hardware component, and the power consumption of the second component in the second state is less than that in the second power mode, to support the electronic device to enter a power mode with lower power consumption.

[0059] The second state can include but is not limited to a background running state, a hibernation state, a sleep state or a shutdown state. It can be understood that the power consumption of the second component in the background running state is greater than that in the hibernation state; the power consumption of the second component in the hibernation state is greater than that in the sleep state; and the power consumption of the second component in the sleep state is greater than that in the shutdown state.

[0060] It should be noted that the second state entered by the software component different from the first component is different from the second state entered by the hardware component different from the first component, and the first component and the second component are different in at least one of the following: different communication protocols, different component types, different component models, or different component version numbers.

[0061] Specifically, based on the first component of the electronic device being in the first state, the software component different from the first component of the electronic device can enter the second state, stop or reduce software activities on the operating system of the electronic device, and provide more opportunities for the hardware component different from the first component of the electronic device to enter a low-power mode. Based on the software component different from the first component of the electronic device entering the second state, the hardware component and the software device driver of the hardware component of the electronic device also enter the second state, to support the electronic device to enter the first power mode from the current second power mode.

[0062] The power consumption of the electronic device in the second power supply mode is higher than the power consumption of the electronic device in the first power supply mode. For example, the first power supply mode can be an S4 (STD, Suspend to Disk) power supply mode, and the second power supply mode can be an S3 (STR, Suspend to RAM) power supply mode; or the first power supply mode can be an MS (Modern Standby) power supply mode, and the second power supply mode can be an S3 power supply mode or an S4 power supply mode. In the S4 power supply mode, the hard disk of the electronic device can be in a powered-on state, and other components of the electronic device except the hard disk can be in a powered-off state; in the S3 power supply mode, the memory and the hard disk of the electronic device can be in a powered-on state, and other components of the electronic device except the hard disk and the memory can be in a powered-off state; in the MS power supply mode, the display of the electronic device can be in a powered-off state, and other components of the electronic device except the display can be in a powered-on state.

[0063] It can be understood that the time length from the MS power supply mode to the normal working state of the electronic device is shorter than the time length from the S3 power supply mode to the normal working state of the electronic device, and the time length from the S3 power supply mode to the normal working state of the electronic device is shorter than the time length from the S4 power supply mode to the normal working state of the electronic device.

[0064] The second state can be the same as the first state. Of course, the second state can also be different from the first state. It should be noted that whether the second state is the same as the first state or the second state is different from the first state, the electronic device is supported to enter the first power supply mode from the current second power supply mode.

[0065] In this embodiment, in response to obtaining a trigger instruction for entering the first power supply mode, the first component of the electronic device is controlled to be in the first state, and the influence of the first component on the condition that the electronic device does not meet the entering of the first power supply mode is eliminated. On this basis, the second component different from the first component is controlled to enter the second state based on at least the trigger instruction, so that the electronic device can enter the first power supply mode with lower power consumption from the current second power supply mode without limiting the component configuration.

[0066] As another optional embodiment of the present application, referring to Figure 2 A flowchart of a control method provided in Embodiment 2 of the present application, the present embodiment mainly describes a detailed scheme of the control method described in Embodiment 1, as shown in the figure, the method can include but is not limited to the following steps: Figure 2

[0067] Step S201, in response to obtaining a trigger instruction for entering the first power supply mode, sending first control information to the first component to control the first component to remain in the first state, the first component being a component that does not support the electronic device to enter the first power supply mode.​

[0068] In the embodiment, in response to obtaining the trigger instruction of entering the first power mode, the current state of the first component can be determined, and if the first component is in the first state, the first control information can be sent to the first component to control the first component to remain in the first state.

[0069] Corresponding to the embodiment that the first component is a software component, sending the first control information to the first component to control the first component to remain in the first state can include:

[0070] S2011, obtaining type information and state information of the first component, and sending a control instruction to the first component through a target application program based on the type information and the state information to control the first component to remain in the first state.

[0071] In the embodiment, based on obtaining the type information and the state information of the first component, the current state of the first component can be determined based on the state information, and if the current state of the first component is the first state, the target application program can be determined based on the type information, and a control instruction can be sent to the first component through the target application program to control the first component to remain in the first state.

[0072] Corresponding to the embodiment that the first component is a hardware component, sending the first control information to the first component to control the first component to remain in the first state can include:

[0073] S2012, obtaining type information and state information of the first component, and sending an electrical signal to the first component through a first control chip based on the type information and the state information to control the first component to remain in the first state.

[0074] In the embodiment, based on obtaining the type information and the state information of the first component, the current state of the first component can be determined based on the state information, and if the current state of the first component is the first state, the first control chip can be determined based on the type information, and an electrical signal can be sent to the first component through the first control chip to control the first component to remain in the first state.

[0075] The first control chip can include but is not limited to an EC (Embeded Controller) or an SIO (Super Input Output Chip).

[0076] Corresponding to the embodiment that the first control chip is an EC, as shown in Figure 3 sending an electrical signal to the first component through the first control chip can include sending an electrical signal to the EC through a PCH (South Bridge Chip) to make the EC send the electrical signal to the first component.

[0077] The EC sends an electrical signal to the first component, which can include but is not limited to: the EC sends an electrical signal containing a general-purpose programmable signal (GPIO) state to the first component based on the electrical signal, and the GPIO state is used to instruct the first component to enter the first state.

[0078] This step is a specific implementation of step S101 in Example 1.

[0079] Step S202: Based at least on the trigger instruction, a second component different from the first component is controlled to enter a second state to support the electronic device to enter the first power mode from the current second power mode.

[0080] The detailed process of step S202 can refer to the related description of step S102 in Example 1, which will not be repeated here.

[0081] In this embodiment, in response to obtaining the trigger instruction to enter the first power mode, the current state of the first component can be determined. If the first component is in the first state, the first control information can be sent to the first component to control the first component to remain in the first state, so as to eliminate the influence of the first component on the electronic device not meeting the condition for entering the first power mode. On this basis, at least based on the trigger instruction, the second component different from the first component is controlled to enter the second state, so that the electronic device can enter the first power mode with lower power consumption from the current second power mode without limiting the component configuration.

[0082] As another optional embodiment of the present application, referring to Figure 4 A flowchart of a control method provided in Example 3 of the present application is shown in the figure. This embodiment mainly describes a detailed scheme of the control method described in Example 1 above. As shown in the figure, the method can include but is not limited to the following steps: Figure 4

[0083] Step S301: In response to obtaining a trigger instruction to enter the first power mode, the first component is controlled to switch from a third state to a first state, wherein the first component is a component that does not support the electronic device to enter the first power mode, and the power consumption of the first component in the third state is greater than that in the first state.

[0084] In this embodiment, the third state can be but is not limited to a normal working state, and the first state can be but is not limited to a background running state; or, the third state can be but is not limited to a background running state, and the first state can be but is not limited to a sleep state.

[0085] In this embodiment, in response to obtaining the trigger instruction to enter the first power mode, the current state of the first component can be determined. If the first component is in the non-first state and the non-first state is the third state, the first component can be controlled to switch from the third state to the first state.​

[0086] This step is a specific implementation of step S101 in Example 1.

[0087] Step S302, at least based on the trigger instruction, controls a second component different from the first component to enter a second state to support the electronic device to enter the first power mode from the current second power mode.

[0088] The detailed process of step S302 can refer to the related description of step S102 in Example 1, which will not be repeated here.

[0089] In this embodiment, in response to obtaining the trigger instruction to enter the first power mode, the current state of the first component can be determined. If the first component is in a non-first state and the non-first state is a third state, the first component can be controlled to switch from the third state to the first state to eliminate the influence of the first component on the electronic device not meeting the condition to enter the first power mode. On this basis, at least based on the trigger instruction, the second component different from the first component is controlled to enter the second state, so that the electronic device can enter the first power mode with lower power consumption from the current second power mode without limiting the component configuration.

[0090] As another optional embodiment of the present application, referring to Figure 5 , the flowchart of a control method provided in Example 4 of the present application, this embodiment mainly describes the detailed scheme of the control method described in Example 1 above, as shown in Figure 5 , the method can include but is not limited to the following steps:

[0091] Step S401, in response to obtaining a trigger instruction to enter a first power mode, a first component of an electronic device is controlled to be in a first state, and the first component is a component that does not support the electronic device to enter the first power mode.

[0092] The detailed process of this step can refer to the related description in Example 1 or Example 2 or Example 3, which will not be repeated here.

[0093] Step S402, in response to the trigger instruction, second control information is sent to a second component different from the first component to control the second component in a fourth state to enter a second state, wherein the power consumption of the second component in the second state is less than that in the fourth state, and the second component is a component in an active state in the second power mode to support the electronic device to enter the first power mode from the current second power mode.

[0094] In this embodiment, in response to the trigger instruction, the second control information is sent to the second component, which can include:

[0095] S4021, in response to the trigger instruction, determining an active state of the software component of the electronic device, and sending second control information to the second component based on the active state of the software component.

[0096] Specifically, in response to the active state of the software component being a state in which the software component does not require a network connection, the second control information is sent to the network device to control the network device in the active state to enter a low-power active state, a protocol offloading state, a network wake-up state, or a power-off state. The active state is one of the implementation manners of the fourth state, and the low-power active state, the protocol offloading state, or the network wake-up state is one of the implementation manners of the second state. The network device is one of the implementation manners of the second component. The low-power active state can include but is not limited to a background running state.

[0097] The network device entering the low-power state, the protocol offloading state, or the network wake-up state can support providing network services in the first power mode, and when the software component needs to access the network, the network device can be restored to a normal working state in time to provide network connection services.

[0098] The network device entering the power-off state makes the electronic device not provide network services in the first power mode, and supports further reducing power consumption in the first power mode.

[0099] In the embodiment, when the second component is in the foreground running state in the second power mode for a duration greater than a set threshold, it can be determined that the second component is a component in the active state in the second power mode, but is not limited thereto. When the working state of the second component in the second power mode frequently switches, it can be determined that the second component is a component in the active state in the second power mode, but is not limited thereto.

[0100] In the embodiment, in response to the trigger instruction, the second control information is sent to the second component different from the first component to control the second component in the fourth state to enter the second state, which can include but is not limited to:

[0101] S4022, in response to the trigger instruction, obtaining type information of the second component.

[0103] S4023, based on the type information, sending a control instruction or an electrical signal to the second component through a target application program or a second control chip to control the second component in the fourth state to enter the second state.

[0104] In a case that the second component is determined as a software component based on the type information, the control signaling can be sent to the second component by the target application.

[0105] In a case that the second component is determined as a hardware component based on the type information, the electrical signal can be sent to the second component by the second control chip.

[0106] The second control chip can be the same as the first control chip, for example, the second control chip can be an EC. The second control chip can also be different from the first control chip, for example, the second control chip can be a PCH.

[0107] Corresponding to the embodiment that the second control chip is a PCH, as shown in Figure 6 Based on the type information, sending the electrical signal to the second component by the second control chip can include: based on the type information, sending the electrical signal to the EC by the PCH, so that the EC sends the electrical signal to the second component.

[0108] Corresponding to the embodiment that the second control chip is an EC, based on the type information, sending the electrical signal to the second component by the second control chip can include: based on the type information, sending the electrical signal to the second component by the EC.

[0109] This step is a specific implementation of the foregoing various embodiments, which controls the second component different from the first component to enter the second state based on at least the trigger instruction.

[0110] The power consumption of the electronic device in the second power supply mode is higher than that in the first power supply mode, and the power consumption of the second component in the second power supply mode is greater than that in the second state.

[0111] In this embodiment, in response to obtaining the trigger instruction to enter the first power supply mode, the first component of the electronic device is controlled to be in the first state, and the influence of the first component on the electronic device not satisfying the condition for entering the first power supply mode is eliminated. On this basis, in response to the trigger instruction, second control information is sent to the second component different from the first component to control the second component in the fourth state to enter the second state, so that the second component is switched from the fourth state to the second state, and it is ensured that the electronic device can enter the first power supply mode with lower power consumption from the current second power supply mode without limiting the component configuration.

[0114] The basic input / output system of the electronic device changing the configuration information of the first component can include: the basic input / output system of the electronic device adding the configuration information of the first component in ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface), and the configuration information of the first component at least including state information of the first component. The state information of the first component indicates that the electronic device entering the first power mode requires the first component to be in the first state.

[0115] In this embodiment, the timing of the basic input / output system of the electronic device changing the configuration information of the first component is not limited to responding to the trigger instruction for entering the first power mode. The timing of the basic input / output system of the electronic device changing the configuration information of the first component can also be responding to a start instruction of the basic input / output system of the electronic device.

[0116] In step S502, in response to the trigger instruction, the first component of the electronic device is controlled to be in the first state.

[0118] In step S503, at least based on the trigger instruction, a second component different from the first component is controlled to enter a second state to support the electronic device to enter the first power mode from a current second power mode.

[0119] The power consumption of the electronic device in the second power mode is higher than that in the first power mode, and the power consumption of the second component in the second power mode is greater than that in the second state.

[0120] The detailed processes of steps S502-S503 can refer to the related descriptions of steps S101-S102 in Embodiment 1, which will not be repeated here.

Based on this, in response to obtaining the trigger instruction for entering the first power mode, the first component of the electronic device is controlled to be in the first state, and the influence of the first component on the electronic device not satisfying the condition for entering the first power mode is eliminated.
