[0050] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0051] The embodiments of the present application provide an information processing method and a terminal device, which are used to ensure that the normal operation of the entire device is not affected when the peripheral hardware of the user terminal is abnormal, thereby improving the user experience.

[0052] In other words, the embodiment of the present application provides an implementation solution for real-time detection of peripheral status changes and dynamic tailoring of related functions in software, ensuring that the normal operation of the terminal will not be affected even if the peripheral hardware does not exist, is damaged or fails, thereby ensuring the user experience and reducing the probability of users returning the device.

[0053] Among them, the method and the device are based on the same application concept. Since the principles of solving problems by the method and the device are similar, the implementation of the device and the method can refer to each other, and the repeated parts will not be repeated.

Furthermore, terms such as "comprises" and "comprising" should be understood as not limiting the described embodiments to consisting only of those features already mentioned; such examples and embodiments may also include features, structures, units, modules, etc. that are not specifically mentioned.

[0056] The terminal device involved in the embodiments of the present application may be a device that provides voice and / or data connectivity to a user, a handheld device with wireless connection function, or other processing device connected to a wireless modem. In different systems, the name of the terminal device may also be different. For example, in a 5G system, the terminal device may be called User Equipment (UE). A wireless terminal device can communicate with one or more core networks via a RAN. The wireless terminal device may be a mobile terminal device, such as a mobile phone (or "cellular" phone) and a computer with a mobile terminal device.

[0057] The following describes in detail the various embodiments of the present application in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the order in which the embodiments of the present application are presented only represents the order of the embodiments, and does not represent the advantages or disadvantages of the technical solutions provided by the embodiments.

[0058] See also Figure 1 , an information processing method provided in an embodiment of the present application, the overall steps include:

[0059] S101, in the initial stage of terminal system startup, detecting whether the status of at least one peripheral hardware of the terminal is abnormal;

[0060] The initial stage of the terminal system startup may be, for example, the stage of powering on a mobile phone.

[0061] The at least one peripheral hardware of the terminal may include, for example, NFC, Beidou GPS and other peripheral hardware.

[0062] S102. If it is detected that the state of at least one peripheral hardware of the terminal is in an abnormal state during the initial stage of starting the terminal system, characteristic information corresponding to the peripheral hardware in the abnormal state is deleted, so that the system software and / or third-party application software of the terminal determines that the terminal does not support the function of the peripheral hardware in the abnormal state, and does not start the software process corresponding to the peripheral hardware in the abnormal state.

[0063] Therefore, this method can ensure that the normal operation of the entire device is not affected when the peripheral hardware of the user terminal is abnormal, thereby improving the user experience.

[0064] The state of the peripheral hardware is in an abnormal state, which means that the peripheral hardware may not exist, or may be damaged or invalid.

[0065] It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, the status of all peripheral hardware of the terminal can be detected, or only the status of specified peripheral hardware of the terminal can be detected, and the specific embodiment of the present application is not limited.

[0066] Among them, regarding the characteristic information corresponding to the peripheral hardware, the system software and / or third-party application software of the terminal can obtain whether the terminal supports the function of the peripheral hardware by querying the characteristic information corresponding to a certain peripheral hardware. That is, if the characteristic information corresponding to the peripheral hardware can be queried, the system software and / or third-party application software of the terminal will consider that the terminal supports the function of the peripheral hardware. If the characteristic information corresponding to the peripheral hardware cannot be queried, the system software and / or third-party application software of the terminal will consider that the terminal does not support the function of the peripheral hardware. Then, if the system software and / or third-party application software of the terminal considers that the terminal does not support the function of the peripheral hardware, the software process corresponding to the peripheral hardware will not be started, thereby ensuring that the normal operation of the entire machine will not be affected when the peripheral hardware of the user terminal is abnormal, thereby improving the user experience.

[0067] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 , in the initial stage of starting the terminal system, detecting whether the status of at least one peripheral hardware of the terminal is abnormal includes:

[0068] S201, entering the initial stage of terminal system startup;

[0069] S202, in the initial stage of the terminal system startup, detecting whether a driver node corresponding to at least one peripheral hardware of the terminal exists, if not, executing step S203; if yes, executing step S204;

[0070] S203: Determine that there is no abnormal state of the peripheral hardware of the driver node;

[0071] S204: Determine whether the status of the peripheral hardware of the driver node is normal.

[0072] The driver node corresponding to the peripheral hardware is the driver node required for upper-layer application software.

[0073] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 , for any of the peripheral hardware, detecting whether a driver node corresponding to the peripheral hardware exists, including:

[0074] S301, the terminal kernel loads the driver of the peripheral hardware;

[0075] S302: Create a driver node corresponding to the peripheral hardware through the driver of the peripheral hardware;

[0076] S303: Detecting whether the peripheral hardware exists or is abnormal through the driver of the peripheral hardware; wherein the abnormality may be, for example, hardware damage;

[0077] S304: If the peripheral hardware does not exist or is abnormal, delete the driver node corresponding to the peripheral hardware through the driver of the peripheral hardware;

[0078] S305: If the driver node corresponding to the peripheral hardware is deleted, determine that there is no driver node corresponding to the peripheral hardware.

[0079] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 , the method further comprises:

[0080] S401, terminal system starts;

[0081] S402, after the terminal system is started, entering the initialization phase of the package management service of the system service process;

[0082] S403. Acquire characteristic information corresponding to at least one peripheral hardware of the terminal in the system configuration of the package management service initialization phase of the system service process;

[0083] S404: Cache the characteristic information.

[0084] Wherein, the system service process, for example, the system_server process;

[0085] The package management service, such as PMS (Package Manager Service);

[0086] The system configuration, such as SystemConfig;

[0087] The cache is to cache the feature information corresponding to the peripheral hardware in the memory for the terminal system and other services (ie, third-party software) to call and query the peripheral features supported by the terminal system.

[0088] In some embodiments, see Figure 5 The obtaining and caching characteristic information corresponding to at least one peripheral hardware of the terminal includes:

[0089] S501, entering the initialization phase of starting the package management service;

[0090] S502: calling the system-configured read all permissions method during the initialization phase of the package management service startup;

[0091] S503, parsing the file in the preset path for storing characteristic information corresponding to the peripheral hardware;

[0092] S504: Cache the parsing results.

[0093] The read all permissions, for example: readAllPermissions;

[0094] The preset path, for example: / system / etc / permissions / ;

[0095] The file used to store characteristic information corresponding to the peripheral hardware, for example, a feature-related XML file.

[0096] The parsing result is the content parsed and obtained from the file for storing characteristic information corresponding to the peripheral hardware, that is, the features corresponding to the peripheral hardware supported by the terminal system.

[0097] In some embodiments, see Figure 6 The deleting characteristic information corresponding to the peripheral hardware in an abnormal state includes:

[0098] The characteristic information corresponding to the peripheral hardware in abnormal state is deleted from the cache. In other words:

[0099] S601: In the initial stage of terminal system startup, detecting whether the status of at least one peripheral hardware of the terminal is abnormal;

[0100] S602. If it is detected that the state of at least one peripheral hardware of the terminal is in an abnormal state during the initial stage of startup of the terminal system, the characteristic information corresponding to the peripheral hardware in the abnormal state is deleted from the cached characteristic information corresponding to the peripheral hardware, so that the system software and / or third-party application software of the terminal determines that the terminal does not support the function of the peripheral hardware in the abnormal state, and does not start the software process corresponding to the peripheral hardware in the abnormal state.

[0101] Then, in one embodiment, the specific information processing process, for example, see Figure 7 ,include:

[0102] S701, entering the initialization phase of starting the package management service;

[0103] S702, call the read all permissions of the system configuration;

[0104] S703: Parse the file in the preset path for storing characteristic information corresponding to the peripheral hardware;

[0105] S704, cache the parsing results;

[0106] S705: Detect whether the status of at least one peripheral hardware of the terminal is abnormal;

[0107] S706: If it is detected that the state of at least one peripheral hardware of the terminal is in an abnormal state, delete the characteristic information corresponding to the peripheral hardware in the abnormal state from the cached characteristic information corresponding to the peripheral hardware.

[0108] In another embodiment, another specific information processing flow, for example, see Figure 8 ,include:

[0109] S801, entering the initialization phase of starting the package management service;

[0110] S802, call the read all permissions of the system configuration;

[0111] S803: Parse the file in the preset path for storing characteristic information corresponding to the peripheral hardware;

[0112] S804, cache the parsing results;

[0113] S805: Detect whether the status of at least one peripheral hardware of the terminal is abnormal;

[0114] S806: If it is detected that the state of at least one peripheral hardware of the terminal is in an abnormal state, delete the characteristic information corresponding to the peripheral hardware in the abnormal state from the cached characteristic information corresponding to the peripheral hardware.

[0115] and Figure 7 The difference between the illustrated processes is that, in this embodiment, the step of detecting whether the status of at least one peripheral hardware of the terminal is abnormal is not performed after the analysis result is cached, but can be performed in parallel with the above analysis process.

[0116] In some embodiments, see Figure 9 , the method further comprises:

[0117] S901, entering the initial stage of terminal system startup;

[0118] S902: Determine whether the status of the peripheral hardware of the terminal is abnormal;

[0119] S903: If no abnormality in the state of the peripheral hardware of the terminal is detected during the initial stage of the terminal system startup, continue to execute the system startup process;

[0120] S904: If it is detected that the state of the peripheral hardware of the terminal is abnormal during the initial stage of starting the terminal system, the characteristic information corresponding to the peripheral hardware in the abnormal state is deleted from the characteristic information corresponding to the cached peripheral hardware.

[0121] Also, see Figure 10After the system startup process is completed (i.e., when the user is using the mobile phone), the method further includes:

[0122] S001. Periodically detect whether the status of at least one peripheral hardware of the terminal is abnormal (the specific detection method is the same as above);

[0123] S002. If any peripheral hardware in an abnormal state is detected, notify the user to restart the terminal;

[0124] S003. If the user does not respond to the notification to restart the terminal and perform an operation to restart the terminal, the terminal is automatically restarted when a preset condition is met, for example, when the terminal is in an idle state.

[0125] Then, in one embodiment, see Figure 11 , a specific information processing flow includes:

[0126] S111, entering the initial stage of terminal system startup;

[0127] S112, determining whether the state of the terminal's peripheral hardware is abnormal, if so, executing step S114; otherwise, executing step S113;

[0128] S113, executing the subsequent system startup process;

[0129] S114, deleting characteristic information corresponding to the peripheral hardware in an abnormal state from the cache;

[0130] S115: After the system is started, determine whether the detection period has arrived. If so, execute step S116; otherwise, wait for the detection period to arrive.

[0131] S116. Determine whether the status of the terminal's peripheral hardware is abnormal; if so, execute step S117; otherwise, execute step S115 and continue to wait for the next detection cycle to arrive.

[0132] S117: If it is detected that there is peripheral hardware in an abnormal state, notify the user to restart the terminal.

[0133] For example, a notification interface for notifying the user to restart the terminal, such as Figure 12 As shown, it includes a prompt message "Peripheral abnormality, it is recommended to restart the phone", as well as two selection buttons "Restart now" and "Restart later" for users to view and select.

[0134] Then, in one embodiment, another specific information processing flow is as follows: Figure 13 Shown, including:

[0135] S131, entering the initial stage of terminal system startup;

[0136] S132, determine whether the status of the terminal's peripheral hardware is abnormal, if so, execute step S139; otherwise, execute step S133;

[0137] S133, executing the subsequent system startup process;

[0138] S134: After the system is started, determine whether the detection period has arrived. If so, execute step S135; otherwise, wait for the detection period to arrive.

[0139] S135. Determine whether the status of the terminal's peripheral hardware is abnormal; if so, execute step S136; otherwise, execute step S134 and continue to wait for the next detection cycle to arrive.

[0140] S136: If it is detected that there is peripheral hardware in an abnormal state, notify the user to restart the terminal.

[0141] S137: Determine whether to restart immediately. If yes, execute step S131; otherwise, execute step S138.

[0142] That is, if the user clicks the "restart now" button instruction, the mobile phone is restarted immediately. Otherwise (that is, the user clicks the "restart later" button), when the preset conditions are met, the terminal is automatically restarted.

[0143] In some embodiments, as Figure 14 As shown, during the process of restarting the terminal, the screen can output a prompt interface to prompt the user that the system is being optimized and other information.

[0144] The following uses the status detection of the NFC peripheral hardware in the mobile phone terminal as an example to illustrate the method provided in the embodiment of the present application.

[0145] When the NFC peripheral of a mobile terminal is damaged or abnormal, a large number of NFC-related exceptions will occur. The system will trigger the printing of the Java call stack and the native call stack and save them to the file system. A large number of call stack outputs will increase CPU usage. A large number of file write operations will cause the system service (system_server) process to run slowly or even become blocked, eventually causing the system to restart, seriously affecting user experience.

[0146] To address the above issues, the embodiments of the present application propose to add a means of detecting the status of the NFC peripheral device in the initial stage of the terminal system startup to determine the normal state or existence state of the NFC peripheral hardware (i.e., whether the NFC chip exists. Sometimes, a position for the NFC chip is reserved on the substrate, but the NFC chip is not attached during the factory patching). If the NFC peripheral hardware is abnormal, the relevant feature information corresponding to the NFC hardware is dynamically deleted in the system configuration (SystemConfig). In this way, the system software or third-party application software will believe that the terminal does not support the NFC function and will not start the subsequent NFC software process, avoiding NFC-related software anomalies, which will eventually manifest as the mobile phone terminal not supporting the NFC function. At the same time, the third-party software will not display the NFC-related interface or call NFC-related functions, avoiding the program being unresponsive or crashing when the user operates the NFC function.

[0147] See also Figure 15 The overall process of the program is as follows:

[0148] S151, terminal system starts;

[0149] S152. During the initialization phase of the Package Manager Service (PMS) in the system_server process, SystemConfig is used to detect whether the status of the terminal's peripheral hardware is abnormal. Specifically, during the initialization phase of the PMS service startup, the readAllPermissions method of SystemConfig is called to parse the feature-related XML files in the / system / etc / permissions / directory. The parsed results (i.e., the feature information of the peripherals supported by the terminal system, i.e., the features corresponding to the software loaded by the terminal) are cached in memory for the terminal system and other services (i.e., third-party software) to call and query the features of the peripherals supported by the terminal system, thereby detecting whether the status of the terminal's peripheral hardware is abnormal.

[0150] Specific detection methods include: judging whether the driver node corresponding to the peripheral hardware exists (if it does not exist, it means that the peripheral status is abnormal; if it exists, it means that the peripheral status is normal), or reading the peripheral status driver node value for judgment;

[0151] Specifically, how to determine whether the peripheral device's status is abnormal is that when the terminal system starts up (for example, when a mobile phone is turned on), the terminal kernel loads the NFC driver. The NFC driver creates a driver node corresponding to the NFC device. If the NFC driver detects that the NFC device is not present or is abnormal (due to hardware damage), it deletes the driver node corresponding to the created NFC device. The basis for determining whether the peripheral device's status is abnormal is the existence of the NFC driver node.

[0152] S153. If an abnormal peripheral status is detected, the functional characteristics (features) corresponding to the loaded peripherals are deleted from the cache (i.e., the parsing result obtained by parsing the XML file above), that is, the peripheral status is detected in the SystemConfig class, and then a decision is made based on the detection result whether to delete the functional features corresponding to the cached peripherals; in this way, the system software and third-party software cannot query the corresponding features in the cache, and therefore it is considered that the terminal does not support peripherals such as NFC, and the corresponding software process will not be started.

[0153] S154: Execute the subsequent startup process.

[0154] In some embodiments, a peripheral status runtime detection solution is added to solve the problem of damage to peripherals such as NFC during the use of mobile terminals. Specifically, see Figure 16 , based on the above steps, add the following steps:

[0155] S161, the system starts normally;

[0156] S162 . In the SystemConfig of the initialization phase of the Package Manager Service (PMS) of the system_server process, it is detected whether the status of the peripheral hardware of the terminal is abnormal.

[0157] S163. If an abnormal state is detected, delete the function corresponding to the loaded peripheral in SystemConfig;

[0158] S164: Execute the subsequent startup process.

[0159] S165. Create and start a peripheral status check thread (Peripheral Status Check Thread) in the PMS service;

[0160] S166. The peripheral status detection thread polls the peripheral status at a fixed interval (5 minutes) to determine whether it is normal. If so, the process returns to step S165. Otherwise, the process proceeds to step S167.

[0161] S167. If an abnormal state is detected, the user may be notified of the abnormal state of the peripheral device, for example, by a dialog box notifying the user that the phone needs to be restarted, and the user may choose to restart immediately or later. If the user does not restart the phone, the device is automatically restarted when the terminal is in an idle state. That is, if the user chooses to restart later, the setting field (silent_reboot_due_to_peripheral_abnormal) in the settings database is set to true. Then, the value of the flag is read in the terminal idle service. If it is true, the phone is restarted.

[0162] The peripheral status detection thread's primary function is to detect abnormal peripheral status in real time. If the status changes from normal to abnormal, it notifies the user that the device is abnormal and requires a restart. This helps resolve issues such as device freezes and application anomalies caused by abnormal peripheral status.
