Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of smart terminal technology, and in particular to a message processing method, apparatus, and first electronic device. Background Technology

[0002] In existing related technologies, wearable devices can be implemented using an architecture of application processor (AP) + micro control unit (MCU). Specifically, the AP is responsible for the application and user interface (UI) display, while the MCU is responsible for background monitoring of sports and health, and does not support application and UI display.

[0003] In the AP+MCU architecture, the AP is mainly responsible for all front-end services and AP back-end services. When a user receives a notification message from the mobile phone, the AP will be woken up in the foreground, and the AP will be responsible for displaying the message notification interface and completing the reply action on the AP side. When there is no AP-side intervention, the AP side is in a dormant state.

[0004] However, Bluetooth-based services between wearable devices and mobile phones, such as syncing watch health data to the phone and / or syncing application notifications from the phone to the wearable device, require the AP to be woken up and processed for each application notification. This is especially true for instant messaging applications, which can cause the AP to be woken up frequently, thus preventing the overall battery life of the wearable device from reaching its optimal level. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This application provides a message processing method, apparatus, and first electronic device. It also provides a computer-readable storage medium to avoid frequent AP wake-ups and improve the battery life of the first electronic device.

[0006] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a message processing method applied to a first electronic device. The first electronic device includes a first processor and a second processor. The first processor is different from the second processor; the first processor is in a sleep state, while the second processor is in a running state. The method may include: the first electronic device receiving a message sent by the second electronic device; controlling the display screen of the first electronic device to display the message through the second processor; then the first electronic device acquiring the user's operation on the message; when the operation type is a first operation type, processing the operation through the second processor; wherein the first operation type includes a shortcut operation.

[0007] In the above message processing method, after the first electronic device receives the message sent by the second electronic device, it controls the display screen to display the message through the MCU, and then obtains the operation of the user of the first electronic device on the message. When the type of the operation is the first operation type, the operation is processed by the MCU. This allows the MCU to process the user's operation, avoids frequent wake-up of the AP, and thus improves the battery life of the first electronic device.

[0008] The first electronic device can be a wearable device, and the second electronic device can be a smart electronic device. The first processor can be an application processor (AP), and the second processor can be an MCU.

[0009] In one possible implementation, controlling the display screen of the first electronic device to display the message via the second processor can be as follows: the second processor controls the display screen to display the message on half screen; if the first electronic device detects that the user has triggered an operation to view the message within a predetermined time after receiving the message, the second processor controls the display screen to display the message on full screen.

[0010] In one possible implementation, the message sent by the second electronic device includes a message obtained from the notification bar of the second electronic device; in this way, after the first electronic device receives the message sent by the second electronic device, it can also determine whether the message supports a reply through the second processor.

[0011] In one possible implementation, determining whether a message supports a reply via the second processor can be done by: determining whether a reply-supporting marker exists in the message; wherein the reply-supporting marker is added to the message obtained from the notification bar by the second electronic device after determining that the message supports a reply; if a reply-supporting marker exists in the message, then the message is determined to support a reply; if a reply-supporting marker does not exist in the message, then the second processor determines whether the message matches a pre-saved reply-supporting message, and if so, the message is determined to support a reply.

[0015] In one possible implementation, the aforementioned support for replying includes the application package name in the second electronic device that sent the message, the user-level identifier within the application, and the process ID of the application running.

[0016] In one possible implementation, before the first electronic device obtains the user's operation on the message, it may also display a prompt message to indicate that the message is to be processed by the second electronic device. Thus, when the operation type is a first operation type, the processing of the operation by the second processor can be as follows: when the operation is a confirmation instruction from the user to the prompt message, the confirmation instruction is sent to the second electronic device through the channel between the second processor and the second electronic device; the processing result of the message sent by the second electronic device is received; and the processing result is displayed on the screen by the second processor.

[0038] The terminology used in the implementation section of this application is for the purpose of explaining specific embodiments of this application only, and is not intended to limit this application.

[0039] In existing technologies, wearable devices can be implemented using an AP+MCU architecture. The communication between the wearable device and the mobile phone is based on Bluetooth. The delivery of each application-related notification message will wake up the AP and process the business. Especially for instant messaging applications, this will cause the AP to be woken up frequently, which will also cause the overall battery life of the wearable device to not reach the optimal level.

[0040] Based on the above problems, this application provides a message processing method that can determine the processing channel of a service according to the power consumption processing strategy of the service and the type of the reply content, thereby dynamically running the service on the MCU side or the AP side, avoiding frequent AP wake-ups, and thus improving the battery life of wearable devices.

[0041] The message processing method provided in this application embodiment can be applied to a first electronic device, wherein the first electronic device can be a wearable device, an in-vehicle device, an augmented reality (AR) / virtual reality (VR) device, an ultra-mobile personal computer (UMPC), a netbook, or a personal digital assistant (PDA), etc.; this application embodiment does not impose any restrictions on the specific type of the first electronic device.

[0042] For example, Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a first electronic device provided in one embodiment of this application, as shown below. Figure 1 As shown, the first electronic device 100 may include: a display unit 110, an input unit 120, a radio communication unit 130, a Bluetooth unit 140, a sensing unit 150, a storage unit 160, a first processor 170, a second processor 180, and a global positioning system (GPS) unit 190.

[0043] The first processor 170 can be responsible for executing various software programs (e.g., application programs and operating systems) to provide computational and processing operations for the first electronic device 100. The first processor 170 can be a central processing unit (CPU) or an application processor (AP).

[0044] The second processor 180 is primarily responsible for detecting data from the sensing unit 150. The second processor 180 includes any of the following: a low-power processor, a low-power microprocessor (MPU), or an MCU. The second processor 180 runs appropriate software, or a combination of hardware and software components.

[0045] Normally, the first processor 170 is in sleep mode, while the second processor 180 is in running mode. Specifically, after the first electronic device 100 receives a message sent by the second electronic device, the second processor 180 displays the message. If the message supports a reply, the first electronic device 100 can quickly reply to the message through the second processor 180. If the user needs to make a custom reply, the second processor 180 wakes up the first processor 170, which then processes the message.

[0046] Display unit 110 is configured to display graphics, images, or data to a user. Display unit 110 is configured to provide various screens associated with the operation of the first electronic device 100. Display unit 110 provides a main screen, a message composing screen, a telephone screen, a game screen, a music playback screen, and a video playback screen. Display unit 110 may be implemented using a flat panel display panel (such as a liquid crystal display (LCD), an organic light-emitting diode (OLED), and an active-matrix OLED (AMOLED)).

[0047] Display unit 110 is connected to first processor 170 and second processor 180. First processor 170 and display unit 110 can be configured to communicate with each other using interfaces such as (but not limited to) RGB interface, MDDI (Mobile Display Digital Interface), and MIPI (Mobile Industry Processor Interface). Second processor 180 and display unit 110 can be configured to communicate with each other using interfaces such as (but not limited to) SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) or I2C (Internal Integrated Circuit).

[0048] When the display unit 110 is implemented as a touchscreen, it can function as an input device. In the case of the display unit 110 as a touchscreen, it includes a touch panel for detecting touch gestures. The touch panel is configured to convert pressure applied to a specific location of the display unit 110 or capacitance changes in a specific area of ​​the display unit 110 into an electrical input signal. The touch panel can be implemented as either an add-on or an on-cell (or in-cell) type.

[0049] The touch panel can be implemented as one of the following: a resistive touch panel, a capacitive touch panel, an electromagnetic induction touch panel, and a pressure-sensitive touch panel. The touch panel is configured to detect the pressure of a touch as well as the location and area of ​​the touch. If a touch gesture is made on the touch panel, a corresponding input signal is generated to the first processor 170. The first processor 170 then examines the user's touch input information to execute the corresponding function.

[0050] Input unit 120 includes modules associated with input to the first electronic device 100.

[0051] The radio communication unit 130 is responsible for the communication functions of the electronic device. The radio communication unit 130 establishes a communication channel with a supported mobile communication network to enable voice calls, video conferencing, and data communication. The radio communication unit 130 includes a radio frequency (RF) transmitter and an RF receiver, wherein the RF transmitter is used to upconvert and amplify the transmitted signal, and the RF receiver is used to perform low-noise amplification and downconversion of the received signal. The radio communication unit 130 includes a cellular communication module (e.g., a third-generation (3G) cellular communication module and / or a 4G cellular communication module) and a digital broadcasting module.

[0052] Global Positioning System (GPS) unit 190. GPS unit 190 receives satellite GPS signals from GPS satellites and transmits the GPS signals to first processor 170. First processor 170 is configured to calculate the current location of the electronic device based on the satellite GPS signals.

[0053] The sensing unit 150 is connected to the second processor 180, detects the position information of the first electronic device 100 or changes in the surrounding environment, and sends the sensed information to the second processor 180. Specifically, the sensing unit 150 includes at least one of the following: a gyroscope sensor for detecting rotation, rotational movement, angular displacement, tilt, or any other nonlinear motion; a triaxial accelerometer for sensing acceleration in one or more directions; a barometer for measuring barometric altitude; an ambient light sensor for sensing ambient light; an infrared (IR) sensor for sensing gestures; and a proximity sensor. The sensing unit 150 operates under the control of the second processor 180.

[0054] The first electronic device 100 can receive motion sensor data generated by a motion sensor (e.g., a gyroscope or accelerometer) in the sensing unit 150, thereby generating a specific motion event (e.g., a walking event or a swaying event) based on the motion sensor data. The first electronic device 100 can process the generated motion sensor data using a motion sensing application. For example, a processor running a motion sensing application can analyze the motion sensor data to identify the specific type of motion event.

[0055] Optionally, the sensing unit 150 may be connected to the first processor 170 and the second processor 180 respectively.

[0056] The first processor 170 and the second processor 180 may be configured to communicate with each other using interfaces such as (but not limited to) the following: one or more Universal Serial Bus (USB) interfaces, Micro USB interfaces, Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter (UART) interfaces, Universal Input / Output (GPIO) interfaces, etc.

[0057] The first electronic device 100 may also include another processor, and may be implemented as a dual-core or multi-core chip with the first processor 170 and the second processor 180 located on a single chip, that is, the first processor 170 and the second processor 180 are disposed in the same integrated circuit chip, or they may be disposed in different integrated circuit chips.

[0058] Storage unit 160 is configured to store various data executed and processed in the first electronic device 100, as well as the electronic device's operating system (OS) and various applications. Storage unit 160 is implemented using at least one of, but not limited to, RAM, ROM, flash memory, volatile memory, EPROM, and EEPROM. Storage unit 160 includes a data area and a program area. The data area of ​​storage unit 160 stores data generated by the first electronic device 100 and data downloaded from external sources.

[0059] The program area of ​​storage unit 160 stores the operating system (OS) for booting the electronic device under the control of the first processor 170, as well as applications required for navigation, video and audio playback, and image display functions. The program area is also configured to store applications required for broadcast playback, audio recording, calculator, calendar, and other similar functions. Although storage unit 160 is shown as separate from and located outside the first processor 170 for illustrative purposes, in various embodiments, a portion or all of storage unit 160 may be integrated with the first processor 170 on the same integrated circuit.

[0060] The storage area of ​​storage cell 160 also includes an additional storage area controlled by the second processor 180. This additional storage area controlled by the second processor 180 is accessible even when the first processor 170 is in power-saving mode. The additional storage area controlled by the second processor 180 may be integrated onto the same integrated circuit as the second processor 180, but is not limited to this.

[0061] Bluetooth unit 140 is responsible for short-range communication with another Bluetooth communication device (e.g., a tablet or smartphone). Bluetooth unit 140 can be any hardware and / or software element configured to transmit data (e.g., send and / or receive) using one or more wired and / or wireless protocols. Bluetooth unit 140 primarily utilizes the Bluetooth protocol to transmit data.

[0062] Bluetooth unit 140 is connected to first processor 170 and second processor 180.

[0063] It should be noted that in the following description of the embodiments of this application, the first electronic device 100 is described as a wearable device 100. Furthermore, the message sending method provided in the embodiments of this application also involves a second electronic device, which can be a smartphone, tablet computer, wearable device, in-vehicle device, AR / VR device, laptop computer, UMPC, netbook, or personal digital assistant (PDA), etc. The embodiments of this application do not impose any restrictions on the specific type of the second electronic device. In the following description of the embodiments of this application, a smartphone is used as an example of the second electronic device.

[0064] The message sending method provided in this application embodiment is based on Bluetooth dual-channel, that is, based on the ability of a smartphone to simultaneously establish two Bluetooth logical channels with the first processor 170 and the second processor 180 in the wearable device 100. Specifically, after a message from an application on the smartphone is sent to the notification bar on the phone side, the management APP (e.g., a sports and health application) on the smartphone, which is responsible for handling message forwarding and connecting to the wearable device 100, will transmit the message to the wearable device 100 side. When the wearable device 100 receives the message sent by the smartphone, it will display it by default through the MCU, for example, by popping up a half-screen notification on the wearable device 100 side, and displaying the message in full screen after the user clicks on it.

[0065] When a message in the notification bar on the phone is a replyable message, such as a message sent by an instant messaging app, the management app on the smartphone can obtain key information from the replyable message, such as the process ID, application package name, and / or message timestamp, and package this key information into a Bluetooth command for transmission to the wearable device 100. When the wearable device 100 receives this type of tagged message, it displays it via the second processor 180 by default. For example, a half-screen notification pops up on the wearable device 100, and the message is displayed in full screen after the user clicks on it. Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a message display interface on a wearable device 100 according to one embodiment of this application. Figure 2As can be seen, after the wearable device 100 receives a replyable message from the smartphone, the pop-up half-screen notification can be as shown in interface 21. After the user clicks on the half-screen notification, the wearable device 100 can display the message in full screen, as shown in interface 22.

[0066] For replyable messages, the wearable device 100 can provide a quick reply function through the second processor 180, such as transmitting predefined text information or emoji-based expressions; when the user needs to make a custom reply (e.g., pictures, voice, text, custom expressions, exercise records or contact cards, etc.), the second processor 180 wakes up the first processor 170, which then processes the message.

[0067] See Figure 2 Wearable device 100 can provide a quick reply function via icons 23 and 24. Specifically, when the user clicks icon 23, wearable device 100 can display interface 27, from... Figure 2 As can be seen, interface 27 displays emojis. After the user selects an emoji from interface 27, the wearable device 100 can obtain the selected emoji and transmit it to the smartphone's APP (hereinafter referred to as the "management APP"), which is responsible for message forwarding and connecting the wearable device 100, via the second processor 180. The management APP on the smartphone then pushes the emoji transmitted by the second processor 180 from the wearable device 100 to the smartphone's notification bar, thereby enabling the smartphone-side application to complete the reply operation. When the user clicks icon 24, the wearable device 100 can display interface 28, from which... Figure 2 As can be seen, interface 28 displays predefined text information. After the user selects the predefined text information from interface 28, the wearable device 100 can obtain the text information selected by the user and transmit it to the management APP in the smartphone through the second processor 180. The management APP in the smartphone then pushes the text information transmitted by the second processor 180 in the wearable device 100 to the notification bar of the smartphone, and then completes the reply operation using the application on the smartphone side.

[0068] When a user needs to make a custom reply, the user can click on the information box 25 to enter custom text, or click on the icon 26 to select a custom emoticon, exercise record, or contact card, or click on the icon 29 to enter voice. The wearable device 100 then obtains the information entered by the user and transmits it to the management APP on the smartphone through the first processor 170. The management APP on the smartphone then pushes the information transmitted by the first processor 170 in the wearable device 100 to the notification bar of the smartphone, and then completes the reply operation using the application on the smartphone side.

[0069] It should be noted that if the notification bar messages on the smartphone side have been cleared by the user, and the status of the messages on the wearable device 100 side has not been synchronized, the message reply on the wearable device 100 side may fail.

[0070] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of a system architecture provided in one embodiment of this application. Figure 3 As shown, the smartphone establishes Bluetooth channels with the MCU and AP in the wearable device 100, respectively. The message response mechanism of the wearable device 100 may include:

[0071] 301. A replyable message notification was received in the notification bar of an instant messaging app on the smartphone side.

[0072] 302. The smartphone-side management app is responsible for synchronizing messages with the wearable device 100. This management app can be a smartphone app responsible for handling message forwarding and connecting to the wearable device 100, such as a fitness and health app.

[0073] 303. In the case of the first processor 170 on the wearable device 100 going to sleep, the message is processed by the second processor 180; if the user customizes the reply, the second processor 180 will wake up the first processor 170 to perform the relevant operation.

[0074] 304-305, the smartphone-side management app is responsible for forwarding the message to the notification bar, and ultimately relies on the smartphone's system capabilities to send the message to the application to complete the reply operation.

[0075] The message reply strategy on the wearable device 100 side can be shown in Table 1.

[0078] For ease of understanding, the following embodiments of this application will be described using the following methods: Figure 1 Taking the wearable device 100 with the structure shown as an example, combined with Figure 3 The system architecture shown illustrates the message processing method provided in the embodiments of this application.

[0079] Figure 4 This is a flowchart illustrating a message processing method provided in one embodiment of this application. The message processing method can be applied to a wearable device 100, which may include a first processor 170 and a second processor 180. The first processor 170 differs from the second processor 180; the first processor 170 is in a sleep state, while the second processor 180 is in a running state. In the following description of the embodiments, the first processor 170 is used as an access point (AP), and the second processor 180 is used as an MCU (Microcontroller Unit).

[0080] like Figure 4 As shown, the above message processing method may include:

[0081] Step 401: Wearable device 100 receives a message sent by smartphone.

[0082] The messages sent by the smartphone can be obtained from the smartphone's notification bar; for example, the messages can be received by instant messaging apps, or push messages received by news apps or video apps. This embodiment does not limit the type of the messages.

[0083] Specifically, after the management app on the smartphone receives a message from the notification bar, it can select a channel between the smartphone and the MCU of the wearable device 100 according to the channel selection strategy, and send the message received from the notification bar to the MCU of the wearable device 100. The channel between the smartphone and the MCU of the wearable device 100 can be a Bluetooth channel, a WiFi channel, or other types of wireless communication channels. This embodiment does not limit the channel type between the smartphone and the MCU of the wearable device 100. In specific implementation, the MCU of the wearable device 100 can establish the aforementioned channel with the smartphone through the Bluetooth unit 140.

[0084] Step 402: The above message is displayed on the screen of the wearable device 100 by controlling the MCU.

[0085] The display screen of the wearable device 100 can be Figure 1 The display unit 110 in the middle.

[0086] Specifically, controlling the display screen of the wearable device 100 to display the aforementioned message via the MCU can be as follows: the MCU controls the display screen to display the message on half-screen; if the wearable device 100 detects a user triggering an operation to view the message within a predetermined time period after receiving the message, the MCU controls the display screen to display the message on full-screen. The operation triggering the viewing of the message can be a user clicking, double-clicking, or long-pressing the message displayed on half-screen, or it can be a user raising their wrist. This embodiment does not limit the type of operation triggering the viewing of the message; this embodiment uses a user raising their wrist as an example for explanation.

[0087] The aforementioned predetermined duration can be set by the system based on performance and / or implementation requirements during the actual implementation. This embodiment does not limit the length of the aforementioned predetermined duration. For example, the aforementioned predetermined duration can be 1 minute.

[0088] Specifically, after the MCU of the wearable device 100 receives the message, it implements a dual-system collaboration mechanism to transfer the message between the MCU of the wearable device 100 and the AP. The MCU is responsible for caching the message and listening to the AP's wake-up and caching threshold. It also actively synchronizes the cached message to the AP side.

[0089] After the MCU receives the message sent by the smartphone, it controls the display unit 110 to display the message on half of the screen, such as... Figure 2 As shown in interface 21, if the user raises their wrist to view the message within one minute of receiving it, the MCU controls the display unit 110 to display the message in full screen. Figure 2 As shown in interface 22, the MCU does not need to wake up the AP at this time. If the user does not view the message within 1 minute of receiving the message, then after 1 minute, the user needs to swipe to enter the message center (wake up the AP) on the interface displayed on display unit 110 and click to view a message.

[0090] Step 403: Obtain the user's operation on the above message using the wearable device 100.

[0091] Step 404: When the above operation is of the first operation type, the above operation is processed by the MCU.

[0092] The first operation type mentioned above may include quick operations. For example, the quick operation may be a quick reply operation, a quick setting operation, and / or a quick control operation. This embodiment does not limit the specific operation form of the quick operation.

[0093] In the above message processing method, the wearable device 100 receives a message sent by a smartphone, displays the message on the screen of the wearable device 100 through the MCU, and then obtains the user's operation on the message. When the operation type is the first operation type, the operation is processed by the MCU. This allows the MCU to process the user's operation, avoids frequent wake-up of the AP, and improves the battery life of the wearable device 100.

[0094] Figure 5 A flowchart of a message processing method provided in another embodiment of this application is shown below. Figure 5 As shown, this application Figure 4 In the illustrated embodiment, after step 401, the following may also be included:

[0095] Step 501: Determine whether the above message supports a reply via the MCU.

[0096] Specifically, determining whether a message supports a reply via the MCU can be done by: checking if a reply-supporting marker exists in the message; where the reply-supporting marker is added to the message obtained from the notification bar by the smartphone after determining that the message supports a reply; thus, if the message contains a reply-supporting marker, it can be determined that the message supports a reply; if the message does not contain a reply-supporting marker, the MCU can determine whether the message matches a pre-saved message that supports a reply, and if so, it can be determined that the message supports a reply.

[0097] In this embodiment, the messages sent by the smartphone may include messages with added tags and messages without added tags. Among them, messages without added tags may be push messages received by news apps or video apps on the smartphone, and these messages do not support replies. The messages with added tags are obtained by the smartphone after determining that the messages obtained from the notification bar support replies, and then adding a tag that supports replies to the messages obtained from the notification bar. For example, the messages that support replies may be messages received by instant messaging apps.

[0098] The tags indicating that a message supports a reply include the application package name that sent the message on the smartphone, the user-level identifier within the application, and the process ID of the application running the message. Specifically, the smartphone can tag messages that support replies in the following way: pkg+"|"+id+"|"+tag+"|"+uid;

[0099] Pkg: Application package name;

[0100] id: A user-level identifier within the application;

[0101] Tag: Usually null, reserved by the system;

[0102] uid: Process ID.

[0103] In practice, the MCU can pre-store a list of messages that support replies. When the wearable device 100 receives a message from the smartphone, the MCU can first determine whether there is a flag indicating that a reply is supported in the message. If so, the message can be determined to support a reply. If there is no flag indicating that a reply is supported in the message, the MCU can determine whether the message matches a message in the pre-stored message list. If they match, the message can be determined to support a reply.

[0104] Thus, step 404 may include:

[0105] Step 502: When the above message supports replying and the above operation is a quick reply operation, obtain the content of the quick reply through the MCU.

[0106] Specifically, see Figure 2 The quick reply operation described above can be performed by the user clicking icon 23. In this case, the quick reply content can be an emoji selected by the user from interface 27. Alternatively, the quick reply operation described above can be performed by the user clicking icon 24. In this case, the quick reply content can be predefined text information selected by the user from interface 28.

[0107] Step 503: Send the content of the quick reply to the smartphone through the channel between the MCU and the smartphone.

[0108] Furthermore, in this embodiment, after step 403, the following steps may also be included:

[0109] Step 504: When the type of the above operation is the second operation type, the AP is woken up by the MCU and the above operation is processed by the AP; wherein, the second operation type may include a custom operation.

[0110] For example, the above-mentioned custom operations may include custom replies, custom settings, and / or custom controls. This embodiment does not limit the specific operation form of the above-mentioned custom operations.

[0111] Specifically, when the above operation is of the second operation type, the AP is woken up by the MCU and the AP processes the above operation as follows: when the above message supports reply and the above operation is an operation that triggers a custom reply, the AP is woken up by the MCU, the content of the custom reply is obtained by the AP, and the content of the custom reply is sent to the smartphone through the channel between the AP and the smartphone.

[0112] Similarly, the channel between the AP of the wearable device 100 and the smartphone can be a Bluetooth channel, a WiFi channel, or other types of wireless communication channels. This embodiment does not limit the channel type between the smartphone and the AP of the wearable device 100. In specific implementation, the AP of the wearable device 100 can establish the above-mentioned channel with the smartphone through the Bluetooth unit 140.

[0113] Specifically, see Figure 2 The above-mentioned actions that trigger a custom reply can be that the user clicks on information box 25, in which case the custom reply content can be the user's custom text; or, the above-mentioned actions that trigger a custom reply can be that the user clicks on icon 26, in which case the custom reply content can be the user's custom emoticon, exercise record and / or contact card, etc.; or, the above-mentioned actions that trigger a custom reply can be that the user clicks on icon 29, in which case the custom reply content can be the user's voice.

[0114] In this embodiment, the wearable device 100 determines the default processing channel of the service based on the type of the reply content, thereby dynamically running the service on the MCU side or the AP side, avoiding frequent wake-up of the AP and improving the battery life of the wearable device 100.

[0115] Figure 6 A flowchart of a message processing method provided in another embodiment of this application is shown below. Figure 6 As shown, this application Figure 4 In the illustrated embodiment, before step 403, the following may also be included:

[0116] Step 601: Display a prompt message. The prompt message is used to indicate that the above message is processed by a smartphone.

[0117] Thus, step 404 may include:

[0118] Step 602: When the above operation is a confirmation instruction from the user to the above prompt information, the confirmation instruction is sent to the smartphone through the channel between the MCU and the smartphone.

[0119] Step 603: Receive the processing result of the above message sent by the smartphone.

[0120] Step 604: The MCU controls the display screen to show the above processing results.

[0121] Specifically, when a card-type application or a FA-type application is sent from a smartphone, after the MCU displays the card-type application or FA-type application, a prompt message can be displayed on the display screen 194 of the wearable device 100 to indicate that the card-type application or FA-type application is being handled by the smartphone. After obtaining the user's confirmation instruction for the prompt message, the wearable device 100 can send the confirmation instruction to the smartphone through the channel between the MCU and the smartphone. Then, the wearable device 100 receives the processing result of the message sent by the smartphone and controls the display screen to display the processing result through the MCU.
