[0058] Figure 4 This is a block diagram illustrating an apparatus according to an exemplary embodiment. Detailed Implementation

[0059] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numerals in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present invention. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of the invention as detailed in the appended claims.

[0060] Regarding the apparatus in the above embodiments, the specific manner in which each module performs its operation has been described in detail in the embodiments related to the method, and will not be elaborated upon here.

[0061] Currently, applications such as cameras are incorporating an increasing number of algorithms, making power consumption a growing concern. This disclosure proposes a power consumption control method, which involves obtaining the current power consumption value of the terminal and the current operating scenario of the application. Based on the current power consumption value and the current operating scenario, the current power consumption level corresponding to the current operating scenario is determined. Then, based on the current power consumption level, peripheral components on the terminal are identified and deactivated. By considering the current operating scenario, this method determines which peripheral components should be deactivated, thereby reducing power consumption.

[0062] The terminal here can be a terminal running an application, such as a camera application, including mobile phones, cameras, tablets, wearable devices, etc.

[0063] This disclosure provides a power consumption control method for use in terminals, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0064] Step 101: Obtain the current power consumption characterization value of the terminal;

[0065] Step 102: Obtain the current running scenario of the application;

[0066] Step 103: Based on the current power consumption characterization value and the current operating scenario, determine the current power consumption level corresponding to the current operating scenario;

[0067] Step 104: Based on the current power consumption level, determine the peripheral components on the terminal that have stopped operating.

[0068] In step 101, the current power consumption characteristic value of the terminal is obtained. This power consumption characteristic value can be a specific power consumption value or a power consumption level derived from a specific power consumption value. The power consumption level can be, for example, low, medium, or high. The method for obtaining the current power consumption of the terminal can employ existing techniques, which will not be elaborated upon here.

[0069] In step 102, the current running scene of the application is obtained. Taking a camera application as an example, the running scenes of a camera application include, for example, normal preview, high-definition shooting, HDR shooting, video recording, portrait, etc.

[0070] In step 103, based on the current power consumption characterization value and the current operating scenario, the current power consumption level corresponding to the current operating scenario is determined. Here, the current power consumption level corresponding to the current operating scenario may be the same as or different from the power consumption level corresponding to the terminal's current power consumption characterization value.

[0071] In step 104, based on the current power consumption level determined in the above steps, peripheral components on the terminal that will stop operating are identified in order to reduce power consumption.

[0072] By employing the above method, and considering the current operating scenario, the peripheral components that should be deactivated can be determined. This allows for the targeted identification of peripheral components to be deactivated based on different operating scenarios. This power-saving method fully considers system performance, reducing power consumption while avoiding significant impact on system performance, thus improving the user experience.

[0073] In one exemplary embodiment, determining the current power consumption level corresponding to the current operating scenario based on the current power consumption characterization value and the current operating scenario includes:

[0074] Obtain the user's preference for the operating scenarios of the application;

[0075] Based on the current power consumption characterization value, the current operating scenario, and the preference level for the operating scenario, the current power consumption level corresponding to the current operating scenario is determined.

[0076] In this implementation, the user's preference level for each running scenario of the application is obtained. This preference level can be obtained by collecting the user's usage information of the application. For example, the frequency and / or number of times the user uses the application for each running scenario is statistically analyzed, and the user's preference level for each running scenario is obtained by sorting the frequency and / or number of times of use. For example, running scenarios with a usage frequency exceeding a set value correspond to a strong preference level, while running scenarios with a usage frequency equal to or lower than the set value correspond to a weak preference level. The preference level can be represented as strong and weak, or as strong, medium, and weak, or as sorted by 1, 2, and 3. For example, Table 1 shows the preference level for each running scenario of a camera application based on a user's usage statistics.

[0077] Table 1

[0078] Operating scenarios Normal Preview High-definition photography HDR photography Video portrait Preference powerful weak weak weak powerful

[0079] Then, based on the current power consumption characterization value, the current operating scenario, and the preference for the operating scenario, the current power consumption level corresponding to the current operating scenario is determined.

[0080] In this implementation, the current power consumption level corresponding to the current operating scenario is determined with reference to the user's preference for the operating scenario. Therefore, the above method can control power consumption while ensuring the performance of the operating scenario preferred by the user as much as possible.

[0081] In one exemplary embodiment, determining the current power consumption level corresponding to the current operating scenario based on the current power consumption characterization value, the current operating scenario, and the preference level of the operating scenario includes:

[0082] Based on the current power consumption characterization value, obtain and determine the power consumption level corresponding to the current power consumption characterization value;

[0083] Based on the current operating scenario and the degree of preference for the operating scenario, obtain the degree of preference corresponding to the current operating scenario;

[0084] In response to the preference level corresponding to the current operating scenario being higher than or equal to a preset level, the current power consumption level is determined to be a power consumption level lower than the power consumption level corresponding to the current power consumption characterization value;

[0085] In response to the fact that the preference level corresponding to the current operating scenario is lower than the preset level, the current power consumption level is determined to be the power consumption level corresponding to the current power consumption characterization value.

[0086] In this implementation, for example, the power consumption level corresponding to the current power consumption value is determined based on whether the current power consumption value falls within the low, medium, or high range. Based on the user's preference for each operating scenario and the current operating scenario, the user's preference for the current operating scenario can be obtained.

[0087] The user's preference for the current operating scenario is higher than or equal to the preset level. For example, if the preference level is "strong," it means the user really likes the operating scenario. In this case, the user experience should be prioritized, and therefore the current power consumption level should be lower than the power consumption level corresponding to the current power consumption rating. For example, if the current power consumption rating corresponds to a "high" power consumption level, and the current operating scenario is a normal preview with a "strong" preference level, then the current power consumption level determined for this operating scenario is "medium."

[0088] The user's level of preference for the current operating scenario is lower than the preset level. For example, if the preference level is "weak," it means the user doesn't really like the operating scenario. In this case, there's less need to consider the user experience under this operating scenario, so the current power consumption level is the power consumption level corresponding to the current power consumption characterization value. For example, if the current power consumption characterization value corresponds to a high power consumption level, and the current operating scenario is high-definition photography, which corresponds to a "weak" preference level, then the determined current power consumption level for this operating scenario is high.

[0089] In this implementation, when the user has a high level of preference for the current operating scenario, the power consumption level corresponding to the current power consumption value is reduced; when the user has a low level of preference for the current operating scenario, the power consumption level corresponding to the current power consumption value remains unchanged. In this way, when controlling power consumption, the peripheral components that need to be shut down are determined based on a full consideration of the user's preference for the operating scenario, thereby ensuring a good user experience.

[0090] In one exemplary embodiment, determining the peripheral components that have stopped operating on the terminal based on the current power consumption level includes:

[0091] Obtain the user's preference for peripheral components related to the application;

[0092] Based on the current power consumption level and the preference for the peripheral components, the peripheral components that are to be stopped on the terminal are determined.

[0093] In this implementation, for example, when the application is a camera application, the user's preference for peripherals actually reflects the advantages that the peripherals bring to the camera, such as image clarity, image detail, shooting in motion scenes, and shooting in low-light environments. The relationship between the above advantages and peripheral components is as follows:

[0094] Image sharpness and detail are related to peripheral components in camera applications, such as the VCM (Voice Coil Motor). The VCM, in electronics, refers to the voice coil motor, primarily used for focusing. Focusing methods include contrast-detection autofocus (CAF) and phase-detection autofocus (PDAF). Focusing characteristics result in sharp image quality.

[0095] For shooting action scenes, peripheral components related to camera applications include OIS (Optical Image Stabilizer), which is an optical component used for image stabilization. It has the function of optical image stabilization and can avoid or reduce the instrument shake that occurs during the capture of optical signals.

[0096] When taking photos in low-light environments, peripheral components related to the camera application include a flash. A flash is one way to increase exposure, especially in dimly lit places, where using a flash helps to make the scene brighter.

[0097] By collecting information through user surveys or big data analysis, and based on the auxiliary characteristics of peripheral components to the camera, it is possible to obtain users' preferences for these peripheral components. Table 2 provides an example of how users prefer the three types of peripheral components mentioned above.

[0098] Table 2

[0099] Peripheral components VCM Flash Light OIS Preference 3 1 2

[0100] The higher the number, the more users appreciate the auxiliary features of that peripheral component, indicating they value the features it provides. As shown in the table above, VCM is highly favored by users, suggesting they prioritize image clarity. Therefore, when optimizing power consumption for peripheral components, the auxiliary features of VCM should be considered as much as possible. In other words, when the current power consumption level is low, this peripheral component should be retained as much as possible.

[0101] Table 2 shows the degree of user preference for peripheral components in sorted order. Of course, the degree of user preference for peripheral components can also be expressed in terms of strong, medium, weak, etc.

[0102] Then, based on the current power consumption level and the preference level of the peripheral components, the peripheral components that will stop operating on the terminal are determined. The peripheral components that will stop operating are determined according to the peripheral components with a certain preference level corresponding to the current power consumption level. For example, the current power consumption level corresponds to a peripheral component with a certain preference level that will continue to operate; or, the current power consumption level corresponds to a peripheral component with a certain preference level that will be stopped operating.

[0103] In one exemplary embodiment, determining which peripheral components on the terminal will stop operating based on the current power consumption level and the preference level of the peripheral components includes:

[0104] Obtain the correspondence between each power consumption level and the peripheral components that have stopped operating, or the correspondence between each power consumption level and the peripheral components that continue to operate;

[0105] Based on the current power consumption level, the preference for the peripheral components, and the corresponding relationship, the peripheral components that are no longer running on the terminal are determined.

[0106] In this implementation, taking the camera application as an example, Table 3 shows the correspondence between each power consumption level and the peripheral components that stop operating.

[0107] Table 3

[0108]

[0109] Then, based on the current power consumption level, the preference level of each peripheral component, and the above correspondence, the peripheral components that will stop operating on the terminal are determined. For example, when the current power consumption level is medium, the peripheral components that will stop operating are those with a preference level of less than 3, i.e., the peripheral components that will stop operating are Flash Light and OIS. Table 3 above uses the correspondence between each power consumption level and the peripheral components that will stop operating as an example. Alternatively, the peripheral components that will stop operating can be determined based on the correspondence between each power consumption level and the peripheral components that will continue to operate.

[0110] The method described above determines when peripheral components stop operating based on the user's preference for the current operating scenario and the peripheral components themselves. Therefore, when controlling power consumption, the user's preferences can be fully considered, and the user's needs can be met as much as possible, thus improving the user experience.

[0111] In one exemplary embodiment, obtaining the current power consumption characterization value of the terminal includes:

[0112] In response to launching the application, the current power consumption characterization value is obtained.

[0113] In this implementation, the power consumption of the terminal is measured when the application is launched to obtain the current power consumption value. Of course, the power consumption of the terminal can also be measured in real time or periodically.

[0114] In one exemplary embodiment, the method further includes:

[0115] Stop the operation of the identified peripheral components.

[0116] In this implementation, after identifying peripheral components that are to be stopped, their operation is halted to reduce power consumption. In some cases, peripheral components identified as needing to be stopped may not actually be running in the current operating scenario; in such cases, it is unnecessary to stop them.

[0117] In one exemplary embodiment, the application is a camera application.

[0118] In this embodiment, the application is a camera application. Of course, it can also be other types of applications, as long as the application involves multiple operating scenarios or application modes and runs peripheral components, the power control method disclosed herein can be used.

[0119] The following uses a camera application as an example to illustrate the power control method of this disclosure. Figure 2 As shown, the method includes:

[0120] Step 201: Detect the power consumption value when the camera application of the terminal is opened, and obtain the power consumption level corresponding to the current power consumption value, for example, the obtained power consumption level is high;

[0121] Step 202: Obtain the current running scene of the camera, for example, the current running scene is a normal preview;

[0122] Step 203: Obtain the preference level of the running scene, as shown in Table 1, and determine that the preference level of the current normal preview scene is strong.

[0123] Step 204: Based on the current power consumption level being high and the preference for the normal preview mode being strong, determine that the power consumption level should be reduced by one level to medium.

[0124] Step 205: Obtain the preference level of peripheral components, as shown in Table 2;

[0125] Step 206: Obtain the correspondence between power consumption level and peripheral components that have stopped working. For example, as shown in Table 3, when the power consumption level is medium, the preference level of the peripheral components that have stopped working is less than 3. According to Table 2, the peripheral components that have stopped working are determined to be Flash Light and OIS.

[0126] Step 207: Stop the operation of the identified peripheral components. For example, stop Flash Light and OIS, thereby reducing the power consumption of the terminal.

[0127] By employing the power control method described above, and considering the camera's current operating scenario, the peripheral components that should be shut down can be determined. This allows for targeted selection of peripheral components to cease operation based on different operating scenarios. This power reduction method fully considers system performance, minimizing power consumption while avoiding significant impact on system performance, thus improving the user experience.
