[0064] Here, exemplary embodiments will be described in detail, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The implementations described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all implementations consistent with the present disclosure.

[0065] The terminal control method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is applied to the scenario where the terminal is lost.

[0066] For the convenience of description in the following embodiments of the present disclosure, confirming that the terminal detects that the signal of the wearable device is lost or weakened can also be referred to as entering the loss detection mode or entering the loss monitoring sentinel mode, and the three can be converted to each other. It should be understood that in the examples of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the mobile terminal can be a mobile phone or a tablet, etc., but is not limited to this; the wearable device can be a smart watch or a smart bracelet, etc., and is also not limited to this. In the following partial description, the mobile phone is described as a mobile terminal and the smart watch is described as a wearable device.

[0067] Figure 1 is a flow chart of a terminal control method according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 1 As shown, the method is applied to a terminal, and the method includes step S11 and step S12.

[0068] In step S11, in response to determining that the signal strength of communication between the terminal and the connected wearable device is less than a signal strength threshold and the wearable device is in a wearing state, the state of the terminal is determined.

[0069] The state of the terminal includes a stationary state or a moving state, and the signal strength threshold is the minimum signal strength for establishing a communication connection between the terminal and the wearable device.

[0070] In the disclosed embodiment, the terminal determines whether to determine the state of the terminal through the signal strength between the terminal and the wearable device and the wearing state of the wearable device. For example, when the signal strength between the terminal and the wearable device is less than a threshold and the wearable device is in the wearing state, the terminal confirms the current state.

[0071] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal detects the signal strength of the connected wearable device. When the signal strength is very weak and lower than a preset signal strength threshold, the condition for triggering the determination of the terminal status is met.

[0072] In step S12, environmental information is collected according to the state of the terminal.

[0073] In the disclosed embodiment, the terminal will collect environmental information according to the current motion or stationary state of the terminal to assist the user in finding the lost terminal device more efficiently.

[0074] The terminal collects environmental information according to the terminal status.

[0075] The following is an explanation of the implementation process of environmental information collection in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0076] Figure 2 is a flow chart showing a method for collecting environmental information according to the state of a terminal according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 2 As shown, the method includes steps S21 and S22.

[0077] In step S21, if the state of the terminal is switched from the moving state to the stationary state within the first time threshold, and the image sensor of the terminal is collecting image information, the image information of the environment is stopped from being collected.

[0078] The first time threshold represents the length of time. When the state of the terminal switches from a moving state to a stationary state within the first time threshold, and the image sensor of the terminal is collecting image information, the collection of image information in the environment is stopped; that is, the camera is turned off, because the image of the environment will not change significantly in the stationary state, and in order to have a longer battery life, the camera is turned off.

[0079] In step S22, if the terminal is in a stationary state for a duration greater than a second time threshold, environmental change information in the environment is collected, where the environmental change information includes at least one of the following: sound change information and position change information.

[0080] The second time threshold represents the length of time. The sensor in the terminal determines that the current terminal is in a stationary state after comparing the previous and subsequent data. For example, the value of the acceleration sensor is always lower than the threshold during motion, that is, no motion occurs. Or the audio signal collected by the microphone has not changed, indicating that the terminal is still in a stationary state. And the stationary state is maintained for more than the second time threshold. Then, the environmental change information in the environment is collected, which can be characterized here as being determined by the audio signal collected by the microphone sensor and the location information provided by the positioning module.

[0081] In the disclosed embodiment, the terminal has entered the lost monitoring mode. If the current static state is converted from the moving state, the image sensor stops collecting environmental information. If the static state is maintained for a long time, the sound and positioning information of the environment in which the terminal is located are collected. Data auxiliary support is provided for finding the lost terminal.

[0082] After being lost, the terminal records sound and positioning information when it is stationary, and when it is moving, the terminal will collect other information about the environment.

[0083] Figure 3 is a flow chart showing a method for collecting environmental information according to the state of a terminal according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 3 As shown, the method includes steps S31 and S32.

[0084] In step S31, it is determined that the state of the terminal is a moving state.

[0085] The terminal is detected to have moved by the acceleration value collected by the acceleration sensor in the terminal. For example, when the terminal is picked up by a person, the acceleration sensor detects the change of data, and the terminal is in motion at this time.

[0086] In step S32, environmental information is collected in at least one of the following ways: periodically collecting and recording image information of the environment in which the terminal is located; collecting sound information in the environment; collecting and recording position change information of the terminal in the environment.

[0087] After the terminal is lost and in motion, it periodically collects and records image information of the environment in which the terminal is located, collects sound information of the environment in which the terminal is located, and collects and records position change information in the environment in which the terminal is located. For example, in a scenario where a mobile phone is used after being stolen, the mobile phone is disconnected from the wearable device and enters the lost monitoring mode. Since the mobile phone is currently being used by someone, the acceleration sensor detects that the mobile phone is in motion. At this time, the mobile phone starts the camera to collect image information of the environment in which it is located, and records the environment in which it is located, and records the motion trajectory information generated by the current positioning.

[0088] In the disclosed embodiment, the terminal enters a lost monitoring mode and is in motion. The image, sound, and positioning information at this time are recorded to provide useful information for retrieving the terminal. The environment of the terminal after it is lost can also be recorded to facilitate the search for the terminal.

[0089] After the terminal is lost, regardless of whether the phone is stationary or in motion, if the terminal records the environmental information in the cloud or informs other terminals, the efficiency of terminal recovery can be improved.

[0090] Figure 4 is a flow chart of a method for sending environmental information according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 4 As shown, the method includes S41, S42 and S43.

[0091] because Figure 4 Step S41, step S42 and Figure 3 Step S31 and step S32 are the same as in the above embodiment and will not be described in detail here.

[0092] In step S43, the environmental information collected by the terminal is sent to the target end.

[0093] The target end includes at least one of the following: the cloud and the target terminal. After the terminal collects environmental information such as images, sounds, and positioning, it sends it to the target end, where the target end can be the cloud, which permanently retains the data so that other terminals can view the environmental data recorded by the current lost terminal; the target end can also be the target terminal, which directly receives the environmental information recorded by the lost terminal.

[0094] In the disclosed embodiment, after the terminal is lost, the collected environmental data is sent to the cloud or other terminals, which can provide more favorable reference information for determining the status and location of the terminal.

[0095] Figure 5 is a flow chart of a communication method after a terminal and a wearable device are reconnected according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 5 As shown, the method includes steps S51 and S52.

[0096] because Figure 5 Step S51, step S52 and Figure 1 Step S11 and step S12 are the same as in the above embodiment and will not be described in detail here.

[0097] In step S53, in response to monitoring that the signal strength for establishing communication between the terminal and the wearable device is greater than or equal to a signal strength threshold, the environmental information collected by the terminal is sent to the wearable device.

[0098] In the disclosed embodiment, as the signal strength between the terminal and the wearable device becomes stronger than the preset signal strength threshold, the terminal sends the collected environmental information to the wearable device. For example, the lost mobile phone and the user's smart watch are close to each other, and after the signal between the mobile phone and the smart watch reaches the threshold, the mobile phone sends the collected image information, sound information, and positioning information to the smart watch. The information received on the smart watch can greatly facilitate the user to quickly find the mobile phone.

[0099] As the distance shortens, when the signal strength of the wearable device detected by the terminal is very strong, the terminal automatically exits the loss monitoring mode.

[0100] Figure 6 is a flow chart of a terminal control method according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 6 As shown, the method includes steps S61, S62 and S63.

[0101] because Figure 5 Step S61, step S62 and Figure 1 Step S11 and step S12 are the same as in the above embodiment and will not be described in detail here.

[0102] In step S63, in response to the signal strength between the wearable device being greater than or equal to the signal strength threshold, and / or the terminal being triggered to unlock, the environmental information collection is stopped. When the terminal detects that the signal strength of the connected wearable device is very strong, or the terminal is triggered to unlock the signal. For example, when the user finds the mobile phone through the smart watch and holds the mobile phone in his hand, since the communication signal between the smart watch and the mobile phone is very strong, it can be considered that the mobile phone has been found at this time. Alternatively, when the user unlocks the mobile phone, the unlock signal is triggered, which also indicates that the mobile phone has been found at this time. And, since the terminal has been found, the terminal stops collecting the surrounding environmental information.

[0103] The above embodiments all use the terminal as the main body to complete the terminal control method, and a wearable device can also be used as the main body.

[0104] Figure 7 is a flow chart of a terminal control method according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 7 As shown, the method includes steps S71 to S74.

[0105] In step S71, the wearable device establishes a connection with the terminal, and the wearable device is in a wearing state.

[0106] The user wears a wearable device and, while searching for the bomb terminal, gradually approaches it and the wearable device begins to reestablish connection with the terminal.

[0107] In step S72, in response to the signal strength of the communication connection established between the wearable device and the terminal being less than the signal strength threshold, the established connection with the terminal is disconnected.

[0108] When the signal strength of the communication connection established between the wearable device and the terminal is lower than a preset signal strength threshold, the established connection with the terminal is disconnected.

[0109] In step S73, in response to the signal strength of establishing a communication connection between the wearable device and the terminal being greater than or equal to a signal strength threshold, the wearable device re-establishes a connection with the terminal.

[0110] The signal strength of the communication connection established between the wearable device and the terminal becomes stronger until it is greater than or equal to the preset signal strength threshold, indicating that the signal strength is enhanced and the wearable device and the terminal are reconnected.

[0111] In step S74, based on the re-established connection, the environmental information collected by the terminal is received.

[0112] After the wearable device and the terminal are reconnected, the wearable device receives the collected environmental information sent by the terminal. For example, when a smart watch is connected to a mobile phone again, the smart watch receives image information, sound information, and positioning information collected by the mobile phone to assist in finding the mobile phone.

[0113] In the disclosed embodiment, the wearable device is used as the main body, from establishing a connection with the terminal, to disconnecting the connection, and then previewing the terminal data after re-establishing the connection, it is linked with the terminal to provide an auxiliary role for the timely retrieval of the terminal.

[0114] Figure 8 is a flow chart of a terminal control method according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 8 As shown, the method includes:

[0115] The terminal will connect with the wearable device to detect the signal strength;

[0116] If the terminal detects that the signal of the wearable device is lost or weakened, the terminal enters the loss monitoring sentinel mode;

[0117] In the loss detection mode, the terminal detects changes in the environment, such as changes in sound and changes in the movement of the phone. If no changes are detected in the terminal's environment, the terminal is in a stationary state. If the user unlocks the terminal or the terminal reconnects with the wearable device, the terminal exits the loss detection mode.

[0118] In the loss detection mode, if the terminal detects changes in the environment and movement of the terminal, the terminal will start the camera to take pictures at intervals and upload the pictures to the cloud. Based on this movement information, the terminal sends the movement status of the terminal to the emergency contact through automatic dialing or SMS.

[0119] Fig. 9 is a schematic diagram showing a data flow between a terminal and a wearable device according to an exemplary embodiment, such as Fig. 9 As shown in the figure, the data flow is specifically as follows:

[0120] The terminal establishes a connection with the wearable device;

[0121] After the terminal is lost, as the distance between the terminal and the wearable device increases, the signal strength of the communication of the wearable device detected by the terminal gradually weakens until the two are disconnected;

[0122] The terminal confirms disconnection from the wearable device;

[0123] The terminal collects environmental data to assist users in finding lost terminals based on the current stationary or moving state of the terminal;

[0124] When the distance between the wearable device and the terminal decreases, the signal strength of the communication between the two increases until they are reconnected, and the terminal sends the collected environmental information to the wearable device;

[0125] When the signal strength of the communication between the terminal and the wearable device is strong enough, or when the user finds the terminal and unlocks it, the terminal automatically stops collecting surrounding environment information.

[0126] Through the method disclosed in the above embodiment, the terminal can autonomously detect the current state and environmental changes during the retrieval process, which helps the user to retrieve the terminal in time.

[0127] Based on the same concept, the embodiment of the present disclosure also provides a terminal control device 100.

[0128] It is understandable that the terminal control device 100 provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure includes hardware structures and / or software modules corresponding to the execution of each function in order to realize the above functions. In combination with the units and algorithm steps of each example disclosed in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the embodiment of the present disclosure can be implemented in the form of hardware or a combination of hardware and computer software. Whether a function is executed in the form of hardware or computer software driving hardware depends on the specific application and design constraints of the technical solution. Those skilled in the art may use different methods to implement the described functions for each specific application, but such implementation should not be considered to exceed the scope of the technical solution of the embodiment of the present disclosure.
