[0037] 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.

[0038] In the accompanying drawings, the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements with the same or similar functions. The described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all of the embodiments. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present disclosure, and should not be construed as limitations on the present disclosure. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in the field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure. The embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0039] The information collection method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure can be applied to application scenarios that restrict the behavior of system applications and frameworks to collect a large amount of device information. Among them, the device information includes data or attributes that describe the characteristics and status of the device, such as firmware model, device power, device location, and central processing unit (CPU) status. By using a sliding time window method to detect whether the number of device information collection behaviors within the time window exceeds the threshold, the device information collection behavior is restricted, solving the problem of device performance degradation due to too frequent information collection.

[0040] In the related art, time is divided into multiple fixed time windows, and a counter is set for each time window to count the number of information collection behaviors in each time window. If the number exceeds the limit threshold, the information collection behaviors after the moment when the threshold is exceeded in the fixed window are ignored. For example, for terminal devices of the Android system, if the size of the fixed time window is one second, the collection threshold is 100 device information collection behaviors, the time of a certain collection behavior is used as the start time of the first window, and a counter is used to represent the number of requests. When each subsequent collection behavior arrives: if the interval time is greater than one second, the request is passed, the counter is reset, and the current time is set to the interval start time; if the interval time is less than one second, the counter is incremented by one, and if the counter is greater than the collection threshold, no collection behavior is performed, and if it is less than or equal to the collection threshold, collection behavior is performed.

[0041] However, if a large amount of information collection occurs in a short period of time when the fixed window is switched, the detection of the number of times device information is collected will become inaccurate, and it will be impossible to detect information collection behaviors that exceed the collection threshold in a short period of time. The "window boundary effect" caused by such a large amount of information collection in a short period of time will also cause the system to be overloaded instantaneously and cause the device performance to degrade. For example, for Android terminal devices, if the size of the fixed time window is one second, and the collection threshold is 100 device information collection behaviors, there is no access in the first 900ms of the first second, and 100 collection behaviors are generated in the second 100ms, and 100 collection behaviors are generated in the first 100ms of the second second. In this case, the number of collection behaviors actually reaches 200 in a certain second, which exceeds the collection threshold, causing the device performance to degrade and affecting the user experience.

[0042] In view of this, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides an information collection method. In the information collection method provided by the present disclosure, by designing a first time interval, the information collection behavior issued by the system or application is counted in a sliding window manner, the number of device information collection times within the first time interval is obtained, and the device information collection behavior is controlled according to the number of device information collection times.

[0043] Figure 1 is a flow chart of an information collection method according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 1 As shown, the information collection method is used in a terminal and includes the following steps.

[0044] In step S11, a first time interval is determined.

[0045] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first time interval is a time range for collecting and determining the number of times device information is collected. It should be understood that the first time interval can also be called a sliding time window.

[0046] In an exemplary embodiment, the first time interval can be represented by setting a fixed duration, or by setting two pointers to point to two times respectively to represent the left and right boundaries of the first time interval, and the difference between the left and right boundaries is the duration represented by the first time interval.

[0047] In step S12, based on the first time interval, the number of times the device information is collected within the first time interval is counted in real time in a sliding window manner.

[0048] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the first time interval is slid along time in a sliding window manner, so that the number of times the device information is collected within the time length represented by any first time interval can be detected.

[0049] In step S13, based on the real-time statistics of the number of times the device information is collected, the device information collection behavior is controlled, and the collection behavior includes continuing to collect the device information or pausing the collection of the device information.

[0050] In the disclosed embodiment, according to the number of device information collection times acquired in the first time interval, the device information collection behavior of the system application and framework in the device is controlled to avoid the impact on the device performance due to too frequent information collection.

[0051] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, controlling the device information collection behavior may include continuing to collect device information or pausing the collection of device information.

[0052] Figure 2 is a flow chart showing a control device information collection behavior according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 2 As shown, controlling device information collection behavior is used in a terminal, including the following steps.

[0053] because Figure 2 Step S12 in Figure 1 The process is the same as step S11 in , which will not be described in detail here, and reference may be made to the relevant description of the above embodiment.

[0054] In step S13a, in response to the real-time statistical number of device information collection being greater than a threshold number, the collection of device information is suspended.

[0055] In the disclosed embodiment, the statistics of the number of times the device information is collected are performed in real time. By performing the real-time statistics of the number of times the device information is collected, it is ensured that the electronic device can immediately perform control operations according to the number of times the device information is collected.

[0056] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the number threshold is used to determine the threshold for suspending the collection of device information within the first time interval, that is, the maximum number of times that device information collection is allowed within the first time interval, and the number threshold can be set according to the actual usage scenario. When the electronic device performs real-time statistics on the number of times device information is collected, if the number of times the device information is collected exceeds the number threshold, the collection of device information is suspended. For example, if the length of the first time interval is set to 1 second and the counting threshold is 100, when the number of times the device information is collected reaches the threshold at the 0.5th second in the first time interval, the electronic device will suspend the behavior. Assuming that an application wants to collect device information at the 0.6th second in the first time interval, the electronic device will not transmit any device information to the application at this time. It should be understood that the above-mentioned electronic device will not transmit any device information to the application only for illustration, and the embodiment of the present disclosure does not specifically limit the response of the electronic device to the application of collecting device information after the number of times the device information is collected in the first time interval reaches the threshold.

[0057] In step S13b, in response to the real-time counted number of device information collection times being less than or equal to the times threshold, a sliding window is set, and the first time interval is continued to slide to continue collecting device information, and the real-time count of the device information collection times within the first time interval is made.

[0058] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, if the real-time count of device information collection times is less than or equal to the times threshold, it means that the device collection times in the current first time interval does not affect the device performance. By sliding the sliding window, the device information collection times in the next time period are counted.

[0059] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, if the frequency of device information collection is to be counted in a sliding window manner in the first time interval, the first time interval can be divided again to obtain multiple second time intervals of equal length within the first time interval, and sliding can be performed with the second time interval as the sliding step.

[0060] In the disclosed embodiment, after the first time interval is divided into a plurality of second time intervals, it is still necessary to solve how to make the time interval corresponding to the sliding window change continuously to achieve a sliding effect.

[0061] Figure 3is a flow chart of a sliding window sliding method according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 3 As shown, the sliding window sliding method is used in a terminal, and includes the following steps.

[0062] In step S21, the first time interval is divided into n second time intervals of the same length, where n is an integer greater than 1.

[0063] In the disclosed embodiment, the first time interval is divided into a plurality of second time intervals of equal length, wherein the second time interval can also be referred to as a sub-window, and the second time interval can be used to indicate the unit length of each sliding of the sliding window, and can also be used to count the number of times device information is collected within the second time interval, providing higher statistical accuracy, thereby more accurately controlling the frequency of device information collection. Among them, the statistical accuracy is used to indicate the accuracy of the statistical results. It should be understood that the number n of divided sub-windows can be set according to the specific situation. The larger n is, the smaller the time length of each sliding of the first time interval is, and the higher the statistical accuracy is; the smaller n is, the larger the time length of each sliding of the first time interval is, and the lower the statistical accuracy is.

[0064] In step S22, the sliding window is slid with the second time interval as the sliding step until the sliding of the first time interval is completed.

[0065] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the sliding window includes m second time intervals, where m is a positive integer less than or equal to n. That is, the time length included in the sliding window is less than or equal to the time length of the first time interval.

[0066] In step S23, during the sliding process of the sliding window, the number of times the device information is collected within the sliding window is counted in real time.

[0067] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the sliding window slides with the sliding step length as a unit, in response to the occurrence of device information collection behavior, the number of device information collection times within the sliding window is updated.

[0068] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, an independent counter may be maintained for each second time interval included in the sliding window to record the number of times the device information is collected in each second time interval.

[0069] Figure 4 is a flow chart of an information collection method according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 4 As shown, the information collection method is used in a terminal and includes the following steps.

[0070] In step S31, the number of times device information is collected counted by a counter in each of the m second time intervals is obtained.

[0071] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, different second time intervals use different counters to count the number of times device information is collected in the second time interval, that is, the counters of each second time interval are independent of each other, and each counter is used to record the number of times device information is collected in the corresponding second time interval, and the default value of the counter is 0. In response to each device information collection behavior, the counter in the corresponding second time interval will add one to the original count. Through the embodiment of the present disclosure, it is possible to count the number of times device information is collected in each sub-window, and avoid affecting the number of times device information is collected in other sub-windows due to changes in the number of times device information is collected in a certain sub-window.

[0072] In step S32, the sum of the counters in the m second time intervals is used as the number of times the device information is collected in the sliding window.

[0073] In the disclosed embodiment, the second time intervals included in the sliding window are summed up, and if the current sliding window contains unrecorded counters, the unrecorded counter contents are set to 0. For example, if the length of the sliding window is 1 second, the length of the second time interval is 0.1 second, and each second time interval maintains an independent counter, that is, the sliding window contains 10 second time intervals and counters. Assuming that the start time of the current self-recording device information collection times has passed 0.65 seconds, there is 1 second time interval in which statistics have not been completed and 3 second time intervals in which information collection times have not been completed in the sliding window, then the number of device information collection times in the current sliding window is the sum of the counters corresponding to 6 second time intervals in which statistics have been completed and 1 second time interval in which statistics have not been completed.

[0074] In the disclosed embodiment, the number of times device information is collected within the sliding window can be counted at any time.

[0075] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the number of times of device information collection reaches a threshold, in addition to suspending the collection of device information, it is also necessary to suspend the counter from recording the number of times of device information collection behavior.

[0076] Figure 5 is a flow chart of an information collection method according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 5 As shown, the information collection method is used in a terminal and includes the following steps.

[0077] because Figure 5 Step S42, step S43 and Figure 4 Steps S31 and S32 are the same and will not be repeated here. Please refer to the relevant description of the above embodiment.

[0078] In step S41 , in response to the number of times of device information collection counted by the counter at the i-th moment in the k-th second time interval exceeding the number threshold, the number of times of device information collection counted after the i-th moment in the k-th second time interval is ignored.

[0079] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, k is a positive integer less than or equal to m, and in response to the number of times the device information is collected by the counter at the i-th moment in the k-th second time interval exceeding the number threshold, that is, when the device information collection is suspended, the counting of each second time interval in the sliding window is synchronously stopped, providing higher statistical accuracy, thereby more accurately controlling the frequency of information collection.

[0080] In an exemplary embodiment, taking the first time interval of 1 second as an example, it is divided into 10 100 millisecond sub-windows, then at any time, the sum of the counters of the latest 10 sub-windows represents the number of device information collected in the last 1 second. If the total count exceeds the limit, the newly collected device information will be ignored until any sub-window in the sliding window slides out so that the total number of device information collection times is reduced to below the threshold.

[0081] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, by setting a first time interval and counting the number of times device information is collected in the first time interval in real time in a sliding window manner, the frequency of mobile device information collection can be more accurately controlled to avoid the situation where a large amount of information is collected at the moment of window switching. It can also achieve smoother and fairer frequency restrictions to avoid the performance of electronic devices being affected by too frequent information collection. In addition, the embodiment of the present disclosure is highly flexible and can be customized according to specific needs to better adapt to the scenario of mobile device information collection.

[0082] Based on the same concept, an embodiment of the present disclosure also provides an information collection device.

[0083] It is understandable that the information collection device provided by 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.

[0087] The control unit 103 is used to control the device information collection behavior based on the real-time statistics of the number of device information collections, and the collection behavior includes continuing to collect device information or suspending the collection of device information.

[0088] In one embodiment, the control unit controls the device information collection behavior based on the real-time statistics of the number of device information collections, in the following manner: in response to the real-time statistics of the number of device information collections being greater than a number threshold, suspending the collection of device information; in response to the real-time statistics of the number of device information collections being less than or equal to the number threshold, continuing to slide the sliding window to continue collecting device information, and real-time statistics of the number of device information collections within the sliding window; wherein the number threshold is used to determine the threshold for suspending the collection of device information within the first time interval.

[0089] In one embodiment, the processing unit uses the following method to count the number of device information collection times within the first time interval in a sliding window manner based on the first time interval: divide the first time interval into n second time intervals of equal length, where n is an integer greater than 1; slide the sliding window with the second time interval as the sliding step until the sliding of the first time interval is completed, and the sliding window includes m second time intervals, where m is a positive integer less than or equal to n; during the sliding process of the sliding window, count the number of device information collection times within the sliding window in real time.

[0090] In one embodiment, the processing unit uses the following method to count the number of device information collection times within the sliding window in real time: obtain the number of device information collection times counted by the counter in each of the m second time intervals, wherein different second time intervals use different counters to count the number of device information collection times within the second time interval; and take the sum of the counters in the m second time intervals as the number of device information collection times within the sliding window.

[0091] In one embodiment, the control unit is further used to: in response to the number of device information collection counted by the counter at the i-th moment in the k-th second time interval exceeding the number threshold, ignore the device information collection count after the i-th moment in the k-th second time interval, where k is a positive integer less than or equal to m.
