For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood in specific circumstances.

[0024] The driving method provided in the embodiments of the present application can be used for electronic devices equipped with display screens. The electronic devices can be electronic devices such as tablet computers, mobile phones, e-readers, personal digital assistants (PDAs) based on display screens. Specifically, the electronic devices can include a display screen, a communication module, a digital signal processor, an image processing module, a microcontroller, a screen driving module, a timing control circuit, and a power control circuit.

[0025] The following is a detailed description of the various embodiments of the present application.

[0026] Figure 1 This is a flowchart of Example 1 of the driving method of the electronic device provided in the present application. The driving method of the electronic device provided in the embodiment of the present application can be executed by a driving device, which can be implemented by hardware and / or software and integrated in an electronic device equipped with a display screen.

[0027] The following description takes the driving method of the electronic device executed by the driving device as an example. Figure 1 , the electronic device includes a display screen, a communication module and a digital signal processor, the communication module is in a connected state, and the driving method includes: Step S10, setting the electronic device to a second sleep state, during the second sleep state, setting the central processor of the electronic device and the preset application running in the central processor to a sleep state, and turning off the power of the display screen, when the electronic device receives data information related to the preset application sent by the communication module, the central processor is awakened, the central processor sends the data information to the digital signal processor and then enters a sleep state, and the digital signal processor processes the data information.

[0028] Among them, there may be multiple triggering conditions for setting the electronic device to the second sleep state. When the triggering conditions for setting the electronic device to the second sleep state are met, the electronic device is set to the second sleep state, and the second sleep state can also be understood as a deep sleep state. In one embodiment of the present application, when a lock screen signal of the electronic device is detected, the electronic device is set to the second sleep state, wherein the lock screen signal can be a signal generated by the user pressing the lock screen key, or a signal generated by the user selecting a virtual key. In short, there may be multiple triggering conditions for setting the electronic device to the second sleep state, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited to the triggering conditions listed above.

[0029] In addition, the preset application is pre-set for the electronic device and can be set by the user according to actual needs, or it can be the default setting of the electronic device, that is, when the central processing unit enters the sleep state, except for the running preset application that can remain in the sleep state, other running applications are closed; and the preset application can also be dynamically set for the electronic device according to the detection of a preset event. For example, before the central processing unit enters the sleep state, if it is detected that the running application is processing a preset event (except for an image display event), the application is set as the preset application, and after the central processing unit enters the sleep state, the application also goes to sleep and will not be closed, wherein the preset event may include events such as audio processing and image processing.

[0030] That is, before the electronic device enters the second sleep state, a preset application is running in the central processor, and when the electronic device enters the second sleep state, the central processor of the electronic device and the preset application running in the central processor are set to sleep state, which can greatly reduce the power consumption of the electronic device. Then the display screen is powered off, which can further reduce the power consumption of the electronic device, because when in the deep sleep state, the electronic device will not display or update the picture.

[0031] When the communication module is in a connected state, it means that the electronic device is in a connected state with the outside world through the communication module, and the electronic device can communicate with the outside world.

[0032] Specifically, the communication module includes a WIFI module, a Bluetooth module, a wired network card module and a USB module. That is, the electronic device can communicate with the outside world through one or more of the WIFI module, the Bluetooth module, the wired network card module and the USB module.

[0033] During the second sleep state, when the electronic device receives data information related to the preset application sent by the communication module, the central processor is awakened, and the central processor enters a sleep state after sending the data information to the digital signal processor, and the digital signal processor processes the data information. That is, before the electronic device enters the second sleep state, a preset application is running in the central processor, and during the second sleep state, the communication module can also receive data information sent by the outside world, and then the communication module sends the data information related to the preset application to the electronic device, then the central processor is awakened, and the central processor enters a sleep state after sending the data information to the digital signal processor, and the digital signal processor processes the data information.

[0034] In this way, the digital signal processor can be used to process the data information instead of the central processor. It should be noted that in the electronic device, the central processor and the digital signal processor are powered independently of each other, so when the central processor is in a dormant state, it does not affect the digital signal processor, and the power consumption of the digital signal processor is much lower than that of the central processor. Therefore, it can be achieved that when the electronic device is in a dormant state, data information can still be processed, which is conducive to improving the user experience of the electronic device and reducing the energy consumption of the electronic device.

[0035] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a flow chart of Embodiment 2 of the driving method of the electronic device provided in the present application. Figure 1 Based on the provided driving method, in an embodiment of the present application, the electronic device is set to a second sleep state, during the second sleep state, the central processor of the electronic device and the preset application running in the central processor are set to a sleep state, the display screen is powered off, and when the electronic device receives data information related to the preset application sent by the communication module, the central processor is awakened, and the central processor enters a sleep state after sending the data information to a digital signal processor. Before the step of the digital signal processor processing the data information, the driving method further includes: Step S20: Detecting an idle event of the electronic device, where the idle event includes that no user input signal of the electronic device is detected within a first time period; Step S30: When the idle event is detected, the electronic device is set to a first sleep state, during which the central processor does not update a display screen of the electronic device; Step S40: After the idle event continues for a second period of time, the electronic device is set to a second sleep state.

[0036] That is, the present application detects an idle event of the electronic device, and when the idle event is detected, sets the electronic device to the first dormant state. The idle event includes that no user input signal of the electronic device is detected within a first time period, and the length of the first time period can be set by the user according to personal needs, or can be a default setting of the electronic device.

[0037] In addition, the user input signal of the electronic device is a signal input by the user to the electronic device. In one embodiment of the present application, the user input signal includes a fingerprint input signal and / or a touch input signal. That is, in this embodiment, when the fingerprint input signal or the touch input signal of the electronic device cannot be detected within the first time period, or the fingerprint input signal and the touch input signal of the electronic device cannot be detected at the same time within the first time period, the idle event is detected, and the electronic device is set to the first sleep state. During the first sleep state, the central processor does not update the display screen of the electronic device, thereby reducing the power consumption of the electronic device. Therefore, the first sleep state can also be a shallow sleep state. Although the display screen of the electronic device is not updated at this time, the electronic device can also be returned to the normal state from the first sleep state by touching the display screen. When in the normal state, the central processor of the electronic device and the preset application running in the central processor are in a normal operating state.

[0038] Furthermore, in an embodiment of the present application, the idle event also includes that the display screen of the electronic device is a static screen in the first time period. That is, in this embodiment, it must be simultaneously satisfied that no user input signal of the electronic device is detected in the first time period and the display screen of the electronic device is a static screen in the first time period to be considered an idle event, because when the user uses the electronic device to play a video or a dynamic picture, the user may not input the electronic device, so it can be avoided that the electronic device is set to a dormant state when the user uses the electronic device to play a video or a dynamic picture.

[0039] By setting the first sleep state and the second sleep state, the user's usage habits can be adapted, because the user does not input a signal to the electronic device during the first sleep state, it is possible that the user is just temporarily dealing with other things. When the user wants to continue using the electronic device after dealing with the things, the user can touch the display screen to make the electronic device return to the normal state from the first sleep state, and then continue to use the electronic device, which is very convenient, thereby improving the user experience. If the electronic device is set to the second sleep state, the electronic device cannot be returned to the normal state from the first sleep state by touching the display screen, which is relatively inconvenient for the user to use.

[0040] Furthermore, when the idle event is detected, a preset picture is first updated and displayed on the display screen, and then the electronic device is set to the first sleep state.

[0041] Furthermore, after the idle event continues for a second time period, the electronic device is set to a second sleep state, that is, a deep sleep state. During the second sleep state, the central processor of the electronic device and the preset application running in the central processor are set to a sleep state, and the display screen is powered off, which can minimize the power consumption of the electronic device.

[0042] That is, the present application is provided with a first sleep state and a second sleep state, and the usage states of the electronic device in the first sleep state and the second sleep state are different. In the first sleep state, the electronic device can be returned to a normal state from the first sleep state by touching the display screen, but in the second sleep state, the electronic device cannot be returned to a normal state from the second sleep state by touching the display screen. Thus, the application can adapt to the user's usage habits, reduce the power consumption of the electronic device, and help improve the user experience.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a flow chart of Embodiment 3 of the driving method of the electronic device provided in this application. In this embodiment, Figure 2On the basis of the provided driving method, further, when the idle event is detected, the electronic device is set to a first sleep state, and during the first sleep state, the central processor does not update the display screen of the electronic device, comprising: Step S3A, when the idle event is detected, the electronic device is set to a first sleep state, during the first sleep state, the central processing unit of the electronic device and the preset application running in the central processing unit are set to a sleep state, and the electronic device detects a touch input signal of the display screen, when the electronic device receives data information related to the preset application sent by the communication module, the central processing unit is awakened, the central processing unit sends the data information to the digital signal processor and then enters a sleep state, and the digital signal processor processes the data information.

[0044] During the first dormant state, when the electronic device receives data information related to the preset application sent by the communication module, the central processor is awakened, and the central processor enters a sleep state after sending the data information to the digital signal processor, and the digital signal processor processes the data information. That is, before the electronic device enters the first dormant state, a preset application is running in the central processor. When the electronic device enters the first dormant state, except for the running preset application that can remain in a sleep state, other running applications are closed. During the first dormant state, the communication module can also receive data information sent by the outside world, and then the communication module sends the data information related to the preset application to the electronic device, then the central processor is awakened, and the central processor enters a sleep state after sending the data information to the digital signal processor, and the digital signal processor processes the data information.

[0045] In this way, during the first dormant state, the digital signal processor can also be used to replace the central processor to process the data information. It should be noted that in the electronic device, the central processor and the digital signal processor are powered independently of each other, so when the central processor is in a dormant state, it does not affect the digital signal processor, and the power consumption of the digital signal processor is much lower than that of the central processor. Therefore, it can be achieved that when the electronic device is in a dormant state, data information can still be processed, which is conducive to improving the user experience of the electronic device and reducing the energy consumption of the electronic device.

[0046] Moreover, during the first sleep state, although the central processor of the electronic device and the preset application running in the central processor are set to sleep mode, the display screen of the electronic device will not be updated, but the electronic device still keeps detecting the touch input signal of the display screen to facilitate the user to quickly return the electronic device to a normal state from the first sleep state by touching the display screen.

[0047] Please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a flowchart of the first embodiment of the sub-steps in step S10 or S3A of the driving method of the electronic device provided in this application. Figure 1 Or on the basis of the driving method provided in 3, further, the preset application includes an application with a voice playback function, the digital signal processor includes an audio processing module, and the data information includes audio information; The step of the digital signal processor processing the data information comprises: Step S11 or step S31, decoding the audio information by the audio processing module to obtain an audio signal; Step S12 or step S32, sending the audio signal to the audio playing module for playing.

[0048] Among them, an application with a voice playback function is an application that can play audio signals, so the application can play audio without updating the display image of the electronic device. In addition, when the digital signal processor receives the data information sent by the central processor, the audio information is decoded by the audio processing module to obtain an audio signal, and then the audio signal is sent to the audio playback module for playback. That is, in this embodiment, the user can use the electronic device to play audio when the electronic device is in the first sleep state or the second sleep state, which is conducive to improving the user experience.

[0049] Please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 This is a flowchart of the second embodiment of the sub-steps in step S10 or S3A of the driving method of the electronic device provided in the present application. Figure 1 Or based on the driving method provided in 3, in this embodiment, the digital signal processor includes an image processing module, and the data information includes image information; The step of the digital signal processor processing the data information comprises: Step S13 or step S33, performing image processing on the image information by the image processing module to obtain image data; Step S14 or step S34, sending the image data to the first cache unit.

[0050] That is, in this embodiment, when the digital signal processor receives the data information sent by the central processor, the image processing module performs image processing on the image information to obtain image data, and then sends the image data to the first cache unit. That is, in this embodiment, the user can use the electronic device to process the image data when the electronic device is in the first sleep state or the second sleep state, which is conducive to improving the user experience.

[0051] Please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 6 This is a flowchart of the third embodiment of the sub-steps in step S10 or S3A of the driving method of the electronic device provided in the present application. Figure 1 Or based on the driving method provided in 3, in one embodiment of the present application, the display screen is an ink screen, the digital signal processor includes an image processing module and a waveform module, and the data information includes image information; The step of the digital signal processor processing the data information comprises: Step S15 or step S35, performing image processing on the image information by the image processing module to obtain image data; Step S16 or step S36, processing the image data by the waveform module to obtain driving waveform data of the image data; Step S17 or step S37, sending the driving waveform data to the second buffer unit.

[0052] Wherein, the display screen is an ink screen, and the ink screen needs to convert the image data into a Waveform frame before displaying the image, and the Waveform frame is the waveform data unique to the ink screen, and then the ink screen drives the display image according to the Waveform frame. Therefore, in this embodiment, when the digital signal processor receives the data information sent by the central processor, the image information is processed by the image processing module to obtain the image data, and then the image data is processed by the waveform module to obtain the driving waveform data of the image data, and finally the driving waveform data is sent to the second cache unit. When the electronic device recovers from the first sleep state or the second sleep state to the normal state, the driving waveform data in the second cache unit can be obtained and the image can be displayed, which is conducive to improving the display speed. That is, in this embodiment, the user can use the electronic device to process the image data to obtain the driving waveform data when the electronic device is in the first sleep state or the second sleep state, which is conducive to improving the user experience and display speed.

[0053] Please refer to Figure 7 , Figure 7 This is a flow chart of Embodiment 4 of the driving method of the electronic device provided in this application. Figure 1 On the basis of the driving method provided in or 3, further, in an embodiment of the present application, after the step of the digital signal processor processing the data information, the driving method further includes: Step S50: After the data information processing is completed, the digital signal processor sends a completion signal to the central processor and wakes up the central processor; Step S60: In response to the completion signal, the central processor sends subsequent instructions of the preset application to the communication module, and then the central processor and the preset application enter a sleep state.

[0054] in, Figure 7 For Figure 3 An example of a flowchart based on the above improvements of the driving method is provided.

[0055] Specifically, after the digital signal processor completes processing the data information, the digital signal processor sends a completion signal to the central processor and wakes up the central processor. In response to the completion signal, the central processor continues to execute the subsequent instructions of the preset application, that is, the central processor sends the subsequent instructions of the preset application to the communication module, and then the central processor and the preset application enter a sleep state. The communication module performs corresponding actions according to the subsequent instructions of the preset application. If the subsequent instructions of the preset application are to stop sending data, then the communication module stops sending data to the electronic device; if the subsequent instructions of the preset application are to obtain the next data, then the communication module continues to send data to the electronic device.

[0056] Please refer to Figure 8 , Figure 8 This is a flow chart of Embodiment 5 of the driving method of the electronic device provided in this application. Figure 7 Based on the provided driving method, further, in an embodiment of the present application, after the step of the central processor sending the subsequent instructions of the preset application to the communication module in response to the completion signal, the driving method further includes: Step S70, the communication module obtains data information related to the preset application according to the subsequent instruction; Step S80: The communication module sends data information related to the preset application to the central processing unit.

[0057] That is, in this embodiment, the subsequent instruction of the preset application is to obtain the next data, then the communication module obtains the data information related to the preset application according to the subsequent instruction, and the communication module sends the data information related to the preset application to the central processing unit.
