[0025] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the specific technical solution of the present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present application, but are not used to limit the scope of the present application.

[0026] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this application belongs. The terms used herein are only for the purpose of describing the embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application.

[0027] In the following description, reference is made to “some embodiments”, which describe a subset of all possible embodiments, but it will be understood that “some embodiments” may be the same subset or different subsets of all possible embodiments and may be combined with each other without conflict.

[0028] It should be pointed out that the terms "first\second\third" involved in the embodiments of the present application are used to distinguish similar or different objects, and do not represent a specific ordering of the objects. It can be understood that "first\second\third" can be interchanged in a specific order or sequence where permitted, so that the embodiments of the present application described here can be implemented in an order other than that illustrated or described here.

[0029] In the prior art, in the process of turning on or off the mode of a terminal device, the user usually switches the mode through a corresponding mode switching control, and the mode switching control usually only turns off the corresponding application function, and the underlying device is not necessarily turned off.

[0030] For example, you can exit the camera mode by turning off the camera mode control, making the terminal device unable to take photos. However, this solution may not turn off the camera, but only turn off the specific function of taking photos from the framework layer of the terminal device. This may lead to some malware directly calling the camera that is not turned off through special means, thereby realizing the transmission of photo data, which may lead to data leakage, etc.

[0031] Therefore, when the technical means in the prior art are adopted, there is a situation where when a certain function is turned off, the working state of the underlying device corresponding to the function does not match, resulting in poor effect of mode switching, that is, the mode switching of the terminal device cannot be accurately implemented according to the user's operation.

[0032] In view of this, a mode switching solution is proposed in an embodiment of the present application. The hardware structure corresponding to the mode switching method is explained in detail below.

[0033] Figure 1 For a hardware structure diagram of the terminal device provided in the embodiment of the present application, please refer to Figure 1 The terminal device includes: a processor 110, a memory 120, an input unit 130 and a function unit 140.

[0034] The processor 110 is the control center of the terminal device, and uses various interfaces and lines to connect various parts of the entire terminal device. By running or executing software programs and / or modules stored in the memory 120, and calling data stored in the memory 120, the processor 110 performs various functions of the terminal device and processes data, thereby monitoring the terminal device as a whole. Optionally, the processor 110 may include one or more processing units; optionally, the processor 110 may integrate an application processor, which mainly processes operating devices, user interfaces, and application programs, etc. Of course, other processors may also be included, which are not listed here one by one.

[0035] The memory 120 can be used to store software programs and modules. The processor 110 executes various functional applications and data processing of the terminal device by running the software programs and modules stored in the memory 120. The memory 120 mainly includes a program storage area and a data storage area, wherein the program storage area can store operating devices, at least one application required for a function (such as a sound playback function, an image playback function, etc.), etc.; the data storage area can store data created according to the use of the terminal device (such as audio data, a phone book, etc.), etc. In addition, the memory 120 may include a high-speed random access memory, and may also include a non-volatile memory, such as at least one disk storage device, a flash memory device, or other volatile solid-state storage devices.

[0036] The input unit 130 can be a physical button, such as a push button, a rotary button, etc., and there is no specific limitation here. The corresponding physical button form can be selected based on actual needs. The physical button can respond to the user's trigger to achieve mode switching. For example, the user can turn on or off certain functional units by triggering the physical button.

[0037] The functional unit 140 can be any type of functional device, for example: a speaker, a display screen, a receiver, a microphone, a flashlight, a camera, a near field communication device and other types of devices, which are not specifically limited here, and the corresponding functional unit settings can be selected according to actual needs. The user can control the opening or closing of the functional unit 140 through the input unit 130. Among them, each functional unit 140 can correspond to one or more input units 130, and accordingly, each input unit 130 can also correspond to one or more functional units, which are not specifically limited here. In the process of realizing the control of any functional unit 140, the opening or closing of the functional unit can be realized through one or more input units 130.

[0038] It is to be understood that the structure illustrated in the embodiments of the present application does not constitute a specific limitation on the terminal device. In other embodiments of the present application, the terminal device may include more or fewer components than shown in the figure, or combine certain components, or split certain components, or arrange the components differently. The components shown in the figure may be implemented in hardware, software, or a combination of software and hardware.

[0039] The following explains the software architecture corresponding to this mode switching method.

[0040] Figure 2 For a schematic diagram of the software architecture of the terminal device provided in the embodiment of the present application, please refer to Figure 2It should be noted that the terminal device can be, for example, a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a laptop computer, a PDA, a mobile internet device (MID), a wearable device, a virtual reality (VR) device, an augmented reality (AR) device, a smart screen, an artificial intelligence (AI) speaker, a headset, a terminal in industrial control, a terminal in self-driving, a terminal in remote medical surgery, a terminal in smart grid, a terminal in transportation safety, a terminal in smart city, a terminal in smart home, a personal digital assistant (PDA), and other terminal devices with physical buttons, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited to this.

[0041] The terminal device may include: a driver layer 210 , a framework layer 220 and an application layer 230 .

[0042] Among them, the driving layer 210 can have a driving function, which may include button driving and device driving. The button driving can, for example, be a driving achieved by triggering a physical button on the terminal device; the device driving can, for example, be a driving performed by triggering the opening or closing of each functional unit.

[0043] For example, a physical button may be triggered by a user to realize button driving, and a corresponding functional unit may be turned off by triggering a device driver.

[0044] The framework layer 220 may include various services and abstract layers. For example, a key driver may correspond to a key abstract layer and a mode switching service, and a device driver may correspond to a device abstract layer and a device service. In the actual implementation process, the key abstract layer may be triggered by the key driver, and then the mode switching service monitors the key abstract layer, and the corresponding settings are made to the switches in the device service based on the monitoring results. After the settings are completed, the device driver may be triggered based on the device abstract layer.

[0045] The application layer 230 may specifically include multiple application software, such as mobile phone application software APP, etc., which are not specifically limited here. The use status or the on / off status of each function in the application may be specifically displayed based on the information fed back by the framework layer 220 to the application layer.

[0046] It should be noted that the software structure framework of the above-mentioned terminal device is only an example. For example, the operating system of the terminal device is Android system. Of course, the terminal device can also use other operating systems, such as Linux operating system, Hongmeng operating system, or IOS operating system, etc. In different operating systems, the software structure framework may change, but as long as the functions implemented by each functional module are similar to the modules in the embodiment of the present application, the handwriting display method provided in the embodiment of the present application can also be implemented, and it should not be understood as a limitation on the software structure framework.

[0047] The following explains the implementation process of the mode switching method provided in the embodiment of the present application based on the hardware structure and software architecture of the above-mentioned terminal device.

[0048] Figure 3 For a flow chart of the mode switching method provided in the embodiment of the present application, please refer to Figure 3 , the method comprising:

[0049] S310: In response to a trigger operation on a target key, a control instruction is sent to a device driver of a target device corresponding to a target device function through a key driver of the target key.

[0050] The trigger operation is used to switch the working mode of the terminal device.

[0051] It should be noted that the execution subject of the method is the above-mentioned terminal device, and the target button can be Figure 1 The input unit shown in, for example, can be a physical button set on a mobile phone, such as a power button, a volume button, etc., and is not specifically limited here.

[0052] Key driver is Figure 2 The key driver in the driver layer of the terminal device in the target device function can be one of the multiple functions that the terminal device can realize, such as: photo function, broadcasting function, screen recording function, flashlight function and other types of functions. There is no specific limitation here. The above enumeration is only a feasible example. Different functions can correspond to different target devices. For example, the target device corresponding to the photo function can be a camera, and the target device corresponding to the broadcasting function can be a speaker, etc. It can be any one or more functional units in the hardware structure of the terminal device. The device driver corresponding to the target device is Figure 2 Device driver within the driver layer of the mid-terminal device.

[0053] That is, the terminal device can respond to the user's triggering operation on the target key, thereby controlling the key driver of the target key to send a control instruction to the device driver of the target device corresponding to the function of the target device.

[0054] For example, if the terminal device is a mobile phone, when implementing the process of closing the camera function, the specific steps are as follows:

[0055] In response to the user's triggering operation on the camera function off button, the mobile phone can send a control instruction to the device driver of the camera corresponding to the camera function through the button driver of the camera function off button. The control instruction can specifically be a data packet.

[0056] S320: Executing the control instruction through the device driver to control the target device function to be in a target state corresponding to the control instruction.

[0057] The target state includes an on state or a off state.

[0058] Optionally, after receiving the control instruction, the device driver may execute the control instruction, so that the target device function is in a target state corresponding to the control instruction.

[0059] Among them, the control instruction may include an open instruction or a close instruction. Accordingly, in the process of executing the control instruction, the target device function can be turned on or off. For example, the open instruction can correspond to the open state; the close instruction can correspond to the close state.

[0060] For example, if the terminal device is a mobile phone, when the camera function is turned off and the control instruction is a turn-off instruction, the specific steps are as follows:

[0061] After receiving the shutdown instruction, the device driver of the camera can execute the shutdown instruction, thereby turning off the camera function.

[0062] That is to say, the solution provided in the embodiment of the present application can directly control the device driver through key driving, thereby avoiding the situation where only the target device function is turned off without turning off the underlying device.

[0063] In the mode switching method provided in the embodiment of the present application, in response to a trigger operation on a target button, a control instruction can be sent to a device driver of a target device corresponding to a target device function through a button driver of the target button, and the trigger operation is used to switch the working mode of the terminal device; the control instruction is executed through the device driver to control the target device function to be in a target state corresponding to the control instruction, and the target state includes an on state or a off state. Among them, by sending a control instruction to a device driver of a target device corresponding to a target device function through a button driver, the state of the target device can be controlled more quickly and directly, that is, the switching of the on state or the off state of the target device can be realized more quickly and directly, and by controlling the state of the target device, the accuracy of the control can also be guaranteed, and further, the mode switching of the terminal device can be realized more accurately, quickly and safely.

[0064] The following explains the implementation process of sending instructions and adjusting the target state in the mode switching method provided in the embodiment of the present application.

[0065] Figure 4 For another flow chart of the mode switching method provided in the embodiment of the present application, please refer to Figure 4 , sending a control instruction to a device driver of a target device corresponding to a target device function through a key driver of a target key, including:

[0066] S410: calling a function function of a device driver of a target device through a key driver of a target key, generating a control instruction including the function function, and then sending the control instruction to the device driver of the target device.

[0067] Among them, the functional function includes an opening function or a closing function.

[0068] Optionally, the key driver may call a function in the device driver, wherein the device driver may keep the function open during operation, thereby implementing the calling of the key driver.

[0069] It should be noted that the function function can be a function pre-configured in the device driver, and the function calling interface can be exposed so that the key driver can call the function function. The function function can include an on function or a off function, wherein executing the on function can turn on the target device, and correspondingly, executing the off function can turn off the target device.

[0070] In actual implementation, the device driver can be selected to execute the function alone or the device driver and the device abstraction layer can be selected to execute the function together according to actual needs, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0071] Optionally, in the process of executing a function call, the key driver of the target key can call the function function of the device driver of the target device, and then generate a corresponding control instruction. The control instruction may include relevant instructions for the device driver to execute the function function. Based on the received control instruction, the device driver can execute the function function, thereby controlling the target device to be in an on or off state.

[0072] The device driver executes the control instruction to control the target device function to the target state corresponding to the control instruction, including:

[0073] S420: Controlling the target device to be turned on or off by executing the operation corresponding to the function through the device driver, so that the target device function is in a target state.

[0074] It should be noted that when the device driver executes a functional function, it can perform operations corresponding to the functional function. For example, for an open function, it can perform operations such as powering the corresponding circuit; for a close function, it can perform operations such as powering off the corresponding circuit or clearing storage. No specific restrictions are made here.

[0075] After the device driver performs the corresponding operation, it can control the target device to be turned on or off.

[0076] It should be noted that if the target device function corresponds to a target device, the target state corresponding to the target device function can be determined based on the on or off state of the target device; accordingly, if the target device function corresponds to multiple target devices, the target state corresponding to the target device function can be comprehensively determined based on the on or off state of all the target devices.

[0077] For example, for the recording function, a camera and a microphone are required, which are two different target devices. If the recording function needs to be turned off, the device driver corresponding to the camera needs to be controlled to execute the operation corresponding to the closing function, and the device driver corresponding to the microphone needs to be controlled to execute the operation corresponding to the closing function. When the camera and the microphone are turned off, it can be determined that the recording function is in the off state.

[0078] In the mode switching method provided in the embodiment of the present application, the function function of the device driver of the target device can be called by the key driver of the target key, and after generating the control instruction including the function function, the control instruction is sent to the device driver of the target device; the device driver executes the operation corresponding to the function function to control the target device to be turned on or off, so that the function of the target device is in the target state. Among them, the method of calling the function function by the key driver and the device driver executing the function function can realize the control of the target device more accurately, quickly and directly, and accordingly, the mode switching of the terminal device can be realized more accurately, quickly and safely.

[0079] Optionally, before calling the function function of the device driver of the target device through the key driver of the target key and generating a control instruction including the function function, the method further includes: controlling the function function corresponding to the device driver to be in a callable state.

[0080] It should be noted that, in actual use, the corresponding function can be in a callable state by controlling the device drive. The callable function can be determined based on the current working state of the target device.

[0081] For example, when the target device corresponding to the device driver is in the off state, the corresponding on function can be controlled to be in a callable state; when the target device corresponding to the device driver is in the on state, the corresponding off function can be controlled to be in a callable state. Thus, the function call can be realized more quickly, and the function can be executed more quickly.

[0082] In the process of implementing a function in a callable state, the function can be made callable by exposing the corresponding interface. For example, when controlling the camera to turn off, the device driver corresponding to the camera can be made to expose the corresponding interface, so that the camera's shutdown function can be made callable.

[0083] In the mode switching method provided in the embodiment of the present application, the function function of the device driver of the target device can be called by the key driver of the target key, and before the control instruction including the function function is generated, the function function corresponding to the device driver is controlled to be in a callable state. By putting the function function in a callable state, the key driver can call the function function more quickly, directly and accurately, thereby improving the accuracy and efficiency of the device driver in executing the function function, and further, the function switching of the terminal device can be realized more quickly and accurately.

[0084] The following are different ways to implement the control of turning on or off the target device. One of the feasible ways is as follows: Figure 5 shown.

[0085] Figure 5 For another flow chart of the mode switching method provided in the embodiment of the present application, please refer to Figure 5 , controlling the target device to turn on or off by executing the operation corresponding to the function through the device driver, including: controlling the power of the target device to be closed or disconnected by executing the operation corresponding to the function through the device driver, wherein, if the function function is a closing function, the power of the target device is controlled to be disconnected; if the function function is an opening function, the power of the target device is controlled to be closed.

[0086] That is, before executing the function, the type of the function may be determined first, for example, by executing step S510: determining the type of the function.

[0087] Based on the different types of functional functions, different control methods can be adopted.

[0088] If the function function is a shutdown function, then execute step S520: control the target device to be powered off; if the function function is a startup function, then execute step S530: control the target device to be powered on.

[0089] It should be noted that the device driver can be connected to the power supply module that supplies power to each device through the software architecture. When the device driver executes the operation corresponding to the start function, it can send a power supply instruction to the power supply module that supplies power to the device, so that the power supply module supplies power to the target device, so that the target device can work normally; conversely, when the device driver executes the operation corresponding to the shutdown function, it can send a power-off instruction to the power supply module that supplies power to the device, so that the power supply module cuts off power to the target device, so that the target device cannot work normally due to lack of power.

[0090] For example, taking the photo function as an example, when the device driver of the camera executes the operation corresponding to the start function, the device driver can send a power start instruction to the power module that supplies power to the camera, so that the camera has a working voltage, and then the camera can be turned on, thereby turning on the photo function; when the device driver of the camera executes the operation corresponding to the close function, the device driver can send a power disconnect instruction to the power module that supplies power to the camera, so that the camera has no working voltage, and then the camera can be turned off, thereby turning off the photo function.

[0091] In the mode switching method provided in the embodiment of the present application, the operation corresponding to the function can be executed by the device driver to control the power of the target device to be turned on or off, wherein if the function function is a closing function, the power of the target device is controlled to be turned off; if the function function is an opening function, the power of the target device is controlled to be closed. When controlling a specific target device, the opening or closing of the target device can be more accurately achieved by turning the power on and off, thereby providing the accuracy of the terminal device mode switching.

[0092] Another implementation method for controlling the opening or closing of a target device is explained below. Figure 6 shown.

[0093] Figure 6 For another flow chart of the mode switching method provided in the embodiment of the present application, please refer to Figure 6, controlling the target device to be turned on or off by executing operations corresponding to the function through the device driver, including: controlling the state of the cache data of the target device by executing operations corresponding to the function through the device driver, wherein, if the function function is a closing function, the cache data of the target device is cleared; and if the function function is an opening function, the cache data of the target device is retained.

[0094] That is, before executing the function, the type of the function may be determined first, for example, by executing step S610: determining the type of the function.

[0095] Based on the different types of functional functions, different control methods can be adopted.

[0096] If the function function is a closing function, then execute step S620: clear the cache data of the target device; if the function function is an opening function, then execute step S630: retain the cache data of the target device.

[0097] It should be noted that the device driver can send cache clearing instructions to the cache of each device through the software architecture. When the device driver executes the operation corresponding to the opening function, it may not send a clearing instruction to the cache corresponding to the target device, so that the cache maintains the corresponding cache, so that the target device can work normally; conversely, when the device driver executes the operation corresponding to the closing function, it may send a clearing instruction to the cache corresponding to the target device, so that the cache clears the corresponding cache, so that the target device cannot work normally due to the lack of cache content.

[0098] For example, for the recording function, when the device driver of the microphone executes the operation corresponding to the opening function, the device driver will not send a clear instruction to the microphone's buffer, so that the microphone always maintains the corresponding cache data during the recording process, so that the microphone can transmit the recording normally, thereby turning on the recording function; when the device driver of the microphone executes the operation corresponding to the closing function, the device driver will send a clear instruction to the microphone's buffer, so that the cache data obtained by the microphone during the recording process is deleted, so that the microphone cannot transmit the recording normally, thereby turning off the recording function.

[0099] It should be noted that in the process of implementing cache clearing, in addition to sending a clear instruction to the cache to clear the cache, you can also use the method of cutting off the power to the cache to make the cache lose the current cache content, thereby achieving cache clearing. The specific method used can be set accordingly based on the type of cache, and is not limited to the above example.

[0100] In the mode switching method provided in the embodiment of the present application, the device driver can execute the operation corresponding to the function to control the state of the cache data of the target device, wherein if the function function is a shutdown function, the cache data of the target device is cleared; if the function function is an open function, the cache data of the target device is retained. When controlling a specific target device, the target device can be more accurately turned on or off by clearing the cache, thereby providing the accuracy of the terminal device mode switching.

[0101] Another implementation method for controlling the opening or closing of a target device is explained below. Figure 7 shown.

[0102] Figure 7 For another flow chart of the mode switching method provided in the embodiment of the present application, please refer to Figure 7 , controlling the target device to be turned on or off by executing operations corresponding to the function through the device driver, including: controlling the content of the cache data of the target device by executing operations corresponding to the function through the device driver, wherein, if the function function is a closing function, the cache data of the target device is replaced with preset cache data; if the function function is an opening function, the cache data of the target device is kept unchanged.

[0103] That is, before executing the function, the type of the function may be determined first, for example, by executing step S710: determining the type of the function.

[0104] Based on the different types of functional functions, different control methods can be adopted.

[0105] If the function function is a closed function, step S720 is executed: replacing the cache data of the target device with the preset cache data; if the function function is an open function, step S730 is executed: keeping the cache data of the target device unchanged.

[0106] It should be noted that the device driver can send cache replacement instructions to the cache of each device through the software architecture. When the device driver executes the operation corresponding to the opening function, the replacement instruction may not be sent to the cache corresponding to the target device, so that the cache maintains the corresponding cache, so that the target device can work normally; conversely, when the device driver executes the operation corresponding to the closing function, the replacement instruction may be sent to the cache corresponding to the target device, so that the cache clears the current cache data and replaces it with the preset cache data, so that the target device cannot work normally because it can only transmit the preset cache data.

[0107] For example, taking the photo function as an example, when the device driver of the camera executes the operation corresponding to the start function, the device driver will not send a replacement instruction to the camera's buffer, so that the camera always maintains the corresponding cache data during the photo-taking process, so that the camera can transmit the captured image normally, thereby turning on the photo-taking function; when the device driver of the camera executes the operation corresponding to the close function, the device driver will send a replacement instruction to the camera's buffer, such as replacing it with a black screen or other preset pixel interface, so that the cache data obtained by the camera during the photo-taking process is replaced, so that the camera cannot transmit the captured data normally, thereby turning off the photo-taking function.

[0108] It should be noted that the preset cache data may be data pre-stored in a cache or other storage device that can communicate with the cache. After the cache receives a replacement instruction, the data obtained by the cache may be replaced with the preset cache data. For example, taking the cache data of a camera as an example, the preset cache data may be picture data such as a black screen or a white screen; taking the cache data of a microphone as an example, the preset cache data may be voice data such as a preset voice.

[0109] In the mode switching method provided in the embodiment of the present application, the operation corresponding to the function can be executed by the device driver to control the content of the cache data of the target device, wherein if the function function is a closing function, the cache data of the target device is replaced with the preset cache data; if the function function is an opening function, the cache data of the target device is kept unchanged. When controlling a specific target device, the target device can be more accurately turned on or off by replacing the cache, thereby providing the accuracy of the terminal device mode switching.

[0110] For a target device function with multiple target devices, the on or off method adopted by each target device when executing the function function can be set based on actual needs, and can be the same or different, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0111] For example, taking the recording function as an example, the corresponding target devices include a camera and a microphone, wherein, in the process of turning off the camera, the device driver of the camera can send a replacement instruction to the cache of the camera to replace the cache of the picture transmitted by the camera with a preset picture, so that the cache data obtained by the camera during the recording process is replaced; the device driver of the microphone can send a clear instruction to the cache of the microphone to delete the cache of the sound transmitted by the microphone, so that the cache data obtained by the microphone during the recording process is deleted, thereby turning off the recording function.

[0112] Optionally, the method further includes: in response to a trigger operation on a target key, sending a target trigger event to a target abstraction layer through a key driver of the target key, and triggering a software switch corresponding to a target device function to be in a target state through the target trigger event.

[0113] Can be combined Figure 2 In the software architecture of the terminal device, after the terminal device responds to the trigger operation for the target button, in addition to controlling the button driver to execute steps S310-S320, the button driver can also send a target trigger event to the corresponding target abstraction layer, wherein the target abstraction layer can be a button abstraction layer, and the target trigger event can be an event to turn on or off the function of the target device. The event can be monitored through the mode switching service, and the software switch corresponding to the target device function can be triggered to be in the target state through the target trigger event.

[0114] For example: If the function of the target device is mute, that is, turning off the speaker, then in response to the trigger operation on the target button, a mute trigger event can be sent to the button abstraction layer through the button driver of the target button, and the mute trigger event can trigger the software switch corresponding to the speaker to be in the off state.

[0115] The terminal device can display the software status result through a display screen or a display light or other prompting device. For example, the current volume is displayed on the mobile phone screen. Since the speaker is turned off, the current volume is 0.

[0116] It should be noted that different target buttons can be configured for different target device functions. For example, multiple physical buttons can be set to correspond to mute / unmute, take a photo / stop taking a photo, record / stop recording, record a video / stop recording, etc.

[0117] The specific setting method can be set according to the specific structure of the terminal device, and is not limited here. For example, a corresponding target button can be set for each type of target device function, or multiple functions can be controlled based on the same target button.

[0118] If multiple functions are controlled based on the same target button, the specific target device function corresponding to the target button at the current moment can be pre-configured; or, the target button has multiple triggering modes, and different triggering modes can correspond to different target device functions. For example, if the target button is a rotation button, then when the target button is rotated to different angles, the corresponding target device function may also be different; if the target button is a press button, then based on the number of presses within a period of time, it can correspond to different target device functions, such as: pressing once within a certain period of time corresponds to recording off, pressing twice within a certain period of time corresponds to photo taking off, etc.

[0119] Based on the foregoing embodiments, an embodiment of the present application provides a mode switching device, which includes the modules included and the units included in the modules, and can be implemented by a processor; of course, it can also be implemented by a specific logic circuit; in the implementation process, the processor can be a central processing unit (CPU), a microprocessor (MPU), a digital signal processor (DSP) or a field programmable gate array (FPGA), etc.

[0127] Optionally, the execution module 820 is specifically used to control the content of the cache data of the target device by executing the operation corresponding to the function function through the device driver, wherein, if the function function is a closed function, the cache data of the target device is replaced with preset cache data; if the function function is an open function, the cache data of the target device is kept unchanged.
