Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments in the present application belong to the scope of protection of this application.

[0041] The display method provided in the embodiment of the present application is described in detail below through specific embodiments and their application scenarios in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0042] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flow chart of an embodiment of a method for controlling a camera of the present application.

[0043] The embodiment of the present application provides a camera control method, which is applied to an electronic device including a camera. For ease of description, the following embodiments are described with a camera as the execution subject, and the camera has a data processing function and a network communication function. In this embodiment, the camera control method includes the following steps:

[0044] Step S101, obtaining a target scene and a target working mode corresponding to a camera; wherein the target scene is determined based on at least one of the following: an energy state of the camera, a working time of the camera, and a captured image of the camera; and the target working mode is a low power working mode or a normal working mode;

[0045] Step S102, determining a target working state according to the target scenario and the target working mode;

[0046] Step S103, controlling the camera to operate in the target operating state.

[0047] The embodiment of the present application obtains the target scene and target working mode corresponding to the camera; wherein the target scene is determined based on at least one of the following: the energy state of the camera, the working time of the camera and the collection picture of the camera; the target working mode is a low power working mode or a normal working mode; then, according to the target scene and the target working mode, the target working state is determined; finally, the camera is controlled to work in the target working state. In this way, the working state of the camera is controlled in real time through the target scene and the target working mode, which solves the problem that the existing camera technology only switches the working state of the camera according to the time difference, resulting in high power consumption of the camera. The present application saves the power consumption of the camera as much as possible without affecting the effect. At the same time, through at least one of the energy state of the camera, the working time of the camera, and the collection picture of the camera, combined with the comprehensive judgment of the target working mode, the possible state conditions are refined, the accuracy of the control method is improved, and at the same time, the power consumption of irrelevant scenes is controlled.

[0048] In some embodiments, in the above step S101, the real-time scene data and working mode data of the camera are first obtained, and the scene data includes at least one of the energy state, working time and collected images of the camera.

[0049] In this embodiment, it should be noted that the target scene may be a specific working condition or environment determined by the camera according to its energy state, working environment, and captured images. The target working mode may be one of two working modes of the camera, including a low power working mode and a normal working mode. The energy state may be characterized by a power level and / or a charging state.

[0050] In some embodiments, in the above step S102, based on the acquired data, the camera determines its target scene and target working mode, and according to the target scene and target working mode, the camera determines its target working state.

[0051] It should be noted that, when the target working mode is the normal working mode, the detection result of the target object can be further obtained, and then the target working state can be determined according to the target scene and the target working mode.

[0052] In the above step S103, finally, the camera works according to the determined target working state to achieve the effect of controlling power consumption.

[0053] In some embodiments, the target working state described above may include but is not limited to at least one of the following: the resolution of the camera; the frame rate of the camera; the working state of the communication module of the camera; the working state of the infrared light board of the camera.

[0054] In this embodiment, the target working state includes at least one of the resolution of the camera, the frame rate of the camera, the working state of the communication module of the camera, and the working state of the infrared light board of the camera.

[0055] It should be noted that the resolution can be the clarity of the image that the camera can capture, usually in pixels. The higher the resolution, the richer the details of the image, but it also means a higher amount of data and possibly higher power consumption. The frame rate can be the number of image frames that the camera can capture and transmit per second, usually expressed in frames per second. The higher the frame rate, the smoother the video, but it also increases the amount of data and power consumption. The working status of the communication module of the camera can be the working status of the 4G module in the camera. The infrared light board is a device used by the camera to assist imaging in low-light or no-light environments. The working status can be whether the device is turned on and its activity intensity.

[0056] The target scenario is determined based on the energy state; in some embodiments, the above-mentioned determining the target working state according to the target scenario and the target working mode includes:

[0057] When the target scene is a first scene and the target working mode is a first working mode, determining the target working state to be a first working state; wherein the energy state of the first scene is a first energy state;

[0058] When the target scene is the second scene and the target operating mode is the first operating mode, the target operating state is determined to be the second operating state; wherein the energy state of the second scene is the second energy state, and the second energy state is lower than the first energy state; the power consumption of the camera in the second operating state is lower than the power consumption of the camera in the first operating state.

[0059] In this embodiment, the camera first monitors its current energy state. Based on the monitored energy state, the camera determines whether it is currently in the first scene or the second scene. When the camera is in the same working mode, if the camera is in the first scene (first energy state), the target working state is determined to be the first working state; if the camera is in the second scene (second energy state), the target working state is determined to be the second working state. The camera automatically adjusts its working parameters, such as resolution, frame rate, working state of the communication module, working state of the infrared light board, etc., according to the determined working state to adapt to the current energy state. The second energy state is less than the first energy state, and in the second working state, the power consumption of the camera is lower than that of the first working state, thereby achieving energy-saving operation when the power is insufficient. In this way, by adjusting the working state according to the energy state, the camera can achieve dynamic management of power consumption. In different energy states, the camera adopts different working configurations to ensure that energy consumption is minimized while maintaining monitoring quality.

[0060] In this embodiment, it should be noted that the first scene may be a working condition or environment determined based on the first energy state of the camera. The first working mode may be a low-power working mode or a normal working mode. The first energy state may be a state in which the power level of the camera is high or charging, which is sufficient to support a working mode of power consumption corresponding to the energy state. The second scene may be a working condition or environment based on the second energy state of the camera. The second energy state may be a power state of the camera that is lower than the first energy state, and energy-saving measures need to be taken to extend the use time. The first working state may be the working configuration of the camera in the first energy state, which may include adjusting the resolution, frame rate, working state of the 4G module, working state of the infrared light board, etc., to provide the best monitoring effect while reducing power consumption. The second working state may be the working configuration of the camera in the second energy state, which may include adjusting the resolution, frame rate, working state of the 4G module, working state of the infrared light board, etc., to reduce power consumption.

[0061] In some embodiments, if the target scene is determined based on the energy state and the working time, then the difference in the target working state determined according to the target scene and the target working mode is that the working state of the infrared light board is different. The working state of the infrared light board is determined according to the actual shooting needs, for example, during the day, the infrared light board is turned off; at night, the infrared light board is flashing or turned on.

[0062] The target scene is determined based on the energy state and the acquisition screen. In some embodiments, the above-mentioned determining the target working state according to the target scene and the target working mode includes:

[0063] When the target scene is the third scene and the target working mode is the second working mode, determining that the target working state is the third working state; wherein the energy state of the third scene is the third energy state, the acquisition screen is the first screen, and the movement amplitude of the object in the first screen is within the first range;

[0064] When the target scene is the fourth scene and the target working mode is the second working mode, the target working state is determined to be the fourth working state; wherein the energy state of the fourth scene is the third energy state, the captured screen is the second screen, the movement amplitude of the object in the second screen is within a second range, and the maximum value of the second range is less than the minimum value of the first range; the power consumption of the camera in the fourth working state is lower than the power consumption of the camera in the third working state.

[0065] In this embodiment, the camera first monitors its current energy state and analyzes the movement amplitude of the object in the collected picture to determine the current picture type (first picture or second picture). If the camera collects the first picture (the movement amplitude of the object is within the first range), it is determined that the current scene is the third scene. If the camera collects the second picture (the movement amplitude of the object is within the second range), it is determined that the current scene is the fourth scene. When the camera is in the same working mode, if the camera is in the third scene, the target working state is determined to be the third working state, and the camera operates in a power consumption mode corresponding to the current energy state and the current collected picture to capture dynamic pictures. If the camera is in the fourth scene, the target working state is determined to be the fourth working state, and the camera operates in a power consumption mode lower than the third working state to adapt to the situation where the object moves less. In the fourth working state, the power consumption of the camera is lower than that of the third working state. Furthermore, the camera automatically adjusts its working parameters, such as resolution, frame rate, working state of the communication module, working state of the infrared light board, etc., according to the determined working state to adapt to the current energy state and the collected picture. In this way, the camera can dynamically adjust the working state according to the energy state and the movement amplitude of the object in the collected picture to adapt to different monitoring scenes and optimize power consumption. This adaptive adjustment helps to reduce unnecessary energy consumption while maintaining monitoring quality.

[0066] In this embodiment, it should be noted that the third scene may be a working condition or environment in which the camera is in a specific energy state and the movement amplitude of the object in the captured picture is within a certain range. The third energy state may be the power level or charging state of the camera, which is used to determine the specific conditions of the third scene. The second working mode may be a low power consumption mode or a normal working mode, and the second working mode may be the same as or different from the first working mode. The third working state may be the working configuration of the camera in the third scene and the second working mode. The fourth scene may be a working condition or environment in which the camera is in the same energy state, but the movement amplitude of the object in the captured picture is smaller. The fourth working state may be the working configuration of the camera in the fourth scene and the second working mode, and may include a lower power consumption setting to adapt to the situation where the object movement amplitude is smaller. The first picture may be a picture captured by the camera in the third scene, in which the movement amplitude of the object is within the first range. The second picture may be a picture captured by the camera in the fourth scene, in which the movement amplitude of the object is within the second range, and the maximum value of the second range is less than the minimum value of the first range. The first range may be the movement amplitude of the object in the set camera capture picture, which may be divided into static, small movement, and large movement. The second range may be the movement amplitude of the object in the image captured by the set camera, which may be divided into stationary, small movement, and large movement. The maximum value of the second range is smaller than the minimum value of the first range.

[0067] In some implementations, the above-mentioned determining the target working state according to the target scenario and the target working mode includes:

[0068] When the target scene is the fifth scene and the target working mode is the normal working mode, determining the target working state to be the fifth working state;

[0069] When the target scene is the fifth scene and the target working mode is the low power consumption working mode, the target working state is determined to be the sixth working state; wherein the power consumption of the camera in the sixth working state is lower than the power consumption of the camera in the fifth working state.

[0070] In this embodiment, the camera first identifies whether the current target scene is the fifth scene, and determines whether the target working mode selected by the user is a normal working mode or a low power working mode. If the target working mode is the normal working mode, the target working state is determined to be the fifth working state. If the target working mode is the low power working mode, the target working state is determined to be the sixth working state. The camera automatically adjusts its working parameters, such as resolution, frame rate, working state of the communication module, working state of the infrared light board, etc., according to the determined working state to adapt to the current working mode. In the sixth working state, the power consumption of the camera is lower than that of the fifth working state, achieving energy-saving operation in the low power mode. In this way, the camera can optimize power consumption while maintaining the monitoring quality by adjusting the working state according to the working mode. When high-quality monitoring is not required, switching to low power mode can reduce energy consumption, and when high-quality monitoring is required, switching back to the normal working mode.

[0071] In this embodiment, it should be noted that the fifth scene can be the working environment of the camera under specific conditions, and this condition can include specific energy states, working hours or captured images, etc. The low-power working mode can be a suspend to RAM state (Suspend to RAM, STR). When the camera is in the STR state, the camera will store the working status data in the memory to ensure that the data is not lost. At this time, the power supply continues to power the most necessary devices such as the memory, and the power consumption of the camera is extremely low. The normal working mode can be a non-STR state, providing monitoring with higher performance than the STR state, which can be achieved by adjusting the resolution, etc. The fifth working state can be the working state when the camera is running in the normal working mode in the fifth scene, providing monitoring. The sixth working state can be the working state when the camera is running in the low-power working mode in the fifth scene, reducing power consumption to extend battery life or reduce energy consumption.

[0072] In some implementations, determining the target working state according to the target scenario and the target working mode includes:

[0073] When the target working mode is a normal working mode, obtaining a detection result of the camera on the target object; wherein the detection result is that the target object is detected or not detected; and the target object is an object that can be moved;

[0074] A target working state is determined according to the target scene and the detection result.

[0075] In this embodiment, the camera first identifies whether the current target working mode is a normal working mode. In the normal working mode, the camera detects the target object (the target object is an object in a movable position) and obtains the detection result. The target scene and the detection result are analyzed, and based on the analysis result, the camera determines the final working state to adapt to the current monitoring needs and energy conditions. In this way, the camera can dynamically adjust the working state according to the target working mode and the detection result of the target object, thereby realizing a more intelligent and responsive monitoring system. In addition, by detecting the presence or absence of the target object, the camera can decide whether the working state needs to be adjusted. This adjustment helps to optimize resource utilization and reduce power consumption while ensuring the quality of monitoring.

[0076] In this embodiment, it should be noted that the target object may be an object that can move within the monitoring range of the camera, such as a vehicle, a pedestrian, a non-motor vehicle, an animal, etc. The detection result may be the detection result of the target object by the camera, including detecting the target object or not detecting the target object.

[0077] In some implementations, the target working state may be determined based on the detection result of this embodiment.

[0078] In other implementations, the target working state may be determined through the settings of the mobile phone software.

[0079] In some implementations, the above-mentioned determining the target working state according to the target scene and the detection result includes:

[0080] When the target scene is the sixth scene and the detection result is that the target object is detected, determining that the target working state is the seventh working state;

[0081] When the target scene is the sixth scene and the detection result is that the target object is not detected, the target working state is determined to be the eighth working state; wherein the power consumption of the camera in the eighth working state is lower than the power consumption of the camera in the eighth working state.

[0082] In this embodiment, the camera first identifies whether the current target scene is the sixth scene, and detects whether there is a target object. If the detection result is "target object detected", the next step is to determine the seventh working state, at which time the camera may need to increase the resolution, increase the frame rate, or start other monitoring functions. If the detection result is "target object not detected", the next step is to determine the eighth working state, at which time the camera can reduce the resolution, reduce the frame rate, or turn off some unnecessary monitoring functions to reduce power consumption. In the eighth working state, the power consumption of the camera is lower than that of the seventh working state, because the eighth working state is designed to save energy when the target object is not detected. In this way, the camera can adjust its working state according to whether the target object is detected, thereby realizing intelligent power consumption management. When the target object is detected, the camera needs higher performance to monitor, and when the target object is not detected, the camera can reduce power consumption and save energy. This adjustment of the working state enables the camera to adapt to different monitoring scenarios, ensuring that sufficient monitoring capabilities are provided when needed, and reducing energy consumption when not needed.

[0083] In this embodiment, it should be noted that the sixth scene may be a working environment of the camera under specific conditions, and the conditions may include specific energy states, working hours, or captured images. The seventh working state may be a working state that the camera enters when a target object is detected. In this state, the camera operates at a higher performance to ensure that the target object can be effectively monitored. The eighth working state may be a working state that the camera enters when the target object is not detected, and in this state the camera reduces performance to reduce power consumption.

[0084] In some embodiments, the content of the above embodiment can be represented by and is not limited to Table 1. Among them, the camera is a solar camera, and the target scene is divided into energy state, working time, and acquisition picture. Specifically, the energy state includes charging and power level. The charging time period is 9:00-15:00, and the power level is divided into power>=95%, 95%>power>=60%, 60%>power>=20%, 20%>power>=5%, and power<5%. The working time is divided into day and night. The daytime time period is 6:00-14:00, and the night time period is 14:00-00:00, 00:00-6:00. The acquisition picture is divided into static, small movement and large movement according to the movement amplitude. Static means that the picture is still, small movement means slight changes, and large movement means that a moving body event is detected. Among them, the target working mode is divided into STR state (low power consumption state) and non-STR state (normal working state). Specifically, in the non-STR state, the presence of pedestrians, vehicles, non-motor vehicles, animals, and the awakening of mobile phone software in the scene is classified as an event, and the absence of pedestrians, vehicles, non-motor vehicles, animals, and the awakening of mobile phone software is classified as no event. The working state is controlled by adjusting the resolution of the camera, the frame rate of the camera, the working state of the camera's communication module (4G module, hereinafter referred to as 4G), and the working state of the camera's infrared light board.

[0085] Among them, the camera can only be in one of the non-STR state and the STR state. The conversion between the STR state and the non-STR state can be done in the following two ways: First, the conversion from the STR state to the non-STR state can be due to external events or user operations (which can include events and no events), which requires the device to wake up from the low-power state and start normal working state operation. The conversion from the non-STR state to the STR state can be due to the device not detecting activity for a period of time, automatically entering the low-power mode to save energy, or the user actively setting the device to standby mode. Second, the conversion between the STR state and the non-STR state can be when the storage space is full, to avoid data overflow and loss. The x in the table means that this situation does not exist. Table 1 is as follows:
