[0015] Embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although certain embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments set forth herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided to provide a more thorough and complete understanding of the present disclosure. It should be understood that the drawings and embodiments of the present disclosure are only for exemplary purposes and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0016] In the description of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the term "including" and similar terms should be understood as open inclusion, that is, "including but not limited to". The term "based on" should be understood as "based at least in part on". The term "one embodiment" or "the embodiment" should be understood as "at least one embodiment". The term "some embodiments" should be understood as "at least some embodiments". The terms "first", "second", etc. may refer to different or the same objects. Other explicit and implicit definitions may also be included below.

[0017] Herein, unless explicitly stated, executing a step “in response to A” does not mean executing the step immediately after “A” but may include one or more intermediate steps.

[0018] It is understandable that the data involved in this technical solution (including but not limited to the data itself, the acquisition, use, storage or deletion of the data) shall comply with the requirements of relevant laws, regulations and relevant provisions.

[0019] It is understandable that before using the technical solutions disclosed in the various embodiments of the present disclosure, the types, scopes of use, usage scenarios, etc. of the information involved in the present disclosure should be informed to relevant users and their authorization should be obtained in an appropriate manner in accordance with relevant laws and regulations. The relevant users may include any type of right holders, such as individuals, enterprises, and groups.

[0020] For example, in response to receiving an active request from a user, a prompt message is sent to the relevant user to clearly prompt the relevant user that the operation requested to be performed will require obtaining and using the information of the relevant user, so that the relevant user can independently choose whether to provide information to software or hardware such as an electronic device, application, server or storage medium that executes the operation of the technical solution of the present disclosure based on the prompt message.

[0021] As an optional but non-limiting embodiment, in response to receiving an active request from a relevant user, the method of sending a prompt message to the relevant user may be, for example, a pop-up window, in which the prompt message may be presented in text form. In addition, the pop-up window may also carry a selection control for the user to select "agree" or "disagree" to provide information to the electronic device.

[0022] It is understandable that the above notification and the process of obtaining user authorization are merely illustrative and do not constitute a limitation on the embodiments of the present disclosure. Other methods that meet relevant laws and regulations may also be applied to the embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0023] As briefly mentioned above, electronic devices can present various interfaces that applications can provide through screens. With the development of software and hardware, in order to improve the user's visual experience, the resolution and refresh rate of electronic device screens are getting higher and higher. The increase in screen resolution and refresh rate will greatly increase the resources required for interface refresh, which may cause electronic devices to freeze in some scenarios due to excessive load. Traditionally, the screen resolution or refresh rate is often fixed to reduce the resources required for interface refresh to avoid freezes. Although this method can solve the freeze problem in some scenarios, it will also result in the inability to utilize the high resolution and high frame rate capabilities of the screen in most ordinary scenarios, affecting the user's visual experience.

[0024] To this end, an embodiment of the present disclosure proposes an improved scheme for managing the display properties of an electronic device. According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, the workload of a computing unit in an electronic device is obtained. It is determined whether the workload meets a predetermined range. If it is determined that the workload does not meet the predetermined range, the display properties of the electronic device are adjusted based on the workload. In this way, the display properties of the electronic device can be adjusted simply and conveniently based on the workload of the electronic device, which can effectively reduce the display jamming phenomenon and help improve the user's visual experience.

[0025] Example Environment

[0026] Figure 1 1 is a schematic diagram of an example environment 100 in which embodiments of the present disclosure can be implemented. Figure 1 As shown, the example environment 100 may include an electronic device 110. In the example environment 100, the electronic device 110 may be installed with an application 120. A user 140 may interact with the application 120 via the electronic device 110 and / or its attached device. The application 120 may be a social application, a content sharing application, an audio and video browsing application, a game application, etc., or any other appropriate application.

[0027] exist Figure 1 In the environment 100, if the application 120 is active, the electronic device 110 can present the interface 150 of the application 120. The interface 150 may include various interfaces that the application 120 can provide, such as a content creation interface, a content viewing interface, a conversation interface, a game interface, etc., or any other appropriate interface.

[0028] The electronic device 110 may include any computing system with computing capabilities, such as various computing devices / systems, terminal devices, server devices, etc. The terminal device may be any type of mobile terminal, fixed terminal or portable terminal, including a mobile phone, a desktop computer, a laptop computer, a notebook computer, a netbook computer, a tablet computer, a media computer, a multimedia tablet, a handheld computer, a portable game terminal, a VR / AR device, a personal communication system (PCS) device, a personal navigation device, a personal digital assistant (PDA), an audio / video player, a digital camera / camcorder, a positioning device, a television receiver, a radio broadcast receiver, an e-book device, a game device, or any combination of the foregoing, including accessories and peripherals of these devices or any combination thereof. The server device may include, for example, a computing system / server, such as a mainframe, an edge computing node, a computing device in a cloud environment, and the like.

[0029] In some embodiments, if the electronic device is an electronic device other than a server device, the electronic device 110 may also communicate with the server 130 to provide services for the application 120. The server 130 may be an independent physical server, or a server cluster or distributed system composed of multiple physical servers, or a cloud server that provides basic cloud computing services such as cloud services, cloud databases, cloud computing, cloud functions, cloud storage, network services, cloud communications, middleware services, domain name services, security services, content distribution networks, and big data and artificial intelligence platforms. The server 130 may include, for example, a computing system / server, such as a mainframe, an edge computing node, a computing device in a cloud environment, and the like. The server 130 may, for example, provide background services for the application 120 in the electronic device 110.

[0030] A communication connection may be established between the server 130 and the electronic device 110. The communication connection may be established in a wired manner or a wireless manner. The communication connection may include, but is not limited to, a Bluetooth connection, a mobile network connection, a Universal Serial Bus (USB) connection, a Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) connection, etc., and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited in this respect. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the server 130 and the electronic device 110 may implement signaling interaction through the communication connection between the two.

[0031] It should be understood that the structure and function of each element in the environment 100 are described for exemplary purposes only, and do not imply any limitation on the scope of the present disclosure. Some exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] Example process of screen refresh

[0033] Figure 2 FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of an example process 200 for screen refreshing. Figure 2 As shown, process 200 may include a processing process performed for each frame, and the process includes two threads, a main thread 202 and a rendering thread 204. In the main thread 202, a vertical synchronization (vsync) signal may trigger the screen refresh of each frame. After the refresh of the previous frame 210' is completed, the electronic device 110 may start to refresh the screen of the current frame 210 in response to receiving a new vertical synchronization signal.

[0034] In the following, only the current frame 210 is used as an example to describe the processing process for each frame. When processing the screen refresh of the current frame 210, the electronic device 110 can start the processing process 220 (for example, the DoFrame process) to draw the current frame 210. Specifically, the electronic device 110 can process the input 231 of the current frame, the animation 232 of the current frame and use the process 233 (for example, the DoTraversal process) to process the layout of the current frame in a traversal manner. Processing the layout of the current frame includes measuring the layout 241, determining the overall layout 242 (that is, calculating the position of the layout) and rendering and drawing 243 of the overall layout.

[0035] In some embodiments, when processing the rendering and drawing 243 of the overall layout, the main thread 202 can also issue tasks to the rendering thread to switch to the rendering thread 204 to perform drawing. In the rendering thread 204, the electronic device 110 can execute the drawing frame 250 (for example, implemented using the drawFrame process) in response to the tasks issued by the main thread 202. Similar to the screen refresh of different frames processed in the main thread 202, the rendering thread 204 can also execute each drawing frame in response to each task. For example, the rendering thread 204 can execute the last drawing frame 250' in response to the task issued by executing the previous frame 210'. In the drawing frame 250, the frame state 261 can be synchronized and the rendering and drawing 262 can be performed. Specifically, the frame data that has been drawn can be moved out of the buffer queue 271 (dequeue), the frame data can be drawn 272, and the frame data to be drawn can be moved into the buffer queue (queue) 273.

[0036] In some embodiments, the above process may be continuously performed according to the resolution and refresh rate of the electronic device 110. However, when the workload of the electronic device 110 is heavy (e.g., the central processing unit (CPU) and / or the graphics processing unit (GPU)), the execution of the above process will be delayed, resulting in poor visual effects such as freezes on the display of the electronic device 110.

[0037] Example Process

[0038] Figure 3 1 is a flowchart of a process 300 for managing display properties of an electronic device according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. The process 300 may be implemented at the electronic device 110. For ease of discussion, reference will be made to Figure 1 The process 300 is described with reference to the environment 100 of FIG.

[0039] In block 310, the electronic device 110 obtains the workload of a computing unit in the electronic device. In some embodiments, the computing unit here may include a central processing unit and / or a graphics processing unit. It is understood that the computing unit here may also include any appropriate computing unit, which is not limited in the present disclosure.

[0040] The workload of a computing unit may, for example, indicate the amount of computation of the computing unit. It is understood that the greater the workload, the greater the amount of processing of the computing unit, and the greater the amount of resources consumed by the computing unit to perform the computation. In order to avoid the jamming phenomenon caused by excessive workload, the electronic device 110 may obtain the workload of the computing unit to adjust the amount of computation of the electronic device based on the workload. The electronic device 110 may obtain the workload of the computing unit in real time, or may obtain the workload of the computing unit periodically or, for example, when a delay is detected. The present disclosure does not limit the timing of when the electronic device 110 obtains the workload.

[0041] Regarding the specific way of obtaining the workload, in some embodiments, the electronic device 110 can determine multiple metrics of the workload and determine the workload based on the multiple metrics. Multiple metrics, for example, may include but are not limited to the utilization rate, idle rate, saturation, response time, etc. of the computing unit. The electronic device 110 can, for example, directly read the state parameters of the computing unit to obtain the utilization rate and idle rate of the computing unit. It can be understood that the sum of the utilization rate and the idle rate is 100%. Exemplarily, the electronic device 110 can directly read the computing unit to determine that the current utilization rate of the computing unit is 20% and the idle rate is 80%. The electronic device 110 can, for example, determine the saturation of the computing unit based on the queue length of the tasks actually waiting to be processed by the computing unit, or the ratio between the queue length of the tasks actually waiting to be processed by the computing unit and the queue length of the tasks waiting to be processed that the computing unit can accommodate at most. Exemplarily, if the computing unit can accommodate up to 10 waiting tasks and there are actually 5 waiting tasks, the saturation is 5 / 10=0.5. The electronic device 110 can also directly measure the response time of the computing unit, etc.

[0042] After the electronic device 110 obtains multiple measurement indicators, it can determine the workload of the computing unit based on the following formula, for example.

[0043]

[0044]

[0045]

[0046]

[0047]

[0048] In the above formula, workload represents workload, usage represents usage rate, saturability represents saturation, satFactor represents saturation factor, time represents response time, timeFactor represents response time factor, and w1 and w2 represent different weights. The two factors here (i.e., saturation factor and response factor) can be two values ​​predetermined by relevant staff and input into the electronic device 110, or they can be two values ​​determined by the electronic device 110 itself (for example, they can be two values ​​determined by the electronic device 110 itself based on historical data). It can be understood that based on the above formula, the greater the usage rate, saturation and response time, the greater the workload. Similarly, the idle rate can be used to rewrite the above formula. At this time, the smaller the idle rate, the greater the workload.

[0049] By using the example implementation of the present disclosure, various indicators of the electronic device 110 can be mapped to a unified workload, so that it is easy to determine whether the display parameters of the electronic device 110 need to be modified.

[0050] In block 320, the electronic device 110 determines whether the workload meets a predetermined range. The predetermined range here may be a range predetermined by relevant staff and input into the electronic device 110, or a range determined by the electronic device 110 itself (for example, a range determined by the electronic device 110 itself based on historical data).

[0051] The predetermined range may indicate the maximum load value and the minimum load value under normal conditions of the workload. After the electronic device 110 obtains the workload of the computing unit, it may compare the value of the workload with the maximum load value and / or the minimum load value to determine whether the workload satisfies the predetermined range. Specifically, if the value of the workload is less than the minimum load value, or the value of the workload is greater than the maximum load value, the electronic device 110 may determine that the workload does not meet the predetermined range (i.e., is lower than the predetermined range or higher than the predetermined range). If the value of the workload is greater than or equal to the minimum load value and less than or equal to the maximum load value, the electronic device 110 may determine that the workload meets the predetermined range.

[0052] In block 330, the electronic device 110 adjusts the display attributes of the electronic device based on the workload in response to determining that the workload does not meet the predetermined range. The display attributes here may include, for example, the resolution and refresh rate of the electronic device 110. Similarly, it can be understood that the display attributes here may also include any appropriate display attributes, which is not limited in the present disclosure.

[0053] Regarding the specific manner in which the electronic device 110 adjusts the display attributes, in some embodiments, if it is determined that the workload is higher than a predetermined range, the electronic device 110 may reduce its own display attributes. Specifically, when the workload is higher than a predetermined range (i.e., the value of the workload is greater than the maximum load value), the electronic device 110 may further determine whether its own refresh frequency is higher than a predetermined condition. The predetermined condition here may, for example, indicate the maximum frequency of the refresh frequency under normal conditions.

[0054] The electronic device 110 can then reduce its own display properties when it is determined that the refresh frequency is higher than a predetermined condition (that is, the value of the refresh frequency is greater than the maximum frequency). In some embodiments, if it is determined that the refresh frequency is not higher than the predetermined condition, the electronic device 110 can also obtain the subsequent workload of the computing unit in itself. The electronic device 110 can determine whether the subsequent workload meets the predetermined range, and adjust the display properties of the computing unit based on the subsequent workload when it is determined that the subsequent workload does not meet the predetermined range. That is, if the refresh frequency is not higher than the predetermined condition, the electronic device 110 can determine that it is difficult to reduce the display jam of the computing unit by adjusting the display properties, and the electronic device 110 does not need to adjust the display properties. The electronic device 110 can re-execute the method described in boxes 310 to 330 for the workload obtained subsequently.

[0055] Similarly, in some embodiments, if it is determined that the workload is below a predetermined range, the electronic device 110 can improve its own display properties to provide better visual effects. In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 can, for example, also determine whether the value of its own refresh frequency is lower than the minimum frequency value under normal circumstances. The electronic device 110 can improve its own display properties when it is determined that the value of the refresh frequency is less than the minimum frequency value. If the value of the refresh frequency is higher than the minimum frequency value, the electronic device 110 can determine that there is no need to adjust the display properties. The electronic device 110 can re-execute the method described in boxes 310 to 330 for the workload obtained subsequently.

[0056] Regarding the specific manner of adjusting the display attribute, in some embodiments, the electronic device 110 can adjust the display attribute by adjusting the level of the display attribute. The level of the display attribute here can, for example, specify any one of the resolution, refresh rate, and combination of resolution and refresh rate of the electronic device 110. Tables 1 to 3 below respectively show examples of level-specified resolution, refresh rate, and combination of resolution and refresh rate:

[0057] Table 1 shows an example of the levels

[0058] grade Resolution 1 2240*1400 2 2048*1152 … … N 1280*960

[0059] Table 2 shows an example of the levels

[0060]

[0061]

[0062] Table 3 shows an example of the levels

[0063] grade Resolution Refresh rate (Hz) 1 2240*1400 144 2 2240*1400 120 3 2048*1152 144 4 2048*1152 120 … … … N 1280*960 60

[0064] In Tables 1 to 3, level 1 may represent the highest display level, and level N may represent the lowest display level. The electronic device 110 may, for example, determine the level to which the display attribute currently corresponds, and adjust the display attribute by raising / lowering the level corresponding to the display attribute. Specifically, if the workload is higher than a predetermined range, the electronic device 110 may adjust the display attribute by lowering the level of the display attribute, and if the workload is lower than a predetermined range, the electronic device 110 may adjust the display attribute by raising the level of the display attribute. Exemplarily, if the level of the display attribute specifies a combination of resolution and refresh rate, the electronic device 110 determines that its workload is higher than the predetermined range, and the level to which the display attribute currently corresponds is level 3 as shown in Table 3, the electronic device 110 may, for example, adjust the display attribute by adjusting the level of the display attribute to level 4 (i.e., lowering the level of the display attribute).

[0065] It can be understood that if the workload meets the predetermined range, the electronic device 110 can, for example, determine that the workload is normal and no adjustment is required. In some embodiments, if the currently acquired workload meets the predetermined range, the electronic device 110 can also acquire the subsequent workload of the computing unit and determine whether the subsequent workload meets the predetermined range. The electronic device 110 can adjust the display properties of the computing unit based on the subsequent workload when it is determined that the subsequent workload does not meet the predetermined range. That is, the electronic device 110 can continuously perform the above method for the workload acquired in real time, and adjust its own display properties so that the adjusted workload meets the predetermined range when the workload does not meet the predetermined range. Thus, the electronic device 110 can adjust its own display properties based on the result of determining whether the workload meets the predetermined range to adjust its own workload. It can be achieved that the workload is adjusted conveniently and quickly, thereby providing the user with better visual effects within the scope of the hardware capabilities of the electronic device 110.

[0066] The various steps of adjusting the display properties of an electronic device have been described separately. Figure 4 Describes the overall process of adjusting the display properties of electronic devices. Figure 4FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of a process 400 for managing display properties of an electronic device according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. The process 400 may be implemented at the electronic device 110. For ease of discussion, reference will be made to FIG. Figure 1 The process 400 is described with reference to the environment 100 of FIG.

[0067] At block 410, the electronic device 110 may monitor the usage, saturation, and response time of a central processing unit (CPU). At block 420, the electronic device 110 may monitor the usage, saturation, and response time of a graphics processing unit (GPU).

[0068] In block 430, the electronic device 110 may determine the workload of the computing unit. The computing unit includes a CPU and a GPU. The electronic device 110 may determine the workload of the computing unit based on the acquired CPU and GPU usage, saturation, and task response time, for example.

[0069] In box 440, the electronic device 110 determines whether the current workload is within a predetermined range. The electronic device 110 may, for example, obtain the maximum load and the minimum load indicated by the predetermined range. The electronic device 110 may then compare the value of the current workload with the maximum load and / or the minimum load to determine whether the current workload is within a predetermined normal range. If the current workload exceeds the predetermined range, the electronic device 110 may execute box 450, and if the current workload is lower than the predetermined range, the electronic device 110 may execute box 460. If the current workload is within a predetermined normal range (that is, the current load meets the predetermined load), the electronic device 110 may continue to monitor the CPU and GPU usage, saturation, and response time of the task, and repeat the process shown in process 400.

[0070] In block 450, the electronic device 110 may determine whether there is a frequent UI refresh at present. That is, the electronic device 110 may determine whether the current refresh frequency is higher than a predetermined refresh frequency. The predetermined refresh frequency may be pre-entered by the user or determined by the electronic device 110 based on historical data.

[0071] If the current refresh frequency is not higher than the predetermined refresh frequency, the electronic device 110 can determine that there is no frequent UI refresh at present. The electronic device 110 can also continue to monitor the CPU and GPU usage, saturation and task response time, and repeat the process shown in process 400.

[0072] If the current refresh rate is higher than the predetermined refresh rate, the electronic device 110 may determine that there is frequent UI refresh at present, and the electronic device 110 may also execute box 460. In box 460, the electronic device 110 may adjust the frame rate and resolution level in combination with the workload of the computing unit and the current frame rate (i.e., refresh rate) and resolution level. Exemplarily, when the current workload exceeds the predetermined range and the current refresh rate is higher than the predetermined refresh rate, the electronic device 110 may reduce the workload of the computing unit by lowering the frame rate and resolution level.

[0073] In summary, according to the embodiments of the present disclosure, the display properties of an electronic device can be simply and conveniently adjusted based on the workload of the electronic device, which can effectively alleviate the occurrence of the lag phenomenon and help improve the user's visual experience.
