Abstract

According to the mobile terminal positioning and searching method and device, the storage medium and the mobile terminal provided by the invention, a monitoring-response dual-mode positioning system is established by utilizing the residual electric quantity pre-stored in the mobile terminal, and the searching demand of a user can still be responded under the conditions that the mobile terminal is shut down and the electric quantity is exhausted. Specifically, when the terminal in the power-off state monitors that a user triggers a preset instruction through the pre-stored residual electric quantity, the current environment and / or the current state where the terminal is located can be determined, and according to the detected current environment and / or the current state, output equipment such as a vibration motor and a buzzer can be flexibly selected, so that the user experience is improved. According to the mobile terminal, the corresponding prompt signal is sent to a user through a proper signal output mode, such as vibration, buzzing or a combination thereof, so that the user can accurately receive the prompt signal in various environments, and the lost mobile terminal can be quickly found. Therefore, the cost can be saved, and the risk that the patch is lost or falls off can be avoided.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of mobile terminal technology, and in particular to a method, apparatus, storage medium and mobile terminal for locating and searching a mobile terminal. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, mobile devices have become indispensable in daily life, such as smartphones, tablets, smartwatches, and earphones. However, when a mobile device runs out of power and shuts down automatically, and is forgotten in a corner or misplaced, traditional positioning functions (such as GPS and Bluetooth) will completely fail, making it impossible for users to locate the mobile device through conventional means (such as calling or using a find-a-home app). Furthermore, the difficulty of finding the mobile device increases significantly when it is in a dark environment or hidden in a crevice.

[0003] Existing technologies use tools such as small Bluetooth trackers and electronic anti-loss tags to find and locate lost or misplaced mobile devices. However, these solutions mainly rely on external hardware modules, which users need to carry, attach, and purchase separately. This not only increases costs but also carries the risk of the tags being lost or falling off. Summary of the Invention

Specifically, this application can, while the terminal is powered off, listen for a user triggering a preset command using the pre-stored residual power. It then determines the current environment and / or current state of the terminal and, based on the detected environment and / or current state, flexibly selects output devices such as a vibration motor or buzzer, and appropriate signal output modes, such as vibration, buzzer, or a combination thereof, to send corresponding prompt signals to the user. This ensures that the user can accurately receive the prompt signals in various environments, thereby quickly locating the lost mobile terminal.

[0063] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the internal structure of a mobile terminal provided in an embodiment of this application. Detailed Implementation

[0064] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0065] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a mobile terminal location locator method provided in an embodiment of this application; this application provides a mobile terminal location locator method, which may include:

[0066] S110: When the terminal, which is in a powered-off state, detects a user triggering a preset command through the pre-stored residual power, it determines the current environment and / or current state of the terminal.

[0067] In this step, when the terminal is powered off and forgotten by the user in a corner or placed in an inaccessible location, it can listen for sound wave commands triggered by the user using the pre-stored residual power. When the sound wave command is determined to be a preset command, the current environment and / or current state of the terminal is detected so as to help the user locate the terminal based on the current environment and / or current state.

[0068] In this context, "terminal" refers to mobile terminal devices such as mobile phones, tablets, smartwatches, or headphones. These devices can continue to listen for user commands even when powered off, thanks to pre-stored residual battery power. The preset command in this application refers to a user-defined specific sound wave signal, which can be a specific audio clip, melody, or frequency combination. When a user realizes their mobile terminal is lost and wishes to locate it using the method provided in this application, they can activate the mobile terminal's response mechanism by issuing this preset command. To ensure the uniqueness and accuracy of the command, users can record or select a preset command upon first use of this function and reuse it in subsequent searches. Thus, when the mobile terminal hears the command, it can determine that the search request was triggered by a legitimate user and proceed with the subsequent location and search process.

[0069] In this embodiment, once the terminal detects a preset command, the device can activate the corresponding sensors to detect its environment or state, such as whether it is in a dark environment, whether it is lying flat or suspended in the air. This design allows users to easily find the lost device by triggering a prompt signal through a specific command, even when the device is completely powered off and the battery is depleted.

[0070] Furthermore, this application can employ various sensor technologies, including but not limited to light sensors, accelerometers, and magnetic sensors, to comprehensively perceive environmental and / or status information surrounding the device when determining the current environment and / or status of the terminal. For example, a light sensor can be used to detect whether the device is in a dark environment, which is particularly important for locating the device in low-light conditions. Accelerometers and magnetic sensors can be used to detect the device's position and orientation, such as whether it is flat, tilted, or suspended, which is very useful for determining whether the device is placed on a flat surface. Through the data collected by these sensors, this application can provide users with more accurate and reliable location and search information.

[0071] S120: Based on the current environment and / or current status, issue a corresponding prompt signal to the user so that the user can locate this terminal according to the prompt signal.

[0072] In this step, after the S110 listens for the user triggering a preset command and determines the current environment and / or current state of the terminal, it can send a corresponding prompt signal to the user based on the current environment and / or current state. After receiving the prompt signal, the user can locate and find the terminal based on the prompt signal.

[0073] Specifically, this application can employ different prompting methods depending on the environment and state when issuing a prompt signal. For example, in a well-lit environment, the vibration motor can be activated to output a vibration prompt signal, as users are more likely to notice the tactile vibration. In a dark environment, activating the buzzer to output an audible prompt signal may be more effective, as sound travels farther in darkness and is more easily perceived by the user. Furthermore, when the device is in complex or extreme environments, the vibration motor and buzzer can be activated alternately to output prompt signals, or an overclocked vibration mode can be triggered using emergency reserve power, and sound wave focusing technology can be used to output prompt signals, ensuring that users can accurately receive prompt signals under various extreme conditions. This design not only improves the accuracy and reliability of location tracking but also significantly enhances the user experience.

[0074] In the above embodiments, this application utilizes the residual power stored in the mobile terminal to establish a "listen-response" dual-mode positioning system. Even when the mobile terminal is powered off and its power is depleted, it can still respond to the user's search needs. Specifically, when the terminal, in its powered-off state, detects a user triggering a preset command using the pre-stored residual power, it determines the current environment and / or current state of the terminal. Based on the detected environment and / or current state, it flexibly selects output devices such as a vibration motor or buzzer, and appropriate signal output modes, such as vibration, buzzer, or a combination thereof, to send corresponding prompt signals to the user. This ensures that the user can accurately receive the prompt signals in various environments, thereby quickly locating the lost mobile terminal. This saves the cost of purchasing external hardware modules and avoids the risk of patch loss or detachment.

[0075] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the process for detecting the remaining battery power of the terminal provided in this application embodiment; in S110, before the terminal in the powered-off state detects a preset command triggered by the user through the pre-stored remaining battery power, the process further includes:

[0076] S101: Real-time detection of whether the remaining battery power of this terminal is not greater than the preset battery power threshold.

[0077] S102: If so, the remaining power is stored in a dedicated capacitor bank, and the residual power stored in the dedicated capacitor bank is used to listen for whether the user triggers a sound wave command.

[0078] S103: Otherwise, return to step S101.

[0079] In this embodiment, to ensure the ability to listen to and respond to user search commands when the mobile terminal is powered off and its battery is nearly depleted, an intelligent power management mechanism is designed. Specifically, when the system detects that the remaining battery power of the terminal is not greater than a preset power threshold, it can trigger a hardware-level power channel switch to store the remaining power in a dedicated capacitor bank. This dedicated capacitor bank refers to an independent charging and discharging capacitor bank, which can be controlled by a power management chip. It has the characteristics of efficient energy storage and stable power supply, and can continuously provide the necessary power support for the listening function when the device is powered off. The preset power threshold can be flexibly set according to the device's battery capacity, user habits, and actual scenario requirements to ensure that sufficient power is still reserved for the listening function when the battery is about to run out.

[0080] By utilizing the residual power stored in a dedicated capacitor bank, this terminal can continue to monitor whether the user has triggered a preset acoustic command. Once the command is detected, the system will immediately initiate the subsequent location search process. However, if the residual power is still greater than a preset power threshold, the system will continue to monitor power changes without taking any further action, ensuring that resources are not wasted unnecessarily when the power is sufficient. This design ensures that the system can respond to the user's search needs in critical moments while avoiding unnecessary power waste and extending the overall lifespan of the device.

[0081] In one embodiment, S102, which involves monitoring whether the user triggers an acoustic command by using the residual charge stored in the dedicated capacitor bank, may include:

[0082] S1021: Obtain a preset monitoring strategy, the monitoring strategy including a monitoring component and a monitoring period.

[0083] S1022: Use the residual charge stored in the dedicated capacitor bank to start the monitoring component to listen for whether the user triggers a sound wave command during the monitoring period.

[0084] In this embodiment, to improve efficiency and save power when monitoring whether the user has triggered a sound wave command, an intelligent monitoring strategy is adopted. Specifically, the system first obtains a preset monitoring strategy, which specifies in detail the selection of monitoring components and the setting of the monitoring period. The monitoring components can be dedicated hardware modules for sound wave reception, such as microphones or sound wave sensors, or microphones + low-pass filters, which can efficiently and accurately capture the sound wave commands issued by the user. The monitoring period refers to the time interval between when the system starts the monitoring components to monitor sound waves. This interval can be flexibly adjusted according to the actual situation to maximize power saving while ensuring the monitoring effect.

[0085] After activating the monitoring component using the residual power stored in the dedicated capacitor bank, the system can monitor sound wave commands according to a preset monitoring cycle. If the monitoring component captures a sound wave signal that matches the preset command within a certain monitoring cycle, the system will immediately confirm that the sound wave signal is a search command triggered by the user and initiate the subsequent location search process. If the monitoring component does not capture any sound wave signal within the monitoring cycle, or if the captured sound wave signal does not match the preset command, the system will continue to monitor according to the monitoring cycle until a valid search command is detected, or the residual power is exhausted (≥72 hours of standby).

[0086] This intelligent monitoring strategy not only improves the accuracy and efficiency of the system in responding to user search requests, but also effectively saves power and extends the monitoring time of the device when it is powered off.

[0087] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the process of determining the current environment and / or current state of the terminal provided in this application embodiment; S110, when the terminal in the power-off state detects a user triggering a preset command through pre-stored residual power, determining the current environment and / or current state of the terminal may include:

[0088] S111: When this terminal, which is in the off state, detects a user-triggered sound wave command as a preset command through the pre-stored residual power, it obtains the preset signal triggering conditions.

[0089] S112: Activate the corresponding detection component according to the signal triggering conditions to detect the current environment and / or current state of this terminal.

[0090] In this embodiment, after confirming that the detected sound wave command is a preset command triggered by the user, the system does not immediately output a prompt signal. Instead, it first acquires preset signal triggering conditions. These signal triggering conditions are set based on the user's prediction of the search environment and actual needs. They specify in detail which detection components should be activated and what signal output mode should be used in different environments and states. For example, a user may prefer to locate the device through vibration prompts in a well-lit environment, while preferring to find the device through sound prompts in a dark environment. These signal triggering conditions ensure that the system can flexibly select the most appropriate prompting method according to the actual situation, thereby improving the accuracy and efficiency of location and search.

[0091] Based on preset signal triggering conditions, the system can activate corresponding detection components to detect the current environment and / or current state of the terminal. These detection components can be light sensors, accelerometers, magnetometers, etc., which can sense the environmental and status information around the device in real time and feed this information back to the system. After comprehensively analyzing this information, the system can determine the most appropriate prompting method and signal output mode, and then issue corresponding prompt signals to the user.

[0092] In one embodiment, S112, which involves activating a corresponding detection component to detect the current environment and / or current state of the terminal based on the signal triggering condition, may include:

[0093] S1121: When the signal triggering condition is that the terminal is in a dark environment, the first sensor is activated to detect the current environment of the terminal.

[0094] S120 may include issuing a corresponding prompt signal to the user based on the current environment and / or the current state, which may include:

[0095] S121: Compare the current environment with the preset ambient light threshold.

[0096] S122: If the current ambient light level is greater than the preset ambient light threshold, then start the vibration motor to output a prompt signal.

[0097] S123: If the current ambient light level is not greater than the preset ambient light threshold, then the buzzer is activated to output a prompt signal.

[0098] In this embodiment, when the signal trigger condition is that the terminal is in a dark environment, a corresponding prompt signal can be triggered by detecting the current environment. At this time, the system can activate the ambient light sensor as the first sensor to detect the light intensity of the current environment. The ambient light sensor can sense the light level of the surrounding environment in real time and feed the collected light data back to the system. The system will then compare the collected current environment with a preset ambient light threshold to determine whether the current environment is indeed in a dark state.

[0099] If the ambient light intensity exceeds a preset ambient light threshold (i.e., the environment is relatively bright), the system will determine that sound alerts are not suitable, as sound is easily ignored or masked in bright environments. In this case, the system will activate a vibration motor as an output device to send a notification signal to the user through vibration, such as continuous high-frequency vibration for 10 seconds. Vibration alerts are particularly effective in well-lit environments, as users can directly perceive the device's presence through touch, allowing for quick location and retrieval of the lost mobile device.

[0100] Conversely, if the ambient light intensity is no greater than a preset ambient light threshold (i.e., the environment is relatively dark), the system will determine that sound cues are more suitable. In this case, the system will activate a buzzer as an output device, emitting specific sound signals to guide the user to find the lost device, such as triggering three short beeps followed by one long beep (0.5s on / 1s off). Sound cues have the characteristics of long range and easy detection in dark environments, thus more effectively helping users locate the device.

[0101] Through this design, this application can flexibly select the most appropriate prompting method based on the user's actual environment, which not only improves the accuracy and efficiency of location tracking but also greatly enhances the user experience. Whether in well-lit or dark environments, users can quickly locate their lost mobile devices through the system's prompts.

[0102] In one embodiment, S112, which involves activating a corresponding detection component to detect the current environment and / or current state of the terminal based on the signal triggering condition, may include:

[0103] S2121: When the signal triggering condition is that the terminal is in a plane, the second sensor is activated to detect the current state of the terminal.

[0104] S120 may include issuing a corresponding prompt signal to the user based on the current environment and / or the current state, which may include:

[0105] S221: When it is determined that the current state is that the terminal is on a plane, the vibration motor is started to output a prompt signal.

[0106] S222: When it is determined that the current state is that the terminal is floating, the buzzer is activated to output a prompt signal.

[0107] In this embodiment, when the signal trigger condition is that the terminal is on a certain plane, a corresponding prompt signal can be triggered by detecting the current state. At this time, the system can activate an accelerometer or a magnetic sensor as a second sensor to detect the current state of the terminal, such as whether it is flat, tilted, or suspended. These sensors can perceive the position and attitude information of the device in real time and feed this information back to the system.

[0108] After analyzing the collected status information, the system can determine whether the terminal is currently on a flat surface. If the terminal is determined to be on a flat surface, the system will assume that the current environment is relatively quiet and the device is not easily visible. In this case, it will activate the vibration motor as an output device, sending a continuous and stable vibration signal to the user, such as vibrating once every 5 seconds. Such vibration alerts are particularly effective on flat surfaces because the user can directly perceive the device's presence through touch, thus quickly locating and finding the lost mobile terminal.

[0109] Conversely, if the system determines that the device is suspended in mid-air, it will assume that the device may be placed in an inconspicuous location or is in motion. In this case, activating the buzzer as the output device is more appropriate. The system will guide the user to find the lost device by emitting continuous and rhythmic sound signals, such as triggering a short beep every 3 seconds. Sound cues have the characteristics of long range and easy attention-grabbing when the device is suspended in mid-air, thus helping the user locate the device more effectively.

[0110] Through this design, this application can flexibly select the most appropriate prompting method based on the user's actual situation, which not only improves the accuracy and efficiency of location retrieval but also further enhances the user experience. Whether on a flat surface or suspended in mid-air, the user can quickly locate the lost mobile device through the prompting signals issued by the system.

[0111] In one embodiment, S112, which involves activating a corresponding detection component to detect the current environment and / or current state of the terminal based on the signal triggering condition, may include:

[0112] S3121: When the signal triggering condition is that the terminal is in a complex environment, the third sensor is activated to detect the current environment and current state of the terminal.

[0113] S120 may include issuing a corresponding prompt signal to the user based on the current environment and / or the current state, which may include:

[0114] S321: When the terminal is determined to be in a complex environment based on the current environment and the current state, the vibration motor and buzzer are activated to alternately output prompt signals.

[0115] S322: If the current environment and current state determine that the terminal is not in a complex environment, start the vibration motor or the buzzer to output a prompt signal.

[0116] In this embodiment, when the signal trigger condition indicates that the terminal may be in a complex environment, the system needs to adopt a more comprehensive prompting strategy to ensure that the user can accurately receive the prompting signal. At this time, a more advanced sensor combination can be activated as a third sensor. These sensors can simultaneously detect multiple information such as ambient light, sound, and magnetic fields, thereby gaining a more comprehensive understanding of the device's current environment and state. After comprehensively analyzing this complex information, the system can determine whether the terminal is indeed in a complex environment.

[0117] If the terminal is determined to be in a complex environment, such as a noisy public place or an outdoor environment with drastic changes in lighting, the system will activate a vibration motor and a buzzer to alternately output alert signals. For example, the vibration motor can first emit continuous high-frequency vibrations, followed immediately by a buzzer emitting a specific sound signal, and so on. This alternating alert strategy can effectively attract the user's attention in complex environments, ensuring that the user can accurately perceive the presence of the device even in noisy or poorly lit conditions, and also reducing peak power consumption.

[0118] Conversely, if it is determined that the terminal is not in a complex environment—that is, the environment is relatively simple and stable—the system will flexibly select either a vibration motor or a buzzer as the output device based on the previously detected environmental and status information, and employ the most suitable signal output mode to issue a prompt signal to the user. For example, in a well-lit and quiet environment, only the vibration motor can be activated to prompt the user through vibration; while in a dark and noisy environment, the buzzer can be activated to guide the user to the device through sound.

[0119] It should be noted that the complex environment in this application is mainly determined from three dimensions: spatial occlusion, acoustic penetration, and physical shielding layer. Meeting any two of these criteria is sufficient to define a complex environment. This process can be determined by a combination of feedback from a gyroscope, ambient light sensor, microphone self-feedback detection, and accelerometer, which will not be elaborated here.

[0120] Through this design, this application can flexibly adjust the prompting strategy according to the user's actual environment and state, which not only improves the accuracy and efficiency of location retrieval but also ensures that users can obtain the best search experience in different environments. Whether in complex and ever-changing public places or simple and stable environments, users can quickly find their lost mobile devices through the comprehensive prompting signals issued by the system.

[0121] In one embodiment, S112, which involves activating a corresponding detection component to detect the current environment and / or current state of the terminal based on the signal triggering condition, may include:

[0122] S4121: When the signal triggering condition is that the terminal is in an extreme environment, the fourth sensor is activated to detect the current environment and current state of the terminal.

[0123] S120 may include issuing a corresponding prompt signal to the user based on the current environment and / or the current state, which may include:

[0124] S421: When the terminal is determined to be in an extreme environment based on the current environment and the current state, the emergency reserve power in the remaining power is used to trigger the overclocking vibration mode, and the activation of the sound wave focusing technology is used to output a prompt signal.

[0125] S422: If the current environment and current state determine that the terminal is not in an extreme environment, start the vibration motor or buzzer to output a prompt signal.

[0126] In this embodiment, when the signal triggering condition indicates that the terminal is in an extreme environment, the system's response strategy needs to be more urgent and efficient. Extreme environments can include extreme cold, extreme heat, high humidity, or other conditions that pose a serious threat to device location, such as the phone being deeply buried / multiple-layered (e.g., under a pile of books, inside a metal drawer). Specific settings can be configured according to the actual situation and are not limited here. To ensure that the user can quickly locate the device in such an environment, the system will activate a more specialized fourth sensor combination. These sensors can comprehensively detect various extreme parameters of the environment, such as temperature, humidity, and air pressure.

[0127] Once the system confirms that the terminal is indeed in an extreme environment, it will immediately utilize the emergency power reserve in its remaining battery capacity. This power reserve is specifically designed to handle emergencies, ensuring sufficient energy support in critical moments. The system will then trigger an overclocked vibration mode, a more intense and sustained alert than regular vibration, designed to quickly attract the user's attention through tactile feedback even in extreme environments.

[0128] Simultaneously, the system will also utilize activated acoustic focusing technology to output a warning signal. Acoustic focusing technology can directionally enhance the propagation distance and penetration of sound signals, ensuring that the audible warnings are clearly audible even in noisy or obstructed extreme environments. By combining high-frequency vibration and acoustic focusing technology, the system provides users with dual protection in extreme environments, ensuring that users can accurately and quickly locate lost mobile devices.

[0129] If the system determines that the terminal is not in an extreme environment, it will flexibly select a vibration motor or buzzer as the output device based on the previously detected environmental and status information, and use the most suitable signal output mode to issue a prompt signal to the user. This design ensures both efficient response in extreme environments and flexibility and energy efficiency in everyday environments.

[0130] In one embodiment, the method may further include:

[0131] S131: When outputting a prompt signal to the user, determine the voice intensity when the user triggers the preset command.

[0132] S132: Determine the signal output intensity of the vibration motor and / or the buzzer based on the voice intensity.

[0133] In this embodiment, the system not only considers factors such as ambient light, device status, and environmental complexity, but also introduces an intelligent recognition function for user voice intensity. When a user triggers a preset command (such as calling the device name for location), the system captures and analyzes the user's voice intensity. This function is implemented based on audio acquisition components such as microphones, enabling real-time acquisition of the user's voice signal and processing it to extract voice intensity information.

[0134] Subsequently, the system can dynamically adjust the signal output intensity of the vibration motor and / or buzzer based on the captured voice intensity. For example, if the user's voice is weak, it may mean that the user is relatively far away. In this case, the system will correspondingly increase the vibration amplitude of the vibration motor or the loudness of the buzzer to make the user perceive the location of the terminal as much as possible. Conversely, if the user's voice is strong, it means that the user is relatively close to the terminal. In this case, the system can reduce the signal output intensity, which ensures that the prompt signal is clearly conveyed to the user while reducing power consumption.

[0135] Through this design, this application not only improves the intelligence level of location tracking but also further enhances the personalization of the user experience. The system can flexibly adjust the output method and intensity of prompt signals according to the user's actual needs and environment, thereby providing users with more considerate and efficient services.

[0136] In one embodiment, the method may further include:

[0137] S141: When outputting a prompt signal to the user, determine the number of times the user has triggered the preset command in this power-off state.

[0138] S142: Determine the signal output intensity of the vibration motor and / or the buzzer based on the number of times the user triggers the preset command.

[0139] In this embodiment, the system also introduces an intelligent analysis function for user behavior patterns. Specifically, when a user triggers a preset command (such as calling the device via a specific voice command or key combination) while the device is powered off, the system records and counts the number of times the user triggers the command. This function is implemented based on the device's power management component and command recognition module, enabling real-time monitoring of user operations and counting of these actions.

[0140] Subsequently, the system can dynamically adjust the signal output intensity of the vibration motor and / or buzzer based on the number of times the user triggers a preset command. For example, if the user triggers the command multiple times without successfully locating the device, the system may determine that the user is in a state of anxiety or urgency. In this case, the system will correspondingly increase the signal output intensity, such as increasing the vibration frequency of the vibration motor or the volume of the buzzer, to attract the user's attention more quickly and help them locate the device. Conversely, if the user triggers the command less often, it means that the user may be relatively calm or already close to the device. In this case, the system can appropriately reduce the signal output intensity to avoid excessively interfering with the user or causing unnecessary power consumption.

[0141] Through this design, this application further enhances the intelligence and personalization of the location search function. The system can flexibly adjust the output method and intensity of the prompt signal according to the user's actual behavior and needs, thereby providing users with a more considerate, efficient, and energy-saving service experience.

[0142] In one embodiment, the method may further include:

[0143] S143: When it is detected that the number of times the user triggers the preset command is greater than the first preset number threshold, the emergency reserve power in the residual power is used to start the vibration motor and / or the buzzer to output a prompt signal corresponding to the signal output intensity.

[0144] In this embodiment, the system not only considers the number of times the user triggers the preset command, but also introduces an emergency response mechanism. Specifically, when the system detects that the number of times the user triggers the preset command exceeds a preset first threshold, it means that the user may be in a state of urgent need to find the device, or the device may be in a relatively hidden location, causing the user to fail multiple times. To deal with this situation, the system will immediately use the emergency reserve power from the remaining battery power. This part of the power is specifically reserved for dealing with emergencies, ensuring that the device can provide sufficient energy support at critical moments.

[0145] Once the emergency power reserve is activated, the system will immediately start the vibration motor and / or buzzer, and output an alert signal based on the appropriate signal output strength determined by previous analysis. This design aims to ensure that the user can quickly and accurately locate the device even if multiple attempts have failed. For example, the system may increase the vibration frequency of the vibration motor or the volume of the buzzer to attract the user's attention more quickly and help them find the lost mobile device.

[0146] Through this emergency response mechanism, this application not only improves the reliability and efficiency of the location and search function, but also further enhances user experience satisfaction. The system can flexibly adjust the output method and intensity of prompt signals according to the user's actual needs and operational behavior, and provide additional energy support at critical moments, thereby providing users with more considerate, efficient, and reliable services.

[0147] In one embodiment, the method may further include:

[0148] S144: When it is detected that the number of times the user triggers the preset command is greater than the second preset number threshold, the emergency reserve power in the remaining power is used to trigger the terminal to enter the sleep mode; wherein, the second preset number threshold is greater than the first preset number threshold.

[0149] In this embodiment,

[0150] The system not only considers emergency responses when users urgently need to find the device, but also incorporates preventative measures to prevent the device from becoming unlocatable due to depleted battery power. Specifically, when the system detects that the number of times a user has triggered preset commands exceeds a preset second threshold, it means that the user may have been unable to locate the device for an extended period, or that the device is in an extremely difficult-to-find location, forcing the user to repeatedly attempt to locate it. In this situation, to prevent the device from running out of power due to continuously outputting prompt signals and ultimately losing contact, the system will immediately utilize the emergency reserve power from the remaining battery power to trigger the device to enter sleep mode.

[0151] Sleep mode is a low-power state that significantly reduces device power consumption, ensuring basic device functionality is maintained even when battery levels are extremely low. Once in sleep mode, the system temporarily stops the vibration motor and buzzer output, instead using more energy-efficient notification methods, such as screen flashing or intermittent weak vibrations. Simultaneously, the system continuously monitors user activity; upon detecting a new trigger command, it immediately exits sleep mode and resumes normal notification signal output.

[0152] This design aims to balance the relationship between the device's location tracking function and power consumption, ensuring that the device can provide sufficient power support at critical moments, while avoiding the device from completely losing contact due to power depletion.

[0153] The mobile terminal location locator provided in the embodiments of this application is described below. The mobile terminal location locator described below can be referred to in correspondence with the mobile terminal location locator method described above.

[0154] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 This application provides a schematic diagram of a mobile terminal location locating device according to an embodiment of the present application; the present application also provides a mobile terminal location locating device, which may include an information acquisition module 210 and a location locating module 220, specifically including the following:

[0155] The information acquisition module 210 is used to determine the current environment and / or current state of the terminal when the terminal in the power-off state detects a user triggering a preset command through the pre-stored residual power.

[0156] The location search module 220 is used to send a corresponding prompt signal to the user based on the current environment and / or the current state, so that the user can search for the terminal based on the prompt signal.

[0157] In the above embodiments, this application utilizes the residual power stored in the mobile terminal to establish a "listen-response" dual-mode positioning system. Even when the mobile terminal is powered off and its power is depleted, it can still respond to the user's search needs. Specifically, when the terminal, in its powered-off state, detects a user triggering a preset command using the pre-stored residual power, it determines the current environment and / or current state of the terminal. Based on the detected environment and / or current state, it flexibly selects output devices such as a vibration motor or buzzer, and appropriate signal output modes, such as vibration, buzzer, or a combination thereof, to send corresponding prompt signals to the user. This ensures that the user can accurately receive the prompt signals in various environments, thereby quickly locating the lost mobile terminal. This saves the cost of purchasing external hardware modules and avoids the risk of patch loss or detachment.
