[0048] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this disclosure.
[0049] It should be noted that in other embodiments, the steps of the corresponding methods are not necessarily performed in the order shown and described in this disclosure. In some other embodiments, the methods may include more or fewer steps than those described in this disclosure.
[0050] The power consumption optimization method provided in this disclosure is described below through specific embodiments and application scenarios. This method optimizes the power consumption of an electronic device based on its device state and a corresponding power consumption optimization strategy.
[0051] In implementation, the device status of the electronic device can be obtained in response to the electronic device accessing the ad hoc network;
[0052] Based on the device state, determine the power consumption optimization strategy corresponding to the device state;
[0053] Based on the power consumption optimization strategy, the electronic device is subjected to power consumption optimization processing.
[0054] Through the above embodiments, an electronic device can, in response to accessing an ad hoc network, obtain its device status; determine a power consumption optimization strategy corresponding to the device status; and perform power consumption optimization processing on the electronic device based on the power consumption optimization strategy. Therefore, when an electronic device is accessing an ad hoc network, targeted power consumption optimization processing can be performed on the electronic device based on its device status, thereby saving power consumption and improving the user experience.
[0055] The present disclosure will now be described through specific embodiments and in conjunction with specific application scenarios.
[0056] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a system architecture diagram illustrating a power optimization method according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 1 As shown, the self-organizing network can consist of multiple electronic devices. The specific types of these electronic devices can be set according to actual needs, and this disclosure does not limit them. For example, the multiple electronic devices may include smartphones, laptops, tablets, smart TVs, etc.
[0057] The method involves an electronic device (exemplarily a smartwatch) responding to accessing an ad hoc network by obtaining the device status of the electronic device; determining a power optimization strategy corresponding to the device status based on the device status; and performing power optimization processing on the electronic device based on the power optimization strategy.
[0058] The device status can include a screen-off state; the power consumption optimization strategy corresponding to the device status can include: when the electronic device is in a screen-off state, disabling other auxiliary functions except for the BLE broadcast function.
[0059] Other auxiliary functions include at least one of the following: scanning function related to BLE broadcasting function, WLAN broadcasting function, and WLAN scanning function.
[0060] The broadcast data of BLE broadcast can include the IP address of the electronic device; the electronic device can also encapsulate the IP address of the electronic device in the broadcast data for BLE broadcast, so that the peer device receiving the broadcast data can identify whether the electronic device and the peer device are located in the same local area network based on the IP address, and if it is determined that the electronic device and the peer device are located in the same local area network, request to establish a connection with the electronic device.
[0061] In this context, before determining the power consumption optimization strategy corresponding to the device status based on the device status, the electronic device can identify the peer device that has established a long connection with the electronic device in the self-organizing network and obtain the device status of the peer device.
[0062] Power consumption optimization strategies corresponding to device status may include: adjusting the sending frequency of heartbeat packets by the electronic device based on the device status of the electronic device and the device status of the peer device; wherein, the heartbeat packets are used to maintain a long connection.
[0063] The device status may also include screen-on status; the electronic device may adjust the frequency of sending heartbeat packets to a first frequency when both the electronic device's status and the remote device's status are screen-off; or...
[0064] The electronic device can adjust its heartbeat packet transmission frequency to a second frequency when its screen is off and the other device's screen is on; or when its screen is on and the other device's screen is off; the second frequency is higher than the first frequency.
[0065] The electronic device can adjust the frequency of sending heartbeat packets to a third frequency when both the device status of the electronic device and the device status of the peer device are on; the third frequency is higher than the second frequency.
[0066] The electronic device can determine whether it has triggered a target service within a preset time period before the device status is obtained after the electronic device has accessed the ad hoc network. The target service includes communication services through the ad hoc network. If the electronic device has not triggered the target service within the preset time period, the ad hoc network service of the electronic device is disabled.
[0067] Specifically, before an electronic device accesses the ad hoc network and its device status is obtained, it can, upon receiving a device list pushed from the cloud, query the list of peer devices with whom it has established a trusted relationship, based on the login user information corresponding to the electronic device. The device list is pushed by the cloud when new electronic devices upload device information and add it to the list. There must be a trusted relationship between the new electronic devices and the existing electronic devices. If the number of peer devices exceeds a preset threshold, the ad hoc network broadcast function is activated.
[0068] The electronic device can obtain the login user information corresponding to the electronic device; based on the hash algorithm, it calculates the digest information corresponding to the login user information, and encapsulates the digest information in the broadcast data for broadcasting, so that the low-power controller on the receiving end device can identify whether a trusted relationship has been established with the electronic device based on the digest information, and if it is determined that a trusted relationship has been established, the main controller on the end device requests the electronic device to establish a connection.
[0069] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating a power consumption optimization method according to an exemplary embodiment.
[0070] like Figure 2 As shown, the above-mentioned electronic device can perform the following steps:
[0071] Step 202: In response to the electronic device accessing the ad hoc network, obtain the device status of the electronic device.
[0072] Electronic devices can connect to ad hoc networks for communication. When an electronic device is connected to an ad hoc network, its device status can be obtained, and power optimization strategies can be implemented based on that status.
[0073] The specific details regarding the device status can be set according to actual needs, and this disclosure does not impose any limitations on this.
[0074] For example, the device state can include screen off state and screen on state.
[0075] It should be noted that since the power consumption of electronic devices maintaining a long connection after connecting to a self-organizing network is relatively high, preset restrictions can be used to control the activation of self-organizing network services by electronic devices when the restrictions are met.
[0076] The specific details of this restriction can be set according to actual needs, and this disclosure does not limit it.
[0077] In one embodiment shown, before obtaining the device status of the electronic device in response to the electronic device accessing the ad hoc network, the electronic device can determine whether the electronic device has triggered a target service within a preset time period; wherein, the target service includes services that communicate through the ad hoc network; if the electronic device has not triggered the target service within the preset time period, the ad hoc network service of the electronic device is disabled.
[0078] The target service can refer to a service that requires communication via a self-organizing network. The specific content of the target service can be set according to actual needs, and this disclosure does not limit it.
[0079] For example, target services may include cross-device pasting, screen mirroring, and file sharing.
[0080] Electronic devices can determine whether a target service has been triggered within a preset time period by listening to whether the interface used to process the target service is called.
[0081] For example, if an electronic device detects that the interface used to process the target service is called within a preset time period, it can be determined that the target service has been triggered within that preset time period, and the self-organizing network service of the electronic device can be enabled; if the electronic device does not detect that the interface used to process the target service is called within a preset time period, it can be determined that the target service has not been triggered within that preset time period, and the self-organizing network service of the electronic device can be disabled.
[0082] In this way, the self-organizing network service of electronic devices can be dynamically started and stopped, thereby avoiding the power consumption waste caused by the self-organizing network service when it is not needed.
[0083] In one embodiment shown, before obtaining the device status of an electronic device after it has accessed the ad hoc network, the electronic device may, in response to receiving a device list pushed by the cloud, query the device list for peer devices with whom it has established a trusted relationship, based on the login user information corresponding to the electronic device; wherein, the device list is pushed by the cloud when device information uploaded by a new electronic device is added to the device list; a trusted relationship exists between the new electronic device and the existing electronic device; and in response to the number of peer devices exceeding a preset threshold, the ad hoc network broadcast function is activated.
[0084] When a user logs into a new electronic device, the new electronic device can upload the user's login information to the cloud. The cloud can receive the user's login information and add it to the device list. The device list stores user login information uploaded within a preset valid time period, which can be used to determine the trust relationship between electronic devices.
[0085] To promptly detect new electronic devices preparing to join the ad hoc network, the cloud can, upon receiving device information uploaded by a new electronic device, determine which electronic devices have a trusted relationship with the new device based on the user login information stored in the device list, and can push the new device list to that device. When the electronic device receives the device list pushed by the cloud, it indicates the presence of a new electronic device preparing to join the ad hoc network. In this case, the electronic device can query the device list for peer devices with whom it has established a trusted relationship, based on its corresponding login user information. If the number of peer devices exceeds a preset threshold, the ad hoc network broadcast function is activated so that it can be scanned and connected to by the new electronic device.
[0086] The trusted relationship can refer to the consistency of login user information when logging into multiple electronic devices, or it can refer to the fact that the login user information when logging into multiple electronic devices belongs to the member information of a trusted group, or it can refer to other forms of trusted relationship. This disclosure does not limit it in this regard.
[0087] The specific details of the preset threshold can be set according to actual needs, and this disclosure does not limit them.
[0088] For example, see Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a scenario diagram illustrating a power consumption optimization method according to an exemplary embodiment. For example... Figure 3 As shown, when user A logs into the device, electronic device A can upload user login information_3 corresponding to user A to the cloud. The cloud can receive the user login information and add it to the device list. The device list can include user login information_3, as well as user login information_1 corresponding to electronic device B and user login information_2 corresponding to electronic device C. The cloud can determine that electronic device B and electronic device A have a trusted relationship based on the device list. Therefore, the cloud can push the device list to electronic device A and electronic device B. In response to receiving the device list, electronic device B can query the device list for peer devices that have established a trusted relationship with electronic device B, including electronic device A, based on user login information_2 corresponding to electronic device B. The preset threshold can be 0. Therefore, if the number of peer devices is greater than the preset threshold, electronic device B can start the self-organizing network broadcast function so that it can be scanned by electronic device A and a connection can be established.
[0089] In this way, electronic devices can not only detect new electronic devices that are about to join the ad hoc network in a timely manner, but also avoid the invalid activation of the ad hoc network broadcast function, thereby saving power consumption.
[0090] It should be noted that the cloud can delete the login user information corresponding to the electronic device stored in the device list when it detects that a user has logged out of the electronic device; it can also delete the login user information corresponding to the electronic device stored in the device list when it detects that the activity level of the electronic device is lower than a preset threshold; it can also delete abnormal login user information stored in the device list under other preset conditions, and this disclosure does not limit this.
[0091] In one embodiment shown, the method of activating the self-organizing network broadcast function may specifically include obtaining login user information corresponding to the electronic device; calculating digest information corresponding to the login user information based on a hash algorithm, and encapsulating the digest information in broadcast data for broadcasting, so that the low-power controller on the receiving end device can identify whether a trusted relationship has been established with the electronic device based on the digest information, and if it is determined that a trusted relationship has been established, the main controller on the end device requests the electronic device to establish a connection.
[0092] To further save power consumption, when the self-organizing network broadcast function needs to be activated, the login user information corresponding to the electronic device can be broadcast in the broadcast data. This allows the peer device to receive the broadcast data and, based on its low-power controller, identify whether a trusted relationship has been established with the electronic device. If a trusted relationship is established, the peer device can send a notification to the main controller on the peer device, so that the main controller can request the electronic device to establish a connection.
[0093] Due to the limited performance of low-power controllers, in order to improve the recognition accuracy of low-power controllers, electronic devices can obtain login user information corresponding to themselves, and calculate summary information corresponding to the login user information based on a hash algorithm. The summary information is then encapsulated in broadcast data and broadcast. The low-power controller on the other end device can then identify the device based on this summary information.
[0094] By delegating the preprocessing of broadcast data to a low-power controller, the power consumption required by electronic devices during the self-organizing network construction process can be further reduced.
[0095] Step 204: Determine the power consumption optimization strategy corresponding to the device state based on the device state.
[0096] Electronic devices exist in different device states, and each of these different device states can correspond to different power consumption optimization strategies, thereby enabling targeted optimization.
[0097] Step 206: Based on the power consumption optimization strategy, perform power consumption optimization processing on the electronic device.
[0098] For example, if a power optimization strategy corresponding to the device state of an electronic device is determined, the power optimization process of the electronic device can be performed based on the power optimization strategy.
[0099] In one embodiment shown, the device state includes a screen-off state; the power consumption optimization strategy corresponding to the device state may include: when the electronic device is in a screen-off state, disabling all auxiliary functions except for the BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) broadcast function.
[0100] Bluetooth Broadcast (BLE) is a wireless communication technology designed for short-range data transmission with lower power consumption. It is typically used in IoT devices, wearables, and smart home products, supporting fast connection and efficient data exchange while extending device battery life. BLE broadcast functionality refers to the ability to broadcast via Bluetooth broadcast channels.
[0101] In this disclosure, the BLE broadcast function can be used to broadcast broadcast data related to electronic devices and ad hoc networks.
[0102] Since electronic devices do not need to handle target services that communicate via ad hoc networks when the screen is off, auxiliary functions other than BLE broadcasting can be turned off to save power while ensuring that they can be scanned by other electronic devices.
[0103] The specific details of this auxiliary function can be set according to actual needs, and this disclosure does not limit it.
[0104] In one embodiment shown, other auxiliary functions may include at least one of the following functions: scanning function related to BLE broadcasting function, WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) broadcasting function, and WLAN scanning function.
[0105] The scanning function related to the BLE broadcast function can refer to the function of scanning via Bluetooth scanning channels. In this disclosure, the scanning function can be used to receive broadcast data related to ad hoc networks broadcast by peer devices.
[0106] WLAN is a network technology that allows devices to connect and communicate wirelessly within a local area (such as a home, office, or campus). It is typically based on the IEEE 802.11 standard and uses radio waves for data transmission, enabling users to access network resources, the internet, and other devices without a physical connection. WLAN broadcasting refers to the ability to broadcast over a local area network (LAN) channel. WLAN scanning refers to the ability to scan within a LAN channel.
[0107] In this disclosure, the WLAN broadcast function can broadcast broadcast data related to the ad hoc network from electronic devices. The WLAN scanning function can be used to receive broadcast data related to the ad hoc network from peer devices.
[0108] Since WLAN scanning and broadcasting functions consume a lot of power, they can be turned off when the electronic device is in a screen-off state to save power.
[0109] It should be noted that this auxiliary function may also include other functions for broadcasting or scanning, which are not limited in this disclosure.
[0110] In one embodiment shown, the broadcast data of BLE broadcast may include the IP address of the electronic device; based on this, the electronic device may encapsulate the IP address of the electronic device in the broadcast data for BLE broadcast, so that the peer device receiving the broadcast data can identify whether the electronic device and the peer device are located on the same local area network based on the IP address, and if it is determined that the electronic device and the peer device are located on the same local area network, request to establish a connection with the electronic device.
[0111] The IP (Internet Protocol Address) is a unique identifier used to identify each device on a network. In this disclosure, the IP address can be used to identify whether an electronic device and its peer device are located on the same local area network.
[0112] In this case, when the electronic device and the peer device are on the same local area network (LAN), the electronic device can usually establish a successful connection with the peer device. When the electronic device and the peer device are not on the same LAN, the electronic device usually fails to establish a connection with the peer device. Therefore, in order to avoid the power waste caused by the failed connection establishment process, it is possible to identify in advance whether the electronic device and the peer device are on the same LAN based on their IP addresses, so that if it is determined that the electronic device and the peer device are on the same LAN, a connection request can be made to the electronic device.
[0113] For example, electronic device A can encapsulate its IP address in broadcast data and broadcast it via BLE. The peer device B can receive the broadcast data and, based on the IP address in the broadcast data, identify whether electronic device A and peer device B are on the same local area network. If it is determined that electronic device A and peer device B are on the same local area network, it can request to establish a connection with electronic device A.
[0114] In this way, power consumption waste caused by failed connection establishment processes can be avoided.
[0115] It should be noted that electronic devices can also encrypt and encapsulate the IP address in broadcast data to improve the security of data transmission, but this disclosure does not limit this.
[0116] It's important to note that when an electronic device is in a screen-off state, it may disconnect from the peer device because it doesn't need to process any business. In this case, the electronic device can enable BLE broadcasting, allowing the peer device to scan and obtain its broadcast data. The key used to encrypt and decrypt the IP address can be exchanged between the electronic and peer devices during the initial connection establishment. When re-establishing a connection, the electronic device may be connected to a different local area network (LAN). In this case, the electronic device can encrypt the IP address and encapsulate it in the broadcast data for BLE broadcasting. The peer device can decrypt the broadcast data and obtain the IP address to determine if the electronic device is connected to the same LAN as the peer device. If the LANs are identical, the peer device can re-request a connection from the electronic device.
[0117] In one embodiment shown, before determining a power optimization strategy corresponding to the device state based on the device state, the electronic device can identify a peer device with which it has established a long-term connection in the ad hoc network and obtain the device state of the peer device. Based on this, the power optimization strategy corresponding to the device state may include: adjusting the transmission frequency of heartbeat packets sent by the electronic device according to the device state of the electronic device and the device state of the peer device; wherein the heartbeat packets are used to maintain the long-term connection.
[0118] Heartbeat packets are small data packets used in network communication. They are sent periodically to maintain the active state of a connection and are an important mechanism in network communication, playing a role in maintaining connections, monitoring status, optimizing resources, and improving system stability. By properly configuring the frequency and content of heartbeat packets, system performance and reliability can be effectively improved.
[0119] When a long-term connection is established between an electronic device and a peer device, the electronic device can adjust the frequency of heartbeat packets sent to maintain the long-term connection based on the device status of both the electronic device and the peer device, in order to save power consumption.
[0120] For example, in an ad hoc network, electronic device A can establish a long connection with peer device B. Electronic device A can obtain the device status of peer device B and adjust the sending frequency of heartbeat packets based on the device status of electronic device A and peer device B.
[0121] This method allows for power savings even when a long-term connection is established between the electronic device and the peer device.
[0122] In one embodiment shown, the device state may further include a screen-on state; the electronic device may adjust the transmission frequency of the heartbeat packets to a first frequency when both the device state of the electronic device and the device state of the peer device are in a screen-off state; or...
[0123] When the electronic device is in a screen-off state and the remote device is in a screen-on state; or when the electronic device is in a screen-on state and the remote device is in a screen-off state, adjust the frequency at which the electronic device sends heartbeat packets to a second frequency; the second frequency is higher than the first frequency; or...
[0124] When both the electronic device and the peer device are in the on state, adjust the frequency at which the electronic device sends heartbeat packets to the third frequency; the third frequency is higher than the second frequency.
[0125] When both the electronic device and the peer device are in a screen-off state, it indicates that neither the electronic device nor the peer device needs to handle services communicated via the ad hoc network. Therefore, the sending frequency of the heartbeat packets by the electronic device can be adjusted to the first frequency.
[0126] For example, if both electronic device A and the peer device B are in a screen-off state, the sending frequency of heartbeat packets between electronic device A and peer device B can be adjusted to the first frequency.
[0127] When the device status of the electronic device is off and the device status of the peer device is on, it indicates that the electronic device does not need to handle services through ad hoc network communication, but the peer device may need to handle services through ad hoc network communication. Therefore, the sending frequency of the heartbeat packets of the electronic device can be adjusted to the second frequency.
[0128] For example, if electronic device A is in a screen-off state and the other device B is in a screen-on state, the sending frequency of heartbeat packets between electronic device A and the other device B can be adjusted to the second frequency.
[0129] When the device status of the electronic device is on and the device status of the peer device is off, it indicates that the peer device does not need to handle services through ad hoc network communication, but the electronic device may need to handle services through ad hoc network communication. Therefore, the sending frequency of the heartbeat packets of the electronic device can be adjusted to the second frequency.
[0130] For example, if electronic device A is in a screen-on state and the other device B is in a screen-off state, the sending frequency of heartbeat packets between electronic device A and the other device B can be adjusted to the second frequency.
[0131] If both the electronic device and the peer device are in the on state, it indicates that both the electronic device and the peer device may need to handle services that communicate via the ad hoc network. Therefore, the sending frequency of the heartbeat packets by the electronic device can be adjusted to the third frequency.
