Detailed Implementation

[0022] The control method for a smart terminal provided in this invention is applied to a smart terminal. Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the invention. The terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. The terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings are used to distinguish different objects, not to describe a specific order.

[0023] In this document, the term "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of the invention. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a mutually exclusive, independent, or alternative embodiment. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0024] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] With the continuous development of information technology, people have increasingly higher requirements for the battery life of smart terminals, such as smartphones or tablets. However, the battery life of smartphones is generally only 1-3 days, which cannot meet the needs of special scenarios such as long-term outdoor work, emergency rescue, and wilderness exploration.

[0026] Currently, smart terminals typically employ a dual-screen design or an internal power-saving mode. For dual-screen designs, key information is displayed on the smaller screen to reduce display unit power consumption, or the terminal's power-saving mode is switched when the battery is low to extend battery life. However, in both of these methods, the smart terminal still runs within a single terminal system; essentially, it's simply running in the background, and its basic power consumption isn't fundamentally reduced, resulting in limited power-saving effects and insufficient battery life.

[0027] Specifically, existing smart terminals typically have only one hardware system. Whether switching between dual screens or between normal and power-saving modes, they are essentially running on a single hardware system. The basic power consumption that a single hardware system can provide is limited. Therefore, control based on a single hardware system does not play a fundamental role in increasing battery life, resulting in limited power saving and insufficient battery life.

[0028] Based on this, the present invention provides a control method for a smart terminal, a device, a smart terminal, and a storage medium.

[0029] The following description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, outlines a control method, apparatus, smart terminal, and storage medium for an intelligent terminal according to embodiments of the present invention.

[0030] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a smart terminal according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 This is a flowchart illustrating a control method for a smart terminal provided in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0031] like Figure 1 The method is applied to the control device of the smart terminal, and the smart terminal further includes a first hardware system and a second hardware system that are independent of each other.

[0032] The smart terminal can be a smartphone, walkie-talkie, satellite phone, tablet, smartwatch, or other terminal device. Two independent hardware systems are configured on the smart terminal, using separate processors, memory, power management, etc., to achieve physical isolation between the hardware systems. Powering off one hardware system will not affect the operation of the other. The first hardware system can be configured with a high-performance processor running the Android or Linux operating system. The second hardware system can be configured as a low-power coprocessor running an RTOS (Real-Time Operating System). That is, the first hardware system is composed of a smartphone chipset, and the second hardware system is composed of a feature phone chipset. The second hardware system runs a low-power operating system to reduce internal power consumption and increase the smart terminal's battery life. A control device communicates with both the first and second hardware systems to coordinate the switching of common peripheral resources between the two hardware systems. Specifically, the control device can be configured as a hardware module, such as an MCU (microcontroller) module, specifically an STM32 series, ESP32, Nordic nRF52, etc. It runs independently with lightweight firmware and is responsible for low-power task scheduling, sensor data preprocessing, etc.

[0033] like Figure 2As shown, in an embodiment of the present invention, the method includes: Step 101: Detect the remaining battery power of the smart terminal.

[0034] The first hardware system can be configured to run the Android operating system. When the smart terminal is powered on or has sufficient battery power, it defaults to enabling all applications of the operating system within the first hardware system. The control device controls the communication between common peripheral resources and the first hardware system, records real-time updated information about these common resources, and controls the disconnection of these resources from the second hardware system. In other words, when the first hardware system powers on and the second hardware system powers off, the smart terminal only runs the operating system within the first hardware system.

[0035] Step 102: When the remaining battery power of the smart terminal is lower than the preset power threshold, the power of the first hardware system is turned off and the second hardware system is enabled so that the smart terminal enters a low-power operation state.

[0036] The preset battery power threshold can be a user-defined setting for the remaining battery power. For example, if the user sets the preset threshold to be below 20% of the total battery power, when the battery power reaches 20%, the control device shuts down the power of the first hardware system and starts the second hardware system. Simultaneously, the control device disconnects common peripheral resources from the first hardware system and switches to communication with the second hardware system. The smart terminal then enters the low-power operating system within the second hardware system, entering a low-power operating state. This low-power operating system only runs basic functions such as standby, call, and location services. The RTOS system running in the second hardware system consumes less power than the Android smart operating system or the power-saving mode within the Android smart operating system, thus extending the standby time of the smart terminal.

[0037] This invention discloses a control method for a smart terminal. The method is applied to a control device of the smart terminal, which further includes a first hardware system and a second hardware system that are independent of each other. The method includes: detecting the remaining battery power of the smart terminal; when the remaining battery power is lower than a preset power threshold, controlling the power supply of the first hardware system to be turned off and the second hardware system to be enabled, so that the smart terminal enters a low-power operation state. Compared with the existing smart terminals that typically use a single hardware system, the smart terminal of this invention has an independent first hardware system, a second hardware system, and a corresponding control device. The control device can switch the smart terminal from the first hardware system to the second hardware system when the remaining battery power is lower than the preset power threshold, and switch the power-on or power-off of the first hardware system and the second hardware system in real time to increase the standby time of the smart terminal.

[0038] like Figure 3 As shown, in an embodiment of the present invention, the method includes: Step 201: Detect the remaining battery power of the smart terminal.

[0039] Step 202: When the remaining battery power is lower than the preset power threshold, output a hardware system switching prompt message; Before the smart terminal switches from the first hardware system to the second hardware system, the user interface will display a switching prompt, asking the user whether to switch to the second hardware system. If the user chooses not to switch to the second hardware system, the smart terminal will always operate on the first hardware system, and the control device will maintain a constant communication connection between the common peripheral resources and the first hardware system. If the user chooses to switch to the second hardware system, upon receiving the switching information, the control device will simultaneously power down the first hardware system and power on the second hardware system. Simultaneously, it will disconnect the common peripheral resources from the first hardware system and simultaneously establish a communication connection between the common peripheral resources and the second hardware system. The smart terminal will then switch to the second hardware system and operate in a low-power mode.

[0040] Step 203: When a hardware system switch confirmation message is detected, the power supply to the first hardware system is turned off, and the second hardware system is enabled. This allows the smart terminal to enter a low-power operating state.

[0041] Step 204: When the battery power of the smart terminal is detected to be restored to above the preset power threshold or an external charging signal is received, the second hardware system is shut down and the first hardware system is restarted.

[0042] When the battery level is higher than a preset threshold, the smart terminal always operates under the first hardware system. The control device controls the communication connection between the common peripheral resources and the first hardware system, and disconnects the second hardware system. In other words, the smart terminal always runs under the smart operating system, enhancing the user experience. Similarly, when an external power source is connected to the smart terminal, the control device controls the common resources to disconnect from the second hardware system and connect to the first hardware system. At the same time, the second hardware system powers off, and the first hardware system powers on.

[0043] like Figure 4 As shown, in an embodiment of the present invention, the first hardware system and the second hardware system share common peripheral resources. After enabling the second hardware system, the method further includes: The switching signal path of the common peripheral resource is switched from the first hardware system to the second hardware system, so that the second hardware system receives and responds to the input signal of the common peripheral resource.

[0044] Specifically, the public peripheral resources include a contact storage module 4, a communication module 5, a volume control button 6, a power button 7, a positioning module 8, an audio module 10, and a SIM card interface module 9.

[0045] like Figure 4 As shown, the smart terminal is equipped with multiple single-pole double-throw switches 11. The control device connects to the address book storage module 4, communication module 5, volume control button 6, power button 7, positioning module 8, audio module 10, and SIM card interface module 9 respectively through the corresponding single-pole double-throw switches 11. This allows the single-pole double-throw switches 11 to selectively connect the address book storage module 4, communication module 5, volume control button 6, power button 7, positioning module 8, audio module 10, and SIM card interface module 9 to either the first hardware system or the second hardware system.

[0046] Specifically, the input terminals A of the single-pole double-throw (SPD) switches 11 are respectively connected to the corresponding address book storage module 4, communication module 5, volume control button 6, power button 7, positioning module 8, audio module 10, and SIM card interface module 9. Correspondingly, the output terminals B of the multiple SPD switches 11 are respectively connected to the first hardware system, and the output terminals C of the multiple SPD switches 11 are respectively connected to the second hardware system. When the battery power is greater than a preset power threshold, or when the smart terminal is connected to an external power source, the control device controls the input terminals A and corresponding output terminals B of the multiple SPD switches 11 to connect the address book storage module 4, communication module 5, volume control button 6, power button 7, positioning module 8, and SIM card interface module 9 to the first hardware system. Similarly, when the remaining battery power is lower than the preset power threshold, the control device controls the input terminals A and corresponding output terminals C of multiple single-pole double-throw switches 11 to connect the address book storage module 4, communication module 5, volume adjustment button 6, power button 7, positioning module 8, audio module 10 and SIM card interface module 9 to the second hardware system for communication.

[0047] To better understand the embodiments of the present invention, examples can be given from specific application scenarios, such as... Figure 5The diagram shows the structure of a smart terminal (dual hardware system). The smart terminal can be a smartphone, containing two independent operating systems: a full-featured smartphone system in the first hardware system and a low-power feature phone system in the second hardware system. Both systems communicate with a control device. When the battery has power, the control device remains in standby mode. Upon powering on, the phone offers two options: the default is to enter the full-featured smartphone system. When the battery level drops below a preset threshold, a pop-up window will prompt the user to enter the low-power feature phone system. If the user confirms not to enter, the smartphone will continue to run within the full-featured smartphone system. Users can choose a power-saving mode within the full-featured smartphone system to increase standby time; however, this power-saving mode is still based on power-saving optimizations of the full-featured smartphone's Android system, only closing some Android applications in the background. Due to the high clock speed and power consumption of smartphone chips, the power-saving function is limited. Correspondingly, when the battery level falls below a preset threshold, a pop-up window will prompt the user to enter the low-power feature phone system. After confirmation, the control device powers off the full-featured smartphone system and powers on the low-power feature phone system. Simultaneously, the control device controls the single-pole double-throw switch 11 to disconnect the contact storage module 4, communication module 5, volume control buttons 6, power button 7, positioning module 8, audio module 10, and SIM card interface module 9 from the full-featured smartphone system and connect them to the low-power feature phone system. This switches common peripheral resources to the low-power feature phone system. The low-power feature phone uses an RTOS system and low-power chips, retaining only basic standby, call, and GPS coordinate reporting functions. Its power consumption is only about 15% of that of a full-featured smartphone, significantly improving standby time. Specifically, when the dual-system smartphone is connected to an external power source, the control device simultaneously powers off the low-power feature phone system and powers on the full-function smartphone system. It also controls the single-pole double-throw switch 11 to connect the address book storage module 4, communication module 5, volume control buttons 6, power button 7, positioning module 8, audio module 10, and SIM card interface module 9 to the full-function smartphone system and disconnect them from the low-power feature phone system. This enhances the human-computer interaction experience of the phone.

[0048] It should be noted that in practical applications, the first hardware system is the primary operating system, possessing complete data processing and communication capabilities, while the second hardware system is a low-power backup system, maintaining only basic standby, call, and location functions. The two hardware systems share the same set of common peripheral resources, achieving resource reuse through switching via a single-pole double-throw switch 11. When the smart terminal has sufficient power or is connected to an external power source, the primary system runs the operating system and provides full functional support; when the power level falls below a preset threshold, it automatically switches to the backup system, disabling unnecessary functions to extend standby time. In this mode, users can still perform critical operations such as emergency calls and location reporting. This design effectively improves the standby time of the smart terminal in extreme environments.

[0049] It should also be noted that when a smart terminal is configured as a smartphone, it can be equipped with two displays. One display serves as the primary display, showing all smartphone applications to the first hardware system. The other display serves as the secondary display, showing low-power feature phone applications to the second hardware system when the smart terminal switches to it. This further reduces power consumption and increases standby time.

[0050] Another control method for a smart terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention is applied to a control device for the smart terminal. The smart terminal further includes a first hardware system and a second hardware system that are independent of each other. The method includes: detecting the remaining battery power of the smart terminal; when the remaining battery power is lower than a preset power threshold, controlling the first hardware system to power off and controlling the second hardware system to power on; simultaneously, the control device controls common peripheral resources to switch between the corresponding first hardware system and the second hardware system, so that the smart terminal enters a low-power operation state. By setting up an independent first hardware system, a second hardware system, and a control device on the smart terminal, and switching the power-on or power-off of the first hardware system and the second hardware system in real time according to the remaining battery power, the standby time of the smart terminal is increased.

[0051] like Figure 6 As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present invention discloses a control device for a smart terminal. The smart terminal further includes a first hardware system and a second hardware system that are independent of each other. The control device includes: The detection module 31 can be configured to detect the remaining battery power of the smart terminal.

[0052] The control module 32 can be configured to turn off the power of the first hardware system and enable the second hardware system when the remaining battery power is lower than a preset power threshold, so that the smart terminal enters a low-power operation state.

[0053] The control module 32 can also be configured to shut down the second hardware system and restart the first hardware system when it detects that the battery power has recovered to above a preset power threshold or when an external charging signal is received.

[0054] In embodiments of the present invention, the device further includes: Output module 33 can be configured to output hardware system switching prompt information, prompting the user whether to switch to the second hardware system.

[0055] The control module 32 can also be configured to control the power supply of the first hardware system to be turned off and the second hardware system to be enabled when a hardware system switching confirmation information is detected.

[0056] In embodiments of the present invention, the first hardware system and the second hardware system share common peripheral resources, and the device further includes: The switching module 34 is configured to switch the switching signal path of the common peripheral resource from the first hardware system to the second hardware system, so that the second hardware system receives and responds to the input signal of the common peripheral resource.

[0057] In embodiments of the present invention, the common peripheral resources include a contact storage module 4, a communication module, a volume control button 6, a power button 7, a positioning module 8, an audio module 10, and a SIM card connection module.

[0058] Specifically, the smart terminal is equipped with multiple single-pole double-throw switches 11. The control device connects to the address book storage module 4, communication module 5, volume control button 6, power button 7, positioning module 8, audio module 10, and SIM card interface module 9 respectively through the corresponding single-pole double-throw switches 11. This allows the single-pole double-throw switches 11 to selectively connect the address book storage module 4, communication module 5, volume control button 6, power button 7, positioning module 8, audio module 10, and SIM card interface module 9 to either the first hardware system or the second hardware system.

[0059] More specifically, the input terminals A of the multiple single-pole double-throw switches 11 are respectively connected to the corresponding address book storage module 4, communication module 5, volume adjustment button 6, power button 7, positioning module 8, audio module 10 and SIM card interface module 9. Correspondingly, the output terminals B of the multiple single-pole double-throw switches 11 are respectively connected to the first hardware system, and the output terminals C of the multiple single-pole double-throw switches 11 are respectively connected to the second hardware system. When the battery power exceeds a preset power threshold, or when the smart terminal is connected to an external power source, the control device controls the input terminals A and corresponding output terminals B of multiple single-pole double-throw switches 11 to connect the address book storage module 4, communication module 5, volume control button 6, power button 7, positioning module 8, audio module 10, and SIM card interface module 9 to the first hardware system. Similarly, when the remaining battery power is below a preset power threshold, the control device controls the input terminals A and corresponding output terminals C of multiple single-pole double-throw switches 11 to connect the address book storage module 4, communication module 5, volume control button 6, power button 7, positioning module 8, audio module 10, and SIM card interface module 9 to the second hardware system.

[0060] This invention discloses a control device for a smart terminal. The smart terminal includes a first hardware system, a second hardware system, and a control state, all of which are independent of each other. The control device detects the remaining battery power of the smart terminal. When the remaining battery power is lower than a preset power threshold, it controls the first hardware system to power off and the second hardware system to power on. Simultaneously, the control device controls common peripheral resources to switch between the corresponding first and second hardware systems, thereby enabling the smart terminal to enter a low-power operating state. By using the independent first and second hardware systems and the control device on the smart terminal, and by switching between powering on and off the first and second hardware systems in real time according to the remaining battery power, the standby time of the smart terminal is increased.

[0061] This invention provides a smart terminal, including the control device described in the above embodiments, as well as a first hardware system and a second hardware system that are independent of each other.

[0062] Specifically, the smart terminal includes: at least one processor; and a memory communicatively connected to the at least one processor; wherein the memory stores instructions executable by the at least one processor, the instructions being executed by the at least one processor to enable the at least one processor to perform the control method described in the above embodiments.
