[0029] The following describes exemplary embodiments of the present application in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although exemplary embodiments of the present application are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present application can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments described herein. Instead, these embodiments are provided to enable a more thorough understanding of the present application and to fully convey the scope of the present application to those skilled in the art.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, the present application provides an electronic device 1, comprising:

[0031] A modem 11, the modem being configured to receive a first prompt signal;

[0032] a screen module 12, the screen module 12 being connected to the modem 11 to receive the first prompt signal;

[0033] When the screen module 12 is in the sleep mode, the screen module 12 displays a corresponding preset picture according to the first prompt signal.

[0034] In this embodiment, the user can pre-set the electronic device and determine that the signal in one or more applications is the first prompt signal. When the screen module is in sleep mode, the one or more applications are connected to the modem 11 to send the first prompt signal to the modem 11. Modem 11 is the abbreviation of Modulator and Demodulator, and is an electronic device 1 that can realize the modulation and demodulation functions required for communication. It is generally composed of a modulator and a demodulator. At the transmitting end, the digital signal generated by the computer serial port is modulated into an analog signal that can be transmitted through the telephone line; at the receiving end, the modem 11 converts the analog signal input to the computer into a corresponding digital signal and sends it to the computer interface. In personal computers, modems 11 are often used to exchange data and programs with other computers, as well as to access online information service programs. The screen module 12 has a sleep mode and a wake-up mode. When the screen module 12 is in the sleep mode, the user cannot operate various applications in the screen module 12, and thus cannot use various functions of the electronic device, thereby saving power consumption of the electronic device 1. When the screen module 12 is in the wake-up mode, the screen module 12 can be operated to use various functions of the electronic device 1, thereby consuming power consumption of the electronic device 1. The first prompt signal is a signal from the electronic device 1, which can be a text message, a phone signal, or a WeChat message. The preset image corresponding to the first prompt signal is an image showing the text message or WeChat message.

[0035] The present application provides an electronic device 1, comprising a modem 11 and a screen module 12, wherein the modem 11 is connected to the screen module 12. When the screen module 12 is in sleep mode, the electronic device 1 receives a first prompt signal, the modem 11 receives the first prompt signal, and the modem 11 transmits the first prompt signal to the screen module 12 after receiving the first prompt signal. After receiving the first prompt signal, the screen module 12 displays a preset image corresponding to the first prompt signal in sleep mode, thereby prompting the user that the electronic device 1 has received the first prompt signal, but does not switch the screen module 12 in sleep mode to wake-up mode, thereby saving power consumption of the electronic device 1 and avoiding waste of power consumption of the electronic device 1.

[0036] like Figure 2 As shown, in the embodiment of the present application, the screen module 12 also includes a micro control unit 121, which is connected to the modem to receive the first prompt signal and self-refresh the screen module 12 according to the first prompt signal to display the corresponding preset picture.

[0037] In this embodiment, the microcontroller unit 121 (MCU), also known as a single-chip microcomputer or single-chip microcomputer, is a CPU (central processing unit) 3 with appropriately reduced frequency and specifications. It integrates memory, timers, USB, A / D converters, UARTs, PLCs, DMA and other peripheral interfaces, and even LCD driver circuits, into a single chip, forming a chip-level computer that provides different control combinations for different applications.

[0038] In this embodiment, the electronic device 1 includes a modem 11 and a screen module 12. The screen module 12 includes a microcontroller unit 121. The microcontroller unit 121 is connected to the modem 11 to receive a first prompt signal sent by the modem 11 and self-refresh the screen module 12 according to the received first prompt signal. There is no need to use the central processing unit 3 of the electronic device 1 to refresh the screen module 12, and other components in the electronic device 1 except the screen module 12 will not be awakened, thereby reducing the waste of power consumption of the electronic device 1. After the microcontroller unit 121 self-refreshes the electronic device 1 according to the first prompt signal, a preset picture corresponding to the first prompt signal is displayed on the screen module 12, so that the user can confirm that the electronic device 1 has received the first prompt signal based on the preset picture displayed on the screen module 12. When the user believes that the corresponding first prompt signal is not important based on the preset picture on the screen module 12, the preset picture displayed on the screen module 12 can be turned off, and the electronic device may not wake up the screen module 12; when the user believes that the first prompt signal is important, the screen module 12 can be woken up by clicking the preset picture, so that the screen module 12 is in an awake state, so as to view and reply to the first prompt signal in detail.

[0039] like Figure 2 As shown, in an embodiment of the present application, the screen module 12 has a storage space 122, and the storage space 122 is used to store preset pictures. The microcontroller unit 121 self-refreshes the screen module 12 according to the first prompt signal so that the screen module 12 displays a preset picture corresponding to the first prompt signal. The preset picture is a picture that can display the first prompt signal. For example, when the first preset signal is a WeChat message, the preset picture is a WeChat message prompt picture. When the first preset signal is a text message, the preset picture is a text message prompt picture.

[0040] In this embodiment, the storage space 122 may be a space for storing pictures. The storage space 122 is relatively small and does not occupy too much memory. It is used to store the preset picture corresponding to the first prompt signal and does not store too many other files.

[0041] In this embodiment, the electronic device may be an electronic device with an Android system.

[0042] In this embodiment, electronic device 1 includes a modem 11 and a screen module 12. Screen module 12 includes a microcontroller unit 121. Screen module 12 has a storage space 122. Microcontroller unit 121 is connected to modem 11 to receive a first prompt signal sent by modem 11 and self-refresh screen module 12 based on the received first prompt signal. Self-refresh is a refresh performed by modem 11 on screen module 12 without requiring a refresh command from the central processing unit (CPU). This allows screen module 12 to update its display based on a preset image, while other components of electronic device 1 other than screen module 12 are not awakened, thereby reducing power consumption of electronic device 1. After microcontroller unit 121 self-refreshes electronic device 1 based on the first prompt signal, microcontroller unit 121 transmits a signal to storage space 122 to control storage space 122 to display the preset image corresponding to the first prompt signal on screen module 12, thereby avoiding the need for electronic device 1 to call CPU 3 and saving power.

[0043] In an embodiment of the present application, there are one or more first prompt signals, and there are one or more preset pictures; each of the first prompt signals corresponds to one of the preset pictures.

[0044] In this embodiment, the first prompt signal can be a WeChat message, a text message, or an application message. The type of the first prompt signal can be one or more, and can be set according to the user's needs, and is not limited here. The preset image is set according to the type of the first prompt signal. Each first prompt signal corresponds to a preset image representing the first prompt signal. The specific style of the preset image is set according to the image of the electronic device 1 receiving the corresponding first prompt signal in the normal state.

[0045] like Figure 2 As shown, in the embodiment of the present application, the modem 11 has a first controllable pin 111 , the micro control unit 121 has a second controllable pin 1211 , and the modem 11 and the micro control unit 121 are connected via the first controllable pin 111 and the second controllable pin 1211 .

[0046] In this embodiment, the first controllable pin 111 of the modem 11 is an output port of the modem 11, used for connecting to the microcontroller unit 121. The first controllable pin 111 is responsible for connecting the circuits of the modem 11 and the microcontroller unit 121, as well as for signal transmission. The second controllable pin 1211 of the microcontroller unit 121 is an output port of the microcontroller unit 121, used for the modem 11. The second controllable pin 1211 is responsible for connecting the circuits of the microcontroller unit 121 and the modem 11, as well as for signal transmission. The first controllable pin 111 can be an SPI or I2C interface, etc., and the second controllable pin 1211 can be an SPI or I2C interface, etc. The first controllable pin 111 and the second controllable pin 1211 can be the same interface or different interfaces. SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) is a serial peripheral interface, or I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit) is a bidirectional two-wire synchronous serial bus.

[0047] In this embodiment, the modem 11 is connected to the microcontroller unit 121 through the first controllable pin 111 of the modem 11 and the second controllable pin 1211 of the microcontroller unit 121, so that the first prompt signal received by the modem 11 is transmitted to the microcontroller unit 121, so that the microcontroller unit 121 self-refreshes the screen module 12 according to the first prompt signal, so that the electronic device 1 does not need to start the central processing unit 3, reducing the waste of power consumption of the electronic device 1, and the microcontroller unit 121 can make the screen module 12 display a preset picture corresponding to the first prompt signal, so that the user can be prompted by the display of the preset picture.

[0048] like Figure 3 As shown, in the embodiment of the present application, a central processing unit 3 is further included, the central processing unit 3 has an awake state and a sleep state, and the central processing unit 3 is connected to the screen module 12;

[0049] When the central processing unit 3 is in the awake state, the central processing unit 3 controls the screen module 12 to be in the awake mode;

[0050] When the central processing unit 3 is in a sleep state, the central processing unit 3 controls the screen module 12 to be in a sleep mode.

[0051] In this embodiment, the electronic device 1 includes a central processing unit 3, a modem 11, and a screen module 12. The central processing unit 3 is connected to the screen module 12 and is used to control and adjust the mode of the screen module 12. When the central processing unit 3 is in the awake state, the central processing unit 3 can control and process the electronic device 1 and control the screen module 12 to be in the awake mode. At this time, the user can operate the application displayed on the screen module 12 to use the various functions of the electronic device. When the central processing unit 3 is in the sleep state, the central processing unit 3 does not control the electronic device 1, thereby saving power consumption. When the central processing unit 3 is in the sleep state, it can control the screen module 12 to be in the sleep mode. At this time, the various applications in the screen module 12 cannot be operated, so the various functions of the electronic device cannot be used and the functions cannot be applied. In addition, the screen module 12 is also connected to the modem 11. When the screen module 12 is in wake-up mode under the control of the central processing unit 3, the modem 11 can receive the first prompt signal and transmit the first prompt signal to the micro control unit of the screen module 12 instead of transmitting it to the central processing unit 3, thereby reducing the waste of power consumption. The first prompt signal can be processed by the micro control unit, and the preset picture corresponding to the first prompt signal can be displayed on the screen module 12.

[0052] like Figure 3 As shown, in an embodiment of the present application, the modem 11 is also used to receive a second prompt signal, and the modem 11 is also connected to the central processing unit 3 to send a second prompt signal to the central processing unit 3. The central processing unit 3 switches from a sleep state to a wake-up state according to the second prompt signal, so that the screen module 12 switches from a sleep mode to a wake-up mode.

[0053] In this embodiment, the second prompt signal can be a signal of the electronic device 1, which is more important than the first prompt signal. It can be a telephone message, video message, or a signal of other information, or a prompt message of an application. Information that the user considers more important can be set as the second prompt signal, and there is no restriction here.

[0054] In an embodiment of the present application, the electronic device 1 includes a central processing unit 3, a modem 11 and a screen module 12. The central processing unit 3 is connected to the modem 11. When the central processing unit 3 is in a sleep state, the modem will transmit a second prompt signal to the central processing unit 3. After receiving the signal, the central processing unit 3 will change from a sleep state to a wake-up state. After the central processing unit 3 changes from a sleep state to a wake-up state, the central processing unit 3 will change the screen module 12 from a sleep mode to a wake-up mode. At this time, the central processing unit 3 can normally control and process the electronic device 1, so that the electronic device 1 can normally receive the second prompt signal, which is convenient for the user to view and process the second prompt signal.

[0055] In this embodiment, when the central processing unit 3 is in the awake state, the modem will transmit the second prompt signal to the central processing unit 3. At this time, the central processing unit 3 can normally control and process the electronic device 1 so that the electronic device 1 can normally receive the second prompt signal, making it convenient for the user to view and process the second prompt signal.

[0056] like Figure 3 As shown, in the embodiment of the present application, the central processor 3 is further configured to receive a third prompt signal and switch from a sleep state to a wake-up state according to the third prompt signal, so that the screen module 12 switches from a sleep mode to a wake-up mode.

[0057] In this embodiment, the third prompt signal may be a touch prompt signal or a key prompt signal.

[0058] In this embodiment, the electronic device 1 includes a central processing unit 3 and a screen module 12. After the electronic device 1 receives the third prompt signal, the central processing unit 3 directly receives the third prompt signal. When the central processing unit 3 is in a sleep state, the central processing unit 3 will change from a sleep state to a wake-up state after receiving the third prompt signal. After the central processing unit 3 changes from a sleep state to a wake-up state, the central processing unit 3 will change the screen module 12 from a sleep mode to a wake-up mode. At this time, the central processing unit 3 can normally control and process the electronic device 1, so that the electronic device 1 can normally receive the third prompt signal, which is convenient for the user to view and process the third prompt signal.

[0059] In the embodiment of the present application, when the central processing unit 3 receives the first prompt signal, the central processing unit 3 will not switch from the sleep state to the awake state.

[0060] In this embodiment, the electronic device 1 can receive a first prompt signal, a second prompt signal and a third prompt signal, which are divided according to the importance level into the third prompt signal having a higher importance level than the second prompt signal, and the second prompt signal having a higher importance level than the first prompt signal. Of course, the importance levels can also be divided according to user needs, and this is not limited to the following.

After receiving the first prompt signal, the microcontroller unit can self-refresh the screen module 12 so that the screen module 12 displays the preset picture corresponding to the first prompt signal, and the modem will not transmit the first prompt signal to the central processing unit 3, and the central processing unit 3 will not control the switching of the screen module 12 mode, thereby reducing the waste of power consumption of the electronic device 1 and achieving the purpose of saving electricity.

[0061] In the embodiment of the present application, the first prompt signal is a message prompt signal; the second prompt signal is a phone prompt signal;

[0062] The third prompt signal is a touch prompt signal.

[0063] In this embodiment, the first prompt signal, the second prompt signal and the third prompt signal may also be other prompt signals, which may be set according to user needs, as long as they are suitable for production and application, and are not limited here.

[0064] In this embodiment, when the central processing unit is in a dormant state and the screen module 12 is in a dormant mode, the electronic device 1 receives a first prompt signal, and the first prompt signal is transmitted to the second controllable pin 1211 of the microcontroller unit 121 of the screen module 12 through the first controllable pin 111 of the modem 11, so that the microcontroller unit 121 performs self-refresh on the screen module 12 according to the first prompt signal, so as to display a preset picture corresponding to the first prompt signal on the screen module 12, so that the electronic device 1 does not need to start the central processing unit 3, thereby reducing the waste of power consumption of the electronic device 1, and the microcontroller unit 121 can make The screen module 12 displays a preset picture corresponding to the first prompt signal, so that the user can be prompted by the display of the preset picture.
