Technical Field

[0002] Embodiments of the present application relate to the field of electronic device process control, and more specifically, to a method, apparatus, and electronic device for electronic device process control. Background Art

[0003] With the development of mobile Internet technology, the size of application packages is getting larger and larger, which also leads to increasing costs for downloading and installing applications. Especially during the batch installation and update process of applications, excessive costs will cause the device temperature to be too high, which in turn causes the device to freeze, seriously affecting the normal use of users.

[0004] Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present application provides a method, device, and electronic device for controlling electronic device processes. Through this method, device, or electronic device, when the current temperature or load of the electronic device reaches a certain level, some background application processes or startup processes of non-system applications are suppressed, so that the system load distribution is relatively balanced, and application freezes can be avoided.

[0006] In a first aspect, a method for controlling a process of an electronic device is provided, the method comprising: detecting a first event occurring in a first electronic device, the first event being a background installation event of a first application, or the first event being a startup event of a second application, the startup event being a startup event of the second application when the first electronic device is turned on; obtaining a current temperature or a current load of the first electronic device; determining whether it is necessary to suppress a first process based on the current temperature or the current load of the first electronic device, the first process being the process of the first event; and suppressing the first process when it is determined that the first process needs to be suppressed.

[0007] In some embodiments, the second application is a third-party application.

[0008] In an embodiment of the present application, when the current temperature or current load of the electronic device reaches a certain level, the application installation process in the non-foreground scenario can be suppressed, so that the foreground and backend loads of the system are relatively balanced, and the electronic device temperature is too high or the foreground application is stuck due to the sudden high load during the non-foreground application installation process. In addition, during the startup process of the electronic device, when the current temperature or current load of the electronic device reaches a certain level, the startup process of the non-system application can be suppressed, which can improve the smoothness of the startup of the electronic device and thus improve the user experience of the electronic device.

[0009] In combination with the first aspect, in one possible implementation, whether the first process needs to be suppressed is determined based on the current temperature or current load of the first electronic device, including: when the current temperature of the first electronic device is higher than a first threshold, or the current load of the first electronic device is higher than a second threshold, determining that the first process needs to be suppressed.

[0010] In some embodiments, the first threshold is 40° C., and the second threshold is 35%.

[0011] In an embodiment of the present application, when the current temperature or current load of the electronic device reaches a certain level, the application installation process in a non-foreground scenario or the startup process of a non-system application can be suppressed, so that the foreground and backend loads of the system are relatively balanced, and the running smoothness of the foreground application is improved, thereby improving the user experience of the electronic device.

[0012] In combination with the first aspect, in a possible implementation, the method also includes: when the current temperature of the first electronic device is lower than a third threshold and the current load of the first electronic device is lower than a fourth threshold, releasing the suppression of the first process, wherein the third threshold is less than or equal to the first threshold, and the fourth threshold is less than or equal to the second threshold.

[0013] In some embodiments, when the installation scenario of the first application is switched from a non-foreground scenario to a foreground scenario, the suppression of the installation process of the first application is released.

[0014] In some embodiments, the third threshold is 37° C., and the fourth threshold is 30%.

[0015] In the embodiments of the present application, when the current temperature and current load pressure of the electronic device are not high, the suppression of the application installation process or the startup process can be released, thereby improving the running smoothness of the foreground application, thereby improving the user experience of the electronic device. In addition, the threshold for releasing the suppression can be lower than the threshold for applying the suppression, which can prevent the application download process in non-foreground scenarios from frequently switching between the released and suppressed states, thereby further improving the user experience of the electronic device.

[0016] In combination with the first aspect, in a possible implementation, suppressing the first process includes: binding the first process to a small core of a central processing unit (CPU) of the first electronic device for execution.

[0017] In an embodiment of the present application, by binding the installation process of the first application or the startup process of the second application to the small core of the CPU, the power consumption of the electronic device can be reduced. Moreover, since the foreground application and the system application generally run on the large core of the CPU, it can also avoid the impact of the operation of the installation process of the first application or the startup process of the second application on the operation of the foreground task and the system application.

[0018] In combination with the first aspect, in a possible implementation method, suppressing the first process also includes: detecting whether the running time of the first process in the i-th cycle of the first electronic device is greater than the first time length; if the running time in the i-th cycle is greater than the first time length, stopping the running of the first process in the i-th cycle, where i is a positive integer, i=1,2,3,…

[0019] In some embodiments, the duration of the i-th cycle is the same as the duration of an operating cycle of the CPU of the first electronic device.

[0020] In an embodiment of the present application, by limiting the maximum duration that the installation process of the first application is allowed to run within the CPU's operating cycle, it is possible to avoid the impact on other background installation processes caused by the suppressed installation process of the first application occupying the CPU core for a long time.

[0021] In combination with the first aspect, in a possible implementation method, suppressing the first process also includes: when the first process enters the i+1th cycle of the first electronic device, starting the operation of the first process in the i+1th cycle; detecting whether the running time of the first process in the i+1th cycle of the first electronic device is greater than the first time length; if the running time in the i+1th cycle is greater than the first time length, stopping the operation of the first process in the i+1th cycle.

[0022] In one example, if it is detected that the running time in the first cycle is greater than the first time length, the running of the first process in the first cycle is stopped; when the first cycle ends, it is continued to detect whether the running time of the first process in the second cycle of the first electronic device is greater than the first time length; if the running time in the second cycle is greater than the first time length, the running of the first process in the second cycle is stopped, and so on.

[0023] In some embodiments, each cycle of the first electronic device is 100,000 ns, and the first time length is 50,000 ns; in some other embodiments, each cycle of the first electronic device is 20,000 ns, and the first time length is 10,000 ns; in some other embodiments, each cycle of the first electronic device is 10,000 ns, and the first time length is 5,000 ns.

[0024] It should be understood that the CPU can have multiple operating cycles. The embodiment of the present application limits the running time of the installation process of the first application in each of the multiple operating cycles of the CPU. When the running time stops in the first cycle of the CPU due to reaching the first time length, when the second cycle starts, the installation process of the first application can run again in the second cycle, and stop running in the second cycle after accumulating to the first time length again.

[0025] In an embodiment of the present application, by limiting the maximum duration that the installation process of the first application is allowed to run in each of multiple cycles of the CPU, it is possible to avoid the impact on other background installation processes caused by the suppressed installation process of the first application occupying the CPU core for a long time.

[0026] In combination with the first aspect, in one possible implementation, after stopping the first process from running in the i-th cycle, the method also includes: obtaining the suppression time of the first electronic device on the first process; when the suppression time reaches a second time, waking up the first process.

[0027] The suppression duration can be understood as the duration during which the first process is in a stopped state during the CPU operation.

[0028] The second duration may be a duration determined based on user input, or a duration automatically determined by the system, and this application does not impose any limitation on this.

[0029] In some embodiments, the value of the second duration is related to the priority of the first process. The lower the priority of the first process, the longer the second duration. The priority of the first process refers to the priority of the first process among all currently running processes.

[0030] In some embodiments, the second duration is greater than or equal to the duration of the i-th cycle.

[0031] In an embodiment of the present application, a reasonable wake-up delay is set for the installation process of the first application in a suppressed state, which can avoid the stagnation of the installation process of the first application due to the fact that the installation process of the first application in a suppressed state cannot be scheduled for a long time.

[0032] In a second aspect, an electronic device is provided, which includes: a detection module for detecting a first event occurring in the electronic device, where the first event is a background installation event of a first application, or the first event is a startup event of a second application, where the startup event is a startup event of the second application when the electronic device is turned on; an acquisition module for acquiring a current temperature or a current load of the electronic device; a judgment module for judging whether it is necessary to suppress a first process based on the current temperature or the current load of the electronic device, where the first process is the process of the first event; and a suppression module for suppressing the first process when it is determined that the first process needs to be suppressed.

[0033] In some embodiments, the second application is a third-party application.

[0034] In an embodiment of the present application, when the current temperature or current load of the electronic device reaches a certain level, the application installation process in the non-foreground scenario can be suppressed, so that the foreground and backend loads of the system are relatively balanced, and the electronic device temperature is too high or the foreground application is stuck due to the sudden high load during the non-foreground application installation process. In addition, during the startup process of the electronic device, when the current temperature or current load of the electronic device reaches a certain level, the startup process of the non-system application can be suppressed, which can improve the smoothness of the startup of the electronic device and thus improve the user experience of the electronic device.

[0035] In combination with the second aspect, in a possible implementation, the judgment module is specifically used to: when the current temperature of the electronic device is higher than a first threshold, or the current load of the electronic device is higher than a second threshold, determine that the first process needs to be suppressed.

[0036] In some embodiments, the first threshold is 40° C., and the second threshold is 35%.

[0037] In an embodiment of the present application, when the current temperature or current load of the electronic device reaches a certain level, the application installation process in a non-foreground scenario or the startup process of a non-system application can be suppressed, so that the foreground and backend loads of the system are relatively balanced, and the running smoothness of the foreground application is improved, thereby improving the user experience of the electronic device.

[0038] In combination with the second aspect, in one possible implementation, the device also includes: a decompression module, which is used to release the suppression of the first process when the current temperature of the electronic device is lower than a third threshold and the current load of the first electronic device is lower than a fourth threshold, wherein the third threshold is less than or equal to the first threshold, and the fourth threshold is less than or equal to the second threshold.

[0039] In some embodiments, when the installation scenario of the first application is switched from a non-foreground scenario to a foreground scenario, the suppression of the installation process of the first application is released.

[0040] In some embodiments, the third threshold is 37° C., and the fourth threshold is 30%.

[0041] In the embodiments of the present application, when the current temperature and current load pressure of the electronic device are not high, the suppression of the application installation process or the startup process can be released, thereby improving the running smoothness of the foreground application, thereby improving the user experience of the electronic device. In addition, the threshold for releasing the suppression can be lower than the threshold for applying the suppression, which can prevent the application download process in non-foreground scenarios from frequently switching between the released and suppressed states, thereby further improving the user experience of the electronic device.

[0042] In combination with the second aspect, in a possible implementation, the compression module is specifically used to: bind the first process to the central processing unit (CPU) small core of the electronic device to run.

[0043] In an embodiment of the present application, by binding the installation process of the first application or the startup process of the second application to the small core of the CPU, the power consumption of the electronic device can be reduced. Moreover, since the foreground application and the system application generally run on the large core of the CPU, it can also avoid the impact of the operation of the installation process of the first application or the startup process of the second application on the operation of the foreground task and the system application.

[0044] In combination with the second aspect, in a possible implementation method, the detection module is also used to: detect whether the running time of the first process in the i-th cycle of the electronic device is greater than the first time length; the suppression module is also specifically used to: when the running time of the first process in the i-th cycle of the electronic device is greater than the first time length, stop the running of the first process in the i-th cycle, where i is a positive integer, i=1,2,3,….

[0045] In some embodiments, the duration of the i-th cycle is the same as the duration of an operating cycle of a CPU of the electronic device.

[0046] In an embodiment of the present application, by limiting the maximum duration that the installation process of the first application is allowed to run within the CPU's operating cycle, it is possible to avoid the impact on other background installation processes caused by the suppressed installation process of the first application occupying the CPU core for a long time.

[0047] In combination with the first aspect, in a possible implementation, the electronic device further includes: a starting module, configured to start the operation of the first process in the (i+1)th cycle when the first process enters the (i+1)th cycle of the electronic device; the detection module is further configured to detect whether the running time of the first process in the (i+1)th cycle of the electronic device is greater than the first time length; the suppression module is further specifically configured to stop the operation of the first process in the (i+1)th cycle if the running time in the (i+1)th cycle is greater than the first time length.

[0048] In one example, if the detection module detects that the running time in the first cycle is greater than the first time length, the suppression module stops the running of the first process in the first cycle; when the first cycle ends, the detection module continues to detect whether the running time of the first process in the second cycle of the electronic device is greater than the first time length; if the running time in the second cycle is greater than the first time length, the suppression module stops the running of the first process in the second cycle, and so on.

[0049] In some embodiments, each cycle of the electronic device is 100,000 ns, and the first duration is 50,000 ns; in some other embodiments, each cycle of the electronic device is 20,000 ns, and the first duration is 10,000 ns; in some other embodiments, each cycle of the electronic device is 10,000 ns, and the first duration is 5,000 ns.

[0050] It should be understood that the CPU can have multiple operating cycles. The embodiment of the present application limits the running time of the installation process of the first application in each of the multiple operating cycles of the CPU. When the running time stops in the first cycle of the CPU due to reaching the first time length, when the second cycle starts, the installation process of the first application can run again in the second cycle, and stop running in the second cycle after accumulating to the first time length again.

[0051] In an embodiment of the present application, by limiting the maximum duration that the installation process of the first application is allowed to run in each of multiple cycles of the CPU, it is possible to avoid the impact on other background installation processes caused by the suppressed installation process of the first application occupying the CPU core for a long time.

[0052] In combination with the second aspect, in a possible implementation method, the acquisition module is also used to: after stopping the operation of the first process in the i-th cycle, obtain the suppression time of the first process by the electronic device; the suppression module is also specifically used to: when the suppression time reaches a second time, wake up the first process.

[0053] The suppression duration can be understood as the duration during which the first process is in a stopped state during the CPU operation.

[0054] The second duration may be a duration determined based on user input, or a duration automatically determined by the system, and this application does not impose any limitation on this.

[0055] In some embodiments, the value of the second duration is related to the priority of the first process. The lower the priority of the first process, the longer the second duration. The priority of the first process refers to the priority of the first process among all currently running processes.

In some embodiments, the processor 110 and the camera 193 communicate via the CSI interface to implement the camera function of the electronic device 100. The processor 110 and the display 194 communicate via the DSI interface to implement the display function of the electronic device 100.

[0091] The GPIO interface can be configured via software. The GPIO interface can be configured as either a control signal or a data signal. In some embodiments, the GPIO interface can be used to connect the processor 110 to the camera 193, display 194, wireless communication module 160, audio module 170, sensor module 180, etc. The GPIO interface can also be configured as an I2C interface, an I2S interface, a UART interface, a MIPI interface, etc.

The demodulator is used to demodulate the received electromagnetic wave signal into a low-frequency baseband signal. The demodulator then transmits the demodulated low-frequency baseband signal to the baseband processor for processing. After being processed by the baseband processor, the low-frequency baseband signal is passed to the application processor. The application processor outputs a sound signal through an audio device (not limited to the speaker 170A, the receiver 170B, etc.) or displays an image or video through the display screen 194. In some embodiments, the modem processor may be an independent device.

[0118] Pressure sensor 180A is used to sense pressure signals and convert them into electrical signals. In some embodiments, pressure sensor 180A can be located on display screen 194. There are many types of pressure sensors 180A, such as resistive, inductive, and capacitive. A capacitive pressure sensor can include at least two parallel plates made of conductive material. When force acts on pressure sensor 180A, the capacitance between the electrodes changes. Electronic device 100 determines the intensity of the pressure based on this change in capacitance. When a touch operation is applied to display screen 194, electronic device 100 detects the touch intensity based on pressure sensor 180A. Electronic device 100 can also calculate the touch location based on the detection signal from pressure sensor 180A. In some embodiments, touch operations applied to the same touch location but with different touch intensities can correspond to different operation instructions. For example, when a touch operation with an intensity less than a first pressure threshold is applied to a short message application icon, a command to view short messages is executed. When a touch operation with an intensity greater than or equal to the first pressure threshold is applied to a short message application icon, a command to create a new short message is executed.

In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 uses the temperature detected by the temperature sensor 180J to execute a temperature processing strategy. For example, when the temperature reported by the temperature sensor 180J exceeds a threshold, the electronic device 100 reduces the performance of the processor located near the temperature sensor 180J to reduce power consumption and implement thermal protection. In other embodiments, when the temperature is lower than another threshold, the electronic device 100 heats the battery 142 to prevent the electronic device 100 from shutting down abnormally due to low temperature.

For example, touch operations acting on different applications (such as taking pictures, audio playback, etc.) can correspond to different vibration feedback effects. For touch operations acting on different areas of the display screen 194, motor 191 can also correspond to different vibration feedback effects. Different application scenarios (for example: time reminders, receiving messages, alarm clocks, games, etc.) can also correspond to different vibration feedback effects. The touch vibration feedback effect can also support customization.

The types of the multiple cards can be the same or different. The SIM card interface 195 can also be compatible with different types of SIM cards. The SIM card interface 195 can also be compatible with external memory cards. The electronic device 100 interacts with the network through the SIM card to implement functions such as calls and data communications. In some embodiments, the electronic device 100 uses an embedded SIM (eSIM) card. The eSIM card can be embedded in the electronic device 100 and cannot be separated from the electronic device 100.

[0134] It should be understood that the phone cards in the embodiments of the present application include but are not limited to SIM cards, eSIM cards, universal subscriber identity modules (USIM), universal integrated circuit cards (UICC), and the like.

[0135] The software system of the electronic device 100 can adopt a layered architecture, an event-driven architecture, a micro-kernel architecture, a micro-service architecture, or a cloud architecture. In the embodiment of the present application, the Android system with a layered architecture is used as an example to illustrate the software structure of the electronic device 100.

[0136] Figure 2 is a software structure diagram of the electronic device 100 according to an embodiment of the present application. The layered architecture divides the software into several layers, each with clear roles and division of labor. The layers communicate with each other through software interfaces. In some embodiments, the Android system is divided into four layers, namely, the application layer, the application framework layer, the Android runtime (Android runtime) and the system library, and the kernel layer, from top to bottom. The application layer can include a series of application packages.

[0137] As shown in FIG2 , the application package may include applications such as camera, gallery, calendar, call, map, navigation, WLAN, Bluetooth, music, video, and short message.

[0138] The application framework layer provides an application programming interface (API) and programming framework for applications in the application layer. The application framework layer includes some predefined functions.

[0139] As shown in FIG2 , the application framework layer may include a window manager, a content provider, a view system, a telephony manager, a resource manager, a notification manager, and the like.

[0142] The view system includes visual controls, such as those for displaying text and images. The view system is used to build applications. A display interface can consist of one or more views. For example, a display interface containing a text notification icon might include a view for displaying text and a view for displaying images.

[0143] The phone manager is used to provide communication functions of the electronic device 100, such as management of call status (including answering, hanging up, etc.).

[0144] The resource manager provides various resources for applications, such as localized strings, icons, images, layout files, video files, and so on.

[0145] The Notification Manager allows applications to display notifications in the status bar. These messages can be displayed briefly and then disappear automatically without user interaction. For example, the Notification Manager is used to notify users of completed downloads and message reminders. The Notification Manager can also display notifications in the top status bar of the system as icons or scrolling text, such as notifications from background applications, or as dialog windows on the screen. Examples include text messages in the status bar, beeps, vibrations on electronic devices, and flashing indicator lights.

[0146] Android Runtime includes core libraries and a virtual machine. Android runtime is responsible for scheduling and management of the Android system.

[0147] The core library consists of two parts: one is the function that needs to be called by the Java language, and the other is the Android core library.

[0148] The application layer and application framework layer run in a virtual machine. The virtual machine executes Java files in the application layer and application framework layer as binary files. The virtual machine manages object lifecycles, stack management, thread management, security and exception management, and garbage collection.

[0153] A 2D graphics engine is a drawing engine for 2D drawings.

[0154] The kernel layer is the layer between hardware and software. The kernel layer includes at least display driver, camera driver, audio driver, and sensor driver.

[0155] It should be understood that the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application can be used in Android, IOS, Hongmeng and other systems.

[0156] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application can be applied to application download or installation scenarios of electronic devices, for example, can be applied to batch download or batch installation scenarios of applications.

[0157] The technical solution of the embodiment of the present application can also be applied to the startup scenario of an electronic device, for example, it can be applied to the background associated startup scenario of non-system applications within a certain period of time after the electronic device system is started.

[0158] The electronic device in the embodiment of the present application may be a laptop computer, or a portable electronic device such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a camera, a video camera, a video recorder, or other electronic devices with download or installation functions, electronic devices in a 5G network, or electronic devices in a future evolved public land mobile communication network (PLMN), etc. This application does not limit this.

[0159] With the development of mobile Internet technology, the size of application packages (for example, Android application packages (APK)) is getting larger and larger, which also leads to increasing overhead in downloading and installing applications. Especially during the process of batch installation and updating of applications, excessive overhead can cause the device temperature to be too high, which in turn causes the device to freeze, seriously affecting the normal use of users.

[0160] To address the above technical issues, the current method is: during the download or installation process of an application, when an electronic device overheats, the electronic device is frequency-limited, or the download or installation of the current application is stopped to alleviate the overheating of the electronic device.

[0161] However, although limiting the frequency of the entire electronic device can alleviate the overheating of the electronic device, it can easily cause the electronic device to freeze and affect the user's use of the foreground application on the electronic device; and stopping the download or installation of the application when the electronic device overheats is a way to solve the problem by ending the process. This not only fails to fundamentally solve the problem, but also seriously affects the user's installation and use needs for the application.

[0162] In view of this, embodiments of the present application provide a method for controlling electronic device processes and an electronic device. This method and electronic device can suppress background applications when the current temperature or load of the electronic device is too high, and can release the suppression of background applications when the current temperature and load of the electronic device are low, thereby making the system load relatively balanced and avoiding overheating and freezing caused by excessive load on the electronic device.

[0163] For example, taking the application installation scenario as an example, FIG3 shows a schematic flow chart of a method 300 for controlling an electronic device process provided by an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG3 , the method 300 includes:

[0164] S301: Detecting a first application installation event of an electronic device.

[0165] In some embodiments, the first application installation event may be, for example, an event of downloading and installing the first application through the application store of the first electronic device; for example, it may also be an event of automatically downloading and installing the new version of the first application when the system of the first electronic device detects a new version of the first application; for example, it may also be an event of confirming the download and installation of the first application as needed when the user uses certain functions of the first electronic device; it may also be an event of installing the first application through an installation package; it may also be an event of installing other applications, which is not limited in this application.

[0166] In some embodiments, when the package manager service (PMS) of the first electronic device receives a dexOat process notification, it is determined that a first application installation event of the electronic device is detected.

[0167] Among them, the dexOat process is the process of compiling and optimizing the dex files issued by the system, that is, converting the bytecode of the dex file into machine code that the system can execute in advance. Its purpose is to improve the system startup speed and smoothness during use. The dexOat process occupies a very important position in the system operation process. The dexOat process is involved in events such as application installation, screen sliding, and system startup.

[0168] Among them, the first application installation process described in the embodiment of the present application can be understood as one or more application installation processes.

[0169] S302: When the installation scenario of the first application is a non-foreground scenario, determine whether the installation process of the first application needs to be suppressed according to the current temperature or current load of the first electronic device.

[0170] Among them, the installation scenario of the first application is a non-foreground scenario, which means that the first application is not an application that is currently needed or about to be used. Specifically, it can be determined whether the current process is a foreground process or a background process based on the process of the application. The foreground process is the process displayed on the current interface and interacts with the user, and the background process is a process without user-visible activity. For example: a user downloads a first application through the application store of a first electronic device. During the download of the first application, the user is using other applications on the first electronic device. In this case, the first application is currently a background application and its installation scenario is a non-foreground scenario. For another example: when the background of the first electronic device detects that a new version of the first application that is not currently in use exists, the first electronic device downloads and installs the new version of the first application in the background (that is, the first application automatically updates its version in the background when it is idle). In this case, the new version of the first application is currently a background application and its installation scenario is a non-foreground scenario. For another example: when a user needs to download and install the first application before using a certain function of the browser, the first application is currently a foreground application and its installation scenario is a foreground scenario. Among them, the determination of whether the application is currently a foreground application or a background application (that is, the determination of whether the installation scenario of the application is a non-foreground scenario) is a conventional technology in this field and will not be repeated here.

[0171] The first application described in the embodiment of the present application is currently a background application, and can also be described as the installation process of the first application occurring in a non-foreground scenario, where the non-foreground scenario can be understood as a scenario where the first application is not currently needed or is about to be used.

[0172] In some embodiments, when the installation scenario of the first application is a non-foreground scenario, if the current temperature of the first electronic device is higher than a first threshold, or the current load of the first electronic device is higher than a second threshold, it is determined that the installation process of the first application needs to be suppressed.

[0173] The current temperature of the first electronic device refers to the current chip temperature of the first electronic device; and the current load of the first electronic device refers to the current central processing unit (CPU) load of the first electronic device.

[0174] S303: When it is determined that the installation process of the first application needs to be suppressed, suppress the installation process of the first application.

[0175] Suppressing the installation process of the first application may include reducing the installation speed of the first application, reducing the installation priority of the first application, or reducing both the installation speed and the installation priority of the first application. The specific method for suppressing the first application will be described in detail in subsequent embodiments.

[0176] In an embodiment of the present application, when the current temperature or current load of the electronic device reaches a certain level, the application installation process in the non-foreground scenario can be suppressed, so that the foreground and backend loads of the system are relatively balanced, and the electronic device temperature is avoided from being too high or the foreground application is stuck due to the sudden high load during the non-foreground application installation process, thereby improving the user experience of the electronic device.

[0177] For example, taking the application installation scenario as an example, FIG4 shows a schematic flow chart of another electronic device process control method 400 provided by an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG4, the method 400 includes:

[0178] S401: A first application installation event of an electronic device is detected.

[0179] The explanation of this step is the same as that of step S301 in the embodiment shown in FIG3 , and will not be repeated here for the sake of brevity.

[0180] S402: Determine that the installation scenario of the first application is a non-foreground scenario.

[0181] For the explanation of the non-foreground scenario, please refer to the relevant description in step S302 in the embodiment shown in FIG3 , which will not be repeated here for the sake of brevity.

[0182] S403: Determine whether the condition is met: the current temperature of the electronic device is higher than the first threshold or the current load of the electronic device is higher than the second threshold. If so, execute step S404; if not, execute step S405.

[0183] The current temperature of the first electronic device refers to the current chip temperature of the first electronic device; and the current load of the first electronic device refers to the current CPU load of the first electronic device.

[0184] The first threshold is a temperature threshold, and the value of the first threshold can be any value between 35°C and 50°C, for example, 40°C.

[0185] The second threshold is a load threshold, and the value of the second threshold can be any value between 30% and 50%, for example, 35%.

[0186] In some embodiments, step S403 may be performed periodically during the installation process of the first application.

[0187] S404: Suppress the installation process of the first application.

[0188] Suppressing the installation process of the first application may include reducing the installation speed of the first application, reducing the installation priority of the first application, or reducing both the installation speed and the installation priority of the first application. The specific method for suppressing the first application will be described in detail in subsequent embodiments.

[0189] It should be understood that after executing step S404, if the installation process of the first application is still in an incomplete state (i.e., the first application has not been installed completely), the process returns to step S403. In other words, for the installation process of the first application in a non-foreground scenario, the operation of determining whether to suppress the installation process is not performed only once, but is performed multiple times throughout the entire installation process of the first application (either periodically or through real-time monitoring).

[0190] S405: Do not suppress the installation process of the first application, or release the suppression of the installation process of the first application.

[0191] In some embodiments, when the installation scenario of the first application is the foreground scenario, the installation process of the first application will not be suppressed from beginning to end.

[0192] In some further embodiments, when the installation process of the first application is currently in an unsuppressed state, if the current temperature of the electronic device is lower than or equal to a first threshold, and the current load of the electronic device is lower than or equal to a second threshold, the installation process of the first application is not currently suppressed.

[0193] In some further embodiments, when the installation process of the first application is currently in a suppressed state, if the current temperature of the electronic device is lower than or equal to a first threshold and the current load of the electronic device is lower than or equal to a second threshold, the suppression of the installation process of the first application is released.

[0194] It should be understood that after executing step S404, if the installation process of the first application is still in an incomplete state (that is, the first application has not been installed completely), then return to step S403; similarly, after executing step S405, if the installation process of the first application is still in an incomplete state (that is, the first application has not been installed completely), then return to step S403. That is to say: for the installation process of the first application in a non-foreground scenario, the operation of determining whether it needs to suppress the installation process is not performed only once, but is performed multiple times in the entire installation process of the first application (it can be performed periodically or monitored in real time). It is suppressed when the suppression conditions are met, and the suppression is released when the suppression conditions are not met. In an example, if the temperature of the electronic device is higher than the first threshold in the first time period of the installation process, the installation process of the first application is suppressed in the first time period; when the installation process enters the second time period, the temperature of the electronic device is lower than the first threshold, and the load of the electronic device is less than the second threshold, the suppression of the installation process of the first application is released in the second time period; when the installation process enters the third time period, the load of the electronic device is higher than the second threshold, the installation process of the first application is suppressed in the third time period, and the decision is repeated in this way until the installation process of the first application is completed.

[0195] In some embodiments, when the installation scenario of the first application is switched from a non-foreground scenario to a foreground scenario, the suppression of the installation process of the first application is released.

[0196] In an embodiment of the present application, when the current temperature or current load of the electronic device reaches a certain level, the application installation process in the non-foreground scenario can be suppressed. When the current temperature and current load pressure of the electronic device are not large, the suppression of the application installation process can be released, so that the front-end and back-end loads of the system are relatively balanced. While allowing the application in the non-foreground scenario to be downloaded smoothly, it can avoid the electronic device temperature being too high or the foreground application being stuck due to the sudden high load during the non-foreground application installation process, thereby improving the user experience of the electronic device.

[0197] For example, taking the application installation scenario as an example, FIG5 shows a schematic flow chart of another electronic device process control method 500 provided by an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG5, the method 500 includes:

[0198] S501: When an installation event of a first application of an electronic device is detected in a non-foreground scenario, it is determined whether a suppression condition is met: the current temperature of the electronic device is higher than a first threshold, or the current load of the electronic device is higher than a second threshold. If so, step S502 is executed.

[0199] For the explanation of this step, please refer to the relevant description of steps S401 to S403 in the embodiment shown in FIG4 , which will not be repeated here for the sake of brevity.

[0200] S502: Suppress the installation process of the first application.

[0201] The explanation of this step is the same as that of step S404 in the embodiment shown in FIG. 4 , and will not be repeated here for the sake of brevity.

[0202] In one example, if the temperature of the electronic device is higher than a first threshold value in the first time period of the installation process, the installation process of the first application is suppressed in the first time period; when the installation process enters the second time period, the temperature of the electronic device is lower than a third threshold value, and the load of the electronic device is less than a fourth threshold value, the suppression of the installation process of the first application is lifted in the second time period; when the installation process enters the third time period, the load of the electronic device is higher than the second threshold value, the installation process of the first application is suppressed in the third time period, and the decision is repeated in this way until the installation process of the first application is completed.

[0203] S503: Determine whether the conditions for releasing the suppression are met: the current temperature of the electronic device is lower than the third threshold, and the current load of the electronic device is lower than the fourth threshold. If so, proceed to step S504.

[0204] The third threshold is a temperature threshold, which is lower than the first threshold. The third threshold can be any value between 30° C. and 50° C., for example, 37° C.

[0205] The fourth threshold is a load threshold, which is smaller than the second threshold. The value of the fourth threshold can be any value between 25% and 50%, for example, 30%.

[0206] It should be understood that step S503 is performed only when the installation process of the first application has not been completed. If the installation process of the first application has been completed (ie, the first application has been installed), the current process is terminated.

[0207] S504: Release the suppression of the installation process of the first application, and return to step S501.

[0208] For the explanation of this step, please refer to the relevant description of step S405 in the embodiment shown in FIG4 , which will not be repeated here for the sake of brevity.

[0209] In one example, if the temperature of the electronic device is higher than a first threshold value in the first time period of the installation process, the installation process of the first application is suppressed in the first time period; when the installation process enters the second time period, the temperature of the electronic device is lower than a third threshold value, and the load of the electronic device is less than a fourth threshold value, the suppression of the installation process of the first application is lifted in the second time period; when the installation process enters the third time period, the load of the electronic device is higher than the second threshold value, the installation process of the first application is suppressed in the third time period, and the decision is repeated in this way until the installation process of the first application is completed.

[0210] It should be understood that the process will return to step S501 only when the installation process of the first application has not been completed. If the installation process of the first application has been completed (ie, the first application has been installed), the current process will be terminated.

[0211] In an embodiment of the present application, when the current temperature or current load of the electronic device reaches a certain level, the application installation process in the non-foreground scenario can be suppressed, and when the current temperature and current load pressure of the electronic device are not large, the suppression of the application installation process can be released, so that the front-end and back-end loads of the system are relatively balanced, and while allowing the application in the non-foreground scenario to be downloaded smoothly, it can avoid the electronic device temperature being too high or the foreground application being stuck due to the sudden high load during the non-foreground application installation process. In addition, in this embodiment, the threshold for releasing the suppression is lower than the threshold for applying the suppression, which can avoid the application download process in the non-foreground scenario from frequently switching between the released and suppressed states, thereby further improving the user experience of the electronic device.

[0212] To more clearly understand the process of suppressing the installation process of the first application, illustratively, FIG6 shows a schematic flow chart of a method 600 for suppressing the installation process of the first application provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG6 , the method 600 includes:

[0213] S601: When it is determined that the installation process of the first application is to be suppressed, the installation process of the first application is bound to run on the small core of the CPU.

[0214] In some embodiments, when the installation process of the first application is not suppressed, the installation process of the first application runs on the large core of the CPU. When it is determined that the installation process of the first application needs to be suppressed, the system sends a scheduling instruction to the CPU. The scheduling instruction is used to instruct the installation process of the first application to be adjusted and bound to the small core of the CPU to continue running, wherein the running progress before and after the adjustment is not affected.

[0215] The CPU of an electronic device includes a large core, a medium core and a small core. Among them, the frequency of the small core is lower and the corresponding operating load is also lower. In this step, by binding the installation process of the first application to the small core, the power consumption of the electronic device can be reduced. Moreover, since the foreground application generally runs on the large core of the CPU, it can also avoid the impact of the operation of the foreground task due to the operation of the installation process of the first application.

[0216] S602: Determine whether the running time of the installation process of the first application in the first cycle of the CPU is greater than the first duration. If so, execute step S603; if not, execute step S604, wherein the duration of the first cycle is the same as the duration of an operating cycle of the CPU of the first electronic device.

[0217] It should be understood that the CPU of the first electronic device includes one or more operating cycles.

[0218] Optionally, the duration of the first cycle is the same as the duration of an operating cycle of the CPU core of the first electronic device.

[0219] Among them, the first period can be, for example, 20,000 nanoseconds; the first duration can be, for example, one-third of the first period, one-half of the first period, two-thirds of the first period, or any duration less than the first period determined by user input or the system.

[0220] In this step, the running time of the installation process of the first application in the first period is greater than the first time period, which means that the cumulative running time of the installation process of the first application in the first period is greater than the first time period.

[0221] S603: Stop the installation process of the first application in the first cycle.

[0222] S604: Continue the installation process of the first application in the first cycle and return to step S602.

[0223] That is, S602 may be executed continuously (eg, periodically) until the running time of the installation process of the first application in the first period is greater than the first time length.

[0224] S605: When the installation process of the first application enters the Nth cycle, start running the installation process of the first application in the Nth cycle.

[0225] Wherein, N is a positive integer, N=2, 3, 4, ..., and the duration of the Nth cycle is the same as the duration of one operation cycle of the CPU of the first electronic device.

[0226] S606: Determine whether the running time of the installation process of the first application in the Nth cycle is greater than the first time length. If so, execute step S607; if not, execute step S608.

[0227] S607: Stop the installation process of the first application in the Nth cycle.

[0228] S608: Continue the installation process of the first application in the Nth cycle and return to step S606.

[0229] That is to say, in the embodiment of the present application, the running time of the installation process of the first application in each of the multiple cycles of the CPU is limited. When the running time reaches the first time length in the first cycle of the CPU and stops running, when the second cycle starts, the installation process of the first application can be run again in the second cycle, and after accumulating to the first time length again, it stops running in the second cycle, and so on, until the installation process of the first application ends. In some embodiments, when step S601 is executed before steps S602-S603, the above-mentioned first cycle refers to an operating cycle of the CPU small core of the first electronic device, and the installation process of the first application runs on the CPU small core; when step S601 is not executed before steps S602-S603, the above-mentioned first cycle may refer to an operating cycle of the CPU large core of the first electronic device or an operating cycle of the CPU medium core of the first electronic device, and the installation process of the first application runs on the CPU large core or the CPU medium core.

[0230] In this step, by limiting the maximum duration of the first application's installation process allowed to run in each of multiple cycles, it is possible to avoid the suppressed first application's installation process occupying the CPU core for a long time and affecting other background installation processes.

[0231] It should be noted that the specific implementation process and implementation order of step S601 and step S602-step S604 are not necessarily related, and the two can be implemented independently or in combination. For example, only step S601 can be executed, that is, the installation process of the first application can be suppressed by binding the installation process of the first application to the CPU small core of the first electronic device; steps S602-S604 can also be executed, that is, the installation process of the first application can be suppressed by controlling the maximum running time of the installation process of the first application on the CPU core of the first electronic device; steps S601-S604 can also be executed, that is, the installation process of the first application can be suppressed by binding the installation process of the first application to the CPU small core of the first electronic device and controlling the maximum running time of the installation process of the first application on the CPU small core of the first electronic device.

[0232] For example, FIG7 shows a schematic flow chart of another method 700 for suppressing the installation process of a first application provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG7 , the method 700 includes:

[0233] S701 to S703 are the same as S601 to S603 in the embodiment shown in FIG6 , and are not described again for the sake of brevity.

[0234] S704: Determine whether the duration of suppressing the installation process of the first application reaches a second duration. If so, execute step S705; if not, execute step S706.

[0235] The suppression duration can be understood as the duration during which the installation process of the first application is in a stopped state while the CPU is running.

[0236] The second duration may be a duration determined based on user input or a duration automatically determined by the system, and this application does not impose any limitation on this.

[0237] In some embodiments, the value of the second duration is related to the priority of the installation process of the first application. The lower the priority of the installation process of the first application, the longer the second duration. The priority of the installation process of the first application refers to the priority of the installation process of the first application among all current installation event processes.

[0238] In some embodiments, the second duration is greater than or equal to the first period, or the second duration is less than the difference between the first period and the first duration.

[0239] S705: Wake up the installation process of the first application and release the suppression of the installation process of the first application.

[0240] In this step, a reasonable wake-up delay is set for the installation process of the first application in the suppressed state, which can avoid the stagnation of the installation process of the first application due to the installation process of the first application being in the suppressed state for a long time and not being scheduled.

[0241] In one example, each cycle of the first electronic device is 100,000ns, the first duration is 50,000ns, and the second duration is 120,000ns. When the cumulative running time of the installation process of the first application in the first cycle reaches 50,000ns, the running of the installation process of the first application in the first cycle is stopped, and the timing of the suppression duration is started at this time. If it is detected that the suppression duration exceeds 120,000ns and the installation process of the first application is not started in the second cycle, the installation process of the first application is woken up.

[0242] S706: Keep the installation process of the first application stopped, and return to step S704 to continue judging.

[0243] That is, S706 may be executed continuously (eg, periodically) until the suppression time of the installation process of the first application is greater than the second time.

[0244] It should be noted that the specific implementation process and implementation order of step S701, step S702-step S703, and step S704-step S706 are not necessarily related. The three can be implemented independently or in combination. For example, only step S701 can be executed, that is, the installation process of the first application is suppressed by binding the installation process of the first application to the CPU small core of the first electronic device; steps S702-S703 can also be executed, that is, the installation process of the first application is suppressed by controlling the maximum running time of the installation process of the first application on the CPU core of the first electronic device; steps S701-S703 can also be executed, that is, the installation process of the first application is suppressed by binding the installation process of the first application to the CPU small core of the first electronic device and controlling the maximum running time of the installation process of the first application on the CPU small core of the first electronic device. Suppression of the installation process; Steps S702-S706 can also be executed to suppress the installation process of the first application by controlling the maximum running time of the installation process of the first application on the CPU core of the first electronic device, and wake up the installation process of the first application when the suppression time reaches a second time; Steps S701-S706 can also be executed, namely: by binding the installation process of the first application to run on the CPU small core of the first electronic device, and controlling the maximum running time of the installation process of the first application on the CPU small core of the first electronic device to suppress the installation process of the first application, and wake up the installation process of the first application when the suppression time reaches the second time.

[0245] For example, FIG8 shows a schematic flow chart of another method 800 for controlling a process of an electronic device provided by an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG8 , the method 800 includes:

[0246] S801: When it is detected that the system has an installation process of a first application, it is determined whether the installation process of the first application is in a suppressed state. If so, step S802 is executed; if not, step S803 is executed.

[0247] Here, S801 is periodically executed after the installation process of the first application is detected until the installation process of the first application is completed.

[0248] In some embodiments, when the package manager service (PMS) of the first electronic device receives a dexOat process notification, it determines that an installation process of the first application is detected in the system.

[0249] In some embodiments, when the installation process of the first application is bound to the CPU small core for execution, it is determined that the installation process of the first application is in a suppressed state.

[0250] In some embodiments, when the installation process speed of the first application is significantly lower than a normal installation speed, it is determined that the installation process of the first application is in a suppressed state.

[0251] S802: Determine whether it is necessary to release the suppression of the installation process of the first application. If necessary, execute step S804.

[0252] The method for determining whether to release the suppression of the installation process of the first application is described in detail in the embodiments shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 , and will not be repeated here for the sake of brevity.

[0253] S803: Determine whether the installation process of the first application needs to be suppressed. If so, execute step S805.

[0254] The method for determining whether the installation process of the first application needs to be suppressed has been described in detail in the embodiments shown in FIG. 3 to FIG. 5 , and will not be repeated here for the sake of brevity.

[0255] S804: Release the suppression of the installation process of the first application.

[0256] S805: Suppress the installation process of the first application.

[0257] The method for suppressing the installation process of the first application is described in detail in the embodiments shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. 7 , and will not be repeated here for the sake of brevity.

[0258] Optionally, in this embodiment, the installation process of the first application can be replaced by the startup process of the first application, wherein the first application is a non-system application.

[0259] In order to more clearly reflect the beneficial effects of the embodiments provided in the present application, the performance curves corresponding to the method for electronic device process control provided in the embodiments of the present application are introduced below by way of example in combination with Figures 9 and 10.

[0260] For example, Figure 9 shows a load change curve corresponding to the suppression of the installation process of the first application using the electronic device process control method provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 9, before suppressing the installation process of the first application, the load of the electronic device experienced sudden increases and decreases, and the overall load of the electronic device was at a high level; after suppressing the installation process of the first application, the load level of the electronic device was relatively stable throughout the test time, and the load of the electronic device remained at a low level throughout the test time.

[0261] It can be seen from this that by using the electronic device process control method provided in the embodiment of the present application to suppress the installation process of the first application, the overall load of the electronic device can be made more stable, and the suppression of sudden processes can be achieved, thereby avoiding the occurrence of application freezes and maintaining the smooth operation of the foreground application.

[0262] For example, Figure 10 shows a temperature change curve before and after suppressing the installation process of a first application using the electronic device process control method provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 10, before suppressing the installation process of the first application, the chip temperature of the electronic device is generally at a high level; after suppressing the installation process of the first application, the chip temperature of the electronic device is lower than the lowest temperature before suppressing, and the chip temperature of the electronic device remains within a reasonable range throughout the test time.

[0263] It can be seen from this that by using the electronic device process control method provided in the embodiment of the present application to suppress the installation process of the first application, the chip temperature of the electronic device can be maintained within a more reasonable range, overheating of the electronic device can be avoided, and system power consumption can be reduced.

[0264] For example, FIG11 shows a functional module diagram of an electronic device process control device 1100 provided in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG11 , the device 1100 includes:

[0265] The detection module 1110 is configured to detect a first application installation event of the electronic device.

[0266] In some embodiments, the first application installation event may be, for example, an event of downloading and installing the first application through the application store of the first electronic device; for example, it may also be an event of automatically downloading and installing the new version of the first application when the system of the first electronic device detects a new version of the first application; for example, it may also be an event of confirming the download and installation of the first application as needed when the user uses certain functions of the first electronic device; it may also be an event of installing the first application through an installation package; it may also be an event of installing other applications, which is not limited in this application.

[0267] In some embodiments, when the package manager service (PMS) of the first electronic device receives a dexOat process notification, the detection module 1110 determines that a first application installation event of the electronic device is detected.

[0268] Among them, the first application installation process described in the embodiment of the present application can be understood as one or more application installation processes.

[0269] The judgment module 1120 is configured to judge whether the installation process of the first application needs to be suppressed according to the current temperature or current load of the first electronic device when the installation scenario of the first application is a non-foreground scenario.

[0270] Among them, the installation scenario of the first application is a non-foreground scenario, which means that the first application is not an application that is currently needed or is about to be used. Specifically, it can be determined whether the current process is a foreground process or a background process based on the process of the application. The foreground process is the process displayed on the current interface and interacts with the user. The background process refers to a process without user-visible activity. For example: a user downloads a first application through the application store of a first electronic device. During the download of the first application, the user is using other applications on the first electronic device. In this case, the first application is currently a background application and its installation scenario is a non-foreground scenario. For another example: when the background of the first electronic device detects that a new version of the first application that is not currently in use exists, it downloads and installs the new version of the first application (that is, when the first application is idle, the version is automatically updated in the background). In this case, the new version of the first application is currently a background application and its installation scenario is a non-foreground scenario. For another example: when a user needs to download and install the first application before using a certain function of the browser, the first application is currently a foreground application and its installation scenario is a foreground scenario. Among them, the determination of whether the application is currently a foreground application or a background application (that is, the determination of whether the installation scenario of the application is a non-foreground scenario) is a conventional technology in this field and will not be repeated here.

[0271] The first application described in the embodiment of the present application is currently a background application, and can also be described as the installation process of the first application occurring in a non-foreground scenario, where the non-foreground scenario can be understood as a scenario where the first application is not currently needed or is about to be used.

[0272] In some embodiments, when the installation scenario of the first application is a non-foreground scenario, if the current temperature of the first electronic device is higher than a first threshold, or the current load of the first electronic device is higher than a second threshold, the judgment module 1120 determines that the installation process of the first application needs to be suppressed.

[0273] The first threshold is a temperature threshold, and the value of the first threshold can be any value between 35°C and 50°C, for example, 40°C.

[0274] The second threshold is a load threshold, and the value of the second threshold can be any value between 30% and 50%, for example, 35%.

[0275] The current temperature of the first electronic device refers to the current chip temperature of the first electronic device; and the current load of the first electronic device refers to the current central processing unit (CPU) load of the first electronic device.

[0276] The suppression module 1130 is configured to suppress the installation process of the first application when it is determined that the installation process of the first application needs to be suppressed.

[0277] Suppressing the installation process of the first application may include reducing the installation speed of the first application, reducing the installation priority of the first application, or reducing both the installation speed and the installation priority of the first application. The specific method by which the suppression module 1130 suppresses the first application is described in the embodiments shown in FIG6 and FIG7 , and is not further described here for the sake of brevity.

[0278] In some embodiments, the device 1100 further includes a decompression module, which is configured to decompress the installation process of the first application when it is necessary to decompress the installation process of the first application.

[0279] In some embodiments, when the installation process of the first application is currently in a suppressed state, if the current temperature of the electronic device is lower than or equal to a first threshold and the current load of the electronic device is lower than or equal to a second threshold, the suppression of the installation process of the first application is released.

[0280] In some further embodiments, when the installation process of the first application is currently in a suppressed state, if the current temperature of the electronic device is lower than or equal to a third threshold and the current load of the electronic device is lower than or equal to a fourth threshold, the suppression of the installation process of the first application is released.

[0281] The third threshold is a temperature threshold, which is lower than the first threshold. The third threshold can be any value between 30° C. and 50° C., for example, 37° C.

[0282] The fourth threshold is a load threshold, which is smaller than the second threshold. The value of the fourth threshold can be any value between 25% and 50%, for example, 30%.

[0283] In an embodiment of the present application, when the current temperature or current load of the electronic device reaches a certain level, the application installation process in the non-foreground scenario can be suppressed, so that the foreground and backend loads of the system are relatively balanced, and the electronic device temperature is avoided from being too high or the foreground application is stuck due to the sudden high load during the non-foreground application installation process, thereby improving the user experience of the electronic device.

[0284] It should be understood that the embodiments provided in this application are illustrated using the application installation scenario as an example, but this does not limit the scenarios to which the present application solution is applicable.

[0285] In one example, the startup items of an electronic device include a first application, a second application, a third application, and a fourth application, wherein the first application and the second application are non-system applications. Then, when the electronic device is powered on, if the suppression conditions are met (for an explanation of the suppression conditions, see the relevant description in the embodiments shown in any one of Figures 3 to 7), the startup of the first application and the second application is suppressed (which may be by suppressing their startup speed, etc.) to improve the system fluency of the electronic device.
