Description

Processing method of terminal device and related apparatus

[0001] The present application claims priority to the Chinese patent application No. 202410744004.4, filed on June 7, 2024, and entitled "Processing method of terminal device and related apparatus", the content of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The present application relates to the technical field of terminal, in particular to a processing method of terminal device and related apparatus. BACKGROUND

[0003] In the field of terminal, the components of terminal device need to be initialized when starting or waking up. For example, after the kernel of the terminal device receives a screen starting or waking up instruction, the instruction can be reported to the application layer / service layer first, then the application layer / service layer issues a screen-on request to the screen driver in the kernel of the terminal device, and the screen driver can control the screen to perform initialization operation after receiving the request.

[0004] However, it is found in use that the time required for the components of the terminal device to start or wake up is long, and the user experience is poor. SUMMARY

[0005] The present application provides a processing method of terminal device and related apparatus, which can shorten the time length of starting or waking up the components of the terminal device.

[0006] In a first aspect, the present application provides a processing method of terminal device, which is applied to a first driver for driving a first component of the terminal device. The method comprises: receiving a first instruction, the first instruction being used to request to start or wake up the first component; controlling the first component to perform initialization operation; and transmitting first indication information before the initialization operation of the first component is completed, the first indication information indicating that the initialization operation of the first component is completed.

[0007] As an example, the first component can include a screen, an audio device, a touch screen (TP), an embedded memory (eMMC), etc.

[0008] When the first component is a screen, the first driver can be a screen driver.

[0009] When the first component is an audio device, the first driver can be an audio driver.

[0010] When the first component is a TP, the first driver can be a TP driver.

[0011] When the first component is an eMMC, the first driver can be an eMMC driver.

[0012] Taking the first component as a screen as an example, the screen driver can transmit first indication information to an application layer or a service layer in the terminal device before a screen initialization operation is completed, the first indication information indicating that the screen initialization operation is completed. Correspondingly, after receiving the first indication information, the application layer or the service layer in the terminal device can perform drawing and rendering based on the first indication information to obtain picture display data, and transmit the obtained picture display data to the screen driver, and then the screen driver can control the screen to output the picture display data.

[0013] In this method, the first driver can transmit the first indication information without waiting for the completion of the initialization operation of the first component, which can shorten the total time length of the initialization of the first component and the acquisition of data, and is beneficial to shorten the time length of the startup and wake-up of the first component, as compared with the prior art in which the first driver transmits the first indication information after the completion of the initialization operation of the first component.

[0014] In some possible implementation manners, the first driver is deployed in a main core of the terminal device, and the terminal device further includes an auxiliary core, and the auxiliary core includes a second driver, and the second driver is configured to drive the first component.

[0015] The control of the first component to perform the initialization operation includes that the first driver transmits second indication information to the second driver, and the second indication information indicates that the second driver controls the first component to perform the initialization operation.

[0016] In this implementation manner, the auxiliary core is used to control the first component to perform the initialization operation, that is, the main core does not need to be used to control the first component to perform the initialization operation, which can reduce the computing power requirement of the main core, thereby reducing the load of the main core and being beneficial to improve the system performance.

[0017] In some possible implementation manners, the terminal device further includes an application layer or a service layer.

[0018] The transmission of the first indication information includes that, after the first driver transmits the second indication information to the second driver, the first driver transmits the first indication information to the application layer or the service layer, and a time interval between a transmission time of the second indication information and a transmission time of the first indication information is less than or equal to a preset time length.

[0019] In this implementation manner, the preset time length can be much smaller than a time length of the initialization operation of the first component, which can further shorten the total time length of the initialization of the first component and the acquisition of data, and is beneficial to shorten the time length of the startup and wake-up of the first component.

[0020] In some possible implementation manners, the method further includes: the first driver receiving first data; the first driver receiving third indication information from the second driver, the third indication information indicating that the initialization operation of the first component has been confirmed to be completed; and the first driver controlling the first component to output the first data based on a time when the third indication information is received and a time when the first data is received.

[0021] Optionally, the first data can be data generated after the application layer or the service layer of the terminal device receives the first indication information.

[0022] For example, the first component is a screen, and the first data can be picture display data obtained after the application layer or the service layer of the terminal device performs drawing or rendering after receiving the first indication information.

[0023] In the method, the first driver can control the first component to output the first data based on the time when the third indication information is received and the time when the first data is received, so as to facilitate ensuring that the control logic of the first component is normal, and avoiding a problem that the first component cannot normally output data due to logic confusion when the first driver and the second driver simultaneously control the first component.

[0024] In some possible implementation manners, the time when the third indication information is received is earlier than the time when the first data is received.

[0025] The control of the first component to output the first data includes: after the first driver receives the first data, the first driver controls the first component to output the first data.

[0026] In the implementation manner, the time when the third indication information is received is earlier than the time when the first data is received, that is, the time length required by the initialization operation of the first component is less than the time length required by the first driver to obtain the first data from the application layer or the service layer of the terminal device. In this case, after the first driver receives the first data, the first driver can normally control the first component to output the first data.

[0027] In some possible implementation manners, the time when the third indication information is received is later than the time when the first data is received.

[0028] The control of the first component to output the first data includes: after the first driver receives the first data, the first driver stores all or part of the data in the first data; and after the first driver receives the third indication information, the first driver controls the first component to output all or part of the data in the first data.

[0029] Alternatively, the method further comprises: deleting the first data after the first driver receives the first data; and controlling the first component to output second data if the first driver receives the second data after receiving the third indication information.

[0030] Optionally, in the case that the data output by the first component is fixed data, or in the case that the data output by the first component does not change over time, when the first driver receives the first data, the initialization operation of the first component has not been completed, at this time the first component is controlled by the second driver in the auxiliary core, and the first driver can store all or part of the first data. After the initialization operation of the first component is completed, the second driver in the auxiliary core can no longer control the first component, and at this time the first driver can control the first component to output all or part of the first data.

[0031] Optionally, in the case that the data output by the first component is dynamic data, or in the case that the data output by the first component changes in real time over time, when the first driver receives the first data, the initialization operation of the first component has not been completed, at this time the first component is controlled by the second driver in the auxiliary core. After the initialization operation of the first component is completed, the second driver in the auxiliary core can no longer control the first component, and after the initialization operation of the first component is completed, the data to be displayed by the terminal device changes, so the first data can be deleted, and after the first driver receives second data, the first component is controlled to output the second data.

[0032] In a second aspect, a processing apparatus of a terminal device is provided. The processing apparatus can be used in the terminal device of the first aspect. The processing apparatus can be the terminal device, or a device (for example, a chip, a chip system, or a circuit) in the terminal device, or a logic module or software capable of realizing all or part of the functions of the terminal device. In a possible implementation, the processing apparatus includes modules or units for implementing the method in the first aspect and any possible implementation manner of the first aspect. For example, the processing apparatus can include modules or units corresponding to the method described in the first aspect. The modules or units can be hardware circuits, software, or a combination of hardware circuits and software. Optionally, each module or unit can realize the corresponding function by executing a computer program.

[0033] In a third aspect, a processing apparatus of a terminal device is provided. The processing apparatus includes a processor configured to cause the apparatus to perform the method in the first aspect and any possible implementation manner of the first aspect by executing a computer program (or computer executable instructions) stored in a memory.

[0034] In a possible implementation, the apparatus further includes a memory.

[0035] In a possible implementation, the processor and the memory are integrated together.

[0036] In another possible implementation, the memory is located outside the processing apparatus.

[0037] In a possible implementation, the processing apparatus further includes a communication interface, which is configured to perform communication, such as transmission or reception of data and / or signals, between the processing apparatus and other devices. For example, the communication interface can be a transceiver, a circuit, a bus, a module, or other types of communication interfaces.

The media library can support multiple audio and video encoding formats, such as JPG, PNG, and the like. The three-dimensional graphics processing library is used to implement three-dimensional graphics drawing, image rendering, synthesis, and layer processing. The recognition algorithm module can be used for sign language recognition, voice recognition, and text semantic recognition. Among them, sign language recognition refers to recognizing voice or text into sign language, voice recognition refers to recognizing sign language or text into voice, and text semantic recognition refers to recognizing sign language or voice into text.

[0104] The HAL layer is a packaging of the Linux kernel driver, which provides an interface upward and shields the implementation details of the low-level hardware.

[0105] As an example, the HAL layer can include a sensor HAL, an audio HAL, a screen HAL, a touch pad (TP) HAL, and an embedded multi mMedia card (eMMC) HAL, and the like.

[0106] The kernel layer is a layer between hardware and software. The kernel layer is used to drive hardware to work. As an example, the kernel layer can include a sensor driver, an audio driver, a screen driver, a TP driver, an eMMC driver, and the like. Among them, the sensor driver is a driver corresponding to a sensor, the audio driver is a driver layer of a device (such as a speaker) related to audio, the screen driver is a driver corresponding to a screen, the TP driver is a driver corresponding to a TP, and the eMMC driver is a driver corresponding to an eMMC.

[0107] In an embodiment of the present application, the audio driver can include a driver corresponding to a speaker, a driver corresponding to a receiver, and a driver corresponding to a microphone.

[0108] In an embodiment of the present application, the terminal device can include a main core and an auxiliary core, and the kernel layer can be deployed in both the main core and the auxiliary core. The hardware driver in the kernel layer of the main core and the hardware driver in the kernel layer of the auxiliary core can be the same or different. For example, the kernel layer of the main core and the kernel layer of the auxiliary core can both include a sensor driver, an audio driver, a screen driver, and a TP driver. The kernel layer of the main core can include an eMMC driver, and the kernel layer of the auxiliary core can not include the eMMC driver.

[0109] In an embodiment of the present application, the kernel layer can also be referred to as a kernel.

[0110] It can be understood that the software structure of the terminal device in the embodiment shown in FIG. 2 is only a simple example and does not limit the scope of the present application.

[0111] In the field of terminals, when a component of a terminal device starts or wakes up, an initialization operation needs to be performed first. In some scenarios, for example, when the system of the terminal device starts or the system standby wakes up, the screen of the terminal device needs to be initialized before the screen is turned on.

[0112] Currently, a method for turning on the screen of a terminal device can be as shown in FIG. 3.

[0113] In S301, the screen driver in the kernel of the terminal device receives a screen start or wake-up instruction.

[0114] In the method, when the system of the terminal device starts or the system standby wakes up, the kernel of the terminal device can receive a screen start or wake-up instruction. Optionally, the screen start or wake-up instruction can be received by the screen driver in the kernel of the terminal device.

[0115] As an example, when the terminal device is in a shutdown state, after a user clicks a power-on button, the screen driver in the kernel of the terminal device can receive a screen start or wake-up instruction.

[0116] As another example, when the terminal device is in a screen-off state, after the user clicks a key, a screen, or other screen-on indication, or after the terminal device receives information sent by another terminal device, the screen driver in the kernel of the terminal device can receive a screen start or wake-up instruction.

[0117] S302, the kernel of the terminal device transmits the screen start or wake-up instruction to the application layer / service layer of the terminal device. Correspondingly, the application layer / service layer receives the screen start or wake-up instruction.

[0118] S303, the application layer / service layer issues a screen-on request to the screen driver in the kernel of the terminal device. Correspondingly, the screen driver in the kernel of the terminal device receives the screen-on request.

[0119] S304, the screen driver controls the screen to perform an initialization operation.

[0120] In this method, controlling the screen to perform an initialization operation can include controlling the screen to power on, issuing an initialization sequence, controlling screen-on, and configuring a register switch state, etc.

[0121] S305, after the screen driver controls the screen to perform an initialization operation, the screen driver transmits an initialization completion indication to the application layer / service layer of the terminal device.

[0122] S306, the application layer / service layer of the terminal device performs drawing and rendering to obtain picture display data.

[0123] S307, the application layer / service layer of the terminal device transmits the picture display data to the screen driver. Correspondingly, the screen driver receives the picture display data.

[0124] S308, the screen driver controls the screen to display the picture display data.

[0125] Optionally, in another method, when the system of the terminal device is started or the system is in standby wake-up, all components in the terminal device can need to be pre-initialized first, and then the screen of the terminal device is turned on.

[0126] In this case, the method for turning on the screen of the terminal device can be as shown in FIG. 4.

[0127] S401, the screen driver in the kernel of the terminal device receives a screen start or wake-up instruction.

[0128] S402, the kernel of the terminal device transmits the screen start or wake-up instruction to the application layer / service layer of the terminal device. Correspondingly, the application layer / service layer receives the screen start or wake-up instruction.

[0129] S403, the application layer / service layer respectively issues an initialization request to each driver. Correspondingly, each driver in the terminal device kernel receives the initialization request.

[0130] Suppose the components of the terminal device include eMMC, a screen, a TP, and an audio device, the application layer / service layer can respectively issue an initialization request to the eMMC driver, the screen driver, the TP driver, and the audio driver.

[0131] S404, each driver respectively controls the corresponding component to perform an initialization operation.

[0132] The eMMC driver can control the eMMC to perform an initialization operation, the screen driver can control the screen to perform an initialization operation, the TP driver can control the TP to perform an initialization operation, and the audio driver can control the audio device to perform an initialization operation.

[0133] Optionally, the eMMC initialization operation, the screen initialization operation, the TP initialization operation, and the audio device initialization operation can be performed in parallel or in series.

[0134] S405, after the component corresponding to each driver in the kernel of the terminal device completes the initialization operation, each driver transmits indication information of completion of initialization to the application layer / service layer of the terminal device.

[0135] S406, the application layer / service layer of the terminal device draws and renders to obtain picture display data.

[0136] S407, the application layer / service layer of the terminal device transmits the picture display data to the screen driver. Correspondingly, the screen driver receives the picture display data.

[0137] S408, the screen driver controls the screen to display the picture display data.

[0138] In the method, when the component initialization is performed in parallel, the total initialization time is equal to the maximum time length in each component initialization time length. When the component initialization is performed in series, the total initialization time is equal to the sum of each component initialization time length.

[0139] In use, it is found that the time required for starting the component or waking up the component based on the method shown in FIG. 3 or FIG. 4 is long, and the user experience is poor.

[0140] Therefore, the present application provides a processing method of a terminal device, which is used to solve the problem that the time required for starting or waking up the component of the terminal device in the prior art is long.

[0141] In the technical solution of the present application, when the component of the terminal device is started or woken up, the kernel of the terminal device can transmit the indication information of the initialization completion to the application layer / service layer of the terminal device before the initialization of the component is completed, so that the total time length of the initialization operation and the data acquisition of the application layer / service layer can be saved, the time length of the component startup and wake-up can be shortened, and the user experience can be improved.

[0142] Next, the present application will be described in detail in combination with FIGS. 5 to 15.

[0143] FIG. 5 is a flowchart of a processing method of a terminal device provided in an embodiment of the present application. The method can be applied to the terminal device shown in FIG. 1. Specifically, the method can be executed by the terminal device, or can be executed by a component (such as a chip, a chip system, etc.) applied to the terminal device, or can also be implemented by a logic module or software capable of realizing all or part of the functions of the terminal device, for example, can be implemented by an application or a service in the operating system of the terminal device, and the present application does not limit this.

[0144] As an example, the method can be implemented by a driver of the terminal device, the driver can be used to drive the component in the terminal device, and the driver can be deployed in the terminal device.

[0145] Optionally, the driver can include one or more of the drivers of the terminal device shown in FIG. 2.

[0146] Optionally, in some embodiments, the driver of the terminal device can also be deployed independently of the terminal device. Subsequently, the present application will be described by taking the driver deployed in the terminal device as an example.

[0147] S501, the first driver receives a first instruction, and the first instruction is used to request to start or wake up the first component.

[0148] In the method, the first component can be a peripheral component of the terminal device. As an example, the first component can include a screen, an audio device, a TP, an eMMC, etc.

[0149] In the method, the first driver can be used to drive the first component, and the first driver can be deployed in the terminal device.

[0150] When the first component is a screen, the first driver can be a screen driver. In one example, when the terminal device is in a power-off state, after a user clicks a power-on button, the screen driver in the terminal device can receive a first instruction for requesting to start or wake up the screen. In another example, when the terminal device is in a screen-off state, after a user clicks a button, a screen, or other screen-on indication, or after the terminal device receives information sent by another terminal device, the screen driver in the terminal device can receive a first instruction for requesting to start or wake up the screen.

[0151] When the first component is an audio device, the first driver can be an audio driver. In one example, when a user clicks a play audio button, the audio driver in the terminal device can receive a first instruction for requesting to start or wake up the audio device.

[0152] When the first component is a TP, the first driver can be a TP driver. In one example, after a user clicks a touch screen, the TP driver in the terminal device can receive a first instruction for requesting to start or wake up the touch screen.

[0153] When the first component is an eMMC, the first driver can be an eMMC driver. In one example, when data in the terminal device needs to be stored or transmitted, the eMMC driver in the terminal device can receive a first instruction for requesting to start or wake up the eMMC.

[0154] S502, the first driver controls the first component to perform an initialization operation.

[0155] In some embodiments, the terminal device can include a main core and an auxiliary core, the first driver can be deployed in the main core of the terminal device, and the auxiliary core can include a second driver, which can also be used to drive the first component.

[0156] In this embodiment, when the first driver controls the first component to perform an initialization operation, the first driver can also control the first component to perform an initialization operation through the second driver.

[0157] Optionally, the method in which the first driver controls the first component to perform an initialization operation through the second driver can include: the first driver transmits second indication information to the second driver, the second indication information indicating that the second driver controls the first component to perform an initialization operation. Correspondingly, after the second driver receives the second indication information, the second driver can control the first component to perform an initialization operation.

[0158] In this method, the process in which the second driver controls the first component to perform an initialization operation can refer to the process in which the screen driver controls the screen to perform an initialization operation shown in FIG. 3, and details are not described herein again.

[0159] In the method, the first component is controlled to perform the initialization operation by the auxiliary core, that is, the main core is not used to control the first component to perform the initialization operation, the computing power requirement of the main core is reduced, the load of the main core is reduced, and system performance is improved.

[0160] In a first possible implementation, the method in which the first driver transmits the second indication information to the second driver can include: the first driver transmitting the second indication information to the second driver through an application layer or a service layer in the terminal device.

[0161] For example, after the first driver receives the first instruction, the first driver can report the first instruction to the application layer or the service layer. After the application layer or the service layer receives the first instruction, the application layer or the service layer can transmit indication information that the first component needs to perform an initialization operation to the first driver. After the first driver receives the indication information, the first driver can transmit the second indication information to the second driver.

[0162] In this implementation, the step of determining whether the first component needs to perform an initialization operation can be performed by the application layer or the service layer, which further reduces the computing power requirement of the main core, reduces the load of the main core, and improves system performance.

[0163] In a second possible implementation, after the first driver receives the first instruction, the first driver can determine that the first component needs to perform an initialization operation, and then transmit the second indication information to the second driver.

[0164] In this implementation, the first driver does not need to interact with the application layer or the service layer, the time length for controlling the first component to perform the initialization operation can be shortened, and the time length for starting or waking up the first component can be shortened.

[0165] Optionally, in some embodiments, before the first driver in the terminal device controls the first component to perform an initialization operation, the initialization operation of the component can be classified based on a preset classification method to obtain a classification result, and then it is determined whether the first component is controlled to perform the initialization operation by the auxiliary core based on the classification result.

[0166] The classification result includes an initialization operation that can be executed asynchronously and an initialization operation that can only be executed synchronously.

[0167] The initialization operation that can be executed asynchronously can be understood as an initialization operation that can be controlled by a driver in the auxiliary core to be executed by the first component. The initialization operation that can only be executed synchronously can be understood as an initialization operation that can only be controlled by a driver in the main core to be executed by the first component.

[0168] Optionally, the preset classification method can be determined based on the drivers deployed in the main core and the auxiliary core.

[0169] As an example, as shown in FIG. 6, assuming that the eMMC driver, the screen driver, the TP driver and the audio driver can be contained in the main core, and assuming that the screen driver, the TP driver and the audio driver can be contained in the auxiliary core, the screen initialization operation, the TP initialization operation and the audio initialization operation are initialization operations that can be executed asynchronously, and the eMMC initialization operation is an initialization operation that can only be executed synchronously.

[0170] In this example, assuming that the first instruction is used to request to start or wake up the screen, the screen driver in the main core can control the screen to execute the initialization operation through the screen driver in the auxiliary core. In this case, the screen driver in the main core can be a first driver, and the screen driver in the auxiliary core can be a second driver.

[0171] Assuming that the first instruction is used to request to start or wake up the TP, the TP driver in the main core can control the TP to execute the initialization operation through the TP driver in the auxiliary core. In this case, the TP driver in the main core can be a first driver, and the TP driver in the auxiliary core can be a second driver.

[0172] Assuming that the first instruction is used to request to start or wake up the audio device, the audio driver in the main core can control the audio device to execute the initialization operation through the audio driver in the auxiliary core. In this case, the audio driver in the main core can be a first driver, and the audio driver in the auxiliary core can be a second driver.

[0173] Assuming that the first instruction is used to request to start or wake up the eMMC, the eMMC driver in the main core controls the audio device to execute the initialization operation.

[0174] Optionally, in some embodiments, the preset classification method can be input in advance by a user.

[0175] S503, the first driver transmits first indication information before the initialization operation of the first component is completed, and the first indication information indicates that the initialization operation of the first component is completed.

[0176] In this method, the first driver can transmit the first indication information to an application layer or a service layer in the terminal device. Correspondingly, after the application layer or the service layer in the terminal device receives the first indication information, the application layer or the service layer can obtain data based on the first indication information, and transmit the obtained data to the first driver, and then the first driver can control the first component to output the data.

[0177] As an example, taking a screen as the first component, the screen driver in the main core can transmit first indication information to the application layer or the service layer in the terminal device before the screen initialization operation is completed, where the first indication information indicates that the screen initialization operation is completed. Correspondingly, after receiving the first indication information, the application layer or the service layer in the terminal device can perform drawing and rendering based on the first indication information to obtain picture display data, and transmit the obtained picture display data to the screen driver in the main core, and then the screen driver in the main core can control the screen to output the picture display data.

[0178] In the method, the first driver can transmit the first indication information without waiting for the completion of the initialization operation of the first component, compared with the prior art in which the first driver transmits the first indication information after the completion of the initialization operation of the first component, the total time length of the initialization of the first component and the acquisition of data can be shortened, which is beneficial to shorten the time length of the startup and wake-up of the first component.

[0179] Optionally, when the first driver can control the first component to perform the initialization operation through the second driver, the first driver transmitting the first indication information to the application layer or the service layer in the terminal device can include: after the first driver transmits the second indication information to the second driver, the first driver transmits the first indication information to the application layer or the service layer.

[0180] The time interval between the transmission time of the second indication information and the transmission time of the first indication information can be less than or equal to a preset time length.

[0181] The preset time length can be a relatively short time length. As an example, the preset time length can be 1 millisecond (ms).

[0182] In the method, the preset time length can be much smaller than the time length of the initialization operation of the first component, and the total time length of the initialization of the first component and the acquisition of data can be further shortened, which is beneficial to shorten the time length of the startup and wake-up of the first component.

[0183] In the technical solution of the present application, after the first driver transmits the first indication information, the first driver can further receive the first data and acquire third indication information from the second driver, where the third indication information indicates that the initialization operation of the first component is confirmed to be completed, and then the first driver controls the first component to output the first data based on the reception time of the third indication information and the reception time of the first data.

[0184] Optionally, the first data can be data generated by the application layer or the service layer in the terminal device after receiving the first indication information.

[0185] As an example, taking a screen as the first component, the first data can be picture display data obtained after the application layer or the service layer in the terminal device performs drawing, rendering and other operations after receiving the first indication information.

[0186] In an example, when the receiving time of the third indication information is earlier than the receiving time of the first data, the first driving controls the first component to output the first data, which can include that after the first driving receives the first data, the first component can be controlled to output the first data.

[0187] In this example, the receiving time of the third indication information is earlier than the receiving time of the first data, that is, the time length required for the initialization operation of the first component is less than the time length for the first driving to obtain the first data from the application layer or the service layer of the terminal device. In this case, after the first driving receives the first data, the first component can be normally controlled to output the first data.

[0188] In a possible implementation, assuming that the first driving transmits the second indication information to the second driving through the application layer or the service layer in the terminal device, the starting or waking time length of the first component can be as shown in FIG. 7.

[0189] In this example, the starting or waking time length of the first component can include the waking time length of the application layer or the service layer and the time length for the application layer or the service layer to obtain the first data.

[0190] In this example, the time length for the application layer or the service layer to obtain the first data can include the time length for the first component to perform the initialization operation. Alternatively, the time for the second driving to control the first component to perform the initialization operation is within the time for the first driving to obtain the first data from the application layer or the service layer.

[0191] In this example, the time length for the application layer or the service layer to obtain the first data can include the time length for the first component to perform the initialization operation. Alternatively, the time for the second driving to control the first component to perform the initialization operation is within the time for the first driving to obtain the first data from the application layer or the service layer.

[0192] In another possible implementation, assuming that the first driving directly transmits the second indication information to the second driving, the starting or waking time length of the first component can be as shown in FIG. 8.

[0193] In this example, the starting or waking time length of the first component can not include the waking time length of the application layer or the service layer, or the starting or waking time length of the first component can include the time length for the application layer or the service layer to obtain the first data.

[0194] In this example, the time length for the application layer or the service layer to obtain the first data can include the time length for the first component to perform the initialization operation. Alternatively, the time for the second driving to control the first component to perform the initialization operation is within the time for the first driving to obtain the first data from the application layer or the service layer. In this example, the time length for the application layer or the service layer to obtain the first data can include the time length for the first component to perform the initialization operation. Alternatively, the time for the second driving to control the first component to perform the initialization operation is within the time for the first driving to obtain the first data from the application layer or the service layer.

[0195] The time length for the application layer or the service layer to obtain the data can include a time length required from the first driver transmitting the first indication information to the application layer or the service layer to the first driver receiving the first data from the application layer or the service layer.

[0196] In another example, when the receiving time of the third indication information is later than the receiving time of the first data, the first driver controlling the first component to output the first data can include: after the first driver receiving the first data, storing all or part of the data in the first data; after the first driver receiving the third indication information, controlling the first component to output all or part of the data in the first data.

[0197] This example can be applied to the case where the data output by the first component is fixed data. Or in other words, the case where the data output by the first component does not change over time.

[0198] In this example, the receiving time of the third indication information is later than the receiving time of the first data, that is, the time length required for the initialization operation of the first component is greater than the time length for the first driver to obtain the first data from the application layer or the service layer of the terminal device.

[0199] In this case, when the first driver receives the first data, the initialization operation of the first component has not been completed, at this time the first component is controlled by the second driver in the auxiliary core, and the first driver can store all or part of the data in the first data. After the initialization operation of the first component is completed, the second driver in the auxiliary core can no longer control the first component, and at this time the first driver can control the first component to output all or part of the data in the first data.

[0200] In a possible implementation, assuming that the first driver transmits the second indication information to the second driver through the application layer or the service layer in the terminal device, the starting or waking up time length of the first component can be as shown in FIG. 9.

[0201] In this example, the starting or waking up time length of the first component can include the waking up time length of the application layer or the service layer and the time length for the first component to perform the initialization operation.

[0202] In this example, the time length for the first component to perform the initialization operation can include the time length for the application layer or the service layer to obtain the first data. Or in other words, the time for the first driver to obtain the first data from the application layer or the service layer is within the time for the second driver to control the first component to perform the initialization operation.

[0203] The wake-up time length of the application layer or the service layer can include a time length required for the first driver to transmit the first instruction to the application layer or the service layer and a time length required for the application layer or the service layer to transmit the second instruction information to the first driver. The time length for the first component to perform the initialization operation can include a time length required between the transmission of the second instruction information from the first driver to the second driver and the transmission of the third instruction information from the second driver to the first driver.

[0204] In another possible implementation, assuming that the first driver directly transmits the second instruction information to the second driver, the starting or wake-up time length of the first component can be as shown in FIG. 10.

[0205] In this example, the starting or wake-up time length of the first component can not include the wake-up time length of the application layer or the service layer, or in other words, the starting or wake-up time length of the first component can include the time length for the first component to perform the initialization operation.

[0206] In this example, the time length for the first component to perform the initialization operation can include a time length for the application layer or the service layer to obtain the first data. In other words, the time for the first driver to obtain the first data from the application layer or the service layer is within the time for the second driver to control the first component to perform the initialization operation.

[0207] The time length for the first component to perform the initialization operation can include a time length required between the transmission of the second instruction information from the first driver to the second driver and the transmission of the third instruction information from the second driver to the first driver.

[0208] In yet another example, when the receiving time of the third instruction information is later than the receiving time of the first data, the first driver can further delete the first data after receiving the first data; after the first driver receives the third instruction information, if the first driver receives second data, the first driver controls the first component to output the second data.

[0209] This example can be applicable to a case where the data output by the first component is dynamic data. In other words, the data output by the first component changes in real time within a period of time.

[0210] In this example, when the first driver receives the first data, the initialization operation of the first component has not been completed, and at this time, the first component is controlled by the second driver in the auxiliary core. After the initialization operation of the first component is completed, the second driver in the auxiliary core can no longer control the first component, and after the initialization operation of the first component is completed, the data to be displayed by the terminal device changes, so the first data can be deleted, and after the first driver receives the second data, the first component is controlled to output the second data.

[0211] In this example, the first data can be data that is not to be output, and by deleting the first data, useless data can be avoided from occupying storage space, which is conducive to improving the utilization rate of the storage space.

[0212] In a possible implementation, assuming that the first drive transmits the second indication information to the second drive through an application layer or a service layer in the terminal device, the starting or waking up duration of the first component can be as shown in FIG. 11.

[0213] In this example, the starting or waking up duration of the first component can include the waking up duration of the application layer or the service layer, the duration for the first component to perform the initialization operation, and the duration from completion of the initialization operation of the first component to reception of the second data by the first drive.

[0214] In this example, the duration for the first component to perform the initialization operation can include the duration for the application layer or the service layer to obtain the first data. Alternatively, the time for the first drive to obtain the first data from the application layer or the service layer is within the time for the second drive to control the first component to perform the initialization operation.

[0215] In this example, the duration for the first component to perform the initialization operation can include the duration for the first drive to transmit the second indication information to the second drive and the duration required for the second drive to transmit the third indication information to the first drive.

[0216] In another possible implementation, assuming that the first drive directly transmits the second indication information to the second drive, the starting or waking up duration of the first component can be as shown in FIG. 12.

[0217] In this example, the starting or waking up duration of the first component can not include the waking up duration of the application layer or the service layer, or the starting or waking up duration of the first component can include the duration for the first component to perform the initialization operation and the duration from completion of the initialization operation of the first component to reception of the second data by the first drive.

[0218] In this example, the duration for the first component to perform the initialization operation can include the duration for the application layer or the service layer to obtain the first data. Alternatively, the time for the first drive to obtain the first data from the application layer or the service layer is within the time for the second drive to control the first component to perform the initialization operation.

[0219] In this example, the duration for the first component to perform the initialization operation can include the duration for the first drive to transmit the second indication information to the second drive and the duration required for the second drive to transmit the third indication information to the first drive.

[0220] In the method, the first driver can control the first component to output the first data based on the receiving moment of the third indication information and the receiving moment of the first data, so as to ensure the normal control logic of the first component, and avoid the problem that the first component cannot normally output data due to logic confusion when the first driver and the second driver simultaneously control the first component.

[0221] Next, the application will take the first component as a screen, the first driver as a screen driver in a primary core, and the second driver as a screen driver in an auxiliary core as an example to further introduce the processing method of the terminal device.

[0222] FIG. 13 is a flow diagram of a processing method of a terminal device according to an embodiment of the application.

[0223] In the method, the screen driver in the primary core can be referred to as a primary screen driver, and the screen driver in the auxiliary core can be referred to as an auxiliary screen driver.

[0224] S1301, the primary screen driver receives a first instruction, and the first instruction is used to request to start or wake up the screen.

[0225] S1302, the primary screen driver transmits the first instruction to an application layer or a service layer. Correspondingly, the application layer or the service layer receives the first instruction.

[0226] S1303, the application layer or the service layer transmits indication information that the screen needs to perform an initialization operation to the primary screen driver. Correspondingly, the primary screen driver receives the indication information.
