With the rapid development of electronic technology, many electronic products have more and more application functions. Electronic devices are also used more and more frequently. This also places an increasing demand on the power of the electronic devices, resulting in power consumption problems becoming more and more pronounced. Power consumption issues run from the background to the public's line of sight and are becoming more and more of a concern. How to improve the efficiency of analyzing the power consumption problem is getting more and more important.

The embodiment of the disclosure provides a power consumption management and control method. FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a method of managing power consumption, according to an exemplary embodiment. As shown in fig. 1, the power consumption control method includes:

step 10, determining the function application executed under the current running state of the terminal equipment;

step 11, determining a power consumption level corresponding to the functional application based on the functional application;

and step 12, if the determined power consumption level reaches the preset power consumption level, adjusting the power consumption level of the terminal equipment in the current running state based on the determined power consumption level, the current electric quantity endurance state of the terminal equipment and the execution requirement of the executed function application.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal device may be a mobile terminal or a fixed terminal, including: cell phones, notebooks, cameras, etc. The executed function applications may include any application of the terminal device, such as invoking camera photographing, video display, audio playing, etc.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the determining, based on the functional application, a power consumption level corresponding to the functional application includes:

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the power consumption class division may be established in advance, the power consumption class is divided into a plurality of classes, the first power consumption class may be defined as the highest power consumption class, and the corresponding power consumption is indicated to be higher. For example, the power consumption being greater than the first power consumption threshold is a first power consumption level; the power consumption is of a second power consumption level between the first power consumption threshold and the second power consumption threshold; the power consumption lower than the second power consumption threshold is third-stage power consumption, etc. The first power consumption threshold is greater than the second power consumption threshold. And when the power consumption corresponding to the function application is determined to be larger than the first power consumption threshold, determining the power consumption level corresponding to the function application as the first power consumption level.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the predetermined power consumption level may be determined as a power consumption level at which the current power consumption needs to be managed, for example, the predetermined power consumption level is determined as a first power consumption level. When the determined power consumption level reaches a preset power consumption level, namely a first power consumption level, the fact that the power consumption of the terminal equipment in the current running state is higher is indicated, and the power consumption needs to be controlled. At this time, the power consumption level of the terminal device in the current running state can be adjusted based on the determined power consumption level, the current power consumption duration state of the terminal device and the execution requirement of the executed function application.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the execution requirement of the function application can be used for representing the like degree of a user on the lower function application or the like degree of the lower function application. When the execution requirement of the functional application exceeds the requirement standard, the functional application is higher in popularity by users. For example, the frequency of execution within the preset time is high, exceeding the preset frequency, or the duration of execution is long, exceeding the preset duration.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the determination of the frequency of execution or the duration of execution within the preset time may be determined according to the historical usage data of the function application of the terminal device. Such as historical usage data for the function application, a higher or lower frequency of use for the function application, or a higher or lower frequency of use, a longer or shorter time of use, etc. within a preset period of time. The historical use data shows that the use frequency is higher, and the user is characterized to be more favored; historical usage data shows less frequent usage and characterizes the user as disliked.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, when the determined power consumption level reaches the predetermined power consumption level and the power consumption management and control needs to be performed on the terminal equipment, whether the execution requirement of the function application exceeds the requirement standard is further determined, and when the execution requirement of the function application exceeds the requirement standard, the power consumption level of the terminal equipment in the current running state is adjusted based on the electric quantity continuous running state of the current terminal equipment, so that the power consumption management and control in the running state of the terminal equipment is comprehensively considered more comprehensively, and further the improvement of the power consumption management and control quality is facilitated.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, when adjusting the power consumption level of the current running state of the terminal device based on the electric quantity endurance state of the current terminal device, it is first determined whether the electric quantity endurance state of the current terminal device reaches a predetermined electric quantity endurance intensity. If the electric quantity duration state does not reach the preset electric quantity duration strength, the electric quantity of the current terminal equipment is lower, and the power consumption level corresponding to the function application needs to be reduced, so that the service duration of the electric quantity is prolonged, and the user experience is improved.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, if the electric quantity duration state reaches the preset electric quantity duration strength, it is indicated that the electric quantity of the current terminal device is higher, and under the condition that the electric quantity meets the requirement, the power consumption level corresponding to the function application can be temporarily not required to be reduced, that is, the power consumption level corresponding to the function application executed under the current running state of the terminal device is maintained unchanged.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, it is determined that the execution requirement of the function application does not exceed the requirement standard, which indicates that the function application is not popular with the user, and the function application is executed less frequently or used for a shorter time, so that the power consumption level does not need to be changed.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the predetermined electric quantity duration may be determined as a second electric quantity duration with weaker electric quantity duration. When the power consumption level of the function application is higher, for example, the first power consumption level, and the power consumption duration state is weaker, for example, the second power consumption duration strength, the power consumption level of the terminal device in the current running state needs to be adjusted according to the execution requirement of the executed function application. For example, the function application executed at this time has an execution requirement exceeding the requirement standard, including: the frequency of the function application being executed within the preset time exceeds the preset frequency, and/or the duration of the function application being executed continuously exceeds the preset duration. At this point the power consumption level of the functional application needs to be downgraded. For example from a first level power consumption to a third level power consumption. Table 1 is a table of electric quantity endurance, and as shown in table 1, the electric quantity endurance of which the electric quantity exceeds 50% can be determined as the first electric quantity endurance intensity; and determining the electric quantity endurance capacity of which the electric quantity is lower than 50% as the second electric quantity endurance strength.

Table 1 electric quantity cruising ability comparison table

Electric quantity	More than 50 percent	Below 50%
			Electric quantity endurance	First electric quantity endurance intensity	Second electric quantity endurance intensity

In some embodiments, the power consumption level includes at least:

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the power consumption value corresponding to the first-stage power consumption is greater than the power consumption value corresponding to the second-stage power consumption, and the power consumption value corresponding to the second-stage power consumption is greater than the power consumption value corresponding to the third-stage power consumption.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the first power consumption level may be defined as the highest power consumption level, and the third power consumption level may be defined as the lowest power consumption level. When it is determined that the power consumption level of the functional application reaches a predetermined power consumption level, for example, a first power consumption level. At this time, it is explained that the power consumption of the current terminal device function application is relatively high. When the power consumption level is required to be reduced, the first-stage power consumption of the terminal equipment in the current running state can be adjusted to be the second-stage power consumption, or the first-stage power consumption of the terminal equipment in the current running state can be adjusted to be the third-stage power consumption, so that the effect of reducing the power consumption is achieved, and the service life of the electric quantity is prolonged appropriately.

If the power consumption level of the current functional application is already at the lowest level, for example the third power consumption level, no adjustment of the power consumption level in the current operating state of the terminal device is required at this time.

If the electric quantity duration of the current circuit duration state is strong, for example, the electric quantity is sufficient, the power consumption level of the terminal equipment in the current running state can be temporarily not adjusted at the moment. Through the adjustment of the power consumption level, the service time of the terminal equipment is prolonged as much as possible, and the power consumption loss and waste are reduced.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the function application can be determined as an application scene when the camera application program runs; the pixel clock may be used to control the acquisition rate of the pixels as the camera acquires an image. One pixel point of the pixel clock corresponds to one clock, and the sampling manner may be sampling according to a rising edge or a falling edge of the clock, for example, one pixel point corresponds to a rising edge or a falling edge of the clock. It is understood in the present application that the time interval between a rising edge and an adjacent falling edge is determined as a clock period of a pixel clock. The smaller the clock period, the faster the pixel clock. The mapping relation between the pixel clock and the power consumption level comprises: the more rising edges or falling edges of the pixel clock in a unit time, the higher the acquisition rate of the pixels, the faster the graph efficiency and the greater the power consumption. Table 2 shows the power consumption level versus pixel clock. As shown in table 2, that is, the first pixel clock corresponds to the first level power consumption, the second pixel clock corresponds to the second level power consumption, and the third pixel clock corresponds to the third level power consumption, wherein the clock period of the first pixel clock is smaller than the clock period of the second pixel clock, and the clock period of the second pixel clock is smaller than the clock period of the third pixel clock. Table 3 is a usage frequency table of the scenario. As shown in table 3, the camera usage scene may include modes such as normal preview, high definition photographing, HDR photographing, video recording, portrait, etc. The frequency of use of each mode is different and can be divided into high and low. The frequency above the predetermined frequency is a high frequency and the frequency below the predetermined frequency is a low frequency.

Table 2 power consumption level and pixel clock comparison table

				Pixel clock	First pixel clock	Second pixel clock	Third pixel clock

Table 3 usage frequency table of scenario

Scene(s)	Ordinary previews	High definition photographing	HDR photographing	Video recording	Portrait figure
						Frequency of use	High height	Low and low	Low and low	Low and low	High height

When the scene is evaluated as high, it indicates that there are many users using the scene, in this case, the user experience is mainly required, and the power consumption level is reduced by one level based on the triggered level, for example, in the scene of the current normal preview, the triggered power consumption level is "high", but the normal preview is preferred by the user, and is evaluated as "strong", in order to ensure the user experience, the triggered power consumption level is reduced by one level, and the triggered power consumption level is "medium".

When the scenario is evaluated low, it is interpreted that the scenario is rarely used by users, and the power consumption level triggered under the scenario remains unchanged. For example, the current scene is "high definition shooting", the scene is liked to be "low", the power consumption level triggered at this time is "strong", the user experience is not required to be considered, and the power consumption trigger level is maintained to be "strong".

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the pixel clock is related to pixel acquisition in a camera application scene, and is also related to power consumption. The smaller the clock period of the pixel clock, the higher the pixel acquisition frequency and the higher the power consumption. When the clock period of the pixel clock is increased, the pixel acquisition frequency is reduced, and the power consumption is reduced. Therefore, the power consumption corresponding to the application scene in the current running state can be reduced by adjusting the pixel clock.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, a mapping relation between camera chip parameters and the pixel clock can be established. The camera chip parameters at least comprise a first clock parameter, a second clock parameter and a third clock parameter; table 4 shows the camera chip parameters versus pixel clock. As shown in table 4, the first clock parameter corresponds to the first pixel clock, the second clock parameter corresponds to the second pixel clock, and the third clock parameter corresponds to the third pixel clock. The camera chip parameter writing register can control clock period, thereby controlling the acquisition frequency and power consumption of pixel points when the camera acquires images. The higher the acquisition frequency is, the higher the power consumption is when the terminal equipment moves in an application scene.

Table 4 camera chip parameters versus pixel clock table.

Parameter set provided by camera chip factory	First clock parameter	Second clock parameter	Third clock parameter
				Pixel clock size	First pixel clock	Second imagePlain clock	Third pixel clock

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, after entering the preview scene, when the power consumption value is detected to trigger the preset power consumption threshold level to be in the "high" range (for example, the first power consumption level), if the following further power consumption adjustment policy is not provided, the highest-intensity power consumption optimization policy should be adopted. In order to better evaluate the power consumption from the aspects of the cruising ability of the electric quantity and the use evaluation rate of the scene, an in-depth analysis is required for the power consumption adjustment scheme.

After the power consumption adjustment strategy is triggered, the scene is obtained through scene evaluation, the scene is a common preview, the power consumption duration evaluation module is used for obtaining the fact that the power consumption is weak (for example, the second power consumption duration) at the moment, the fact that the power consumption is insufficient at the moment is seriously influenced by the fact that the power consumption is insufficient at the moment is indicated, the power consumption level of the trigger is required to be reduced by one level to be middle (for example, the second power consumption level), the scene is obtained to be high according to the fact that the current scene is the common preview, the scene is obtained through the use frequency of the scene, the fact that the common preview scene goes deep into the user's heart is indicated at the moment, the power consumption level is required to be reduced by one level again, and the power consumption level is changed to be low (for example, the third power consumption level).

The finally estimated power consumption level, which is initially triggered as "high", becomes "low" after being estimated by "battery endurance" and "scene use frequency".

At this time, the result obtained by the pixel clock evaluation unit is low through the adjustment unit, the pixel clock is found out to be small according to the corresponding relation of the corresponding relation table of the triggering power consumption level and the pixel clock, then the information related to the register of the first clock parameter is obtained according to the corresponding relation of the preset parameter of the camera chip and the parameter of the pixel clock, and then the purpose of reducing the power consumption is achieved by calling the group of parameter information.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, power consumption is monitored when a camera is started, an operation scene or a functional mode of a camera application program is obtained according to a preset power consumption threshold, and then the clock size of a pixel of a camera chip is adjusted after a plurality of factors are integrated according to the use frequency of a user scene by judging the strength of the current battery endurance. Because the image graph time sequence is a clock depending on pixels, the speed of the pixel clock directly determines the speed of the current chip graph data, and the faster the graph is, the power consumption is increased, otherwise, the purpose of reducing the power consumption is achieved, so that the cruising ability is ensured, the experience of a user when the camera is used is ensured, and the purpose of reducing the power consumption from the source is achieved.

A second aspect of the disclosed embodiments provides a power consumption management and control apparatus. Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of a power consumption management and control device according to an exemplary embodiment. As shown in fig. 2, the control device includes:

The power consumption management and control device in the embodiment of the disclosure is used for: determining the function application executed under the current running state of the terminal equipment; determining a power consumption level corresponding to the function application based on the function application; and if the determined power consumption level reaches the preset power consumption level, adjusting the power consumption level of the terminal equipment in the current running state based on the determined power consumption level, the current electric quantity cruising state of the terminal equipment and the execution requirement of the executed function application. In the present disclosure, when the determined power consumption level reaches the predetermined power consumption level, it is indicated that power consumption needs to be controlled at this time. When the power consumption control is carried out, the specific power consumption control can be determined by comprehensively considering the power consumption condition of the current terminal equipment function application, the current electric quantity endurance state and the application execution condition of the current function application, so that the power consumption adjustment can be carried out on the whole, the use duration of the terminal equipment is prolonged as much as possible, and the power consumption loss and waste are reduced.

In some embodiments, the third processing unit 23 is configured to

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the predetermined electric quantity duration may be determined as a second electric quantity duration with weaker electric quantity duration. When the power consumption level of the function application is higher, for example, the first power consumption level, and the power consumption duration state is weaker, for example, the second power consumption duration strength, the power consumption level of the terminal device in the current running state needs to be adjusted according to the execution requirement of the executed function application. For example, the function application executed at this time has an execution requirement exceeding the requirement standard, including: the frequency of the function application being executed within the preset time exceeds the preset frequency, and/or the duration of the function application being executed continuously exceeds the preset duration. At this point the power consumption level of the functional application needs to be downgraded. For example from a first level power consumption to a third level power consumption. Table 5 is a table of electric quantity endurance, as shown in Table 5, the electric quantity endurance of which the electric quantity exceeds 50% can be determined as the first electric quantity endurance intensity; and determining the electric quantity endurance capacity of which the electric quantity is lower than 50% as the second electric quantity endurance strength.

It is understood in the present application that the time interval between a rising edge and an adjacent falling edge is determined as a clock period of a pixel clock. The mapping relation between the pixel clock and the power consumption level comprises: the more rising edges or falling edges of the pixel clock in a unit time, the higher the acquisition rate of the pixels, the faster the graph efficiency and the greater the power consumption.

As shown in table 6, i.e., the first pixel clock corresponds to the first level power consumption, the second pixel clock corresponds to the second level power consumption, and the third pixel clock corresponds to the third level power consumption, wherein the clock period of the first pixel clock is smaller than the clock period of the second pixel clock, and the clock period of the second pixel clock is smaller than the clock period of the third pixel clock.
