This application relates to the field of electronic device technologies, and in particular, to an exercise track recording method and a related device.
During running, a user usually records an exercise track by using exercise-related software installed on a mobile phone, for example, a Huawei Health application (application, APP). In an exercise track recording process, a global positioning system (global positioning system, GPS) chip of the mobile phone needs to send one piece of GPS data to an application processor (application processor, AP) every second, so that the application processor processes the GPS data after receiving the data, sends processed data to an upper-layer app, and updates a location on a map in the app. Therefore, the user can view the exercise track of the user on the map. However, this manner causes high power consumption and short battery endurance of the mobile phone.
Embodiments of this application provide an exercise track recording method and a related device, to reduce power consumption and improve battery endurance of an electronic device in an exercise track recording process.
According to a first aspect, an embodiment of this application provides an electronic device, including a touch sensor, a micro control unit MCU, and a global positioning system GPS chip. The GPS chip is configured to obtain GPS data of a current location of the electronic device. An application processor is connected to the GPS chip, and is configured to: receive the GPS data sent by the GPS chip, and process the GPS data by using a first positioning algorithm. The MCU is connected to the GPS chip, and is configured to: when a first condition is met, receive the GPS data sent by the GPS chip, process the GPS data by using a second positioning algorithm, and store processed GPS data of at least two location points. The MCU is further connected to the application processor, and is configured to send the processed GPS data of the at least two location points to the application processor when a second condition is met.
Specifically, one piece of GPS data is longitude and latitude corresponding to one location point.
The electronic device provided in this embodiment of this application may receive, by using the MCU, a plurality of pieces of GPS data reported by the GPS chip, and the MCU may process the plurality of pieces of GPS data by using the first positioning algorithm, and then report a plurality of pieces of processed GPS data to the application processor in batches, so that the application processor does not need to remain in a wake-up state in an exercise track recording process. In other words, the application processor may be in a sleep state in the exercise track recording process. This reduces power consumption in the exercise track recording process, and improves battery endurance of the electronic device. In addition, the solution provided in this embodiment of this application may be applied to all electronic devices having an MCU, and therefore has a wide application scope.
In a possible implementation, the electronic device further includes a display, and the first condition is that the display is off.
Specifically, in this implementation, the MCU may determine whether the first condition is met, or the application processor may determine whether the first condition is met.
In this application, when the electronic device is screen-off, the electronic device may receive, by using the MCU, the plurality of pieces of GPS data reported by the GPS chip, and the MCU may process the plurality of pieces of GPS data by using the first positioning algorithm, and then report the plurality of pieces of processed GPS data to the application processor in batches. A user does not have a requirement for viewing an exercise track in real time in a process in which the electronic device is screen-off. In this case, the application processor can enter the sleep state when the electronic device is screen-off. Therefore, power consumption of the electronic device is reduced.
In another possible implementation, the first condition is that duration for which the MCU has sent the processed GPS data of the at least two location points to the application processor has reached A seconds, and sending the processed GPS data of the at least two location points is completed, where A is a positive integer.

The second processing includes noise reduction and smoothing processing performed on the GPS data sent by the MCU to the application processor.
In another possible implementation, the electronic device further includes a display; and the first condition is that the display is off, sending the processed GPS data of the at least two location points is completed, and processing the processed GPS data of the at least two location points by the application processor is completed.

In this embodiment of this application, in the exercise track recording process, the voice broadcast is used as a condition for waking up the application processor, to ensure that the application processor is woken up in advance to perform the voice broadcast in time. This does not affect normal use by the user, but also reduces power consumption of the electronic device and improves user experience.
In another possible implementation, memory occupied by the first positioning algorithm is greater than memory occupied by the second positioning algorithm.
Specifically, the first positioning algorithm may include the following several features: Kalman filtering, a least square method, a satellite location, ephemeris resolution, an assisted global positioning system (Assisted Global Positioning System, AGPS), and a National Marine Electronics Association (National Marine Electronics Association, NMEA) protocol.
Specifically, the second positioning algorithm may include the following several features: Kalman filtering, a least square method, and a satellite location.
The second positioning algorithm provided in this embodiment of this application is stored in the MCU, and can save storage space in the MCU compared with the first positioning algorithm. In addition, accuracy for processing the GPS data can be ensured by using the second positioning algorithm, to ensure that an accurate track is recorded and presented to the user.

In some embodiments, an Android system is divided into four layers: an application layer, an application framework layer, an Android runtime (Android runtime) and system library, and a kernel layer from top to bottom.
The application layer may include a series of application packages.
As shown in
The application framework layer provides an application programming interface (application programming interface, API) and a programming framework for an application at the application layer. The application framework layer includes some predefined functions.

The resource manager provides various resources for an application, such as a localized character string, an icon, a picture, a layout file, and a video file.
The notification manager enables an application to display notification information in a status bar, and may be configured to convey a notification type message, where the displayed notification information may automatically disappear after a short pause and require no user interaction. For example, the notification manager is configured to provide notifications of download completing, a message prompt, and the like. The notification manager may alternatively be a notification that appears in a top status bar of the system in a form of a graph or a scroll bar text, for example, a notification of an application running on the background or a notification that appears on the screen in a form of a dialog window. For example, text information is displayed in the status bar, an alert sound is played, the electronic device vibrates, or the indicator light blinks.
The Android runtime includes a core library and a virtual machine. The Android runtime is responsible for scheduling and management of the Android system.
The core library includes two parts: a function that needs to be invoked in Java language and a core library of Android.
The application layer and the application framework layer run on the virtual machine. The virtual machine executes Java files at the application layer and the application framework layer as binary files. The virtual machine is configured to implement functions such as object lifecycle management, stack management, thread management, security and exception management, and garbage collection.
The system library may include a plurality of function modules, for example, a surface manager (surface manager), a media library (Media Library), a three-dimensional graphics processing library (for example, OpenGL ES), and a 2D graphics engine (for example, SGL).

The following describes an example of a working process of software and hardware of the electronic device 100 with reference to the outdoor exercise scenario.
When the touch sensor 180G receives a touch operation, a corresponding hardware interruption is sent to the kernel layer. The kernel layer processes the touch operation into an original input event (including information such as touch coordinates and a timestamp of the touch operation). The original input event is stored at the kernel layer. The application framework layer obtains the original input event from the kernel layer, and identifies a control corresponding to the input event. For example, the touch operation is a touch and tap operation, and a control corresponding to the tap operation is a “Start exercise” control in a Huawei Health app. The Huawei Health app starts a GPS chip driver by invoking the kernel layer, to obtain GPS data by using the GPS chip.

Based on the application scenario shown in
The following separately describes a cooperative relationship between components when the electronic device 100 records an exercise track in the two record modes.
Low Power Consumption Mode
A solid line part in
Normal Mode
A dashed line part in
The following describes a condition for switching between the two working modes of the electronic device 100 in an exercise track recording process. A condition for switching from the normal mode to the low power consumption mode is first described, and then a condition for switching from the low power consumption mode to the normal mode is described.
1. Condition for Switching from the Normal Mode to the Low Power Consumption Mode
In some embodiments, the MCU may trigger the electronic device 100 to switch from the normal mode to the low power consumption mode.
Possibly, after the electronic device 100 detects a touch operation performed on a “Start” control 404, the electronic device 100 records, for the first time, an exercise track of a user in the normal mode in a current exercise track recording process. In this case, the condition for switching from the normal mode to the low power consumption mode is that a display 192 of the electronic device 100 is off.
Possibly, the electronic device 100 records, for a non-first time, an exercise track of a user in the normal mode in a current exercise track recording process. In this case, the condition for switching from the normal mode to the low power consumption mode is that a display 192 of the electronic device 100 is off, the electronic device 100 works in the normal mode for A seconds, and GPS data stored in the low power consumption mode has been sent in batches. A seconds are set, so that the application processor has sufficient time to perform second processing on the GPS data.
Specifically, an MCU may include a timer, and duration of the timer is A seconds. When the MCU starts to send the data to the application processor in batches, the timer may be triggered to start timing. After the timer expires, the MCU may determine that the electronic device 100 works in the normal mode for A seconds.
The A seconds may be but is not limited to 10 seconds, 30 seconds, 60 seconds, or the like.
In some other embodiments, the application processor may trigger the electronic device 100 to switch from the normal mode to the low power consumption mode.
Possibly, after the electronic device 100 detects a touch operation performed on a “Start” control 404, the electronic device 100 records, for the first time, an exercise track of a user in the normal mode in a current exercise track recording process. In this case, the condition for switching from the normal mode to the low power consumption mode is that a display 192 of the electronic device 100 is off. Possibly, the condition for switching from the normal mode to the low power consumption mode may alternatively be that duration for which a display 192 of the electronic device 100 is off reaches preset duration, where the preset duration may be but is not limited to 2 seconds, 3 seconds, 5 seconds, or the like.
Possibly, the electronic device 100 records, for a non-first time, an exercise track of a user in the normal mode in a current exercise track recording process. In this case, the condition for switching from the normal mode to the low power consumption mode may be that a display 192 of the electronic device 100 is off, GPS data stored in the low power consumption mode has been sent in batches, and the application processor has performed second processing on the GPS data.
2. Condition for Switching from the Low Power Consumption Mode to the Normal Mode
The condition for switching from the low power consumption mode to the normal mode may include any one of the following: 1. Stored GPS data reaches a threshold B. 2. It is estimated, based on stored GPS data, that a next-time wake-up condition of the application processor is met. 3. A display 192 of the electronic device 100 is on.
For the condition 1, in some embodiments, that the stored GPS data reaches a threshold B may be that duration for storing the GPS data reaches the threshold B, where B may be but is not limited to 1 minute, 3 minutes, 5 minutes, or the like.
In some other embodiments, that the stored GPS data reaches a threshold B may be that memory for storing the GPS data reaches the threshold B, where B may be but is not limited to 10 kb, 20 kb, 25 kb, or the like.
For the condition 2, it can be learned that the application processor is in a sleep state in the low power consumption mode. If a user specifies that voice broadcast is performed when running reaches an integral kilometer during an exercise (content of voice broadcast may be, for example, a current running distance, running duration, and running pace for the latest one kilometer distance), the application processor in the sleep state cannot learn of current exercise data of the user, and cannot perform voice broadcast. In this case, an MCU needs to estimate the current exercise data of the user based on the GPS data sent by a GPS chip, switches to the normal mode before an exercise distance of the user is about to reach an integral kilometer, and wakes up the application processor to perform voice broadcast.
Specifically, if the application processor triggers the electronic device 100 to switch from the normal mode to the low power consumption mode, the application processor may send the next-time wake-up condition to the MCU when the electronic device 100 switches from the normal mode to the low power consumption mode for the first time and when the electronic device 100 switches from the normal mode to the low power consumption mode for a non-first time.
If the MCU triggers the electronic device 100 to switch from the normal mode to the low power consumption mode, when the electronic device 100 switches from the normal mode to the low power consumption mode for the first time, the application processor may send the next-time wake-up condition to the MCU when the display 192 of the electronic device 100 is off. When the electronic device 100 switches from the normal mode to the low power consumption mode for a non-first time, the application processor may send the next-time wake-up condition to the MCU when the GPS data stored by the electronic device 100 in the low power consumption mode has been sent in batches.
The next-time wake-up condition may be determined based on a voice broadcast condition set by the user. The voice broadcast condition set by the user may be, for example, that broadcast is performed at a fixed exercise distance interval or that broadcast is performed at a fixed time interval. A fixed exercise distance may be, for example, but is not limited to an integral kilometer or half of an integral kilometer. The fixed time interval may be, for example, but is not limited to 5 minutes, 10 minutes, or the like.
In some embodiments, the voice broadcast condition set by the user is that broadcast is performed at the fixed exercise distance interval. The next-time wake-up condition of the application processor is that a difference between a current exercise distance and an exercise distance for next voice broadcast is a first distance, where the exercise distance for the next voice broadcast is longer than the current exercise distance.
It is assumed that the user specifies that voice broadcast is performed when the running reaches an integral kilometer during the exercise. When the application processor switches from the normal mode to the low power consumption mode for the first time, a current exercise distance is 0.2 kilometer, and a first distance is 0.1 kilometer, the application processor may send, to the MCU, the next-time wake-up condition that is that an exercise distance reaches 0.7 kilometer. When the MCU in the low power consumption mode estimates that an exercise distance reaches 0.7 kilometer based on the GPS data sent by the GPS chip, the MCU switches to the normal mode and wakes up the application processor. In this case, the application processor may be woken up before an exercise distance reaches 1 kilometer, to perform voice broadcast in time.
When the application processor switches from the normal mode to the low power consumption mode for a non-first time, it is assumed that a current exercise distance is 3.2 kilometers, and a first distance is 0.1 kilometer, the application processor may send to the MCU, the next-time wake-up condition that is continuously keeping exercise for 0.7 kilometer. When the MCU in the low power consumption mode estimates that an exercise distance reaches 0.7 kilometer based on the GPS data sent by the GPS chip, the MCU switches to the normal mode and wakes up the application processor. In this case, the application processor may be woken up before an exercise distance reaches 4 kilometers, to perform voice broadcast in time. The current exercise distance is an exercise distance when the application processor sends the next-time wake-up condition to the MCU.
The first distance is not limited to 0.1 kilometer. In a specific implementation, the first distance may be 0.2 kilometer, 0.05 kilometer, or the like. This is not limited in this embodiment of this application. An advance wake-up distance is set, to avoid a case in which after the application processor is woken up, the application processor misses an actual distance for voice broadcast because the MCU estimates an inaccurate exercise distance by using a first positioning algorithm.
In this application, an actual estimated exercise distance when the application processor is woken up in advance is the foregoing 0.9 kilometer and the foregoing 0.7 kilometer, and may be referred to as a target wake-up exercise distance.
In some other embodiments, the voice broadcast condition set by the user is that broadcast is performed at the fixed time interval. The next-time wake-up condition of the application processor is that a difference between a current moment and a moment for next voice broadcast is first duration, where the moment for the next voice broadcast is later than the current moment.
It is assumed that the user specifies that voice broadcast is performed at the fixed time interval (for example, 5 minutes) during the exercise. An exercise start moment is 9:00:00, a moment at which the application processor sends the next-time wake-up condition to the MCU is 9:02:00, a moment for next voice broadcast is 9:05:00, and the first duration is 5 seconds.
When the application processor switches from the normal mode to the low power consumption mode for the first time, the application processor may send, to the MCU, the next-time wake-up condition that is at 9:04:55. The MCU may trigger, at 9:04:55, the electronic device to switch from the low power consumption mode to the normal mode, so that the application processor may be woken up in advance, to perform voice broadcast in time based on the exercise duration of 5 minutes.
The foregoing example is implemented by using a specific moment (the exercise start moment, the moment in which the application processor sends the next-time wake-up condition to the MCU, and the moment for next voice broadcast), or may be implemented by using duration in a specific implementation.
It is assumed that the user specifies that voice broadcast is performed at the fixed time interval (for example, 5 minutes) during the exercise. When the application processor sends the next-time wake-up condition to the MCU, exercise duration is 1 minute, next voice broadcast is to be performed 3 minutes later, and the first duration is 5 seconds. When the application processor switches from the normal mode to the low power consumption mode for the first time, the application processor may send, to the MCU, the next-time wake-up condition that is continuously keeping exercise for 3 minutes and 55 seconds. The MCU in the low power consumption mode triggers a timer, where duration of the timer is 3 minutes and 55 seconds. After the timer expires, the MCU triggers the electronic device to switch from the low power consumption mode to the normal mode, so that the application processor may be woken up in advance to perform voice broadcast in time based on exercise duration of 5 minutes.
It is assumed that the user specifies that voice broadcast is performed at the fixed time interval (for example 5 minutes) during the exercise. An exercise start moment is 9:00:00, a moment at which the application processor sends the next-time wake-up condition to the MCU is 9:18:00, a moment for next voice broadcast is 9:20:00, and the first duration is 5 seconds. When the application processor switches from the normal mode to the low power consumption mode for a non-first time, the application processor may send, to the MCU, the next-time wake-up condition that is at 9:19:55. The MCU may trigger, at 9:19:55, the electronic device to switch from the low power consumption mode to the normal mode, so that the application processor may be woken up in advance, to perform voice broadcast in time based on exercise duration of 5 minutes.
The foregoing example is implemented by using a specific moment (the exercise start moment, the moment in which the application processor sends the next-time wake-up condition to the MCU, and the moment for next voice broadcast), or may be implemented by using duration in a specific implementation.
It is assumed that the user specifies that voice broadcast is performed at the fixed time interval (for example, 5 minutes) during the exercise. When the application processor sends the next-time wake-up condition to the MCU, exercise duration is 18 minutes, next voice broadcast is to be performed 2 minutes later, and the first duration is 5 seconds. When the application processor switches from the normal mode to the low power consumption mode for a non-first time, the application processor may send, to the MCU, the next-time wake-up condition that is continuously keeping exercise for 1 minute and 55 seconds. The MCU in the low power consumption mode triggers a timer, where duration of the timer is 1 minute and 55 seconds. After the timer expires, the MCU triggers the electronic device to switch from the low power consumption mode to the normal mode, so that the application processor may be woken up in advance to perform voice broadcast in time based on exercise duration of 20 minutes.
In the foregoing examples, the application processor calculates, based on an advance wake-up distance or duration (the first distance or the first duration), a next-time wake-up distance, a next-time wake-up moment, or next-time wake-up duration, and sends the next-time wake-up distance, the next-time wake-up moment, or the next-time wake-up duration to the MCU. In a specific implementation, the application processor may send an actual wake-up distance, an actual wake-up moment, or actual wake-up duration to the MCU, and then the MCU calculates a final wake-up distance or a final wake-up moment based on the advance wake-up distance or duration (the first distance or the first duration), to wake up the application processor.
Due to a limited MCU hardware resource (for example, memory), features included in a simplified positioning algorithm in the MCU are different from features included in a complete positioning algorithm in the application processor. The following describes specific features included in the simplified positioning algorithm and specific features included in the complete positioning algorithm with reference to Table 1.
It can be learned from Table 1 that the simplified positioning algorithm includes features such as Kalman filtering, a least square method, and a satellite location. The Kalman filtering is a prediction algorithm, and may be used to predict an approximate location of a next point, and calibrate the data of the GPS chip.
The least square method is a regression algorithm, and may be used to perform smooth processing on the data of the GPS chip based on a series of data.
The satellite location may be used to record a satellite location. When the electronic device 100 searches for a satellite for the first time, a time for searching for the satellite is shortened. The first search may be, for example, searching for the satellite location when the electronic device 100 is powered on.
The complete positioning algorithm may not only include Kalman filtering, a least square method, and a satellite location, but also include other features such as ephemeris resolution, an assisted global positioning system (Assisted Global Positioning System, AGPS), and a National Marine Electronics Association (National Marine Electronics Association, NMEA) protocol. The ephemeris resolution is used to demodulate satellite ephemeris in all channels (a maximum of 144 channels) before successful positioning, to determine a satellite location.
The AGPS may determine a location of the electronic device 100 based on information about a base station accessed by the electronic device 100, and select the satellite based on the location of the electronic device 100. This reduces time for searching for the satellite.
The NMEA protocol is a GPS data serial port transmission protocol, and is used to export the GPS data.

In some other embodiments, the MCU may control an electronic device 100 to record the exercise track in the second mode.

The first condition is that a display 192 of the electronic device 100 is off, the electronic device 100 works in the normal mode for A seconds, and data stored in the low power consumption mode has been sent in batches. A seconds are set, so that the application processor has sufficient time to perform second processing on the GPS data.
S104: When a second condition is met, send the processed GPS data of the at least two location points to the application processor, and record the exercise track in the first mode.
Specifically, the second condition may include any one of the following: 1. Stored data reaches a threshold B. 2.

For details, refer to related descriptions about the condition for switching from the low power consumption mode to the normal mode in the foregoing embodiment. Details are not described herein again.
In this embodiment of this application, the first mode may be the normal mode mentioned in the foregoing embodiment, and the second mode may be the low power consumption mode mentioned in the foregoing embodiment. The first condition may be the condition for switching from the normal mode to the low power consumption mode mentioned in the foregoing embodiment, and the second condition may be the condition for switching from the low power consumption mode to the normal mode mentioned in the foregoing embodiment.

When a switching condition is met, the MCU sends the stored plurality of pieces of processed GPS data to the application processor in batches, so that the application processor enters a sleep state in the second mode. This reduces power consumption and improves battery endurance of the electronic device. In addition, in this application, the MCU is a component having a low power consumption gain. Therefore, the technical solution in this application may be applied to all electronic devices having an MCU, and have a wide application scope.
For ease of understanding, an embodiment of this application provides a specific exercise track recording method. As shown in
S201: An electronic device detects a tap operation performed on a “Start” control 404.
Specifically, after the electronic device detects the tap operation performed on the “Start” control 404, a user starts an outdoor exercise, and the electronic device starts to record an exercise track of the user.

Processed GPS data may be displayed in a point form on a map of an exercise app in real time, so that the user can view the exercise track of the user in real time.
S203: Determine whether a display is off, and perform S204 if the display is off.
Specifically, when the electronic device records the exercise track in the first mode for the first time, the electronic device may determine, based on whether the display is off, whether to record the exercise track in the second mode.
The foregoing step of determining whether to record the exercise track in the second mode may be performed by the application processor.
S204: An MCU receives the GPS data sent by the GPS chip, processes the GPS data by using a second positioning algorithm, and stores processed GPS data of at least two location points.
Specifically, when the exercise track is recorded in the second mode, the GPS chip is connected to the MCU, and sends the GPS data to the MCU. The MCU may process the GPS data by using the second positioning algorithm. For features included in the second positioning algorithm, refer to the features included in the simplified positioning algorithm listed in Table 1. Details are not described herein again. The MCU may store a plurality of pieces of processed GPS data.

Possibly, the threshold B may be memory for storing the GPS data, and B may be but is not limited to 10 kb, 20 kb, 25 kb, or the like.
Possibly, the threshold B may be duration for storing the GPS data, and B may be but is not limited to 1 minute, 3 minutes, 5 minutes, or the like.
S206: Determine, based on the stored processed GPS data, whether a wake-up condition of the application processor is met, and perform S208 if the wake-up condition of the application processor is met.
Specifically, the wake-up condition of the application processor may be a wake-up condition sent by the application processor to the MCU during switching from a normal mode to a low power consumption mode. The wake-up condition is specifically determined by a voice broadcast condition set by the user. The voice broadcast condition set by the user may be, for example, integral-kilometer broadcast, half-integral-kilometer broadcast, or broadcast at a fixed time interval.
If the voice broadcast condition set by the user is integral-kilometer broadcast, the wake-up condition may be a target wake-up distance that is calculated based on a current exercise distance and at which a next integral-kilometer is reached.
If the voice broadcast condition set by the user is broadcast at a fixed time interval, the wake-up condition may be a target wake-up time that is calculated based on current exercise duration and at which a next broadcast moment is reached.
S207: Determine whether the display is on, and perform S208 if the display is on.
Specifically, after the display is on, the exercise track may be recorded in the first mode, and the exercise track of the user is displayed on the display.
S208: The MCU sends the processed GPS data of the at least two location points to the application processor.
In this case, the application processor of the electronic device is woken up and receives the processed GPS data of the at least two location points that is sent by the MCU, and the exercise track of the user is displayed on the map of the exercise app based on the processed GPS data of the at least two location points.
Specifically, after sending the data to the application processor is completed, the MCU may delete the stored GPS data to release the memory, so as to restore GPS data when the exercise track is recorded in the second mode next time.
S209: The application processor receives the GPS data sent by the GPS chip, and processes the GPS data by using the first positioning algorithm.
Specifically, the electronic device records the exercise track in the first mode for a non-first time.
S210: Determine whether the display is off, whether the processed GPS data of the at least two location points has been sent, and whether the application processor has performed second processing on the GPS data; and perform S204 if the display is off, the processed GPS data of the at least two location points has been sent, and the application processor has performed second processing on the GPS data.
Specifically, when the electronic device records the exercise track in the first mode for the non-first time, the electronic device may determine, based on whether the display is off and whether the data stored in the second mode has been sent, whether to record the exercise track in the second mode. The foregoing step of determining whether to record the exercise track in the second mode may be performed by the application processor.
If the GPS data stored in the second mode has been sent, the exercise track may be recorded in the second mode again, until the electronic device detects a user operation for stopping recording the exercise track.
In this embodiment of this application, the first mode may be the normal mode mentioned in the foregoing embodiment, and the second mode may be the low power consumption mode mentioned in the foregoing embodiment.
In this embodiment of this application, the first positioning algorithm may be the complete positioning algorithm mentioned in the foregoing embodiment, and the second positioning algorithm may be the simplified positioning algorithm mentioned in the foregoing embodiment.
In the exercise track recording method provided in this embodiment of this application, the exercise track may be recorded in the two record modes. In the second mode, the MCU may receive the GPS data sent by the GPS chip, process the GPS data, and store a plurality of pieces of processed GPS data. When a switching condition is met, the MCU sends the stored plurality of pieces of processed GPS data to the application processor in batches, so that the application processor enters a sleep state in the second mode. This reduces power consumption and improves battery endurance of the electronic device. In addition, a switching condition for switching from the second mode to the first mode is set based on the voice broadcast condition set by the user, so that the mode switching is not perceived by the user while power consumption is reduced, and normal use by the user is not affected. In addition, in this application, the MCU is a component having a low power consumption gain. Therefore, the technical solution in this application may be applied to all electronic devices having an MCU, and have a wide application scope.
In a specific embodiment, it is assumed that a current exercise distance of a user is 2.9 km, and the voice broadcast condition set by the user is integral-kilometer broadcast. If the display of the mobile phone is in a screen-on state, and a current record mode is the normal mode, the mobile phone keeps recording the exercise track in the normal mode, and performs voice broadcast when an exercise distance reaches 3 km. If the display of the mobile phone is in a screen-off state, and a current record mode is the low power consumption mode, the mobile phone may wake up the application processor in advance, switch to the normal mode to record the exercise track, and perform voice broadcast in time when an exercise distance reaches 3 km.
Table 2 shows an example of comparison between power consumption in the conventional technology and power consumption in this application in various scenarios. It can be seen that, in the embodiments of this application, power consumption can be reduced by about 50% in various scenarios.
