The present disclosure relates to mobile terminal technology field, and more particularly, to a method and a device for controlling a mobile terminal and a mobile terminal.
With the rapid development of mobile terminals and the continuous improvement of people's living standard, mobile terminals have become indispensable communication and entertainment tools in people's life. In People's Daily life, from personal entertainment to social activities, from morning to evening, from indoors to outdoors, people spend more and more time on mobile terminals every day, which makes the battery life of the mobile terminal a problem. In order to improve the battery life of the mobile terminal as much as possible, various application providers and mobile terminal manufacturers have also proposed an approach of adjusting screen luminance of the mobile terminal to achieve a power-saving effect.
In related technologies, the screen luminance of the mobile terminal is usually adjusted manually, or, a light sensor can be used to obtain a light intensity of ambient light and the screen luminance of the mobile terminal is adjusted according to the light intensity of ambient light. However, manual adjustment needs to utilize settings of the mobile terminal to control a progress bar of the screen luminance, for the user, the operation is complex; when the user no longer uses the mobile terminal and puts it on a desk, and the user is in an environment with stable ambient light, the screen luminance will not be adjusted according to the light intensity of ambient light, in this way, even though the user is not using the mobile terminal, the screen is in a screen-on state, resulting in rapid consumption of power of the mobile terminal and poor power-saving effect.

Reference will be made in detail to embodiments of the present disclosure. Embodiments of the present disclosure will be shown in drawings, in which the same or similar elements and the elements having same or similar functions are denoted by like reference numerals throughout the descriptions. The embodiments described herein according to drawings are explanatory and aiming at explaining the present disclosure, and cannot be construed to limit the present disclosure.
A method and a device for controlling a mobile terminal and a mobile terminal according to embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
As shown in
At block S110, when the mobile terminal is in a screen-on state, an angle between a screen of the mobile terminal and the ground is calculated.
Specifically, it may be detected whether the mobile terminal is currently in the screen-on state, if the mobile terminal is detected to be in the screen-on state, it may be determined whether a user of the mobile terminal is using the mobile terminal. It can be understood that, when the user is using the mobile terminal, the screen of the mobile terminal generally forms a parallel angle with his face, while the screen of the mobile terminal generally forms a 90 degree angle with the ground. Therefore, by utilizing this feature, the method for controlling a mobile terminal of embodiments of the present disclosure can judge whether the user is using the mobile terminal by judging the angle between the screen of the mobile terminal and the ground.
In particular, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, the angle between the screen of the mobile terminal and the ground can be calculated by the following steps: detecting a gravity sensing coordinate parameter of the mobile terminal through a gravity measuring device in the mobile terminal and calculating the angle between the screen of the mobile terminal and the ground according to the gravity sensing coordinate parameter of the mobile terminal. In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the gravity measuring device may be a gravity sensor, or other measuring devices that can be configured to measure the angle between the mobile terminal and the ground, such as a gyroscope and the like.
It can be understood that, the gravity sensing coordinate refers to a coordinate relative to the mobile terminal, rather than a spatial coordinate. For example, as shown in
More specifically, when it is detected that the mobile terminal is currently in the screen-on state, the gravity measuring device is activated, and the gravity sensing coordinate parameter (for example, the X-axis value, Y-axis value and z-axis value of the gravity-sensing coordinate system) of the mobile terminal is detected through the gravity measuring device, then, the angle between the screen of the mobile terminal and the ground is calculated according to the gravity sensing coordinate parameter of the mobile terminal. It can be understood that, since the Y-axis in the gravity sensing coordinate system represents the screen direction of the mobile terminal, the Y-axis value in the gravity sensing coordinate system can be obtained, which represents the angle between the screen of the mobile terminal and the ground.
At block S120, the screen luminance of the mobile terminal is adjusted according to the angle.
Specifically, after obtaining the angle between the screen of the mobile terminal and the ground, the screen luminance of the mobile terminal can be adjusted according to the angle.
It can be understood that, there are many ways to adjust the screen luminance of the mobile terminal according to the angle, for example, by presetting two thresholds according to experience, and adjusting the screen luminance accordingly when the angle is judged to be a preset threshold; for another example, by adjusting the screen luminance of the mobile terminal in real time according to different angles, the following two examples are shown to illustrate the process of these two ways.
As an example, when the angle is equal to a first threshold, the screen luminance of the mobile terminal is controlled to be reduced to a first luminance; when the angle is equal to a second threshold, the screen luminance of the mobile terminal is controlled to be increased to a second luminance, in which the first threshold is less than the second threshold, and the first luminance is less than the second luminance; when the angle is larger than the first threshold and smaller than the second threshold, a screen luminance value of the mobile terminal when the screen luminance was last adjusted is determined, and the screen luminance of the mobile terminal is controlled to be maintained at the screen luminance value. In embodiments of the present disclosure, the first threshold is 0 degrees, and a value range of the second threshold is from 45 to 90 degrees.
It can be understood that, when the angle between the screen of the mobile terminal and the ground is 0 degrees, it can be considered that the user is no longer using the mobile terminal, and when the angle between the screen of the mobile terminal and the ground is in 45˜90 degrees, it can be considered that the user is using the mobile terminal. Based on the above characteristics, the first threshold and the second threshold are set, and the first threshold is set to 0 degrees, and the value range of the second threshold is set to 45˜90 degrees respectively. In this way, the current angle between the screen of the mobile terminal and the ground is matched with the first and second thresholds, if the match is successful, the screen luminance of the mobile terminal is adjusted according to the matching result. For example, when the angle is equal to 0 degrees, the screen luminance is reduced to dim the screen; when the angle is in a range of 45 to 90 degrees, the screen luminance is increased; when the angle is greater than 0 degrees and less than 45 degrees, the screen brightness value of the mobile terminal in the last adjustment of screen luminance is determined, then the screen luminance is controlled to be maintained at the screen luminance value.
As another example, the screen luminance of a mobile terminal can be adjusted in real time according to the angle, for example, by presetting multiple angle intervals each corresponding to a distinct luminance level, and adjusting the screen luminance correspondingly according to the interval of the current angle, so as to achieve a real-time adjustment. The specific implementation can be referred to the specific description of the subsequent embodiments.
According to the method for controlling a mobile terminal of embodiments of the present disclosure, when the mobile terminal is in the screen-on state, the angle between the screen of the mobile terminal and the ground is calculated and the screen luminance of the mobile terminal is adjusted according to the angle, such that in the process of adjusting the screen luminance, no manual adjustment by a user is required, thus simplifying user's operation. In addition, since the angle between the screen of the mobile terminal and the ground can perfectly reflect whether the user is using the mobile terminal, the screen luminance is directly adjusted in accordance with the angle between the screen of the mobile terminal and the ground, thereby avoiding the situation that the screen is in a highly lit screen state while the user is not using the mobile terminal, saving power of the mobile terminal, and improving power-saving effect.
In order to further improve availability and feasibility, and to improve power-saving effect, in embodiments of the present disclosure, the screen luminance of the mobile terminal can be adjusted in real time according to different angles, for example, by presetting multiple angle intervals each corresponding to a distinct luminance level and adjusting the screen luminance correspondingly according to the interval of the current angle, so as to achieve a real-time adjustment. Specifically, as shown in
At block S310, when a mobile terminal is in a screen-on state, an angle between a screen of the mobile terminal and the ground is calculated.
At block S320, the angle is to be matched with multiple preset angle intervals to determine an angle interval to which the angle belongs.
It can be understood that, in embodiments of the present disclosure, multiple angle intervals are preset, for example, four angle intervals can be set: [0,25), [25,50), [50,75), and [75,90], and each angle interval corresponds to a luminance level. In this way, after obtaining the angle between the screen of the mobile terminal and the ground, the angle is to be matched with the preset angle intervals to determine the angle interval in which the angle falls.
At block S330, luminance level information of the angle is determined according to the angle interval of the angle.
Specifically, after determining the angle interval to which the angle belongs, the luminance level information corresponding to the angle between the screen of the mobile terminal and the ground can be determined according to the angle interval to which the angle belongs. For example, assuming that the angle interval of the angle is [25,50), its corresponding luminance level information can be 40%; when the angle interval of the angle is [0,25), its corresponding luminance level information can be 20%, and so on. It can be understood that, the above luminance level information expressed as a percentage is only an example and should not be considered to be a limit to the present disclosure. The luminance level information can also be expressed in other forms.
At block S340, the screen luminance of the mobile terminal is adjusted according to the luminance level information corresponding to the angle.
According to the method for controlling a mobile terminal of embodiments of the present disclosure, the screen luminance of a mobile terminal can be adjusted in real time according to different angles, for example, by presetting multiple angle intervals each corresponding to a distinct luminance level and adjusting the screen luminance correspondingly according to the interval of the current angle, so as to achieve a real-time adjustment, which improves the availability and feasibility of the present disclosure as well as the power-saving effect.
In order to further improve the power-saving effect and improve user experience, optionally, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, while adjusting the screen luminance of the mobile terminal according to the angle, the method for controlling a mobile terminal may also include: adjusting a working mode of the mobile terminal according to the angle, in which the working mode at least includes a power-saving mode and a standard mode. In embodiments of the present disclosure, when the angle is equal to the first threshold, the mobile terminal is controlled to switch to the power-saving mode; when the angle is equal to the second threshold, the mobile terminal is controlled to switch to the standard mode.
It can be understood that, the above power-saving mode can include turning off the Bluetooth function of the mobile terminal, turning off applications consuming high traffic in the background, and turning off the WiFi (Wireless Fidelity) function without hot spots, and the like. The above standard mode can be understood as the working mode in which a user can use the mobile terminal normally, for example, the user can normally use Bluetooth, WiFi functions and so on.
For instance, the method for controlling a mobile terminal of embodiments of the present disclosure can be applied to an optimization scenario of applications in a mobile terminal, that is, it is assumed that an application may be running normally while the mobile terminal is in a screen-on state, in this case, when the user simply waits for the application to run and nothing else is done on the mobile terminal, the user may place the mobile terminal on the desk to wait for an accomplishment of running of the application, in this way, the application can be optimized through the present disclosure to reduce the power consumption of the mobile terminal.
Corresponding to the method for controlling a mobile terminal provided by the above embodiments, an embodiment of the present disclosure also provides a device for controlling a mobile terminal. Since the device for controlling a mobile terminal provided by embodiments of the present disclosure corresponds to the method for controlling a mobile terminal provided by the above embodiments, the aforementioned implementation of the method for controlling a mobile terminal is also applicable to the device for controlling a mobile terminal provided by this embodiment, which will not be described in detail in this embodiment.
Specifically, the angle calculating module 410 can be configured to calculate an angle between a screen of the mobile terminal and the ground when the mobile terminal is in a screen-on state. As an example, as shown in
The screen luminance adjusting module 420 is configured to adjust, according to the angle, screen luminance of the mobile terminal.
As an example, the specific implementation of adjusting by the screen luminance adjusting module 420 according to the angle, the screen luminance of the mobile terminal, can be as follows: when the angle is equal to a first threshold, the screen luminance of the mobile terminal is controlled to be reduced to a first luminance; when the angle is equal to a second threshold, the screen luminance of the mobile terminal is controlled to be increased to a second luminance, in which the first threshold is less than the second threshold, and the first luminance is less than the second luminance; when the angle is larger than the first threshold and smaller than the second threshold, a screen luminance value of the mobile terminal when the screen luminance was last adjusted is determined, and the screen luminance of the mobile terminal is controlled to be maintained at the screen luminance value. In embodiments of the present disclosure, the first threshold is 0 degrees, and a value range of the second threshold is from 45 to 90 degrees.
As another example, as shown in
Optionally, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in
In embodiments of the present disclosure, when the angle is equal to the first threshold, the working mode adjusting module 430 controls the mobile terminal to switch to the power-saving mode; when the angle is equal to the second threshold, the working mode adjusting module 430 controls the mobile terminal to switch to the standard mode.
According to the device for controlling a mobile terminal of embodiments of the present disclosure, when the mobile terminal is in the screen-on state, the angle between the screen of the mobile terminal and the ground is calculated by the angle calculating module and the screen luminance of the mobile terminal is adjusted by the screen luminance adjusting module according to the angle, such that in the process of adjusting the screen luminance, no manual adjustment by a user is required, thus simplifying user's operation; in addition, since the angle between the screen of the mobile terminal and the ground can perfectly reflect whether the user is using the mobile terminal, the screen luminance is directly adjusted in accordance with the angle between the screen of the mobile terminal and the ground, thereby avoiding a situation that the screen is in a screen-on state with high luminance while the user is not using the mobile terminal, saving power of the mobile terminal, and improving power-saving effect.
In order to realize the above embodiments, the present disclosure also provides a mobile terminal.
At block S110′, when the mobile terminal is in a screen-on state, an angle between a screen of the mobile terminal and the ground is calculated.
At block S120′, screen luminance of the mobile terminal is adjusted according to the angle.
