This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 201710109484.7, filed with the Chinese Patent Office on Feb. 27, 2017, and entitled “METHOD FOR PERFORMING DYNAMIC CONFIGURATION FOR EXTERNAL DEVICE, DEVICE, AND SYSTEM”, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. For mere brief description, the original text is not repeated herein in its entirety.
Embodiments of this application relate to the communications field, and in particular, to a method for performing configuration for an external device, and a device.
With rapid development of electronic technologies, more types of external devices can be connected to a terminal device, and some external devices can support increasingly rich service functions. For example, external devices that currently can be connected to a mobile phone include wearable devices such as a Bluetooth headset and a smartwatch. The smartwatch can support, in synchronization with the mobile phone, services functions such as call making, short message sending/receiving, sleep monitoring, heart rate monitoring, sedentariness reminding, running recording, remote photographing, music playing, video recording, and a compass. Generally, configuration for the external device mainly depends on the terminal device.
In the prior art, to enable the terminal device to perform different configurations based on different types of external devices, both adapted code required for configuring different service functions for different types of external devices and resources required for performing presentation processing at a service layer are usually prestored in the terminal device. In this way, after an external device is connected to the terminal device, the terminal device can perform configuration for the external device based on a type of the external device by using prestored corresponding adapted code and a prestored corresponding resource required for performing presentation processing at the service layer.
However, with an increase in types of external devices and richness of supported service functions, the terminal device needs to store a large volume of adapted code and a large quantity of resources required for performing presentation at the service layer. Only in this way, the terminal device can implement configuration for different types of external devices. Consequently, resource overheads of the terminal device are extremely high. In addition, the solution in the prior art further requires that a version of an application (Application, APP) that is in the terminal device and that is configured to perform configuration for an external device needs to match a version of the external device. Consequently, management and development costs are relatively high.
Embodiments of this application provide a method for performing configuration for an external device, and a device, to resolve a problem that extremely high resource overheads of a terminal device and relatively high management and development costs are caused to perform different configurations for different types of external devices.

401. When detecting that a terminal device is successfully connected to an external device, the terminal device obtains a differentiated resource package of the external device from a target device.
The differentiated resource package of the external device is preconfigured on the target device, the differentiated resource package includes a differentiated service and adapted code and a presentation resource that are corresponding to the differentiated service, and the differentiated service is a specific service supported by the external device.
For example, the target device may be the external device or a server deployed in the cloud. For example, when the target device is the external device, the differentiated resource package of the external device is preconfigured in the external device. When detecting that the terminal device is successfully connected to the external device, the terminal device may obtain the differentiated resource package of the external device from the external device. For another example, when the target device is the server deployed in the cloud, differentiated resource packages of a plurality of different types of external devices are preconfigured in the server. When detecting that the terminal device is successfully connected to an external device, the terminal device may obtain a corresponding differentiated resource package, in other words, obtain a differentiated resource package of the external device, from the server.
402. The terminal device configures a differentiated service for the external device based on adapted code and a presentation resource that are corresponding to the differentiated service.
After obtaining the differentiated resource package of the external device connected to the terminal device, the terminal device may configure the differentiated service for the external device based on the adapted code and the presentation resource that are included in the obtained differentiated resource package and that are corresponding to the differentiated service. For example, the terminal device adds a new service function to the external device based on the obtained differentiated resource package, or upgrades an existing service function of the external device based on the obtained differentiated resource package.
In the method for performing configuration for an external device that is provided in this embodiment of this application, when detecting that the terminal device is successfully connected to the external device, the terminal device obtains the differentiated resource package of the external device from the target device in which the differentiated resource package of the external device is preconfigured, and configures the differentiated service for the external device based on the adapted code and the presentation resource that are included in the obtained differentiated resource package and that are corresponding to the differentiated service. The differentiated resource package of the external device is preconfigured on the target device rather than the terminal device, and when detecting that the terminal device is successfully connected to the external device, the terminal device obtains the differentiated resource package of the external device from the target device, to complete configuration for the external device based on the obtained differentiated resource package of the external device. Therefore, resource overheads of the terminal device and management and development costs are reduced while different configurations are performed for different types of external devices.
It should be noted that to enable a person skilled in the art to implement configuration performed by the terminal device for the external device by using the method for performing configuration for an external device that is provided in this embodiment of this application, this embodiment of this application herein provides an API configured to perform configuration for the external device and an API description. Details are shown in Table 1. The method for performing configuration for an external device that is provided in this embodiment of this application is specifically described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and Table 1.
In Table 1, the function channel “terminal device-external device” is a channel between the terminal device and the external device, the function channel “terminal device-cloud” is a channel between the terminal device and the server, and the function channel “intra-APP” is a call interface between modules inside the terminal device.
501. When detecting that a terminal device is successfully connected to an external device, the terminal device queries whether the external device has a dynamic resource loading capability.
For example, it is assumed that the terminal device is a mobile phone, the external device 5 that needs to access the terminal device is a smartwatch, and the smartwatch is to be connected to the mobile phone by using a Bluetooth technology. When a user wants the smartwatch to be connected to the mobile phone, the user can enable a Bluetooth function of the smartwatch and set this device to be visible to other devices, and then enable a Bluetooth function of the mobile phone. After detecting that the Bluetooth function is enabled, the mobile phone may perform searching and display a search result list. When the search result list includes an identifier of the smartwatch, the user may select the identifier of the smartwatch from the search result list. After detecting the selection operation of the user, the mobile phone sends a pairing request message to the smartwatch. After receiving the pairing request message, the smartwatch may display a prompt box and a confirm button, to prompt the user to determine whether to confirm the connection to the mobile phone. After the user performs a trigger operation on the confirm button, the mobile phone may send a pairing response message to the smartwatch, to notify the mobile phone of confirmation of the connection. In this way, the mobile phone is successfully connected to the smartwatch.
When detecting that the terminal device is successfully connected to the external device, the terminal device may query whether the external device connected to the terminal device has the dynamic resource loading capability. For example, when the terminal device detects that the terminal device is successfully connected to the external device 5, the terminal device may query a capability set of the external device 5, so that the external device 5 returns the capability set of the external device 5 to the terminal device. The capability set includes information for indicating whether the external device 5 has the dynamic resource loading capability. After receiving the capability set of the external device 5 that is returned by the external device 5, the terminal device may determine, based on the returned capability set, whether the external device 5 has the dynamic resource loading capability. If the external device 5 has the dynamic resource loading capability, the following step 502 may be performed. If the external device 5 has no dynamic resource loading capability, the following step 506 may be performed.
502. The terminal device obtains version information of a differentiated resource package of the external device.
After the terminal device determines that the external device has the dynamic resource loading capability, the terminal device may obtain the version information of the differentiated resource package of the external device. For example, the terminal device may call a first API, and the first API is configured to request version information of the differentiated resource package of the external device 5 from the external device 5. When the first API is called, the terminal device sends, to the external device 5, a first request message used to request the version information of the differentiated resource package of the external device 5 from the external device 5. The external device 5 may receive the first request message from the terminal device, and return the version information of the preconfigured differentiated resource package to the terminal device, so that the terminal device obtains the version information of the differentiated resource package of the external device 5.
For example, it is assumed that the terminal device is a mobile phone, and the external device 5 is a smartwatch. Referring to Table 1, the mobile phone may call the function: getDeviceVersionInfo. When getDeviceVersionInfo is called, the mobile phone sends a request message to the smartwatch, to request the smartwatch to report version information of a preconfigured differentiated resource package. When receiving the request message, the smartwatch may report the version information of the differentiated resource package of the smartwatch to the mobile phone.
503. The terminal device determines, based on the version information of the differentiated resource package, whether the terminal device has a compatibility capability to load the differentiated resource package, and whether the terminal device needs to load the differentiated resource package.
After receiving the version information of the differentiated resource package of the external device, the terminal device may determine, based on the received version information, whether the terminal device has the compatibility capability to load the differentiated resource package, and whether the terminal device needs to load the differentiated resource package. If the terminal device has the compatibility capability to load the differentiated resource package and needs to load the differentiated resource package, the following step 504 may be performed. If the terminal device has no compatibility capability to load the differentiated resource package or does not need to load the differentiated resource package, the following step 506 may be performed.
For example, the terminal device may determine whether a version number to which the version information of the differentiated resource package belongs is the same as a version number to which version information of a target APP (the target APP is an APP that is in the terminal device and that is configured to perform configuration for the external device) belongs, to determine whether the terminal device has the compatibility capability to load the differentiated resource package, and when determining that the terminal device has the compatibility capability to load the differentiated resource package, the terminal device may determine whether the version information of the differentiated resource package is the same as the version information of the target APP, to determine whether the terminal device needs to load the differentiated resource package.
For example, it is assumed that the version information that is of the differentiated resource package of the external device 5 and that is obtained in step 502 is 2.5, and version information of a target APP that is in the terminal device and that is configured to perform configuration for the external device 5 is 1.8. It can be learned that the version information of the differentiated resource package belongs to a version number 2, and the version information of the target APP belongs to a version number 1, and therefore the terminal device can determine that the terminal device has no compatibility capability to load the differentiated resource package of the external device 5. In this case, step 506 may be directly performed. For another example, it is assumed that the version information that is of the differentiated resource package of the external device 5 and that is obtained in step 502 is 2.5, and version information of a target APP that is in the terminal device and that is configured to perform configuration for the external device 5 is 2.1. It can be learned that the version information of the differentiated resource package belongs to a version number 2, and the version information of the target APP also belongs to a version number 2, and therefore the terminal device can determine that the terminal device has the compatibility capability to load the differentiated resource package of the external device 5. In addition, the version information of the differentiated resource package is different from the version information of the target APP, and therefore the terminal device can determine that the terminal device needs to load the differentiated resource package. In this case, step 504 may be performed.
504. The terminal device obtains the differentiated resource package of the external device from the external device.
For example, the terminal device may call a second API, and the second API is configured to request the differentiated resource package of the external device 5 from the external device 5. When the second API is called, the terminal device sends, to the external device 5, a second request message used to request the differentiated resource package from the external device. The external device 5 may receive the second request message from the terminal device, and send the differentiated resource package of the external device 5 to the terminal device, so that the terminal device obtains the differentiated resource package of the external device 5.
For example, it is assumed that the terminal device is a mobile phone, and the external device 5 is a smartwatch. Referring to Table 1, the mobile phone may call the function: loadDeviceModuleFile. When loadDeviceModuleFile is called, the mobile phone sends a request message to the smartwatch, to request the smartwatch to report a preconfigured differentiated resource package of the smartwatch. When receiving the request message, the smartwatch may report the differentiated resource package of the smartwatch to the mobile phone. The differentiated resource package includes the differentiated service 3 and the adapted code and the presentation resource that are corresponding to the differentiated service 3.
505. The terminal device configures a differentiated service for the external device based on adapted code and a presentation resource that are corresponding to the differentiated service.
After the terminal device receives the differentiated resource package of the external device, the terminal device may first decompress the received differentiated resource package, and then configure the differentiated service for the external device based on the adapted code and the presentation resource that are obtained through decompression, that are included in the differentiated resource package, and that are corresponding to the differentiated service.
For example, the terminal device may first obtain built-in summary information from the differentiated resource package through parsing. The built-in summary information may include constraint information such as a preprocessing script and a storage path (the storage path is a packaging path of the presentation resource that is included in the differentiated resource package and that is corresponding to the differentiated service, and may be customized). Then, the terminal device may call a fifth API, and the fifth API is configured to read a first script file. After the fifth API is called, the terminal device may load the read first script file to complete preprocessing before loading the differentiated resource package. For example, the preprocessing may include: clearing an old resource package, starting a loading module, and running the preprocessing script included in the built-in summary information. After completing the preprocessing, the terminal device may call a sixth API, and the sixth API is configured to read a second script file. After the sixth API is called, the terminal device may load the read second script file to load the adapted code and the presentation resource that are corresponding to the differentiated service, to complete configuration for the external device. The presentation resource may include a picture resource, a video resource, a voice resource, and the like.
For example, it is assumed that the terminal device is a mobile phone, and the external device 5 is a smartwatch. Referring to Table 1, the mobile phone may call the function: beforeInstall. When beforeInstall is called, the mobile phone reads a first script file. After reading the first script file, the mobile phone loads the first script file to complete preprocessing before loading a differentiated resource package. After completing the preprocessing, the mobile phone calls the function: install. When install is called, the mobile phone reads a second script file. After reading the second script file, the mobile phone loads the second script file to load adapted code and a presentation resource that are corresponding to a differentiated service, to complete configuration for the external device.
Further, as shown in Table 1, this embodiment of this application further provides a function for performing preprocessing before the adapted code is run: beforeStart, a function for running the adapted code: start, a function for performing preprocessing before the adapted code is stopped: beforeStop, a function for stopping the adapted code: stop, a function for performing preprocessing before the adapted code is offloaded: beforeUninstall, and a function for offloading the adapted code: uninstall. A corresponding function may be called to complete a corresponding function. In addition, after the mobile phone completes configuration for the external device, the mobile phone may implement data transmission between the mobile phone and the external device by calling different functions for different external devices. For example, assuming that the smartwatch is a Bluetooth low energy (Bluetooth Low Energy, BLE) device, the terminal device may call the function: BLEChannelListener, to listen to code stream transmission: call the function: BLEChannelSender, to send a code stream: call the function: BLEFileListener, to listen to file transfer; and call the function: BLEFileSender, to send a file. For another example, assuming that the smartphone is a conventional Bluetooth transmission rate (Bluetooth Rate, BR) device, the terminal device may call the function: BRChannelListener, to listen to code stream transmission; call the function: BRChannelSender, to send a code stream: call the function: BLEFileListener, to listen to file transfer; and call the function: BRFileSender, to send a file. For still another example, assuming that the smartphone is an Android wearable (Android Wearable) device, the terminal device may call the function: AWChannelListener, to listen to code stream transmission; call the function: AWChannelSender, to send a code stream; call the function: AWFileListener, to listen to file transfer; and call the function: AWFileSender, to send a file. As shown in Table 1, after configuration is completed, a corresponding function may be called to display the differentiated service 3. For example, the function: parentActivityInfo is called to obtain parent activity information when the differentiated service 3 is displayed, and the function: hideModule is called to hide a service module of the differentiated service 3. Certainly, corresponding functions may be further called to complete initialization, starting, stopping, releasing, and the like of the service module of the differentiated service 3.
506. The terminal device displays prompt information.
The terminal device displays the prompt information if the external device has no dynamic resource loading capability, or the terminal device has no compatibility capability to load the differentiated resource package, or the terminal device determines that the terminal device does not need to load the differentiated resource package. For example, the terminal device may display prompt information used to prompt the user to upgrade a version of the target APP of the terminal device, or may display prompt information used to give the user a prompt that the external device does not have a specific function.
It should be noted that in this embodiment of this application, an example in which one external device accesses the terminal device is used to describe the method for performing configuration for an external device. A process of performing configuration for another external device that accesses the terminal device is similar to the foregoing process. Details are not described herein in this embodiment of this application.
In the method for performing configuration for an external device that is provided in this embodiment of this application, when detecting that the terminal device is successfully connected to the external device, the terminal device obtains the differentiated resource package of the external device from the target device in which the differentiated resource package of the external device is preconfigured, and configures the differentiated service for the external device based on the adapted code and the presentation resource that are included in the obtained differentiated resource package and that are corresponding to the differentiated service. The differentiated resource package of the external device is preconfigured on the target device rather than the terminal device, and when detecting that the terminal device is successfully connected to the external device, the terminal device obtains the differentiated resource package of the external device from the target device, to complete configuration for the external device based on the obtained differentiated resource package of the external device. Therefore, while different configurations are performed for different types of external devices, resource overheads of the terminal device are reduced, and management and development costs are reduced by completely decoupling different services of different external devices from the terminal device.
601. When detecting that a terminal device is successfully connected to an external device, the terminal device queries whether the external device has a dynamic resource loading capability.
When detecting that the terminal device is successfully connected to the external device 5, the terminal device may query whether the external device 5 connected to the terminal device has the dynamic resource loading capability. If the external device 5 has the dynamic resource loading capability, the following step 602 may be performed. If the external device 5 has no dynamic resource loading capability, the following step 605 may be performed.
602. The terminal device obtains hardware version information and software version information of the external device.
After the terminal device determines that the external device has the dynamic resource loading capability, the terminal device may obtain the hardware version information and the software version information of the external device. The hardware version information may include at least one of the following: a hardware version number, a device type, an international mobile equipment identity (International Mobile Equipment Identity, IMEI) number, a Media Access Control (Media Access Control, MAC) address, and the like. For example, the terminal device may call a third API, and the third API is configured to request the hardware version information and the software version information of the external device from the external device. When the third API is called, the terminal device sends, to the external device 5, a fourth request message used to request hardware version information and software version information of the external device 5 from the external device 5. The external device 5 may receive the fourth request message from the terminal device, and return the hardware version information and the software version information of the external device 5 to the terminal device, so that the terminal device obtains the hardware version information and the software version information of the external device 5.
For example, it is assumed that the terminal device is a mobile phone, and the external device 5 is a smartwatch. The mobile phone may call a corresponding function, and when the function is called, the mobile phone sends a request message to the smartwatch, to request the smartwatch to report hardware version information and software version information of the smartwatch. When receiving the request message, the smartwatch may report the hardware version information and the software version information of the smartwatch to the mobile phone.
603. The terminal device determines, based on the hardware version information and the software version information of the external device, whether the terminal device has a compatibility capability to load a differentiated resource package, and whether the terminal device needs to load the differentiated resource package.
After receiving the hardware version information and the software version information of the external device, the terminal device may determine, based on the hardware version information and the software version information, whether the terminal device has the compatibility capability to load the differentiated resource package, and whether the terminal device needs to load the differentiated resource package. If the terminal device has the compatibility capability to load the differentiated resource package and needs to load the differentiated resource package, the following step 604 may be performed. If the terminal device has no compatibility capability to load the differentiated resource package or does not need to load the differentiated resource package, the following step 606 may be performed.
604. The terminal device obtains the differentiated resource package of the external device from a server based on the hardware version information and the software version information.
After determining that the terminal device has the compatibility capability to load the differentiated resource package and needs to load the differentiated resource package, the terminal device may obtain the differentiated resource package of the external device from the server based on the received hardware version information and software version information of the external device.
For example, the terminal device may call a fourth API, and the fourth API is configured to: upload the hardware version information and the software version information of the external device 5 to the server, and request the server to return the differentiated resource package. When the fourth API is called, the terminal device uploads the hardware version information and the software version information of the external device 5 to the server, and sends, to the server, a third request message used to request the server to return the differentiated resource package. After receiving the hardware version information and the software version information of the external device 5 and the third request message, the server may obtain the differentiated resource package of the external device 5 from prestored differentiated resource packages of a plurality of external devices based on the hardware version information and the software version information of the external device 5, and send the obtained differentiated resource package of the external device 5 to the terminal device, so that the terminal device obtains the differentiated resource package of the external device 5.
For example, it is assumed that the terminal device is a mobile phone, and the external device 5 is a smartwatch. Referring to Table 1, the mobile phone may call the function: requireUpdate. When requireUpdate is called, the mobile phone uploads hardware version information and software version information of the smartwatch to the server, and sends a request message to the server, to request the server to return a differentiated resource package of the smartwatch. When receiving the hardware version information, the software version information, and the request message, the server may obtain the differentiated resource package of the smartwatch based on the hardware version information and the software version information, and send the differentiated resource package of the smartwatch to the mobile phone. The differentiated resource package includes the differentiated service 3 and the adapted code and the presentation resource that are corresponding to the differentiated service 3. [0142] 605. The terminal device configures a differentiated service for the external device based on adapted code and a presentation resource that are corresponding to the differentiated service.
606. The terminal device displays prompt information.
If the external device has no dynamic resource loading capability, the terminal device displays the prompt information.
It should be noted that for detailed descriptions of step 601 to step 606 in this embodiment of this application, refer to detailed descriptions of corresponding steps in step 501 to step 506 in another embodiment of this application. Details are not described herein again in this embodiment of this application. In addition, in this embodiment of this application, an example in which one external device accesses the terminal device is used to describe the method for performing configuration for an external device. A process of performing configuration for another external device that accesses the terminal device is similar to the foregoing process. Details are not described herein in this embodiment of this application.
In the method for performing configuration for an external device that is provided in this embodiment of this application, when detecting that the terminal device is successfully connected to the external device, the terminal device obtains the differentiated resource package of the external device from the target device in which the differentiated resource package of the external device is preconfigured, and configures the differentiated service for the external device based on the adapted code and the presentation resource that are included in the obtained differentiated resource package and that are corresponding to the differentiated service. The differentiated resource package of the external device is preconfigured on the target device rather than the terminal device, and when detecting that the terminal device is successfully connected to the external device, the terminal device obtains the differentiated resource package of the external device from the target device, to complete configuration for the external device based on the obtained differentiated resource package of the external device. Therefore, while different configurations are performed for different types of external devices, resource overheads of the terminal device are reduced, and management and development costs are reduced by completely decoupling different services of different external devices from the terminal device.
To facilitate understanding by a person skilled in the art, examples are used herein in the embodiments of this application to describe the method for performing configuration for an external device that is provided in this application.
Example 1: It is assumed that an external device is a child watch, and a terminal device is a mobile phone. A differentiated resource package of a Bluetooth leash service is preconfigured in the child watch, and the differentiated resource package includes the Bluetooth leash service and adapted code and a presentation resource that are corresponding to the Bluetooth leash service. After the child watch is successfully connected to the mobile phone, the mobile phone may call a function: loadDeviceModuleFile when determining that the child watch has a dynamic resource loading capability, and the mobile phone has a compatibility capability to load the differentiated resource package and needs to load the differentiated resource package. The child watch receives a request message used to request the child watch to report the differentiated resource package of the Bluetooth leash service. In this case, the child watch may report the differentiated resource package of the Bluetooth leash service to the mobile phone. After receiving the differentiated resource package of the Bluetooth leash service, the mobile phone may configure the Bluetooth leash service for the child watch based on the adapted code and the presentation resource that are included in the differentiated resource package of the Bluetooth leash service. In this way, the child watch can trace a movement track of a child.
Example 2: It is assumed that an external device is a running watch, and a terminal device is a mobile phone. A differentiated resource package of an oxygen consumption amount detection service is preconfigured in the running watch, and the differentiated resource package includes the oxygen consumption amount detection service and adapted code and a presentation resource that are corresponding to the oxygen consumption amount detection service. After the running watch is successfully connected to the mobile phone, the mobile phone may call a function: loadDeviceModuleFile when determining that the running watch has a dynamic resource loading capability, and the mobile phone has a compatibility capability to load the differentiated resource package and needs to load the differentiated resource package. The running watch receives a request message used to request the running watch to report the differentiated resource package of the oxygen consumption amount detection service. In this case, the running watch may report the differentiated resource package of the oxygen consumption amount detection service to the mobile phone. After receiving the differentiated resource package of the oxygen consumption amount detection service, the mobile phone may configure the oxygen consumption amount detection service for the running watch based on the adapted code and the presentation resource that are included in the differentiated resource package of the oxygen consumption amount detection service. In this way, the running watch can monitor an oxygen consumption amount of a user.
Example 3: It is assumed that an external device is a smartwatch, and a terminal device is a mobile phone. The smartwatch supports a heart rate monitoring service, a differentiated resource package of the heart rate monitoring service is stored in a server in the cloud, and the differentiated resource package includes the heart rate monitoring service and adapted code and a presentation resource that are corresponding to the heart rate monitoring service. After the smartwatch is successfully connected to the mobile phone, the mobile phone may call a function: requireUpdate when determining that the smartwatch has a dynamic resource loading capability, and the mobile phone has a compatibility capability to load the differentiated resource package and needs to load the differentiated resource package. The smartwatch receives hardware version information and software version information of the smartwatch and a request message used to request the smartwatch to report the differentiated resource package of the heart rate monitoring service. In this case, the smartwatch may obtain, based on the hardware version information and the software version information, the differentiated resource package of the smartwatch, namely, the differentiated resource package of the heart rate monitoring service, and report the differentiated resource package to the mobile phone. After receiving the differentiated resource package of the heart rate monitoring service, the mobile phone may configure the heart rate monitoring service for the smartwatch based on the adapted code and the presentation resource that are included in the differentiated resource package of the heart rate monitoring service. In this way, the smartwatch can monitor a heart rate of a user.
The solutions provided in the embodiments of this application are mainly described above from the perspective of interaction between network elements. It may be understood that to implement the foregoing functions, the network elements such as the terminal device and the target device include corresponding hardware structures and/or software modules for performing the functions. A person skilled in the art should be easily aware that the algorithm steps in the examples described with reference to the embodiments disclosed in this specification can be implemented by hardware or a combination of hardware and computer software in this application. Whether the functions are performed by hardware or computer software driving hardware depends on particular applications and design constraint conditions of the technical solutions. A person skilled in the art may use different methods to implement the described functions for each particular application, but it should not be considered that the implementation goes beyond the scope of this application.
In the embodiments of this application, the terminal device may be divided into function modules based on the foregoing method examples. For example, each function module may be obtained through division based on each corresponding function, or two or more functions may be integrated into one processing module. The integrated module may be implemented in a form of hardware, or may be implemented in a form of a software function module. It should be noted that the module division in the embodiments of this application is an example and is merely logical function division, and there may be another division manner during actual implementation.
For example, when each function module is obtained through division based on each corresponding function,
