In order to more clearly illustrate the method and the apparatus device of waking up the operating system, the electronic device, and the storage medium, an application scenario in which the method of waking up the operating system may be applied will be firstly introduced. In some embodiments, the method may be applied to an electronic device capable of running a plurality of operating systems. The electronic device includes, but not limited to, a portable device such as a mobile phones and a tablet computer, a wearable device such as a smart watch and a smart bracelet, and a desktop device such as a television and a desktop computer, which will not be limited herein.
As shown in
It is understood that the first operating system 110 and the second operating system 120 may have different computing and processing capabilities and power consumptions. In some embodiments, the first operating system 110 may include, but is not limited to, the Android (Android) operating system, the Linux operating system. The second operating system 120 may include, but is not limited to, the Real Time Operating System (RTOS), the Windows operating system. Further, the electronic device may include one or more hardware modules. The hardware modules may include, but not limited to, buttons, a touch screen, and sensors. In some embodiments, some of the hardware modules may still be in a running state when the operating system is in a sleeping state. The hardware modules in the running state may generate a wake-up signal when a wake-up condition is met, and the wake-up signal may control a corresponding operating system to be switched from the sleeping state to the running state. For example, the touch screen corresponds to the first operating system, and the first operating system is in the sleeping state. In this case, when the touch screen detects a touch signal, the touch screen may generate the wake-up signal to wake up the first operating system by the wake-up signal.
The electronic device may configure one or more hardware modules as a wake-up module for each operating system to automatically wake up the corresponding operating system through the wake-up signal generated by the wake-up module. The user does not need to perform operations to manually switch between the operating systems, such that the intelligence of the electronic device is improved.
In some embodiments, the wake-up module corresponding to the operating system may be flexibly configured by the electronic device or the user according to demands, which is not limited herein. To be noted that, in an example, a hardware module 1 and a hardware module 2 in
Accordingly, the method of waking up the operating system in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in the following.
As shown in
In a block 202, in a case that the first operating system and/or the second operating system are in the sleeping state, and a target operating system corresponding to a target wake-up module is controlled to be switched, based on a wake-up signal, from the sleeping state to the running state. The wake-up signal is generated by the target wake-up module.
In some embodiments, the electronic device may include a plurality of different operating systems, such as 2, 3, or 4 operating systems, which is not limited herein. It is understood that in order to facilitate illustration of the method of waking up the operating system in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the embodiments are illustrated by taking two operating systems as an example (i.e., the first operating system and the second operating system), which shall not limit the present disclosure.
In some embodiments, the target operating system corresponding to the target wake-up module may be the first operating system or the second operating system. When the target wake-up module is configured, in advance, as the wake-up module of the first operating system, the target operating system is the first operating system. Similarly, when the target wake-up module is configured, in advance, as the wake-up module of the second operating system, the target operating system is the second operating system. The target wake-up module may be a display screen, a keypad, or any sensor arranged in the electronic device, which is not limited herein.
In the sleeping state, in a case that a battery power level of the electronic device is not consumed, only essential functions of the operating system are running, functions of the operating system other than the essential functions are all shut down, and the operating system is able to be woken up in time to switch from the sleeping state to the running state. The essential functions may include, but are not limited to, a function of receiving the wake-up signal, a function of saving system data, and the like.
In the art, when the operating system is in the sleeping state, the user may need to manually wake up the operating system, such that an operating system desired by the user is switched on. In this way, a switching process is complicated, and the intelligence of the electronic device is poor.
In some embodiments, the electronic device may configure the wake-up module for each operating system correspondingly. The wake-up module may generate the wake-up signal when the wake-up condition is met, and the corresponding operating system is controlled to switch from the sleeping state to the running state based on the wake-up signal. The user does not need to manually switch between the operating systems, such that the intelligence of the electronic device is improved. In some embodiments, the wake-up module may determine, in response to detecting a target event trigger, that the wake-up module meets the wake-up condition. For example, a modem module may determine that the modem module meets the wake-up condition in response to detecting a call event trigger. The touch screen may determine that the touch screen meets the wake-up condition in response to detecting a touch event trigger. Detailed wake-up condition will not be limited herein.
According to the method in the above embodiments, in the case that the first operating system and/or the second operating system is in the sleeping state, the target operating system corresponding to the target wake-up module is controlled to be switched, based on the wake-up signal, from the sleeping state to the running state, and the wake-up signal is generated by the target wake-up module. In other words, according to the embodiments of the present disclosure, the electronic device may automatically switch to the operating system corresponding to the target wake-up module, without requiring the user to manually perform the switching, such that the intelligence of the electronic device is improved. In addition, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the process of waking up and switching the operating system is performed automatically at a background of the electronic device. The user does not sense the switching between the operating systems, such that senseless switching is achieved, and a user experience is improved.
As shown in
In a block 302, in the case that the first operating system and/or the second operating system is in the sleeping state, the target operating system corresponding to the target wake-up module is controlled to be switched from the sleeping state to the running state based on the wake-up signal, and the wake-up signal is generated by the target wake-up module.
In some embodiments, the target operating system corresponding to the target wake-up module may be configured by the electronic device or by the user. In some embodiments, the target operating system may be an optimal operating system for processing a target event. The target event is an event that triggers the target wake-up module to generate the wake-up signal. The optimal operating system is an operating system that has a processing effect on the target event greater than an effect threshold. The processing effect includes a processing quality and/or a processing effect. In this regard, a subsequent target operating system that is woken up may process the target event to improve the processing effect on the target event.
In some embodiments, the target operating system may be determined based on a system selection instruction entered by the user. The system selection instruction includes either the first operating system or the second operating system.
For example, in a case that the system selection instruction includes the first operating system, the first operating system may be served as the target operating system corresponding to the target wake-up module.
In another embodiment, the target operating system may be an operating system determined, from the first operating system and the second operating system, by the electronic device according to a matching rule. The matching rule includes the operating system corresponding to each wake-up module. For example, the touch screen corresponds to the first operating system, the keypad correspond to the second operating system, and so on, which will not be limited herein. Further, in the example, when the target wake-up module is the touch screen, the electronic device may take the first operating system as the target operating system; and when the target wake-up module is the keypad, the electronic device may take the second operating system as the target operating system.
To be further noted that, one target wake-up module usually corresponds to only one target operating system, so as to prevent, after one target wake-up module generating the wake-up signal, conflicts due to a plurality of target operating systems corresponding to one target wake-up module running at the same time. In some embodiments, one target operating system may correspond to N target wake-up modules. Further, when M target wake-up modules of the N target wake-up modules generate wake-up signals, the target operating system may switch from the sleeping state to the running state. The N is a positive integer, and the M is a positive integer less than or equal to N.
In a block 304, the target event corresponding to the wake-up signal is processed by the target operating system.
In some embodiments, the target event may refer to various functional tasks that can be processed by the electronic device. The target event includes, but not limited to: a telephone call event, an alarm clock event, a keypad-typing event, a touch event, and so on. When a trigger of the target event is detected by the wake-up module, the wake-up module may generate the corresponding wake-up signal.
As described above, the target operating system that is woken up is usually the optimal operating system for processing the target event corresponding to the wake-up signal. Therefore, after the target operating system is switched from the sleeping state to the running state, the target event corresponding to the wake-up signal is processed by the target operating system in order to improve the processing effect on the target event.
In some embodiments, during the target operating system processing the target event, other sub-modules or a non-target operating system in the electronic device may need to process the target event cooperatively with the target operating system. For example, when the target operating system is processing the alarm clock event, a loud speaker module is required to output a prompting audio. In another example, when the target operating system is processing the telephone call event, the non-target operating system has an authority to answer the telephone call, and therefore, the target operating system may send the telephone call event to the non-target operating system for processing.
In this regard, in an embodiment, the target operating system may determine the sub-module and/or the non-target operating system that is required to process the target event corresponding to the wake-up signal. The non-target operating system may be one of the first operating system and the second operating system, other than the target operating system. For example, when the target operating system is the first operating system, the non-target operating system is the second operating system; and when the target operating system is the second operating system, the non-target operating system is the first operating system. The sub-module may be a hardware module that is installed in the electronic device and is used to process the target event, such as the display screen, a loud speaker, or any sensor, which will not be limited herein.
Further, the target operating system may send the target event to the sub-module and/or the non-target operating system to cause the sub-module and/or the non-target operating system to process the target event.
According to the above method, the other sub-modules or the non-target operating system required for processing the target event may be further determined, enabling the target event to be processed by a more matching and more specialized module or operating system. In this way, it is ensured that the target event is processed in time, and the processing effect on the target event is improved.
In an embodiment, when the target operating system determines that the target event needs to be processed by the non-target operating system and the non-target operating system is in the sleeping state, the target operating system sends a running instruction to the non-target operating system, such that the non-target operating system is switched from the sleeping state to the running state after receiving the running instruction.
In some embodiments, a data transmission link may be established between the target operating system and the non-target operating system, such that the target operating system sends the running instruction to the non-target operating system via the data transmission link. In another embodiment, the target operating system and the non-target operating system may transmit other data or instructions to each other via the data transmission link, which will not be limited herein.
According to the above method, when the non-target operating system is required to process the target event, the target operating system directly triggers the non-target operating system in the sleeping state to switch to the running state to process the target event, without requiring the user to manually perform the switching, such that the intelligence of the electronic device is improved.
In another embodiment, when it is determined that the non-target operating system is satisfied with switching to the sleeping state, the non-target operating system may determine at least one shared module, from all shared modules in the electronic device, to be configured as a wake-up module corresponding to the non-target operating system, and the non-target operating system is controlled to switch to the sleeping state. The shared module is a module that serves as the wake-up module for the first operating system or the second operating system.
In some embodiments, when it is determined that the non-target operating system is in an idle state for a first time length (the first time length may be set by a developer based on a large amount of development data, and a typical value may be 30 seconds, 50 seconds, and so on, which is not limited herein), it is determined that the non-target operating system meets a situation of switching to the sleeping state. The idle state refers to a state in which the non-target operating system is not processing the target event.
In another embodiment, when it is determined that any first association module associated with the non-target operating system is in a non-operating state, it is determined that the non-target operating system meets the condition of switching to the sleeping state. The first association module is a module that needs to be controlled by the non-target operating system, and the non-operating state includes the sleeping state and a shutdown state.
According to the above method, the non-target operating system may automatically configure the wake-up module for itself when the non-target operating system is about to enter the sleeping state. In this way, subsequently, the non-target operating system may automatically switch to the running state according to the wake-up signal generated by the wake-up module without requiring the user to manually wake up the non-target operating system or manually perform the switching. Therefore, the intelligence of the electronic device is improved.
In some embodiments, the electronic device may further include one or more public peripheral apparatuses including, but not limited to, a display apparatus, the loud speaker, the keypad, and so on, which is not limited herein.
It is understood that since the electronic device includes the plurality of operating systems, in order to prevent conflicts due to the plurality of operating systems controlling a same peripheral apparatus at the same time, the operating system needs to have a control authority for the peripheral apparatus in order to control the peripheral apparatus. In this regard, the target operating system may switch the control authority for the peripheral apparatus from one operating system to another operating system, such that the target operating system may process the target event based on the peripheral apparatus.
In some embodiments, when both the target operating system and the non-target operating system are in the sleeping state before the target operating system corresponding to the target wake-up module is controlled to be switched from the sleeping state to the running state based on the wake-up signal, neither the target operating system nor the non-target operating system has the control authority for the peripheral apparatus. In this case, the control authority for the peripheral apparatus may be directly configured to the target operating system.
In another embodiment, before the target operating system corresponding to the target wake-up module is controlled to be switched from the sleeping state to the running state based on the wake-up signal, the non-target operating system is in the running state, and the non-target operating system has the control authority for the peripheral apparatus. In this case, the target operating system sends a switching instruction to the non-target operating system, and the non-target operating system may, based on the switching instruction, switch the control authority for the peripheral apparatus to the target operating system. In some embodiments, the non-target operating system may further switch the target operating system to running at a foreground of the electronic device based on the switching instruction.
According to the above method, the control authority for the peripheral apparatus of the electronic device is configured to the target operating system to enable the target operating system to assist in processing the target event through the peripheral device. In this way, the processing effect and a processing efficiency of the target event is improved. Furthermore, a control instruction sent by the target operating system to the peripheral apparatus may be prevented from conflicting with a control instruction sent by other operating systems, ensuring the electronic device to operate normally.
Further, after configuring the control authority of the peripheral apparatus of the electronic device to the target operating system, the target operating system may receive an input target operation via the peripheral apparatus (e.g., the keypad, the touch screen, or a sound acquisition apparatus), such that the target operating system may process the input target operation.
For example, the target operating system may receive an input touch operation via the touch screen, and processes and responds to the touch operation. In another example, the target operating system may collect sound information via the sound acquisition apparatus, and then processes the sound information, which will not be limited herein.
In another embodiment, after configuring the control authority for the peripheral device of the electronic device to the target operating system, the target operating system may control the peripheral apparatus to perform a corresponding operation based on a processing result. The processing result is a result obtained by the target operating system processing the target event.
For example, the target operating system processes the alarm clock event and obtains a processing result in which the display screen needs to be switched to a screen-on state to display an alarm clock interface, and the loud speaker outputs a prompting audio. In this case, the target operating system may control the display screen to switch to the screen-on state to display the alarm clock interface and control the loud speaker to output the prompting audio.
According to the above method, after having the control authority for the peripheral apparatus, the electronic device may receive the operation input from the user or output the processing result through the peripheral apparatus. In this way, the target operating system may have the improved processing effect and processing efficiency of the target event with assistance of the peripheral apparatus.
In another embodiment, after configuring the control authority for the peripheral apparatus of the electronic device to the target operating system, the target operating system may receive a second processing result and control the peripheral apparatus to perform a corresponding operation according to the second processing result. The second processing result is a result obtained by the non-target operating system processing the target event.
The above describes a case in which the target operating system has the control authority for the peripheral apparatus. In some embodiments, before the target operating system corresponding to the target wake-up module is controlled to switch from the sleeping state to the running state based on the wake-up signal, the non-target operating system is already in the running state and has the control authority for the peripheral apparatus. In this case, the target operating system may send a peripheral control instruction to the non-target operating system, and the non-target operating system may control the peripheral apparatus to perform a corresponding operation based on the peripheral control instruction sent by the target operating system. The peripheral control instruction is obtained by the target operating system processing the target event.
For example, the target operating system processes the alarm clock event and obtains the processing result. The processing result includes the loud speaker outputting the prompting audio. In this case, the target operating system may generate a peripheral control instruction for the loud speaker and send the peripheral control instruction to the non-target operating system. The non-target operating system may control the loud speaker to output the prompting audio based on the peripheral control instruction.
According to the above method, when the target operating system is running at the background of the electronic device and does not have the control authority for the peripheral apparatus, the target operating system may send the processing result to the non-target operating system that is running at the foreground and has the control authority for the peripheral apparatus. In this way, the non-target operating system controls the peripheral apparatus to perform the corresponding operation according to the received processing result. Flexibility of the processing the target events in the electronic device is improved, and the processing efficiency of the target event is improved.
It is further noted that the target operating system processes the target event, the control authority for the peripheral apparatus is configured to the target operating system, or the target operating system is allowed to generate the peripheral control instruction to be sent to the non-target operating system that has the control authority of the peripheral apparatus, only when the obtained processing result requires the peripheral apparatus to be used. In some embodiments, when the obtained processing result does not require the peripheral apparatus to be used, the control authority for the peripheral apparatus may not be configured to the target operating system, in order to prevent the control authority for the peripheral apparatus from being switched frequently.
According to the above method, the operating system matching the target wake-up module may be automatically switched based on the target wake-up module without requiring the user to manually perform the switching, such that the intelligence of the electronic device is improved. In addition, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, the process of waking up the operating system and switching between the operating systems is automatically performed at the background of the electronic device, and the user has no sense for the switching between the operating systems, the senseless switching is achieved, the usage experience is improved. In addition, the other sub-modules or the non-targeted operating system required for processing the target event are further determined, so that the target event can be processed by a more matched and more specialized module or operating system. Therefore, the target event is processed in time, and the processing effect of the target event is improved. The control authority of the peripheral apparatus of the electronic device can be switched to the target operating system, enabling the target operating system to assist in processing the target event through the peripheral apparatus, such that the processing effect and the processing efficiency of the target event is improved. The control instructions sent by the target operating system to the peripheral apparatus are prevented from conflicting with instructions sent by the other operating systems, ensuring the electronic device to operate normally. After having the control authority of the peripheral apparatus, the electronic device may receive the operation input from the user or output the processing result through the peripheral apparatus, such that the target operating system may have the improved processing effect and the improved processing efficiency of the target event with the assistance of the peripheral apparatus.
In order to more clearly illustrate the method of waking up the operating system disclosed in the embodiments, the method is described below base on a timing diagram in
As shown in
As shown in
As shown in
As shown in
The method of waking up the operating system may be applied to the electronic device described above. The electronic device may run at least the first operating system and the second operating system. The method may include the following blocks.
In a block 702, when the first operating system and/or the second operating system is in the sleeping state, and when the target wake-up module generates the wake-up signal, the target operating system corresponding to the target wake-up module is controlled to switch from the sleeping state to the running state based on the wake-up signal.
In an embodiment, after the target operating system corresponding to the target wake-up module is controlled to switch from the sleeping state to the operation state based on the wake-up signal, when the target operating system detects that the display apparatus of the electronic device is switched to a screen-off state, the target operating system is controlled to switch to the sleeping state.
In some embodiments, when the target operating system detects that the display apparatus of the electronic device is switched to the screen-off state and stays in the screen-off state for an screen-off time length, the target operating system is controlled to switch to the sleeping state.
In a case that the target operating system switches to the sleeping state immediately after the display apparatus is screen-off and the display apparatus is screen-on within a short period of time, which requires the target operating system to be switched to the running state again, the target operating system may be switched frequently in a short period of time. therefore, normal operation of the electronic device may be affected. Therefore, the first time length may be greater than 0 seconds, such as 10 seconds, 20 seconds, and so on, which is not limited herein. In this way, after the display apparatus is screen-off, a certain time length can be given to the electronic device, preventing the target operating system from being frequently switched in a short period of time.
In some embodiments, when the first operating system and/or the second operating system is in the sleeping state, a first wake-up signal generated by a first wake-up module for the target operating system is detected, and a second wake-up signal generated by a second wake-up module for the other operating system is detected. In this case, when an importance level corresponding to the first target event corresponding to the first wake-up signal is greater than an importance level corresponding to the second target event corresponding to the second wake-up signal, the target operating system is controlled to switch from the sleeping state to the running state based on the first wake-up signal. The other operating system is an operating system other than the target operating system from the first operating system and the second operating system.
When wake-up signal for different operating systems are received at the same time, the operating system having the higher importance level is woken up to process the target event having the higher importance level.
In a case, the first operating system and/or the second operating system is in the sleeping state, and a third wake-up signal generated by a shared wake-up module for the target operating system and a fourth wake-up signal generated by an exclusive wake-up module for the target operating system are detected. In this case, the target operating system is controlled to be switched from the sleeping state to the running state based on the fourth wake-up signal. The third wake-up signal generated by the shared wake-up module can wake up the target operating system or the other operating system. The other operating system is the operating system other than the target operating system in the first operating system and the second operating system. The fourth wake-up signal generated by the exclusive wake-up module can wake up only the target operating system.
According to the above method, the corresponding operating system can be woken up firstly according to the wake-up signal generated by the exclusive wake-up module, preventing the wake-up signal mistakenly generated by the shared wake-up module from waking up the target operating system incorrectly, such that a fault tolerance of the method is improved.
In a block 704, when it is determined that the target operating system is satisfied with switching to the sleeping state, the target operating system determines at least one of shared module from all shared modules included in the electronic device to be configured as the wake-up module corresponding to the target operating system, and the target operating system is controlled to switch to the sleeping state.
In some embodiments, when it is determined that the target operating system is in the idle state for a second time length (the second time length may be set by a developer based on a large amount of development data, having a typical value of 35 seconds, 45 seconds, and so on, which is not limited herein), it is determined that the target operating system is satisfied with the switching to the sleeping state. The idle state refers to a state in which the target operating system is not processing any target event.
In another embodiment, when it is determined that any second associated modules associated with the target operating system is in the non-operating state, it is determined that the target operating system is satisfied with switching to the sleeping state. The second associated module is a module that needs to be controlled by the target operating system, and the non-operating state includes the sleeping state and the shut down state.
In some embodiments, the electronic device includes a first exclusive module corresponding to the target operating system and/or a second exclusive module corresponding to the non-target operating system. A wake-up signal generated by the first exclusive module is used to wake up only the target operating system, and a wake-up signal generated by the second exclusive module is used to wake up only the non-target operating system. In some embodiments, the first exclusive module and the second exclusive module may wake up the corresponding operating module without being configured to the corresponding operating system.
In another embodiment, the electronic device may further include the shared module, the shared module is a module that is configured as the wake-up module for the first operating system or the second operating system. Therefore, the wake-up signal generated by the shared module is used to wake up the target operating system or the non-target operating system. In this regard, in order to avoid conflicts due to the target operating system and the non-target operating system being woken up at the same time, the shared module can be configured as the wake-up module corresponding to only one operating system when the operating system is about to enter the sleeping state, such that the wake-up signals generated by the shared module can be used to wake up only the corresponding operating system subsequently.
According to the above method, at least one shared module from all shared modules included in the electronic device can be determined to be configured as the wake-up module corresponding to the target operating system. The wake-up signal generated by the wake-up module subsequently is used to wake up only the target operating system. Therefore, conflicts, due to the plurality of operating systems being woken up at the same time by the wake-up signal generated by the shared wake-up module, may be prevented; and in addition, controllability and flexibility in controlling waking up the operating system is improved.
In an embodiment, the target operating system determines at least one shared module from all shared modules included in the electronic device, and configures the at least one shared module as the wake-up module to be effective for the target operating system.
It is understandable that the shared module, in addition to serving as the wake-up module, may further achieve other functions. For example, the touch screen serves as the wake-up module and can generate the wake-up signal when the touch event is detected; in addition, the touch screen serves as a window for the user to interact with the electronic device, achieving functions of displaying and touch control. In this regard, when the shared module is configured as a to-be-effected wake-up module for the target operating system, and when the to-be-effected wake-up module is still in the running state, a function that is currently executed by the to-be-effected wake-up module may conflict with the wake-up function, such that the target operating system may be woken up by mistake.
For example, the touch screen serves as the wake-up module and generates the wake-up signal when the touch event is detected. However, the touch screen may also detect the touch event when being controlled by another operating system to serve as an interaction window. Therefore, the target operating system is woken up mistakenly.
In this regard, the target operating system may determine that the to-be-effected wake-up module can be effective only when the to-be-effected wake-up module is determined as being in the idle state. The effected wake-up module is used to generate the wake-up signal to cause the target operating system to switch from the sleeping state to the running state based on the wake-up signal. The idle state refers to a state in which the to-be-effected wake-up module is not processing any task.
According to the above method, the target operating system may configure a corresponding wake-up module when the target operating system is about to enter the sleeping state and determines that the configuration is effective only when the configured wake-up module is being determined as being in the idle state. In this way, a function that is currently executed by the to-be-effected wake-up module is prevented from conflicting with the wake-up function, and the target operating system is prevented from being woken up mistakenly.
In another embodiment, the target operating system may determine that the to-be-effected wake-up module is effective only when both the target operating system and the non-target operating system are determined as being in the sleeping state.
It is to be noted that, when the operating system other than the target operating system does not enter the sleeping state, the other operating system, during operating, may also invoke the to-be-effected wake-up module, such that the to-be-effected wake-up module, when being invoked, may mistakenly generate the wake-up signal to wake up the target operating system. In this regard, the configured to-be-effected wake-up module is determined to be effective only when all operating systems included in the electronic device enter the sleeping state. In this way, the to-be-effected wake-up module, when being invoked, is prevented from mistakenly generating the wake-up signal to wake up the target operating system.
In an embodiment, an operating power consumption of the second operating system is less than an operating power consumption of the first operating system. In some embodiments, when the electronic device is currently in a first operating mode and the target operating system is the second operating system, the target operating system may configure all shared modules included in the electronic device as the wake-up modules corresponding to the target operating system.
In some embodiments, when the electronic device is currently in a second operating mode and the target operating system is the first operating system, the target operating system may configure all shared modules included in the electronic device as the wake-up modules corresponding to the target operating system. The operating power consumption when the electronic device is in the first operating mode is less than the operating power consumption when the electronic device is in the second operating mode.
In some embodiments, the first operating mode may include a low-power-consumption mode, and the second operating mode may include a high-performance mode.
It is understood that, when the electronic device is in the low-power-consumption mode, and when all hardware modules are configured as wake-up modules of the second operating system having the lower operating power consumption, the second operating system having the lower operating power consumption can be woken up when any of the wake-up modules generates the wake-up signal, such that demands for the electronic device running at the low power consumption are met. For example, the first operating system is the Android operating system, and the second operating system is the RTOS operating system. An operating power consumption of the RTOS operating system is less than an operating power consumption of the Android operating system.
When the electronic device is currently in the low-power-consumption mode, all hardware modules are configured as wake-up modules of the RTOS operating system. When any wake-up module generates the wake-up signal, the wake-up signal may wake up the RTOS operating system to process the target event, such that requirements of the electronic device running at the low operating power consumption are met.
According to the above method, when the electronic device is in the low-power-consumption mode, all hardware modules are configured as the wake-up modules for the operating system having the lower operating power consumption. Any wake-up module generating the wake-up signal may wake up the operating system having the lower operating power consumption, such that requirements of the electronic device running at the low operating power consumption are met.
In another embodiment, an operating performance of the first operating system may be higher than an operating performance of the second operating system. In some embodiments, when the electronic device is currently in a high-performance mode and the target operating system is the first operating system, all hardware modules included in the electronic device are configured as wake-up modules corresponding to the target operating system.
Similarly, when the electronic device is currently in the high-performance mode, and when all hardware modules are configured as wake-up modules of the first operating system having the high performance, the first operating system can be woken up when any wake-up module generates the wake-up signal, such that requirements of the electronic device running at the high performance are met.
According to the above method, when the electronic device is in the high-performance mode, all hardware modules are configured as wake-up modules of the operating system having the high performance. The high-performance operating system can be woken up to process the target event when any wake-up module generates the wake-up signal, such that requirements of the electronic device running at the high performance are met.
According to the above method, the operating system matching the target wake-up module can be automatically switched to run, without requiring the user to manually perform the switching, such that the intelligence of the electronic device is improved. In addition, in the present disclosure, the waking up and the switching processes of the operating systems are automatically performed at the background of the electronic device, the user has no sense for the switching between the operating systems, such that senseless switching is achieved, and the usage experience is improved. At least one hardware module may be determined among all hardware modules included in the electronic device to be configured as the wake-up module corresponding to the target operating system. The wake-up signal generated by the wake-up module may be used to wake up only the target operating system. Conflicts, due to the plurality of operating systems being woken up at the same time by the wake-up signal generated by the wake-up module, may be prevented, and controllability and flexibility in the control of the waking up the operating systems are improved.
The corresponding wake-up module may be configured when the electronic device is about to enter the sleeping state, and the configuration may be effective only when the configured to-be-effected wake-up module is in the idle state. The current function performed by the to-be-effected wake-up module is prevented from conflicting with the wake-up function, and the target operating system is prevented from being woken up mistakenly. When the electronic device is in the low-power-consumption mode, all hardware modules may be configured as wake-up modules of the operating system having the lower operating power consumption. When any wake-up module generates the wake-up signal, the wake-up signal wakes up the operating system having the lower operating power consumption to process the target event, such that the requirements for the electronic devices running at the lower operating power consumption are met. When the electronic device is in the high-performance mode, all hardware modules are configured as wake-up modules for the operating system having the high performance. When any subsequent wake-up module generates the wake-up signal, the wake-up signal wakes up the operating system having the high performance to process the target event, such that the requirements for the electronic devices running at the high performance are met.
As shown in
The wake-up unit 801 is configured to control the target operating system corresponding to the target wake-up module to switch from the sleeping state to the running state according to the wake-up signal in response to the target wake-up module generating the wake-up signal, in the case that the first operating system and/or the second operating system is in the sleeping state.
According to the above-described apparatus, when the target wake-up module generates the wake-up signal and when the first operating system and/or the second operating system is in the sleeping state, the apparatus controls the target operating system corresponding to the target wake-up module to be switched from the sleeping state to the running state according to the wake-up signal. That is, in the present embodiments, the electronic device may automatically switch to the operating system matching the target wake-up module according to the target wake-up module, without requiring the user to manually perform the switching, such that the intelligence of the electronic device is improved. In addition, in the present embodiments, the waking up and the operating system switching processes are performed automatically at the background of the electronic device, such that the user has no sense of the switching between the operating systems, and therefore, the senseless switching is achieved, and the usage experience is improved.
In an embodiment, the apparatus shown in
The processing unit is configured to take, after controlling the target operating system corresponding to the target wake-up module to be switched from the sleeping state to the running state based on the wake-up signal, the target operating system to process the target event corresponding to the wake-up signal.
According to the above-described apparatus, the target operating system that is woken up is usually the optimal operating system for processing the target event corresponding to the wake-up signal. Therefore, after the target operating system is switched from the sleeping state to the running state, the target operating system processes the target event corresponding to the wake-up signal, improving the processing effect of the target event.
In an embodiment, the wake-up unit 801 is further configured to determine, via the target operating system, the sub-module and/or the non-target operating system required to process the target event corresponding to the wake-up signal. The non-target operating system is one of the first operating system and the second operating system, other than the target operating system. In addition, the wake-up unit 801 is further configured to send, via the target operating system, the target event to the sub-module and/or the non-target operating system to cause the sub-module and/or the non-target operating system to process the target event. The sub-module is a hardware module included in the electronic device capable of executing the target event.
According to the above-described apparatus, the other sub-module or the non-target operating system required for processing the target event are further determined, so as to enable the target event to be processed by a more matching and more specialized module or operating system. In this way, it is ensured that the target event is processed in time, and the processing effect of the target event is improved.

According to the above-described apparatus, when the non-target operating system is required to process the target event, the target operating system may directly trigger the non-target operating system in the sleeping state to switch to the running state to process the target event without requiring the user to manually perform the switching, such that the intelligence of the electronic device is improved.
In an embodiment, the apparatus shown in
After the target operating system sends the target event to the sub-module and/or the non-target operating system to cause the sub-module and/or the non-target operating system to process the target event, and in response to determining that the non-target operating system is satisfied with the switching to the sleeping state, the first configuration unit is configured to determine, via the non-target operating system, at least one shared module from all shared modules included in the electronic device to be configured as the wake-up module corresponding to the non-target operating system, and control the non-target operating system to switch to the sleeping state. The shared module is a module capable of being configured as the wake-up module of the first operating system or the second operating system.
According to the above-described apparatus, the non-targeted operating system can automatically configure the wake-up module for itself when the non-targeted operating system is about to enter the sleeping state, enabling the non-targeted operating system to automatically switch to the running state based on the wake-up signal generated by the wake-up module without requiring the user to manually perform the waking up or the switching process. Therefore, the intelligence of the electronic device is improved.
In an embodiment, the apparatus shown in
After the target operating system processes the target event corresponding to the wake-up signal, and in response to the non-target operating system being in the running state and having the control authority for the peripheral apparatus, the second sending unit is configured to send the peripheral control instruction to the non-target operating system through the target operating system. The peripheral control instruction is obtained by the target operating system processing the target event, and the non-target operating system is one of the first operating system and the second operating system, other than the target operating system.
According to the above-described apparatus, when the target operating system is running at the background of the electronic device and does not have the control authority of the peripheral apparatus, the target operating system may send the processing result to the non-target operating system that is running at the foreground and has the control authority of the peripheral apparatus, causing the non-target operating system to control the peripheral apparatus to perform the corresponding operation according to the received processing result. In this way, flexibility of the electronic device in processing the target event is improved, and the processing efficiency of processing the target event is improved.
In an embodiment, the processing unit is configured to configure the control authority of the peripheral apparatus of the electronic device to the target operating system, causing the target operating system to take the peripheral apparatus to process the target event.
According to the above-mentioned apparatus, the control authority of the peripheral apparatus of the electronic device may be switched to the target operating system to enable the target operating system to take the peripheral apparatus to assist in processing the target event. In this way, the processing effect and the processing efficiency of the target event are improved.
Furthermore, the control instruction that is sent by the target operating system to the peripheral apparatus, is prevented from conflicting with the control instruction sent from other operating systems, ensuring the electronic device to operate normally.
In an embodiment, in response to the non-target operating system being in the running state and having the control authority of the peripheral apparatus, the processing unit is configured to send, via the target operating system, the switching instruction to the non-target operating system, enabling the non-target operating system to switch the control authority of the peripheral apparatus to the target operating system according to the switching instruction. The non-target operating system is one of the first operating system and the second operating system, other than the target operating system.
According to the above-mentioned apparatus, the control authority of the peripheral apparatus of the electronic device can be switched to the target operating system to enable the target operating system to take the peripheral apparatus to assist in processing the target event, such that the processing effect and the processing efficiency of the target event are improved. Furthermore, the control instruction that is sent by the target operating system to the peripheral apparatus is prevented from conflicting with the control instruction sent by other operating systems, ensuring the electronic device to operate normally.
In an embodiment, the apparatus shown in
After switching the control authority of the peripheral apparatus of the electronic device to the target operating system, the peripheral control unit is configured to receive, by the peripheral apparatus, the input target operation and to process, by the target operating system, the target operation.
Alternatively, the peripheral control unit is configured to control, by the target operating system based on the processing result, the peripheral apparatus to perform a corresponding operation. The processing result is a result obtained by the target operating system processing the target event.
According to the above-described apparatus, after having the control authority of the peripheral apparatus, the electronic device may receive the operation input from the user or output the processing result through the peripheral apparatus, such that the target operating system may improve, with the assistance of the peripheral apparatus, the processing effect and the processing efficiency of the target event.
In an embodiment, the apparatus shown in
After controlling the target operating system corresponding to the target wake-up module to switch from the sleeping state to the running state based on the wake-up signal, and in response to determining that the target operating system is satisfied with the switching to the sleeping state, the second configuration unit is configured to determine, through the target operating system, at least one shared module configured from all shared modules included in the electronic device to be configured as the wake-up module corresponding to the target operating system; and configured to control the target operating system to switch to the sleeping state.
According to the above-described apparatus, at least one hardware module is determined from all hardware modules included in the electronic device to be configured as the wake-up module corresponding to the target operating system. The wake-up signal generated by the wake-up module is used to wake up only the target operating system. In this way, conflicts, due to the wake-up signal generated by the wake-up module waking up the plurality of operating systems at the same time, may be prevented. In addition, controllability and flexibility of the control of waking up of the operating system may be improved.
In an embodiment, the second configuration unit is configured to determine at least one shared module from all hardware modules included in the electronic device, and configure the at least one shared module as the to-be-effected wake-up module for the target operating system. The second configuration unit is configured to determine, in response to the to-be-effected wake-up module being determined as being in the idle state, the to-be-effected wake-up module to be effective. The effective wake-up module is configured to generate the wake-up signal to cause the target operating system to switch from the sleeping state to the running state based on the wake-up signal.
According to the above-described apparatus, the target operating system may configure the wake-up module when the target operating system is about to enter the sleeping state, and determine that the configuration is effective only when the configured wake-up module is determined as being in the idle state. In this way, the function that is currently executed by the to-be-effected wake-up module is prevented from conflicting with the wake-up function, and the target operating system is prevented from being mistakenly woken up.
In an embodiment, the second configuration unit is further configured to configure all shared modules included in the electronic device to be wake-up modules corresponding to the target operating system in response to the electronic device being operating in the first operation mode and the target operating system being the second operating system.

The operating power consumption of the electronic device is low when the electronic device is in the first operating mode, the operating power consumption of the first operating mode is less than the operating power consumption of the second operating mode.
According to the above-described apparatus, when the electronic device is in the high-performance mode, all hardware modules are configured as wake-up modules for the operating system having the high performance.
