detailed description

Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals designate the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below by referring to the figures are exemplary and are intended to explain the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

The method, device and mobile terminal for controlling an event reported by a proximity sensor according to embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Fig. 1 is a flowchart of a method for controlling an event reported by a proximity sensor according to an embodiment of the present invention. Wherein, it should be noted that the method for controlling an event reported by a proximity sensor in this embodiment is applied to a mobile terminal, and the mobile terminal may be, for example, a smart phone, a tablet computer, and other hardware devices with various operations.

As shown in Figure 1, the control method for reporting an event by the proximity sensor includes the following steps:

S11, when the current application program uses the proximity sensor, determine whether the event information reported by the proximity sensor is received within a first preset time.

Wherein, the event information may include, but not limited to, an approach event and a distance event.

Wherein, the first preset time is preset in the mobile terminal. For example, the first preset time is 200ms. When the current application program uses the proximity sensor, if the mobile terminal is preset when the current application program uses the proximity sensor, the proximity The sensor needs to report event information within 200ms. When the proximity sensor is used in the subsequent current application program, it can be judged whether the event information reported by the proximity sensor is received within 200ms.

Among them, it should be understood that the current application program is a program that needs to be applied to the proximity sensor during use in the mobile terminal. For example, the current application program can be a program that controls calls, a program that controls the automatic backlight of the mobile terminal, or a program that uses the proximity sensor to detect fingerprints. Programs for sensor control, etc.

S12. If it is determined that the event information reported by the proximity sensor is not received within the first preset time, control the proximity sensor to report the event information again within the second preset time.

Specifically, when it is judged that the application layer of the current application program has not received the event information reported by the proximity sensor within the first preset time, it can send a resend instruction to the driver layer, and then, after the driver layer receives the resend instruction, according to The second preset time is used to time the timer, and obtain the current proximity value received by the proximity sensor, and judge whether the current proximity value is greater than the preset threshold. state, and control the proximity sensor to report the proximity event within a second preset time.

In addition, if it is judged that the current proximity value is not greater than the preset threshold, then it is determined that the mobile terminal is in the state of moving away from the object, and the proximity sensor is controlled to report the moving away event within a second preset time.

Wherein, the second preset time is preset in the mobile terminal, for example, the second preset time is 200ms, and when receiving the sending instruction to send the event information of the proximity sensor again, the time in the timer can be set to 200ms .

Wherein, the preset threshold is preset in the mobile terminal, and the preset threshold may be 900-1000, for example, the preset threshold is 1000.

For example, the preset threshold is 1000. During the call, the driver layer of the smart phone is monitored to send the event information of the proximity sensor, but the application layer of the smart phone does not receive the reported event information of the proximity sensor within the first preset time. , the application layer of the smart phone can send a resend instruction to the driver layer, and the driver layer can set the timer according to the second preset time after receiving the resend instruction, and detect the current infrared intensity in the proximity sensor. Assuming that the current infrared The intensity value is 1050. By comparison, it can be determined that the current infrared intensity value is greater than the preset threshold. At this time, it can be determined that the smartphone is in the object approach state, wherein the object approach state corresponds to the approach event, and the event information in the proximity sensor is determined to be After the proximity event, the driver layer sends the event information of the proximity sensor to the application layer again.

In an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 2 , after step S12, S13 may also be included.

S13. Control the mobile terminal to perform corresponding operations according to the event information reported again by the proximity sensor.

Wherein, it should be understood that different event information means different operations performed by the mobile terminal. The corresponding relationship between event information and executed operations is preset by the mobile terminal according to the functional requirements of the current application program.

For example, during a call, if it monitors that the proximity sensor should report event information, but does not receive the event information reported by the proximity sensor, the mobile terminal can send a resend instruction to the driver layer, and the driver layer will detect again the current location of the proximity sensor. Generated event information, and report the event information of the proximity sensor again, if the mobile terminal receives the event information reported by the proximity sensor again as a proximity event, then control the screen of the mobile terminal to turn off the screen, thereby reducing the impact on the mobile terminal during the call. Misuse and reduce screen power consumption. If the mobile terminal receives the event information reported by the proximity sensor again as a far away event, the mobile terminal is controlled to turn on the screen.

For another example, in the process of controlling the working state of the fingerprint sensor through the proximity sensor, if it is monitored that the proximity sensor should report event information, but the event information reported by the proximity sensor is not received, the mobile terminal can send another message to the driver layer. Send the instruction, the driver layer will detect the event information currently generated by the proximity sensor again, and report the event information of the proximity sensor again, if the mobile terminal receives the event information reported by the proximity sensor again as a proximity event, then control the fingerprint transmission in the mobile terminal The sensor is in a dormant state, thereby avoiding battery consumption caused by fingerprint recognition caused by putting the mobile terminal in a trouser pocket. If the mobile terminal receives the event information reported by the proximity sensor again as a far away event, control the fingerprint sensor in the mobile terminal to be in a working state.

Among them, it should be understood that after the proximity sensor is used by the current application for a period of time, after monitoring the event state of the proximity sensor has changed, the information about the change of the event state of the proximity sensor can be reported. If the application layer is monitored If the event state change information of the proximity sensor is not received, the proximity sensor is controlled to send the event state change information again, and the mobile terminal controls the mobile terminal to perform corresponding operations according to the received event state change information again.

That is to say, after the mobile terminal performs corresponding operations according to the event information reported by the proximity sensor, if it monitors that the event information in the proximity sensor has not changed, the proximity sensor is controlled to no longer report the event information, and the event information in the proximity sensor is monitored. After the information changes, for example, from a close event to a far away event, or from a far away event to a close event, control the proximity sensor to report the event change information. If the application layer receives the event change information reported by the proximity sensor, then according to the changed The event information controls the mobile terminal to perform corresponding operations.

For example, during a call, when the user puts the mobile phone on the ear to make a call, the screen of the mobile terminal turns off, and when the monitoring detects that the user takes the mobile phone off the ear, the state of the proximity sensor changes from the object-approaching state to the object-away state , at this time, the proximity sensor is controlled to report the event change information, and if it is monitored that the driver layer reports the event change information, but the application layer does not receive the event change information, then the mobile terminal is controlled to adjust the executed operations in time according to the event change information.

In summary, it can be seen that in this embodiment, when it is monitored that the event information reported by the proximity sensor should be received, but the event information reported by the proximity sensor is not received, the proximity sensor is controlled to report the event information again, so that the mobile terminal can obtain the proximity sensor in time. The event information reported by the sensor avoids the situation that the mobile terminal misses the event information reported by the proximity sensor and fails to adjust the state of the mobile terminal in time.

According to the method for controlling an event reported by a proximity sensor in an embodiment of the present invention, when the current application program uses the proximity sensor, it is judged whether the event information reported by the proximity sensor is received within the first preset time, and when it is determined that the event information reported by the proximity sensor is within the first preset time When the event information reported by the proximity sensor is not received within the time, the proximity sensor is controlled to report the event information again within a second preset time. Thus, the mobile terminal can obtain the event information reported by the proximity sensor in time, thereby avoiding the occurrence of the situation that the mobile terminal misses the event information reported by the proximity sensor and fails to adjust the state of the mobile terminal in time, and then enables the mobile terminal to be timely. The reported event information adjusts the mobile terminal, making the mobile terminal more intelligent, and improving the user experience of the user on the mobile terminal.

Wherein, it should be noted that the method for controlling an event reported by a proximity sensor in this embodiment is applied to a mobile terminal, and the mobile terminal may be, for example, a smart phone, a tablet computer, and other hardware devices with various operations.

Wherein, the event information may include, but not limited to, an approach event and a distance event.

Wherein, the first preset time is preset in the mobile terminal. For example, the first preset time is 200ms. When the current application program uses the proximity sensor, if the mobile terminal is preset when the current application program uses the proximity sensor, the proximity The sensor needs to report event information within 200ms. When the proximity sensor is used in the subsequent current application program, it can be judged whether the event information reported by the proximity sensor is received within 200ms.

Among them, it should be understood that the current application program is a program that needs to be applied to the proximity sensor during use in the mobile terminal. For example, the current application program can be a program that controls calls, a program that controls the automatic backlight of the mobile terminal, or a program that uses the proximity sensor to detect fingerprints. Programs for sensor control, etc.

S32. If it is determined that the event information reported by the proximity sensor is not received within the first preset time, control the proximity sensor to report the event information again within the second preset time.

Specifically, when it is judged that the application layer of the current application program has not received the event information reported by the proximity sensor within the first preset time, it can send a resend instruction to the driver layer, and then, after the driver layer receives the resend instruction, according to The second preset time is used to time the timer, and obtain the current proximity value received by the proximity sensor, and judge whether the current proximity value is greater than the preset threshold. state, and control the proximity sensor to report the proximity event within a second preset time.

In addition, if it is judged that the current proximity value is not greater than the preset threshold, then it is determined that the mobile terminal is in the state of moving away from the object, and the proximity sensor is controlled to report the moving away event within a second preset time.

Wherein, the second preset time is preset in the mobile terminal, for example, the second preset time is 200ms, and when receiving the sending instruction to send the event information of the proximity sensor again, the time in the timer can be set to 200ms .

Wherein, the preset threshold is preset in the mobile terminal, and the preset threshold may be 900-1000, for example, the preset threshold is 1000.

For example, the preset threshold is 1000. During the call, the driver layer of the smart phone is monitored to send the event information of the proximity sensor, but the application layer of the smart phone does not receive the reported event information of the proximity sensor within the first preset time. , the application layer of the smart phone can send a resend instruction to the driver layer, and the driver layer can set the timer according to the second preset time after receiving the resend instruction, and detect the current infrared intensity in the proximity sensor. Assuming that the current infrared The intensity value is 1050. By comparison, it can be determined that the current infrared intensity value is greater than the preset threshold. At this time, it can be determined that the smartphone is in the object approach state, wherein the object approach state corresponds to the approach event, and the event information in the proximity sensor is determined to be After the proximity event, the driver layer sends the event information of the proximity sensor to the application layer again.

S33, judging whether the event information reported again by the proximity sensor is received within the second preset time.

S34. If it is determined that the event information reported again by the proximity sensor is received within the second preset time, control the mobile terminal to perform a corresponding operation according to the event information reported again by the proximity sensor.

Wherein, it should be understood that different event information means different operations performed by the mobile terminal. The corresponding relationship between event information and executed operations is preset by the mobile terminal according to the functional requirements of the current application program.

For example, during a call, if it monitors that the proximity sensor should report event information, but does not receive the event information reported by the proximity sensor, the mobile terminal can send a resend instruction to the driver layer, and the driver layer will detect again the current location of the proximity sensor. Generated event information, and report the event information of the proximity sensor again, if the mobile terminal receives the event information reported by the proximity sensor again as a proximity event, then control the screen of the mobile terminal to turn off the screen, thereby reducing the impact on the mobile terminal during the call. Misuse and reduce screen power consumption. If the mobile terminal receives the event information reported by the proximity sensor again as a far away event, the mobile terminal is controlled to turn on the screen.

For another example, in the process of controlling the working state of the fingerprint sensor through the proximity sensor, if it is monitored that the proximity sensor should report event information, but the event information reported by the proximity sensor is not received, the mobile terminal can send another message to the driver layer. Send the instruction, the driver layer will detect the event information currently generated by the proximity sensor again, and report the event information of the proximity sensor again, if the mobile terminal receives the event information reported by the proximity sensor again as a proximity event, then control the fingerprint transmission in the mobile terminal The sensor is in a dormant state, thereby avoiding battery consumption caused by fingerprint recognition caused by putting the mobile terminal in a trouser pocket. If the mobile terminal receives the event information reported by the proximity sensor again as a far away event, control the fingerprint sensor in the mobile terminal to be in a working state.

S35. If it is determined that the event information reported again by the proximity sensor is not received within the second preset time, set the event information of the proximity sensor as a preset event, and control the mobile terminal to perform corresponding operations according to the preset event.

Wherein, the preset event is an event preset according to the functions required by the current application program, for example, during a call, the preset event may be set as a remote event. For another example, in the process of controlling the fingerprint sensor through the event information of the proximity sensor, the preset event may be set as the far away event.

In one embodiment of the present invention, after the proximity sensor is used by the current application program for a period of time, after monitoring that the event state of the proximity sensor has changed, the information that the event state of the proximity sensor has changed can be reported. The application layer does not receive the information that the event state of the proximity sensor has changed, and then controls the proximity sensor to send the information of the event state change again, and the mobile terminal controls the mobile terminal to perform corresponding operations according to the received event state change information again.

Wherein, the first processing module 130 is further configured to control the mobile terminal to perform corresponding operations according to the event information reported again by the proximity sensor when it is determined that the event information reported again by the proximity sensor is received within the second preset time.

In one embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 5 , the device may further include a second processing module 150, which is used to determine that no proximity sensor report is received again within the second preset time. When receiving event information, set the event information of the proximity sensor as a preset event, and control the mobile terminal to perform corresponding operations according to the preset event.

According to the control device for reporting an event by a proximity sensor in an embodiment of the present invention, after judging that the event information reported by the proximity sensor has not been received within the first preset time, it is judged whether the event information reported by the proximity sensor is received again within the second preset time event information, and when the event information reported again by the proximity sensor is received, the mobile terminal is controlled to perform corresponding operations according to the event information reported again by the proximity sensor, and when the event information reported again by the proximity sensor is not received, the mobile terminal is The event information of the proximity sensor is set as a preset event, and the mobile terminal is controlled to perform corresponding operations according to the preset event. Thus, the mobile terminal can obtain the event information reported by the proximity sensor in time, and control the mobile terminal to perform operation adjustment in time according to the event information, making the mobile terminal more intelligent and improving the user experience of the mobile terminal.

In order to realize the above embodiments, the present invention also proposes a mobile terminal.

A mobile terminal includes the device for controlling an event reported by a proximity sensor according to the embodiment of the second aspect of the present invention.

According to the mobile terminal of the embodiment of the present invention, when the current application program uses the proximity sensor, it is judged whether the event information reported by the proximity sensor is received within the first preset time, and when it is judged that the event information reported by the proximity sensor is not received within the first preset time When approaching the event information reported by the sensor, the proximity sensor is controlled to report the event information again within a second preset time. Thus, the mobile terminal can obtain the event information reported by the proximity sensor in time, thereby avoiding the occurrence of the situation that the mobile terminal misses the event information reported by the proximity sensor and fails to adjust the state of the mobile terminal in time, and then enables the mobile terminal to be timely. The reported event information adjusts the mobile terminal, making the mobile terminal more intelligent, and improving the user experience of the user on the mobile terminal.

In order to realize the above embodiments, the present invention also proposes a mobile terminal, which includes a housing, a processor, a memory, a circuit board, and a power supply circuit, wherein the circuit board is placed inside the space enclosed by the housing, and the processor and The memory is set on the circuit board; the power supply circuit is used to supply power to various circuits or devices of the mobile terminal; the memory is used to store executable program code; the processor runs and executes the program by reading the executable program code stored in the memory A program corresponding to the code to perform the following steps:

S11', when the current application program uses the proximity sensor, determine whether the event information reported by the proximity sensor is received within the first preset time.

Wherein, the event information may include, but not limited to, an approach event and a distance event.

Wherein, the first preset time is preset in the mobile terminal. For example, the first preset time is 200ms. When the current application program uses the proximity sensor, if the mobile terminal is preset when the current application program uses the proximity sensor, the proximity The sensor needs to report event information within 200ms. When the proximity sensor is used in the subsequent current application program, it can be judged whether the event information reported by the proximity sensor is received within 200ms.

Among them, it should be understood that the current application program is a program that needs to be applied to the proximity sensor during use in the mobile terminal. For example, the current application program can be a program that controls calls, a program that controls the automatic backlight of the mobile terminal, or a program that uses the proximity sensor to detect fingerprints. Programs for sensor control, etc.

S12', if it is determined that the event information reported by the proximity sensor is not received within the first preset time, control the proximity sensor to report the event information again within the second preset time.

Specifically, when it is judged that the application layer of the current application program has not received the event information reported by the proximity sensor within the first preset time, it can send a resend instruction to the driver layer, and then, after the driver layer receives the resend instruction, according to The second preset time is used to time the timer, and obtain the current proximity value received by the proximity sensor, and judge whether the current proximity value is greater than the preset threshold. state, and control the proximity sensor to report the proximity event within a second preset time.

In addition, if it is judged that the current proximity value is not greater than the preset threshold, then it is determined that the mobile terminal is in the state of moving away from the object, and the proximity sensor is controlled to report the moving away event within a second preset time.

Wherein, the second preset time is preset in the mobile terminal, for example, the second preset time is 200ms, and when receiving the sending instruction to send the event information of the proximity sensor again, the time in the timer can be set to 200ms .

Wherein, the preset threshold is preset in the mobile terminal, and the preset threshold may be 900-1000, for example, the preset threshold is 1000.

For example, the preset threshold is 1000. During the call, the driver layer of the smart phone is monitored to send the event information of the proximity sensor, but the application layer of the smart phone does not receive the reported event information of the proximity sensor within the first preset time. , the application layer of the smart phone can send a resend instruction to the driver layer, and the driver layer can set the timer according to the second preset time after receiving the resend instruction, and detect the current infrared intensity in the proximity sensor. Assuming that the current infrared The intensity value is 1050. By comparison, it can be determined that the current infrared intensity value is greater than the preset threshold. At this time, it can be determined that the smartphone is in the object approach state, wherein the object approach state corresponds to the approach event, and the event information in the proximity sensor is determined to be After the proximity event, the driver layer sends the event information of the proximity sensor to the application layer again.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the processor may further include step S13'.

S13', controlling the mobile terminal to perform corresponding operations according to the event information reported again by the proximity sensor.

Wherein, it should be understood that different event information means different operations performed by the mobile terminal. The corresponding relationship between event information and executed operations is preset by the mobile terminal according to the functional requirements of the current application program.

For example, during a call, if it monitors that the proximity sensor should report event information, but does not receive the event information reported by the proximity sensor, the mobile terminal can send a resend instruction to the driver layer, and the driver layer will detect again the current location of the proximity sensor. Generated event information, and report the event information of the proximity sensor again, if the mobile terminal receives the event information reported by the proximity sensor again as a proximity event, then control the screen of the mobile terminal to turn off the screen, thereby reducing the impact on the mobile terminal during the call. Misuse and reduce screen power consumption. If the mobile terminal receives the event information reported by the proximity sensor again as a far away event, the mobile terminal is controlled to turn on the screen.

For another example, in the process of controlling the working state of the fingerprint sensor through the proximity sensor, if it is monitored that the proximity sensor should report event information, but the event information reported by the proximity sensor is not received, the mobile terminal can send another message to the driver layer. Send the instruction, the driver layer will detect the event information currently generated by the proximity sensor again, and report the event information of the proximity sensor again, if the mobile terminal receives the event information reported by the proximity sensor again as a proximity event, then control the fingerprint transmission in the mobile terminal The sensor is in a dormant state, thereby avoiding battery consumption caused by fingerprint recognition caused by putting the mobile terminal in a trouser pocket. If the mobile terminal receives the event information reported by the proximity sensor again as a far away event, control the fingerprint sensor in the mobile terminal to be in a working state.

Among them, it should be understood that after the proximity sensor is used by the current application for a period of time, after monitoring the event state of the proximity sensor has changed, the information about the change of the event state of the proximity sensor can be reported. If the application layer is monitored If the event state change information of the proximity sensor is not received, the proximity sensor is controlled to send the event state change information again, and the mobile terminal controls the mobile terminal to perform corresponding operations according to the received event state change information again.

That is to say, after the mobile terminal performs corresponding operations according to the event information reported by the proximity sensor, if it monitors that the event information in the proximity sensor has not changed, the proximity sensor is controlled to no longer report the event information, and the event information in the proximity sensor is monitored. After the information changes, for example, from a close event to a far away event, or from a far away event to a close event, control the proximity sensor to report the event change information. If the application layer receives the event change information reported by the proximity sensor, then according to the changed The event information controls the mobile terminal to perform corresponding operations.

For example, during a call, when the user puts the mobile phone on the ear to make a call, the screen of the mobile terminal turns off, and when the monitoring detects that the user takes the mobile phone off the ear, the state of the proximity sensor changes from the object-approaching state to the object-away state , at this time, the proximity sensor is controlled to report the event change information, and if it is monitored that the driver layer reports the event change information, but the application layer does not receive the event change information, then the mobile terminal is controlled to adjust the executed operations in time according to the event change information.

In summary, it can be seen that in this embodiment, when it is monitored that the event information reported by the proximity sensor should be received, but the event information reported by the proximity sensor is not received, the proximity sensor is controlled to report the event information again, so that the mobile terminal can obtain the proximity sensor in time. The event information reported by the sensor avoids the situation that the mobile terminal misses the event information reported by the proximity sensor and fails to adjust the state of the mobile terminal in time.

According to the mobile terminal of the embodiment of the present invention, when the current application program uses the proximity sensor, it is judged whether the event information reported by the proximity sensor is received within the first preset time, and when it is judged that the event information reported by the proximity sensor is not received within the first preset time When approaching the event information reported by the sensor, the proximity sensor is controlled to report the event information again within a second preset time. Thus, the mobile terminal can obtain the event information reported by the proximity sensor in time, thereby avoiding the occurrence of the situation that the mobile terminal misses the event information reported by the proximity sensor and fails to adjust the state of the mobile terminal in time, and then enables the mobile terminal to be timely. The reported event information adjusts the mobile terminal, making the mobile terminal more intelligent, and improving the user experience of the user on the mobile terminal.
