Description

Processing method and device when proximity sensor is abnormal

technical field

The invention relates to the technical field of proximity sensors, in particular to a processing method for abnormality of the proximity sensor and a processing device for abnormality of the proximity sensor.

Background technique

Proximity sensors have been widely used in various Apps (Applications) of mobile terminals, such as making calls, automatic backlighting, preventing false triggers, black screen gestures on touch screens, and fingerprint control. If there is a problem with the proximity sensor, for example, the proximity sensor has communication problems due to a drop of the mobile phone, or the communication fails due to static electricity, it will cause the proximity sensor to be in a wrong state, and this state will cause abnormalities in the application and confuse the user. .

When a certain App enables the proximity sensor, the underlying driver needs to report a state of proximity or distance within the set time. If for some reason (for example, the chip of the proximity sensor has a communication problem and cannot report data), the application program does not obtain the reported status value, then it will be processed according to the status value obtained last time. For example, the last time the application obtained the proximity state, and when the proximity sensor is enabled again, the underlying driver does not report the state within the set time, then the application will proceed with the state obtained last time (proximity state). For example, when the proximity sensor is enabled when a call comes in, the screen will go off, or it will always be on the interface to prevent false triggers, or the black screen gesture will always be invalid, or the fingerprint will always be invalid, etc.

Contents of the invention

Based on this, it is necessary to address the above problems and provide a method and device for processing when the proximity sensor is abnormal, which can ensure the normal operation of each application when the proximity sensor is abnormal.

In order to achieve the above object, the technical scheme that the present invention takes is as follows:

receiving an enabling instruction from the application program for the proximity sensor, and enabling the proximity sensor according to the enabling instruction;

If abnormality is enabled, report the far away state to the application program;

If it is enabled normally, but the state is not reported to the application program within the set time, the remote state is reported to the application program.

A processing device when a proximity sensor is abnormal, comprising:

A proximity sensor enabling module, configured to receive an enabling instruction from an application program to the proximity sensor, and enable the proximity sensor according to the enabling instruction;

Detailed ways

In order to further illustrate the technical means adopted by the present invention and the achieved effects, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

As shown in Figure 1, a processing method when the proximity sensor is abnormal includes steps:

S110. Receive an enabling instruction of the proximity sensor from the application program, and enable the proximity sensor according to the enabling instruction;

S120. If the abnormality is enabled, report the away status to the application program;

S130. If the enable is normal, but the status is not reported to the application program within a set time, report the remote status to the application program.

The method of the present invention can be realized through a program driven by the bottom layer, and is generally applied to a mobile terminal. In order to better understand the implementation process of the present invention, the technical features of each step are introduced in detail below.

In step S110, the application program includes making a phone call, automatic backlight, preventing false triggering, black screen gesture of the touch screen, fingerprint control, and the like. When receiving an enabling instruction from an App for the proximity sensor, enable the proximity sensor. In one embodiment, the proximity sensor is powered on and registers are initialized according to the enabling instruction.

In step S120, after the proximity sensor is enabled, a feedback value will be received, which includes information about whether the enable is normal. For example, when the feedback value is 0, it means that the enable is abnormal; can be normal. It should be noted that the above is only a specific example of the feedback value, and the feedback value may also use other forms to indicate enabling abnormality and enabling normality, which is not limited in the present invention.

When the abnormality is determined according to the feedback value, compared with the solution in the prior art that the underlying driver does not report the status, the present invention reports the far status to the application program, thereby ensuring the normal use of the application program when the proximity sensor is abnormal.

In order to avoid misjudgment, even if there is an abnormality, it may be caused by other reasons, not necessarily a problem with the proximity sensor. In one embodiment, before reporting the far away state to the application, steps may be included:

re-enabling the proximity sensor;

If the number of consecutively enabled exceptions is greater than the set value, enter the step of reporting the remote state to the application program.

If the enable is abnormal, the underlying driver will re-enable the proximity sensor. The setting value can be set according to the needs of the user, for example, set to 3 times. If the number of consecutive enabled exceptions is greater than the set value, the remote status will be reported to the application program.

In order for the user to know in time that the application abnormality is caused by the abnormality of the proximity sensor, and to repair the proximity sensor in time, in one embodiment, if the number of consecutively enabled abnormalities is greater than the set value, steps may also be included:

It is determined that the hardware of the proximity sensor is abnormal, and a reminder message that the hardware of the proximity sensor is abnormal is displayed.

When the number of consecutive enable exceptions is greater than the set value, it can be determined that there is a hardware problem in the proximity sensor chip. When the remote state is reported, a reminder message of the proximity sensor hardware abnormality is displayed at the same time, and the user is notified to repair the proximity sensor. Displaying the reminder information can be implemented in various ways, for example, popping up a window to remind the user of the hardware abnormality of the proximity sensor, or displaying a specific symbol to remind the user of the hardware abnormality of the proximity sensor.

In step S130, if it is determined that the enable is normal according to the feedback value, the underlying driver needs to report a state of approaching or moving away within a set time. The setting time generally takes the start of enabling as the time starting point, and the specific value can be set according to actual needs, for example, the setting time is set to 200ms (milliseconds).

If it is enabled and passed, but the underlying driver still does not report the status within the set time, it will directly report the away status. Compared with the solution in the prior art that the underlying driver does not report the state in this case, the present invention reports the away state to the application program, thereby ensuring the normal use of the application program when the proximity sensor is abnormal.

In order for the user to know in time that the application abnormality is caused by the abnormality of the proximity sensor, and to repair the proximity sensor in time, in one embodiment, when the status is not reported to the application program within the set time, steps may also be included:

It is determined that the function of the proximity sensor is abnormal, and a reminder message that the function of the proximity sensor is abnormal is displayed.

When the state is not reported to the application program within the set time, it can be determined that there is a problem with some functions of the chip of the proximity sensor. When the far away state is reported, a reminder message that the function of the proximity sensor is abnormal is also displayed at the same time to notify the user. Proximity sensor for repair. Displaying the reminder information can be realized in various ways, such as popping up a window to remind the user that the proximity sensor is abnormal, or displaying a specific symbol to remind the user that the proximity sensor is abnormal.

Based on the same inventive concept, the present invention also provides a processing device when the proximity sensor is abnormal. The specific implementation of the processing device of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in Figure 2, a processing device when the proximity sensor is abnormal, including:

The proximity sensor enabling module 110 is configured to receive an enabling instruction of the application program to the proximity sensor, and enable the proximity sensor according to the enabling instruction;

The first remote status reporting module 120 is configured to report the remote status to the application program when an exception is enabled;

The second remote state reporting module 130 is configured to report the remote state to the application program when it is enabled normally but the state is not reported to the application program within a set time.

The device of the present invention can be realized through a program module driven by the bottom layer, and is generally installed in a mobile terminal. In order to better understand the implementation process of the present invention, the technical features of each module are introduced in detail below.

Applications include phone calls, automatic backlight, false trigger prevention, screen-to-black gestures for touchscreens, and fingerprint control, among others. When the proximity sensor enabling module 110 receives an instruction to enable the proximity sensor from an App, it enables the proximity sensor. In one embodiment, the proximity sensor enabling module 110 powers on the proximity sensor and initializes registers according to the enabling instruction.

After the proximity sensor is enabled, there will be a feedback value, which includes information about whether the enable is normal, and whether the enable is normal can be determined according to the feedback value.

When the abnormality is determined to be enabled according to the feedback value, compared with the scheme in which the underlying driver does not report the status in the prior art, the first remote status reporting module 120 of the present invention reports the remote status to the application program, thereby ensuring that the application program when the proximity sensor is abnormal normal use of the program.

In order to avoid misjudgment, even if there is an abnormality, it may be caused by other reasons, and it is not necessarily a problem with the proximity sensor. In one embodiment, the first remote state reporting module 120 is also used to restart when the abnormality is enabled. The proximity sensor is enabled, and when the number of consecutive enable exceptions is greater than a set value, the remote state is reported to the application program.

In order to let the user know in time that the application abnormality is caused by the abnormality of the proximity sensor, and to repair the proximity sensor in time, in one embodiment, the first remote state reporting module 120 is enabled when the number of consecutive abnormalities is greater than the set value , is also used to determine that there is an abnormality in the hardware of the proximity sensor, and display a reminder message that the hardware of the proximity sensor is abnormal.

When the number of times of continuous abnormality is greater than the set value, it can be determined that there is a hardware problem in the chip of the proximity sensor, and when the first distance away state reporting module 120 reports the state away from the state, it also displays the reminder information that the proximity sensor hardware is abnormal, notifying The user performs maintenance on the proximity sensor. Displaying the reminder information can be implemented in various ways, for example, popping up a window to remind the user of the hardware abnormality of the proximity sensor, or displaying a specific symbol to remind the user of the hardware abnormality of the proximity sensor.

If it is determined to be enabled normally according to the feedback value, the underlying driver needs to report a state of approaching or moving away within the set time. The setting time generally takes the start of enabling as the starting point of the time, and the specific value can be set according to actual needs.

If it is enabled, but the status is still not reported within the set time, the second away status reporting module 130 directly reports the away status. Compared with the solution in the prior art that the underlying driver does not report the state in this case, the present invention reports the away state to the application program, thereby ensuring the normal use of the application program when the proximity sensor is abnormal.

In order for the user to know in time that the application abnormality is caused by the abnormality of the proximity sensor, and to repair the proximity sensor in time, in one embodiment, the second remote state reporting module 130 does not report to the application program within the set time state, it is also used to determine that the function of the proximity sensor is abnormal, and display a reminder message that the proximity sensor is abnormal.

When the state is not reported to the application program within the set time, it can be determined that there is a problem with some functions of the chip of the proximity sensor, then the second far away state reporting module 130 reports the far away state, and simultaneously displays the proximity sensor function abnormality The reminder information to notify the user to repair the proximity sensor. Displaying the reminder information can be realized in various ways, such as popping up a window to remind the user that the proximity sensor is abnormal, or displaying a specific symbol to remind the user that the proximity sensor is abnormal.
