It can be seen that when the mobile terminal working in the WiFi access point mode is in the off-screen state, the user does not need to see the connection status of the mobile terminal connected to the access point and working in the WiFi workstation mode. Therefore, the mobile terminal according to the off-screen state Dynamically adjust the monitoring cycle with the bright screen, not only can reduce the power consumption of the mobile terminal working in the WiFi access point mode, but also reduce the power consumption of the mobile terminal working in the WiFi workstation mode.

S204. The first terminal detects whether it enters a screen-on state.

S205. The first terminal sends test data to the second terminal with the first preset duration as a first period when detecting that the screen is on.

It can be seen that in the terminal monitoring method provided by the embodiment of the present invention, first, the first terminal sends test data to the second terminal that establishes a WiFi connection with the first terminal with the first preset duration as the first cycle when the screen is on , to monitor the connection status of the second terminal, wherein the first terminal is a terminal working in the WiFi access point mode, and the second terminal is a terminal working in the WiFi workstation mode, and secondly, the first terminal detects whether it enters the screen-off state, When it is detected that the screen is off, the monitoring period is adjusted to a second period, that is, the test data is sent to the second terminal with the second preset duration as the second period, and the second period is greater than the first period. It can be seen that when the mobile terminal working in the WiFi access point mode is in the off-screen state, the user does not need to see the connection status of the mobile terminal connected to the access point and working in the WiFi workstation mode. Therefore, the mobile terminal according to the off-screen state Dynamically adjust the monitoring cycle with the bright screen, not only can reduce the power consumption of the mobile terminal working in the WiFi access point mode, but also reduce the power consumption of the mobile terminal working in the WiFi workstation mode.

Among them, if the second terminal is accidentally disconnected before the first terminal enters the bright screen state, and at this time the first terminal has not yet reached the cycle of sending test data, at this time, it will cause the user that the connection of the second terminal has actually been disconnected. However, the first terminal still displays a bad connection experience with the second terminal because the periodical monitoring has not yet expired. Therefore, by implementing steps S204 to S205, when the first terminal detects that the screen has entered the bright screen state, it immediately sends test data to the second terminal instead of waiting for the periodic inspection time to expire before detecting. The test data sent by one terminal is used to quickly judge the connection status of the second terminal.

It can be seen that in the terminal monitoring method provided by the embodiment of the present invention, first, the first terminal sends test data to the second terminal that establishes a WiFi connection with the first terminal with the first preset duration as the first cycle when the screen is on , to monitor the connection status of the second terminal, wherein the first terminal is a terminal working in the WiFi access point mode, and the second terminal is a terminal working in the WiFi workstation mode, and secondly, the first terminal detects whether it enters the screen-off state, When it is detected that the screen is off, the monitoring period is adjusted to a second period, that is, the test data is sent to the second terminal with the second preset duration as the second period, and the second period is greater than the first period. It can be seen that when the mobile terminal working in the WiFi access point mode is in the off-screen state, the user does not need to see the connection status of the mobile terminal connected to the access point and working in the WiFi workstation mode.

S402. The first terminal detects whether to enter a screen-off state.

S403. When the first terminal detects that the screen is turned off, it detects whether the first terminal is in a charging state.

S404. When detecting that the first terminal is not in a charging state, the first terminal sends test data to the second terminal with a second preset duration as a second cycle.

Wherein, when the first terminal is connected to the charger, that is, when it is in the charging state, there is no need to consider the power consumption problem. Therefore, when the first terminal detects that the screen is off, and detects that the first terminal is not in the Only when the charging state is in the charging state, the monitoring period is adjusted, and the test data is sent to the second terminal with the second preset duration as the second period. When the first terminal detects that it has entered the screen-off state and detects that the first terminal is in a charging state, the detection period may be shortened, or test data may be sent to the second terminal according to the original first period.

It can be seen that when the mobile terminal working in the WiFi access point mode is in the off-screen state, the user does not need to see the connection status of the mobile terminal connected to the access point and working in the WiFi workstation mode. Therefore, the mobile terminal according to the off-screen state Dynamically adjust the monitoring cycle with the bright screen, not only can reduce the power consumption of the mobile terminal working in the WiFi access point mode, but also reduce the power consumption of the mobile terminal working in the WiFi workstation mode.
