Detailed Description
The following description of the embodiments of the present application will be made clearly and completely with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which it is apparent that the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the present application, but not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the application without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the application.
The electronic device for executing the information processing method for the present application may be a peripheral device for connecting the processing device and the input device, or may be an input device, and two signal transmission paths are provided between the electronic device and the processing device, so as to respectively transmit different signals.
As shown in fig. 1, a flowchart of an embodiment 1 of an information processing method according to the present application is applied to an electronic device, where the electronic device is connected to a processing device, and the method includes the following steps:
step S101: obtaining a first trigger signal;
the obtained trigger signal is a first trigger signal when the processing device is in the first mode or the second mode, and the first trigger signal is used for triggering the processing device to switch to the third model.
The first trigger signal is generated based on a trigger operation, and the trigger operation may be a trigger operation performed on an input device or a trigger operation performed on an input structure of an electronic device.
As one example, a user presses an enter key on a keyboard, and based on the key trigger operation, a first trigger signal is generated.
Step S102: transmitting a first switching signal to a processing device via a first path in response to the first trigger signal if the connected processing device is in a first mode, such that the processing device can switch from the first mode to a third mode;
the electronic equipment and the processing equipment are provided with two paths for transmitting signals, a first path and a second path, wherein the first path and the second path are different.
And if the connected processing equipment is in the first mode, responding to the first trigger signal, and transmitting a first switching signal to the processing equipment through a first path between the electronic equipment and the processing equipment.
The first switching signal is a signal for triggering the processing device to switch to the third model, and the processing device can switch from the first switching mode to the third mode after receiving the first switching signal.
Step S103: and if the connected processing equipment is in a second mode, responding to the first trigger signal, and transmitting a second switching signal to the processing equipment through a second path so that the processing equipment can be switched from the second mode to the third mode.
The power consumption of the first mode is lower than that of the third mode, and the power consumption of the second mode is lower than that of the third mode.
For example, the processing device is in a first mode, the second mode is a sleep mode of different modes, and when the processing device is in a third mode, it is a normal operation mode capable of receiving signals from other devices connected thereto.
And if the connected processing equipment is in the second mode, responding to the first trigger signal, and transmitting a second switching signal to the processing equipment through a second path between the electronic equipment and the processing equipment.
In a specific implementation, when the processing device is in the first mode, the first channel between the processing device and the electronic device can transmit signals, and when the processing device is in the second mode, the first channel between the processing device and the electronic device cannot transmit signals, and correspondingly, in this embodiment, when the processing device is determined to be in the first mode, the first switching signal is transmitted to the processing device through the first channel, and when the processing device is determined to be in the second mode, the second switching signal is transmitted to the processing device through the second channel.
The second switching signal is a signal for triggering the processing device to switch to the third model, and the processing device can switch from the second switching mode to the third mode after receiving the second switching signal.
If the processing device performs mode switching, the transmission path for transmitting the switching signal between the electronic device and the processing device is correspondingly adjusted.
Specifically, if it is determined that the processing device is switched from the first mode to the second mode, transmitting a first switching signal to the processing device through a first path is prohibited, and transmitting a second switching signal to the processing device through a second path is controlled;
and if the processing equipment is determined to be switched from the second mode to the first mode, controlling to transmit a first switching signal to the processing equipment through a first channel.
In summary, in the information processing method provided in the present embodiment, after the connected processing device is in the first mode or the second mode with two lower power consumption, after the first trigger signal is received, different switching signals are transmitted to the processing device through different paths based on different modes, so that the processing device is switched to the third mode with higher power consumption. In the scheme, based on the fact that the processing equipment is in different modes and different modes for responding to the first trigger signals are adopted, the processing equipment can be switched to the third mode.
As shown in fig. 2, a flowchart of an embodiment 2 of an information processing method provided by the present application includes the following steps:
step S201: obtaining a first trigger signal;
step S202: transmitting a first switching signal to a processing device via a first path in response to the first trigger signal if the connected processing device is in a first mode, such that the processing device can switch from the first mode to a third mode;
step S203: transmitting a second switching signal to the processing device through a second path in response to the first trigger signal if the connected processing device is in a second mode, such that the processing device can switch from the second mode to the third mode;
steps S201 to 203 are identical to steps S101 to 103 in embodiment 1, and are not described in detail in this embodiment.
Step S204: obtaining a second trigger signal;
the second trigger signal and the first trigger signal only indicate signals of different occasions, and the content/type can be the same or different.
For example, the second trigger signal and the first trigger signal have the same content and refer to the same key trigger signal; the different contents of the second trigger signal and the first trigger signal refer to signals triggered by different keys.
For example, the second trigger signal and the first trigger signal are the same in type and refer to signals triggered by the same type of operation, such as signals generated by operating a keyboard or signals generated by operating a mouse;
for example, the different types of the second trigger signal and the first trigger signal refer to signals triggered by operation of not one type, such as signals generated by operating a keyboard and a mouse.
Wherein, in case the processing device is in the third mode, the obtained trigger signal is a second trigger signal for triggering the processing device to respond in a completely different way than the switching mode.
Step S205: and transmitting the second trigger signal to the processing equipment in the third mode through the first channel.
Wherein the power consumption of the first mode is higher than the power consumption of the second mode.
Wherein the power consumption of the processing device in the first mode is higher than the power consumption in the second mode.
Specifically, in the second mode, part of the application is stopped, and the processing device is disconnected from the first path of the electronic device, and only the second path is maintained; in the first mode, only part of the application is stopped, and the processing device is conducted with the first path and the second path of the electronic device. Moreover, the application stopped in the second mode is greater than or equal to the application stopped in the first mode.
And in the third mode, the processing device is normally operated and is communicated with the first path and the second path of the electronic device.
As one example, the first pathway is USB (Universal Serial Bus ) bus (bus) and the second pathway is CC (Configuration Channel ). In the second mode, the processing device is in super power saving or sleep mode, most of the applications stop, the controller and other structures stop running, the USB interface is powered off, and the first path is disconnected. In the first mode, the processing device is in a power saving mode, only part of applications are stopped, only part of the controllers are stopped, and the USB interface is kept powered.
In the embodiment of the present application, a USB interface is taken as an example for illustration, but the implementation is not limited to this, and an interface of other protocols may be used in the processing device and the electronic device, where the interface is powered off or some reason to cause that the interface cannot perform signal transmission with the electronic device when the processing device is in a specific mode, and is powered on or other reason to enable signal transmission with the electronic device when the interface is in other modes.
And the second trigger signals received subsequently are all transmitted through the first channel after the processing equipment is switched to the third mode, no matter whether the processing equipment is switched to the third mode from the first mode or the second mode.
Specifically, after the processing device switches back to the third mode, power is supplied to the USB interface, and if the USB bus is turned on, the received trigger signal (the second trigger signal) is transmitted through the USB bus.
Wherein the second trigger signal is used to trigger the processing device to respond in a completely different manner than switching to the third mode, the response being specifically for an application running in the processing device.
For example, the second trigger signal is a key value of a space, and the response to the second trigger signal in the processing device is to pause the video being played.
In summary, the information processing method provided in this embodiment further includes: obtaining a second trigger signal; transmitting the second trigger signal to the processing device in the third mode through the first path; wherein the power consumption of the first mode is higher than the power consumption of the second mode. In this scheme, after the processing device switches from the first mode or the second mode to the third mode, the obtained second trigger signals are all transmitted to the processing device through the first path, and the first path is used as a default path for transmitting the second trigger signals.

After the first trigger signal is obtained, the corresponding pin is determined based on the mode of the connected processing equipment, and then the corresponding pin is transmitted to the processing equipment based on the corresponding path of the pin.
If the interface is a USB-typeC interface, the electronic equipment and the processing equipment are connected through a USB-typeC data line. The USB-typeC interface comprises two paths, wherein USB bus is used as one path for transmitting signals of the USB bus protocol, and CC is used as the other path for transmitting signals of other protocols.
As shown in fig. 4, a system schematic diagram is shown, which includes a processing device 401 and an electronic device 402, wherein the processing device and the electronic device respectively use a USB-typeC interface, and the interface corresponds to two paths, including a first path USB-bus and a second path CC.
Of course, the connection manner between the processing device and the present electronic device is not limited to the above.
In a specific implementation, an interface is provided in the electronic device, where the interface has a plurality of pins, and a special pin can correspond to both the first channel and the second channel, and different channels adopt different protocols, so when the first trigger signal is responded, when the different channels are determined, the protocols corresponding to the channels are adopted, so that the determined channels can transmit corresponding switching signals.
For example, determining to transmit the switching signal by using the first path, and transmitting the first switching signal by using a protocol corresponding to the first path; and determining to transmit the switching signal by adopting a second path, and transmitting a second switching signal by adopting a protocol corresponding to the second path.
In a specific implementation, the electronic device may further be provided with two interfaces, a first interface having a first pin, the first pin corresponding to the first path, and a second interface having a second pin, the second pin corresponding to the second path.

in this embodiment, an input structure is provided in the electronic device, and a user can execute a trigger operation through the input structure provided in the electronic device.
Wherein the first detection signal is used to detect whether a first path between the processing device and an electronic device (also acting as an input device) is clear.
If the processing device is in the first mode, it needs to maintain the first path unblocked, specifically, by generating a first detection signal and sending the first detection signal to the processing device, so as to detect the condition of the first path.
The first detection signal is sent according to a default period, and the duration of a specific period can be set according to actual conditions, which is not limited in this embodiment.

The value of the time threshold is a value larger than the transmission period of the first detection signal, for example, 2 times or 5 times of the period, and the specific value of the time threshold is not limited in the application.
When the processing device is in the second mode, the first channel of the processing device is disconnected, and the first detection signal is not transmitted any more.
If the first detection signal from the processing device is not received after the time threshold is exceeded, the processing device is not generating the first detection signal, i.e. the processing device is in the second mode.

The first detection signal is used for detecting whether a passage between the processing equipment and the input equipment is smooth, and the electronic equipment is arranged between the processing equipment and the input equipment, when the mode of the processing equipment is changed, the power of the USB interface of the processing equipment is cut off and the power of the USB interface is supplied again, and the passage between the input equipment and the electronic equipment is not affected, so that in the scheme, the electronic equipment only needs to determine whether the first detection signal of the processing equipment is received or not.
If the first detection signal of the processing device is received, the first detection signal needs to be further forwarded to the connected input device, so that the processing device detects whether the connection between the processing device and the input device is unobstructed or not based on the first detection signal, and the connection comprises two paths: a first path and a path between the processing device and the input device.
Step S1003: if the time when the first detection signal from the processing equipment is not received exceeds a time threshold, determining that the processing equipment is in the second mode;
step S1003 corresponds to step S902 in embodiment 7, and details thereof are not described in this embodiment.
Step S1004: generating a second detection signal, and transmitting the second detection signal to the input device;
wherein the second detection signal and the first detection signal satisfy the same condition.
Wherein if it is determined that the processing device is in the second mode, the electronic device still needs to detect whether its connection with the input device is clear.
Specifically, the electronic device generates a second detection signal that satisfies the same condition as the first detection signal, and sends the second detection signal to the input device to simulate the connection between the processing device and the input device.
In particular, the same condition is that the first detection signal is identical or similar to the second detection signal, and the first detection signal is indistinguishable from the second detection signal as seen from the input device side, which can respond to both detection signals in the same manner.
Step S1005: obtaining a first trigger signal;

As shown in fig. 11, a flowchart of an embodiment 9 of an information processing method according to the present application is provided, and the method is applied to an electronic device, and includes the following steps:
Step S1101: obtaining a first trigger signal;
step S1101 is identical to step S101 in embodiment 1, and is not described in detail in this embodiment.
Step S1102: transmitting a first switching signal based on a first path in response to the first trigger signal;
the electronic device responds to the first trigger signal by default and sends a switching signal through a first channel.
Specifically, after the first trigger signal is obtained, the first switching signal is transmitted based on the default first path in response to the first trigger signal.
And, after the first switching signal is transmitted, starting to count time, and obtaining a count time to determine whether the notification signal is received through the first path within a preset time period.
If the processing device receives the first switching signal through the first channel, the processing device switches to the third mode, and after the processing device switches to the third mode, the processing device needs to determine the connection device condition of each interface, and the processing device generates a notification signal and sends the notification signal to each interface of the processing device to obtain device information of the devices connected by each interface, so as to realize the enumeration process of the processing device in switching to the third mode.
If the processing device can receive the first switching signal through the first channel, the processing device can switch to the third mode and generate the notification signal within a preset time period after the first switching signal is sent.
Step S1103: if a notification signal is received through a first channel within a preset time period after transmission, determining that the processing equipment is in a first mode;
if the notification signal is received through the first channel within a preset time period after the transmission, it is known that the first trigger signal transmitted through the first channel can be transmitted to the processing device, and the processing device is in the first mode and can receive the first trigger signal through the first channel.
If a notification signal sent by the processing device through the first channel is received, the processing device is indicated to respond to the first switching signal and has been switched to the third mode.
Step S1104: if the notification signal is not received through the first path within a preset time period after the transmission, determining that the processing equipment is in a second mode, and transmitting a second switching signal to the processing equipment through the second path.
If the notification signal is not received through the first channel within a preset time period after the transmission, the processing device is not responsive to the first switching signal, and the processing device can be determined to be in the second mode.
Thus, a second path is employed to send a second switching signal to the processing device to cause the processing device to switch from the second mode to the third mode.
And if the second switching signal is sent to the processing equipment through the second path, receiving a notification signal sent by the processing equipment through the first path within a preset time period, determining that the processing equipment is switched to a third state, and continuing to send the second trigger signal through the first path.
In an implementation, if the first trigger signal is obtained again, the first trigger signal is still sent through the first path.

In the scheme, in response to a first trigger signal, a switching signal is sent through a first channel, and whether the processing equipment is in a first mode or a second mode is determined based on whether a notification signal is received through the first channel in a preset time period after the switching signal is sent, if the processing equipment is in the second mode, the second switching signal is sent to the processing equipment through a second channel, so that the switching signal can be sent to the processing equipment.

Step S1202: transmitting the first trigger signal as a first switching signal to a processing device through a first path in response to the first trigger signal if the connected processing device is in a first mode, so that the processing device can switch from the first mode to a third mode;
and if the processing equipment is in the first mode, responding to the first trigger signal.
And the first trigger signal and the first channel adopt the same protocol, and the first trigger signal is used as a first switching signal to be transmitted to the processing equipment through the first channel.
Wherein the first trigger signal and the first switching signal are the same signal on different devices.
The protocol adopted by the first trigger signal may be a UBS bus protocol or the like.
Step S1203: if the connected processing equipment is in a second mode, responding to the first trigger signal, and generating a second switching signal according to the first trigger signal;
Wherein the second path and the first trigger signal employ different protocols, and when the processing device is in the second mode, the switching signal needs to be sent through the second path in response to the first trigger signal.
Specifically, a second switching signal is generated according to the first triggering signal.
The second path is a configuration channel, and the configuration event can be transmitted on the second path, and accordingly, the USB bus protocol information is converted into the configuration event.
It should be noted that a new event type support is added to the USB PD (USB Power Delivery, power transfer protocol) 3.1 specification (Universal Serial Bus Power Delivery Specification, revision 3.1, may 2021), which includes: power state change (Power State Change), power button press/Release (Power button Press/Release), controller initiates wake-up (Controller Initiated wake). The new PD specifications are supported by the Type-C host. The host terminal has the opportunity to wake up by the outside through a specific event on the CC channel on the Type-C port under the condition of keeping the super power saving (USB controller is closed and USB port power is closed).
Wherein in the present application, the received first trigger signal is converted to a standard wake-up event in the form of a power button press/Release (Power button Press/Release) or controller initiated wake-up (Controller Initiated wake) specified in the UBS PD3.1 specification.
Accordingly, in the present application, after the processing device receives the second switching signal, it is determined that the second switching signal is a standard wake-up event, and then a processor controller or the like of the processing device wakes up a structure that the processing device sleeps in a super power saving mode, and the controller or the like sleeps when the processing device is in the second mode, and does not control to supply power to the first path part in the interface, so that the first path cannot transmit a signal.
Step S1204: a second switching signal is transmitted to the processing device over a second path such that the processing device can switch from the second mode to the third mode.
After the second switching signal is generated, the second switching signal accords with a protocol of the second path, and the second switching signal is transmitted to the processing equipment through the second path, so that the processing equipment receives the second switching signal and switches to the third mode.
In summary, the information processing method provided in this embodiment further includes: transmitting the first trigger signal as a first switching signal to a processing device based on the processing device being in a first mode; and generating a second switching signal according to the first trigger signal based on the connected processing equipment being in a second mode. In the scheme, based on the fact that the processing equipment is in a first mode, the first trigger signal is directly used as a first switching signal to be sent to the processing equipment, and other processing is not needed; based on the processing equipment being in the second mode, generating a second switching signal according to the first trigger signal, enabling the conversion function, realizing the transmission of different switching signals for different channels, and ensuring that the processing equipment can receive the switching signal and switch to the third mode.
