Detailed Description

The present application is described in further detail below with reference to the attached drawings.

FIG. 1 is a flow diagram of a method for saving power for a device in one embodiment. It should be understood that, although the steps in the flowchart of fig. 1 are shown in order as indicated by the arrows, the steps are not necessarily performed in order as indicated by the arrows; the steps are not limited to be performed in the exact order disclosed, and steps may be performed in other orders, unless explicitly stated otherwise; and at least some of the steps in fig. 1 may include multiple sub-steps or multiple stages that are not necessarily performed at the same time, but may be performed at different times, and the order of performance of the sub-steps or stages is not necessarily sequential, but may be performed in turn or alternately with other steps or at least some of the sub-steps or stages of other steps.

The embodiment of the application discloses a power saving method of equipment, which is shown in figure 1. The method comprises steps S101-S103.

Step S101, acquiring the real-time state of the user equipment.

Specifically, the user equipment comprises digital processing equipment such as a notebook computer and the like with a mobile battery, and is provided with an open source system for modifying programs, wherein the open source system comprises a domestic operating system and can be deeply developed, namely, a device driver is modified. The real-time state includes an idle state, the software includes system software and application software, the system software is a system for controlling and coordinating a computer and external devices, supporting development and operation of the application software, and is a set of various programs without user intervention, so in this embodiment, the acquired software is the application software.

Step S102, determining a device in an idle state.

In one example, in an open source system, idle flags are set, including idle flag =1 and idle flag = 0. Idle flag bit =1 is used to indicate a device idle state; idle flag =0 is used to indicate the device operating status; and judging whether the equipment is idle, and if the equipment is in an idle state, saving the register value of the equipment. The idle zone bit =1 in the specification of the application corresponds to the idle state of the software; idle flag =0 corresponds to the operating state of the software.

After the register value of the equipment is saved, the power supply of the equipment is turned off to control GPIO, and finally an idle flag bit =1 is set; the device power supply control GPIO comprises a power supply, a power switch and a GPIO; the power switch is used for controlling the GPIO to start the device to supply power; the GPIO is used for storing signals of the device switch; judging whether a default set idle zone bit =1 is established, and if so, judging whether equipment is used; otherwise, clear idle flag = 0. And starting up the power supply control GPIO of the equipment, and automatically clearing the idle zone bit =0 after recovering the register value of the equipment.

The equipment stores the current core register value, each kind of equipment has its own register, and the registers are different and used for controlling the equipment work, when the computer is started, all the equipment needs to perform corresponding register initialization work, and the equipment can normally work after the initialization is completed. The register value is stored in the memory, the memory is always in the running state and cannot be closed, then a user can perform corresponding operation according to the requirement of the user, and at the moment, the system is in the working state.

And step S103, closing the power supply of the equipment in the idle state.

Specifically, the software in the idle state is the application software in the idle state.

In one example, after the user sets the sound card device to "10 minutes" through the control panel under the system, if the operating system finds that the sound card has not been used by any application software, the sound card will be indicated as "unused", at which time the sound card is in an idle state, and if the sound card is idle for 10 minutes, the system calls the device driver to send out a save sound card register value and then turns off the power supply of the sound card through the corresponding GPIO. The sound card equipment does not consume power at this time, so that the aim of saving power is fulfilled. If half an hour passes, the customer uses the multimedia software to play sound, the multimedia software calls the sound card driving program to carry out read-write operation, the sound card driving modified by the patent firstly judges that the sound card is in a non-power supply state in a read-write interface function, does not directly carry out the read-write operation, but firstly powers on the sound card, then restores the register value stored in the memory space (the memory space is always powered on), enables the sound card to restore to a normal working state, and then carries out normal equipment access operation.

Turning off power supply to the device in an idle state, comprising: and automatically closing the power supply of the equipment in the non-operating state, wherein the non-operating state is the idle state.

In the above example, after the preset time is set, the operating system may turn off the power supply of the device according to the preset condition after the device is idle. In this case, the length of the preset time is not limited.

And automatically closing the power supply of the equipment in the non-operating state, wherein the equipment in the non-operating state presets the equipment in a closed list for a user, and the non-operating state is an idle state.

In one example, a user needs to frequently speak the PPT, at this time, application software such as a network card and a sound card of a notebook computer is in an idle state for a long time, and can set the sound card and the network card as unnecessary functions by himself or herself, select the unnecessary devices as "immediately off",

the operating system schedules the device driver to turn off the corresponding device power supply once the device is not used, thereby immediately achieving the purpose of saving power. The difference between "ten minute later shut down" and "immediate shut down" is that some scene devices may be idle for some time, but may be used soon, at which time the actions of shutting down and turning on the device power should not be too frequent in order to reduce the time overhead of saving and restoring device registers. If the customer is certain not to use the device for a longer period of time in the future, then "immediate shutdown" may be selected for optimal power savings.

In one example, power is restored to the device in the idle state in response to a user resuming device power operation in the idle state. When the user leaves for more than ten minutes, the device automatically closes the idle application software, and at the moment, the user needs to use the closed device again, at the moment, a driver of the device is called, the driver issues that the device is in the closed state, the device is firstly powered on through the GPIO, then the register value stored before the power failure of the last time is restored, and at the moment, the device is restored to the working state. It is an operation that is imperceptible to the user. Of course, the device driver will have some overhead in recovery delay.

In one example, the external power supply automatically restores power to the device in an idle state when the device is connected to the external power supply. When the equipment is shut down for too long time or the equipment is shut down due to too long time of use, the equipment in the idle state can be automatically recovered to supply power only by connecting an external power supply, the register values of the equipment are automatically restored, and the register value data are the last data before the equipment is shut down and are stored in the memory

Based on the method, the embodiment of the application also discloses a circuit principle schematic diagram of the power saving device of the equipment.

As shown in fig. 2, the schematic diagram of the circuit principle is that when the device is in an idle state, the key register value of the device is first saved, and then the GPIO is controlled by the device power supply to turn off the power supply of the device. When the device is used, the GPIO is controlled by the device power supply to start the device for power supply, and then the key register of the device is restored to enable the device to recover the normal working state.

Based on the method, the embodiment of the application also discloses a power saving device of the equipment.

As shown in fig. 3, the apparatus includes an obtaining module 1, a determining module 2, and a closing module 3; the acquisition module 1 is used for acquiring the real-time state of software; the determining module 2 is used for determining software in an idle state; the closing module 3 is in communication connection with the acquisition module 1 and is used for receiving the signal sent by the acquisition module 1 and closing the power supply of the equipment.

In an example, after the current state of the device is acquired by the acquisition module 1, whether the device is in an idle state is determined by the determination module 2, and if no application software uses the device and the device is in the idle state, the shutdown module 3 sends a signal to shut down the power supply of the device in the idle state.

In one example, the obtaining module 1 is further configured to obtain whether an external power supply exists, and if the external power supply exists, the device performs normal operation without monitoring a real-time state of the current device; and if no external power supply exists, starting to monitor the real-time state of the equipment.

In one example, the obtaining module 1 is further configured to obtain an input instruction, and if the device has no operation instruction or no access request from the application software within ten minutes, the system determines that the device is in an idle state, and then turns off power supply to the device in the idle state.
