Mobile terminal and wake lock control method and system thereof

Abstract

The invention discloses a mobile terminal and a wake lock control method and system thereof. State detection is carried out on the mobile terminal; if the mobile terminal is in a running state, release operation is not executed on a wake lock; if the mobile terminal is in a stand-by state, property detection is further carried out on an application program with the wake lock in the mobile terminal, and release operation is not executed on the wake lock if the application program belongs to a system process or white list; if not, overtime detection is carried out on the application program with the wake lock in the mobile terminal, and if the wake lock using time of the application program does not exceed a preset time range, release operation is not executed on the wake lock, and overtime detection continues to be carried out on the application program; if the wake lock using time of the application program exceeds the preset time range, the wake lock of the application program is released. Mobile phone energy consumption is reduced, the running time is prolonged, and user experience is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of communication technology, in particular to a wake-up lock control method of a mobile terminal, a system applying the method, and a mobile terminal. Background technique [0002] In the design of handheld devices, due to the limited power supply, power management is particularly important. By suspending unnecessary devices, reducing CPU frequency or other methods, you can reduce energy consumption and achieve the purpose of power saving. As a system engineering, power management, from applications to kernel frameworks, to device drivers and hardware devices, effectively distributes power to different components of the system by reducing energy consumption when components are idle, so as to optimize power management. [0003] Android power management is based on standard Linux power management, and adds its own unique method to manage and save power. This Android unique method is called wake lock mechanism. In the ...

Problems solved by technology

However, some third-party applications do not standardize or even abuse the wake lock mechanism, which greatly affects the battery life of the mobile phone.

These applications apply for wake locks due to the needs of program operation, but they are not released after the operation is completed, resulting in increased system power consumption

There are also some applications that may be malicious applications that apply for a permanent wake-up lock, which makes the phone run in a state of high power consumption, and the battery life of the phone is greatly reduced.

The non-standard use of wake locks by these third-party applications is not easy to be noticed by users, and users do not know the corresponding solutions to this situation, and they may mistakenly think that there is a problem with the battery, so a mechanism is needed to optimize The use of wake locks in the system
