Power consumption control method

Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of electronic equipment, and discloses a power consumption control method and device. The power consumption control method applied to a terminal comprises that a data downloading parameter which comprises a data downloading speed at least is obtained; a present downloading scene is determined according to the data downloading parameter; and according to present downloading scene, a work state of a processor is adjusted automatically till that a balance is made between the work state of the processor and the data downloading speed. In a high-speed downloading scene, the amount of activated processors is adjusted at least; and in a low-speed downloading scene, the working frequency of the processor adjusted. According to the invention, the present downloading scene is determined according to the obtained data downloading parameter, the work state of the processor is adjusted automatically according to the downloading scene, and a balance is made between the work state and the data downloading speed; and thus, the downloading speed is ensured while the power consumption is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of electronic equipment, in particular to a power consumption control method and device. Background technique [0002] Nowadays, with the continuous improvement of Internet technology and electronic equipment hardware manufacturing process, the speed of network upload and download becomes faster and faster. In a variety of application scenarios, the loading time of data is shortened, thereby improving people's work efficiency and user experience. [0003] At present, in order to enhance the processing capability of the mobile terminal, its processor is designed to integrate multiple cores with complete computing engines inside the processor to form a multi-core processor. Multiple cores can process different tasks separately or multiple cores can cooperate to process the same task, which balances the network bandwidth and improves network utilization. However, when the mobile terminal is in the data downlo...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, when the mobile terminal is in the data download scene, multiple cores are usually turned on to increase the download speed, and the more cores are turned on and the higher the operating frequency of the cores, the greater the power consumption of the mobile terminal. In the data download scenario, the power consumption is 60% to 70% higher, which seriously affects the standby time of the mobile terminal

In order to reduce power consumption and prolong the standby time of mobile terminals, the conventional design is to solve this problem by reducing the operating frequency of the processor and reducing the number of open cores when the mobile terminal is in the data downloading situation, but this will affect the network Download speed, while reducing the overall performance of the mobile terminal
