Abstract

A method for controlling an intelligent wearable device, including generating, by a terminal device, a first power-off instruction, where the first power-off instruction is used to instruct the terminal device to power off; before the terminal device powers off, generating, by the terminal device, a second power-off instruction and sending the second power-off instruction to the intelligent wearable device associated with the terminal device, where the second power-off instruction is used to instruct the intelligent wearable device to power off or disable a communications module of the intelligent wearable device. By using the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure, power consumption of the intelligent wearable device can be reduced. In addition, the embodiments of the present disclosure further provide a corresponding apparatus and system.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A control method, comprising:
generating, by a terminal device based on a trigger condition, a first power-off instruction to power off the terminal device;
determining, by the terminal device, whether the trigger condition comprises restarting an operating system of the terminal device;
generating, by the terminal device, a second power-off instruction when the trigger condition does not comprise restarting the operating system of the terminal device; and
sending, by the terminal device before entering a power-off state, the second power-off instruction to an intelligent wearable device associated with the terminal device, the second power-off instruction being used to instruct the intelligent wearable device to power off or disable a communications module of the intelligent wearable device.

2. The control method of claim 1 , wherein generating, by the terminal device, the first power-off instruction, and generating, by the terminal device, the second power-off instruction comprises generating, by the terminal device, the first power-off instruction and the second power-off instruction at the same time.

3. The control method of claim 1 , wherein generating, by the terminal device, the first power-off instruction, and generating, by the terminal device, the second power-off instruction comprises generating, by the terminal device, the second power-off instruction after the terminal device generates the first power-off instruction and before the terminal device enters the power-off state.

4. A terminal device, comprising:
a memory configured to store executable instructions;
a processor coupled to the memory and configured to execute the executable instructions, the executable instructions causing the processor to be configured to:
generate, based on a trigger condition, a first power-off instruction to power off the terminal device;
determine whether the trigger condition comprises restarting an operating system of the terminal device;
generate a second power-off instruction when the trigger condition does not comprise restarting the operating system of the terminal device, the second power-off instruction being used to instruct an intelligent wearable device to power off or disable a communications module of the intelligent wearable device; and

a transmitter coupled to the processor and configured to send the second power-off instruction to the intelligent wearable device.

5. The terminal device of claim 4 , wherein the processor is further configured to generate the first power-off instruction and the second power-off instruction at the same time.

6. The terminal device of claim 4 , wherein the processor is further configured to generate the second power-off instruction after generating the first power-off instruction and before the terminal device powers off.

7. A control system, comprising:
an intelligent wearable device; and
a terminal device in communication with the intelligent wearable device, the terminal device comprising:
a memory configured to store executable instructions;
a processor coupled to the memory and configured to execute the executable instructions, the executable instructions causing the processor to be configured to:
generate, based on a trigger condition, a first power-off instruction operable to power off the terminal device;
determine whether the trigger condition comprises restarting an operating system of the terminal device; and
generate a second power-off instruction when the trigger condition does not comprise restarting the operating system of the terminal device, the second power-off instruction being used to instruct an intelligent wearable device to power off or disable a communications module of the intelligent wearable device; and

a transmitter coupled to the processor and configured to send the second power-off instruction to the intelligent wearable device, the intelligent wearable device being configured to:
receive the second power-off instruction; and
power off or disable the communications module of the intelligent wearable device according to the second power-off instruction.

8. The control system of claim 7 , wherein the terminal device is configured to generate the first power-off instruction and the second power-off instruction at the same time.

9. The control system of claim 7 , wherein the terminal device is configured to generate the second power-off instruction after generating the first power-off instruction and before the terminal device powers off.

10. A control method, comprising:
acquiring, by a terminal device, scenario information of the terminal device, the scenario information comprising one of time information, location information, or power information;
comparing, by the terminal device, the scenario information to preset scenario information, the preset scenario information being used to instruct an intelligent wearable device to power off or disable a communications module of the intelligent wearable device, the intelligent wearable device performing short-range wireless communication with the terminal device, and the preset scenario information comprising at least one of preset time information, preset location information, or preset power information; and
sending, by the terminal device, a first power-off instruction to the intelligent wearable device when the scenario information is same as the preset scenario information in response to comparing the scenario information to the preset scenario information, the first power-off instruction being used to instruct the intelligent wearable device to power off or disable the communications module of the intelligent wearable device.

11. The control method of claim 10 , wherein the preset scenario information is preset and stored in the terminal device.

12. A terminal device, comprising:
a memory configured to store executable instructions; and
a processor coupled to the memory and configured to execute the executable instructions, the executable instructions causing the processor to be configured to:
acquire scenario information of the terminal device, the scenario information comprising one of time information, location information, or power information;
compare the scenario information to preset scenario information, the preset scenario information being used to instruct an intelligent wearable device to power off or disable a communications module of the intelligent wearable device, the intelligent wearable device performing short-range wireless communication with the terminal device, and the preset scenario information comprising one of preset time information, preset location information, or preset power information; and
generate a first power-off instruction when the scenario information is the same as the preset scenario information in response to comparing the scenario information to the preset scenario information; and
send the first power-off instruction to the intelligent wearable device, the first power-off instruction being used to instruct the intelligent wearable device to power off or disable the communications module of the intelligent wearable device.

13. The terminal device of claim 12 , wherein the preset scenario information is preset and stored in the terminal device.

14. A control system, comprising:
an intelligent wearable device; and
a terminal device in communication with the intelligent wearable device, the terminal device comprising:
a memory configured to store executable instructions; and
a processor coupled to the memory and configured to execute the executable instructions, the executable instructions causing the processor to be conf
