Abstract

A control method for a doze mode of a mobile terminal includes: determining whether the mobile terminal conforms with a mode switch condition; detecting whether a virtual motion sensor is disposed in the mobile terminal when the mobile terminal conforms with the mode switch condition; determining whether a duration for which the mobile terminal conforms with the mode switch condition exceeds a predetermined time threshold value, when the virtual motion sensor is disposed in the mobile terminal; and entering the doze mode when the duration for which the mobile terminal conforms with the mode switch condition exceeds the predetermined time threshold value. A computer readable storage medium and a mobile terminal are also provided.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A control method for a doze mode of a mobile terminal, comprising:
determining whether the mobile terminal conforms with a mode switch condition;
detecting whether a virtual motion sensor is disposed in the mobile terminal in response to the mobile terminal conforming with the mode switch condition;
determining whether a duration for which the mobile terminal conforms with the mode switch condition exceeds a predetermined time threshold value in response to the virtual motion sensor being disposed in the mobile terminal; and
entering the doze mode when the duration for which the mobile terminal conforms with the mode switch condition exceeds the predetermined time threshold value,
wherein the step of detecting whether the virtual motion sensor is disposed in the mobile terminal comprises:
determining whether an application framework layer of the mobile terminal includes a motion sensor object,
wherein parameters of the motion sensor object at least comprise a name, a version, a model number, and a manufacturer parameter, and
wherein the control method further comprises:
remaining in a state of the mode switch condition until the duration exceeds the predetermined time threshold value, when the duration for which the mobile terminal conforms with the mode switch condition does not exceed the predetermined time threshold value.

2. The control method of claim 1 , wherein the control method further comprises:
generating the virtual motion sensor when the application framework layer of the mobile terminal does not include the motion sensor object.

3. The control method of claim 1 , wherein the mode switch condition refers to that the mobile terminal is in a turned-off screen state and is in a state of being not connected to a power source.

4. The control method of claim 3 , wherein after the entering the doze mode, the control method further comprises:
detecting whether the mobile terminal is switched from the turned-off screen state to a turned-on screen state; and
exiting the doze mode in response to the mobile terminal being switched from the turned-off screen state to the turned-on screen state.

5. The control method of claim 3 , wherein after the entering the doze mode, the control method further comprises:
detecting whether the mobile terminal is switched from the state of being not connected to the power source to a state of being connected to the power source; and
exiting the doze mode in response to the mobile terminal being switched from the state of being not connected to the power source to the state of being connected to the power source.

6. The control method of claim 1 , wherein the time threshold value is one hour.

7. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium, wherein the computer readable storage medium stores computer programs therein, and the computer programs are executed by a processor to implement the following steps of:
determining whether a mobile terminal conforms with a mode switch condition;
detecting whether a virtual motion sensor is disposed in the mobile terminal in response to the mobile terminal conforming with the mode switch condition;
determining whether a duration for which the mobile terminal conforms with the mode switch condition exceeds a predetermined time threshold value in response to the virtual motion sensor being disposed in the mobile terminal; and
entering a doze mode when the duration for which the mobile terminal conforms with the mode switch condition exceeds the predetermined time threshold value,
wherein in the detecting whether the virtual motion sensor is disposed in the mobile terminal, the computer programs are executed by the processor to implement the following step of:
determining whether an application framework layer of the mobile terminal includes a motion sensor object,
wherein parameters of the motion sensor object at least comprise a name, a version, a model number, and a manufacturer parameter; and
wherein the computer programs are executed by the processor to further implement the following step of:
remaining in a state of the mode switch condition until the duration exceeds the predetermined time threshold value, when the duration for which the mobile terminal conforms with the mode switch condition does not exceed the predetermined time threshold value.

8. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 7 , wherein the computer programs are executed by the processor to further implement the following step of:
generating the virtual motion sensor when the application framework layer of the mobile terminal does not include the motion sensor object.

9. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 7 , wherein the mode switch condition refers to that the mobile terminal is in a turned-off screen state and is in a state of being not connected to a power source.

10. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein after the entering the doze mode, the computer programs are executed by the processor to further implement the following steps of:
detecting whether the mobile terminal is switched from the turned-off screen state to a turned-on screen state; and
exiting the doze mode in response to the mobile terminal being switched from the turned-off screen state to the turned-on screen state.

11. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 9 , wherein after the entering the doze mode, the computer programs are executed by the processor to further implement the following steps of:
detecting whether the mobile terminal is switched from the state of being not connected to the power source to a state of being connected to the power source; and
exiting the doze mode in response to the mobile terminal being switched from the state of being not connected to the power source to the state of being connected to the power source.

12. A mobile terminal, wherein the mobile terminal comprises a processor, a storage device, and computer programs stored in the storage device and being operable by the processor, and the computer programs are executed by the processor to implement the following steps of:
determining whether the mobile terminal conforms with a mode switch condition;
detecting whether a virtual motion sensor is disposed in the mobile terminal in response to the mobile terminal conforming with the mode switch condition;
determining whether a duration for which the mobile terminal conforms with the mode switch condition exceeds a predetermined time threshold value in response to the virtual motion sensor being disposed in the mobile terminal; and
entering a doze mode when the duration for which the mobile terminal conforms with the mode switch condition exceeds the predetermined time threshold value,
wherein in the detecting whether the virtual motion sensor is disposed in the mobile terminal, the computer programs are executed by the processor to implement the following step of:
determining whether an application framework layer of the mobile terminal includes a motion sensor object,
wherein parameters of the motion sensor object at least comprise a name, a version, a model number, and a manufacturer parameter; and
wherein the computer programs are executed by the processor to further implement the following step of:
remaining in a state of the mode switch condition until the duration exceeds the predetermined time threshold value, when the duration for which the mobile terminal conforms with the mode switch condition does not exceed the predetermined time threshold value.
