Abstract

Embodiments of this application relate to a data processing method and a terminal. The method includes: obtaining a first network wakeup parameter, where the first network wakeup parameter is used to wake up an application program; performing reconfiguration processing on the first network wakeup parameter based on a preset first configuration condition to obtain a second network wakeup parameter; and configuring a driver of the terminal based on the second network wakeup parameter. The second network wakeup parameter is written into Wi-Fi firmware, so that the Wi-Fi firmware directly performs processing without waking up the application program when the first network wakeup parameter is received next time. Therefore, power consumption of the terminal is reduced, and a standby time of the terminal is prolonged.

First claim

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first network wakeup parameter or the second network wakeup parameter is associated with one of:
Magic packet;
Media connect/disconnect;
network list offload discovery;
802.1x Extensible Authentication Protocol request/identity packet;
Disassociates with an access point;
GNU image manipulation program toolkit handshake error;

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first driver comprises a Wi-Fi driver.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
writing the second network wakeup parameter into a Wi-Fi firmware.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving a current wakeup event from the first driver; and
setting, based on the current wakeup event, a fifth network wakeup parameter corresponding to the current wakeup event.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
updating the first configuration condition with a second configuration condition;
obtaining a third network wakeup parameter;
performing second reconfiguration processing on the third network wakeup parameter based on the second configuration condition to obtain a fourth network wakeup parameter; and
sending the fourth network wakeup parameter to the first driver.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein performing the first reconfiguration processing on the first network wakeup parameter based on the first configuration condition to obtain the second network wakeup parameter comprising: deleting or rewriting the first network wakeup parameter.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the preset first configuration condition is forbidding the terminal to be woken up from a time period.

9. A terminal, comprising:
a plurality of processors; and
a memory coupled to the plurality of processors and storing programming instructions that, when executed by the plurality of processors, cause the terminal to be configured to:
obtain a first network wakeup parameter for waking up an application program;
perform first reconfiguration processing on the first network wakeup parameter based on a preset first configuration condition to obtain a second network wakeup parameter; and
configure a first driver of the terminal based on the second network wakeup parameter.

11. The terminal of claim 9 , wherein the first driver comprises a Wi-Fi driver.

12. The terminal of claim 9 , wherein the programming instructions further cause the terminal to be configured to write the second network wakeup parameter into a Wi-Fi firmware.

13. The terminal according to claim 9 , wherein the programming instructions further cause the terminal to be configured to:
receive a current wakeup event from the first driver; and
set a fifth network wakeup parameter corresponding to the current wakeup event based on the current wakeup event.

14. The terminal according to claim 9 , wherein the programming instructions further cause the terminal to be configured to:
update the first configuration condition with a second configuration condition;
obtain a third network wakeup parameter configured by the first driver;
perform second reconfiguration processing on the third network wakeup parameter based on the second configuration condition to obtain a fourth network wakeup parameter; and
send the fourth network wakeup parameter to the first driver.

15. The terminal of claim 9 , wherein the preset first configuration condition is forbidding the terminal to be woken up from a time period.

16. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer-readable program code that, when executed by one or more processors of an apparatus, causes the apparatus to be configured to:
obtain a first network wakeup parameter for waking up an application program;
perform first reconfiguration processing on the first network wakeup parameter based on a preset first configuration condition to obtain a second network wakeup parameter; and
