Abstract

Provided are a method and device for switching a scene mode, and a mobile terminal. According to the method, a first instruction for instructing a mobile terminal to switch a scene mode of the mobile terminal to a black screen mode is received, wherein the black screen mode includes that a display screen is in a black screen state, an audio output is in a muted state, responses to specific operations to the mobile terminal are shielded, wherein the specific operations include all operations except at least one preset operation for switching the scene mode of the mobile terminal from the black screen mode to a non-black screen mode; the scene mode of the mobile terminal is switched from the non-black screen mode to the black screen mode according to the first instruction. A scene mode disabling a mobile terminal from responding to most external random operations is provided.

First claim

1 . A method for switching a scene mode, comprising:
receiving a first instruction for instructing a mobile terminal to switch a scene mode of the mobile terminal to a black screen mode, wherein the black screen mode comprises that a display screen is in a black screen state, an audio output is in a muted state, and responses to specific operations to the mobile terminal are shielded, wherein the specific operations comprise all operations except at least one preset operation for switching the scene mode of the mobile terminal from the black screen mode to a non-black screen mode; and switching the scene mode of the mobile terminal from the non-black screen mode to the black screen mode according to the first instruction.

2 . The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein after switching the scene mode of the mobile terminal from the non-black screen mode to the black screen mode, the method further comprises:
receiving a second instruction for instructing the mobile terminal to switch out of the black screen mode; and judging whether the second instruction is the same as any one of the at least one preset operation for switching the scene mode of the mobile terminal from the black screen mode to the non-black screen mode, and when the second instruction is the same as any one of the at least one preset operation, switching the scene mode of the mobile terminal from the black screen mode to the non-black screen mode.

3 . The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least one preset operation for switching the scene mode of the mobile terminal from the black screen mode to the non-black screen mode comprises at least one of the followings:
an instruction inputted by a physical button and/or a touch button of the mobile terminal; an inductive signal of a specific characteristic, which is received by a sensor of the mobile terminal; and an incoming call from a preset number, or an incoming message.

4 . The method as claimed in claim 3 , wherein in a case that the at least one preset operation for switching the scene mode of the mobile terminal from the black screen mode to the non-black screen mode comprises the incoming call from the preset number or the incoming message, the method further comprises:
monitoring an incoming calling and/or message service of the mobile terminal in the black screen mode; and in a case that the mobile terminal has the incoming call and/or message service, switching the scene mode of the mobile terminal from the black screen mode to the non-black screen mode.

5 . The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein before switching the scene mode of the mobile terminal from the non-black screen mode to the black screen mode, the method further comprises:
storing an original state of the mobile terminal in the non-black screen mode.

6 . The method as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the original state of the mobile terminal in the non-black screen mode comprises at least one of the followings:
an audio setting in the non-black screen mode; and a display screen setting in the non-black screen mode.

7 . The method as claimed in claim 6 , wherein switching the scene mode of the mobile terminal from the black screen mode to the non-black screen mode comprises:
acquiring the original state of the mobile terminal in the non-black screen mode; and switching the mobile terminal to the original state of the mobile terminal in the non-black screen mode.

8 . A device for switching a scene mode, comprising:
a receiving component, configured to receive a first instruction for instructing a mobile terminal to switch a scene mode of the mobile terminal to a black screen mode, wherein the black screen mode comprises that a display screen is in a black screen state, an audio output is in a muted state, and responses to specific operations to the mobile terminal are shielded, wherein the specific operations comprise all operations except at least one preset operation for switching the scene mode of the mobile terminal from the black screen mode to a non-black screen mode; and a switching component, configured to switch the scene mode of the mobile terminal from the non-black screen mode to the black screen mode according to the first instruction.

9 . The device as claimed in claim 8 , further comprising:
a monitoring component, configured to monitor an incoming calling and/or message service of the mobile terminal in the black screen mode; and a second switching component configured to, in a case that the mobile terminal has the incoming call and/or message service, switch the scene mode of the mobile terminal from the black screen mode to the non-black screen mode.

10 . A mobile terminal, comprising:
a black screen mode which is set in a scene mode of the mobile terminal, wherein the black screen mode comprises that: a display screen is in a black screen state, an audio output is in a muted state, and responses to specific operations to the mobile terminal are shielded, wherein the specific operations comprise all operations except at least one preset operation for switching the scene mode of the mobile terminal from the black screen mode to a non-black screen mode.

11 . The method as claimed in claim 2 , wherein before switching the scene mode of the mobile terminal from the non-black screen mode to the black screen mode, the method further comprises:
storing an original state of the mobile terminal in the non-black screen mode.

12 . The method as claimed in claim 3 , wherein before switching the scene mode of the mobile terminal from the non-black screen mode to the black screen mode, the method further comprises:
storing an original state of the mobile terminal in the non-black screen mode.

13 . The method as claimed in claim 4 , wherein before switching the scene mode of the mobile terminal from the non-black screen mode to the black screen mode, the method further comprises:
storing an original state of the mobile terminal in the non-black screen mode.

14 . The method as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the original state of the mobile terminal in the non-black screen mode comprises at least one of the followings:
an audio setting in the non-black screen mode; and a display screen setting in the non-black screen mode.

15 . The method as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the original state of the mobile terminal in the non-black screen mode comprises at least one of the followings:
an audio setting in the non-black screen mode; and a display screen setting in the non-black screen mode.

16 . The method as claimed in claim 13 , wherein the original state of the mobile terminal in the non-black screen mode comprises at least one of the followings:
an audio setting in the non-black screen mode; and a display screen setting in the non-black screen mode.

17 . The method as claimed in claim 14 , wherein switching the scene mode of the mobile terminal from the black screen mode to the non-black screen mode comprises:
acquiring the original state of the mobile terminal in the non-black screen mode; and switching the mobile terminal to the original state of the mobile terminal in the non-black screen mode.

18 . The method as claimed in claim 15 , wherein switching the scene mode of the mobile terminal from the black screen mode to the non-black screen mode comprises:
acquiring the original state of the mobile terminal in the non-black screen mode; and switching the mobile terminal to the original state of the mobile terminal in the non-black screen mode.

19 . The method as claimed
