Abstract

A dual-system state synchronization method performed by an electronic device is provided. The electronic device is capable of running a first system and a second system, and the method comprises: detecting, in a first operation mode or in a second operation mode, a working mode state of the first system ( 202 ); and in response to a change in the working mode state of the first system, adjusting a working mode state of the second system to be the same as the working mode state of the first system. In the first operation mode, the first system and the second system are both in operation, and only the first system performs interface display. In the second operation mode, the first system and the second system are both running, and either the first system or the second system performs the interface display ( 204 ).

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A dual-system state synchronization method performed by an electronic device, the electronic device being capable of running a first system and a second system, the method comprising:
detecting, in a first operation mode or in a second operation mode, a working mode state of the first system; and adjusting, in response to a change in the working mode state of the first system, a working mode state of the second system to be the same as that of the first system; wherein in the first operation mode, both the first system and the second system are in operation, and an interface display is only performed by the first system; and in the second operation mode, both the first system and the second system are in operation, and the interface display is performed by either the first system or the second system.

2 . The method as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:
detecting, in the second operation mode, the working mode state of the first system and the working mode state of the second system, respectively; determining, in response to the change in the working mode state of the first system, a first timestamp when the working mode state of the first system is changed; determining, in response to a change in the working mode state of the second system, a second timestamp when the working mode state of the second system is changed; and synchronizing, based on the first timestamp and the second timestamp, working mode states of the first system and the second system.

3 . The method as claimed in claim 2 , wherein
the synchronizing, based on the first timestamp and the second timestamp, the working mode states of the first system and the second system comprises: adjusting the working mode state of a system corresponding to an earlier timestamp among the first timestamp and the second timestamp, to be the same as a working mode state of another system corresponding to a later timestamp among the first timestamp and the second timestamp.

4 . The method as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:
detecting, in a third operation mode, the working mode state of the second system; wherein in the third operation mode, only the second system is in operation; and recording, in response to a change in the working mode state of the second system, corresponding associated state data; wherein the associated state data comprises a changed working mode state; wherein the associated state data is configured to indicate adjusting the working mode state of the first system to be the same as the changed working mode state.

5 . The method as claimed in claim 4 , further comprising:
sending, in response to switching from the third operation mode to the first operation mode or to the second operation mode, the associated state data to the first system; and adjusting the working mode state of the first system to be the same as the changed working mode state of the second system.

6 . The method as claimed in claim 5 , wherein
the associated state data further comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of a first state of a vibration mode, a first state of a silent mode, and a first screen brightness after a state change; the method further comprises: adjusting, in response to the associated state data comprising the first screen brightness, a screen brightness corresponding to the first system to the first screen brightness; adjusting, in response to the associated state data comprising the first state of the silent mode, a silent mode state of the first system to the first state of the silent mode; and adjusting, in response to the associated state data comprising the first state of the vibration mode, a vibration mode state of the first system to the first state of the vibration mode.

7 . The method as claimed in claim 5 , wherein
the associated state data further comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of a second state of a vibration mode, a second state of a silent mode, and a second screen brightness before a state change; in response to the working mode state entering a disabled state, the method further comprises: adjusting, in response to the associated state data comprising the second screen brightness, screen brightness of the first system and the second system to the second screen brightness; adjusting, in response to the associated state data comprising the second state of the silent mode, silent mode states of the first system and the second system to the second state of the silent mode; and adjusting, in response to the associated state data comprising the second state of the vibration mode, vibration mode states of the first system and the second system to the second state of the vibration mode.

8 . The method as claimed in claim 5 , wherein
a power consumption of the first operation mode is greater than that of the second operation mode, and a power consumption of the second operation mode is greater than that of the third operation mode.

9 . The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein
the electronic device comprises a first processor corresponding to the first system and a second processor corresponding to the second system, the first processor is a core processor.

10 . An electronic device, being capable of running a first system and a second system, comprising a memory and a processor, and the memory storing a computer program, wherein
when the processor executes the computer program, the processor is enabled to implement operations of a dual-system state synchronization method, the method comprises: detecting, in a first operation mode or in a second operation mode, a working mode state of the first system; and adjusting, in response to a change in the working mode state of the first system, a working mode state of the second system to be the same as that of the first system; wherein in the first operation mode, both the first system and the second system are in operation, and an interface display is only performed by the first system; and in the second operation mode, both the first system and the second system are in operation, and the interface display is performed by either the first system or the second system.

11 . The electronic device as claimed in claim 10 , wherein
the method further comprises: detecting, in the second operation mode, the working mode state of the first system and the working mode state of the second system, respectively; determining, in response to the change in the working mode state of the first system, a first timestamp when the working mode state of the first system is changed; determining, in response to a change in the working mode state of the second system, a second timestamp when the working mode state of the second system is changed; and synchronizing, based on the first timestamp and the second timestamp, working mode states of the first system and the second system.
