Abstract

The present invention provides a method and an apparatus for wake-up control of an intelligent terminal. At least two alarm set indications are sent by one or more applications of the intelligent terminal. The alarm set indication is used to indicate a first alarm wake-up time determined by the application for waking up the intelligent terminal. At least two of the at least two first alarm wake-up times corresponding to the at least two alarm set indications are delayed until a second alarm wake-up time. The second alarm wake-up time is determined according to preset adjustment control information. The intelligent terminal is welcome at the second alarm wake-up time.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method of waking up a terminal, the method comprising:
receiving at least three indications sent from at least three software applications of the terminal, each indication of the at least three indications being determined by one of the at least three software applications and being used to indicate a time for waking up the terminal to connect a network server;
determining a first time for waking up the terminal to connect a first network server, the first time being indicated by a first indication of the at least three indications, the first indication being received before the first time, the first time being associated with a first delay;
determining a second time for waking up the terminal to connect a second network server, the second time being indicated by a second indication of the at least three indications, the second indication being received before the second time, the second time being associated with a second delay;
determining a third time for waking up the terminal to connect a third network server, the third time being indicated by a third indication of the at least three indications, the third indication being received before the third time, the third time being associated with a third delay; and
in a case that the third time is equal to or larger than each of the first time and the second time, a difference between the third time and the first time is less than or equal to the first delay, and a difference between the third time and the second time is less than or equal to the second delay, waking up the terminal in accordance with the third time to connect the first network server, the second network server and the third network server.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the at least three indications is used to indicate a repetitive time for periodically waking up the terminal to connect a network server.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first delay is an acceptable delay by a first software application of the at least three software applications, the first indication being sent by the first software application.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second delay is an acceptable delay by a second software application of the at least three software applications, the second indication being sent by the second software application.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the terminal is in a dormant state before the terminal is woken up.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the at least three indications is periodically sent from one of the at least three software applications of the terminal.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
in the case that the third time is equal to or larger than each of the first time and the second time, the difference between the third time and the first time is less than or equal to the first delay, and the difference between the third time and the second time is less than or equal to the second delay, the terminal is not woken up in accordance with the first time to connect the first network server and the terminal is not woken up in accordance with the second time to connect the second network server.

8. A terminal comprising at least one processor and a non-transitory computer readable medium coupled to the at least one processor and storing computer-executable code which, when executed, instructs the at least one processor to perform the following:
receiving at least three indications sent from at least three software applications of the terminal, each indication of the at least three indications being determined by one of the at least three software applications and being used to indicate a time for waking up the terminal to connect a network server;
determining a first time for waking up the terminal to connect a first network server, the first time being indicated by a first indication of the at least three indications, the first indication being received before the first time, the first time being associated with a first delay;
determining a second time for waking up the terminal to connect a second network server, the second time being indicated by a second indication of the at least three indications, the second indication being received before the second time, the second time being associated with a second delay;
determining a third time for waking up the terminal to connect a third network server, the third time being indicated by a third indication of the at least three indications, the third indication being received before the third time, the third time being associated with a third delay; and
in a case that the third time is equal to or larger than each of the first time and the second time, a difference between the third time and the first time is less than or equal to the first delay, and a difference between the third time and the second time is less than or equal to the second delay, waking up the terminal in accordance with the third time to connect the first network server, the second network server and the third network server.

9. The terminal according to claim 8 , wherein at least one of the at least three indications is used to indicate a repetitive time for periodically waking up the terminal to connect a network server.

10. The terminal according to claim 8 , wherein the first delay is an acceptable delay by a first software application of the at least three software applications, the first indication being sent by the first software application.

11. The terminal according to claim 8 , wherein the second delay is an acceptable delay by a second software application of the at least three software applications, the second indication being sent by the second software application.

12. The terminal according to claim 8 , wherein the terminal is in a dormant state before the terminal is woken up.

13. The terminal according to claim 8 , at least one of the at least three indications is periodically sent from one of the at least three software applications of the terminal.

14. A terminal, comprising an RF circuit, a computer readable storage medium, and a processor, the processor being configured to execute a software program stored in the computer readable storage medium to perform the following:
receiving at least three indications sent from at least three software applications of the terminal, each indication of the at least three indications being determined by one of the at least three software applications and being used to indicate a time for waking up the terminal to connect a network server through the RF circuit;
determining a first time for waking up the terminal to connect a first network server, the first time being indicated by a first indication of the at least three indications, the first indication being received before the first time, the first time being associated with a first delay;
determining a second time for waking up the terminal to connect a second network server, the second time being indicated by a second indication of the at least three indications, the second indication being received before the second time, the second time being associated with a second delay;
determining a third time for waking up the terminal to connect a third network server, the third time being indicated by a third indication of the at least three indications, the third indication being received before the third time, the third time being associated with a third delay; and
in a case that the third time is equal to or larger than each of the first time and the second time, a difference between the third time and the first time is less than or equal to the first delay, and a difference between the thir
