All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
First embodiment
Fig. 1 is a flowchart of a method for controlling a voice coil motor of a mobile terminal according to a first embodiment of the present invention, including the following steps:
step 101: and detecting whether the mobile terminal is switched to a pre-photographing state.
In thisstep 101, the switching of the mobile terminal to the pre-photographing state may be that an application related to the camera is started, and enters a photographing preview interface, and the mobile terminal is switched from the original non-photographing state to the pre-photographing state. The non-photographing state may be a standby state, may also be a state in which a part of applications are running, and may also be a state in which other cameras are not turned on and do not enter a photographing preview interface.
Step 102: and if the mobile terminal is switched to the pre-photographing state, judging whether the mobile terminal is in an unused state.
The unused state instep 102 is a state in which the user does not use the mobile terminal for operation. Specifically, the unused state may be that an object exists within a preset distance range facing the touch screen of the mobile terminal, for example, a shield exists within a preset distance in front of the mobile terminal, or the ambient light intensity within the preset distance range of the camera of the mobile terminal is smaller than a preset intensity, for example, the camera is shielded, or the mobile terminal has a preset acceleration or displacement in a preset direction, for example, the mobile terminal generates a large amplitude shake. These states may be detected by a distance sensor, a camera photosensitive element, an acceleration sensor, or the like of the mobile terminal, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited herein.
Step 103: and if the mobile terminal is not in use, adjusting the driving current of a voice coil motor of the mobile terminal to enable the voice coil motor to return to the position where the voice coil motor is located before the voice coil motor is switched to the pre-photographing state.
Instep 103, the driving current of the voice coil motor may be adjusted by directly turning off the driving so as to make the driving current value zero, that is, powering off the voice coil motor, or reducing the driving current to a preset current value, or adjusting the magnitude of the driving current, which is not limited herein.
It should be noted that the position of the voice coil motor before the voice coil motor is switched to the pre-photographing state, specifically, the original position of the voice coil motor when the camera of the mobile terminal is in the non-photographing state, where the non-photographing state may be a standby state, a state in which a part of applications are running, or a state in which other cameras are not turned on and do not enter the photographing preview interface, which is not limited herein in the embodiments of the present invention.
According to the embodiment of the invention, the driving current of the voice coil motor is adjusted when the camera of the mobile terminal is started but not used, so that the problem of power consumption increase caused by continuous automatic focusing of the voice coil motor when the camera is not started yet for taking a picture is solved, the energy consumption of the mobile terminal is reduced, and the standby time is prolonged.
Second embodiment
Fig. 2 is a flowchart of a control method for implementing a voice coil motor of a mobile terminal according to a second embodiment of the present invention, including the following steps:
step 201: and detecting whether the mobile terminal is switched to a pre-photographing state.
In thisstep 201, the mobile terminal is switched to the pre-photographing state, specifically, the application related to the camera is started, and enters a photographing preview interface, and the mobile terminal is switched from the original non-photographing state to the pre-photographing state. The non-photographing state may be a standby state, a state in which a part of applications are running, or a state in which other cameras are not turned on and do not enter a photographing preview interface, which is not limited herein. Specifically, whether the mobile terminal starts the camera or not can be judged by detecting whether the power supply of the control chip related to the camera is switched on or not, or whether the mobile terminal enters a shooting preview interface or not can be judged by identifying that the camera of the mobile terminal obtains a surrounding environment image and displays the surrounding environment image on the interface. For example, when the mobile terminal detects that the camera control chip is powered on or the touch screen interface of the mobile terminal displays an image of the surrounding environment acquired by the camera, it may be considered that the mobile terminal is switched to a pre-photographing state.
Step 202: and if the mobile terminal is switched to the pre-photographing state, judging whether the mobile terminal is in an unused state.
In the unused state instep 202, an object exists within a preset distance facing the touch screen of the mobile terminal, or the ambient light intensity within a preset distance range of the camera of the mobile terminal is smaller than a preset intensity, or the mobile terminal has a preset acceleration or displacement in a preset direction.
The unused state of the mobile terminal may be that an object exists within a preset distance of a touch screen facing the mobile terminal, that is, the mobile terminal is in a situation where the touch screen is blocked, for example, the mobile terminal is placed in a pocket by a user, the touch screen is turned upside down on a desktop, and the like, so that detection of whether an object exists in a direction facing the touch screen of the mobile terminal can be performed, if the object is blocked, the distance between the object and the touch screen of the mobile terminal is further obtained, and whether the distance is smaller than the preset distance is determined, and if the distance is smaller than the preset distance, the mobile terminal is in the unused state.
Specifically, whether an object exists within a preset distance facing a touch screen of the mobile terminal may be determined using a distance sensor. The distance sensor may be an inductive distance sensor, an ultrasonic distance sensor, a photoelectric distance sensor, etc., and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited herein.
The unused state of the mobile terminal can also be that the ambient light intensity within the preset distance range of the mobile terminal camera is less than the preset intensity, that is, the camera is shielded, for example, the mobile terminal touch screen is placed on a desktop upwards or downwards, so that whether the detection of the shielded light is performed on the rear-mounted or front-mounted camera respectively, and whether the ambient light intensity around the rear-mounted or front-mounted camera is less than the preset intensity is judged.
Specifically, the ambient light intensity around the camera can be detected by using the photosensitive element of the camera or the image quality of the photo preview interface. If the light sensing element is utilized, the ambient light intensity is obtained by detecting the light incoming quantity of the light sensing element, whether the current ambient light intensity is smaller than the preset intensity or not is further judged, and if the current ambient light intensity is smaller than the preset intensity, the mobile terminal is in an unused state; if the photographing preview interface is utilized, whether the current ambient light intensity is smaller than the preset intensity or not can be judged by calculating the average brightness value of the current ambient image displayed in the photographing preview interface and comparing the average brightness value with the image average brightness value corresponding to the preset intensity value, and if the current ambient light intensity is smaller than the preset intensity, the mobile terminal is in an unused state.
The unused state of the mobile terminal may also be a situation where the mobile terminal has a preset acceleration or displacement in a preset direction, that is, is in motion, such as when the user walks, the mobile terminal is held in a hand, and the mobile terminal is placed in a bag to shake. It is noted that the situation in motion herein does not include motion in which the mobile terminal is relatively stationary with respect to the environment, such as a user using a cell phone while in a vehicle, using a cell phone while walking, etc.
Specifically, the acceleration sensor may be used to determine whether the mobile terminal has a preset acceleration or displacement in a preset direction. Acquiring the motion acceleration and the displacement of the mobile terminal through an acceleration sensor, judging whether the mobile terminal shakes according to the change of the motion acceleration and the displacement, and if the motion acceleration of the mobile terminal is smaller than a preset acceleration value or the displacement value of the mobile terminal is smaller than a preset displacement value, determining that the mobile terminal does not shake; and if the motion acceleration of the mobile terminal is greater than or equal to the preset acceleration value and the displacement value of the mobile terminal is greater than or equal to the preset displacement value, the mobile terminal is considered to shake, and the mobile terminal is judged to be in an unused state.
Step 203: and if the mobile terminal is in an unused state, powering off a voice coil motor of the mobile terminal, and returning the voice coil motor to the position where the voice coil motor is located before the voice coil motor is switched to the pre-photographing state.
Specifically, the voice coil motor is powered off, that is, the driving current of the voice coil motor is set to zero, and the voice coil motor automatically returns to the position where it was before the pre-photographing state was switched to due to the loss of the force generated by the driving current.
Before the mobile terminal is switched to the pre-photographing state, the position of the voice coil motor is the initial position of the voice coil motor when the power is not on. For example, when the voice coil motor is a mid-type motor, the initial position is a neutral position; when the voice coil motor is a conventional motor, the initial position is the lowermost position.
Instep 203, the voice coil motor is powered off when the mobile terminal is not in use, so that meaningless power consumption caused by continuous automatic focusing of the voice coil motor when the camera does not take a picture is effectively prevented.
Optionally, after the voice coil motor of the mobile terminal is powered off and the voice coil motor returns to the position where the voice coil motor is located before the voice coil motor is switched to the pre-photographing state, whether the mobile terminal is in the use state is continuously judged, where the use state may be that no object exists within a preset distance facing the touch screen of the mobile terminal, the intensity of ambient light within a preset distance range of the camera of the mobile terminal is greater than or equal to the preset intensity, and the mobile terminal does not have the preset acceleration or displacement in the preset direction. The use state of the embodiment of the invention refers to the state that the user operates the mobile terminal.
And if the mobile terminal is in a use state, the voice coil motor is electrified again, so that the position of the voice coil motor moves according to a photographing scene, and an automatic focusing function is realized.
According to the embodiment of the invention, the voice coil motor is powered off when the camera of the mobile terminal is detected to be opened but not used, so that the problem of power consumption increase caused by continuous automatic focusing of the voice coil motor when the camera is not opened and the camera is not used for taking a picture is solved, the energy consumption of the mobile terminal is reduced, and the standby time is prolonged.
Third embodiment
Fig. 3 is a flowchart of a control method for implementing a voice coil motor of a mobile terminal according to a third embodiment of the present invention, which is different from the second embodiment in that the voice coil motor is powered off, and the third embodiment mainly adjusts the driving current of the voice coil motor to a preset value.
The control method of the voice coil motor of the third embodiment includes the steps of:
step 301: and detecting whether the mobile terminal is switched to a pre-photographing state.
Instep 301, the detection method is the same as that instep 201 in the second embodiment of the present invention, and is not described herein again.
Step 302: and when the mobile terminal is detected to be switched to a pre-photographing state, judging whether the mobile terminal is in an unused state.
In thisstep 302, the unused state is that an object exists within a preset distance facing the touch screen of the mobile terminal, or the intensity of ambient light within a preset distance range of the camera of the mobile terminal is smaller than a preset intensity, or the mobile terminal has a preset acceleration or displacement in a preset direction. The specific method for determining whether the device is in an unused state is the same as the method for determining instep 202 in the second embodiment, and is not described herein again.
Step 303: and if the mobile terminal is not in use, adjusting the driving current of the voice coil motor of the mobile terminal to a preset current value, and enabling the voice coil motor to return to the position where the voice coil motor is located before the voice coil motor is switched to the pre-photographing state.
Specifically, when the mobile terminal determines that the mobile terminal is in an unused state, the driving current of the voice coil motor is adjusted to a preset current value, and the voice coil motor returns to the position where the voice coil motor was located before being switched to the pre-photographing state according to the driving of the preset current. Before the mobile terminal is switched to the pre-photographing state, the position of the voice coil motor is the initial position of the voice coil motor when the power is not on. For example, when the voice coil motor is a mid-type motor, the initial position is a neutral position; when the voice coil motor is a conventional motor, the initial position is the lowermost position.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the preset current value is set in relation to the starting current of the voice coil motor. Since the auto-focusing is suspended in order to return or maintain the voice coil motor to the initial position where the voice coil motor is located when not energized, the preset current value is smaller than the start current of the voice coil motor. For example, if the starting current of the voice coil motor used by the mobile terminal is 15mA, the preset current value may be 10mA, or may also be 5mA, or may be any other value smaller than 15mA and larger than 0, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited herein.
In thisstep 303, by adjusting the driving current of the voice coil motor to a smaller preset value, the power consumption caused by auto-focusing of the mobile terminal in an unused state is reduced, and the voice coil motor is kept in a powered-on state, that is, the driving current of the voice coil motor is kept at the preset current value, and the voice coil motor does not need to be powered on again when the auto-focusing is resumed, so that the control efficiency of photographing is improved.
Step 304: judging whether the mobile terminal is in a use state or not; and if the mobile terminal is in the use state, adjusting the driving current of the voice coil motor according to the preset current value, so that the position of the voice coil motor moves according to a photographing scene.
Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, the use state may be that no object exists within a preset distance facing the touch screen of the mobile terminal, the ambient light intensity of the preset distance range of the camera of the mobile terminal is greater than or equal to a preset intensity, and the mobile terminal does not have the preset acceleration or displacement in the preset direction.
Specifically, the principle of determining whether the mobile terminal is in a use state is similar to the principle of determining whether the mobile terminal is in an unused state instep 302 of the embodiment of the present invention, and when the mobile terminal is in a use state, the driving current is increased on the basis of the original driving current, instead of being powered on again in a power-off situation, so that the voice coil motor reaches the start condition, and changes the position along with the change of the photographing scene, thereby achieving the recovery of the auto-focusing function.
Optionally, another implementation manner of the embodiment of the present invention is shown in fig. 4, and step 303 includes, after step 404: and if the time that the mobile terminal is in the unused state is more than a time threshold, powering off the voice coil motor.
Specifically, the time that the mobile terminal is in the non-use state may be obtained by a timer, and the obtained time is compared with a preset time threshold, and when the time that the mobile terminal is in the non-use state is greater than the time threshold, the driving current of the voice coil motor is turned off.
Therefore, the problem that the electric quantity is still consumed due to the fact that the voice coil motor is powered on all the time when the mobile terminal is in an unused state for a long time is solved, energy consumption is further reduced, and the standby time of the mobile terminal is prolonged.
According to the embodiment of the invention, when the state that the camera of the mobile terminal is started but not used is detected, the driving current of the voice coil motor is adjusted to a preset current value, so that the problem that the delay is large when the automatic focusing of the voice coil motor is closed again of the mobile terminal is solved, the energy consumption of the mobile terminal is reduced, and the use efficiency and the user experience of the mobile terminal are improved.

Specifically, there are two ways:

The adjustingmodule 503 is further configured to, when the determiningmodule 502 determines that the mobile terminal 500 is in the use state, adjust the driving current of the voice coil motor of the mobile terminal 500 according to the preset current value, so that the position of the voice coil motor moves according to a photographing scene.
Optionally, the adjustingmodule 503 is further configured to, after adjusting the driving current of the voice coil motor to a preset current value and returning the voice coil motor to the position before the voice coil motor is switched to the pre-photographing state, power off the voice coil motor if the time that the mobile terminal 500 is in the unused state is greater than a time threshold.
