Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for managing near field communications during a low power management mode of an electronic device are provided that may make credentials of a near field communication (“NFC”) component appropriately secure and appropriately accessible while also limiting the power consumption of the NFC component and of other components of the electronic device.

Smart sensor methods and systems are described that improve on prior systems. An example device includes a sensor, a memory, a network connection, and two processing units, wherein a first processing unit compares current data provided by the first sensor to the reference data previously provided by the first sensor. Based on the result of the comparison, a second processing unit may be enabled to process the current data, or may be disabled to prevent the second processing unit from processing the current data.

A method of management of a communication device in an aircraft may include transitioning the communication device from a normal mode to a disabled mode based on a calculated device sleep time based on data associated with transportation information of the device. One of these modes may be a state of the device in which a transceiver of the device is deactivated and the other mode may be a state of the device in which the transceiver is activated. Therefore, the device sleep time determines when the wireless device's transceiver may not be activated.

A WIFI device and an operating method and device of WIFI chips in a WIFI device are provided. In the operating method, an instruction indicating selection of an operation mode of a first WIFI chip and a second WIFI chip in a WIFI device is received (S202); the first WIFI chip is triggered to operate on a first frequency band and the second WIFI chip is triggered to operate on a second frequency band when the operation mode indicated by the instruction is a first mode (S204). The first WIFI chip supports the first frequency band and the second frequency band, and the second WIFI chip supports the second frequency band.

The present invention provides a terminal control method and a terminal, and relates to the field of electronic devices. The method includes when a magnetic field sensed by a Hall device of a terminal in a standby state is less than or equal to a first preset threshold, activating a sensor of the terminal, where the Hall device is configured to sense a magnetic field generated by a magnet in a protective case of the terminal.
