An electronic device and method for entering an inactive mode, the electronic device including a display; and one or more processors. The processors may implement the method, which includes detecting an input to the electronic device indicating deactivation of a display of the electronic device or entrance into an inactive mode, detecting whether one or more objects executing one the one or more processors force the one or more processors to remain in an active mode, and when the one or more objects are detected, retrieving information on the one or more objects and display on the display the retrieved information.

A method of efficient pocket detection is proposed. A wireless device determines whether it is in a transition state by using a plurality of low power-consuming sensors. The wireless device powers on a high power-consuming sensor if the device is in the transition state, or otherwise keeps the high power-consuming sensor off if the device is not in the transition state. The wireless device detects a current pocket mode of the device using the high power-consuming sensor if the device is in the transition state, or otherwise keeps a previous pocket mode if the device is not in the transition state.

The present disclosure relates to an odor generator device based on an intelligent mobile terminal, including: a communication module configured to establish a communication connection with the intelligent mobile terminal and acquire electronized odor information from the intelligent mobile terminal; a data processing chip connected to the communication module to parse the received electronized odor information and generate a corresponding odor generating instruction according to decoded data; and an odor generator connected to the data processing chip to generate a corresponding odor according to the odor generating instruction and emit the odor. The present disclosure further provides an odor generating method based on an intelligent mobile terminal, comprising: an electronized odor information acquisition step, an electronized odor information parsing step, and an odor restoring step.

A method and system for energy savings with silent haptics is presented. A haptically-enabled device includes a processor that executes a haptic track containing haptic instructions. The haptic track is analyzed to determine the presence of a zero-force interval, also known as a silent haptic. The duration of the zero-force interval is determined, and if the duration exceeds a pre-determined threshold, then the system or method enters an energy savings mode. An overhead time associated with the terminating of the energy savings mode is determined. And, the energy savings mode is terminated at the conclusion of the zero-force interval less the overhead time.

A near field communications (NFC) device is disclosed that intelligently routes NFC data from a NFC device between multiple user interfaces based upon a power level of its internal batteries. The communications device utilizes a communications device user interface to send and/or receive the NFC data from the NFC device when its internal batteries are sufficient to operate the communications device user interface. The communications device begins to route some of this NFC data from being sent and/or received by the communications device user interface to a NFC user interface as its internal batteries deplete. Eventually, all of the NFC data will be sent to and/or received by the NFC user interface as the internal batteries of the communications device become so depleted that they are unable to reliably operate the communications device user interface.

The present disclosure is to provide an electronic device, a control method and a program, which execute control so as not to cause wasteful electric power consumption, by suppressing functions under a certain condition, in a state where the electronic device is connected to an external device by using an external interface. The electronic device is provided with: an external interface connected to an external device; a notification unit; and a control unit; when incoming communication is received in a state where the external interface is connected to the external device, the control unit suppresses notification by the notification unit, transmits a signal indicating receipt of the incoming communication to the external device via the external interface, and controls the external device to perform notification of the incoming communication.

A mobile terminal and controlling method thereof are disclosed, by which a touch sensitivity of a display unit can be improved. The present invention includes a display unit, a touch sensor configured to detect a touch input applied to the display unit by periodically waking up while the display unit is turned off, and a controller, if a preset user input is received, controlling a wakeup period of the touch sensor distributed in at least one partial region of the display unit to be decreased.

A system information updating method, a user equipment and a base station are provided, the method including: receiving, by the wake-up radio (WUR) interface of the user equipment, a wake-up signal sent by the base station, where the wake-up signal is used to wake up a main radio interface of the user equipment and instruct the main radio interface of the user equipment to receive updated system information, the wake-up signal includes system information (SI) update transmission control information, and the SI update transmission control information includes information required for receiving the updated system information; waking up, by the WUR interface of the user equipment, the main radio interface of the user equipment; and receiving, by the user equipment according to the SI update transmission control information through the woken-up main radio interface, the updated system information sent by the base station.

Embodiments relate to a message processing method and apparatus. A first message is received that is sent by a first device to a second device. A determination is made as to whether the first message is a privacy message. When the first message is a privacy message, a second message is generated according to the first message, where the second message carries a first privacy label. The second message is sent to the second device, so that the second device displays a notification of the second message on a notification screen according to the first privacy label after receiving the second message. After receiving the second message, the second device displays the second message according to whether the second message carries the first privacy label.

Described are a method and apparatus for controlling the power consumption of a terminal, and a storage medium. The method includes: recording the number of times a connection between a terminal and an auxiliary cell group fails, and where the number of times is greater than a preset threshold value, controlling, on the basis of a power consumption adjustment policy, the terminal to disable a dual-connection mode, wherein the terminal can support the dual-connection mode, and in the dual-connection mode, the terminal communicates with both a first base station and a second base station, the second base station being an auxiliary base station, and the auxiliary cell group being a group of serving cells associated with the auxiliary base station.
