Abstract
A control method for an electronic device includes responding to a received first signal and sending a first trigger instruction when a first processor is in a first mode and responding to the received first signal and sending the first trigger instruction and a second trigger instruction when the first processor is in a second mode. The first rigger instruction is used to trigger a first event in an operating system. The second trigger instruction is used to trigger a second event in the operating system.
Claims12
A control method for an electronic device comprising:
- in response to a received first signal, sending a first trigger instruction when a first processor is in a first mode, the first trigger instruction being used to trigger a first event in an operating system, the first processor being implemented as an embedded controller (EC) that is distinct from a second processor that executes the operating system, the first event in the operating system comprising a mode event responded to by a target application in the operating system executed by the second processor;
- and
- in response to the received first signal, sending the first trigger instruction and a second trigger instruction when the first processor is in a second mode, the second trigger instruction being used to trigger a second event in the operating system, the second event corresponding to the received first signal and being configured independently of the target application.
A control method for an electronic device comprising:
- performing a first configuration operation by a target application in an operating system to cause a first processor to switch between a first mode and a second mode, the first processor being implemented as an embedded controller (EC) that is distinct from a second processor that executes the operating system;
- wherein:
- in the first mode, the first processor responds to a received first signal and sends a first trigger instruction, the first trigger instruction is used to trigger a first event in an operating system, and the first event in the operating system comprises a mode event responded to by the target application in the operating system executed by the second processor;
- and
- in the second mode, the first processor responds to the received first signal and sends the first trigger instruction and a second trigger instruction, the second trigger instruction is used to trigger a second event in the operating system, and the second event corresponds to the received first signal and is independent of the target application.
A control apparatus deployed with a first processor of an electronic device comprising:
- a first trigger module configured to respond to a received first signal and send a first trigger instruction when the first processor is in a first mode, the first trigger instruction being used to trigger a first event in an operating system, the first processor being implemented as an embedded controller (EC) that is distinct from a second processor that executes the operating system, the first event in the operating system comprising a mode event responded to by a target application in the operating system executed by the second processor;
- and
- a second trigger module configured to respond to the received first signal and send the first trigger instruction and a second trigger instruction when the first processor is in a second mode, the second trigger instruction being used to trigger a second event in the operating system, the second event corresponding to the received first signal and being configured independently of the target application.
