The present application relates to the field of data processing technologies, and in particular, to a data processing method, an electronic device, a storage medium, and a chip.

The virtual gyroscope (virtual gyroscope) in the electronic device is a virtual sensor fused by Acceleration (ACC) data and geomagnetic (MAG) data through a gesture estimation algorithm. The virtual gyroscope realized through the algorithm does not need to increase the hardware cost of the electronic equipment, so that the virtual gyroscope is widely applied to various application scenes such as games, navigation, flight simulation, virtual reality and the like of the electronic equipment. However, the virtual gyroscope realized based on the algorithm in the traditional technology has the problem of poor data processing capability, so that the user experience is poor.

Therefore, how to improve the data processing capability is a problem that needs to be solved.

Disclosure of Invention

The application provides a data processing method, electronic equipment, a storage medium and a chip, which can improve the data processing performance and improve the user experience.

In a first aspect, a data processing method is provided, applied to an electronic device including an acceleration sensor, an acceleration sensor driver, and a virtual gyroscope driver, where the acceleration sensor driver is configured to report acceleration data reported by the acceleration sensor to the virtual gyroscope driver, and the virtual gyroscope driver is configured to generate angular velocity data based on the acceleration data reported by the acceleration sensor driver, the method includes: setting a parameter value of a first parameter of the acceleration sensor as a first numerical value under the condition that a first application in the electronic equipment drives the subscription angular velocity data to the virtual gyroscope, wherein the parameter value of the first parameter represents the data quantity of acceleration data which is sent to the acceleration sensor every time by the acceleration sensor, and the first numerical value is the data quantity of acceleration data which is acquired every time by the acceleration sensor; or setting the parameter value of the first parameter to a second value under the condition that the first application drives the virtual gyroscope to unsubscribe from the angular velocity data, wherein the second value is larger than the first value.

The first application subscribes angular velocity data to the virtual gyroscope drive, namely the first application needs to acquire the angular velocity data output by the virtual gyroscope. The first application does not need to acquire angular velocity data output by the virtual gyroscope.

Angular velocity data may refer to angle data including heading, pitch and roll angles.

After the electronic device sets the parameter value of the first parameter of the acceleration sensor to the first value, that is, the acceleration data of which the data amount is the first value collected by the acceleration sensor is directly reported to the acceleration sensor for driving.

In the above technical solution, when the first application of the electronic device subscribes to the angular velocity data to the virtual gyroscope driver of the electronic device, the electronic device sets the data amount of the acceleration data (i.e., the parameter value of the first parameter) sent by the acceleration sensor to the acceleration sensor driver each time, which is the same as the data amount of the acceleration data (i.e., the first value) acquired by the acceleration sensor each time, i.e., the acceleration sensor can report the acceleration data with the acquired data amount being the first value to the acceleration sensor driver in real time, so that the timeliness of the acceleration data transmission can be improved. Then, under the condition that the acceleration sensor drives to transmit acceleration data reported from the acceleration sensor to the virtual gyroscope in real time, the virtual gyroscope can obtain angular velocity data based on the acceleration data, so that timeliness of the angular velocity data of the virtual gyroscope can be improved, and user experience is improved. In addition, when the first application unsubscribes angular velocity data from the virtual gyroscope, the electronic device sets the data amount (i.e. the parameter value of the first parameter) of the acceleration data sent by the acceleration sensor to the acceleration sensor drive each time, which is larger than the data amount (i.e. the first value) of the acceleration data collected by the acceleration sensor each time, namely the acceleration sensor caches the acceleration data with the collected data amount smaller than the second value, until the data amount of the acceleration data cached by the acceleration sensor is the second value, the acceleration sensor can report the acceleration data with the data amount of the second value to the acceleration sensor drive, so that the energy consumption of data transmission can be reduced. In summary, the data processing method provided by the application can improve the data processing performance (timeliness of data transmission or reduce the energy consumption of data transmission) so as to improve the user experience.

In one possible implementation, in a case where the first application in the electronic device drives the subscription angular velocity data to the virtual gyroscope, setting a parameter value of the first parameter of the acceleration sensor to a first numerical value includes: in the case where the first application drives the subscription angular velocity data to the virtual gyroscope and determines that the parameter value of the first parameter is not the first numerical value, the parameter value of the first parameter is set to the first numerical value.

For example, the first application in the above implementation is an application in the electronic device that drives the subscription angular velocity data to the virtual gyroscope for the first time, i.e., no other application in the electronic device drives the subscription angular velocity data to the virtual gyroscope before the first application drives the subscription angular velocity data to the virtual gyroscope.

For example, the first application in the above implementation is an application in the electronic device that does not subscribe to the angular velocity data for the first time to the virtual gyroscope, and in this implementation, other applications in the electronic device subscribe to the angular velocity data for the virtual gyroscope before the first application subscribes to the angular velocity data for the virtual gyroscope, and then unsubscribe from the angular velocity data, so that the parameter value of the first parameter is not the first numerical value.

In the above technical solution, the electronic device may set the parameter value of the first parameter to the first value only when the first application drives the subscription angular velocity data to the virtual gyroscope and determines that the first parameter is not the first value. In other words, in the case that the first application drives the subscription angular velocity data to the virtual gyroscope and determines that the first parameter is not the first value, the electronic device does not perform the operation of setting the parameter value of the first parameter to the first value, so that the repeated execution of the operation of setting the value of the first parameter to the first value is avoided, which is beneficial to improving the data processing performance and reducing the energy consumption of the electronic device.

And then, the electronic equipment controls the acceleration sensor to report the acquired acceleration data with the data quantity of a first value to the acceleration sensor for driving, so that the timeliness of acceleration data transmission can be improved. And then, the acceleration sensor drives to transmit acceleration data reported by the acceleration sensor in real time to the virtual gyroscope, so that the timeliness of angular velocity data generated by the virtual gyroscope can be improved, and the user experience is improved.

It should be noted that, after receiving the first enabling message, the virtual gyroscope driver automatically triggers the virtual gyroscope driver to execute the following three operations: the method includes sending a second enable message to the acceleration sensor driver, registering acceleration data with the acceleration sensor driver, and registering magnetic data with the magnetic sensor driver.

The type of the magnetic sensor is not particularly limited, and for example, the magnetic sensor may be a geomagnetic sensor.

For example, the first application in the above implementation is an application in the electronic device that subscribes acceleration data to the acceleration sensor for the first time, that is, no other application in the electronic device subscribes acceleration data to the acceleration sensor before the first application subscribes acceleration data to the acceleration sensor.

For example, the first application in the above implementation is an application in the electronic device that subscribes to the acceleration sensor for the first time, and in this implementation, before the first application subscribes to the acceleration sensor for the acceleration data, other applications in the electronic device subscribe to the acceleration sensor for the acceleration data first and then unsubscribe from the acceleration data, so that the parameter value of the first parameter is not the first numerical value.

Detailed Description

The following description of the embodiments of the present application will be made clearly and fully with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which it is evident that the embodiments described are some, but not all embodiments of the application. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the application without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the application.

The terms first, second and the like in the description and in the claims and drawings are used for distinguishing between different objects and should not be construed as indicating or implying a relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a definition of "a first", "a second" feature may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features.

In embodiments of the application, words such as "exemplary" or "such as" are used to mean serving as an example, instance, or illustration. Any embodiment or design described herein as "exemplary" or "e.g." in an embodiment should not be taken as preferred or advantageous over other embodiments or designs. Rather, the use of words such as "exemplary" or "such as" is intended to present related concepts in a concrete fashion.

Gyroscopes (gyroscillopes) are one of the important sensors of electronic devices, such as cell phones or tablet computers. Real-time angular velocity of the electronic device can be obtained through the gyroscope, so that various functions such as Virtual Reality (VR) video, games (such as shooting games and racing games) and navigation positioning and the like in the electronic device are realized, wherein the functions depend on motion changes of the mobile terminal. In some application scenarios, the electronic device may not be able to use the physical gyroscope due to hardware limitations or other reasons, and at this time, the data of the gyroscope may be simulated using the virtual gyroscope. The virtual gyroscope is a virtual sensor fused by ACC data and MAG data through a gesture estimation algorithm. Because the virtual gyroscope realized by the algorithm does not need to increase hardware cost, the virtual gyroscope is widely applied to various application scenes such as games, navigation, flight simulation, virtual reality and the like of electronic equipment. For example, the virtual gyroscope can be used for scenes such as running, action games and the like in a mobile phone game, and a player can control the direction and action of a game character through the gesture of the mobile phone. In navigation application, the virtual gyroscope can realize smooth compass rotation effect and can realize functions of real-time marking, path tracking, positioning tracking, map navigation and the like. In a flight simulation scene, the virtual gyroscope can simulate a real flight attitude, so that a user can feel the pleasure of flight more vividly. In a virtual reality scene, the virtual gyroscope can realize gesture detection and dynamic presentation of equipment, so that a user can be more truly integrated into the virtual reality world.

Currently, data (i.e., angular velocity data) of a virtual gyroscope in an electronic device is obtained by fusing virtual gyroscope driving in the electronic device through an attitude estimation algorithm based on ACC data and MAG data. The geomagnetic sensor of the electronic equipment can transmit the collected MAG data to the virtual gyroscope in real time, namely, after the geomagnetic sensor collects MAG data with a certain data quantity, the collected MAG data with the certain data quantity is directly transmitted to the virtual gyroscope through the geomagnetic sensor driver. In order to reduce the power consumption of the electronic device, a first-in first-out (FIRST IN FIRST out) data buffer is arranged in an acceleration sensor of the electronic device, namely, the acceleration sensor firstly buffers the ACC data into the FIFO buffer in the acceleration sensor after collecting the ACC data, and when the FIFO buffer is full or the data buffered in the FIFO buffer reaches a software setting threshold, the acceleration sensor transmits all the ACC data buffered in the FIFO buffer to a virtual gyroscope for driving and processing so as to achieve the purpose of reducing the power consumption. Due to the fact that the FIFO buffer memory is arranged in the acceleration sensor, the timeliness of the acceleration sensor for transmitting collected ACC data to the virtual gyroscope is low, and therefore the timeliness of the data of the virtual gyroscope is reduced. In summary, the conventional technology has a problem of poor data processing capability, resulting in poor user experience.

Therefore, in order to solve the above-described problems. The application provides a data processing method, electronic equipment, a storage medium and a chip. The data processing method provided by the application is applied to electronic equipment comprising an acceleration sensor, an acceleration sensor driver and a virtual gyroscope driver, wherein the acceleration sensor driver is used for reporting acceleration data reported by the acceleration sensor to the virtual gyroscope driver, and the virtual gyroscope driver is used for generating angular velocity data based on the acceleration data, and comprises the following steps: on the one hand, when the first application of the electronic device subscribes to angular velocity data to the virtual gyroscope driver of the electronic device, the electronic device sets the data amount of the acceleration data (i.e. the parameter value of the first parameter) sent by the acceleration sensor to the acceleration sensor driver each time, which is the same as the data amount of the acceleration data (i.e. the first numerical value) collected by the acceleration sensor each time, i.e. the acceleration sensor can report the acceleration data with the collected data amount being the first numerical value to the acceleration sensor driver in real time, so that the timeliness of the acceleration data transmission can be improved. Then, under the condition that the acceleration sensor drives to transmit acceleration data reported from the acceleration sensor to the virtual gyroscope in real time, the virtual gyroscope can obtain angular velocity data based on the acceleration data, so that timeliness of the angular velocity data of the virtual gyroscope can be improved, and user experience is improved. On the other hand, when the first application unsubscribes angular velocity data from the virtual gyroscope, the electronic device sets the data amount (i.e. the parameter value of the first parameter) of the acceleration data sent by the acceleration sensor to the acceleration sensor drive each time, which is larger than the data amount (i.e. the first value) of the acceleration data collected by the acceleration sensor each time, namely, the acceleration sensor firstly caches the acceleration data with the collected data amount smaller than the second value until the data amount of the acceleration data cached by the acceleration sensor is the second value, and the acceleration sensor can report the acceleration data with the data amount being the second value to the acceleration sensor drive, so that the energy consumption of data transmission can be reduced. In summary, the data processing method provided by the application can improve the data processing performance (timeliness of data transmission or reduce the energy consumption of data transmission) so as to improve the user experience.

The data processing method provided by the embodiment of the application can be applied to electronic equipment.

It should be understood that the connection relationships between the modules shown in fig. 1 are only illustrative, and do not constitute a limitation on the connection relationships between the modules of the electronic device 100. Alternatively, the modules of the electronic device 100 may also use a combination of the various connection manners in the foregoing embodiments.

The software system of the above-described electronic device 100 is described below. The software system may employ a layered architecture, an event driven architecture, a microkernel architecture, a micro-service architecture, or a cloud architecture, and the embodiment of the present application exemplarily describes the software system of the electronic device 100.

Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of a software system of the electronic device 100 according to an embodiment of the present application. Referring to fig. 2, the software system employs a layered architecture. The layered architecture divides the software into several layers, each with distinct roles and branches. The layers communicate with each other through a software interface. In some embodiments, the Android systems are respectively an application layer 210, an application framework layer 220, an Android Runtime (Android run) and core library layer 230, a hardware abstraction layer (hardware abstract layer, HAL) 240 and a kernel layer 250 from top to bottom.

The application layer 210 may include a series of application packages. For example, the application packages may include applications for navigation, VR video, maps, calendars, gallery, talk, camera, bluetooth, etc. Each application in the application layer 210 may generate application data, such as VR video, for generating panoramic video data.

The application framework layer 220 provides an application programming interface (application programming interface, API) and programming framework for applications in the application layer 210. The application framework layer 220 includes a number of predefined functions.

The application framework layer 220 may include a sensor manager, an activity manager, an input manager, a resource manager, a notification manager, a view system, a content provider, and the like.

The sensor manager is a core component of the sensor framework of the Android system, is an entry for an application program (e.g., a navigation application, VR video application, or map application, etc.) to access sensor data, is responsible for managing all sensors on the electronic device 100, and provides APIs for the application program to access sensor data. In some implementations, the sensor manager may be understood as a separate thread.

Android Runtime (Android run) includes a core library and virtual machines. Android run is responsible for scheduling and management of the Android system.

The core library consists of two parts: some programming languages (such as java) require called function functions, and the other part is the core library of android.

The application layer 210 and the application framework layer 220 run in virtual machines. The virtual machine executes the programming files (e.g., java files) of the application layer 210 and the application framework layer 220 as binary files. The virtual machine is used for executing the functions of object life cycle management, stack management, thread management, security and exception management, garbage collection and the like.

The core library layer 230 may include a plurality of functional modules, which may be, but are not limited to, surface manager (surface manager), media frame (media frame), libc, SQLite, and the like. The surface manager is used to manage the display subsystem and provides a fusion of two-Dimensional (2D) and three-Dimensional (3D) layers for multiple applications. Media frames support a variety of commonly used audio, video format playback and recording, still image files, and the like. libc is a standard library of C language, libc is one of the lowest libraries in the system, and libc is implemented by a system call of Linux. For example, libc may be used to connect or disconnect camera services, set photographing parameters of a camera, start, stop previewing, take a photograph, etc.

The hardware abstraction layer (hardware abstraction layer, HAL) 240 is an interface layer between the operating system kernel and the upper software, the hardware abstraction layer 240 is used to abstract the hardware of the electronic device 100, providing a consistent interface for the upper software of the electronic device 100. As shown in FIG. 2, the hardware abstraction layer 240 includes a sensor module, also known as a hardware abstraction layer module for a sensor (i.e., sensorHAL). In some implementations, when the kernel layer 250 does not include the virtual gyroscope driver shown by the dashed line, and the shared memory stores angular velocity data generated by the virtual gyroscope driver, the sensor module obtains the angular velocity data stored in the shared memory by calling the shared memory interface, and provides the angular velocity data to the upper interface, so that the application program obtains the angular velocity data. In other implementations, when kernel layer 250 includes a virtual gyroscope drive, shown in phantom, the sensor module obtains angular velocity data transmitted by the virtual gyroscope drive by invoking the virtual gyroscope drive interface and providing the angular velocity data to the upper layer interface to cause the application to obtain the angular velocity data. Optionally, the hardware abstraction layer 240 may also include other modules, each of which implements an interface for a particular type of hardware component. For example, the other module may be, but is not limited to, a display module, which may provide an interface to access the display hardware components.

The kernel layer 250 is the basis of the Android operating system, and the final functions of the Android operating system are completed through the kernel layer. In some implementations, kernel layer 250 may include various communication interfaces (not shown in fig. 2) and shared memory shown in fig. 2 for caching data. In other implementations, the kernel layer 250 may also include at least one of the following sensor drivers, shown in phantom in FIG. 2: virtual gyroscope drive, acceleration sensor drive, magnetic sensor drive. The magnetic sensor drive is understood to be a drive program for the magnetic sensor, and the magnetic sensor is not particularly limited. For example, the magnetic sensor may be, but is not limited to, a geomagnetic sensor, in which case the magnetic sensor drive may be referred to as a geomagnetic sensor drive. Alternatively, kernel layer 250 may also include other drivers, such as, but not limited to, display drivers, camera drivers, audio drivers, and the like.

It should be noted that, the software structure schematic diagram of the electronic device 100 shown in fig. 2 provided by the present application is only used as an example, and is not limited to specific module division in different layers of the Android operating system, and the description of the software structure of the Android operating system in the conventional technology may be referred to specifically.

As shown in fig. 4, the application layer 210 run by the first processor 111 of the electronic device 100 includes a plurality of applications (i.e., navigation, VR video, and map), that is, the first processor 111 is configured to run the plurality of applications. The kernel layer 250 operated by the first processor 111 of the electronic device 100 includes three drivers, i.e., a virtual gyroscope driver, an acceleration sensor driver, and a magnetic sensor driver, in which the first processor 111 is configured to operate the three drivers. The first processor 111 and the second processor 112 in the electronic device 100 shown in fig. 4 may transmit data through a bus.

It will be appreciated that only a portion of the hardware architecture described above in fig. 1, namely the first processor 111 in the electronic device 100 shown in fig. 1, is shown in fig. 4. It should also be understood that the kernel layer 250 running in the first processor 111 shown in fig. 4 is different from the kernel layer 250 running in the first processor 111 shown in fig. 3, but the application layer 210, the application framework layer 220, the hardware abstraction layer 240 and the hardware running in the first processor 111 shown in fig. 4 are the same as the application layer 210, the application framework layer 220, the hardware abstraction layer 240 and the hardware running in the first processor 111 shown in fig. 3, respectively, and are not repeated here.

The first processor 111 of the electronic device 100 shown in fig. 5 operates a virtual gyroscope driver included in the kernel layer 250, i.e. the first processor 111 is also configured to operate a virtual gyroscope driver configured to acquire acceleration data from an acceleration sensor driver in the second processor 112 and to acquire magnetic data from a magnetic sensor driver. The second processor 112 of the electronic device 100 is configured to operate with an acceleration sensor driver for acquiring acceleration data reported by the acceleration sensor from the acceleration sensor, and a magnetic sensor driver for acquiring magnetic data reported by the magnetic sensor from the magnetic sensor.

It will be appreciated that fig. 5 only shows a part of the hardware structure of the electronic device 100 shown in fig. 1 and described above, namely, the first processor 111 and the second processor 112 in fig. 1. It should also be understood that the kernel layer 250 running in the first processor 111 shown in fig. 5 is different from the kernel layer 250 running in the first processor 111 shown in fig. 3, and the application layer 210, the application framework layer 220, the hardware abstraction layer 240 and the hardware running in the first processor 111 shown in fig. 5 are the same as the application layer 210, the application framework layer 220, the hardware abstraction layer 240 and the hardware running in the first processor 111 shown in fig. 3, respectively, and are not repeated here.

It should be understood that the operation of the processor in the electronic device 100 shown in fig. 3, 4 and 5 is merely illustrative, and is not meant to limit the present application.

Next, a data processing method provided by an embodiment of the present application will be described in detail with reference to fig. 6 and 7.

Fig. 6 is a schematic diagram of a data processing method according to an embodiment of the present application. It can be understood that, in fig. 6, taking the example that the electronic device a includes a map application, a VR video application, a sensor manager, a virtual gyroscope, an acceleration sensor driver, and a magnetic sensor driver, the interaction steps between the modules involved in the data processing method provided in the embodiment of the present application are described. The operation of the plurality of modules shown in fig. 6 in the processor of the electronic device a is not particularly limited. In some implementations, the plurality of modules shown in fig. 6 are modules that run by the same processor in electronic device a, which may be the first processor 111 in electronic device 100 shown in fig. 4 described above. In some implementations, the modules shown in fig. 6 are modules that run by multiple processors in electronic device a, which may include first processor 111 and second processor 112 in electronic device 100 shown in fig. 3 or 5 described above. It will be appreciated that the interaction flow of the plurality of modules in the electronic device a, which is not described in detail in fig. 6 below, may be referred to the related description in fig. 3, fig. 4 or fig. 5 above.

As shown in fig. 6, the data processing method includes steps S601 to S617. Next, steps S601 to S617 will be described in detail.

Before the electronic device a executes the data processing method provided by the embodiment of the present application, a value of a water line (watermark) of a FIFO buffer of an acceleration sensor of the electronic device a is F/n, where "/" indicates a divisor, F indicates a sampling rate of the acceleration sensor, n indicates a settable attribute of the FIFO buffer of the acceleration sensor, and the value of n is generally associated with the sampling rate of the acceleration sensor. The value of n may be defined by each manufacturer that produces the electronic device a, and the value of n is not particularly limited. It can be understood that when the value of the water line of the FIFO buffer of the acceleration sensor is F/n, the acceleration sensor will report ACC data with the data amount of F/n buffered in the FIFO buffer to the acceleration sensor driver, and the water line of the FIFO buffer may be less than or equal to the maximum buffering capacity of the FIFO buffer. F/n is any integer in the range of [2,10], for example, F/n may be 2,3,4,8 or 10, etc. It should be noted that, the value of the water line of the FIFO buffer of the acceleration sensor of the electronic device indicates the data amount of ACC data transmitted to the acceleration sensor drive at a time by the acceleration sensor. That is, before the data processing method provided by the embodiment of the present application is executed, the data amount of ACC data that is once transmitted to the acceleration sensor drive by the acceleration sensor of the electronic apparatus a is F/n (unit: frame).

In step S601, the VR video in electronic device a sends a registration message #1 to the sensor manager in electronic device a.

After the VR video executes step S601, the sensor manager receives the registration message #1 sent by the VR video. It will be appreciated that VR video is an application of the application layer of electronic device a and that the sensor manager is a module in the application framework layer of electronic device a.

The registration message #1 is used to indicate that the VR video requests subscription to the angular velocity data of the virtual gyroscope, and the content included in the registration message #1 is not particularly limited. In some implementations, registration message #1 may include an identification of the virtual gyroscope drive that is used to indicate the virtual gyroscope drive. In some implementations, the virtual gyroscope driver is a driver, and thus, the identification of the virtual gyroscope driver may be, but is not limited to, an identification of the driver.

For example, registration message #1 may be represented as register (virtual_gyro), which represents a virtual gyro drive.

The angular velocity data of the virtual gyroscope may refer to angular velocity data calculated based on ACC data and MAG data, and the angular velocity data refers to angle data including a heading angle, a pitch angle, and a roll angle.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, before the VR video performs the above step S601, that is, before the VR video requests to subscribe to the data of the virtual gyroscope, no other application subscribes to the data of the virtual gyroscope. That is, before the VR video performs the above step S601, the sensor manager does not receive a registration message sent by other applications for requesting subscription to the data of the virtual gyroscope. That is, the VR video performs the above step S601, that is, the application in the electronic device a first subscribes to the angular velocity data of the virtual gyroscope.

In step S602, the sensor manager in the electronic device a transmits an enable message #0 to the virtual gyroscope driver in the electronic device a.

After the sensor manager executes the above step S602, the virtual gyroscope driver receives the enabling message #0 sent by the sensor manager. After receiving the registration message #1, the sensor manager knows that the VR video needs to subscribe to the data of the virtual gyroscope. Thereafter, the sensor manager transmits an enable message #0 to the virtual gyroscope driver, the enable message #0 being used to trigger the virtual gyroscope to automatically perform steps S603, S604 and S605 below.

In step S603, the virtual gyroscope driver in the electronic device a transmits an enable message #1 to the acceleration sensor driver in the electronic device a.

After the virtual gyroscope driver executes the step S603, the acceleration sensor driver receives the enabling message #1 sent by the virtual gyroscope driver.

The enabling message #1 may include an identification of the virtual gyroscope drive, an identification of the acceleration sensor, and a control command #1, where the control command #1 is used to indicate that the value of the water line of the FIFO buffer of the acceleration sensor is set to 1, that is, the control command #1 indicates that the data amount of ACC data that needs to be controlled to be transmitted to the acceleration sensor drive at one time by the acceleration sensor is 1 frame of ACC data.

For example, the ENABLE message #1 may be a MESSAGEID _enable message.

In step S604, the virtual gyroscope driver in the electronic device a transmits an ACC registration message #1 to the acceleration sensor driver in the electronic device a.

ACC registration message #1 is used to request acquisition of acceleration data. For example, ACC registration message #1 may be a sns_ suid _lookup_add (ACC) message.

After the virtual gyroscope driver sends an ACC registration message #1 to the acceleration sensor driver, a callback function exists at the virtual gyroscope driver. After the acceleration sensor driver acquires the ACC data from the acceleration sensor, the virtual gyroscope driver can acquire the ACC data acquired by the acceleration sensor from the acceleration sensor driver through the callback function.

In step S605, the virtual gyroscope driver in electronic device a sends MAG registration message #1 to the magnetic sensor driver in electronic device a.

After the virtual gyroscope driver executes the step S605, the magnetic sensor driver receives the MAG registration message #1 sent by the virtual gyroscope driver.

By way of example, the magnetic sensor may be a magnetic sensor and the magnetic sensor drive may be a magnetic sensor drive.

The MAG registration message #1 is used to request acquisition of MAG data. For example, MAG registration message #1 may be a sns_ suid _lookup_add (MAG) message.

In the embodiment of the present application, the execution order of executing the above step S604 and step S605 on the electronic device a is not particularly limited. For example, the electronic device a may execute step S604 first, and then execute step S605. As another example, the electronic device a may execute step S605 first, and then execute step S604.

The above steps S603 to S605 describe a process of triggering the execution of the virtual gyroscope driver after the virtual gyroscope driver receives the enabling message #0 sent by the sensor manager. The pseudo code for performing the above steps S603 to S605 by the virtual gyroscope driver is as follows:

if (register to get application) {

enable( ) {

Transmitting MESSAGEID _enable message to the acceleration sensor driver;

registering ACC data with an acceleration sensor drive;

registering MAG data with the magnetic sensor drive;

}

notifyevent( ){

acquiring ACC data from ACC and MAG data of MAG;

invoking an attitude estimation algorithm to process and calculate the angular velocity of ACC data and MAG data;

}

In the above pseudo code, one example of the register is the registration message #1, one example of the message id_enable is the enable message #1, and the notify () can be understood as a callback function.

In step S606, the acceleration sensor driver in the electronic device a sets the value of the water line of the FIFO buffer of the acceleration sensor in the electronic device a to 1 according to the enable message 1.

The acceleration sensor driver in the electronic device a sets the value of the water line of the FIFO buffer of the acceleration sensor in the electronic device a to 1 according to the enabling message 1, and may include the following steps: the acceleration sensor drive sends a control command #1 to the acceleration sensor of the electronic device A according to the enabling message 1; the acceleration sensor sets the value of the water line of the FIFO buffer of the acceleration sensor to 1 according to the control command # 1.

Before the electronic device a executes the above step S606, the ACC data with the data amount (F/n) of frames collected by the acceleration sensor is immediately sent to the acceleration sensor driver, where F/n is any integer of [2,10 ]. Since the minimum unit of ACC data is one frame, that is, before the electronic device a performs the above step S606, the acceleration sensor will buffer the collected ACC data in the FIFO buffer until FIIO the ACC data buffered in the buffer has the data size of (F/n) frame, and the acceleration sensor will not send the ACC data with the data size of (F/n) frame to the acceleration sensor driver. After the electronic device a executes the above step S606, the ACC data with one frame of data volume collected by the acceleration sensor is immediately sent to the acceleration sensor driver. Because the minimum unit of the ACC data is one frame, after the electronic device executes the step S606, the acceleration sensor can realize the purpose of transmitting the ACC data to the acceleration sensor in real time, that is, the acceleration sensor does not buffer the currently acquired ACC data, so that the timeliness of ACC data transmission can be effectively improved, and the timeliness of generating angular speed data transmission by the virtual gyroscope drive is improved.

For example, the pseudo code of the step performed by the acceleration sensor driving may be as follows:

func1 () { normal acquisition data watermark=F/n; }

One example of the above pseudo code of the msgid_enable message is ENABLE message 1.watermark represents the water line of the FIFO buffer in the acceleration sensor, one example of the MSGID DISABLE message is DISABLE message 1 below.

In step S607, the acceleration sensor drive in the electronic apparatus a transmits one frame of ACC data #1 to the virtual gyroscope drive in the electronic apparatus a.

After the acceleration sensor driver performs the above step S607, the virtual gyroscope driver receives the ACC data #1 of one frame transmitted by the acceleration sensor driver.

In the embodiment of the present application, the transmission form of the acceleration sensor drive to transmit one frame of ACC data #1 to the virtual gyroscope drive is not particularly limited. For example, the acceleration sensor driver may carry one frame of ACC data #1 by a data packet transmitted to the virtual gyroscope driver so that the virtual gyroscope driver receives the one frame of ACC data #1.

The data packet carrying one frame of ACC data #1 is not particularly limited as to whether the data packet includes other information, for example, the data packet carrying one frame of ACC data #1 may further include at least one of the following information: sensor type, sensor data accuracy, or sensor data time stamp.

In step S608, the magnetic sensor drive in the electronic device a transmits one frame of ACC data #1 to the virtual gyroscope drive in the electronic device a.

After the magnetic sensor driver performs the above step S608, the virtual gyroscope driver receives the MAG data #1 of one frame sent by the magnetic sensor driver.

In the embodiment of the present application, the transmission form of the MAG data #1 of one frame transmitted from the magnetic sensor drive to the virtual gyroscope drive is not particularly limited. For example, the magnetic sensor drive may carry one frame of MAG data #1 by a data packet sent to the virtual gyroscope drive, such that the virtual gyroscope drive receives one frame of MAG data #1.

The method for determining whether the data packet carrying one frame of MAG data #1 includes other information is not particularly limited, for example, the data packet carrying one frame of MAG data #1 may further include at least one of the following information: sensor type, sensor data accuracy, or sensor data time stamp.

In step S609, the virtual gyroscope drive in the electronic apparatus a obtains one frame of angular velocity data #1 from one frame of ACC data #1 and one frame of MAG data #1.

Angular velocity data #1 includes heading angle, pitch angle, and roll angle.

It can be appreciated that, in the case where the VR video does not unsubscribe from the data of the virtual gyroscope, the virtual gyroscope driver may receive a frame of ACC data acquired in real time from the acceleration sensor by the acceleration sensor driver, and may receive a frame of MAG data acquired in real time from the magnetic sensor by the magnetic sensor driver, and calculate a frame of angular velocity data from the real-time acquired frame of ACC data and the frame of MAG data.

The virtual gyroscope drive processes one frame of ACC data #1 and one frame of MAG data #1 based on the attitude estimation algorithm, and one frame of angular velocity data #1 can be obtained. The posture estimation algorithm is not particularly limited, and an existing posture estimation algorithm can be adopted, and is not described herein.

Illustratively, the virtual gyroscope driver processes the one-frame ACC data #1 and the one-frame MAG data #1 based on the attitude estimation algorithm, so as to obtain one-frame angular velocity data #1, and may include the following steps: the virtual gyroscope driver respectively carries out data preprocessing on one frame of ACC data #1 and one frame of MAG data #1 to obtain corrected one frame of ACC data #1 and corrected one frame of MAG data #1; calculating real-time attitude information of the carrier according to a double-vector attitude determination principle by using the corrected one-frame ACC data #1 and the corrected one-frame MAG data #1; and calculating a course angle, a roll angle and a pitch angle according to the relation between the attitude angle and the attitude matrix to obtain one-frame angular speed data #1.

In the above implementation, the data preprocessing performed by the virtual gyroscope driver on one frame of ACC data #1 may include: the virtual gyroscope driver removes noise from one frame of ACC data #1 through a low-pass filter, filters high-frequency vibration information, and filters the influence of harmful acceleration through a mean value smoother to obtain corrected one frame of ACC data #1.

In the above implementation, the performing data preprocessing on one frame of MAG data #1 by the virtual gyroscope driver may include: the virtual gyroscope drive removes noise from one frame of MAG data #1 through a low-pass filter, eliminates soft magnetic and hard magnetic interference through a correction module, and maps magnetic data onto a standard sphere of space to obtain corrected one frame of MAG data #1.

In step S610, the virtual gyroscope driver in the electronic apparatus a transmits one frame of angular velocity data #1 to the sensor manager in the electronic apparatus a.

The virtual gyroscope driver sends a frame of angular velocity data #1 to the sensor manager, so that the sensor manager receives the frame of angular velocity data #1, and the data interaction process can be specifically referred to the related description in fig. 3, which is not described in detail herein.

In step S611, the sensor manager in the electronic device a transmits one frame of angular velocity data #1 to the VR video in the electronic device a.

Since the VR video requests the sensor manager for angular velocity data subscribed to the virtual gyroscope, the sensor manager may send one frame of angular velocity data #1 to the VR video after receiving the one frame of angular velocity data # 1.

It will be appreciated that, when the sensor manager sends a frame of angular velocity data #1 to the VR video, the electronic device a may be in a bright screen state or a dead screen state, which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present application.

It can be understood that after the sensor manager sends a frame of angular velocity data #1 to the VR video of the electronic device a, if the VR video does not unsubscribe from the data of the virtual gyroscope, the sensor manager will receive a frame of angular velocity data sent by the virtual gyroscope driver in real time, and the sensor manager will send the acquired frame of angular velocity data to the VR video in real time.

It should be noted that, the steps S601 to S611 are related steps of the electronic device a performing the registration procedure (i.e. the registration procedure 1 in fig. 6). Optionally, after the electronic device a performs the above steps S601 to S611, the map in the electronic device a may further send a registration message #2 to the sensor processor, where the registration message #2 is used to request to subscribe to the data of the virtual gyroscope. In this implementation, the electronic device a may also perform step S612 and step S613 shown in the registration flow 2 in fig. 6.

In step S612, the map in electronic device a sends a registration message #2 to the sensor manager in electronic device a.

After the map performs the above step S612, the sensor manager receives the registration message #2 sent by the map, accordingly. It will be appreciated that the map is an application of the application layer of the electronic device a.

Registration message #2 is used to indicate that the map requests subscription to angular velocity data of the virtual gyroscope, and registration message #2 may include a virtual gyroscope drive identification. Illustratively, registration message #2 is a register (virtual_gyro) message, which represents a virtual gyro drive.

In step S613, the sensor manager in the electronic device a transmits one frame of angular velocity data #2 to the map in the electronic device a.

After the electronic device a performs the above step S601 to the above step S612, that is, the VR video has successfully subscribed to the data of the virtual gyroscope (that is, the angular velocity data), that is, the VR video may acquire one frame of angular velocity data (for example, one frame of angular velocity data # 1) from the virtual gyroscope driver in real time by the sensor manager. Because the VR video does not send a request to the sensor manager to unsubscribe from the data of the virtual gyroscope, the sensor manager can acquire one frame of angular velocity data at the current moment from the virtual gyroscope driver in real time, and then the sensor manager can directly send the acquired one frame of angular velocity data at the current moment to the map after receiving requests of other applications (i.e., maps) requesting to subscribe to the data of the virtual gyroscope. That is, in this scenario, after the map transmits the registration message #2 to the sensor manager, the related flow similar to the above-described steps S602 to S606 need not be performed.

One frame of angular velocity data #1 may be angular velocity data obtained by the virtual gyroscope driver acquired by the sensor manager for one frame of ACC data and one frame of MAG data acquired at time 1, one frame of angular velocity data #2 may be angular velocity data obtained by the virtual gyroscope driver acquired by the sensor manager for one frame of ACC data and one frame of MAG data acquired at time 2, where time 1 is a time before time 2, one frame of angular velocity data #2 and one frame of angular velocity data #1 are angular velocity data transmitted by the sensor manager at different times, and one frame of angular velocity data #2 and one frame of angular velocity data #1 are different.

In the embodiment of the present application, in the case where the application (for example, VR video) in the electronic device a does not need to subscribe to the data of the virtual gyroscope, the electronic device a may further execute steps S614 to S617 corresponding to the de-registration procedure shown in fig. 6.

In step S614, the VR video in electronic device a sends a de-registration message #1 to the sensor manager in electronic device a.

After the VR video executes the above step S601, the sensor manager receives the deregistration message #1 sent by the VR video correspondingly.

The de-registration message #1 is used to request to unsubscribe from the data of the virtual gyroscope.

In step S615, the sensor manager in electronic device a sends a disable message #0 to the virtual gyroscope driver in electronic device a.

The disable message #0 is used to trigger the virtual gyroscope drive to automatically perform step S616 below.

The interaction flow between the sensor manager and the virtual gyroscope driver may be referred to the description of the interaction flow between the sensor manager and the virtual gyroscope driver in step S602, which is not described in detail herein.

In step S616, the virtual gyroscope driver in electronic device a sends a disable message #1 to the acceleration sensor driver in electronic device a.

After the virtual gyroscope driver performs step S616, the acceleration sensor driver receives the disabling message #1 sent by the virtual gyroscope driver.

The disable message #1 may include an identification of the virtual gyroscope drive, an identification of the acceleration sensor, and a control command #2, the control command #2 being used to instruct setting the value of the water line of the FIFO buffer of the acceleration sensor to F/n.

For example, the disable message #1 may be a MESSAGEID _ DISENABLE message.

In step S617, the acceleration sensor driver in the electronic device a sets the value of the water line of the FIFO buffer of the acceleration sensor of the electronic device a to F/n according to the disable message 1.

The acceleration sensor driver in the electronic device a sets the value of the water line of the FIFO buffer of the acceleration sensor of the electronic device a to F/n according to the disable message 1, and may include the following steps: the acceleration sensor driver sends a control command #2 to the acceleration sensor of the electronic device a according to the non-enabling message 1; the acceleration sensor sets the value of the water line of the FIFO buffer of the acceleration sensor to F/n according to the control command # 2.

After the electronic device a executes the above step S617, the acceleration sensor immediately sends the (F/n) frame ACC data to the acceleration sensor driver after the acceleration sensor collects the (F/n) frame ACC data, where F/n is an integer in the range of [2, 10], for example, F/n may be 2,3,4, 10, etc.

The above steps S616 and S617 describe the process of triggering the execution of the virtual gyroscope driver after the virtual gyroscope driver receives the disabling message #0 sent by the sensor manager. Illustratively, the pseudocode of steps S616 and S617 described above is as follows:

if (unregister to get application) {

disable( ) {

Sending an MSGID_DISABLE message to an acceleration sensor driver;

Registering ACC data;

}

In the above pseudo code, one example of the above unregister is a de-registration message #1, one example of the message id_disable is a disable message #1, and one example of disable () is a disable message #1.

It should be understood that the data processing method shown in fig. 6 is merely illustrative, and the data processing method provided in the embodiment of the present application is not limited in any way. For example, the electronic device a may directly end the data processing flow after executing the above step S601 to the above step S611. For example, the VR videos described above may also be replaced with other applications that require data for the virtual gyroscope, e.g., other applications may be, but are not limited to, gaming applications or navigation applications in electronic device a, etc.

In the embodiment of the application, when the VR video application of the electronic device subscribes angular velocity data to the virtual gyroscope drive of the electronic device, the electronic device sets the data volume of the ACC data (namely, the value of the water line of the FIFO buffer of the acceleration sensor) sent by the acceleration sensor to the acceleration sensor drive each time, which is the same as the data volume of the ACC data (namely, 1 frame) acquired by the acceleration sensor each time, namely, the acceleration sensor can report the ACC data with the acquired data volume of 1 frame to the acceleration sensor drive in real time, so that the timeliness of ACC data transmission can be improved. Then, under the condition that the acceleration sensor drives to transmit ACC data reported from the acceleration sensor to the virtual gyroscope in real time, the virtual gyroscope can obtain angular velocity data based on the ACC data, so that timeliness of the angular velocity data of the virtual gyroscope can be improved, and user experience is improved. In addition, when the VR video application cancels the subscription angular velocity data from the virtual gyroscope, the electronic device sets the data volume of the ACC data which is sent by the acceleration sensor to the acceleration sensor drive each time and is larger than the data volume of the ACC data which is collected by the acceleration sensor each time, that is, the acceleration sensor firstly caches the ACC data which is smaller than the (F/n) frame in the collected data volume, until the data volume of the ACC data cached by the acceleration sensor is the (F/n) frame, the acceleration sensor reports the ACC data which is the (F/n) frame to the acceleration sensor drive, so that the energy consumption of data transmission can be reduced. And, in the case that the VR video application successfully subscribes to the angular velocity data of the virtual gyroscope driver, that is, in the case that the value of the water line of the FIFO buffer of the acceleration sensor is set to 1, if the map application requests to subscribe to the angular velocity data of the virtual gyroscope driver again, the operation of updating the value of the water line of the FIFO buffer again is not required to be performed, so that the processing flow is simplified. In summary, the data processing method provided by the application can improve the data processing performance (timeliness of data transmission or reduce the energy consumption of data transmission) so as to improve the user experience.

The acceleration sensor driver, the magnetic sensor driver, and the virtual gyroscope driver may be located in a kernel layer of the electronic device when the first processor runs the acceleration sensor driver, the magnetic sensor driver, and the virtual gyroscope driver.

By way of example, the electronic device in the above implementation is the electronic device 100 shown in fig. 4, the first processor is the first processor 111 shown in fig. 4, any one of the plurality of applications (map, VR video, and navigation) included in the application layer 210 run by the first processor 111 may be the first application described above, and the kernel layer 250 run by the first processor 111 includes an acceleration sensor driver, a magnetic sensor driver, and a virtual gyroscope driver.

In other implementations, the electronic device includes a first processor to run the first application and a second processor to run the acceleration sensor driver, the magnetic sensor driver, and the virtual gyroscope driver.

The first application is an application in an application layer of the electronic device.

When the first processor is not running the acceleration sensor driver, the magnetic sensor driver, and the virtual gyroscope driver, the kernel layer of the electronic device does not include these three drivers.

By way of example, the electronic device in the above implementation is the electronic device 100 shown in fig. 3, the first processor is the first processor 111 shown in fig. 3, any one of the plurality of applications (map, VR video, and navigation) included in the application layer 210 run by the first processor 111 may be the first application described above, and the kernel layer 250 run by the first processor 111 does not include an acceleration sensor driver, a magnetic sensor driver, and a virtual gyroscope driver. The second processor 112 runs acceleration sensor drives, magnetic sensor drives, and virtual gyroscope drives of the electronic device.

In still other implementations, the electronic device includes a first processor for running the first application and the first processor is further for running at least one of the acceleration sensor drive, the magnetic sensor drive, and the virtual gyroscope drive, and a second processor for running a drive other than the at least one of the acceleration sensor drive, the magnetic sensor drive, and the virtual gyroscope drive.

The first application is an application in an application layer of the electronic device, and an understanding of the first application may be found in the above description, and will not be repeated here.

When the first processor is to run at least one of the acceleration sensor driver, the magnetic sensor driver, and the virtual gyroscope driver, the kernel layer of the electronic device includes the at least one driver.

By way of example, the electronic device in the above implementation may be, but is not limited to, the electronic device 100 shown in fig. 5, the first processor is the first processor 111 shown in fig. 5, any one of a plurality of applications (map, VR video, and navigation) included in the application layer 210 run by the first processor 111 may be the first application in the above implementation, and the kernel layer 250 run by the first processor 111 includes a virtual gyroscope driver. The second processor 112 runs an acceleration sensor drive and a magnetic sensor drive.

The first processor and the second processor in each of the above-described implementations are not particularly limited. In some implementations, the first processor is an application processor and the second processor is a system control processor, a sensor hub, an audio digital signal processor, or an enhancement digital signal processor.

The parameter value of the first parameter represents a data amount of acceleration data that the acceleration sensor drives each time the acceleration sensor sends, and in some implementations, the parameter value of the first parameter is equal to the first numerical value. In other implementations, the parameter value of the first parameter is equal to the second value. The second value is data larger than the first value, and the values of the second value and the first value are not particularly limited. In some implementations, the data amount of the acceleration data acquired by the acceleration sensor at a time is 1 (unit: frame), in which case the first value may be 1 and the second value may be an integer of [2,10 ]. For example, the second value may be, but is not limited to, 2,3,4,5, or 10, etc.

In the embodiment of the present application, the implementation method for executing the step S710 is not specifically limited.

In some implementations, the electronic device performs the step S710 described above, that is, in a case where the first application in the electronic device drives the subscription angular velocity data to the virtual gyroscope, setting the parameter value of the first parameter of the acceleration sensor to the first value includes: in the case where the first application drives the subscription angular velocity data to the virtual gyroscope and determines that the parameter value of the first parameter is not the first numerical value, the parameter value of the first parameter is set to the first numerical value.

Optionally, the first application in the implementation is an application in the electronic device that drives the subscription angular velocity data to the virtual gyroscope for the first time, that is, before the first application drives the subscription angular velocity data to the virtual gyroscope, no other application in the electronic device drives the subscription angular velocity data to the virtual gyroscope. Illustratively, the electronic device in such an implementation may be electronic device a in the data processing method provided above in fig. 6, and the first application may be VR video in fig. 6 above.

Optionally, the first application in the implementation is an application in the electronic device that does not subscribe angular velocity data to the virtual gyroscope for the first time, and in this scenario, before the first application subscribes angular velocity data to the virtual gyroscope, other applications in the electronic device subscribe angular velocity data to the virtual gyroscope first and then unsubscribe from angular velocity data, so that the parameter value of the first parameter is not the first numerical value.

In the above implementation, the electronic device may set the parameter value of the first parameter to the first value only when the first application drives the subscription angular velocity data to the virtual gyroscope and determines that the first parameter is not the first value. In other words, in the case that the first application drives the subscription angular velocity data to the virtual gyroscope and determines that the first parameter is the first value, the electronic device does not perform the operation of setting the parameter value of the first parameter to the first value, so that the data processing flow can be simplified and the energy consumption of the electronic device can be reduced.

In other implementations, the electronic device performs the step S710, where the setting, by the first application in the electronic device, the parameter value of the first parameter of the acceleration sensor to the first value in a case where the first application drives the virtual gyroscope to subscribe to the angular velocity data includes: the electronic equipment acquires a first registration subscription message, wherein the first registration subscription message is used for representing that a first application subscribes angular velocity data to a virtual gyroscope driver; the electronic device sets a parameter value of the first parameter to a first numerical value based on the first registration subscription message.

The first registration subscription message is used to indicate that the first application subscribes to angular velocity data with respect to the virtual gyroscope drive. In some implementations, the first registration subscription message may include an identification of the virtual gyroscope driver. Optionally, the first registration subscription message may also include other information, for example, the other information may be, but is not limited to, an identification of the first application.

For example, the registration message #1 or the registration message #2 in the data processing method provided in fig. 6 above is a specific example of the first registration subscription message, and details not described herein may be referred to in the related description in fig. 6 above.

The electronic device sets the parameter value of the first parameter to a first numerical value based on the first registration subscription message, i.e. the electronic device sets the parameter value of the first parameter to the first numerical value based on data generated by the first registration subscription message.

In the above technical solution, the electronic device sets the parameter of the first parameter to the first value based on the subscription message (i.e., the first registration subscription message) that the first application drives to subscribe to the angular velocity data to the virtual gyroscope.

Optionally, the electronic device in the above implementation further includes a sensor manager located at an application framework layer, and the first application is an application program layer located at the electronic device; and the electronic device obtaining a first registration subscription message, including: the sensor manager receives a first registration subscription message sent by a first application; the electronic device sets a parameter value of a first parameter to a first numerical value based on the first registration subscription message, including: the sensor manager sends a first enabling message to the virtual gyroscope driver based on the first registration subscription message; in response to receiving the first enabling message, the virtual gyroscope driver sends a second enabling message to the acceleration sensor driver; the acceleration sensor driver sets a parameter value of the first parameter to a first value according to the second enabling message.

The first enabling message is a message for triggering the virtual gyroscope driver to execute a preset operation, that is, after the virtual gyroscope driver receives the first enabling message, the electronic device controls the virtual gyroscope driver to automatically execute the preset operation, wherein the preset operation includes that the virtual gyroscope driver sends a second enabling message operation to the acceleration sensor driver, and the virtual gyroscope driver registers acceleration data to the acceleration sensor driver, and the virtual gyroscope driver registers magnetic data to the magnetic sensor driver. It should be noted that, after the virtual gyroscope driver sends the second enabling message to the acceleration sensor driver, the virtual gyroscope driver registers the acceleration data with the acceleration sensor driver and registers the magnetic data with the magnetic sensor driver.

The second enable message is used to indicate that the parameter value of the first parameter is set to a first value. In some implementations, the second enable message may include an identification of the virtual gyroscope drive, an identification of the acceleration sensor, and a first control command to indicate setting a parameter value of the first parameter to a first numerical value.

Illustratively, the sensor manager in the data processing method provided in fig. 6 above is a specific example of the sensor manager, the enabling message #1 in the data processing method provided in fig. 6 above is a specific example of the second enabling message, the enabling message #0 in fig. 6 above may be a specific example of the first enabling message, and details not described herein may be found in the related description in fig. 6 above.

Optionally, the electronic device further includes a sensor module located at a hardware abstraction layer, and in the step of sending, by the sensor manager, the first enabling message to the virtual gyroscope driver based on the first registration subscription message, the method includes: the sensor manager sends a first enabling message to the virtual gyroscope driver by invoking the sensor module.

Optionally, the electronic device in the above implementation further includes a magnetic sensor and a magnetic sensor driver; and, the method further comprises: in response to receiving the first enabling message, the virtual gyroscope driver registers acceleration data with the acceleration sensor driver and registers magnetic data with the magnetic sensor driver; after registering acceleration data to the acceleration sensor driver by the virtual gyroscope driver, the virtual gyroscope driver receives first acceleration data, the data amount of which is acquired from the acceleration sensor by the acceleration sensor driver, and the first acceleration data is a first numerical value; after registering magnetic data with the magnetic sensor drive, the virtual gyroscope drive receives first magnetic data, the data amount of which is acquired by the magnetic sensor drive from the magnetic sensor, and the first magnetic data is a first numerical value; the virtual gyroscope driver generates first angular velocity data according to the first acceleration data and the first magnetic data; the virtual gyroscope driver sends the first angular velocity data to the first application through the sensor manager.

The type of the magnetic sensor is not particularly limited, and for example, the magnetic sensor may be a geomagnetic sensor, and the magnetic sensor drive may be referred to as a magnetic sensor drive based on the time.

In the embodiment of the present application, the implementation method for generating the first angular velocity data according to the first acceleration data and the first magnetic data by the virtual gyroscope drive is not particularly limited.

In some implementations, the virtual gyroscope drive generates first angular velocity data based on a pose estimation algorithm, processing the first acceleration data and the first magnetic data. There is no limitation on the posture estimation algorithm, which may be an existing posture estimation algorithm.

In other implementations, the virtual gyroscope driver generates first angular velocity data from the first acceleration data and the first magnetic data, including: the virtual gyroscope drive carries out correction processing on the first acceleration data to obtain corrected first acceleration data; the virtual gyroscope drive carries out correction processing on the first magnetic data to obtain corrected first magnetic data; the virtual gyroscope driver generates first angular velocity data by processing the corrected first acceleration data and the corrected first magnetic data based on a posture estimation algorithm.

Illustratively, the magnetic sensor in the data processing method provided in fig. 6 above is one specific example of the magnetic sensor described above, one frame of ACC data #1 in fig. 6 above is one specific example of the first acceleration data in the above-described implementation, one frame of MAG data #1 in fig. 6 above is one specific example of the first magnetic data in the above-described implementation, and one frame of angular velocity data #1 in fig. 6 above is one specific example of the first angular velocity data in the above-described implementation.

Optionally, the electronic device further includes a sensor module located at a hardware abstraction layer, and in the step of sending, by the virtual gyroscope driver, the first angular velocity data to the first application through the sensor manager, the method includes: the virtual gyroscope driver sends the first angular velocity data to the send sensor manager by invoking the sensor module.

In the embodiment of the present application, after the first application subscribes the angular velocity data to the virtual gyroscope and the electronic device sets the parameter value of the first parameter to the first value, the electronic device may further execute the following steps: and controlling the acceleration sensor to report the acceleration data with the acquired data quantity of the first value to the acceleration sensor for driving.

In the above implementation manner, after the first application in the electronic device drives the subscription angular velocity data to the virtual gyroscope in the electronic device, the electronic device first sets a parameter value of the first parameter of the acceleration sensor to a first numerical value. And then, the electronic equipment controls the acceleration sensor to report the acquired acceleration data with the data quantity of a first value to the acceleration sensor for driving, so that the timeliness of acceleration data transmission can be improved. And then, the acceleration sensor drives to transmit acceleration data reported by the acceleration sensor in real time to the virtual gyroscope, so that the timeliness of angular velocity data generated by the virtual gyroscope can be improved, and the user experience is improved.

In step S710, a first application in the electronic device drives the subscription angular velocity data to the virtual gyroscope. Optionally, after the electronic device performs the step S710, if the second application in the electronic device drives the subscription angular velocity data to the virtual gyroscope, since the parameter value of the current first parameter is already set to the first value, that is, in this scenario, the electronic device will not perform the related step of setting the parameter value of the first parameter to the first value.

For example, VR video in the data processing method provided in fig. 6 above is a first application in the above scenario, and the map in the data processing method provided in fig. 6 above is a second application in the above scenario, which is not described in detail herein, refer to the related description in fig. 6 above.

In step S720, in the case that the first application drives the virtual gyroscope to unsubscribe from the angular velocity data, the electronic device sets a parameter value of the first parameter to a second value, where the second value is greater than the first value.

The electronic device executes the step S720, that is, when the first application in the electronic device unsubscribes the virtual gyroscope in the electronic device from the angular velocity data, the electronic device sets the data amount of the acceleration data (i.e., the parameter value of the first parameter) sent by the acceleration sensor to the acceleration sensor driver each time, which is greater than the data amount of the acceleration data (i.e., the first value) acquired by the acceleration sensor each time, and in this scenario, the acceleration sensor will buffer the acceleration data whose acquired data amount is smaller than the second value first until the data amount of the acceleration data buffered by the acceleration sensor is the second value, the acceleration sensor will report the acceleration data whose data amount is the second value to the acceleration sensor driver, so that the energy consumption of the data transmission can be reduced.

In the embodiment of the present application, the implementation method for executing the step S720 on the electronic device is not specifically limited.

In some implementations, the electronic device performs step S720 described above, that is, in a case where the first application drives the virtual gyroscope to unsubscribe from the angular velocity data, setting the parameter value of the first parameter to the second value includes: in the case where the first application drives the virtual gyroscope to unsubscribe from the angular velocity data and determines that the parameter value of the first parameter is not the second value, the parameter value of the first parameter is set to the second value.

In other implementations, the electronic device performs step S720, where the first application sets the parameter value of the first parameter to the second value in a case where the first application drives the virtual gyroscope to unsubscribe from the angular velocity data, including: the electronic equipment acquires a first de-registration subscription message, wherein the first de-registration subscription message is used for representing that a first application drives a virtual gyroscope to cancel subscription angular velocity data; the electronic device sets a parameter value of the first parameter to a second value based on the first de-registration subscription message.

The first de-registration subscription message is used to represent the first application to de-subscribe angular velocity data to the virtual gyroscope drive, and the first de-registration subscription message may include an identification of the virtual gyroscope drive.

Illustratively, the deregistration message #1 in step S614 in the data processing method provided in fig. 6 above is a specific example of the first deregistration subscription message described above, and details not described in detail herein may be referred to the relevant description in step S614 above.

Optionally, the electronic device in the above implementation further includes a sensor manager located at the application framework layer; and the electronic device obtaining a first de-registration subscription message, comprising: the sensor manager receives a first de-registration subscription message sent by a first application; the electronic device sets a parameter value of the first parameter to a second value based on the first de-registration subscription message, including: the sensor manager sends a first non-enabling message to the virtual gyroscope driver based on the first de-registration subscription message; in response to receiving the first disable message, the virtual gyroscope driver sends a second disable message to the acceleration sensor driver; the acceleration sensor driver sets the parameter value of the first parameter to a second value according to the second disable message.

The second disable message may include an identification of the virtual gyroscope drive, an identification of the acceleration sensor, and a second control command indicating that the parameter value of the first parameter is set to a second value.

Illustratively, the deregistration message #1 in the data processing method provided in fig. 6 above is a specific example of the first deregistration subscription message, the disable message #0 in fig. 6 above is a specific example of the first disable message, and the disable message #1 in fig. 6 above is a specific example of the second disable message, which are not described in detail herein, but related descriptions in fig. 6 above are omitted.

In the embodiment of the present application, after the first application in the electronic device cancels subscribing to the angular velocity data from the virtual gyroscope in the electronic device, and the electronic device sets the parameter value of the first parameter to the second value, the electronic device may further execute the following steps: the electronic equipment controls the acceleration sensor to store the acquired acceleration data into a buffer of the acceleration sensor, wherein the buffer capacity threshold of the buffer is a second value.

The type of buffer of the acceleration sensor is not particularly limited, and for example, the buffer may be, but not limited to, a FIFO buffer in the method provided in fig. 6 above.

In the implementation manner, after the first application cancels the driving of the subscription angular velocity data to the virtual gyroscope and sets the value of the first parameter to the second value, the acceleration sensor caches the acceleration data of which the acquired data volume is smaller than the second value, so that the energy consumption of data transmission can be reduced.

The FIFO buffer of the acceleration sensor in step S606 in the data processing method provided in fig. 6 above is a specific example of the buffer of the acceleration sensor in the above-described implementation, for example.

It should be noted that, in fig. 7, the method of setting the parameter value of the first parameter of the acceleration sensor is described by taking the angular velocity data of the first application subscription virtual gyroscope as an example. Alternatively, in other possible implementations, the data processing method shown in fig. 7 may be replaced by the following steps: under the condition that a first application in the electronic equipment subscribes acceleration data to the acceleration sensor, setting a parameter value of a first parameter of the acceleration sensor as a first numerical value, wherein the parameter value of the first parameter represents the data amount of the acceleration data which is sent to the acceleration sensor by the acceleration sensor every time, and the first numerical value is the data amount of the acceleration data which is acquired by the acceleration sensor every time; or setting the parameter value of the first parameter to a second value under the condition that the first application unsubscribes the acceleration sensor from the acceleration data, wherein the second value is larger than the first value. In this implementation manner, the method of how to set the parameter value of the first parameter is described by taking the acceleration data of the first application subscribed to the acceleration sensor as an example, and it can be understood that the principle of setting the first parameter in the two implementation methods is the same, that is, when the first application needs to subscribe to the data, the parameter value of the first parameter is set to be equal to the first value by the electronic device, and when the first application does not need to subscribe to the data, the parameter value of the first parameter is set to be equal to the second value by the electronic device.

It should be understood that the data processing method shown in fig. 7 is merely illustrative, and does not limit the data processing method provided by the present application. For example, after the electronic device a performs the above steps S601 to S617, other applications in the electronic device may subscribe the angular velocity data to the virtual gyroscope, and in this scenario, since the parameter value of the current first parameter is the second value, the electronic device a may perform steps similar to those described in the above steps S601 to S617 again based on the subscription of the other applications, which are different two applications. For example, after the electronic device a performs the above steps S601 to S617, the first application may subscribe the angular velocity data to the virtual gyroscope, and in this scenario, since the parameter value of the current first parameter is the second value, the electronic device a may perform steps similar to those described in the above steps S601 to S617 again based on the subscription of the first application.

In the embodiment of the application, when the first application of the electronic device subscribes angular velocity data to the virtual gyroscope drive of the electronic device, the electronic device sets the data volume of the acceleration data (namely, the parameter value of the first parameter) which is sent by the acceleration sensor to the acceleration sensor drive each time and is the same as the data volume of the acceleration data (namely, the first numerical value) which is acquired by the acceleration sensor each time, namely, the acceleration sensor can report the acceleration data with the acquired data volume of the first numerical value to the acceleration sensor drive in real time, so that the timeliness of acceleration data transmission can be improved. Then, under the condition that the acceleration sensor drives to transmit acceleration data reported from the acceleration sensor to the virtual gyroscope in real time, the virtual gyroscope can obtain angular velocity data based on the acceleration data, so that timeliness of the angular velocity data of the virtual gyroscope can be improved, and user experience is improved. In addition, when the first application unsubscribes angular velocity data from the virtual gyroscope, the electronic device sets the data amount (i.e. the parameter value of the first parameter) of the acceleration data sent by the acceleration sensor to the acceleration sensor drive each time, which is larger than the data amount (i.e. the first value) of the acceleration data collected by the acceleration sensor each time, namely the acceleration sensor caches the acceleration data with the collected data amount smaller than the second value, until the data amount of the acceleration data cached by the acceleration sensor is the second value, the acceleration sensor can report the acceleration data with the data amount of the second value to the acceleration sensor drive, so that the energy consumption of data transmission can be reduced. In summary, the data processing method provided by the application can improve the data processing performance (timeliness of data transmission or reduce the energy consumption of data transmission) so as to improve the user experience.
