Abstract

A method and a system for controlling operation modes of a mobile device may include a wearable device that acquires current vital sign data of a user, and transmits the current vital sign data to a mobile device. The mobile device may receive the vital sign data and may determine a current motion state of the user according to the vital sign data. The mobile device may acquire an operation mode corresponding to the current motion state of the user according to the current motion state of the user, and may switch the current operation mode of the mobile device to the corresponding operation mode. With the wearable device or accessories thereof, the state of a user may be determined intelligently, and a smart terminal may be controlled to enter a corresponding operation mode. The wearable device may achieve the function of intelligently controlling the operation mode switch like a remote control, making it more convenient for the user to use the device.
