Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention disclose an intelligent device, a task processing method, and a baseband processor. An intelligent device includes a baseband processor and an application processor. The baseband processor is configured to obtain task trigger information which is used to trigger a task corresponding to an application in the intelligent device. Additionally, the baseband processor is configured to determine whether the task is a hosting task of the application, where the hosting task is a task that the application processor instructs in advance the baseband processor to process. Also, the baseband processor is configured to call and execute hosting code corresponding to the task if a detection result is that the task is the hosting task of the application.

call and execute heartbeat data sending code corresponding to the application, in response to the task trigger information instructing the baseband processor to send heartbeat data to a server of the application, wherein the heartbeat data sending code is used to send the heartbeat data to the server of the application.

27. The intelligent device according to claim 25, wherein the instructions further comprise instructions to:

receive hosting information sent by the application processor before the task trigger information is obtained, wherein the hosting information comprises a call path of the hosting code; and

set the task corresponding to the hosting code as the hosting task.

28. The intelligent device according to claim 25, wherein the instructions further comprise instructions to:

detect whether the task is a wakeup task, in response to determining that the task is not a hosting task of the application, wherein the wakeup task is a task that the application processor in the intelligent device is woken up to process; and

call and execute wakeup code corresponding to the task, in response to determining that the task is the wakeup task, wherein the wakeup code is used to wake up the application processor of the intelligent device and request that the application processor process the task.

29. The intelligent device according to claim 28, wherein the instructions further comprise instructions to:

receive wakeup information sent by the application processor before the task trigger information is obtained, wherein the wakeup information comprises a call path of the wakeup code; and

set the task corresponding to the wakeup code as the wakeup task.

30. The intelligent device according to claim 25, wherein the instructions further comprise instructions to:

obtain a network connection record of the application; and

perform optimization on a network task of the application according to the network connection record.

31. The intelligent device according to claim 30, wherein the instructions further comprise instructions to:

skip executing the network task, in response to the network task being to disconnect a network connection between the intelligent device and a server of the application and the network connection record indicating that a duration for which the network connection has been set up is less than a preset threshold; and

skip executing the network task, in response to the network task being to send a network request to the server of the application and the network connection record indicating that no response is received for a historical network request sent to the server of the application in a historical time period dating back from a current moment.

32. A method, comprising:

obtaining, by a baseband processor of an intelligent device, task trigger information, wherein the task trigger information triggers a task corresponding to an application in the intelligent device;

determining, by the baseband processor, whether the task is a hosting task of the application, wherein the hosting task is a task that an application processor in the intelligent device instructs the baseband processor to process in advance; and
