[0039] The method and device of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0040] figure 1 The basic structure of the wireless charging mobile terminal of the present invention is shown, including: a power sharing device for setting a power sharing state and performing a power sharing operation; and a UI (User Operation Interface) control module for sending power to the power sharing device Set command for sharing status and confirm command for executing power sharing operation.
[0041] On the other hand, the above-mentioned power sharing device and UI control module can also be set in a public place as a public wireless charging device.
[0042] figure 2 The structure of the power sharing device of the present invention is shown, such as figure 2 As shown, the power sharing device includes: an interface module for communicating with the UI control module, that is, forwarding information; a state management module for setting and saving the power sharing state according to an instruction issued by the UI control module; The power detection module that checks the power status with the query command; the charge and discharge management module is used to receive or initiate a power sharing request, and when receiving a power sharing request initiated by a mobile terminal to be charged, the power sharing status and According to the detected power state, a wireless charging operation is performed.
[0043] Among them, the charging and discharging module transmits or receives electricity wirelessly. The module directly interacts with the battery, and performs charging and discharging operations on the battery according to the needs of power sharing. The module is capable of wirelessly transmitting power. Since the technology of wirelessly transmitting power is already in the prior art, the description will be omitted here.
[0044] The state management module is a module that sets the ON, OFF or automatic acceptance state of the device. It is an independent hardware module that provides setting and query interfaces. In the open state, the power sharing function is turned on, and the user's confirmation is required to initiate power sharing; in the off state, the power sharing function is turned off, and all related operations are rejected; in the automatic acceptance state, as long as the power reserve is sufficient, there is no need to notify the user. Initiate confirmation to automatically perform the sharing operation. That is, the state management module does the following:
[0045] According to the state of "power sharing on" saved by the state management module, query the power status from the power detection module, and perform the wireless discharge operation when the power is sufficient and confirmed by the UI control module;
[0046] According to the state of "automatic acceptance of power sharing" saved by the state management module, query the power status of the power detection module, and perform wireless discharge operation when the power is sufficient;
[0047]The wireless discharge operation is rejected according to the "Power Sharing Off" state saved by the state management module.
[0048] The interface module is provided to the software to realize the functions of obtaining the current state setting, setting the state, and user confirmation.
[0049] The power detection module is used to detect the power status of the machine, so as to confirm whether the operation such as charging and discharging is feasible. If the current remaining power cannot reach the preset threshold (the system can set a threshold value that can initiate power sharing by default, and the specific value of this value is subject to not affecting the communication of the mobile terminal), the power detection module can return a message of insufficient power, so that The charge-discharge module refuses to share power.
[0050] As described above, in the present invention, the user sets the state (on, off, automatic acceptance, etc.) of the power sharing device through the UI software control module, and the user sets the state through the UI control module. The power sharing device (specifically, the charging and discharging module) queries the target device that can accept charging/discharging, and at this time, it is assumed that the current state has been set to open or automatically accepted. If the current state is off, the charge and discharge module rejects the power sharing operation after obtaining the state. If the current state is open, the terminal prompts the user to obtain the confirmation of charging and discharging through the UI (user operation interface); if the current state is automatic acceptance, the terminal will no longer obtain confirmation from the user. Wireless charging operation. The process of confirming to the user initiates a request to the UI module through the software and hardware interface. After the user confirms, the process of charging and discharging starts between two or more mobile communication terminals until it is completed or interrupted by the user.
[0051] To sum up, the method for wireless charging between mobile terminals of the present invention includes the following steps:
[0052] The mobile terminal to be charged initiates a power sharing request to the power sharing mobile terminal;
[0053] After receiving the power sharing request, the mobile terminal for sharing power, performs a wireless charging operation according to its power sharing setting state and its power status.
[0054] The mobile terminal for sharing power is provided with a UI (User Operation Interface) control module and a power sharing device (including an interface module, a state management module, a power detection module and a charge and discharge management module), wherein the power sharing device sets the power according to the instructions of the UI control module Share on state or Power Share off state or Power Share auto accept state, and check battery power status.
[0055] If the setting status of the power sharing device is "Power sharing on", the power sharing device performs the following operations: when the current status is "Power sharing on", the power status is queried; if the power status is "Insufficient power", Then, the power sharing request of the mobile terminal to be charged is rejected; if the inquired power status is "sufficient power", a power sharing request is initiated to the UI control module; then, according to the approval of the UI control module or the confirmation of rejecting power sharing, wireless discharge operation.
[0056] If the state of the power sharing device is set to "power sharing off", the power sharing device performs the following operations: when the current state is "power sharing off", it directly insulates and rejects the power sharing request of the mobile terminal to be charged.
[0057] If the setting status of the power sharing device is "Automatically accepting the power sharing", the power sharing device performs the following operations: when the current status is found to be "Automatically accepting the power sharing", the power status is queried; ", the power sharing request of the mobile terminal to be charged is rejected; if the queried power status is "sufficient power", the wireless discharge operation is performed.
[0058] The mobile terminal to be charged is also provided with a UI (User Operation Interface) control module and a power sharing device, wherein the power sharing request and the operations of accepting wireless charging are performed through the power sharing device.
[0059] Combine below Figure 3 to Figure 6 The state setting of the present invention and the processing process performed according to the power sharing request initiated by other devices are described in detail.
[0060] image 3 The process of setting the state by the UI control module of the present invention is shown, and the process of setting the state by the UI control module includes:
[0061] The UI control module sends an instruction of power sharing setting (including opening, closing, automatic acceptance, etc.) to the interface module, and the interface module forwards the instruction to the state management module. After the status management module receives the command, it executes the power sharing setting and returns the corresponding "status setting" message to the interface module. If there is a status setting corresponding to the command before, it returns "already the current status". message, and no longer perform power sharing settings;
[0062] The interface module forwards the received "already the current state" message to the UI control module. On the other hand, the interface module inquires the power status from the power detection module according to the corresponding "status setting" message; if the power status returned by the power detection module is sufficient power, it indicates that the setting of the status management module is successful (and informs the status management module) , and send back to the UI control module a message that the setting is successful; if the power status returned by the power detection module is insufficient power, it indicates that the setting of the state management module fails (and informs the state management module), and returns a message to the UI control module that the setting failed .
[0063] Figure 4 It shows one of the processing procedures for other devices of the present invention to initiate a power sharing request (the sharing setting is open, and the connection requires user confirmation), including:
[0064] Other devices initiate a power sharing request; according to the request, the charge and discharge management module queries the status management module for the current status, and if the current status returned by the status management module is the shared setting of "open, connection requires user confirmation", it queries the power detection module battery status.
[0065] If the power status returned by the power detection module is "insufficient power", the charge and discharge management module rejects the power sharing request;
[0066] If the power status returned by the power detection module is "sufficient power", the charge and discharge management module initiates a power sharing request to the UI control module through the interface module; then the UI control module confirms the user's consent or refusal via the interface The module sends an instruction to approve or reject power sharing to the charge and discharge management module, so that the charge and discharge management module performs power sharing operations (for example, wirelessly discharges other devices that initiate power sharing requests).
[0067] Figure 5 The second process of the process of initiating a power sharing request by other devices of the present invention (the sharing setting is turned off) is shown, including:
[0068] Other devices initiate a power sharing request; the charging and discharging management module queries the status management module for the current status according to the request, and the status management module returns the sharing setting with the current status of "off", causing the charging and discharging management module to reject the power sharing request.
[0069] Image 6 It shows the third processing process of the power sharing request initiated by other devices of the present invention (the sharing setting is automatic connection and the power is insufficient), including:
[0070] Other devices initiate a power sharing request; according to the request, the charging and discharging management module queries the status management module for the current status, and the status management module returns the current status of the shared setting of "automatic connection", and then queries the power detection module for the power status.
[0071] If the power status returned by the power detection module is "insufficient power", the charge and discharge management module rejects the power sharing request.
[0072] Furthermore, if Image 6 , the power status returned by the power detection module is "sufficient power", and the charge and discharge management module performs a power sharing operation (not shown in the figure).
[0073] Although the present invention has been described in detail above, the present invention is not limited thereto, and various modifications can be made by those skilled in the art in accordance with the principles of the present invention. Therefore, all modifications made in accordance with the principles of the present invention should be understood as falling within the protection scope of the present invention.
