The working modes are a normal mode and a power-saving mode respectively. Among them, when the smart watch (fitness band) is in the normal mode, the power consumption is high and the battery life is short.

The electronic device 100 includes a storage and processing circuit 110, and a sensor 170 connected to the storage and processing circuit 110. The sensor 170 includes a camera, where:

The input-output circuitry 150 may further include a sensor 170. The sensor 170 may include an ambient light sensor, a proximity sensor based on light and capacitance, a fingerprint recognition module, a touch sensor (e.g., a light-based touch sensor and / or a capacitive touch sensor, where the touch sensor may be a part of a touch display screen or may be used independently as a touch sensor structure), an acceleration sensor, a camera, and other sensors, etc. The camera may be a front camera or a rear camera.

The display screen 130 may include a liquid crystal display screen, an organic light-emitting diode display screen, an electronic ink display screen, a plasma display screen, a combination of one or more of display screens using other display technologies. The display screen 130 may include a touch sensor array (i.e., the display screen 130 may be a touch display screen). The touch sensor may be a capacitive touch sensor formed by an array of transparent touch sensor electrodes (e.g., indium tin oxide (ITO) electrodes), or may be a touch sensor formed using other touch technologies, such as acoustic touch, pressure-sensitive touch, resistive touch, optical touch, etc., which are not limited in the embodiments of this application.

[0036] The electronic device 100 may further include an audio component 140. The audio component 140 can be used to provide audio input and output functions for the electronic device 100. The audio component 140 in the electronic device 100 may include speakers, microphones, buzzers, tone generators, and other components for generating and detecting sounds.

[0038] The electronic device 100 may include two systems, namely a first system and a second system, as Figure 1B shown, which is a schematic structural diagram of a charging control system provided by an embodiment of the present application. As shown in the figure, the charging control system includes: a first system, a second system, a display module, a battery, and a charging control unit. The first system and the second system share the same display module. Among them, the first system may include a charging control unit, and only the first system can control the charging control unit. The charging control unit may be integrated in the charging management chip corresponding to the first system, and the charging control unit can control the battery to perform a charging process.

[0039] Optionally, as Figure 1C shown, which is a schematic structural diagram of a charging control system provided by an embodiment of the present application. Among them, the system includes: a first system, a second system, a display module, a battery, and a charging control unit. Neither the first system nor the second system includes a charging control unit. That is to say, the above-mentioned first system, second system, and charging control unit exist independently in the electronic device. However, both the above-mentioned first system and the second system can control the charging control unit, and the charging control unit can control the battery to perform a charging process.

[0040] The electronic device 100 may further include a battery, a power management circuit, and other input-output units 160. The input-output units 160 may include buttons, joysticks, click wheels, scroll wheels, touch pads, keypads, keyboards, cameras, light-emitting diodes, and other status indicators, etc.

[0041] A user can input commands through the input-output circuit 150 to control the operation of the electronic device 100, and can use the output data of the input-output circuit 150 to receive status information and other outputs from the electronic device 100.

[0042] Based on the above Figure 1A The described electronic device can be used to implement the following functions:

[0043] If a charging operation is detected, call the charging control unit according to the current system operating state of the electronic device;

[0044] Based on the charging control unit, perform a charging process on the electronic device.

[0045] As Figure 1D shown, Figure 1D is a schematic flowchart of a charging control method provided by an embodiment of the present application, which is applied to an electronic device as Figure 1A shown. The electronic device includes a charging control unit, a first system, and a second system. Among them, only the first system can control the charging control unit; or, both the first system and the second system can control the charging control unit. The method includes:

[0046] 101. If a charging operation is detected, call the charging control unit according to the current system operating state of the electronic device.

[0047] Among them, in the embodiment of the present application, the electronic device may include two systems, namely a first system and a second system, and the electronic device may further include a charging control unit. The charging control unit may be installed in the first system. At this time, only the first system can control the charging control unit. In addition, the above charging control unit may also be installed in the electronic device, and neither the first system nor the second system includes the charging control unit. At this time, both the first system and the second system can control the charging control unit.

[0048] In addition, the above current system may be any one of the above at least two systems. In a specific implementation, when the electronic device detects that the electronic device is connected to a charging power supply or detects a charging operation, the charging control unit in the electronic device may be called according to the current system operating state corresponding to the electronic device. The above system operating state may be understood as running or not running, which is not limited herein.

[0049] For example, an electronic device may include a first system and a second system. The first system may be a high-power consumption system, and the second system may be a low-power consumption system, which is not limited herein. For example, the first system may be an Android system, and the second system may be a Linux system. Linux is a multi-user, multi-tasking operating system based on POSIX and Unix that supports multi-threading and multi-CPUs. Then the current system described above may be either the first system or any one of the second systems.

[0050] In a possible example, step 101 above, calling the charging control unit corresponding to the first system includes:

[0051] 111. Trigger a charging instruction based on the charging operation, and the charging instruction carries charging status parameters;

[0052] 112. Send the charging instruction to the first system;

[0053] 113. Based on the charging instruction, start the first system and call the charging control unit corresponding to the first system.

[0054] Among them, the above charging status parameters may include at least one of the following: charging percentage, remaining battery power, rated voltage, battery temperature, discharge current, etc., which is not limited herein. In a specific implementation, when the electronic device detects the above charging operation, a charging instruction may be triggered. The charging instruction is used to call the charging control unit of the first system. The electronic device may send the above charging instruction to the first system, and the charging instruction may carry charging status parameters. Then the first system can be started and the above charging control unit can be called. Since only the charging control unit of the first system is called, while realizing the charging of the electronic device, it is also beneficial to save the power consumption of the electronic device.

[0055] In a possible example, in step 101 above, when both the first system and the second system can control the charging control unit, according to the current system operating state of the electronic device, calling the charging control unit may include the following steps:

[0056] 121. When only the first system is running, call the charging control unit through the first system; or,

[0057] 122. When only the second system is running, call the charging control unit through the second system; or,

[0058] 123. When the first system and the second system are running simultaneously, call the charging control unit through the first system.

[0059] Among them, as Figure 1CAs shown, when the above-mentioned charging control unit is located in the electronic device, that is, when neither the first system nor the second system includes the charging control unit, both the first system and the second system can control the charging control unit. At this time, the electronic device can correspond to the following multiple situations: when only the first system is running, the electronic device can call the charging control unit through the first system; similarly, when only the second system is running, the charging control unit can be called through the second system; if the first system and the second system corresponding to the electronic device are running simultaneously at this time, if the first system is a low-power system, the above-mentioned charging control unit can be called through the first system, and if the second system is a low-power system, the above-mentioned charging control unit can be called through the second system. In this way, it is beneficial to improve the charging efficiency.

[0060] In a possible example, in step 101 above, when only the first system can control the charging control unit, according to the current system operating state of the electronic device, calling the charging control unit may include the following steps:

[0061] 131. When the second system is running, turn off the second system, run the first system, and call the charging control unit through the first system; or,

[0062] 132. When the second system is running, do not turn off the second system, run the first system in the background, and call the charging control unit through the first system; or,

[0063] 133. When the second system is running, turn off the second system, the first system enters the low-power mode, and call the charging control unit through the first system; or,

[0064] 134. When the second system is running, call the charging control unit through the first system, and the first system and the second system enter the low-power mode; or,

[0065] 135. When the second system is running, run both the first system and the second system simultaneously, and call the charging control unit through the first system; or,

[0066] 136. When the first system is running, directly call the charging control unit through the first system.

[0067] Among them, as Figure 1B shown, the above-mentioned electronic device includes a first system and a second system, and the second system does not include a charging control unit, and the first system includes a charging control unit. At this time, only the first system can control the charging control unit.

[0068] Further, the above-mentioned first system and second system can be different systems, and their power consumption situations may also be different. When the electronic device is working, the above-mentioned first system and second system can operate simultaneously or independently. Since the operating states corresponding to the above-mentioned first system and second system are different, the ways for the electronic device to call the above-mentioned charging control unit through the first system and / or the second system are different.

[0069] In addition, in order to save the power consumption of the electronic device and improve the charging efficiency, in specific implementation, if the current system is the first system and the second system is running, the following situations may occur: 1) The second system can be turned off and the first system can be run, that is, the operating state of the first system is maintained, and the charging control unit is called through the first system; 2) If the second system cannot be turned off at this time, the operating state corresponding to the second system can be maintained, and the first system can be run in the background of the electronic device, and the charging control unit corresponding to the first system can be called at the same time; 3) The second system can be turned off. If the above-mentioned first system can be switched to the low-power mode, the first system can be controlled to enter the low-power mode, and the charging control unit corresponding to the first system can be called at the same time; 4) If both the first system and the second system can be switched to the low-power mode, while calling the charging control unit, the first system and the second system can be controlled to enter the low-power mode; In this way, different charging strategies can be set for different situations, thereby facilitating the saving of the energy loss of the electronic device.

[0070] In addition, if the currently running system is the first system and the second system is not running, its corresponding charging control unit can be directly called. In this way, when the second system does not include a charging control unit and the electronic device cannot implement the charging function, the charging function of the electronic device can be realized by calling the charging control unit in the first system.

[0071] Optionally, after the above step 102, the first system and the second system share a display module, and the following steps may further be included:

[0072] During the charging process, if no preset system switching instruction is received, based on the display module, the original charging display interface before charging is maintained.

[0073] Among them, the above-mentioned preset system switching instruction can be set by the user or be the system default, which is not limited herein. For example, the preset system switching instruction can be an instruction initiated by the user. In addition, the electronic device may include a display module, and the first system and the second system can share this display module. That is to say, the first system and the second system are independent of each other, but both can call the above-mentioned display module. It can also be understood that the same display module can be applied to two different systems. In addition, different charging display interfaces can also be set for different systems in the electronic device. To ensure the smoothness of the system of the electronic device, the charging display interface corresponding to the current system can be maintained, that is, the original charging display interface. For example, if the current system is the second system and the first system includes a charging control unit, then, if the preset system switching instruction is not detected during the charging process of the electronic device, the charging display interface corresponding to the second system can be continued to be maintained based on the above-mentioned display module, and the system and interface used by the user before will still be run after the charging is completed. In this way, while improving the user experience, the above-mentioned charging function can be realized.

[0074] Optionally, in the embodiments of the present application, the above-mentioned first system and second system may meet the following conditions: the first system needs to run simultaneously with the second system, but the second system can run independently, and the power consumption of the first system during normal operation is greater than the power consumption of the second system during normal operation;

[0075] In this case, the charging control unit is located in the first system. The first system has a higher power consumption than the second system. When the second system runs independently, since the second system does not have a charging control unit, it must borrow the charging control unit of the first system for charging. However, the first system has a high power consumption, and running two systems simultaneously for charging has an impact on both the power consumption and the service life of the battery. Therefore, further controlling the first system to enter the low-power mode is beneficial to reducing the power consumption. In addition, when the second system runs independently, to avoid having to switch to the first system due to charging, thus disrupting the original usage state of the user, the display module can be controlled to continue to maintain the display interface corresponding to the second system, or even still be controlled by the second system, thereby enhancing the user experience.

[0076] Or,

[0077] The first system can run independently, but the second system needs to run simultaneously with the first system, and the power consumption of the first system during normal operation is less than the power consumption of the second system during normal operation;

[0078] Different from the previous embodiment, in this embodiment, the charging control unit is arranged on the first system with relatively low power consumption. Since the second system needs to run simultaneously with the first system, the first system is in an operating state whether it is controlled by the first system or the second system. Therefore, the charging function can be guaranteed without system switching.

[0079] Or,

[0080] Both the first system and the second system can operate independently.

[0081] In this case, when the second system runs independently and a charging request is received, system switching is required, or the first system and the second system need to run simultaneously to achieve charging. Of course, in order to control power consumption, a low-power operation mode can also be adopted. In order to avoid switching the display interface that is not required by the user, the original user interface can also be maintained.

[0082] 102. Perform a charging process on the electronic device based on the charging control unit.

[0083] Among them, regardless of whether the current system corresponding to the electronic device is the first system, the charging function of the electronic device can be realized based on the charging control unit corresponding to the first system while maintaining the current operating system or working state.

[0084] In an optional example, step 102 above, performing a charging process on the electronic device based on the charging control unit may include the following steps:

[0085] Control the charging control unit to perform a charging process on the electronic device with the charging status parameter.

[0086] Among them, the above charging status parameter may be the charging status parameter corresponding to the charging control unit of the first system. By controlling the charging control unit corresponding to the first system to perform a charging process on the electronic device with the above charging status parameter, it can be realized that when the current operating system corresponding to the electronic device does not have a charging control unit, the charging function can still be realized.

[0087] Optionally, before step 102 above, before performing a charging process on the electronic device based on the charging control unit, the following steps may further be included:

[0088] A1. Obtain multiple running processes corresponding to the first system and / or the second system;

[0089] A2. Determine the target application information corresponding to each process in the multiple processes to obtain multiple pieces of target application information;

[0090] A3. Determine the first weight corresponding to each of the target application information according to the mapping relationship between the preset application information and the weight, and obtain a plurality of first weights;

[0091] A4. Obtain the historical power consumption curves corresponding to each of the processes in a preset time period, and obtain a plurality of historical power consumption curves;

[0092] A5. Based on the plurality of historical power consumption curves, obtain a plurality of average power consumption rates corresponding to the plurality of processes, and each process corresponds to an average power consumption rate;

[0093] A6. Determine the second weight corresponding to each of the average power consumption rates according to the mapping relationship between the preset average power consumption rate and the weight, and obtain a plurality of second weights;

[0094] A7. Obtain the current battery level of the electronic device;

[0095] A8. If the current battery level is less than or equal to a preset battery level threshold, perform a weighted operation on the plurality of target application information, the plurality of first weights, the plurality of average power consumption rates, and the plurality of second weights to obtain a plurality of score values corresponding to the plurality of processes, and each process corresponds to a score value;

[0096] A9. Close the processes corresponding to at least one score value greater than a preset threshold among the plurality of score values.

[0097] Among them, the above-mentioned preset time period can be set by the user or defaulted by the system, and no limitation is made here. The above-mentioned preset threshold can be set by the user or defaulted by the system, and no limitation is made here. The above-mentioned processes can include at least one of the following: office type, instant messaging type, multimedia type, game type, etc., and no limitation is made here. The above-mentioned application information can include at least one of the following: power consumption, memory occupancy, running speed, CPU (central processing unit) occupancy, etc., and no limitation is made here. A mapping relationship between the application information and the weight can be preset in the electronic device. The larger the weight, the greater the impact of the process corresponding to the application information on the power consumption of the electronic device. In addition, a mapping relationship between the average power consumption rate and the weight can also be preset. The larger the weight, the greater the corresponding average power consumption rate. The above-mentioned plurality of processes can be scored based on the above two dimensions. The higher the score value, the greater the impact of the process corresponding to the score value on the power consumption of the electronic device or the charging efficiency. Therefore, based on the above two dimensions, the processes to be closed can be determined, which is beneficial to improving the granularity of power consumption judgment and the charging efficiency of the electronic device.

[0098] In a specific implementation, multiple running processes can be obtained, and the target application information corresponding to each process can be determined to obtain multiple pieces of target application information. According to the mapping relationship between the preset application information and the weight, the first weight corresponding to each target application message can be determined to obtain multiple first weights. Furthermore, the historical power consumption curve corresponding to each process within a preset time period can be obtained to obtain multiple historical power consumption curves corresponding to multiple processes. Based on the above multiple historical power consumption curves and the above preset time period, the average power consumption rate corresponding to each process within the preset time period can be calculated to obtain multiple average power consumption rates corresponding to multiple processes. And based on the mapping relationship between the preset average power consumption rate and the weight, the second weight corresponding to each average power consumption rate can be determined to obtain multiple second weights.

[0099] Furthermore, when the current power of the electronic device is less than or equal to the preset power threshold, if the electronic device is still running multiple processes, it will consume the current power of the electronic device and affect the charging rate. Therefore, some processes can be closed to accelerate the charging rate of the electronic device. The above preset power threshold can be set by the user or default in the system. Specifically, multiple scoring values can be obtained through weighted operations based on multiple pieces of target application information, the first weight, multiple average power consumption rates, and multiple second weights. For example, if the above target application information is memory information, that is, the scoring value = (the first weight * memory information + the second weight * average power consumption rate). In this way, multiple scoring values can be obtained. The larger the scoring value, the greater the impact of the corresponding process on the charging of the electronic device. Then, at least one process corresponding to at least one scoring value greater than the preset threshold among the multiple scoring values can be selected to be closed to reduce the operating burden of the electronic device and is beneficial to improving the charging efficiency of the electronic device.

Among them, only the first system can control the charging control unit; or both the first system and the second system can control the charging control unit. If the electronic device detects a charging operation, the charging control unit is called according to the current system operating state of the electronic device. Finally, based on the charging control unit, the charging process of the electronic device can be performed. In this way, when there is only one charging control unit in the electronic device, and regardless of whether the electronic device is in the first system and / or the second system, the charging control unit can be called to implement the charging function of the electronic device.
