[0024] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of one embodiment of the power-on control component of this application. The power-on control component 100 provided in this application includes a charging module 10, a motherboard data module 20, a judgment circuit module 30, and a power-on control module 40. The charging module 10 is a medium capable of receiving electrical energy from an external power source and transmitting it to the internal rechargeable battery of the device through a charging circuit; when the external power source is electrically connected to the charging module 10, the charging module 10 generates current after being powered on. In this embodiment, the motherboard data module 20 refers to the main circuit board integrating device functions and storing device data, including a power management chip, an RF processor, an RF power amplifier, and other CPU memory controllers, sensors, etc. The judgment circuit module 30 is electrically connected to both the charging module 10 and the motherboard data module 20, and is mainly used to turn on after receiving the current generated by the charging module 10, and continue to execute the process of judging whether the motherboard data module 20 is in a running state. The power-on control module 40 is electrically connected to the judgment circuit module 30, and is used to execute power-on control when the judgment circuit module 30 determines that the motherboard data module is in a non-running state. Through the above implementation method, the power-on control component 100 effectively replaces the power button in the prior art. The charging module 10, motherboard data module 20, together with the judgment circuit module 30 and power-on control module 40, achieve device power-on control. By using current to drive the device to power on while charging, the device can complete the power-on operation. Therefore, even in the event of theft, thieves cannot unlock the phone's internal functions or turn off the device. Users can then use the device's own cloud service function to quickly locate and recover the device, improving its security level and effectively protecting their property. Furthermore, the elimination of the power button reduces wear and tear on physical buttons, effectively saving equipment costs and extending the device's lifespan.

In this embodiment, the rechargeable battery 50 is electrically connected to the judgment circuit module 30 and is used to receive and store the power provided by the charging module 10. In a specific implementation scenario, when the judgment circuit module 30 determines that the motherboard data module 20 is in normal operating condition, the current is turned on to the charging module 10 to realize the normal charging function of the device. Through the above implementation method, the charging and power storage function of the device is effectively realized, ensuring the normal operation of the device.

[0026] In a specific implementation scenario, the charging module 10 includes a charging circuit (not shown). In this embodiment, the charging circuit is electrically connected to the judgment circuit module 30, and is mainly used to perform a normal charging operation on the charging battery 50 when the judgment circuit module 30 determines that the motherboard data module 20 is in operation, so as to ensure the normal charging function of the device.

[0027] In one embodiment, please refer to the following: Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 2 yes Figure 1 A schematic diagram of one embodiment of the judgment circuit module is shown.

The first interface 301 is located on the surface of the judgment circuit module 30, and the charging module 10 in the power-on control component 100 and the judgment circuit module 30 are electrically connected through the first interface 301. Furthermore, the second interface 302 is located adjacent to the first interface 301, and the motherboard data module 20 and the judgment circuit module 30 are electrically connected through the second interface 302. Through the above embodiment, the first interface 301 and the second interface 302 can be used to effectively connect the charging module 10, the motherboard data module 20, and the judgment circuit module 30, respectively, reducing the complexity of the electrical connections between modules.

[0028] In yet another implementation, please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figure 2 The judgment circuit module 30 also includes a third interface 303. The third interface 303 is located on the side of the first interface 301 furthest from the second interface 302, and the rechargeable battery 50 and the judgment circuit module 30 are electrically connected through the third interface 303. This design enables an effective electrical connection between the rechargeable battery 50 and the judgment circuit module 30, reducing the complexity of the electrical connection.

[0029] Please participate Figure 3 , Figure 3This is a schematic diagram of another embodiment of the power-on control component of this application. In this embodiment, the charging module 10 includes a charging coil 101, which is electrically connected to the judgment circuit module 30 through a first interface 301, and is used to provide power to the rechargeable battery 50. In this embodiment, the charging coil 101 can be a wireless charging coil, specifically utilizing an external power supply coil to continuously provide power to the wireless charging coil through electromagnetic induction to generate a current signal.

[0030] Of course, in other embodiments, the charging coil 101 can also be a charging coil with other charging methods, which is not specifically limited here. For example, a wired charging coil can be used, specifically to realize the power transfer between the external power source and the wired charging coil through a data cable.

[0031] Please continue reading. Figure 3 The power-on control component 100 provided in this application also includes a fourth interface 60. The fourth interface 60 is located on the side of the judgment circuit module 30 away from the charging coil 101, with at least a portion of the fourth interface 60 situated on the surface of the judgment circuit module 30, for establishing a wired electrical connection between the external power supply and the charging coil 101. Specifically, for different device types, the fourth interface can be a Type-C interface, a Micro USB interface, or a Lightning interface, etc., and is not specifically limited here. Through the above implementation, an electrical connection between the external power supply and the wired charging coil can be achieved to ensure the charging function of the device.

[0032] The following section describes the power-on control method corresponding to the power-on control component mentioned in the above embodiments from the perspective of methodological principles. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a flowchart illustrating one embodiment of the power-on control method of this application. The power-on control method provided in this application specifically includes the following steps:

[0033] S101: In response to receiving the current generated by the charging module, the judgment circuit of the judgment module drives its own judgment circuit to determine whether the motherboard data module is in operation.

[0034] Specifically, the charging coil in the charging module is energized by an external power source, generating current. This current drives the judgment circuit in the judgment circuit module to perform a judgment process, specifically determining whether the motherboard data module is in normal operating condition. It is understood that both the charging module and the motherboard data module are electrically connected to the judgment circuit module.

[0035] S102: If so, the charging circuit in the charging module is turned on by using current.

[0036] Specifically, if the motherboard data module is in normal operating condition, it will be directly connected to the normal charging circuit to achieve the charging function.

[0037] S103: If not, then the power-on circuit in the power-on control module is driven by current.

[0038] Specifically, in response to the motherboard data module being in an abnormal operating state, the power-on circuit in the power control module is activated to perform power-on control. After the power-on control is complete, the current will continue to conduct the charging circuit in the charging module, switching to the normal charging circuit to achieve the charging function.

[0039] Through the above implementation method, the power-on control component effectively replaces the power button in existing technologies. The charging module, motherboard data module, judgment circuit module, and power-on control module work together to control the device's power-on. Using current to drive the device while charging, it can complete the power-on operation. Therefore, even in the event of theft, thieves cannot unlock the phone's internal functions or turn off the device. Users can then use the device's built-in cloud service to quickly locate and recover the device, improving its security level and effectively protecting their property. Furthermore, eliminating the power button reduces wear and tear on physical buttons, effectively saving equipment costs and extending the device's lifespan.

[0040] In one implementation, please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 yes Figure 4 A flowchart illustrating an embodiment prior to step S103. The preceding steps, specifically, include:

[0041] S201: Determine whether the current has reached the preset current threshold in the power-on circuit.

[0042] Specifically, the preset current threshold can be manually set or modified in the program.

[0043] S202: If so, then drive the power-on circuit to power on.

[0044] Specifically, when the actual current value reaches the preset current threshold in the power-on circuit, the power-on circuit can be successfully driven to power on.

[0045] S203: If not, return a message indicating that the device cannot be powered on.

[0046] Specifically, if the actual current value does not reach the preset current threshold in the power-on circuit, the power-on process will fail and a power-on failure message will be returned.

[0047] The above implementation method adds a power-on circuit to realize the power-on conditions, providing technical support for the power-on process.

[0048] Furthermore, the power-on control component mentioned in the above embodiments can be sold separately or integrated into smart devices for sale. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 6 , Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of one embodiment of the smart device of this application. This application also provides a smart device 300, including the power-on control component 100 mentioned in the above embodiments and a device housing 200. The power-on control component 100 is fixedly installed inside the device housing 200 to protect and prevent dust from entering the device. The smart device 300 provided in this application has advantages such as high security level, low wear and tear, and low cost.

[0049] In summary, unlike existing technologies, this application provides a power-on control component that effectively replaces the power button. By combining a charging module, a motherboard data module, a judgment circuit module, and a power-on control module, the device's power-on is controlled. Using current to drive the device while charging, it can complete the power-on operation. Therefore, even in the event of theft, thieves cannot unlock the phone's internal functions or shut down the device. Users can then use the device's cloud service to quickly locate and recover the device, improving security and effectively protecting their property. Furthermore, eliminating the power button reduces wear and tear on physical buttons, effectively saving equipment costs and extending its lifespan.
