[0037] The following combination Figures 1-6 The following describes a device to be charged 200, an electronic device, a charging method, a charging apparatus 400, an electronic device 500, and a readable storage medium according to embodiments of the present application.

[0038] According to the embodiment of the first aspect of the present application, Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a device to be charged 200 is proposed, including a main body, a light-emitting component 210 and a photosensitive module 220. The light-emitting component 210 and the photosensitive module 220 are arranged on a first side of the main body, and the photosensitive module 220 is arranged on one side of the light-emitting component 210; when the device to be charged 200 is placed on a charging device 100 with a reflective surface, the first side is opposite to the reflective surface, the light-emitting component 210 is used to emit light to the reflective surface, and the photosensitive module 220 is used to receive light reflected by the reflective surface, and judge whether the device to be charged 200 and the charging device 100 are aligned according to the intensity of the received light.

[0039] In an embodiment of the present application, the device to be charged 200 includes a main body, a light-emitting component 210 and a photosensitive module 220. The light-emitting component 210 and the photosensitive module 220 are arranged on the first side of the main body, and the photosensitive module 220 is arranged on one side of the light-emitting component 210. The light-emitting component 210 is used to emit light, and the photosensitive module 220 can detect light intensity.

[0040] The charging device 100 has a reflective surface with high reflectivity, and the reflective surface can reflect the light emitted by the light emitting element 210 .

[0041] When the device to be charged 200 is placed on a charging device 100 with a reflective surface, the first side of the body faces the reflective surface. Optionally, the light emitting element 210 and the reflective surface are arranged to face each other, so that the light emitted by the light emitting element 210 toward the reflective surface is reflected as much as possible by the reflective surface to the photosensitive module 220. The photosensitive module 220 can receive the light reflected by the reflective surface and then determine whether the device to be charged 200 and the charging device 100 are aligned based on the intensity of the received light, thereby assisting the user in accurately positioning the device to be charged 200 and the charging device 100, ensuring that the device to be charged 200 can be charged normally. The structure is simple, easy to implement, and low-cost.

[0042] Optionally, the intensity of the light reflected from the reflective surface received by the photosensitive module 220 is compared with the target light intensity to determine whether the device to be charged 200 is correctly aligned, and the user can be prompted to take appropriate measures. The target light intensity refers to the light intensity reflected from the reflective surface that the photosensitive module 220 can receive when the device to be charged 200 is correctly aligned.

[0043] Optionally, when the difference between the intensity of the light reflected from the reflective surface received by the photosensitive module 220 and the target intensity falls within a preset range, it can be determined that the alignment of the device to be charged 200 is accurate. For example, if the intensity of the light reflected from the reflective surface received by the photosensitive module 220 is PD, the target intensity is L0, and the error is A, then -A≤PD-L0≤A. L0 can be obtained through repeated testing in the laboratory, and A can be statistically calculated by testing multiple devices to be charged 200.

[0044] Optionally, the photosensitive module 220 is a light-emitting diode (LED), and the photosensitive module 220 can receive light reflected from the reflective surface. Optionally, the photosensitive module 220 is a photodiode (PD).

[0045] Furthermore, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the photosensitive module 220 includes a first photosensitive module and a second photosensitive module, which are respectively arranged on both sides of the light-emitting element 210, and the distance between the first photosensitive module and the light-emitting element 210 is the same as the distance between the second photosensitive module and the light-emitting element 210.

[0046] In this embodiment, the photosensitive module 220 includes a first photosensitive module and a second photosensitive module. The first photosensitive module and the second photosensitive module are respectively disposed on either side of the light-emitting element 210, and the distance between the first photosensitive module and the light-emitting element 210 is the same as the distance between the second photosensitive module and the light-emitting element 210. Optionally, the first photosensitive module and the second photosensitive module are symmetrically distributed around the periphery of the light-emitting element 210. When the device to be charged 200 is aligned and placed on the charging device 100, the light point of the light-emitting element 210 is directly aligned with the center of the reflective surface of the charging device 100. Since the first and second photosensitive modules are symmetrically arranged, the target light intensity received by the first and second photosensitive modules is equal, both being L0. When the device to be charged 200 is not aligned and placed on the charging device 100, that is, when the device to be charged 200 is offset, the light intensity received from the reflective surface by the first and second photosensitive modules is different, and it can be determined that the device to be charged 200 is not aligned.

[0047] For example, when the device to be charged 200 is tilted to the right, the amount of light received by the first photosensitive module on the right side will decrease, while the amount of light received by the second photosensitive module on the left side will increase. By symmetrically arranging the first and second photosensitive modules, the present application can facilitate subsequent data processing, reduce the amount of calculation, and quickly and accurately determine whether the device to be charged 200 is tilted.

[0048] Furthermore, the device to be charged 200 also includes a light blocking member, which is arranged between the light emitting member 210 and the photosensitive module 220.

[0049] In this embodiment, the device to be charged 200 also includes a light blocking member, which is arranged between the light-emitting member 210 and the photosensitive module 220. The light blocking member can reduce the light from the light-emitting member 210 from propagating toward the photosensitive member as much as possible, and make the light concentrate as much as possible to propagate toward the reflective part 120 of the charging device 100, thereby reducing the interference of ambient light or other light on the light-emitting member 210.

[0050] Optionally, the light blocking member is a rubber sleeve, which is formed with a receiving cavity, and the light emitting member 210 is located in the receiving cavity. The rubber sleeve can provide a multi-directional light shielding effect for the light emitting member 210.

[0051] According to some embodiments of the present application, the device to be charged 200 includes a wearable device.

[0052] In this embodiment, the device to be charged 200 includes a wearable device, and the wearable device includes a bracelet, a watch, etc.

[0053] The light emitting element 210 and the photosensitive module 220 in the wearable device can detect the user's heart rate and blood oxygen level. Specifically, photoplethysmography (PPG) can be used for monitoring.

[0054] It's worth noting that unlike mobile phones, wearable devices aren't frequently checked by users. When a wearable device experiences charging anomalies, there's no way to manually intervene. This can lead users to believe the wearable device is charging when, in fact, it's not. The solution in this application can simply and effectively alert users, preventing or reducing the inconvenience caused by this situation and potentially reducing returns and complaints.

[0055] According to an embodiment of the second aspect of the present application, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an electronic device is proposed, which includes: a device to be charged 200 and a charging device 100 as provided in the first aspect, the charging device 100 has a reflective surface, and when the device to be charged 200 is placed on the charging device 100 with the reflective surface, the reflective surface is opposite to the first side of the body, and the reflective surface can reflect the light emitted by the light-emitting component 210 to the photosensitive module 220.

[0056] In this embodiment, the electronic device includes the device to be charged 200 as proposed in the embodiment of the first aspect, and thus has all the beneficial effects of the device to be charged 200, which will not be described in detail here.

[0057] The electronic device further includes a charging device 100 , which has a reflective surface. Light can be diffusely reflected or totally reflected on the reflective surface.

[0058] Optionally, the light from the light-emitting element 210 can undergo total reflection on the reflective surface, and the propagation of the light will be more regular, which can improve the accuracy of the light intensity received by the photosensitive module 220 and minimize the impact on the accuracy of the photosensitive module 220 due to interference during the light propagation process.

[0059] Alternatively, as Figure 1and Figure 2 As shown, the charging device 100 includes a base 110 and a reflective portion 120. The base 110 is used to support the device to be charged 200. The reflective portion 120 is provided on the base 110 and has a reflective surface that can reflect light from the light emitting element 210 to the photosensitive module 220.

[0060] Optionally, the reflecting portion 120 includes a reflector, which includes a reflective surface facing the light emitting element 210. A positioning groove is provided on the base 110, and the reflector is installed in the positioning groove, which can ensure the positioning installation of the reflector, is convenient and fast, and has good position stability of the reflector.

[0061] Optionally, the positioning groove is a groove body with one side open.

[0062] Optionally, the notch of the positioning groove can be arranged toward the light emitting element 210, specifically, the notch of the positioning groove is arranged upward. In this case, the reflector can be supported by the bottom of the positioning groove, the structure is stable, and the installation is convenient.

[0063] Optionally, the notch of the positioning groove can be set in a direction away from the light-emitting part 210. Specifically, the notch of the positioning groove is set downward. At this time, the part of the base 110 corresponding to the positioning groove is a light-transmitting structure, that is, the light will pass through this part of the base 110 and be emitted toward the reflector. At the same time, this part of the base 110 can protect the reflector from any wear and tear, extend the service life of the reflector, ensure the reflective effect of the reflector on light, and thereby achieve accurate alignment of the device to be charged 200.

[0064] According to some embodiments of the present application, the reflective portion 120 includes a reflective layer, and the reflective layer is disposed on the base 110 .

[0065] In this embodiment, the reflective portion 120 includes a reflective layer. The reflective layer is thin and hardly increases the overall weight of the charging device 100 , hardly occupies the internal space of the base 110 , and does not cause any burden on the lightweight development of the entire charging device 100 .

[0066] Optionally, the reflective layer is a reflective coating, which can be provided on the base 110 by electroplating. The reflective layer has a high bonding strength with the base 110 and is not easily separated from the base 110 , thereby significantly extending the service life of the charging device 100 .

[0067] Optionally, a reflective layer is provided on the outer surface of the base 110 , which can minimize the interference and loss of light from the light emitting element 210 during the propagation process.

[0068] According to some embodiments of the present application, the base 110 includes a light-transmitting portion, and the reflective layer is disposed on an inner surface of the light-transmitting portion.

[0069] In this embodiment, the base 110 includes a light-transmitting portion, which does not affect the light, that is, the light can continue to propagate through the light-transmitting portion. The reflective layer is arranged on the inner surface of the light-transmitting portion. When the device to be charged 200 is installed on the charging device 100, it will not directly contact the reflective layer, that is, it will not cause any wear to the reflective layer, which can extend the service life of the reflective layer.

[0070] Furthermore, the electronic device also includes a prompt device, which can issue a prompt message based on the comparison result of the light intensity PD of the light reflected by the reflective surface received by the photosensitive module 220 and the target light intensity L0, thereby prompting the user to take corresponding measures.

[0071] Optionally, the prompting device is provided on the charging device 100 .

[0072] Optionally, the prompting device is provided on the device to be charged 200 .

[0073] Optionally, the prompting device is a mobile terminal, and the prompting device can be communicatively connected with the electronic device.

[0074] According to an embodiment of the third aspect of the present application, Figure 3 As shown, the present application proposes a charging method, which is used for the device to be charged provided in the first aspect, and the charging method includes:

[0075] S302, when the device to be charged is placed on a charging device with a reflective surface, controlling the light-emitting element to emit light, and obtaining the intensity of light reflected from the reflective surface through the photosensitive module;

[0076] S304: When the light intensity does not meet the preset condition, output a first instruction, where the first instruction is used to indicate that the device to be charged and the charging device are not aligned.

[0077] The charging method provided in the present application is used for a device to be charged, wherein the charging method includes controlling the light-emitting component to emit light when the device to be charged is placed on a charging device with a reflective surface, and obtaining the light intensity reflected from the reflective surface through a photosensitive module. When the light intensity does not meet a preset condition, a first instruction is output. The first instruction is used to indicate that the device to be charged and the charging device are not aligned, so that the user can promptly discover that the device to be charged is "biased", prompting the user to take corresponding measures to ensure that the device to be charged can be charged normally. The method is simple, easy to implement, and low-cost.

[0078] Alternatively, if the light intensity meets a preset condition, the charging device can charge the device to be charged. That is, if the current light intensity meets the preset condition, it proves that the device to be charged is aligned with the charging device, i.e., the device to be charged is properly placed and can be charged normally. Alternatively, if the light intensity meets the preset condition, the charging device can directly charge the device to be charged.

[0079] Optionally, the light emitting element can emit light according to a set period. Optionally, the light emitting element can perform light detection at intervals, and the specific time can be adjusted accordingly according to needs.

[0080] Optionally, the first instruction can be a vibration prompt, a sound prompt, a light prompt, a message prompt, etc. When the prompt is a message prompt, a text message can be sent to the mobile terminal via the communication module, such as "The device is tilted, please reposition it." The prompt can be dismissed when the current light input is detected to be equal to a first threshold, or the user can select "Do not disturb again."

[0081] Optionally, after obtaining the light intensity reflected from the reflective surface through the photosensitive module, the charging method further includes: when the light intensity meets a preset condition, sending a second instruction to the charging device, the second instruction being used to instruct the device to be charged to charge the charging device.

[0082] In this embodiment, when the light intensity meets the preset conditions, it indicates that the device to be charged is accurately aligned and is placed "straight" on the charging device. At this time, the device to be charged can send a second instruction to the charging device. The second instruction is used to instruct the device to be charged to charge the charging device. In other words, whether charging starts depends on the second instruction. The charging device can only charge the device to be charged according to the second instruction, thereby ensuring the accuracy of charging and avoiding unnecessary energy loss.

[0083] Furthermore, the photosensitive module includes a first photosensitive module and a second photosensitive module, and the light intensity reflected from the reflective surface is obtained through the photosensitive module, including: obtaining the first light intensity reflected from the reflective surface through the first photosensitive module, and obtaining the second light intensity reflected from the reflective surface through the second photosensitive module; the preset conditions include: the difference between the first light intensity and the second light intensity is less than the preset value.

[0084] In this embodiment, when the number of photosensitive modules is two, each photosensitive module can receive the reflected light intensity, that is, the first light intensity and the second light intensity are respectively collected by the first photosensitive module and the second photosensitive module. At this time, the preset condition is that the difference between the first light intensity and the second light intensity is less than the preset value. If the difference between the first light intensity and the second light intensity does not meet the preset condition, it means that the difference between the first light intensity and the second light intensity is greater than or equal to the preset value, wherein the preset value is an error value, which can be obtained by testing multiple electronic devices. If the difference between the first light intensity and the second light intensity is too large, it indicates that the current position of the device to be charged has deviated. At this time, a first instruction can be output to prompt the user to move the device to be charged to the charging position, so that the user can promptly detect that the device to be charged is skewed and adjust the position of the device to be charged in time.

[0085] Furthermore, when it is detected that the difference between the first light intensity and the second light intensity meets a preset condition, the charging device charges the device to be charged. In other words, if the difference between the first light intensity and the second light intensity meets the preset condition, it proves that the current position of the device to be charged is in the charging position, and the device to be charged and the charging device are in good contact, that is, the device to be charged is properly placed and can be charged normally.

[0086] According to some embodiments of the present application, due to the different reflectivities of different materials, when a user uses a non-standard charging device, the reflectivity of the reflective portion on the non-standard charging device is different from that of the standard charging device. At this time, the reflective portions of different materials have different reflection effects on light. At this time, after the light reflected from the reflective portion of the non-standard charging device is collected by the photosensitive element, there will be a very obvious gap between the amount of light received and the target amount of light received, so that it can be determined whether the charging device used by the user is standard. When a non-standard product is detected, a push notification similar to "non-original accessories, do you want to use it?" can be sent to the user. In addition, after-sales service can also check whether the user has damaged the device to be charged by using non-original accessories.

[0087] The charging method provided in the embodiment of the present application can be executed by a charging device. In the embodiment of the present application, the charging method is executed by a charging device as an example to illustrate the charging device provided in the embodiment of the present application.

[0088] According to the embodiment of the fourth aspect of the present application, Figure 4 As shown, an embodiment of the present application proposes a charging device 400, which is used for the device to be charged provided in the first aspect. The charging device 400 includes a control unit 402 and an output unit 404. The control unit 402 is used to control the light-emitting component to emit light when the device to be charged is placed on a charging device with a reflective surface, and obtain the light intensity reflected from the reflective surface through the photosensitive module; the output unit 404 is used to output a first instruction when the light intensity does not meet the preset conditions, and the first instruction is used to indicate that the device to be charged and the charging device are not aligned.

[0089] The charging device 400 provided in the present application is used for a device to be charged, wherein the charging device 400 includes a control unit 402 and an output unit 404. When the device to be charged is placed on a charging device with a reflective surface, the control unit 402 can control the light-emitting component to emit light and obtain the light intensity reflected from the reflective surface through the photosensitive module. When the light intensity does not meet the preset conditions, the output unit 404 can output a first instruction. The first instruction is used to indicate that the device to be charged and the charging device are not aligned, so that the user can promptly discover that the device to be charged is "biased" and prompt the user to take corresponding measures to ensure that the device to be charged can be charged normally. It is simple, easy to implement, and low-cost.

[0090] Alternatively, if the light intensity meets a preset condition, the charging device can charge the device to be charged. That is, if the current light intensity meets the preset condition, it proves that the device to be charged is aligned with the charging device, i.e., the device to be charged is properly placed and can be charged normally. Alternatively, if the light intensity meets the preset condition, the charging device can directly charge the device to be charged.

[0091] Optionally, the light emitting element can emit light according to a set period. Optionally, the light emitting element can perform light detection at intervals, and the specific time can be adjusted accordingly according to needs.

[0092] Optionally, the first instruction can be a vibration prompt, a sound prompt, a light prompt, a message prompt, etc. When the prompt is a message prompt, a text message can be sent to the mobile terminal via the communication module, such as "The device is tilted, please reposition it." The prompt can be dismissed when the current light input is detected to be equal to a first threshold, or the user can select "Do not disturb again."

[0093] Furthermore, the control unit 402 is further configured to send a second instruction to the charging device when the light intensity meets a preset condition, where the second instruction is configured to instruct the device to be charged to charge the charging device.

[0094] In this embodiment, when the reflected light intensity meets the preset conditions, it indicates that the device to be charged is accurately aligned and is placed "straight" on the charging device. At this time, the control unit 402 can send a second instruction to the charging device. The second instruction is used to instruct the device to be charged to charge the charging device. In other words, whether charging starts depends on the second instruction. The charging device can only charge the device to be charged according to the second instruction, thereby ensuring the accuracy of charging and avoiding unnecessary energy loss.

[0095] Furthermore, the photosensitive module includes a first photosensitive module and a second photosensitive module, and the control unit 402 is specifically used to: obtain a first light intensity reflected from the reflective surface through the first photosensitive module, and obtain a second light intensity reflected from the reflective surface through the second photosensitive module; the preset conditions include: the difference between the first light intensity and the second light intensity is less than the preset value.

[0096] In this embodiment, when the number of photosensitive modules is two, each photosensitive module can receive the reflected light intensity, that is, the first light intensity and the second light intensity are respectively collected by the first photosensitive module and the second photosensitive module. At this time, the preset condition is that the difference between the first light intensity and the second light intensity is less than the preset value. If the difference between the first light intensity and the second light intensity does not meet the preset condition, it means that the difference between the first light intensity and the second light intensity is greater than or equal to the preset value, wherein the preset value is an error value, which can be obtained by testing multiple electronic devices. If the difference between the first light intensity and the second light intensity is too large, it indicates that the current position of the device to be charged has deviated. At this time, a first instruction can be output to prompt the user to move the device to be charged to the charging position, so that the user can promptly detect that the device to be charged is skewed and adjust the position of the device to be charged in time.

[0097] Furthermore, when it is detected that the difference between the first light intensity and the second light intensity meets a preset condition, the charging device charges the device to be charged. In other words, if the difference between the first light intensity and the second light intensity meets the preset condition, it proves that the current position of the device to be charged is in the charging position, and the device to be charged and the charging device are in good contact, that is, the device to be charged is properly placed and can be charged normally.

[0098] The charging device in the embodiments of the present application can be a device, or a component, integrated circuit, or chip in a terminal. The device can be a mobile electronic device or a non-mobile electronic device. For example, the mobile electronic device can be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a laptop computer, a PDA, an in-vehicle electronic device, a wearable device, an ultra-mobile personal computer (UMPC), a netbook, or a personal digital assistant (PDA), etc. The non-mobile electronic device can be a server, a network attached storage (NAS), a personal computer (PC), a television (TV), an ATM, or an kiosks, etc., which are not specifically limited in the embodiments of the present application.

The operating system may be an Android operating system, an iOS operating system, or other possible operating systems, which are not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present application.

[0100] According to an embodiment of the fifth aspect of the present application, Figure 5As shown, an embodiment of the present application proposes an electronic device 500, including a processor 502 and a memory 504, wherein the memory 504 stores programs or instructions that can be run on the processor 502. When the programs or instructions are executed by the processor 502, the steps of the charging method provided in the third aspect are implemented, and the same technical effects can be achieved. To avoid repetition, they will not be described here.

[0101] It should be noted that the electronic devices in the embodiments of the present application include the above-mentioned mobile electronic devices and non-mobile electronic devices.

[0102] Figure 6 A schematic diagram of the hardware structure of an electronic device 600 for implementing an embodiment of the present application.

[0103] The electronic device 600 includes but is not limited to: a radio frequency unit 601, a network module 602, an audio prompt unit 603, an input unit 604, a sensor 605, a display unit 606, a user input unit 607, an interface unit 608, a memory 609, and a processor 610.

[0104] Those skilled in the art will understand that the electronic device 600 may also include a power source (such as a battery) to power each component, and the power source may be logically connected to the processor 610 through a power management system, thereby implementing functions such as charging, discharging, and power consumption management through the power management system. Figure 6 The electronic device structure shown in the figure does not constitute a limitation on the electronic device. The electronic device may include more or fewer components than shown in the figure, or combine certain components, or arrange the components differently, which will not be repeated here.

[0105] The processor 610 is configured to control the light-emitting element to emit light and obtain the intensity of light reflected from the reflective surface through the photosensitive module when the device to be charged is placed on a charging device with a reflective surface.

[0106] The radio frequency unit 601 is configured to output a first instruction when the light intensity does not meet a preset condition, where the first instruction is configured to indicate that the device to be charged is not aligned with the charging device.

[0107] In an embodiment of the present application, when the device to be charged is placed on a charging device with a reflective surface, the light-emitting component is controlled to emit light, and the light intensity reflected from the reflective surface is obtained through the photosensitive module. When the light intensity does not meet the preset conditions, a first instruction is output. The first instruction is used to indicate that the device to be charged and the charging device are not aligned, so that the user can promptly discover that the device to be charged is "biased", prompting the user to take corresponding measures to ensure that the device to be charged can be charged normally. It is simple, easy to implement, and low-cost.

[0108] Alternatively, if the light intensity meets a preset condition, the charging device can charge the device to be charged. That is, if the current light intensity meets the preset condition, it proves that the device to be charged is aligned with the charging device, i.e., the device to be charged is properly placed and can be charged normally. Alternatively, if the light intensity meets the preset condition, the charging device can directly charge the device to be charged.

[0109] Optionally, the light emitting element can emit light according to a set period. Optionally, the light emitting element can perform light detection at intervals, and the specific time can be adjusted accordingly according to needs.

[0110] Optionally, the first instruction can be a vibration prompt, a sound prompt, a light prompt, a message prompt, etc. When the prompt is a message prompt, a text message can be sent to the mobile terminal via the communication module, such as "The device is tilted, please reposition it." The prompt can be dismissed when the current light input is detected to be equal to a first threshold, or the user can select "Do not disturb again."

[0111] Optionally, the radio frequency unit 601 is further configured to send a second instruction to the charging device when the light intensity meets a preset condition, where the second instruction is configured to instruct the device to be charged to charge the charging device.

[0112] In the embodiment of the present application, when the light intensity meets the preset conditions, it indicates that the device to be charged is accurately aligned and is placed "straight" on the charging device. At this time, the device to be charged can send a second instruction to the charging device. The second instruction is used to instruct the device to be charged to charge the charging device. In other words, whether charging starts depends on the second instruction. The charging device can only charge the device to be charged according to the second instruction, thereby ensuring the accuracy of charging and avoiding unnecessary energy loss.

[0113] Optionally, the processor 610 is also used to obtain a first light intensity reflected from the reflective surface through a first photosensitive module, and to obtain a second light intensity reflected from the reflective surface through a second photosensitive module. When the difference between the first light intensity and the second light intensity is greater than a preset value, the RF unit 601 is used to output a first instruction.

[0114] In an embodiment of the present application, when the number of photosensitive modules is two, each photosensitive module can receive the reflected light intensity, that is, the first light intensity and the second light intensity are respectively collected by the first photosensitive module and the second photosensitive module. At this time, the preset condition is that the difference between the first light intensity and the second light intensity is less than the preset value. If the difference between the first light intensity and the second light intensity does not meet the preset condition, it means that the difference between the first light intensity and the second light intensity is greater than or equal to the preset value, wherein the preset value is an error value, which can be obtained by testing multiple electronic devices. If the difference between the first light intensity and the second light intensity is too large, it indicates that the current position of the device to be charged has deviated. At this time, a first instruction can be output to prompt the user to move the device to be charged to the charging position, so that the user can promptly detect that the device to be charged is placed skewed and adjust the position of the device to be charged in time. Optionally, when it is detected that the difference between the first light intensity and the second light intensity meets the preset condition, the device to be charged is charged by the charging device. That is to say, if the difference between the first light intensity and the second light intensity meets the preset conditions, it proves that the current position of the device to be charged is in the charging position, and the contact between the device to be charged and the charging device is good, that is, the device to be charged has been placed "correctly" and can be charged normally.
