[0002] At present, when charging a wireless headset charging box via USB or wirelessly charging the wireless headset charging box, if the ambient temperature of the headset in the charging box is too high, the headset will automatically stop charging. At this time, the charging box mistakenly believes that the headset automatically stops charging because the headset is fully charged, and stops outputting power voltage to the contact end between the charging box and the headset. When the ambient temperature in the charging box returns to normal, the charging box will also remain in a state of no charging voltage output.

[0003] In the related art, in order to solve the above problem, a charging mechanism is set in the charging box to continuously output charging voltage to the earphone as long as it is in the wired charging state or the wireless charging state.

[0036] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0037] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that descriptions involving orientations, such as up, down, front, back, left, right, etc., and orientations or positional relationships indicated are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0038] In the description of the present invention, "several" means more than one, "many" means more than two, "greater than", "less than", "exceed", etc. are understood to exclude the number itself, and "above", "below", "within", etc. are understood to include the number itself. If there is a description of "first" or "second", it is only used for the purpose of distinguishing technical features, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features or implicitly indicating the order of the indicated technical features.

[0039] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly defined, terms such as setting, installing, connecting, etc. should be understood in a broad sense, and technicians in the relevant technical field can reasonably determine the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific content of the technical solution.

[0040] In the description of the present invention, the description with reference to the terms "one embodiment", "some embodiments", "illustrative embodiments", "examples", "specific examples", or "some examples" means that the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described in conjunction with the embodiment or example are included in at least one embodiment or example of the present invention. In this specification, the schematic representation of the above terms does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described may be combined in any one or more embodiments or examples in a suitable manner.

[0041] In the related art, the following two methods are used to solve the problem that the wireless headset cannot enter the shutdown state when the charging box is in the wired charging state or the wireless charging state: First, a communication chip for communication is set in the wireless headset and the charging box respectively, and the wireless headset sends its own charging status to the charging box through the communication chip. The charging box receives the charging status according to the communication chip, and determines whether to output the charging voltage to the wireless headset according to the charging status. Second, the wireless headset is always in the query state, and when the wireless headset finds that its own battery power is lower than the preset threshold, the wireless headset restarts charging.

[0042] However, in the first method, both the wireless headset and the charging box need to have hardware communication, which increases the cost of the wireless headset charging system. In the second method, since the wireless headset is in a state of repeated charging, the life of the battery in the wireless headset is affected, and it is easy to give the user the illusion that the wireless headset is not fully charged.

[0043] Based on this, an embodiment of the present application provides a charging control method, which relies on software design to solve the problem that the wireless headset cannot enter the shutdown state when the charging box is in the wired charging state or the wireless charging state without adding hardware design, thereby reducing the standby power consumption of the wireless headset.

[0044] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The embodiment of the present application provides a charging control method, which is applied to a wireless headset charging system, and the wireless headset charging system includes a wireless headset 100 and a charging box 200. The charging box 200 is used to accommodate the wireless headset 100, and the charging box 200 includes a spring pin, which is used to electrically connect to the wireless headset 100 to charge the wireless headset 100.

[0045] It is understandable that the charging box 200 includes a receiving cavity. When the wireless headset 100 is placed in the receiving cavity, the wireless headset 100 is electrically connected to the spring pins provided in the receiving cavity, thereby obtaining the charging voltage provided by the battery inside the charging box 200.

[0046] Reference Figure 2 In some embodiments, the charging control method includes but is not limited to steps S210 to S220.

[0047] S210: The charging box obtains a first charging state of the wireless headset;

[0048] S220. If the first charging state indicates that the wireless headset is fully charged, the charging box stops outputting the charging voltage to put the wireless headset into a shutdown state.

[0049] Specifically, the charging box obtains a first charging state for characterizing the charging state of the wireless headset through its own power supply state, for example: the charging box obtains the first charging state through its own power consumption; or, the charging box obtains the charging current of the wireless headset through the spring pin, thereby determining the first charging state according to the charging current. When the first charging state indicates that the wireless headset is fully charged, the charging box stops outputting the charging voltage to the spring pin, so that the wireless headset can enter the shutdown state, thereby reducing the standby power consumption of the wireless headset. It can be understood that when the charging box has no charging voltage output, the method for the wireless headset to automatically enter the shutdown state can refer to the control method in the relevant technology, and the embodiment of the present application is not specifically limited to this.

[0050] In the following, in combination with the contents in the above embodiments, two embodiments of stopping outputting the charging voltage corresponding to the first charging state acquisition methods are specifically described respectively.

[0051] First, the embodiment corresponding to the charging box obtaining the first charging state through its own power consumption is specifically described. Figure 3In some embodiments, step S210 includes but is not limited to sub-steps S310 to S320.

[0052] S310, the charging box obtains a first power consumption;

[0053] S320: The charging box obtains a first charging state according to the first power consumption.

[0054] Specifically, the charging box obtains its own first power consumption to confirm whether the charging box is fully charged. For example, when the charging box obtains the charging current of the wireless headset according to the first power consumption and is less than 0.1C, it is determined that the first charging state indicates that the wireless headset is fully charged. When the charging power of the wireless headset obtained by the charging box according to the first power consumption is greater than 0.1C, it is determined that the first charging state indicates that the wireless headset is not fully charged.

[0055] Reference Figure 4 In some embodiments, step S220 includes but is not limited to sub-steps S410 to S440.

[0056] S410, the charging box obtains a second charging state; wherein the second charging state is used to represent a connection state between the charging box and the external power source;

[0057] S420: If the second charging state indicates charging, the charging box stops outputting the charging voltage and outputs the charging voltage after a preset time interval;

[0058] S430: The charging box obtains a second power consumption;

[0059] S440: If the second power consumption is less than the preset threshold, the charging box stops outputting the charging voltage, so that the wireless headset enters a shutdown state;

[0060] S450: If the second power consumption is greater than the preset threshold, the charging box continues to output the charging voltage.

[0061] It is understandable that when the first charging state of the wireless headset is determined to be fully charged through the above method, the charging box judges its own charging state (i.e., the second charging state) to avoid the situation where the temperature of the wireless headset is abnormal due to the charging box being in the charging state, thereby causing the charging current of the wireless headset to be less than 0.1C (i.e., causing the first charging state to be fully charged). Specifically, the second charging state can be determined by the charging box detecting whether an external power source is received, or by other means. If it is determined that the charging box is in the charging state, that is, the second charging state indicates charging, the charging box stops outputting the charging voltage to the spring pin, and outputs the charging voltage to the spring pin after a preset time interval. The current charging current of the wireless headset is detected by the second power consumption of the charging box.

[0062] If the current charging current is still less than 0.1C, it is confirmed that the actual first charging state of the wireless headset is fully charged. At this time, the charging box stops outputting the charging voltage to the spring pin, so that the wireless headset can enter the shutdown state, thereby reducing the standby power consumption of the wireless headset.

[0063] If the current charging current is greater than 0.1C, it means that the wireless headset was previously charged with a current less than 0.1C due to abnormal temperature, so the actual first charging state of the wireless headset is not fully charged. At this time, the charging box keeps outputting charging voltage to the spring pin.

[0064] In some embodiments, step S220 further includes sub-steps:

[0065] S460: If the second charging state indicates that the device is not charged, the charging box stops outputting the charging voltage to turn off the wireless headset.

[0066] Specifically, if it is determined that the charging box is in an uncharged state, that is, the second charging state indicates that it is not charged, then the actual first charging state of the wireless headset is fully charged. At this time, the charging box stops outputting the charging voltage to the spring pin, so that the wireless headset can enter the shutdown state, thereby reducing the standby power consumption of the wireless headset.

[0067] Next, the embodiment in which the charging box obtains the charging current of the wireless headset through the spring pin, and determines the first charging state according to the charging current is specifically described. Figure 5 In some embodiments, step S210 includes but is not limited to sub-steps S510 to S520.

[0068] S510, the charging box obtains charging current according to the spring pin;

[0069] S520: The charging box obtains a charging time and a charging interval according to the charging current, and obtains a first charging state according to the charging time and the charging interval.

[0070] It is understandable that when the wireless headset is fully charged and the charging current is less than 0.1C, the wireless headset will perform a 1s charging, 1s stopping charging cycle; when the wireless headset is due to abnormal temperature or other reasons causing the charging current to be less than 0.1C, the wireless headset will only perform other operations such as stopping charging, that is, it will not perform the above cycle. Therefore, the charging box obtains the charging current of the wireless headset through the spring needle, and the charging box records the duration of the charging current (i.e., the charging duration), as well as the charging interval between the two charging currents, to determine whether the wireless headset is in the above cycle based on the charging duration and the charging interval. When it is determined that the wireless headset is in the above cycle, it is determined that the first charging state indicates that the wireless headset is fully charged, and the charging box stops outputting the charging voltage to the spring needle.

[0071] The embodiment of the present application also provides an electronic device, which includes: at least one processor, and a memory connected to the at least one processor in communication. The memory stores a program, and the program is executed by the at least one processor, so that when the at least one processor executes the instruction, the charging control method described in any of the above embodiments is implemented.

[0072] An embodiment of the present application provides a storage medium storing processor executable instructions, where the processor executable instructions are used to: execute the charging control method described in any of the above embodiments.

[0073] The device embodiments described above are merely illustrative, and the units described as separate components may or may not be physically separated, that is, they may be located in one place or distributed on multiple network units. Some or all of the modules may be selected according to actual needs to achieve the purpose of the solution of this embodiment.

[0074] It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that all or some of the steps and systems in the disclosed method above may be implemented as software, firmware, hardware and appropriate combinations thereof. Some physical components or all physical components may be implemented as software executed by a processor, such as a central processing unit, a digital signal processor or a microprocessor, or may be implemented as hardware, or may be implemented as an integrated circuit, such as an application specific integrated circuit. Such software may be distributed on a computer-readable medium, which may include a computer storage medium (or a non-transitory medium) and a communication medium (or a temporary medium). As known to those skilled in the art, the term computer storage medium includes volatile and non-volatile, removable and non-removable media implemented in any method or technology for storing information (such as computer-readable instructions, data structures, program modules or other data). Computer storage media include, but are not limited to, RAM, ROM, EEPROM, flash memory or other memory technologies, CD-ROM, digital versatile disks (DVD) or other optical disk storage, magnetic cassettes, magnetic tapes, disk storage or other magnetic storage devices, or any other medium that may be used to store desired information and may be accessed by a computer. Furthermore, it is well known to those skilled in the art that communication media typically embodies computer readable instructions, data structures, program modules, or other data in a modulated data signal such as a carrier wave or other transport mechanism, and may include any information delivery media.

[0075] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present application is not limited to the above embodiments. Various changes can be made within the knowledge of ordinary technicians in the relevant technical field without departing from the purpose of the present application. In addition, the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.
