[0030] The exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein with reference to the attached drawings. In the following description, the same numbers refer to the same elements throughout the drawings. The following exemplary embodiments are not representative of all embodiments consistent with the present disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of the present disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0031] During charging of a terminal, the temperature gradually increases as the charging process proceeds. Charging at a high temperature can damage the performance of the terminal battery, affect the service life of the battery, and in severe cases, damage the battery, and there is a possibility of fire or explosion of the terminal, endangering the user's safety.

[0032] During charging, measures need to be taken to dissipate heat, for example, heat dissipation can be in the form of natural heat dissipation or air cooling heat dissipation. When the heat generation is large, air cooling is used to dissipate heat and carry away the heat generated by the charging base and the terminal, maintaining a suitable temperature during charging. The air outlet direction of the heat dissipation device is fixedly arranged, and when the user uses the terminal, the holding posture is different, and when the heat dissipation device blows hot air to the user's holding position, it affects the user experience.

[0033] Thus, the present disclosure provides a heat dissipation control method, which can control the heat dissipation of the charging base to blow air in a determined direction to avoid affecting the terminal in use.

[0034] Figure 1 is a flowchart of a heat dissipation control method according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, applied to a terminal connected with a charging base, and the charging base is provided with a heat sink, such as Figure 1 As shown, the heat dissipation control method includes the following steps.

[0035] In step S101, in the case that the charging base charges the terminal, the target air outlet direction of the heat sink of the charging base is determined based on the use state of the terminal.

[0036] In step S102, the air outlet direction of the heat sink is adjusted to the target air outlet direction for air outlet.

[0037] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the terminal is charging, it is connected with the charging base, which can be a magnetic charging base. The connection between the charging base and the terminal is adsorptive, and they are tightly attached to each other. The charging part realizes accurate alignment to avoid the influence of the relative displacement between the terminal and the charging base on the charging effect during charging. When the charging base charges the terminal, the heat generation of the terminal and the charging base increases with the increase of temperature. The heat sink can be used for heat dissipation to reduce the temperature of the terminal and the charging base. The heat sink can be a fan. The target air outlet direction of the heat sink of the charging base is determined based on the use state of the terminal, and the air outlet direction of the heat sink is adjusted to the target air outlet direction for air outlet.

[0038] According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, in the case that the charging base charges the terminal, the target air outlet direction of the heat sink of the charging base is determined based on the use state of the terminal, and the heat sink is controlled to blow air in the target air outlet direction. The air outlet direction of the heat sink during heat dissipation can be turned to a specific direction according to the use state of the terminal, and the control of the air outlet direction of the heat sink is realized.

[0039] Figure 2 is a flowchart of a heat dissipation control method according to another exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in Figure 2 The heat dissipation control method includes the following steps.

[0040] In step S201, in the case that the charging base charges the terminal, the target air outlet direction of the heat sink of the charging base is determined to be the direction of the counterweight module in response to the use state of the terminal being a horizontal screen use state or a vertical screen use state.

[0041] In step S202, the air outlet direction of the heat sink is adjusted to the target air outlet direction for air outlet.

[0042] In this embodiment of the disclosure, when the charging dock is charging the terminal, the terminal can be used in landscape mode, such as when using landscape games or playing videos. In this case, the terminal's display orientation is landscape. The terminal can also be used in portrait mode, such as when using social instant messaging or shopping applications.

[0043] In one embodiment, the heat sink may include an air guide channel, which includes a circular rotating shaft. The circular rotating shaft is capable of rotating freely around its center. The circular rotating shaft is equipped with a counterweight module and an air outlet, and the air generated by the heat sink is blown out through the air outlet. When the angle between the charging base and the direction of gravity is less than a preset angle, i.e., in a scenario where the terminal is used upright or nearly upright, the rotation of the circular rotating shaft controls the counterweight module to be positioned at the bottom of the charging base under the influence of gravity, and controls the heat sink to blow air through the air outlet in the direction of the counterweight module. The direction of the counterweight module is the direction of the line connecting the center of the counterweight module and the geometric center of the charging base. It can be understood that when there are multiple counterweight modules, the intersection of the line connecting the centers of the multiple counterweight modules and the axis of symmetry of the charging base is taken as the center of the multiple counterweight modules.

[0044] According to the embodiments of this disclosure, when the charging dock is charging the terminal, in response to whether the terminal is in landscape or portrait mode, the target air outlet direction of the charging dock's heat sink is determined to be the direction where the counterweight module is located, thereby controlling the air outlet direction of the charging dock's heat sink.

[0045] Figures 3a-3b This is a schematic diagram of the air outlet direction of a heat dissipation control device according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, with reference to... Figure 3a and Figure 3b In scenarios where the terminal is used upright or nearly upright, the user's grip is most likely located on the shorter side of the terminal when the terminal is in landscape mode. Conversely, in portrait mode, the user's grip is most likely located on the longer side. The airflow direction of the radiator should be controlled according to the diagram, i.e., parallel to the side where the user's grip is located, dissipating airflow along one or both sides for heat dissipation.

If the included angle between the terminal and the gravity direction is less than a preset angle, that is, the terminal is in a vertical use or an approximately vertical use, the weight of the charging module controls the heat sink to dissipate air along the direction of the weight module under the action of gravity. The direction of the weight module is the direction of the connection line between the center of the weight module and the geometric center of the charging base. The direction of the air outlet can be the direction of the weight module, or the direction of the reverse extension line of the direction of the weight module, or the air is dissipated along the direction of the weight module and the opposite direction of the direction of the weight module at the same time, so as to further improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the heat sink.

[0055] According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, in the case that the charging base charges the terminal, if the included angle between the charging base and the gravity direction is less than the preset angle, the air outlet of the heat sink is controlled to blow air in the direction of the line connecting the geometric center of the counterweight module and the charging base, so that the air outlet direction of the heat sink during heat dissipation is turned to a specific direction, and the control of the air outlet direction of the heat sink is realized.

[0056] Figure 5 is a flow chart of a method for determining a target air outlet direction of a heat sink of a charging base based on a use state of a terminal according to another exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in Figure 5 The method comprises the following steps.

[0057] In step S301, in response to the terminal being in a user-held use state, the terminal holding position when the user uses the terminal is determined.

[0058] In step S302, the target air outlet direction of the heat sink of the charging base is determined as an air outlet direction away from the holding position of the terminal.

[0059] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the terminal is charged by the charging base, the terminal is in a user-held use state, and the terminal holding position when the user uses the terminal is determined. When the user uses the terminal and the terminal is charged by the charging base, as the charging proceeds, the heat generation of the terminal and the charging base increases, and the heat sink arranged inside the charging base can be used for heat dissipation to reduce the temperature of the terminal. As the temperature increases, the temperature of the air exhaust of the heat sink increases, and the user can obviously perceive the increase of the temperature of the exhaust air. In order to avoid the air blown by the heat sink from blowing to the holding position of the user, the air outlet direction of the heat sink is adjusted to the target air outlet direction away from the holding position of the terminal for air outlet.

[0060] According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, in the case that the charging base charges the terminal, based on the terminal holding position when the user uses the terminal, the air outlet direction of the heat sink is adjusted to the air outlet direction away from the holding position of the terminal, the control of the air outlet direction of the heat sink is realized, and the air blown by the heat sink is avoided from blowing to the hand of the user holding the terminal, so as to improve the user experience.

[0061] In an implementation manner, the terminal communicates with the charging base, the charging base obtains the terminal holding position information sent by the terminal, determines the target air outlet direction of the heat sink of the charging base as the air outlet direction away from the holding position, and adjusts the air outlet direction of the heat sink to the target air outlet direction for air outlet. The heat sink of the charging base can include a wind guide groove, the direction of the air outlet can be controlled by a motor or other power structure, so as to adjust the air outlet direction of the heat sink to the target air outlet direction for air outlet.

[0062] It can be understood that the terminal communicates with the charging base can be achieved by wireless charging communication, contact charging communication, Bluetooth communication or NFC communication and the like.

[0063] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, when the terminal charges using the charging base, the terminal determines the terminal holding position information, and the holding position information is used to instruct the charging base to determine the air outlet direction of the heat sink.

[0064] In an embodiment, the holding position information of the user holding the terminal is determined by using the strength of the terminal antenna signal. It can be understood that the terminal can determine the antenna position set by the terminal. When the user holds the terminal, the contact of the hand with the terminal will affect the antenna signal strength. When the terminal antenna signal strength changes, the holding position of the terminal is determined as the approximate position of the antenna set position.

[0065] In an embodiment, the holding position information of the terminal is determined based on the biological sensing signal of the terminal. The biological sensing sensor set by the terminal, such as a pyroelectric sensor, a capacitive sensor, an electrode sensor, etc., can be used to determine the holding position information of the terminal.

[0066] In an embodiment, the holding position information of the terminal is determined based on the screen display direction of the terminal. The screen display direction of the terminal in use can be determined by the gravity sensor set by the terminal, or the screen display direction of the terminal is determined based on the obtained current landscape display or portrait display state of the terminal. Based on the screen of the terminal being in landscape display direction or portrait display direction, the holding position of the terminal is determined as the left and right sides relative to the screen display.

[0067] It can be understood that the holding position information of the terminal can also be determined based on multiple of the antenna signal of the terminal, the biological sensing signal of the terminal and the screen display direction of the terminal, so as to make the determination of the holding position information of the terminal more accurate and provide guarantee for controlling the air outlet direction of the heat sink.

[0068] According to the embodiments of the present disclosure, when the terminal charges using the charging base, the holding position information of the terminal is determined based on at least one of the antenna signal of the terminal, the biological sensing signal of the terminal and the screen display direction of the terminal, and the target air outlet direction of the heat sink of the charging base is determined as the air outlet direction avoiding the holding position of the terminal, so as to control the air outlet direction of the heat sink and avoid the air outlet of the heat sink blowing to the hand of the user holding the terminal, thereby improving the user experience.

[0069] In an embodiment, the terminal's holding position information is determined based on a biological sensing signal of the terminal, which can be acquired by a biological sensing sensor provided on the terminal. The biological sensing sensor can be, for example, a pyroelectric sensor, a capacitive sensor, an electrode sensor, etc. The terminal can be provided with multiple biological sensing sensors, which can acquire multiple biological sensing signals. In the multiple biological sensing signals, the biological sensing signals have different strengths, and the position where the biological sensing signal meets a preset condition has a low possibility of having a biological object (i.e., a human hand). The position where the biological sensing signal meets the preset condition is determined as the holding position of the terminal. The terminal is charged using a charging base, and the target air outlet direction of the heat sink of the charging base is determined as an air outlet direction that avoids the holding position of the terminal. The control of the air outlet direction of the heat sink is achieved, and the heat sink is prevented from blowing air to the user's hand that holds the terminal. The preset condition can be, for example, that the biological sensing signal has the lowest strength, or that the biological sensing signal has a strength lower than a preset threshold value within a period of time, or that the average value of the biological sensing signal within a period of time is lower than a preset threshold value, etc. The preset condition can be adjusted according to the parameters of the biological sensing sensor and the heat dissipation requirement.

[0070] Figure 6a 、 Figure 6b FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a charging base biological sensing sensor arrangement according to an example embodiment of the present disclosure. The charging base is provided with a biological sensing sensor, which can be one or multiple. The holding position information of the terminal is determined based on the sensing data of the one or multiple biological sensing sensors. The air outlet direction of the heat sink of the charging base is determined as an air outlet direction that avoids the holding position, and the heat sink is controlled to blow air according to the determined air outlet direction.

[0071] According to the embodiments of the present disclosure, in the case where the terminal is charged by the charging base, the air outlet direction of the heat sink of the charging base is determined as an air outlet direction that avoids the holding position, and the heat sink is controlled to blow air according to the determined air outlet direction. The control of the air outlet direction of the heat sink during heat dissipation of the charging base is achieved, and the user is prevented from being affected by the blowing hot air when using the terminal, thereby improving the user experience.
