[0066] The example embodiments will be described in detail herein with reference to the attached drawings. The following description is made with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which like reference numerals represent like elements, unless otherwise indicated. The following description of example embodiments is 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.

[0067] To solve the problems in the related art, the present disclosure provides a protective shell, comprising: a color-changing part; a control module, connected with the color-changing part, configured to output a corresponding control signal to adjust a display state of the color-changing part; and a wireless receiving module, connected with the control module, configured to connect with a wireless transmitting module and supply power to the control module. In the structure of the present disclosure, after the protective shell is installed on an electronic device, the electronic device can supply power to the protective shell as the wireless transmitting module, so that the color-changing part of the protective shell can change color under the control of the control module, improving the aesthetic appearance and color change effect during use of the electronic device.

[0068] In one example embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 The protective shell in the present embodiment comprises: a color-changing part 10, a control module 20, and a wireless receiving module 30.

[0069] The control module 20 is connected with the color-changing part 10 and is configured to output a corresponding control signal to adjust a display state of the color-changing part 10. The wireless receiving module 30 is connected with the control module 20 and is configured to connect with a wireless transmitting module and supply power to the control module 20.

[0070] In the present embodiment, the color-changing part 10 can be an electrochromic device. The display state of the color-changing part 10 can include at least one of: an initial state of the color-changing part 10, a color-changing state, and a state of changing color and transparency.

[0071] The color-changing portion 10 can be located at a partial position of the protective case main body structure, or have the same area as the protective case main body structure. The structure of the protective case can at least include the following structures in the thickness direction of the electronic device: a first transparent substrate, a first conductive layer, an electrochromic material layer, a second conductive layer, and a second transparent substrate.

[0072] The structure layers can be connected by bonding. The first transparent substrate and the second transparent substrate can be transparent glass, and the first conductive layer and the second conductive layer can be ITO (indium tin oxide). The electrochromic material layer can reversibly change color and transparency under the action of an applied electric field. The electrochromic material can be an inorganic electrochromic material such as tungsten trioxide, or an organic electrochromic material such as a violet.

[0073] In this embodiment, the wireless transmission module can be a wireless transmission module in an electronic device with wireless reverse charging function, or a wireless charging base. In combination with the use scenario of the protective case, the wireless transmission module in the electronic device is taken as an example for description in this embodiment.

[0074] The protective case can be used to be sleeved on the electronic device to protect and beautify the electronic device. When the protective case is sleeved on the electronic device, the electronic device can turn on the wireless reverse charging function to supply power to the wireless receiving module 30 as the wireless transmission module under the condition that a preset condition is met or according to a preset operation instruction. The wireless receiving module 30 serves as an energy source for the control module 20 to transmit energy. At the same time, energy transmission also indicates that the protective case is in communication connection with the electronic device, and the control module 20 can control the color-changing portion 10 to change color or transparency, so as to adjust the display state of the color-changing portion 10.

[0075] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 The wireless receiving module 30 in this embodiment includes a first coil 301 and a charging management chip 302. The two ends of the first coil 301 are connected to the charging management chip 302, and the charging management chip 302 is connected to the control module 20.

[0076] In this embodiment, the first coil 301 is connected to the control module 20 through the charging management chip 302 to realize energy transmission and signal transmission.

[0077] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in Figures 1-2 The protective case in this embodiment further includes an electronic tag assembly 40 for identifying whether the protective case has a color-changing function.

[0078] In the embodiment, the electronic tag assembly 40 can be a chip identification or a bar code identification. The electronic tag assembly 40 can be pre-written with identification data, which contains an identification indicating whether the color changing function is available, and an identification of a suitable electronic device model of the protective case.

[0079] The electronic tag assembly 40 is arranged in the protective case, which facilitates the electronic device to identify the function type of the protective case and improves the communication efficiency between the protective case and the electronic device.

[0080] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in Figures 1-2 The electronic tag assembly 40 in the embodiment includes a second coil 401 and an NFC (Near Field Communication) chip 402, and the two ends of the second coil 401 are connected to the NFC chip 402.

[0081] In the embodiment, the NFC chip 402 records the identification information indicating whether the protective case has the color changing function. The electronic device can identify the relevant identification information by turning on the NFC function and approaching the NFC chip 402 on the protective case. The second coil 401 can be used to receive the signal of the approaching electronic device, which meets the communication requirement of the electronic device and the NFC chip 402.

[0082] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in Figures 1-3 The NFC chip 402 is located in the first part or the second part of the protective case. When the protective case is assembled with the electronic device, the first part corresponds to the NFC structure of the electronic device, and the second part is spaced apart from the NFC structure of the electronic device by a preset distance.

[0083] In one example, when the NFC chip 402 is located in the first part of the protective case, after the protective case is assembled on the electronic device, the NFC chip 402 is within the identification range of the NFC structure of the electronic device.

[0084] In this example, the NFC chip 402 can be identified by turning on the NFC function of the electronic device when the protective case is assembled with the electronic device. The NFC chip 402 is disconnected and stopped from being identified by turning off the NFC function of the electronic device.

[0085] In another example, when the NFC chip 402 is located in the second part of the protective case, after the protective case is assembled on the electronic device, the NFC chip 402 will be outside the identification range of the NFC structure of the electronic device.

[0086] In this example, before the protective case is assembled with the electronic device, the NFC function of the electronic device is turned on to pre-identify the NFC chip 402 to know whether the protective case has the color changing function. After the identification, the protective case is assembled with the electronic device.

[0087] In one example embodiment, the present disclosure also provides a method for controlling color change of a protective shell. The method of the present embodiment can be applied to the protective shell as described in the above embodiments.

[0088] As shown in Figure 4 the method of the present embodiment can include the following steps:

[0089] S410, determining a current state of the wireless receiving module.

[0090] S420, determining a corresponding control signal according to the current state of the wireless receiving module.

[0091] S430, outputting the control signal to the color changing part to adjust the display state of the color changing part.

[0092] In one example, the method of the present embodiment can be performed by a control module of the protective shell.

[0093] In step S410, the current state includes a connected state or a non-connected state.

[0094] As shown in Figures 1-3 the connected state, the wireless receiving module 30 is connected with the wireless transmitting module and energy transmission can be performed. In the non-connected state, the wireless receiving module 30 is not connected or disconnected with the wireless transmitting module. In combination with the above embodiments, the wireless transmitting module can be a structure in the electronic device, and when the protective shell is in the connected state, the wireless reverse charging function of the electronic device is enabled.

[0095] In one example, the present step includes: in response to the wireless receiving module receiving energy transmitted by the wireless transmitting module, determining that the wireless receiving module is in the connected state.

[0096] In the present example, the control module 20 can determine the state of the first coil 301 based on the communication with the charging management chip 302, thereby determining the connection state of the wireless receiving module 30.

[0097] In another example, the present step includes: in response to the wireless receiving module not receiving energy transmitted by the wireless transmitting module, determining that the wireless receiving module is in the non-connected state.

[0098] In step S420, the control module 20 can determine a corresponding control signal according to the different states of the wireless receiving module to control the color changing part 10.

[0099] In one example, the present step includes: in response to the wireless receiving module being in the connected state, determining a first control signal. In the present example, the first control signal is used to instruct or control the color changing part 10 to change color and / or change transparency.

[0100] In another example, the step comprises determining the second control signal in response to the wireless receiving module being in the non-connected state. In this example, the second control signal is used to represent the wireless transmitting module being disconnected or disconnected from the wireless transmitting module.

[0101] In step S430, the control module 20 controls the color-changing part 10 to adjust the display state of the color-changing part 10 by determining the control signal. The display state of the color-changing part 10 can include at least one of the initial state of the color-changing part 10, the color-changing state, and the color and transparency changing state.

[0102] In one example, the first control signal is output to the color-changing part to control the color-changing part to change the color and / or transparency.

[0103] In this example, when the control module 20 controls the color-changing part 10 to change the color and / or transparency, the control module 20 can also adjust the degree of color and / or transparency change of the color-changing part 10 by adjusting the voltage of the output signal.

[0104] In another example, the second control signal is output to the color-changing part to instruct the color-changing part to return to the initial state.

[0105] In this example, the control module 20 can control the color-changing part 10 to return to the initial state, i.e., the color and / or transparency unchanged state, in the non-connected state.

[0106] In one example, the method further comprises the following steps before step S410:

[0107] S400, receiving an identification feedback result based on the electronic tag assembly.

[0108] In this step, based on the communication with the electronic device, the electronic device can identify the electronic tag assembly in the protective shell to determine whether the protective shell has the color-changing function. The identification result can be fed back to the control module 20 based on the communication.

[0109] In one example, the method further comprises the following steps before step S410:

[0110] As shown in Figure 5 the method can comprise the following steps:

[0111] S510, in response to the preset condition being met, controlling the wireless charging function to be turned on to enable the wireless transmitting module of the electronic device to transmit energy.

[0112] S520, according to the preset operation instruction, control to close the wireless reverse charging function.

[0113] In this embodiment, the implementation of each step is described, but the order of the above two steps is not limited, and the order of the above two steps can be adjusted according to the interaction with the protective shell.

[0114] In step S510, the processor (such as an application processor AP) of the electronic device can control to open or close the wireless reverse charging function.

[0115] In one example, the processor can determine that the preset condition is met after identifying that the protective shell has a color changing function, and control to open the wireless reverse charging function. After opening the wireless reverse charging function, the wireless transmission module of the electronic device can be in communication connection with the wireless receiving module 30 of the protective shell, and provide energy for the wireless receiving module 30.

[0116] In this example, the control module 20 of the protective shell can determine that the wireless receiving module 30 is in a connected state according to the current state. In the connected state, the control module 20 can control the color changing part 10 of the protective shell to change color and / or transparency.

[0117] In another example, the preset condition is determined to be met in response to the state of the electronic device being a preset state. The preset state includes an incoming call state. The preset state can be a state for customization, in addition to the incoming call state, and can also include a notification message state, a call state, etc.

[0118] In step S520, the preset operation instruction can be a touch instruction or a voice instruction issued by the user to close the wireless reverse charging function. The preset operation instruction can also be an operation instruction for ending the preset state. For example, in the incoming call state, the preset operation instruction can also be an operation instruction for answering the phone; for example, in the call state, the preset operation instruction can also be an operation instruction for hanging up the phone.

[0119] After the processor closes the wireless reverse charging function, the communication and energy transmission between the electronic device and the wireless receiving module 30 are disconnected, and the control module 20 of the protective shell can determine that the wireless receiving module 30 is in a non-connected state. In the non-connected state, the control module 20 can control the color changing part 10 of the protective shell to return to the initial state, that is, the state of not changing color and / or transparency.

[0120] In one example embodiment, the present embodiment can further include the following steps before step S510:

[0121] S501, open the identification function, and obtain the identification information represented by the electronic tag component.

[0122] S502, in response to the identification information representing that the protective shell has a color changing function, determine that the preset condition is met.

[0123] S503, in response to the identification failure or the identification information indicating that the protective case does not have the color changing function, outputting preset prompt information.

[0124] In step S501, the identification function can be an NFC function or a function of scanning and identifying a barcode. In this embodiment, the electronic tag component is taken as an NFC component, and the identification function is taken as an NFC function.

[0125] The electronic device can open the NFC function to identify the identification information in the NFC chip 402 of the protective case, and the processor acquires the identification information. The identification information indicates whether the protective case has the color changing function.

[0126] In step S502, the processor can perform different operations according to the information indicated by the identification information.

[0127] In this step, when the identification information indicates that the protective case has the color changing function, the processor determines that the preset condition is met at this time, and can perform the step of controlling to turn on the wireless reverse charging function in step S510.

[0128] In step S503, when the identification time exceeds the preset time, the processor can determine that the identification fails.

[0129] The preset prompt information can be text prompt information, picture prompt information or voice prompt information. For example, the processor can control to display text prompt information or picture prompt information on the interface to prompt the user that the current protective case does not have the color changing function. For another example, the processor can control to play a voice prompt message to prompt the user that the current protective case does not have the color changing function.

[0130] In this embodiment, the following steps can also be included:

[0131] S504, according to the identification information, sending a corresponding feedback result to the control module. In this step, according to the identification result of the identification information, the processor can send a corresponding feedback result to the control module. Thus, the control module can learn the communication state in time, and improve the communication efficiency.

[0132] In one exemplary embodiment, the following steps can also be included in this embodiment:

[0133] S505, after acquiring the identification information, closing the identification function.

[0134] In this embodiment, the NFC chip 402 of the protective shell is located in the first part of the protective shell. In this case, the NFC chip 402 is located in the identification range of the NFC structure of the electronic device in the state of the protective shell and the electronic device. In this scenario, after the protective shell is installed on the electronic device, the NFC chip 402 will be identified as long as the NFC function of the electronic device is turned on. After the identification information is obtained, the NFC function is turned off, which can effectively avoid the problem of repeated identification of the electronic device.

[0135] To further describe the method of the embodiment of the present disclosure, two specific examples will be described below. Figures 1-3

[0136] Example one: as shown in Figure 6 , the method of this example can include the following methods:
