[0035] Here, exemplary embodiments will be described in detail, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The implementations described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all implementations consistent with the present disclosure.

[0036] The charging method provided in the present disclosure is applied to scenarios of charging a terminal, for example, to scenarios of charging a terminal with a foldable screen.

[0037] At present, when charging a terminal with a foldable screen, the user can choose to charge in a folded state or an unfolded state. Among them, the folded state corresponds to the charging strategy in the folded state. The unfolded state corresponds to the charging strategy in the unfolded state. Therefore, when charging a terminal with a foldable screen, it can be charged with the corresponding charging strategy according to whether the current state of the foldable screen is a folded state or an unfolded state. Among them, the charging strategy of the terminal with a foldable screen in different states can be the factory setting value.

[0038] In one scenario, the charging strategy corresponding to the unfolded state can be: when charging with a charging current greater than the threshold, the charging speed is increased as much as possible while ensuring heat dissipation. Among them, when charging with a charging current greater than the threshold, if the temperature exceeds a certain temperature limit, it can be changed to charging with a smaller current. By reducing the charging current, the temperature can be controlled not to continue to rise, thereby preventing the terminal with a folding screen from being in a high temperature state for a long time, which will affect the service life, damage internal devices, accelerate the aging process of the terminal itself, and shorten the service life.

[0039] In one scenario, the charging strategy corresponding to the folded state may be to charge the terminal with a charging current less than a threshold value to ensure that the temperature is not too high.

[0040] Among them, the charging strategies of the terminal with a foldable screen in different states can be the same or different.

[0041] Among them, when the charging strategy corresponding to the folded state is the same as the charging strategy corresponding to the unfolded state, the terminal with a foldable screen will not distinguish the current state of the terminal with a foldable screen when charging, and will use the same charging strategy for charging.

[0042] In one scenario, when the charging strategy corresponding to the folded state is the same as the charging strategy corresponding to the unfolded state, the terminal with a foldable screen can use a charging current greater than a threshold for charging in the unfolded state and the folded state, and increase the charging speed as much as possible while ensuring heat dissipation.

[0043] In one scenario, when the charging strategy corresponding to the folded state is the same as the charging strategy corresponding to the unfolded state, the terminal with a foldable screen can be charged with a charging current less than a threshold in the unfolded state and the folded state to ensure that the temperature does not become too high.

[0044] Among them, when the charging strategy corresponding to the folded state is different from the charging strategy corresponding to the unfolded state, the terminal with a foldable screen adopts the charging strategy supported by the unfolded state in the unfolded state; and adopts the charging strategy supported by the folded state in the folded state.

[0045] When charging a terminal with a foldable screen, the user can choose to charge in the unfolded state or the folded state. The charging strategies supported in different charging states can provide different charging performances for the terminal. Through the charging method provided by the present invention, the terminal sends a prompt message to prompt the terminal to change the charging state, thereby prompting the user to charge in a charging posture with higher charging performance, thereby improving the charging performance of the charging device and enhancing the user experience during the charging process.

[0046] Figure 1 is a flow chart of a charging method for a terminal according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 1 As shown, the charging method is used in a terminal, which is a terminal with a folding screen. The charging method includes the following steps:

[0047] In step S11, during the charging process of the terminal, the current state of the folding screen of the terminal is obtained.

[0048] Among them, the current state of the folding screen includes an unfolded state or a folded state.

[0049] In step S12, a prompt message is issued based on the current state of the folding screen and the charging strategy.

[0050] Among them, the charging strategy may be a charging strategy supported by the folding screen in different states.

[0051] Among them, the charging strategies supported by the folding screen in different states can be the same charging strategy

[0052] Among them, the charging strategies supported by the folding screen in different states can be different charging strategies.

[0053] Among them, the different charging strategies may be a charging strategy corresponding to the unfolded state and a charging strategy corresponding to the folded state.

[0054] In the disclosed embodiment, the prompt information sent by the terminal is used to prompt the state of the folding screen to be changed. The change of the state of the folding screen can be changed from the folded state to the unfolded state, or from the unfolded state to the folded state.

[0055] Among them, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, when no prompt information is issued, it can be determined that there is no need to change the state, and the existing charging state is maintained for charging.

[0056] In the disclosed embodiment, the prompt information sent by the terminal is used to prompt and guide the user to change the state of the folding screen. The prompt information can be a pop-up window or a vibrating pop-up window, and the prompt method is not limited here.

[0057] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, a terminal with a foldable screen can determine the charging strategies supported by the foldable screen in different states.

[0058] Among them, the method for determining the charging strategy supported by the folding screen in different states may include: determining the charging strategy supported by the folding screen in different states based on the charging logic preset at the factory of the terminal with the folding screen.

[0059] Among them, the factory preset charging logic of the terminal with a foldable screen can be: the charging strategy supported by the foldable screen in different states is the same charging strategy.

[0060] Among them, the factory preset charging logic of the terminal with a foldable screen may be: the charging strategies supported by the foldable screen in different states are different charging strategies. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal with a foldable screen has different heat dissipation characteristics in the folded state and the unfolded state. The unfolded state has a larger area than the folded state, and thus has better heat dissipation characteristics. Therefore, the unfolded state has a better heat dissipation state than the folded state, and better charging performance can be achieved. The present disclosure sends a prompt message to prompt the change of the foldable screen state according to the current state of the foldable screen and the charging strategies supported by the foldable screen in different states when the terminal is charging, thereby prompting the user to adopt a charging posture that improves the charging performance for charging, thereby improving the charging performance of the charging device and improving the user experience during the charging process.

[0061] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when charging a terminal with a foldable screen, it is determined whether the foldable screen is currently in a folded state or an unfolded state, and it is determined whether the charging strategy corresponding to the folded state of the terminal with the foldable screen is the same as the charging strategy corresponding to the unfolded state, and then based on the current state and the charging strategy, the terminal sends a prompt message.

[0062] In a charging method for a terminal provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure, the charging method is described by taking the case where the terminal is in a folded state and the charging strategies supported by the terminal in different states are the same as an example.

[0063] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the terminal with a foldable screen is in a folded state and the charging strategies supported by the terminal in different states are the same, the charging performance parameters of the terminal are obtained. Based on the obtained charging performance parameters, the terminal issues a prompt message.

[0064] Figure 2 is a flowchart of a charging method according to an exemplary embodiment, in which the current state is a folded state and the charging strategy is the same. Figure 2 As shown, the charging method is used in a terminal, which is a terminal with a folding screen. The charging method includes the following steps:

[0065] In step S21, it is determined that the charging strategies supported by the folding screen in different states are the same, and the current state of the folding screen of the terminal is obtained as a folded state.

[0066] In step S22, the charging performance parameters of the terminal are determined.

[0067] In an example of the present disclosure, the terminal charging performance parameters may be temperature, charging power, etc., and whether the folding screen state needs to be changed is comprehensively considered based on the temperature, charging power, etc.

[0068] The temperature involved in the embodiments of the present disclosure may be a temperature representing the terminal when charging, a virtual temperature of the terminal, or a battery temperature.

[0069] Among them, the amount of electricity involved in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be understood as the amount of electricity that has been charged by the terminal.

[0070] In step S23, a prompt message is issued based on the charging performance parameter.

[0071] It should be understood that in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the charging strategies supported by the folding screen in different states are the same, and when the current state of the folding screen is the folded state, it is determined based on the charging performance parameters whether to issue a prompt message or not.

[0072] In some scenarios, the prompt information is the same or similar to the prompt information in the above-mentioned embodiment. Based on this, the role of sending the prompt information in this embodiment is the same or similar to the role of sending the prompt information in the above-mentioned embodiment. Therefore, the same or similar steps will not be described repeatedly here, and the relevant content can refer to the relevant description of the process of sending the prompt information in the above-mentioned embodiment.

[0073] Among them, if the temperature of the terminal with a folding screen is too high, it will affect the service life of the terminal. Therefore, when charging a terminal with a folding screen, the temperature needs to be maintained within a certain temperature threshold. When the temperature is used as a charging performance parameter, if the temperature exceeds the temperature threshold, a prompt can be issued in time to change the current state of the folding screen, so that the folding screen has a larger heat dissipation area and better heat dissipation performance, thereby avoiding excessive terminal temperature and causing damage to the terminal.

[0074] In the disclosed embodiment, when the folding screen is in the folded state and the terminal is being charged, due to the poor heat dissipation effect of the terminal screen, the user can be prompted to change to the unfolded state to improve the heat dissipation performance of the terminal, reduce the terminal temperature, and provide the user with a good charging experience.

[0075] When the folding screen is in the folded state, it can be determined based on the charging performance parameters of the terminal whether the folding state needs to be changed, and then determine whether to issue a prompt message. For example, the charging performance includes the temperature of the terminal. If the temperature of the terminal is within the acceptable range for the user and the charging speed is not affected, there is no need to change to the unfolded state in this case. For another example, if the temperature exceeds the temperature threshold, it is necessary to reduce the charging current, thereby reducing the heat generated by charging, thereby reducing the terminal temperature. In this case, the charging speed of the terminal will be affected, so it is necessary to send a prompt message to the user to prompt the user to change the state of the folding screen, and switch the terminal with a folding screen from a folded state to an unfolded state, so that the terminal has relatively good heat dissipation performance, which can reduce the temperature and will not trigger the temperature threshold for current adjustment, thereby ensuring the charging speed.

[0076] In a charging method for a terminal provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure, when the terminal is in a folded state and the charging strategies supported by the terminal are the same, the charging performance parameter is taken as temperature to illustrate the above method.

[0077] Figure 3 is a flow chart of a method for determining whether to issue a prompt message based on temperature according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 3 As shown, the charging method is used in a terminal, which is a terminal with a folding screen. The charging method includes the following steps:

[0078] In step S31, during the charging process of the terminal with a foldable screen, the temperature is obtained.

[0079] The temperature is the current temperature of the terminal with a foldable screen, or the temperature represents the temperature of the terminal with a foldable screen when charging, which can be the virtual temperature of the terminal or the temperature of the battery of the terminal.

[0080] In step S32, it is determined whether the temperature is greater than a temperature threshold.

[0081] It should be noted that the temperature threshold can be adjusted according to actual needs. Here, the specific value of the temperature threshold is not limited.

[0082] In step S33, if the temperature is greater than the temperature threshold, the terminal with a foldable screen sends a prompt message.

[0083] In step S34, if the temperature is less than or equal to the temperature threshold, the terminal with a foldable screen does not issue a prompt message.

[0084] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the terminal with a foldable screen is in a folded state and the charging strategies supported by different states are the same, the temperature is obtained as a charging performance parameter, and then based on the temperature, the terminal issues a prompt message. If the temperature is greater than the temperature threshold, the terminal issues a prompt message. If the terminal temperature is less than or equal to the temperature threshold, the terminal does not issue a prompt message.

[0085] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, if the temperature threshold is set to T1, if the current temperature is t1 degrees, if t1 ≤ T1, the terminal does not issue a prompt message. If the current temperature is t2, if t2> T1, the terminal issues a prompt message, which is used to prompt the folding screen to change from the current state to the unfolded state. For example, T1 can be 37 degrees.

[0086] In one example, when the temperature is higher than a certain threshold (for example, 37 degrees), text will be displayed on the mobile phone interface to prompt the user to unfold the phone to achieve better charging performance.

[0087] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the current temperature is judged against the temperature threshold, and according to the corresponding judgment result, the terminal issues a prompt message or does not issue a prompt message to prompt to unfold the foldable screen or not to unfold the foldable screen. If the foldable screen is prompted to unfold, better heat dissipation performance can be obtained, thereby achieving better charging performance.

[0088] In the disclosed embodiment, when the charging capacity is used as the charging performance parameter, if the charging capacity is lower than the capacity threshold, a prompt can be issued in time to prompt the user to change the current state of the folding screen so that the terminal is in an unfolded state to obtain better charging performance and quickly complete the charging.

[0089] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the terminal with a foldable screen is in a folded state and the charging strategies supported by different states are the same, the charging power is obtained as the terminal charging performance parameter. If the charging power is greater than the power threshold, the terminal does not need to issue a prompt message. If the charging power is less than or equal to the power threshold, the terminal issues a prompt message.

[0090] In a charging method for a terminal provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure, when the state of the terminal with a foldable screen is a folded state and the charging strategies supported by the terminal in different states are the same, the charging method involved is described by taking the charging performance parameter as the charging power as an example.

[0091] Figure 4 is a flow chart of a method for determining whether to send a prompt message based on the charging power according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 4 As shown, the charging method is used in a terminal, which is a terminal with a folding screen. The charging method includes the following steps:

[0092] In step S41, during the charging process of the terminal with a foldable screen, the charging power is obtained.

[0093] Among them, the charging capacity is the current charging capacity of the terminal with a foldable screen.

[0094] In step S42, it is determined whether the charging power is greater than a power threshold.

[0095] It should be noted that the power threshold can be adjusted according to the actual needs. Here, the specific value of the power threshold is not limited.

[0096] In step S43, if the charging power is less than or equal to the power threshold, the terminal sends a prompt message.

[0097] In the disclosed embodiment, when the charging power is less than or equal to the power threshold, if the folding screen is switched from a folded state to an unfolded state, the heat dissipation performance can be increased to avoid triggering the temperature threshold for reducing the charging current, thereby ensuring the charging speed.

[0098] In step S44, if the charging power is greater than the power threshold, the terminal does not issue a prompt message.

[0099] In the disclosed embodiment, when the charging power is greater than the power threshold, the charging current enters a relatively stable state, and the heat dissipation state has a relatively small impact on charging. Therefore, even if the folding screen is switched from the folded state to the unfolded state, the charging current will not be adjusted after the heat dissipation performance is increased, so there is no need to adjust the folding screen state, and no prompt information is required.

[0100] For example, the power threshold is set to N% of the total charging power. At this time, if the obtained charging power is n1%, if n1%>N%, the terminal does not issue a prompt message. If the obtained charging power is n2%, if n2%≤N%, the terminal issues a prompt message to change the folding screen state to the unfolded state. For example, N can be 80.

[0101] In the disclosed embodiment, a judgment is made based on the charging power and the power threshold, and according to the corresponding judgment result, the terminal issues a prompt message or does not issue a prompt message to prompt the folding screen to be unfolded or not. If the folding screen is prompted to be unfolded, better heat dissipation performance can be obtained, thereby achieving better charging performance.

[0102] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, if the charging strategy corresponding to the folded state is different from the charging strategy corresponding to the unfolded state, the foldable screen can be charged in the unfolded state as much as possible, thereby providing better heat dissipation conditions to ensure the charging speed. That is, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, if it is determined that the charging strategy corresponding to the folded state is different from the charging strategy corresponding to the unfolded state, if the current state of the foldable screen is the folded state, a prompt message is issued to prompt the foldable screen to change its state to the unfolded state, provide better heat dissipation conditions, ensure the charging speed, and achieve fast charging.

[0103] Figure 5 The present invention is a flowchart of a terminal charging method according to an exemplary embodiment.

[0104] In step S51, the current state of the folding screen of the terminal is obtained as a folding state, and it is determined that the charging strategies supported by the folding screen in different states are different.

[0105] In step S52, a prompt message is issued.

[0106] In the disclosed embodiment, when a terminal with a foldable screen is in a folded state and the foldable screen supports different charging strategies in different states, the terminal issues a prompt message to prompt the user to change the foldable screen state to an unfolded state. When the foldable screen is in the unfolded state, it has a larger heat dissipation area and better heat dissipation performance, thereby achieving better charging performance.

[0107] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the charging process of a terminal with a foldable screen is described below with reference to examples.

[0108] Figure 6 The present invention is a flowchart of a terminal charging method according to an exemplary embodiment.

[0109] In step S61, the terminal with a foldable screen starts charging.

[0110] In step S62, the current state of the folding screen is obtained.

[0111] If the current state of the folding screen is the unfolded state, there is no need to perform subsequent processes.

[0112] If the current state of the folding screen is the folded state, it can be further determined whether to issue a prompt message based on the charging strategy supported by the folding screen.

[0113] In step S63, it is determined whether the charging strategies supported by the folding screen in different states are the same.

[0114] Among them, the charging strategies supported by the folding screen in different states can be the same. The charging strategies supported by the folding screen in different states can be different.

[0115] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, if the charging strategies supported by the folding screen in different states are the same, then when the folding screen is currently in the folded state, it is further determined whether to issue a prompt message based on the charging performance parameters.

[0116] For example, the charging performance parameters include charging power and temperature, and step S64 and / or step S65 are executed.

[0117] In step S64, it is determined whether the charging power is greater than N%, where N% is a power threshold.

[0118] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, if the charging power is greater than N%, no prompt message is issued, that is, there is no need to prompt the user to change the folding screen from the folded state to the unfolded state, that is, step S66 is executed, and no prompt message is issued. If the charging power is less than or equal to N%, a prompt message is issued, that is, the user is prompted to change the folding screen from the folded state to the unfolded state, and step S67 is executed to issue a prompt message.

[0119] In step S65, it is determined whether the temperature is greater than T1, where T1 is a temperature threshold.

[0120] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, if the temperature is less than or equal to T1, no prompt message is issued, that is, there is no need to prompt the user to change the folding screen from the folded state to the unfolded state, that is, step S66 is executed, and no prompt message is issued. If the temperature is greater than T1, a prompt message is issued, that is, the user is prompted to change the folding screen from the folded state to the unfolded state, and step S67 is executed to issue a prompt message.

[0121] Based on the above example, in one implementation, if the folding screen is in a folded state, the charging strategies supported by the folding screen in different states are the same, and the charging power is less than or equal to the power threshold, the terminal sends a prompt message.

[0122] In one implementation, if the folding screen is in a folded state, the charging strategies supported by the folding screen in different states are the same, and when the temperature is greater than a temperature threshold, the terminal issues a prompt message.

[0123] In one implementation, if the folding screen is in a folded state, the charging strategies supported by the folding screen in different states are the same, the charging power is less than or equal to the power threshold, and the temperature is greater than the temperature threshold, the terminal issues a prompt message.

[0124] In one implementation, if the folding screen is in a folded state, and the charging strategies supported by the folding screen in different states are different, the terminal sends a prompt message.

[0125] The terminal charging method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure determines the charging temperature, charging power and other factors of the folding screen terminal, and provides charging prompts to the user, thereby guiding the user to adopt a more appropriate charging posture and improving the user's charging experience. The present disclosure can detect the state of the folding screen and prompt the user to adjust the charging posture without increasing costs, thereby achieving better charging performance.

[0126] Based on the same concept, an embodiment of the present disclosure also provides a charging device for a terminal.

[0127] It is understandable that in order to realize the above functions, the charging device provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure includes hardware structures and / or software modules corresponding to the execution of each function. In combination with the units and algorithm steps of each example disclosed in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the embodiment of the present disclosure can be implemented in the form of hardware or a combination of hardware and computer software. Whether a function is executed in the form of hardware or computer software driving hardware depends on the specific application and design constraints of the technical solution. Those skilled in the art may use different methods to implement the described functions for each specific application, but such implementation should not be considered to exceed the scope of the technical solution of the embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0128] Figure 7 is a block diagram of a charging device for a terminal according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 7 The charging device 100 includes an acquiring unit 101 and a prompting unit 102 .

[0129] The acquisition unit 101 is used to determine the current state of the folding screen during the charging process of the terminal, where the state includes an unfolded state or a folded state;

[0130] The prompt unit 102 is used to issue a prompt message based on the current state and charging strategy, and the prompt message is used to prompt to change the state of the folding screen.
