[0026] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments in the present application belong to the scope of protection of this application.

[0027] The terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present application are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the terms used in this way are interchangeable where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present application can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first", "second", etc. are generally of one type, and the number of objects is not limited. For example, the first object can be one or more. In addition, "and / or" in the specification and claims represents at least one of the connected objects, and the character " / " generally indicates that the objects associated with each other are in an "or" relationship.

[0028] The terms "at least one (item)", "at least one of" and the like in the specification and claims of the present application refer to any one, any two or a combination of more than two of the objects included therein. For example, at least one (item) of a, b, and c can be represented by: "a", "b", "c", "a and b", "a and c", "b and c" and "a, b and c", where a, b, and c can be single or multiple. Similarly, "at least two (items)" refers to two or more, and its meaning is similar to that of "at least one (item)".

[0029] The nouns and terms involved in the embodiments of the present application are explained below.

[0030] Converged Fast Charging Protocol: The Converged Fast Charging Protocol is the Universal Fast Charging Specification (UFCS). The Converged Fast Charging Protocol is a new generation of converged fast charging protocol jointly developed by multiple companies. The protocol aims to solve the problem of incompatibility between fast charging between mobile terminal devices and create a fast, safe and compatible charging environment for terminal users. The UFCS protocol defines a set of unified charging standards and protocol handshake mechanisms, so that mobile terminal devices of different brands and models can use the same charger to achieve fast charging.

[0031] Universal Serial Bus (USB): USB is a widely used serial communication protocol and standard for transmitting data and power between computers and external devices. The USB interface has the characteristics of plug-and-play and hot-swap, allowing users to connect or disconnect devices without turning off the computer power. The USB interface has gone through multiple versions of iterations, including USB 1.0, USB 2.0, USB 3.0, etc., and each version has improved in speed, power consumption and transmission capacity.

[0032] UFCS communication handshake: that is, the communication handshake during UFCS charging. The UFCS communication handshake is a key step to ensure that the charger and the powered device can correctly identify and start the fast charging process. This process is similar to a "dialogue" between the charger and the device, and a series of signal interactions are used to confirm the charging capabilities and protocol support of both parties. The following is the main process of the communication handshake during UFCS charging:

[0033] Voltage detection: First, the charger detects the output voltage to ensure it is within a safe charging range.

[0034] Handshake and feature detection: The charger and the powered device will perform handshake and feature detection to confirm whether both parties support the UFCS protocol and their respective charging capabilities. During this process, the charger and the powered device will send a series of signals to each other, including voltage, current and other parameter information.

[0035] Protocol switching: If the detection is successful, both parties will switch to UFCS protocol mode and start the fast charging process. In this process, the charger will dynamically adjust the output voltage and current according to the charging requirements of the powered device and the battery capacity to achieve the best charging effect.

[0036] At present, with the advancement of electronic equipment technology, the functions of electronic equipment are becoming more and more powerful, which also makes the standby time of electronic equipment shorter and shorter. When users pay more and more attention to the standby time, increasing the battery capacity is the first solution that mobile phone manufacturers think of. When battery manufacturers are unable to overcome battery technology, fast charging solutions came into being. Now each terminal manufacturer has proposed its own fast charging protocol, and the fast charging protocols of each terminal manufacturer are incompatible with each other. For example, the charger of manufacturer A cannot charge the mobile phone of manufacturer B at high power, which invisibly affects the fast charging experience of mobile phone consumers.

[0037] UFCS is a new generation of converged fast charging protocol completed by the joint efforts of multiple terminal, chip companies and industry partners. The protocol aims to formulate converged fast charging standards for mobile terminals, solve the incompatibility problem of interoperable fast charging, and create a fast, safe and compatible charging environment for terminal users.

[0038] At present, the UFCS protocol uses the original USB DP and DM data lines for communication, which is consistent with the traditional USB communication method, that is, it also uses differential signals to transmit data, where DM is the negative end of the signal (Data Minus), also known as D-, and DP is the positive end of the signal (Data Positive), also known as D+. This makes UFCS compatible with the USB interface and uses these two data lines for communication handshakes and charging negotiations. UFCS communication stipulates that DP on the power supply side is TX, DM is RX, and DP on the charging side is RX (receive) and DM is TX (transport). However, the current charging based on the UFCS protocol is only applicable to fast charging between the charger and the charging device. For two devices that support bidirectional charging function, such as two mobile power supplies, two terminal devices, or a mobile power supply and a terminal device, it is currently impossible to charge based on the UFCS function, but can only be charged based on the traditional USB protocol, resulting in low charging efficiency.

[0039] In the charging control method provided in the embodiment of the present application, the first device receives a first pulse signal from the second device, and the first pulse signal is used to indicate that the second device supports the fusion fast charging protocol. When the first device supports the fusion fast charging protocol, the second device sends a second pulse signal or the above-mentioned first pulse signal to the second device, and the second pulse signal is used to indicate that the second device supports the fusion fast charging protocol. Through this method, after receiving the first pulse signal from the second device, the first device can send the second pulse signal to the second device, or send the received first pulse signal to the second device, to indicate that it also supports the fusion fast charging protocol, thereby establishing a fusion fast charging handshake based on the fusion fast charging protocol with the second device, and charging can be performed based on the fusion fast charging protocol after successfully establishing the fusion fast charging handshake.

[0040] The executor of the charging control method provided in the embodiment of the present application may be a charging control device, which may be an electronic device, or a functional module or functional entity in the electronic device.

[0041] The charging control method provided in the embodiment of the present application is described in detail below through specific embodiments and application scenarios in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0042] Figure 1 A flow chart of a charging control method provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown, the charging control method may include the following steps 201 and 202:

[0043] Step 201: A first device receives a first pulse signal from a second device.

[0044] Among them, the above-mentioned first pulse signal is used to indicate that the second device supports the fusion fast charging protocol.

[0045] In some embodiments of the present application, the first device and the second device may be devices having bidirectional charging capabilities or supporting bidirectional charging.

[0046] It should be noted that having bidirectional charging capability or supporting bidirectional charging means that it can both charge and discharge. That is, if a device can be used as a charging device for charging and as a power supply device to charge other devices, then this device is a device with bidirectional charging capability or supporting bidirectional charging.

[0047] In some embodiments of the present application, the first device and the second device may be dual role port (DRP) devices.

[0048] It should be noted that DRP is a port that can be used as both a DFP (Downstream Facing Port, i.e., a host port) and an UFP (Upstream Facing Port, i.e., a slave port), and can dynamically switch between the two. DRP devices can flexibly change their roles according to the roles and needs of connected devices, thereby providing a more flexible and convenient communication and charging experience.

[0049] In some embodiments of the present application, the first device and the second device support a fusion fast charging protocol.

[0050] It should be noted that the explanation of UFCS can be found in the above description and will not be repeated here.

[0051] In some embodiments of the present application, the first device may include any one of the following: a mobile power supply, an electronic device, a computer, etc.

[0052] In some embodiments of the present application, the second device may include any one of the following: a mobile power supply, an electronic device, a computer, etc.

[0053] In some embodiments of the present application, the above-mentioned electronic device may include a smart phone, a tablet computer, a laptop computer, a Bluetooth headset, etc.

[0054] In some embodiments of the present application, the first device may be a power supply device, that is, a power supply end.

[0055] In some embodiments of the present application, the second device may be a charging device, that is, a charging terminal.

[0056] It should be noted that after the first device and the second device are connected via a Type-C cable, it is possible to automatically identify which device is used as the power supply device and which device is used as the charging device.

[0057] Exemplarily, the first device is a mobile power supply, and the second device is a smart phone. The mobile power supply outputs electric energy to power the smart phone, and the smart phone receives electric energy from the mobile power supply and charges its battery.

[0058] As another example, the first device is a smartphone 1, and the second device is a smartphone 2. The smartphone 1 outputs electrical energy to power the smartphone 2, and the smartphone 2 receives electrical energy from the smartphone 1 and charges its battery.

[0059] As another example, the first device is a smart phone, and the second device is a mobile power supply. The smart phone outputs electrical energy to supply power to the mobile power supply, and the mobile power supply receives electrical energy from the smart phone and charges its battery.

[0060] In some embodiments of the present application, after the first device and the second device establish a connection via a USB, the first device and the second device can identify their own identities and the identities of the other end, that is, whether they serve as a power supply end or a charging end.

[0061] It should be noted that after two devices are connected via a USB (such as Type-c to Type-c) cable, the device can automatically identify itself as a power supply or a charging terminal through the Troggle function of type-c. Specifically, after two DRP devices are connected via a USB cable, each device sends high and low level pulses respectively, which are similar to square wave pulses, and then identifies the identities of both parties through pulses. For example, after device A is connected to device B, after sending a high level pulse to device B, it detects whether the pulse continues to be high level. If not, it means that device B sent a low level pulse to lower the level of the pulse sent by device A. Device A then believes that device B is a charging device and immediately configures itself as a power supply device. The same is true for device B.

[0062] In some embodiments of the present application, when the first device and the second device recognize their own identities or the identities of the other end, they can configure themselves as charging ends or power supply ends according to the user's selection operation.

[0063] Exemplarily, after the first device is connected to the second device via a USB cable, a prompt pop-up window is displayed, which may include a "power supply" option and a "charging" option. If the user selects the "power supply" option, the first device will configure it as a power supply end.

[0064] In some embodiments of the present application, the first device may receive a first pulse signal from the second device through a first signal receiving end.

[0065] In some embodiments of the present application, the first pulse signal may be a pulse signal of a preset sequence.

[0066] Exemplarily, the first pulse signal may be a "2828" pulse.

[0067] It should be noted that the "2828" pulse is a handshake pulse required by the UFCS standard protocol. The handshake pulse starts with an initial 2ms high level, followed by an 8ms low level, followed by another 2ms high level, and finally ends with a 2ms low level.

[0068] In some embodiments of the present application, the first signal receiving end may be a signal negative end DM of the first device, that is, D-.

[0069] In some embodiments of the present application, the second device may send a first pulse signal to the first device through a second signal sending end.

[0070] In some embodiments of the present application, the second signal sending end may be a signal negative end DM of the second device, that is, D-.

[0071] Step 202: When the first device supports the integrated fast charging protocol, the first device sends a second pulse signal or a first pulse signal to the second device, where the second pulse signal is used to indicate that the first device supports the integrated fast charging protocol.

[0072] In some possible implementations, after receiving the first pulse signal, the first device may actively send a second pulse signal to the second device to indicate through the second pulse signal that it supports the fusion fast charging protocol, so as to identify the capabilities of both parties.

[0073] In some embodiments of the present application, the second pulse signal may be a pulse signal of a preset type.

[0074] Exemplarily, the second pulse signal may be a “2828” pulse.

[0075] It should be noted that both the first pulse signal and the second pulse signal can be UFCS handshake pulses.

[0076] In some embodiments of the present application, the signal waveform of the second pulse signal may be the same as that of the first pulse signal, or different from that of the first pulse signal.

[0077] In one embodiment, the method further includes: upon receiving the converged fast charging handshake request sent by the second device, the first device establishes a converged fast charging connection with the second device.

[0078] In some embodiments of the present application, when the first device receives a converged fast charging handshake request sent by the second device, it can establish a converged fast charging handshake with the second device, and confirm the success of the handshake through a handshake message, and establish a converged fast charging connection between the first device and the second device. Furthermore, the first device can prepare to receive power supply from the second device, and the second device will start to output power according to the negotiated parameters to charge the first device.

[0079] In the charging control method provided in the embodiment of the present application, the first device receives a first pulse signal from the second device, and the first pulse signal is used to indicate that the second device supports the fusion fast charging protocol. When the first device supports the fusion fast charging protocol, the second pulse signal or the above-mentioned first pulse signal is sent to the second device, and the second pulse signal is used to indicate that the second device supports the fusion fast charging protocol. When the first device receives the fusion fast charging handshake request sent by the second device, the first device establishes a fusion fast charging connection with the second device. Through this method, after receiving the first pulse signal from the second device, the first device can send the second pulse signal to the second device, or send the received first pulse signal to the second device, to indicate that it also supports the fusion fast charging protocol, thereby establishing a fusion fast charging handshake based on the fusion fast charging protocol with the second device, and charging can be performed based on the fusion fast charging protocol after successfully establishing the fusion fast charging handshake.

[0080] In some embodiments of the present application, the above step 201 can be implemented by the following step 201a, and the process of sending the second pulse signal to the second device in the above step 202 can be implemented by the following step 202a.

[0081] Step 201a: The first device receives a first pulse signal through a first signal receiving end of the first device.

[0082] Step 202a: The first device sends a second pulse signal to the second device through the first signal sending end of the first device.

[0083] In some embodiments of the present application, the first signal sending end may be a signal positive end DM, namely D+.

[0084] In some embodiments of the present application, the second device may receive the second pulse signal from the first device through the second signal receiving end.

[0085] In some embodiments of the present application, the second signal receiving end may be a signal positive end DP, ie, D+, of the second device.

[0086] For example, taking the first device as device A and the second device as device B, after device A and device B are connected through a Type-cTO Type-c USB cable, the devices first perform identity identification through the type-c specification. Assuming that the identification result is that device A is the power supply end and device B is the charging end, device B first initiates UFCS identification and sends a "2828" pulse to device A through D-. After device A receives the "2828" pulse through D-, it sends a new "2828" pulse (i.e., the second pulse signal) to device B through D+ to support its own support for UFCS.

[0087] In the related art, after two devices with bidirectional charging functions are connected through a cable, if one of the devices (such as a smart phone) is used as a power supply end (i.e., a power supply end device), the D+ / D- of the mobile phone are disconnected by default. After the device configured as the charging end (i.e., the charging end device) sends a handshake pulse to the power supply end device, the power supply end device cannot respond to the handshake pulse of the charging end device, so that the charging end device and the power supply end device cannot establish a communication handshake, thereby failing to complete the UFCS reverse charging.

[0088] In an embodiment of the present application, while the charging end device is sending a handshake pulse on D-, it simultaneously monitors whether a handshake pulse is sent on the D+ signal line; if the D- signal line fails to send a handshake pulse, but at this time a UFCS handshake pulse (i.e., a second pulse signal) is sent on the D+ signal line, the charging end device can learn from the UFCS handshake pulse that the power supply end device supports UFCS, and can initiate a UFCS handshake instruction, and then complete the UFCS communication handshake, thereby completing the UFCS reverse charging.

[0089] In some embodiments of the present application, the above step 201 can be implemented by the following step 201b, and the process of sending the first pulse signal to the second device in the above step 202 can be implemented by the following step 202b.

[0090] Step 201b: The first device receives a first pulse signal through a first signal receiving end of the first device.

[0091] There is a conduction control between the first signal receiving end and the first signal sending end of the first device.

[0092] Step 202b: When the conduction control of the first device is in an on state, the first device sends a first pulse signal to the second device through the first signal sending end.

[0093] In some other possible implementations, after receiving the first pulse signal, the first device may transmit the first pulse signal back to the second device to indicate that it supports UFCS by transmitting the first pulse signal back, so as to identify the capabilities of both parties.

[0094] It should be noted that the first pulse signal transmitted back by the first device to the second device has the same waveform as the first pulse signal sent by the second device to the first device, and the changes in timing are consistent.

[0095] It should be noted that the first device transmits the first pulse signal back to the second device in response to the received first pulse signal. In this process, the first device does not need to actively send a pulse signal, but transmits the first pulse signal to the second device through a conductive path.

[0096] like Figure 2 As shown, the first device may include a first signal transmitting end (TX) 301, a first signal receiving end (RX) 302 and a control unit 303. The first device may control the first signal receiving end 302 to receive a first pulse signal, and control the first signal transmitting end 301 to send a first pulse signal or a second pulse signal through the control unit 303.

[0097] In some embodiments of the present application, in combination with the above Figure 2 ,like Figure 3 As shown, a conduction control 304 is arranged between the first signal receiving end and the first signal sending end, the first end of the conduction control 304 is connected to the first signal sending end 301, and the second end of the conduction control 401 is connected to the first signal receiving end 302; the control unit 303 is also used to control the closing of the conduction control 304 to conduct the first signal sending end 301 and the first signal receiving end 302, so as to transmit the first pulse signal received by the first signal receiving end to the first signal sending end, and transmit the signal to the second signal receiving end of the second device through the first signal sending end.

[0098] like Figure 4 As shown, taking the first device as device A and the second device as device B as an example, device A and device B communicate through two signal paths formed by D+ and D- signal lines. A conduction control 51 is connected between D+ and D- of device A. The conduction control 51 is in an open state by default. After receiving the "2828" pulse from device B, device A controls the conduction control 51 to close to conduct D+ and D-.

[0099] It should be noted that the conduction control of the first device may be in an open state by default, and after receiving the first pulse signal of the second device, the first device controls the conduction control to close.

[0100] For example, taking the first device as device A, the second device as device B, and device A as the power supply end and device B as the charging end, after device A receives the "2828" handshake pulse from device B through D-, it connects D+ and D- by closing the built-in switch, and then transmits the "2828" handshake pulse back to D+ of device B through D+ to indicate that it supports UFCS.

[0101] In some embodiments of the present application, the first device may continuously detect the signal of the first signal receiving end. Once it is detected that the second device has sent a first pulse signal, the first device may disconnect the connection between the first signal receiving end and the first signal sending end, and switch the first signal receiving end and the first signal sending end to UFCS mode within a predetermined time. At this time, the UFCS protocol handshake detection is successful.

[0102] For example, taking the first device as power supply device A and the second device as charging device B, power supply device A continuously detects the D- signal. Once it detects that charging device B sends a predetermined sequence on D-, it disconnects D+ and D-, and switches the D+D- pins to UFCS mode within the tDataRoleSwicch time, and the protocol handshake detection is successful.

[0103] In some embodiments of the present application, before the first pulse signal is sent to the second device through the first signal sending end in the above step 202b, the charging control method provided in the embodiment of the present application may further include the following step 204:

[0104] Step 204: The first device controls the conduction control to be in an on state.

[0105] Exemplarily, after receiving the first pulse signal from the second device, the first device determines that the first device supports the fusion fast charging protocol, and controls the conduction control to turn on, so as to transmit the first pulse signal received by the first signal receiving end to the first signal sending end through the conduction control, thereby sending the first pulse signal to the second device through the first signal sending end.

[0106] In some embodiments of the present application, after the first pulse signal is sent to the second device through the first signal sending end in the above step 202b, the charging control method provided in the embodiment of the present application may further include the following step 205:

[0107] Step 205: The first device controls the conduction control to be in a closed state.

[0108] Exemplarily, after receiving the first pulse signal from the second device, if the first device determines that the first device supports the fusion fast charging protocol, the first device controls the conduction control to turn on, so as to transmit the first pulse signal received through the first signal receiving end to the first signal sending end through the conduction control, and after sending the first pulse signal to the second device through the first signal sending end, the conduction control is controlled to turn off to disconnect the connection between the first signal receiving end and the first signal sending end.

[0109] In some embodiments of the present application, the conduction control is an electronic switch control; illustratively, the step 204 can be implemented by the following step 204a.

[0110] Step 204a: The first device applies a first electrical signal to the control end of the electronic switch control to control the electronic switch control to close.

[0111] In some embodiments of the present application, the above-mentioned electronic switch controls include but are not limited to field effect tubes, transistors, thyristors, relays, and various special types of electronic switches.

[0112] Exemplarily, the electronic switch control may be a Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor (MOSFET).

[0113] In some embodiments of the present application, the first electrical signal may be an electrical signal of a high level or a specified voltage value.

[0114] Exemplarily, the first device may apply a first electrical signal of a high level (or a specified voltage value) to a control terminal of an electronic switch control (such as a MOSFET) through a controller to close the electronic switch control, thereby allowing current to pass through the electronic switch control. For example, a high level voltage is applied to the gate of the MOSFET as the first electrical signal to control the MOSFET to close, thereby realizing the on state of the conduction control.

[0115] In some embodiments of the present application, the above-mentioned conduction control is an electronic switch control; illustratively, the above-mentioned step 205 of controlling the conduction control to be in a closed state can be implemented by the following step 205a.

[0116] Step 205a: The first device applies a second electrical signal to the control end of the electronic switch control to control the electronic switch control to be disconnected.

[0117] It should be noted that the explanation of the electronic switch control can be found in the description of the above embodiments and will not be repeated here.

[0118] In some embodiments of the present application, the first electrical signal may be an electrical signal of a low level or a specified voltage value.

[0119] Exemplarily, the first device may apply a second electrical signal of a low level (or another specified voltage value) to the control terminal of the electronic switch control through the controller to disconnect the electronic switch control and cut off the current in the conduction control. For example, a low level voltage is applied to the gate of a MOSFET as the second electrical signal to control the MOSFET to be cut off, thereby realizing the closed state of the conduction control.

[0120] In some embodiments of the present application, after the above step 203, the charging control method provided in the embodiment of the present application may further include the following step 206:

[0121] Step 206: The first device charges the second device.

[0122] For example, after the first device establishes a fusion fast charging handshake with the second device, the first device (as a power supply device) can output power to the second device (as a powered device) according to the negotiated charging parameters. Furthermore, when the second device is fully charged or reaches the preset charging condition, the charging process ends.

[0123] In some embodiments of the present application, the charging control method provided in the embodiments of the present application may further include the following steps 207 and 208:

[0124] Step 207: The first device receives a first input when establishing a charging connection with the second device.

[0125] Step 208: The first device sends a second charging request to the second device in response to the first input; the second charging request is used to request the second device to charge the first device.

[0126] It should be noted that the above steps 207 and 208 may be performed after the above step 203 , or after the above step 201 .

[0127] In some embodiments of the present application, the second charging request may be a third pulse signal.

[0128] In an embodiment of the present application, the first input may be a key input or a touch input of a user to the first device. For example, the key input may be an input to a physical key, and the touch input may be an input to a window control.

[0129] Exemplarily, after the first device charges the second device, if the second device needs to charge the first device, the first input can be used to trigger the first device to send a third pulse signal to the second device. Then, the second device can send the same third pulse signal or fourth pulse signal to the first device, indicating that it agrees to charge the first device and charges the first device.

[0130] Figure 5 A flow chart of a charging control method provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown, the charging control method may include the following steps 301 and 302:

[0131] Step 301: The second device sends a first pulse signal to the first device; the first pulse signal is used to indicate that the second device supports the integrated fast charging protocol.

[0132] Step 302: When the converged fast charge handshake condition is met, the second device sends a converged fast charge handshake request to the first device.

[0133] The above-mentioned integrated fast charging handshake request is used to request to establish an integrated fast charging handshake with the first device.

[0134] Among them, the above-mentioned fusion fast charging handshake conditions include any of the following:

[0135] The second device receives the first pulse signal sent by the first device;

[0136] The second device receives a second pulse signal sent by the first device, where the second pulse signal is used to indicate that the second device supports the fusion fast charging protocol.

[0137] It should be noted that the explanation of the second device and the first pulse signal can be found in the description of the above embodiment and will not be repeated here.

[0138] In some embodiments of the present application, the above-mentioned fused fast charging handshake request may be a handshake instruction, such as a handshake ping.

[0139] In some embodiments of the present application, the second device may send a fusion fast charge handshake request to the first device after a preset delay if the fusion fast charge handshake condition is met. Exemplarily, the preset delay may be 100ms.

[0140] In some embodiments of the present application, the second device can send a first pulse signal to the first device through the negative terminal (D-) of the signal. At the same time, the second device detects whether the pulse signal at the positive terminal (D+) of the signal is consistent with the first pulse signal. If they are consistent, it indicates that the power supply device has successfully received and responded to the first pulse signal; or, the second device sends a first pulse signal to the first device through D-, and when a second pulse signal identical to the first pulse signal sent by the first device is detected on D+ within a certain period of time, it indicates that the first device has successfully received and responded to the first pulse signal, and then the second device can send a handshake instruction to the first device to establish a communication handshake with the first device.

[0141] It should be noted that the second device can determine whether the first pulse is detected on the D+ signal within a certain period of time, and this time can be set to 10 to 20 ms by default.

[0142] In some possible implementations, after the second device sends a first pulse signal to the first device through the second signal sending end, if the second signal receiving end detects the first pulse signal returned by the first device, a fusion fast charging handshake request is sent to the first device.

[0143] It should be noted that after the first pulse signal of the first device is transmitted back to the second device, the second device can detect a pulse signal at the second signal receiving end that is consistent with the first pulse signal and follows the changes of the first pulse signal in timing.

[0144] Exemplarily, in combination with the above example, device B first initiates UFCS identification and sends a "2828" pulse to device A through D-. After device A receives the "2828" handshake pulse from device B through D-, it connects D+ and D- by closing the built-in switch, and then transmits the "2828" handshake pulse back to D+ of device B through D+. After device B detects the "2828" handshake pulse on D+, it sends a handshake instruction to device A to establish a communication handshake with device A.

[0145] In some other possible implementations, after the second device sends a first pulse signal to the first device through the second signal sending end, if the second pulse signal sent by the first device is received through the second signal receiving end, a fusion fast charging handshake request is sent to the first device.

[0146] Exemplarily, in combination with the above example, device B first initiates the identification of UFCS and sends a "2828" pulse to device A through D-. After device A receives the "2828" pulse through D-, it sends a new "2828" pulse (i.e., the second pulse signal) to the D+ of device B through D+ to support its own support for UFCS. After device B detects the "2828" handshake pulse actively sent by device A on D+, it sends a handshake instruction to device A to establish a fused fast charging handshake with device A.

[0147] Figure 6 A schematic diagram of a UFCS fast charge handshake detection waveform provided in an embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 6 As shown, the charging device (i.e., the second device) sends a handshake pulse on D-, which starts with an initial high level, which lasts for tDet1, followed by a low level lasting for tDet2, followed by a high level lasting for tDet3, and then a low level lasting for tDet4. When the power supply device is in the DCP state, it continuously detects the D- signal. Once it detects that the charging device sends a predetermined sequence on D-, it disconnects D+D- and switches the D+D- pins to UFCS mode within tDataRoleSwitch time. The protocol handshake detection is successful. Next, after the charging device detects that D+ is pulled up to a high level within the set time window, it confirms that the protocol handshake detection is successful, switches the D+D- pins to UFCS mode within the tDataRoleSwitch time, and sends a ping message (i.e., a fused fast charging handshake request) to the power supply device within the tWaitping time. After the power supply device succeeds in the protocol handshake detection, if it receives a ping message from the charging device within the tWaitping time, the UFCS handshake is completed and UFCS charging begins.

[0148] In an embodiment of the present application, after the second device sends a first pulse signal to the first device, upon detecting the first pulse signal returned by the first device or receiving the second pulse signal sent by the first device, the second device sends a handshake instruction to the first device, thereby completing the establishment of a communication handshake based on UFCS charging with the second device, and performing UFCS-based fast charging after successfully establishing the communication handshake, thereby improving the charging efficiency.

[0149] In some embodiments of the present application, the second device receives the first pulse signal or the second pulse signal through the second signal receiving end.

[0150] In some embodiments of the present application, the second signal receiving end may be a signal positive end DP, ie, D+, of the second device.

[0151] In some embodiments of the present application, the above step 301 can be implemented by the following step 301a.

[0152] Step 301a: The second device sends a first pulse signal to the first device through the second signal sending end of the second device.

[0153] In some embodiments of the present application, the second signal sending end may be a signal negative end DM of the second device, that is, D-.

[0154] like Figure 7 As shown, the second device includes a second signal transmitting end (TX) 401 and a second signal receiving end (RX) 402; the second signal transmitting end 401 is used to send the above-mentioned first pulse signal to the first device, and the second signal transmitting end 401 is also used to send a fusion fast charging handshake request to the first device when the fusion fast charging handshake establishment conditions are met, and the second signal receiving end 402 is used to receive the first pulse signal or the second pulse signal from the first device.

[0155] It should be noted that the process of sending the first pulse signal to the first device through the negative signal terminal DM of the second device can refer to the description of the above embodiment, which will not be repeated here.

[0156] In some embodiments of the present application, after the above step 301, the charging control method provided in the embodiment of the present application may further include the following step 303:

[0157] Step 303: When the fusion fast charging handshake condition is not met, the first device sends the first pulse signal again.

[0158] In some embodiments of the present application, the first device may repeatedly send the first pulse signal to the second device for multiple times. For example, the first device continuously sends the first pulse signal to the second device 10 times.

[0159] In some embodiments of the present application, after sending a first pulse signal to the first device, the second device detects whether the first device returns the first pulse signal. If the first pulse signal returned by the first device is not detected, the second device repeatedly sends the first pulse signal to the second device; or if the first pulse signal returned by the first device is detected, a fused fast charging handshake request is sent to the second device.

[0160] It should be noted that if the second device detects the first pulse signal sent back by the first device, it means that the first device supports UFCS, indicating that the first device has met the fusion fast charging handshake conditions.

[0161] For example, taking the first device as device A and the second device as device B, after device B sends the "2828" handshake pulse at D-, it detects whether the D+ of device A follows the "2828" pulse. If the D+ of device A follows the "2828" pulse, B is set to perform a normal UFCS handshake operation. If the D+ of device A does not follow the "2828" pulse and remains at a low level, the "2828" pulse is repeatedly sent to device A.

[0162] In an embodiment of the present application, after the second device sends a first pulse signal to the first device, if the first pulse signal returned by the first device is not detected, the second device may repeatedly send the first pulse signal to the first device. On the one hand, this avoids the failure of communication handshake establishment caused by the first device not returning the first pulse signal to the second device when the first device fails to receive the first pulse signal due to signal interference or poor physical connection. On the other hand, by repeatedly sending the first pulse signal to the first device, the probability of the first device receiving the first pulse signal is increased, thereby effectively ensuring communication efficiency.

[0163] In some embodiments of the present application, after the above step 302, the charging control method provided in the embodiment of the present application may further include the following step 304:

[0164] Step 304: When receiving the second pulse signal or the first pulse signal sent by the first device, stop sending the first pulse signal and send a fusion fast charging handshake request to the first device.

[0165] In some embodiments of the present application, after the second device sends a first pulse signal to the first device, if it is not detected that the first device returns the first pulse signal or the first device actively sends a second pulse signal, the first pulse signal is repeatedly sent to the first device; if after repeatedly sending the first pulse signal, the second pulse signal sent by the first device is received, the first pulse signal is stopped and a fusion fast charging handshake request is sent to the first device.

[0166] It should be noted that after the first device repeatedly sends the first pulse signal, if the second device receives the second pulse signal sent by the first device, it means that the first device has responded to the handshake pulse of the second device and indicated that it also supports UFCS. At this time, it indicates that the first device meets the conditions for the integrated fast charging handshake.

[0167] Exemplarily, in combination with the above example, after device B repeatedly sends the "2828" pulse, it detects the D+ of device A at the same time. If device B detects that the "2828" pulse is sent on the D+ of device A, device B stops sending the "2828" pulse and sends the UFCS handshake pulse to device A after 100ms.

[0168] In an embodiment of the present application, when the second device sends a first pulse signal to the first device multiple times, it can simultaneously detect whether a second pulse signal from the first device is received, and when the second pulse signal is detected, stop sending the first pulse signal and establish a UFCS communication handshake with the first device, thereby effectively ensuring communication efficiency.

[0169] In some embodiments of the present application, after the above step 302, the charging control method provided in the embodiment of the present application may further include the following step 305:

[0170] Step 305: When the second device establishes a converged fast charging connection with the first device, the second device receives the charging current from the first device.

[0171] In some embodiments of the present application, the second device sends a converged fast charging handshake request to the first device. After the first device responds to the converged fast charging handshake request and completes the converged fast charging handshake, the first device and the second device establish a converged fast charging connection, and the two perform fast charging based on UFCS. During this process, the first device can output charging current to the second device according to the negotiated charging parameters, and the second device can receive the charging current from the first device, and use the electrical energy to charge its own battery or for other purposes.

[0172] Exemplarily, in combination with the above example, after device B sends the UFCS handshake instruction, it waits for the response of device A. After receiving the response of device A, device B establishes a handshake with device A and enters the UFCS fast charging protocol for fast charging.

[0173] Specifically, after the handshake is completed, the second device (i.e., the charging device) will send an instruction to the first device (i.e., the power supply device) to inquire about the power, software version, output voltage, output current and other information of the power supply device, and the power supply device will respond normally to the request instruction of the charging device; at this time, the charging device requests the power supply device to issue a voltage and current instruction that meets the requirements of the charging device based on its own power and other information; then the charging device inquires about the output voltage and current of the power supply device again, and the power supply device returns its own voltage and current, and then enters the normal charging stage. In this stage, the charging device continuously adjusts the voltage and current, and continuously inquires about the output voltage and output current of the power supply device until charging is completed. Finally, after charging is completed, the charging device will send an instruction to exit fast charging. After the power supply device receives the instruction to exit the protocol, the power supply device returns to the default voltage and current, and the communication signal line returns to the initial state.

[0174] In some embodiments of the present application, the charging control method provided in the embodiments of the present application may further include the following step 306:

[0175] Step 306: Upon receiving the second charging request sent by the first device, the second device charges the first device.

[0176] The second charging request is used to request the second device to charge the first device.

[0177] It should be noted that the explanation of the second charging request can be found in the description of the above embodiment and will not be repeated here.

[0178] In some embodiments of the present application, upon receiving the second charging request sent by the first device, the second device may send a charging response to the first device, where the charging response is used to indicate that the second device agrees to charge the first device.

[0179] Exemplarily, after receiving the charging request from the first device, the second device outputs current to the first device according to parameters such as the power, software version, output voltage, and output current of the power supply device of the first device.

[0180] It should be noted that the above step 306 can be performed after step 302 or before step 302 .

[0181] In some embodiments of the present application, before the above step 301, the charging control method provided in the embodiment of the present application may include the following step A1. Combined with the above step A1, the above step 301 may be implemented by the following step B1.

[0182] Step A1: The second device receives a second input.

[0183] Step B1: The second device sends a first pulse signal to the first device in response to the second input

[0184] In some embodiments of the present application, the second input may be a key input by a user or a touch input to a pop-up window control.

[0185] In some embodiments of the present application, the second input is used to trigger configuration of the second device as a charging device and send a first pulse signal to the first device.

[0186] For example, taking the first device as terminal 1 and the second device as terminal 2, after terminal 1 and the first terminal 2 are connected via a Type-C cable, terminal 2 displays a prompt pop-up window, which is used for the user to confirm whether terminal 2 needs to be charged through terminal 1. After the user clicks the "Confirm" button in the prompt pop-up window, terminal 2 configures itself as a charging device and sends a "2828" pulse signal to terminal 1, thereby initiating a fusion fast charging handshake process.

[0187] In the embodiment of the present application, the user can actively choose whether to use the device as a charging device and start the charging process, avoiding unnecessary charging operations, thereby improving the flexibility and autonomy of user operations.

[0188] The above-mentioned method embodiments, or various possible implementation methods in each method embodiment, can be executed separately, or, under the premise that there is no contradiction, can also be executed in combination with each other. The specific implementation can be determined according to actual usage requirements, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0189] The charging control method provided in the embodiment of the present application is described below through specific examples.

[0190] Embodiment 1: Taking the first device as device A and the second device as device B as an example, the charging control method is described. Figure 8 As shown, the charging control method may include the following steps 21 to 28:

[0191] Step 21: Device A and Device B are connected.

[0192] Step 22: Distinguish device A as a power supply device and device B as a charging device.

[0193] Step 23: Device B sends a "2828" pulse.

[0194] Step 24: Determine whether the D+ of device A follows the "2828" pulse. If not, execute step 25; if so, execute step 26.

[0195] For example, device B sends a "2828" handshake pulse at D-, and detects whether the D+ of device A follows the "2828" pulse. If the D+ of device A follows the "2828" pulse, set B to perform normal UFCS handshake operation; if the D+ of device A does not follow the "2828" pulse and remains at a low level, perform the following steps 25:

[0196] Step 25: Determine whether D+ of device A sends 2828 pulses. If so, execute step 26; if not, execute step 27.

[0197] Step 26: Device B sends a UFCS handshake ping.

[0198] For example, after device B sends the UFCS handshake ping, device A responds normally to the handshake ping of device B, indicating that the UFCS detection is successful and the UFCS fast charging protocol is entered normally.

[0199] Step 27: Determine whether the number of times device B repeatedly sends the "2828" pulse is less than 6 times. If so, continue to execute the above step 23. If not, it indicates that the UFCS detection fails.

[0200] Embodiment 2: Taking the first device as device A and the second device as device B as an example, the charging control method is described. The charging control method may include the following steps 31 to 34:

[0201] Step 31: Device A is identified as a power supply device and device B is identified as a charging device.

[0202] Step 32: Device A connects the D+ / D- cables through the built-in switch.

[0203] Step 33: Device B sends a handshake pulse "2828" to enter normal UFCS handshake recognition.

[0204] Step 34: After UFCS handshake recognition is successful, enter normal UFCS fast charging.

[0205] The charging control method provided in the embodiment of the present application can solve the problem that the charging device defaults to D+ / D- disconnection and cannot perform UFCS fast charging recognition when performing UFCS fast charging based on a type-c to type-c cable, thereby enabling reverse charging based on UFCS between two devices with bidirectional charging functions and improving charging efficiency.

[0206] The charging control method provided in the embodiment of the present application can be executed by a charging control device. In the embodiment of the present application, the charging control device provided in the embodiment of the present application is described by taking the charging control method executed by the charging control device as an example.

When the first device supports the fusion fast charging protocol, the second pulse signal or the first pulse signal is sent to the second device, and the second pulse signal is used to indicate that the second device supports the fusion fast charging protocol. In this way, after receiving the first pulse signal from the second device, the first device can send the second pulse signal to the second device, or send the received first pulse signal to the second device, to indicate that it also supports the fusion fast charging protocol, thereby establishing a fusion fast charging handshake based on the fusion fast charging protocol with the second device, and charging can be performed based on the fusion fast charging protocol after the fusion fast charging handshake is successfully established.
