Some data cables also have 1 to 4 interfaces, or multiple identical interfaces, such as 1 to 3, with output of 3 type-c ports, which can be connected to multiple terminal devices for charging at the same time.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 2 , is a schematic diagram of an example structure of a terminal device provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 The terminal shown includes components such as a processor 210 , a memory 220 , a transceiver 230 , a display unit 240 , an input unit 250 , a sensor 260 , an audio circuit 270 , and a power module 280 .

[0037] The processor 210 is the control center of the terminal, and uses various interfaces and lines to connect various parts of the entire terminal. By running or executing software programs and / or modules stored in the memory 220, and calling data stored in the memory 220, the processor 210 performs various functions of the terminal and processes data, thereby monitoring the terminal as a whole. Optionally, the processor 420 may include one or more processing units; optionally, the processor 210 may integrate an application processor, which mainly processes operating devices, user interfaces, and application programs, etc. Of course, other processors may also be included, which are not listed here one by one.

[0038] The memory 220 can be used to store software programs and modules. The processor 210 executes various functional applications and data processing of the terminal by running the software programs and modules stored in the memory 220. The memory 220 may mainly include a program storage area and a data storage area, wherein the program storage area may store operating devices, at least one application required for a function (such as a sound playback function, an image playback function, etc.), etc.; the data storage area may store data created according to the use of the terminal (such as audio data, a phone book, etc.), etc. In addition, the memory 220 may include a high-speed random access memory, and may also include a non-volatile memory, such as at least one disk storage device, a flash memory device, or other volatile solid-state storage devices.

The display unit 240 may be configured in the form of a liquid crystal display (LCD), an organic light-emitting diode (OLED), etc., which is not limited here.

[0041] The input unit 250 can be used to receive input digital or character information, and to generate key signal input related to the user settings and function control of the terminal. Specifically, the input unit 250 can collect the user's operations on or near it, and drive the corresponding connection device according to a pre-set program. In addition, the input unit 250 may include a touch panel 252, which can be implemented in various types such as resistive, capacitive, infrared, and surface acoustic waves. In addition to the touch panel 252, the input unit 250 may also include other input devices 252. Specifically, other input devices 252 may include, but are not limited to, one or more of function keys (such as volume control keys, switch keys, etc.), trackballs, joysticks, etc.

The audio circuit 270 may transmit the electrical signal converted from the received audio data to the speaker 272, which is converted into a sound signal for output; on the other hand, the microphone 272 converts the collected sound signal into an electrical signal, which is received by the audio circuit 270 and converted into audio data, and then the audio data is output to the processor 210 for processing, and then sent to another terminal device through the video circuit, or the audio data is output to the memory 220 for further processing.

[0044] The terminal also includes a power module 280 for supplying power to various components. Optionally, the power module 280 can be logically connected to the processor 210 through a power management device, so that the power management device can manage charging, discharging, power consumption and other functions.

[0045] Although not shown, the terminal may further include a camera. Optionally, the camera may be located at the front or rear of the terminal, which is not limited in the present embodiment.

[0046] It is to be understood that the structure illustrated in the embodiments of the present application does not constitute a specific limitation on the terminal. In other embodiments of the present application, the terminal may include more or fewer components than shown in the figure, or combine certain components, or split certain components, or arrange the components differently. The illustrated components may be implemented in hardware, software, or a combination of software and hardware.

[0047] Optional, above Figure 2 The terminal equipment shown can be Figure 1 The method is to connect to the charger and charge. For the above-mentioned charging solution with a charger with multiple interfaces, due to the large number of interfaces, the compatibility between the charging protocols is poor, the versatility is poor, the charging speed is slow, and the charging time using the above-mentioned charging cable is long. Generally, this type of charger is mainly used for emergency and emergency use by consumers in restaurant-related commercial consumption places. It is also used for outdoor scanning code power banks for emergency use and is not practical for home use.

[0048] Take the 1 to 3 port charger as an example, please refer to Figure 3 , which shows a schematic diagram of a circuit interface of a charger involved in an exemplary embodiment of the present application. Figure 3 As shown, it includes a power interface 301 and a charging interface 302. The power interface 301 leads to two charging lines, VBUS and GND, of the charging transmission line, while the D+ and D- of the data transmission line are directly short-circuited; the Micro b interface and the lighting interface in the charging interface 302 also lead to the VBUS and GND of the charging transmission line, and are connected to the VBUS and GND of the power interface accordingly.

[0049] The Type-c interface in the charging interface 302 is different from the other two. It has an extra pair of cc leads, one of which is pulled up to the VBUS lead through a resistor. The VBUS and GND of the Type-c interface are also connected to the VBUS and GND of the power interface. The D+ and D- of the Type-c interface are also directly short-circuited.

[0050] Above Figure 3 The charger shown only needs to use two leads in actual design, which can save costs, but cannot be used for data transmission with devices such as computers. The charging cable is only used for low-current charging.

[0051] Please refer to Figure 4 , which shows a circuit interface diagram of another charger involved in an exemplary embodiment of the present application. Figure 4 As shown, it includes a power interface 401 and a charging interface 402. The power interface 401 leads to VBUS and GND of the charging transmission line, and the connection relationship between VBUS and GND of the charging interface 402 is the same as Figure 3 The same, no further description is given here. Figure 4 In the embodiment, the D+ and D- of the data transmission line led out of the power interface are not directly short-circuited, but are respectively connected to the D+ and D- led out of the charging interface 402, so that data transmission with a computer or other device can be realized. However, if multiple terminal devices are charged through the charger at the same time, the charger shown in the scheme will be confused due to the connection between D+ and D-, and cannot be used for data transmission when multiple terminal devices are hung below, and will also affect each other during charging.

[0052] Therefore, the existing 1-to-many interface chargers cannot be compatible with the charging protocols of multiple terminal devices due to the large number of output ports. There are problems such as poor compatibility between charging protocols, poor versatility, slow charging speed, etc. The charging time is long using the above charging cable. For example, a conventional mobile phone 5000mah battery can be fully charged in 40 minutes under normal fast charging. Using the above charger, it takes more than 2 hours to be fully charged, and there is a problem of low charging efficiency.

[0053] In order to solve the problems existing in the above-mentioned related technologies and improve the charging efficiency of terminal devices through multi-interface data lines, the present application provides a charging device that can flexibly determine the target charging parameters of the target charging signal output by the power interface according to the respective charging protocols of multiple terminal devices, thereby speeding up the charging of each terminal device.

[0054] Please refer to Figure 5 , which shows a schematic diagram of the structure of a charging device provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 5As shown, the charging device 500 includes a power interface 501 , a protocol identification module 502 and at least two charging interfaces 503 .

[0055] The power interface 501 is electrically connected to the protocol identification module 502 , and the protocol identification module 502 is also electrically connected to at least two charging interfaces 503 .

[0056] The protocol identification module 502 is used to determine the target charging parameters of the target charging signal output by the power interface 501 according to the respective charging protocols of the at least two terminal devices when at least two charging interfaces 503 are respectively connected to at least two terminal devices; the power interface 501 is used to output the target charging signal to each charging interface 503 so as to charge at least two terminal devices through at least two charging interfaces 503.

[0057] That is to say, by adding a protocol identification module 502 to the charging device, when charging multiple terminal devices, the protocol identification module 502 is used to obtain the charging protocol of each terminal device, and the target charging parameter of the target charging signal output by the power interface 501 is determined according to the charging protocol of each terminal device, so as to achieve charging compatibility with multiple terminal devices, so that each terminal device can achieve the effect of fast charging. Among them, the target charging signal can be a charging current signal and / or a charging voltage signal, and the target charging parameter can be the magnitude of the charging current, the magnitude of the charging voltage, the magnitude of the charging power, and one or more of the adopted charging protocols. For example, through this solution, the charging voltage value of the charging voltage signal output by the charging device 500 through the power interface 501 can be determined based on the charging protocols of different terminal devices, so as to avoid the situation where slow charging is caused by charging with too low a voltage, thereby improving the charging efficiency.

[0058] In summary, the charging device provided by the present application includes a power interface, a protocol identification module and at least two charging interfaces; the power interface is electrically connected to the protocol identification module, and the protocol identification module is also electrically connected to the at least two charging interfaces, wherein: the protocol identification module is used to determine the target charging parameters of the target charging signal output by the power interface according to the respective charging protocols of the at least two terminal devices when the at least two charging interfaces are respectively connected to the at least two terminal devices; the power interface is used to output the target charging signal to each charging interface to charge the at least two terminal devices through the at least two charging interfaces. When charging the terminal devices connected to each charging interface, the respective charging protocols of each terminal device will be obtained, and the target charging parameters of the target charging signal to be transmitted will be determined based on different charging protocols, so as to realize charging of each terminal device based on the target charging signal, accelerate the charging speed of the charging device, and improve the charging efficiency of the terminal devices through the multi-interface data line.

[0059] Please refer to Figure 6 , which shows a schematic diagram of the circuit structure of a charging device involved in an exemplary embodiment of the present application. Figure 6 As shown, the charging device includes a power interface 601 , a protocol identification module 602 and at least two charging interfaces 603 .

[0060] The power interface 601 is electrically connected to the protocol identification module 602 , and the protocol identification module 602 is also electrically connected to at least two charging interfaces 603 .

[0061] The protocol identification module 602 is used to determine the target charging parameters of the target charging signal output by the power interface 601 according to the respective charging protocols of the at least two terminal devices when at least two charging interfaces 603 are respectively connected to at least two terminal devices; the power interface 601 is used to output the target charging signal to each charging interface 603 so as to charge at least two terminal devices through at least two charging interfaces 603.

[0062] Optionally, the power interface 601 connects the first charging lead 601a and the first data lead 601b; each charging interface 603 includes a second charging lead 603a and a second data lead 603b; the first charging lead 601a is electrically connected to the second charging lead 603a included in each charging interface 603, and the first data lead 601b is electrically connected to the protocol identification module 602, and the protocol identification module 602 is also electrically connected to the second data lead 603b included in each charging interface 603.

[0063] Optionally, the first charging lead 601a includes a first positive charging lead 601a+ and a first negative charging lead 601a-, the first data lead 601b includes a first positive data lead 601b+ and a first negative data lead 601b-; the second charging lead 603a includes a second positive charging lead 603a+ and a second negative charging lead 603a-, the second data lead 603b includes a second positive data lead 603b+ and a second data lead 603b-. Data negative lead 603b-; the first charging positive lead 601a+ is electrically connected to the second charging positive lead 603a+, and the first charging negative lead 601a- is electrically connected to the second charging negative lead 603a-; the first data positive lead 601b+ and the first data negative lead 601b- access the protocol identification module 602; the second data positive lead 603b+ and the second data negative lead 603b- access the protocol identification module 602.

[0064] The protocol identification module 602 is used to obtain the charging protocols of at least two terminal devices through the second data lead 603b; and after determining the target charging parameters according to the charging protocols of at least two terminal devices, the target charging parameters are transmitted through the first data lead 601b. The power interface 601 is used to output the target charging signal to each charging interface 603 through the first charging lead 601a and the second charging lead 603a included in each charging interface 603.

[0065] Optionally, the protocol identification module 602 determines the target charging parameters of the target charging signal output by the power interface according to the respective charging protocols of at least two terminal devices, specifically including: detecting whether at least two charging protocols corresponding to at least two terminal devices are compatible; when at least two charging protocols are compatible, determining the target charging parameters according to the charging parameters supported by each of the at least two charging protocols. When at least two charging protocols are incompatible, the preset charging parameters are determined as the target charging parameters. The preset charging parameters are equivalent to the default charging parameters. When at least two charging protocols are incompatible, the charging device uses the default charging parameters to charge each terminal device. The default charging parameters can be pre-set by the developer. For example, when the target charging parameter is the charging voltage value, the default charging voltage value can be 5V.

[0066] That is to say, in this application, when the above Figure 6 After at least two charging interfaces in the charging interface 603 are connected to the terminal devices respectively, the protocol identification module 602 will obtain at least two charging protocols corresponding to the at least two terminal devices, and detect the at least two charging protocols corresponding to the at least two terminal devices. If the at least two charging protocols are compatible with each other, the target charging parameters of the target charging signal that the power interface 601 needs to output can be determined according to the charging parameters supported by the at least two charging protocols. If the at least two charging protocols are incompatible, the preset charging parameters are determined as the target charging parameters.

[0067] For example, in the above Figure 6In the example, the terminal device connected to the first interface of the charging interface 603 supports the 9V output of the charging (Power Delivery, PD) protocol, and the terminal device connected to the second interface of the charging interface 603 supports the 12V output of the PD protocol. After the two charging interfaces are connected to the terminal devices respectively, the protocol identification module 602 will obtain the PD protocol 9V output and PD protocol 12V output protocols corresponding to at least two terminal devices, and detect the two charging protocols. When at least two charging protocols are compatible with each other, the target charging parameter (9V) of the target charging signal that the power interface 601 needs to output can be determined according to the charging parameters (9V, 12V) supported by at least two charging protocols. Among them, the charging parameter takes the charging voltage value as an example. The above two terminal devices support the PD protocol 9V output and the PD protocol 12V respectively. The protocol identification module 602 can determine that the target charging voltage value of the target charging signal that the power interface 601 needs to output is 9V according to the pre-set selection rules. When at least two charging protocols are incompatible, each terminal device is charged according to the preset charging voltage value 5V.

[0068] Optionally, the preset selection rule can be preset by the developer, and the preset selection rule can be as follows: according to the charging protocols of the at least two terminal devices, the charging parameters supported by the at least two terminal devices are obtained; from the parameter range composed of the charging parameters supported by the at least two terminal devices, the target charging parameter of the target charging signal output by the power interface 601 is determined. For example, still taking the target charging signal as a charging voltage signal and the charging parameter range supported by the charging protocol as a voltage range as an example, the charging parameters supported by the two charging protocols obtained above are 9V and 12V respectively, so that the parameter range composed of the charging parameters supported by the two terminal devices is obtained to be between 9V and 12V, and any voltage value between 9V and 12V is selected as the target charging voltage value.

[0069] In one possible implementation, the pre-set selection rule may be as follows: according to the charging protocols of at least two terminal devices, the charging parameters supported by at least two terminal devices are obtained; the average value of the charging parameters is obtained from the charging parameters supported by at least two terminal devices, and the average value of the charging parameters is determined as the target charging parameter of the target charging signal output by the power interface 601. For example, still taking the case that the target charging signal is a charging voltage signal and the charging parameter range supported by the charging protocol is a voltage range, the charging parameters supported by the two charging protocols obtained above are 9V and 12V respectively, so the average value of the charging parameters supported by the two terminal devices is (9+12) / 2=10.5V, and 10.5V is used as the target charging voltage value.

[0070] Optionally, the above selection rules are exemplary. In actual applications, other selection schemes may be used to select a voltage value as the target charging voltage value, which is not limited here.

[0071] It should be noted that the above target charging parameters are described using the target charging voltage value as an example. In actual applications, the target charging parameters may also be target charging current values, target charging power values, and various parameters in the target charging protocol, which will not be described one by one here.

[0072] Optionally, the charging device is electrically connected to the power supply device through the power interface 601; the protocol identification module 602 is also used to send the target charging parameters to the power supply device after determining the target charging parameters, so that the power supply device outputs the target charging signal to the power interface according to the target charging parameters. The power supply device can be a power adapter, a power bank, a socket, etc. that can directly provide a power interface 601 plug port, or it can be a desktop computer, a laptop computer, etc. that provides a power interface 601 plug port. Optionally, after the target charging parameters are determined as above, the protocol identification module 602 can transmit the target charging parameters to the power supply device connected to the power interface 601 through the two data transmission lines D+ and D- connected to the power interface 601, so that the power supply device outputs the target charging signal to the power interface according to the target charging parameters.

[0073] For example, the above determination shows that the target charging voltage value of the target charging signal that the power interface 601 needs to output is 9V. The protocol identification module 602 transmits 9V to the power supply device connected to the power interface 601 through the two data transmission lines D+ and D- connected to the power interface 601, so that the charging voltage value of the target charging signal output by the power supply device to the power interface 601 is 9V.

[0074] Optionally, when the power supply device is a power adapter, the above-mentioned sending of the target charging parameters to the power supply device is equivalent to sending a requirement for the target charging parameters (voltage, current or power) to the adapter, and the power adapter outputs corresponding target charging parameters based on the requirement, so that the charging power of the power adapter is maximized when the charging protocols of various terminal devices are well compatible.

[0075] Optional, in Figure 6 Among the various charging interfaces 603 shown in the figure, at least two charging interfaces 603 include charging interfaces corresponding to at least one interface standard. For example, at least two charging interfaces 603 are type-c interfaces. Or, at least two charging interfaces 603 are respectively a lighting interface, a micro b interface, and a type-c interface. The present application does not limit the specific form of the charging interface, and in theory, it can support various charging interfaces for charging provided by existing manufacturers.
