[0099] The technical solution of the present disclosure will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described implementation is a part of the implementation of the present disclosure, rather than all the implementations. Based on the implementation in the present disclosure, all other implementations obtained by ordinary technicians in the field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure. In addition, the technical features involved in the different implementations of the present disclosure described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0100] In the related art, the power supply equipment usually adopts the default universal power gear for power supply configuration, and then charges the power-consuming equipment. However, in this way, it is usually difficult to charge the power-consuming equipment with a large power while ensuring charging safety, and the charging efficiency is low.

[0101] Based on the defects of the above-mentioned related technologies, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a charging method, device, equipment, storage medium and product, which aim to improve the charging efficiency while taking into account charging safety.

[0102] A charging method is provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure, which can be applied to electronic devices. The present disclosure does not limit the type of electronic device, and the method can be any type of device suitable for implementation, such as a terminal device and a server, etc. The present disclosure will not elaborate on this.

[0103] See also Figure 1 The figure shows a charging scene. Figure 1The power supply device includes an electric device and a power supply device, and the electric device and the power supply device are connected by a charging cable. The electric device is an electronic device to be charged, such as a mobile phone, and the power supply device is a device used to charge other devices, such as a charger.

[0104] See also Figure 2 As shown, it is a flow chart of a charging method in an embodiment of the present disclosure. Figure 1 The method is described below. The specific implementation process of the method is as follows:

[0105] Step 200: After the power supply device detects a wired connection with the power-consuming device, it sends a power level broadcast message to the power-consuming device.

[0106] In one implementation, when executing step 200, the power supply device may adopt the following steps:

[0107] S2001: After detecting a wired connection with a powered device, a hard reset request is sent to the powered device, so that the powered device performs a hard reset operation.

[0108] As an example, after the charger detects a wired connection with the mobile phone (ie, one end of the charging cable of the charger is plugged into the mobile phone), the charger sends a hard reset signal to the mobile phone.

[0109] In this way, when connected, the charger can initialize the communication with the mobile phone by sending a Hard reset signal, which is equivalent to telling the mobile phone that the charger is ready to start charging and asking the mobile phone if it is also ready. This step is to synchronize the charging readiness status between the charger and the mobile phone to initialize device communication. Furthermore, through the Hardreset signal, the charger can learn the charging protocol, voltage and current requirements supported by the mobile phone, so as to adjust its output to match the needs of the mobile phone.

[0110] In one application scenario, the two ends of the charging cable are a large end (i.e., a plug) and a small end (data interface). Under related technologies, when a power supply device charges a power-consuming device through the charging cable, it is usually not possible to use a fast charging (Power Delivery, PD) protocol based on a universal serial bus (Universal Serial Bus, USB) as a charging protocol. In an embodiment of the present application, a Hard reset signal is used to enable the power supply device and the power-consuming device to charge using the PD protocol as a charging protocol.

[0111] S2002: Execute a power-off operation.

[0112] After a hard reset, the charger will temporarily power off for several milliseconds. This is a protection mechanism to prevent device damage or inefficient charging that may be caused by voltage or current mismatch.

[0113] S2003: When it is determined that the specified power-off duration has been reached, a power-on start operation is performed.

[0114] For example, the power-off duration may be specified to be several ms (milliseconds).

[0115] This gives the charger a chance to re-detect and re-confirm the connection to the phone during a power outage, ensuring that charging can then resume at the correct voltage and current.

[0116] S2004: Send a power level broadcast message including a plurality of common power levels to the power-consuming device.

[0117] The general power levels in the power level broadcast message are sorted in order from small to large or from large to small.

[0118] For example, the general power level is a standard PD protocol level, which may include: a fixed power data object (PowerDataObjects, Fixed PDO) level, and a programmable power supply (Programmable Power Supply, PPS) level.

[0119] As an example, the charger sends a source capability (source cap) message to the mobile phone, that is, a power level broadcast message. The source cap message is a broadcast message, which includes a Fixed PDO level and a PPS level, and in order from small to large, they are the Fixed PDO level and the PPS level.

[0120] In this way, the general power gears are sorted in a specific order, so that the electrical equipment can be selected according to the specific order, thereby improving the convenience of power gear selection.

[0121] Step 201: If a power level broadcast message sent by a power supply device is received, the power-consuming device sends a power supply configuration request message including a first power level to the power supply device.

[0122] Furthermore, the implementation process of step 201 may also include: if a hard reset request sent by the power supply device is received, the powered device performs a hard reset operation; the hard reset request is sent by the power supply device after detecting a wired connection with the power supply device.

[0123] In one implementation, when executing step 201, the electrical device may adopt the following steps:

[0124] S2011: If a power level broadcast message is received, obtain multiple common power levels included in the power level broadcast message.

[0125] S2012: Selecting a matching first power level from among the common power levels.

[0126] The first power level is a matching universal power level selected by the electrical equipment from various universal power levels.

[0127] It should be noted that one or more available power levels are set for each power-consuming device in advance, so that when determining that each general power level includes the available power level corresponding to the power-consuming device, it can be used as the first power level, which can also be called a safety level. This power level can ensure the normal operation of the PD protocol module in the power-consuming device. Therefore, the power corresponding to this power level is usually low, and the charging efficiency is usually low.

[0128] S2013: Based on the first power level, send a power supply configuration request message to the power supply device.

[0129] Step 202: If a power supply configuration request message is received, the power supply device supplies power to the power-consuming device at a first power level, and sends a power supply configuration confirmation message to the power-consuming device.

[0130] In one implementation, after receiving the power configuration request message, the power supply device returns a power configuration response message to the power-consuming device, such as a good cyclic redundancy check message (good CRC), to indicate that the power level requested by the power-consuming device is accepted, and the voltage and current corresponding to the output first power level are output, and a power configuration confirmation message is sent to the power-consuming device, such as a PS_RDY signal. After receiving the power configuration confirmation message, the power-consuming device can also return a configuration confirmation reception message to the power supply device, such as a good CRC.

[0131] Step 200 to step 202 are the initial stages of connecting the power supply device to the power-consuming device, so that the initial connection between the power supply device and the power-consuming device can be achieved.

[0132] Step 203: If the power supply configuration confirmation message returned by the power supply device is received, the powered device sends a role exchange request message to the power supply device.

[0133] Step 204: If the role exchange request message sent by the power-consuming device is received, the power supply device performs a role exchange operation and returns a role exchange acceptance message to the power supply device.

[0134] For example, the mobile phone sends a DR_SWAP role swap command (i.e., role swap request message) to the charger to actively apply for role swap, where the charger needs to support the role swap function. Previously, the charger led the communication, and after completing the role swap, the communication was switched to the mobile phone leading the subsequent charging process. After the switch was successful, an accept message (i.e., role swap acceptance message) was returned.

[0135] The roles include: Upstream Facing Port (UFP) and Downstream Facing Port (DFP). When the power-consuming device needs to be charged, it may be in the UFP role as the receiver of power, and when providing data services or power output to other devices, it may switch to the DFP role. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, before the role exchange, the roles of the power-consuming device and the power supply device are: UFP and DFP, respectively, and after the role exchange, the roles of the power-consuming device and the power supply device are: DFP and UFP, respectively.

[0136] In this way, the roles of the power supply device and the power consumption device can be exchanged to switch the device that leads the communication.

[0137] Step 205: If a role exchange acceptance message is received from the power supply device based on the role exchange request message, a security authentication is performed between the power-consuming device and the power supply device.

[0138] In one implementation, when executing step 205, the following steps may be used:

[0139] S2051: Send a device information request to the power supply device.

[0140] In one implementation, the type of the device information request may be a vendor defined message (VDM) message. For example, a Discover Identity (DiscIdentity) message (ie, a device information request) may be sent.

[0141] S2052: Receive power supply equipment information returned by the power supply equipment based on the equipment information request.

[0142] Optionally, the power supply equipment information may include at least one of the following items: a vendor identification code (VenderID, VID) and a product identification code (Product ID, PID).

[0143] S2053: Perform identity authentication on the power supply device according to the power supply device information.

[0144] S2054: If it is determined that the identity authentication is successful, a manufacturer information request is sent to the power supply device.

[0145] As an example, a DiscSVID command (ie, vendor information request) may be sent.

[0146] S2055: If the manufacturer identification information returned by the power supply device based on the manufacturer information request is received, the identification verification is performed according to the manufacturer identification information.

[0147] The manufacturer identification information may be a standard or manufacturer identification code (Standard or Vendor ID, SVID).

[0148] In this way, it is possible to identify whether the power supply device is a charger from a designated manufacturer, and to perform identification verification again based on the SVID information to further improve security. After the identification verification is passed, the private mode of communication can be entered, and the two can communicate through unstructured VDM messages.

[0149] S2056: If the identification verification is passed, the power supply device is authenticated to obtain an authentication result.

[0150] In one implementation, the power supply device can be authenticated using a SHA2-256 hash-based message authentication code (HMAC). During the authentication process, the power supply device generates a first authentication value and the power-consuming device generates a second authentication value. If the two are the same, the authentication is determined to be successful, otherwise, the authentication fails.

[0151] S2056: If the authentication result indicates that the authentication is successful, it is determined that the security authentication is passed; otherwise, it is determined that the security authentication has failed.

[0152] Furthermore, if the security authentication is passed, the power threshold can be determined according to the authentication result so as to reasonably select the subsequent power level. In one embodiment, the power threshold is obtained according to the first authentication value. The power threshold is the power range that the power supply device can provide to the power-consuming device.

[0153] Furthermore, after determining that the safety authentication has passed, the power supply current and can also be monitored, and a current compensation operation can be performed based on the monitoring result.

[0154] Among them, current compensation is to solve the problem of voltage loss caused by wire impedance. When the current passes through the wire, due to the impedance of the wire itself, the voltage actually reaching the device will be lower than the voltage output by the charger. This is especially obvious for high-power charging, because large currents will produce more voltage drops on the wire. In order to compensate for this voltage loss, the charger will increase the output voltage according to the output current. This is called line compensation or line loss compensation. For example, when testing a certain brand of charger, it can be observed that as the current increases, the voltage also increases accordingly, which is the embodiment of the current compensation function. This compensation mechanism ensures that even if there is line loss, the connected device can still receive a stable voltage and sufficient current, thereby speeding up the charging speed.

[0155] Step 206: If it is determined that the security authentication is passed, the power-consuming device sends a power supply capability request to the power supply device.

[0156] As an example, a source capability acquisition (Get source capability, Getsource cap) message, that is, a power supply capability request, is sent to the power supply device.

[0157] Step 207: If a power supply capability request is received from the power-consuming device when the power-consuming device determines that the security authentication is passed, the power supply device sends a plurality of second power levels to the power-consuming device.

[0158] After the power supply device and the power consumption device pass the safety authentication, the power supply device can broadcast all the second power gears supported by the power consumption device for the power consumption device to select.

[0159] Among them, the second power gear broadcast involves the communication protocol between the power supply device and the device (i.e., the power-consuming device). When the power supply device and the device are authenticated, the communication between them will enter a more secure and optimized stage. At this time, the power supply device will broadcast all the second power gears it supports, allowing the device to select the gear that best suits its current battery status and needs. This not only achieves fast charging, but also protects the battery from inappropriate voltage or current. These gears are designed according to the specific needs of the device and can provide more precise charging strategies. The use of the second power gear not only improves the charging efficiency, but also enhances the safety of the charging process. The implementation of this protocol relies on encrypted communication between the power supply device and the device, ensuring the security of data transmission and the correctness of the charging instructions. Only verified power supply devices can communicate efficiently with the device, making the charging process both efficient and safe.

[0160] Step 208: If the second power level returned by the power supply device based on the power supply capability request is received, the power-consuming device sends a power supply configuration adjustment message to the power supply device according to the second power level.

[0161] In one embodiment, there may be one or more second power levels, and a second power level not higher than a power threshold is screened out from each second power level; the maximum power level among the screened out second power levels is determined as the target power level, and a power supply configuration adjustment message including the target power level is sent to the power supply device.

[0162] The second power level is a selection of some power levels other than the general power level, and the second power level is not less than the first power level. Therefore, the charging efficiency can be improved.

[0163] Step 209: If a power supply configuration adjustment message sent by the power-consuming device according to the second power level is received, the power supply device adjusts the power level of the power supply based on the power supply configuration message.

[0164] In one implementation, if a power supply configuration adjustment message including a target power level is received from an electric device, the power supply device supplies power according to the target power level.

[0165] In this way, after identifying and authenticating the power supply device, charging can be performed at the safe maximum power, thereby improving charging efficiency.

[0166] Furthermore, in the above Figure 2 In the process of the charging method shown, if any interactive message between the power-consuming device and the power supply device (such as power level broadcast message, power supply configuration request message, power supply configuration confirmation message, role exchange request message, role exchange acceptance message, power supply capability request and power supply configuration adjustment message, etc.) is not transmitted successfully, power supply is maintained at the first power level.

[0167] See also Figure 3 As shown, it is an interactive flow chart of a charging method, taking the power supply device as a charger and the power consumption device as a mobile phone as an example, combined with Figure 3 , the above embodiments are further illustrated.

[0168] Step 301: After the charger detects that it is connected to the mobile phone by wire, it sends a hard reset signal to the mobile phone.

[0169] Step 302: The charger sends a power level broadcast message including a plurality of common power levels to the mobile phone.

[0170] Step 303: The mobile phone sends a power supply configuration request message including a first power level to the charger.

[0171] Step 304: The charger sends a power supply configuration response message to the mobile phone.

[0172] Step 305: The charger adjusts the power supply configuration and sends a power supply configuration confirmation message to the mobile phone.
