[0026] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. It will be appreciated that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application, rather than to limit the present application. It should also be noted that, for ease of description, only some but not all structures related to the present application are shown in the drawings. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in the art without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0027] The terms "first", "second", etc. in this application are used to distinguish different objects, rather than to describe a specific order. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, system, product or device that includes a series of steps or units is not limited to the listed steps or units, but optionally includes steps or units that are not listed, or optionally includes other steps or units inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0028] Reference to "embodiments" herein means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in conjunction with the embodiments may be included in at least one embodiment of the present application. The appearance of the phrase in various locations in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It is explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.

[0029] Combine the following Figure 1-Figure 6 , give a detailed description of the temperature control method.

[0030] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 : is a flow chart of a first embodiment of a temperature control method provided by the present application, and the temperature control method comprises:

[0031] Step S11: providing a setting interface, which displays parameter information of the terminal device; wherein the parameter information at least includes the current temperature, charging current and operating frequency of the processor of the terminal device.

[0032] The settings interface is a management tool for users to interact with terminal devices and configure terminal device parameters and functions. Users can configure and manage the parameter information of terminal devices through the settings interface according to their needs and preferences.

[0033] Specifically, the temperature of the terminal device is mainly affected by the charging current and the operating frequency of the processor. The size of the charging current directly affects the heat generated by the battery of the terminal device during the charging process. When the charging current is large, the chemical reaction inside the battery will be more intense, resulting in more heat generation, which will cause the temperature of the terminal device to rise; the processor is the core component in the terminal device, responsible for performing various computing tasks. When the processor runs at a high frequency, especially when performing complex calculations or running large applications, the processor load will increase and the operating frequency will increase accordingly, causing the temperature of the terminal device to rise.

[0034] The terminal device may be a mobile terminal such as a mobile phone or a computer; the processor mainly includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), etc. In one embodiment, the operating frequency of the processor of the terminal device may refer to the CPU main frequency, that is, the clock frequency of the CPU, which determines the execution speed of the CPU. Generally speaking, the higher the main frequency, the faster the CPU operation speed, but it also brings higher power consumption and heat generation.

[0035] See also Figure 2 , Figure 2 1 is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of a setting interface provided by the present application. In some embodiments, the setting interface also displays the charging efficiency corresponding to the charging current; during the process of adjusting the charging current, the charging efficiency corresponding to the current charging current is synchronously displayed.

[0036] Among them, the charging efficiency refers to the efficiency of converting the electrical energy received from the charger into the chemical energy stored in the battery during the charging process. When adjusting the charging current, a charging current that is too low cannot guarantee an efficient charging effect, and a charging current that is too high will cause the battery temperature to rise. Users can select a suitable charging current based on the displayed charging efficiency, thereby ensuring the charging effect of the terminal device while ensuring the user's temperature control experience.

[0037] In some embodiments, the settings interface provides adjustment controls for charging current and operating frequency of the processor.

[0038] In some embodiments, the adjustment control includes a first sub-control, a second sub-control and a third sub-control; the first sub-control is used to provide a selection function for the charging current and the operating frequency, the second sub-control is used to provide an increase and decrease setting function, and the third sub-control is used to provide an adjustment amplitude setting function.

[0039] Among them, the adjustment controls are arranged in the settings interface in an intuitive and user-friendly manner, allowing users to easily configure the charging current and operating frequency of the terminal device.

[0040] In an application scenario, the first sub-control is set in the first sub-interface and can be expressed in the form of icons, text boxes, etc. In this sub-interface, the user can freely switch between the preset charging current options and operating frequency options by clicking or sliding. After confirming the selection, enter the second sub-interface. The second sub-control can be presented in the form of symmetrical arrow icons, sliders, etc. The user only needs to touch the arrow or slide the slider to choose to increase or decrease the charging current or operating frequency. Then the third sub-interface pops up. In this sub-interface, the adjustment range can be selected through the third sub-control. The third sub-control can be implemented in the form of a slider, a numeric input box, etc. The adjustment range of the charging current or operating frequency is determined by sliding the slider or entering a specific number.

[0041] Step S12: receiving control data input by the user in the setting interface.

[0042] See also Figure 3 , Figure 3 is a flow chart of step S12 in one embodiment, and step S12 may specifically include:

[0043] Step S121: receiving control data generated by the user operating the adjustment control.

[0044] When the user operates the adjustment control to adjust the charging current and operating frequency, the terminal system will identify, analyze and execute the control data during the user's operation. The control data includes adjustment data for the charging current and the processor operating frequency, specifically including control data for increasing or decreasing the charging current according to a certain adjustment range, and control data for increasing or decreasing the processor operating frequency according to a certain adjustment range.

[0045] In one application scenario, the user adjusts the charging current and operating frequency according to his or her own needs. For example, if the user feels that the temperature rise experience is poor, the temperature of the terminal device can be lowered by reducing the charging current and operating frequency; if the user feels that the charging experience is poor and the charging efficiency is low, the charging current can be increased step by step; if the user feels that the performance experience is poor and the terminal device runs laggy, the processor operating frequency can be increased step by step.

[0046] Before step S13, refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 : is a flow chart of the third embodiment of the temperature control method provided by the present application. The method comprises:

[0047] Step S41: using the control data to estimate the adjusted charging current and the operating frequency of the processor.

[0048] Step S42: providing an adjustment prompt based on the adjusted charging current and the operating frequency of the processor; wherein the adjustment prompt is used to indicate whether there is an adjustment risk.

[0049] Among them, the charging current and operating frequency of the terminal device are important parameters to ensure the normal operation of the terminal device. Therefore, they need to be reasonably adjusted when there is no adjustment risk. When the power of the terminal device is too low, for example, it is lower than the power required to maintain the normal startup of the terminal device, when you choose to reduce the charging current or increase the processor operating frequency, it will accelerate power consumption and cause the device to shut down; when the terminal device is fully charged, if you choose to increase the charging current or reduce the processor operating frequency, it will cause overcharging damage to the battery and a decrease in the performance of the terminal device. By using control data to estimate the adjusted charging current and processor operating frequency, it is possible to predict whether the adjusted charging current and processor operating frequency will affect the normal operation of the terminal device, so as to provide adjustment prompts to remind the user whether there is an adjustment risk in the operation.

[0050] Step S13: Using the control data, the charging current of the terminal device and the operating frequency of the processor are adjusted, thereby changing the current temperature of the terminal device.

[0051] In some embodiments, see Figure 5 , Figure 5 is a flow chart of step S13 in one embodiment, and step S13 may specifically include:

[0052] Step S131: In response to the addition function of the second sub-control being selected, the charging current and the operating frequency of the processor of the terminal device are increased according to the adjustment range corresponding to the third sub-control.

[0053] Step S132: In response to the reduction function of the second sub-control being selected, the charging current of the terminal device and the operating frequency of the processor are reduced according to the adjustment range corresponding to the third sub-control.

[0054] Step S133: In response to the adjustment prompt indicating that there is no adjustment risk, the charging current of the terminal device and the operating frequency of the processor are adjusted using the control data.

[0055] Among them, in response to the user selecting the increase or decrease function of the second sub-control, the terminal device first confirms the validity of the selection, and then enters the adjustment mode. In this mode, the system will identify and obtain the adjustment amplitude associated with the third sub-control according to the user's custom settings. This adjustment amplitude represents the specific proportion or value by which the charging current of the terminal device and the operating frequency of the processor should be increased or decreased when the increase or decrease function is executed. Once the adjustment amplitude is obtained, the terminal device system will immediately trigger the adjustment mechanism to gradually increase or decrease the charging current of the terminal device and the operating frequency of the processor according to the determined amplitude. During this process, the system will monitor the adjusted state to ensure that the device can maintain a stable operating state while increasing performance.

[0056] Specifically, when adjusting the charging current of the terminal device and the operating frequency of the processor according to the adjustment range, the terminal device will estimate whether the adjusted charging current and operating frequency of the processor indicate that there is no adjustment risk, so as to ensure that all adjustments are made within a safe and reasonable range. If the adjustment prompt indicates that there is no adjustment risk, the terminal device will actually adjust the charging current of the terminal device and the operating frequency of the processor according to the adjustment data (i.e., the adjustment range) selected through the second sub-control and confirmed by the third sub-control. In this way, the overall performance and security of the terminal device are improved.

[0057] See also Figure 6 , Figure 6 : is a flow chart of a fifth embodiment of the temperature control method provided by the present application, and the temperature control method further includes:

[0058] Step S61: In response to the charging efficiency being lower than a preset efficiency, stop adjusting the charging current; wherein the increased power within the preset efficiency at least meets the basic power demand of the terminal device.

[0059] Among them, in the process of adjusting the charging current, the setting interface will synchronously display the charging efficiency corresponding to the current charging current. When the terminal device is charging, it will be charged according to a certain charging efficiency. The charging efficiency is determined by the design of the battery and charger of the terminal device, and usually changes as the charging process proceeds. At the same time, the user can also adjust the charging current according to their own needs to adjust the charging efficiency. When the user prioritizes his own temperature rise experience, it is necessary to control the temperature of the terminal device, which can be achieved by reducing the charging current. When the charging current is controlled to decrease so that the temperature of the terminal device decreases, the charging efficiency also decreases due to the decrease in charging current. In order to meet the basic power demand of the terminal device, a preset efficiency is set to ensure that the increased power within the preset efficiency at least meets the basic power demand of the terminal device.

[0060] A technical solution adopted by the present application is: to improve a temperature control method, which includes: providing a setting interface, the setting interface displays the parameter information of the terminal device; wherein the parameter information at least includes the current temperature, charging current and operating frequency of the processor of the terminal device; receiving the control data input by the user in the setting interface; using the control data to adjust the charging current and the operating frequency of the processor of the terminal device, thereby changing the current temperature of the terminal device. Through the above method, a setting interface that is easy for users to operate is provided, so that users can manually adjust the charging current and the operating frequency of the processor of the terminal device, thereby changing the current temperature of the terminal device, so that the performance of the terminal device can meet the user's usage requirements and improve the user's usage experience.
