[0070] like Figure 2 As shown, the present invention also provides a high-performance automated power consumption test method, which needs to provide a high-performance automated power consumption test system as described above, specifically comprising the following steps:

[0071] Step 1, build a power consumption test environment: connect the device battery 12 and the device body 11 of the device to be tested 1 to the power consumption acquisition device 2 respectively, and connect the power consumption acquisition device 2 and the device body 11 of the device to be tested 1 to the power consumption management platform 3 respectively;

[0072] Step 2: Timely synchronize the current time of the power management platform 3 and the power collection device 2. When the power collection device 2 is powered on and initialized, it will actively connect to the power management platform 3 for time synchronization. When the power consumption test is performed on the device to be tested 1, the power collection device 2 needs to synchronize with the power management platform 3 to ensure the time accuracy of the power collection data. And set the sampling frequency of the required power collection data, such as the shortest interval of each sampling is 220ns, that is, sampling once every 220ns;

[0073] Step 3, the power consumption collection device 2 sends the power consumption collection data to the power consumption management platform 3 at a set sampling frequency;

[0074] Step 4: Synchronize the current time of the device body 11 of the device to be tested 1 and the power consumption management platform 3; time synchronization can ensure the accuracy of the time information in the test data of the device body 11, and be consistent with the time of the power consumption collection data, so that the power consumption collection data obtained is more accurate.

[0075] Step 5, the device body 11 sends a request to bind the power consumption collection device 2 to the power consumption management platform 3. After receiving the request, the power consumption management platform 3 binds the device body 11 with the power consumption collection device 2. If the binding is successful, it goes to step 6; if the binding fails, it prompts an exception. The one-to-one correspondence between the device to be tested 1 and the power collection device used for testing is clarified, and the identification of the device body 11 is bound to the serial number of the power consumption collection device 2, so that the corresponding target can be found from multiple power consumption collection devices 2;

[0076] Step 6: After the binding is successful, select at least one test item that needs to be tested on the device body 11. When collecting one of the test items, only the operation of the target test item is started to implement the test operation of the single test item.

[0077] Step 7: After all test items of the device main body 11 are tested, the device main body 11 sends the test data corresponding to each test item to the power consumption management platform 3;

[0078] Step 8, the power consumption management platform 3 organizes the power consumption collection data and the test data, counts the power consumption collection data of each test item during operation, calculates the average power consumption, and generates a power consumption curve chart;

[0079] In this embodiment, step 8 specifically includes:

[0080] Step 81, the power consumption collection data carries a timestamp corresponding to the collection; the test data includes test project information, project start time, project end time and bound power consumption collection device 2 information;

[0081] Step 82: Find all power consumption collection data collected by the corresponding power consumption collection device 2 according to the bound power consumption collection device 2 information;

[0082] Step 83, determining multiple time intervals according to the project start time and the project end time corresponding to each test project, deleting the power consumption collection data that does not meet the time interval according to the timestamp carried by the power consumption collection data, and obtaining the target power consumption collection data;

[0083] Step 84: determine the project start time and project end time corresponding to each test project during the test process according to the test project information, and find the power consumption collection data belonging to the test project within the time interval according to the time interval corresponding to the project start time and the project end time and the timestamp carried by the target power consumption collection data;

[0084] Step 85, according to the specific value and number of the power consumption data collected for the test item, calculate the average power consumption and generate a power consumption curve graph;

[0085] Step 9, comparing the average power consumption with the benchmark power consumption of the test item, judging whether the average power consumption is abnormal according to the comparison result, and returning the judgment result to the device body 11;

[0086] In this embodiment, step 9 specifically includes:

[0087] Step 91, comparing the average power consumption of each test item with the benchmark power consumption of the test item;

[0088] Step 92: determine whether the difference between the average power consumption and the reference power consumption is within a preset error range. If so, the data is normal; if not, the data is abnormal.

[0089] Step 93: When it is determined that the data is abnormal, a warning message is generated, and the warning message is returned to the device body 11, and displayed in the power consumption management platform 3; when it is determined that the data is normal, normal information is generated and returned to the device body 11;

[0090] Step 94: After receiving the warning information or normal information, the device body 11 displays and prompts.

[0091] The advantages of the present invention are embodied in the following aspects:

[0092] Standardized test deployment: Relying on the power management platform 3, each device to be tested 1 is connected to the Internet in real time, and users can quickly collect power consumption data without complex configuration. At the same time, the power management platform 3 performs unified and regular storage and data analysis on the collected data, which can intuitively compare the data between different devices.

[0093] Persistent data analysis: Currently, most power consumption data is stored in the form of files on PCs, which cannot be effectively managed manually. When data report analysis is required, screening and comparison are difficult. The power consumption management platform 3 mentioned in the present invention has associated and stored the power consumption data during the test process, and provides power consumption curves and historical comparison functions.

[0094] Test automation: The present invention improves the automation level of power consumption and battery life tests of the device to be tested 1 in different scenarios, stores the data of the test interval online, forms an intuitive power consumption curve chart, and provides a historical comparison analysis and early warning function, thereby reducing power consumption test problems caused by manual intervention. This is of great significance for improving test efficiency and ensuring test quality.
