[0016] With reference to the drawings of the embodiments of the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of the present application.

[0017] In the embodiments of the present application, the inventor proposes a charging method, device and vehicle. When the vehicle is in a dormant state, the vehicle control module of the vehicle is woken up at a regular time. The vehicle control module wakes up the charging control module. The charging control module monitors the residual power of the movable vehicle-mounted equipment of the vehicle. When the residual power is less than a first threshold, the vehicle control module charges the movable vehicle-mounted equipment. In the above manner, the vehicle control module of the vehicle can be woken up at a regular time when the vehicle is in a dormant state. The vehicle control module wakes up the charging control module. The charging control module monitors the residual power of the movable vehicle-mounted equipment of the vehicle. When the residual power is less than a first threshold, the vehicle control module charges the movable vehicle-mounted equipment. When the vehicle is in a dormant state, the vehicle control module and the charging control module are woken up at a regular time. The residual power of the movable vehicle-mounted equipment can be monitored. When the residual power is lower than the first threshold, the movable vehicle-mounted equipment is charged. Thus, when the user wants to use the movable vehicle-mounted equipment next time, the use experience is not poor due to low power.

[0018] Please refer to Figure 1 The charging method provided in the embodiments of the present application comprises the following steps.

[0019] S110: When the vehicle is in a dormant state, the vehicle control module of the vehicle is woken up at a regular time.

[0020] The vehicle in a dormant state can be understood as that the vehicle power supply state of the vehicle is closed. All components of the vehicle are in a dormant state, that is, all components of the vehicle do not perform tasks.

[0021] The vehicle control module can be used for regular polling and charging control when the vehicle is dormant. The vehicle control module can be a VCU (Vehicle Control Unit).

[0022] As a way, when the vehicle is in a dormant state, the vehicle control module of the vehicle can be woken up at a regular time.

[0023] For example, the timer duration can be 24 hours. When the vehicle is in a sleep state, the timer can be started. After 24 hours from when the vehicle is in a sleep state, the vehicle control module can be woken up. After the vehicle control module is woken up, the timer can be reset and the timer can be restarted. If the vehicle remains in a sleep state for the next 24 hours, the vehicle control module can be woken up again after 48 hours from when the vehicle is in a sleep state. In other words, when the vehicle is in a sleep state, the vehicle control module can be woken up periodically.

[0024] It should be noted that when the vehicle control module is woken up, the vehicle also exits the sleep state and switches to the non-sleep state because the vehicle control module is in a non-sleep state.

[0025] S120: The vehicle control module wakes up the charging control module.

[0026] In one approach, after the vehicle control module is activated, it can activate the charging control module, mobile on-board equipment, body control module, and battery.

[0027] Among them, such as Figure 2 As shown, a charging control system 10 may be installed in the vehicle. The charging control system 10 may include a vehicle 100 and a mobile on-board device 200. The vehicle 100 may include a vehicle control module 102, a charging control module 104, a body control module 106, an energy output module 108, and a battery 110.

[0028] The charging control module 104 can be used to monitor the battery status of the portable vehicle-mounted device 200, control the charging of the portable vehicle-mounted device 200, send charging requests to the body control module 106, and receive electrical energy output from the battery 110. The charging control module 104 may include various sensors, thereby adjusting the charging current and voltage based on the information fed back by the sensors, so as to charge the portable vehicle-mounted device 200 under safe conditions.

[0029] The Body Control Module (BCM) 106 can be used to monitor the power status of the vehicle and send the power status to the charging control module 104, control the power output of the battery 110, and forward the charging request received from the charging module 104 to the vehicle control module 102.

[0030] The energy output module 108 can be used to charge the battery 110. When the vehicle is a fuel vehicle, the energy output module 108 can be an engine management system (EMS); when the vehicle is an electric vehicle, the energy output module 108 can be a battery management system (BMS).

[0031] The movable vehicle-mounted device 200 can be a vehicle-mounted unmanned aerial vehicle, a game console, an entertainment tablet, etc.

[0032] Optionally, the charging control module 104 can charge the movable vehicle-mounted device 200 in a wired or wireless manner.

[0033] It should be noted that when the charging manner corresponding to the movable vehicle-mounted device 200 is wired charging, the movable vehicle-mounted device 200 needs to be connected to the vehicle 100 through a charging line, so that the vehicle control module 102 can wake up the movable vehicle-mounted device 200 when the vehicle is in a dormant state. When the charging manner corresponding to the movable vehicle-mounted device 200 is wireless charging, the movable vehicle-mounted device 200 needs to be connected to the vehicle 100 through a wireless charging seat, so that the vehicle control module 102 can wake up the movable vehicle-mounted device 200 when the vehicle is in a dormant state. That is, in the embodiment of the present application, the basic condition for the present application to charge the movable vehicle-mounted device 200 is that the hardware modules between the vehicle 100 and the movable vehicle-mounted device 200 are connected to each other. Once the vehicle control module, the charging control module, the movable vehicle-mounted device, the vehicle body control module and the battery are successively awakened, a path can be formed, so that the remaining power and other information of the movable vehicle-mounted device 200 can be obtained.

[0034] S130: The charging control module monitors the remaining power of the movable vehicle-mounted device of the vehicle.

[0035] As a way, the charging control module can monitor the remaining power of the movable vehicle-mounted device by receiving the remaining power feedback from the awakened movable vehicle-mounted device.

[0036] S140: When the remaining power is less than a first threshold, the vehicle control module charges the movable vehicle-mounted device.

[0037] As a way, when the charging control module confirms that the remaining power is less than the first threshold, the charging control module can send a charging request to the vehicle control module through the vehicle body control module; after the vehicle control module receives the charging request, the vehicle control module controls the battery to charge the movable vehicle-mounted device.

[0038] The charging request can be a first charging request or a second charging request. The first charging request has a lower demand for vehicle power than the second charging request.

[0039] In some embodiments, when the charging control module determines that the remaining power is less than the first threshold and greater than the second threshold, the charging control module can send a first charging request to the vehicle control module through the body control module; and the vehicle control module, after receiving the first charging request, controls the battery to charge the movable vehicle-mounted device.

[0040] The first threshold is greater than the second threshold, and the first threshold and the second threshold of different movable vehicle-mounted devices can be different.

[0041] Optionally, the first threshold and the second threshold can be determined according to the power consumption speed of the movable vehicle-mounted device. The faster the power consumption speed of the movable vehicle-mounted device, the higher the first threshold and the second threshold can be. For example, the power consumption speed of the movable vehicle-mounted device A is greater than that of the movable vehicle-mounted device B, so the first threshold of the movable vehicle-mounted device A is greater than that of the movable vehicle-mounted device B, and the second threshold of the movable vehicle-mounted device A is greater than that of the movable vehicle-mounted device B.

[0042] Optionally, the first threshold and the second threshold can be determined according to the frequency of use of the movable vehicle-mounted device by the user. The higher the frequency of use of the movable vehicle-mounted device, the higher the first threshold and the second threshold can be. For example, the frequency of use of the movable vehicle-mounted device A is higher than that of the movable vehicle-mounted device B, so the first threshold of the movable vehicle-mounted device A is greater than that of the movable vehicle-mounted device B, and the second threshold of the movable vehicle-mounted device A is greater than that of the movable vehicle-mounted device B.

[0043] Optionally, after the vehicle control module receives the first charging request, the vehicle control module controls the battery to output power to the charging module, and controls the charging module to charge the movable vehicle-mounted device.

[0044] In the embodiments of the present application, at this time, the battery is only woken up and does not output power to the charging control module. Therefore, in order to ensure the continuity of charging and have enough power to charge the remaining power of the movable vehicle-mounted device to the first threshold or above, the battery needs to be controlled to output power to the charging control module, so the charging control module can send a first charging request at this time.

[0045] In some embodiments, when the charging control module determines that the remaining power is less than the second threshold, the charging control module can send a second charging request to the vehicle control module through the body control module; and the vehicle control module, after receiving the second charging request, can control the energy output module to charge the battery, and control the battery to charge the movable vehicle-mounted device.

[0046] Optionally, after receiving the secondary charging request, the whole vehicle control module can also control the battery to output electric energy to the charging module, and control the charging module to charge the movable vehicle-mounted device.

[0047] In the embodiment of the present application, since the remaining electric quantity of the movable vehicle-mounted device is too low, it needs to consume more electric quantity to charge it to the first threshold value and above, therefore, in order to ensure the continuity of charging and avoid the battery running out of power, it is necessary to control the energy output module to charge the battery, so at this time the charging control module can send a secondary charging request.

[0048] Optionally, within the first preset time after the charging control module initiates the charging request, if the battery does not output electric energy to the charging module, the charging module can stop charging the movable vehicle-mounted device and make the vehicle enter the sleep state. Thus, it can avoid the charging control module constantly initiating charging requests due to battery abnormalities or power / high voltage abnormalities, thereby making the vehicle unable to sleep.

[0049] The first preset time can be a preset value obtained based on multiple tests.

[0050] Optionally, within the first preset time after the charging control module initiates the charging request, if the battery does not output electric energy to the charging module, the charging module can stop charging the movable vehicle-mounted device and make the vehicle enter the sleep state. Thus, it can avoid the charging control module constantly initiating charging requests due to battery abnormalities or power / high voltage abnormalities, thereby making the vehicle unable to sleep.

[0051] Optionally, after the third preset time (that is, the duration of continuously charging the movable vehicle-mounted device is a duration corresponding to the third preset time) after the charging control module initiates the secondary charging request, the charging module can stop charging the movable vehicle-mounted device. Thus, it can avoid the vehicle being in a power consumption state all the time due to charging control module abnormalities (such as: unable to sense the remaining electric quantity of the movable vehicle-mounted device, etc.) or movable vehicle-mounted device abnormalities (such as: unable to charge, abnormal feedback of the remaining electric quantity, etc.).

[0052] The third preset time can refer to the duration required by the charging control module to charge the remaining electric quantity of the movable vehicle-mounted device from 0 to the first threshold value.

[0053] Optionally, after the charging control module charges the movable vehicle-mounted device, it can continue to monitor the remaining electric quantity of the movable vehicle-mounted device, and when the remaining electric quantity of the movable vehicle-mounted device is greater than or equal to the first threshold value, it can stop charging the movable vehicle-mounted device and re-enter the sleep state.

[0054] Optionally, when the charging control module confirms that the remaining power is greater than or equal to the first threshold, the charging control module can not send any charging request to the vehicle control module, and the vehicle control module can start timing after being awakened, and if the charging request is not received after a preset time, the vehicle can re-enter the sleep state.

[0055] Optionally, when the charging control module confirms that the remaining power is greater than or equal to the first threshold, the charging control module can send a sleep request to the vehicle control module, and the vehicle control module can make the vehicle re-enter the sleep state after receiving the sleep request.

[0056] The charging method provided by the embodiment can periodically wake up the vehicle control module of the vehicle when the vehicle is in the sleep state, wake up the charging control module by the vehicle control module, monitor the remaining power of the movable vehicle-mounted device by the charging control module, and charge the movable vehicle-mounted device by the vehicle control module when the remaining power is less than the first threshold. In this way, the remaining power of the movable vehicle-mounted device can be monitored when the vehicle is in the sleep state, and the movable vehicle-mounted device can be charged when the remaining power is less than the first threshold, so that the user can have a good experience when using the movable vehicle-mounted device next time.

[0057] Please refer to Figure 3 The charging method provided by the embodiment includes the following steps.

[0058] S210: When the vehicle is in the sleep state, periodically wake up the vehicle control module of the vehicle.

[0059] S220: Wake up the charging control module by the vehicle control module.

[0060] S230: Monitor the remaining power of the movable vehicle-mounted device by the charging control module.

[0061] S240: Charge the movable vehicle-mounted device by the vehicle control module when the remaining power is less than the first threshold.

[0062] S250: Monitor the remaining power of the movable vehicle-mounted device by the charging control module when the vehicle is not in the sleep state.

[0063] The vehicle not being in the dormant state can include two cases, the first case is that the vehicle power is in the ON state and the user is using the vehicle, and the second case is that the user has just left the vehicle and the vehicle power can be switched from the ON state to the OFF state in this period of time.

[0064] In the embodiments of the present application, the second case is mainly discussed. Therefore, from the relationship between the user and the vehicle, when the vehicle is not in the dormant state, it can be indicated that the user has just left the vehicle, and when the vehicle is in the dormant state, it can be indicated that the user has left the vehicle for a period of time (may be a few minutes, may be a few days or even a few weeks).

[0065] As a way, when the vehicle is not in the dormant state, the charging control module can monitor the remaining power of the movable vehicle-mounted device.

[0066] Optionally, when the vehicle is not in the dormant state, the charging control module can also monitor the vehicle power state.

[0067] Optionally, when the vehicle is not in the dormant state, the body control module can periodically poll the vehicle power state and send the polling result to the charging control module.

[0068] It should be noted that when the vehicle control module starts to charge the movable vehicle-mounted device through steps S210-S240, it can be equivalent to the vehicle changing from the dormant state to the dormant state, that is, after the vehicle control module starts to charge the movable vehicle-mounted device, the charging control module can monitor the remaining power of the movable vehicle-mounted device, and based on the remaining power of the movable vehicle-mounted device, the subsequent steps S260-S280 are performed.

[0069] S260: If the remaining power of the movable vehicle-mounted device is greater than the second threshold and less than the first threshold, the charging control module sends a first charging request to the body control module of the vehicle.

[0070] As a way, in one polling cycle of the body control module, if the vehicle power state is OFF and the remaining power of the movable vehicle-mounted device is greater than the second threshold and less than the first threshold, the charging control module can send a first charging request to the body control module of the vehicle.

[0071] S270: After receiving the first charging request, the body control module controls the battery of the vehicle to start charging the movable vehicle-mounted device.

[0072] As a way, after receiving the first charging request, the body control module can control the battery to start charging the movable vehicle-mounted device.

[0073] Optionally, after receiving the first charging request, the vehicle body control module controls the battery to output electric energy to the charging module, and controls the charging module to charge the movable vehicle-mounted device, so that the movable vehicle-mounted device can have enough electric energy to charge the remaining electric quantity to the first threshold value or above.

[0074] S280: After the second preset time, the vehicle body control module controls the battery to stop charging the movable vehicle-mounted device, and makes the vehicle enter the hibernation state.

[0075] The second preset time can refer to the time required to charge the remaining electric quantity of the movable vehicle-mounted device to the first threshold value. The second preset time can be obtained according to multiple test results, and different remaining electric quantities can correspond to different second preset times.

[0076] As one way, after starting to control the battery to charge the movable vehicle-mounted device, the vehicle body control module can control the battery to stop charging the movable vehicle-mounted device after the second preset time, and make the vehicle enter the hibernation state.

[0077] Optionally, after step S250 is performed, if the remaining electric quantity of the movable vehicle-mounted device is less than or equal to the second threshold value, the charging control module sends a second charging request to the vehicle body control module of the vehicle; after receiving the second charging request, the vehicle body control module controls the battery to charge the movable vehicle-mounted device, and controls the vehicle control module of the vehicle to charge the battery.

[0078] Optionally, in one polling cycle of the vehicle body control module, if the vehicle power supply state is off and the remaining electric quantity of the movable vehicle-mounted device is less than or equal to the second threshold value, the charging control module can send a second charging request to the vehicle body control module of the vehicle. The vehicle body control module can send the second charging request to the vehicle control module; when the vehicle is an electric vehicle, the vehicle control module controls the power battery of the vehicle to charge the battery after receiving the second charging request; when the vehicle is a fuel vehicle, the vehicle control module controls the engine of the vehicle to charge the battery after receiving the second charging request.

[0079] Optionally, during the charging of the movable vehicle-mounted device, the temperature of the built-in battery of the movable vehicle-mounted device can be monitored in real time. If the temperature is higher than the preset temperature in the current polling cycle, the movable vehicle-mounted device can not be charged in the current polling cycle; if the temperature is not higher than the preset temperature in the current polling cycle, the movable vehicle-mounted device can be charged in the current polling cycle, so as to avoid the abnormality of the movable vehicle-mounted device caused by the excessively high battery temperature.

[0080] Optionally, during the charging of the movable vehicle-mounted device, the body control module can continue to periodically poll the vehicle power supply state and send the vehicle power supply state to the charging control module, so that the charging control module can timely adjust the charging strategy, such as stopping charging, changing from a secondary charging request to a primary charging request, etc., thereby reducing the energy output of the vehicle itself as much as possible and improving the safety of the vehicle itself.

[0081] Optionally, during one polling cycle of the body control module, if the vehicle power supply state is on, the charging control module can continue to charge the movable vehicle-mounted device.

[0082] Optionally, during one polling cycle of the body control module, if the vehicle power supply state is off and the remaining power is greater than or equal to the first threshold value, the vehicle can be put into a sleep state.

[0083] The charging method provided in the embodiment can periodically wake up the vehicle control module of the vehicle when the vehicle is in a sleep state, the vehicle control module wakes up the charging control module, the charging control module monitors the remaining power of the movable vehicle-mounted device of the vehicle, and when the remaining power is less than a first threshold value, the vehicle control module charges the movable vehicle-mounted device. When the vehicle is in a sleep state, the vehicle control module and the charging control module are periodically woken up, the remaining power of the movable vehicle-mounted device can be monitored, and when the remaining power is lower than the first threshold value, the movable vehicle-mounted device is charged, thereby avoiding the situation that the user wants to use the movable vehicle-mounted device next time and the use experience is not good due to too low power. In the embodiment, when the vehicle is not in a sleep state, the charging control module can determine whether the movable vehicle-mounted device needs to be charged according to the vehicle power supply state and the remaining power of the movable vehicle-mounted device, so that the remaining power of the movable vehicle-mounted device is maintained at a high power while ensuring that the power supply system of the vehicle is less affected.
