[0058] Figure 6 is a block diagram of another electronic device shown according to an exemplary embodiment. Detailed Description of the Invention

[0059] Here, the exemplary embodiments will be described in detail, and the examples are shown in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present disclosure. On the contrary, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0060] First, the application scenarios of the present disclosure are introduced. The present disclosure is applied to the scenario of charging a terminal. Exemplarily, the terminal can be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a laptop computer, a smart bracelet or a smart watch, etc., which is not limited here. The terminal can include a fast charging function, and the fast charging function requires a relatively large charging power to achieve the effect of fast charging. In order to obtain a relatively large charging power, the charging current of the terminal can be increased during the charging process, or multiple charge pump chips can be controlled to work simultaneously.

[0061] However, during the charging process, the temperature of the terminal may rise too high due to too large a charging current. In the related art, the temperature rise of the terminal can be adjusted by adjusting the switch of the charge pump chip or adjusting the charging mode of the charge pump chip according to the charging power. However, the above temperature rise control method suppresses the temperature rise by suppressing the current, which will affect the charging speed and charging efficiency of the terminal and reduce the user experience.

[0062] To solve the above problems, the present disclosure provides a charging method, apparatus, electronic device, and storage medium; determining the usage status of a terminal; the usage status is used to characterize whether the terminal is in use; according to the usage status, determining a target charge pump chip from multiple charge pump chips; charging the terminal through the target charge pump chip; through the above technical solution, dynamic control of the terminal temperature rise can be achieved according to the usage status of the terminal, ensuring that the device temperature is within a suitable range, reducing the loss caused to the device, and improving the user experience.

[0063] Figure 1 is a flowchart of a charging method shown according to an exemplary embodiment, as Figure 1 shown, the method can be applied to a terminal, the terminal can include multiple charge pump chips, and the method can include the following steps.

[0064] S101. Determine the usage status of the terminal.

[0065] Wherein, the usage status is used to characterize whether the terminal is in use.

[0066] Exemplarily, the usage status of the terminal can be determined when it is determined that the terminal is in a charging state.

[0067] S102. Determine a target charge pump chip from multiple charge pump chips according to the usage status.

[0068] S103. Charge the terminal through the target charge pump chip.

[0069] Through the above technical solution, dynamic control of the terminal temperature rise can be achieved according to the usage status of the terminal, ensuring that the device temperature is within a suitable range, reducing the loss caused to the device, and improving the user experience.

[0070] Figure 2 is a flowchart of a charging method shown according to Figure 1 the exemplary embodiment of. As Figure 2 shown, the above step S102 can include:

[0071] S1021. Obtain the terminal operation parameters corresponding to the usage status.

[0072] S1022. Determine a target charge pump chip from multiple charge pump chips according to the terminal operation parameters.

[0073] In some embodiments, the terminal operating parameters may include the screen usage orientation; the above step S1021 may include: when the usage state is used to represent that the terminal is in use, obtaining the screen usage orientation of the terminal. The above step S1022 may include: determining the target charge pump chip from multiple charge pump chips according to the screen usage orientation.

[0074] Exemplarily, the screen usage orientation of the terminal can be determined by the gyroscope and accelerometer of the terminal. Since the technical solution for determining the device usage orientation by the gyroscope and accelerometer has been disclosed in relevant technical literature, it will not be elaborated here.

[0075] In some other embodiments, determining the target charge pump chip from multiple charge pump chips according to the screen usage orientation may include: determining the contact position between the user and the terminal according to the screen usage orientation; taking the chip with the largest distance from the contact position among the multiple charge pump chips as the target charge pump chip. In this way, the temperature at the contact position between the user and the terminal can always be in a lower range, thereby reducing the user's perception of the terminal's heat generation and improving the user experience.

[0076] In some embodiments, the screen usage orientation may include the portrait orientation or the landscape orientation; determining the contact position between the user and the terminal according to the screen usage orientation may include: when it is determined that the screen usage orientation is the portrait orientation, taking the bottom of the terminal as the contact position; or when it is determined that the screen usage orientation is the landscape orientation, taking the top and / or bottom of the terminal as the contact position.

[0077] Exemplarily, the portrait orientation may be that the user uses the terminal in the portrait orientation; the landscape orientation may be that the user uses the terminal in the landscape orientation. In this way, the contact position can be preset according to the user's usage habit, so that the contact position can be quickly determined according to the screen usage orientation, and then the target charge pump chip can be determined according to the distance between the contact position and the charge pump chip, improving the working efficiency.

[0078] In some other embodiments, the terminal operating parameters may include the terminal charging parameters; the above step S1021 may further include: when the usage state is used to represent that the terminal is not in use, obtaining the terminal charging parameters of the terminal. The above step S1022 may further include: determining the target charge pump chip from multiple charge pump chips according to the terminal charging parameters. Exemplarily, the terminal operating parameters may include the temperature, current, power consumption, etc. of the terminal, which are not limited here.

[0079] In some embodiments, the terminal charging parameter may include a first charging parameter of the terminal and / or a second charging parameter of the charge pump chip; determining a target charge pump chip from multiple charge pump chips according to the terminal charging parameter may include: taking the position with the smallest numerical value in the first charging parameter of the terminal as the first position; taking the chip with the smallest distance from the first position as the target charge pump chip; or, taking the chip with the smallest numerical value in the second charging parameter as the target charge pump chip.

[0080] Exemplarily, the first charging parameter of the terminal may be the first temperature of the terminal, and the second charging parameter of the charge pump chip may be the second temperature of the charge pump chip. For example, the position where the temperature with the smallest numerical value among multiple first temperatures of the terminal is located may be taken as the first position; and the chip with the smallest distance from the first position may be taken as the target charge pump chip. In this way, the position with a lower terminal temperature can be determined first, so as to control the chips near this position to work, realize the adjustment of the overall temperature of the terminal, and improve the user experience.

[0081] Exemplarily, the first charging parameter of the terminal may also be the first current of the terminal, and the second charging parameter of the charge pump chip may be the second current of the charge pump chip. Or, the first charging parameter of the terminal may also be the first power consumption of the terminal, and the second charging parameter of the charge pump chip may be the second power consumption of the charge pump chip.

[0082] In some other embodiments, determining a target charge pump chip from multiple charge pump chips according to the terminal charging parameter may further include: when the first charging parameter is less than or equal to a first preset threshold, taking the chip whose second charging parameter is less than or equal to a second preset threshold as the target charge pump chip.

[0083] Exemplarily, both the first preset threshold and the second preset threshold may be set by the user according to the actual situation of the terminal, and are not limited herein. In this way, the target charge pump chip can be quickly determined according to the magnitude relationship between the charging parameter value and the preset threshold, so as to charge the terminal through the target charge pump chip, improving the working efficiency.

[0084] In some embodiments, step S103 may include: charging the terminal at a preset current value through the target charge pump chip. In this way, the charging control of the chip can be realized by adjusting the current of the chip, so as to realize the dynamic control of the terminal temperature rise and ensure that the device temperature is within a suitable range.

[0085] In some other embodiments, the above method may further include: when it is determined that the terminal is in a specified usage scenario, the target charge pump chip may be used to charge the terminal according to a first preset current value. Exemplarily, the specified usage scenario may include a gaming usage scenario, a video usage scenario, etc., which is not limited herein; the first preset current value is less than the preset current value. In this way, when the terminal is in a specified usage scenario, the current of the chip can be adjusted to ensure that the charging temperature rise is within a suitable temperature range and avoid affecting the user experience.

[0086] It should be noted that the above method for determining that the terminal is in a specified usage scenario is a prior art and has been disclosed in relevant technical literature, which is not limited herein.

[0087] Figure 3 is a flowchart of another charging method shown according to an exemplary embodiment. As Figure 3 shown, the method may include the following steps:

[0088] S301. Determine the usage status of the terminal.

[0089] Wherein, the usage status is used to represent whether the terminal is in use.

[0090] When it is determined that the usage status of the terminal is used to represent that the terminal is in use, steps S302 - S303 are executed;

[0091] When it is determined that the usage status of the terminal is used to represent that the terminal is not in use, steps S304 - S305 are executed.

[0092] S302. Obtain the screen usage direction of the terminal.

[0093] Wherein, the screen usage direction may include a portrait direction or a landscape direction.

[0094] S303. According to the screen usage direction, determine the contact position between the user and the terminal; use the chip with the largest distance from the contact position among multiple charge pump chips as the target charge pump chip.

[0095] S304. Obtain the terminal charging parameters of the terminal.

[0096] Wherein, the terminal charging parameters include the first charging parameter of the terminal and / or the second charging parameter of the charge pump chip.
