[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of charging control, and in particular, to an electronic device with a battery and a charging control method therefor. Background Art

[0002] As mobile phones with fast charging functions become more and more popular, the situation of mobile phone batteries encountering high temperatures also increases. When the battery lasts for a longer time in a high-power and high-temperature environment, the battery life will be significantly reduced. Especially when the mobile phone is performing a navigation function while the vehicle is running, due to the surrounding environmental temperature and the heat generated by the mobile phone itself when running the navigation software, the mobile phone will be in a high-temperature environment for a long time. If there is a charging behavior for the mobile phone at this time, the temperature of the mobile phone battery will be even higher. Currently, there is no relatively feasible improvement solution to solve the above problems, resulting in a decrease in the service life of the mobile phone battery and a high user cost. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an electronic device with a battery and a charging control method therefor, so as to solve the deficiencies in the background art and improve the service life of the mobile phone battery.

[0004] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0005] A charging control method for an electronic device, which is applied to a terminal device. The terminal device includes a power control module, a navigation module, and a battery module. The charging control method for the electronic device includes the following steps: S1. In a general charging mode, the power control module charges the battery module under a first standard, and obtains a navigation information of the navigation module to extract a remaining navigation duration from the navigation information; S2. In the general charging mode, it is judged whether the power of the battery module is higher than a first power threshold; S31. When the power of the battery module is higher than the first power threshold, switch to a pause charging mode, and the power control module stops charging the battery module; S4. In the pause charging mode, it is judged whether the remaining navigation duration is lower than a time threshold; S52. When the remaining navigation duration is lower than the time threshold, switch to the general charging mode, and restart charging the battery module under a second standard.

[0006] Preferably, after step S31, the following steps are further included: S6. In the pause charging mode, it is judged whether the power of the battery module is lower than a second power threshold; S72. In the pause charging mode, when the power of the battery module is lower than the second power threshold, switch to the general charging mode, and the power control module charges the battery module under the first standard.

[0007] Preferably, in step S1, the power at which the power control module charges the battery module under the first standard is the first power; in step S52, the power at which the power control module resumes charging the battery module under the second standard is the second power, where the first power is greater than the second power.

[0008] Preferably, the method further includes the following step: S32. In the general charging mode, when the power level of the battery module is not higher than the first power level threshold, continue to charge the battery module under the first standard.

[0009] Preferably, the method further includes the following step: S51. In the pause charging mode, when the remaining navigation duration is not less than the time threshold, maintain the pause charging mode and stop charging the battery module.

[0010] To further achieve the above object, the present invention also provides the following technical solution:

[0011] An electronic device having a battery, comprising a battery module; a navigation module having navigation information; and a power control module. The power control module charges the battery module under a first standard in a general charging mode, and obtains the navigation information of the navigation module to extract a remaining navigation duration from the navigation information. In the general charging mode, the power control module determines whether the power level of the battery module is higher than a first power level threshold. When the power level of the battery module is higher than the first power level threshold, it switches to a pause charging mode, and the power control module stops charging the battery module. In the pause charging mode, the power control module determines whether the remaining navigation duration is lower than a time threshold. When the remaining navigation duration is lower than the time threshold, it resumes charging the battery module under a second standard.

[0012] Preferably, in the pause charging mode, the power control module determines whether the power level of the battery module is lower than a second power level threshold.

[0013] Preferably, the power at which the power control module charges the battery module under the first standard is the first power, and the power at which the power control module resumes charging the battery module under the second standard is the second power, where the first power is greater than the second power.

[0014] Preferably, in the general charging mode, when the power of the battery module is not higher than the first power threshold, the power control module continues to charge the battery module under the first standard.

[0024] Figure 1 FIG. is a schematic diagram of an electronic device 100 having a battery according to an embodiment of the present invention. The electronic device 100 having a battery includes a battery module 201; a navigation module 202 having navigation information; and a power control module 203. In a general charging mode, the power control module 203 charges the battery module 201 under a first standard, and obtains the navigation information of the navigation module 202 to extract a remaining navigation duration from the navigation information. In the general charging mode, the power control module 203 determines whether the power level of the battery module 201 is higher than a first power threshold. When the power level of the battery module 201 is higher than the first power threshold, it switches to a pause charging mode, and the power control module 203 stops charging the battery module 201. In the pause charging mode, the power control module 203 determines whether the remaining navigation duration is lower than a time threshold. When the remaining navigation duration is lower than the time threshold, it resumes charging the battery module 201 under a second standard. Additionally, the electronic device 100 having a battery may be a mobile terminal such as a mobile phone or a tablet computer.

[0025] Next, in the pause charging mode, the power control module 203 determines whether the power level of the battery module 201 is lower than a second power threshold. When the power level of the battery module 201 is lower than the second power threshold, it switches to the general charging mode, and the power control module 203 charges the battery module 201 under the first standard.

[0026] As a preferred embodiment, the power at which the power control module 203 charges the battery module 201 under the first standard is a first power, and the power at which the power control module 203 resumes charging the battery module 201 under the second standard is a second power, where the first power is greater than the second power.

[0027] As another preferred embodiment, in the general charging mode, when the power level of the battery module 201 is not higher than the first power threshold, the power control module 203 continues to charge the battery module 201 under the first standard.

[0028] As another preferred embodiment, in the pause charging mode, when the remaining navigation duration is not less than the time threshold, the pause charging mode is maintained and the charging of the battery module 201 is stopped.

[0029] The following takes Figure 2 and Figure 3 to illustrate a charging control method for an electronic device according to the present invention. The charging control method for the electronic device is applied to a terminal device. The terminal device includes a power control module, a navigation module, and a battery module. The terminal device may be a mobile phone. The mobile phone has a navigation module, i.e., a navigation APP, a battery module, and a power control module, i.e., the battery management function of the mobile phone system. Then, the charging control method is applied to the mobile phone. After receiving the charging control method, the power control module on the mobile phone can greatly improve the usage environment of the mobile phone battery, reduce its usage time in a high-temperature state, and extend the service life of the mobile phone battery by using the charging control method.

[0030] That is to say, through the electronic device 100 with a battery, the charging time of the mobile phone battery is divided into different time nodes, and it switches back and forth between the normal charging mode and the pause charging mode, so as to avoid the situation that the temperature of the mobile phone battery is too high and the time of the high temperature of the mobile phone battery is too long during navigation, reduce the consumption of the battery, and extend the service life of the battery.

[0031] Referring to Figure 2 , as a preferred embodiment, the charging control method includes step S1. In the normal charging mode, the power control module charges the battery module under a first standard and obtains a navigation information of the navigation module to extract a remaining navigation duration from the navigation information. The normal charging mode can be understood as a state where the mobile phone is in normal charging, such as a scenario where the mobile phone is charged through a charger or a power bank, etc. Then, in the normal charging mode, the battery module of the mobile phone is charged according to the first standard. The first standard may be a charging frequency, such as power. That is, in the normal charging mode, the battery module of the mobile phone is charged according to the first power. Then, the navigation information in the navigation module, i.e., the navigation APP, in the mobile phone is also obtained at the same time. The navigation information has various prompt messages, such as the remaining navigation duration. The remaining navigation duration can indicate that the current user is using the navigation APP and has entered the navigation use. The power control module can obtain the remaining navigation duration in the navigation information for use by communicating with the navigation module. In addition, as another embodiment, the acquisition of the navigation information can also be collected by a controller of the mobile phone, such as a CPU, and then the navigation information is sent to the power control module to realize the acquisition of the navigation information by the power control module.

[0032] In this embodiment, the charging control method includes step S2. In this general charging mode, the power control module determines whether the power level of the battery module is higher than a first power threshold. If the power level of the battery module is higher than the first power threshold, step S31 is continued; otherwise, if the power level of the battery module is not higher than the first power threshold, step S32 is continued. In step S2, the power control module determines whether the power level of the battery module is higher than the first power threshold, so that the power control module knows the state of the mobile phone battery at this time. Among them, the first power threshold is used to define whether the power level of the battery module reaches a specific power level, such as the battery power has been charged to 85%. And at this power level, the mobile phone will not be affected by insufficient power and affect normal operation for the time being. After defining the first power threshold in step S2, it can prepare for the subsequent charging control method.

[0033] Next, in this embodiment, in step S31, the charging control method includes that when the power level of the battery module is higher than the first power threshold, it switches to a pause charging mode, and the power control module stops charging the battery module. In step S31, the judgment result of step S2 has been received, which proves that the power level of the battery module is higher than the first power threshold at this time. Then at this time, the power control module will control the battery module to enter the pause charging mode, and the power control module will stop charging the battery module. For example, when the power level of the battery module is 88% at this time, as described above, when the first power threshold is set to 85% at this time, the power level of the battery module is higher than the first power threshold, and the charging of the battery module of the mobile phone will be paused, and the current state is the pause charging mode. That is to say, after execution, the battery module of the mobile phone will switch from the general charging mode to the pause charging mode, and at this time the power control module stops charging the battery module. In step S32, when the power level of the battery module is not higher than the first power threshold, continue to charge the battery module under the first standard. That is to say, at this time, the power level of the battery module is lower than the first power threshold, and it is necessary to continue charging the battery module until the power level of the battery module is the same as the first power threshold before switching to the pause charging mode.

[0034] In this embodiment, the charging control method includes step S4. In the pause charging mode, it is judged whether the remaining navigation duration is lower than a time threshold. If the remaining navigation duration is lower than a time threshold, step S52 is continued; otherwise, if the remaining navigation duration is not lower than the time threshold, step S51 is continued. In step S4, the power control module judges whether the remaining navigation duration is lower than the time threshold according to the navigation information, so that the power control module knows how long it will take for the navigation module of the mobile phone to end the navigation. The time threshold is used to define whether the remaining navigation duration of the navigation module reaches a specific time node. For example, when the time threshold is 20 minutes, in step S4, it is necessary to judge whether the remaining navigation duration is lower than 20 minutes. At this time, it is necessary to refer to the information in the navigation module about how long it will take to reach the end point, that is, the remaining navigation duration.

[0035] Next, in step S52, the charging control method includes that when the remaining navigation duration is lower than the time threshold, switch to the general charging mode and restart charging the battery module under a second standard. In step S52, the judgment result of step S4 has been received, which proves that the remaining navigation duration in the navigation module is lower than the time threshold at this time, that is, it is about to reach the end of the navigation. In order to ensure sufficient battery power of the mobile phone, the charging operation of the mobile phone will be restarted at this time. Then, at this time, the power control module will control the battery module to re-enter the general charging mode, and the power control module will restart charging the battery module. Moreover, at this time, it is recharged under a second standard different from the first standard. The second standard can be a charging frequency, for example, power, that is, when re-entering the general charging mode, the battery module of the mobile phone will be charged according to the second power. In addition, when the remaining navigation duration is not lower than a time threshold, step S51 is executed. In the pause charging mode, when the remaining navigation duration is not lower than the time threshold, maintain the pause charging mode and stop charging the battery module. In step S51, the judgment result of step S4 has been received, which proves that the remaining navigation duration in the navigation module is not lower than the time threshold at this time. Then, continue to stop charging the battery module to reduce the high temperature brought to the mobile phone by charging the battery and avoid too high temperature of the mobile phone battery.

[0036] It should be noted that in step S1, the power at which the power control module charges the battery module under the first standard is the first power; while in step S52, the power at which the power control module resumes charging the battery module under the second standard is the second power. Among them, the first power is greater than the second power. That is to say, the charging speed of the battery module is different under different powers. The charging speed under the first power is faster than that under the second power. In step S1, at this time, charging the battery module has just started, and it is suitable to increase the charging speed of the battery. While in step S52, since the battery module has been charged some time ago and still has a certain amount of power, the charging speed can be appropriately reduced at this time to reduce the heat generation of the battery module. Through such an adjustment method, the power of the battery module during charging at different time periods is changed to protect the battery module and extend its service life.

[0037] Refer to Figure 3 , As a preferred implementation manner, after step S31, the following steps are further included: S6. In the pause charging mode, determine whether the power of the battery module is lower than a second power threshold. This second power threshold is lower than the first power threshold. The purpose of setting step S6 is to prevent the power of the battery module from being too low and affecting the normal operation of the mobile phone due to the too long duration after the battery module enters the pause charging mode. Therefore, in step S6, the power control module determines whether the power of the battery module is lower than this second power threshold to determine whether the current power of the mobile phone is too low. When the power of the battery module is lower than the second power threshold, step S72 is executed. In the pause charging mode, when the power of the battery module is lower than the second power threshold, switch to the normal charging mode, and the power control module charges the battery module under the first standard. In step S72, the pause charging mode will be switched to the normal charging mode, so that the battery module is charged under the first standard, and the battery module is quickly charged to avoid the current power of the mobile phone being too low and affecting the normal functions of the mobile phone. Secondly, when the power of the battery module is not lower than the second power threshold, step S71 is executed. When the power of the battery module is not lower than the second power threshold, maintain the pause charging mode and stop charging the battery module. In step S71, the judgment result of step S6 has been received, which proves that the power of the battery module is not lower than this second power threshold at this time. Then maintain the pause charging mode and continue to stop charging the battery module to reduce the high temperature of the mobile phone caused by charging the battery and avoid the temperature of the mobile phone battery being too high.

[0038] In summary, through the control method composed of the above-mentioned multiple steps, the charging time of the mobile phone battery is divided into different time nodes, and it switches back and forth between the general charging mode and the pause charging mode, thereby avoiding the situation that the temperature of the mobile phone battery is too high and the time of the high temperature of the mobile phone battery is too long during navigation, reducing the consumption of the battery and prolonging the service life of the battery.
