[0002] In recent years, the functions of terminal devices such as smart phones and tablet computers have gradually become rich, and their performance has also been greatly improved. While these improvements bring a better user experience to users, they also increase the power consumption of terminal devices. To adapt to the gradually increasing power consumption of terminal devices, on the one hand, the battery capacity of the device is increased, and on the other hand, the charging speed of the battery is increased. The battery capacity is limited by the size of the terminal device and cannot be greatly improved, but there have already been many fast charging modes to increase the charging speed. However, in related technologies, the fast charging mode can only be activated when charging with the original charger of the device, which greatly limits the applicable range of the fast charging mode and also results in a poor user experience.

The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present disclosure.

These terms are only used to distinguish the same type of information from each other. For example, without departing from the scope of the present disclosure, the first information may also be referred to as the second information, and similarly, the second information may also be referred to as the first information.

[0077] In recent years, the functions of terminal devices such as smart phones and tablet computers have become gradually richer and their performance has also been greatly improved. While these improvements bring a better user experience to users, they also increase the power consumption of terminal devices. In order to adapt to the gradually increasing power consumption of terminal devices, on the one hand, the battery capacity of the device is increased, and on the other hand, the charging speed of the battery is increased. The battery capacity is limited by the size of the terminal device and cannot be greatly improved, but there have already emerged many fast charging modes to increase the charging speed. However, in the related art, the fast charging mode can only be activated when charging with the original charger of the device, which greatly limits the applicable scope of the fast charging mode and also results in a poor user experience. For example, in the related art, for non-original chargers, the device will charge in the normal charging mode in cooperation with the charger, and the upper limit of the charging power of the normal charging mode is limited to a relatively low level, such as limited to below 30W, and its charging speed is much slower than that of the fast charging mode.

[0078] Based on this, in a first aspect, at least one embodiment of the present disclosure provides a charging control method, which can be applied to terminal devices such as smartphones and tablets. When a charger is connected to the device interface, the charging type and manufacturer type of the charger are identified, and then the device charges in a charging mode that matches the charger. Preferably, it charges in a fast charging mode to cooperate with the charger, thereby improving the charging speed of the device and the applicable range of the fast charging mode.

[0079] First, the concepts involved in this method are explained.

[0080] Fast charging mode: Also known as flash charging mode, it charges the device with a relatively high charging power (such as 90w, 120w, 210w, etc.), and the charging speed is relatively fast. During the charging process, the charging current and charging voltage can be adjusted. For example, it initially charges with a relatively high charging current and then gradually reduces the charging current. The fast charging mode can charge according to the current step charging curve configured in the configuration file. The current step charging curve includes the charging currents at multiple stages during the entire charging process. For example, the first charging stage is a constant current line, and other charging stages include a current drop curve and a constant current line. The device can be equipped with a fast charging chip and operate the fast charging mode by using the fast charging chip to control the charging current and charging voltage.

[0081] Normal charging mode: Also known as slow charging mode, it charges the device with a fixed charging current and charging voltage. Its charging power is relatively low (such as 30w), and the charging speed is relatively slow. The device can use a power management integrated circuit (PMIC) to maintain the above fixed charging current and charging voltage to operate the normal charging mode.

[0082] Please refer to the attached Figure 1 , which exemplarily shows the flow of the charging control method, including step S101 to step S102.

[0083] In step S101, in response to the device information meeting the preset requirements and a charger being connected to the device interface, the charging type and manufacturer type of the charger are obtained.

[0084] Among them, the device interface can be a charging interface, such as a USB-C (Universal Serial Bus Type-C) interface, a Micro USB (Micro Universal Serial Bus) interface, etc. The device interface can detect in real time whether a charger is connected.

[0085] Among them, whether the device information meets the preset requirements is used to characterize whether the device supports fast charging with a non-standard type of fast charging charger, that is, whether the device fast charges in cooperation with a non-standard type of fast charging charger in the fast charging mode, that is: if the device information meets the preset requirements, the device supports fast charging with a non-standard type of fast charging charger; if the device information does not meet the preset requirements, the device does not support fast charging with a non-standard type of fast charging charger.

[0086] The device information may include the device version, device location, etc. The device version can be determined by reading the flag bit in the NV on the BP side of the system. The device version often matches the device's release region. For example, the item #4 flag bit of nv#6853 is read to distinguish between the international version and the domestic version; the device location can be determined by reading the positioning program in the device. For example, the following any one of the ways can be used to determine whether the device information meets the preset requirements: in response to the device being powered on, determine whether the device information meets the preset requirements; in response to a charger being plugged into the device interface, determine whether the device information meets the preset requirements; periodically determine whether the device information meets the preset requirements.

[0087] Optionally, in response to the device version being the preset version, determine that the device information meets the preset requirements; and / or, in response to the device location being the preset location, determine that the device information meets the preset requirements. If in some regions (such as the EU region) it is required that devices in that region support fast charging with non-standard type of fast charging chargers, then the device version corresponding to that region can be determined as the preset version, or that region can be determined as the preset location.

[0088] Exemplarily, the following method can be used to obtain the charging type and manufacturer type of the charger:

[0089] Communicate with the charger using a fast charging protocol (such as the PD protocol, etc.). In response to successful communication, determine that the charging type is the fast charging type; in response to communication failure, determine that the charging type is the normal charging type.

[0090] Communicate with the charger using a standard type of encryption method. In response to successful communication, determine that the manufacturer type is the standard type; in response to communication failure, determine that the manufacturer type is the non-standard type. For example, the original device and the charger are respectively provided with the same encryption key. The device encrypts the message with this encryption key and sends it to the charger. If the charger can successfully decrypt and respond (or reply), then the charger is the original charger; if the charger cannot successfully decrypt and correctly respond (or reply), then the charger is not the original charger.

[0091] In step S102, in response to the charging type being the fast charging type and the manufacturer type being the non-standard type, the control device enters the fast charging mode, so that the charger charges the device with the charging parameters corresponding to the fast charging mode.

[0092] Optionally, when this step controls the device to enter the fast charging mode so that the charger charges the device with the charging parameters corresponding to the fast charging mode, specifically, the device can be controlled to enter the fast charging mode so that the charger charges the device with the upper limit of the charging power being the smaller of the upper limit of the charging power supported by the charger and the upper limit of the charging power supported by the device, and the upper limit of the charging current being the smaller of the upper limit of the charging current supported by the charger and the upper limit of the charging current supported by the device. For example, after the device enters the fast charging mode, obtain the upper limit of the charging power supported by the battery (i.e., the maximum charging power allowed by the battery) and the upper limit of the charging power supported by the charger (i.e., the maximum charging power that the charger can provide), and use the smaller of the two as the maximum charging power for this charging; and after the device enters the fast charging mode, obtain the upper limit of the charging current supported by the battery (i.e., the maximum charging current allowed by the battery) and the upper limit of the charging current supported by the charger (i.e., the maximum charging current that the charger can provide), and use the smaller of the two as the maximum charging current for this charging.

[0093] It should be understood that this embodiment allows a non-standard type fast charging charger to charge the device quickly, but the stability of the non-standard type fast charging charger is worse than that of the standard type charger. Therefore, the charging safety and charging stability (i.e., no phenomenon such as charging interruption) can be maintained by the methods provided by at least one of the following optional examples.

[0094] Optional example 1

[0095] During the process of the charger charging the device with the charging parameters corresponding to the fast charging mode, in response to the charging power reaching the preset power threshold and the duration of the charging current continuously being at the upper limit of the charging current reaching the preset duration threshold, reduce the charging power. Additionally, the upper limit of the charging power supported by the device can also be reduced synchronously.

[0096] For example, the preset power threshold is 44W.

[0097] For example, the preset duration threshold is 2 min.

[0098] For example, when reducing the charging power, the charging power can be reduced to 1 / 3 of the original value, or 1 / 3 of the upper limit of the charging power. For instance, the device can send a notification to the charger, requesting it to reduce the charging power to 1 / 3 of the original value or 1 / 3 of the upper limit of the charging power. If the upper limit of the charging power supported by the device is reduced synchronously, it can also be reduced to 1 / 3 of the original value.

[0099] In this optional example, when the charging power is high and the duration of the charging current staying at the upper limit of the charging current is long, the excessive current may cause the charger to have a high temperature. Especially for non-standard chargers, it is difficult to ensure the performance stability. Therefore, the charging power is reduced to lower the temperature of the charger, thereby preventing the charger from stopping charging due to overheating.

[0100] Optional Example 2

[0101] First, during the process of the charger charging the device with the charging parameters corresponding to the fast charging mode, obtain the temperature of the charger. For example, the device sends a GET_PPS_STATUS message to the charger according to the fast charging protocol (such as PD3.0 protocol), and the charger uses PPS_STATUS to respond to the GET_PPS_STATUS message. PPS_STATUS can be the temperature of the charger, or the magnitude relationship between the temperature of the charger and the first threshold and the second threshold. Therefore, the device can determine the magnitude relationship between the temperature of the charger and the first threshold and the second threshold according to PPS_STATUS. For example, the message format of PPS_STATUS can be shown in the following table:

[0102] Table 1: PPS_STATUS Message Format Table

[0103]

[0104] Furthermore, it can be:

[0105] In response to the temperature of the charger being less than the first threshold, keep the charging power unchanged.

[0106] In response to the temperature of the charger being not less than the first threshold, reduce the charging power. For example, in response to the temperature of the charger being not less than the first threshold and less than the second threshold, reduce the charging power. For another example, when reducing the charging power, reduce the charging power to 1 / 3 of the original value, or 1 / 3 of the upper limit of the charging power. Additionally, the upper limit of the charging power supported by the device can also be reduced synchronously, for example, also reduced to 1 / 3 of the original value.

[0107] In response to the temperature of the charger being greater than the second threshold, control the device to enter the normal charging mode, so that the charger charges the device with the charging parameters corresponding to the normal charging mode.

[0108] Please refer to the appendix Figure 2 , which exemplarily shows the flow logic diagram of this optional example. In the figure, Dmax represents the upper limit of the charging power supported by the device, Amax represents the upper limit of the charging power supported by the charger, Warm represents the first threshold, and Overtemp represents the second threshold.

[0109] In this optional example, by setting at least one temperature threshold, when the charger temperature is higher than a certain temperature threshold, the charging power is correspondingly reduced to avoid disconnection of charging caused by the charger being overheated for a long time (such as hardware disconnection or software disconnection); especially when the charger temperature is higher than the maximum temperature threshold, it can switch to the normal charging mode for charging, thus maximizing the avoidance of charging disconnection.

[0110] Optional Example 3

[0111] During the process of the charger charging the device with the charging parameters corresponding to the fast charging mode, control the device to disable the preset ratio mode of the charge pump. For example, the preset ratio mode is the 1:1 mode, etc.

[0112] It should be understood that in the fast charging mode, different ratio modes of the charge pump will be adopted throughout the charging process to meet the voltage requirements of the battery at each stage, etc. The higher the preset ratio of the charge pump, the higher the input voltage of the charger, and the lower the preset ratio of the charge pump, the lower the input voltage of the charger. The performance stability of non-standard fast charging chargers is difficult to guarantee. If the low voltage output in the lower ratio mode of the charge pump is unstable, it will affect the charging efficiency and stability. This example disables the lower ratio mode of the charge pump when using a non-standard fast charging charger to charge the device, which can avoid the unstable low voltage output of the charger from affecting the charging efficiency and stability.

[0113] Optional Example 4

[0114] During the process of the charger charging the device with the charging parameters corresponding to the fast charging mode, control the device to call the first charging configuration file, so that the charger charges the device with the charging parameters in the first charging configuration file; wherein, the charging current corresponding to each charging stage in the first charging configuration file is less than the charging current corresponding to the same charging stage in the second charging configuration file, and the second charging configuration file is the charging configuration file corresponding to a charger with a standard manufacturer type. Both the first charging configuration file and the second charging configuration file include the charging currents of multiple charging stages. Please refer to the appendix Figure 3 , which exemplarily shows the currents of each charging stage in the first charging configuration file and the second charging configuration file in the form of a step charging curve. It can be seen from the figure that the current of the first charging configuration file is lower than that of the second charging configuration file at each charging stage.

[0115] It should be understood that in the fast charging mode, during the entire charging process, charging is carried out according to the current requirements of each charging stage in the configuration file, so as to achieve the fastest charging speed. The performance stability of non-standard fast charging chargers is difficult to guarantee. If charging is carried out according to the charging configuration file of the standard type, current instability may occur in some charging stages. For example, the current is higher than the current requirement of the corresponding charging stage, which will affect charging safety and even cause phenomena such as hardware charging interruption. In this example, when using a non-standard fast charging charger to charge a device, a specific charging configuration file (i.e., the first charging configuration file) is used to guide the charging parameters, so that the charging current can be lower than the maximum current that the battery can withstand in each charging stage, thereby providing a buffer space for the unstable charger current and avoiding affecting charging safety due to the unstable charger current, especially avoiding the phenomenon of charging interruption.

[0116] The charging control method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can, in response to the device information meeting the preset requirements and a charger being connected to the device interface, obtain the charging type and manufacturer type of the charger, and in response to the charging type being the fast charging type and the manufacturer type being the non-standard type, control the device to enter the fast charging mode, so that the charger charges the device with the charging parameters corresponding to the fast charging mode. That is to say, when a non-standard fast charging charger is inserted into the device interface of a device whose device information meets the preset requirements, the device will charge in cooperation with the charger in the fast charging mode, so that non-standard fast charging chargers (such as non-original fast charging chargers) can also quickly charge the device, improving the charging speed, expanding the applicable range of the fast charging mode, and also improving the user experience.

[0117] In other words, the charging control method provided by the present disclosure can enable any fast charging charger that the device can be compatible with to achieve the same charging speed as the original charger, thereby improving the applicability between the device and the charger and improving the user experience.

[0123] In a possible embodiment of the present disclosure, the device further includes a first overheat protection module, configured to:

[0124] During the process of the charger charging the device with the charging parameters corresponding to the fast charging mode, in response to the charging power reaching a preset power threshold and the duration of the charging current continuously being at the charging current upper limit reaching a preset duration threshold, reduce the charging power.

[0125] In a possible embodiment of the present disclosure, the device further includes a second overheat protection module, configured to:

[0128] In response to the temperature of the charger being not less than the first threshold, reduce the charging power.

[0129] In a possible embodiment of the present disclosure, the second overheat protection module is further configured to:
