[0038] The exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein with reference to the attached drawings. The following description is merely exemplary and explanatory in nature and is not intended to limit the disclosure, unless otherwise specified. Rather, they are examples of apparatus and methods consistent with some aspects of the disclosure, as detailed in the appended claims.

It will also be understood that the term "and / or" as used herein refers to and encompasses any and all possible combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0040] It will be understood that, although the terms first, second, third, etc. can be used herein to describe various information, these terms are not intended to denote a temporal or chronological order. Rather, these terms are used solely to distinguish one from another only. For example, a first information can be termed a second information, and similarly, a second information can also be termed a first information, without departing from the scope of the present disclosure. Depending on the context, the word "if' as used herein can be interpreted to mean "when" or "in response to determining" or "in response to a determination".

[0041] The charging methods of electronic devices (e.g. mobile phones) usually include wired charging method and wireless charging method. Generally speaking, the wired charging method can provide a higher charging rate, while the wireless charging method can provide a better charging experience due to the lack of restrictions from the length of the wire and the interface.

[0042] In order to meet the diversified needs of users, the prior art configures two charging devices (wired charging device and wireless charging device) for a mobile phone, so that the user can realize wired charging and wireless charging.

[0043] In this case, the user needs to purchase two chargers for a mobile phone.

[0044] However, the two chargers will occupy two charging sockets, and since the two chargers are not integrated together, it is easy to forget where the other charger is after long-term use of one of the chargers.

[0045] This is not convenient for the user, and therefore, the present disclosure provides a charging device and a charging method of the charging device to improve the charging experience of the user.

[0046] By way of example, two different charging modules are included in the charging device:

[0047] At this time, the charging device includes:

[0048] The main control circuit, the first charging module and the second charging module; the first charging module is different from the second charging module; the main control circuit is used for starting the first charging module when it is determined that the to-be-identified cable is a first cable, and / or starting the second charging module when it is determined that the to-be-identified cable is a second cable; the to-be-identified cable is electrically connected with the charging device, and the first cable and the second cable are different.

[0049] For example, the first charging module is a wired charging module, and the second charging module is a wireless charging module. Then, the first cable is a cable used for wired charging, and the second cable is a cable used for wireless charging.

[0050] Based on this mode, Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a charging device according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, as Figure 1 indicated: the number 101 is the charging device in the present disclosure.

[0051] The cable 102 and the device 103 (containing a wireless charging coil).

[0052] When the charging device 101 is electrically connected with one end of the cable 102, if the other end of the cable 102 is directly electrically connected with a to-be-charged device, the to-be-charged device can be charged, and the connection mode is as Figure 2 indicated, it can be seen that the charging device 101 charges the to-be-charged device 104 through the cable 102.

[0053] At this time, the main control module in the charging device 101 can identify the cable 102 as a first cable (a cable of a wired charging mode), so the first charging module adapted to the first cable is started to supply power, and the to-be-charged device can be supplied with power through the wired charging mode.

[0054] When the charging device 101 is electrically connected with one end of the cable 102, and the other end of the cable 102 is connected with the device 103, at this time, the user places the to-be-charged device near the device 103 (for example, on the slot shown in the figure), and the to-be-charged device can also be charged, and the connection mode is as Figure 3 indicated, it can be seen that the charging device 101 charges the to-be-charged device 104 through the cable 102 and the device 103 (containing a wireless coil).

[0055] At this time, the main control module in the charging device 101 can identify the coil in the cable 102+device 103 as a second cable (a cable of a wireless charging mode), so the second charging module adapted to the second cable is started to supply power, and the to-be-charged device can be supplied with power through the wireless charging mode.

[0056] In summary, since the charging device includes a master control module and a plurality of different charging modules, a plurality of charging modes can be realized by starting different charging modules. Different cables are used in different charging modes, for example, the cable for wired charging does not include a coil, and the cable for wireless charging includes a coil (for electromagnetic induction with the device to be charged). For another example, the protocols in the two different cables, fast charging cable and slow charging cable, are different, so the charging modes are also different (fast charging and slow charging).

[0057] Based on this, the master control module can identify the cable type of the target cable electrically connected to the charging device, and then start the charging module adapted to this cable type to supply power. In this way, a plurality of charging modes can be provided by one charging device, and the user does not need to configure multiple charging devices for one mobile phone.

[0058] Optionally, the method applies the master control module of the charging device shown in the above embodiments, Figure 4 is a flowchart of a charging method according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, as Figure 4 shown, the method comprises the following steps:

[0059] Step 401, in response to electrical connection with at least one target cable, sending a connection request to the communication module of each target cable.

[0060] One or more target cables can be inserted into the charging device. After the target cable is inserted, the master control module of the charging device can detect the target cable. In order to identify the cable type of the target cable, a connection request (or other handshake identification method) will be sent to each target cable. The master control module of the charging device is provided with a specific communication protocol, and the connection request is sent based on the communication protocol of the master control module.

[0061] Step 402, for each target cable, based on the feedback information sent by the communication module of the target cable, determining the cable type of the target cable; the cable type is multiple, and each cable type is adapted to a charging module.

[0062] The target cable also has a corresponding communication module, and the two can communicate. When the master control module sends connection information to the communication module of the target cable, if the communication protocols of the two are different, the communication module of the target cable will not return the corresponding feedback information, or return feedback information that cannot be decoded. If the protocols of the two are the same, the communication module of the target cable will return feedback information that can be successfully decoded by the master control module.

[0063] For example, when the cable type includes at least a first cable and a second cable, the cable type of the target cable can be determined in the following way:

[0064] Case 1: the target cable is determined as the first cable in response to the information that the wireless charging coil is not identified.

[0065] The case that the wireless charging coil is not identified includes at least one of the following:

[0066] Case 1: no feedback information is received.

[0067] For example, no feedback information is received within a specified time period.

[0068] Case 2: feedback information is received, but decoding fails.

[0069] When the communication protocol of the master module is inconsistent with the communication protocol of the target cable, even if the corresponding feedback information sent by the communication module of the target cable, decoding fails, thus the case of decoding failure occurs.

[0070] At this time, wireless charging cannot be performed because wireless charging requires that the wireless coil device be connected by a cable with the same communication protocol before wireless charging can be performed, and thus charging needs to be performed by wired charging.

[0071] Case 3: feedback information is received, decoding succeeds, and the information after decoding does not include information of the wireless charging coil.

[0072] When the communication protocol of the master module is consistent with the communication protocol of the target cable, the feedback information sent by the communication module of the target cable can be successfully decoded, and after successful decoding, whether the cable is connected to the wireless charging coil can be determined by reading the content in the feedback information. If decoding succeeds and the information after decoding does not include information of the wireless charging coil, it is considered that charging needs to be performed by wired charging.

[0073] Case 2: the target cable is determined as the second cable in response to the information that the wireless charging coil is identified.

[0074] For example, feedback information is received, the feedback information is successfully decoded, and the information after decoding includes information of the wireless charging coil, at this time it can be determined that charging is performed by the fast charging wireless charging method.

[0075] Step 403: controlling the target charging module to supply power to the target cable, the target charging module being a module in the plurality of different charging modules that is adapted to the cable type of the target cable.

[0076] In the above case of "the wireless charging coil not being identified", controlling the target charging module to supply power to the target cable includes:

[0077] control a first charging module preset for the first cable to start; wherein the first charging module comprises a first operation mode and a second operation mode, when no feedback information is received, or feedback information is received and decoding fails, the first charging module is controlled to start in the first operation mode; when feedback information is received, decoding succeeds, and information after decoding does not include information of the wireless charging coil, the first charging module is controlled to start in the second operation mode; the charging power of the first operation mode is lower than the charging power of the second operation mode.

[0078] The first operation mode is a normal wired charging mode, which does not have fast charging capability due to different communication protocols. The second operation mode is a fast wired charging mode, which has fast charging capability due to the same communication protocol.

[0079] In the case of identifying the information of the wireless charging coil, the control target charging module supplies power to the target cable, comprising:

[0080] Control the second charging module preset for the second cable to start.

[0081] In the above manner, the wired charging and the wireless charging can be flexibly switched by one charging device, or simultaneously operated.

[0082] As shown in Figure 5 The master control module identifies the cable type by the handshake recognition mode, and then adopts different charging modes according to different cable types.

[0083] Optionally, the control target charging module supplies power to the target cable, comprising:

[0084] In response to determining that the target cable is a cable of a plurality of different cable types, a target power is allocated to each of the target charging modules; and the target charging modules are controlled to operate according to the target power.

[0085] For example, it is assumed that the charging device has a plurality of charging interfaces (for example, two charging interfaces), the user inserts the first cable into one of the interfaces and inserts the second cable into the other interface.

[0086] At this time, the first charging module and the second charging module are started simultaneously, and since the power sources are the same, it is necessary to allocate the charging power of each charging module.

[0087] The distribution mode can be intelligent distribution to ensure that each charging module can operate according to the maximum charging power, or can be a priority distribution mode, for example, the first charging module corresponding to the first cable is preferentially provided (according to the maximum charging power that the first cable and / or the first cable connected to the to-be-charged device can withstand), and then the remaining charging power is provided to the second charging module corresponding to the second cable. Alternatively, the total power can be directly divided into two to supply power to two charging modules.

[0088] Figure 6 is a flowchart of another charging method according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, Figure 6 The steps in the above embodiment have been described in the foregoing embodiments, and will not be described here.

[0089] Figure 7 is a schematic diagram of another charging method according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, by Figure 7 The way shown in the figure determines whether the communication between the master module and the cable is successful:

[0090] The master module can support multiple communication modes, including but not limited to:

[0091] E-mark (electronic identification communication, Electromagnetic Mark Communication), Bluetooth communication, RFID (radio frequency identification, Radio Frequency Identification), NFC (near field communication, Near Field Communication), I2C (integrated circuit bus, Inter-Integrated Circuit), passive backscatter communication, …… Regardless of the communication mode, whether the communication is successful is determined by detecting whether the feedback information sent by the communication module of the cable is received. Taking RFID as an example, after the cable is inserted into the charging device, the product information stored in the chip of the communication module of the cable is sent out by means of the energy obtained by the induced current after receiving the radio frequency signal sent by the master module of the charging device, or the RF module in the cable actively sends a signal of a certain frequency, which is received and recognized by the charging device detection circuit, and then the data is interpreted, the information is read and decoded, and it is considered that the identification is successful. According to the content after decoding, it is determined whether the wireless charging coil is included and corresponding processing is performed.
