[0003] When a car battery is depleted, it cannot start normally. Usually, the only solutions are roadside assistance or using a jump starter. The former is labor-intensive, while the latter carries a risk of electric shock for those unfamiliar with jump-starting. Therefore, a convenient, safe, and quick method for jumping a car battery is urgently needed to resolve this issue. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application provides a charging method, apparatus, electronic device, and storage medium, which can conveniently, safely, and quickly solve the problem of battery depletion. The technical solution of this application is as follows:

[0006] According to the above technical means, the mobile device responds to the first operation and starts the reverse charging mode; in the reverse charging mode, the mobile device is in a discharging state; in response to the distance between the mobile terminal and the device being less than a preset distance, the wireless inductive charging device receives the discharge energy from the mobile device; the wireless inductive charging device amplifies the received discharge energy and uses the amplified voltage to charge the battery; thus, based on the technical solution of this application, the vehicle can be charged through the mobile terminal, ensuring that the vehicle can start normally even when the battery is low.

[0007] In one possible implementation, the method further includes: in response to a scanning operation, the mobile device obtains the model number of the battery; the mobile device determines whether it supports reverse charging of the battery based on the model number of the battery.

[0008] Based on the aforementioned technical means, the mobile device can respond to the scanning operation, obtain the battery model, and determine whether the battery supports reverse charging based on the battery model. This enables precise one-to-one jump-starting between the mobile device and the battery, avoiding ineffective jump-starting due to incorrect battery selection, or users enabling reverse charging mode when the battery does not support it, thus wasting the mobile device's power.

[0009] In one possible implementation, the method further includes: during the charging process, in response to the operation of starting the vehicle, the wireless inductive charging device detects the battery charge; when the battery charge is greater than a preset charge, it supplies power to the vehicle's starting device.

[0010] According to the above technical means, when the battery charge is greater than the preset charge, the battery can supply power to the vehicle's starting device, ensuring the vehicle starts normally.

[0011] In one possible implementation, the method further includes: in response to a vehicle start-up operation, the wireless inductive charging device detects the battery charge level; if the battery charge level is lower than a preset level, the wireless inductive charging device sends a prompt message to the mobile device, the prompt message indicating whether to activate the reverse charging mode.

[0012] Based on the aforementioned technical means, the wireless inductive charging device detects the battery's charge level and, when the battery's charge level falls below a preset level, sends a notification to the mobile device to prompt the user to activate reverse charging mode. This allows the user to accurately determine whether to use their mobile device to reverse charge the vehicle.

[0013] In one possible implementation, the wireless inductive charging device is compatible with the wireless charging protocol of the mobile device.

[0014] According to a second aspect of this application, a charging method is provided, applied to a wireless inductive charging device for a vehicle, the wireless inductive charging device being disposed in the vehicle's battery. The method includes: receiving discharge energy from a mobile device in response to a distance of less than a preset distance; amplifying the received discharge energy and using the amplified voltage to charge the battery; the amplified voltage being greater than a preset voltage.

[0015] In one possible implementation, the method further includes: during the charging process, in response to starting the vehicle, the wireless inductive charging device detects the battery charge; when the battery charge is greater than a preset charge, it supplies power to the vehicle's starting device; in response to starting the vehicle, it detects the battery charge; if the battery charge is lower than the preset charge, it sends a prompt message to the mobile device, the prompt message indicating whether to activate the reverse charging mode.

[0016] According to a third aspect of the application, an electronic device is provided, which may include: a processor and a memory for storing processor-executable instructions; wherein the processor is configured to execute the instructions to implement any of the optional charging methods of the first aspect above.

[0017] According to the fourth aspect of the application, a computer-readable storage medium is provided, on which instructions are stored, such that when the instructions in the computer-readable storage medium are executed by a processor of a computing device, the computing device is able to perform any of the optional charging methods of the first aspect described above.

[0018] According to a fifth aspect provided in this application, a computer program product is provided, the computer program product including computer instructions that, when executed on a computing device, cause the computing device to perform a charging method as described in any of the optional implementations of the first aspect.

[0019] Therefore, the above-mentioned technical features of this application have the following beneficial effects:

[0020] (1) Based on the mobile device responding to the first operation, the reverse charging mode is activated; in the reverse charging mode, the mobile device is in a discharging state; in response to the distance between the mobile terminal and the mobile terminal being less than a preset distance, the wireless inductive charging device receives the discharge energy of the mobile device; the wireless inductive charging device amplifies the voltage of the received discharge energy and uses the amplified voltage to charge the battery; thus, based on the technical solution of this application, the vehicle can be charged through the mobile terminal, ensuring that the vehicle can start normally even when the battery is low.

[0021] (2) The mobile device can respond to the scanning operation to obtain the battery model and determine whether the battery supports reverse charging based on the battery model. In this way, a one-to-one accurate jump-start between the mobile device and the battery can be achieved, avoiding invalid jump-start caused by selecting the wrong battery, or the user still turning on the reverse charging mode when the battery does not support reverse charging, resulting in wasted power of the mobile device.

[0022] (3) When the battery charge is greater than the preset charge, the battery can supply power to the vehicle's starting device to ensure the vehicle starts normally.

[0023] (4) The wireless inductive charging device detects the battery's charge level and, if the battery's charge level is lower than a preset level, sends a notification to the mobile device to prompt the user to activate reverse charging mode.

[0032] The embodiments of this application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this application from the content disclosed in this specification. This application can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and various details in this specification can also be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of this application. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments are only for illustrating this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application.

[0033] It should be noted that the illustrations provided in the following embodiments are only schematic representations of the basic concept of this application. Therefore, the drawings only show the components related to this application and are not drawn according to the actual number, shape and size of the components in the actual implementation. In the actual implementation, the form, quantity and proportion of each component can be arbitrarily changed, and the layout of the components may also be more complex.

[0034] In the description of the embodiments, "at least one" and "more than one" refer to two or more. The words "first" and "second" do not limit the quantity or execution order, and the words "first" and "second" do not necessarily mean that they are different.

[0035] The data involved in this application may be data authorized by the user or fully authorized by all parties.

[0036] As described in the background section, the battery is a very important electrical device in a car. This device mainly supplies power to the car's starting system, ignition system, electronic fuel injection system, and other electrical devices, enabling the car to start normally.

[0037] However, once the battery is depleted, the car cannot start. The only solution is to find a 4S shop or roadside assistance to have technicians connect jumper equipment to the battery's positive and negative terminals; or, if the car has a jumper adapter, the battery casing can be removed and the adapter used to jump-start the battery. The former method is more labor-intensive and involves waiting time; the latter carries a risk of electric shock for those unfamiliar with jump-starting.

[0038] Therefore, when a battery is low on power, a simple, safe, and quick jump-start method is needed to solve the problem. This method should reduce the cost of manual rescue and the safety risks to users when jumping the battery. It can be achieved by using a mobile device to wirelessly reverse charge the battery, thus enabling emergency jump-start.

[0039] Based on this, this application provides a charging method that amplifies the discharge energy of a mobile device and uses the amplified voltage to charge a battery, enabling the battery to meet the power requirements for vehicle startup.

[0040] For ease of understanding, the charging method provided in this application is illustrated below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, this application provides a charging system that may include a battery and a mobile device.

[0042] The battery can be a vehicle battery that supports wireless charging. For example, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the battery can be equipped with a wireless inductive charging device. This wireless inductive charging device can convert received energy into electrical energy and use that electrical energy to charge the battery.

[0043] Figure 1The mobile devices can be UEs, mobile stations (MS), or mobile terminals (MT), etc. Specifically, the terminal can be a mobile phone, tablet computer, or computer with wireless transceiver capabilities, etc.

[0044] In this embodiment, the mobile device is a device that supports reverse charging. Reverse charging (or reverse charging mode) can refer to the mobile device charging other devices wirelessly or via wired means.

[0045] In one example, the discharge voltage of a mobile device via reverse charging is generally no more than 10V, which cannot meet the voltage requirement of more than 12V when starting a small battery. Therefore, it is necessary to use a wireless inductive charging device in the battery to amplify the sensed discharge voltage of the mobile device to meet the requirements.

[0046] In one example, such as Figure 2 The image shows a wireless inductive charging device provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0047] The wireless inductive charging device may include multiple components, such as inductor L3, capacitor C1, diodes (VD1, VD2), and transistor VT1. The connection method of these multiple components can be as follows: Figure 2 As shown, no further details will be provided.

[0048] The following is combined Figure 2 The principle of this wireless inductive charging device will be explained.

[0049] The inductor L3 and transistor VT1 store the received discharge energy through inductance. When the stored energy reaches the preset amount, the circuit is disconnected. At this time, inductor L3 generates a sudden voltage, thus forming the first voltage source. The voltage of the reverse charging of the mobile device sensed by the wireless sensor forms the second voltage source. The first voltage source and the second voltage source are connected in series to form a voltage value greater than the preset voltage, which charges the battery.

[0050] The preset voltage is the voltage value required for the vehicle to start normally via the battery.

[0051] The following is combined Figure 1 The charging system described herein will be used to illustrate the charging method provided in the embodiments of this application.

[0052] Figure 3 This is a schematic flowchart illustrating a charging method according to an exemplary embodiment, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the charging method includes the following steps:

[0053] S301, In response to the first operation, the mobile device activates reverse charging mode.

[0054] The first step involves the user activating reverse charging mode by clicking the reverse charging button on their mobile device. In reverse charging mode, the mobile device is in a discharging state.

[0055] In one possible implementation, in response to a scanning operation, the mobile device obtains the battery model; based on the battery model, the mobile device determines whether it supports reverse charging of the battery.

[0056] The scanning operation involves the user scanning the battery using a mobile device to obtain the battery model.

[0057] In one example, after the mobile device's camera is turned on, if it detects that the distance between the mobile device and the battery is less than a first preset distance (e.g., 15 cm), the mobile device can scan the battery with its camera to obtain the battery's model number. To facilitate accurate identification of the battery model, a QR code can be affixed to the surface of the battery. The information carried in this QR code can be used to indicate the battery model. Thus, the mobile device can obtain the battery model by scanning the QR code. Based on this, the mobile device can perform a precise one-to-one jump-start with the battery, avoiding the need for the mobile device to be paired with other batteries.

[0058] After obtaining the battery model number, the mobile device can determine whether the battery and the mobile device are compatible based on a preset compatibility relationship. This preset compatibility relationship can include multiple battery models corresponding to the mobile device. If the mobile device and the battery are compatible, the mobile device can display a confirmation control. In response to clicking the confirmation control, the mobile device can activate reverse charging mode.

[0059] S302, In response to the distance between the wireless inductive charging device and the mobile terminal being less than a second preset distance, the wireless inductive charging device receives the discharge energy from the mobile device.

[0060] The second preset distance is the minimum distance at which the wireless inductive charging device can receive discharge energy from the mobile device.

[0061] In one possible implementation, during the charging process, in response to starting the vehicle, the wireless inductive charging device detects the battery's charge level; when the battery's charge level exceeds a preset charge level, it supplies power to the vehicle's starting device. The preset charge level is the minimum battery charge required for the vehicle to start.

[0062] S303 The wireless inductive charging device amplifies the voltage of the received discharge energy and uses the amplified voltage to charge the battery.

[0063] The amplified voltage is greater than the preset voltage.

[0064] In one possible implementation, in response to a vehicle start-up operation, the wireless inductive charging device detects the battery's charge level; if the battery's charge level is lower than a preset level, the wireless inductive charging device sends a notification message to the mobile device.

[0065] The preset battery level is the minimum battery level required for normal vehicle operation; the prompt message is used to remind the user whether to activate the reverse charging mode.

[0066] In one example, when the vehicle is started, the wireless inductive charging device detects the battery's charge level. If the battery's charge level is lower than a preset level, it indicates that the battery is in a depleted state. The wireless inductive charging device then sends a prompt message to the mobile device to determine whether the user needs to charge the battery.

[0067] In one embodiment, after the vehicle is started by the battery, the power battery's charge is converted into the battery's charge through a high-low voltage DC-DC converter.

[0068] based on Figure 3 According to the technical solution of this application, in response to the first operation, the mobile device activates the reverse charging mode; in response to the distance between the mobile device and the mobile terminal being less than a second preset distance, the wireless inductive charging device receives the discharge energy from the mobile device; the wireless inductive charging device amplifies the received discharge energy and uses the amplified voltage to charge the battery. Thus, based on the technical solution of this application, the vehicle can be charged via a mobile terminal, ensuring that the vehicle can start normally even when the battery is low.

[0069] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the method provided in this application may further include:

[0070] S401. The mobile device responds to the power-on operation and enables the reverse charging function.

[0071] S402. The mobile device obtains the model of the battery that needs to be charged and determines whether the mobile device supports reverse charging of the battery.

[0072] S403. If the mobile device supports reverse charging of the battery, the mobile device responds to the confirmation operation by reverse charging the battery.

[0073] S404. When the battery reaches the voltage required for startup, the mobile device can respond by ending the charging operation and disabling the reverse charging function.

[0074] The "end charging" operation can refer to the user clicking the "end charging" control on the mobile device.

[0075] In one example, if the battery has enough power to start the vehicle, the mobile device can display a control to end charging. Clicking this control disables the reverse charging function, ending the reverse charging of the battery.

[0076] For example, a mobile device can determine whether the battery has enough charge to start the vehicle based on the reverse charging time. For instance, if the reverse charging time exceeds a preset duration, it means the voltage supplied by the mobile device to the battery is sufficient to start the vehicle.

[0077] For example, a mobile device can determine whether its battery has enough charge to start the vehicle based on the amount of charge it discharges. For instance, if the mobile device's battery charge drops from 90% to 50%, it means that the battery has discharged a significant amount, which is sufficient to start the vehicle.

[0078] The specific implementation methods and technical effects of S401-S404 can be referred to the description of the above embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

[0079] In one embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, the wireless inductive charging device may include a distance sensing module, a wireless charging receiver module, and a voltage amplification module.

[0080] In one possible implementation, the distance sensing module specifically includes: sensing the presence of a reverse-chargeable mobile device within the maximum charging distance range, and transmitting indication information to the wireless charging receiving module.

[0081] The indication information is used to instruct the charging receiver module to receive the discharge energy from the mobile device.

[0082] In one possible implementation, the wireless charging receiver module specifically includes: receiving indication information from the distance sensing module and receiving the discharge energy from the mobile device, and transferring the received discharge energy to the voltage amplification module.

[0083] In one possible implementation, the voltage amplification module specifically includes: receiving discharge energy from the wireless induction receiving module, and amplifying the received discharge energy to enable emergency jump-starting of the battery.

[0084] As described above, this application can divide the wireless inductive charging device into functional modules based on the above method example. The integrated modules can be implemented in hardware or software. Furthermore, it should be noted that the module division in this application is illustrative and represents only one logical functional division; in actual implementation, other division methods are possible. For example, each function can be divided into its own functional modules, or two or more functions can be integrated into a single processing module.
