[0025] Embodiment One

[0026] Figure 1A flowchart of a mobile power supply control method is provided for the first embodiment of the present application. The embodiment can be applied to the case of updating the TYPE-C input / output interface protocol of a mobile power supply that has been manufactured. The method can be executed by a mobile power supply control system.

[0027] As shown in Figure 1 , the method comprises:

[0028] S110, in response to the operation of the user interaction interface of the upper computer, sending an input / output interface protocol update control instruction and an input / output interface protocol firmware to the mobile power supply through a server matched with the upper computer.

[0029] The upper computer can be in the form of a PC (Personal Computer), a mobile terminal, etc. The user interaction interface is deployed and modified in the upper computer through a server matched with the upper computer. The server matched with the upper computer is the core, the upper computer is the on-site control core, and the user interaction interface is the interactive entrance. It should be noted that the user interaction interface is deployed, managed, and updated by a mobile power supply service provider through the server.

[0030] Specifically, the files related to the user interaction interface include codes, pictures, and data templates, etc., which are all stored in the server matched with the upper computer. The upper computer sends an access request of the user interaction interface to the server, the server packs and sends the user interaction interface data and the upper computer information to the upper computer, and the browser of the upper computer parses the user interaction interface data to display the user interaction interface.

[0031] The input / output interface of the upper computer is connected to the input / output interface of the mobile power supply through a data line.

[0032] In this embodiment, the user clicks the mobile power supply input / output interface protocol update button through the user interaction interface, and the upper computer sends a mobile power supply input / output interface protocol update request to the server matched with it in response to the key operation of the user interaction interface. After the server receives the request sent by the upper computer, it verifies the legality and sends the input / output interface protocol firmware to the upper computer after verification. After the upper computer receives the input / output interface protocol firmware, it sends the input / output interface protocol firmware and the input / output interface protocol update control instruction to the mobile power supply through the data line connection.

[0033] In this embodiment, on the one hand, data transmission can be achieved by connecting the input / output interface of the host computer and the input / output interface of the power bank via a data cable. Since the host computer, especially the mobile terminal, and the data cable are all essential devices for the user of the power bank, this embodiment achieves input / output interface protocol updates based on the data cable connection between the host computer and the power bank, without requiring the user to add any new hardware. On the other hand, the input / output interface protocol update request can be made through the user interface, without the need to download and update the application. Therefore, the technical solution of this embodiment saves user costs and improves the convenience and speed of power bank input / output interface protocol updates, both at the hardware and software levels.

[0034] Furthermore, prior to this embodiment, it also includes:

[0035] S1. Send a model query command to the power bank through a server matched with the host computer, and receive the model number from the power bank.

[0036] S2. In response to the model confirmation operation of the first user interface of the host computer, enter the second user interface of the host computer.

[0037] This embodiment also provides a method for automatically connecting devices and confirming their models before updating the input / output interface protocol of a power bank through a user interface.

[0038] Specifically, after connecting the host computer and the power bank via a data cable and logging into the user interface, the host computer's user interface detects a device connection. It then sends a model query command to the power bank through the server matched with the host computer and receives the model number from the power bank, thus automatically querying the power bank's model. The model number returned by the power bank can include both the power bank's model number and its input / output interface model.

[0039] Furthermore, since the power bank models and input / output interface models are different, the latest version of the input / output interface protocol firmware that matches them may be different. Therefore, in order to ensure the accuracy of the power bank input / output interface protocol update, this embodiment also provides a model confirmation method.

[0040] Specifically, after confirming the model of the power bank received from feedback, the power bank model and input / output interface model are displayed on the current first user interface, and a button is provided to confirm the model. After the confirmation button is triggered, the user is redirected to the second user interface to provide input / output interface protocol update service.

[0041] Correspondingly, S110 can include: in response to the operation of the user interaction interface of the host computer, determining, by the server matched with the host computer, the input / output interface protocol firmware matched with the model of the power bank and the model of the input / output interface, and sending the input / output interface protocol update control instruction and the input / output interface protocol firmware to the power bank.

[0042] Further, after confirming the model of the power bank and the model of the input / output interface, the host computer can jump from the first user interaction interface for model confirmation to the second user interaction interface for providing the input / output interface protocol firmware download service matched with the model of the power bank and the model of the input / output interface. In response to the download operation of the second user interaction interface, the server sends the input / output interface protocol firmware matched with the model of the power bank and the model of the input / output interface to the host computer. After receiving the input / output interface protocol firmware, the host computer sends the input / output interface protocol firmware and the input / output interface protocol update control instruction to the power bank through the data line connection.

[0043] S120, in response to the received input / output interface protocol update control instruction and the input / output interface protocol firmware, the control chip of the power bank controls the burning of the input / output interface protocol firmware to update the input / output interface protocol of the power bank.

[0044] It can be understood that the power bank further includes a protocol chip in addition to the control chip, and the protocol chip is used to control the input / output interface protocol. Specifically, after receiving the input / output interface protocol update control instruction and the input / output interface protocol firmware transmitted through the data line, the control chip MCU (Microcontroller Unit) of the power bank sends the input / output interface protocol firmware to the protocol chip and controls the protocol chip to burn the input / output interface protocol firmware, so as to realize the input / output interface protocol update of the power bank. The input / output interface protocol of the updated power bank can be compatible with the latest version of the power bank protocol, so that the power bank can provide an always up-to-date use experience.

[0045] Further, the embodiment also provides a way of updating the control chip program of the power bank, which can include:

[0046] S10, in response to the operation of the user interaction interface of the host computer, sending the control chip program update instruction and the control chip program to the power bank by the server matched with the host computer;

[0047] S20, updating the control chip by the control chip program update instruction and the control chip program received.

[0048] It can be understood that the mobile power service provider may update the control chip program for problem repair, setting optimization, etc. The embodiment provides a way to update the control chip program without the mobile power having a wireless application function.

[0049] Specifically, the user clicks the mobile power control chip program update button through the user interaction interface, and the upper computer responds to the key operation of the user interaction interface and sends a mobile power control chip program update request to the server matched therewith. After the server receives the request sent by the upper computer, the legality is verified and the control chip program is sent to the upper computer after the verification is passed. After the upper computer receives the control chip program, the control chip program and the control chip program update instruction are sent to the mobile power through the data line connection.

[0050] The embodiment can update the old program of the mobile power control chip through the user interaction interface of the control chip program of the upper computer through the data line connection, so that the mobile power control chip can update the latest version program after problem repair and configuration optimization in time, and the device use experience of the mobile power is improved.

[0051] Correspondingly, S10 can include: responding to the operation of the user interaction interface of the upper computer, determining the control chip program matched with the mobile power model through the server matched with the upper computer, and sending the control chip program update instruction and the control chip program to the mobile power.

[0052] Similarly, it can be understood that the version of the control chip program may be different due to different mobile power models, so after the mobile power model is confirmed, the upper computer can jump from the first user interaction interface for model confirmation to the second user interaction interface for providing the control chip program download service matched with the mobile power model. Responding to the download operation of the second user interaction interface, the server sends the control chip program matched with the mobile power model to the upper computer. After the upper computer receives the control chip program, the control chip program and the control chip program update instruction are sent to the mobile power through the data line connection.

[0053] Further, the embodiment also provides a way to obtain the mobile power running data, which can include:

[0054] S11, responding to the operation of the user interaction interface of the upper computer, sending a mobile power data acquisition instruction to the mobile power through the server matched with the upper computer;

[0055] S12, in response to the received mobile power data acquisition instruction, determining mobile power running data by the control chip of the mobile power, and sending the mobile power running data to the upper computer.

[0056] It can be understood that generally, the mobile power only displays basic parameters such as power, temperature, etc., and lacks battery performance detection and display, so that the user is difficult to know the running status of the mobile power in time. Therefore, the embodiment provides an implementation mode of mobile power running data acquisition based on data line connection.

[0057] The mobile power running data can include SOC (State of Charge, battery remaining power state), SOH (State of Health, battery health state), single battery voltage, single temperature, and battery cycle number, etc.

[0058] Specifically, the user clicks the mobile power data acquisition button through the user interaction interface, and the upper computer responds to the key operation of the user interaction interface, and sends a mobile power data acquisition request to the server matched therewith. After the server receives the request sent by the upper computer, the legality is verified, and after the verification is passed, the mobile power data acquisition instruction is sent to the upper computer. After the upper computer receives the mobile power data acquisition instruction, the mobile power data acquisition instruction is sent to the mobile power through the data line connection.

[0059] After the MCU of the mobile power receives the mobile power data acquisition instruction, it can collect real-time running data, and send the real-time running data to the upper computer through the data line; it can also send the real-time running data and the historical running data in a preset time period before the current time to the upper computer through the data line; it can also acquire historical fault records and fault specific information in a preset time period before the current time, and send the running data, historical fault records and fault specific information to the upper computer through the data line.

[0060] Further, after sending the mobile power running data to the upper computer, the mobile power running data and / or the historical control records matched with the mobile power can be displayed through the user interaction interface of the upper computer.

[0061] The historical control record refers to historical fault records and specific fault information in a preset time period before the current time. It can be understood that if the current mobile power supply is connected to the host computer through the data line for the first time and logs in to the user interaction interface, the historical control record can be obtained by the mobile power supply control chip and transmitted to the host computer through the data line. If the current mobile power supply is not connected to the host computer through the data line for the first time and logs in to the user interaction interface, the host computer can upload the historical control record obtained before to the server when the mobile power supply is connected to the host computer through the data line at least once before and logs in to the user interaction interface. The server stores the historical control record of the mobile power supply. When the mobile power supply is connected to the host computer through the data line and logs in to the user interaction interface next time, the historical control record of the mobile power supply can be directly called.

[0062] In this embodiment, after the host computer receives the mobile power supply running data feedback by the mobile power supply control chip through the data line, the mobile power supply running data can be displayed through the user interaction interface, so that the user can know the performance status and safety hazards of the mobile power supply at any time.

[0063] Further, after sending the mobile power supply running data to the host computer, the server matched with the host computer can perform mobile power supply health detection based on the mobile power supply running data, and the user interaction interface of the host computer can display the mobile power supply health detection result.

[0064] In this embodiment, the host computer can upload the mobile power supply running data to the server, and the server can perform mobile power supply health detection based on the mobile power supply running data. Specifically, the mobile power supply running data can be input into the mobile power supply health detection model by training the mobile power supply health detection model, and the model output of the mobile power supply safety hazards and user usage habit suggestions can be obtained as the mobile power supply health detection result. The server sends the mobile power supply health detection result to the host computer, and the host computer displays the mobile power supply health detection result through the user interaction interface.

[0065] Further, the input / output interface protocol update, the control chip program update of the mobile power supply, and the mobile power supply equipment health detection function can be integrated in one user interaction interface, Figure 2 A schematic diagram of a user interaction interface is provided, as Figure 2As shown, the first user interaction interface is used to realize mobile power supply model query and confirmation, and provides an operation help jump button. The second user interaction interface integrates input / output interface protocol updating, mobile power supply control chip program updating, and mobile power supply equipment health detection functions, and also provides an operation help jump button. Through the setting of a simple and clear user interaction interface, and providing operation help guidance for the user, the applicability and operation convenience are improved.

[0066] The embodiment can realize self, anytime mobile power supply input / output interface protocol updating, mobile power supply control chip program updating, and mobile power supply equipment health detection functions through the user interaction interface through the data line, does not depend on the wireless application program function of the mobile power supply, does not need to increase additional hardware cost, and is suitable for any mobile power supply. And without downloading and updating the application program, the user only needs to log in the user interaction interface through the upper computer when needing to use, so that the above functions of the mobile power supply can be realized quickly, and the user is provided with the latest experience of the mobile power supply that will never be out of date, and the safety guarantee of the health status of the equipment at any time.

[0067] The technical scheme of the embodiment of the application connects the input / output interface of the mobile power supply with the input / output interface of the upper computer through the data line, responds to the operation of the user interaction interface of the upper computer, sends the input / output interface protocol updating control instruction and the input / output interface protocol firmware to the mobile power supply through the server matched with the upper computer, and controls the protocol chip to burn the input / output interface protocol firmware after the control chip of the mobile power supply receives the input / output interface protocol updating control instruction and the input / output interface protocol firmware, so that the input / output interface protocol updating of the mobile power supply is realized. The problem that the mobile power supply that has been manufactured cannot be compatible with the updated interface protocol in the prior art is solved, the mobile power supply TYPE-C input / output interface protocol is updated, and new cost is avoided for the user in the hardware and software level.

A computer-readable storage medium can include, but is not limited to, an electronic, magnetic, optical, electromagnetic, infrared, or semiconductor system, apparatus, or device, or any suitable combination of the foregoing. Alternatively, a computer-readable storage medium can be a machine-readable signal medium. More specific examples of a machine-readable storage medium will include one or more lines of a program of instructions in a transitory signal, a portable computer diskette, a hard disk, a random access memory (RAM), a read-only memory (ROM), an erasable programmable read-only memory (EPROM or Flash memory), an optical fiber, a portable compact disc read-only memory (CD-ROM), an optical storage device, a magnetic storage device, or any suitable combination of the foregoing.

[0098] To provide for interaction with a user, the systems and techniques described here can be implemented on an electronic device having a display device (e.g., a CRT (cathode ray tube) or LCD (liquid crystal display) monitor) for displaying information to the user and a keyboard and a pointing device (e.g., a mouse or a trackball) by which the user can provide input to the electronic device. Other kinds of devices can be used to provide for interaction with a user as well; for example, feedback provided to the user can be any form of sensory feedback (e.g., visual feedback, auditory feedback, or tactile feedback); and input from the user can be received in any form, including acoustic, speech, or tactile input.

[0099] The systems and techniques described here can be implemented in a computing system that includes a back end component (e.g., as a data server), or that includes a middleware component (e.g., an application server), or that includes a front end component (e.g., a user computer having a graphical user interface or a Web browser through which a user can interact with an implementation of the systems and techniques described here), or any combination of such back end, middleware, or front end components. The components of the system can be interconnected by any form or medium of digital data communication (e.g., a communication network). Examples of communication networks include a local area network (LAN), a wide area network (WAN), a blockchain network, and the Internet.

[0100] The computing system can include clients and servers. A client and server are generally remote from each other and typically interact through a communication network. The relationship of client and server arises by virtue of computer programs running on the respective computers and having a client-server relationship to each other. The server can be a cloud server, also known as a cloud computing server or cloud host, which is a host product in the cloud computing service system, to solve the defects of large management difficulty and weak business scalability in traditional physical host and VPS service.

[0101] It should be understood that the various forms of flow shown above can be used to reorder, add or delete steps. For example, each step described in the present application can be executed in parallel, sequentially or in a different order, as long as the desired results of the technical solutions of the present application can be achieved, which is not limited herein.

[0102] The above detailed description does not constitute a limitation on the protection scope of the present application. Those skilled in the art should understand that various modifications, combinations, sub-combinations and substitutions can be made according to design requirements and other factors. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
