[0015] The term "embodiment" as used herein means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment can be included in at least one embodiment of the present application. The appearance of such a term anywhere in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment that contradicts other embodiments. Those skilled in the art can understand, explicitly or implicitly, that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.
[0016] Currently, when the battery of a portable power supply is low, users have to go to a battery exchange station to exchange the power supply, which is a waste of time for users, especially for users engaged in outdoor activities (such as outdoor live streaming, food stalls, etc.), and may cause financial and reputational losses for users, affecting the user's experience of using the portable power supply.
[0017] Based on the above, an embodiment of the present application provides a method for managing a portable power supply. When the battery of a portable power supply is low, the user does not need to personally go to a battery exchange station to exchange the power supply. When the portable power supply needs to be exchanged, the user simply confirms a delivery request, and the portable power supply will be delivered to the user's current location by a delivery person. This saves the user's time, allows users engaged in outdoor work (e.g., outdoor live streaming, food stalls, etc.) to work as usual, and improves the user's experience using the portable power supply.
[0018] Referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating the system architecture of a portable power supply management system according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 1, the portable power supply management system includes a server 101, a user terminal 102 corresponding to a first user, a delivery terminal 103 corresponding to a second user, and a first portable power supply 104. The connection between the user terminal 102 and the first portable power supply 104 may be a wired or wireless connection. Wired connection methods may include a data cable, a universal serial bus (USB) flash disk, etc., while wireless connection methods may include Bluetooth, wireless fidelity (WiFi), a network connection, etc. The user terminal 102 may include a smartphone (e.g., an Android mobile phone, an iOS mobile phone, a Windows Phone mobile phone, etc.), a tablet computer, a palmtop computer, a laptop, a mobile internet device (MID), a wearable device, etc. The delivery terminal 103 may include a smartphone (e.g., an Android mobile phone, an iOS mobile phone, a Windows Phone mobile phone, etc.), a tablet computer, a palmtop computer, a wearable device, etc. The connection method between the server 101 and the user terminal 102, and the connection method between the server 101 and the delivery terminal 103 may be a wireless network connection, etc. The above connection methods, user terminal 102, and delivery terminal 103 are merely examples and are not exhaustive. The above connection methods, user terminal 102, and delivery terminal 103 include, but are not limited to, these.
[0019] Power consuming devices that use the first portable power source 104 include outdoor mobile office equipment (e.g., devices that need to be charged, such as mobile phones, tablets, laptops, printers, cameras, and lights), outdoor sports equipment (e.g., cycling products that need to be charged, such as drones and electric scooters), indoor home appliances (e.g., household products such as lights and fans), in-vehicle equipment (e.g., products such as in-vehicle refrigerators, in-vehicle vacuum cleaners, and in-vehicle air purifiers), medical equipment (first aid equipment, such as pacemakers, ventilators, oxygen inhalers, electric wheelchairs, blood pressure monitors, and blood glucose meters), etc. The output ports of the power consuming devices may include USB, TYPE-C, etc.
[0020] In one possible example, the user terminal 102 outputs delivery suggestion information when the live streaming app is running, the camera is in use, and the status information of the first portable power source 104 does not meet a preset condition. The delivery suggestion information is used to suggest whether to replace the portable power source. When the user terminal 102 receives a confirmation command entered in response to the delivery suggestion information, it sends a delivery request to the server 101. In response to the delivery request, the server 101 determines a first battery exchange station within a preset distance range from the location of the user terminal 102 and determines a second portable power source matching the delivery request from the portable power sources included in the first battery exchange station. The server 101 generates a delivery task for the second portable power source based on the location of the user terminal 102 and instruction information for the second portable power source. The instruction information includes identification information and location information. The server 101 sends the delivery task for the second portable power source to the distribution terminal 103. The delivery task is used to instruct the second portable power source to be delivered to the location of the user terminal 102. According to this method, when replacing the power supply, the user does not need to go to a battery replacement station in person, and can continue his outdoor activities as usual, improving the user's experience of using the portable power supply.
[0021] A method for managing a portable power supply according to an embodiment of the present application will be introduced below.
[0022] Referring to Fig. 2, Fig. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a method for managing a portable power supply according to an embodiment of the present application. The method for managing a portable power supply can be executed by the server 101. As shown in Fig. 2, the method includes the following contents:
[0023] S201: The server receives a delivery request sent by the user terminal in response to a confirmation command. The confirmation command is input by the first user in response to delivery suggestion information. The delivery suggestion information is output by the user terminal when the live streaming app is running, the photographing device is in use, and the status information of the first portable power source does not meet the preset conditions. The delivery suggestion information is used to suggest whether to replace the first portable power source.
[0024] The confirmation command is input by the first user in response to the delivery suggestion information. Specifically, when the live streaming app is running, the filming device is in use, and the status information of the first portable power source does not meet the preset conditions, the user terminal can output the delivery information by generating an interface, or can output the delivery suggestion information via audio broadcast. After viewing or listening to the delivery suggestion information output by the user terminal, if the first user corresponding to the user terminal requires delivery service of the portable power source, they can input a confirmation command by swiping, clicking, voice, etc. After receiving the confirmation command input by the first user, the user terminal sends a delivery request for the portable power source to the server.
[0025] In one possible example, the failure of the status information of the first portable power source to satisfy the predetermined condition may include the battery charge of the first portable power source being below a power threshold, or the power supply parameters of the first portable power source not satisfying the predetermined power supply requirements. The failure of the power supply parameters of the first portable power source to satisfy the predetermined power supply requirements may include a power supply failure (e.g., the output voltage, output current, or output power being below a predetermined threshold), or may further include damage to the power supply (including damage to the external structure of the power supply or internal electrical components of the power supply).
[0026] In one possible example, the power threshold may be a predetermined fixed value (e.g., 20% of the maximum power capacity of the first portable power source), and may further be set based on the distance between the location of the user terminal and a battery exchange station within a predetermined distance range from the location of the user terminal.
[0027] In one possible example, the power amount threshold may be set based on the distance between the user terminal and a battery exchange station within a predetermined distance range from the user terminal. Specifically, the server may search for a battery exchange station within a predetermined distance range from the user terminal via the Internet based on the user terminal's location, obtain the distance between the user terminal's location and the battery exchange station, and determine the power amount threshold based on the distance. The user terminal's location may be obtained by a global positioning system (GPS) positioning module of the user terminal.
[0028] In one possible example, the power amount threshold may be further determined based on the distance between the nearest or farthest battery exchange station and the location of the user terminal. Specifically, the power amount threshold may be pre-calculated based on the nearest distance, or the power amount threshold may be pre-calculated based on the farthest distance.
[0029] In another possible example, the power amount threshold may be further set based on an average value of distances between the user terminal and a predetermined number of nearest battery exchange stations within a predetermined distance range from the user terminal's location. For example, the server obtains distances between the user terminal's location and a plurality of nearest battery exchange stations within a predetermined distance range from the user terminal's location, calculates an average distance based on the distances between the plurality of battery exchange stations and the user terminal's location, and determines the power amount threshold based on the average distance.
[0030] As can be seen, the distance to the battery exchange station and the power threshold are positively correlated. That is, the greater the distance, the greater the preset power threshold; conversely, the shorter the distance, the smaller the preset power threshold. Because the user must first go to the battery exchange station to pick up the second portable power supply before delivery, if the power threshold is preset based on the distance, the actual power threshold should be greater than the theoretical power threshold.
[0031] As can be seen from the above, in this embodiment, the user terminal or the server may further determine the power threshold of the first portable power source based on the distance between the user terminal and a battery exchange station within a predetermined range from the user terminal's location. Adaptively setting the power threshold can make the power threshold more scientific, reasonable, and accurate. Furthermore, before the battery of the first portable power source runs out, the user can obtain a second portable power source and continue their outdoor activity as usual.
[0032] In one possible example, the failure of the status information of the first portable power source to meet the predetermined condition may be due to the first portable power source having a low battery. The delivery prompt information output method may include displaying the delivery prompt information in the form of a pop-up window on the user terminal before the first portable power source has a low battery. The display content may include that shown in FIG. 3 . The first prompt interface 30 includes a first display area 301, a first function widget 302, and a second function widget 303. The first display area 301 is used to display a first prompt text message. The content of the first prompt text message may read, "The current portable power source has a low battery. Please select whether to replace the portable power source." The first function widget 302 may be a "Yes" button for inputting a confirmation command, and the second function widget 303 may be a "No" button for inputting a negative command. This is advantageous for promptly prompting the first user to decide whether to replace the portable power source when the portable power source has a low battery.
[0033] As can be understood, when the status information of the first portable power supply does not meet the preset condition, the first prompt text message can be adjusted according to the actual situation. For example, when the first portable power supply is faulty, the content of the first prompt text message can be "The current portable power supply is faulty. Please choose whether to replace the portable power supply or not."
[0034] In one possible example, the method for outputting the delivery suggestion information may include displaying it in the form of a pop-up window on the user terminal. The display content may include that shown in FIG. 4. The second prompt interface 40 includes a second display area 410, a third function widget 420, and a fourth function widget 430. The illustrated second display area 410 includes a first prompt text message, a first input widget 411, and a first selection widget 412. The illustrated second display area 410 is used to display the first prompt text message. The content of the first prompt text message may be, "The battery level of the current portable power source is low and the remaining usage time is 30 minutes. Please select whether to replace the portable power source." The first input widget 411 and the first selection widget 412 may be used by the first user to input outdoor activity instruction information. The outdoor activity instruction information may include the continuous usage time of the portable power source and the type of outdoor activity. The first input widget 411 The first user The first selection widget 412 is used to input the continuous usage time of the portable power supply. The first user The widget 420 is used to select the type of subsequent outdoor activity (e.g., camping, food stall, outdoor live streaming, etc.). The third function widget 420 can be a "Yes" button for inputting a confirmation command, and the fourth function widget 430 can be a "No" button for inputting a negative command. In this way, the user can submit more personalized needs, which is advantageous for later selecting a second portable power source that better suits the user's needs.
[0035] The second display area 410 further includes the remaining usage time of the first portable power supply, which is useful for the first user to determine whether to replace the portable power supply based on how long he or she needs to continue using the portable power supply.
[0036] In addition, the first user can selectively input and select relevant information according to his / her needs in the first input widget 411 and the first selection widget 412. This is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.
[0037] In one possible example, the method for outputting the delivery offer information can further include audio broadcasting. The user terminal can extract the text of the delivery offer information, convert the text into audio, and then broadcast it through an audio device connected to the user terminal or an audio device built into the user terminal. In this way, the first user Delivery information If the user cannot see the message, the user can further hear that the status information of the first portable power source does not meet the preset condition.
[0038] In one possible example, the method for outputting delivery suggestion information may further include displaying the information in the form of a pop-up window on the user terminal and simultaneously broadcasting it by voice. The first user can trigger the confirmation command by voice input, manual input (e.g., swiping, clicking), specific action input (e.g., nodding), etc. Triggering the confirmation command by a specific action requires the first user to take a photo of their current action using a photographing device on the user terminal. In this way, the first user can trigger the confirmation command in various ways. It is advantageous for the first user to trigger the confirmation command in different ways in different actual situations.
[0039] The delivery suggestion information may be output in the form of a pop-up window on the user terminal, or by voice broadcast, or both simultaneously, and may be flexibly set according to different needs of the first user, but is not limited thereto in the embodiments of the present application.
[0040] The delivery prompting information is output by the user terminal when the live streaming app is running, the camera is in use, and the status information of the first portable power source does not meet a preset condition. Specifically, when the live streaming app is running in the background of the user terminal and the camera is in use, i.e., when the user is live streaming, the user terminal acquires status information of the first portable power source (e.g., the voltage, current, power consumption, etc. of each port) in real time. If the acquired status information detects abnormal parameters, the user terminal outputs the delivery prompting information. The interaction between the user terminal and the first portable power source may be specifically realized by a specific application on the user terminal. The specific application may specifically be a dedicated application for the user terminal to check the usage status of the first portable power source. In this way, the user terminal can directly acquire status information of the first portable power source from the first portable power source in real time based on data interaction with the first portable power source, which can promptly detect abnormal conditions of the portable power source and alert the first user to the need to replace the power source, thereby facilitating timely replacement of the power source.
[0041] In addition, the user terminal can also obtain real-time status information of the first portable power source only when the first user is not live streaming and the first portable power source is in use. If the status information of the first portable power source does not meet the preset conditions, the user terminal can output delivery suggestion information to prompt the user whether to replace the portable power source. This is not a limitation of the embodiments of the present application.
[0042] In one possible example, the user terminal may determine power demand information after responding to a confirmation command input by the first user in response to the delivery suggestion information. The power demand information may include one or two of device attribute parameters of the power consuming device using the first portable power supply and outdoor activity instruction information. The user terminal generates a delivery request for the portable power supply based on the power demand information and sends the delivery request to the server.
[0043] In one possible example, the user terminal may acquire device attribute parameters of the power consuming device using the first portable power source after responding to a confirmation command input by the first user in response to the delivery offer information. The device attribute parameters of the power consuming device may include one or two of the interface type and power consumption parameters of the power consuming device currently using the first portable power source, or one or two of the interface type and power consumption parameters of the interface of the first portable power source that was used recently (e.g., during a predetermined period of time prior to the current time). The user terminal generates a delivery request for the portable power source based on the device attribute parameters of the power consuming device and sends the delivery request to the server. In this way, it is advantageous for the server to subsequently select a portable power source based on the device attribute parameters of the power consuming device using the first portable power source, so that the selected portable power source can normally operate the power consuming device used by the first user.
[0044] In one possible example, after responding to a confirmation command input by the first user in response to the delivery suggestion information, the user terminal can further acquire outdoor activity instruction information input by the first user in response to the delivery suggestion information. The outdoor activity instruction information includes one or two of the duration of use of the portable power supply and the type of outdoor activity. The user terminal generates a delivery request for the portable power supply based on the outdoor activity instruction information and sends the delivery request to the server. In this way, the first user can input the duration for which the portable power supply will continue to be used and the type of subsequent outdoor activity according to their own needs, so that the portable power supply later selected by the server can better suit the first user's actual needs.
[0045] S202: In response to the delivery request, the server determines a first battery exchange station within a predetermined distance range from the location of the user terminal.
[0046] In one possible example, the server can obtain the location of the user terminal, and further search the Internet for a first battery exchange station within a predetermined distance range from the location of the user terminal based on the location of the user terminal. The Internet search may specifically involve the server sending the location of the user terminal to a related server to realize a big data search function.
[0047] In one possible example, the delivery request may include the location of the user terminal, and the server can obtain the location of the user terminal from the delivery request.
[0048] The relevant server may specifically be a server provided by an Internet map platform. If there is no battery exchange station within a preset range from the user terminal, the server determines the battery exchange station closest to the location of the user terminal as the first battery exchange station.
[0049] As can be seen from the above, in this embodiment, the server can determine available battery exchange stations within a predetermined distance range from the user terminal based on the location information of the user terminal, thereby ensuring that a replacement portable power source is delivered before the remaining battery power of the first portable power source is used up, and further meeting the actual power source exchange needs.
[0050] S203: The server determines a second portable power source that matches the delivery request from the portable power sources included in the first battery exchange station.
[0051] After receiving the delivery request and determining the first battery exchange station, the server determines a second portable power source from the portable power sources included in the first battery exchange station based on the delivery request.
[0052] In one possible example, the server's determination of a second portable power source matching the delivery request from the portable power sources included in the first battery exchange station includes the following steps: the server obtains power demand information included in the delivery request; the power demand information includes one or two of device attribute parameters of the power consumption device and outdoor activity instruction information; the server determines a target interface type and a target battery capacity matching the power demand information; and the server determines a second portable power source from the rentable portable power sources included in the first battery exchange station based on the target interface type and the target battery capacity.
[0053] As can be seen from the above, in the embodiment of the present application, the server performs the second portable The power supply can also be matched. portable Users can submit their power needs, so that the server can select a second portable power source to meet the personalized needs of the first user and improve the user's delivery experience.
[0054] The power demand information includes one or more of device attribute parameters of the power consuming device and outdoor activity instruction information. The device attribute parameters include one or more of interface type and power consumption parameters. The outdoor activity instruction information includes one or more of continuous use time of the portable power supply and outdoor activity type.
[0055] As can be seen, in determining the target battery capacity, the power consumption parameter and the continuous use time are directly proportional to the target battery capacity, i.e., the larger the power consumption parameter or the longer the continuous use time, the larger the target battery capacity, and conversely, the smaller the power consumption parameter or the shorter the continuous use time, the smaller the target battery capacity.
[0056] In another possible example, the server's determination of a second portable power source from the rentable portable power sources included in the first battery exchange station based on the target interface type and target battery capacity includes the following: The server compares the interface type and battery capacity of each rentable portable power source included in the first battery exchange station with the target interface type and target battery capacity to obtain a matching degree for each rentable portable power source. The server determines the rentable portable power source with the highest matching degree as the second portable power source. Specifically, the server may first sort rentable portable power sources with battery capacities equal to or greater than the target battery capacity, then compare the interface types of the sorted portable power sources with the target interface type, and finally determine the portable power source with the highest matching degree of interface type as the second portable power source. For example, in the matching process, the total matching degree (hereinafter referred to as the total matching degree) is 100%, and whether the battery capacities are matched accounts for 50% of the total matching degree, and the interface type matching degree accounts for 50% of the total matching degree. If the battery capacity is equal to or greater than the target battery capacity, the battery capacity is matched. Conversely, if the battery capacity is smaller than the target battery capacity, the battery capacity is not matched. The interface type includes the type and number of interfaces, and indicates the degree of interface type matching. eyes It is determined based on the number of interface types that match with the target interface type. The matching degree of the battery capacity of the interface type source and the matching degree of the interface type are added together to determine the total matching degree of the interface type of the second portable power supply.
[0057] As can be seen from the above, in an embodiment of the present application, the server can match the portable power source with a more accurate method and obtain the matching degree of the portable power source, and the second portable power source determined based on the matching degree can better meet the actual needs of the first user.
[0058] In one possible example, if the server detects that the battery capacity and interface type of the second portable power source having the highest matching degree do not perfectly match the power demand information, the matching of the battery capacity is prioritized. The server adds instruction information for delivering an interface conversion device (e.g., a power strip, an interface converter, etc.) to the delivery task.
