Detailed Description

For a better understanding of the technical solution of the present application, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present application refers to the accompanying drawings.

It should be understood that the described embodiments are merely some, but not all, embodiments of the application. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the application without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the application.

The terminology used in the embodiments of the application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application. As used in this application and the appended claims, the singular forms "a," "an," and "the" are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

It should be understood that the term "and/or" as used herein is merely an association relationship describing the associated object, and means that three relationships may exist, for example, a and/or b, and may mean that a single first exists while a single first and a single second exist. In addition, the character "/" herein generally indicates that the front and rear associated objects are an "or" relationship.

When the charging protocols carried by the electronic equipment and the matched charger or adapter are inconsistent, the charging advantages of the charger or adapter can not be fully exerted when the charger or adapter is used for charging the electronic equipment. The UFCS protocol is described as an example of the charger or the adapter.

UFCS (Universal FAST CHARGING Specification, fusion rapid charging technical Specification) protocol is used as a new domestic industry Universal charging protocol, aims to formulate a fusion rapid charging standard of a mobile terminal, solves the problem of incompatibility of interworking rapid charging, is used as a basis of long-term evolution of rapid charging technology, promotes interworking use of existing terminals in industry of manufacturer rapid charging technology, guides and standardizes product development and production of equipment manufacturers (upstream and downstream industrial chains), and creates a rapid, safe and compatible charging use environment for end users. Along with the improvement of technology, UFCS protocols have been applied to mobile phone products and mobile phone chargers.

Because of the short push-out time of UFCS protocol, most of the mobile terminal devices (such as notebooks or mobile phones) currently used by users do not support UFCS protocol charging on software and hardware. Therefore, most of the mobile terminal devices currently used by users cannot experience UFCS quick charges. In addition, because the development trend of the current notebook tends to be light and thin, the notebook cannot integrate thicker interfaces (such as USB Type-A, HDMI interfaces) of the connector, and when the external USB keyboard and mouse are required or the display is expanded through the HDMI interface, the function of the interface is expanded by using the switching device, and the switching device can be Dock. And because the notebook interface is limited, the notebook also needs to be charged and data functions through the Type-C interface on the switching device. However, the existing switching device does not support UFCS protocols, which results in that even if the existing mobile terminal device supports UFCS protocols on software and hardware, the quick charging of UFCS cannot be realized through the switching device.

In view of the above problems, embodiments of the present application provide a charging method, apparatus, chip, device, and storage medium, which can implement fast charging of an electronic device that is not loaded with a fast charging protocol by using a charger or an adapter loaded with the fast charging protocol. The following is a detailed description.

Fig. 1 is a schematic flow chart of a charging method according to an embodiment of the present application.

Referring to fig. 1, an embodiment of the present application provides a charging method, which is applied to a charging device, including:

in step S101, the charging device obtains power supply information related to the target power supply device based on the target protocol, where the target protocol is set in the target power supply device.

In an embodiment of the present application, the charging device may be a connector between the target power supply device and the target charging device, for example, a docking station. The charging device communicates with the target power supply equipment by utilizing a target protocol and receives power supply information related to the target power supply equipment, which is provided by the target power supply equipment. Wherein the target protocol is a fast charge protocol, which may be UFCS protocols in some embodiments. The target power supply device refers to a power supply device. The power supply device may be a device capable of taking power from a power consumption network (the power consumption network may be a power supply network of a national power grid or other power supply network capable of providing power energy to electric devices) and providing a current or voltage required for charging to the electronic device. For example, the target power supply device may be a charger or an adapter or the like. The power supply device may be a device that stores electric power itself, such as a mobile power supply. It should be noted that, in addition to the above products, the target power supply device may be another kind of power supply device.

In step S101, the charging device communicates with the target power supply device based on the target protocol, and obtains power supply information related to the target power supply device. When power is supplied, the power supply power, the power supply current, the power supply voltage and other parameter information adopted by different power supply devices can be different, so that the power supply information of the target power supply device needs to be acquired in order to provide more reasonable and efficient power supply configuration parameters for the target charging device.

As one possible implementation, the power supply information related to the target power supply device may include a power supply configuration parameter of the target power supply device and a power supply configuration parameter of a cable electrically connected to an output terminal of the target power supply device. At this time, the acquiring, based on the target protocol, power supply information related to the target power supply device includes:

Based on a target protocol, acquiring power supply configuration parameters of target power supply equipment and power supply configuration parameters of cables electrically connected with output ends of the target power supply equipment.

The power supply configuration parameters of the target power supply equipment comprise maximum allowable output power of the target power supply equipment and voltage and current configuration information. The cable refers to a transmission line, such as a data line with a type-c port, for the target charging device to transmit data, current, or voltage to the target power supply device. The cable is electrically connected with the output end of the target power supply equipment. The output terminal of the target power supply device is a port which points to the outside to output electric energy. The power supply configuration parameters of the cable include the maximum current, maximum voltage or maximum power the cable is allowed to transmit.

In this step, the charging device communicates with the target power supply device based on the target protocol, and receives the power supply configuration parameter provided by the target power supply device. The manner in which the charging device obtains the power supply configuration parameters of the cable is determined based on the hardware conditions of the cable itself. For example, when a cable chip is disposed on the cable, the charging device may obtain the power supply configuration parameter of the cable by receiving the power supply configuration parameter sent by the cable chip or by reading the power supply configuration parameter stored in the cable chip. When no cable chip is arranged on the cable, the charging device can determine the power supply configuration parameters of the cable through the voltages at the two ends of the cable. The voltage across the cable can be obtained by voltage division.

In this step, the charging device obtains the output capacities of the target power supply device and the cable by obtaining the power supply configuration parameters of the target power supply device and the power supply configuration parameters of the cable electrically connected with the output end of the target power supply device, so as to ensure the power consumption safety.

In step S102, the charging device sends power supply information related to the target power supply device to the target charging device based on the first non-target protocol.

In the embodiment of the application, the related power supply information acquired from the target power supply equipment is sent to the target charging equipment through a first non-target protocol. The first non-target protocol is a different protocol than the target protocol, i.e. the first non-target protocol is different from the target protocol. The first non-target protocol is a charging protocol, and may be a fast charging protocol different from the target protocol. For example, in some embodiments the first non-target protocol is the PD (Power Delivery) protocol. The target charging device is internally provided with a first non-target protocol. I.e. the target charging device carries the first non-target protocol inside. The target charging device refers to an electronic device that needs to be charged. The target charging equipment can be electronic products such as notebook computers, mobile phones, tablet computers and the like. It should be noted that, besides the above electronic products, the target charging device may be other electronic devices that need to be charged. That is, the target charging device may be an electronic product such as a notebook computer, a mobile phone, a tablet computer, etc., which is merely a schematic example of the target charging device, not a limitation.

In step S102, in order to be compatible with a target charging device that does not have a target protocol, the charging apparatus communicates with the target charging device through a first non-target protocol, and transmits power supply information related to the target power supply device to the target charging device. In connection with step S101, a docking or conversion of the target protocol with the first non-target protocol can be achieved (conversion or docking herein is understood to mean that a communication can be achieved indirectly between the target power supply device with the target protocol and the target charging device with the first non-target protocol).

As one possible implementation manner, based on the first non-target protocol, the sending, by the charging apparatus, power supply information related to the target power supply device to the target charging device includes:

Based on a first non-target protocol, the charging device transmits to the target charging device a power supply configuration parameter of the target power supply device and a power supply configuration parameter of a cable electrically connected to an output of the target power supply device. The charging device communicates with the target charging device based on a first non-target protocol, and transmits the acquired information of the power supply configuration parameters of the target power supply device and the power supply parameters of the cable electrically connected with the output end of the target power supply device to the target charging device.

Step S103, based on the first non-target protocol, the charging device receives charging parameter information of the target charging device, where the charging parameter information is used to configure the target power supply device.

In the embodiment of the application, the charging device receives the charging parameter information sent by the target charging equipment through the first non-target protocol to acquire the power consumption requirement of the target charging equipment, and thus the power consumption safety of the target charging equipment in the charging process is ensured. The charging parameter information of the target charging device is determined by the target charging device based on the hardware condition of the target charging device, the battery management policy and the received power supply information. The charging parameter information includes maximum input power or voltage current configuration information allowed by the target charging device. In some implementations, the voltage-current configuration information may be presented in the form of a voltage-current configuration table. The maximum input power refers to the maximum charging power allowed by the target charging device on the premise of ensuring the electricity utilization safety, wherein the electricity utilization safety comprises that the hardware facility of the target charging device works in a safe state, for example, the hardware facility of the target charging device works in a set voltage or current range.

In step S103, the charging device communicates with the target charging device through the first non-target protocol, and obtains charging parameter information of the target charging device, so as to ensure electricity consumption safety of the charging device in the charging process.

In step S104, based on the target protocol, the charging apparatus transmits the charging parameter information of the target charging device to the target power supply device, so that the target power supply device charges the target charging device.

In the embodiment of the application, the charging device sends the charging parameter information received from the target charging equipment to the target power supply equipment through the target protocol. The target power supply equipment configures the maximum output power provided for the target charging equipment based on the charging parameters, so that the power utilization safety of the target charging equipment is ensured, and the target charging equipment is rapidly charged, so that the target power supply equipment provides electric energy for the target charging equipment according to a target protocol, and the rapid charging of the target charging equipment is realized.

In step S104, the charging device communicates with the target power supply device based on the target protocol, and the charging device sends the charging parameter information of the target charging device to the target power supply device, so that the target power supply device performs power supply configuration based on the charging parameter information of the target charging device, which not only ensures power consumption safety, but also can perform power supply based on the requirement of the target charging device.

According to the charging method provided by the embodiment of the application, the target power supply equipment is communicated with the target power supply equipment through the target protocol, and the target power supply equipment is communicated with the target charging equipment through the first non-target protocol, so that the target power supply equipment can supply power to the target charging equipment based on the requirement of the target charging equipment. Therefore, by adopting the scheme provided by the embodiment of the application, the switching between the target protocol in the target power supply equipment and the first non-target protocol between the target charging equipment can be realized, and the target power supply equipment can provide power for the target charging equipment based on the target protocol so as to carry out rapid charging. For example, when the target protocol is UFCS, the charging method provided by the embodiment of the application can realize that a terminal (such as a notebook computer) which does not support UFCS protocol can perform UFCS quick charging when being charged by matching the charging method provided by the application with a UFCS protocol charger. The notebook computer supporting UFCS quick charging is limited by the number of ports, and when the docking station is required to be connected with the charger or the adapter in an actual use, the docking station can enable the charger or the adapter to carry out UFCS quick charging on the notebook computer based on the charging method provided by the embodiment of the application.

Fig. 2a is a schematic flow chart of a charging method according to an embodiment of the present application. Fig. 2b is a schematic flow chart of a charging method according to an embodiment of the present application.

Referring to fig. 2a and 2b, in an embodiment of the application, a charging method includes:

S201, responding to the access operation of the external equipment, the charging device determines whether the external equipment is a target power supply equipment, and a target protocol is arranged in the target power supply equipment.

And responding when the external equipment is accessed, and judging whether the external equipment is a target power supply equipment or not. To initiate the subsequent steps.

In one implementation manner of this embodiment, as shown in fig. 3, the determining, in response to the access operation of the external device, whether the external device is the target power supply device includes:

s301, based on a second non-target protocol, responding to an access operation of the external device, and determining whether the external device is a power supply device by the charging device.

The second non-target protocol may be the same as or different from the first non-target protocol. The second non-target protocol is not the same protocol as the target protocol and the second non-target protocol is not the same protocol as the target protocol.

When the external device is a power supply device, the charging apparatus executes step S302.

S302, based on a target protocol, the charging device establishes communication connection with external equipment.

The charging device can handshake with the external device through a handshake flow of starting a target protocol, so that communication connection with the external device is established. The purpose of the handshake process is to identify the identity between the charging device and the external device. When the target protocol is UFCS, the handshake process is to detect whether the pulse sequence of the D+ pin or the D-pin of the external device accords with the set pulse sequence or not by the charging device. When the pulse sequence of the D+ pin or the D-pin of the external device accords with the set pulse sequence, the handshake is successful.

When the communication connection with the external device is successful, step S303 is executed.

And S303, after the communication connection between the external devices is successful, the charging device determines that the external devices are target power supply devices.

For example, after the charging device successfully handshakes with the external device, the charging device determines that the external device is the target power supply device. And when the handshake with the external equipment is unsuccessful and the handshake frequency does not reach the third set threshold, the charging device repeatedly executes the step S302 until the handshake frequency reaches the third set threshold or the handshake is successful.

After the handshake with the external device is unsuccessful, and the handshake frequency reaches a third set threshold, the charging device executes step S304.

S304, based on the preset priority of the non-target protocol, the charging device determines the type of the external power supply equipment, so that the external power supply equipment charges the target charging equipment according to the type result of the external power supply equipment.

The non-target protocol refers to the rest of charging protocols except the target protocol, which are carried in the device for executing the charging method. The non-target protocols include at least a first non-target protocol.

In one implementation of this embodiment, the priority of the first non-target protocol is highest among the non-target protocols. Taking the first non-target protocol with the highest priority (i.e. the first priority) as an example, the specific implementation process of determining the type of the external power supply device in step S304 is as follows, determining whether the power supply device is the first power supply device based on the first non-target protocol, where the first non-target protocol is set in the first power supply device. Specifically, whether the power supply device is the first power supply device may be determined by a pin state corresponding to the first non-target protocol. For example, the first non-target protocol may be a PD protocol, and the charging device determines whether the external power supply device is the first power supply device by determining whether the signal state of the CC pin of the power supply device meets the state specified by the PD protocol. And when the external power supply equipment is not the first power supply equipment, the charging device determines whether the external power supply equipment is the second power supply equipment or not based on a non-target protocol of the second priority. The second power supply device carries a non-target protocol of a second priority, and the like, so as to obtain the type of the external power supply device. After the type of the external power supply equipment is determined, the power supply equipment charges the target charging equipment based on the type of the power supply equipment. For example, when the external power supply device is a first power supply device, the target charging device is charged based on a first non-target protocol.

It should be noted that the execution sequence between S301 to S304 in the above embodiment is only a schematic illustration and is not a limitation of the execution sequence. For example, after step S301, step S304 may be performed before step S302, but only the non-target protocol of the first priority in step S304 is performed, and it is determined whether the external power supply device is the first power supply device. When the external power supply equipment is the first power supply equipment, the charging device enables the first power supply equipment to charge the target charging equipment based on the first non-target protocol. When the external power supply device is not the first power supply device, the charging apparatus further executes the step S302 to the step S304 to determine the type of the external power supply device based on the priority of the non-target protocol other than the first non-target protocol.

When it is determined that the external device is the target power supply device, step S202 is executed.

In step S202, the charging device obtains power supply information related to the target power supply device based on the target protocol.

Wherein, the target power supply equipment is internally provided with a target protocol. The specific implementation of step S202 may refer to step S101, which is not described herein.

Before the step of acquiring the power supply information related to the target power supply equipment is executed based on the target protocol, whether the external equipment is the target power supply equipment is determined, so that the follow-up step (acquiring the power supply information related to the target power supply equipment based on the target protocol) can be ensured to be smoothly carried out.

In step S203, the charging apparatus transmits power supply information related to the target power supply device to the target charging device based on the first non-target protocol.

The specific implementation of step S203 may refer to step S102, which is not described herein.

In step S204, based on the first non-target protocol, the charging device receives charging parameter information of the target charging device, where the charging parameter information is matched with the power supply information.

The specific implementation of step S204 may refer to step S103, which is not described herein.

In step S205, the charging apparatus transmits the charging parameter information of the target charging device to the target power supply device based on the target protocol.

The specific implementation of step S205 may refer to step S104, which is not described herein.

Step S206, based on the target protocol, the charging device obtains feedback information of the target power supply device, where the feedback information is used to represent a result of power supply configuration of the target power supply device according to the charging parameter information of the target charging device.

In the embodiment of the application, the charging device receives feedback information of the target power supply equipment through the target protocol. The feedback information includes a configuration result of the target power supply device configured based on the charging parameter information of the target charging device.

In one implementation of this embodiment, the configuration result of the target power supply device configured based on the charging parameter information of the target charging device includes a configuration success or a configuration failure. Wherein, when the charging parameter includes the maximum input power allowed by the target charging device, the successful configuration means that the target power supply device has completed the maximum output power configuration based on the charging parameter information of the target charging device. At this time, the maximum output power of the target power supply device configuration is equal to or less than the maximum allowable output power of the target power supply device, and the maximum output power of the target power supply device configuration is equal to or less than the maximum allowable input power of the target charging device, and the maximum output power of the target power supply device configuration is equal to or less than the maximum allowable power of the cable for transmission.

In one implementation of this embodiment, the configuration result of the target power supply device configured based on the charging parameter information of the target charging device includes a configuration success or a configuration failure. Wherein, when the charging parameter includes the voltage-current configuration information of the target charging device, the successful configuration means that the target power supply device has completed the voltage-current configuration based on the charging parameter information of the target charging device. The maximum current in the current voltage configured by the target power supply device is smaller than or equal to the maximum current in the voltage and current configuration information provided by the target power supply device, the maximum current in the current voltage configured by the target power supply device is smaller than or equal to the maximum current in the voltage and current configuration information provided by the target charging device, and the maximum current in the current voltage configured by the target power supply device is smaller than or equal to the maximum current allowed to be transmitted by the cable. Meanwhile, the maximum voltage in the current voltage configured by the target power supply device is smaller than or equal to the maximum voltage in the voltage-current configuration information provided by the target power supply device, the maximum voltage in the current voltage configured by the target power supply device is smaller than or equal to the maximum voltage in the voltage-current configuration information provided by the target charging device, and the maximum voltage in the current voltage configured by the target power supply device is smaller than or equal to the maximum voltage allowed to be transmitted by the cable.

S207, based on the first non-target protocol, the charging device sends feedback information to the target charging device.

Based on the first non-target protocol, the charging device sends feedback information to the target charging device, so that the target power supply device charges the target charging device. The charging device sends the received feedback information of the target power supply equipment to the target charging equipment through a first non-target protocol.

In steps S206 and S207, feedback information of the target power supply device is acquired and sent to the target charging device, so that the target charging device knows whether the target power supply device has completed the power supply configuration, that is, whether the target power supply device has completed the preparation work before the power supply. When the target power supply equipment completes power supply configuration, the target charging equipment can control to start a power supply line between the target power supply equipment and the target charging equipment, so that charging is performed.

In this embodiment, before the target charging device turns on the charging circuit with the target power supply device, it is necessary to know whether the target power supply device has completed the preparation work before charging, that is, whether the power supply configuration has been completed. After the target power supply equipment is configured and successful, the target charging equipment starts a charging circuit with the target power supply equipment. Therefore, the target power supply equipment provides electric energy for the target charging equipment according to the target protocol, and the rapid charging of the target charging equipment is realized.

In step S208, if the feedback information of the target power supply device is not obtained within the preset time, the charging device receives the charging parameter information of the target charging device again based on the first non-target protocol.

The feedback information is used for indicating a result of power supply configuration of the target power supply equipment according to the charging parameter information of the target charging equipment. In step S208, the feedback information includes a configuration result of the target power supply device configured based on the charging parameter information of the target charging device.

In one implementation of this embodiment, in step S208, the configuration result of the target power supply device configured based on the charging parameter information of the target charging device includes that the configuration was successful. And when the target power supply equipment is configured based on the charging parameter information of the target charging equipment and the configuration is successful, the target power supply equipment externally sends feedback information. When the target power supply equipment is configured based on the charging parameter information of the target charging equipment, but the configuration fails, the target power supply equipment does not send feedback information to the outside. Therefore, if the feedback information of the target power supply device is not acquired within the preset time, the configuration fails, at this time, the charging parameter information of the target charging device needs to be received again based on the first non-target protocol, and steps S205 to S208 are executed again until the repetition number reaches the first set threshold or the feedback information of the target power supply device is acquired within the preset time.

In one implementation of this embodiment, in step S208, the configuration result of the target power supply device configured based on the charging parameter information of the target charging device includes a configuration success or a configuration failure. The target power supply equipment is configured based on the parameter information of the target charging equipment, and when the configuration is successful, the target power supply equipment sends feedback information to the outside, and at the moment, the feedback information comprises a configuration result that the target power supply equipment is configured based on the charging parameter information of the target charging equipment, and the configuration result is that the configuration is successful. The target power supply equipment performs configuration based on the parameter information of the target charging equipment, and when the configuration fails, the target power supply equipment externally sends feedback information, and at the moment, the feedback information comprises a configuration result that the target power supply equipment performs configuration based on the charging parameter information of the target charging equipment, wherein the configuration result is the configuration failure. Based on this, in the present implementation manner, if the feedback information of the target power supply device is not obtained within the preset time, this means that a communication path between the target power supply device and the target power supply device is faulty, and at this time, the charging parameter information of the target charging device needs to be received again based on the first non-target protocol, and steps S205 to S208 are executed again until the repetition number reaches the second set threshold or the feedback information of the target power supply device is obtained within the preset time.

In step S208, if the feedback information of the target power supply device is not acquired within the preset time, the charging parameter information of the target charging device is received again based on the first non-target protocol. The step aims at re-enabling the target power supply equipment and the target charging information to communicate with the power supply configuration, and re-attempting to enable the target power supply equipment to complete the power supply configuration.

Fig. 2c is a schematic flow chart of a charging method according to an embodiment of the present application.

Referring to fig. 2c, in an embodiment of the application, the charging method further includes:

in step S209, during the process of charging the target power supply device to the target charging device, the charging device obtains the updated power supply configuration parameters of the target power supply device based on the target protocol.

The power supply configuration parameters before updating of the target power supply equipment are inconsistent with the power supply configuration parameters after updating.

In one implementation of this embodiment, the maximum allowable output power in the updated power supply configuration parameters of the target power supply device is smaller than the maximum allowable output power in the power supply configuration parameters of the target power supply device before updating. The step S209 has the advantage that an update mechanism of the power supply configuration parameters of the target power supply device is set up to ensure the power consumption safety. For example, as the charging time period of the target power supply device to the target charging device increases, the target power supply device may generate heat and scald, and in order to ensure the power use safety, the target power supply device needs to reduce the output power. But in order to match the power supply of the target power supply device with the demand of the target charging device, it is necessary to notify the target charging device before the output power is reduced. Therefore, the power supply configuration parameters of the target power supply device need to be updated, and step S210 is performed after the updated power supply configuration parameters of the target power supply device are received.

S210, based on the first non-target protocol, the updated power supply configuration parameters of the target power supply equipment are sent to the target charging equipment.

After the completion of step S210, step S204 to step S205 are re-executed. That is, the re-executing step receives charging parameter information of the target charging device based on the first non-target protocol and the step transmits the charging parameter information of the target charging device to the target power supply device based on the target protocol.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the steps S209 to S210 are only performed after the power supply configuration parameters of the target power supply device are updated, and the steps S209 to S210 are not required to be performed if the power supply configuration parameters of the target power supply device are not updated.
