Furthermore, the terms "include" and "have," as well as any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, system, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of steps or modules is not limited to only those steps or modules listed, but rather, some embodiments may include other steps or modules not listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

Reference herein to "an embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment can be included in at least one embodiment of the application. The appearances of the phrase in various places in the specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment, nor are separate or alternative embodiments mutually exclusive of other embodiments. It is explicitly and implicitly understood by one skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

The embodiment of the present application provides a data communication method, a data communication device, a storage medium, an electronic device, and a protective case, where an execution main body of the data communication method may be the data communication device provided in the embodiment of the present application, or the electronic device integrated with the data communication device, where the data communication device may be implemented in a hardware or software manner. The electronic device may be a smart phone, a tablet computer, a palm computer, a notebook computer, or a desktop computer.

Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic flowchart of a data communication method implemented in an electronic device including a first wireless power component, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in fig. 1, the data communication method provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure may include the following steps:

at 110, power is provided to an external device through a first wireless power component.

In an embodiment of the present application, an electronic device includes a first wireless power component configured to convert wired power into wireless power to radiate outward upon receiving a wired power supply.

It should be noted that the present application resides in powering an external device via a first wireless power component of the electronic device, thereby extending the communication capabilities of the electronic device via the external device. For example, the electronic device supports the a wireless communication protocol and does not support the B wireless communication protocol, but the electronic device has a communication requirement with a target communication device adopting the B wireless communication protocol (any other electronic device that may have a communication requirement with the electronic device) and the external device supports both the a wireless communication protocol and the B wireless communication protocol, so that the external device can be powered by the electronic device without configuring a battery, so that the external device serves as a bridge for data communication between the electronic device and the target communication device adopting the B wireless communication protocol. For example, referring to fig. 2, when the electronic device is a smart phone, the external device may be a protective cover for protecting the smart phone.

When the electronic device recognizes that the communication requirement of the wireless communication protocol which is not supported by the electronic device exists, the electronic device supplies power to the first wireless power assembly in a wired mode through the battery which is configured by the electronic device, and the wired power provided by the battery is converted into wireless power through the wireless power assembly to be radiated outwards, so that the power is provided for the external device.

For example, referring to fig. 3, the electronic device is provided with a communication trigger control in the pull-down menu, and when the electronic device needs to communicate with another electronic device adopting a wireless communication protocol that is not supported by the electronic device, a user may operate the electronic device to display the pull-down menu, and click the communication trigger control in the pull-down menu to input a communication instruction to the electronic device. Accordingly, when the electronic device receives the communication instruction, the electronic device recognizes that the communication requirement of the wireless communication protocol which is not supported by the electronic device currently exists. In addition, the aforementioned communication requirement may also be triggered by other ways, including but not limited to double-click, pan-and-pan, screen-out gesture, etc.

At 120, communicating data with an external device via a first wireless communication protocol;

wherein the communication data is transmitted by the external device with the target communication device via the second wireless communication protocol.

In the embodiment of the present application, if the external device is within the radiation range of the first wireless power module, the external device starts to operate based on the power provided by the first wireless power module.

As described above, the electronic device has a communication requirement of a wireless communication protocol that is not supported by itself, and when the external device starts to operate based on the power supplied by the first wireless power component, the electronic device performs transmission of communication data with the external device via the first wireless communication protocol that is supported by both the electronic device and the external device, wherein the communication data is transmitted with the target communication device via the external device based on the power supplied by the electronic device via the first wireless power component via the second wireless communication protocol that is not supported by the electronic device, as shown in fig. 4.

The electronic device may send the communication data to the external device through a first wireless communication protocol, and the external device forwards the communication data to the target communication device through a second wireless communication protocol that is not supported by the electronic device; the external device may be configured to forward the received communication data to the external device through the first wireless communication protocol when the external device receives the communication data transmitted by the target communication device through the second wireless communication protocol that is not supported by the electronic device.

It should be noted that the embodiment of the present application is not particularly limited to the type of communication data, and may be any type of data. In addition, the first wireless communication protocol and the second wireless communication protocol are not particularly limited, the first wireless communication protocol may be any wireless communication protocol that is simultaneously supported by the electronic device and the external device, and the second wireless communication protocol may be any communication protocol that is not supported by the electronic device but is simultaneously supported by the external device and the target communication device.

As can be seen from the above, in the present application, the first wireless power component of the electronic device supplies power to the external device, and the external device transmits communication data with the external device via the first wireless communication protocol, the communication data is transmitted from the external device to the target communication device via the second wireless communication protocol, and the communication data from the electronic device may be transmitted to the target communication device or transmitted to the electronic device. Therefore, the external device is used as a communication bridge between the electronic device and the target communication device by supplying power to the external device wirelessly, so that the communication capacity of the electronic device can be effectively expanded.

Optionally, in an embodiment, the first wireless communication protocol comprises a bluetooth communication protocol and the second wireless communication protocol comprises an ultra-wideband communication protocol.

The bluetooth communication protocol is a global specification for wireless data, and is a special short-range wireless technology for establishing a communication environment for devices between fixed and mobile stations based on low-cost short-range wireless connection. With the development of technology for many years, the Bluetooth communication protocol has the advantages of convenience, rapidness, flexibility, safety, low cost, low power consumption and the like.

An Ultra Wide Band (UWB) communication protocol is a wireless carrier communication technology, which does not use sinusoidal carriers, but uses nanosecond-level non-sinusoidal narrow pulses to transmit data, so that the occupied frequency spectrum range is Wide. The method has the advantages of low system complexity, low power spectral density of transmitted signals, insensitivity to channel fading, low interception capability, high positioning accuracy and the like, and is particularly suitable for high-speed wireless access in indoor and other dense multipath places.

In the embodiment of the application, the external equipment adopts a Bluetooth communication protocol and an ultra-wideband communication protocol to provide an ultra-wideband function for the electronic equipment, so that the electronic equipment is in data communication with target communication equipment adopting the ultra-wideband communication protocol, and further functions such as object finding, navigation and the like can be realized.

Optionally, in an embodiment, the external device comprises a protective cover for protecting the electronic device.

Optionally, in an embodiment, providing power to the external device through the first wireless power component includes:

providing, by a first wireless power component, first power for handshaking to an external device;

transmitting a handshake request signal to an external device through a first wireless power component;

and when receiving a handshake response signal returned by the external device, providing second power for data forwarding to the external device through the first wireless power component.

In the embodiment of the application, when the electronic device recognizes that a communication requirement of a wireless communication protocol which is not supported by the electronic device exists, the electronic device supplies power to the first wireless power assembly in a wired mode through a battery which is configured by the electronic device, converts wired power provided by the battery into wireless power through the wireless power assembly, radiates the wireless power outwards, and records the wireless power as the first power. In addition, the electronic device further transmits a handshake request signal to the outside through the first wireless power component, where the handshake request signal carries at least description information of the electronic device, and is used to declare the existence of the electronic device and detect whether an external device exists. The description information includes, but is not limited to, a device identifier for uniquely characterizing the electronic device, and may further include information for describing a wireless communication protocol supported by the electronic device, describing a maximum power that the electronic device can radiate through the first wireless power component, and the like.

In this embodiment of the application, if the external device is within the radiation range of the first power, the external device starts to operate based on the first power and receives a handshake request signal from the electronic device, and at this time, a handshake response signal is returned to the electronic device according to a handshake rule agreed in advance with the electronic device. The handshake response signal may carry information describing the power required by the external device for data forwarding.

The configuration of the handshake rule is not particularly limited herein, and may be configured by those skilled in the art according to actual needs. It should be noted that the magnitude of the first power may be configured according to the power conversion efficiency of the external device and the power required by the external device to perform handshake communication, that is, the first power is converted by the external device and at least reaches the power required by the external device to perform handshake communication.

Correspondingly, the electronic device receives a handshake response signal returned by the external device based on the first power through the first wireless power component, so that the electronic device completes handshake with the external device, and both the electronic device and the external device recognize the existence of the other party. At this time, the electronic device further radiates second power to the outside through the first wireless power component, and supplies the second power to the external device, so that the external device can forward the communication data. As above, the magnitude of the second power may be configured according to the power conversion efficiency of the external device and the power required by the external device for data forwarding, that is, the second power is converted by the external device and at least reaches the power required by the external device for data forwarding. In the embodiment of the present application, the second power is greater than the first power.

Optionally, in an embodiment, transmitting, by the first wireless power component, the handshake request signal to the external device includes:

upon receiving the communication trigger instruction, transmitting a handshake request signal to the external device through the first wireless power component.

The input mode of the communication trigger instruction is not particularly limited, and may be configured by those skilled in the art according to actual needs. By limiting the electronic device from transmitting the handshake request signal to the external device via the first wireless power component when receiving the communication trigger instruction, power radiation to the user can be reduced.

Optionally, in an embodiment, the communication triggering instruction includes at least one of a touch instruction, a voice instruction, or a gesture instruction for triggering communication.

In this embodiment of the application, the communication trigger instruction may be a touch instruction for triggering communication, may also be a voice instruction for triggering communication, and may further be a gesture instruction for triggering communication, or the like.

Optionally, in an embodiment, after transmitting the handshake request signal to the external device through the first wireless power component, the method further includes:

when the handshake response signal is not received, the supply of the first power to the external device through the first wireless power component is stopped.

As an optional implementation manner, after the electronic device sends the handshake request signal, if the handshake response signal is not received, it is determined that there is no external device capable of performing data forwarding, and accordingly, power supply to the first wireless power assembly is stopped, so that the first wireless power assembly stops radiating power outwards, thereby stopping providing the first power to the external device through the first wireless power assembly. For example, the electronic device starts timing while sending the handshake request signal, and stops supplying power to the first radio power assembly if the handshake response signal is not received within the preset time period. The value of the preset duration is not particularly limited, and may be set by a person skilled in the art according to actual needs, for example, the preset duration may be configured to be 3 seconds.

Optionally, in an embodiment, after providing the second power for data transmission to the external device through the first wireless power component, the method further includes:

when there is no communication demand with the target communication device, the supply of the second power to the external device through the first wireless power component is stopped.

As another alternative embodiment, when it is recognized that there is no communication demand with the target communication device, power supply to the first wireless power component is stopped, thereby stopping supply of the second power to the external device through the first wireless power component. For example, when the electronic device completes all data transmission with the target communication device or receives an input communication disconnection instruction, it determines that there is no communication demand with the target communication device currently.

As above, according to the power supply device, power supply to the first wireless power assembly is stopped timely, meaningless outward radiation of power to the first wireless power assembly is avoided, power consumption of electronic equipment can be reduced, and possible influence of power radiation on users can be reduced.

Optionally, in an embodiment, the communication data includes a device identifier of the target communication device, and the transmitting of the communication data with the external device through the first wireless communication protocol includes:

and receiving the device identification transmitted by the external device through the first wireless communication protocol.

The device identifier of the target communication device is used to uniquely characterize the target communication device, and a person skilled in the art can select related information as the device identifier of the target communication device according to actual needs, for example, the MAC address of the target communication device can be used as the device identifier.

In this embodiment of the application, the target communication device may use its own device identifier as communication data, and send the communication data to the external device through the second wireless communication protocol. Accordingly, when the external device receives the device identifier sent by the target communication device based on the second power, the device identifier is sent to the electronic device through the first wireless communication protocol. Accordingly, the electronic device receives the device identification of the target communication device sent by the external device through the first wireless communication protocol.

Optionally, in an embodiment, after receiving, by the first wireless communication protocol, the device identifier transmitted by the external device, the method further includes:

and displaying an equipment control interface corresponding to the target communication equipment, and controlling the target communication equipment through the equipment control interface.

In the embodiment of the application, the electronic device utilizes the received device identifier of the target communication device to remotely control the target communication device.

As described above, the device identification of the target communication device can uniquely characterize the target communication device. Therefore, after the electronic device receives the device identifier of the target communication device forwarded by the external device, the electronic device can recognize the identity of the target communication device through the device identifier. And then, the electronic equipment displays the equipment control interface corresponding to the target communication equipment according to the identified identity of the target communication equipment. Thereby controlling the target communication device through the device control interface.

Optionally, in an embodiment, controlling the target communication device through the device control interface includes:

and sending the control instruction of the equipment control interface to the external equipment through the first wireless communication protocol, so that the external equipment sends the control instruction to the target communication equipment through the second wireless communication protocol for execution.

In an embodiment of the application, the device control interface is configured to generate a control instruction for controlling the target communication device according to a user operation.

Correspondingly, in the process of displaying the device control interface, the electronic device receives a control instruction for the target communication device through the displayed device control interface. When a control instruction for the target communication equipment is received through the equipment control interface, the electronic equipment sends the control instruction to the external equipment through the first wireless communication protocol, and the external equipment forwards the control instruction to the target communication equipment through the second wireless communication protocol for execution.

For example, referring to fig. 5, the electronic device recognizes that the target communication device is an intelligent fan, and correspondingly displays a device control interface corresponding to the intelligent fan, as shown in fig. 5, the device control interface includes three controls, which are a start-up control for controlling the intelligent fan to be turned on or off, a circulation air control for controlling the intelligent fan to be turned on or off in a circulation air mode, and a timing start-up control for controlling the intelligent fan to be turned on at a timing. Based on the equipment control interface, a user can click the starting control so as to generate a starting control instruction for the intelligent fan, the electronic equipment further forwards the starting control instruction to the intelligent fan through external equipment, and the intelligent fan correspondingly starts to supply air after receiving the starting control instruction; then, if the user desires to start the circulation air mode of the smart fan, the user can click the circulation air control, so that a circulation air control instruction for the smart fan is generated, the electronic device further forwards the circulation air control instruction to the smart fan via the external device, and the smart fan correspondingly starts the circulation air mode after receiving the circulation air control instruction.

Optionally, in an embodiment, sending the control instruction to the external device through the first wireless communication protocol, so that the external device sends the control instruction to the target communication device through the second wireless communication protocol for execution includes:

when the mobile network is unavailable or the short-distance control mode is started currently, the control instruction is sent to the external equipment through the first wireless communication protocol, so that the external equipment sends the control instruction to the target communication equipment through the second wireless communication protocol for execution.

In the embodiment of the present application, a short-range control mode is provided, and the electronic device forwards a control instruction through an external device in the short-range control mode, so as to control the target communication device. Correspondingly, the electronic equipment is also provided with a mode switching control for switching on and off the short-distance control mode, and the electronic equipment receives user operation through the mode switching control and correspondingly switches on or off the short-distance control mode.

In addition, when the electronic device receives a control instruction for the target communication device without starting the short-range control mode, firstly, whether the current mobile network of the device is available is determined, and if the mobile network is unavailable, the electronic device also forwards the control instruction through the external device to control the target communication device.

Optionally, in an embodiment, the data communication method provided by the present application further includes:

and when the mobile network is available and the short-distance control mode is closed currently, sending a control instruction to the target communication equipment through the mobile network for execution.

Optionally, in an embodiment, the electronic device further includes a second wireless power component, and the data communication method further includes:

receiving, by the second wireless power component, third power provided by the wireless charging device and charging the battery based on the third power;

providing power to an external device through a first wireless power component, comprising:

the first wireless power component is powered based on the third power to provide power to the external device through the first wireless power component.

In an embodiment of the present application, the electronic device further includes a second wireless power component, and with the second wireless power component, the electronic device may supply power to the first wireless power component while charging its battery.

The electronic device receives third power provided by the wireless charging device through the second wireless power assembly, converts the third power into wired power, charges the battery based on one part of the wired power, and supplies power to the first wireless power assembly based on the other part of the wired power, so as to provide power to the external device through the first wireless power assembly, as shown in fig. 6.

Optionally, in an embodiment, the data communication method provided in the present application further includes:

acquiring a power radiation value released by a first radio power assembly to a user;

and when the power radiation value is greater than or equal to the preset radiation value, outputting prompt information for stopping communication with the target communication equipment.

In order to avoid long-term power radiation of users, the electronic equipment carries out early warning on the power radiation.

Wherein, as mentioned above, the first wireless power assembly starts to radiate power outwards immediately after the electronic device supplies power to the first wireless power assembly. It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the electronic device only counts the power radiation value released to the user.

For example, the electronic device monitors whether the user is located in the radiation range of the first wireless power assembly in real time, if it is identified that the user is located in the radiation range of the first wireless power assembly, the electronic device performs statistics on the power radiation value according to the magnitude of the power radiated by the first wireless power assembly, and when it is identified that the user is located outside the radiation range of the first wireless power assembly, the statistics on the power radiation value is suspended until the user is identified again to be located in the radiation range of the first wireless power assembly, and so on, the power radiation value released by the first wireless power assembly to the user can be obtained through statistics.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, there is no particular limitation on how to identify whether the user is located within the radiation range of the first wireless power assembly, and the identification manner may be configured by those skilled in the art according to actual needs. For example, the electronic device may acquire an image in real time through the front camera, and identify whether a face of the user exists in the acquired image, if so, determine that the user is located within a radiation range of the first radio power assembly; for another example, the electronic device may obtain a distance between the electronic device and a pre-associated wearable device, and if the wearable device is in a wearing state of the user, the distance is taken as the distance between the electronic device and the user, and if the distance is less than or equal to a preset distance (which may be taken by a person skilled in the art according to the actual power radiation capability of the first wireless power assembly), it is determined that the user is located within the radiation range of the first wireless power assembly.

In addition, a preset radiation value for triggering a prompt to stop communicating with the target communication device is also preset in the embodiment of the present application, and a value of the preset radiation value may be an empirical value obtained by a person skilled in the art according to actual needs, which is not limited specifically here.

Correspondingly, the electronic equipment obtains the statistical power radiation value released by the first wireless power assembly to the user in real time, judges whether the power radiation value is smaller than the preset radiation value or not, judges that the user does not need to be warned if the power radiation value is smaller than the preset radiation value, judges that the user needs to be warned if the power radiation value is larger than or equal to the preset radiation value, and outputs prompt information for stopping communication with the target communication equipment at the moment.

Then, when the confirmation information for the prompt information is received, the user agrees to stop the communication with the target communication device, and at this time, the power supply to the first wireless power module is stopped, so that the power supply to the external device through the first wireless power module is stopped.

Optionally, in an embodiment, after outputting the prompt information for stopping communication with the target communication device, the method further includes:

when the denial information for the prompt information is not received within the preset time length, the power supply to the external equipment through the first wireless power assembly is stopped.

In the embodiment of the application, if the denial information for the prompt information is received within the preset time period, the electronic device determines that the user agrees to stop the communication with the target communication device, and at the moment, the power supply to the first wireless power assembly is stopped, so that the power supply to the external device through the first wireless power assembly is stopped.

Referring to fig. 7, fig. 7 is another schematic flow chart of a data communication method according to an embodiment of the present application, where the first wireless communication protocol is a bluetooth communication protocol, and the second wireless communication protocol is an ultra wideband communication protocol, as shown in fig. 7, the data communication method may include:

at 210, the electronic device determines whether there is a need to communicate with a target communication device that employs an ultra-wideband communication protocol that it does not support.

The electronic device firstly judges whether the communication requirement of the ultra-wideband communication protocol which is not supported by the electronic device exists. For example, referring to fig. 3, the electronic device is provided with a communication trigger control in the pull-down menu, and when the electronic device needs to communicate with another electronic device adopting an ultra wideband communication protocol that is not supported by the electronic device, a user may operate the electronic device to display the pull-down menu, and click the communication trigger control in the pull-down menu to input a communication instruction to the electronic device. Correspondingly, when the electronic equipment receives the communication instruction, the electronic equipment identifies that the communication requirement of the ultra-wideband communication protocol which is not supported by the electronic equipment exists at present. In addition, the aforementioned communication requirement may also be triggered by other ways, including but not limited to double-click, pan-and-pan, screen-out gesture, etc.

At 220, the electronic device powers the first wireless power component, radiates the first power outward through the first wireless power component, and transmits a handshake request signal outward when the aforementioned communication need exists.

When the electronic equipment recognizes that the communication requirement of the wireless communication protocol which is not supported by the electronic equipment exists, the electronic equipment supplies power to the first wireless power assembly in a wired mode through the battery which is configured by the electronic equipment, converts the wired power provided by the battery into wireless power through the wireless power assembly, radiates the wireless power outwards, and records the wireless power as the first power. In addition, the electronic device further transmits a handshake request signal to the outside through the wireless power component, where the handshake request signal carries at least description information of the electronic device, and is used to declare the existence of the electronic device and detect whether an external device exists. The description information includes, but is not limited to, a device identifier for uniquely characterizing the electronic device, and may further include information for describing a wireless communication protocol supported by the electronic device, describing a maximum power that the electronic device can radiate through the first wireless power component, and the like.

In 230, the electronic device provides the second power to the external device through the first wireless power component upon receiving a handshake response signal returned by the external device based on the first power through the first wireless power component.

In this embodiment of the application, if the external device has a radiation range of the first power, the external device starts to operate based on the first power, and when receiving a handshake request from the electronic device, returns a handshake response signal to the electronic device according to a handshake rule agreed in advance with the electronic device. The handshake response signal may carry information describing the power required by the external device for data forwarding.

The configuration of the handshake rule is not particularly limited herein, and may be configured by those skilled in the art according to actual needs. It should be noted that the magnitude of the first power may be configured according to the power conversion efficiency of the external device and the power required by the external device for handshake communication, that is, the first power is converted by the external device and at least reaches the power required by the external device for handshake communication.

At 240, the electronic device communicates data with the external device via a bluetooth wireless communication protocol, the communication data being communicated by the external device with the target communication device via an ultra-wideband communication protocol based on the second power.

As described above, the electronic device has a communication requirement of an ultra-wideband communication protocol that is not supported by itself, and recognizes the presence of the external device, and at this time, the electronic device performs transmission of communication data with the external device through a bluetooth communication protocol that is supported by both the electronic device and the external device, wherein the communication data is transmitted with the target communication device through the ultra-wideband communication protocol that is not supported by the electronic device via the external device based on the second power that is supplied by the electronic device through the first wireless power component.
