Detailed Description

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure more apparent, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It will be apparent that the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present disclosure. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the described embodiments of the present disclosure without the need for creative efforts, are also within the scope of the protection of the present disclosure.

Unless otherwise defined, all terms (including technical and scientific terms) used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which the presently disclosed subject matter belongs. It will be further understood that terms, such as those defined in commonly used dictionaries, should be interpreted as having a meaning that is consistent with their meaning in the context of the specification and relevant art and will not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal sense unless expressly so defined herein. As used herein, a statement that two or more parts are "connected" or "coupled" together shall mean that the parts are joined together either directly or joined through one or more intermediate parts. In addition, terms such as "first" and "second" are used merely to distinguish one component (or portion of a component) from another component (or another portion of a component).

As described above, a plurality of electronic products may have modules with similar functions, but they cannot share modules with each other, which objectively causes overlapping waste of high-value modules such as a main control module, a display screen, a key control module, a power supply module, and the like.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide an electronic product with replaceable electronic components. The electronic product according to the embodiments of the present disclosure may replace a plurality of conventional electronic products. The electronic product avoids overlapping waste of resources by sharing one or more modules that are commonly usable by a plurality of conventional electronic products. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the electronic product may include: a plurality of electronic components, and means for adapting the plurality of electronic components. One or more modules of a plurality of conventional electronic products that overlap in function may be included in the apparatus described above, and other modules may be included in a corresponding plurality of electronic components. By combining the plurality of electronic components with the device, respectively, the functions of a plurality of traditional electronic products can be realized. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the plurality of electronic components may have different functional modules. The function module is, for example, a module for realizing a target function in a conventional electronic product. For example, the functional module in the gas monitoring device includes a gas sensor, and the functional module in the intelligent lighting lamp includes a light emitting element. The functionality of the gas monitoring device may be achieved by combining an electronic component comprising a gas sensor with an arrangement of adaptable multiple electronic components. The function of the intelligent lighting lamp can be achieved by combining an electronic assembly comprising a light emitting element with a device adaptable to a plurality of electronic assemblies.

In actual use, a user may select a target electronic component among the plurality of electronic components as desired, and couple the target electronic component to a device adaptable to the plurality of electronic components to achieve the target function. When a new function is desired, the electronic product can be made to realize the desired function by replacing the target electronic component in the electronic product.

Fig. 1 illustrates an exemplary block diagram of an electronic product 100 with replaceable electronic components according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. In the example of fig. 1, the plurality of electronic components is not shown, but only the target electronic component 130 of the plurality of electronic components is shown. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the target electronic component 130 may represent any one of a plurality of electronic components.

As shown in fig. 1, the target electronic component 130 is coupled to a device 110 that can accommodate multiple electronic components. Since the device 110 may accommodate multiple electronic components, the device 110 needs to operate according to the electronic components to which it is coupled. Where the device 110 is coupled to different electronic components, the operations that it needs to perform are different. For example, where the target electronic component 130 includes a gas sensor, the device 110 may need to receive data acquired by the gas sensor from the target electronic component 130. In the case where the target electronic component 130 includes a light emitting element, the device 110 needs to send a signal to the target electronic component 130 that controls the light emitting element to emit light.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the device 110 may include a control module 111 (alternatively referred to as a master control module) for controlling the operation of the device 110 according to the electronic components to which it is coupled. The control module 111 may be, for example, a Micro Control Unit (MCU), a Real Time Operating System (RTOS) platform, an intelligent operating system hardware platform, or the like. The control module 111 can be coupled to the target electronic component 130. The control module 111 may be configured to: in the case where the control module 111 is coupled to the target electronic component 130, configuration information of the target electronic component 130 is acquired from the target electronic component 130, an object code file adapting the target electronic component 130 is determined according to the acquired configuration information, and the target electronic component is controlled to operate by executing the object code file. Herein, "adapting an object code file of a target electronic component" refers to a code file developed or designed for the target electronic component.

Although other modules included in the apparatus 110 are not shown in the example of fig. 1, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the apparatus 110 may also include other necessary modules required for operation.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the obtained configuration information may include identification information of the target electronic component 130. The object code file of the adaptation target electronic component 130 also includes this identification information. Thus, the object code file of the adaptation target electronic component 130 may be determined from the acquired identification information.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the obtained configuration information may also include the communication standard or protocol of the target electronic component 130, the number of interfaces, the interface location, the power supply information (power supply protocol, power supply parameters, etc.), the clock frequency, and other parameters that need to be known to work with the target electronic component 130.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the device 110 may include a plurality of general purpose input output interfaces (GPIOs). Although only one interface (one line) for connecting the target electronic component 130 with the device 110 is shown in fig. 1, the line is merely illustrative and does not limit the number of interfaces between the target electronic component 130 and the device 110. The plurality of GPIOs may be coupled to a control module 111. The multiple GPIOs may be located on the same surface of device 110 so as to be able to directly couple with multiple input-output interfaces (which may be referred to in the context as "third input-output interfaces") on target electronic component 130. The plurality of third input-output interfaces may be located on the same surface of the target electronic component 130. The control module 111 is further configured to configure the operating parameters of the plurality of GPIOs according to the acquired configuration information. In one example, the number of third input-output interfaces on the target electronic component 130 may be equal to or less than the number of GPIOs included with the device 110. Since the device 110 may accommodate multiple electronic components and the number of interfaces required for each electronic component may be different, a greater number of GPIOs may be provided on the device 110 than the number of input-output interfaces of known electronic components. In some cases, a portion of the GPIOs included with device 110 may not be used (not coupled to the third input-output interface). The portion of the GPIOs included in device 110 may be used as a backup interface for future use.

In one example, the control module 111 may be configured to: the method includes reading the electrical signals of the plurality of GPIOs, determining identification information of the coupled target electronic component 130 based on the read electrical signals, and determining configuration information of the target electronic component 130 based on the identification information. The multiple GPIOs may read different electrical characteristics (e.g., voltage, current, resistance, etc.) when coupled to a third input/output interface of a different electronic component. In one example, one electrical characteristic map (which may be referred to in the context as a "first map") may be established for a plurality of electronic components. The first mapping table reflects the corresponding relation between the read combination relation of the electrical characteristics and the identification information of the plurality of electronic components. Identification information of the target electronic component 130 corresponding to the read combination relationship of the electrical characteristics may be found in the first mapping table. Multiple electronic components may be stored in device 110 a second mapping table identifying information and configuration information thereof. The device 110 may look up the configuration information of the target electronic component 130 according to the identification information of the target electronic component 130 in the second mapping table.

In another example, the control module 111 may be configured to: the one or more of the plurality of GPIOs communicate with the target electronic component 130 to obtain configuration information for the target electronic component 130. In this case, the target electronic component 130 may include a micro control unit. The control module 111 may communicate with the micro-control unit of the target electronic component 130 to obtain configuration information of the target electronic component 130. Alternatively, the target electronic component 130 may include a memory module, such as an electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM) or flash memory (flash), or the like. In which the configuration information of the target electronic component 130 is stored. When the control module 111 is coupled with the target electronic component 130, the one or more GPIOs (which herein may be configured as input interfaces) may be coupled to an output interface of the memory module. In this way, the control module 111 may read the configuration information stored in the memory module of the target electronic component 130 through the one or more GPIOs.

In the example of fig. 1, target electronic component 130 includes a functional module 131. The functional module 131 may be coupled to the above-mentioned plurality of third input-output interfaces. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the functional module 131 may include one or more of the following modules: the device comprises a gas monitoring module, a dust detection module, a satellite communication module, a lighting module, a wireless charging module, a steam sterilization module, an infrared sensing module, an alarm module, an inflator pump module, a tire pressure detection module, an air purification module, a dust collection module, a liquid spraying module and a screw driver module.

Although other modules included in the target electronic component 130 are not shown in the example of fig. 1, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the target electronic component 130 may also include other necessary modules required for operation.

As described above, the control module 111 determines an object code file of the adaptation target electronic component 130 according to the acquired configuration information. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the object code file of the adapted target electronic component 130 may be stored in a storage module of the target electronic component 130. The control module 111 may determine how to read the object code file in the storage module of the object electronic component 130 based on the acquired configuration information. In this case, the memory module of the target electronic component 130 corresponds to an external memory device of the apparatus 110. The control module 111 may execute the object code file in the storage module of the target electronic component 130 to control the operation of the target electronic component 130.

Alternatively, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, the object code file of the adapted object electronic component may be stored in an apparatus that may be adapted to a plurality of electronic components. An apparatus that can adapt a plurality of electronic components can include a memory module. An object code file of the adapted object electronic component may be stored in the storage module. Fig. 2 shows an exemplary block diagram of an electronic product 200 having the arrangement described above. In the example of fig. 2, the apparatus 210, which may adapt to a plurality of electronic components, includes a control module 211 and a storage module 212. The storage module 212 is coupled to the control module 211. The storage module 212 stores at least one code file therein. Each code file of the at least one code file is adapted to a respective electronic component of the plurality of electronic components. For example, a first code file may be adapted to a first electronic component, a second code file may be adapted to a second electronic component, a third code file may be adapted to a third electronic component, and so on. The control module 211 is further configured to select an object code file from the at least one code file according to the acquired configuration information.

In one example, the storage module 212 has stored therein a first code file adapted to a first electronic component and a second code file adapted to a second electronic component. In the case where the configuration information acquired by the control module 211 indicates that the target electronic component is the second electronic component, the control module 211 selects the second code file as the target code file.

In the example of fig. 2, the target electronic component 230 includes a functional module 231 and a power module 232. The power module 232 may provide power to the electronic product 200. In particular, the power module 232 may be coupled to the functional module 231 to provide power to the functional module 231. The power module 232 may also be coupled to the device 210 to provide power to the device 210. Thus, in the example of fig. 2, the device 210 that may adapt to multiple electronic components may not be provided with a power module. However, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the device 210 may be provided with a power module regardless of whether the target electronic component 230 includes the power module 232. In the case where the target electronic component 230 does not include the power module 232, the device 210 needs to be provided with the power module.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the power module 232 may not provide power to the outside in the case where the target electronic component 230 is not coupled to the device 210, so as to avoid a security incident caused by a power interface reserved for the target electronic component 230 being connected by mistake.

Fig. 3 illustrates yet another exemplary block diagram of an electronic product 300 of alternative electronic components according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. In the example of fig. 3, an apparatus 310 that may adapt a plurality of electronic components includes: a control module 311 a storage module 312 and a communication module 313. Wherein the storage module 312 and the communication module 313 are coupled to the control module 311, respectively. The communication module 313 can communicate with an external storage device (not shown). For example, a wireless radio frequency sub-module (e.g., a bluetooth sub-module, a WiFi sub-module, a 4G sub-module, a 5G sub-module, etc.) may be disposed in the communication module 313 to wirelessly communicate with an external storage device (e.g., a cloud storage node, etc.). Alternatively, the communication module 313 may be connected to an external storage device by wire. The external storage device has stored therein a plurality of code files adapted to each of the plurality of electronic components. The control module 311 is further configured to: in the case where it is determined that there is no object code file in the at least one code file stored in the storage module 312, the object code file is acquired from the external storage device through the communication module 313 and the acquired object code file is stored in the storage module 312.

In one example, the storage module 312 has stored therein a first code file adapted to a first electronic component and a second code file adapted to a second electronic component. In the case where the configuration information acquired by the control module 311 indicates that the target electronic component is a third electronic component, the control module 311 may acquire a third code file adapted to the third electronic component from an external storage device through the communication module 313 and store the third code file in the storage module 312. In the event that the memory space of the memory module 312 is insufficient to store the first code file, the second code file, and the third code file simultaneously, the third code file may be stored in the memory area of the first code file or the second code file to replace the first code file or the second code file.

In the example of fig. 3, the target electronic component 330 includes a functional module 331 and a power module 332. Similar to the example of fig. 2, the power module 332 may provide power to the electronic product 300.

In the example of fig. 4, target electronics 430 includes a functional module 431, but does not include a power module. The power module 414 in the device 410 may provide power to the target electronic component 430 under the control of the control module 411. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the configuration information obtained by the control module 411 includes power supply information of the target electronic component. The control module 411 is further configured to: the power module 414 is controlled to supply power to the target electronic component 430 according to the power supply information. In one example, the control module 411 may determine parameters that provide power to the target electronic component 430, such as a power supply protocol (SPI, I2C, PD, etc. protocol), a rated voltage value, a rated current value, etc., from the acquired power supply information.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, although not shown, the power module 414 may include an energy storage unit, a charging circuit, and a discharging circuit. The control module 411 is further configured to: the control power module 414 stores power supplied from an external power source in the energy storage unit via the charging circuit in a case where the power module 414 is coupled to the external power source, and the control power module 414 supplies power from the energy storage unit to the external device to be charged via the discharging circuit in a case where the power module 414 is coupled to the external device to be charged. In this case, the device 410 may be used as a mobile power source, whether or not the device 410 is coupled to the target electronic component 430.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the apparatus 410 may be in a low power consumption mode before the apparatus 410 is coupled to other components (the target electronic assembly 430, or an external device to be charged) so that operation can be quickly started when coupled to the other components.

As an alternative to the examples of fig. 2-4, the device that may adapt the plurality of electronic components may comprise only a control module and a power module. Other modules (e.g., a memory module and/or a communication module, etc.) included in the apparatus of fig. 2-4 may be disposed in the target electronic component. The communication module of the target electronic component is capable of communicating with an external storage device. The external storage device may have stored therein multiple versions of a code file that is adapted to the target electronic component. Wherein, in a case where the target electronic component is coupled to an apparatus adaptable to a plurality of electronic components, the apparatus may control the communication module of the target electronic component to communicate with the external storage device to acquire a target version of the target code file and update the code file stored in the storage module of the target electronic component with the acquired target version.

Fig. 5 illustrates yet another exemplary block diagram of an electronic product 500 with replaceable electronic components according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

The display module 515 may include, for example, a display screen. The keying module 516 may include, for example, one or more keys. The storage module 512, the communication module 513, the power module 514, the display module 515, and the keying module 516 are coupled to the control module 511. The control module 511 may be configured to control or configure one or more of the storage module 512, the communication module 513, the power module 514, the display module 515, and the keying module 516 according to the acquired configuration information. For example, the control module 511 may control the display module 515 to display the acquired configuration information, battery information (battery power percentage, low battery reminder, etc.), operation data of the functional module, etc. The control module 511 may configure the functions of the respective keys in the key module according to the acquired configuration information.

As an alternative to the example of fig. 5, the device that may adapt the plurality of electronic components may not include a display module and/or a keying module. Alternatively, the target electronic component may comprise a display module and/or a keying module. Devices adapted to a plurality of electronic components control module for controlling display of target electronic component the display of the module and/or the receipt of key inputs from a keying module of the target electronic component.
