More than introduced the composition and the structure of docking station of the present invention, then introduce docking station of the present invention below in detail and how to work, and how the present invention has implemented the method that mobile terminal to lock fixes in the docking station.
The method that mobile terminal to lock is fixed in the docking station of the present invention comprises detection step and lock step, after the docking station energising, embedded controller (EC on the docking station mainboard, Embedded Controller) promptly begins to work on power, detect simultaneously and put into two relevant signals with portable terminal 100, one of them signal is to be used to judge whether portable terminal 100 is set up with the interface 213 of depressed place main body 200 is electrically connected, this signal 1 is a high level signal, directly draw from the pin of the interface 213 that is used for being electrically connected with portable terminal 100, after portable terminal 100 is put into docking station, after the interface 213 of the bottom of portable terminal 100 and depressed place main body 200 contacted, this signal became low level.In order to improve the reliability of detection, the embedded controller on the docking station mainboard also needs the signal of detecting sensor, as the 2nd detection signal.When portable terminal 100 was not put into docking station, signal 2 same output high level were to EC.After portable terminal was put into docking station, signal 2 output low levels were to EC.Have only signal 1,2 simultaneously for high level, docking station thinks that just portable terminal do not put into.Equally, have only signal 1,2 simultaneously for low level, docking station thinks that just portable terminal puts into.When any one signal is a high level, when another signal is low level, then think disarmed state, docking station is left intact.And the probability that two signals are made mistakes is far smaller than the probability that a signal is made mistakes, and has improved whole reliability thus.High level described in the present embodiment and low level are comparatively speaking, represent the invalid and effective of signal, in practical design, can determine according to circumstances that high level effectively still is that low level is effective.
After if docking station is started working, signal 1,2 does not become low level simultaneously, and the EC on this moment docking station mainboard thinks that portable terminal 100 do not put into.This moment, EC sent rz signal to steering wheel 310, and no matter which kind of state electric lock unit 300 is in, and all will carry out one time rezero operation, and electric lock unit 300 is in the shape body of unblanking.Unlocking condition as shown in Figure 2, this moment, steering wheel 310 was in zero-bit, the cell wall of the outstanding storage tank 211 of pivot pin 350.The control of steering wheel 310 is made up of signal controlling and power supply control two parts, after receiving the signal that portable terminal 100 is not put into, EC at first changes the control signal of steering wheel 310 to the position of making zero, give steering wheel 310 power supplies then, make it drive the electric lock unit and move to unlocking condition, power supply is outage automatically behind the time-delay certain hour.Equally, after receiving the signal that portable terminal 100 has been put into, EC at first changes the control signal of steering wheel 310 to latched position, then to the steering wheel power supply, makes it drive electric lock unit 300 and moves to lock-out state, and power supply is outage automatically behind the time-delay certain hour.
Concrete locking process such as Fig. 3, shown in Figure 6, after portable terminal 100 is placed on the depressed place main body 200, signal 1,2 becomes low level, EC control steering wheel 310 clockwise rotates certain angle, steering wheel 310 drives the crank of fixing on it 320 and rotates, crank 320 drivening rods 330 rotate around fulcrum, thereby pulling arm-tie 340, the pivot pin 350 that is fixed on the arm-tie 340 is ejected forward, insert in the axle sleeve 101 of opposite position on the portable terminal 100, thereby portable terminal 100 is locked on the depressed place main body 200.Simultaneously, the lock semaphore on the docking station front panel lights, and hummer sends short sound, reminds customer mobile terminal to be locked on the docking station.In order to avoid the user do not know status of mobile terminal and by force it is taken away, cause the damage of portable terminal or docking station.Be illustrated in figure 6 as the position of lock-out state pivot pin.
The method that mobile terminal to lock is fixed in the docking station of the present invention also comprises the release step, and when the user need take out portable terminal, the user pressed the locking key of separating on the portable terminal 100, and this moment, system can skip to the windows login interface.Then, the user inputs password or logins windows by fingerprint.Release software is determining after this process takes place, and with the EC in the notice portable terminal 100, the EC in the portable terminal 100 can send out the EC of unlocking signal to the docking station mainboard then.EC control steering wheel 310 on the docking station mainboard is rotated counterclockwise and gets back to zero-bit at this moment, with pivot pin 350 withdrawals, thereby takes out portable terminal.Simultaneously, the lock semaphore on the docking station front panel is extinguished, and hummer sends long sound, reminds user's release, can take portable terminal away.Consider that the user may want to take away portable terminal sometimes, but do not take away because of some reasons (leaving) temporarily again after making the release action that this moment must be again with mobile terminal locking for security consideration such as the user is busy.Docking station is receiving portable terminal release letter back time-delay 10s, if signal 1,2 still is a low level behind the 10s, then again with mobile terminal locking.If signal 1,2 is a high level, then keep released state up to the change of state next time.
When considering accident power-off, the signal that can't generate electricity drives steering wheel 310, and this moment, the user needed to take out portable terminal, the method that mobile terminal to lock is fixed in the docking station of the present invention also comprises the manual unlocking step, be provided with manual lock 400 in depressed place main body 200, manual lock 400 has a shifting block 410, when needing release, insert key, the shifting block 410 of rotation manual lock 400 is stirred arm-tie 340 and is moved, make arm-tie 340 drive pivot pins 350 and be withdrawn in the depressed place main body 200, make electric lock unit 300 become unlocking condition by lock-out state.
In the present invention, in order to improve the reliability of detection, whether detect portable terminal and depressed place main body in detecting step simultaneously sets up and is electrically connected and whether sensor has detected portable terminal and put into, be only to detect one of them signal in the reality, judge whether portable terminal is put in the main body of depressed place, be not limited to two signals and detect simultaneously.It will be appreciated that equally, the preferred embodiments of the present invention only are schematic, docking station of the present invention is not limited to the docking station of portable terminal in the present embodiment, also can be other docking stations such as various other portable terminals such as panel computer, multimedia player, mobile phone, portable detectors.
