Detailed Description

Reference will now be made in detail to the exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, like numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The implementations described in the exemplary embodiments below are not intended to represent all implementations consistent with the present disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with certain aspects of the present disclosure, as detailed in the appended claims.

The technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the disclosure relates to a terminal, which can be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a smart watch and other devices capable of being charged and provided with applications, and the embodiment of the disclosure does not limit the devices. In the related art, the quick charging function set for the terminal by the manufacturer is to charge the terminal by using a large charging current. Although the terminal battery can be replenished with a large amount of electricity in a short time by using the quick charge function, the temperature of the terminal may be increased during the charging process. If the user needs to use the terminal which is performing fast charging, the user may be scalded by the terminal, and the user experience is not good. In the technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the disclosure, when the current of charging is detected to be large and the current running application is the preset application, it is described that the normal use of the user to the terminal may be affected due to the heating of the terminal caused by the large-current charging at the moment, so that the terminal can reduce the charging current value, the situation that the temperature of the terminal rises due to the charging is avoided, the situation that the user is scalded by the terminal when using the terminal being charged is further avoided, and the user experience is improved.

Fig. 1a is a flowchart illustrating a charging method for a terminal according to an exemplary embodiment, as shown in fig. 1a, the charging method includes the following steps 101 to 102:

in step 101, when it is detected that a current value currently performing charging is greater than or equal to a preset current threshold, it is determined whether an application currently running by the terminal is a preset application.

For example, since the quick charging function is generally started when the terminal has a low electric quantity, and the current value of the terminal during charging is not necessarily large, when the terminal is charging, it is necessary to first determine whether the current value currently being charged is greater than or equal to a preset current threshold value. The terminal may set a current value corresponding to the fast charging function as a preset current threshold, for example, the preset current threshold may be 2A (ampere), that is, the terminal may detect whether the fast charging function is currently used for charging; or the terminal may set another current value as the preset current threshold according to a user instruction, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present disclosure. When the terminal determines that the current value of the current charging is greater than or equal to the preset current threshold, it indicates that the current value of the current charging is large, and a terminal heating situation may occur. If the terminal determines that the current value of the current charging is smaller than the preset current threshold, the current charging current is smaller, the terminal does not generate heat, and the current value can be continuously used for charging.

Optionally, the terminal may set a plurality of preset applications according to the user instruction, where the preset applications are applications that the user needs to hold the terminal or make contact with the terminal by the face to use, such as a voice call application, a game application, and a shopping application. Optionally, the terminal may display a setting interface according to a user instruction, where the setting interface displays application identifiers and confirmation buttons of multiple applications installed in the terminal. The user may click on one or more of the application identifications as desired and click on the confirmation button after the selection is complete. And when detecting that the confirmation button is clicked, the terminal confirms that a setting instruction is received, wherein the setting instruction comprises application identifications of one or more applications clicked on a setting interface by a user. At this time, the terminal can set the application corresponding to the one or more application identifiers selected by the user as the preset application according to the setting instruction. In practical application, the terminal may also receive a setting instruction sent by a server or other terminals, and set an application corresponding to one or more application identifiers included in the setting instruction as a preset application. The terminal may set a preset application list in which one or more preset applications set by the terminal are recorded. When the terminal determines that the current value of the current charging is greater than or equal to the preset current threshold, the identifier of the currently running application can be obtained, then the list is inquired, whether the identifier of the currently running application exists in the list is determined, and if the identifier of the currently running application exists in the list, the currently running application is indicated as the preset application; if the current running application is not the preset application, the current running application is not the preset application.

In step 102, if the currently running application is a preset application, the current value for charging is adjusted to a preset current value, and the preset current value is smaller than a preset current threshold.

For example, if the terminal determines that the currently running application is the preset application, it indicates that the user may be holding the terminal for use currently or touching the terminal for use, and the terminal may generate heat, which may affect the user, so that the terminal may adjust the current value for charging to the preset current value, that is, reduce the current value for charging, and avoid the terminal generating heat during charging. The preset current value may be set by a user according to experience, for example, the preset current value may be 1A or 0.5A, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present disclosure.

Optionally, the preset application may be a voice call. When the terminal detects that the current charging current value is larger than or equal to the preset current threshold value, whether the application currently running in the terminal is a voice call is determined. If the application currently running in the terminal is voice call, it indicates that the user may be currently using the hands-free function for voice call or using the receiver for voice call. If the user adopts the hands-free function to carry out voice communication, the user cannot be in contact with the terminal, so that the terminal generates heat and cannot influence the user; if the user adopts the earphone to carry out voice call, the user needs to hold the terminal and is close to the face so that the earphone of the terminal is contacted with the ear, and at the moment, the terminal generates heat to influence the normal call of the user. When a user adopts a receiver to carry out voice call, a light sensor arranged near the terminal receiver can detect that the brightness is smaller than or equal to a preset brightness threshold value, and then the terminal screen is indicated to be in a screen-off state to reduce the power consumption of the terminal in the voice call, therefore, when the terminal determines that the application running at present is the voice call, whether the terminal screen is in the screen-off state can be determined, if the screen is in the screen-off state, the user probably adopts the receiver to carry out the voice call is explained, therefore, the terminal can adjust the current value for charging to the preset current value, and the situation that the face or the ear of the user is scalded due to the fact that the terminal generates heat due to high-current.

Optionally, since the light sensor determines whether to instruct the terminal screen to turn off the screen according to the brightness, even when the face or the ear of the user is far away from the terminal screen, if the surrounding environment is dark, the light sensor may detect that the brightness is less than or equal to the preset brightness threshold, and further instruct the terminal screen to turn off the screen. That is, in the case that the face or ear of the user is far away from the terminal screen, the face or ear of the user can still trigger the terminal screen to be turned off. In this case, even if the terminal is charged with a large current to generate heat, the terminal does not affect the user, and if the charging current value is adjusted to a preset current value, the charging efficiency may be decreased meaninglessly. Therefore, when the terminal determines that the screen is in the screen-off state, it may also determine whether an obstacle triggering screen-off, such as the face or the ear of a user, is a distance from the terminal screen that is less than or equal to a preset distance threshold. Specifically, the light sensor may determine the distance between the obstacle and the screen by reflection of light, or the terminal may be provided with a distance sensor and determine the distance between the obstacle and the screen by using the distance sensor. If the distance between the barrier and the terminal screen is smaller than or equal to the preset distance threshold value, it is indicated that the user may be using a receiver to perform voice call, and the distance between the face or the ear and the terminal is short, so that the terminal can adjust the charged current value to the preset current value, and the situation that the face or the ear of the user is scalded due to the fact that the terminal generates heat due to large-current charging is avoided. If the distance between the barrier and the terminal screen is greater than the preset distance threshold, it indicates that the user may use a receiver to perform voice call, but the distance from the user to the terminal is long, and the heat generated by the terminal will not affect the user temporarily, so that the terminal can continue to use the current charging current value to perform charging, and the charging efficiency of the terminal is ensured.

In the technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the disclosure, when the current of charging is detected to be large and the current running application is the preset application, it is described that the normal use of the user to the terminal may be affected due to the heating of the terminal caused by the large-current charging at the moment, so that the terminal can reduce the charging current value, the situation that the temperature of the terminal rises due to the charging is avoided, the situation that the user is scalded by the terminal when using the terminal being charged is further avoided, and the user experience is improved.

In one embodiment, as shown in fig. 1b, in step 102, if the currently running application is a preset application, adjusting the current value for charging to a preset current value may be implemented through steps 1021 to 1022.

In step 1021, if the currently running application is a preset application, it is determined whether the state of the current user holding the terminal meets a preset condition.

In step 1022, if the current state of the user holding the terminal satisfies the predetermined condition, the current value is adjusted to the predetermined current value.

For example, when the user uses the terminal to play a game or shop, the user may hold the terminal in a relatively fixed posture and make contact with the terminal, so that the user may set a preset condition according to the posture, where the preset condition is used to limit a holding state of the user when the user uses the terminal. When the application currently running in the terminal is the preset application, whether the state of the current user holding the terminal meets the preset condition or not can be further determined. If the current state of the terminal held by the user meets the preset condition, the user is currently using the terminal in a normal holding posture, and the normal use of the user is possibly influenced by the heating of the terminal at the moment, so that the terminal can be adjusted to a preset current value by the current value; if the current state of the terminal held by the user does not meet the preset condition, it is indicated that although the terminal is running the application such as games, shopping or videos, the user does not hold the terminal or contacts the terminal, the terminal generates heat and does not affect the user, and therefore the terminal can continue to be charged by adopting the current.

Optionally, the preset condition may be that the contact area is greater than or equal to a preset area threshold, that is, when the terminal determines that the currently running application is the preset application, it may be determined whether the contact area with the terminal when the terminal is held by the current user is greater than or equal to the preset area threshold. If the contact area with the terminal when the terminal is held by the current user is larger than or equal to the preset area threshold, the fact that the user is using the terminal in a normal holding posture currently indicates that the normal use of the user is possibly influenced by the heating of the terminal, and therefore the terminal can be adjusted to the preset current value through the current value; if the contact area with the terminal when the current user holds the terminal is smaller than the preset area threshold, it indicates that although the terminal is running the application such as games, shopping or videos, the user does not hold the terminal or makes contact with the terminal, so the terminal can continue to be charged by using the current.

In the technical scheme provided by the embodiment of the disclosure, when the current of charging is detected to be large, the current running application is the preset application, and the state of the user using the terminal at present meets the preset condition, it is described that the normal use of the user on the terminal may be influenced by the terminal heating caused by the large-current charging, so that the terminal can reduce the charging current value, the condition that the temperature of the terminal rises caused by charging is avoided, the condition that the user is scalded by the terminal when using the charging terminal is further avoided, and the user experience is improved.

The implementation is described in detail below by way of several embodiments.

In step 202, according to the setting instruction, an application corresponding to at least one application identifier included in the setting instruction is set as a preset application.

In step 302, according to the setting instruction, an application corresponding to at least one application identifier included in the setting instruction is set as a preset application.

The preset application can be a game application, a shopping application or a video application.

In step 303, during charging, detecting whether a current value currently being charged is greater than or equal to a preset current threshold, if the current value currently being charged is less than the preset current threshold, executing step 304; if the current value of the current charging is greater than or equal to the preset current threshold, step 305 is executed.

In step 304, the charging is continued at the current value, and the present routine is ended.

In step 305, determining whether the contact area with the terminal when the current user holds the terminal is larger than or equal to a preset area threshold value; if the contact area with the terminal is smaller than the preset area threshold when the current user holds the terminal, executing step 304; if the contact area with the terminal when the current user holds the terminal is greater than or equal to the preset area threshold, go to step 306.

In step 306, the current value of the current charging is adjusted to a preset current value, where the preset current value is smaller than a preset current threshold.
