Referring to fig. 1, the electronic device 10 includes a processor 110, a sensing module 120, a power module 130, and a power supply 210. The electronic device 10 may be a portable electronic device, a mobile phone, a tablet computer (tablet computer), a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), a wearable device, or a notebook computer.
As shown in fig. 1, the processor 110 is coupled to the sensing module 120 and the power module 130. The processor 110 may be a Central Processing Unit (CPU) or a microprocessor of the electronic device 10.
The power module 130 includes a power supply circuit 133 and a battery module 131, and the power supply circuit 133 is coupled to the battery module 131. The power supply circuit 133 may be coupled to the power supply 210 through a charging wire to provide the battery module 131 with the power obtained from the power supply 210. In one embodiment, the battery module 131 is a lithium battery or other type of rechargeable battery. In some embodiments, the power supply 210 may be a commercial power, a computer device, a mobile power supply, or the like, which is not limited by the invention.
In one embodiment, the sensing module 120 detects whether the power module 130 is electrically connected to the power supply 210. in this embodiment, when the power circuit 133 of the power module 130 is electrically connected to the power supply 210, the sensing module 120 detects an input signal of the power supply 210. In one embodiment, the input signal includes a current signal, a voltage signal, or other similar power signal.
The sensing module 120 transmits a first signal to the processor 110 when detecting that the power module 130 is connected to the power supply 210 (i.e., the power supply circuit 133 is electrically connected to the power supply 210) or the power module 130 is charged. The processor 110 reads a charging start time point (i.e., time information when charging is started) of the electronic device 10 according to the first signal. In the electronic device 10 of the present invention, the processor 110 reads the current electric quantity of the battery module 131 as an embodiment, and in other embodiments, an electric quantity sensing circuit (not shown) for reading the electric quantity of the battery module 131 may be disposed in the electronic device 10.
During the continuous charging process, the power supply 210 continuously supplies power to the battery module 131 through the power supply circuit 133 until the connection between the power module 130 and the power supply 210 is interrupted. When the sensing module 120 detects that the power module 130 is not connected to the power supply 210 or the power module 130 is interrupted from charging, it transmits a second signal to the processor 110. The processor 110 reads a charging end time point (i.e., time information when charging is ended) of the electronic device 10 according to the second signal. In one embodiment, the processor 110 also reads the current charge reading of the battery module 131 according to the second signal. The current charge reading is, for example, battery charge percentage information. In an embodiment, the charging start time point and the charging end time point are at least one of date information, clock information or other similar information that can indicate the date and time.
The processor 110 records the charging start time point, the current charge amount reading, and the charging end time point as the usage state information. In an embodiment, the usage status information is at least one of a charging start time point when the secondary power supply circuit 133 is connected to the power supply 210, an off time point when the power supply circuit 133 is disconnected from the power supply 210, or a current charge reading of the battery module 131 at the off time point, but not limited thereto. Therefore, the charging habit database of the user is established by recording the use status data generated by the power module 130 after each time a complete charging procedure is executed. In one embodiment, the complete charging process refers to a process from the connection of the power module 130 to the power supply 210 to the interruption of the electrical connection between the power module 130 and the power supply 210.
Referring to fig. 1 and 2, when the sensing module 120 detects that the power module 130 is connected to the power supply 210, in step S201, the sensing module 120 transmits a first signal to the processor 110. The processor 110 reads a charging start time point at which the power module 130 starts to be charged according to the first signal. Next, step S203 is executed, and the processor 110 estimates a charging resuming time point according to the usage status information. In one embodiment, when the electronic device 10 is not charged, the time point for resuming the charging cannot be estimated according to the usage status information. At this time, the processor 110 may estimate the charging recovery time point by a pre-established algorithm or normal charging rule information (e.g., the work and rest time or the charging habit of the general user).
In step S205, the processor 110 continuously monitors how much the battery module 131 is charged while the power supply 210 continuously supplies power to the battery module 131 through the power supply circuit 133. As shown in step S207, when the battery module 131 is charged to the first power amount, the processor 110 controls the power supply circuit 133 to stop supplying the power received from the power supply 210 to the battery module 131 (i.e., the power supply circuit 133 stops charging the battery module 131). The processor 110 also retrieves the charging suspension time point and records the charging suspension time point to the usage status information. In one embodiment, the charging suspension time point includes a calendar date and a clock time. The power supply circuit 133 is suspended from charging the battery module 131 from the suspension charging time point to the resumption charging time point.
In step S209, until the time point of resuming the charging, the processor 110 controls the power supply circuit 133 to resume the charging of the battery module 131. Then, the battery module 131 is continuously charged from the first power to a second power, wherein the second power is greater than the first power. For example, the first amount of power is 80% of the power, and the second amount of power is 100% of the power. The present invention is not limited to representing the amount of power, and any manner of representing the amount of power of the battery is within the scope of the present invention.
The processor 110 estimates the time point of recovering the charging according to the recorded usage status information. In one embodiment, after the processor 110 obtains the charging start time point, the usage status information is applied to the algorithm to estimate the charging end time point. The charging end time point is an estimated end time point of the complete charging process. In one embodiment, the charging end time point refers to at least one of a time point when the connection between the electronic device 10 and the power supply 210 is interrupted or a time point when the capacity of the battery module 131 is fully charged.
In an embodiment, the processor 110 mathematically and statistically groups a plurality of charging start time points with high correlation into a same group, and each group has a corresponding charging start time point and a corresponding charging end time point. Then, after analyzing the group to which the initial charging time point belongs by an algorithm, the ending time point corresponding to the group is used as the charging ending time point of the charging program. In an embodiment, the algorithm is at least one of a K-means algorithm (K-means algorithm), a linear regression algorithm (linear regression algorithm), a neural network learning algorithm (neural network learning algorithm), or other similar algorithms, but the invention is not limited thereto.
Further, the processor 110 back estimates the estimated charging end time point for a period of time to obtain a charging resuming time point. In one embodiment, the processor 110 subtracts the charging end time point from the charging duration to obtain the charging resuming time point. In one embodiment, the recharging time period refers to a time period required for the battery module 131 to be charged from the first power level to the second power level or a preset time period (e.g., 1 hour). That is, when the battery module 131 is charged to the first amount of power, the charging is suspended for a period of time until the charging time is resumed, and the processor 110 controls the power supply circuit 133 to resume charging the battery module 131. The intelligent charging method can avoid the problem that the battery module 131 of the power module 130 is continuously supplied with high current by the power supply 210 for a long time, so that the power module 130 is damaged. In addition, the method of estimating the time point of recovering the charging according to the work and rest of the user and the charging habit can determine when to recover the charging, so as to avoid the problem that the user is not fully charged when the user urgently needs the electronic device 10.
Referring to fig. 1 and 3A, in one embodiment, when the power module 130 is connected to the power supply 210 (i.e., the charging start time T) 0 ) The processor 110 reads the current electric quantity EQ of the battery module 131 current For example 15%.
Next, the processor 110 determines whether the current electric quantity of the battery module 131 is less than the first electric quantity EQ first (e.g., 80%) to determine whether to charge the batteryThe module 131 performs a first stage of charging. In one embodiment, when the processor 110 determines the current electric quantity EQ of the battery module 131 current EQ less than the first electric quantity firs At this time, the processor 110 controls the power supply circuit 133 to start charging the battery module 131 (i.e., the power supply circuit 133 supplies the electric energy obtained from the power supply 210 to the battery module 131), so that the electric quantity of the battery module 131 is changed from the current electric quantity EQ current Is charged to a first electric quantity EQ first
As shown in FIG. 3A, the first electrical quantity EQ first The corresponding charging time is the charging stopping time point T f . Therefore, at the charging suspension time point T f At this time, the power supply circuit 133 stops charging the battery module 131 (i.e., the power supply circuit 133 stops supplying the battery module 131 with the electric energy obtained from the power supply 210). In one embodiment, the charging is suspended at a time T f To the recovery charging time point T s During the time interval, the power supply circuit 133 stops charging the battery module 131. Resume charging time point T s The obtaining method of (a) is as described above, and will not be repeated here. It should be noted that, in the time-electricity diagram of the present invention, the time axis represents greenwich mean time and date, or relative time, and any form that can represent absolute or relative relationship of time is within the scope of the present invention.
Until the charging resumption time point T s The power supply circuit 133 charges the battery module 131 in the second stage. The battery module 131 is continuously charged for a charging duration L re Then, the electric quantity is increased from the first electric quantity to the second electric quantity. In one embodiment, the recharge time period L re Is 1 hour, or a time period approaching 1 hour. It is worth mentioning that the recharging time length L in the present invention re The power of the power module 130 can be changed from the first power EQ first Increase to a second electrical quantity EQ second The length of time of (c).
Referring to fig. 3B, the processor 110 determines whether the current electric quantity of the power module 130 is less than the first electric quantity EQ first (e.g., 80%) to determine whether to charge the battery module 131 for the first stage. At one endIn one embodiment, the processor 110 reads the current electric quantity EQ of the battery module 131 current . With the current electric quantity EQ current Is 85% for example. Due to the current electric quantity EQ of the battery module 131 current EQ greater than the first electric quantity first The processor 110 controls the power supply circuit 133 not to perform the first stage charging on the battery module 131 until the charging recovery time point T s The processor 110 controls the power supply circuit 133 to perform the second stage of charging on the battery module 131, and after the battery module 131 is performed the second stage of charging, the electric quantity of the battery module 131 is changed from the first electric quantity EQ first Increase to a second electrical quantity EQ second
The charging method of the present invention records and counts the data (e.g., the time point when the electronic device 10 is connected to the power supply 210, the time point when the user uses the mobile phone) related to the complete charging procedure (e.g., from the beginning of charging to the full charge) executed by the power module 130 each time, so as to analyze and estimate at least one of the time point when the charging is resumed, the time point when the charging is completed, or the time point when the connection between the power module 130 and the power supply 210 is interrupted. Thus, the charging method of the present invention can prevent the power supply circuit 133 from being continuously in a high voltage and high current state, so as to prolong the service life of the power module 130, and can accurately estimate the recharging time point, so that the power amount of the power supply circuit 133 is also in a full state when the power supply 210 disconnects the power module 130.
Referring to fig. 4, in the charging method, after the power module 130 is disconnected from the power supply 210, the usage status information is recorded, and the smart learning is performed according to the current usage status information. Referring to fig. 1 and fig. 4, in step S401, the processor 110 determines whether the electrical connection between the power supply circuit 133 and the power supply 210 is interrupted. Generally, the user disconnects the electronic device 10 from the power supply 210 when the user estimates that the charging is completed or the electronic device 10 needs to be used. When it is determined that the electrical connection between the power supply circuit 133 and the power supply 210 is interrupted, the process proceeds to step S403.
In step S403, the processor 110 reads the current charge amount reading of the battery module 131, and collects a charge start time point, a charge end time point, and the current charge amount reading corresponding to the charge end time point as the usage state information. In one embodiment, the current charge reading is 100% of the battery charge. In another embodiment, the current charge reading is 98% of the battery charge. Whether the current charge reading reaches 100% is influenced by the point in time when the power supply circuit 133 is disconnected from the power supply 210. For example, the power supply circuit 133 is connected to the power supply 210 at 11 pm on 1 st 5 th month, the processor 110 estimates that the charging end time point is 8 am on 2 nd month according to the usage status information, and estimates a charging duration back to obtain a charging recovery time point of 7 am on 2 nd month. In fact, the user disconnects the electronic device 10 from the power supply 210 at 8 am, 2 am, 5 months. Thus, the current charge reading of the battery module 131 is 100%. In order to learn the charging habit of the user, the sensing module 120 collects the charging start time point, the charging end time point and the current reading of the electric quantity corresponding to the charging end time point in each complete charging procedure as the usage status information. In this example, the charge start time point is 5 months 1 day 11 pm, the charge end time point is 5 months 2 days morning 8 p.m., and the current charge reading corresponding to the charge end time point is 100%.
After the processor 110 reads the current electric quantity reading corresponding to the charging ending time point of the battery module 131, in step S405, the processor 110 may determine whether the current electric quantity reading satisfies the second electric quantity. In an embodiment, when the second electric quantity is set to 100%, if the current electric quantity reading is read to be 100%, it can be determined that the current electric quantity reading satisfies the second electric quantity. If the previous charge reading satisfies the second charge, the charge estimate is marked as reached (i.e., the capacity of the battery module 131 is fully charged at the end-of-charge time). Next, step S407 is executed, and the processor 110 generates an estimation result record according to the charging estimation result.
In one embodiment, the estimate record may be a weighted score of a cumulative number of charge estimates that have been reached or not reached. In one embodiment, when the estimated result of charging in the same period of three consecutive days is: the weights reached, reached and reached in succession are 0.6, 0.8, 1.2, and the result of applying the charge estimation equation (0.6+0.8+1.2)/3 is approximately equal to 0.86. In one embodiment, the prediction record is marked as successful when the result of the operation (e.g., 0.86) is greater than or equal to a predetermined value (e.g., 0.8). When the operation result (e.g., 0.6) is less than the set value (e.g., 0.8), the prediction result record is marked as failure. Therefore, it can be known from the prediction result record that the use state information so far is information of high reliability or low reliability. The foregoing weight calculation manner is merely exemplary, and the present invention is not limited thereto. Therefore, when the electronic device 10 is charged again, the processor 110 may evaluate whether to adopt the aforementioned smart charging mode according to the estimation result record. If the estimated result corresponding to the charging period is recorded as success, the intelligent charging mode is used. Referring to fig. 1, fig. 3A and fig. 5, the following describes how to select a general charging mode, a scheduled charging mode or the aforementioned intelligent charging mode. In one embodiment, the normal charging mode refers to that the power supply circuit 133 continuously charges the battery module 131 from the time when the power module 130 is connected to the power supply 210 until the power module 130 is disconnected from the power supply 210 or the capacity of the battery module 131 is fully charged during a complete charging procedure. In one embodiment, the scheduled charging mode is a complete charging procedure in which the power supply circuit 133 starts charging the battery module 131 when the power module 130 is connected to the power supply 210, and stops charging the battery module 131 when the charge of the battery module 131 reaches a certain charge, until the battery module 131 is recharged at a scheduled fixed time.
As shown in fig. 5, when the power supply circuit 133 is connected to the power supply 210, the processor 110 obtains a charging start time point (step S501), which is similar to the step S201. In step S502a, the processor 110 determines whether the full charging process is successfully achieved according to the estimation result record. For example, if the estimation result is recorded as failure (e.g. the estimation result is lower than the set value of 0.8), it indicates that the charging end time point T is estimated according to the current usage status information e The deduced recovery chargeElectrical time point T s May be less accurate than desired (e.g., the battery module 131 cannot be successfully charged to 100%). Therefore, when the estimation result is a failure, the processor 110 selects to execute the general charging mode or the scheduled charging mode (step S505), instead of executing the intelligent charging mode shown in fig. 2-3B. On the other hand, if the estimation result is recorded as successful, it indicates that the smart charging mode shown in fig. 2 to 3B can be executed to estimate the charging resuming time point according to the usage status information, so that the processor 110 executes step S503. In step S503, steps S203 to S209 of fig. 2 are executed.
In another embodiment, the charging method further comprises determining whether there is an actual need to interrupt charging. After the processor 110 obtains the charging start time point (step S501), the processor 110 determines that the charging start time point is equal to the charging recovery time point T by executing step S502b s Whether the time interval between the two is not less than the first threshold value (e.g., 3 hours). If the charging starting time point is equal to the charging recovery time point T s The time interval therebetween is less than the first threshold, and the processor 110 executes the normal charging or the scheduled charging instead of the smart charging mode shown in fig. 2-3B. In an embodiment, the first threshold value may be adjusted according to actual conditions to provide a charging method meeting requirements more flexibly. On the other hand, if the charging starting time point is equal to the charging resuming time point T s The time interval therebetween is not less than (i.e., greater than or equal to) the first threshold, which means that the intelligent charging mode shown in fig. 2-3B can be executed to estimate the charging recovery time point according to the usage status information, so the processor 110 performs step S503. In step S503, steps S203 to S209 of fig. 2 are executed.
In another embodiment, the charging method further comprises determining whether the usage status information is reliable by a mathematical statistic method. After the processor 110 obtains the charging start time point (step S501), the process proceeds to step S502c, and the processor 110 determines whether the deviation value of the usage status information is smaller than a second threshold (e.g., 1). If not, a normal charging or a scheduled charging is performed (i.e., step S505) without performing the smart charging mode shown in fig. 2-3B. In an embodiment, the offset value may be a standard deviation, which means that the intelligent charging mode shown in fig. 2 to 3B may be performed to estimate a charging resuming time point according to the usage status information when the offset value of the usage status information is smaller than the second threshold, and the processor 110 performs step S503. In step S503, steps S203 to S209 of fig. 2 are executed.
In some embodiments, the determination conditions of steps S502 a-S502 c shown in fig. 5 are used to determine which charging mode (general charging mode, scheduled charging mode, or smart charging mode) is to be adopted, and the determination results of the three determination conditions of steps S502 a-S502 c are combined to determine which charging mode is to be adopted. In one embodiment, step S503 is executed only if the determination results in steps S502a to S502c are yes, and step S505 is executed if at least one of the determination results in steps S502a to S502c is no. In other embodiments, other combinations of the three determination conditions are also possible, for example, if two of the determination results are "yes", step S503 is executed, otherwise step S505 is executed.
In summary, the present invention provides an electronic device and a charging method, which can analyze and learn the charging habit of a user through the past usage status information and predict a correct charging end time point, so as to interrupt charging without affecting the charging effect and achieve the effect of protecting the rechargeable battery during the charging process.
