Wherein the casing Communication coil 13 may be a Near Field Communication coil (NFC coil), and the casing power supply 14 may be a wireless charging coil power supply, so that the mobile terminal conveniently supplies power to the casing power supply 14 of the mobile phone casing 10 in a wireless charging manner.
In which the case control chip 15 stores therein operation mode information of the handset case for providing the type of operation mode that the handset case 10 has. The type of the working mode of the mobile phone shell here is a lighting scheme of the shell LED lamp 12 which is set in the shell control chip 15 in advance by the user, and since the lighting requirements of the shell LED lamp 12 in the mobile phone shell 10 are different for different users, some preset lighting schemes are set in the shell control chip 15 in the way of the working mode information of the mobile phone shell, so that the user can select the preset lighting schemes.
When the mobile phone shell 10 of the embodiment is used, a user of the mobile terminal can set the mobile phone shell 10 on the back of the mobile terminal, that is, the shell of the mobile phone shell 10 is set on the back side of the mobile terminal. The mobile terminal can induce the shell communication coil 13 of the mobile phone shell 10 through the NFC coil of the mobile terminal; the mobile terminal may then communicate with the housing control chip 15 via the housing communication coil 13, for example, read corresponding operating mode information of the mobile phone housing from the housing control chip 15, so that the mobile terminal may control the housing LED lamp 12.
And finally, the mobile terminal drives the shell LED lamp 12 of the hand shell 10 through the shell control chip 15 according to the acquired working mode information of the mobile phone shell, and meanwhile, the shell power supply 14 supplies power to the shell LED lamp 12. Thus, the anti-falling and waterproof capabilities of the mobile terminal can be enhanced by arranging the mobile phone shell 10; the housing LED light 12 of the handset housing 10 may in turn enhance the back display of the mobile terminal.

And confirms whether the mobile terminal 41 is matched with the handset case 42 based on handset case authentication information in the handset case information.
In step S403, if the mobile phone shell 42 is matched with the mobile terminal 41, the mobile terminal 41 obtains the mobile phone shell operating mode information of the shell control chip 42A through the shell communication coil 426. This cell-phone shell mode information has set up the different mode types of casing LED lamp 423 on the cell-phone shell 42, and user's accessible mobile terminal 41 selects the cell-phone shell mode type that corresponds, also can directly use cell-phone shell 42 to recommend the cell-phone shell mode type that uses. This determines the mode of operation of the housing LED light 423 of the handset housing 42 in different scenarios.

If the handset housing 42 is properly and snugly fitted to the mobile terminal 41, the terminal LED lamp 412 is turned off, the terminal logo lamp 414 in the housing light-transmitting area 425 is turned on, and the housing LED lamp 423 on the handset housing 42 is turned on. If the handset shell 42 is detached from the mobile terminal 41, the terminal LED lamp 412 and the terminal logo lamp 414 are lit to ensure better interaction with the user.
Meanwhile, the terminal wireless charging coil 415 of the mobile terminal 41 can provide power for the wireless charging coil power source 426, and then the wireless charging coil power source 426 provides power for the housing LED lamp 423, the housing communication coil 424 and the housing LED lamp 423, as shown in fig. 4 c.
