The information presentation unit 13 is connected to the control circuit 14, and receives an information presentation request sent from the control circuit.
Referring to fig. 3, an implementation flow of a charging location prompting method according to an embodiment of the present application is shown.
As shown in fig. 3, the charging location prompting method is applied to a charging device, and the charging device may wirelessly charge the electronic device in the above embodiment.
The method can comprise the following steps:
101. when a charging request is received, a working charging area currently in use and an unused idle charging area are determined.
The charging request can be triggered by the operation of a user, or can be automatically triggered when a condition is met.
In some embodiments, when the charging request is triggered by the user, the user may send the charging request to the communication module of the charging device through the electronic device, or the charging request may be generated by triggering a control key on the charging device. Alternatively, when the charging request is automatically triggered by the charging device meeting the condition, it may be detected that the electronic device is connected to the charging device through a communication module of the charging device, or that the electronic device is close to the charging device to a certain distance.
It will be appreciated that the specific acquisition or trigger conditions of the charging request may be determined according to the actual circumstances.
In some embodiments, determining the operating charging region currently in use and the unused idle charging region when a charging request is received may include:
according to the charging request, the using states of the plurality of charging areas are obtained, wherein the using states comprise a using state and an unused state, and the charging area in the using state is used as a working charging area, and the charging area in the unused state is used as an idle charging area.
If an electronic device is placed on a charging area and the charging device is wirelessly charging the electronic device, the charging area may be defined as being in use. If the electronic device is not wirelessly charged in a charging area, the charging area may be located in an unused state.
Of course, if the electronic device is placed on a certain charging area, but the charging device does not wirelessly charge the electronic device, because the electronic device occupies the placement location, the charging area may also be defined as the in-use state, so as to avoid the conflict of location use.
102. And determining an available target charging area according to the position relation between the working charging area and the idle charging area.
If the charging area is too close to the charging area in use, the charging efficiency of the charging area may be affected by heat generation, electric field interference, or other factors.
In some embodiments, a positional relationship between the working charging region and the idle charging region may be obtained first, and the positional relationship may be determined by a relative distance between the working charging region and the idle charging region.
For example, a threshold is set such that the idle charging region can be used as the target charging region only when the relative distance between the idle charging region and the working charging region is greater than the threshold. Therefore, the next idle charging area needing to be used can be guaranteed to be less influenced by the working charging area, and relatively high charging efficiency can be obtained.
Of course, after a plurality of idle charging areas satisfying the positional relationship between the working charging area and the idle charging area are obtained, the target charging area may be determined from the idle charging areas.
In some embodiments, a charging area may be randomly determined among the idle charging areas as the target charging area, or the target charging area may be determined according to a preset rule.
For example, there are four charging areas numbered a-D, and if the charging area numbered A, D is in a use state, the charging area numbered B, C is in an unused state, and the distance between the charging areas numbered A, D satisfies a predetermined condition, then if there is an electronic device that needs to be wirelessly charged, the charging area numbered B may be randomly used as the target charging area.
In other embodiments, the user may select one of the idle charging areas as the target charging area.
Of course, the specific determination method may be determined according to actual situations, and the present application does not limit this.
103. And sending an information prompting request to the information prompting unit, and displaying prompting information corresponding to the information prompting request through the information prompting unit.
Wherein, the prompt message is used for prompting the position of the target charging area. The information prompting unit can comprise a screen, an indicator light or an electrochromic module.
In some embodiments, the information prompting request may include an identification of the target charging area, which may be one or more, indicating the location of the target charging area. The identification may be a determined number, letter, pattern or a code associated with the number, letter, pattern. The specific representation form of the identifier can be determined according to actual conditions.
For example, if charging area a is determined as the target charging area, an information prompting request associated with the charging area a may be generated and sent to an information prompting unit, such as sending "a", and the information prompting unit may prompt the user that charging area a is available for wireless charging by displaying information such as "charging area a available" on the screen, and further guide the user to use the charging area a.
It is to be understood that the target charging area may be one or multiple charging areas, and if there are multiple charging areas, the user may select the charging area to be used.
In some embodiments, an information prompting unit may be disposed on each charging area. After the target charging area is determined, the information prompting unit on the target charging area can be independently controlled to prompt information.
For example, if it is determined that the target charging area is the charging area a and the information prompting unit is provided with a signal lamp on the charging area, only the signal lamp on the charging area a is controlled to flash for prompting, so that the user can know that the charging area a is available for wireless charging through the flashing signal lamp.
In some embodiments, after the prompt information corresponding to the information prompt request is displayed by the information prompt unit, whether the electronic device of the user is placed on the target charging area may be detected, if so, the charging unit in the charging device may be started, the transmitting coil on the target charging area may be controlled to generate an electric field, and the electronic device may implement wireless charging in the electric field generated by the transmitting coil.
Referring to fig. 4, an application scenario of the charging location prompting method according to the embodiment of the present application is shown in the drawing.
In the application scenario of fig. 4, a charging device 2 is included, the charging device 2 has eight charging areas 21, which are charging areas a-H, and each charging area 21 has a mark 22, which is a mark a-H. The charging device 2 further includes an information prompt unit 23, and the information prompt unit 23 is configured to display prompt information.
When the electronic device needs to be wirelessly charged, the charging device 2 may first obtain a charging request, and the charging device 2 may determine a target charging area from the charging areas therein.
In this process, if an electronic device being charged is placed on a certain charging area, and as shown in fig. 5, the charging area a and the charging area B are occupied by the electronic device 23, a working charging area currently in use and an unused idle charging area may be determined first, as shown in the figure, the working charging area is a charging area a-B, and the idle charging area is a charging area C-H.
When the working charging area and the idle charging area are determined, the relative distance from the charging area C-H to the charging area A-B can be obtained. In this case, the charging area E having a large distance from the charging area a and a small electric field interference may be selected as the target charging area according to the threshold.
Then, an information presentation request is generated based on the identifier of the charging area E, and is sent to the information presentation unit 23. The information prompt unit 23 here is a liquid crystal screen 23, the information prompt request includes a number "E" corresponding to the charging area E, the liquid crystal screen 23 can display the number of the charging area E according to the information prompt request, for example, "the charging area E is chargeable", a user can know an available charging area through the liquid crystal screen 23, and then place the electronic device in the charging area E with better charging efficiency for wireless charging, so as to improve the charging efficiency of the device for wireless charging.
When the charging device 2 detects that the electronic device 24 is placed on the charging area E, the charging unit may be activated to wirelessly charge the electronic device 24 by driving the transmitting coil of the charging unit on the charging area E.
Therefore, the target charging area with small magnetic field interference can be selected, the user can know the position of the target charging area through the prompting effect of the information prompting unit, the user can place the electronic equipment in the target charging area for wireless charging, the influence of the magnetic field interference in the charging process is reduced as much as possible, and the charging efficiency in the charging process is improved. Moreover, the embodiment can also enable the user to place the first electronic device on the charging device at will, and then when the second electronic device needs to be placed, the charging efficiency of the second electronic device can be guaranteed only by placing the electronic device according to the prompt result, so that the charging management and control of the electronic device are more intelligent.
Referring to fig. 6, an implementation manner of determining a target charging area according to an embodiment of the present application is shown.
In some embodiments, determining the usable target charging area according to the position relationship between the working charging area and the idle charging area may include:
201. a separation distance between each idle charging area and each of the working charging areas is determined.
In the charging device, since the distance between each charging area in the product is a fixed value, the distance between each idle charging area and each working charging area can be obtained from a preset database.
For example, if the actual distance between the charging area a and the charging area B is 5 cm in an actual product, the distance between the charging area a and the charging area B may be preset to be 5 cm in the product, and when the distance between each idle charging area and each working charging area needs to be determined, the data may be directly called.
In some embodiments, the separation distance between each idle charging region and each working charging region, for example, if the working charging region includes a charging region a and a charging region B, and the idle charging region includes a charging region C and a charging region B, it is necessary to determine the separation distance between the charging region C and the charging regions a and B, and determine the separation distance between the charging region D and the charging regions a and B.
202. And judging whether the spacing distance is greater than or equal to a preset threshold value.
The preset threshold may be determined according to actual conditions, and the preset threshold is related to the acceptable electric field interference degree in the charging process.
For example, if there is a device in the charging area a that is being wirelessly charged, it can be known from the actual situation of the device that if the distance from the charging area a is greater than or equal to 10 cm, the efficiency influence caused by the electric field interference is that the charging speed is reduced by less than 5%, the distance may be considered to be acceptable, and the preset threshold may be set to 10 cm.
It is understood that the preset threshold is only an example, and the specific value can be set according to the experimental result and the requirement.
With reference to fig. 7, a further application scenario of the charging location prompting method according to the embodiment of the present application is shown in the figure.
In the application scenario, the charging device 3 is included, and a plurality of charging areas a-H are provided on the charging device 3. Also included is an electronic device 32, which electronic device 32 is placed in charging area a (i.e., charging area 31) and charging area B for wireless charging. Of course, the charging area a is a main charging area, and may be positioned as an operating charging area in an in-use state. The charging area C-H can be defined as an unused charging area because no other electronic devices 32 are disposed in the charging area C-H.
At this time, in order to avoid a large electric field interference with the charging area a, the first relative distance between the charging area C-H and the charging area a may be acquired.
In some embodiments, since the distance between each charging area in the product of the charging device 3 is a fixed value, the distance between the charging area a in use and other charging areas can be obtained from a preset database.
203. And determining a usable target charging area from idle charging areas with the spacing distance from each working charging area larger than a preset threshold value.
According to the spacing distance and the design data of the charging equipment, whether large electric field interference possibly exists between the working charging area and the idle charging area can be judged.
In some embodiments, if there are a plurality of working charging regions, the distance between the idle charging region and each working charging region needs to be greater than a predetermined value.
Referring to fig. 7, in the application scenario, the idle charging areas are charging areas C-H, and the working charging area is charging area A, B.
If the distance between the charging area C and the charging area A is 5 cm, the distance between the charging area C and the charging area B is 10 cm; the charging area E is spaced 10 cm from the charging area a and 15 cm from the charging area B.
If the preset threshold of the separation distance is set to 10 cm, the charging area C may be interfered by the electric field of the charging area a because the separation distance between the charging area C and the charging area a is less than 10 cm, and the charging area E and the charging area A, B may be set as the target charging area 33 if the separation distance between the charging area E and the charging area A, B is greater than or equal to 10 cm.
Therefore, the charging efficiency of the charging equipment can be further improved by determining the spacing distance between each idle charging area and each working charging area and determining the charging area with smaller electric field interference from the plurality of idle charging areas as the target charging area according to the spacing distance, so that the problem of reduction of the charging efficiency due to the electric field interference is avoided.
In some embodiments, the determining a usable target charging area from idle charging areas having a separation distance greater than a preset threshold from each of the working charging areas may include:
acquiring the use frequency of idle charging areas, wherein the spacing distance between each idle charging area and each working charging area is greater than a preset threshold value; and taking the idle charging area with lower use frequency as a target charging area.
Wherein the usage frequency is related to usage time of the charging area per unit time. For example, the time for which the charging area a has been used in the past 1 week is 3 hours.
Of course, the frequency of use may also be the number of uses of a certain charging area per unit time. For example, the number of times the charging area a has been used in the past 1 week is 3.
In some embodiments, the usage frequency of the charging area may be obtained from a usage log obtained by recording each time the charging area is used, and the usage frequency of the charging area may be obtained by other means.
The charging area can be known whether to be frequently used or frequently idle according to the use frequency of the charging area, and the charging area with lower use frequency can be used as the target charging area.
TABLE 1
| Region(s) | Charging area C | Charging area D | Charging area E | Charging region F |
| Time (times/week) | 7 | 5 | 3 | 4 |
Table 1 shows data of the frequency of use of the charging area provided in the embodiment of the present application.
As can be seen from table 1, if the charging areas C-F are all idle charging areas, the frequency of use of the charging area C is 7 times, the frequency of use is the highest among the 4 charging areas, and the frequency of use of the charging area E is 3 times, the frequency of use is the lowest among the 4 charging areas.
In the wireless charging process, the transmitting coil can generate large heat when working for a long time, so that the service life of the transmitting coil can be influenced by overhigh use frequency, the situation that a user uses the charging area C with high use frequency can be avoided, the charging area E with low use frequency is selected as a target charging area, and the user is guided to place the electronic equipment in the charging area E for wireless charging.
As can be seen from the above, in the embodiment of the present application, the charging area with the lower use frequency is used by guiding the user, so that the use strength between the charging areas of the charging device can be balanced, and the service life of the charging device is prolonged as much as possible on the premise of ensuring that the electric field interference is small in the charging process.
In some embodiments, in order to facilitate the use of the user, a corresponding information prompting unit may be provided on each charging area.
Referring to fig. 8, a further application scenario of the charging location prompting method according to the embodiment of the present application is shown in the drawing.
As shown in fig. 8, the charging apparatus includes a plurality of charging areas including charging areas a to H, wherein each of the charging areas is provided with an information presentation unit 34.
In some embodiments, the sending an information prompting request to the information prompting unit 34, and displaying the prompting information corresponding to the information prompting request through the information prompting unit 34 may include:
an information presentation request is sent to the information presentation unit 34 provided on the target charging area 33.
Specifically, if the target charging area 33 is determined to be E before the electronic device is charged, after the target charging area 33E is determined, an information prompting request may be sent to the information prompting unit 34 on the charging area E.
In some embodiments, if the information prompting unit 34 is an indicator light, the indicator light may be turned on, so that a user can know that the electronic device can be placed on the charging area E where the indicator light is located for wireless charging through the turned-on indicator light, and thus, a prompting effect is more intuitive.
In other embodiments, if the information prompting unit 34 is an electrochromic module, the displaying the prompting information corresponding to the information prompting request by the information prompting unit 34 includes:
determining color data representing a usable state when an information prompt request is received; and providing a voltage corresponding to the color data for the electrochromic module so that the electrochromic module displays the color corresponding to the color data.
Specifically, the electrochromic display can display different colors according to different states, so that a prompt effect is achieved by displaying corresponding colors.
For example, the initial color of the electrochromic may be set to white and when a cue is desired, the cue color may be set to red. When it is determined that the target charging area 33 is the charging area E, color data, such as red color data, may be acquired, and then a voltage for changing color is applied to the charging area E through the color data, so that the electrochromic module of the charging area E is changed into red, and a user may know that the electronic device may be placed on the charging area E for wireless charging through the electrochromic module displaying red color.
Of course, the shape and the display effect of the information prompting unit 34 can be set according to actual conditions, so that the prompting effect of the information prompting unit 34 is better, intuitive and convenient.

The charging request can be triggered by the operation of a user, or can be automatically triggered when a condition is met.
In some embodiments, when the charging request is triggered by the user, the user may send the charging request to the communication module of the charging device through the electronic device, or the charging request may be generated by triggering a control key on the charging device. Alternatively, when the charging request is automatically triggered by the charging device meeting the condition, it may be detected that the electronic device is connected to the charging device through a communication module of the charging device, or that the electronic device is close to the charging device to a certain distance.
It will be appreciated that the specific acquisition or trigger conditions of the charging request may be determined according to the actual circumstances.
In some embodiments, determining the operating charging region currently in use and the unused idle charging region when a charging request is received may include:
according to the charging request, the using states of the plurality of charging areas are obtained, wherein the using states comprise a using state and an unused state, and the charging area in the using state is used as a working charging area, and the charging area in the unused state is used as an idle charging area.
