Description
Technical Field
The invention mainly relates to a battery testing method, in particular to a battery testing method and device for an electronic price tag.
Background
Electronic price tags, also called Electronic Shelf Labels (ESL), are Electronic display devices with information transceiving functions, replace the Electronic display devices of traditional paper price tags, and realize the price consistency between the cashier desk and the Shelf through various wireless transmission technologies such as Bluetooth, infrared ray, WIFI. The electronic price tag generally comprises a Micro Control Unit (MCU), a communication module, a display screen and other auxiliary devices, and is connected to a dedicated Access Point (AP) of a data Access Point through the communication module, and display data of the electronic price tag is acquired through the dedicated AP, so as to display and update data of the electronic price tag.
The electronic price tag needs to be placed in a distributed mode, manual replacement is involved after the service life of the battery is over, and the use cost of the electronic price tag is limited, so that evaluation of the service life of the battery of the electronic price tag is an important consideration factor for selecting products of the electronic price tag for merchants. At present, most of electronic price tags use a traditional battery life testing method, including battery discharge testing and power consumption sampling model to estimate the battery life.
The battery discharge test converts the battery capacity according to the original voltage of the battery, and checks whether the battery capacity meets the technical indexes after discharge to obtain the effective battery capacity. However, the electronic price tag is in a working state for a small part of time, is in a standby state for most of time, and has a design life of about 3-8 years normally, so that the battery discharge test is not suitable for the battery life estimation test of the electronic price tag generally.
In the power consumption model estimation method, various operation states based on equipment are sampled, the power consumption of the operation model is collected, and the power consumption in unit time is estimated according to single power consumption, frequency and standby power consumption. The estimated battery life is obtained by dividing the effective battery capacity by the power consumption per unit time. However, the scheme can only estimate the corresponding working life according to a part of sampling results, and a large error exists in practical application, especially as the refresh times increase or the battery power decreases, the estimated result of the model often cannot be matched with the actual situation.
The existing life test technology for the mobile terminal also provides a hardware device for measuring the power consumption at a device end or an opposite end, but the environment construction is relatively complex. For the electronic price tag, an additional network Access Point (AP) is needed to trigger the test service of the electronic price tag during the test, and the hardware device cannot judge the result of actually refreshing the screen of the ink screen of the electronic shelf, and cannot effectively complete the battery performance related test for the electronic price tag.

The embodiment of the present invention as shown in fig. 1 provides a method 10 for testing battery life of an electronic price tag. FIG. 1 uses a flowchart to illustrate operations performed by a system according to embodiments of the present application. It should be understood that the preceding or following operations are not necessarily performed in the exact order in which they are performed. Rather, various steps may be processed in reverse order or simultaneously. Meanwhile, other operations are added to or removed from these processes.
Step S1 is the connection of the execution machine to the access point, and the electronic price tag establishes a connection with the execution machine through the access point.
In one embodiment of the invention, the access point is a Bluetooth access point, and a Dialog chip is adopted, so that the requirement of non-interference environment Bluetooth transmission with the visual range of more than 20m can be met, and the real application scene of the electronic price tag on a shop shelf can be simulated.
In step S1, the method for establishing connection includes that the bluetooth access point sends a paging message through bluetooth 4.0 standard protocol, the electronic price tag performs periodic search, when the paging message is searched, the execution machine sends registration information to the electronic price tag through the bluetooth access point, and the electronic price tag completes registration according to the registration information, so that the electronic price tag establishes connection with the execution machine.
Step S2 sends a test request to the execution engine, which may be issued to the electronic price tag through the access point.
In the embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 1, the test request comprises a refresh test request. The 'drawing' is that the electronic price tag is most common in the real working environment and is operated by power consumption. And (3) refreshing the picture, namely, the upper computer sends information with patterns and/or prices to the electronic price tag, and refreshing the screen and displaying information such as the refreshed bar codes and the like every time the picture is refreshed on the electronic price tag.
Step S3 responds to the test request for the electronic price tag to generate a test result.
When the test request in step S2 is a swipe test request, in step S3, the electronic price tag responds to the test request by refreshing the screen to display a refreshed barcode, i.e., a test result.
For example, the barcode displayed after each refresh of the screen by the electronic price tag may be a one-dimensional barcode and/or a two-dimensional code.
In an embodiment of the present invention, after the execution unit sends the test request in step S2 and before the electronic price tag responds to the test request in step S3, the method further includes a step of establishing a connection between the electronic price tag and the access point again, and the specific connection manner may refer to the method of establishing a connection between the electronic price tag and the execution unit in step S1 for the first time. For example, the paging information when the connection is first established may be changed into the information related to the test request, so that the electronic price tag completes the connection of the directional sending information established with the execution machine in response to the test request again.
Step S4 is to transmit the result confirmation message and the current battery power information to the execution machine for the electronic price tag.
When the test request in step S2 is a swipe test request, the result confirmation message includes information of the refreshed barcode in step S4. For example, the test request sent by the execution machine to the electronic price tag through the access point in step S1 may be in the form of a character string a, and the result confirmation message sent back to the execution machine by the electronic price tag in step S4 may be in the form of a character string B.
Step S5 is a determination as to whether the stop condition has been reached.
The stop condition includes that the result confirmation message in the step S4 is inconsistent with the content of the test request, i.e., the content of the character string a is inconsistent with the content of the character string B, i.e., the electronic price tag does not complete the test content according to the test request issued by the execution machine. Therefore, when the stop condition is not reached, the steps S2 to S5 are continuously and repeatedly executed, so that the electronic price tag is continuously and repeatedly responded to the test request sent by the execution machine, thereby quickly and continuously consuming the battery power of the electronic price tag, and the following steps are not repeatedly executed until the stop condition is reached.
In an embodiment of the present invention (not shown in the flowchart of fig. 1), after the above-mentioned stop condition is reached, the step S6 is directly executed to stop the test, and calculate the battery life coefficient, so as to further evaluate the service life of the battery.
Preferably, in the embodiment of the present invention as shown in fig. 1, the following steps are further included between steps S5 and S6:
step S51, the code scanning device scans the refreshed bar code and transmits the code scanning result to the execution machine;
step S52 is to determine whether the code scanning is successful.
The steps S51 and S52 are set to prevent a situation where the refresh screen fails because the battery level has just reached a threshold at which the screen cannot be successfully refreshed during the actual refresh of the screen when the electronic price tag has been activated in response to a test request from the execution engine. Therefore, even if the result confirmation message that the electronic price tag is transmitted back to the execution machine in step S5 shows that the information in the test request is consistent, steps S51 and S52 are executed again to ensure that the electronic price tag has indeed completed refreshing the screen, thereby more truly and accurately making a calculation for the battery life factor of the electronic price tag and evaluating the battery life.
For example, when the above-mentioned stop condition is reached, the battery life factor is calculated according to the current power information returned to the execution machine following the last result confirmation information in step S4. For example, when the last recorded current power amount is 15%, the electronic price tag cannot respond to the refresh test request issued by the execution machine again, and the battery life factor is determined to be 85%. The higher the battery life factor, the higher the life that the battery of the indicated electronic price tag can use under the same conditions, thus providing the merchant with an important consideration in selecting the electronic price tag battery.
For example, when the service life of the battery is calculated, the total electric quantity of the battery in the factory index is multiplied by the battery life coefficient to obtain the effective electric quantity of the battery in the application scene of the electronic price tag, and then the effective electric quantity is divided by the consumed power during the image brushing to obtain the life time of the battery.
In one embodiment of the present invention, step S5 further includes the executing machine recording the number of times the electronic price tag responds to the test request. Illustratively, the number of times that the screen may be refreshed is set to 10 ten thousand times according to the factory parameters of the battery, but the number of times that the screen may be actually refreshed may be less than 10 ten thousand times due to factors such as battery performance degradation during actual discharge. By the method, when the battery is gradually discharged from full capacity to reach the stop condition, the recorded screen refreshing time is 9.8 ten thousand, the electronic price tag can not respond to the drawing test request sent by the execution machine any more, and the battery can be evaluated to be capable of executing drawing 9.8 ten thousand times under the use mode of the electronic price tag. Thereby providing the number of times of drawing actually executed by the battery of the model to the merchant.
In another embodiment of the present invention, the service life of the battery may be evaluated by drawing a non-linear power consumption map, and further according to the actual application scenario of the merchant, for example, the service life of the battery in a specific application scenario is determined by a customized number of times, such as refreshing 4 times or 8 times per day.
In another embodiment of the present invention, before the electronic price tag responds to the test request in step S3, a feedback message confirming the receipt of the test request is transmitted to the execution machine, and if the execution machine does not receive the feedback message, it indicates that the battery power of the electronic price tag has been consumed to a state of not receiving the test request of the execution machine, so that the following step S6 can be directly executed in the flow to stop the test, and the battery life coefficient is calculated according to the above manner to evaluate the service life of the battery.
Therefore, when the condition that the battery of the electronic price tag is discharged from the full capacity to the condition that the test request can not be completed any more is obtained, the battery life coefficient can be obtained according to the battery residual capacity recorded by the execution machine for the last time, and therefore the service life of the battery of the electronic price tag is evaluated according with various application scenes according to different application scenes.
In another embodiment of the present invention (not shown), the test request in step S3 further includes a flashing light test request, the response includes flashing the indicator light, the test result includes the color of the indicator light, the number of flashing times, and the time of each flashing, and the result confirmation message includes the color of the indicator light, the number of flashing times, and the time of each flashing recorded in the execution machine in step S4.
Specifically, the test flashing light is mainly used for simulating a prompt that a consumer needs to prompt a commodity price reduction, which may be encountered when an electronic price tag is actually used, or a prompt of an indicator light for searching a specific commodity in a merchant. When the color of the indicator light changes and continuously flashes, the battery power of the electronic price tag is consumed. Therefore, the method for testing the flashing light request can test the battery life of the battery aiming at the flashing light operation when the application scene of a merchant needs the flashing light operation frequently.
It can be understood that, in the actual test, a technician can select a mode in which the drawing test request is taken as a main mode and the flashing light test request is taken as an auxiliary mode according to actual needs, so that the electronic price tag can quickly consume electric quantity mainly in a mode of refreshing a screen until the battery life coefficient is obtained, and the flashing light test is continuously repeated on the battery only when necessary, so as to adapt to application scenarios of the used electronic price tags of different merchants.
According to the embodiment of the invention, the access point performs repeated test operations of drawing and flashing aiming at the electronic price tag, so that the normal working form of the electronic price tag for several years can be completely simulated in a short time. Preferably, whether the electronic price tag successfully finishes the picture brushing or not can be judged more reliably through double monitoring of code scanning of the electronic price tag, and nodes which cannot effectively work on the electronic price tag are further accurately judged. The measurement result finally obtained by the method is the power consumption data of the real picture brushing of the electronic price tag, and the service life of the real battery in the electronic price tag working mode can be reflected.
Another aspect of the present invention further provides a device for testing battery life of an electronic price tag, as shown in fig. 2, the testing device 20 may be adapted to the method for testing battery life of an electronic price tag shown in fig. 1, so as to test and evaluate battery life of an electronic price tag more conveniently and practically and according to a real application scenario.
As shown in fig. 2, the battery test apparatus 20 for an electronic price tag includes an execution machine 21, an access point 22, an electronic price tag 23, and a code scanning device 24.
In particular, the execution engine 21 is configured to send test request messages, including a graphical test request message and a flashing light test request message, to the electronic price tag 23 via the access point 22. The access point 22 is connected to the execution machine 21 and can send messages to the electronic price tag 23 or receive messages from the electronic price tag 23 and transmit them back to the execution machine 21 according to instructions from the execution machine. Illustratively, the access point may be a bluetooth access point, connected to the execution machine via a USB connection.
The electronic price tag 23 with the tested battery can establish connection with the execution machine 21 through the access point 22, and can respond according to the test request and generate a test result, and transmit a result confirmation message and the current electric quantity information of the battery to the execution machine 21 through the access point 22, wherein the test result comprises the refreshed bar code and the color of the indicator light, the flashing times and the time of each flashing, and the result confirmation message comprises the information with the test result. When the test request is a swiping test request, the code scanning device 24 is configured to scan the refreshed bar code on the electronic price tag 23 according to the instruction of the execution machine 21, and transmit the code scanning result to the execution machine 21.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the execution machine 21 may determine whether to continue sending the test request message according to the result confirmation message and the code scanning result, and is further configured to receive the result confirmation message and the current power information, and calculate a battery life coefficient according to the current power information to evaluate the service life of the battery.
For a specific method for using the battery test apparatus 20 for electronic price tags, reference may be made to the above description of the battery test method 10 for electronic price tags shown in fig. 1, which is not repeated herein.
