In view of the lack of wireless charging management schemes in the prior art, especially the blank of a complete wireless charging management scheme in the emerging technical field of air-spaced charging, the embodiment of the present application provides a corresponding management system and a management method to solve the problems in the prior art.

As shown in fig. 1A, a schematic diagram of an application scenario in an embodiment of the present application is shown.

Fig. 1A shows a millimeter wave wireless charging management system, which includes a server 101, a communication terminal 102, and a millimeter wave device 103.

The server 101 and the communication terminal 102 may be communicatively connected through a network 104. In some embodiments, the network 104 may include a wireless network for access by the communication terminal 102, which may be a wide area network, such as a public mobile cellular network; and may also include local area networks, such as those based on bluetooth, WiFi, etc. communication protocols for data transmission. The network 104 may include a combination of a wide area network and a local area network 104, such as a combination of a wired network and a wireless network, for example, the communication terminal 102 is connected to a gateway device of a wireless local area network in a wireless manner, and is connected to the server 101 through an optical fiber network by the gateway device.

And, the server 101 may be communicatively connected to the millimeter wave device 103 to control the millimeter wave device 103 to transmit a millimeter wave signal for charging. The communication connection may be a wired or wireless direct connection, or a connection of a wired or wireless network 104. In some embodiments, the server 101 may be implemented by a server or a server group, or may be implemented by a distributed processing system formed by a plurality of network nodes.

In some embodiments, the communication terminal 102 accesses the network 104 by wireless communication. In a specific example, the communication terminal 102 may be implemented as a smart phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, or the like.

In some embodiments, millimeter-wave device 103 may transmit millimeter-wave signals. The millimeter wave refers to an electromagnetic wave between microwave and light wave, generally, the millimeter wave frequency band refers to 30 GHz-300 GHz, and the corresponding wavelength is 1 mm-10 mm, however, in the 5G communication field, the definition of the 5G millimeter wave signal is different, and is defined between 24 GHz-86 GHz. Therefore, in some embodiments, the millimeter wave signal applied by the millimeter wave device may be used for both data transmission and energy transmission of a 5G wireless network, and optionally, the frequency Band of the millimeter wave signal may be a 5G Industrial Scientific Medical (ISM) Band, that is, 24GHz to 24.25 GHz; alternatively, 24.25-27.5GHz for international mobile communications; it is of course also possible to use frequencies in higher frequency bands depending on the actual situation.

In the embodiment of fig. 1A, millimeter wave device 103 may be a millimeter wave charging device dedicated for charging, and communication terminal 102 may be a device to be charged. The communication terminal 102 may interact with the server 101, identify the user identity of the communication terminal 102 through wireless network authentication, and further locate the location of the communication terminal 102, so as to directionally transmit a signal to the location through the millimeter wave device 103 for charging the communication terminal 102, and further charge the charging time or the charging amount.

In a specific example, for example, when a mobile phone of a user is in power shortage, a service end is accessed through a mobile phone APP, an applet or a browser through a wireless network, and charging is selected after login is passed; and the server determines the position of the mobile phone of the user, and controls the millimeter wave equipment responsible for charging the region to directionally send a millimeter wave signal to the position so as to charge the mobile phone.

As shown in fig. 1B, a schematic diagram of an application scenario in another embodiment of the present application is shown.

The difference between the embodiment of fig. 1B compared to the embodiment of fig. 1A is mainly that the communication terminal 102 and the device to be charged 105 may be different. The device to be charged 105 may be other devices carried by the user, such as a mobile phone, a tablet computer, smart glasses, and a bracelet carried by the user; or may be a device that needs to be charged by another user who is in the same line as the user.

In a specific example, for example, a first user a and a second user B who are associated with each other, a tablet computer of the user a and a smart watch of the user B lack power, the user a accesses a server through a mobile phone APP, an applet or a browser via a wireless network, and after the user a logs in through authentication, charging is selected; the server side controls millimeter wave equipment responsible for charging in the area to directionally send millimeter wave signals to the position by positioning the position of the mobile phone of the user A (namely the position of the tablet computer of the user A and the position of the intelligent watch of the user B), so that the tablet computer of the user A and the intelligent watch of the user B can be charged.

As shown in fig. 1C, a schematic diagram of an application scenario in yet another embodiment of the present application is shown.

Fig. 1C is exemplarily based on fig. 1A, and the difference of the embodiment of fig. 1C compared to the embodiment of fig. 1A is mainly that, since the millimeter wave has high power and is already available for 5G communication, the millimeter wave device 103C may be a base station or the like that transceives 5G millimeter wave signals. The base station transmits millimeter wave signals, and the millimeter wave signals can be used for data transmission of communication and charging.

In a specific example, for example, when a mobile phone of a user is in power shortage, a service end is accessed through a mobile phone APP, an applet or a browser through a wireless network, and charging is selected after login is passed; the server side controls the base station in the corresponding area to directionally send millimeter wave signals to the position by positioning the position of the mobile phone of the user so as to charge the mobile phone.

It should be noted that in the embodiments such as fig. 1A and 1B, the millimeter wave device may not be a base station, i.e., data transmission capability of wireless communication is not required to be integrated in the millimeter wave device, and the wireless network may be of various types. For example, the wireless network accessed by the communication terminal may include a 3G/4G network or a WiFi network for communication, and can implement the identity authentication and other operations; the millimeter wave device may be implemented as a millimeter wave charging device that transmits millimeter wave signals for energy transfer for charging.

It is understood that the implementations in fig. 1A, fig. 1B, and fig. 1C may be used in combination, for example, in combination with the implementation in fig. 1B, a base station is used as a millimeter wave device in fig. 1C, and is used for both charging a device to be charged and interacting with a communication terminal, and therefore, the implementation of the above-mentioned single example is not limited.

As shown in fig. 2, a communication flow diagram of millimeter wave wireless charging management in the embodiment of the present application is shown.

The process comprises the following steps:

in step S201, the communication terminal of the user transmits a wireless charging request to the server.

In step S202, in response to the wireless charging request, the service end authenticates the user.

In some embodiments, the server may include an authentication system for performing authentication and authorization on the user's information. The authentication may be implemented in various ways, as exemplified below.

In an example, a short message authentication method may be adopted. For example, a user accesses a network such as a public mobile cellular network through a communication terminal, sends a short message based on a specific short message template (such as a related template of a wireless charging request, for example, "i want to charge") to a server through the cellular mobile network, the server can send a verification code to the communication terminal through the cellular mobile network, and requests the communication terminal to provide the verification code for verification, and the verification is passed when a matching verification code provided by the communication terminal is received. Optionally, the validity period and length of the verification code can also be set.

In yet another example, the authentication of the account number may be accessed or synchronized by a trusted third party software. For example, a user may log in to trusted social platform software and pay attention to the public number, thereby connecting to a server through the public number for authentication. For another example, the authentication may be accomplished by trustfully synchronizing the account number, wherein the synchronized account number may be implemented based on the access protocols LDAP (light Directory access port), Active Directory (i.e. AD, which is an implementation of the LDAP protocol by microsoft).

In yet another example, the authentication may be by way of user information. For example, the user information may be an input user name and password for comparison authentication.

In yet another example, the authentication may be by way of a second non-perceptual authentication approach. This method may also be called "secondary imperceptible authentication", that is, after the primary authentication is passed, the information of the primary authentication may be recorded in the server, so as to pass when the information is checked in the next re-authentication.

In another embodiment, the user can also complete authentication by scanning the code by himself or by assisting with scanning the code by others. The code may be a two-dimensional code, which contains a network link. The principal can access an authentication page of the server through code scanning to authenticate. Or, the code scanning assisting manner is that the user can contact another person who has passed the authentication to assist in scanning the two-dimensional code (for example, forwarding a link or an image of the two-dimensional code to a terminal of another person), so as to pass the authentication after the authorization of another person. This approach facilitates tracing back to the user and assisting the authenticator.

For example, after passing authentication in any other method, the authentication may be performed without feeling when the authentication is performed again. In addition, the server side can be provided with multiple authentication modes at the same time so as to facilitate authentication login of various users. For example, the user 1 authenticates the login server through a user account and a password, the user 2 authenticates the login through a synchronous account, and the user 3 authenticates the login server through a short message.

When the user authentication passes, the following step S203 may be performed; if the authentication is not passed, the user request may be denied.

Since the users may be located in different scenarios in practical examples, and the wireless networks accessed by the communication terminals in the different scenarios by the users may be the same or different, the service end may authenticate the communication terminals respectively through the different wireless networks accessed by the communication terminals. For example, in the outdoors, the communication terminal and the service end of the user can perform data interaction through communication with the public mobile cellular network to realize authentication. Specifically, as shown in fig. 3A, a service end 301 accesses an outdoor public mobile cellular network through a gateway device 302 of the network where the service end is located, and interacts with a communication terminal 304 of a user through a first base station 303 in the public mobile cellular network. Of course, the server may interact with the communication terminal of the user through the first base station of the public mobile cellular network installed indoors. Alternatively, as shown in fig. 3B, if a wireless local area network is built indoors, the server 301 is coupled to the wireless local area network through a gateway of the network where the wireless local area network is located, a second base station 303B (e.g., a bluetooth, WiFi, or other type base station) in the wireless local area network is communicatively connected to the communication terminal 303, and the server 301 authenticates the user through the communication link.

In step S203, if the identity authentication is passed, the server determines the location of the communication terminal.

Specifically, if millimeter wave signals are transmitted in a broadcast manner, the power of the millimeter wave device may be enormous, but the gain obtained is small, resulting in a huge waste of energy. Therefore, in the embodiment of the application, after the user authentication needing charging passes, the position of the user is located, and then the millimeter wave signal is sent directionally to meet the charging requirement of the user.

The positioning may be performed over different networks, corresponding to different situations in which the user may be indoors or outdoors in the above examples.

For example, in an outdoor scenario, the communication terminal of the user may connect to the first base station of the public mobile cellular network, and the server may calculate the location of the communication terminal based on wireless signals between the first base station of the public mobile cellular network and the communication terminal (such as wireless signals between 2-3 first base stations and the communication terminal) and through a preset positioning algorithm based on parameters of the wireless signals. Specifically, the parameter may be an angle, time, intensity, and the like of the signal; the preset positioning algorithm may be any one of Angle of arrival (AOA), Time of arrival (TOA), Time Difference of arrival (TDOA), Radio Signal Strength (RSS) positioning, and the like. Since the millimeter wave signals need to be directionally transmitted by accurately positioning the user position, in practical application, a preset positioning algorithm with the highest positioning accuracy can be selected from the millimeter wave signals.

Specifically, both the time-of-arrival positioning method and the time-difference-of-arrival positioning method are positioning methods based on the propagation time of the radio wave. Positioning may be assisted by three base stations whose locations are known. The TOA is a time of arrival (TOA) that can calculate the distances from the communication terminal to the three base stations after obtaining 3 times of arrival, and then the location information is obtained by solving the geometrical knowledge according to the geometrical figure (the same electromagnetic wave propagation speed, the time proportional relation and the distance proportional relation are the same) formed by the communication terminal and the three base stations. The TDOA does not solve the distance immediately, but calculates the time difference, and then establishes an equation set through a mathematical algorithm and solves the equation set, thereby obtaining the position information.

The RSS positioning method is to realize positioning according to the strength of the received signal. In the positioning process, the communication terminal measures the signal strength of three different reference points (which may be base stations in this embodiment), and calculates three distance values according to the physics model, so that a geometric solving method similar to the TOA is adopted, and the positioning point can be obtained.

AOA (angle of arrival) is an angle of arrival location method. The method is a two-base-station positioning method, and positioning is carried out based on the incident angle of signals.

If the user is located indoors, the second base station of the indoor wireless local area network can communicate with a positioning tag or a communication terminal carried by the user and calculate the position of the communication terminal through a preset positioning algorithm of the propagation time or angle of a wireless signal. In particular, the positioning tag may be a bluetooth/UWB tag or the like, although referred to as a "tag", the bluetooth/UWB tag may actually contain an active communication circuit and a corresponding antenna. Similar to the outdoor positioning principle, the positioning tag and the position of the communication terminal may also be located by performing calculation based on parameters (such as angle, strength, arrival time, etc.) of wireless signals between the tag and the corresponding base station, or by using similar positioning algorithms, such as any one of TDOA, TOA, AOA, RSS positioning, etc. The tag may be mounted in a user worn device to be worn by a user, such as a bracelet, watch, or the like. Alternatively, if the communication terminal has a communication circuit such as bluetooth or UWB, or a first base station of a public mobile cellular network is also provided indoors, the communication terminal may directly wirelessly communicate with the communication terminal, and calculate the location of the communication terminal by using any one of TDOA, TOA, AOA, RSS positioning methods, and the like.

In step S204, the server directionally transmits a millimeter wave signal to the location through the millimeter wave device for charging.

In some embodiments, the server may manage multiple millimeter wave devices in different areas, where IDs corresponding to the millimeter wave devices may be pre-associated with location information of areas where the millimeter wave devices are located, and a signal coverage of the millimeter wave devices may also be pre-known, so that the server may query the millimeter wave devices whose signal coverage can reach the location where the communication terminal is located, and further send a charging control instruction including information of the location where the communication terminal is located, so that the millimeter wave devices correspondingly execute transmission of millimeter wave signals.

In step S205, the server calculates a corresponding fee according to the charging time or the charging amount.

In some embodiments, the charging time or amount of charge is determined by the acts of charging start and charging end. The actions of the charging start and the charging end may be determined according to a feedback signal of the emitted millimeter wave signal. For example, the handshake action is completed before accepting charging; or the communication terminal feeds back a signal for indicating that the charging is received; or, the millimeter wave signal is a specific frequency, and whether charging is accepted or not is judged by receiving a return signal of the millimeter wave signal of the specific frequency and according to energy change of the return signal.

Further, the service end can collect the fee from the user communication terminal through internet bank or a third party payment platform.

In the embodiment of fig. 1C, since the millimeter wave device may be, for example, a 5G base station, the transmitted millimeter wave signal may be charged and may also be communicated. Accordingly, many variations may be made in practical applications.

In some examples, the millimeter wave device generates millimeter wave signals of different frequencies for charging or communication, respectively, and the communication terminal performs corresponding charging or transmission data extraction according to the difference in frequency of the received millimeter wave signals. For example, if the millimeter wave device transmits a millimeter wave signal of a frequency a for charging and a millimeter wave signal of a frequency B for data transmission, the device to be charged (e.g., a communication terminal) has a 5G wireless communication circuit corresponding to a communication protocol, so that the operations of charging and data extraction for transmission can be respectively completed by respectively recognizing the millimeter wave signals of the frequency a and the frequency B. Optionally, the modes of the millimeter wave signals respectively identifying the two frequencies may be set by a user as function options; and/or the communication terminal may perform this identification and processing in the background silently without having to ask the user.

In still other examples, the millimeter wave generation means is used for both charging and communication by a millimeter wave signal of the same frequency; and the equipment to be charged performs transmission data extraction and electric energy conversion on the received millimeter wave signals. For example, taking a communication terminal of a user as an apparatus to be charged as an example, the communication terminal includes a 5G wireless communication circuit for extracting transmission data, and may have an energy conversion circuit for converting electromagnetic waves of 5G millimeter wave signals into electric energy.

As shown in fig. 4, a millimeter wave wireless charging management apparatus in the embodiment of the present application is shown, and is applied to a server in the foregoing embodiment.
