Detailed Description

In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure more clear, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It is to be understood that the described embodiments are only a few embodiments of the present disclosure, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the described embodiments of the disclosure without any inventive step, are also within the scope of protection of the disclosure.

Unless otherwise defined, all terms (including technical and scientific terms) used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which the presently disclosed subject matter belongs. It will be further understood that terms, such as those defined in commonly used dictionaries, should be interpreted as having a meaning that is consistent with their meaning in the context of the specification and the relevant art and will not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal sense unless expressly so defined herein. As used herein, the statement that two or more parts are "connected" or "coupled" together shall mean that the parts are joined together either directly or joined through one or more intermediate components. In addition, terms such as "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish one element (or a portion of an element) from another element (or another portion of an element).

Spatially relative terms, such as "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "top," "bottom," and the like, may be used herein for ease of description to describe one element or element's spatial relationship to another element or element as illustrated in the figures. For example, the terms "on … …," "over … …," "over … …," "on … …, over," "above," "positioned on … …," or "positioned on top of … …," etc., mean that a first element, such as a first structure, is present on a second element, such as a second structure, where intermediate elements may or may not be present between the first element and the second element. The term "contact" means connecting a first element, such as a first structure, and a second element, such as a second structure, with or without the other element at the interface of the two elements. It will be understood that the spatially relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation depicted in the figures. For example, if a device in the figures is turned over, devices described as "above" or "on" other devices or configurations would then be oriented "below" or "under" the other devices or configurations. Thus, the exemplary term "above … …" can include both an orientation of "above … …" and "below … …". The device may also be oriented 90 degrees or at other orientations and the spatially relative descriptors used herein interpreted accordingly.

As described above, a plurality of electronic products may have modules with similar functions, but they cannot share modules with each other, which objectively causes overlapping waste of high-value modules such as main control, display screen, key control, power supply, and the like.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide an electronic product capable of replacing an electronic component. An electronic product according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may replace a plurality of conventional electronic products. The electronic product avoids overlapping waste of resources by sharing one or more modules that a plurality of conventional electronic products can commonly use. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the electronic product may include: the electronic device comprises a plurality of electronic components, a device which can be adapted to the electronic components, and a plurality of switching modules which are respectively adapted to the electronic components. One or more modules of a plurality of conventional electronic products whose functions overlap may be included in the above-described apparatus, and the other modules may be included in a corresponding plurality of electronic components. By combining the plurality of electronic components with the device, respectively, the functions of a plurality of conventional electronic products can be realized. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the plurality of electronic components may have different functional modules. The functional module is, for example, a module for realizing a target function in a conventional electronic product. For example, the functional modules in the gas monitoring device include gas sensors, and the functional modules in the smart lighting lamp include light emitting elements. The functionality of the gas monitoring device may be achieved by combining an electronic assembly comprising a gas sensor with means for adapting the plurality of electronic assemblies. The function of the intelligent lighting lamp can be realized by combining an electronic component including a light emitting element with a device adaptable to a plurality of electronic components.

In some cases, the types or locations of the interfaces of the plurality of electronic components may be different from each other, and thus are not conveniently combined directly with the same device. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, a plurality of patching modules respectively adapted with the plurality of electronic components are employed to respectively couple the plurality of electronic components to the apparatus. In one example, the same patching module can accommodate one or more of the plurality of electronic components.

In actual use, a user may select a target electronic component among the plurality of electronic components as desired, couple the target electronic component to a patching module adapted thereto (may be referred to as a "target patching module" in the context), and couple the target electronic component to a device adaptable to the plurality of electronic components via the target patching module to implement a target function. When a new function is expected to be realized, the target electronic component and the target switching module in the electronic product are replaced to enable the electronic product to realize the expected function.

Fig. 1 illustrates an exemplary block diagram of an electronic product 100 that may replace electronic components in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. In the example of fig. 1, the plurality of electronic components and the plurality of patching modules are not shown, but only the target electronic component 130 of the plurality of electronic components and the target patching module 120 of the plurality of patching modules are shown. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the target electronic component 130 may represent any one of a plurality of electronic components. The target patching module 120 may represent a patching module that is adapted with the any one electronic component.

As shown in fig. 1, the target electronic component 130 is coupled to the target transit module 120. The target transition module 120 is coupled to the device 110 that can accommodate a plurality of electronic components. Since the apparatus 110 is adaptable to a plurality of electronic components, the apparatus 110 needs to operate according to the electronic components to which it is coupled. In the case where the device 110 is coupled to different electronic components, the operations it needs to perform are different. For example, where the target electronic component 130 includes a gas sensor, the device 110 needs to receive data collected by the gas sensor from the target electronic component 130. In the case where the target electronic component 130 includes a light emitting element, the apparatus 110 needs to transmit a signal to the target electronic component 130 to control the light emitting element to emit light.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the apparatus 110 may include a control module 111 (alternatively referred to as a master control module) for controlling the apparatus 110 to operate according to the electronic components coupled thereto. The control module 111 may be, for example, a Micro Control Unit (MCU), a real-time operating system (RTOS) platform, an intelligent operating system hardware platform, or the like. The control module 111 can be coupled to the target electronic component 130 via the target-transfer module 120. The control module 111 may be configured to: in the case where the control module 111 is coupled to the target electronic component 130 via the target transit module 120, the configuration information of the target electronic component 130 is acquired by means of the target transit module 120, an object code file that fits the target electronic component 130 is determined according to the acquired configuration information, and the target electronic component is controlled to operate by executing the object code file. Herein, the "object code file adapted to the target electronic component" refers to a code file developed or designed for the target electronic component.

Although other modules included with the apparatus 110 are not shown in the example of fig. 1, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the apparatus 110 may also include other necessary modules needed for operation.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the acquired configuration information may include identification information of the target electronic component 130. The object code file of the adapted target electronic component 130 also includes the identification information. Accordingly, an object code file that fits the target electronic component 130 may be determined from the acquired identification information.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the obtained configuration information may also include a communication standard or protocol of the target electronic component 130, the number of interfaces, the location of the interfaces, power supply information (power supply protocol, power supply parameters, etc.), clock frequency, and other parameters that need to be known to work with the target electronic component 130.

As described above, the control module 111 acquires the configuration information of the target electronic component 130 by means of the target transit module 120. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the target transition module 120 may include a control unit (not shown). The control unit may be configured to: determines configuration information for the target electronic component 130 and sends the configuration information to the control module 111 of the device 110.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the target transit module 120 may further include: at least one first input/output interface for coupling to a target electronic component 130, and a plurality of second input/output interfaces for coupling to the apparatus 110. Each input/output interface may be configured as an input interface or an output interface as desired. Although only one interface (one line) for connecting the target patching module 120 and the target electronic component 130 is shown in fig. 1, the line is merely illustrative and does not limit the number of interfaces between the target patching module 120 and the target electronic component 130. Similarly, although only one interface (a line) for connecting the target patching module 120 with the device 110 is shown in fig. 1, the line is merely illustrative and does not limit the number of interfaces between the target patching module 120 and the device 110.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the device 110 may include a plurality of general purpose input output interfaces (GPIOs). The plurality of general purpose input output interfaces may be coupled to the control module 111. The plurality of general purpose input/output interfaces may be located on the same surface of the device 110 so as to be capable of being directly coupled with the plurality of second input/output interfaces on the target adaptor module 120. The plurality of second input/output interfaces may be located on the same surface of the target pod module 120. Some of the plurality of second input/output interfaces may be used only for pass-through signals and need not be configured by the destination switching module 120. The control module 111 is further configured to configure the operating parameters of the plurality of general purpose input output interfaces according to the acquired configuration information. In one example, the number of second input/output interfaces on the target pod 120 may be equal to or less than the number of general purpose input/output interfaces included with the apparatus 110. Because the apparatus 110 may be adapted to a plurality of electronic components, and the number of interfaces required to be used by each electronic component may be different, in some cases, a portion of the general purpose input output interface included in the apparatus 110 may not be used. The portion of the gpio interface included in the device 110 may be used as a backup interface for future use.

In one example, the control unit of the target transit module 120 may be further configured to: reading the electrical signals of the at least one first input-output interface, determining identification information of the coupled target electronic component 130 from the read electrical signals, and determining configuration information of the target electronic component 130 from the identification information. The input/output interface of the target electronic component 130 coupled to the first input/output interface of the target adaptor module 120 may be referred to as a "third input/output interface" in the context. The first input/output interface can read different electrical characteristics (e.g., voltage, current, resistance, etc.) when coupled to a third input/output interface of a different electronic component. In one example, one electrical characteristic mapping table (which may be referred to as a "first mapping table" in this context) may be established for a plurality of electronic components. The first mapping table reflects the correspondence between the read combination relationship of the electrical characteristics and the identification information of the plurality of electronic components. The identification information of the target electronic component 130 corresponding to the read combination relationship of the electrical characteristics can be looked up in the first mapping table. A second mapping table of identification information of the plurality of electronic components and configuration information thereof may be stored in the target forwarding module 120. The target transfer module 120 may look up the configuration information of the target electronic component 130 according to the identification information of the target electronic component 130 in the second mapping table.

In another example, the control unit of the target transit module 120 is further configured to: communicate with the target electronic component 130 through one or more of the at least one first input-output interface to obtain configuration information of the target electronic component 130. In this case, the target electronic component 130 may include a micro control unit. The control unit of the target patching module 120 may communicate with the micro control unit of the target electronic component 130 to obtain configuration information of the target electronic component 130. Alternatively, the target electronic component 130 may include a memory module, such as an electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM) or a flash memory (flash), etc. In which configuration information of the target electronic component 130 is stored. When the target patching module 120 is coupled with the target electronic component 130, one or more first input-output interfaces (which may be configured as input interfaces herein) may be coupled to the output interface of the storage module. In this way, the target transit module 120 may read the configuration information stored in the memory module of the target electronic component 130 through the one or more first input-output interfaces.

In the example of fig. 1, the target electronic component 130 includes a functional module 131. The functional module 131 may be coupled to the third input/output interface. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, functional modules 131 may include one or more of the following modules: the device comprises a gas monitoring module, a dust detection module, a satellite communication module, an illumination module, a wireless charging module, a steam disinfection module, an infrared sensing module, an alarm module, an inflator pump module, a tire pressure detection module, an air purification module, a dust collection module, a liquid spraying module and a screwdriver module.

Although other modules included by target electronic component 130 are not shown in the example of fig. 1, one skilled in the art will appreciate that target electronic component 130 may also include other necessary modules needed for operation.

As described above, the control module 111 determines an object code file to fit the target electronic component 130 according to the acquired configuration information. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the object code file that adapts the target electronic component 130 may be stored in a memory module of the target electronic component 130. The control module 111 may determine how to read the object code file in the storage module of the target electronic component 130 according to the acquired configuration information. In this case, the memory module of the target electronic component 130 corresponds to an external memory device of the apparatus 110. The control module 111 may execute an object code file in a storage module of the target electronic component 130 to control the operation of the target electronic component 130.

Alternatively, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, an object code file that adapts a target electronic component may be stored in a device that can adapt a plurality of electronic components. An apparatus that can accommodate a plurality of electronic components can include a memory module. An object code file that adapts the target electronic component may be stored in the memory module. Fig. 2 shows an exemplary block diagram of an electronic product 200 having the above arrangement. In the example of fig. 2, the apparatus 210, which may adapt a plurality of electronic components, includes a control module 211 and a storage module 212. The memory module 212 is coupled to the control module 211. The storage module 212 stores at least one code file therein. Each of the at least one code file is adapted to a respective electronic component of the plurality of electronic components.

The target transition module 220 may transfer power received from the power module 232 to the device 210 to which it is coupled. Thus, in the example of fig. 2, the target-pod module 220 and the apparatus 210 that can accommodate multiple electronic components may not be provided with a power module. However, one skilled in the art will appreciate that one or both of the target pod module 220 and the device 210 may be provided with a power module, regardless of whether the target electronic component 230 includes the power module 232. In the case where the target electronic component 230 does not include the power module 232, at least one of the target switching module 220 and the device 210 needs to be provided with the power module.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, in a case that the target electronic component 230 is not coupled to the target transit module 220 and the device 210, the power supply module 232 may not provide external power, so as to avoid a security accident caused by a mis-connection of a reserved power supply interface of the target electronic component 230.

In one example, the storage module 312 has stored therein a first code file that adapts the first electronic component and a second code file that adapts the second electronic component. In the case where the configuration information acquired by the control module 311 indicates that the target electronic component is the third electronic component, the control module 311 may acquire a third code file adapted to the third electronic component from an external storage device through the communication module 313 and store the third code file in the storage module 312. In the case where the storage space of the storage module 312 is insufficient to store the first, second, and third code files at the same time, the third code file may be stored in a storage area of the first or second code file to replace the first or second code file.

The power module 414 in the device 410 may provide power to the target electronic component 430 via the target pod module 420 under the control of the control module 411. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the configuration information acquired by the control module 411 includes power supply information of the target electronic component. The control module 411 is further configured to: and controlling the power supply module 414 to supply power to the target electronic component 430 via the target switching module 420 according to the power supply information. In one example, the control module 411 may determine parameters for providing power to the target electronic component 430, such as a power supply protocol (SPI, I2C, PD, etc. protocols), a rated voltage value, a rated current value, and the like, according to the acquired power supply information. In the context of the present disclosure, in an operation performed "via a target pod", the target pod passes only commands, instructions or signals through that are not controlled or processed by the target pod.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, although not shown, the power module 414 may include an energy storage unit, a charging circuit, and a discharging circuit.

The control module 511 may configure the functions of the respective keys in the key module according to the acquired configuration information.

As an alternative to the example of fig. 5, the apparatus that can adapt the plurality of electronic components may not include a display module and/or a keying module. Alternatively, the target electronic component may include a display module and/or a keying module. The control module of the apparatus adaptable to the plurality of electronic components controls the display of the display module of the target electronic component and/or receives a key input from the key module of the target electronic component via the target relay module.

Fig. 6 illustrates an exemplary perspective view of an electronic product in a free state (which may also be referred to as a "disassembled state" or an "unassembled state") that can replace electronic components according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. In the example of fig. 6, the apparatus 610 adaptable to a plurality of electronic components may have, for example, a rectangular parallelepiped shape. A button 6101, an indicator 6102, a display 6103, and the like may be disposed on the upper surface of the device 610. A right surface (which may be referred to as a first surface in this context) suf1 of the device 610 may have disposed thereon a first stop (e.g., a slot) 618, a plurality of gpio interfaces 619, a post 61a, a first recess 617_1, and a second recess 617_ 2. Post 61a may be centered on first surface suf 1. The plurality of gpio interfaces may be annularly arranged about a center of the first surface suf 1. A battery 6104 may be disposed inside the device 610. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in fig. 7, the left and right surfaces of the device 610 may be integral with the lower surface of the device 610, and the front and back surfaces of the device 610 may be integral with the upper surface of the device 610. A battery 6104 is disposed below the upper surface. In other embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in fig. 8, the left and right surfaces of the device 610 may be integral with the upper surface of the device 610, and the front and back surfaces of the device 610 may be integral with the lower surface of the device 610. The battery 6104 is arranged over the lower surface.

In the example of fig. 6, a second stopper (e.g., a snap) 628, a plurality of second input/output interfaces 629, a circular groove 62a, a first bump 627_1 and a second bump 627_2 are disposed on a left surface (which may be referred to as a second surface in the context) suf2 of the target adapter module 620. The circular groove 62a may be located at the center of the second surface suf 2. The plurality of second input/output interfaces 629 may be annularly arranged around the center of the second surface suf 2. The arrangement of the second surface suf2 of the target transition module 620 matches the arrangement of the first surface suf1 of the device 610 so that the second surface suf2 and the first surface suf1 can mate. At least one first input/output interface (not shown) is disposed on a right surface (which may be referred to as a third surface in this context) suf3 of the target patching module 620.

At least one third input/output interface 639 may be disposed on a left surface (which may be referred to as a fourth surface in this context) suf4 of the target electronic component 630. The at least one third input/output interface 639 is arranged in the same manner as the at least one first input/output interface.

Fig. 9 illustrates an exemplary split-architecture diagram of a target patching module, according to embodiments of the present disclosure. The target patching module can include a first cover 901, a second cover 903, and an intermediary 902. The first cover 901 and the second cover 903 may be fixed together by screws 904, and there is a gap between the first cover 901 and the second cover 903. The second stopper 628 is fixed to the front surface of the intermediate member 902 (in this context, the left side surfaces of the first cover 901, the second cover 903, and the intermediate member 902 shown in fig. 9 are referred to as "front surface"). In one example, the second limiting member 628 can be integrally formed with the middle member 902. The intermediate member 902 is disposed in a gap between the first cover 901 and the second cover 903, and the gap is large enough so that the intermediate member 902 can freely rotate, for example, around the circular groove 62 a. In one example, the middleware 902 is free to rotate 45 °. The front surface of the first cover 901 is provided with a first through hole 9011. The second limiting member 628 may pass through the first through hole 9011 to be exposed on the second surface of the target adaptor module.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the sides of the middle piece 902 (the front, rear, and upper and lower surfaces of the first cover 901, the second cover 903, and the middle piece 902 shown in fig. 9 are referred to as "sides" in this context) may be arranged with at least one grip part 9022 for rotating the middle piece 902. At least one side of the first cover 901 is provided with a gap 9012, so that the first cover 901 and the second cover 903 can jointly form at least one second through hole on the at least one side of the target patching module. The at least one catching part 9022 passes through the corresponding second through hole to be exposed on the corresponding side of the target patching module, thereby facilitating the user's operation.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the front face of the middle piece 902 may be provided with a third through hole 9021. The front surface of the second cover 903 may be provided with a boss 9031, and the boss 9031 may have a plurality of second input/output interfaces 629 disposed thereon. The protrusion 9031 may pass through the third through hole 9021 so that the plurality of second input/output interfaces 629 are exposed on the second surface of the target transit module.

The manner in which the locking and unlocking device 610 and the target patching module 620 are described below with reference to fig. 6 and 9.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, after the first surface suf1 of the device 610 is aligned with and pressed against the second surface suf2 of the target transition module 620, the latch 628 may be rotated clockwise by the at least one handle member 9022 to latch 628 with the slot 618, thereby locking the device 610 to the target transition module 620. When it is required to release the device 610 and the target adaptor module 620, the latch 628 may be rotated counterclockwise by the at least one latch member 9022 to separate (misalign) the latch 628 from the card slot 618, so that the device 610 and the target adaptor module 620 are released. Although two snaps 628 and two card slots 618 are shown in fig. 6, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that only one snap 628 and one card slot 618 may be provided.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, aligning the first surface suf1 of the device 610 with the second surface suf2 of the target-patching module 620 may be aided by aligning the post 61a of the device 610 with the circular groove 62a of the target-patching module 620. The size and location on the first surface suf1 of the post 61a matches the size and location on the second surface suf2 of the circular groove 62a to enable the post 61a to engage with the circular groove 62a when the device 610 and the target-patching module 620 are in a locked state.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the protruding pillar 61a and the circular groove 62a may serve as limiting members. The stud 61a may be made of a first magnetic material. The circular groove 62a may be made of the second magnetic material. The first magnetic material has a magnetic property opposite to that of the second magnetic material. Thus, the protrusion 61a can be magnetically coupled to the circular groove 62a, so as to lock the locking device 610 and the target adaptor module 620. In this case, in the example of fig. 6, the device 610 and the target-patching module 620 can be locked by both snap-fit and magnetic attraction. Alternatively, with the post 61a and the circular groove 62a as the stoppers, the device 610 may not be provided with the locking groove 618 and the target adaptor module 620 may not be provided with the snap 628. The device 610 and the target-transfer module 620 are thus locked only by means of magnetic attraction.

When the device 610 and the target switch module 620 are in a locked state, at least a portion of the plurality of general input/output interfaces 619 are correspondingly coupled to the plurality of second input/output interfaces 629.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the first and second recesses 617_1 and 617_2 may have different sizes. For example, the depth of the first groove 617_1 is shallower than the depth of the second groove 617_ 2. Or the width of the first groove 617_1 is narrower than the width of the second groove 617_ 2. The size of the first protrusion 627_1 may match the size of the first recess 617_ 1. The size of the second protrusion 627_2 may match the size of the second groove 617_ 2. If the first groove 617_1 is aligned with the first protrusion 627_1, the device 610 can be locked with the target patching module 620. If the first groove 617_1 is aligned with the second protrusion 627_2, the locking device 610 and the target patching module 620 cannot be locked. Here, the first recess 617_1 may be used as a first fool-proof member, and the second protrusion 627_2 may be used as a second fool-proof member. The first fool-proof piece and the second fool-proof piece may jointly limit the coupling orientation of the device 610 and the target-switching module 620, so as to prevent the general-purpose input-output interface 619 of the device 610 from being coupled to the non-corresponding second input-output interface 629.

An exemplary front view of the device 610 in a locked state with the target patching module 620 is shown in fig. 10 a. In this case, an edge of the clasping member 9022 of the target transit module 620 may be aligned with an edge of the first surface of the device 610, which facilitates the user to grasp the device 610 when in use. Fig. 10b shows an exemplary front view of the device 610 and the target-patching module 620 in a free state. In this case, the edge of the gripping part 9022 of the target transit module 620 may exceed the edge of the first surface of the device 610, facilitating the user to separate the device 610 from the target transit module 620. Although two clasp parts 9022 are shown in fig. 10a and 10b, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that only one clasp part 9022 may be provided.

In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the housing of the target electronic component 630 can receive a portion of the housing of the target patching module 620 such that the target electronic component 630 is in a locked state with the target patching module 620. Fig. 11 illustrates an exemplary oblique view of a target patching module 620 and a target electronic component 630 in a locked state, according to embodiments of the disclosure. In one example, the target-patching module 620 can be screwed to the target electronic component 630 to further lock the target electronic component 630 with the target-patching module 620.

Fig. 12 illustrates an exemplary perspective view of an electronic product in a locked state that can replace an electronic assembly according to an embodiment of the disclosure. The device 610, the target adapter module 620 and the target electronic component 630 can be assembled into a whole as a complete electronic product to achieve the desired functions.

Functional modules included in the target electronic component 630 and other necessary modules required for operation are not shown in fig. 6, 11, and 12. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that fig. 6, 11 and 12 are merely examples and do not limit the modules included in target electronic component 630. Similarly, although the device 610 is shown in fig. 6-8 and 12 as including the keys 6101, the indicator light 6102, the display 6103, and the battery 6104, etc., it will be understood by those skilled in the art that fig. 6-8 and 12 are merely examples, and a device that can accommodate multiple electronic components according to embodiments of the present disclosure may not include one or more of the keys 6101, the indicator light 6102, the display 6103, and the battery 6104.

In summary, the electronic product according to the embodiment of the disclosure can implement module reuse, thereby saving hardware resources. Moreover, the electronic assembly according to the embodiment of the disclosure can realize plug and play, is convenient and quick and is simple to operate after being combined with a device which can be adapted to a plurality of electronic assemblies through the switching module. According to the electronic product disclosed by the embodiment of the disclosure, when the functions are expanded, only the switching module and the matched electronic component need to be replaced, and the expandability is strong. In addition, the electronic product according to the embodiment of the disclosure supports the update of the code file, so that the later version upgrade and maintenance are facilitated.
