In a possible design, when the main device is connected with the external device through the USB interface, if the main device is performing fast charging on the external device, the main device needs to be recognized as a standard charger by the external device, and then the fast charging is performed through a fast charging protocol. The fast charging protocol can be SCP, VOOC, QC and the like.

However, the host device cannot coexist with the fast charging function of the external device or the data communication function of the external device, and only one of them can be realized. When the user needs to change and use another function, the setting of the USB interface in the main equipment needs to be changed, and the external equipment is plugged and pulled manually to be reconnected and identified, so that the switching of the two functions is realized, and the operation is complex. For a user who cannot know the electronic device, even the user does not know that the USB interface of the main device can be set, which results in that the charging speed of the external device is slow or the data communication between the main device and the external device cannot be realized.

For ease of understanding, the arrangement of the USB interface in a possible implementation is described below in conjunction with fig. 3 and 4.

Fig. 3 is a schematic structural diagram of a USB interface in a host device in a possible implementation. As shown in FIG. 3, the USB interface includes 4 pins, A1-A4.

Pin a 1: and a power supply module in the master device is connected to enable the master device to supply power to the USB interface, that is, the master device provides VBUS for the USB interface, which is also called VBUS pin.

Pins a2, A3: the data transmission pins are also called as D + pins and D-pins and are used for transmitting audio and video streams or files and the like. Pins A2, A3 may be used for USB2.0 compatibility.

It is understood that the USB signal is a differential signal, and data transmission is performed through the D + signal line and the D-signal line. After the main equipment is connected with the external equipment through the USB interface, a D + signal is transmitted on a D + signal wire connected with a D + pin; d-signals are transmitted on a D-signal line connected with the D-pin.

Pin a 4: the ground pin is also referred to as a GND pin.

It is understood that the USB interface may include more than the 4 pins shown in fig. 3, and may also include: a pin for data reception (also referred to as RX2+ pin, RX 2-pin), and a pin for external device detection (also referred to as CC1 pin). The embodiment of the application does not limit the shape, the number of pins, the functions of the pins and the like of the USB interface.

Fig. 4 is a schematic structural diagram of a configuration circuit of a USB interface type in a host device in a possible implementation. The circuit comprises: an MCU401, an Integrated Circuit (IC) 402, a direct current/direct current converter (DC/DC converter) 403, a USB interface 404, and a data communication port 405.

The MCU401 is connected with a rapid charging protocol IC402, and the rapid charging protocol IC402 is connected with a DC/DC converter 403; the flash protocol IC402 is connected (not shown) to pins (e.g., D + pin and D-pin) for data transmission in the USB interface 404; the DC/DC converter 403 is connected to a pin (e.g., VBUS pin) for supplying power to an external device in the USB interface 404 (not shown in the figure); the data communication port 405 is connected to pins (e.g., a D + pin and a D-pin) for data transmission in the USB interface 404 (not shown).

The MCU401 is configured to control enabling (enable) or disabling (disable) of the flash protocol IC402, so as to control a type (DCP or SDP) of the USB interface 404. In a possible implementation, the MCU401 is also used to control the voltage output by the DC/DC converter 403. The MCU401 may be an Embedded Controller (EC) or other type of controller.

The rapid charging protocol IC402 is used for interacting with an external device through the USB interface 404, implementing type identification of the USB interface 404 by the external device, and implementing rapid charging identification when the type of the USB interface 404 is DCP. The fast charge protocol IC402 is also used to control the output voltage of the DC/DC converter 403 after fast charge identification.

It will be appreciated that the fast charge protocol IC402 may identify a variety of fast charge protocols including, but not limited to: SCP, VOOC, or QC.

The DC/DC converter 403 is used to output various voltages to charge an external device plugged into the USB interface 404, including but not limited to: 5 volts (V), 9V, 10V or 12V. A dc/dc converter may also be referred to as a dc-to-dc converter.

The USB interface 404 is used to connect to an external device. The USB interface 404 may transmit a charging handshake signal to the fast charging protocol IC402 to enable identification of the type of the USB interface 404. Or the USB interface 404 may transmit data communication signals to the data communication port 405 to implement data communication. It is understood that both the charging handshake signal and the data communication signal are transmitted through the data transmission pin.

The data communication port 405 is used for data communication with an external device through the USB interface 404. The data communication port 405 may be located on a System On Chip (SOC). The SOC may be a processor including one or more processing units, such as: an Application Processor (AP), a modem, a Graphics Processing Unit (GPU), an Image Signal Processor (ISP), and a controller. The different processing units may be separate devices or may be integrated into one or more processors.

The following describes a process of the USB interface in the host device for fast charging the external device and a process of data communication with the external device with reference to fig. 4.

It can be understood that the USB interface 404 is a DCP interface when the external device is rapidly charged; the USB interface 404 is an SDP interface when performing data communication with an external device.

It should be noted that, when the USB interface 404 is configured as a DCP, the flash protocol IC402 is enabled. With the USB interface 404 configured as SDP, the flash protocol IC402 is disabled.

It is understood that the disabling of the fast charge protocol IC402 may be manifested as a disconnection between the USB interface 404 and the fast charge protocol IC402, or the fast charge protocol IC402 being in a high impedance state.

In a possible implementation manner, due to the fact that an actual circuit is complex and a connection is complex, the USB interface 404 and the fast charging protocol IC402 may not be disconnected or the fast charging protocol IC402 may be in a high impedance state. Illustratively, a switch is arranged on a path between the USB interface 404 and the fast charge protocol IC402 to disconnect the USB interface 404 from the fast charge protocol IC 402. During USB communication, the path of the D + signal between the USB interface 404 and the fast charge protocol IC402 and the path of the D-signal between the USB interface 404 and the fast charge protocol IC402 are disconnected.

The DCP configuration process is as follows: the MCU401 sends a first enable signal (S1 signal) to the fast charge protocol IC402, and the S1 signal is used to enable the fast charge protocol IC 402. After the fast charge protocol IC402 receives the S1 signal, the fast charge protocol IC402 is enabled.

The SDP configuration procedure is as follows: the MCU401 sends a second enable signal (S2 signal) to the fast charge protocol IC402, and the S2 signal is used to enable the fast charge protocol IC402 to turn off. After the rapid charging protocol IC402 receives the S2 signal, the rapid charging protocol IC402 is disabled.

When an external device is plugged into the USB interface 404, the external device identifies the type of the USB interface 404. When the external device recognizes that the type of the USB interface 404 is DCP, a fast charging recognition process is started to enable the host device to confirm the fast charging protocol supported by the external device. After the external device performs the fast charging identification with the fast charging protocol IC402, the fast charging protocol IC402 sends a third enable signal (S3 signal) to the DC/DC converter 403, and the S3 signal is used to adjust the output voltage of the DC/DC converter 403. The DC/DC converter 403 changes the output voltage upon receiving the S3 signal. The output voltage of the DC/DC converter 403 changes, and the charging voltage of the external device by the USB interface 404 changes, so that the external device is quickly charged.

Or, when the external device recognizes that the USB interface 404 is an SDP, an enumeration communication procedure is started to enable the main device to enumerate and obtain device information such as the type and transmission rate of the external device. After enumeration is successful, the data communication port 405 in the master device realizes data communication (file transfer, etc.) with the external device.

Illustratively, when the external device recognizes that the USB interface 404 is an SDP, the external device pulls up a level (voltage) on a D + signal line through a pull-up resistor, triggers an enumeration process of the host device, the host device starts to enumerate and acquire device information such as the type and rate of the external device, and the host device performs data communication with the external device after loading a corresponding driver according to the device information of the external device.

In the circuit shown in fig. 4, the type of the USB interface is preset before the external device is plugged into the USB interface. The external equipment can only be identified according to the type of the preset USB interface, and the MCU cannot acquire the identification state of the external equipment in the identification process. When the user needs to use another function, the connection between the USB interface and the external device needs to be disconnected manually, and the USB interface in the main device needs to be reconfigured, so that the operation process is complicated, and the user experience is poor.

Furthermore, when the user does not know the characteristics of the USB interface of the host device, the USB interface may not be reconfigured, or even be aware that the USB interface is configurable. Therefore, the charging speed of the external equipment is low, or the external equipment cannot perform data communication with the main equipment, and the user experience is poor.

In view of this, an embodiment of the present application provides a method for configuring a USB interface, where an MCU may obtain identification information of a USB interface from a fast charging protocol IC, control a power supply voltage to an external device, and change a type of the USB interface, so as to implement type switching of the USB interface by the external device and identification of a corresponding function, and a host device prompts the corresponding function supported by the USB interface according to identification information corresponding to different types of the USB interface. Therefore, the USB interface is not required to be manually disconnected from the external equipment, the operation is simple, and the user experience is improved. And the main equipment prompts the corresponding function of the type of the USB interface, so that the user can configure the USB interface conveniently, and the user experience is improved.

The following describes a configuration circuit and a configuration method of a USB interface according to an embodiment of the present application with reference to the drawings.

Fig. 5 and fig. 6 are schematic circuit connection diagrams of the USB interface and the MCU provided in the embodiments of the present application. The circuits shown in fig. 5 and 6 are respectively suitable for different USB interfaces. Fig. 5 applies to part of the USB-a interface. Fig. 6 is applicable to the USB-C interface and part of the USB-a interface.

Exemplarily, fig. 5 is a schematic circuit connection diagram of a USB interface and an MCU provided in an embodiment of the present application. The circuit comprises: the device comprises an MCU 501, a quick charge protocol IC502, a DC/DC converter 503, a USB interface 504 and a data communication port 505.

The MCU 501 is connected with a quick charge protocol IC502, and the quick charge protocol IC502 is connected with a DC/DC converter 503; the flash protocol IC502 is connected to pins (e.g., D + pin and D-pin) for data transmission in the USB interface 504 (not shown); the DC/DC converter 503 is connected to a pin (e.g., VBUS pin) for supplying power to an external device in the USB interface 504 (not shown in the figure); the data communication port 505 is connected to pins (e.g., a D + pin and a D-pin) for data transmission in the USB interface 504 (not shown).

The MCU 501 is configured to control whether the fast charging protocol IC502 enables a short-circuit connection between a pin D + and a pin D-in the USB interface 504 through an enable signal, so as to control a type (DCP or SDP) of the USB interface 504.

Illustratively, the flash protocol IC502 shorts pin D + and pin D-in the USB interface 504, the USB interface 504 configured as an SDP; the flash protocol IC502 does not short circuit pin D + and pin D-in the USB interface 504, and the USB interface 504 is configured as a DCP.

In a possible implementation, the MCU 501 is further configured to control a voltage output by the DC/DC converter 503. The MCU 501 may be an Embedded Controller (EC) or other type of controller.

The fast charge protocol IC502 is configured to perform fast charge identification based on the D + signal and the D-signal transmitted by the USB interface 504, and control an output voltage of the DC/DC converter 503 based on a fast charge identification result. The fast charge protocol IC502 is further configured to store the fast charge identification status of the USB interface 504 and the identification status of the USB interface 504 by the external device.

It is to be appreciated that the fast charge protocol IC502 may perform fast charge identification for a variety of fast charge protocols including, but not limited to: SCP, VOOC, or QC.

It should be noted that, when the USB interface 504 is configured as a DCP, the flash protocol IC502 may also determine the identification status of the external device to the DCP based on the D + signal and the D-signal transmitted by the USB interface 504. In a possible implementation manner, the rapid charging protocol IC does not detect any one of the D + signal and the D-signal within a fixed time, and determines that the DCP identifies the abnormity. D + signals and D-signals are detected within a fixed time, and the DCP is determined to be normally identified.

The DC/DC converter 503 is used to output various voltages to charge the external device connected to the USB interface 504, including but not limited to: 5V, 9V, 10V or 12V. It can be understood that the voltage conversion unit includes: the DC/DC converter 503 is included in the voltage conversion unit. The voltage conversion unit may further include: a switch 506.

The USB interface 504 is used for connecting to an external device. The USB interface 504 may transmit a charging handshake signal to the fast charging protocol IC502 to enable identification of the type of the USB interface 504. Or the USB interface 504 may transmit data communication signals to the data communication port 505 to implement data communication. The charging handshake signal and the data communication signal both belong to a data transmission signal. And will not be described in detail herein.

The data communication port 505 is used for data communication with an external device through the USB interface 504. The data communication port 505 may be located in a SOC.

Different from fig. 4, the MCU may obtain the fast charging identification status of the USB interface from the fast charging protocol IC, and stop or continue the power supply of the USB interface to the external device through the fast charging protocol IC.

It should be noted that, when the external device identifies the type of the USB interface, the rapid charging protocol IC detects a D + signal or a D-signal of the USB interface, and determines whether the external device is identified normally.

When the rapid charging protocol IC is configured as a DCP interface by the MCU, the D +/D-can be in a short circuit state (less than 200 ohms) in a default state, and handshake communication is carried out according to the rapid charging protocol after the external equipment identifies that the USB interface is the DCP;

when the rapid charging protocol IC is configured as an SDP interface by the MCU, the rapid charging protocol IC detects a D + signal and a D-signal of the USB interface, confirms the identification state of the external equipment, and connects a data communication port with the USB interface from the outside of the rapid charging protocol IC;

in a possible implementation manner, a switch for switching the D + signal and the D-signal to the data communication port is arranged inside the rapid charging protocol IC. And the quick charging protocol IC detects the D + signal and the D-signal of the USB interface, confirms the identification state of the external equipment and outputs the D + signal and the D-signal to the data communication port through the internal signal switch.

In a possible implementation, a switch 506 is provided between the DC/DC converter 503 and the USB interface 504. The switch 506 is used to control the voltage output from the power source of the host device to the USB interface 504, and further control the power supply voltage output from the USB interface 504 to the external device. When the switch 506 is closed, the USB interface 504 supplies power to the external device; when the switch 506 is turned on, the USB interface 504 stops supplying power to the external device.

Thus, the USB interface can be controlled to stop or continue to supply power to the external device by opening and closing the switch 506.

The following describes, with reference to the circuit shown in fig. 7, a configuration process of the USB interface by the host device after the external device accesses the USB interface.

Taking the default type of the USB interface as the DCP interface as an example, in the default state, the switch is closed, and the system supplies power to the USB interface.

And S701, when the external equipment is connected to the USB interface, identifying the type of the USB interface of the main equipment.

In the embodiment of the present application, the types of the USB interface include DCP and SDP. In a possible implementation mode, when the type of the USB interface is DCP, the quick charge protocol IC controls a path of the D + signal to be in short-circuit connection with a path of the D-signal. When the type of the USB interface is SDP, the quick charge protocol IC controls the short-circuit connection between the path of the D + signal and the path of the D-signal.

Illustratively, the first port and the second port in the rapid charging protocol IC are short-circuited through a metal oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET). The first port is connected with a D + pin in the USB interface, and the second port is connected with a D-pin in the USB interface.

In the embodiment of the application, the external device can be connected to the USB interface of the main device in an inserting manner. It is to be understood that the insertion referred to herein and hereinafter is merely one manner of access and is not intended to be limiting.

In a possible implementation manner, when the external device is inserted into the USB interface and transmits a D + signal to the rapid charging protocol IC, if a charging level is detected on the D-signal line, the external device determines that the USB interface is DCP. And if the charging level is not detected on the D-signal line, the external equipment confirms that the USB interface is the SDP.

Correspondingly, when the external equipment identifies the type of the USB interface of the main equipment, the quick charging protocol IC can detect the D + signal or the D-signal of the USB interface, and further confirm the identification state of the external equipment on the USB interface. Specifically, the rapid charging protocol IC can detect the voltage of a D + pin or the voltage of a D-pin of the USB interface, and then confirm the identification state of the USB interface based on the voltage of the D + pin or the voltage of the D-pin.

And S702, when the external equipment confirms that the USB interface is the DCP, starting a quick charge identification process by the external equipment.

The external equipment confirms that the type of the USB interface is the DCP.

It can be understood that, when the external device confirms that the USB interface is DCP, the external device performs fast charging identification with the fast charging protocol IC. Therefore, whether the main equipment can realize the function of quickly charging the external equipment or not can be confirmed.

Specifically, the rapid charging protocol IC confirms the rapid charging protocol supported by the external device based on a plurality of rapid charging protocols, and further confirms the output voltage of the DC/DC converter.

Illustratively, the fast charge protocol IC confirms the fast charge protocol supported by the external device based on the voltage of the D + pin or the voltage of the D-pin of the USB interface, and further confirms the output voltage of the DC/DC converter.

And S703, after completing the fast charging identification, the fast charging protocol IC sends a first signal to the MCU, wherein the first signal is used for indicating the completion of the fast charging identification.

And S704, after receiving the first signal, the MCU reads the quick charge identification information stored in the register in the quick charge protocol IC, and sends a fourth signal to the quick charge protocol IC (S4 signal), wherein the S4 signal is used for indicating the quick charge protocol IC to switch the type of the USB interface to be SDP and indicating the quick charge protocol IC to interrupt the power supply of the USB interface to the external equipment.

In the embodiment of the application, the quick charge identification information is used for indicating that the quick charge identification is normal or abnormal. For example, the fast charge identification is represented by 1, and the fast charge identification is represented by 0. It can be understood that, when the fast charging identification is normal, the main device can realize the function of fast charging the external device. When the quick charging identification is abnormal, the main equipment can not realize the function of quickly charging the external equipment.

And S705, after receiving the S4 signal, the quick charge protocol IC interrupts the power supply of the USB interface to the external equipment.

In a first possible implementation manner, after receiving the S4 signal, the fast charging protocol IC controls the DC/DC converter to stop outputting, so as to interrupt power supply from the USB interface to the external device.

In a second possible implementation manner, after the rapid charging protocol IC receives the S4 signal, the control switch is turned off to interrupt the power supply from the USB interface to the external device.

Therefore, the external equipment and the main equipment are automatically disconnected, the condition that the external equipment is pulled out manually is reduced, and user operation is reduced.

And S706, after receiving the S4 signal, the quick charge protocol IC configures the USB interface as SDP.

In a possible implementation manner, the rapid charging protocol IC cancels the short-circuit connection between the first port and the second port, and the USB interface is an SDP.

And S707, after a period of time, the quick charging protocol IC recovers the power supply of the USB interface to the external equipment, and further triggers the external equipment to identify the type of the USB interface.

In the embodiment of the present application, the period of time may be 1s, or may be any other time duration. The embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

In a possible implementation manner, after a period of time, the rapid charging protocol IC controls the DC/DC converter to continue outputting, and recovers the power supply of the USB interface to the external device.

In a second possible implementation manner, after a period of time, the fast charging protocol IC controls the switch to be turned on, and power supply of the USB interface to the external device is restored.

It is to be understood that since the USB interface is configured as an SDP in S706, the external device recognizes the USB interface as an SDP. The state of SDP identification of the USB interface of the external equipment and the main equipment can be confirmed by the quick charging protocol IC through the D + signal and the D-signal transmitted by the USB interface. Therefore, whether the data communication between the external equipment and the main equipment is normal or not can be confirmed.

And S708, after the SDP identification is completed by the quick charge protocol IC, the quick charge protocol IC sends a second signal to the MCU, and the second signal is used for indicating the completion of the SDP identification.

S709, the MCU reads SDP identification information stored in a register in the rapid charging protocol IC.

In the embodiment of the application, the fast charging identification information is used for indicating that the SDP identification is normal or abnormal. It can be understood that when the SDP identification is normal, the main device may implement a function of data communication with the external device. When the SDP is abnormal, the master device cannot implement the function of data communication with the external device.

And S710, the MCU judges and configures the USB interface based on the quick charging identification information and the SDP identification information.

In a first possible implementation manner, when the fast charge identification is normal and the SDP identification is abnormal, the MCU controls the USB interface to switch to the DCP interface, and executes S705 and S707.

In a possible implementation manner two, the fast charging identification is abnormal and the SDP identification is normal, and the master device performs SDP enumeration communication.

In a third possible implementation manner, when the fast charging identification is normal and the SDP identification is normal, the master device generates first prompt information, where the first prompt information is used to prompt the user to select the fast charging function or the data communication function. After receiving an operation of selecting a fast charging (fast charging function) by a user, the main device controls the USB interface to be switched to the DCP interface. And after receiving the operation of selecting the data communication function by the user, the main equipment carries out SDP enumeration communication.

In the embodiment of the application, the first prompt information has a plurality of prompt modes, for example, voice prompt, pop-up frame prompt and the like. The embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

In a possible implementation manner, if the fast charge identification is abnormal and the SDP identification is abnormal, the MCU does not operate or generates the second prompt message. The second prompt message is used for prompting the user to replace the USB interface.

On the basis of the four possible implementation manners, the main device may also prompt the functions that can be implemented by the USB interface based on the fast charging identification information and the SDP identification information, so as to prompt the user about the characteristics of the USB interface. Therefore, the user can select the corresponding function or replace the USB interface according to the requirement.

In conclusion, the MCU can obtain the identification information of the USB interface from the fast charging protocol IC, and control the power supply voltage to the external device, thereby implementing the secondary identification of the USB interface by the external device. Therefore, the identification of two functions can be realized by one-time access of the external equipment, the number of times of manual plugging and unplugging of the external equipment is reduced, and the operation is simple.

In addition, the main equipment carries out function prompt of the USB interface according to the twice identification information and carries out type switching of the USB interface according to selection of a user. The USB interface is convenient for a user to configure, and the user experience is improved. The function prompt also helps users who do not know the product characteristics to master the using method, and the product user experience is improved.

It can be understood that after S704, the MCU controls the DC/DC converter or the switch through the fast charging protocol IC to interrupt or recover the power supply from the USB interface to the external device. The MCU can also directly control the DC/DC converter or the switch to realize the interruption or the recovery of the power supply of the USB interface to the external equipment.

In a first possible implementation manner, after the MCU reads the fast charging identification information stored in the register in the fast charging protocol IC, the MCU controls the DC/DC converter to stop outputting, so as to interrupt the power supply from the USB interface to the external device. And after a period of time, the MCU controls the continuous output of the DC/DC converter to recover the power supply of the USB interface to the external equipment.

In a possible implementation manner two, after the MCU reads the fast charging identification information stored in the register in the fast charging protocol IC, the MCU controls the switch to be turned off, so as to interrupt the power supply from the USB interface to the external device. And after a period of time, the MCU controls the switch to be closed so as to recover the power supply of the USB interface to the external equipment.

It is understood that, in the above embodiment, the type of the USB interface defaults to DCP, and the type of the USB interface may default to SDP. Illustratively, after the SDP identification is completed, the MCU acquires SDP identification information in the fast charging protocol IC, and controls the DC/DC converter to stop outputting, so as to interrupt the power supply from the USB interface to the external device. And after the MCU controls the quick charging protocol IC to complete the type switching of the USB interface, the DC/DC converter is controlled to continue outputting, the USB interface is recovered to supply power to the external equipment, and the secondary identification of the external equipment is triggered.

In a possible implementation manner, more than 1 pin for supplying power to the USB interface is included in the USB interface. The voltage used for rapid charging may be configured separately from the system voltage, which may be used as a separate path to power the external device.

s801, identifying the external equipment and the main equipment based on the first type of the USB interface.

In a possible implementation, the first type of the USB interface may be SDP or DCP. And when the first type is DCP, the external equipment and the rapid charging protocol IC also carry out rapid charging identification.

In a possible implementation mode, the external device transmits a D + signal or a D-signal to the rapid charging protocol IC through the USB interface, detects a signal on a D-signal line or a signal on a D + signal line, and identifies the type of the USB interface. And when the type of the USB interface is DCP, the USB interface performs fast charging identification with the main equipment.

Illustratively, when the external device transmits a D + signal to the fast charging protocol IC on the D + signal line and detects a charging level on the D-signal line, the external device determines that the type of the USB interface is DCP. When the external equipment transmits a D + signal to the quick charging protocol IC on the D + signal line and the charging level is not detected on the D-signal line, the external equipment confirms that the type of the USB interface is SDP.

Adaptively, the fast charge protocol IC may confirm whether the first function corresponding to the first type can be implemented based on the D + signal and the D-signal. Specifically, the rapid charging protocol IC may detect a voltage of a data transmission pin of the USB interface, and determine whether the first function of the USB interface is normal or abnormal based on a voltage value and/or a voltage change.

S802, the main device records first identification information of the first type.

In the embodiment of the application, the first identification information is used for indicating whether the first function is abnormal or not. Illustratively, the first function normal may be denoted by 1. The first functional abnormality may be represented by 0.

It is to be understood that when the first type of the USB interface is SDP, the second type is DCP; when the first type of the USB interface is DCP, the second type is SDP.

It will be appreciated that the system voltage is typically 5V. And the external equipment detects the voltage drop of the USB interface because the main equipment stops outputting the system voltage, and further confirms that the connection with the main equipment is interrupted.

Illustratively, the main device stops outputting the system voltage by controlling the switch to be switched off so as to interrupt power supply to the external device.

In a possible implementation manner, after the external device detects that the voltage of the USB interface drops to 1V, it is determined that the connection with the host device is interrupted.

And S804, the main equipment outputs the system voltage to the external equipment.

It can be appreciated that the master device recovers the output of the system voltage after a certain time period, thereby recovering the connection with the external device. Illustratively, the master device effects restoration of the output system voltage by controlling the switch closure.

Therefore, the plugging and unplugging process of the external equipment is simulated by controlling the stopping and recovering of the system voltage, and the secondary identification of the external equipment is realized.

And S805, the external device and the main device are identified based on the second type of the USB interface of the main device.

It can be understood that when the main device outputs the system voltage to the external device, the external device is connected to the main device, and the external device recognizes the type of the USB interface.

In a possible implementation mode, the external device transmits a D + signal or a D-signal to the rapid charging protocol IC through the USB interface, detects a signal on a D-signal line or a signal on a D + signal line, and identifies the type of the USB interface.

Illustratively, when the external device transmits a D + signal to the fast charging protocol IC on the D + signal line and detects a charging level on the D-signal line, the external device determines that the type of the USB interface is DCP. When the external equipment transmits a D + signal to the rapid charging protocol IC on the D + signal line and the charging level is not detected on the D-signal line, the external equipment confirms that the type of the USB interface is SDP.

Adaptively, the fast charge protocol IC may confirm whether the first function corresponding to the first type can be implemented based on the D + signal and the D-signal. Specifically, the rapid charging protocol IC may detect a voltage of a data transmission pin of the USB interface, and determine whether the second function of the USB interface is normal or abnormal based on the voltage value and/or the voltage change.

S806, the main device records second identification information of the second type.

In this embodiment of the application, the second identification information is used to indicate whether the second function is abnormal. Illustratively, the second function normal may be denoted by 1. The second functional abnormality may be represented by 0.

It is to be understood that, when the second type is DCP, the second identification information may be the fast charge identification information described above. When the second type is SDP, the second identification information may be SDP identification information described above.

S807, the main device determines the type of the USB interface based on the first identification information and the second identification information.

In a first possible implementation manner, when the first function is normal and the second function is abnormal, the master device controls the USB interface to switch to the first type.

In a possible implementation manner, the first function is abnormal and the second function is normal, and the master device controls the USB interface to be of the second type.

And after receiving the operation of selecting the first type by the user, the main equipment controls the USB interface to be switched to the first type. And the master equipment performs the second type of communication after receiving the operation of selecting the second type by the user.

In a possible implementation manner, the first function is abnormal and the second function is abnormal, and the master device does not respond or generates the second prompt message. The second prompt message is used for prompting the user that the USB interface cannot use the first function and the second function. Therefore, the user can replace the USB interface in time.

In conclusion, the main device realizes the process of simulating manual plugging by stopping the voltage output of the system and starting the voltage output of the system, so that the secondary identification of the external device on the USB interface is realized. Therefore, the external equipment can be identified by one-time insertion of the external equipment, the number of times of manual plugging and unplugging of the external equipment is reduced, and the operation is simple.
