Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. It is to be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for purposes of illustration only and are not intended to be limiting. It should be noted that, for convenience of description, only a portion related to the related application is shown in the drawings.

Along with the development of technology, the scheme of combining display and touch in a single chip in a touch screen has gradually replaced the scheme of respectively having a single chip in display and touch. However, in the use of intelligent electronic devices such as an intelligent watch, there are not only scenes in which touch is used simultaneously, but also scenes in which touch is used only such as clicking a bright screen.

In an intelligent electronic device, as the power in the battery is consumed, the output voltage of the battery is gradually reduced; meanwhile, the voltages of different external electronic devices are different. In a typical design, there is a common power control chip that converts the battery voltage to a different voltage for use by the various electronic devices. For some external electronic devices with relatively high power consumption, such as a screen, the general power control chip cannot provide enough output capability, so that an additional design of a power supply circuit is required.

The touch screen comprises display and touch functions. Usually, one or two chips are needed to process the data of display and touch control; therefore, the chip needs a voltage to maintain the data processing of the chip; meanwhile, a signal processing voltage is also required to realize the display and touch functions. For a touch function, continuously scanning the capacitance in the screen by using signal processing voltage to acquire the variation of the capacitance and converting the variation into a touch signal; for the display function, the signal processing voltage is used to illuminate the LEDs in the screen without breaking the points, or to continuously change the polarization of the liquid crystal while supplying power to the backlight to cause the backlight to emit light. Therefore, the touch screen generally requires two voltages for power supply, namely a chip processing voltage for chip operation and a signal processing voltage for touch signal capture and display signal representation.

Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a conventional power supply scheme, and as shown in fig. 1, the power supply scheme is shown when a display function and a touch function each use one chip, it can be seen that when the display function and the touch function are controlled by one chip respectively, the chip processing voltages are provided by a universal power control chip. The touch signal processing voltage is also provided by the general power processing chip. The displayed signal processing voltage is provided by a special circuit of a screen special power supply control chip; in addition, the battery can provide the electric energy used by the electronic equipment, other voltages corresponding to other external electronic equipment can also be controlled by the universal power supply control chip, and the main chip is a core component part in the electronic equipment and is a brain for controlling the operation and the work of the electronic equipment.

Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of a second conventional power supply scheme, and as shown in fig. 2, the power supply scheme is a power supply scheme when the display function and the touch function share one chip, it can be seen that when the display function and the touch function share one chip, the chip processes voltage and is provided by the general power supply processing chip. The signal processing voltage is provided by a dedicated circuit.

At present, the scheme of displaying and touching the same chip gradually replaces the scheme of displaying and touching the same chip. In the scheme that the display and the touch are in the same chip, the display and the touch are used simultaneously by default, namely, the touch is also closed simultaneously when the screen is turned off. This is a very common solution in mobile phones, but does not conform to the usage scenario of smart watches. For smartwatches, there is typically a scene of a long off-screen and clicking on a screen on-screen. In this scenario, the display function of the touch screen is off, but the touch function is still on. The display is very power-consuming, and the output capability of the general power control chip is insufficient, so that a special circuit is required to supply power, and the power consumption of the special power supply circuit is very high. Therefore, in the prior art, under the scene that only the touch function is needed for long-time screen-off, screen-clicking, screen-on and the like, the problem that the power consumption of the electronic equipment is still high exists, and the standby time of the electronic equipment is further shortened.

In order to solve the problems of the power supply method in the above-mentioned scheme, the embodiment of the application provides a power supply method, an electronic device and a chip, wherein the power supply method is applied to the electronic device with a display screen, and the electronic device is switched from a first mode to a second mode in response to the first touch operation when receiving the first touch operation through the display screen in the first mode; the first mode is a mode of acquiring signal processing voltage of a touch function through a first power supply circuit connected with a first chip; the second mode is a mode of acquiring signal processing voltages of the display function and the touch function through a second power supply circuit connected with the second chip. The power consumption can be effectively reduced, and the standby time of the electronic equipment is prolonged.

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

The embodiment of the application provides a power supply method which is applied to electronic equipment with a display screen. Fig. 3 is a schematic implementation flow diagram of a power supply method according to an embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 3, the power supply method of an electronic device may include the following steps:

Step 101, in a first mode, when a first touch operation is received through a display screen, responding to the first touch operation, and switching from the first mode to a second mode; the first mode is a mode of acquiring signal processing voltage of a touch function through a first power supply circuit connected with a first chip; the second mode is a mode of acquiring signal processing voltages of the display function and the touch function through a second power supply circuit connected with the second chip.

In the embodiment of the application, the electronic equipment can be switched from a first mode to a second mode in response to the first touch operation when the first touch operation is received through the display screen in the first mode; the first mode is a mode of acquiring signal processing voltage of a touch function through a first power supply circuit connected with a first chip; the second mode is a mode of acquiring signal processing voltages of the display function and the touch function through a second power supply circuit connected with the second chip.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the electronic device may be any electronic apparatus electronic device having communication and storage functions, for example: tablet computers, mobile phones, electronic readers, remote controllers, personal computers (Personal Computer, PCs), notebook computers, vehicle-mounted electronic devices, web televisions, wearable electronic devices, personal digital assistants (Personal DIGITAL ASSISTANT, PDA), portable media players (Portable MEDIA PLAYER, PMP), navigation devices, and other electronic device electronic devices.

Further, in the embodiment of the present application, the display screen may be a touch screen supporting touch operation, and the touch screen is an inductive liquid crystal display device capable of receiving input signals such as a contact.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the power consumption of the first power supply circuit is smaller than the power consumption of the second power supply circuit.

In the embodiment of the present application, the first mode is a mode of turning off the display function and turning on the touch function.

In other words, in the embodiment of the present application, the first mode is a click-to-light screen mode, in which the display screen does not display any content, and is a black screen, and the electronic device only responds to the first touch operation after the display screen receives the first touch operation, so that the screen is lightened.

In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the electronic device is a smart watch, and fig. 4 is a schematic diagram of a click-to-light screen mode, as shown in fig. 4, in the daytime, when the user does not use the smart watch, the smart watch is in a first mode, in the first mode, the display screen of the smart watch is a black screen, no content is displayed, and when the smart watch receives a touch operation (a first touch operation) through the display screen, the screen is lit, and related content is displayed, thereby entering a second mode.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, in the first mode, the first power supply circuit is in an on state; the second power supply circuit is in an off state.

In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, fig. 5 is a schematic diagram of a power supply method in the first mode, and as shown in fig. 5, a power supply circuit of an electronic device includes a battery, a main chip, a first chip, a second chip, and other external electronic devices; wherein the battery can provide electrical energy; the chip processing voltage is the voltage provided for each chip and is used for calculating the inside of the chip; the first power supply circuit is connected with the first chip, the second power supply circuit is connected with the second chip, and the first power supply circuit and the second power supply circuit are both involved in the control of signal processing voltages of the display function and the touch function; other voltages correspondingly used by other external electronic devices can also be controlled through the first chip; it can be seen that when the electronic device is in the first mode, the first power supply circuit is in an on state, and the second power supply circuit is in an off state, and because the power consumption of the first power supply circuit is low, the power supply capability of the first power supply circuit is insufficient to support the consumption of the display function, in the state, only the touch function is supported to be turned on, and the display function is turned off, so that the overall power consumption of the electronic device is effectively reduced.

In addition, as shown in fig. 5, it can be seen that in the first mode, the chip processing voltage for providing the on-chip computing function is provided by the chip power supply circuit connected to the first chip.

It may be understood that, in the embodiment of the present application, the first touch operation refers to an operation of entering the second mode by contacting the display screen of the electronic device in the first mode, so as to light the display screen of the electronic device; for example, the first touch operation may be a click operation, and when the electronic device receives the click operation through the display screen, the first mode may be switched to the second mode.

Further, in the embodiment of the present application, the second mode is a mode in which the display function and the touch function are turned on simultaneously.

In other words, in the embodiment of the present application, the second mode is a normal mode, and in the second mode, the display function and the touch function of the display screen are normally turned on, that is, the display content and the touch operation are supported.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, in the second mode, the first power supply circuit is in an off state; the second power supply circuit is in an on state.

In an embodiment of the present application, fig. 6 is a schematic diagram of a power supply method in a second mode, as shown in fig. 6, in the second mode, the first power supply circuit is turned off, the second power supply circuit is turned on, the second power supply circuit is used to provide signal processing voltages of the display function and the touch function, and the consumption of the display function can be supported due to the strong power supply capability of the second power supply circuit, so that in the second mode, the use of the display function and the touch function can be simultaneously supported by turning on the second power supply circuit.

In the embodiment of the present application, in the second mode, the power consumption of the electronic device is larger than that of the electronic device in the first mode.

Further, in an embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 6, it can be seen that in the second mode, the chip processing voltage for providing the on-chip computing function is provided by the chip power supply circuit connected to the first chip.

That is, in the embodiment of the present application, in the first mode or the second mode, the chip processing voltage is obtained by the chip power supply circuit connected to the first chip.

Therefore, in the embodiment of the application, under the scene that the display function is not used and only the touch control function is used, the electronic equipment can turn off the second power supply circuit which can support the consumption of the display function but has higher power consumption and supply power by using the first power supply circuit, so that the power consumption of the electronic equipment under the scene can be greatly reduced and the standby time of the electronic equipment can be prolonged.

Further, in the embodiment of the present application, fig. 7 is a second implementation flow chart of the power supply method according to the embodiment of the present application, and as shown in fig. 7, the power supply method may further include the following steps:

In step 201, in the second mode, display processing is performed through the display screen, and when a second touch operation is received through the display screen, processing corresponding to the second touch operation is performed in response to the second touch operation.

In an embodiment of the present application, the electronic device may further perform display processing through the display screen in the second mode, and when receiving the second touch operation through the display screen, perform processing corresponding to the second touch operation in response to the second touch operation.

That is, in the embodiment of the present application, when the electronic device is in the second mode, the display function and the touch function may be simultaneously supported; when the electronic equipment is in the second mode, the display screen is in a lighting state, related content can be displayed, meanwhile, the display screen can normally receive any touch operation at the moment, and the electronic equipment can respond and process any received touch operation.

It may be appreciated that, in the embodiment of the present application, the second touch operation refers to any touch operation that can be received on the display screen when the electronic device is in the second mode.

In an embodiment of the present application, fig. 8 is a schematic diagram of a second mode, as shown in fig. 8, in which, in the second mode, there is a content displayed on a display screen of an electronic device, a swipe operation (a second touch operation) is received through the display screen, and in response to the swipe operation, the electronic device may slide and display the content on the display screen upwards (a process corresponding to the second touch operation).

In an embodiment of the present application, fig. 9 is a schematic diagram two of a second mode, as shown in fig. 9, in the second mode, a content is displayed on a display screen of the electronic device, a right-hand-swipe operation (a second touch operation) is received through the display screen, and the electronic device may slide and display the content on the display screen rightward (a process corresponding to the second touch operation) in response to the right-hand-swipe operation.

For example, in an embodiment of the present application, fig. 10 is a schematic diagram three of a second mode, as shown in fig. 10, in which a display screen of the electronic device has content displayed thereon, for example, a plurality of Applications (APP) including APP1 and APP2 are displayed; receiving clicking operation (second touch operation) corresponding to the APP1 through the display screen, so that the electronic equipment responds to the clicking operation corresponding to the APP1 to display page content entering the APP1 on the display screen; further, the display screen can continue to receive any second touch operation based on the state of displaying the page content of the APP1, and the electronic equipment can continue responding to perform corresponding processing.

Further, in an embodiment of the present application, a third mode may be included in addition to the first mode and the second mode.

Fig. 11 is a schematic diagram of a third implementation flow of the power supply method according to the embodiment of the present application, where, as shown in fig. 11, the power supply method of an electronic device may further include the following steps:

Step 301, in a third mode, when a wake-up operation is received, switching from the third mode to the second mode in response to the wake-up operation; the third mode is a mode of turning off the first power supply circuit and the second power supply circuit.

In an embodiment of the present application, the electronic device may further switch from the third mode to the second mode in response to the wake-up operation when the wake-up operation is received in the third mode; the third mode is a mode of turning off the first power supply circuit and the second power supply circuit.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the third mode is a mode of turning off the display function and the touch function at the same time.

In other words, in the embodiment of the present application, the third mode is the off mode of the electronic device, and in the third mode, the electronic device is in the off state, and neither the touch function nor the display function is supported.

Further, in the embodiment of the present application, the electronic device in the third mode may be awakened by a preset awakening manner; for example, when the electronic device receives a preset wake-up operation, the electronic device may exit the third mode and enter the second mode; the specific mode of the wake-up operation is not limited in the present application.

In the embodiment of the present application, in the third mode, the first power supply circuit, the second power supply circuit and the chip power supply circuit are all turned off.

In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, fig. 12 is a schematic diagram of a power supply method in a third mode, and as shown in fig. 12, in the third mode, the first power supply circuit, the second power supply circuit, and the chip power supply circuit are all in an off state.

It can be understood that in the embodiment of the present application, in the third mode, the display screen is not powered, and the display function and the touch function are turned off simultaneously, so that the electronic device cannot receive any touch operation through the display screen, that is, the touch is unresponsive; meanwhile, the display screen is also in a black screen state, and no content is displayed.

Further, in an embodiment of the present application, in the third mode, when the electronic device receives the wake-up operation, the electronic device may switch from the third mode to the second mode in response to the wake-up operation.

In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the wake-up mode is to wake up the electronic device by pressing a button; FIG. 13 is a schematic diagram of a wake-up operation, as shown in FIG. 13, in which a display screen of an electronic device is in a power-down state, does not display any content, and does not support touch operation before the wake-up operation; when the electronic device receives a key operation (wake-up operation), the electronic device is awakened, so that the display screen exits from the off mode, and the display function and the touch function are started, for example, after exiting from the off mode, a starting picture "welcome" is displayed, that is, the electronic device enters into the second mode, and the touch function and the display function can be normally used.

Further, in an embodiment of the present application, the electronic device may further receive a shutdown operation, and switch from the first mode to the third mode or switch from the second mode to the third mode by responding to the shutdown operation.

In summary, the application designs a multi-path power supply scheme, which can meet different power supply requirements under various scenes of the display screen, reduce the power consumption of the whole machine and prolong the standby time.

The embodiment of the application provides a power supply method which is applied to electronic equipment with a display screen; the electronic equipment is in a first mode, and when a first touch operation is received through the display screen, the electronic equipment responds to the first touch operation and is switched from the first mode to a second mode; the first mode is a mode of acquiring signal processing voltage of a touch function through a first power supply circuit connected with a first chip; the second mode is a mode of acquiring signal processing voltages of the display function and the touch function through a second power supply circuit connected with the second chip. Therefore, in the application, when the electronic equipment is in the first mode, namely, only the scene of using the touch function is needed, the signal processing voltage of the touch function can be obtained through the first power supply circuit, so that the use of the touch function can be supported while the lower power consumption is kept; and when the electronic equipment is in the second mode, namely, a scene of using the display function and the touch function simultaneously is needed, the signal processing voltage of the display function and the touch function is acquired through the second power supply circuit so as to support the use of the display function and the touch function simultaneously, thereby effectively reducing the power consumption of the electronic equipment and improving the standby time of the electronic equipment.

Based on the foregoing embodiments, in another embodiment of the present application, an exemplary power supply method is provided and applied to an electronic device having a display screen, and fig. 14 is a schematic diagram showing an implementation flow of the power supply method according to the embodiment of the present application, and as shown in fig. 14, the power supply method of the electronic device may include the following steps:

Step 401, in the first mode, receiving a first touch operation through the display screen, and switching from the first mode to the second mode in response to the first touch operation.

In the embodiment of the application, the electronic device can receive the first touch operation through the display screen in the first mode, and switch from the first mode to the second mode in response to the first touch operation.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the first mode is a mode of acquiring a signal processing voltage of a touch function through a first power supply circuit connected to the first chip; the second mode is a mode of acquiring signal processing voltages of the display function and the touch function through a second power supply circuit connected with the second chip.

Further, in an embodiment of the present application, the power consumption of the first power supply circuit is smaller than the power consumption of the second power supply circuit.

In other words, in the embodiment of the present application, the first mode is a click-to-light screen mode, in which the display screen does not display any content, and the electronic device only responds to the first touch operation after the display screen receives the first touch operation, so that the screen is lightened.

In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 4, the electronic device is a smart watch, and in the daytime, when the user does not use the smart watch, the smart watch is in a first mode, in the first mode, the display screen of the smart watch is a black screen, no content is displayed, and when the smart watch receives a touch operation (a first touch operation) through the display screen, the screen is lit up, and related content is displayed, so that the second mode is entered.

The power supply method of the electronic device in the first mode is shown in fig. 5, and the power supply circuit of the electronic device includes a battery, a main chip, a first chip, a second chip, other external electronic devices, and the like; wherein the battery can provide electrical energy; the chip processing voltage is the voltage provided for each chip and is used for calculating the inside of the chip; the first power supply circuit is connected with the first chip, the second power supply circuit is connected with the second chip, and the first power supply circuit and the second power supply circuit are both involved in the control of signal processing voltages of the display function and the touch function; other voltages correspondingly used by other external electronic devices can also be controlled through the first chip; it can be seen that when the electronic device is in the first mode, the first power supply circuit is in an on state, and the second power supply circuit is in an off state, and because the power consumption of the first power supply circuit is low, the power supply capability of the first power supply circuit is insufficient to support the consumption of the display function, in the state, only the touch function is supported to be turned on, and the display function is turned off, so that the overall power consumption of the electronic device is effectively reduced.

Further, in an embodiment of the present application, in the first mode, the chip processing voltage for providing the on-chip computing function of the electronic device is provided by a chip power supply circuit connected to the first chip.

In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 6, a power supply method of an electronic device in a second mode may be used, in the second mode, the electronic device may turn off a first power supply circuit, turn on a second power supply circuit, and provide a signal processing voltage of a display function and a touch function by using the second power supply circuit.

Further, in an embodiment of the present application, in the second mode, the chip processing voltage for providing the on-chip computing function is provided by a chip power supply circuit connected to the first chip.

It can be understood that in the embodiment of the application, in the scene of using only the touch control function without using the display function, the electronic device can turn off the second power supply circuit capable of supporting the consumption of the display function, but with higher power consumption, and supply power by using the first power supply circuit, so that the power consumption of the electronic device in the scene can be greatly reduced, and the standby time of the electronic device can be prolonged.

Step 402, performing display processing through the display screen, and when receiving the second touch operation through the display screen, responding to the second touch operation, and executing processing corresponding to the second touch operation.

That is, in the embodiment of the present application, when the electronic device is in the second mode, the display function and the touch function may be simultaneously supported; at this time, the display screen is in a lighting state, so that related content can be displayed, meanwhile, the display screen can normally receive any touch operation at this time, and the electronic equipment can respond and process any received touch operation.

In an embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 8, in the second mode, there is a content display on the display screen of the electronic device, and the up-stroke operation (the second touch operation) is received through the display screen, and the electronic device may slide the content on the display screen upward for display (the process corresponding to the second touch operation) in response to the up-stroke operation.

In an embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 9, in the second mode, there is a content display on the display screen of the electronic device, a right-hand-swipe operation (second touch operation) is received through the display screen, and the electronic device may slide the content on the display screen to the right for display (processing corresponding to the second touch operation) in response to the right-hand-swipe operation.

Illustratively, in an embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG. 10, in the second mode, there is a content display on the display screen of the electronic device, for example, there are a plurality of APP's including APP1 and APP2; receiving clicking operation (second touch operation) corresponding to the APP1 through the display screen, so that the electronic equipment responds to the clicking operation corresponding to the APP1 to display page content entering the APP1 on the display screen; further, the display screen can continue to receive any second touch operation based on the state of displaying the page content of the APP1, and the electronic equipment can continue responding to perform corresponding processing.

Further, fig. 15 is a schematic diagram of a flow chart fifth implementation of the power supply method according to the embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 15, when the electronic device performs display processing through the display screen and receives the second touch operation through the display screen, before executing the processing corresponding to the second touch operation in response to the second touch operation, that is, before step 402, the electronic device may further include the following steps:

step 403, in the third mode, when a wake-up operation is received, switching from the third mode to the second mode in response to the wake-up operation.

In the embodiment of the application, the electronic device performs display processing through the display screen, and when receiving the second touch operation through the display screen, before executing the processing corresponding to the second touch operation in response to the second touch operation, may also be in the third mode, when receiving the wake-up operation, switch from the third mode to the second mode in response to the wake-up operation.

In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 12, in the third mode, the electronic device is in an off state in the first power supply circuit, the second power supply circuit, and the chip power supply circuit.

In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, the wake-up mode is to wake up the electronic device by pressing a button; as shown in fig. 13, before the wake-up operation, the display screen of the electronic device is in a power-down state, and does not display any content, and does not support touch operation; when the electronic device receives a key operation (wake-up operation), the electronic device is awakened, so that the display screen exits from the off mode, and the display function and the touch function are started, for example, after exiting from the off mode, a starting picture "welcome" is displayed, that is, the electronic device enters into the second mode, and the touch function and the display function can be normally used.

It can be understood that, in the embodiment of the present application, after the electronic device is switched from the third mode to the second mode, the display screen may start the display function and the touch function, so as to display the picture and receive the touch operation, i.e. enter the normal use state.

Therefore, the embodiment of the application provides a multi-path power supply scheme which can meet different power supply requirements under various scenes of the display screen, reduce the power consumption of the whole machine and prolong the standby time.

Based on the above embodiments, in another embodiment of the present application, an exemplary power supply method is provided, which is applied to a smart watch having a display screen; the whole power consumption of the intelligent watch can be reduced, and the standby time of the intelligent watch is prolonged.

It can be understood that in the embodiment of the application, the smart watch is a smart terminal that replaces the function of the traditional watch.

Fig. 16 is a schematic diagram illustrating an implementation of a power supply method according to an embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 16, in a hardware environment of a smart watch, a battery, a main chip, a universal power control chip (first chip), a screen-specific power control chip (second chip), and other electronic devices may be included; the battery can provide electric energy for the intelligent watch in use; the chip processing voltage is the voltage provided for each chip and is used for calculating the inside of the chip; the first power supply circuit is connected with the universal power supply control chip, and the second power supply circuit is connected with the screen special power supply control chip; the first power supply circuit and the second power supply circuit both participate in the control of signal processing voltages of the display function and the touch function.

That is, in the embodiment of the present application, for the smart watch, on the basis of sharing one chip with the original display function and the touch function, a signal processing voltage provided by a general power processing chip is added for the chips of the display function and the touch function.

Further, in the embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 16, the chip processing voltage of the smart watch may be provided by the chip power supply circuit of the first chip, and the signal processing voltages of the touch function and the display function may be provided by the first power supply circuit of the first chip or the second power supply circuit of the second chip.

Further, in the embodiment of the application, the smart watch is provided with a touch screen (display screen) which can support three use scenes, namely a click-to-light screen mode (first mode), a normal mode (second mode) and a closing mode (third mode); in the click-to-highlight mode, the touch screen does not display content, and can wake up and display related content by touching the screen; the click-to-light screen mode can be used in the daytime, when the user does not use the screen, the screen is black, the screen is clicked, and the screen is lightened; in the normal mode, the touch screen display function and the touch function are normally opened, namely, display content and touch operation are supported; this is the condition during normal use; in the off mode, the touch screen is completely powered off, the content cannot be displayed, the touch is also unresponsive, and the touch screen can be quitted from the off mode only by waking up in a waking operation mode and the like. The closing mode can be used in sleeping at night, and the phenomenon that a user wakes up due to the fact that the user touches the screen by mistake when wearing the intelligent watch at night is prevented.

Further, in the embodiment of the application, when the smart watch receives a first touch operation through the display screen in the first mode, the smart watch is switched from the first mode to the second mode in response to the first touch operation; the first mode is a mode of acquiring signal processing voltage of a touch function through a first power supply circuit connected with a first chip; the second mode is a mode of acquiring signal processing voltages of the display function and the touch function through a second power supply circuit connected with the second chip.

As shown in fig. 4, during daytime, when the user does not use the smart watch, the smart watch is in a first mode, in the first mode, the display screen of the smart watch is a black screen, no content is displayed, and when the smart watch receives a touch operation (a first touch operation) through the display screen, the screen is lit up, relevant content is displayed, and thus, the second mode is entered.

As shown in fig. 5, when the electronic device is in the first mode, the first power supply circuit is in an on state, and the second power supply circuit is in an off state, because the power consumption of the first power supply circuit is low, the power supply capability of the first power supply circuit is insufficient to support the consumption of the display function, in this state, only the touch function is supported to be turned on, and the display function is turned off, so that the overall power consumption of the electronic device is effectively reduced.

Further, as shown in fig. 5, in the first mode, the chip processing voltage for providing the on-chip computing function is provided by the chip power supply circuit connected to the first chip.

Further, in the embodiment of the present application, the first touch operation refers to an operation of entering the second mode by contacting the display screen of the electronic device in the first mode, thereby lighting the display screen of the electronic device; for example, the first touch operation may be a click operation, and when the electronic device receives the click operation through the display screen, the first mode may be switched to the second mode.

It can be seen that, in the embodiment of the present application, for the smart watch, the state (first mode) of turning off the screen and supporting to turn on the click screen to light the screen is a very common state; the application optimizes the power consumption in the state, and in the first mode, the first power supply circuit of the first chip is used for supplying power so as to meet the requirement of signal processing voltage; and the second power supply circuit is closed, so that the power consumption can be greatly reduced, and the standby time of the intelligent watch can be prolonged.

Further, in the embodiment of the present application, the second mode is a mode of simultaneously turning on the display function and the touch function; in the second mode, the display function and the touch function of the smart watch are normally opened, namely, display content and touch operation are supported.

As shown in fig. 6, in the second mode, the first power supply circuit is turned off, the second power supply circuit is turned on, and the second power supply circuit is used to provide signal processing voltages of the display function and the touch function.

It will be appreciated that in embodiments of the application, the power consumption of the smart watch in the second mode is greater than the power consumption in the first mode.

That is, in the embodiment of the present application, in either the first mode or the second mode, the chip processing voltage is obtained by the chip power supply circuit connected to the first chip.

Therefore, in the embodiment of the application, under the condition that the display function is not used and only the touch control function is used, the intelligent watch can close the second power supply circuit which can support the consumption of the display function but has higher power consumption, and the first power supply circuit is used for supplying power, so that the power consumption of the intelligent watch under the condition can be greatly reduced, and the standby time of the intelligent watch is prolonged.

Further, in the embodiment of the application, when the smart watch is in the second mode, display processing may be performed through the display screen, and when the smart watch receives the second touch operation through the display screen, processing corresponding to the second touch operation is performed in response to the second touch operation.

That is, in the embodiment of the present application, when the smart watch is in the second mode, the display function and the touch function may be simultaneously supported; when the intelligent watch is in the second mode, the display screen is in a lighting state, related content can be displayed, meanwhile, the display screen can normally receive any touch operation at the moment, and the intelligent watch can respond to and process any received touch operation.

As shown in fig. 8, in the second mode, for the smart watch, there is a content display on the display screen, the up-stroke operation (second touch operation) is received through the display screen, and the smart watch is responsive to the up-stroke operation, and the content on the display screen can be displayed in an upward sliding manner (processing corresponding to the second touch operation).

Further, as shown in fig. 9, in the second mode, for the smart watch, there is a content display on the display screen, a right-hand-swipe operation (second touch operation) is received through the display screen, and in response to the right-hand-swipe operation, the smart watch can slide and display the content on the display screen to the right (processing corresponding to the second touch operation).

Further, as shown in fig. 10, in the second mode, for the smart watch, there is a content display on the display screen, for example, there are a plurality of APPs, including APP1 and APP2; receiving clicking operation (second touch operation) corresponding to the APP1 through the display screen, so that the electronic equipment responds to the clicking operation corresponding to the APP1 to display page content entering the APP1 on the display screen; further, the display screen can continue to receive any second touch operation based on the state of displaying the page content of the APP1, and the intelligent watch can continue responding to perform corresponding processing.

Further, in an embodiment of the present application, the usage mode of the smart watch may further include a third mode in addition to the first mode and the second mode.

In other words, in the embodiment of the present application, the third mode is the off mode of the smart watch, and in the third mode, the smart watch is in the off state, and neither the touch function nor the display function is supported.

Further, in the embodiment of the present application, the smart watch in the third mode may be awakened by a preset awakening manner; for example, when the smart watch receives a preset wake-up operation, the smart watch can exit the third mode and enter the second mode; the specific mode of the wake-up operation is not limited in the present application.

As shown in fig. 12, in the third mode, the first power supply circuit, the second power supply circuit, and the chip power supply circuit are all turned off.

It can be understood that in the embodiment of the present application, in the third mode, the display screen of the smart watch is not powered, and the display function and the touch function are simultaneously turned off, so that the smart watch cannot receive any touch operation through the display screen, i.e. the touch is unresponsive; meanwhile, the display screen is also in a black screen state, and no content is displayed.

Further, in an embodiment of the present application, in the third mode, when the smart watch receives the wake operation, the third mode may be switched to the second mode in response to the wake operation.

For example, as shown in fig. 13, for the smart watch, before the wake-up operation, the display screen of the smart watch is in a power-down state, does not display any content, and does not support touch operation; when the smart watch receives a key operation (wake-up operation), the electronic device is awakened, so that the display screen exits from the off mode, and the display function and the touch function are started, for example, after exiting from the off mode, a starting picture "welcome" is displayed, that is, the user enters into the second mode, and the touch function and the display function can be normally used.

In addition, it should be noted that, because the touch control function and the display function are combined in one chip at present, the trend of chip technology development is inevitable. When a chip technology is developed, a chip can put two functions with high coupling, two functions are necessarily put in the same chip. For such technical requirements, a display function and a touch function public chip are presented, such public chip cannot support the display function, a special power supply circuit is required to support the display function, the special power supply circuit has excessive surplus for the individual touch function, and the consumption of the special power supply circuit is overlarge, so that the problem of high power consumption of electronic equipment is caused. Based on the above, the embodiment of the application provides that a signal processing voltage provided by a first power supply circuit of a first chip is added on the basis of a common chip with a display function and a touch function so as to be used by the chips with the display function and the touch function; therefore, under the scene that the display function is not used and only the touch control function is used, the electronic equipment can close the second power supply circuit which can support the consumption of the display function and has higher power consumption, and the first power supply circuit is used for supplying power, so that the power consumption of the electronic equipment under the scene can be greatly reduced, and the standby time of the electronic equipment is prolonged.

Further, one or two output positions capable of supporting the display function can be added into the universal power supply processing chip (the first chip), so that the universal power supply processing chip is directly utilized to provide signal processing voltages of the display function and the touch function; or when the power consumption of the dedicated power supply circuit (second power supply circuit) can be reduced to a suitable level, the dedicated power supply circuit may be directly used to provide the signal processing voltages for the display function and the touch function.

The embodiment of the application provides a power supply method, and electronic equipment is electronic equipment with a display screen; the electronic equipment is in a first mode, and when a first touch operation is received through the display screen, the electronic equipment responds to the first touch operation and is switched from the first mode to a second mode; the first mode is a mode of acquiring signal processing voltage of a touch function through a first power supply circuit connected with a first chip; the second mode is a mode of acquiring signal processing voltages of the display function and the touch function through a second power supply circuit connected with the second chip. Therefore, in the application, when the electronic equipment is in the first mode, namely, only the scene of using the touch function is needed, the signal processing voltage of the touch function can be obtained through the first power supply circuit, so that the use of the touch function can be supported while the lower power consumption is kept; and when the electronic equipment is in the second mode, namely, a scene of using the display function and the touch function simultaneously is needed, the signal processing voltage of the display function and the touch function is acquired through the second power supply circuit so as to support the use of the display function and the touch function simultaneously, thereby effectively reducing the power consumption of the electronic equipment and improving the standby time of the electronic equipment.
