Description
技术领域
本发明是相关于一种可携式电子装置,尤指一种可携式装置中的电能状态指示器。
背景技术
在现今的社会中,诸如移动电话或个人数字助理(PDA)等的可携式装置已越来越受到消费者的亲睐了。由于这些产品的日趋流行,因此,制造商们持续地研发各种不同新特性,以期提供这些可携式装置更多更好用的功能。其中一种新特性便为电能状态指示器,其主要的功用是在于指示该可携式装置的蓄电量中所剩余的电能量的高低。
在现有技术中,该电能状态指示器的运作方式相当简单-若该电能状态指示器检测到该蓄电量很低时,则该可携式装置发出声响。
请参阅第1图,第1图为已知一声响低蓄电量指示逻辑(audiblelow-battery indicator logic)100的功能方块图,其包含中央处理器102、电能状态指示器104、电池106、声响数据108、扬声器110、以及启动感应器112。中央处理器102可藉由探询启动感应器112的方式,判定该可携式装置究是于何时启动,此外,中央处理器102亦能解读电能状态指示器104、并继而通过扬声器110将声响数据108转换成声响。电能状态指示器104可判定电池106中所剩余的电能量的高低。
请参阅第2图,并一并参阅第1图,第2图为显示引致产生该声响的一连串事件(event)的流程200的流程图,流程200包含下列步骤:
步骤210:开始(启动感应器112检测该可携式装置是否已启动);
步骤220:「蓄电量过低吗?」(电能状态指示器104检查电池106的蓄电量是否过低,若电池106的蓄电量过低,则进行步骤230,否则,进行步骤240);
步骤230:电话发出声响(电能状态指示器104通知中央处理器102电池106的蓄电量已过低了,因此,中央处理器102将声响数据108转换成声响,并播放于扬声器110);以及
步骤240:结束。(使用者现在可继续操作电话了)。
很不幸地,已知的电能状态指示器,以及该可携式装置的架构中所采行的方法,皆有一些严重的缺点。
首先、该可携式装置于该蓄电量过低时所发出的声响数据是固定的编码,因此,使用者无法另行选择不同的警示类型。
再者,已知技术在该电能状态指示器上设置仅可供目视的灯号列,以于该蓄电量尚不致过低时、作为通知使用者该蓄电量所剩余的电能量的唯一手段。然而,这种设计方式不尽理想,特别是当使用者想要自行检视电能状态时,会更为强烈地感受到该设计方式实在是不理想。该使用者的所以无法依循灯号列的指示判读电能状态的原因或出于其本身的因素、或出于该可携式装置的因素。举例来说,就该使用者本身的因素而言,该使用者可能视力不佳、或正在开车,而就该可携式装置的因素而言,该可携式装置可能是位于光线异常强烈的环境中,以致于该使用者根本无法判读灯号列、也有可能该可携式装置上的显示屏早已破损了。
发明内容
因此本发明的主要目的在于提供一种电能状态指示器,以解决现有技术的缺点。
本发明是揭露一种包含一种用于可携式装置的电能状态指示器,其包含启动感应器,用来检测该可携式装置于一段未启动的期间之后,是否被启动;电能状态检测器,用来判读电能储存装置中所剩余的电能量的高低;以及警示装置,其可产生至少两种不同的感知警示信号,其中,当检测到该可携式装置启动时,该至少两种不同的感知警示信号中的一种感知警示信号是被输出、以对应该剩余的电能量。
本发明还揭露一种用于可携式装置的电能状态指示器,其包含:警示装置;警示数据库,其包含至少分成两部分的警示数据,每一部分的警示数据皆分别对应于不同的感知警示信号;启动感应器,用来于一段未启动的期间之后,检测该可携式装置是否已被启动,以响应使用者输入;电能状态元件,用来判读电池中所剩余的电能量的高低;以及警示触发装置,连接于该启动感应器、该警示数据库;该电能状态指示器、及该警示装置,该警示触发装置包含编码程序,当该启动感应器检测出该可携式装置启动时,该编码程序通过该警示装置输出该警示数据中对应于该剩余的电能量的部分。
本发明还揭露一种用来输出可携式装置的电能状态的方法,其包含:检测该可携式装置响应使用者输入时的启动状态;判定电能储存装置中所剩余的电能量的高低;以及当检测到该可携式装置被启动时,输出对应于该剩余的电能量的感知警示信号。

具体实施方式
请参阅第3图,第3图为传统折迭式移动电话300的示意图。移动电话300包含上部分302、下部分304、以及机械式启动感应器306。
当上部分302贴合于下部分304时,移动电话300是位于关上位置A。当移动电话300是处于关上位置A时,机械式启动感应器306并未被触发,因此,移动电话300是处于未启动的状态。
当上部分302远离下部分304达预定距离时,移动电话300是位于打开位置B。当移动电话300是处于打开位置B时,机械式启动感应器306因上部分302已远离于下部分304而被触发,并因而使得移动电话300改处于启动的状态。
请参阅第4图,第4图为传统直立式移动电话400的示意图。移动电话400包含电磁式启动感应器402及多个按键404。
当该等按键404中任一按键被按下时,电磁式启动感应器402便被触发,于此同时,移动电话400便被视为是处于启动的状态,若该等按键404中没有任何按键被按下,则电磁式启动感应器402便不会被触发,而移动电话400则仍处于未启动的状态。
请参阅第5图,第5图为本发明中电量指示逻辑500的功能方块图。电量指示逻辑500包含警示触发装置502、启动感应器506、电能状态指示器508、电能储存装置510、警示数据库512、以及警示装置514,其中,电能储存装置510可为电池。
启动感应器506是用来检测该可携式装置在经过了一段未启动期间后,是否被启动了。一般说来,启动感应器506是一种如之前所述的感应器306或402的装置。启动感应器506可为霍尔(hall)感应器、或小型键盘(keypad)感应器,但不局限于此二种。启动感应器506也可为电磁式感应器、或机械式感应器,但也不局限于此二种。此外,启动感应器506也可为电磁机械组合式感应器。一般说来,此处所使用的「启动」是指使用者藉由亲手打开移动电话(对折迭式移动电话300而言)、按触小型键盘(keypad)上的按钮(对直立式移动电话400而言)、或甚至仅仅只是开启该可携式装置的电源等方式,以改变该可携式装置的使用状态,但并不局限于此三种。另外,对于该可携式装置的启动而言,该可携式装置的电源并不一定要开启或关闭。
警示触发装置502包含编码程序504,其可为固件程序或软件程序。警示触发装置502是连接至启动感应器506、警示数据库512、电能状态指示器508、以及警示装置514。当启动感应器506检测到该可携式装置启动时,警示触发装置502内的程序504便通过警示装置514,输出(或执行)警示数据库512中对应于电能储存装置510内所剩余电能量高低的部分警示数据,至于电能储存装置510中究竟剩余多少电能量,则是由电能状态指示器510来加以判定。
电能状态指示器508指示电能储存装置510中所剩余的电能量为段差式(discrete)的、且是以一对一的方式对应于警示数据库512中的所有部分警示数据,而每一部分警示数据皆分别对应于一种段差警示类型。
警示数据库512包含多种警示数据,其可通过扬声器被合成为可听见的蜂鸣、旋律、或任何人类所能分辨的具有不同音量的声响(举例来说,随着剩余电能量的逐渐减少,相应地,逐渐降低该声响的音量),其中,该扬声器是形成部分的警示装置514。同样地,该等警示数据亦可通过振动器(vibrator)被合成为具有不同振幅的振动信号(举例来说,振幅大的振动信号对应于高剩余电能量,而振幅小的振动信号对应于低剩余电能量),其中,该振动器是形成部分的警示装置514。此外,其它的警示类型也可应用于本发明,任何警示类型,只要其可区分成多级人类可感知或分辨的警示层级,皆可应用于本发明。随着相关技术的精益求精,警示类型也可包含热警示类型、或有关嗅觉方面的警示类型等。另外,当警示装置514是由各种具有不同性质的警示单元(例如扬声器与振动器)所组合而成的时,本发明也可采行一种全然不同的警示类型,也就是说,当电能储存装置510中所剩余的电能量尚处在正常范围内时,警示装置514可随着该剩余电能量的高低,而发出具有不同音量的美妙旋律,反之,当电能储存装置510中所剩余的电能量到达最低临界值时,警示装置514除了发出可引人注意的高音量旋律外、另可伴随着强烈的振动。
请参阅第6图,并一并参阅第5图,第6图为显示产生电能指示的一连串事件的流程600的流程图,流程600包含下列步骤:
步骤610:开始(启动感应器506检测到该可携式装置已被使用者所启动);
步骤630:警示触发装置502开始运作(程序504执行中);
步骤640:警示触发装置502选取警示数据(其选取警示数据的方式为:令程序504依据电能状态指示器508所指示的电能储存装置510中所剩余的电能量,存取警示数据库512内的警示数据、并继而选取待输出的警示数据);
步骤650:警示触发装置502播放该警示数据(警示触发装置502将该选取的警示数据传送至警示装置514,其可将该选取的警示数据合成为人类可感知的警示信号、并播放该警示信号);以及
步骤660:结束(使用者用者现在可继续操作电话了)。
只要能出现差不多相同的结果,流程600中所包含的各个步骤不见得一定要如第6图所示的顺序般进行,也就是说,流程600中所包含的各个步骤中也可插入其它步骤。
请注意,以下所述的关于本发明相较于现有技术所具有的优点,主要是在该可携式装置为移动电话的基础上,所比较出来的,当然,该可携式装置也可为其它任何型式的可携式电子装置。
相较于已知的低电能蜂鸣机制,本发明的可听见、振动、或其它感应电能状态的特性在许多方面也都很有用。首先、当无法以目视的方式得知移动电话上电能状态指示器所指示的蓄电量时,其可能是由使用者本身的因素、或移动电话的因素所造成的,但本发明仍能通知使用者蓄电量状态。就使用者本身的因素而言,其可能正好在开车、因而无暇顾及该电能状态指示器,又或是其视力恰好受损。就移动电话的因素而言,其上的显示屏可能已破损、已烧坏、或移动电话正处于日照非常强烈的环境中,不管那一种因素,使用者皆无法清楚地目视、并放心地依据其所看到的数据判定移动电话究竟还剩余多少电能量。
其次、在本发明中,该警示触发装置可由使用者随意启动,但在现有技术中,该低电能蜂鸣机制却只有在蓄电量过低时才被启动,就本发明而言,本发明可弹性地提供使用者除了目视以外的其它检视蓄电量的途径,例如像是耳听、感触(振动)、或感觉等。正如之前所述,具有多种检视蓄电量途径的移动电话对于视力受损的使用者而言特别有用。
此外,本发明所提供的弹性可进一步地扩展到警示类型上。由于该警示数据库的设置,该警示数据库可容许该警示触发机制存取各式各样振动、及具有不同音量的蜂鸣、旋律、及声响等,使用者可藉由各种天马行空的方式被告知移动电话的蓄电量。举例来说,若移动电话的蓄电量仍然很充足,则可播放令人愉悦的旋律,反之,若移动电话的蓄电量已所剩不多,则可播放蜂鸣并伴随振动,该蜂鸣的音量可反比于该电能状态指示器上的灯号列所显示的灯号数。如此的方式显然优于现有技术的于蓄电量过低时仅能发出蜂鸣的方式。
最后,藉由实施本发明的电能状态指示器,也可一并解决现有技术中所隐含的缺点。举例来说,在某些情况下,该电能状态指示器并无法精确地显示蓄电量的高低,特别是当蓄电量所剩无几时,这时,该电能状态指示器上所显示的事实上是一具已几乎耗尽电能、并行将停止运作的移动电话的蓄电量。在这种情况之下,本发明的可随着移动电话的每一次启动便相应地发出警示信号的方式,可随时通知使用者关于移动电话的蓄电量的高低,如此一来,使用者便作出如更换电池等相应动作了。
以上所述仅为本发明的较佳实施例,凡依本发明权利要求范围所做的均等变化与修饰,皆应属本发明的涵盖范围。
