Description
本発明は、電池により駆動される携帯機器に関し、特に、放電時における電池電圧の変動が大きいときに、電池電圧の検出周期を変更する技術に関するものである。 The present invention relates to a portable device driven by a battery, and more particularly, to a technique for changing a battery voltage detection period when battery voltage variation during discharge is large.
携帯機器に使われる電源としては、電池が多く使われており、限られた電池容量で長時間使うために様々な工夫をしている。例えば、表示装置のバックライトは、一定時間操作を行わない場合に消灯していた。 Batteries are often used as the power source used in portable devices, and various measures are taken to use them for a long time with a limited battery capacity. For example, the backlight of the display device is turned off when no operation is performed for a certain period of time.
しかるに一定時間操作を行わないときに表示装置のバックライトを消灯しても、電池電圧を検出する間隔は常に一定であった。 However, even if the backlight of the display device is turned off when no operation is performed for a certain period of time, the battery voltage detection interval is always constant.
また、電池残量の閾値を算出し、あらかじめ設定されている閾値と比較することで、電池残量を判別する技術が提案されている(特許文献1参照)。 In addition, a technique has been proposed in which a battery remaining amount is calculated and compared with a preset threshold value (see Patent Document 1).
しかしながら、上述した従来例においては次のような問題があった。 However, the conventional example described above has the following problems.
つまり、従来においては、電池残量を比較するために、一定の周期で電池電圧を検出する必要があった。 That is, conventionally, in order to compare the remaining battery levels, it is necessary to detect the battery voltage at a constant cycle.
このような手段では、電池電圧を検出するために一定の周期で検出部を起動するため、電池の残量に影響を与えることが考えられる。 In such a means, since the detection unit is activated at a constant period in order to detect the battery voltage, it is considered that the remaining amount of the battery is affected.
本発明は、電池電圧の差に変動がないときに、検出部の検出周期を長くすれば、検出部の起動回数が減るため、電池の消費を減らすことを目的とする。 An object of the present invention is to reduce battery consumption since the number of activations of the detection unit is reduced if the detection cycle of the detection unit is lengthened when there is no change in the difference in battery voltage.
前記課題を解決するために、本発明に係る電圧監視方法は、電池で駆動する電子機器であって、前記電子機器を駆動する電池と、前記電池の電圧を検出する検出部と、前記電池の電圧変動許容値と前記検出部で検出した電圧値を保持する記憶部と、前記記憶部に格納している電圧値を前回の電圧値と比較する比較部と、測定周期を設定するタイマーと、nが2以上の整数である場合に、前期比較部の比較結果を入力とし前記タイマーに前記n個の値のいずれかを検出間隔として設定する測定周期決定部と、を持つことを特徴とする。 In order to solve the above problems, a voltage monitoring method according to the present invention is an electronic device driven by a battery, the battery driving the electronic device, a detection unit for detecting the voltage of the battery, A storage unit that holds a voltage fluctuation allowable value and a voltage value detected by the detection unit, a comparison unit that compares the voltage value stored in the storage unit with a previous voltage value, a timer that sets a measurement cycle, a measurement period determining unit configured to input a comparison result of a previous period comparison unit as an input and set one of the n values as a detection interval in the timer when n is an integer of 2 or more; .
本発明に係る電圧監視方法は、前記比較部は、前記記憶部に格納している前回の前記電池の電圧値と今回の前記電池の電圧値を比較した結果、前記記憶部に設定してある前記電池の電圧変動許容値よりも大きいときには前記タイマーに、前記n値の中で現在設定されている値以下の値を設定することによって、測定周期を短くすることを特徴とする。 In the voltage monitoring method according to the present invention, the comparison unit is set in the storage unit as a result of comparing the previous voltage value of the battery stored in the storage unit with the current voltage value of the battery. When the voltage fluctuation allowable value of the battery is larger, the measurement cycle is shortened by setting the timer to a value not more than the currently set value among the n values.
本発明に係る電圧監視方法は、前記比較部は、前記記憶部に格納している前回の前記電池の電圧値と今回の前記電池の電圧値を比較した結果、前記記憶部に設定してある前記電池の電圧変動許容値よりも小さいときには前記タイマーに、前記n値の中で現在設定されている値以上の値を設定することによって、測定周期を長くすることを特徴とする。 In the voltage monitoring method according to the present invention, the comparison unit is set in the storage unit as a result of comparing the previous voltage value of the battery stored in the storage unit with the current voltage value of the battery. When the value is smaller than the battery voltage fluctuation allowable value, the timer is set to a value equal to or larger than the currently set value among the n values, thereby extending the measurement cycle.
本発明では、直前に検出した電池電圧値と今回検出した電池電圧値を比較し、検出値の差が小さいときには電池電圧の検出周期を長くすることで、電池の消耗を抑えることができるようになった。 In the present invention, the battery voltage value detected immediately before is compared with the battery voltage value detected this time, and when the difference between the detected values is small, the battery voltage detection cycle is lengthened so that battery consumption can be suppressed. became.
以下、本発明の実施形態を携帯機器で説明する。 Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described using a portable device.
図1に示すように本発明の構成は、二次電池22、二次電池22の電池電圧を検出する検出部24、ADC12と、記憶部14と、比較部16と、タイマー18と、測定周期決定部20と、ADC12と検出値を格納する記憶部14と検出値を比較する比較部16と検出周期を設定するタイマー18と測定周期決定部20で構成される制御部1、などを備えている。 As shown in FIG. 1, the configuration of the present invention includes a secondary battery 22, a detection unit 24 that detects a battery voltage of the secondary battery 22, an ADC 12, a storage unit 14, a comparison unit 16, a timer 18, a measurement cycle. A control unit 1 including a determination unit 20, an ADC 12, a storage unit 14 that stores detection values, a comparison unit 16 that compares detection values, a timer 18 that sets a detection cycle, and a measurement cycle determination unit 20. Yes.
なお、制御部1にはADC12、記憶部14、比較部16、タイマー18、測定周期決定部20で構成されるとしたが、検出部24や前記以外にも構成部品があることは言うまでもない。 The control unit 1 includes the ADC 12, the storage unit 14, the comparison unit 16, the timer 18, and the measurement cycle determination unit 20, but it goes without saying that there are other components besides the detection unit 24.
図2に電池電圧の検出を開始してから検出周期を設定するまでのフローチャートを示す。電源がオンしたことを確認する(S201)。前回検出値をクリアーし、タイマー18を1秒に設定する(S202)。電池電圧を確認し、記憶部14へ保持する(S203)。今回検出値と前回検出値を比較部16で比較する(S204)。検出値の差が±0.1Vよりも大きければS206へ、検出値の差が±0.1V以上ならS207へ行く(S205)。検出値の差が±0.1Vよりも大きければタイマー18を1秒に設定する(S206)。検出値の差が±0.1V以内であればタイマー18を10秒に設定する(S207)。今回検出値を前回検出値にコピーしたら(S208)、S203へ行く。 FIG. 2 shows a flowchart from the start of battery voltage detection until the detection cycle is set. It is confirmed that the power is turned on (S201). The previous detection value is cleared and the timer 18 is set to 1 second (S202). The battery voltage is confirmed and held in the storage unit 14 (S203). The present detection value and the previous detection value are compared by the comparison unit 16 (S204). If the detected value difference is greater than ± 0.1V, the process proceeds to S206, and if the detected value difference is greater than ± 0.1V, the process proceeds to S207 (S205). If the difference between the detected values is greater than ± 0.1 V, the timer 18 is set to 1 second (S206). If the difference between the detected values is within ± 0.1 V, the timer 18 is set to 10 seconds (S207). If the current detection value is copied to the previous detection value (S208), the process proceeds to S203.
なお、検出周期のタイマーを検出値の差が±0.1Vよりも小さいときには10秒、検出値の差が±0.1V以上のときには1秒としたが、この数値に限定されるものではない。また、電池電圧の差が±0.1Vとしたが、この数値に限定されるものではない。 Note that the detection cycle timer is set to 10 seconds when the difference between detection values is smaller than ± 0.1 V, and 1 second when the difference between detection values is ± 0.1 V or more, but is not limited to this value. . Further, although the battery voltage difference is set to ± 0.1 V, it is not limited to this value.
また、本実施例は検出間隔として2値の例を示したが、例えば、前記検出値の差に応じて、比較結果が大きければ大きいほど検出間隔を小さくするなど、複数の検出間隔値を設定する場合もありうる。 In addition, although the present embodiment shows a binary example as the detection interval, for example, according to the difference between the detection values, a plurality of detection interval values are set such that the larger the comparison result is, the smaller the detection interval is. It is possible that
なお、本実施例では電池の種類を二次電池としたが、これに限定するものではない。また、本発明は上記実施形態に限定されるものではない。 In this embodiment, the type of battery is a secondary battery, but the present invention is not limited to this. The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment.
