The embodiments of the present application do not limit the structure of the functional shell capable of realizing the same function. (2) The names of the above functional shells are only examples for convenience of description. In different scenarios, the names of these functional shells may remain unchanged, or may be replaced by other names, which are not limited in this application. (3) The types of the above functional classes are only examples, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit the types of functional shells.

At present, the functional shell can consume power to provide services for users, and the charging technology for the functional shell plays a key role in ensuring the normal operation of the functional shell. With the development of wireless reverse charging technology for mobile phones, the mobile phone can charge the functional shell through the wireless reverse charging technology, that is, the mobile phone acts as a Tx (transmitting) device, the functional shell acts as an Rx (receiving) device, and the mobile phone provides reverse power for the functional shell.

The charging method provided by the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the specific drawings.

Referring to FIG. 5a , a schematic flowchart corresponding to a charging method provided by an embodiment of the present application is shown. As shown in Figure 5a, the process includes:

Step 501: When the electronic device detects the housing device, determine at least one application program associated with the electronic device.

Take the electronic device as a mobile phone and the case device as a functional case as an example for description.

Since there are many types of functional shells, in this embodiment of the present application, different types of functional shells are distinguished by type identification, and different types of functional shells have different type identifications. The type identifier of the functional shell is 02. A type identifier corresponding to its type is preset in the function shell. In one example, the type identification will be written into the RX IC (chip) of the functional shell, and the subsequent RX IC can send the type identification to the mobile phone.

In this application, the corresponding relationship between the type identifier of the functional shell and the application program can be preset (referred to as the first preset corresponding relationship). In an example, when the mobile phone detects the functional shell, it can obtain the type of the functional shell. identification, at least one application program associated with the function shell is determined according to the first preset corresponding relationship and the acquired type identification of the function shell.

Exemplarily, when the mobile phone detects the functional shell, it can also be understood that when the mobile phone wears the functional shell, the mobile phone obtains the type identification of the functional shell once. For example, the mobile phone can detect the wearing of the functional shell through contact sensors or Hall magnetic sensors. When the functional shell is detected, wireless reverse charging is turned on, and the type identification of the functional shell is obtained through the wireless reverse charging technology; the functional shell is obtained. After the type is identified, turn off wireless reverse charging.

In an embodiment, after the mobile phone turns on wireless reverse charging, it will try to shake hands with surrounding devices that support wireless charging, and the functional shell can send the type identifier of the functional shell itself to the mobile phone during the handshake process. Exemplarily, the handshake process includes: the mobile phone sends a first message, the first message is used to request the type identification of the functional shell, after the functional shell receives the first message, it sends a second message to the mobile phone, the second message is The message contains the type identifier of the function shell itself.

In another implementable manner, it may be pre-defined that messages sent by different types of housing devices use different resources, such as different frequency domain resources or different channels, and the messages sent by the housing devices use different resources. resource, an electronic device (such as a cell phone) can determine the type of the housing device. Specifically, preset the correspondence between the type identifiers of different functional shells and the resources used by the functional shell to send the second message (referred to as the second preset correspondence), that is, different types of functional shells use different resources to send the second message. In this way, the terminal device can determine the type identifier of the function shell that sends the second message according to the second preset corresponding relationship and the resource carrying the second message.

It should be understood that the above method of determining the type identification of the functional shell is only an example, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit the method of determining the type identification of the functional shell. identification, or the type identification of the functional shell may also be determined by detecting different positions where the sensors of the functional shell are located, which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

It should be noted that the mobile phone can obtain the type identification of the functional shell once when it detects that the functional shell is not worn until it detects that the functional shell is worn. The changed signal is to trigger the acquisition of the type identification of the functional shell after the detection of the functional shell. If the mobile phone keeps wearing the functional shell subsequently, there is no need to repeatedly acquire the type identification of the functional shell. For example, when the contact sensor detects whether or not the functional shell is worn, when it is detected that the functional shell is worn, the type identification of the functional shell is obtained once, and the type identification of the functional shell does not need to be obtained again in the process of continuously wearing the functional shell. After the sensor detects that it is detached from the functional shell, if the functional shell is detected again, it will trigger the acquisition of the type identification of the functional shell again. It should be understood that the functional shells detected twice can be the same functional shell or different functional shells. This embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

The process of determining the type identifier of the functional housing is described above. Subsequently, the electronic device may determine at least one application associated with the housing device according to the first preset correspondence and the type identifier of the housing device.

Still taking a mobile phone and a functional case as an example, a first preset correspondence is stored in the mobile phone, and the first preset correspondence defines at least one application program corresponding to at least one type identifier and each type identifier of the at least one type identifier. For example, the first preset corresponding relationship may include the name of the application or the type of the application.

It should be understood that the category to which the application belongs will be recorded in the application, for example, the Honor of Kings, Peace Elite, etc. belong to the game category, and beauty cameras, cameras, etc. belong to the camera category. That is to say, in the embodiment of the present application, there may be one or more application programs corresponding to the same type identifier in the first preset correspondence relationship, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

It should be noted that the above-mentioned type identification of the functional shell is only an example, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit the expression form of the type identification of the functional shell, for example, it may include but not be limited to one or more of the following: numbers, letters or symbol. In addition, the number of bits of the type identifier of the functional shell is also not limited.

After acquiring the type identifier of the functional shell in step 501, the mobile phone determines at least one application program corresponding to the functional shell according to the preset corresponding relationship and the acquired type identification, that is, the type identifier of the functional shell in the first preset corresponding relationship. corresponding at least one application.

Step 502: The electronic device charges the casing device when detecting that the target application program is opened.

Continuing to take the mobile phone and the functional case as an example, when the mobile phone detects that one of the one or more application programs corresponding to the functional case being worn is opened, the mobile phone charges the functional case. The target application program is any one of the at least one application program corresponding to the functional shell determined in step 501 . It should be understood that, when opening the target application, the user can manually turn on the function switch of the function shell, or it can be automatically turned on. For example, when the target application is opened by default, the function switch of the function shell is turned on. Not limited.

Specifically, when the electronic device charges the housing device, it can charge the housing device through wireless reverse charging. Exemplarily, when the electronic device detects that the target application is opened, the switch of the wireless reverse charging function is turned on. , charges the housing device through wireless reverse charging.

For the process of charging the functional shell, in an implementable manner, when it is detected that the target application is opened, the terminal device can automatically turn on the wireless reverse charging switch, as shown in Figure 5b, for wireless reverse charging A schematic diagram of the interface when the switch is turned on, in which the name of the terminal device, the device scanned by the terminal device through the wireless reverse charging protocol, and the paired (charged) device can also be displayed. It should be noted that FIG. 5 b is only for illustration, and in practice, an actual product may display more or less content than the interface shown in FIG. 5 b , which is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

In another implementation manner, when it is detected that the target application program is opened, the terminal device can display a pop-up window to notify the user that the functional shell can be charged. If the user selects the OK button, the wireless reverse charging switch is turned on. The user selects the cancel button to keep the wireless reverse charging switch off. Taking the fill light function case as an example, as shown in Figure 5c, it is detected that the user has turned on the camera (refer to interface 100), the camera application is started (refer to interface 101), and a pop-up window is displayed, asking the user whether to charge the function case (refer to interface 102). ), if the user selects the OK button, the wireless reverse charging switch is turned on (see Figure 5b for the interface of turning on the wireless reverse charging switch), if the user selects the cancel button, the wireless reverse charging switch is kept off, and the functional shell is not charged . Optionally, the pop-up window can also display other information, for example, the duration of charging the functional shell, which refers to the duration of continuously charging the functional shell after the wireless reverse charging switch is turned on, and the terminal device is turned off when the duration is reached. Wireless reverse charging switch.

In a possible example, if the first target application is running, if the second target application is turned on, since the wireless reverse charging function switch is turned on, it is not necessary to repeatedly turn on the wireless reverse charging function switch , where the first target application is one of at least one application corresponding to the function shell, and the second target application is at least one application other than the first target application in the at least one application corresponding to the function shell any of the remaining applications. Wherein, the running state of the first target application may also include a state of running in the background. When the first target application is cleared in the background, the first target application is closed. If the first target application program is closed at the front end or the background of the mobile phone, it is detected again that the second target application program is opened, and the function case is not currently charged, the function case can be charged again.

It should be noted that the above method of charging the functional case is only an example, for example, the case device may also be charged in a wired manner, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit the manner in which the electronic device charges the case device.

Optionally, after detecting that the charging stop condition is satisfied, the electronic device stops charging the housing device; exemplarily, the charging stop condition includes but is not limited to any one of the following: the target application is closed; the electronic device The power of the housing device is lower than the first set value; the power of the housing device is not lower than the second set value; it is detected that the housing device is separated from the electronic device.

Exemplarily, the charging stop condition is that the target application is closed, then when the mobile phone detects that the target application is closed, the mobile phone turns off the wireless reverse charging switch and stops charging the functional case. For another example, the condition for stopping charging is that the power of the electronic device itself is lower than the first set value, for example, the first set value is 20% of the total battery power. When the mobile phone detects that its remaining battery power is lower than 20% of the total power %, turn off the wireless reverse charging switch to stop charging the functional case. Also exemplarily, the charging stop condition is that the power of the functional shell is not lower than the second set value, and when the mobile phone detects that the power of the functional shell is not lower than the second set value, for example, the second set value is the total power of the functional shell. At 90% of the power, the phone turns off the wireless reverse charging switch and stops charging the functional case. In one example, when the mobile phone detects that the target application is opened or closed, if the total power of the functional shell is lower than 90%, it can continue to charge the function, and stop charging the functional shell until the power of the functional shell is not lower than 90%. Charge. For another example, the condition for stopping the charging is to detect that the casing device is detached from the electronic device, and when the mobile phone detects that the functional casing is detached, the wireless reverse charging switch is turned off to stop charging the functional casing.

It should be noted that the above is only an example, and the above charging stop condition may be one or more of the above, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application. For example, the charging stop condition may also be that the power of the electronic device is lower than the first set value, or/and the power of the housing device is not lower than the second set value. For another example, the charging stop condition includes that the target application program is closed, or/and the power of the housing device is not lower than the second set value. In one example, the charging stop condition includes that the target application program is closed, and the power of the housing device is not lower than the second set value, assuming that the second set value is 80%. When the power is not lower than 80% and the target application is not closed, the functional shell can continue to be charged; for another example, when it is detected that the target application is closed and the power of the functional shell is lower than 80%, the functional shell can also be charged. Continue to charge the functional shell; when it is detected that the target application is closed and the power of the functional shell is not lower than 80%, turn off the wireless reverse charging switch and stop charging the functional shell. The technical solutions of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

Referring to FIG. 6 , which is a schematic flowchart of Embodiment 1 of the present application, in Embodiment 1, the electronic device is a mobile phone, and the casing device is a fill light function casing matched with the mobile phone model as an example for description. As shown in Figure 6, the process includes the following steps:

Step 601: The mobile phone detects that the functional case is worn.

Step 602: The mobile phone turns on the wireless direction charging switch, and obtains the type identifier of the functional shell.

Step 603: The mobile phone turns off the wireless reverse charging switch.

In an implementable manner, the mobile phone turns off the wireless reverse charging switch after determining to acquire the type identification of the functional case. In another implementation manner, the mobile phone turns on the wireless reverse charging switch, and turns off the wireless reverse charging switch after a preset time. For example, the mobile phone turns on the wireless reverse charging switch, and turns off the wireless reverse charging switch after 10ms, that is, the turning off of the wireless reverse charging switch does not depend on whether the mobile phone obtains the type identification of the functional shell. It should be understood that the preset time should be at least the shortest time required for the mobile phone to obtain the type identification of the functional case.

Step 604a: If the type identifier of the function shell is 1, determine at least one application program corresponding to the type identifier (ID=1) of the function shell according to the first preset corresponding relationship.

Assuming that the first preset corresponding relationship is Table 1, the type identifier of the function shell is 01, and it can be determined that the function shell is a fill light function shell, and it is determined according to Table 1 that at least one application program corresponding to the fill light function shell includes cameras, Beauty Camera and other applications.

Step 605a: When the mobile phone detects that the target application program is opened, it charges the function case of the fill light.

In an achievable scenario, the user turns on the camera in the mobile phone, and at the same time turns on the function switch of the fill light function shell to fill light for the user. The lamp function shell is charged.

It should be noted that the above-mentioned function switch for the user to turn on the fill light function shell can also be realized by the mobile phone controlling the function shell. For example, the mobile phone sends instruction information to the function shell, instructing the function shell to turn on the fill light light. This embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

In another achievable scenario, if the user turns on the camera but does not turn on the fill light of the functional shell, the mobile phone can also charge the functional shell, or the mobile phone can detect an application in the target application, such as the camera After being turned on, it can be detected by the light sensor transmitter whether the fill light is turned on in the function shell. If the fill light is turned on in the function shell, the function shell is charged. If the fill light in the function shell is not turned on, the function shell is not charged.

Step 606a: After the mobile phone determines that the target application is closed, it stops charging the function case.

The conditions for stopping charging can be referred to the above, and will not be repeated here. If the mobile phone charges the functional case through wireless reverse charging, after it is determined that the conditions for stopping charging are met, the wireless reverse charging switch is turned off to stop charging the functional case. It should be understood that step 606a is shown as an example where the charging stop condition is that the target application is closed, but the embodiment of the present application does not limit the charging stop condition.

Step 604b: If the type identifier of the function shell is 2, determine at least one application program corresponding to the type identifier (ID=1) of the function shell according to the first preset correspondence.

Assuming that the first preset corresponding relationship is Table 1, the type of the functional shell is identified as 02, and it can be determined that the functional shell is a game functional shell. According to Table 1, it is determined that at least one application program corresponding to the fill light functional shell includes applications such as King of Glory and other applications. .

Step 605b: When the mobile phone detects that the target application program is opened, it charges the function case of the fill light.

Exemplarily, when the mobile phone detects that the Honor of Kings is activated, the wireless direction charging switch is turned on to charge the game functional shell.

Step 606a: After the mobile phone determines that the target application is closed, it stops charging the function case.
