Description

A method for providing an upcycling function and an electronic device supporting the same

Various embodiments disclosed in this document relate to an electronic device, and more particularly, to a method for providing an upcycling function and an electronic device supporting the same.

With the development of digital technology, various electronic devices capable of communicating and processing personal information while moving such as mobile communication terminals, electronic notebooks, smart phones, tablet PCs, and wearable devices have been released. These electronic devices have been provided with various functions, such as a video call, an electronic organizer function, a document function, an e-mail function, and an Internet function, from a simple voice call and short message transmission function through rapid technological development.

As competition among mobile carriers and terminal manufacturers intensifies, the replacement cycle of electronic devices is becoming very short, and as a result, idle devices (or used electronic devices) that are discarded or left at home are increasing. In most of these idle devices, only some functions are restricted due to damage or termination of a contract with a mobile carrier, and other functions operate normally. For example, except for the call function, short-range wireless communication functions such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, a camera function, a sensor function, and a function for reproducing files such as a sound source may operate normally.

Meanwhile, recently, a method of using an idle device as an upcycling device has been proposed. Upcycling is to use an idle device for a purpose different from its original purpose (eg, a portable communication device). For example, a method of using the idle device's camera function as a home monitoring camera has been proposed.

The above-described conventional upcycling apparatus may be operated while being carried by a user, but may be operated by being fixed at a specific location. In addition, the battery of the upcycling device may also deteriorate, resulting in reduced charging performance. Accordingly, the upcycling device may be installed to operate using power that is always supplied from an external power source (eg, a power adapter).

However, the upcycling device may generate heat during operation due to deterioration in performance compared to the time of release due to aging. In addition, when the external power source is continuously connected to the upcycling device, the charging/discharging cycle may be repeated to maintain the fully charged state of the battery. In this process, battery damage such as heat generation, shortened lifespan, swelling, and overcharging may occur.

Accordingly, at least one of the various embodiments determines a deterioration state (eg, whether deterioration or degree of deterioration) of the battery based on the state of charge of the battery while the upcycling function is executed, and based on the deterioration state of the battery Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a method for adjusting an operating range of a resource related to an upcycling function, and an electronic device supporting the same.

An electronic device according to various embodiments of the present disclosure includes a battery and a processor operatively connected to the battery, wherein the processor predicts whether the battery deteriorates based on a charge/discharge state of the battery while an upcycling function is executed, , when the non-deterioration state of the battery is predicted, the operating range of the resource related to the upcycling mode is set to a first level, and when the deterioration state of the battery is predicted, the operating range of the resource is lower than the first level It can be set to set to the second level.

The method of operating an electronic device according to various embodiments includes an operation of predicting whether the battery is deteriorated based on a charge/discharge state of the battery while an upcycling function is being executed, and the upcycling mode when the non-deterioration state of the battery is predicted The method may include setting the operating range of the related resource to a first level and setting the operating range of the resource to a second level lower than the first level when the deterioration state of the battery is predicted.

While the upcycling function is being executed, the electronic device according to various embodiments of the present disclosure determines the deterioration state (eg, whether deterioration or degree of deterioration) of the battery based on the state of charge of the battery, and determines the deterioration state of the battery. By adjusting the operating range of resources related to the upcycling function based on the above, damage to the battery may be prevented and the performance of the upcycling function may be improved.

Effects that can be obtained in this document are not limited to the effects mentioned above.

According to various embodiments, the processor 220 may support an upcycling function (or an upcycling mode). The upcycling function uses at least some components of the electronic device 200 to change the original use (eg, a portable communication device) of the electronic device 200 to a different purpose (eg, an Internet of things (IoT) device in the home).

However, this is only an example, and the present document is not limited thereto. For example, various services such as a digital signage service using a display module (eg, the display module 160) and a detection service using a sensor module (eg, the sensor module 176) are upcycling functions. may be provided, and in the following description, a monitoring service will be described as an example.

According to various embodiments, the processor 220 may determine a deterioration state (or performance of the battery 240 ) of the battery 240 in response to the execution of the upcycling function. The deterioration of the battery 240 may be a state in which the ratio of the current performance to the initial performance of the battery 240 is less than a predetermined ratio (eg, 50%).

Also, when the amount of charge and consumption of the battery 240 is equal to or the amount of charge of the battery 240 is greater than the amount of consumption, it can be predicted that the battery 240 does not deteriorate (or is in a non-deterioration state). As another example, the processor 220 may predict the degree of deterioration of the battery 240 based on a time required for charging to a specified charging capacity and a time required for discharging to a specified discharging capacity.

According to an embodiment, the charging/discharging state of the battery 240 may be measured while external power is being supplied through the power interface 230 . However, this is only an example, and the present document is not limited thereto.
