Detailed ways

Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, the same numbers in different drawings refer to the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The implementations described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all implementations consistent with the present disclosure.

With the development of science and technology, terminals such as mobile phones and tablets have become one of the important devices in people's daily lives. During use, terminals such as mobile phones and tablets are mainly powered by batteries installed inside them. In daily life, due to the lack of battery power, terminals often shut down automatically when traveling, which causes a lot of trouble to people.

For example, when a low-power terminal is turned off, the mobile phone and other terminals used at this time cannot use Near Field Communication (NFC), and cannot be used normally when a near field communication NFC device is detected. For another example, when a low-power terminal is turned off, it cannot know whether there is a call, etc., nor can it tell others when it can be turned on. Similarly, in daily use, if you forget to charge the terminal at night, it is very likely that the alarm clock on your mobile phone and other terminals will not be able to remind you the next day.

Due to the lack of battery power of the terminal, it directly affects the use of users in daily life.

Therefore, the present disclosure provides a battery usage control method that rationally activates and controls battery power, and can still provide users with functions such as alarm clock, call reply, and NFC to meet the user's needs even when the low-power terminal is shut down.

FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a battery usage control method according to an exemplary embodiment. The battery usage control method is applied to the terminal, and the terminal includes two batteries. As shown in Figure 1, it includes the following steps S101 to S104.

In step S101, the remaining power of the two batteries is detected. When it is detected that the remaining power of the first battery is lower than the first power threshold, it is determined whether the remaining power of the second battery is higher than the first power threshold.

In this disclosed embodiment, the first power threshold is a set appropriate battery water level, which is the power used to implement the preset function when the terminal is turned off. This embodiment does not limit this. After detecting that the remaining power of the first battery is lower than the first power threshold, it is determined whether the remaining power of the second battery is higher than the first power threshold. One situation can be understood as: after detecting that the remaining power of the first battery is greater than the first power threshold, there is no need to determine whether the remaining power of the second battery is higher than the first power threshold, and the first battery continues to be connected to the first circuit. At this time, it can be considered that the terminal has sufficient power to ensure that the terminal is powered on, that is, the terminal is not powered off.

Another situation can be understood as: after detecting that the remaining power of the first battery is equal to the first power threshold, there is no need to determine whether the remaining power of the second battery is higher than the first power threshold, and the first battery continues to be connected to the first circuit. . At this time, it can be considered that the terminal power is in a low power stage and only the power of the first battery is used, but it will soon be necessary to determine whether the remaining power of the second battery is higher than the first power threshold.

Another situation can be understood as: after detecting that the remaining power of the first battery is less than the first power threshold, it is necessary to determine whether the remaining power of the second battery is higher than the first power threshold. At this time, it can be considered that the power of the terminal is in a low power stage, and only the power of the second battery is used, while the power of the first battery is retained.

In step S102, if yes, control the second battery and the first circuit to be turned on; wherein the first circuit is the circuit used in the terminal power-on state.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the remaining power of the second battery is higher than the first power threshold, the second battery and the first circuit are controlled to be turned on. It can be understood that only when the remaining power of the first battery is lower than the first power threshold and the remaining power of the second battery is higher than the first power threshold, the second battery and the first circuit are turned on, and the second battery is activated. . That is to say, when the power of the first battery is higher than the first power threshold and the terminal can be kept powered on, the second battery will not be connected to the first circuit.

In step S103, when it is detected that the power of the second battery is exhausted, the first battery and the second circuit are controlled to be turned on, and the terminal is controlled to shut down; wherein, the second circuit is a circuit used in the shutdown state of the terminal.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, after the second battery is exhausted and before the terminal is shut down, the first battery and the second circuit are controlled to be connected. That is to say, after the terminal is shut down, the first battery supplies power to the second circuit.

In step S104, the first battery is used to power the second circuit so as to realize the preset function when the terminal is powered off.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the preset functions refer to the basic usage functions of the terminal, including: recording incoming calls, automatically replying to incoming call messages, near field communication functions, alarm clocks, etc. The preset function can be selected according to the user's settings. For example, if the user wants to provide an alarm clock function in the automatic shutdown state, the user can select the alarm clock function to the preset function. For another example, if the user wants to notify the caller if there is an incoming call when the terminal is in the automatic shutdown state, the user can set up a voice notification or text message to inform the caller of the fact that the terminal has been turned off.

It should be understood that the preset functions may be functions that the user does not want to be unable to use due to low battery shutdown, and this embodiment does not limit this.

The battery usage control method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can be applied to terminals. A terminal is a device that provides a voice and/or data connection to a user, or a chip located within the device. The terminal may be a touch display device or other hardware device with various operating systems. For example, terminals may include: mobile phones, tablets, laptops, PDAs, Mobile Internet Devices (MID), wearable devices, Virtual Reality (VR) devices, Augmented Reality (AR) Equipment, wireless terminals in industrial control, wireless terminals in unmanned driving, wireless terminals in remote surgery, wireless terminals in smart grids, wireless terminals in transportation safety, wireless terminals in smart cities, wireless terminals in smart homes Terminal etc. Of course, these are just examples and are not specific limitations to the embodiments of the present disclosure.

By adopting the above solution and using dual batteries, the remaining power of the two batteries is detected. When it is detected that the remaining power of the first battery is lower than the first power threshold, it is determined whether the remaining power of the second battery is higher than the first power threshold. threshold; if yes, control the second battery and the first circuit to be turned on; where the first circuit is the circuit used in the terminal power-on state; when it is detected that the second battery is exhausted, control the first battery and the second circuit conduction, and control the terminal to shut down; the second circuit is a circuit used when the terminal is shut down; the first battery is used to power the second circuit, so as to realize the preset function when the terminal is shut down, reasonably control the battery power, and enable low-power terminals to operate Even when the phone is turned off, it still provides users with functions such as alarm clock, call reply, and NFC to meet users' needs while bringing a better user experience and alleviating users' anxiety.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart of a battery usage control method according to an exemplary embodiment. In a possible implementation, as shown in Figure 2, in step S103, when it is detected that the second battery is exhausted, the first battery and the second circuit are controlled to be turned on, and the terminal is controlled to shut down, including the following Step S1031 and step S1033.

In step S1031, in the first circuit power supply mode, it is detected whether the power of the second battery of the terminal is less than or equal to a second threshold power, where the second threshold power is less than the first threshold power.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the second threshold power is the power when the low-power terminal is shut down. The power of the low-power terminal when it is shut down (i.e., the second threshold power) is less than the power used to implement the preset function when the terminal is turned off (i.e., the first threshold of power).

One situation can be understood as: the power of the second battery is less than the second threshold power, the terminal shuts down due to low power, and then the first battery is enabled again.

Another situation can be understood as: the power of the first battery is equal to the second threshold power, the terminal is shut down due to low power, and then the first battery is enabled again.

In step S1032, when it is detected that the power of the second battery of the terminal is less than or equal to the second threshold power, the first battery and the second circuit are controlled to be turned on.

One situation can be understood as: the power of the second battery is less than the second threshold power, and the first battery and the second circuit are connected before the terminal is shut down due to low power.

Another situation can be understood as: the power of the first battery is equal to the second threshold power, and the terminal causes the first battery and the second circuit to be connected before the power is low.

In step S1033, when it is determined that the power of the second battery of the terminal is greater than or equal to the second threshold power and less than the first threshold power, the second circuit is maintained to provide power for the user to choose whether to enable the preset function.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, one situation can be understood as that the power of the second battery is greater than the second threshold power (that is, the power of the low-power terminal when it is turned off) and less than the first threshold of power (that is, when the terminal is turned off to realize the use of the preset function). (power level), the user can choose whether to turn on the preset function.

Another situation can be understood as a situation where the power of the second battery is equal to the second threshold power (i.e., the power when the low-power terminal is turned off) and less than the first threshold power (i.e., the power used to implement the preset function when the terminal is turned off). Next, users can choose whether to enable the preset function.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the preset functions include: at least one of recording incoming calls, automatically replying to incoming call messages, near field communication function, and alarm clock.

When the power of the second battery is equal to the second threshold power (i.e., the power when the low-power terminal is turned off) and less than the first threshold power (i.e., the power used to implement the preset function when the terminal is turned off), the terminal initiates a pop-up window, Initiate a request to the user whether to turn on the preset function. Each preset function on the pop-up window is equipped with "Yes" and "No" buttons, or "Agree" and "Deny" buttons, or "Yes" and "No" buttons. button, or the "Y" and "N" buttons, the user can select the corresponding function by clicking the corresponding button.

For example, when the preset function of recording incoming calls is turned on, when a call is detected from the terminal, the user is prompted to have turned off the phone and the call record is recorded. It is convenient to inform others in time, avoid losing contact with the outside world and meet the user's needs.

For example, when the preset function of the alarm clock is turned on, when the arrival of the preset alarm time of the terminal is detected, the alarm reminder is directly performed. The alarm clock is stopped when the user presses the terminal power button. If you forget to charge the terminal at night, it avoids the situation where the alarm clock on the mobile phone and other terminals cannot remind you the next day.

For example, when the preset function of the near field communication function is turned on, when the near field communication NFC device is detected, the terminal can be directly approached to read the near field communication NFC. Ensure that mobile phones and other terminals use NFC cards normally, avoiding delays in user arrangements due to the inability of NFC cards to reduce users' anxiety.

By adopting the above solution, the user can choose whether to enable the preset function before the low-power terminal is shut down. When the low-power terminal is shut down, the first battery supplies power to the preset functions selected by the user to ensure the normal operation of the functions selected by the user, meet the user's needs, and at the same time bring a better user experience and reduce the user's anxiety. .

FIG. 3 is a flow chart of a battery usage control method according to an exemplary embodiment. In one possible implementation, the battery usage control method is applied to a terminal. As shown in Figure 3, when the preset function is to automatically reply to incoming call messages, the following step S105 is also included.

In step S105, the preset function is to automatically reply to incoming call messages. If there is an incoming call during the shutdown period of the terminal, shutdown information and/or information related to the terminal's standby time will be sent.

In this disclosed embodiment, the shutdown information may be: the user you dialed has shut down, please dial again later; the user you dialed has shut down, please leave a message, etc. Information related to the terminal's power-on time can be used to inform the possible power-on time, for example: communication can be restored after 30 minutes, and we will contact you again; communication can be restored after 45 minutes, and we will contact you again; communications can be restored after 1 hour, and we will contact you again. etc.

When a call is detected, the user will be prompted to have turned off their phone, and then a shutdown message will be sent, for example: the user you are calling has been turned off, please call again later; the user you are calling has been turned off, please leave a message, etc., to User terminal for incoming calls.

When a call is detected, the user is prompted to have turned off the phone, and then the information related to the terminal's power-on time is provided, for example: communication can be restored after 30 minutes, and we will contact you again; communications can be restored after 45 minutes, and we will contact you again; 1 hour After that, communication can be resumed, and you will be contacted again, etc., to the user terminal of the incoming call.

By adopting the above solution, before the low-power terminal is shut down, it is convenient to turn on the preset function of automatically replying to incoming calls according to the user's needs. When the low-power terminal is shut down, it can automatically reply to incoming calls to avoid losing contact with the outside world. , to meet user needs.

FIG. 4 is a flow chart of a battery usage control method according to an exemplary embodiment. In a possible implementation, the battery usage control method is applied to a terminal. As shown in Figure 4, when a peripheral device connected to the terminal is detected, the battery usage control method further includes the following step S106.

In step S106, when a peripheral device connected to the terminal is detected, the shutdown information and/or information related to the standby time of the terminal is sent through the peripheral device.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the peripheral device may be an artificial intelligence Internet of Things AIOT (AI IoT, AIOT) device. Artificial Intelligence IoT AIOT devices include wearable devices, sensors, appliances, and medical monitors. Among them, wearable devices can be bracelets, watches and other devices. The connection method between the terminal and peripheral devices includes wireless connection. Wireless connections may include Bluetooth connections, infrared connections, etc. Among them, low-power Bluetooth connection can perform data exchange based on Bluetooth protocol. When connected through Bluetooth, the corresponding message transmission between the terminal and artificial intelligence Internet of Things (AIOT) devices such as bracelets and watches is completed. It allows the user to know the current status from the connected device and send shutdown information and/or information related to the terminal's standby time through the peripheral device.

By adopting the above solution, shutdown information and/or information related to the terminal's standby time are sent through peripheral devices, thereby providing users with a better experience.

FIG. 5 is a flow chart of a battery usage control method according to an exemplary embodiment. In one possible implementation, the battery usage control method is applied to a terminal. As shown in Figure 5, when the preset function is a near field communication function, the battery usage control method further includes the following step S107.

In step S107, the preset function is the near field communication function. When the terminal is equipped with multiple near field communication cards, the near field communication cards are activated sequentially within the preset time. When the matching near field communication card is read, Terminate the near field communication function.

In this disclosed embodiment, the preset time may be 5 seconds, 10 seconds, 15 seconds, etc., which is not limited in this embodiment. When the preset function of near field communication is turned on, when a near field communication NFC device is detected, just bring the terminal close to the near field communication NFC reading. When the terminal is equipped with multiple near field communication cards, the near field communication cards are started sequentially within a preset time. When a matching near field communication card is read, the near field communication function is terminated.

By adopting the above solution, it is ensured that mobile phones and other terminals can use NFC cards normally, avoiding delays in users' schedules due to the inability of NFC cards to be used, and alleviating users' anxiety.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating activating a preset function of a terminal according to an exemplary embodiment. As shown in Figure 6, activating the default function of the terminal includes the following steps S1041 to S1042.

In step S1041, the power required for each of the preset functions is displayed.

In step S1042, one or more of the preset functions to be activated are determined based on the required power and the power of the second battery.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when the power of the second battery is equal to the second threshold power (i.e., the power when the low-power terminal is turned off) and less than the first threshold power (i.e., the power used to implement the preset function when the terminal is turned off) , the terminal initiates a pop-up window. Initiate a request to the user whether to enable the preset function, and the power required for the function will be displayed in the pop-up window. According to the required power and the power of the first battery, it is determined to activate one or more preset functions.

One situation can be understood as: when the power required to display the preset function that needs to be turned on is less than the power of the first battery, it is determined to activate the preset function.

Another situation can be understood as, when the power required to display the preset function that needs to be turned on is equal to the power of the first battery, it is determined to start the preset function.
