detailed description

In order to make the object, technical solution and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the present invention, not to limit the present invention.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the amount of electricity that has been charged into the battery is detected, and the remaining capacity of the battery is determined according to the detection result, and then the charging rate is detected, and the time it takes to fully and/or partially charge the remaining capacity of the battery is determined according to the remaining capacity of the battery and the charging rate, and finally Displays the time it takes to fully and/or partially charge the remaining capacity of the battery, and, when displaying the remaining capacity of the fully and/or partially charged battery, the percentage of charge to the battery as a percentage of the battery capacity.

In order to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, specific examples are used below to illustrate.

Embodiment one:

FIG. 1 shows a flow chart of a charging method for a mobile terminal provided in the first embodiment of the present invention, which is described in detail as follows:

Step S11 , detecting the amount of electricity charged into the battery, and determining the remaining capacity of the battery according to the detection result.

In this step, the capacity of the battery itself is subtracted from the detected electric quantity charged into the battery to obtain the remaining capacity of the battery without charged electric quantity.

Step S12, detecting the charging rate.

In this step, the detected charging rate is the rate of the electric quantity actually charged into the battery.

Step S13, determine the time it takes to fully and/or partially charge the remaining capacity of the battery according to the remaining capacity of the battery and the charging rate.

In this step, if the rate of charge into the battery has always been the same value, the remaining capacity of the battery can be compared with the rate of charge into the battery to determine the time it takes to fully charge the remaining capacity of the battery; of course, in the determination part Before the time it takes to fully charge the remaining capacity of the battery, it is necessary to determine the remaining capacity of the part of the battery, and then compare the remaining capacity of the part of the battery with the rate of charge into the battery to determine the time it takes to partially fill the remaining capacity of the battery.

Generally, too fast a charging rate will affect the service life of the battery, but too slow a charging rate will take too long a charging time. In order to shorten the charging time and prolong the battery life, different charging rates can be used for different battery remaining capacities. Different charging rates determine the time it takes to fully charge the remaining capacity of different batteries. Optionally, when the battery is aging, considering that the charging rate will change, the determining the time it takes to fully and/or partially charge the remaining battery capacity according to the remaining battery capacity and the charging rate specifically includes:

A1. Obtain a charging rate table, the charging rate table stores the corresponding relationship between the charging rate and the percentage of the charged electricity in the battery to the battery capacity. Wherein, the charging rate table stores the corresponding relationship between a plurality of charging rates and the percentage (such as 1%-100%) of the electric quantity charged into the battery to the battery capacity. Generally, the more electric quantity charged into the battery, the higher the charging rate. small. For example, when the percentage of the charged electricity in the battery to the battery capacity is 0, the charging rate is 0.3 milliampere hours (mAh), and when the charged electricity in the battery accounts for 50% of the battery capacity, the charging rate is 0.2 mAh.

A2. Determine the percentage of the charged power to the battery capacity according to the detected electric quantity that has been charged into the battery, and look up the charging rate in the charging rate table according to the determined percentage of the charged electric quantity to the battery capacity. In order to save memory and improve the search rate, the charging rate table usually only stores the corresponding relationship between the percentage of the charged power of the battery in the battery capacity and the charging rate of the preset number, and does not store 100 (1% ~ 100%) The corresponding relationship between the percentage of the charged electricity in the battery capacity and the charging rate. Therefore, if you find the exact same percentage of the charged electricity in the battery capacity in the charging rate table, directly look up the charged battery in the charging rate table. The charging rate corresponding to the percentage of the battery's power to the battery capacity, if the same percentage of the charged battery's power to the battery capacity is not found in the charging rate table, then look up the charging rate table and the charged power to the battery. The absolute value of the percentage difference of the battery capacity is the smallest percentage, and the charging rate corresponding to the percentage of the battery capacity that has been charged into the battery is taken as the found charging rate.

A3. Compare the searched charging rate with the detected charging rate. When the searched charging rate is equal to the detected charging rate, determine the full and/or partially full charge according to the detected charging rate and the charging rate stored in the charging rate table. Elapsed time of remaining battery capacity. Specifically, the corresponding time is determined according to the detected charging rate, the charging rate stored in the charging rate table, and the corresponding percentage of the charged electricity in the battery to the battery capacity. For example, suppose the charge rate table is as shown in Table 1:

Table 1:

The percentage of the charge in the battery to the battery capacity Charging rate(mAh) 0%～50% 0.3 50%～80% 0.2 80%～100% 0.1

Assuming that the detected charging rate is 0.3mAh and the percentage of the charged electricity in the battery is 10% of the battery capacity, if it is necessary to determine the time it takes to fully charge 80% of the battery, first determine the full battery (50%- 10%), assuming T1, and then determine the time it takes to fully charge the battery (80%-50%) based on 0.2mAh, assuming T2, then the time it takes to fully charge 80% of the battery is (T1+ T2).

Optionally, when the searched charging rate is not equal to the detected charging rate, determine the ratio of the searched charging rate to the detected charging rate; re-determine the charging rate in the charging rate table according to the determined ratio, and according to the detected charging rate As well as the charge rate in the re-determined charge rate table, determine the time it takes to fully and/or partially charge the remaining capacity of the battery. Specifically, the charging rate in the re-determined charging rate table refers to the charging rate involved in determining the time it takes to fully and/or partially charge the remaining capacity of the battery. For example, referring to Table 1, assuming that the detected charging rate is 0.28mAh and the percentage of the charge in the battery is 10% of the battery capacity, if it is necessary to determine the time it takes to fully charge the battery to 80% of the charge, then determine the searched charging rate The ratio of the charging rate to the detected charging rate is 0.3/0.28, and then according to the ratio (0.3/0.28) and the charging rate (0.2mAh) when the original charge of the battery accounts for 50% to 80% of the battery capacity. Determine the charging rate in the charging rate table: 0.2/(0.3/0.28)=0.187mAh, and finally determine the time it takes to fully charge 80% of the battery according to the new charging rate.

Step S14, displaying the time it takes to fully and/or partially charge the remaining capacity of the battery, and displaying the percentage of the amount of electricity charged into the battery to the battery capacity when the remaining capacity of the battery is fully and/or partially charged.

As shown in Figure 2, assuming that it takes 0.32 hours to fully charge the remaining (100%) capacity of the battery, and 0.12 hours to fully charge the remaining (80%) capacity of the battery, the following information can be displayed on the screen of the mobile terminal: countdown 0.1280 %;0.32100%

In this way, the user can judge according to the displayed information that it will take 12 minutes to fully charge the battery to 80%, and it will take another 32 minutes to fully charge the battery to 100%.

Optionally, when displaying the time it takes to fully and/or partially fill the remaining capacity of the battery, and when displaying the remaining capacity of the fully and/or partially full battery, the percentage of the amount of electricity charged into the battery to the battery capacity includes:

Displays the current charge of the battery.

Further, the displaying the amount of electricity that has been charged into the battery specifically includes:

Graphically display the proportional relationship between the current charged battery power and the uncharged battery power. Graphically display the proportional relationship between the electric quantity that is currently charged into the battery and the electric quantity that is not charged into the battery, so that the user can obtain corresponding information more intuitively. As shown in Fig. 3, in Fig. 3, the screen of the mobile terminal displays the proportion relationship (10%) between the electric quantity that has been charged into the battery and the electric quantity that is not charged into the battery at present, and at the same time, it also displays the remaining capacity of the fully charged battery (100%) 0.32 time elapsed, and 0.12 time elapsed to display the remaining capacity of a fully charged battery (80%). Wherein, the time 0.12 for displaying the remaining capacity of the fully charged battery (80%) is only an example. In actual situations, the time consumed for displaying other percentages of the remaining capacity of the fully charged battery can also be set, which is not limited here.

In this step, it is also possible to directly display the proportional relationship between the electric quantity that is currently charged in the battery and the electric quantity that is not charged in the battery in text, which is not limited here.

In the first embodiment of the present invention, the amount of electricity that has been charged into the battery is detected, and the remaining capacity of the battery is determined according to the detection result, and then the charging rate is detected, and the consumption of the remaining capacity of the fully and/or partially charged battery is determined according to the remaining capacity of the battery and the charging rate. Time, finally displays the time it takes to fully and/or partially charge the remaining capacity of the battery, and, when displaying the remaining capacity of the fully and/or partially charged battery, the percentage of charge to the battery as a percentage of the battery capacity. Since it shows the time it takes to fully and/or partially fill the remaining capacity of the battery, and when the remaining capacity of the battery is fully and/or partially full, the percentage of the charge into the battery to the battery capacity is displayed, so that the user can obtain an effective information to determine how much power the battery has charged at a certain time.

It should be understood that in the embodiment of the present invention, the sequence numbers of the above-mentioned processes do not mean the order of execution, and the execution order of each process should be determined by its function and internal logic, rather than the implementation process of the embodiment of the present invention. constitute any limitation.
