technical field

The present invention relates to automatic charging technology, in particular to a method, charger, server and system for realizing charging.

Background technique

With the popularity of smart terminals, unattended smart terminals are widely used in various scenarios such as mobile application testing, network testing, and smart homes. Smart terminals can perform various tasks without relying on human operations. At the same time, the problem of how to charge the smart terminal in an unattended scene needs to be solved urgently. There are two traditional charging methods:

The terminal remains powered on and does not operate when the terminal battery is fully charged. Although the implementation is simple and does not require human intervention, the terminal battery will continue to be continuously charged after it is fully charged, which will cause energy waste and greater damage to the terminal battery, and continuous charging will cause the smart terminal to continue to release heat, causing a potential safety hazard.

In a preferred embodiment, establishing the first communication connection between the charger and the server includes: establishing the first communication connection in a wired and/or wireless manner;

Establishing the second communication connection between the terminal and the server includes: establishing the second communication connection in a wired and/or wireless manner.

In a preferred embodiment, establishing the first communication connection between the charger and the server includes:

When the terminal is electrically connected to a charging subunit in the charger, and the terminal is charged by the charging subunit, a first communication connection is established and maintained between each charging subunit of the charger and the server.

According to the received terminal battery power information, combined with the current state of the charging sub-unit corresponding to the terminal, it is judged whether the current terminal needs to perform charging or power-off operation, so as to issue a charging or power-off command to each sub-unit of the charger . It will not be limited by the number of terminals, save energy and protect the terminal circuit.

The embodiments of this application relate to how to obtain the terminal power. The terminal is connected to the server in a wired and/or wireless manner, each terminal periodically or aperiodically reports the terminal battery power to the server, and the server performs corresponding operations according to the terminal power. The following describes the periodic and aperiodic acquisition of the battery power of the terminal by the server.

There are multiple implementations for the terminal to periodically report the battery level message to the server. In a preferred embodiment, in step 22, receiving the battery level message from the terminal through the second communication connection includes:

When the terminal periodically reports power, select:

Mode 1, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 , the terminal determines the power reporting period T1, and receives the battery power message reported by the terminal according to the power reporting period; wherein:

Mode 2, as shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6, or, determine the power reporting period of the terminal and send it to the terminal, and the terminal performs periodic reporting according to the power reporting period sent by the server;

And, in the third way, or, periodically acquiring the battery power information of the terminal.

Among them, in the first mode, the process of the terminal is shown in Figure 3, and the process of the server is shown in Figure 4. The terminal determines the power reporting period and reports it to the server, including:

On the terminal side, the built-in application of the terminal determines the power reporting period T1, and can choose to report the power reporting period T1 to the server or not to the server. If the terminal reports the power reporting period T1 to the server, it sends a terminal battery power reporting period message to the server. Y2, the server selects to receive the terminal battery power reporting period message Y2 of the corresponding terminal according to the period T1, after that, the terminal periodically sends the battery power message Y1 with the power reporting period T1 as the period;

If the terminal does not report the power reporting period T1 through the terminal battery power reporting period message Y2, the terminal sends the battery power message Y1 periodically with the power reporting period T1 as the period, and then executes the remaining functional steps. The server receives the battery level message Y1 by monitoring in real time.

Mode 2, the processes on the terminal side and the server side are shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6 respectively. The server determines the terminal power reporting period and sends it to the terminal, including:

The terminal side receives the terminal battery power reporting period message Y3 sent by the server. If the terminal has received the terminal battery power reporting period message Y3, it sends a battery power message to the server with a period T2 according to the terminal battery power reporting period message Y3. Y4, otherwise, request the terminal battery power reporting period message Y3 to the server.

The server side determines the battery power reporting period T2, sends a terminal battery power reporting period indication message Y3 to the terminal, and monitors the terminal battery power message Y4 with the battery power reporting period T2.

The period T2 for reporting the power is sent to a specific terminal in a wired and/or wireless manner, and the terminal periodically reports the power according to the period T2 for reporting the power of the battery sent by the server.

It should be noted that: in the first mode and the second mode, different terminals can be configured with different reporting periods.

The third method, the server periodically obtains the battery power of the terminal includes:

The server determines the reporting period T1 for the terminal to report the battery power, but does not send it to the terminal. Instead, it sends a battery power reporting request to the terminal according to this period T1 to periodically obtain the terminal power. After the terminal receives the battery power reporting request sent by the server Report its battery level.

There are also multiple implementation manners for the terminal to report the battery level aperiodically. In a preferred embodiment, receiving the battery level message from the terminal through the second communication connection includes:

When the terminal reports power aperiodically, select:

As shown in Figure 7, the server requests the terminal to report the battery level message;

As shown in FIG. 8 , or, the battery power message actively reported by the terminal is received.

Among them, as shown in Figure 7, the server requesting the terminal to report includes:

The server sends the terminal battery power report request Y5 as needed. After receiving the terminal battery power report request Y5 sent by the server, the terminal sends its battery power message Y6 to the server, and the server receives the battery power message Y6.

As shown in FIG. 8 , the terminal actively reporting battery power includes: when the terminal meets certain conditions, judging that the battery power needs to be reported, the terminal sends its battery power message Y7 to the server, and the server receives the battery power message Y7 and executes subsequent functions.

Combining periodic and aperiodic reporting of terminal battery power: In order to reduce the interaction between the terminal and the server, when the terminal battery power is higher than a certain threshold, because the battery power is relatively high at this time, it is not necessary to frequently The power level is reported, so when it is higher than a certain threshold, the terminal can choose not to report the power level or lengthen the reporting period to reduce the interaction with the server.

The server performs charging and power-off operations. The server judges whether the current terminal needs to perform charging or power-off operations according to the received terminal battery power information and the current state of the charging sub-unit corresponding to the terminal. The unit issues charging or power-off commands.

In order to protect the terminal battery, in a preferred embodiment, step 23, according to the battery level message and the state of the charger, issue a charging instruction or a power-off instruction to the charger, including:

In the present invention, the server can support independent control of the charging and discharging of each terminal.

Specifically, since the charger allocates a separate sub-unit to each terminal, that is, each terminal corresponds to a sub-unit of the charger, the server can independently control each charging sub-unit, so that according to the different states of different terminals Perform separate charging and discharging operations, so:

When the terminal is in a charging state and the battery power of the terminal is higher than the upper limit of power D1, the server decides to power off the charging sub-unit according to the battery power message Y1 reported by the terminal and the state of the charging sub-unit charger;

When the terminal is in a power-off state, the charging sub-unit does not charge the terminal, and the battery of the terminal is consumed below the lower limit D2 of power, the terminal decides whether to charge the terminal according to the battery power message Y1 reported by the terminal and the state of the charging sub-unit corresponding to the terminal. The charging operation is performed, that is, the server controls the corresponding charging sub-unit to perform the charging operation.

In order to describe the inventive idea of the present invention in detail, in the following, in different embodiments, the power-off process and the charging process are respectively described.

Regarding the power-off process, the conditions for the server to perform a power-off operation on the terminal n are: the charging sub-unit n is in a charging state; and the terminal battery power reaches the power upper limit D1.

In a preferred embodiment, step 23, according to the battery level message and the state of the charger, issue a charging instruction or a power-off instruction to the charger, including:

As shown in FIG. 9 , when the terminal is in a charging state and the battery level is higher than the upper limit D1 of the battery level, the power-off operation is determined according to the battery level message reported by the terminal and the state of the charger, and a power-off command is sent to the charger. ;

As shown in FIG. 10 , when the terminal is in a power-off state and the battery power is lower than the lower power limit D2, the charging operation is determined according to the battery power message reported by the terminal and the status of the charger, and a charging instruction is sent to the charger.

In order to protect the battery of the terminal, an upper limit of power D1 is designed. When the power of the terminal is higher than the upper limit of power D1, the server sends a power-off command to perform a power-off operation.

There are several ways to configure the battery upper limit D1:

Mode i: The server determines the upper power limit D1 and sends it to the terminal, and different terminals can be configured with the same or different upper power limit D1.

Mode ii: The terminal built-in application determines the upper power limit D1 and reports it to the server, and different terminals can be configured with the same or different power upper limit D1.

Mode iii: Both the terminal and the server use the same default configuration and do not need to interact with each other. When changes are required, mode i or mode ii is adopted.

In practical applications, the terminal may need to be forcibly powered off. Regarding the process of forcibly powering off, when some terminals need to be forcibly powered off, in a preferred embodiment, it also includes entering a forced power-off mode, including:

Receive a forced power-off request from the terminal, issue a forced power-off instruction to the terminal, and the terminal enters the forced power-off mode according to the forced power-off instruction;

Directly send a forced power-off command to the charger, and the charger stops charging the terminal.

Specifically, there are two ways to enter the forced power-off mode:

Mode 1: The terminal requests the server to perform a forced power-off, and the server sends a forced-power-off command to the terminal after receiving the request, and the terminal enters the forced-power-off mode. When charging is required, perform a forced charging operation or perform an action to exit the forced power-off mode.

Mode 2: The server directly sends a power-off command to the charger, and the corresponding one or more charging sub-units perform a power-off operation, and the terminal enters the forced power-off mode. When charging is required, the forced charging operation is performed or the forced power-off mode is exited. Actions.

When the terminal is in the forced power-off mode, in order to charge the terminal, it is necessary to exit the forced power-off mode when necessary. In a preferred embodiment, it also includes exiting the forced power-off mode, including:

Mode 1: The lower limit of power D2 takes effect. When the power of the terminal reaches the lower limit of power D2, it will automatically exit the forced power-off mode.

Mode 2: The terminal sends a request to the server to exit the forced power-off mode, and the server exits the forced-power-off mode after receiving the request, and executes the normal charging and power-off process;

Method 3: The server sends an instruction to exit the forced power-off mode, and executes the normal charging and power-off process.

Regarding the charging process, the conditions for the server to perform the charging operation on the terminal n are: 1) the charging subunit n is in an uncharged state; 2) the terminal battery power reaches the lower limit D2 of power.

As shown in FIG. 10, in a preferred embodiment, step 23, according to the battery level message and the state of the charger, issue a charging instruction or a power-off instruction to the charger, including:

When the terminal is in a power-off state, that is, the charging sub-unit is in a power-off state, after the server obtains the power of the terminal, it determines whether the power of the terminal is lower than the lower power limit D2. The corresponding charging sub-unit starts charging, that is, the terminal starts charging; if it is not lower than the lower limit D2 of the electric quantity, the terminal is kept in a power-off state.

The configuration method of the lower power limit D2:

Mode i: The server determines the lower power limit D2 and sends it to the terminal, and different terminals can be configured with the same or different lower power limit D2.

Mode ii: The terminal built-in application determines the lower power limit D2 and reports it to the server, and different terminals can be configured with the same or different power lower limit D2.

Mode iii: Both the terminal and the server use the same default configuration and do not need to interact with each other. When changes are required, mode i or mode ii is adopted.

In practical applications, it may be necessary to forcibly charge the terminal. When some terminals need to be forcedly charged, there are two methods for the forced charging process. In a preferred embodiment, it also includes entering the forced charging process. Charging modes, including:

Receive a forced charging request from the terminal, issue a forced charging instruction to the terminal, and the terminal will enter the forced charging mode according to the forced charging instruction;

The server directly issues a forced charging instruction to the charger, and the charger charges the terminal.

Mode 1: The terminal requests the server to perform forced charging. After receiving the request, the server sends a forced charging instruction, and the terminal enters the forced charging mode. When a power failure is required, a forced power-off operation or an action of exiting the forced charging mode is performed.

Mode 2: The server directly sends a charging instruction to the charger, and the corresponding one or more charging sub-units perform the charging operation, and the terminal enters the forced charging mode. .

When the terminal is in the forced charging mode, in order to protect the terminal battery, it is necessary to exit the forced charging mode at an appropriate time. There are at least three ways. In a preferred embodiment, it also includes exiting the forced charging mode. Exiting the forced charging mode includes:

When the power of the terminal reaches the upper limit of power D1, the terminal automatically exits the forced charging mode;

or,

After receiving a request from the terminal to exit the forced charging mode, the terminal is instructed to exit the forced charging mode.

Specifically, exiting forced charging mode includes:

Mode 1: The power upper limit D1 takes effect. When the terminal power reaches the power limit D1, it automatically exits the forced charging mode.

Mode 2: The terminal sends a request to the server to exit the forced charging mode, and the server exits the forced charging mode after receiving the request, and executes the normal charging and power-off process.

Method 3: The server sends an instruction to exit the forced charging mode, and executes the normal charging and power-off process.

In a scenario where hundreds of smart terminals are used for automatic charging and power-off, as shown in Figure 11, all smart terminals are controlled by the server through wireless connection, and each smart terminal is connected to a charging circuit board through a USB cable. A charging port is used for charging, and the charging circuit board is connected to the server through a wired connection, and is controlled by the server to perform charging and power-off operations.

When it is found that the terminal 1 in the system needs to be fully charged and maintained for a period of time, the server sends a forced charging command to the charging circuit board. After the circuit board receives the command, it keeps the charging state of the charging port 1 until it receives the server. The Exit Forced Charge Mode command.

When it is found that the terminal 1 needs to run out of power, the server sends a forced power-off command to the charging circuit board. After the circuit board receives the forced power-off command, it keeps the power-off state of the charging port 1 until it receives the exit from the server. Forced power down mode command.

This process specifically includes:

1. Report battery power in an aperiodic manner:

When the server needs to obtain battery power, the server sends a power generation report request, and the terminal reports the power after receiving the server request.

When the power of the terminal reaches the configured upper power limit D1 and lower power limit D2, the terminal actively reports the power and requests the server to perform charging or power-off operations.

2. Configure the upper limit D1 and lower limit D2 of the battery:

The server configures the upper power limit D1 and the lower power limit D2 and notifies the terminal.

3. Power-off process:

Taking terminal 1 as an example, when terminal 1 is in the charging state, if the battery power is higher than the upper limit of power D1, the terminal will actively report the power to the server and request power off, and the server will send the power to the charging circuit board after receiving the power reported by terminal 1. Power-off command, instructing the charging circuit board to disconnect the power supply of charging port 1, and the terminal is in the process of power-off.

Fourth, the charging process:

Taking terminal 1 as an example, when terminal 1 is in the process of power failure, if the battery power is lower than the lower limit of power D2, the terminal actively reports the power to the server and requests charging, and the server receives the power reported by terminal 1 and sends it to the charging circuit board.
