Here, the size of the first device may determine the output power of the energy emitting end of the first device, so theoretically, the larger the size of the first device, the larger the output power, and the faster the charging speed of the second device. As shown in equation (one):
Wherein, P r is the received power, P t is the transmitted power, G t is the power gain of the transmitting antenna, G r is the power gain of the receiving antenna, D is the distance between the transmitter and the receiver in meters, and lambda is the wavelength in meters, which is equal to 300/fMHz. The received power is a function of the square of the wavelength. Thus, the lower the frequency, the greater the received power. Whereas the first device is bulky, P t and G t would be large. Therefore, the application can increase the energy transmitting power of the transmitting end (the first equipment end) by utilizing the advantage of large volume of the first equipment without adding other extra components.

That is, the first device may also detect a current usage state of other antennas in the first device, and if the detection result indicates that the first device has a target antenna in an idle state, control the antenna array plane on the first component and the target antenna in the first device to transmit energy signals simultaneously based on the energy transmission parameter. In this way, the power consumption of the first device can be reduced.
Here, the position of the target antenna is different from the position of the antenna array plane on the first component.

Fig. 8 is a schematic structural diagram of a second apparatus according to the present application, and as shown in fig. 8, the second apparatus 800 includes:
The device comprises a body 801, an energy harvesting module 802, a controller 803, and a battery 804, wherein the energy harvesting module 802 is configured to receive an energy signal transmitted by a first device, and to charge the battery 804 based on the energy signal.
Here, the second device may establish a communication connection with the first device within a predetermined range through a bluetooth protocol or a WIFI protocol, and the controller 803 may control the second device to transmit the energy demand information to the first device based on the communication connection. The energy demand information includes, but is not limited to, at least one of quantity state information, battery load information, energy power parameters. The energy harvesting module 802 may receive an energy signal transmitted by the first component of the first device based on the energy demand information, through which the battery 804 may be charged.
Here, the first component is a protective shell, a protective cover, a bracket, etc. for protecting and/or supporting the first device.
The antenna array plane on the first component can traverse all antenna beams in the beam forming network and send energy signals to the second device before the first device starts to charge the second device, and when the energy signals are received by the energy collecting module 802 in the second device, the controller 803 can determine a wave position point with maximum beam efficiency and maximum energy power in the energy signals, and the second device is controlled to send the wave position point with maximum beam efficiency to the first device through a bluetooth protocol or a WIFI protocol. So that the first device transmits an energy signal to the second device based on the wave position point where the beam efficiency is the greatest.
In the present application, the second device may have a first antenna unit 805, and the energy signal transmitted by the first device may be received through the first antenna unit 805.
Here, the first antenna unit 805 may be an antenna for data transmission where the second device is originally present, that is, the energy collecting module 802 may be multiplexed with an antenna that is originally present in the second device, thereby reducing antenna costs.
Here, the first antenna unit 8025 may transmit the same frequency signal as the transmitting end in the first device.
In the present application, the energy collecting module 802 may include a matching circuit 8021, a rectifying circuit 8022, a load circuit 8023 and a controller 8024, and when an energy signal emitted by a first device is received through a first antenna unit 805 in a second device 800, the energy signal may enter the rectifying circuit 8022 as much as possible through the matching circuit 8021, and then the energy signal may be converted into a direct current signal required by a battery 804 through the rectifying circuit 8022, and then the direct current signal may enter the battery 804 through the load circuit 8023.
In one implementation, the controller 803 may determine that the second device is currently in a worn state, or in an off state with a charging assembly for charging the second device, based on a current usage state of the second device, control the first antenna unit 805 to switch from the first pathway to the second pathway such that the first antenna unit 805 establishes a communication connection with the first device through the second pathway.
For example, the second device is a bluetooth headset, the charging component for charging the bluetooth headset may be a headset box, and when the bluetooth headset is not in the headset box, the bluetooth headset is determined to be in a use state, and when the bluetooth headset is in the headset box, the bluetooth headset is determined to be in a charging state. Or detecting a current sound signal of the Bluetooth headset, and if the current sound signal is detected, indicating that the Bluetooth headset is outputting sound, and representing that the Bluetooth headset is in a use state.
Here, when the first antenna unit 8025 is multiplexed, a switching circuit 806 may be further included in the second device 800, and the switching circuit 806 is controlled to switch the first antenna unit 805 between the first path and the second path.
As shown in fig. 9, in the present application, the energy collecting module 802 may also include a second antenna unit 8025 with a specific frequency, and when the controller 803 determines that the second device is currently in a use state (in a wearing state or in a disconnected state from the charging assembly) according to a current use state of the second device, the second antenna unit 8025 is controlled to be enabled, so that the second antenna unit 8025 establishes a communication connection with the first device through a bluetooth protocol or a WIFI protocol.
