Summary of the invention
The present invention, just based on the problems referred to above, proposes a kind of new technical scheme, can when the trickle charge time time-out of terminal, timely prompting user, so that user takes appropriate measures, avoid the normal use procedure affecting user, contribute to the experience promoting user.
In view of this, the present invention proposes a kind of charge prompting device, comprising: state confirmation unit, for confirming that terminal starts charging; Time judging unit, for judging whether the trickle charge time of described terminal reaches default time threshold; Charging control unit, for when the described trickle charge time has reached described default time threshold, has generated overtime information.
In this technical scheme, by controlling the charging interval, when making the trickle charge time of terminal arrive the time threshold preset, generating information, making user can recognize current charged state in time on the one hand, avoiding reducing user's experience; Make user can take corresponding treatment measures in time on the other hand, such as stop high power applications such as playing games.
Comparatively preferably, terminal can stop charging after a time out automatically, the charging interval can be avoided long and affect the performance of end cell.Thus by carrying out time-out prompting to user, make user can understand current charged state, thus continue to charge (now enter trickle charge next time, and restart timing) after such as again plugging charger.
In technique scheme, preferably, described charging control unit also for: when the described trickle charge time has reached described default time threshold, if the electricity of described terminal is not yet full of, then confirm instruction according to the charging received, control described terminal and continue charging.
In this technical scheme, user, by checking overtime information, can directly select to continue charging, namely sends charging and confirms instruction; And terminal can be checked the current electric quantity of self, make terminal continue charging when electricity underfill, thus realize balance between safe charging and good experience.
In technique scheme, preferably, described charging control unit also for: if before the described trickle charge time reaches described default time threshold, the electricity of described terminal is full of, then control described terminal stop charging.
In this technical scheme, if in the time threshold preset, because user does not use the electric energy of terminal or consumption less, make before the trickle charge time not yet arrives default time threshold, the electricity of terminal is full of, then directly can stop continuing charging to terminal, contribute to the saving of electric energy on the one hand, avoid causing damage to end cell on the other hand.
In above-mentioned arbitrary technical scheme, preferably, described charging control unit also for: in arbitrary trickle charge process, if the electricity of described terminal drops to and is less than or equal to default minimum electricity after stopping charging, then restart the charging operations to described terminal.
In this technical scheme, because terminal exists the possibility automatically stopping charging, if then long the or user of terminal standby time uses terminal and consumes the electric energy of end cell, the dump energy of end cell is caused to be down to lower (being such as less than or equal to default minimum electricity), the follow-up use of terminal may be affected, then by resetting automatically to the charging operations of terminal, terminal battery electricity quantity can be supplemented in time, reducing the impact of the use continuation on terminal.
In technique scheme, preferably, described trickle charge process specifically comprises: one continuous time section, described one continuous time section be connected to the time point of external power source with described terminal for the time started, and to disconnect with the time point of the connection of described external power source for the termination time with described terminal.
In this technical scheme, when terminal is connected to external power source by user at every turn, all give expression to the wish that it wishes to charge to terminal, and when terminal and external power source disconnect by user, such as extract charger or terminal is separated with charger, then have expressed the wish that user does not wish to continue charging to a certain extent.Therefore, from terminal is connected to external power source by user, to terminal and external power source disconnect by it, all show the wish that user wishes to carry out continuing to terminal charging, can in each similar continuous time section, realize the charge prompting to terminal and control, meet the applied mental of user, contribute to the experience promoting user.
The invention allows for a kind of charge prompting method, comprising: confirm that terminal starts charging; Judge whether the trickle charge time of described terminal reaches default time threshold; If so, overtime information is then generated.

As shown in Figure 3, process of carrying out pointing out and control in terminal charge process according to an embodiment of the invention comprises:
Step 302, terminal access external power source.Particularly, such as terminal is connected to civil power by charger, or is such as connected to portable power source etc.
Step 304, judges whether terminal has been provided with charge protection prompting function, namely when the charge protection time arrive, automatically stop to terminal charging operations time, carry out active warning to user.
If do not arrange, step 306 can be entered and arrange, if arrange, then enter step 308.
Step 306, user can arrange charge protection prompting function, and the concrete alerting pattern selecting to wish to use, such as jingle bell, vibration, breath light flicker, photoflash lamp flicker etc.
Step 308, judges whether be provided with the charge protection time in terminal, if do not arrange, can enter step 310 and arrange, if arrange, directly can enter step 312.
Step 310, user according to self-demand, can arrange charge protection prompting function.Particularly, such as when user wishes the useful life extending end cell, can be set, such as 3 hours or other times length the shorter charge protection time; Such as when user wishes to reduce the frequency be affected, can be set, such as 9 hours or other times length the longer charge protection time.
Step 312, starts timer and starts to charge to terminal.
Step 314, judges that whether the timer in terminal is overtime, until after time-out, enters step 316.
Step 316, stop timer, stop simultaneously to terminal continue charging and remind to user, make user recognize current due to the charging interval long, stopped charging to end cell, be convenient to user and take further measures.
Step 318, judges whether terminal disconnects the connection with external power source, namely whether is in trickle charge process.If disconnect, then process ends; If do not disconnect, be then still in same continuous print charging process, enter step 320.
Step 320, whether the dump energy judging end cell lower than the power threshold preset (such as 15% or other ratios), if so, then returns step 312, restarts timer and charge, avoid the follow-up use affecting user; If not, then return step 318.
More than be described with reference to the accompanying drawings technical scheme of the present invention, the present invention proposes a kind of charge prompting device and a kind of charge prompting method, can when the trickle charge time time-out of terminal, timely prompting user, so that user takes appropriate measures, avoid the normal use procedure affecting user, contribute to the experience promoting user.
