Fig. 1 schematically illustrates an application scenario of a timing method of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
It should be noted that fig. 1 is only an example of a scenario in which the embodiments of the present disclosure may be applied to help those skilled in the art understand the technical content of the present disclosure, but does not mean that the embodiments of the present disclosure may not be applied to other devices, systems, environments or scenarios.
As shown in fig. 1, the electronic device 100 may include a battery assembly 110, a real-time clock 120, and a controller 130. The battery pack 110 is provided with a counter 111.
According to the disclosed embodiment, the electronic device 100 may be various electronic devices having a battery assembly 110, including but not limited to smart phones, tablet computers, laptop portable computers, notebook computers, and the like.
In the disclosed embodiment, the battery assembly 110 may be used to store power, and the electronic device may be powered by the stored power. For example, the battery assembly 110 may be a battery module in a notebook computer, and may provide electric energy to the notebook computer to maintain the normal operation of the notebook computer when the notebook computer is not connected to an external power source.
According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the battery assembly 110 may have, for example, a battery chip, and the battery chip may include functional components such as a register and/or a counter. For example, the battery assembly 110 may be internally provided with a counter 111.
In the disclosed embodiment, the real-time clock 120 may be, for example, an integrated circuit that provides an accurate real-time reference for the electronic device. The battery assembly 110 may provide power to the real-time clock 120 so that the real-time clock 120 may operate normally, thereby providing accurate time information for the electronic device. For example, when the electronic device is in a power-off state, the battery assembly 110 may provide power to the real-time clock 120, so that when the electronic device is powered on again, the real-time clock 120 may feed back accurate time to the electronic device to facilitate normal operation of the electronic device.
According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, the controller 130 may be, for example, an Embedded Controller (EC) in a notebook computer. The battery assembly 110 may provide power to the controller 130 so that the controller 130 may operate normally. For example, the battery assembly 110 may provide power to the controller 130 when the electronic device is in a power-off state, so that the controller 130 can respond to a power-on request of a user, and the like.
It can be understood that, in order to ensure that the RTC can provide accurate real-time information for the electronic device, the RTC needs to be always powered on, and once the RTC is powered off, the RTC cannot continue to provide accurate time for the electronic device.
However, when the power stored in the battery pack is insufficient or the D-FET switch of the battery pack is turned off, the RTC cannot be continuously supplied with power. After the electronic device is powered on again, the RTC cannot directly provide accurate time information for the electronic device, which may cause some functions of the electronic device to fail to operate normally due to inaccurate system time.
In view of this, the present disclosure provides a timing method for an electronic device, which can implement a timing function through a counter 111 in a battery assembly 110, and even when a D-FET switch of the battery assembly is turned off, the battery assembly can still supply power to internal components thereof, so as to ensure that accurate time information can be provided for the electronic device, and thus, normal operation of the electronic device is ensured. For example, in response to the electronic device entering the working state, it is first determined whether the battery assembly is switched from the first mode to the second mode, so that it can be determined whether the real-time clock RTC is powered off. In the case that the battery assembly is switched from the first mode to the second mode, the RTC may be considered to be powered off, the first time information may be obtained from the counter 111, and the system time of the electronic device may be determined based on the first time information. Otherwise, the RTC may be considered to be not powered off and always work normally, and the second time information may be obtained from the real-time clock 120, and the second time information is used as the system time of the electronic device. When the battery assembly 110 is in the second mode, it can supply power to the external electronic device, for example, the RTC can be powered to maintain the RTC working normally. When the battery assembly 110 is in the first mode, no power is supplied to the external electronic device, for example, no power is supplied to the RTC, and only power is supplied to its internal components (for example, the counter 111).
Fig. 2A schematically shows a flow chart of a timing method of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
As shown in fig. 2A, the method includes operations S201 to S203.
In operation S201, in response to the electronic device entering an operating state, it is determined whether the power reserve unit is switched from the first mode to the second mode.
According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, the electronic device may include a power storage component, and the power storage component may be configured to store power, and may supply power to the electronic device through the stored power. The power storage unit may be provided with a first timing unit, and the first timing unit may be a functional element such as a register or a counter.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the electronic device may further include a second timing component. The second timing means may be, for example, a real time clock RTC. The second timing component may be, for example, an external electronic device of the power storage component, and the power storage component may provide power for the RTC, so that the RTC can operate normally, thereby providing accurate time information for the electronic device.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, when the power reserve component is in the first mode, the power reserve component does not supply power to the external electronic device. For example, the first mode may be a transportation mode of the electrical energy storage component. The first mode of the power reserve component may be a mode in which the D-FET switch of the power reserve component is off, and at this time, the power reserve component only supplies power to its internal electronic device, but does not want to supply power to the external electronic device. For example, when the D-FET switch of the power reserve unit is in the off state, the power reserve unit supplies power only to the first timing unit, and does not supply power to the second timing unit.
In another embodiment of the present disclosure, when the power storage component is in the second mode, the power storage component can supply power to the external electronic device. For example, the second mode may be a normal mode of the power reserve component. The second mode of the power reserve component may be when the D-FET switch of the power reserve component is in an open state, at which time the power reserve component may supply power to its internal electronics and external electronics. For example, the power reserve component may provide power to the first timing component and the second timing component when the D-FET switch of the power reserve component is in an open state.
According to the embodiment of the disclosure, in response to the electronic device entering the working state, it may be determined whether the power storage component is switched from the first mode to the second mode, so that it may be determined whether the RTC is powered all the time and whether accurate time information is recorded. For example, in response to the electronic device being turned on, it is determined whether a D-FET switch of the power storage component is switched from an off state to an on state, and if so, it indicates that the power storage component has entered a transportation mode, in this process, the power storage component cannot provide power for the RTC, and the RTC cannot operate normally, otherwise, it indicates that the power storage component has not entered the transportation mode, in this process, the power storage component may always provide power for the RTC, and the RTC may operate normally.
In operation S202, in a case where the power reserve part is switched from the first mode to the second mode, first time information is acquired from the first timing part, and a system time of the electronic device is determined based on the first time information.
According to the embodiment of the disclosure, when the power storage component is switched from the first mode to the second mode, the electronic device may be considered to enter the transportation mode, and in the process, the power storage component cannot provide power for the RTC and only can provide power for the first timing component inside the power storage component. Therefore, when the electronic device is powered on again, the RTC cannot provide accurate time information, and at this time, the first time information can be acquired from the first timing component, and the system time of the electronic device can be determined based on the first time information.
In the disclosed embodiment, the electronic device may further include a controller, for example, an embedded controller EC. The EC may acquire, in response to the electronic device satisfying a preset condition, system time of the electronic device as system exit time, and control the first timing unit to start operating. For example, in response to the electronic device entering the sleep state from the operating state, the EC may acquire the current time of the system as the system exit time and control the first timing unit to start operating. Alternatively, in response to the electronic device entering a shutdown state (e.g., shutdown) from the operating state, the EC may acquire the current time of the system as a system exit time, and control the first timing unit to start operating. Still alternatively, the EC may further acquire the current time of the system as the system exit time and control the first timing component to start operating in response to the electric energy storage component entering the first mode from the second mode (for example, directly controlling the electronic device to enter the transportation mode from the operating mode). Still alternatively, the EC may further acquire the current time of the system as a system exit time and control the first timing unit to start operating in response to the remaining power of the power reserve unit being lower than a preset threshold (e.g., 3%). It can be understood that the time of the EC recording system and the time of controlling the first timing component to start working are not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure, and those skilled in the art can set the time according to actual situations.
According to the embodiment of the disclosure, the EC may record the acquired system exit time in the ROM of the electronic device for storage.
According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, the EC may control the first timing part to start operating, for example, to start counting from an initial value.
In the disclosed embodiment, the EC may acquire the first time information from the first timing unit and the stored system exit time from the ROM in response to the electronic device entering an operating state (e.g., power on), and determine the system time of the current time of the electronic device based on the first time information and the system exit time. For example, the count value in the first timing component may be converted into a time difference value, the time difference value is added to the system exit time to obtain the current time of the system, and the current time is returned to the system, so that the electronic device obtains relatively accurate time information to maintain the normal operation of the electronic device.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the first timing unit may stop operating in response to the electronic device entering the operating state, and the EC may obtain the count value from the first timing unit. Thereby ensuring the accuracy of time and saving electric energy.
In another embodiment of the present disclosure, after the EC acquires the first time information from the first timing component, the first timing component may be controlled to stop timing, so that the accuracy of time may be ensured, and electric energy may be saved.
According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, the count value of the first timing section may be set to an initial value after the EC acquires the first time information from the first timing section. Alternatively, the count value of the first timing section may be set to the initial value in the case where the power reserve section is not switched from the first mode to the second mode. The embodiment of the present disclosure may set the count value of the first timing section to an initial value after determining that the count value of the first timing section has been acquired or after determining that the count value of the first timing section does not need to be used, so that the EC may control the first timing section to start timing from the initial value in response to the electronic apparatus satisfying the preset condition the next time.
In operation S203, in a case where the power storage unit is not switched from the first mode to the second mode, second time information is acquired from the second timing unit, and the second time information is used as a system time of the electronic device.
According to the embodiment of the disclosure, when the power reserve component is not switched from the first mode to the second mode, it can be considered that the electronic device has not entered the transportation mode, and in the process, the power reserve component can provide power for the RTC, and the RTC can maintain normal operation. Therefore, when the electronic device is powered on again, the RTC can provide accurate time information for the system, and at this time, the second time information recorded by the RTC can be used as the system time of the electronic device.
The embodiment of the disclosure can provide relatively accurate system time for the electronic device through the first timing component in the electric energy storage component, thereby avoiding the problem that the normal operation of the electronic device is influenced due to inaccurate system time caused by the RTC power-off. In addition, a button battery does not need to be configured for the RTC to maintain the work of the RTC, the most electric energy does not need to be reserved for the RTC in an electric energy storage component, and the cost can be reduced.
Fig. 2B schematically illustrates a workflow diagram of a timing method of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
As shown in fig. 2B, according to the embodiment of the disclosure, the workflow in the dashed box 210 may be executed by a battery chip in the battery assembly, for example, and the workflow may correspond to a timing method when the electronic device enters a transportation mode at the time of factory shipment.
Specifically, the battery chip may detect whether the initial power-on time is 0 and whether the battery assembly is in the transportation mode, for example, every 1 s. If the initial power-on time is 0 and the battery assembly is in the transportation mode, the counter in the battery assembly is kept running (e.g., every 1s by 1 unit value). When it is detected that the initial startup time is not 0, it may indicate that the user has taken the electronic device from the factory and performed the first startup process, and at this time, the counter in the battery pack may be controlled to stop working, so that the EC may read the count value from the counter and set the counter to an initial value.
According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, the workflow in the dashed box 240 may be executed by the EC of the electronic device, for example, and the workflow may correspond to a timing method when the electronic device leaves a factory.
Specifically, when the electronic device leaves the factory, the instruction to enter the transportation mode may be executed, and then the EC may record the current system time a of the electronic device in the ROM and control the counter in the battery pack to start operating. When a user takes the electronic device and performs a first boot operation, it may be detected that the initial boot time is not 0, and then the EC may read the count value B from the counter, perform a recovery time algorithm (which may be used to convert a value in the counter into a time difference value, for example) to obtain a current time (a + B), and feed the current time back to the BIOS of the electronic device. The BIOS may update the time information into the RTC.
According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the workflow in the dashed box 220 may be performed by, for example, a battery chip in the battery assembly, and the workflow may correspond to, for example, a timing method when the electronic device enters a transportation mode during use.
Specifically, in the using process of the user, the counter in the battery pack may start timing work in response to the shutdown of the electronic device; and stopping working in response to the starting of the electronic equipment. The battery chip can judge whether the battery assembly exits from the transportation mode, if so, the transportation position alarms to indicate that the electronic equipment exits from the transportation mode, otherwise, the counting value in the counter is emptied, and the alarm is reset.
According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the workflow in the dashed box 230 may be performed by, for example, an EC of the electronic device, and the workflow may correspond to, for example, a timing method when the electronic device enters a transportation mode during use.
Specifically, during the use of the user, when the shutdown of the electronic device is detected, the EC sends a timing start instruction to the battery pack to start counting by a counter in the battery pack. Detecting that the electronic device is powered on, the EC determines whether the transport bit is alarming, and if the alarming indicates that the battery pack exits from the transport mode, the EC may read the count value from the counter and set the counter to an initial value. The EC may also execute a recovery time algorithm (which may be used, for example, to convert the value in the counter to a time difference value) to obtain the current time (a + B), and feed the time back to the BIOS of the electronic device. The BIOS may update the time information into the RTC.
The embodiment of the disclosure can provide relatively accurate system time for the electronic device through the counter in the battery pack, thereby avoiding the problem that the normal operation of the electronic device is influenced due to the fact that the RTC is powered off when the battery pack enters the transportation mode. In addition, a button battery does not need to be configured for the RTC to maintain the work of the RTC, the most electric energy does not need to be reserved for the RTC in an electric energy storage component, and the cost can be reduced.

The power reserve unit 310 is provided therein with a first timing unit.
The second timing part 320 is disposed outside the power reserve part 310.
In the case where power reserve unit 310 is switched from the first mode to the second mode, the system time of the electronic device is provided by the first timing unit, and in the case where the power reserve unit is not switched from the first mode to the second mode, the system time of the electronic device is provided by the second timing unit. When the electric energy storage component is in the second mode, the electric energy storage component can supply power to the external electronic device, and when the electric energy storage component is in the first mode, the electric energy storage component does not supply power to the external electronic device.
According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the electronic device 300 further includes a controller 330. The controller 330 is configured to, in response to the electronic device 300 meeting a preset condition, acquire a system time of the electronic device as a system exit time, and control the first timing component to start operating.
According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the preset condition may include: the electronic equipment enters a dormant state from a working state, or the electronic equipment enters a closed state from the working state, or the electric energy storage component enters a first mode from a second mode, or the residual electric energy of the electric energy storage component is lower than a preset threshold value.
According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the controller 330 may be further configured to determine a system time of the electronic device based on the first time information. For example, a system time of the electronic device is determined based on the first time information and the system exit time.
According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, the controller 330 is further configured to control the first timing component to stop operating in response to the electronic device entering the operating state.
According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, the controller 330 is further configured to set the count value of the first timing unit to an initial value after acquiring the first time information from the first timing unit.
According to the embodiment of the present disclosure, the controller 330 is further configured to set the count value of the first timing unit to an initial value if the power storage unit is not switched from the first mode to the second mode.
The embodiment of the disclosure can provide relatively accurate system time for the electronic device through the first timing component in the electric energy storage component, thereby avoiding the problem that the normal operation of the electronic device is influenced due to inaccurate system time caused by the RTC power-off. In addition, a button battery does not need to be configured for the RTC to maintain the work of the RTC, the most electric energy does not need to be reserved for the RTC in an electric energy storage component, and the cost can be reduced.
