An electronic equipment, a charger and a charging method are provided. The charging method includes that: a processor determines a type of a charger coupled with a physical charging interface through a communication control chip; when the charger is a preset charger, the processor sets a direct charging control switch into an ON state, and controls the charger to perform charging according to a first charging mode; and when the charger is not the preset charger, the processor sets the direct charging control switch into an OFF state, and performs charging through charging chips according to a second charging mode.

Electronic equipment, charger and charging method

A method of switching an apparatus state of a first apparatus having a first universal serial bus (USB) interface connected via a connecting wire with a second USB interface of a second apparatus is provided. The method may include receiving a state switching instruction, setting a level of a configuration channel (CC) in a USB interface circuit corresponding to the first USB interface from a first high level to a first low level via a logic controller of the first apparatus when the state switching instruction instructs the first apparatus to perform a master-to-slave switch, and setting the level of the CC in the USB interface circuit corresponding to the first USB interface from the first low level to the first high level via the logic controller of the first apparatus when the state switching instruction instructs the first apparatus to perform a slave-to-master switch.

Method and apparatus for switching state

A charging method is provided. The method includes: receiving a direction setting signal, and determining a charging direction according to the direction setting signal; determining a charging operation as charging a slave device with a master device when the charging direction is a first charging direction; determining the charging operation as charging the master device with the slave device when the charging direction is a second charging direction opposite to the first charging direction; and sending to a power management module of the master device and to a power management module of the slave device a charging instruction according to the charging operation determined. Accordingly, two smart devices connected through a connecting line may be charged by each other according to a user-defined charging direction.

Efficient two way charging method using master and slave devices

Methods and devices are disclosed for efficient power charging of a battery in one electronic device by another electronic device. In one embodiment, a method may include establishing an electrical connection between a first electronic device and a second electronic device; acquiring, by the second electronic device via the electrical connection, real-time charging voltage information of a battery in the first electronic device, wherein the real-time charging voltage information varies with a charge state of the battery in the first electronic device; and controlling by the second electronic device, during charging of the battery in the first electronic device by the second electronic device, an output voltage of the second electronic device to charge the battery of the first electronic device according to the real-time charging voltage information.

Method and device for charging batteries in mobile devices

The present disclosure relates to an electronic device and a data transmission system. A first electronic device includes a micro universal serial bus (USB) interface, a central processing unit (CPU) and a diode, wherein a pull-circuit for an identity (ID) pin of the CPU is coupled to a line between the ID pin of the CPU and an ID pin of the micro USB interface; the diode is coupled between the ID pin of the CPU and the ID pin of the micro USB interface, and is coupled between the pull-up circuit and the ID pin of the micro USB interface; the diode has a conducting direction from the ID pin of the CPU to the ID of the micro USB interface. With the present disclosure, the electronic device may be prevented from being damaged.

Electronic device and data transmission system

A device having a protective cover includes an electronic device and a protective cover; the electronic device includes a screen and a Hall sensor; the protective cover is provided with a magnet body including at least two magnets, in which at least one magnet having magnetic lines that pass through the Hall sensor when the protective cover covers on the screen. By providing at least two magnets in the protective cover, when the protective cover covers and moves on the screen, the magnetic lines of at least one magnet of the two magnets are able to pass through the Hall sensor in the electronic device.

Protective cover and device having the protective cover

A method for demodulating a signal is provided. The method includes: acquiring a reference clock signal provided by a power management unit (PMU) in a mobile terminal; determining a moving velocity of the mobile terminal; determining, based on the moving velocity, a Doppler frequency shift value generated when the mobile terminal receives a radio frequency (RF) signal transmitted by a base station; and demodulating, according to the reference clock signal and the Doppler frequency shift value, the received RF signal.
