The present invention relates to a charging detection and control apparatus for an Apple device. More particularly, the present invention relates to a charging detection and control apparatus that detect a capacity of the charging source terminal complying with a variety of different standards and then notify the Apple device of the detection result, thereby realizing an effect in which the Apple device is charged with the maximum current.
As mobile terminal devices are popularized, the demand for charging speed for the mobile devices becomes higher accordingly. The users' experience will be improved greatly if an effect in which the mobile devices are charged with the maximum capacity can be realized when different charging source terminals are used. But at present, there are many and various charging standards such as USB BC1.2, USB Type-C, Apple and Samsung, which are not compatible with each other completely, so when the charging source terminals complying with various standards are connected to the mobile devices, the maximum charging capacity cannot be realized, and the mobile devices can only be charged with less current or cannot be charged completely. This is especially obvious for Apple mobile devices. When an Apple mobile device is inserted into a charging source terminal not complying with the Apple standard, it cannot regulate the load capacity according to the Apple standard and only will be charged with a little current, which lengthens the charging time. Here the Apple devices refer to Apple mobile devices such as iPhone and iPad. In summary, it is in need of an intermediary between the charging source terminal and the mobile device to make the various charging standards compatible with each other.
A technical problem solved by the present invention is detecting charging capacities of the charging source terminals and notifying the mobile device terminals of the results to realize an effect in which the mobile device terminals are charged with the maximum capacity.
To solve the above technical problem, the technical solution of the present invention is: as a charging detection and control apparatus for an Apple device of the present invention, it comprises a charging input interface, a diction apparatus, a control apparatus and a charging output interface, the detection apparatus is connected to the charging source terminal via the charging input interface, the control apparatus is connected to the Apple device via the charging output interface, the detection apparatus and the control apparatus are connected together, the detection apparatus identifies a current supplying capacity of the charging source terminal complying with a variety of different standards via the charging input interface, the control apparatus converts a detection result into a charging current parameter can be supported by the Apple device and sends the charging current parameter to the Apple device via the charging input interface; the charging input interface is an USB Standard interface, an USB Micro interface or an USB Type-C interface, the charging output interface is an Apple standard Lightning interface or an USB Type-C interface, the detection apparatus comprises an USB BC1.2 charging detection apparatus, an USB Type-C charging detection apparatus, an Apple standard charging detection apparatus and a Samsung standard charging detection apparatus, the control apparatus is an Apple MFI standard USB communication apparatus. The detection apparatus detects the charging capacity supported by the charging source terminal via the charging input interface depending on the internal charging detection apparatus of different standards, and sends the detected information to the control apparatus. The control apparatus converts the received information into a charging capacity parameter complying with Apple MFI standard and sends the charging capacity parameter to the Apple device via the charging output interface, the Apple device will automatically regulate the load capacity according to the received charging capacity parameter, thereby realizing an effect in which the Apple device is charged with the maximum capacity by charging source terminals complying with different standards.
The detection and control apparatus for an Apple device of the present invention controls the charging parameter by detecting the current supplying capacity of the charging source terminals complying with different standards, thereby realizes an effect in which the Apple device is charged with the maximum current by a variety of different charging source terminals, expands the charging compatibility of the Apple device and shortens the charging time of the Apple device.
Additional objectives, functions and advantages of the present invention will be set forth in the description of embodiments which follow, with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:
Wherein,
Hereinafter, the charging detection and control apparatus for an Apple device of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the embodiments in the attached drawings.
The charging input interface 21 is an USB Standard interface, an USB Micro interface or an USB Type-C interface, the charging output interface 24 is a standard Apple Lightning interface or an USB Type-C interface.
As shown in
When the control apparatus 23 converts the received detection result into a charging parameter complying with Apple standard, two methods are used to send the charging parameter to the Apple device 3 via the charging output interface 24. The first method is sending the charging parameter to the Apple device 3 by the way of sending a control sequence using USB communication that complies with Apple MFI standard; the other method is making the Apple device 3 identify different charging parameters by regulating a signal output voltage of the charging output interface.
The present invention expands the charging compatibility of the Apple device, and shortens the charging time of the Apple device. The Apple device refers to an Apple mobile device such as iPhone and iPad.
The foregoing embodiments are merely illustrative of preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Various variations and modifications made to the technical solutions of the present invention by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present invention are embraced in the protection scope of the present invention as defined by the appended claims.
