The present disclosure relates to the field of electronic technologies, and more particularly to a method for displaying a charging status and a terminal.
With the continuous development of electronic technology, a mobile terminal (such as a smart phone, PDA (personal digital assistant)) has been used increasingly in people's daily life. In the process of the use of the mobile terminal, with the continuous decrease of the energy of a terminal battery of the mobile terminal, it is indispensable to charge the terminal battery and learn a charging progress of the terminal battery. However, in the existing technology, the existing mobile terminal usually can only display its charging status by means of indicator lights or characters, which obviously cannot indicate a current charging status and a current charging progress of the mobile terminal, and also cannot clearly distinguish between a being charged status and a fully charged status.
In the existing technology, the way of displaying the charging status of a terminal by means of indicator lights or characters cannot visually indicate a current charging status a current charging progress of the mobile terminal, and also cannot clearly distinguish between a being charged status and a fully charged status.

In summary, according to the technical solutions of the method for displaying terminal charging status and the terminal above described, the charging stats region is displayed on the terminal screen of the terminal, and a percentage of filled region in the charging status region is displayed on the terminal screen according to the current electric quantity of the terminal battery being charged. Thus, the charging status and the charging progress of the terminal are visually displayed on the terminal screen, and the time required to complete charging the terminal battery is easily obtained, so that the user can learn the charging progress of the terminal in advance, and arrange the life and work plan.

The charging status displaying module 110 is configured to display a charging status region on a terminal screen when it is detected that a terminal battery is being charged, with a halo enlarging or shrinking with a preset frequency existing at the edge of the charging status region. The charging status region and the halo at the edge of the charging status region are taken here as an example as shown in
In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the halo is not just limited to be circular, and also can be any shape of oval, triangle, rectangle and trapezoid. Accordingly, the charging status region surrounded by the halo is not just limited to be circular, which also can be any shape of oval, triangle, rectangle and trapezoid.
The electric quantity display module 120 is configured to, according to a ratio of a current electric quantity of the terminal battery to the electric quantity of the terminal battery being fully charged (i.e., the ratio of the current electric quantity of the terminal battery having been charged to the capacity of the terminal battery), display a filled region having the same ratio in the charging statue region. In one embodiment of the present disclosure, for example, the electric quantity of the terminal battery being fully charged is about 1000 mAh, that is, the capacity of the terminal battery is 1000 mAh, when it is detected that the current electric quantity of the terminal battery is about 230 mAh, then the ratio of the current electric quantity of the terminal battery to the electric quantity of the terminal battery being fully charged is about 23%. Thus, a filled region having the same ratio is displayed in the charging statue region, namely, the ratio of the filled region to the charging status region is about 23%. As shown in
Optionally, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal 100 can also include: a charging time calculation module 130 and a charging time display module 140 electrically connected to the charging time calculation module 130.
The charging time calculation module 130 is configured to calculate the rest of charging time till the terminal battery is fully charged according to a current charging electric current, the capacity of the terminal battery and the power consumption of the terminal 100. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, in detail, the charging time calculation module 130 can be configured to figure out current power consumption of the terminal 100 according to the service condition of each function modules (such as a terminal, a Wi-Fi module, and a GSM module, etc.) of the terminal 100. For example, assuming that the current power consumption of the terminal 100 is about 2.035 W (watt), and the rated voltage of the terminal 100 is about 3.7V (volt), then the current of the terminal 100 is about 550 mA (milliampere) (i.e., 2.035/3.7=0.55 A=550 mA). It is detected that a current charging electric current is about 650 mA, therefore, the rest of charging time can be figured out: (1000 mAh-230 mAh)/(650 mA-550 mA)=7.7 hours.
The charging time display module 140 is configured to display the rest of charging time calculated by the charging time calculation module 130. As shown in
Further optional, in another embodiment of the present disclosure, the terminal 100 can also include a motion control module 150, which is electrically connected to the electric quantity display module 120.
The motion control module 150 is configured to control movements of the filled region in the charging status region according to different angles in inclination of the terminal 100. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, in detail, the motion control module 150 is configured to move the filled region according to different angles in inclination of the terminal 100, to keep the filled region in the gravity direction of the charging status region. It should be understood that, the charging status region can be considered as a sealed container, and the filled region can be seen as “fluid” in the sealed container, so that the “fluid” moves when the terminal 100 incline to different angles. As shown in
In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the motion control module 150 can also be configured to control the filled region to simulate the movement of “liquid” in the charging status region, that is, the motion control module 150 can control the movement of the filled region in the charging status region in the way of simulating the movement of “liquid” in the charging status region. For example, in detail, a mobile phone as shown in
v=v0+(1−μ)·Δa×t. (1)
Wherein, v is the movement speed, v0 is an initial velocity, and Δa is the acceleration, and μ is a preset resistance coefficient whose scope is (0, 1), and t is a preset refresh time, such as 0.04 seconds, 0.05 seconds. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the acceleration Δa meets a formula (2) as follows:
According to the formulas (1) and (2), when the motion control module 150 controls the filled region to move in the charging status region, then the filled region as a whole can move along the edge of the charging status region and simulate the movement of a simple pendulum. Thus, an angular velocity can be correspondingly calculated according to the movement speed obtained from the formula (1) and the radius of the circular charging status region. The angular velocity in combination with the refresh time t, the position of the filled region in the charging status region can be determined corresponding every refresh time. Since the resistance coefficient is not zero, so after a period of simple pendulum of the filled region, the filled region will stop in a steady state as shown in
The terminal is described in detail according to the embodiments of the present disclosure.
A method for displaying terminal charging status is provided according to another embodiment of the present disclosure.
