Abstract

The disclosure provides a method, module and terminal for automatically activating a battery. The module for activating the battery comprises a detection unit, an activation unit and a control unit. The method for activating the battery comprises the following steps: a value of at least one first working parameter and a value of at least one second working parameter of the battery are periodically collected, recorded and uploaded; a key section of the at least one first working parameter is determined and a variation value of the second working parameter corresponding to the key section of the first working parameter is computed; and the variation value of the second working parameter is compared with a preset value, the using state of the battery is determined according to a comparison result, and the battery is activated according to the using state.

Dependent claims

A method for activating a battery, comprising:

periodically collecting, recording and uploading a value of at least one first working parameter and a value of at least one second working parameter of the battery;
determining a key section of the at least one first working parameter and computing a variation value of the at least one second working parameter corresponding to the key section of the first working parameter;
and
comparing the variation value of the at least one second working parameter with a preset value, determining using state of the battery according to a comparison result, and determining whether to activate the battery according to the using state;
wherein if the at least one first working parameter is a voltage of the battery, the at least one second working parameter is at least one of the following working parameters:
electricity quantity, current, time, temperature or internal resistance of the battery;
and if the at least one first working parameter is electricity quantity of the battery, the at least one second working parameter is at least one of the following working parameters:
voltage, current, time, temperature or internal resistance of the battery.

A module for activating a battery, comprising:

a detection unit configured to periodically collect, record and upload values of working parameters of the battery, wherein the values of working parameters of the battery include a value of at least one first working parameter and a value of at least one second working parameter of the battery;
a control unit configured to determine using state of the battery according to the values of working parameters of the battery and detecting whether the battery needs to be activated;
an activation unit configured to activate the battery;
wherein the detection unit, which is connected to the control unit, is configured to upload the values of the working parameters recorded by the detection unit to the control unit;
the control unit, which is connected to the detection unit and the activation unit, is configured to receive the values of the working parameters and issue an activation instruction to the activation unit when an activation operation needs to be performed on the battery, wherein the control unit is programmed to determine a key section of the at least one first working parameter and compute a variation value of the at least one second working parameter corresponding to the key section of the first working parameter, and further programmed to compare the variation value of the at least one second working parameters with a preset value, issue an activation instruction to the activation unit, when the variation value is determined to be deviated from the preset value;
and
the activation unit, which is connected to the control unit, is configured to activate the battery when receiving the activation instruction issued by the activation unit;
wherein if the at least one first working parameter is a voltage of the battery, the at least one second working parameter is at least one of the following working parameters:
electricity quantity, current, time, temperature or internal resistance of the battery;
and if the at least one first working parameter is electricity quantity of the battery, the at least one second working parameter is at least one of the following working parameters:
voltage, current, time, temperature or internal resistance of the battery.
