Abstract

A method for generating a wireless charging alignment line on a mobile phone, applicable to a wireless charging device with a corresponding symbol, comprising: starting an application in the mobile phone and generating an operation screen, and placing the mobile phone on a wireless charging device; moving the mobile phone according to indication of the operation screen, and generating a first unchargeable line, a first preferred charging line, a second unchargeable line, and a second preferred charging line on the operation screen sequentially, the application calculating a median value according to the first unchargeable line, the first preferred charging line, the second unchargeable line, and the second preferred charging line position, and displaying an alignment line on the operation screen according to the median value. As such, the mobile phone can be aligned with the wireless charging device by the alignment line for optimal charging efficiency.

Claims

1. A method for generating a wireless charging alignment line on a mobile phone, comprising:

starting an application in the mobile phone and generating an operation screen, and placing the mobile phone on a wireless charging device;

moving the mobile phone according to indication of the operation screen, and generating a first unchargeable line on the operation screen;

moving the mobile phone according to the indication on the operation screen, and generating a first preferred charging line on the operation screen;

moving the mobile phone according to the indication of the operation screen, and generating a second unchargeable line on the operation screen, using center of the mobile phone as a center, the first unchargeable line and the second unchargeable line being located on opposite sides;

moving the mobile phone according to the indication of the operation screen, and generating a second preferred charging line on the operation screen, using center of the mobile phone as a center, the first preferred charging line and the second preferred charging line being located on opposite sides;

the application calculating a median value according to the first unchargeable line, the first preferred charging line, the second unchargeable line, and the second preferred charging line position, and displaying an alignment line on the operation screen according to the median value.

2. The method for generating a wireless charging alignment line on a mobile phone as claimed in claim 1, wherein the indication of the operation screen is by at least one of displaying an arrow, displaying a text, or a voice prompt.

3. The method for generating a wireless charging alignment line on a mobile phone as claimed in claim 1, wherein when the application is started, an initial line appears on the operation screen, and at least one corresponding symbol is additionally disposed on the wireless charging device;

during placing the mobile phone in the wireless charging device, the initial line is aligned to the corresponding symbol.

4. The method for generating a wireless charging alignment line on a mobile phone as claimed in claim 3, wherein position of the initial line is at the middle of the operation screen, or a data recorded by previously using the application, or a preset position.

5. The method for generating a wireless charging alignment line on a mobile phone as claimed in claim 3, wherein the step of defining the first unchargeable line on the operation screen comprises:

first moving the mobile phone towards a first direction according to the indication of the operation screen, and stopping moving when a display signal showing suspending charging or failure to charge appearing on the operation screen;

using a finger to touch to move a movable line in the operation screen, and stopping moving when the movable line being aligned with the corresponding symbol;

then, using a finger to touch a confirmation box displayed on the operation screen to cause the application to generate the first unchargeable line to appearing in the operation screen.

6. The method for generating a wireless charging alignment line on a mobile phone as claimed in claim 5, wherein the step of defining the first preferred charging line on the operation screen comprises:

first moving the mobile phone towards a second direction according to the indication of the operation screen, the second direction being opposite to the first direction, and stopping moving when a display signal showing predetermined charging efficiency appearing on the operation screen;

using a finger to touch to move a movable line in the operation screen, and stopping moving when the movable line being aligned with the corresponding symbol;

then, using a finger to touch a confirmation box displayed on the operation screen to cause the application to generate the first preferred charging line to appearing in the operation screen.

7. The method for generating a wireless charging alignment line on a mobile phone as claimed in claim 6, wherein the step of defining the second unchargeable line on the operation screen comprises:

first moving the mobile phone towards the second direction according to the indication of the operation screen, and stopping moving when a display signal showing suspending charging or failure to charge appearing on the operation screen;

using a finger to touch to move a movable line in the operation screen, and stopping moving when the movable line being aligned with the corresponding symbol;

then, using a finger to touch a confirmation box displayed on the operation screen to cause the application to generate the second unchargeable line to appearing in the operation screen.

8. The method for generating a wireless charging alignment line on a mobile phone as claimed in claim 7, wherein the step of defining the second preferred charging line on the operation screen comprises:

first moving the mobile phone towards the first direction according to the indication of the operation screen, and stopping moving when a display signal showing predetermined charging efficiency appearing on the operation screen;

using a finger to touch to move a movable line in the operation screen, and stopping moving when the movable line being aligned with the corresponding symbol;

then, using a finger to touch a confirmation box displayed on the operation screen to cause the application to generate the second preferred charging line to appearing in the operation screen.

9. The method for generating a wireless charging alignment line on a mobile phone as claimed in claim 1, wherein the application can synchronously connect to a cloud server database, and synchronously update the cloud server database with obtained alignment data of the mobile phone.
