Abstract

A method for monitoring battery safety is provided. When a terminal device remains coupled with an adaptor after charging of a battery of the terminal device is completed, in response to the terminal device being in a low-power state, recharge information of the terminal device is acquired. According to the recharge information of the terminal device, whether the battery is abnormal is determined. The disclosure further provides a system for monitoring battery safety and a non-transitory computer readable storage medium.

Claims (36)

1. A method for abnormity detection of a rechargeable battery of a terminal device, the method comprising:

acquiring recharge information of a terminal device, in response to the terminal device being in a low-power state, when the terminal device remains coupled with an adaptor after charging of a rechargeable battery of the terminal device via the adaptor is completed, wherein the low-power state is a standby state or a power off-state, and wherein the recharge information of the terminal device comprises a number of times the rechargeable battery is recharged within a preset time period and a time interval at which the rechargeable battery is recharged;

determining whether the number of times the rechargeable battery is recharged within the preset time period is greater than a preset number of times and whether the time interval at which the rechargeable battery is recharged is shorter than a preset time interval; and

determining that the rechargeable battery is abnormal, based on a determination that the number of times the rechargeable battery is recharged within the preset time period is greater than or equal to the preset number of times and the time interval at which the rechargeable battery is recharged is shorter than the preset time interval, the preset time period being longer than the preset time interval.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein acquiring the recharge information of the terminal device comprises:

acquiring the recharge information of the terminal device by monitoring a voltage of the rechargeable battery.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein acquiring the recharge information of the terminal device by monitoring the voltage of the rechargeable battery comprises:

determining that a recharge condition is triggered when the voltage of the rechargeable battery is less than a voltage threshold;

determining the number of times the recharge condition is triggered with the preset time period to be the number of times the rechargeable battery is recharged within the preset time period; and

determining a time interval at which the recharge condition is triggered to be the time interval at which the rechargeable battery is recharged.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining a fault grade according to the recharge information acquired and restricting corresponding functions of the terminal device according to the fault grade, based on a determination that the rechargeable battery is abnormal.

5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising:

establishing correspondence between functions of the terminal device and fault grades; and

restricting corresponding functions of the terminal device according to the fault grade comprising:

determining functions corresponding to the fault grade determined; and

disabling the functions determined within a preset period.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

sending, by the terminal device, alert information of the rechargeable battery being abnormal, when the rechargeable battery is abnormal.

7. A system for abnormity detection of a rechargeable battery of a terminal device, the system comprising:

at least one processor; and

a computer readable storage, coupled to the at least one processor and storing at least one computer executable instruction thereon which, when executed by the at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to:

acquire recharge information of a terminal device, in response to the terminal device being in a low-power state, when the terminal device remains coupled with an adaptor after charging of a rechargeable battery of the terminal device via the adaptor is completed, wherein the low-power state is a standby state or a power off-state, and wherein the recharge information of the terminal device comprises a number of times the rechargeable battery is recharged within a preset time period and a time interval at which the rechargeable battery is recharged;

determine whether the number of times the rechargeable battery is recharged within the preset time period is greater than a preset number of times and whether the time interval at which the rechargeable battery is recharged is shorter than a preset time interval; and

determine that the rechargeable battery is abnormal, based on a determination that the number of times the rechargeable battery is recharged within the preset time period is greater than or equal to the preset number of times and the time interval at which the rechargeable battery is recharged is shorter than the preset time interval, the preset time period being longer than the preset time interval.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the at least one processor configured to acquire the recharge information of the terminal device is configured to:

acquire the recharge information of the terminal device by monitoring a voltage of the rechargeable battery.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the at least one processor configured to acquire the recharge information of a-the terminal device by monitoring voltage of the rechargeable battery is configured to:

determine that a recharge condition is triggered when the voltage of the rechargeable battery is less than a voltage threshold;

determine the number of times the recharge condition is triggered with the preset time period to be the number of times the rechargeable battery is recharged within the preset time period; and

determine a time interval at which the recharge condition is triggered to be the time interval at which the rechargeable battery is recharged.

10. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing computer programs which, when executed by a processor, are operable with the processor to:

acquire recharge information of a terminal device, in response to the terminal device being in a low-power state, when the terminal device remains coupled with an adaptor after charging of a rechargeable battery of the terminal device via the adaptor is completed, wherein the low-power state is a standby state or a power off-state, and wherein the recharge information of the terminal device comprises a number of times the rechargeable battery is recharged within a preset time period and a time interval at which the rechargeable battery is recharged;

determine whether the number of times the rechargeable battery is recharged within the preset time period is greater than a preset number of times and whether the time interval at which the rechargeable battery is recharged is shorter than a preset time interval; and

determine that the rechargeable battery is abnormal, based on a determination that the number of times the rechargeable battery is recharged within the preset time period is greater than or equal to the preset number of times and the time interval at which the rechargeable battery is recharged is shorter than the preset time interval, the preset time period being longer than the preset time interval.

11. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 10 , wherein the recharge information is acquired by monitoring a voltage of the rechargeable battery.
