Abstract

This application discloses a pair of glasses having a wireless charging receiver circuit, a glasses case for glasses, and a system, and relates to the field of terminal technologies. The glasses may automatically perform hardware reset without disposing a reset button. The glasses case includes a housing having a cavity configured to accommodate the glasses, a processor, and a wireless charging transmitter circuit coupled to the wireless charging receiver circuit. The processor is configured to determine that the glasses need to perform power-on reset; and the wireless charging transmitter circuit is configured to send a first signal to the glasses in response to a case in which the processor determines that the glasses need to perform power-on reset, to trigger at least one processor of the glasses to perform power-on reset.

3. The glasses case according to claim 1 , wherein the glasses case further comprises a transceiver configured to receive a reset request message sent by the glasses, and the reset request message is used to request to perform the power-on reset on the glasses; and

the processor determines, based on the reset request message, that the glasses need to perform the power-on reset.

4. The glasses case according to claim 1 , wherein

in response to an abnormal or interrupted communication between the glasses case and the glasses, the processor determines that the glasses need to perform the power-on reset.

5. The glasses case according to claim 1 , wherein the distance detection circuit includes a near field communication (NFC) module.

6. The glasses case according to claim 1 , wherein the distance detection circuit includes an optical proximity sensor.
