TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to charging technologies in the field of electric products, and in particular to a charging method, a camera, and an electronic terminal.

BACKGROUND

A conventional terminal may define a camera hole in a rear cover of a battery, resulting in overall airtightness of the terminal being reduced. Further, a shell of a slide terminal may slide for a relatively long distance to expose a rear camera, such that power consumption of the slide terminal may be relatively high. Therefore, in the related art, a terminal configured with an elevated camera is provided, and a sliding distance for which the camera is extended is reduced effectively, such that the airtightness of the terminal is achieved, and at the same time, the power consumption of the terminal is reduced.

In the related art, the elevated camera may be connected to the terminal through a flexible printed circuit (FPC) board, and power is supplied for the camera by the FPC board. However, in order to allow the terminal to supply power to the elevated camera normally, an impedance of the FPC board needs to be controlled, and a size of the FPC board is to be limited. In this way, feasibility of producing the elevated camera may be reduced. From another perspective, the FPC board may be rolled repetitively while turning on and turning off the elevated camera repetitively, such that service time of the FPC board may be reduced, and quality of the camera may be reduced. Therefore, in the related art, the feasibility of producing the elevated camera and the quality of the elevated camera is significantly affected by charging the elevated camera through the FPC board.

SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSURE

According to a first aspect of the present disclosure, a charging method is provided and is applied in a camera configured with a first wireless power supply module. The method comprises: receiving a turn-on instruction, performing a lifting operation in response to the turn-on instruction; establishing wireless connection between the camera and a predefined terminal, wherein the predefined terminal is configured with a second wireless power supply module; and performing a charging process through the first wireless power supply module and the second wireless power supply module.

According to a second aspect of the present disclosure, an electronic terminal is provided and includes a terminal body and a camera. The camera includes: a shell slidably connected to the terminal body, a camera module, and a first power supply module. The camera module and the first power supply module are arranged inside the shell, and are configured to be synchronously slided relative to the terminal body when the shell is slided relative to the terminal body. The terminal body is arranged with a second power supply module. The first power supply module is configured to wirelessly connect to the second power supply module in response to the first power supply module being slided to reach a predefined position relative to the second power supply module. The camera is configured to receive a charging process through the first power supply module and the second power supply module.

According to a third aspect of the present disclosure, a camera is provided and includes a processor, a non-transitory memory which stores an instruction able to be executed by the processor, a communication interface, and a bus line configured to connect to the processor, the non-transitory memory, and the communication interface. The processor is configured to execute the instruction to perform operations of: receiving, by the camera, a turn-on instruction, performing a lifting operation on the camera in response to the turn-on instruction; establishing wireless connection between the camera and a predefined terminal, wherein the predefined terminal is configured with a second wireless power supply module; and performing a charging process on the camera through the first wireless power supply module and the second wireless power supply module.
