Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a battery simulation system, and more particularly to a smart battery simulation system. [Prior Art] For mobile devices such as notebook computers, because they are portable, the entire mobile device is installed without a power supply. The dedicated battery is used to provide power, so the battery power is maintained. And a stable power supply is very important to the operation of the entire mobile device. Taking a notebook computer as an example, the battery used is mostly smart. The advantage of using a smart battery is that it can provide the current remaining battery data of the battery, and transmit it to the host computer through the host computer and the battery. The system processes a single (System CPU) to tell the host computer the current battery remaining. In this way, the system processing unit can perform power management according to the obtained remaining power data, and perform the most efficient regulation of the power operation of the entire computer system according to the remaining power of the battery. For example, if the user does not directly output/input the computer through the keyboard or other computer peripherals to issue commands to the host computer, after a period of time, the system processing single 7L will turn off the display and the hard disk according to the preset settings of the operating system: : Its circuit components operate to save power. Or, when the battery is left! When reduced to a certain extent, the system processing unit will reduce the brightness of the display's display to reduce power loss and provide a warning message to remind the user that the battery needs to be recharged. Even when the remaining battery power is seriously insufficient, the data can be stored on the hard disk and the entire system is forcibly turned off. I263885 In the mobile device such as a notebook computer, reading the power of the smart battery is the responsibility of the embedded one-eighth control. The remaining battery data of the smart battery when embedded control. The notebook computer is in operation ^ the line will be (4) control _ at the control unit. After receiving, 丨 ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ After the system processing single S receives the remaining power data fed by the control unit, you can perform the power management according to the amount of remaining power of the smart battery at that time. Therefore, it is necessary to perform battery work on the embedded control unit of the mobile device: test ' to verify that the function of the embedded control unit of the mobile device is ::. It is a common way to test the function of the embedded control unit of the mobile device. The normal way is to directly make a true smart battery to measure the sinister control unit. However, due to the charging and discharging of the real battery, Test methods have the disadvantage of being too long to test. Therefore, it is necessary to seek a solution. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION / Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a smart battery simulation system that can be used to test whether the charging and discharging function of the mobile device is normal and has the advantage of shortening the test time. /, Thus, the smart battery simulation system of the present invention comprises the mobile device, the :: Hui battery simulation device, and a master computer. The mobile device includes -, input control. The % genre 1 also simulates an electrical connection to the embedded control unit of the mobile device. The main control computer is electrically connected to the smart 6 1263885 battery simulation device, and uses the LV too smart battery simulation device to transmit the analog data to the analog device that can be used to realize the μ-type battery simulation device. And verify that the function of the embedded control unit of the mobile device is normal. ...Embodiment [Embodiment] The foregoing and related persons, n, his technical content, features and effects of the present invention are clearly presented in the next-a 荼 图 图 图 图. In the detailed description of μ Jiashi (4), reference will be made to a preferred embodiment of the smart battery simulation system of the present invention, a mobile device, a smart battery simulation device 2, and a master computer. The mobile device! For example, it can be a notebook computer, a mobile phone, or a personal digital assistant (Per Digital), the mobile device 1 has a control unit n, so that a real wisdom can be utilized in actual use. A battery (not shown) is provided to provide the required power. The smart battery simulation system can be used to test whether the function of the embedded control unit 11 of the mobile device 1 is normal, to assist in detecting hidden problems and to shorten the test time. It can speed up the research and development speed, and can also be used for production verification. "Hai Action Set 1 embedded control unit 11 and smart battery simulation clothing 2, with a signal transmission interface for electrical connection and battery signal The signal transmission interface may be, for example, a system management bus (SM Bus), but is not limited thereto. The main control computer 3 and the smart battery simulation device 2 are connected by another signal transmission interface. Electrical connection and transmission of a battery characteristic simulation data 22 (see Fig. 2 of Figure 1263), wherein the other signal transmission interface can be, for example, an RS232 interface, but is not limited thereto. As for the battery characteristic simulation data 22, the battery voltage, the charging control information, and the temperature control information are provided. The function of the main control computer 3 and the smart battery simulation device 2 is that the main control computer 3 can generate the battery characteristic simulation data 22 and The smart battery simulation device 2 is transmitted to the smart battery simulation device 2', so that the smart battery simulation device 2 can simulate a real smart battery, and the embedded control unit of the mobile device i is verified via the system management bus bar. Whether the function of U is normal or not. The intelligent battery simulation system of the present invention has two operation modes: a main control mode and an automatic mode. When the main control mode is performed, the main control computer 3 passes the required simulated battery characteristic simulation data 22 via The RS232 interface is transmitted to the smart battery simulation device 2, and the electrical characteristics required for the embedded control unit U of the mobile device 1 are simulated by the function of the electronic circuit (Fig. 2) in the smart battery simulation device 2, thereby verifying the embedded type. Whether the function of the control unit u is positive: : In this main control mode, the main control power month " can be arbitrarily set - the real smart battery is unexpected The condition is repeated. " The automatic mode is 'When the host computer 3 transmits the battery characteristic simulation data 22 to the smart battery simulation device 2, the user can operate the mobile device! And verifying whether the function of the embedded control unit η is normal. Referring to FIG. 2, the smart battery simulation device 2 is electrically connected to an external power source 4 for charging and discharging current, and includes a micro processing unit plus = key input unit 7C 21, a load/power switching circuit 23, a display unit 4 RS232 interface input unit 25, an input selection switching unit 26, a charging 1263885 electric current measuring unit 27, and a counter 28. In addition to the above-mentioned main control mode and automatic mode, 7Γ 2S ^ ^, 1+ KS232 interface input early 25, battery characteristic analog data processing unit 20, using w lane control 3 input to the micro can also be directly pulled by the user When the simulation device 2 performs the test, the user directly presses the capital (4) to input into the micro processing unit 2, and the battery characteristics are simulated. In this embodiment, the smart battery simulation key is the key input unit 21. Therefore, the pre-input input 22 is rotated into the field through the RS232 interface, and the battery characteristic analog data material 22 is input through π early ^ 5 and has a battery characteristic simulation. When the t-key input unit 21 is input, Since the input selects the preset state of the phase-cut, the battery (4) analog data 22 is smoothly input to the micro-processing unit 26 by the button input. As for 'when there is a f-cell characteristic model, the material 22 enters the spear 9 through the RS232 interface, the thief is fined 3, and the input is earlier than 25, because it has the input option of 29, so it will be processed by micro processing. The unit 2 switches the input selection switching unit 26 to the off state. Therefore, the battery characteristic simulation data 22 can be blocked by the button input unit at the same time, so that the battery characteristic simulation data is only input by the S232" surface. It is input to the micro processing unit 2〇, and cannot be input to the micro processing unit 2〇 by the key input unit 21. "Hai. The tens of benefits 28 is disposed between the button input unit 21 and the micro processing unit and is used to convert the original battery characteristic simulation data 22 input from the button input unit 21 into the micro processing unit. Digital data. In addition, the display unit 24 is used to display the 1263885 input by the button wheel entry unit 21, wherein the display unit 24 can be, for example, a battery characteristic analog data segment display, which is not limited thereto: the power switching circuit 23 Connected to the microprocessor unit 2 and the drag-in control unit 11, and automatically switched between discharge and charge modes. When the load/power switching circuit 23 is switched to the discharge mode (ie, the load mode), the -discharge current flows from the embedded control of the mobile device 1 to the load/power switching circuit 23, thereby simulating the real smart battery. Discharge mode. When the load/power switching circuit 23 switches to the charging mode (ie, the power mode), the charging current provided by the external power source 4 flows through the load/power switching circuit 23 to the embedded control list of the mobile device i.兀11, to simulate the charging mode of real smart batteries. The charging current measuring unit 27 can automatically measure the actual charging current from the load/power switching circuit 23 ", the embedded control unit 11 of the mobile device i, and feed back the actual charging current to the micro processing. The unit 2 is such that the load/power switching circuit 23 can fine tune the actual charging current provided. However, in this embodiment, the charging and discharging current signal 5 required by the embedded control unit 11 and the micro processing unit 2 can be directly provided by another method to prevent the charging and discharging current signal 5 and the charging current amount. When any one of the measuring units 27 is not functioning properly and cannot provide the required correct value, the other one can be responsible for providing the required value, and the microprocessor unit 2 can be improved by averaging the charging current values provided by the two in an appropriate manner. The correct value of the final charge current obtained. The above-mentioned 'smart battery simulation system of the present invention can be used to test whether the function of the mobile control unit 11 of the mobile device 1 is normal, and assists to find 10 ^ 263885, and the advantage of speeding up the development speed is hidden, and the test time is shortened' Can also be used for production verification. However, the above is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention, and does not: limit the scope of the practice of the present invention, that is, the simple equivalent change between the scope of the invention and the description of the invention Modifications are still within the scope of the invention.
