ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR CHARGING ANOTHER ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND CONTROLLING METHOD OF THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17811561 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR CHARGING ANOTHER ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND CONTROLLING METHOD OF THE SAME

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a first electronic device that includes a battery, a charger, a power IC, a connector, and at least one processor. The processor is configured to identify the voltage of the first battery, the output voltage of a second battery in a second electronic device, and the minimum voltage required for operating a second charger in the second electronic device. It then controls the power IC to transfer power with the appropriate voltage to the second electronic device via the connector.

  • The patent application describes a system for transferring power between electronic devices.
  • The system includes a first electronic device with a battery, charger, power IC, connector, and processor.
  • The processor identifies the voltages of both devices and controls the power IC to transfer power with the appropriate voltage.
  • The power transfer is done via the connector, allowing the second electronic device to charge or operate using the power from the first electronic device.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Charging multiple electronic devices using one device's battery.
  • Powering low-voltage devices with higher-voltage devices.
  • Enabling power sharing between devices in a network.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Eliminates the need for separate chargers for each device.
  • Allows devices with different voltage requirements to share power.
  • Provides a convenient way to transfer power between devices without the need for additional cables or adapters.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Simplifies the charging process by using one device's battery to charge others.
  • Reduces the number of chargers and cables needed for multiple devices.
  • Enables efficient power sharing and utilization among devices.


Original Abstract Submitted

According to various embodiments, a first electronic device may include a first battery, a first charger electrically connected to the first battery, a power IC electrically connected to the first charger, and configured to convert an output voltage of the first charger, a connector electrically connected to the power IC, and electrically connectable to a second electronic device, and at least one processor, wherein the at least one processor may be configured to identify a first voltage based on the voltage of the first battery of the first electronic device, the output voltage of a second battery of the second electronic device, and a minimum voltage required for operating a second charger of the second electronic device, and to control the power IC to transfer a first power having the first voltage to the second electronic device via the connector.
