System and Method to Maximize Power Delivery for USB Power Delivery Programmable Power Supplies - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17870883 titled 'System and Method to Maximize Power Delivery for USB Power Delivery Programmable Power Supplies

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system and methods for maximizing charging power to an information handling system (IHS) from a programmable power supply (PPS). The IHS and the PPS communicate with each other to exchange information about the capabilities of the PPS for providing charging power to the battery cells of the IHS. The charging power from the PPS is adjusted based on the configuration and capability of the battery cells of the IHS, and it is kept at a maximum power throughout the charging process.

  • The system and methods aim to optimize the charging power provided to an information handling system from a programmable power supply.
  • The information handling system and the programmable power supply establish communication to exchange information about their respective capabilities.
  • The capabilities of the programmable power supply for providing charging power to the battery cells of the information handling system are determined.
  • The configuration and capability of the battery cells of the information handling system are also determined.
  • The charging power from the programmable power supply is adjusted based on the information exchanged and the configuration and capability of the battery cells.
  • The charging power is maintained at a maximum level throughout the charging process of the battery cells.

Potential Applications:

  • This technology can be applied in various electronic devices that rely on battery power, such as smartphones, laptops, tablets, and wearable devices.
  • It can be used in electric vehicles to optimize the charging power provided to their battery cells.

Problems Solved:

  • The technology solves the problem of inefficient charging of battery cells by maximizing the charging power based on the capabilities and configuration of the cells.
  • It addresses the issue of slow charging times by ensuring that the charging power remains at a maximum level throughout the charging process.

Benefits:

  • The technology improves the charging efficiency of information handling systems, leading to faster charging times.
  • It helps extend the battery life of devices by optimizing the charging power based on the capabilities of the battery cells.
  • The system and methods provide a more intelligent and adaptive charging solution, enhancing the overall user experience.


Original Abstract Submitted

Described are system and methods for maximizing charging power to an information handling system (IHS) from a programmable power supply (PPS). The IHS and the PPS initiate communication with one another. Information is exchanged as to the capabilities of the PPS for providing charging power to battery cells of the IHS, and information as to the battery cells of the HIS. Charging power from the PPS based on the configuration and capability of the battery cells of the IHS, and charging power is kept at a maximum power throughout charging of the battery cells.
