WIRELESS BATTERY CHARGING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17940509 titled 'WIRELESS BATTERY CHARGING
Simplified Explanation
The patent application is for an improved wireless battery charging system that can determine when a battery is decoupled from a wireless charger, when it is coupled to the charger, and disable charging for a specific duration based on elapsed time thresholds.
- The device includes a battery and is able to detect when the battery is connected or disconnected from a wireless charger.
- If the elapsed time between disconnection and reconnection is equal to or less than a specific threshold, charging of the battery is disabled for a set duration.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in various wireless charging systems for electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, and wearables.
Problems Solved
This innovation helps prevent overcharging of batteries, which can lead to reduced battery life and potential safety hazards.
Benefits
- Improved battery longevity - Enhanced safety features for charging devices - Efficient use of wireless charging technology
Potential Commercial Applications
"Enhanced Wireless Battery Charging System for Electronic Devices"
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be existing wireless charging systems that do not have the capability to disable charging based on elapsed time thresholds.
Unanswered Questions
1. How does the system differentiate between intentional disconnection and accidental disconnection of the battery from the wireless charger? 2. Are there any potential drawbacks to disabling charging based on elapsed time thresholds, such as interruptions in charging cycles for users with intermittent charging habits?
Original Abstract Submitted
Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for improved wireless battery charging. The device may include a battery, and may be configured to determine that the battery is de-coupled from a wireless charger at a first time, determine that the battery is coupled to the wireless charger at a second time, determine that a first elapsed time between the first time and the second time is equal to or less than a first threshold, and cause charging of the battery to be disabled for a first time duration.
