ELECTRONIC DEVICE DISPLAYING INFORMATION GUIDING ALIGNMENT WITH CHARGING DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18086641 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE DISPLAYING INFORMATION GUIDING ALIGNMENT WITH CHARGING DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method for an electronic device to receive a wireless signal from another device and determine if the power provided meets a certain threshold. If the power is insufficient, the electronic device will assess its own state and display a corresponding screen.
- The method involves receiving a wireless signal from an external device.
- It checks if the power provided by the external device meets a threshold.
- If the power is below the threshold, the electronic device determines its own state.
- Based on the state, the device displays a screen.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in various scenarios, including:
- Smartphones or tablets receiving power wirelessly from charging pads.
- Laptops or computers receiving power wirelessly from docking stations.
- IoT devices receiving power wirelessly from a central hub.
Problems Solved
The technology addresses the following problems:
- Ensuring that an electronic device receives sufficient power for proper functioning.
- Preventing damage or malfunction caused by insufficient power supply.
- Providing a visual indication of the device's state when power is inadequate.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include:
- Improved reliability by monitoring power levels and taking appropriate action.
- Enhanced user experience through visual feedback on the device's state.
- Protection against potential damage or data loss due to insufficient power supply.
Original Abstract Submitted
A method includes receiving a wireless signal at an electronic device from an external electronic device. The method further includes determining whether the wireless signal indicates that power provided by the external electronic device to the electronic device satisfies a threshold. The method further includes, responsive to determining that the power provided by the external electronic device to the electronic device fails to satisfy the threshold, determining a state of the electronic device. The method further includes, responsive to determining the state of the electronic device, displaying a screen based on the state of the electronic device.
