METHOD FOR TRANSMITTING INFORMATION ABOUT CHARGING STATE OF AUDIO OUTPUT DEVICE, AND AUDIO OUTPUT DEVICE THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18167440 titled 'METHOD FOR TRANSMITTING INFORMATION ABOUT CHARGING STATE OF AUDIO OUTPUT DEVICE, AND AUDIO OUTPUT DEVICE THEREOF
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an audio output device that includes a battery, wireless communication circuit, and control circuit. The control circuit is responsible for managing the device's connection with an electronic device and charging the battery.
- The control circuit disconnects the wireless communication with the electronic device when the audio output device is connected to a power supply device.
- It initiates the charging of the battery using the power from the power supply device.
- The wireless communication circuit is temporarily activated if the battery level of either the audio output device or the power supply device meets a designated charging condition.
- Information about the charging status of the audio output device or the power supply device is transmitted to the electronic device.
Potential Applications
- Wireless headphones or earbuds that can automatically charge when connected to a power source.
- Portable speakers that can communicate their charging status to a connected device.
- Bluetooth audio devices that can intelligently manage their power usage and charging.
Problems Solved
- Ensures that the audio output device is charged when connected to a power supply device.
- Allows the device to prioritize charging based on battery levels of both the audio output device and the power supply device.
- Provides information about the charging status to the connected electronic device.
Benefits
- Convenient charging of the audio output device when connected to a power source.
- Efficient power management by considering the battery levels of both the audio output device and the power supply device.
- Enhanced user experience by providing charging status information to the connected electronic device.
Original Abstract Submitted
An audio output device is provided. The audio output device includes a battery, a wireless communication circuit, and a control circuit electrically connected to the battery and the wireless communication circuit, wherein the control circuit releases a communication connection with an electronic device using the wireless communication circuit if an electrical connection between the audio output device and a power supply device is sensed, starts charging of the battery of the audio output device by using the power supplied from the power supply device, temporarily activates the wireless communication circuit if either a residual battery quantity of the audio output device or a residual battery quantity of the power supply device satisfies a designated charging condition during charging of the battery of the audio output device, and transmits information about the charging state of the audio output device or the power supply device to the electronic device.
