ELECTRONIC APPARATUS, METHOD FOR ELECTRONIC APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18400595 titled 'ELECTRONIC APPARATUS, METHOD FOR ELECTRONIC APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an electronic apparatus that wirelessly transmits power to a power reception apparatus and includes a control unit to display charging information and transition between normal and power-saving modes based on the presence of the power reception apparatus.
- Power transmission unit wirelessly transmits power to power reception apparatus
- Control unit displays charging information when power transmission is active
- Control unit stops displaying charging information when power transmission stops
- Power transmission unit transitions between normal and power-saving modes based on the presence of the power reception apparatus
- Power-saving mode has a longer detection period than the normal mode
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in various electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, laptops, and wearable devices to enable wireless charging capabilities.
Problems Solved
1. Eliminates the need for physical charging cables, providing a more convenient and clutter-free charging experience. 2. Optimizes power consumption by transitioning to a power-saving mode when the power reception apparatus is not present, saving energy.
Benefits
1. Enhanced user convenience with wireless charging capabilities. 2. Efficient power management with automatic transition between normal and power-saving modes. 3. Reduction in cable clutter and wear and tear on physical charging ports.
Potential Commercial Applications
"Wireless Charging Technology for Electronic Devices: Revolutionizing the Charging Experience"
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be the development of wireless charging technologies in various electronic devices over the years, showcasing the evolution towards more efficient and convenient charging solutions.
Unanswered Questions
How does the transition between normal and power-saving modes impact overall power consumption of the electronic apparatus?
The transition between normal and power-saving modes based on the presence of the power reception apparatus is designed to optimize power consumption. However, the specific impact on overall power consumption needs to be further analyzed through testing and data collection.
What are the potential limitations or drawbacks of wirelessly transmitting power to electronic devices?
While wireless charging offers convenience, there may be limitations such as slower charging speeds compared to traditional wired charging methods. Additionally, the distance between the power transmission unit and the power reception apparatus may affect the efficiency of power transmission. Further research and development are needed to address these potential limitations.
Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic apparatus includes a power transmission unit configured to wirelessly transmit power to a power reception apparatus, and a control unit configured to perform control to display information indicating that the power reception apparatus is being charged in a case where the power transmission unit is transmitting power, and to stop displaying the information indicating that the power reception apparatus is being charged in a case where the power transmission unit has stopped power transmission, wherein the power transmission unit transitions from a normal mode to a power-saving mode based on information about the power reception apparatus, the power-saving mode having a period of time from when the power transmission unit stops the power transmission to when the power transmission unit starts power transmission for detecting an object longer than the period of time of the normal mode.
