ELECTRONIC DEVICE WITH DYNAMICALLY ADJUSTED SHUTDOWN VOLTAGE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18458964 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE WITH DYNAMICALLY ADJUSTED SHUTDOWN VOLTAGE

Simplified Explanation

The disclosed technology pertains to a portable electronic device with a battery controller and a system controller. The battery controller determines real-time battery state information, including system load current draw, battery age indicator, and battery temperature. The system controller determines the low voltage mode state of the device, receives battery state information, and generates a real-time shutoff voltage threshold based on the low voltage mode state and battery information.

  • Portable electronic device with battery controller and system controller

Original Abstract Submitted

The disclosed technology relates to a portable electronic device. The portable electronic device may comprise a battery, a battery controller, and a system controller. The battery controller may be configured to determine real time battery state information associated with the battery, the real time battery state information including a system load current draw, a battery age indicator, and a battery temperature. The system controller may be configured to determine a user initiated current low voltage mode state of the portable electronic device of a plurality of low voltage mode states, receive current battery state information from the battery controller, and adaptively generate a real time shutoff voltage threshold based on the current determined low voltage mode state and the current battery state information.
