AUTOMATED DOCKING SYSTEM FOR CHARGING CHARGEABLE MOBILE DEVICES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240030728 titled 'AUTOMATED DOCKING SYSTEM FOR CHARGING CHARGEABLE MOBILE DEVICES

Simplified Explanation

The present disclosure describes an automated docking system for charging chargeable mobile devices. The system provides a cost-effective generic docking station with an Internet of Things (IoT) interface for different types of chargeable mobile devices, allowing for precise docking. The docking station is designed to accommodate different categories of chargeable mobile devices with different charging currents. The IoT-enabled docking station communicates with the mobile devices and charges them based on factors such as battery health, quick/slow charge, category, and task duration.

• The system provides a cost-effective generic docking station for charging mobile devices.
• The docking station has an IoT interface for precise docking of different types of mobile devices.
• The docking station can accommodate different categories of mobile devices with different charging currents.
• The IoT-enabled docking station communicates with the mobile devices to determine the appropriate charging parameters.
• The docking station has a flexible design that can adjust itself in translation and rotation axis to compensate for errors in docking.

Potential applications of this technology:

• Charging stations for public spaces such as airports, train stations, and shopping malls.
• Charging stations for electric vehicles.
• Charging stations for industrial equipment and machinery.

Problems solved by this technology:

• Expensive technology like wireless charging is not required, reducing the cost of the docking system.
• The generic design of the docking station allows for docking of different types of mobile devices, eliminating the need for multiple docking stations.
• The IoT interface enables precise docking and charging based on various factors, optimizing the charging process.

Benefits of this technology:

• Cost-effective solution for charging mobile devices.
• Flexibility to accommodate different types of mobile devices.
• Precise docking and charging based on battery health and other factors.
• Improved efficiency and optimization of the charging process.

Original Abstract Submitted

the present disclosure describes an automated docking system for charging chargeable mobile devices. conventionally, docking systems utilize expensive technology like wireless charging leading to higher cost. the system of the present disclosure provides a cost effective generic docking station with internet of things (iot) interface for heterogeneous chargeable mobile devices which leads to precise docking. the generic design of the docking station enables docking different category of the chargeable mobile devices such as fork type, unit load type, at same docking station with different charging currents. iot enabled docking station communicates with the chargeable mobile devices and charges them based on battery health, quick/slow charge, category, task duration and/or the like. the present disclosure brings a design flexibility to the docking station and contact pads, so that the flexible design adjusts itself in translation and rotation axis for certain degrees of freedom if there is an error in docking.
