ELECTRONIC DEVICE WITH DYNAMICALLY ADJUSTED SHUTDOWN VOLTAGE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240088681 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE WITH DYNAMICALLY ADJUSTED SHUTDOWN VOLTAGE
Simplified Explanation
The disclosed technology relates to a portable electronic device that includes a battery, a battery controller, and a system controller. The battery controller determines real-time battery state information such as system load current draw, battery age indicator, and battery temperature. The system controller determines a user-initiated current low voltage mode state, receives current battery state information from the battery controller, and adaptively generates a real-time shutoff voltage threshold based on the current low voltage mode state and battery state information.
- Battery controller determines real-time battery state information
- System controller determines user-initiated low voltage mode state and generates shutoff voltage threshold
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in various portable electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, laptops, and wearable devices.
Problems Solved
1. Efficient battery management in portable electronic devices. 2. Preventing unexpected shutdowns due to low battery voltage.
Benefits
1. Prolonged battery life. 2. Enhanced user experience with optimized battery performance.
Potential Commercial Applications
Optimizing battery performance in smartphones for longer usage between charges.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be the use of battery management systems in electric vehicles to optimize battery performance and prolong battery life.
Unanswered Questions
How does the system controller adaptively generate the real-time shutoff voltage threshold?
The process of adaptively generating the shutoff voltage threshold based on the current low voltage mode state and battery state information is not detailed in the abstract. Further information on this adaptive process would provide a clearer understanding of the technology.
What are the specific low voltage mode states that the system controller can determine?
The abstract mentions a plurality of low voltage mode states, but does not specify what these states are. Understanding the different low voltage mode states would give insight into how the system controller manages battery performance in each state.
