BATTERY AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18353384 titled 'BATTERY AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an electronic device that includes a battery, a flexible printed circuit board, and a speaker. The battery has an anode and a cathode with different lengths. The flexible printed circuit board is electrically connected to the battery and surrounds part of its side surface. The speaker is stacked with the battery. The flexible printed circuit board has a power wiring connected to the anode and a ground wiring connected to the cathode. Due to the length difference between the cathode and the anode, a first current flows in the battery, and a second current flows in a wiring closer to the speaker in the opposite direction.
- The electronic device includes a battery with an anode and a cathode of different lengths.
- A flexible printed circuit board is connected to the battery and surrounds part of its side surface.
- A speaker is stacked with the battery.
- The flexible printed circuit board has a power wiring connected to the anode and a ground wiring connected to the cathode.
- Due to the length difference between the cathode and the anode, a first current flows in the battery, and a second current flows in a wiring closer to the speaker in the opposite direction.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Portable electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, or laptops could benefit from this technology as it allows for efficient use of space and integration of components.
- Wearable devices such as smartwatches or fitness trackers could utilize this technology to enhance their functionality while maintaining a compact design.
- Medical devices that require a combination of batteries and speakers could benefit from the compact and efficient design provided by this technology.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Space optimization: The different lengths of the anode and cathode in the battery, along with the flexible printed circuit board, allow for efficient use of space within the electronic device.
- Integration of components: The stacking of the speaker with the battery and the electrical connections provided by the flexible printed circuit board enable the integration of multiple components in a compact form factor.
Benefits of this technology:
- Compact design: The integration of the battery, flexible printed circuit board, and speaker in a stacked configuration allows for a compact design of the electronic device.
- Efficient use of space: The different lengths of the anode and cathode in the battery, along with the surrounding flexible printed circuit board, optimize the use of available space within the device.
- Enhanced functionality: The combination of the battery, flexible printed circuit board, and speaker enables the device to perform multiple functions efficiently.
Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device according to an embodiment of the disclosure may include: a battery including an anode having a first length and a cathode having a second length different from the first length, a flexible printed circuit board electrically connected to the battery and surrounding at least part of a side surface of the battery, and a speaker stacked with the battery. The flexible printed circuit board may include a power wiring electrically connected to the anode and a ground wiring electrically connected to the cathode. A first current of a first winding direction generated due to a length difference between the cathode and the anode may flow in the battery, and a second current of a second winding direction opposite to the first winding direction may flow in a wiring disposed closer to the speaker between the power wiring and the ground wiring.
