ELECTRONIC APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240283358 titled 'ELECTRONIC APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD
The abstract of the patent application describes an apparatus that connects to a power source device and an external apparatus. It controls the power input from the power source device, steps up or steps down the voltage, and sets a path for the power output to the external apparatus. The apparatus acquires attribute information of the power source device and the required voltage of the external apparatus to switch between paths with or without voltage conversion.
- The apparatus connects to a power source device and an external apparatus.
- It controls the power input and output, stepping up or stepping down the voltage.
- The apparatus sets a path for the power output to the external apparatus.
- It acquires attribute information of the power source device and the required voltage of the external apparatus.
- Based on this information, it switches between paths with or without voltage conversion.
Potential Applications: - Power management systems - Voltage conversion devices - Electronic devices requiring specific voltage levels
Problems Solved: - Efficient power distribution - Voltage compatibility between devices
Benefits: - Optimal power utilization - Enhanced device performance - Reduced risk of damage due to incorrect voltage levels
Commercial Applications: Title: "Smart Voltage Control Apparatus for Enhanced Power Management" This technology can be used in various industries such as electronics manufacturing, telecommunications, and renewable energy systems. It can improve energy efficiency and device performance, leading to cost savings and enhanced reliability.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the apparatus acquire attribute information of the power source device?
The apparatus acquires attribute information through a data exchange protocol or communication interface.
2. What are the key factors that determine whether the apparatus switches between paths with or without voltage conversion?
The key factors include the voltage requirements of the external apparatus and the attributes of the power source device.
Original Abstract Submitted
an apparatus connects to a power source device and an external apparatus, controls power input from the power source device and power output to the external apparatus, steps up or steps down voltage of the power input from the power source device, and sets a path through which the power input from the power source device is output to the external apparatus. the apparatus acquires attribute information of the power source device and required voltage of the external apparatus and, performs control, based on the attribute information and the required voltage, to switch between a path through which the power input from the power source device is output to the external apparatus via a voltage conversion, and a path through which the power input from the power source device is output to the external apparatus not via the voltage conversion.
