Abstract
Smart battery charging solutions are disclosed. The smart charging solutions of the disclosure enable a user to configure a mobile device with individualized battery charging settings. The user specific settings may be combined with system settings to generate rules on battery charging. Context awareness is achieved through various sensors and through information sharing within and among the systems of the mobile device. The battery charging rules and the context awareness information are used together in controlling the charging of a battery.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a power charge circuit configured to implement a battery charging operation on a battery of a device;
- one or more sensors configured to detect a context of the battery charging operation;
- and
- a control unit configured to control the power charge circuit in the battery charging operation based on the detected context including an operation status of the device in a multimedia content playback operation;
- wherein the control unit controls the power charge circuit to implement a fast charging mode in response to that the device is in the multimedia content playback operation.
2 more elements
A mobile device, comprising:
- a battery;
- one or more sensors including an acoustic sensor configured to detect a context of charging the battery;
- a battery charging circuitry;
- a control unit configured to control the battery charging circuitry in charging the battery based on a battery charging rule, the control unit including a storage medium containing executable instructions which, when executed by a processor of the control unit, configures the processor to implement actions including:
- receiving a battery charging configuration setting,
- determining the battery charging rule based on the battery charging configuration setting;
- receiving the context of charging the battery from the one or more sensors including the acoustic sensor;
- outputting a control signal to the battery charging circuitry based on the battery charging rule and the context of charging the battery including the context received from the acoustic sensor.
5 more elements
