Abstract
A Battery Management System (BMS) for an electronic device with bidirectional communication between The BMS and an Operating System (OS) of the electronic device for generating a charging pattern of charging the battery of the electronic device according to information received from the operating system.
Claims31
A method of managing a battery of an electronic device, the method comprising:
- obtaining first information on functional parameters for indicating a status of the battery;
- obtaining second information on user activity for the electronic device;
- obtaining third information on an operational status of the electronic device;
- identifying that a charge of the battery is required based on the first information, the second information, and the third information;
- determining at least one charging scheme to charge the battery based on the first information, the second information, and the third information after identifying that the charge of the battery is required;
- and
- performing an action for charging the battery according to the determined at least one charging scheme.
An electronic device comprising:
- a memory configured to store computer-readable instructions;
- and
- a processor configured to execute the computer-readable instructions, which when executed cause a battery management system (BMS) to:
- obtain first information on functional parameters for indicating a status of a battery of the electronic device,
- obtain second information on user activity for the electronic device,
- obtain third information on an operational status of the electronic device,
- identify that a charge of the battery is required based on the first information, the second information, and the third information,
- determine at least one charging scheme to charge the battery based on the first information, the second information, and the third information after identifying that the charge of the battery is required, and
- perform an action for charging the battery according to the determined at least one charging scheme.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon computer-executable instructions that when executed by a processor of an electronic device cause the processor to perform a method of managing a battery of the electronic device, the method comprising:
- obtaining first information on functional parameters for indicating a status of the battery;
- obtaining second information on user activity for the electronic device;
- obtaining third information on an operational status of the electronic device;
- identifying that a charge of the battery is required based on the first information, the second information, and the third information;
- determining at least one charging scheme to charge the battery based on the first information, the second information, and the third information after identifying that the charge of the battery is required;
- and
- performing an action for charging the battery according to the determined at least one charging scheme.
