Abstract
A smart charger and associated methods and systems are disclosed. The smart charger identifies an anticipatory event that triggers battery charging, selects a battery charging profile that matches the anticipatory event, charges the battery of a mobile device based on the battery charging profile, and updates criteria for identifying anticipatory events and/or the battery charging profile that matches the anticipatory event.
Claims20
A method for charging a battery of a mobile device, comprising:
- identifying, by a battery charging device, an anticipatory event that triggers battery charging;
- selecting from a plurality of battery charging profiles each indicating at least one of a different charging duration or different charging mode, by the battery charging device, a battery charging profile that matches the anticipatory event;
- charging, by the battery charging device, the battery of the mobile device based, at least in part, on the selected battery charging profile;
- and
- updating, by the battery charging device, one or more criteria for identifying anticipatory events that trigger battery charging.
One or more non-transitory computer-readable media collectively storing contents that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform actions comprising:
- identifying an anticipatory event that triggers battery charging;
- selecting, from a plurality of battery charging profiles each indicating at least one of a different charging duration or different charging mode, a battery charging profile that matches the anticipatory event;
- charging a battery of a mobile device based, at least in part, on the selected battery charging profile;
- and
- updating one or more criteria for identifying anticipatory events that trigger battery charging.
A battery charger comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- memory storing contents that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the battery charger to:
- identify an anticipatory event that triggers battery charging;
- select, from a plurality of battery charging profiles each indicating at least one of a different charging duration or different charging mode, a battery charging profile that matches the anticipatory event;
- cause charging of a battery of a mobile device based, at least in part, on the selected battery charging profile;
- and
- update one or more criteria for identifying anticipatory events that trigger battery charging.
