Abstract
A system and a method for charging a mobile device in a vehicle are provided. A method, performed by an electronic device, for controlling a wireless charging device in a vehicle includes: identifying at least one mobile device in the vehicle; obtaining state information of the identified mobile device; obtaining state information of the vehicle; and controlling power of a plurality of wireless charging devices in the vehicle based on a state of the mobile device and a state of the vehicle.
Claims13
A method, performed by an electronic device, of controlling a wireless charging device in a vehicle, the method comprising:
- identifying at least one mobile device in the vehicle;
- obtaining state information of the identified at least one mobile device;
- obtaining state information of the vehicle;
- controlling power and charging strengths of a plurality of wireless charging devices in the vehicle based on the state information of the mobile device and the state information of the vehicle;
- and
- controlling the charging strengths of the plurality of wireless charging devices in the vehicle based on information about a predicted arrival time obtained from a navigation device configured to guide a traveling path of the vehicle,
- wherein the state information of the vehicle includes information about a voltage of a battery in the vehicle and a current power consumption amount of the vehicle.
An electronic device for controlling a wireless charging device in a vehicle, the electronic device comprising:
- a communication unit configured to connect communication with at least one mobile device in the vehicle;
- a storage unit storing at least one instruction for controlling the wireless charging device in the vehicle;
- and
- a processor configured, by executing the stored at least one instruction, to identify at least one mobile device in the vehicle, obtain state information of the identified mobile device, obtain state information of the vehicle, control power and charging strengths of a plurality of wireless charging devices in the vehicle based on the state information of the mobile device and the state information of the vehicle, and control the charging strengths of the plurality of wireless charging devices in the vehicle based on information about a predicted arrival time obtained from a navigation device configured to guide a traveling path of the vehicle,
- wherein the state information of the vehicle includes information about a voltage of a battery in the vehicle and a current power consumption amount of the vehicle.
A computer program product comprising a non-transitory recording medium storing a program for performing a method of controlling a wireless charging device in a vehicle, the method comprising:
- identifying at least one mobile device in the vehicle;
- obtaining state information of the identified mobile device;
- obtaining state information of the vehicle;
- controlling power and charging strengths of a plurality of wireless charging devices in the vehicle based on the state information of the mobile device and the state information of the vehicle;
- and
- controlling the charging strengths of the plurality of wireless charging devices in the vehicle based on information about a predicted arrival time obtained from a navigation device configured to guide a traveling path of the vehicle,
- wherein the state information of the vehicle includes information about a voltage of a battery in the vehicle and a current power consumption amount of the vehicle.
