Abstract
A quick release and connect system that provides battery power for a wearable electronic device and a method for reducing battery charging down time of a wearable electronic device are disclosed. The quick release and connect system that provides battery power for a wearable electronic device and the method for reducing battery charging down time of a wearable electronic device reduces battery charging down time of a wearable electronic device by swapping of attachable-detachable auxiliary components with auxiliary batteries.
Claims15
A quick battery recharge system for wearable electronic devices, said battery and recharge system comprising:
- a device head of a wearable electronic device that is configured to provide electronic functions, said device head comprising device hardware and a processing component that is configured to carry out the electronic functions on the wearable electronic device;
- a plurality of auxiliary components that attaches to and detaches from the device head of the wearable electronic device;
- at least one auxiliary battery that is embedded within the plurality of auxiliary component;
- and
- wherein the device head comprises (i) a battery interface and controller (BIC) that detects charge levels of an onboard rechargeable battery and the at least one auxiliary battery and (ii) an electronics, sensors, and microprocessor unit (ESMU) that triggers automatic battery-related actions based on the charge levels of the onboard rechargeable battery and the auxiliary battery;
- wherein one or more auxiliary battery is a first auxiliary battery of a plurality of auxiliary batteries, wherein a second auxiliary battery of the plurality of auxiliary batteries is embedded within a second auxiliary component of the plurality of auxiliary components that attach to and detach from the device head of the wearable electronic device, wherein the second auxiliary component is different from the particular auxiliary component, wherein a quick release electro-mechanical connector is a first quick release electro-mechanical connector, wherein the plurality of quick release mechanical connectors further comprises a second quick release electro-mechanical connector that provides a second wired electric channel between the second auxiliary battery embedded within the second auxiliary component and the device head of the wearable electronic device, wherein electric current flows through the second wired electric channel from the second auxiliary battery embedded within the second auxiliary component to at least one of (i) the onboard rechargeable battery embedded within the device head and (ii) the device hardware and processing component that is configured to carry out the electronic functions on the wearable electronic device.
A quick battery recharge system for wearable electronic devices, said battery recharge system comprising:
- a device head of a wearable electronic device that is configured to provide electronic functions;
- an onboard rechargeable battery embedded within the device head of the wearable electronic device;
- at least one auxiliary components that attach to and detach from the device head of the wearable electronic device;
- at least one auxiliary battery that is embedded within a particular auxiliary component in at least one auxiliary components;
- and
- wherein the device head comprises (i) a battery interface and controller (BIC) that detects charge levels of an onboard rechargeable battery and the at least one auxiliary battery and (ii) an electronics, sensors, and microprocessor unit (ESMU) that triggers automatic battery-related actions based on the charge levels of the onboard rechargeable battery and the auxiliary battery;
- wherein the battery-related actions comprise transferring electric charge from the at least one auxiliary battery to the onboard rechargeable battery when the BIC detects less than a threshold low charge level for the onboard rechargeable battery.
