Abstract
A case for an electronic device is provided. The case includes a battery, an interface to receive electrical current from an external power source, and a computer processor. The computer processor is configured to execute computer-readable instructions to receive a communication from the electronic device, limit the received electrical current to a current limit, and allocate the electrical current among the battery and the electronic device based on the received communication.
Claims22
A case for an electronic device, the case comprising:
- a battery;
- an interface to receive electrical current from an external power source;
- and
- a computer processor configured to execute computer-readable instructions to:
- receive a communication from the electronic device;
- limit the received electrical current to a current limit;
- and
- allocate, based on the received communication, the received electrical current among the battery and the electronic device.
A protective enclosure for a mobile computing device, the protective enclosure comprising:
- a battery interface for interfacing to a rechargeable battery;
- an interface to receive electrical current from an external power source;
- and
- electrical circuitry configured to:
- exchange communications with the mobile computing device;
- and
- distribute a first portion of the received electrical current to the mobile computing device based on the communications.
A method of performing power management in a protective case for an electronic device, the method comprising:
