Abstract
A charging device for a portable device, e.g., in a motor vehicle, includes a resonant circuit, controllable by a trigger device, for inductive transmission of energy to the portable device, wherein the trigger device is designed such that the curve shape of the excitation for the resonant circuit is generated based on an operating state of the charging device.
Claims18
A charging device for a portable device of a motor vehicle, comprising:
- a resonant circuit configured to inductively transmit energy to the portable device;
- and
- an actuation apparatus configured to control the resonant circuit, wherein the actuation apparatus is configured such that a curve shape of an excitation of the resonant circuit is generated as a function of an operating state of the charging device.
A method for operating a charging device for a portable device of a motor vehicle, comprising:
- providing a resonant circuit of the charging device for inductively transmitting energy to the portable device, and
- controlling the resonant circuit using an actuation apparatus, including generating a curve shape of an excitation of the resonant circuit as a function of an operating state of the charging device.
