Abstract
A method and apparatus for monitoring an internet-of-things (IoT) battery device (IBD). An example IBD includes a radio transceiver to communicate with an IoT charging device (ICD), a battery, and a battery monitor to determine a state of charge for the battery. An alerter is included to send an alert message to the ICD, via the radio transceiver, to indicate that the SoCh is less than an alert threshold.
Claims25
An apparatus, comprising an internet-of-things (IoT) battery device (IBD), comprising:
- a radio transceiver to communicate with an IoT charging device (ICD);
- a battery;
- a battery monitor to determine a state of charge (SoCh) for the battery;
- and
- an alerter to send an alert message to the ICD, via the radio transceiver, to indicate that the SoCh is less than an alert threshold.
A method for monitoring an Internet of Things (IoT) battery device (IBD), comprising:
- initiating communications from the IBD to an IoT charging device (ICD);
- determining a state of charge (SoCh) of a battery in the IBD;
- analyzing the SoCh to determine if a threshold limit has been crossed;
- and
- sending an alert message to the ICD if the threshold has been crossed.
A non-transitory, machine readable medium comprising instructions to direct an MCU in an internet of things (IoT) battery device (IBD) to:
- communicate with an IoT charging device (ICD);
- determine a state of charge (SoCh) of a battery;
- analyze the SoCh to determine if a threshold limit has been crossed;
- create an alert message comprising the SoCh;
- and
- send the alert message to an ICD.
