Abstract
A processing system determines, based on a set of input datapoints, a current state of charge (SOC) of a battery of a hearing instrument. Additionally, the processing system determines a predicted agenda of the hearing instrument, the predicted agenda comprising one or more future time segments. The processing system estimates, based on the current state of charge and the predicted agenda of the hearing instrument, an amount of time remaining until the future SOC of the battery of the hearing instrument reaches a threshold.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- determining, by a processing system, based on a set of input datapoints, a current state of charge (SOC) of a battery of a hearing instrument;
- determining, by the processing system, a predicted agenda for the hearing instrument, wherein the predicted agenda comprises one or more future time segments and each of the future time segments corresponds to a device state of the hearing instrument in a plurality of possible device states;
- and
- estimating, by the processing system, based on the current state of charge and the predicted agenda, an amount of time remaining until a future SOC of the battery of the hearing instrument reaches a threshold.
A system comprising:
- a hearing instrument comprising a battery;
- and
- a processing system configured to:
- determine, based on a set of input datapoints, a current state of charge (SOC) of the battery of the hearing instrument;
- determine, a predicted agenda for the hearing instrument, wherein the predicted agenda comprises one or more future time segments and each of the future time segments corresponds to a device state of the hearing instrument in a plurality of possible device states;
- and
- estimate, based on the current state of charge and the predicted agenda, an amount of time remaining until a future SOC of the battery of the hearing instrument reaches a threshold.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed, cause a processing system to:
- determine, based on a set of input datapoints, a current state of charge (SOC) of a battery of a hearing instrument;
- determine a predicted agenda for the hearing instrument, wherein the predicted agenda comprises one or more future time segments and each of the future time segments corresponds to a device state of the hearing instrument in a plurality of possible device states;
- and
- estimate, based on the current state of charge and the predicted agenda, an amount of time remaining until a future SOC of the battery of the hearing instrument reaches a threshold.
