Abstract
A system may include a mobile unit including a power source and a load coupled to the power source. The mobile unit may further include a communication device configured to generate a first signal. Further, the mobile unit may include circuitry including at least one switch and configured to: responsive to the first signal, disconnect, via the at least one switch, the load from the power source; and reconnect, via the at least one switch, the load to the power source. Associated methods and mobile units are also disclosed.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- a mobile unit, comprising:
- a power source;
- a load coupled to the power source;
- a communication device configured to generate a first signal;
- and
- circuitry including at least one switch and configured to:
- responsive to the first signal, disconnect, via the at least one switch, the load from the power source;
- and
- reconnect, via the at least one switch, the load to the power source.
A method of resetting a load of a mobile unit, the method comprising:
- generating a pulse signal via a communication device of a mobile unit;
- responsive to the pulse signal, disconnecting, via at least one switch, a load of the mobile unit from at least one battery of the mobile unit;
- and
- reconnecting, via the at least one switch, the load to the at least one battery after a predetermined time period.
A mobile unit, comprising:
- at least one power source;
- a load coupled to the at least one power source;
- a communication device configured to generate a pulse signal;
- and
- circuitry including at least one switch, the circuitry configured to, responsive to receipt of the pulse signal, disconnect the load from the at least one power source via the at least one switch.
