Abstract
A charging device receives charge data from a device connected to the charging device. The charge data corresponds to an amount of stored energy in a battery connected to the device. A charge level for the device is determined based on the received charge data. An interface forming part of the device displays the determined charge level such that (i) a visual representation of the charge level is displayed in a first orientation when the charge level is less than a threshold value and (ii) the visual representation of the charge level is displayed in a second orientation when the charge level is greater than or equal to the threshold value.
Claims23
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a charging device, charge data from a device operatively connected to the charging device, the charge data corresponding to an amount of stored energy in a battery operatively connected to the device;
- determining a charge level for the device, based at least on the received charge data;
- and
- displaying, in an interface forming part of the device, the determined charge level such that a visual representation of the charge level is displayed in a first orientation when the charge level is less than a threshold value and the visual representation of the charge level is displayed in a second orientation when the charge level is greater than or equal to the threshold value.
