Embodiment Construction

1 Designed Schemes to Reduce Energy Consumption

[0029]In this sub-section, we introduce apparatus and methods to reduce energy consumption in smartphones. This section is focused on unsustainable usage of battery. This will reduce life of a battery and decrease energy efficiency. For example, a battery used in high temperature or plugged in all day to the charger while is fully charged will have a shorter lifespan.

1.1 A New Implementation for Charger Mechanism

[0030]To reduce energy consumption, a charger plug is designed which is slightly difficult to detach from the product while the battery is undercharged, but can be easily removed when the battery is fully charged. FIG. 1 shows a new design for charger plug in, where its attachment mechanism is controlled by an electro-magnetic field. The electromagnetic field weakens as the battery is charged. A slightly different design automatically disconnects the charging cable from the smartphone power port by making the connection loose wh...

Abstract

This disclosure describes novel schemes and utilities that promote sustainable usage of smartphones. It describes apparatus and methods to prevent phone loss, prevent overheating problems, decrease energy waste of the battery, prevent overcharging, decrease packaging waste, and encourage sustainable behavior among users to increase the life of the electronic product. In addition, this application characterize mechanism for localization of people and objects. The apparatus and methods may be applied to promote sustainable usage of other electronic devices such as tablets, laptops, pocket PCs, personal digital assistants (PDAs), e-readers, wearable devices, and etc. In addition, a framework has been presented which can be applied to promote sustainable behavior for any consumer electronics products including smartphones. In addition, novel localization apparatus and methods is presented in this application that can be applied for general localization/tracking purposes.
