1Productivity
If wireless charger does not accurately determine required power of electronic device, then charging process is simple, but charging efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by having the wireless charger detect and determine the required power of the electronic device before the actual charging process begins. The control unit detects the electronic device's power requirements in advance, compares them with available residual power, and formulates a charging plan beforehand, ensuring efficient charging without unnecessary complexity during the charging execution phase.
2Use of energy by moving object
If wireless charger does not manage residual power effectively, then charging process is simple, but power utilization efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies feedback by implementing a closed-loop power management system where the control unit continuously monitors the residual power in the wireless charger, detects the electronic device's power requirements, compares available power with required power, and adjusts the charging parameters accordingly. This feedback mechanism ensures optimal power utilization while maintaining manageable system complexity through automated control.
3Productivity
If wireless charger provides guided charging decisions, then charging efficiency is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies merging by integrating multiple functions into a unified control unit that handles device identification, power requirement detection, residual power monitoring, comparison logic, and charging control all in one component. This consolidation improves charging efficiency through comprehensive guided charging decisions while preventing excessive system complexity by avoiding multiple separate modules for each function.
