Battery charging control for wireless headphones

Abstract:

A method of controlling charging of a wireless headphone device includes estimating a usage time value that corresponds to an anticipated future occurrence of usage of the wireless headphone device and estimating a resume time value that corresponds to a time for charging to commence to allow for completion of charging from a first predetermined state of charge value to a second predetermined state of charge value by the usage time value. The method also includes determining that the wireless headphone device has been placed in a charging case. A battery of the wireless headphone device is charged to the first predetermined state of charge value and then enters a deactivated mode, wherein the charging case is configured to return the wireless headphone device to an activated mode according to the resume time value.
