Wireless charging control based on electronic device events

Last updated:

Abstract:

An electronic device may include a battery, and a charging system in electronic communication with the battery. The charging system may be configured to initiate a charging of the batter when the battery is in a partially-depleted state. The charging system may then discontinue the charging in response to the battery being charged to the threshold charge value, and may monitor the function of the electronic device to predict an event of the electronic device. After the event is predicted, the charging system may determine when to initiate a recharging process, so that the battery is fully charged when the event occurs.
