Mobile terminal charging device and automobile using same
First Claim
1. A mobile terminal charging device comprising:
- a body case having an installation plate disposed on an upper surface of the body case;
a detector that is provided on or below the installation plate, and detects a position of a mobile terminal that is present on an upper surface of the installation plate;
a charging coil that is movably disposed inside the body case, in a state of facing a lower surface of the installation plate;
a drive unit that moves the charging coil in a state of facing the lower surface of the installation plate;
a charging controller that is connected to the drive unit and the charging coil; and
a charging communication unit that is connected to the charging controller and communicates with the mobile terminal,wherein, if a charging stop request and a stop reason are acquired from the mobile terminal, the charging controller stops charging and sets a determination distance between a position of the mobile terminal and a position of the charging coil to a first set distance or a second set distance which is less than the first set distance, depending on the stop reason, the determination distance being a reference to resume the charging, andwherein, if a distance between the position of the mobile terminal which is acquired from the detector and the position of the charging coil is greater than the determination distance, the charging controller moves the charging coil to a portion corresponding to the position of the mobile terminal which is detected by the detector, using the drive unit, and thereafter resumes charging.

Abstract
In a case where a mobile terminal charging device stops charging due to a decrease of charging efficiency, the cause thereof is, for example, that the mobile terminal is slightly moved on the upper surface of the installation plate, due to the vibration and inertia resulting from the driving of the automobile. In such a case, the mobile terminal charging device moves the charging coil to a portion corresponding to the position of the mobile terminal which is detected by the detector, using a drive unit, and thereafter resumes charging, in a condition that the position of the mobile terminal which is detected by the detector and the position of the charging coil are separated from each other by the second set distance or more.
