Wireless charging control based on electronic device events
First Claim
1. An electronic device, comprising:
- a battery; and
a wireless charging system in electronic communication with the battery and configured to;
inductively couple to a wireless charging device;
initiate charging of the battery at a first charge rate;
discontinue the charging, thereby causing depletion of the battery;
determine an event time of an event of the electronic device;
determine, based on the event time, a charge time at which the wireless charging system should reinitiate charging; and
initiate, at the charge time, charging of the battery at a second charge rate different from the first charge rate.

Abstract
An electronic device. The electronic device may include a battery, and a charging system in electronic communication with the battery. The charging system may be configured to charge at least a partially-depleted battery to a threshold charge value, discontinue the charging in response to the battery being charged to the threshold charge value, and monitor the function of the electronic device to detect at least one of an anticipated event, and an unanticipated event of the electronic device. Additionally the charging system may be configured to recharge the battery in response to detecting one of: the anticipated event occurring a predetermined time subsequent to the recharging of the battery, or the unanticipated event occurring immediately before the recharging of the battery.

15. A method for charging a battery of an electronic device, the method comprising:
-
inductively charging the battery of the electronic device at a first charge rate; discontinuing the inductive charging at the first charge rate, thereby causing depletion of the battery; determining an event time of an event of the electronic device; determining, based on the event time, a charge time at which inductive charging should be reinitiated; and initiating, at the charge time, inductive charging of the battery at a second charge rate different from the first charge rate. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
