First Claim
Patent Images
1. A wireless charging method for a battery in a mobile terminal that uses induced current, the method comprising:
- receiving the induced current generated by a charging pad;
determining a notification mode that is set for the terminal upon receipt of the induced current; and
setting the notification mode to a ring mode or a mute mode when the determined set notification mode is a specific mode.

Abstract
Disclosed is a mobile terminal and a wireless charging method thereof, in which when the mobile terminal performs a wireless charging of a battery using induced current generated from a charging pad, whether the terminal is in a vibration mode is checked, and if so, the vibration mode is changed into a ring mode or a mute mode to receive the induced current, thereby charging the battery, resulting in preventing lowering of charging efficiency, which is caused because the terminal does not meet an alignment condition due to vibration generated from the terminal.
