Vehicles and vehicle systems for wirelessly charging portable electronic devices
First Claim
1. A vehicle for wirelessly charging a portable electronic device, the vehicle comprising:
- one or more processors;
one or more memory modules communicatively coupled to the one or more processors;
a display communicatively coupled to the one or more processors;
a wireless charger module communicatively coupled to the one or more processors, communicatively coupled to the display, and electrically coupled to an electrical system of the vehicle, the wireless charger module being configured to charge the portable electronic device; and
machine readable instructions stored in the one or more memory modules that cause the vehicle to perform at least the following when executed by the one or more processors;
present a wireless charger module input control on the display;
detect tactile input indicative of a selection of the wireless charger module input control;
control the wireless charger module, in response to detecting the tactile input, thereby wirelessly charging the portable electronic device;
monitor a level of power consumption of the wireless charger module; and
determine an estimated charge completion time for the portable electronic device at least based on the level of power consumption of the wireless charger module.

Abstract
Vehicles and vehicle systems for wirelessly charging portable electronic devices are disclosed. A vehicle includes one or more processors, one or more memory modules, a display, a wireless charger module, and machine readable instructions stored in the one or more memory modules. When executed by the one or more processors, the machine readable instructions cause the vehicle to present a wireless charger module input control on the display, detect tactile input indicative of a selection of the wireless charger module input control, and control the wireless charger module, in response to detecting the tactile input, thereby wirelessly charging the portable electronic device.
