Method for performing wireless charging control of an electronic device with aid of variant slot timing and simple response indicating acknowledgement, and associated apparatus
First Claim
1. A method for performing wireless charging control of an electronic device, the method comprising the steps of:
- detecting, by a controller of the electronic device, a voltage level of a direct current (DC) output at a DC output terminal of a rectifier in the electronic device;
determining, by the controller, whether the voltage level of the direct current output at the DC output terminal of the rectifier falls within a first voltage range;
generating, by the controller, a first detection result indicating whether the voltage level of the DC output at the DC output terminal of the rectifier falls within the first voltage range; and
by a communications module of the electronic device, selectively sending at least one packet to a wireless charging device, wherein the at least one packet is sent with a timing that is based on the first detection result, and wherein the at least one packet is utilized for carrying wireless charging information of the electronic device.

Abstract
A method for performing wireless charging control of an electronic device and an associated apparatus are provided, where the method may include: determining whether a voltage level of a direct current (DC) output at a DC output terminal of a rectifier in the electronic device is greater than a first voltage threshold to generate a first detection result; and according to the first detection result, selectively sending at least one random phase-delay packet, wherein each random phase-delay packet of the at least one random phase-delay packet has a random phase-delay with respect to a time slot, and the at least one random phase-delay packet is utilized for carrying information of at least one wireless charging report of the electronic device. More particularly, a wireless charging device is arranged to wirelessly charge the electronic device, and the electronic device does not obtain information from the wireless charging device through any packet.
