Abstract

The invention is directed to a connected charging device configured to be paired with at least one chargeable device for performing a charging session of said at least one chargeable device, wherein during said charging session the charging device is configured to store at least one real-time data related to the power/charging status of the at least one chargeable device and transmit the data to a cloud based data store and analytics module, together with said charging device ID for monitoring power profile behaviour of said at least one chargeable device. The invention is further directed to a system comprising a cloud based data store and analytics module; said system is configured to receive data from an at least one charging device; wherein said data being received during a charging session performed by said at least one charging device, wherein said data being related to the power/charging status of a chargeable device being charged by said charging device during said charging session; wherein said analytic module is configured for analysing said data and for managing said charging device and/or chargeable device as a result of said analysis.

Claims

1. A connected charging device configured to be paired with at least one chargeable device for performing a charging session of said at least one chargeable device, wherein during said charging session the charging device is configured to store at least one real-time data related to the power/charging status of the at least one chargeable device and transmit the data to a cloud based data store and analytics module, together with said charging device ID for monitoring power profile behaviour of said at least one chargeable device.

2. A connected charging device according to claim 1, wherein said real-time data related to the power/charging status of the at least one chargeable device is selected from the group consisting of:

the chargeable device identification number (ID), the battery status of said chargeable device at the beginning of said charging session, the battery status of said chargeable device during charging session, the charging start time, the battery status of said chargeable device at the end of said charging session the charging end time, the charging end reason, and the charging profile.

3. A connected charging device according to claim 1, wherein said power profile behaviour is obtained by real time data of performances and functionality parameters measured during said charging session.

4. A connected charging device according to claim 3, wherein said real time data of performances and functionality parameters measured during the charging session is compared to manufacturer and/or designer data specification of each chargeable device and/or the power components of each chargeable device so as to allow analysis of said data.

5. A connected charging device according to claim 1, wherein said real time data transmitted to the cloud based data store and analytics module, together with said charging device ID is used for at least one of the following power management activities:

managing the charging profile of said at least one device under charge, providing notification services to clients, providing application services to clients, allowing override of charging profile versions and version updates, allowing forced power saved operation mode to said at least one chargeable device.

6. A connected charging device according to claim 1, wherein said real time data of performances and functionality parameters measured during the charging session is compared to plurality of data obtained by other connected charging devices so as to create a real life power requirement and usability pattern database of chargeable devices.

7. A connected charging device according to claim 6, wherein said real life power requirement and usability pattern database is further configured to contain data related to power requirements and usability pattern directly from at least one of:

smart chargeable devices while not being charged and connected non-chargeable devices.

8. A power management system comprising:

a. at least one connected charging device configured to be paired with at least one chargeable device for performing a charging session of said at least one chargeable device, wherein during said charging session the charging device is configured to store at least one real- time data related to the power/charging status of the at least one chargeable device and transmit the data to a cloud based data store and analytics module, together with said charging device ID for monitoring power profile behaviour of said at least one chargeable device.

b. at least one chargeable device configured to be paired and charged by said connected charging device; and

c. a cloud based data store and analytics module configured to obtain at least one real time data related to the charging session for storing and managing the power consumption profile of said at least one chargeable device and provide cloud based services to a client of said cloud data store and analytic module.

9. A power management system, according to claim 8, wherein said real-time data related to the power/charging status of the at least one chargeable device is selected from the group consisting of:
