Description:
WIRELESS POWER CHARGER AND CHARGING METHOD

THEREOF

FIELD OF TECHNOLOGY

[0001 ] The present invention relates generally to charging units. More particularly, the present invention relates to a wireless power charger and a charging method thereof.

BACKGROUND

[0002] With the advancement of technology, and day by day change in user lifestyles, smart electronic devices such as a mobile phone or smart phone, a portable music player like an iPodĀ® or an MP3 player, a tablet, a portable gaming unit, a camera, and other electronic products have been widely accepted in the market. Current smart devices have gradually been taking the replacement of conventional electronic devices, such as cellular mobile devices are being replaced by smart phones, conventional digital cameras are being replaced with high quality smart cameras, and the like. However, the smart devices are equipped with larger screens and higher resolution, and one or more processors that can consume more power than conventional electronic devices. Even though the users are enjoying the features provided by the smart devices, but at the same time drainage of power has become a bigger inconvenience for the users.

[0003] To solve the problem, each of these devices requires frequent recharging. Such electronic devices typically utilize a cable for connecting the device to a power source, such as a wall outlet, a car charger, an airplane charger, or a computer. However, a separate cable is usually required for each power source. Moreover, different electronic devices often utilize different connection ports and interfaces such that a single charging cable is not compatible with multiple devices. Accordingly, a tech-savvy consumer, with several electronic devices, will usually have multiple charging cables to keep track of. Even then, the consumer may be without sufficient power to recharge a phone due to bad weather or a power outage, or due to unavailability of charging ports during travel, or may not always be in a place where a power source is readily available, or even if so, may not have the appropriate cable or adapter available to use with a particular power source.

[0004] To solve the herein above-mentioned problems, people came up with devices such as power banks aka external battery packs that can provide the required additional power to the smart devices on the move. The power banks can be connected to the charging ports and can be charged, and when during normal use the smart device requires additional power, then the smart device can be connected to the power bank and the required power charge can be provided to it, thereby overcoming the problem of power crisis at that instance.

[0005] But, what if the smart device consumes all the power provided by the power bank and still requires more power? In that instance, the smart device may face a power crisis as well as the power bank not having any power. Further, in the current telecommunication world, most of the users use smart phones and other electronic gadgets that work using wireless communication technology. Even though most of the devices run on wireless technology, most of the wireless radio frequency (RF) waveforms including, but not limited to, GSM, CDMA, AM, FM, 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, 5GHz Wi-Fi, Microwave, Milliwave, Bluetooth, Infrared, and the like; all the smart devices completely fail to consume all the waveforms transmitted to them and portions will get dispersed in the air.

[0006] The dispersed RF waveform or signal can be of no use to the smart device as it is a stray signal. Currently, there is no method or wireless power charger device available that can use the stray signals left by the smart devices and can generate current from that so that the generated current can be used for charging of the smart devices. Further, there is no method or power charger device available that can provide the information to the user upon complete charging of the smart device.

[0007] Thus, there is a compelling need for a device, and a method that can use RF waveforms to generate current that can be used for charging of the smart devices. Further, there is a need for a device, and a method that can provide the information to the user upon complete charging of the smart device.

[0008] The above-mentioned shortcomings, disadvantages and problems are addressed herein and which will be understood by reading and studying the following specifications.
