Systems, methods, and apparatus related to wireless charging management

摘要

Various systems, methods, and apparatuses for operating a wireless charging device in an electric vehicle are disclosed. One method includes detecting a system fault indicative of one or more faults in the wireless charging device in the electric vehicle or in the transmitter. The method further includes determining a fault severity level from a plurality of fault severity levels based on a type of the system fault detected. A total number of types of system faults can be greater than a total number of the plurality of fault severity levels. The method further includes performing one or more system fault response operation based on the determined fault severity level. Each of the plurality of fault severity levels can be associated with a different set of system fault response operations.

1. A method of operating a wireless charging device in an electric vehicle, the wireless charging device configured to wirelessly receive power via a wireless field generated by a transmitter, the method comprising:
detecting a system fault indicative of one or more faults in the wireless charging device in the electric vehicle or in the transmitter; mapping the detected system fault to a fault severity level from a plurality of fault severity levels, based on a type of the system fault detected, wherein a total number of types of detectable system faults is greater than a total number of the plurality of fault severity levels; determining whether to notify a user of the detected system fault based on the fault severity level; and recovering from the detected system fault without providing user notification for at least one fault severity level of the plurality of fault severity levels.
