发明名称 SMART CIRCUIT BREAKER FOR DEVICE CHARGERS
摘要 A circuit breaker device may wirelessly communicate with a user device, in order to supply power to the user device, via a charger, at times when charging the user device may be desirable. The circuit breaker device may also forgo supplying power to the user device, via the charger, at times when charging the user device may not be necessary. The user device may request charging at certain times, such as when a charge level of the battery is excessively low, and/or when an alarm clock, set by a user of the user device, is about to ring.
