Devices and Methods for Power Transmission Level Indication

摘要

Devices and methods are disclosed which relate to a wireless communications device comprising a wireless power transmission detector and a wireless power transmission indicator for displaying to a user the current level of wireless power transmission. A voltmeter and ammeter take readings from the wireless transceiver circuit while the wireless communications device is on. A power logic stored on a memory within the wireless communications device converts the readings into a wireless power transmission level. The wireless power transmission level is output to an indicator on the wireless communications device where a user can view it. Exemplary embodiments include a true battery life indicator on the wireless communications device. The true battery life indicator gives an amount of time a battery powering the wireless communications device will last at the current wireless power transmission level.

主权项

1. A device comprising:
a processor; and a memory that stores computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
calculating, based upon a voltage reading obtained using a voltmeter and a current reading obtained using an ammeter, a power transmission level of the device,determining an amount of energy remaining in a battery associated with the device,calculating, based upon the power transmission level and the amount of energy remaining in the battery, an amount of time the battery will last, anddisplaying the amount of time at a display associated with the device.
