Wireless charging base with integrated short range communication

摘要

A wide area communication system includes a mobile communication device and an inductive charging base that charges the battery of the wireless mobile communication device through inductive coupling. The inductive charging base may receive data from the wireless mobile communication device via a short range wireless communication link while the wireless mobile communication device is charging using the inductive charging base. One or more applications stored on the wireless mobile communication device can be automatically activated and data can be sent from the wireless mobile communication device to the inductive charging base via the short range wireless communication link, only while the wireless mobile communication device is Bluetooth paired with the inductive charging base and there is inductive coupling between the inductive charging base and the wireless mobile communication device.

主权项

1. A wireless mobile communication system comprising:
a wireless mobile communication device containing a battery and configured to wirelessly communicate with another device via a short range wireless communication link; and an inductive charging base configured to inductively charge the battery and to receive data from the wireless mobile communication device via the short range wireless communication link; wherein the wireless mobile communication device is configured to:
determine whether the wireless mobile communication device is connected with the inductive charging base via the short range wireless communication link,responsive to determining that the wireless mobile communication device is connected to the inductive charging base via the short range wireless communication link, determine whether the wireless mobile communication device is inductively coupled with the inductive charging base, andin response to determining that the wireless mobile communication device is both connected with the inductive charging base via the short range wireless communication link and inductively coupled with the inductive charging base, initiate the inductive charging of the battery and at least one of:(1) automatically activate an application stored on the wireless mobile communication device, or(2) send data via the short range communication link to the inductive charging base based upon execution of the application.
