Abstract:
1. A method for operating an application, the application is selected from one of a mobile communication device, a vehicle, display device, or computing device, the method including a process for monitoring and predicting a state of a battery device while the battery device is configured with the application, comprising: detecting, by a processor, a current and a voltage of the battery device in the application using one or more sensing device coupled to an electronic circuit structure; capturing, by a processor, a current value associated with the current and a voltage value associated with the voltage; processing, by a processor, the current value and the voltage value; determining, by a processor, a state of charge of the battery device using at least a prediction-correction process including the current value and the voltage value, an arbitrary number of representative resistors and capacitors associated with a battery equivalent circuit model, and an unscented transform; storing, by a processor, the state of charge in one or more memories; outputting, by a processor, the stating of charge; and using the state of charge for the application; whereupon the unscented filter transform comprises a Gaussian process for selection of more than two Sigma points.
