Abstract:
A method and apparatus for implementing a charging process is provided. The method includes determining that a charging surface of a mobile device is currently located on a charging surface of a structure including a charging apparatus. The charging surface of the mobile device includes charge receiving contacts electrically connected to a battery and a processor. The charging surface of the structure includes charging contacts electrically connected to a charging circuit and in communication with a controller. The processor determines that at least two contacts of the charge receiving contacts are in electro/mechanical contact with at least two contacts of the charging contacts and in response, a negotiation process with the controller with respect to selecting at least one associated charging voltage and polarity for charging the battery is executed resulting in a charging process between the charging circuit and the battery being enabled.

Claim (Index 20):
A mobile device comprising a processor coupled to a computer-readable memory unit, said memory unit comprising instructions that when executed by the processor executes a battery charging improvement method comprising:\n first determining, by said processor, that a charging surface of said mobile device is currently located on a charging surface of a structure comprising a charging apparatus, wherein said charging surface of said mobile device comprises a plurality of charge receiving contacts electrically connected to a battery and in communication with said processor, and wherein said charging surface of said structure comprises a plurality of charging contacts electrically connected to a charging circuit and in communication with a controller; executing, by said processor in response to results of second determining that at least two contacts of said plurality of charge receiving contacts are in electro/mechanical contact with at least two contacts of said plurality of charging contacts, a negotiation process with said controller with respect to selecting at least one associated charging voltage and polarity for charging said battery; and enabling, by said processor in response to results of said negotiation process, a charging process between said charging circuit and said battery, wherein said charging process comprises:\n receiving, by said processor from temperature sensors and circuitry of said structure first temperature readings associated with a temperature of a transformer and associated charging circuitry of said structure; \n detecting, by said processor enabling temperature sensors and circuitry of said mobile device, a temperature reading of said structure; \n activating, by said processor based on said first temperature readings and said temperature reading of said structure, a voltage regulator and a relay, of said structure, such that a voltage signal is generated, via said transformer and said voltage regulator, and transferred through said relay from said at least two contacts of said plurality of charging contacts to said at least two contacts of said plurality of charge receiving contacts resulting in said battery being automatically charged.
