Corporation of Cupertino has come up with a real and practical mechanism for wireless charging of mobile devices, AppleInsider writes with reference to the patent application.
This application, under the heading Using wireless energy in the local computing environment, has been published by the Bureau of Patents and Trademark Office on Thursday, November 29. Filed in the office it was two years ago, in November 2010.
Apple technologies proposed to use a so-called low magnetic field resonance for transmission power when the transmitter is a cavity and the receiver operates at a frequency of the resonator to obtain energy.
It is worth noting the resonator can be as a standalone unit or USB-adapter and a desktop computer or laptop. Mobile devices such as smartphones, tablets, and computer accessories - keyboard, mouse - should be at no more than a meter from the cavity, the so-called virtual recharge zone.
Thus, the technology is easy that the gadgets are not necessary to put on a special device to charge, they may be comfortable for a person away from the energy source.
Moreover, these mobile devices and accessories can be used as repeaters. For example, if smart lies away from the cavity, it can be recharged through the keyboard. To connect the gadget to the resonator is proposed to use the standard wireless technology, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
Recall that in addition to Apple, interest in the wireless transfer of energy takes Intel. Companies engaged together promising technology. For example, the standard high-speed data transfer Thunderbolt was their joint development.
In addition, the market there are already some devices, such as, Nokia Lumia 920 that support the wireless transfer of energy Qi, developed by a consortium Wireless Power Consortium in 2010
Earlier it was reported that the group of companies, which is responsible for the development of the technology of wireless charging of mobile devices, presented the first specification. The new flexible specification, as noted by the alliance Alliance for Wireless Power (A4WP), «will allow consumers to charge from a mobile device on a set of compatible surfaces.
