The first is a multi-port power adapter that powers multiple electronic devices. The adapter is available in both wired and wireless charging modes. The second is a remote charging device that is divided into remote transmitters and receivers for The iPhone and iPad can also be charged away from the charging dock.
We know that wireless charging is currently facing no small technical problems, first of all, charging power is limited, followed by the wireless distance is limited.When you have multiple devices need to charge, add at the same time wireless charging, the efficiency will be lower, the same distance The farther the wireless charging transmitter, the charging efficiency will also become lower.
And Apple made a bold assumption that the new patent showed a 'wireless charging intelligent scheduling system' in the traditional charging scenario is basically 'put down charge', 'picked up the end' form, and intelligent scheduling system can be based on Different settings, arrange the charging status of different devices.
Users can set priorities for charging different Apple devices in a specific order, such as setting up the most needed iPhone for preemption, followed by Apple Watch, then iPad.
Users can also set more complex charging preferences, such as - when the iPad less than 25% of the time to start charging; according to your calendar and reminder charging arrangements, such as the calendar shows that next Monday morning you have to go out to work, Then the system will give priority to fully recharge the iPhone on Sunday evenings.
Apple's long-distance charging technology, exposed from a few years ago, and continue to practice, AirPower available in 2018 can be seen as a basic experimental field, the future we hope to see Apple in the AirPower Generation 2 remote wireless charging.
As for the new patent, this magical "wireless charging smart dispatch system" is also very valuable, but it requires a very close interconnection between devices, and requires better AI and accurate program to control them, to achieve the difficulty Not small, but at least Apple has come up with a very creative solution, chances are we will see it in the wireless charging black technology.
