收集輻射電力並對輻射電力整流以用於對電池組充電。天 、線大體而言具諧振長度以便改良耦合效率。此方法遭受以 下事貫·電力耦合隨天線之間的距離而迅速減少,使得在 適田距離(例如,小於丨至2公尺)上之充電變得困難。另 外,因為傳輸系統輻射平面波,所以無意之輕射若未經由 遽波來適當控制,則可干擾其他系統。 無線能量傳輸技術之其他方法係基於(例如)嵌入於「充 電」裝置、墊或表面中之傳輸天線與嵌入於待充電之主電 子裝置中之接收天線(加上整流電路)之間的電感耦合。此 方法具有傳輸天線與接收天線之間的間隔必需非常近(例 女 在千刀之幾公尺内)的缺點。雖然此方法確實具有在 同一區域中同時對多個裝置充電的能力,但是此區域通常 非常小且需要使用者將裝置準確地定位於特定區域。 除增加了同時充電之方便外,亦可藉由無線充電解決所 關注之環境及成本問題。當前,許多電子裝置被廣泛地使 ' 用’該等裝置藉由諸如AA、AAA、D、C電池(C Cell)、9 . 伏等格式之標準大小電池組來供電。此等電池組可為一次 電池或可再充電二次電池。一次電池為拋棄式的且增加環 境問題。可再充電二次電池可有助於解決所關注之環境問 題’但可再充電二次電池仍可需要自裝置移除以充電,此 可包括將可再充電二次電池置放於可僅具有用於電池組 145608.doc 201112567 (通常’四個電池組)之有限空間的充電器中。由於無線電 力充電之優點’可需要將由一次電池或二次電池供電之現 有裝置轉換(亦即’修整)為一具備無線無線供電能力裝置 (wireless powered enabled device)以在無線充電場中對電 池組再充電或操作於無線充電場中。 【實施方式】 詞語「例示性」在本文中用以意謂「充當一實例、例子 或說明」。本文中被描述為「例示性」的任一實施例未必 應解釋為比其他貫施例較佳或有利。 下文結合隨附圖式陳述之[實施方式]意欲作為本發明之 例不性實施例的描述且不意欲表示可實踐本發明之僅有實 施例。貫穿此說明書所使用之術語「例示性」意謂「充當 一實例、例子或說明」,且未必應解釋為比其他例示性實 施例較佳或有利。[實施方式]包括用於提供對本發明之例 示性實施例之澈底瞭解之目的的特定細節。熟習此項技術 者將認識到’可在無此等特定細節之情況下實踐本發明之 例示性實施例。在一些例子中,以方塊圖形式來展示熟知 之結構及裝置,以便避免使本文中呈現之例示性實施例的 新穎性模糊。 「無線電力」在本文中用以意謂與電場、磁場、 磁場相關聯的任何形式之能量,或另外在*使用實體電; 導體之情況下自傳輸器傳輸至接收器的能量。 ^說明根據本發明之各種例示性實施例的無線傳輸; 系統100。將輸入電力102提供至—傳輸器1〇4以用方 145608.doc 201112567 產生一用於提供能量轉移之t 秒之輻射%106。接收器108耦合至 輻射場106並產生一輸出電力u〇 乂用於由耦合至輸出電力 110之一裝置(圖中未繪示)儲在七 )储存或消耗。傳輸器104與接收 器10 8間隔一距離112。在—個例千极杏吵/丨上 1因例不性λ施例中,傳輸器 104及接收器108根據相互諧振關係而組態,且當接收器 108之諧振頻率與傳輸器1〇4之諧振頻率正好相同時,當接 收器108位於輻射場1〇6之「近塥,由η主你认 迎%」中時’傳輸器1〇4與接 收器108之間的傳輸損失為最小。 傳輸器104進一步包括一用於提供一用於能量傳輸之手 段的傳輸天線114,且接收器1〇8進一步包括一用於提供一 用於能量#收之手段的接收天線118。料天線及接收天 線根據應用及與其相關聯之裝置而定大小。如所述,藉由 將傳輸天線之近場中的能量之大部分耦合至接收天線而非 將電磁波中之大部分能量傳播至遠場而發生有效能量轉 移。當在近場中時,可在傳輸天線114與接收天線118之間 產生(develop)耦合模式。天線114及U8周圍可發生近場耦 合之區域本文中稱為耦合模式區。 圖2展示無線電力轉移系統之簡化示意圖。傳輸器1 包 括振盪器122、電力放大器124以及濾波器及匹配電路 ^6。振盡器經組態以產生具所要頻率之振盪器信號,可 回應於調整信號123而調整該振盪器信號。可回應於控制 信號125藉由電力放大器124以一放大量來放大振盪器信 號°可包括濾波器及匹配電路126以濾出諧波或其他不需 要之頻率並使傳輸器104之阻抗匹配傳輸天線114。 145608.doc 201112567 接收器108可包括一匹配電路132以及一整流器及切換電 路134,其用以產生一 DC電力輸出,該Dc電力輸出用以對 如圖2中所示之電池組136充電或供電給耦合至接收器之一 裝置(圖中未繪示)。可包括匹配電路132以使接收器1〇8之 阻抗匹配接收天線118。如本文中所使用,術語「電池 組」可包括除自身儲存電池外的器件,諸如,過電麼保護 電路。 如圖3 A中所說明,用於例示性實施例中之天線可經組態 為一「環形」天線150,其在本文中亦可被稱為「磁性」 天線。環形天線可經組態以包括一空氣磁芯(air c〇re)或一 實體磁芯(physical core)(諸如,鐵氧體磁芯p空氣磁芯環 形天線可更能容忍置放於磁芯附近之外來實體裝置。此 外,空氣磁芯環形天線允許將其他組件置放於磁芯區域 中。另外,空氣磁芯環可更易於能夠將接收天線118(圖2) 置放於傳輸天線114(圖2)之平面中,在該平面中傳輸天線 114(圖2)之耦合模式區可電力更大。 如所述’傳輸器104與接收器1〇8之間的能量之有效轉移 發生在傳輸器1 〇4與接收器i 〇8之間的匹配或幾乎匹配之諧 振期間。然而,即使傳輸器1〇4與接收器1〇8之間的諧振不 匹配,仍可以較低效率轉移能量。能量轉移藉由將能量自 傳輸天線之近場耦合至駐存於建立近場的鄰近區域中之接 收天線而非將能量自傳輸天線傳播至自由空間中而發生。 環形或磁性天線之諧振頻率係基於電感及電容。環形天 線中之電感大體而言係由環產生之電感,而電容大體而言 145608.doc 201112567 天線之電感以產生一具所要譜振頻率之譜振結 構。作為非限制性實例,電容器152及電容器154可添加至 天線乂產生-產线振信號丨56之諸振電路。因此,對於 較大直徑環形天線,誘發错振所需之電容大小隨環之直徑 或電感增加而減小。此外,隨環形或磁性天線之直徑增 加,近場之有效能量轉移區域增加。當然,其他譜振電^ 係可能的。作為另—非限制性實例,可將電容器並聯置放 於環形天線之兩個端子m —般熟f此項技術者 將認識到,對於傳輸天線,諧振信號156可為至環形天線 150之一輸入。 圖3B說明用於本發明之例示性實施例中的差動天線㈣ 之替代實施例。天線250可經組態為—差動線圈天線。在 差動天線組態中,天線25G之中心連接至接地端。天線25〇 之每一端連接至接收器/傳輸器單元(圖中未繪示)中,而非 如圖3A中所不一端連接至接地端。電容器252、253、254 可添加至天線250以產生一產生差動諧振信號之諧振電 路。差動天線組態可用於通信為雙向且需要至線圈中之傳 輸的情形中。一個此類情形可針對近場通信(NFC)系統。 本發明之例示性實施命j包括在處於彼此之近場中的兩個 天線之間耦合電力。如所述,近場為環繞天線之區域,在 該區域中存在電磁場但電磁場可不會遠離天線而傳播或輕 射。近場通常侷限於-接近天線之實體體積的體積。在本 發明之例到生實施例中,諸Μ &及多&環形天線之磁型 天線用於傳輸(Τχ)及接收(RX)天線系統兩者,因為與電型 145608.doc 201112567 天線(例如,小偶極天線)之電近場相比,對於磁型天線而 言磁近場振幅趨於較高,從而允許在該對之間的潛在較高 耗合n「電」天線(例如,偶極天線及單極天線)或磁 天線與電天線之組合亦預期為在本發明之範嘴内。 Τχ天線可在足夠低之頻率下並在一足夠大之天線大小情 - 況下操作,以在顯著大於早先提及之遠場及電感方法所允 . 許的距離下達成與小Rx天線的良好耦合(例如,> 4 dB)。 若Tx天線經恰當地定大小,則在主機裝置上之Rx天線置放 於驅動Tx環形天線之耦合模式區中(亦即,近場中)時可達 成高搞合位準(例如,-1 dB至-4 dB)。 將來可製造無線電力及/或NFC建置於電子裝置中之電子 裝置。然而,許多電子裝置被廣泛使用,其使用常規拋棄 式或可再充電電池組,該等電池組並非為具備無線供電能 力的,且其並非為具備NFC能力的。本發明之實施例包括 修整電子裝置的實施例,該等電子裝置最初未藉由無線電 力技術或NF C來建置,然而此等傳統電子裝置連同使用者 一起存在。此等實施例可包括定製電池組包(baUery pack)、定製置換外殼、修整標準電池組包等。 如本文中所使用之「修整」意謂修改一具有一電池組及 . 一電池組腔之現有電子裝置以包括用於對現有電池組充電 或對一置放於電子裝置中作為對現有電池組之替換的新電 池組充電的額外功能性,該電池組腔具有一用於將該現有 電池組固持於電子裝置中的形狀因數。 圖4說明根據本發明之實施例的具有修整電路之電子裝 145608.doc -10· 201112567 置400。電子裝置400可包括一具有無線電力接收天線420 及轉換電路430之後外殼410。電子裝置400可包括一包括 用於電子裝置400之内部電子電路(圖中未繪示)的前外殼 440及一電池組450。如圖4中所示,後外殼410可自前外殼 440移除。在後外殼410自前外殼440移除及與前外殼440分 開的情況下,可曝露電池組450、天線420及轉換電路 430。天線420可連同後外殼410—起置放或連同後外殼410 整體地形成。天線420及轉換電路430可獨立於前外殼440 而連同後外殼410—起製造。因此,後外殼410可經組態以 適合現有電子裝置且替換最初並非為具備無線供電能力之 電子裝置的相應原始外殼部分。 天線420及轉換電路430可經組態以接收及轉換來自外部 裝置之一信號且修整該電子裝置,其中該電子裝置最初並 不包括天線420或轉換電路430。外部源可為一無線電力傳 輸器,且天線420及轉換電路430可經進一步組態以接收及 轉換該信號以產生用於電子裝置400之無線電力。因此, 轉換電路430可包括諸如匹配電路132及整流器電路134(圖 2)之無線電力接收電路。天線420及轉換電路430亦可經組 態以使電子裝置能發送及接收NFC資料。 NFC之例示性通信機制及協定的細節可參見於2008年10 月 10 日申請之名為「SIGNALING CHARGING IN WIRELESS POWER ENVIRONMENT」的美國實用專利申請案第 12/249,866號中,該案之内容以引用之方式全部併入本文 中〇 145608.doc • 11 -

Description of the Invention: [Technical Leadership of the Invention] The present invention relates generally to wireless charging and, more particularly, to devices, systems and methods related to wireless power chargers. The present application claims priority to 35 USC § 119(e): U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61/150, 2, 57, filed on February 5, 2009, entitled " WIRELESS P. WER BATTERY PACK. No. 'and the case has been given to its assignee, and is hereby expressly incorporated herein by reference in its entirety; the US provisional date of March 25, 2009, entitled "BATTERY ASSEMBLY WITH BUILT IN WIRELESS POWER ANTENNA" Patent Application No. 61/163,387, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety in its entirety in its entirety in its entirety in U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 61/116,608, the entire disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference. [Prior Art] Typically, each battery-powered device such as a wireless communication device (e.g., a cellular phone) requires its own charger and power source, which is typically an AC power outlet. This becomes inconvenient when many devices require charging (each device requires its own separate charger). A method of using wireless power transfer between a transmitter and a receiver coupled to the electronic device to be charged is being developed. These methods are generally divided into two categories. One type is based on the coupling of plane wave radiation (also known as far field radiation) between the transmitting antenna and the receiving antenna on the device to be charged. Receiving Antenna - Collects radiated power and rectifies radiated power for charging the battery pack. The sky and line generally have a resonant length to improve coupling efficiency. This method suffers from the following effects: The power coupling is rapidly reduced with the distance between the antennas, making charging on the field distance (e.g., less than 丨 to 2 meters) difficult. In addition, because the transmission system radiates plane waves, unintentional light shots can interfere with other systems without proper control via chopping. Other methods of wireless energy transfer technology are based on, for example, inductive coupling between a transmission antenna embedded in a "charging" device, a pad or surface, and a receiving antenna (plus a rectifying circuit) embedded in the main electronic device to be charged . This method has the disadvantage that the spacing between the transmitting antenna and the receiving antenna must be very close (for example, within a few meters of a thousand feet). While this approach does have the ability to simultaneously charge multiple devices in the same area, this area is typically very small and requires the user to accurately position the device to a particular area. In addition to the convenience of simultaneous charging, it is also possible to solve the environmental and cost issues of concern through wireless charging. Currently, many electronic devices are widely used to power these devices by standard size battery packs in formats such as AA, AAA, D, C Cell, 9. Volt. These battery packs can be primary batteries or rechargeable secondary batteries. Primary batteries are disposable and add environmental problems. The rechargeable secondary battery can help solve the environmental problem of concern 'but the rechargeable secondary battery may still need to be removed from the device for charging, which may include placing the rechargeable secondary battery on only Used in battery packs for 145608.doc 201112567 (usually 'four battery packs'). Due to the advantages of wireless power charging, it may be necessary to convert (i.e., 'trimming) an existing device powered by a primary battery or a secondary battery into a wireless powered enabled device to pair the battery in the wireless charging field. Recharge or operate in a wireless charging field. [Embodiment] The word "exemplary" is used herein to mean "serving as an example, instance, or illustration."

[Embodiment] The specific details are provided for the purpose of providing a thorough understanding of the exemplary embodiments of the invention. Those skilled in the art will recognize that the exemplary embodiments of the invention may be practiced without the specific details. In some instances, well-known structures and devices are shown in the form of a block diagram in order to avoid obscuring the novelity "Wireless power" is used herein to mean any form of energy associated with an electric, magnetic, or magnetic field, or otherwise transmitted from a transmitter to a receiver in the presence of a conductor; ^Description of wireless transmissions in accordance with various exemplary embodiments of the present invention; The input power 102 is provided to the transmitter 1〇4 to generate a radiation % 106 of t seconds for providing energy transfer. Receiver 108 is coupled to radiation field 106 and produces an output power u 〇 for storage or consumption by a device (not shown) coupled to output power 110. Transmitter 104 is spaced a distance 112 from receiver 108. In the case of a case of a thousand april noodles, the transmitter 104 and the receiver 108 are configured according to mutual resonance relationship, and when the resonant frequency of the receiver 108 and the transmitter 1〇4 When the resonant frequencies are exactly the same, the transmission loss between the transmitter 1〇4 and the receiver 108 is minimized when the receiver 108 is in the vicinity of the radiation field 1〇6. Transmitter 104 further includes a transmit antenna 114 for providing a means for energy transfer, and receiver 1 8 further includes a receive antenna 118 for providing a means for energy harvesting. The antenna and receiving antenna are sized according to the application and the device associated with it. As described, efficient energy transfer occurs by coupling a substantial portion of the energy in the near field of the transmission antenna to the receiving antenna rather than propagating most of the energy in the electromagnetic wave to the far field. The coupling mode can be developed between the transmit antenna 114 and the receive antenna 118 when in the near field. The area around the antennas 114 and U8 where near field coupling can occur is referred to herein as the coupled mode region. Figure 2 shows a simplified schematic of a wireless power transfer system. Transmitter 1 includes oscillator 122, power amplifier 124, and filter and matching circuit ^6. The oscillating device is configured to generate an oscillator signal having a desired frequency that can be adjusted in response to the adjustment signal 123. The oscillator signal can be amplified by the power amplifier 124 by an amplification factor in response to the control signal 125. The filter and matching circuit 126 can be included to filter out harmonics or other unwanted frequencies and match the impedance of the transmitter 104 to the transmission antenna. 114. 145608.doc 201112567 Receiver 108 can include a matching circuit 132 and a rectifier and switching circuit 134 for generating a DC power output for charging or powering battery pack 136 as shown in FIG. A device (not shown) coupled to one of the receivers. A matching circuit 132 can be included to match the impedance of the receiver 1〇8 to the receive antenna 118. As used herein, the term "battery pack" may include devices other than the self-storing battery, such as an over-current protection circuit. As illustrated in Figure 3A, the antenna used in the exemplary embodiment can be configured as a "loop" antenna 150, which may also be referred to herein as a "magnetic" antenna. The loop antenna can be configured to include an air core or a physical core (such as a ferrite core p air core loop antenna can be more tolerant to the core) In addition, the air core loop antenna allows other components to be placed in the core region. In addition, the air core ring can more easily place the receiving antenna 118 (Fig. 2) on the transmitting antenna 114 ( In the plane of Figure 2), the coupled mode region of the transmit antenna 114 (Fig. 2) in this plane can be more powerful. As described in the 'Transfer 104 and the receiver 1 〇 8 effective transfer occurs in the transmission The matching or nearly matching resonance period between the device 1 〇 4 and the receiver i 〇 8 However, even if the resonance between the transmitter 1 〇 4 and the receiver 1 〇 8 does not match, the energy can be transferred with lower efficiency. Energy transfer occurs by coupling energy from the near field of the transmitting antenna to a receiving antenna residing in a neighboring region establishing a near field rather than propagating energy from the transmitting antenna into free space. Resonant frequency of a ring or magnetic antenna Based on inductance and capacitance. The inductance in the antenna is generally the inductance produced by the loop, and the capacitance is generally the inductance of the antenna to produce a spectral structure of the desired spectral frequency. As a non-limiting example, the capacitor 152 and the capacitor 154 can be added to the antenna circuit to generate the line-oscillation signal 丨 56. Therefore, for larger diameter loop antennas, the amount of capacitance required to induce the vibration is reduced as the diameter or inductance of the ring increases. The diameter of the ring or magnetic antenna increases, and the effective energy transfer area of the near field increases. Of course, other spectral vibrations are possible. As another non-limiting example, the capacitors may be placed in parallel at the two terminals of the loop antenna. As would be appreciated by those skilled in the art, the resonant signal 156 can be input to one of the loop antennas 150 for the transmit antenna. Figure 3B illustrates an alternate implementation of the differential antenna (4) for use in an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. For example, the antenna 250 can be configured as a differential coil antenna. In the differential antenna configuration, the center of the antenna 25G is connected to the ground. Each end of the antenna 25 is connected to the ground. In the transmitter/transmitter unit (not shown), instead of being connected to the ground terminal as shown in Figure 3A, capacitors 252, 253, 254 may be added to the antenna 250 to generate a resonant circuit that produces a differential resonant signal. The differential antenna configuration can be used in situations where the communication is bidirectional and requires transmission to the coil. One such scenario can be for a near field communication (NFC) system. Exemplary embodiments of the present invention include being in close proximity to each other. The power is coupled between two antennas in the field. As mentioned, the near field is the area surrounding the antenna in which an electromagnetic field is present but the electromagnetic field may not propagate or illuminate away from the antenna. The near field is usually limited to - close to the antenna The volume of the physical volume. In the example of the present invention, the magnetic antennas of the Μ & and multi & loop antennas are used for both transmission and reception (RX) antenna systems because of the electrical type. 145608.doc 201112567 The near-field amplitude of the antenna (for example, a small dipole antenna) tends to be higher for magnetic antennas, allowing for a higher potential mismatch between the pair. Electric antenna For example, monopole and dipole antenna) or a combination of magnetic and electric antennas is also contemplated within the scope of the invention is present in the mouth. The Τχ antenna can operate at a sufficiently low frequency and at a sufficiently large antenna size to achieve good with small Rx antennas at distances significantly greater than those allowed by the far-field and inductive methods mentioned earlier. Coupling (for example, > 4 dB). If the Tx antenna is properly sized, a high level of engagement can be achieved when the Rx antenna on the host device is placed in the coupled mode region of the Tx loop antenna (ie, in the near field) (eg, -1) dB to -4 dB). In the future, wireless power and/or NFC electronic devices built into electronic devices can be manufactured. However, many electronic devices are widely used, which use conventional disposable or rechargeable battery packs that are not wirelessly capable and that are not NFC capable.

coupled to the battery pack I contacts to charge the battery pack during wireless power charging. Figure 6A illustrates a cross-sectional view of an integrated storage device _ in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. The integrated storage device 600 includes a storage battery 62A, an antenna 63A, a shield 640, and other circuitry 650 in a common housing enclosure 610. The common housing 610 can be shaped and sized to be the same shape as a conventional battery pack used by an electronic device. Then, the integrated storage device 600 can be inserted into the electronic device instead of the original battery pack to store the battery 620, that is, a battery pack that can be charged by the helmet φ φ and the line power from the transmission antenna (not shown). ) Provided to the electronic guards. The integrated storage device may also include NFC capabilities as explained above.

The connector 660 can be, for example, a power supply, see, or a collection of contacts, the set of contacts being used to establish electrical connections to contacts that the normal battery pack will contact to supply power. Give electronic devices. Antenna 630 can be configured to receive wireless power and NFC, such as a coil antenna. In other words, the antenna can be configured to receive wireless power transmission, receive NFC transmissions, or a combination of the two. When configured to receive both, the antenna 630 can be shared by the wireless power system and the original electronic components of the electronic device, which can be a savings for integrating both wireless power and NFC into existing electronic devices that do not currently have such capabilities. The way of cost. The storage battery 620 can be configured to store any type of battery pack battery, such as a lithium ion battery pack. Because the integrated housing 610 of the integrated storage device 6 (which also has additional circuitry) can be configured to replace the existing battery pack of the electronic device, the physical area of the storage battery 620 can be physically smaller than the integrated storage device 600 to be in the electronic device. Replace the corresponding storage battery in the existing battery pack. However, the storage battery 620 may be identical in power to the storage battery of the previous battery pack or larger than the storage battery of the previous battery pack. The shield 640 can be a protective magnetic field forming material between the storage battery 62A and the antenna 63A. The shield 640 can be configured to isolate the antenna from a metal enclosure that can surround the storage battery 620. In other words, the shield 64 can effectively position the magnetic field to reduce the damaging effects of storing the battery 6 2 〇 on the performance of the antenna 6 3 . The shield can be made of a ferrite material such as flexield, which is commercially available from TDK Corporation of Tokyo, Japan. The other circuit 650 can convert the electronic device to have the wireless power supply capability 145608.doc, c 201112567 ^NFC allows or has the ability to both wireless power capability and combat capability to be provided to the integrated storage device 6. . . Examples of such a circuit include the matching circuit and the rectifier circuit as discussed above. If the over-protection circuit is not built into the storage battery 620, the other circuit 650 may also include an over-voltage protection circuit. In addition, the 'integrated storage device' may include an indicator (eg, visual or audio) that is activated (eg, from a light emitting diode, a flash or an audio indication) when the associated electronic device is within range of the wireless power transfer charging field. Integral storage device _ can also include - a magnetically transparent encapsulation material that surrounds the component for additional robustness of the magnetic field. In the knowledge of 'integrated storage device _ can be configured to be - powered by wireless power Wireless power is received within the radiation field generated by the wheel. The wireless power can be stored in a storage battery (4), such as a battery pack. The stored charge from the storage battery 62 can then be used to power the associated electronic device. Alternatively, the power received by the integrated wireless storage device 600 can be directly supplied to the electronic device instead of storing the power in the storage battery 620. For δ, one purpose can be to charge the storage battery 620 for power supply to the electronic device. f, and another use may be if the electronic device is directly powered to the electronic device within the radiation field of the transmission antenna. As previously described, wireless The power includes - transmitting antenna power to the receiving antenna of the electronic device to be charged, and then feeding a power to convert the received power into a DC battery. The DC power can charge the battery pack of the electronic device or Simultaneous operation provides power. In general, the integrated storage device _ can store the battery 620 (eg, battery pack) and other circuits 65 145608.doc • 16· 201112567 (for example, the rectifier circuit is used together for sending a charge The circuitry of the transmit antenna is combined in a common housing 610 that replaces the existing battery pack of the electronic device. Additionally or alternatively, the integrated storage device 600 can be configured to enable an electronic device to transmit and receive NFC via the antenna 630. The replacement of existing battery pack packages by the use of integrated storage device 600 may not require software modifications. The use of integrated storage device 600 may be advantageous because many electronic devices have electronic devices that are only allowed to be customized for a particular electronic device. Customized software for AC adapters to charge. Direct charging at existing battery pack terminals reduces these software compatibility Problem, because for software in an electronic device, power can appear as if the power was supplied by a conventional battery pack. In addition, because the integrated storage device 6 can be configured to conform to the size and shape of the existing battery pack of the electronic device. Therefore, the original industrial design of the electronic device can be maintained. In addition, the 'integration device 6 (9) can allow the user to simply upgrade the current electronic device by replacing the existing battery pack with the integrated storage device. The integrated memory device 6 can maintain a more constant resonance on different integrated storage devices 600. The relative position and interval of the antenna 63〇, the shield 640, and the storage battery 620 can be at the antenna 030. Correction plays a significant role. If the group is right, and the pieces (for example, the storage battery 62〇, the antenna 630, the shield 640, etc.) are loosened, (1) the various intervals between the seek components may result in different resonance frequencies. Change order, The ribs provide an integrated storage device that allows for wireless power or NFC to be used. -*丄 ^ The handling of the encounter is more reliable and repeatable.

The integrated storage device 6 additionally includes a receiving circuit 67 that may be in a different module than the other circuits 650. Receive circuitry 67A may include circuitry associated with wireless power and/or NFC conversion. Examples of such a circuit may include a rectifier, a filter, and a regulator that converts power received by the antenna 63 0 into DC power. Figure 6C illustrates a perspective view of an integrated storage device 6〇〇, in accordance with an illustrative embodiment of the present invention. The integrated storage device 6A includes a storage battery 62A, an antenna 63A, a shield 64A, and other circuits 650 in a common housing cover 610 having connectors 66, each configured and previously associated with FIG. The components described in eight are the same. Circuitry for wireless power conversion, NFC, or a combination thereof may be included in other circuitry 650 or included in another module 67A as shown in Figure 6]. Alternatively, the circuitry for NFC and/or wireless power conversion can be housed outside of the entire «storage device 600, however doing so may require the antenna 63〇 connection to be present outside of the integrated storage device 600. Figure 7 illustrates an integrated storage device 7 in accordance with yet another embodiment of the present invention. The integrated storage device 700 can be configured to be the shape and size of an existing battery pack (i.e., suitable for the same form factor) and have the same electrode connections as existing battery packs. For example, the electronic device can be powered by a disposable battery pack, such as aa battery packs 701 and 702. These battery pack types are often used in battery compartments of portable electronic devices such as flashlights or toys. In this exemplary embodiment, the trim battery packs 7〇1 and 7〇2 include a coil antenna 145608.doc 201112567 705 that can be placed in one or both of the circumferences of the battery packs 7〇1, 7〇2 Around the edge of the person.

The storage battery (shown generally as 712) is applied to the remaining portion of the battery pack 7〇2 by placing the associated electronic device or trimmed battery packs 7〇1, 7〇2 separately in the coupling mode region of the transmission antenna. , 714, 716) can be charged wirelessly. Thus, integrated storage device 700 includes storage batteries 712, 714, 716, coil antenna 705, and associated electronic circuitry 71 within a common housing. The integrated storage device 700 can be used to trim the electronic device to operate according to wireless power reception or to be NFC capable by allowing wireless charging of the battery pack replaced by the new wireless rechargeable battery pack assembly. Since a certain area of the battery pack can be reserved for additional electronic circuitry, the physical space used by the storage battery in the battery pack can be reduced. However, the electrical performance of the battery pack can be substantially similar to the existing battery pack being replaced. Although the six-eight battery pack is shown in Figure 7, the shape and size of such exemplary battery packs should not be considered limiting.
