    摘要: A multi-rate charging circuit includes charging electronics adapted to condition power received from a power source according to operational settings for one or more charge parameters. A plurality of user-selectable charge sets each include settings for one or more of the charge parameters and one of the charge sets is designated as the current default charge set. The charging electronics assume the settings of the default charge set upon power-up, thereafter the user may select an alternative charge set if so desired. A trigger monitor, such as a current level sensor, monitors for the occurrence of a trigger event, such as low current flow associated with the removal of a battery pack, and generates a reset signal in response thereto. The reset signal causes the charging electronics to automatically assume the settings represented by the current default charge set for its operational settings. Thus, upon the occurrence of a triggering event, the charging electronics reverts to (or continues, as appropriate) the default charge set settings. Accordingly, the charging circuit automatically charges each battery pack according to the default settings unless the governing charge set is changed by the user after that battery pack is connected to the charging electronics.

    摘要: A method and system of quality management for a digital photograph includes using multi-zone autofocus information to generate an image file that has a high-quality portion and a low-quality portion. In one approach, captured image data is processed so that a portion of the image data corresponding to an area different than a focus zone is lower in quality than image data corresponding to an area inside the focus zone. In another approach, sensor resolution responsiveness is set higher for a sensor area corresponding to a focus zone than sensor resolution responsiveness in an area different than the sensor area corresponding to the focus zone.

    摘要: Information about a battery pack, such as the battery pack type of the battery pack, is communicated to a recharging device, preferably a wireless communications device such as a cellular telephone, via an information signal generated by the battery pack so that the recharging device may automatically distinguish between a plurality of different battery pack types to identify the type of an attached battery pack. The identification signal may be a repeating type having a fixed frequency between a low voltage level and a high voltage level and a dwell time at the high value. The identification signal is communicated to the recharging device and averaged over time. The averaged identification signal is compared against a reference signal, such as the voltage level of the battery, to determine a ratio therebetween. A logic circuit portion of the recharging device, such as a microprocessor, then identifies the battery pack type of the battery pack based on this ratio by comparing the ratio to one or more predetermined values where each of the predetermined values is associated with a battery pack type. Based on the battery pack type identified, the recharging device adjusts its charging profile or otherwise optimizes its operational characteristics. Further, the identification may instead be based on some characteristic of the identification signal itself, such as duty cycle or time at a particular voltage level. In addition, the identification signal may be continuously generated or may be generated periodically, or for some short period of time following certain events such a power-up or battery pack changeover. In some embodiments, the identification signal may contain additional or alternative information concerning the battery pack such as an indication of the number of recharge cycles the battery pack has been through.
