Abstract:
The invention relates to a method that comprises receiving wireless energy from a wireless energy transmitter device; determining a power level value of the received wireless energy; manipulating value of the determined power level to obtain a manipulated power level value; and sending the manipulated power level value to the wireless energy transmitter device so that a FOD does not prevent the power transfer from the wireless energy transmitter device. The invention further relates to an apparatus, a device and a computer program product for performing the method.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an apparatus, to an accessory, to methods and computer program products for them, and to a system comprising the apparatus and the accessory. The apparatus comprises at least one processor, memory including computer program code. The accessory comprises an interface with at least one power pin and a signaling pin; and resisting means configured to be coupled to a battery identification resistor of a battery via the signalling pin. The apparatus further comprises an interface with at least one power pin and a battery identification pin, and detection means configured to detect a resistance associated with the battery identification pin and to determine, based on the detected resistance, whether an accessory is attached to the apparatus.
Abstract:

Abstract:
In accordance with an example embodiment of the present invention, an apparatus (200) comprises a wireless power transmitter (241) connectable to a power supply interface (201) and to a battery (204); power supply detection circuitry (213) configured to determine whether the power supply interface (201) is capable of powering the wireless power transmitter (241); wireless power control circuitry (220) configured to, in response to determining that the power supply interface (201) is capable of powering the wireless power transmitter (241), enable power delivery from the power supply interface (201) to the wireless power transmitter (241).
Abstract:
A method and apparatus (100) are disclosed for wirelessly communicating by a proximity communication circuitry comprising an antenna with a proximate device (200) according to a proximity communication protocol. The proximity circuitry is disabled when not needed. Voltage in the antenna caused by an electromagnetic power signal (222) is detected when the proximity communication circuitry is disabled. The detection of voltage is independent of whether the electromagnetic signal (222) complies with the proximity communication protocol. An event is triggered in response to the detected voltage. Correspondingly a method and device (200) for externally controlling the apparatus (100) are disclosed in which a user command is detected and responsively to the user command, an electromagnetic signal (222) is transmitted to the apparatus (100) for triggering the event. The electromagnetic signal (222) has a regular wave form.
