  • Patent number: 11843270
    Abstract: Present invention concerns charging of a power source of a device. A power usage pattern collector is configured to: collect data on power usage in a device, power source of which is chargeable, with regard to at least one particular criterion having influence on power usage in the device; and determine at least one power usage pattern by use of the collected data, said power usage pattern specifying power usage in the device with regard to at least one particular reoccurring criterion. A charging controller is configured to: acquire at least one power usage pattern; and control charging of a power source of a device by use of the at least one acquired power usage pattern. Present invention relates also to corresponding methods, correspondingly arranged computer program products, correspondingly arranged computer-readable recording media, and a system comprising the power usage pattern collector and the charging controller.

  • Publication number: 20120239325
    Abstract: A method comprising obtaining a voltage sample of a battery; converting the voltage sample to a battery capacity; calculating an average battery capacity based on averaging battery capacity values stored in a buffer; converting the average battery capacity to a voltage; calculating a current consumption based on the voltage sample and the voltage, wherein the current consumption corresponds to current consumed during a sampling period of the voltage sample; calculating a voting factor based on the current consumption; calculating a battery capacity difference based on a difference between the average battery capacity and the battery capacity; determining whether the battery capacity difference is greater than zero; and storing the average battery capacity in the buffer, a number of times, corresponding to the voting factor, when the battery capacity difference is equal to or less than zero.
