Patent number: 9778235Abstract: An environmental monitoring device that includes a switching mechanism is described. During operation of the environmental monitoring device, the switching mechanism (such as a switch) selectively electrically couples a first electrical-connection node and a second electrical-connection node. For example, using the switching mechanism, an electronic device having a power source may be selectively electrically coupled to a second electronic device having a rechargeable battery. The selective electrical coupling may be based on one or more measurements of an environmental condition in an external environment that includes the environmental monitoring device by a sensor mechanism in the environmental monitoring device. This environmental condition may be associated with charging of the rechargeable battery. In addition, a control mechanism in the environmental monitoring device selects a charging mode of the rechargeable battery based on the one or more measurements of the environmental condition.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2015Date of Patent: October 3, 2017Assignee: Leeo, Inc.Inventors: Adam Matthew Gettings, Andrew Gettings Stevens, Bjorn Hovland, Nina S. Joshi, Yi Zheng, Lucas Ivers

Publication number: 20160034010Abstract: An electronic device that generates a programmed electrical characteristic is described. During operation, the electronic device generates a programmed electrical characteristic associated with a predefined identifier that specifies information about the electronic device (such as a type, a model, a brand, an operating condition of the electronic device, and/or a unique identifier of the electronic device). For example, an integrated circuit in the electronic device may have a varying power consumption based on the predefined identifier. In particular, the programmed electrical characteristic may be associated with execution of a program module by a processor, such as initialization of firmware by the processor. The resulting modulated waveform may be detected and analyzed by another electronic device to determine the predefined identifier and, thus, a device profile (with the specified information) for the electronic device.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 6, 2015Publication date: February 4, 2016Inventors: Adam M.
