What would Xiaomi's solar charging system look like?
The patent brings important information about what the main aspects of the solar charging method would look like.
First, it would start with the process of acquiring the intensity of sunlight in the immediate environment where the terminal device is located. The process will take place through the use of a light detection module.
Shortly after the light intensity meets the stipulated conditions, the patent describes what it calls a “variable state tailgate control mechanism.”
As a result of these conditions, the back cover is set to assume the first state, which allows sunlight to penetrate and illuminate the solar energy harvesting module.
Its performance plays an important role in capturing and taking advantage of the solar energy generated by solar radiation. The solar energy collected in the conditions is not wasted.
In addition, the patent talks about the concept of a solar energy conversion module active in the efficient conversion of captured solar energy into electrical energy. Such electrical energy is converted and used to charge the terminal device battery to power user devices.
In its motivations, the patent recognizes the concern of anxiety that some users face when relying on battery-powered devices. Through its solution, users could enjoy longer use of the device without the adversities we encounter with battery-powered devices.
