Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method, an apparatus and a system for reducing charge time. The method includes determining a current is below a current threshold and a voltage is below a voltage threshold, and based on the determination, terminating an adapter from charging a charge cell.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A method of a charge module, comprising: determining a current is below a current threshold and a voltage is below a voltage threshold; based on the determination, terminating an adapter from charging a charge cell. 2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the termination comprises at least one of disconnecting an adapter charging the charge cell and set mode to at least one of sleep mode or adapter removed. 3 . An apparatus for reducing charge time, comprising: a current comparator; a voltage comparator; an AND gate coupled to the current comparator and the voltage comparator, wherein the AND gate allows for charging a charge cell when both the current comparator and the voltage comparator determine that the current is above a current threshold and the voltage is above a voltage threshold. 4 . The apparatus of claim 3 further comprising a regulator coupled to the AND gate. 5 . A system for reducing charge time, comprising: an adapter; a charge cell; a charge module, where the charge module is coupled to the adapter and the charge cell, and wherein the charge module terminates the adapter charging the charge cell when the current is below a current threshold and the voltage is below a voltage threshold.
