Identification of the needs

Mobile phones, specially, smartphones have become part

of peoples everyday life.

Consumers use smartphones for ~190 minutes per day =

~ 3 hours per day (Analysysmason.com, 2014)

The more you use your mobile phone, the faster battery
runs out of power.

Battery lifespan for smartphones still is a problem for

consumers (not always you have charger with you).

New, innovative solutions should be made in order

to improve charging problems for mobile phones.

Alternative mobile phone
chargers

Alternative power source to charge mobile phone devices is

use of solar energy to charge mobile phone with a wireless
connection.

Disadvantages limited ability to charge (depending on

intensity of light) and use of cable.

Alternative mobile phone
chargers

Mobile phones can be charged remotely, while in the

users pocket by applying the concept of MIMO (multipleinput multiple-output) beamforming.

Disadvantage limited distance while charging the phone.

Integrated Induction Coil
Charger
1. Induction technology is
already happening
2. It is has been used since
1980 and first it was
implemented in electronic
toothbrushes
3. The exact novelty consists in
the way we want to use it
4. An improved performance
induction coil can charge
electronic devices via 1-4 cm
physical distance which
allows us to change the way
we handle our technology
