What is a Wireless Charging?
The form of charge charging the most common wireless often called Inductive charging. Using electromagnetic fields to transmit energy between two objects, charging stations, wire attached to a normal power socket, and devices that contain batteries and charging wireless hardware accordingly.
When they come into contact, the battery starts charging, the charging end when contact is broken. In the future, the Wireless charging is potentially so the latest modernization producers smartphone.
The benefits are obvious. No wires, no plugs USB fiddly. It is also potentially more secure-electric toothbrush has been using Inductive charging for years without fear of water and electric current will be in touch. Now, this switch to smartphones and other mobile devices, and Wireless charging will become mainstream.
Your long-term goal is for airports, hotels, coffee shops and more businesses to install charging stations. Instead of having to carry a charger and installed it, you can simply set your phone on the table to recharge the battery.
Before that happens, the standard issue must be solved to ensure that all of the charger and the device can be mutually cooperate.
Standard Charging
As a relatively new technology, Wireless charging has several competing standards — and is not compatible.
Although not quite as interesting as the VHS Betamax battle against the eighties, or Bluray vs. HD DVD a decade ago, the result is likely to be the same: one standard will win, and then the technology would be widely adopted.
It's not just the tech industry is involved in the battle of the standard. As it says, Qi (pronounced Chee) is the primary standard for consumer use and are supported by McDonald's, but PMA (from Alliance Power Matters) offers greater features for businesses, and calculate the Starbucks among members. Here are the system Wireless Charging (Battery Charging wireless) Android Smartphone which has been summarised, Check It Out!
Qi is a standard developed by the Wireless Power Consortium, which was established in 2008 and has over 200 members, including Microsoft, Google, HTC, Sony, and Samsung.
Qi is the Inductive charging system which uses a tightly coiled cable for generating and receiving electromagnetic fields. These standards specify the transfer of approximately 5W, similar to the smartphone charger standard.
This standard produces an efficient power transfer, but susceptible to misalignment of the coil in the unit the charger and the device receiver, which in turn can cause compatibility on products that are not constructed explicitly to work with one another. It also requires a single coil in the charging station for each device.
Qi has been adopted for the most part by Google and Android device manufacturers.
Qi has supported in smartphone Google Nexus, LG's flagship devices including the new G4, and cell phone Samsung Galaxy including top-class S6. Windows Phones from Microsoft/Nokia also often support, such as the Qi BlackBerry handset. The IKEA furniture store recently announced a variety of tables, lamps and other products by charging Qi integrated.
PMA comes from the Alliance of Power Matters, established by the Proctor and Gamble & Powermat Technologies in 2012. The company has more than 60 members, including Samsung, Sony, Motorola, and Microsoft.
Standard PMA (sometimes also called the Powermat) also based on Inductive charging, but at the beginning of the year, 2015 Alliance announced plans to join the A4WP, Alliance for Wireless Power.
Standards A4WP, Rezence, uses resonant Inductive charging. It also uses coil approach to electromagnetism, however more tolerant of the coil are not aligned. This means that some devices may be filled with a single charging, and also potentially incur at long distances.
One of the things that make the business attractive for FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT is the PMA gives a unique ID to each device, giving important information to business on where and how you use this service. Potentially, it could even be used for marketing purposes, although it does not happen this time.
The main drawback is that even many large technology brands are a member of the Alliance Matters Power standard PMA currently has a little native support on mobile devices. Samsung Galaxy S6 is indeed offered, as well as the version AT & T from LG G3 (all versions of other devices have Qi).
Example of charging At Starbucks, if you want to use a charging PMA if not, you need to add an accessory to your device, usually in the form of arms or dongle that plugs into the charging port, as happens if you using it at Starbucks.
Interestingly, the PMA has also worked with a company called Energous, which uses radio frequency WattUp technology to transmit power to a device that requires less than 10W (such as Smartphones, dolls, and headset) within a radius of 15 feet.
Energous hope to have products available based on the technology in late 2015 or early 2016,.
When it comes to Wireless charging, giant corporations do not want to miss in improving its products, that company is Apple. The company has not offered wireless charging for his iPhone (Apple Watch seems to be using Inductive charging based on Qi, but not compatible with charger other Qi), but it seems only a matter of time only.
Apple doesn't always want to adopt standards, let alone participated in the battle of the standard. If companies choose sides, this may tip the balance with one or the other, but there is a chance Apple offers its own proprietary solutions.
Conclusion
Charging on a smartphone is a progress for producers smartphone self, this will have an impact on the price of the smartphone market will continue to rise. We as the users must choose which became the top priority we are using smartphones.
