If realized, it appears that Samsung's wireless charging mat will be able to charge two devices at once, such as two phones or a phone and a smartwatch. The patent explains that Samsung's wireless mat will detect the type of device placed on the mat and then determine the correct charging method to send power to the device. 。
Samsung's patent shows it will employ two wireless charging techniques: One is the typical type of wireless charging accomplished through a process called "magnetic induction," which uses magnetism (as opposed to a connected wire) to send power into a phone. Samsung's patent also says it will employ a similar charging process called "magnetic resonance," which allows the charging of multiple devices from a single charging pad. These charging methods fall under the increasingly popular "Qi" standard in wireless charging, which you might see labeled at public places like airports and Starbucks. 。SEE ALSO:This company claims it invented the world’s first 'contactless' wireless charger 。
