NU 10 #5 "Pasa-Charge" using a cellphone case by Rosalyn P. Donato
The Background
With a single gadget performing different functions, the smart phone has become indispensable and its performance will all depend on its battery life. How many times have we found ourselves in situations wherein our phone is " low batt " because we surfed and downloaded so much and then, we cannot make that important phone call?!! Worse, we brought our charger but no sockets nor USB ports that would allow us to charge. The charged cellphone case can save the day! Now, not only load can be shared but the battery charge as well.
How the Innovation will work
A cellphone case that can charge when used in another phone of the same brand and/or configuration without the cords. In this way, charge can be " passed "on to someone whose phone is " low batt " .
Gains from the Innovation
Faced with a situation when one's phone is " low batt ", a friend or a person nearby who has the same phone or at least compatible with, can actually "share" the charge just by using the latter's cell phone case to extend the battery life.
Implementation of the Innovation
The cell phone case will be designed as a charger that once a phone is detected to have low battery charge level it will automatically start charging. An industrial designer can develop a cell phone case that contains the charging mechanism that is light and thin enough. The case should be pre-charged like a power bank but does not have the cords but rather it has a special sensor that once it comes in contact with the corresponding terminal of the cell phone, it will start charging. In this way, charge can be shared by people using the same type of smart phones. (via induction?)
