METHOD AND DEVICE OF CHARGING Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC H02J7/00 

FIELD: electricity.

SUBSTANCE: method includes the reception of the installation signal and determination of the charging direction in accordance with the installation signal; defining whether the charging operation is the slave device charging by the master device, if the charging direction is the first direction; defining whether the charging operation is the master device charging by the slave device, if the charging direction is the second direction; and transmission of appropriate instruction on charging to the power control integrated circuit of the master device and to the power control integrated circuit of the slave device according to the charging operation. In this case, the reception of the installation signal and the determination of the charging direction in accordance with the installation signal include: displaying information on the initial electric power level by means of a linear electric power control indicator. The percentage ratio of the initial unused electric power level of the master device to the total unused electric power level and the percentage ratio of the initial unused electric power level of the slave device to the total unused electric power level are included into the information. The total unused electric power level is equal to the sum of the initial unused electric power level of the master device and initial unused electric power level of the slave device; reception of the slider shift operations in the linear power control indicator; definition of the information about the target level of electric power, corresponding to the shift operation, while the information about the target level of electric power includes the percentage ratio of the target unused electric power level of the master device to the total unused electric power level and the percentage ratio of the target unused electric power level of the slave device to the total unused electric power level; and defining the charging direction in accordance with information on the initial level of electric power and information on the target level of electric power.

EFFECT: ensuring the guaranteed charging of two smart devices that are connected via the interconnecting line, from each other, in accordance with the charging direction, specified by the user.
