End User Vision


• Engineer’s Vision…


So you wish to drive somewhere,

but first…

Charge your phone!!!

…and then if there’s time…

Adjust the seat

Adjust the mirrors

Set the steering wheel

Set the radio station

Enter your destination into the GPS

…others…?

This is the start point of the experience…


Let’s tackle that first item…

Charge your phone!!!

• Find the charger

• Open the power port

• Plug in the charger

• Plug in the phone

• Localize the phone within reach

5 steps to perform task 1…


Wireless Power Technology is part

one of the equation…We have created very valuable real estate…

Users want to:

• Charge their phone

• See their phone

• Reach their phone

• Use their phone

…and it must be EASY!


• Charge their phone• Easily maintain a full battery

• See their phone• Easily confirm it is still there

• Reach their phone• Easy to place when entering

• Easy to pick up when leaving

• Use their phone• Easily connected to the Vehicle

What does that mean?


So now we created a great

wireless charging experience, but

there is still…

Adjust the seat

Adjust the mirrors

Set the steering wheel

Set the radio station

Enter your destination into the GPS

…others…?

We made wireless power the start point of the

experience, the first user action, and it can help with

the above…


Wireless Devices are becoming

integral to cockpit design…


Powering and

connecting

your device

to your

vehicle!

IOT Enablers

New IOT Environment

Automaker

Custom


Helios+ from Leggett & Platt is just

one example of how wireless

power can be used as an

enabler of connectivity with the

vehicle. (premiered at CES2016)

In all cases, using the action of placing the

phone on the charge pad as the initiator, the

user can accomplish many of the ‘start-up’ tasks

in one simple motion.

Forget the clutter, enjoy the experience!

The user’s want of

wireless power enables

the ability of the phone placement to perform

these and many other

start up tasks…

Certainly!!!

Now that the we started the journey in an easy

and personal way, we need to ensure that we

meet some of the ‘behind the scenes’

expectations:

• System does not emit any noise or excess heat• System does not interfere with others

• System is safe to use

• System provides continuous charge

• System promotes a tech lifestyle

Devil is in the details, the above and many other

factors lead to good perceived quality

Is there more to the user

experience?


Is there more to the user

experience?

• System does not interfere with others

• EMI/Radio/Key Fob interference

• Physical interference to

accessories, etc.

• System is safe to use

• FOD mandatory on all devices

• ISO26262 implemented by

some OEM’s for certain

functions

• Phone does not become a

projectile

• System does not emit any noise or

excess heat

• Device battery drains quicker

at higher temperatures

• Heat associated with

‘problem’

• System provides continuous charge

• Phone is held in alignment with

charger• In the end it must still have the X

Factor!


It is innovation with familiarity…

It is use of color,

shapes and

contour…

It is just the

right balance

between

technology and finish

What is the X Factor?


What does this mean…?


Lacking familiarity…


On a long enough timeline wireless power will be the primary

method by which we power our mobile devices.

Is your laptop connected to Ethernet right now…?

…your phone?

Future Horizon applications include:

• In vehicle content provided from mobile device

• Autonomous vehicle integration of mobile device content

• Secure Start / Entry via mobile device

• Many others…

Environments build around valuable

real estate, home for mobile device

power, enabler of user/vehiclepersonalization and connectivity.

The Future Horizon…?


…and it must be easy!!!

The Future Horizon…?


How else can wireless power

enable a Great Driving

Experience?

Thank you!
