Humavox wireless charging solution designed to solve many of the usability flaws experienced by users of IoT (Internet of Things) devices mainly short battery life and the numerous power cords. Wireless charging sustains the true vision of IoT: cordless mobility, flexible design and zero concern about remaining battery.

3. My lifeis stacked with these…

4.  Mostportableelectronic devices arepowercorddependent
 Somestill dependonprimarycells which means replacing batteries
 With #IoT visionbecoming areality,users topexisting electronics with wearabletech
 Each device has differentpowerrequirement andoperatingtime
 Mostdevices featureuniqueUSB based powerinterfaceports
 Resulting in more cables in our life
#IoT is facinga usabilitychallenge

6. • How will we treat ourdevices when not in use (Bed time, traveling, bathing, Etc.)
• How will you charge them? Can you keep track ofbattery life with multiple devices?
• Where andhow will you store your,sensors?
• Existing charging methods can’t fit in this space
• How can we change that?
In theAge of #IoT, Power is Not Justfor Charging.

9.  Requirescoupling conditions by device placement i.e dependency on user
 Optimum conditions are almost neverarchived
 Lower efficiency, waste heat -Themain disadvantages of inductivecharging are its lower efficiencyand
increased resistive heating in comparison to direct contact
 Slower chargingdueto the lower efficiency
 Inconvenience– with the device placed on a chargingsurface, theuser can’t interact with it
Main Disadvantage:Usability thatLeads to a Chainof flaws

22.  Wireless Chargingis the “gatekeeper” of #IoT devices functionality
 It unifies chargingfor multiple devices
 It reduces the numberof cords inour lifesubstantially
 Itunleashes HWdesign existing constrains (USBPort)
 It serves as a guiding cloud layerthat helps the industry &users to improve usability
 Improvepower consumption andsupply efficiencywhich prevents waste of energy
Summary
Finally, it also sustains the truevision of #IoT…..
