Mangrove has announced that it will set up 100,000 "Powermat Spot" free wireless charging sites in 7,500 stores in the United States, including Teavana Tea Bar, and try them out from the Bay Area of Los Angeles. In the future, consumers will disconnect the power socket, only need to put the mobile phone on the special equipment of the desktop to complete the charging of the mobile phone.

Mangrove has announced that it will set up 100,000 "Powermat Spot" free wireless charging sites in 7,500 stores in the United States, including Teavana Tea Bar, and try them out from the Bay Area of Los Angeles. In the future, consumers will disconnect the power socket, only need to put the mobile phone on the special equipment of the desktop to complete the charging of the mobile phone. "Powermat" looks like a small black disc, which can continue to emit low-power, convenient for consumers to enjoy coffee together, incidentally charged for various portable smart terminals. Powermat was founded in 2006 by Ran Poliakine, an Israeli entrepreneur. For many years, Powermat has been devoted to the development of wired charging conversion skills for mobile phones and other devices. In 2011, it began to collaborate with King's Battery and launched a series of sleeves, adapters and other products to meet the charging needs of mobile intelligent terminals. The Powermat in Mangrove is its latest product. It uses a new skill called "electromagnetic induction charging", which can transmit electricity between nearby objects. Its biggest selling point is that it no longer needs that annoying wire when charging.


Actually, electromagnetic induction, as the basic skill of wireless charging, has not been a new thing for a long time. It has existed for more than 100 years. Its principle is as follows: firstly, the electromagnetic induction coil on the charging seat will form an electromagnetic field, which will deliver electricity to another electromagnetic induction coil when it is touched (coil is usually connected to the equipment that needs charging). Power. In the opinion of experts, it works in the same way as charging your electric toothbrush with a charging seat.


However, electromagnetic induction skills also have shortcomings, making it difficult to become a mainstream skills. Above all, each electromagnetic induction coil can only charge one device. As a result, it is inefficient and inconvenient in the environment where multiple devices coexist. Secondly, it requires the user to position the device accurately so that the coil can start and stick to the charging program.


In this regard, RanPoliakine's concept is that the key to implementing wireless charging technology is not how to complete the fastest or most useful connection, but how to make people use it where they need it most: "The problem we are trying to deal with is how to make consumers charge all day. The biggest obstacle is relevancy. Where should we put the charging point? He added: "The place where you most need this service is outside your home or office."


What he said is quite reasonable. Putting the charging point in Mangrove's store is a good way to at least prevent consumers from having to find power outlets everywhere while chatting in the cafe. Otherwise, you can put it in an airport, hotel or Powermat charging station. In terms of charging power, wireless charging is not as good as wired charging. That is to say, wireless charging will take more time. But the meaning of wireless charging is to make full use of debris moments - you don't have to pull out wires to penetrate the interface, when you don't need a cell phone, to put it down is equivalent to charging it, do not have to "find a time to charge".


Various normative skills are too numerous to cover
However, whether wireless charging can become the mainstream, Mangrove said nothing. Nokia's emotions are important in this regard.


As the first manufacturer to introduce wireless charging technology to smartphones, Nokia UK recently demonstrated the charm of wireless charging technology in the form of cartoon short films. In the video, a couple returned to their bedroom after a tired day. The hero (using the iPhone) went home and went to bed to recharge his cell phone. Then he looked for the charger everywhere, and finally, because he threw it at random, the charging line broke off the interface again. On the contrary, the heroine simply put Lumia 1520 on a wireless charging plate, and then, the next morning, she will find that the mobile phone is properly "fully charged and revived". The voiceover of the video emphasizes: "In your bedroom, it's time to say No to the troubled cables. With a wireless charger, you can charge the Lumia smartphone as well as a child asleep.


Among the giants of smart terminals, Nokia invests most in wireless charging skills, which can be called "the first crab eater". The Lumia 920 and Lumia 820 released in 2012 were the first smartphones to support this function. Together, Nokia has developed cutting-edge multi-wireless charging peripherals, such as wireless charging trays, wireless charging brackets, Fatboy wireless charging pillows, and JBLPowerUp wireless charging speakers... Simply put the mobile phone supporting this function on one of the above devices, you can start charging actively.


Nevertheless, there is no common skill standard in the field of wireless charging, even though the giants are scraping their hands. The "Qi" specifications represented by Nokia Lumia devices and the Powerrmat-led Power Alliance (PMA) specifications are incompatible with each other despite the same selection of electromagnetic induction skills. In Manrove, for example, Powermat according to the PMA specification cannot charge wireless devices such as Nexus tablets and Lumia phones that support the Qi specification. Despite its low threshold and versatility, Qi has become the favorite standard for mobile phone and mobile device manufacturers. There are more than 200 enterprises supporting Qi in the industry, while only 72 PMAs are needed. However, incompatibility means incompatibility. For ordinary users, there is no way.


In addition to the most prevalent electromagnetic induction, the wireless charging skills of hand-to-hand and hand-to-hand moxibustion and
