, Description:BACKGROUND
Field of the invention
[001] Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to a mobile phone case and particularly to an infinity charging case for mobile phones.
Description of Related Art
[002] Number of mobile phone users is rapidly increasing on a daily basis with an estimated increase in millions. The number of smartphone users around the globe surpasses six billion and is forecast to grow further by several hundred million in next coming years. As per a standard design, the mobile phone needs charging periodical depending on battery size, type, and usability. When the mobile phone is charged completely, it is said to have completed a charge cycle and when it discharges from a higher level to a lower level, it is said to have completed a discharge cycle.
[003] Mobile phone’s battery gets worse over time as users keep on charging the mobile devices which will complete charge and discharge cycles and results in less battery capacity over time. The thumb rule for charging the battery is to keep the charge between 30% and 90% to make the battery life long-lasting.
[004] Conventionally, power banks have been used for charging mobile phones. However, the power banks available in the market are bulky and have wired charging. Also, mobile charging using the power bank is not convenient as a charging female connector can become faulty on constant movements while charging the mobile phone.
[005] There is thus a need for an improved and advanced solution that can administer the aforementioned issues in a more efficient manner.
