2 Introductions

Smartphone's have experienced an exceptional development over the last few year, from basic calling mobile for an advanced computing mobile device where multiple services, tasks and App’s run concurrently. In the old days smartphones only meant for enterprise business personnel’s and it was very expensive, however today Smartphone's emerged as the new device to many people, because of it is affordable as it also combines some or all functionalities of a computer, phone, game devices, radio, multimedia player, HD cameras, GPS and other more features that all built in one device which call Smartphone and it’s in the hand of everyone, young, old.
I am proposing a different approach solutions hence the internet connection is one of the main Smartphone battery consumption. Today Wi-Fi is everywhere Home, work, café, restaurant hotels and even cities has been introducing a free Wi-Fi connections to it is residences.
Therefore by utilizing an existing connectivity infrastructure where the (Router – AP) connected to power directly, than we can draw a power of this connection to recharge our Smartphone and portable devices if it is accessible? Such constant connectivity to our devices can be on constant recharging while connecting to the Wi-Fi. however this need to be integrated with the application to monitor the battery status and charge when it is required.
This study include gathering data about all aspect involving from varies resources such as research literature, article, research papers, general internet topics , such as Smartphone hardware and utilities (Wi-Fi) battery , applications, routers, AP, Wi-Fi and mainly converting data to power and vice versa.
Smartphone have been one of the greatest drivers of pervasive computing.

we're living in exciting times, as the pace of innovation and development in this area continues to accelerate.
3 Motivation and Related work

I am like every Smartphone user that can probably make it through the day on a single charge, but not without a degree of caution, by keep Bluetooth turned off when it’s not in use, and avoid long stretches of data use over 4G. High-end games and streaming video are guaranteed to melt away battery life, and if i am spending a few hours in a dead zone, I better off powering down instead of wasting precious juice searching for a signal.

Because battery capacity hasn’t improved much over the years, the batteries themselves have gotten bigger, limiting how thin and light phones can be. Meanwhile, technologies like 1080p screens and wireless screen mirroring have been hamstrung by batteries that can’t keep up. Bad battery life can be an Achilles’ heel for otherwise solid phones; by the time you realize your phone’s battery stinks, it might be too late to send it back to the

store

3.5. Research report

Our approach in this paper to develop a hardware and software resolution for Smartphone battery Recharge through Wi-Fi connection, to improve the user experience in charging smartphones. Instead of forcing a user to explicitly indicate the intention of charging by plugging in a wired charger or contacting a small wireless charging pad,
in the Wi-Fi Charge, the charger itself identifies the opportunities of charging a Smartphone when a user he or she connects the Smartphone into any Wi-Fi . As soon as the connections established, power will be transferred to the Smartphone as data then application will be translating this data to power to recharge the battery automatically and starts to charge when battery status checked low, without needing any explicit effort from the user.
Consequently, the user is able to largely get rid of the burden of the manual Smartphone charging and the user experience is significantly improved. Wi-Fi recharge approach takes advantage of two kinds of key techniques to enable automatic Smartphone charging.
• First, translate the power from the (Router or AP) to data (packets) and give it power tagging so it can send through the Wi-Fi (radio Wave)
• Upon packet received by the smartphone, the adapter and power application will translate and decode the data(packet) that was tagged into power , the application will detect the battery status and me a decision to activate power charging upon checking power status.
• Smartphone Applications : detect battery status to start recharging and after the battery is full , the charging will stops.
• Wi-Fi Recharge Application will be deployed on both hardware’s ( Router, Smartphone)

Thus study research is promising to improve the user experience of Smartphone charging.
The whole process is completely transparent from the user. In addition, the developed Software -Application is able to support multiple smartphones in the router side. If there are multiple smartphones on the same Area, the charger can charge them at the same time, no limitations

The main contributions of this paper are as follows.
• New Smartphone charging approach called Auto Wi-Fi recharge. By using Wi-Fi, the Auto Wi-Fi recharge approach is able to charge smartphones without a wire connect.
• We design an automatic Smartphone application to detection battery status
• We develop a software for .
• Combining automatic Smartphonecharging and application power optimization which significantly reduces user effort in charging smartphones.
The theoretical research and study that has been conducted demonstrate that it is feasible to build an automatic charging system by developing a software application in both hardware’s (Smartphone and Wi-Fi Router)
However, as people spend most time in office and at home, Wi-Fi recharge may be used to largely reduce users’ effort in charging their smartphones every day. In this paper, we focus on exploring new ways for Smartphone charging and study the feasibility of automatic Smartphone charging.
The research do not intend to completely replace the existing Smartphone chargers using Wi-Fi recharge technique. Another issue of the Auto Wi-Fi recharge approach is that it does not work large areas as dictated with the Wi-Fi type short area wireless network at this moment as it is been smartphones because it requires that Smartphone must integrate a PV panel to work with a light charger. However, smartphones are consumer electronics and we see that Smartphone makers like Apple and Samsung typically release a new generation of smartphones every year or even less than one year.

5 Conclusion

Today, the smartphones have high member and processing capabilities and are able to run concurrently multiple services and applications. However this paper introduced a feature possibility for now generation to come overcome the battery life of a Smartphone and charging your Smartphone through Wi-Fi Recharge, that we all waiting for as a new solution to prolong Smartphone's’ battery life. The ultimate aim of the Wi-Fi recharge approach is identifying the opportunities of Smartphone charging from any Wi-Fi Connection you connected to and never worried if you caring a charger or not as the battery will constantly charging as long as there is a Wi-Fi connection. I hope that by presenting this data and theory will enable such future research for a larger range of recharge and not limited to Wi-Fi range area connections.
