Abstract
Mechanisms are described for providing information to a user regarding a wireless charging operation via the user's mobile terminal. Information may be received from a device engaged in a wireless charging operation, such as the user device being charged and/or the wireless charging plate via which the user device is charged, in response to a trigger. Information such as a charge time remaining, an amount of charge completed, or a charging queue status may be presented by the user's mobile terminal, such as via a display of the mobile terminal and/or through an audible indication provided by a speaker of the mobile terminal. The trigger may be any of a number of user interactions with the device engaged in the wireless charging operation.
