Systems, methods and apparatus for wireless charging are disclosed. A charging device has a plurality of charging cells provided on a charging surface provided at a charging surface of the wireless charging device, and a controller. The controller may be configured to provide a charging current to at least one active transmitting coil in the charging surface, measure voltages across three or more transmitting coils in the charging surface and determine that the chargeable device is in motion across the charging surface based on changes in the voltages measured across the three or more transmitting coils. The charging current may cause a wireless transfer of power through the at least one active transmitting coil to a chargeable device located on the charging surface.

A battery in a mobile phone cover may be selectively charged according to a user-selectable parameter. When charged, the battery in the mobile phone cover may be used to charge a battery in a mobile phone.

There is described an electric power base (100) comprising: a casing (105), a wireless transmitter (110) of electric energy placed in the casing (105), and an interface surface (120) placed external to the casing (105), at said wireless transmitter (110), which is adapted to receive in contact a device (500) to be powered, characterized in that said interface surface (120) is made available by at least one microsuction body (125).

A case a portable listening device. The case includes a housing having an interior space to receive the portable listening device; a lid attached to the housing; a rechargeable battery and first and second wireless power receiving elements configured to receive electric charge from a wireless power transmitter during a charging event. The case further includes switching circuitry that is configured to disable one of the first or second wireless power receiving elements during a charging event when the disabled element is receiving power less efficiently than the other element.

An assistive system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a cradle module including a holder body on which a user terminal is to be placed and a drive unit configured to drive the holder body, the cradle module configured to output a terminal connection signal when the user terminal is placed on the holder body, and an assistant server configured to receive the terminal connection signal from the cradle module and execute an assistive service, the assistant server configured to control the drive unit by a preset drive pattern through a drive control signal when executing the assistive service. It is possible to easily and conveniently identify a plurality of assistive services outputted according to each situation by controlling a cradle module through a drive pattern corresponding to an assistive service while outputting a voice corresponding to the assistive service when executing the assistive service.

An AIDC device cradle includes a stand having a post, base plate, and a protruding head. An expandable tray rotatably attached to the axle head via a pivot pin. The expandable tray including an upper bracket and a lower bracket configured to expand and contract along a longitudinal axis of the expandable tray such that the size of the expandable tray may vary to accommodate AIDC device case with an AIDC device or an AIDC device directly. The upper bracket and the lower bracket having side walls which are perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the expandable tray helping to secure the AIDC device within the tray. A plurality of locking holes and slots are provided to lock the cradle in position and secure the AIDC device within the device cradle. Integrated charging options are provided.

A watch band changing cradle for a smart watch eliminates the need to use a finger nail to press release buttons on the backside surface of a smart watch when changing or swapping watch bands using slide-in band attachment fittings. The cradle is configured so that the smart watch nests and naturally aligns itself in the cradle so that release protrusions in the cradle can be used reliably to depress the release buttons on the backside of the smart watch. The cradle can be adapted to hold a disc-shaped induction charging pad which is magnetically attracted to the smart watch. The cradle can make the smart watch easier to stow when charging, and the magnetic attraction helps to align and hold the smart watch in the cradle.

A multifunctional charging station is provided. The multifunctional charging station includes a housing, an alarm clock, an AC input connector, an AC output interface, a DC output interface, a luminous display screen, a wireless charging system, a controller and a managing circuit. The multifunctional charging station is configured to optimally supply electrical power to AC and DC electric devices, while wirelessly charging electric devices at the same time, and functions as an alarm clock and lighting system (e.g., a nightlight).

A power receiving circuit, a power transmitting circuit, an apparatus, and a feed system are disclosed. The power receiving circuit receives power in a noncontact manner, and comprises an LC parallel resonant circuit and a reactance element that is electrically connected in series to the LC parallel resonant circuit. The reactive element may be a capacitive or inductive element. In effect, a coil or capacitor in the LC parallel resonant circuit and the reactance element define another LC resonant circuit, namely, an LC series resonant circuit. The power transmitting circuit transmits power in a noncontact manner, and in one example, may also include a similar configuration.

A handheld device includes an electronic instrument and a capacitive power supply for storing and delivering power to the electronic instrument. The capacitive power supply includes at least one capacitor, and an electronic circuit operable to boost a voltage from the capacitor to a higher voltage for use by the electronic instrument. The capacitive power supply can be rapidly recharged. Some configurations include an accelerometer which permits the handheld device to detect movement and perform various operations responsive to detected movement. A dual charging station is also disclosed.
