Wireless chargers are provided. The wireless chargers can simultaneously receive and transmit power wirelessly. The wireless chargers can include a rechargeable battery so that the wireless charges can be used portably to charge electronic devices. The wireless chargers can also be programmable so that a user can select a power-transmitting protocol that is particularly suited for the electronic device being charged.

International Classification:
H02J 50/80 H02J 50/10
Abstract:
Methods and systems for charging a device. The method may involve providing a first housing and a second housing, wherein each housing is configured with a first coil, a second coil, and control logic to control the functioning of their respective first and second coils depending on the orientations of the housings. The method may further involve physically linking the first housing and the second housing via a first flexible connection.

International Classification:
H02J 7/02
Abstract:
A system that incorporates teachings of the subject disclosure may include, for example, wireless chargers combined with wireless interrogators. The wireless chargers can transmit power wirelessly, while also wirelessly interrogating a nearby transponder, such as an RFID tag. The wireless chargers with wireless interrogators can also be programmable to allow user-implemented rules operable in response to an interrogation. Such rules can impose restrictions upon whether wireless charging is allowed to take place. Such rules can also be used to select a power-transmitting protocol that is particularly suited for the electronic device being charged. Other embodiments are disclosed.
