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.

A method of charging a device, the method comprising:
- providing a first housing comprising a first coil, a second coil, and a first control logic to control the functioning of the first and second coil depending on an orientation of the first housing, wherein each of the first coil and the second coil of the first housing can function as both a receiver coil and a transmitter coil, and at least one of the first coil or the second coil include a ferrite material able to detect a magnetic field associated with the device and the first control logic controls the functioning of the first coil and second coil based on the detection of the magnetic field.
A charging system, the system comprising:
- a first housing comprising a first coil, a second coil, and a first control logic to control the functioning of the first and second coil of depending on an orientation of the first housing, wherein each of the first coil and the second coil of the first housing can function as both a receiver coil and a transmitter coil, and at least one of the first coil or the second coil include a ferrite material able to detect a magnetic field associated with the device and the first control logic controls the functioning of the first coil and second coil based on the detection of the magnetic field.
