Abstract
A charger shelf for wireless charging a portable electronic device located thereon is provided. The charger shelf includes a shelf mounted on a holder and configured to move in a direction of at least one of an X, Y or Z axis from a rest position to an optimal charging positional using an internal drive unit mounted in the shelf, and a charging module connected to an electrical power source and positioned inside the shelf and equipped with at least one coil supplying power to the portable electronic device, the charging module determining an area configured to charge the portable electronic device.
Claims19
A charger shelf for wireless charging a portable electronic device located thereon, the charger shelf comprising:
- a shelf mounted on a holder and configured to move in a direction of at least one of an X, Y or Z axis from a rest position to an optimal charging positional using an internal drive unit mounted in the shelf, and
- a charging module connected to an electrical power source and positioned inside the shelf and equipped with at least one coil supplying power to the portable electronic device, the charging module determining an area configured to charge the portable electronic device,
- wherein the charger shelf is configured to rotate around the x axis by an angle α, rotate around the y axis by an angle β, or rotate around the z axis by an angle γ.
A charger shelf for wireless charging a portable electronic device located thereon, the charger shelf comprising:
- a shelf mounted on a holder and configured to move in a direction of at least one of an X, Y or Z axis from a rest position to an optimal charging positional using an internal drive unit mounted in the shelf,
- a charging module connected to an electrical power source and positioned inside the shelf and equipped with at least one coil supplying power to the portable electronic device, the charging module determining an area configured to charge the portable electronic device, and
- a position sensor matrix configured to recognize a position of the external electronic device on a surface of the charger shelf based on modulation of current drawn by the portable electronic device,
- wherein the panel device is configured to visually display or audibly indicate at least one direction for identifying an optimal charging position for charging the portable electronic device based on the recognized position.
A charger shelf for wireless charging a portable electronic device located thereon, the charger shelf comprising:
- a shelf mounted on a holder and configured to move in a direction of at least one of an X, Y or Z axis from a rest position to an optimal charging positional using a first motor mounted in the shelf,
- a charging module connected to an electrical power source and positioned inside the shelf and equipped with a second motor and at least one coil supplying power to the portable electronic device, the charging module determining an area configured to charge the portable electronic device;
- and
- a position sensor matrix configured to recognize a position of the external electronic device on a surface of the charger shelf based on modulation of current drawn by the portable electronic device,
- wherein the charger shelf is configured to visually display or audibly indicate at least one direction for identifying an optimal charging position for charging the portable electronic device based on the recognized position, and
- wherein the charging module is configured to move from a first position to a second position using the second motor.
