Abstract
Portable charging is integrated with multi-function electronic device capabilities into a single portable hub package. The hub combines several desirable consumer electronics functions together while at the same time providing a portable reliable power source that can power or charge any device while reducing the carrying weight and complexity of consumer electronics needs. Embodiments include a bi-directional battery, a variety of electrical connection interfaces, and a CPU to coordinate power charging and power distribution to connected devices. Some embodiments may further include other convenient functions including for example, wireless charging, image projection, and software application run-time for applications including media streaming.
