Abstract
A computing system (100) with external wireless charging coil (150,550,650,750,850), includes a computing apparatus which includes a battery (120,210,320); and the external charging coil (150,550,650,750,850) to be coupled with the computing apparatus, including a self-coiling cable to transition to an uncoiled state when weighted and to transition to a coiled state when unweighted; wherein the battery (120,210,320) is chargeable by inductive charging utilizing the external charging coil (150,550,650,750,850) as an inductive receiving coil.
Claims23
A computing system comprising:
- a computing apparatus, the computing apparatus including a battery;
- and
- an external charging coil to be coupled with the computing apparatus, the external charging coil including a self-coiling cable to transition to a uncoiled state when weighted and to transition to a coiled state when unweighted;
- wherein the battery is chargeable by inductive charging utilizing the external charging coil as an inductive receiving coil.
An external charging coil comprising:
- an exterior insulating cover;
- and
- an interior conductor;
- wherein the external charging coil is self-coiling, the charging coil to transition to an uncoiled state when the external charging coil is weighted and to transition to a coiled state when the external charging coil is unweighted.
A charging station comprising:
- a charging mat portion, the charging mat portion including an inductive transmission coil to generate an electromagnetic field;
- and
- a core coupled with the charging mat portion, the core to provide a charging location for an inductive receiving coil.
