System, method, and apparatus for interactively charging a mobile device via induction

A method for interactively charging a mobile electronic device comprising a processor, a memory, a network interface, a near field communication (NFC) reader, and a display, the processor being operatively coupled to the memory and the display, the method comprising:

• providing a housing having
• a body portion having the NFC tag embedded therein;
• a face portion configured to magnetically support a mobile electronic device thereon and having an inductive charging circuit embedded therein, the inductive charging circuit having a coil configured to provide power to the mobile electronic device via a pulsating magnetic field;
• and
• means for receiving a power cord operative to provide power to the inductive charging circuit embedded in the housing;
• and
• by the mobile electronic device, executing computer-readable instructions stored in the memory to generate a screen on the mobile electronic device display of an interactive and personalizable animation depicting facial features corresponding to the housing.

An inductive mobile electronic device charger, comprising:

• a housing having
• a body portion having a torso and at least one limb;
• a face portion configured to magnetically support a mobile electronic device facing outward therefrom and having an inductive charging circuit embedded therein, the inductive charging circuit having a coil configured to provide power to the mobile electronic device via a pulsating magnetic field;
• and
• means for receiving a power cord operative to provide power to the inductive charging circuit embedded in the housing.
