Abstract
There is disclosed a sleeve for holding a portable electronic device such as an MP3 player, mobile telephone, PDA and the like. The sleeve is provided with an integrally formed secondary winding that enables the sleeve to pick up magnetic flux from an inductive charging platform and associated circuitry for generating a DC charging voltage that can be used to charge a battery in the device while the device is received within the sleeve. The sleeve is formed with a connector designed to fit a power/data connection socket in the device, and may also be provided with a connection port enabling the device to be connected to a computer while it is received within the sleeve.
Claims19
A sleeve for receiving a mobile electronic device, said sleeve including a winding for receiving magnetic flux from an inductive charging system, an energy processing circuit for generating a DC output voltage from said magnetic flux, and electrical connection means for connecting said circuit to said device received within said sleeve whereby said device may be charged directly by said inductive charging system by placing said sleeve with the device therein on a surface of said inductive charging system and wherein said winding, said energy processing circuit, and said electrical connection means are integrated with said sleeve as a single unit.
