Wireless Charging Coil In Wearable Devices - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240204576 titled 'Wireless Charging Coil In Wearable Devices

The present disclosure describes a wearable device with a wireless power receiving system that can inductively receive or transmit power. The system includes a receiver coil with a profile that matches the contour of the bottom cover of the device. A transmitter coil from a wireless charging device has a complementary profile that aligns with the receiver coil's profile. Additionally, the receiver coil may have a shielding and be conical in shape, with an inner wall, outer wall, and top surface connecting the two walls.

  • Receiver coil with a profile matching the device's bottom cover
  • Transmitter coil with a complementary profile
  • Shielding included in the wireless power receiving system
  • Conical shape of the receiver coil with inner and outer walls
  • Center opening in the receiver coil

Potential Applications: - Wearable technology - Wireless charging devices - Consumer electronics

Problems Solved: - Efficient wireless power transmission - Seamless integration of charging technology into wearable devices

Benefits: - Convenience of wireless charging - Enhanced user experience with wearable devices - Reduction of cable clutter

Commercial Applications: Title: "Innovative Wireless Power Receiving System for Wearable Devices" This technology can be utilized in the development of smartwatches, fitness trackers, and other wearable devices, enhancing their functionality and user experience.
