Abstract:
An electronic device for inductive power transfer with a second electronic device is disclosed. The electronic device includes a first inductive coil and a permanent magnet strucrure for creating a magnetic attachment between the electronic device and the second electronic device. The permanent magnet structure is positioned around an outer perimeter of the inductive coil to align the inductive coil with a second inductive coil in the second electronic device for inductive power transfer. The permanent magnet structure forms a ring that includes a gap and includes one or more arc-shaped magnets. The permanent magnet structure is configured such that the electronic device can be rotated across a continuous range of angles with respect to the second electronic device while keeping alignment between the coils during inductive power transfer. The electronic device is configured to communicate with the second electronic device through a modulated current in the inductive coil.
