Abstract

The invention provides an electromagnetically shielded enclosure for personal electronic device security, comprising a lower enclosure having a receiving space for at least one electronic devices disposed on a base portion of the lower enclosure. An upper lid is structurally engaging with the whole lower enclosure to form an electromagnetically shielding structure. A wireless charging element is configured on the lower enclosure for wirelessly charging to provide power to at least one electronic device.

Claims

1. An electromagnetically shielding enclosure for personal electronic device security, comprising:

a lower enclosure having a receiving space for at least one electronic device disposed on a base portion of said lower enclosure;

an upper lid structurally engaging with whole said lower enclosure to form an electromagnetically shielding structure;

a wireless charging element configured on said lower enclosure for wirelessly charging to provide power to said at least one electronic device; and

a battery pack configured to drive a magnet locking mechanism and provide power to a transmitter coil to wirelessly transmit power to said at least one electronic device;

a touch status printed circuit board (PCB) coupled to control said wireless charging element for wirelessly charging to provide power to said at least one electronic device, and coupled to said magnet locking mechanism.

2. The electromagnetically shielding enclosure of claim 1, wherein said lower enclosure consists of a lower non-shielding outer enclosure and an electromagnetically shielding conductive material coated on an interior portion of said lower non-shielding outer enclosure.

3. The electromagnetically shielding enclosure of claim 2, wherein said upper lid consists of an upper non-shielding outer enclosure and an electromagnetically shielding conductive material coated on an interior portion of said upper non-shielding outer enclosure.

4. The electromagnetically shielding enclosure of claim 1, wherein said lower enclosure is configured with a shielded cable fixed onto a rear end of said lower enclosure.

5. The electromagnetically shielding enclosure of claim 1, wherein said lower enclosure and said upper lid are made of metallic material.

6. The electromagnetically shielding enclosure of claim 1, wherein said transmitter coil is configured on said wireless charging element.

7. The electromagnetically shielding enclosure of claim 1, further comprising a power cable connector configured on a side of said lower enclosure.

8. The electromagnetically shielding enclosure of claim 1, further comprising an electromagnetically shielding gasket configured between said lower enclosure and said upper lid to ensure that a gap does not reduce shielding effectiveness.

9. The electromagnetically shielding enclosure of claim 1, wherein said upper lid is sliding along a slide portion of said lower enclosure to close said electromagnetically shielding enclosure.

10. The electromagnetically shielding enclosure of claim 1, wherein said lower enclosure has a slide portion for sliding by said upper lid to close said electromagnetically shielding enclosure.

11. An electromagnetically shielding enclosure for personal electronic device security, comprising:

a lower enclosure having a receiving space for at least one electronic device;

an upper lid structurally engaging with whole said lower enclosure to form an electromagnetically shielding structure;

a shelf configured on a base portion of said lower enclosure to support said at least electronic device;

an electronics cover configured on a base portion of said lower enclosure;

a wireless charging element configured under said electronics cover for wirelessly charging to provide power to said at least one electronic devices;

a battery pack configured to drive a magnet locking mechanism and provide power to a transmitter coil to wirelessly transmit power to said at least one electronic device; and

a touch status printed circuit board (PCB) coupled to control said wireless charging element for wirelessly charging to provide power to said at least one electronic device, and coupled to said magnet locking mechanism.

12. The electromagnetically shielding enclosure of claim 11, wherein said lower enclosure consists of a lower non-shielding outer enclosure and an electromagnetically shielding conductive material coated on an interior portion of said lower non-shielding outer enclosure.
