Patent Images
1. A computing device comprising;
- a wireless power module;
a sensor to detect a direction and an amount of a misalignment with an object in a wireless power transmitter;
a haptic module to move the computing device in by the amount and in the direction; and
a controller to compare the amount of the misalignment to a threshold and to control the haptic module to move the computing device by the amount and in the direction to be aligned with the wireless power transmitter when the amount of the misalignment is below the threshold.

Abstract
A computing device can include a wireless power module and a haptic module to move the computing device in a direction. A controller in the computing device can detect a misalignment of the wireless power module with a wireless power transmitter. The controller can control the haptic module to move the computing device to be aligned with the wireless power transmitter.

10. A method comprising:
-
sensing, by a computing device, a direction and an amount of a misalignment between a wireless power module and a wireless power transmitter; comparing, by a controller, the amount of misalignment from the sensing to a threshold; determining, by the controller, that the amount of the misalignment is below the threshold; and activating, by the controller, a haptic module to align the wireless power module with the wireless power transmitter until the wireless power module is aligned with the wireless power transmitter. - View Dependent Claims (11)

12. A computer readable medium comprising code that when executed by a controller in a computing device causes the controller to:
-
determine a direction and an amount of a misalignment between a wireless power module and a wireless power transmitter; compare the amount of misalignment to a threshold; determine that the amount of misalignment is below the threshold; and activate a haptic module to align the wireless power module with the wireless power transmitter until the wireless power module is aligned with the wireless power transmitter. - View Dependent Claims (13)
