Electromagnetic coupling interface and method for managing an electromagnetic coupling capability
First Claim
1. An electromagnetic coupling interface comprising:
- a carrier substrate including two or more moveably coupled segments, the carrier substrate having at least two electromagnetic coupling use positions, where in each electromagnetic coupling use position the two or more moveably coupled segments have a different spatial arrangement; and
two or more sets of conductors, where each set of conductors is associated with a respective one of the two or more moveably coupled segments of the carrier substrate and is associated with one or more coils in each of the at least two electromagnetic coupling use positions; and
wherein the carrier substrate of which the movably coupled segments are a part, folds between the at least two electromagnetic coupling use positions along one or more fold lines.

Abstract
The present application provides an electromagnetic coupling interface and a method for managing an electromagnetic coupling capability relative to a particular charge location with an electromagnetic coupling interface. The electromagnetic coupling interface includes a carrier substrate including two or more moveably coupled segments, the carrier substrate having at least two use positions, where in each use position the two or more moveably coupled segments have a different spatial arrangement. The electromagnetic coupling further includes two or more sets of conductors, where each set of conductors is associated with a respective one of the two or more moveably coupled segments of the carrier substrate and is associated with one or more coils in each of the at least two use positions.

17. A method for managing an electromagnetic coupling capability relative to a particular charge location with an electromagnetic coupling interface including a carrier substrate with multiple moveably coupled segments having at least two electromagnetic coupling use positions, wherein the carrier substrate of which the movably coupled segments are a part, folds between the at least two electromagnetic coupling use positions along one or more fold lines, where in each electromagnetic coupling use position the multiple moveably coupled segments have a different spatial arrangement, and multiple sets of conductors, where each set of conductors is respectively associated with one of the multiple moveably coupled segments, the method comprising:
-
detecting the present electromagnetic coupling use position of the multiple moveably coupled segments of the carrier substrate; and applying a signal to each of the multiple sets of conductors dependent upon the present electromagnetic coupling use position which has been detected. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
