Abstract

An integrated magnetic device and a magnetic board thereof are disclosed, which attract portable electronic devices located on the board. The magnetic board includes a body, a magnetic element and a power transmission unit on the body, and a power unit. The magnetic elements of the magnetic board and the portable electronic device attract each other so that the electronic device may be located on the board. The power transmission units of the magnetic board may connect with the portable electronic device, for charging the electronic device'"'"'s battery. The magnetic board further comprises a signal transmission unit for transmitting the portable electronic device'"'"'s signals to an output device. The integrated magnetic device further comprises a magnetic holder for carrying the portable electronic device and being magnetically attached to the board. Multiple magnetic boards may connect with each other to enlarge the area for magnetically attaching more portable electronic devices.
