Patent Images
1. An electronic device comprising:
- electronic circuitry for performing logical operations on data;
a power source for powering the electronic circuitry;
a housing for housing or supporting the electronic circuitry and the power source; and
an inductive charging station attached to or integrally formed with the housing and electrically coupled with the power source for inductively charging a battery of a secondary electronic device when the secondary electronic device is placed on or in the vicinity of the inductive charging station.

Abstract
An inductive charging station that does not have to be directly plugged into an electrical socket in order to recharge a battery of an electronic device. The inductive charging station is incorporated into a primary electronic device, such as a laptop computer, for charging or recharging a secondary electronic device, such as a mobile phone. The inductive charging station is electrically coupled with the power source of the primary electronic device so that it may be used to inductively charge the battery of the secondary electronic device without directly plugging either the inductive charging station or the secondary electronic device into an electrical socket or other source of electricity.
