Smart Wall Plate
First Claim
1. An apparatus for providing electrical power to a portable electronic device comprising:
- a wall plate for surrounding and coupling to an electrically terminated receptacle;
a charging cradle having a resting platform for physically supporting the portable electronic device, the charging cradle being coupled to an outer edge of the wall plate;
a male charging connector coupled to an opening slot of the charging cradle, wherein the male charging connector is insertable into a female charging port of the portable electronic device; and
a transformer circuit coupled to the male charging connector, wherein the transformer circuit transforms a receiving electrical signal to an output electrical signal within a range sufficient for charging the portable electronic device, the transformer circuit.
