1. A method for mounting and charging a portable electronic device comprising:
- receiving a command to begin operating a wireless charging device;
operating a suction pump in response to receiving the command to begin operating such that air is drawn through a suctioning unit positioned on or adjacent to an induction charging surface of the wireless charging device to draw a portable electronic device toward the induction charging surface; and
providing power to an induction coil on or adjacent to the induction charging surface to transfer energy from the wireless charging device to the portable electronic device while the portable electronic device is on or in contiguity to the induction charging surface.

18. A method for simultaneously mounting and wirelessly charging a portable electronic device in a vertical, semi-vertical, or horizontal position comprising:
-
providing a wireless charging device including an induction charging surface that is associated with an induction coil; creating a suctioning vacuum by drawing air through air intake holes of a plurality of suctioning units through a vacuum air duct into a suction pump to create a suction vacuum between the plurality of suctioning units and the surface of the portable electronic device; and providing a wireless electrical charge from the induction coil to transfer the wireless electric charge through an electromagnetic field from the induction coil to a receiver coil within the portable electronic device. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
