1. A wireless charging device, comprising:
- a charging station having a charging surface with a power transmitter and a convex contour that concentrically interfaces with a corresponding concave contour of an inner surface of a wearable electronic device powered by a rechargeable battery, the charging station to initiate a power charging sequence at the charging surface when the charging station detects an operational coupling between the power transmitter and a power receiver of the wearable electronic device; and
a sensor configured to detect a movement by a user to wirelessly control at least one operational feature of the wearable electronic device while the wearable electronic device is charging, wherein the wireless control comprises a non-physical contact between the user and both the wearable electronic device and the wireless charging device.

9. At least one computer readable storage medium comprising a set of instructions which, if executed by a wireless charging device, cause the wireless charging device to:
-
detect a location of a wearable electronic device relative to a charging station having a charging surface with a convex contour; initiate a power charging sequence at a charging surface of the charging station when an operational coupling across a concentric interface between a corresponding concave contour of an inner surface of the wearable electronic device and the convex contour of the charging surface is detected; and cause the wireless charging device to detect a movement by a user to wirelessly control at least one operational feature of the wearable electronic device while the wearable electronic device is charging via a non-physical contact between the user and both the wearable electronic device and the wireless charging device. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12)
