Abstract

A to-be-charged electronic client device is placed on a wireless base device. An information member of the wireless base device provides pairing information to a wireless first charging member which transmits electricity signals including the pairing information in a wireless manner to the electronic client device. The electronic client device is charged by the electricity signals. In the meantime, the electronic client device pairs with a wireless first pairing member of the wireless base device. The wireless first pairing member passes a connectivity information provided by the information member to the electronic client device so that it can linked with the Internet automatically and accordingly. The present invention allows the electronic client device to access the Internet automatically while being wireless charged.

Claims

1. A wireless charging and network connection system,

comprising at least an electronic client device and a wireless base device for the optional placement of the electronic client device, wherein

the wireless base device comprises at least a wireless first charging member, at least an information member, and at least a wireless first paring member, all configured in the wireless base device;

the wireless first charging member transmits electricity signals to the electronic client device for wireless charging the electronic client device;

the information member providing pairing information and connectivity information and is electrically connected to the wireless first charging member where the pairing information is incorporated in the electricity signals;

the wireless first pairing member is electrically connected to the information member and is paired with the electronic client device according to the pairing information; and

the wireless first pairing member transmits the connectivity information to the electronic client device after pairing so that the electronic client device is able to connect to the Internet according to the connectivity information;

wherein the electronic client device comprises a control member controlling the operation of the electronic client device according to the pairing information and the connectivity information, and the electronic client device further comprises a wireless second charging member electrically coupled to the wireless first charging member for wireless charging;
