Electronic device including non-contact charging module
DCFirst Claim
1. An electronic device having a communication capability, the electronic device comprising:
- a housing;
a non-contact charging module housed in the housing and configured to receive electric power through electromagnetic induction, the non-contact charging module including;
(i) a first coil comprised of an electrical line wound to define a first hole, and (ii) a first magnetic body opposing the first coil; and
a display placed such that the first magnetic body is interposed between the display and the first coil,whereinthe non-contact charging module is structured to align with a counterpart non-contact charging module including a second hole, the second hole including a magnet in a first case and the second hole not including the magnet in a second case, and the non-contact charging module, in operation, aligns with the counterpart non-contact charging module either in the first case or in the second case.

Abstract
This communication apparatus makes it possible to have a non-contact charging module and a sheet antenna coexist, even in the case where there the non-contact charging module and the sheet antenna in the communication apparatus. The apparatus is provided with: a housing; a secondary-side non-contact charging module, which is housed in the housing, receives power by means of electromagnetic induction, and has a first coil having a conducting wire wound thereon, and a first magnetic sheet facing the first coil; and an NFC antenna, which is housed in the housing, and has a second coil having a conducting wire wound thereon, and a second magnetic sheet facing the second coil. The secondary-side non-contact charging module and the NFC antenna are not laminated to each other.

19. A method of charging an electronic device, comprising:
-
providing the electronic device including a non-contact charging module configured to receive electric power through electromagnetic induction, the non-contact charging module including;
(i) a first coil comprised of an electrical line wound to define a first hole, and (ii) a first magnetic body opposing the first coil, the electronic device further including a display placed such that the first magnetic body is interposed between the display and the first coil;when a counterpart non-contact charging module includes a magnet placed in a second hole of the counterpart non-contact charging module, aligning the non-contact charging module with the counterpart non-contact charging module by aligning the first hole of the non-contact charging module with the magnet of the counterpart non-contact charging module; and when the counterpart non-contact charging module does not include the magnet placed in the second hole of the counterpart non-contact charging module, aligning the non-contact charging module with the counterpart non-contact charging module by aligning the first hole of the non-contact charging module with the second hole of the counterpart non-contact charging module.
