Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention specifically relate to a system for simultaneously wirelessly charging portable rechargeable devices and facilitating hands-free operation therewith. The system comprises at least one of a wall mountable and integrable electric switch and socket assembly, wherein the assembly comprises a rear panel comprising at least one of a switch socket outlet and display, a front panel comprising a wireless charging unit with free positioning capability and improved coil and shield structure and a structurally adaptable coupling member for coupling the front panel to the rear panel, at least a portable computing and communications device removably positioned on the wireless charging unit and a wireless speaker subsystem, wherein the display is wirelessly coupled to the portable computing and communications device.

Claims

1. A system for simultaneously wirelessly charging portable rechargeable devices whilst facilitating hands-free interactivity therewith, the system comprising:

at least one of a physical architectural structure mountable and integrable electric switch and socket assembly, the assembly comprising;

a rear panel comprising at least one of a switch socket outlet and display,

a front panel comprising a wireless charging unit with free positioning capability and improved coil and shield structure, and

a structurally adaptable coupling member for coupling the front panel with the rear panel;

at least a portable computing and communications device removably positioned on the wireless charging unit; and

a wireless speaker subsystem, wherein the display is wirelessly coupled to the portable computing and communications device.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the display is a second screen display, and wherein the second screen display is at least one of a remote-controlled and touch-sensitive display.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the front panel may also comprise of the display.

4. The system of claim 2, wherein the at least one of remote-controlled and touch-sensitive display facilitates hands-free operation of the portable computing and communication device and interaction therewith correspondingly via at least one of usage of a remote control and performance of touch action, whilst the portable computing and communications device is still subject to simultaneous wireless charging.

5. The system of claim 4, the at least one of remote-controlled and touch-sensitive display facilitates performance of one or more hands-free tasks, such as viewing, attending or responding to incoming calls, making outgoing calls, accessing, reading and responding to incoming messages, creating or writing and sending outgoing messages, accessing, retrieving, and executing, such as implementing, viewing and listening, mobile applications, multimedia files and the like, on the portable computing and communications device in at least one of a remote-controlled and touch-sensitive mode, whilst the portable computing and communications device is still subject to simultaneous wireless charging.

6. The system of claim 5, wherein the one or more hands-free tasks comprise at least one of 1) receiving multimedia information and communications, accessing, retrieving, viewing, listening, interacting via conversing with and attending to the received multimedia contents and communications, 2) at least one of creating new, modifying existing and stored multimedia contents and communications, 3) sending the at least one of newly created, modified and stored multimedia contents and communications and 4) installing, accessing, retrieving and implementing mobile applications.

7. The system of claim 1, wherein the wireless speaker subsystem facilitates wireless conversion of electrical audio signals into sound.

8. The system of claim 1, wherein the wireless charging unit facilitates seamless and simultaneous wireless charging of at least a pair of the portable rechargeable devices with adaptive free positioning capability.

9. The system of claim 1, wherein the wireless charging unit facilitates seamless and simultaneous wireless charging of at least a pair of the portable rechargeable devices based on one or more of wireless power transfer technologies.

10. The system of claim 1, wherein the seamless and simultaneous wireless charging of at least the pair of the portable rechargeable devices may be at least one technology, standard, protocol, device agnostic and a combination thereof.
