Abstract

An electronic device comprises a substrate; a main coil mounted on the substrate; and at least one auxiliary coil disposed near the main coil and electromagnetically coupled to the main coil, wherein the main coil is configured to receive an electromagnetic field generated by the at least one auxiliary coil.

Claims

1. An electronic device comprising:

a substrate;

a main coil mounted on the substrate; and

a plurality of auxiliary coils disposed near the main coil and electromagnetically coupled to the main coil,

wherein the plurality of auxiliary coils are configured to wirelessly receive power from an external power source and transferred the power to the main coil via an electromagnetic interaction between the plurality of auxiliary coils and the main coil.

2. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the auxiliary coils are disposed in an inner side of a housing of the electronic device.

3. The electronic device of claim 2, wherein at least one of the plurality of auxiliary coils includes a thin film coupled to the inner side of the housing of the electronic device.

4. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the plurality auxiliary coils are disposed in at least two inner sides of the housing, and wherein the main coil is between the auxiliary coils.

5. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the plurality of auxiliary coils are insert-molded in a housing of the electronic device so that the plurality of auxiliary coils and the housing are coupled with each other.

6. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the area of the plurality of auxiliary coils are at least greater than the area of the main coil.

7. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the plurality of auxiliary coils include two auxiliary coils, and wherein the main coil is disposed between the two auxiliary coils.

8. The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the plurality of auxiliary coils are further configured to receive the power from an electromagnetic field generated proximate to the auxiliary coils.

9. An electronic device comprising:

a substrate;

a main coil mounted on the substrate; and

at least one auxiliary coil disposed near the main coil and electromagnetically coupled to the main coil,

wherein the main coil is configured to receive an electromagnetic field generated by the at least one auxiliary coil.

10. The electronic device of claim 9, wherein the at least one auxiliary coil is disposed in an inner side of a housing of the electronic device.

11. The electronic device of claim 10, wherein the at least one auxiliary coil includes a thin film coupled to the inner side of the housing of the electronic device.

12. The electronic device of claim 10, wherein the at least one auxiliary coil is disposed in at least two inner sides of the housing, and wherein the main coil is between the auxiliary coils.

13. The electronic device of claim 9, wherein the at least one auxiliary coil is insert-molded in a housing of the electronic device so that the at least one auxiliary coil and the housing are coupled with each other.

14. The electronic device of claim 9, wherein the area of the main coil is at least greater than the area of the at least one auxiliary coil.

15. The electronic device of claim 9, wherein the at least one auxiliary coil includes two auxiliary coils, and wherein the main coil is disposed between the two auxiliary coils.

16. The electronic device of claim 9, wherein the at least one auxiliary coil is further configured to receive power from an electromagnetic field generated proximate to the at least one auxiliary coil.
