Abstract: A charging station is provided for charging electronic devices that includes a housing comprising a back panel including one or more electrical connectors configured for placement against surface adjacent an outlet such that the one or more electrical connectors may be coupled to the outlet, one or more ports configured to receive charging cables from electronic devices, and a power distribution circuit within the housing for delivering electricity from the outlet coupled to the one or more electrical connectors and the one or more ports. A charging tray is mounted to the housing such that the charging tray is movable between a storage position and an active position, the charging tray including one or more slots for receiving an electronic device during charging.

Abstract: Modular charging devices and methods for using them are provided for simultaneously charging multiple electronic devices. Each charger may include at least one connector including a magnet array and an inductive charging circuit. A first charger may be connected to a power source, and a second charger may be placed adjacent a first side surface of the first charger and a second side surface of the second charger may be oriented towards the first side surface. If connectors of the chargers are compatible, magnet arrays may attract one another to automatically connect the chargers to deliver electrical energy from the power source to both inductive charging circuits. If the connectors are incompatible, the magnet arrays may repel one another to prevent connecting the chargers.

Abstract: A system and method for delivering an electronic video game allows a consumer to purchase the game in sequential portions. The video game is broken down into incremental portions that are each individually available for sale. A consumer purchases a first portion of the video game that contains the first level, or set of levels, of the game. When the first portion is completed by the consumer, the consumer can then buy the next sequential portion for an additional incremental sum of money. The incremental portions may contain one or more levels. Similarly, the initial purchase vehicle may contain the entire game and a consumer purchases key codes to access subsequent portions of the game.
