  • MAGNETOMETER FOR ALIGNING A PORTABLE DEVICE ON A PLANAR CHARGING SURFACE OF AN INDUCTIVE CHARGING UNIT
    Publication number: 20150022194
    Abstract: A portable electronic uses a magnetometer to determine an alignment with an inductive charging unit magnetic charging field. The alignment increases a portion of the magnetic charging field generated by the inductive charging unit and received by the portable device to better power the device and reduce battery recharge times. The portable device displays motion icons to facilitate a manual alignment. The magnetometer may also be used for magnetic earthly field applications such as a compass, navigation and augmented reality.
