Abstract: A combination support stand and speaker system is provided for supporting a portable electronic device, such as a tablet computing device, a smart phone, or a portable music player, to facilitate the display and transmission of multimedia content from the electronic device. In general, a support stand is provided for holding an electronic device, where the support stand has a set-up condition for supporting an electronic device in a desired orientation and a folded condition for easy transport and/or storage of the stand. Additionally, the support stand includes a speaker system that is operatively connected to an electronic device supported by the stand, for example through a wireless interface, to transmit audio signals through at least one speaker.

Abstract: A portable power charger having an internal rechargeable battery includes a charger housing having at least one power connection port and a flashlight feature having at least one light source. The power connection port is operatively connected to the rechargeable battery and used for connecting the charger with an external power source, an electronic device, or both. The flashlight feature is also operatively connected to the internal battery. The charger housing takes the form of a fashion accessory that can be worn by the user, making the power charger readily available and accessible when needed to charge an electronic device when a standard power source is not available. The charger housing can be opened or folded to expose the power connection port for use, and closed or unfolded to hide the power connection port so as not to detract from the charger's use as a fashion accessory.

Abstract: A portable charger is provided for charging electronic devices from a rechargeable internal battery. To accommodate multiple electronic devices, a portable charger unit is combined with multiple power output connection interfaces for connecting to more than one electronic device, as necessary, including connector cables attached to the charger housing or power connection ports. The charger also includes at least one power input connection interface for recharging the internal battery from an external power source, including an AC wall plug interface and a DC car charger interface, each connected to the charger housing and movable between a retracted, storage position and an extended use position. The power output connector cables can also be stored within storage cavities formed in the charger housing when not in use and extended therefrom for connection with electronic devices in need of recharging. The power connection ports can act as power inputs, power outputs, or both.

Abstract: A portable charger is provided for charging one or more electronic devices from a rechargeable internal battery. The portable charger includes wireless power transmission components, such as a transmitter and a receiver for recharging the charger as well as electronic devices via wireless power transmission methods. The portable charger also includes at least one power connection for connecting the charger with an external power source, or at least one electronic device, or both, for direct charge connectivity. The power connection can be a power connection port or a power connector cable, attached to the charger housing, each capable of acting as a power input, a power output, or both. A processing unit controls operation of the charger for wireless and direct charging.

Abstract: A speaker device for hands-free operation of a mobile device includes a first assembly operable for wireless communication with a mobile device, and a second assembly with a receptacle for docking at least a portion of the first assembly. The first assembly includes a first speaker and a first microphone, while the second assembly includes a second speaker. When the first assembly is docked in the receptacle of the second assembly, the mobile device is connected in wireless communication with the second speaker, and when the first assembly is removed from the second assembly, the mobile device is connected in wireless communication with the first speaker.

Abstract: A portable power charger having an internal rechargeable battery includes a charger housing having at least power connection port and a flashlight portion having at least one flashlight bulb. The power connection port is operatively connected to the rechargeable battery and can be used to connect the charger with an external power source, an electronic device, or both. The flashlight is operatively connected to the internal battery as well, either via a direct connection, via the power connection port, or via a dedicated rechargeable flashlight battery unit that can be recharged from the battery unit of the power charger. The power connection port can act in a power input mode when the charger is connected with an external power source via the power connection port and in a power output mode when at least one electronic device is connected to the charger via the power connection port.

Abstract: A multi-source power adapter includes multiple adapter interfaces for connecting the charger unit or another electronic device to a power source, such as a standard power outlet, a car charger port, an airplane charger port, or a USB interface. In a preferred embodiment, the multi-source adapter unit provides an all-in-one charger adapter in a compact, lightweight unit. The charger adapter includes a body enclosing electrical connections; a wall plug interface operatively connected in the body and configured for insertion into a wall socket; a car charger interface formed on the body and configured for connection into a car socket; and a power output port formed in the body, and connected with the wall plug interface and with the car charger interface via the electrical connections enclosed in the body.
