Patent number: 11670973Abstract: A charging system for a peripheral device, such as a stylus, including orientation control. The charging system includes charging circuitry and magnets. The magnets are configured so that they attract the peripheral device to an engagement surface when it is in a first orientation relative to the engagement surface so that charging circuitry in a peripheral device portion couples with charging circuitry in a charger portion. The magnets are configured so that they also repel and rotate the peripheral device when it is in a second orientation relative to the engagement surface.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2022Date of Patent: June 6, 2023Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Patrick Thomas Gaule, Jazmine Ama Hoyle, Yauhen Radzikevich, Anthony James Hewett, Scott Jeffrey Korn, Ketan R. Shah, Katherine Margaret Bailey, Woo Ram Lee, Wenzhao Zhang, Nicolas Jean-Claude Schmitt, Ibrahim Iskender Kushan, Jay Michael Fassett, James Alec Ishihara
