  • Wireless Charging System and Method for Electronic Device Grip Holder
    Publication number: 20220102993
    Abstract: A wireless charging system includes an induction coil to generate a magnetic field attached to a housing that has a hole in a surface to accept a grip. A user inserts a grip attached to an electronic device with a receiver circuit, including a receiver coil, into the hole bringing the receiver coil into contact with the magnetic field generated by the induction coil. The magnetic field induces a current in the receiver coil which is used to charge the electronic device. In certain instances, the housing is secured to another surface by an attached mount. Moreover, in certain instances the electronic device is supported by a portion of the hole's perimeter supporting the grip or a securing mechanism holding the grip inside the hole.
