Abstract: A charging device, for charging a rechargeable device, which comprises a power converter stage, adapted to convert power from a power source to charge the rechargeable device when the rechargeable device is connected to the charging device, and an energy bank, adapted for fast charging of the rechargeable device. The charging by the energy bank is independent but simultaneous to the charging of the rechargeable device by the power converter stage.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an electronic equipment for a wireless communication system comprising a near field interface (4) for exchanging contact information with at least one further electronic equipment via near field communication, said contact information serving for communicating within the wireless communication system, a group editing means (3) for creating a group of contact information comprising at least the received contact information, whereby each contact information of the group relates to an electronic equipment, and a communication means (8) for setting up a communication within the wireless communication system to the group of electronic equipments in accordance with the group of contact information. The present invention further relates to a method for operating such an electronic equipment.

Abstract: A protective arrangement for a mobile device comprising a protective frame and a display arranged at a distance from each other. The display having a front display surface, a display side and a display edge between the front display surface and the display side, were the protective frame being adapted to deform, by means of a ledge and a ridge, when a shock force is applied to the protective frame. The ledge is positioned closer to the display compared to the ridge and the ledge is flush with or below the front display surface such that pinching of the display edge is eliminated when the protective frame is deformed.

Abstract: A portable communication device is equipped to search for content stored on a target electronic device. The portable communication device transfers user-defined content search query to an electronic device via a near-field communications (NFC) module. The portable communication device receives search results from the electronic device via the NFC module and indicates to the user that search results have been received from the electronic device. The portable communication device facilitates content searching and data transfer between two devices.

Abstract: An antenna system includes a substrate, a conductive ground plane, and an upper antenna element. A slot that is free of conductive material extends through the ground plane to define a lower antenna element from a portion of the ground plane. The upper antenna element is spaced apart and overlies at least a portion of the lower antenna element. The upper antenna element is electrically connected to the ground plane and to an antenna feed element. The upper antenna element is configured to electrically resonate responsive to a defined RF signal. The lower antenna element is configured to resonate through capacitive coupling to the resonating upper antenna element.

Abstract: An electronic communication device includes a RF wireless transmitter circuit that transmits a block of data to another communication device via RF signals transmitted at a first rate. A magnetically coupled receiver circuit receives a communication control signal from the other communication device via magnetic coupling thereto at a second rate which is less than the first rate, and is configured to respond to the communication control signal by selectively triggering the RF wireless transmitter circuit to transmit another block of data when available for transmission. An inductive charging circuit converts magnetic signals received from the other communication device into power, and supplies the power to the RF wireless transmitter circuit. The RF wireless transmitter circuit transmits data blocks in RF bursts.
