Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses for communicating across an inductive charging interface. Methods and apparatuses for improved efficiency of power transfer across an inductive charging interface.
Abstract:
An adapter for connecting an accessory to a portable electronic device includes a first connector compatible with a connector of the portable electronic device and a second connector compatible with a connector of the accessory. The connectors of the accessory and the portable electronic device are otherwise incompatible with each other. The adapter provides two levels of authentication. First, the adapter authenticates itself to the portable electronic device. If this first authentication is successful, then the adapter authenticates the accessory to the adapter.

Methods and apparatuses for communicating across an inductive charging interface. Methods and apparatuses for improved efficiency of power transfer across an inductive charging interface.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to apparatuses, systems, methods, and computer readable media that can facilitate the transfer of power between at least two electrical devices. At least one of the electrical devices is preferably a battery operated device. The present invention may also be used to facilitate the transfer of information among electrical devices. For example, the present invention may be used to automatically pair two Bluetooth devices together.
