Abstract

See full text

In an embodiment, an electronic device may comprise a wireless element and a pair of magnetic connectors. The magnetic connectors may be spaced apart from one another and may be in fixed relation to the wireless element. The pair of magnetic connectors may be configured to self-align with, and interconnect with, a complementary pair of magnetic connectors of another electronic device and to thereby align the wireless element with a complementary wireless element of the other electronic device for ultra short range wireless interaction between the electronic devices via the aligned wireless elements. The wireless elements may for example be antennas, coils, or electric induction couplers. The wireless interaction may for example be wireless communication or wireless power transfer. The magnetic connectors may incorporate cylindrical magnets. In an embodiment, the electronic device may have only one magnetic connector.
