Wearable accessory device charging
One embodiment provides a method, including: detecting, at a wireless charger integrated into an electronic device, a connection of a wearable accessory device, wherein the wireless charger is positioned proximate to a probable user contact position; and transmitting, using the wireless charger and during a period when the connection is established, a charge to the wearable accessory device; wherein the wearable accessory device is worn by a user during the connection. Other aspects are described and claimed.
1. A method, comprising:
detecting, at a wireless charger integrated into a mouse, a connection of a wearable accessory device, wherein the wireless charger is disposed within a movable portion of the mouse movable between at least two positions for positioning proximate to a probable user contact position; and
transmitting, using the wireless charger and during a period when the connection is established, a charge to the wearable accessory device;
wherein the wearable accessory device is worn by a user during the connection.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the wireless charger is an inductive charger utilizing the Qi standard.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the mouse is a mouse pad.
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising providing a notification to a user responsive to identifying that the wearable accessory device is fully charged.
5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the notification is selected from the group consisting of a haptic notification, an audible notification, and a visual notification.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the probable user contact position corresponds to an optimal charging portion and wherein the mouse comprises a magnetic portion configured to secure the wearable accessory device to the optimal charging portion.
7. A mouse, comprising:
a wireless charger integrated into the mouse, wherein the wireless charger is disposed within a movable portion of the mouse movable between at least two positions for positioning proximate to a probable user contact position;
a processor;
a memory device that stores instructions executable by the processor to:
detect a connection of a wearable accessory device to the wireless charger; and
transmit, using the wireless charger and during a period the connection is established, a charge to the wearable accessory device;
wherein the wearable accessory device is worn by a user during the connection.
8. The mouse of claim 7 , wherein the wireless charger is an inductive charger utilizing the Qi standard.
9. The mouse of claim 7 , wherein the mouse is a mouse pad.
10. The mouse of claim 7 , wherein the instructions are further executable by the processor to provide a notification to a user responsive to identifying that the wearable accessory device is fully charged.
11. The mouse of claim 7 , wherein the probable user contact position corresponds to an optimal charging portion and wherein the mouse comprises a magnetic portion configured to secure the wearable device to the optimal charging portion.
12. A method, comprising:
detecting, using at least one sensor of a mouse, an input from a user touch at a position on a surface of the mouse, wherein a wireless charger is disposed within a movable portion of the mouse movable between at least two positions for positioning proximate to a probable user contact position;
determining, using a processor, whether the position corresponds to a wireless charging position; and
transmitting, responsive to determining that the position corresponds to the wireless charging position and using the wireless charger positioned within the mouse proximate to the wireless charging position, a charge to one or more proximate electronic devices.
