Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a case for a mobile device capable of activating a wireless charging function. The case for a mobile device according to the present disclosure includes a cover unit mounted on a mobile device to protect the mobile device, a first power source attaching part provided in the cover unit and attached to and detached from a power source device configured to wirelessly charge the mobile device, and a wireless charge activation part configured to perform charging of a battery of the mobile device when the power source device is recognized as being close to the mobile device.

Claims (14)

1. A case for a mobile device comprising:

a cover unit mounted on a mobile device to protect the mobile device;

a first power source attaching part provided in the cover unit, and attached to and detached from a power source device configured to wirelessly charge the mobile device;

a wireless charge activation part configured to perform charging of a battery of the mobile device when the power source device is recognized as being close to the mobile device; and

a battery unit including a charging part detachably attached to the cover unit at a rear of the cover unit, and configured to supply power to wirelessly charge the mobile device, an induction coil part transferring the power from the charging part to the mobile device so that the mobile device is wirelessly chargeable, and a second power source attaching part coupled to the first power source attaching part to be attached to the cover unit wherein:

the cover unit includes an inner cover main body formed in a shape corresponding to the mobile device to surround a back surface portion of the mobile device and an outer cover main body formed in a shape corresponding to the inner cover main body to surround the inner cover main body; and

the first power source attaching part is formed to be located between the inner cover main body and the outer cover main body.

2. The case for a mobile device of claim 1 , wherein the cover unit is made of polycarbonate (PC), polyurethane (PU), silicon, or a composite material including the above.

3. The case for a mobile device of claim 1 , wherein the first power source attaching part and the second power source attaching part are provided at locations corresponding to each other in the cover unit and the battery unit, and one or both of the first power source attaching part and the second power source attaching part is formed of a magnet for magnetic coupling or a metal material coupled to the magnet.

4. The case for a mobile device of claim 1 , wherein the battery unit includes a battery main body having a predetermined inner space so that the charging part is accommodated therein and a coil mounting plate coupled to a front of the battery main body exposed to the cover unit and provided with the induction coil part and the second power source attaching part.

5. The case for a mobile device of claim 4 , wherein the battery main body is provided with a light emitting lamp turned on through a charging power source of the charging part and a lighting button configured to turn the light emitting lamp on and off.

6. The case for a mobile device of claim 5 , wherein:

a substrate part configured to mount the light emitting lamp is embedded in the battery main body; and

the second power source attaching part formed on the coil mounting plate is positioned so as not to overlap the substrate part and the induction coil part so as not to affect driving of the substrate part and the induction coil part.
