Abstract

The presently disclosed subject matter aims to provide a wearable electronic device charging unit configured to be fastened onto a wearable electronic device strap attached to a wearable electronic device case, the wearable electronic device charging unit comprising: a power source; and, at least one attaching element coupled to the power source configured to attach the power source onto the wearable electronic device strap; wherein the power source is configured to be in an electrical communication with a rechargeable battery located within the wearable electronic device case so as to recharge the rechargeable battery without interfering with the operation of one or more power-consuming components located on the wearable electronic device case.

Claims (28)

1. A wearable electronic device charging unit configured to be fastened onto a wearable electronic device strap, attached to a wearable electronic device case, the wearable electronic device charging unit comprising:

a power source; and,

at least one securing element coupled to said power source configured to attach said power source onto said wearable electronic device strap, without being physically coupled to said wearable electronic device case via same strap medium;

wherein said power source is configured to be in an electrical communication with a rechargeable battery located within said wearable electronic device case so as to recharge said rechargeable battery, as said wearable electronic device is wrapped around a user's wrist, without interfering with the operation of one or more power-consuming components located on said wearable electronic device case.

2. The wearable electronic device charging unit of claim 1 , wherein said electrical communication is achieved through an electrical wire being in communication with said power source, configured to connect said power source to the rechargeable battery.

3. The wearable electronic device charging unit of claim 2 , wherein said connection of said power source to said rechargeable battery is formed at the bottom or side surfaces of said wearable electronic device case.

4. The wearable electronic device charging unit of claim 2 , wherein said wearable electronic device case includes at least one electrical connector at its bottom or side surfaces configured to enable said electrical wire to interact with said rechargeable battery located within said wearable electronic device case.

5. The wearable electronic device charging unit of claim 2 , wherein said electrical wire extends between said wearable electronic device charging unit and said rechargeable battery of said wearable electronic device case along the bottom surface of said wearable electronic device strap, without being visible, as said wearable electronic device is wrapped around a user's wrist.

6. The wearable electronic device charging unit of claim 1 , wherein said charge involves wireless charging.

7. The wearable electronic device charging unit of claim 6 , wherein said wireless charging is achieved using a wireless charger adapter containing an inductive coil directed to form an electrical induction through which the power source charges the rechargeable battery within the wearable electronic device case.

8. The wearable electronic device charging unit of claim 7 , wherein said wireless charger adapter includes one or more apertures positioned correspondingly to the location of said one or more power-consuming components.

9. The wearable electronic device charging unit of claim 7 , wherein the inductive coil is attached to the bottom surface of the wearable electronic device case element using a designated mechanical fitting which wraps the bottom surface of the wearable electronic device case, holding the inductive coil therebetween the surface of wearable electronic device case and the designated mechanical fitting.

10. A wearable electronic device charging unit configured to be fastened onto a wearable electronic device strap attached to a wearable electronic device case, without being physically coupled to said wearable electronic device case via same strap medium, the wearable electronic device charging unit comprising:

a power source configured to be in an electrical communication with a rechargeable battery located within said wearable electronic device case so as to recharge said rechargeable battery, as said wearable electronic device is wrapped around a user's wrist without interfering with the operation of one or more sensors located on said wearable electronic device case;

at least one securing element coupled to said power source configured to attach said power source onto said wearable electronic device strap; and, a processing circuitry configured to:

obtain information from said rechargeable battery located within said wearable electronic device case regarding its power level;

compare said information to a threshold; and,

based on the result of the comparison, initiate an electrical current transferring from said wearable electronic device charging unit to said rechargeable battery.

11. The wearable electronic device charging unit of claim 10 , wherein said electrical communication is achieved through an electrical wire being in communication with said power source configured to connect said power source to the rechargeable battery.

12. The wearable electronic device charging unit of claim 11 , wherein said connection of said power source to said rechargeable battery is formed at the bottom or side surfaces of said wearable electronic device case.

13. The wearable electronic device charging unit of claim 11 , wherein said wearable electronic device case includes at least one electrical connector at its bottom or side surfaces configured to enable said electrical wire to interact with said rechargeable battery located within said wearable electronic device case.

14. The wearable electronic device charging unit of claim 11 , wherein said electrical wire includes a designated plug at its distal end configured to interact with said at least one electrical connector.

15. The wearable electronic device charging unit of claim 11 , wherein said electrical wire extends between said wearable electronic device charging unit and said rechargeable battery of said wearable electronic device case along the bottom surface of said wearable electronic device strap, without being visible, as said wearable electronic device is wrapped around a user's wrist.

16. The wearable electronic device charging unit of claim 10 , wherein said power source further includes an indicator indicative of the state of said rechargeable battery.

17. The wearable electronic device charging unit of claim 10 , wherein said charge involves wireless charging.

18. The wearable electronic device charging unit of claim 17 , wherein said wireless charging is achieved using a wireless charger adapter containing an inductive coil directed to form an electrical induction through which the power source charges the rechargeable battery within the wearable electronic device case.

19. The wearable electronic device charging unit of claim 18 , wherein the inductive coil is attached to the bottom surface of the wearable electronic device case element using a designated mechanical fitting which wraps the bottom surface of the wearable electronic device case, holding the inductive coil therebetween the surface of wearable electronic device case and the designated mechanical fitting.

20. The wearable electronic device charging unit of claim 18 , wherein said wireless charger adapter includes one or more apertures positioned correspondingly to the location of said one or more power-consuming components.
