Portable personal electronic devices and wireless headphones typically come equipped with rechargeable battery technology such that a user need not replace their batteries when they become discharged. Such battery technology can be recharged using battery chargers, such as, for example, wall outlet chargers and portable charging devices. However, such portable charging devices are typically cumbersome, are limited to charging single devices and/or include a cable connecting the portable personal electronic device and the portable charging device. Therefore, a need exists for implementing a non-cumbersome and versatile recharging device.
Illustrative embodiments of the invention provide a portability device configured to perform portable recharging of an electronic device and of wireless headphones.
According to an embodiment, an electronic device includes a housing, a male connector disposed on the housing, and a battery in the housing and electrically connected to the male connector. At least one cavity is formed in the housing, wherein a portion of the cavity includes a contact electrically connected to the battery. The male connector is configured for connecting to a second electronic device, and the at least one cavity is configured for receiving an in-ear wireless headphone. The battery is configured for simultaneously charging the second electronic device and the in-ear wireless headphone when the second electronic device is connected to the electronic device via the male connector, and the in-ear wireless headphone is positioned in the cavity.
The male connector can comprise, for example, a male micro-USB connector, a male USB-mini connector, a male USB-C connector, or a male lightning connector.
