A method of docking an accessory device includes, at the accessory device, receiving a first transmission energy for wireless charging from an electronic device; in accordance with receiving the first transmission energy: setting a timer, and entering a docked mode; and exiting the docked mode upon expiration of the timer.

Systems and methods for wireless charger docking

A method of docking an accessory device includes, at the accessory device, receiving () a first transmission energy for wireless charging from an electronic device; in accordance with receiving the first transmission energy: setting () a timer, and entering () a docked mode; and exiting () the docked mode upon expiration of the timer.

A method of adapting the charging of an accessory device includes transmitting a first transmission signal at a first transmission amplitude, measuring a receiving load of the first transmission signal, and if the charging device does not receive a response signal to the first transmission signal, transmitting a second transmission signal at a second transmission amplitude that is different from the first transmission amplitude.

A charging system for a peripheral device, such as a stylus, including orientation control. The charging system includes charging circuitry and magnets. The magnets are configured so that they attract the peripheral device to an engagement surface when it is in a first orientation relative to the engagement surface so that charging circuitry in a peripheral device portion couples with charging circuitry in a charger portion. The magnets are configured so that they also repel and rotate the peripheral device when it is in a second orientation relative to the engagement surface.
