Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to systems, methods, and computer readable media containing instructions for causing simultaneous triggering and sequential reading of a plurality of tags. In one implementation, the instructions may include displaying an activatable element on a graphical user interface for activating a 2.4 GHz transmitter. The instructions may also include activating the transmitter to cause each of a plurality of tags to send a unique tag ID to a receiver. The instructions may also include reading a first group of tag IDs during a first time interval; recording first information associated with the first group; maintaining activation of the transmitter to cause transmission of at least some of the tag IDs of the first group along with the unique tag IDs of a second group of tag IDs to the receiver; and recording second information associated with the second group.

An electronic device includes a first housing structure including a first surface and a second surface facing in a direction opposite to the first surface, and a second housing structure including a third surface and a fourth surface facing in a direction opposite to the third surface. The second housing structure is rotatable relative to the first housing structure. The electronic device also includes a display and a control circuit. The first housing is provided with a first wireless charger configured to perform a wireless charging function in relation to a first external electronic device, and the second housing is provided with a second wireless charger configured to perform a wireless charging function in relation to a second external electronic device. The second wireless charger is located to face the first wireless charger when the first housing structure and the second housing structure are folded to face each other.

Systems and methods for ensuring that resonant inductive power transfer goes only to authorized users using encryption. Resonant inductive power transfer requires near-identical resonant frequencies in the transmitter and the receiver. The frequency of the power transfer signal changes on a schedule known only to the transmitter and receiver so a power eavesdropper cannot track the frequency well enough to efficiently receive power. To make the frequency transitions energetically efficient, a capacitive or inductive element is switched in or out of each circuit at moments of zero-crossing: zero charge on a capacitor or zero current in an inductor. To maintain phase alignment, either switching an inductor on the transmit side is nearly simultaneous with switching a capacitor on the receive side, or switching a capacitor on the transmit side is nearly simultaneous with switching an inductor on the receive side.
