Abstract: A magnetic alignment assembly can be incorporated into an electronic device to facilitate alignment with another device. The magnetic alignment assembly can include a main magnet (e.g., a square or rectangular magnet) having a magnetic dipole in an axial direction and a ring magnet coaxial with the main magnet. The ring magnet can be smaller than the main magnet. The ring magnet can be positioned between the main magnet and an interface surface.

Abstract: A magnetic alignment system can include a primary annular magnetic alignment component and a secondary annular magnetic alignment component. The primary alignment component can include an inner annular region having a first magnetic orientation, an outer annular region having a second magnetic orientation opposite to the first magnetic orientation, and a non-magnetized central annular region disposed between the primary inner annular region and the primary outer annular region. The secondary alignment component can have a magnetic orientation with a radial component. Additional features, such as a rotational magnetic alignment component and/or an NFC coil and circuitry can be included.
