It means that this new system may charge multiple devices simultaneously with both wired as well as wireless connections.
Apple is currently focusing on short range wireless charging only because long range wireless charging is not feasible.
This method will link a single power adapter to various electronic devices in its proximity.
Charging to the electronic devices would occur both using wired as well as wireless medium.
Patents doesnt necessarily mean something solid.
Hence, nothing further can be suggested.
But this definitely tells that Apple is working hard on creating a wireless charging rig.
Lets see when Apple confirms this news officially.
