Abstract
A wireless charging relay, a system, and a method are provided. The wireless charging relay includes processing circuitry. The circuitry is configured to receive power wirelessly. The received power is energy harvested from at least two different input wireless power sources. The circuitry is further configured to convert the received power to an output wireless power. The type of the output wireless power is different from the received power. The wireless charging relay transmits the output wireless power.
Claims20
A wireless charging relay comprising:
- processing circuitry configured to
- receive a first type of power wirelessly from a first input wireless power source, the first type of power comprising one of laser, light, radio frequency, induction, inductive resonance, or audio;
- receive a second type of power wirelessly from a second input wireless power source different from the first input wireless power source, the second type of power comprising one of laser, light, radio frequency, induction, inductive resonance, or audio and the second type of power being different from the first type of power,
- convert the power received from the first and second input wireless power sources to an output wireless power, wherein a third type of power of the output wireless power is different from the first and second types of power and the third type of power comprises one of laser, light, radio frequency, induction, inductive resonance, or audio, and
- transmit the output wireless power wirelessly to another device.
