Abstract
Certain exemplary embodiments can cause an electronic device to charge or be remotely powered via a device. The device comprises multiple software enabled wireless transceivers. The device is constructed to: identify an electronic device in proximity to the device's wireless AdHoc Meshed Network; automatically add, hand off or remove the electronic device to/across/from the network; and automatically determine a charge or remote power level of the electronic device.
Claims15
A wireless multi point power charger system comprising:
- one or more electronic devices, each comprising a corresponding power receiver, and each communicatively coupled to a wireless power delivery system through an ad hoc meshed wireless electrical power grid local area network;
- the wireless power delivery system comprising a plurality of multipoint power chargers, each:
- communicatively coupleable to another through the communication network;
- coupled to an electric power source;
- and
- comprising a controller coupled to a multi directional antenna array, configured to emit and steer a plurality of wireless directional Rf energy beams in any of a plurality of directions;
- the wireless power delivery system configured to:
- detect a presence of each electronic device present within a three dimensional space proximate to one or more of the multipoint power chargers via the ad hoc meshed wireless electrical power grid local area network;
- determine a location of the electronic device in the three dimensional space independent of any action by the electronic device via the ad hoc meshed wireless electrical power grid local area network;
- repeatedly update a location of each electronic device present;
- and
- wherein each of the multipoint power chargers and electronic devices present is assigned an identifier and becomes a node of the ad hoc meshed wireless electrical power grid local area network;
- the wireless power delivery system further configured to receive a request for power from the electronic device through the ad hoc meshed wireless electrical power grid local area network;
- and, based on an electronic device power requirements communicated through the ad hoc meshed wireless electrical power grid local area network, one or more of the multipoint power chargers are configured to produce a plurality of different phase shifted Rf energy beams and direct the plurality of different Rf energy beams to the determined location of the requesting electronic device, wherein each of the plurality of different Rf energy beams are receivable by the power receiver of the electronic device to charge the electronic device;
- wherein the wireless power delivery system is configured to select a multipoint power charger based on delivering an optimum power to the electronic device, and configured to dynamically adjust the power of the directional Rf energy beam based on the location of the electronic device.
