Wireless power distribution system

A system for wireless transmission of power over a field of view to at least one receiver, said system comprising:

• at least one transmitter, configured to emit, after detection of said at least one receiver in its field of view, a beam providing a first minimal energy allotment for reception by said at least one receiver, and, following receipt of a response from said at least one receiver, the beam providing a second amount of energy to said at least one receiver, said at least one transmitter configured to receive data contained in a data beam generated and transmitted from said at least one receiver, said data comprising at least one of (i) an ID and (ii) power requirements of said receiver,
• wherein, when any of said receivers are in a sleeping mode, said first minimal energy allotment emitted by said transmitter is configured to wake up said at least one receiver, causing said at least one receiver to respond with said data beam generation and transmission to said at least one transmitter, such that said at least one receiver does not require use of stored receiver energy prior to receiving said first minimal energy allotment, and
• wherein said at least one transmitter is configured to perform one of (a) denying power transmission to said at least one receiver and (b) causing said at least one transmitter to direct said beam conveying said second amount of energy to said at least one receiver, based on said at least one of (i) the ID and (ii) power requirements received by said at least one transmitter from said at least one receiver.
