Abstract
A device with a sensor to detect a location of a portable device within proximity of the device and a controller to identify an amount of power to transmit to the portable device and reposition a directional antenna to transmit to the portable device an identified amount of power over a wireless signal based on the location of the portable device.
Claims20
A method for transmitting power to a portable device comprising:
- detecting a location of a portable device within proximity of a device with a sensor;
- identifying an amount of power to transmit to the portable device;
- and
- repositioning a directional antenna of the device based on the location of the portable device and transmitting an identified amount of power over a wireless signal to the portable device.
