Abstract
A wireless charger can determine a power requirement associated with operating at least a first device at a scheduled time. The wireless charger can determine a power emission level for the wireless charger based, at least in part, on the power requirement, such that the power emission level will provide sufficient wireless energy to satisfy the power requirement. The wireless charger can transmit wireless energy at the power emission level to cause the device to operate.
Claims20
A method performed by a wireless charger, the method comprising:
- determining a power requirement associated with operating at least a first device at a scheduled time;
- determining a power emission level for the wireless charger based, at least in part, on the power requirement;
- and
- transmitting wireless energy at the power emission level.
An apparatus for wireless charging, the apparatus comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- memory having instructions stored therein which, when executed by the processor, cause the apparatus to:
- determine a power requirement associated with operating at least a first device at a scheduled time,
- determine a power emission level for the wireless charger based, at least in part, on the power requirement;
- and
- transmit wireless energy at the power emission level.
A computer program product for wireless charging, the computer program product comprising:
- a computer readable storage medium having computer usable program code embodied therewith, the computer usable program code comprising a computer usable program code configured to:
- determine a power requirement associated with operating at least a first device at a scheduled time;
- determine a power emission level for the wireless charger based, at least in part, on the power requirement;
- and
- transmit wireless energy at the power emission level.
