Abstract
Techniques for establishing RF power connections with wireless power transmission systems in multi-wireless power transmission system environments are described herein. More specifically, the techniques describe a method for establishing a connection with an optimal wireless power transmission system when multiple wireless power transmission systems are within range.
Claims20
A method of operating a wireless power receiver apparatus to establish a connection with a wireless power transmission system in a wireless power delivery environment, the method comprising:
- receiving a connection invitation transmitted by a first wireless power transmission system of multiple wireless power transmission systems in the wireless power delivery environment;
- processing the connection invitation to identify attributes associated with the first wireless power transmission system;
- applying selection criteria to the attributes associated with the first wireless power transmission system and attributes associated with other wireless power transmission systems of the multiple wireless power transmission systems in the wireless power delivery environment to determine whether to accept the connection invitation.
A computer readable storage medium having program instructions stored thereon which, when executed by one or more processors of a wireless power receiver apparatus, cause the wireless power receiver apparatus to:
- process a connection invitation request transmitted by a first wireless power transmission system of multiple wireless power transmission systems in the wireless power delivery environment to identify attributes associated with the first wireless power transmission system;
- and
- apply selection criteria to the attributes associated with the first wireless power transmission system and attributes associated with other wireless power transmission systems of the multiple wireless power transmission systems in the wireless power delivery environment to determine whether to accept the connection invitation.
A wireless power receiver apparatus comprising:
- one or more radio frequency (RF) transceivers;
- control circuitry configured to direct the one or more RF transceivers to establish a connection with a first wireless power transmission system of multiple wireless power transmission systems in a wireless power delivery environment, the control circuitry including:
- listen mode reception logic configured to receive, via the one or more RF transceivers, a connection invitation transmitted by the first wireless power transmission system and responsive process the connection invitation to identify attributes associated with the first wireless power transmission system;
- wireless power transmission selection logic configured to apply selection criteria to the attributes associated with the first wireless power transmission system and attributes associated with other wireless power transmission systems of the multiple wireless power transmission systems in the wireless power delivery environment to determine whether to accept the connection invitation, wherein the selection criteria indicates one or more threshold values for each attribute.
