Abstract
The described technology provides a wireless charging network comprising wireless power transmitters and wireless power transmitter nodes distributed in various physically separate locations in a medical facility. The wireless power transmitters are configured to communicate with a controller and/or database to indicate when a medical device is near the wireless power transmitter. The wireless power transmitters or the wireless receivers also communicate with a controller and/or database to indicate charging status of the medical devices.
Claims19
A wireless charging network comprising:
- a first wireless power transmitter located at a first spatial location;
- a second wireless power transmitter located at a second spatial location physically separate from the first spatial location,
- wherein the first and second wireless power transmitters are configured to provide power to a receiver device when the receiver device is in proximity thereof;
- and
- a controller communicatively coupled to the first and second wireless power transmitters,
- wherein the controller is configured to receive a communication signal from the first or the second wireless power transmitter, wherein the communication signal indicates that the first or the second wireless power transmitter is enabled to provide power to the receiver device.
A method implemented on a wireless charging network for supplying power to moveable objects, the method comprising:
- supplying a first power, by a first wireless power transmitter located at a first spatial location, to a moveable object when the moveable object is proximate to the first wireless power transmitter;
- and,
- supplying a second power, by a second wireless power transmitter located at a second spatial location physically separate from the first spatial location, to the moveable object when the moveable object is proximate to the second wireless power transmitter.
A system comprising:
- a plurality of wireless power transmitters configured to provide wireless power to one or more moveable objects;
- and,
- a controller configured to receive a communication signal to indicate that a wireless power transmitter in the plurality of wireless power transmitters is enabled.
