Claims15
A system for wirelessly transmitting power, comprising:
- (a) a receiver;
- and
- (b) a power transmitting device for wirelessly transmitting power to the receiver, wherein the power transmitting device comprises:
- (i) a transmitter layer;
- (ii) a sensor layer provided on or over the transmitter layer;
- and
- (iii) a cover layer provided on or over the sensor layer.
A power transmitting device for wirelessly transmitting power to a power receiving device, the power transmitting device comprising:
- (i) a transmitter layer;
- (ii) a sensor layer provided on or over the transmitter layer;
- and
- (iii) a cover layer provided on or over the sensor layer.
The method for wirelessly charging one or more power receiving devices, the method comprising the steps of:
- (a) allowing a user or users to place one or more power receiving devices on a surface of a power transmitting device;
- (b) allowing sensors of the power transmitting device to convert mechanical pressure generated by the power receiving device or devices to an electrical signal or signals;
- (d) scanning corresponding locations of the sensors by sending analog ping signals;
- (e) determining whether the power transmitting device receives a response or responses from the power receiving device or devices in a pre-determined time period;
- and
- (f) transmitting power to the power receiving device or devices in response to the determination that the power transmitting device receives a response or responses from the power receiving device or devices in the pre-determined time period.
