Abstract
A method for wirelessly charging and/or re-charging at least one sports object embedded with a battery and circuitry is provided. The method includes positioning the sports object proximate to a charging system, the charging system containing circuitry for wirelessly communicating with the sports object, whereby information is bi-directionally transferred by radio frequency and electric power is transferred to the sports object by induction. The sports object circuitry is adapted for determines a charging requirement of the power cell therein.
Claims9
A method for wirelessly charging and/or recharging at least one sports object, comprising:
- positioning a sports object embedded with a power cell and circuitry proximate to a charging system, said charging system containing circuitry for wirelessly communicating with said sports object, whereby information is bi-directionally transferred by radio frequency and electric power is transferred to the sports object by induction;
- said sports object circuitry adapted for determining a charging requirement of said power cell battery therein;
- and
- wherein said sports object circuitry is adapted for wirelessly communicating with a global positioning system for determining the global position of the sports object while wirelessly communicating with said charging system for charging said power cell.
A method for wirelessly charging and/or recharging at least one sports object, comprising:
- positioning a sports object embedded with a power cell and circuitry proximate to a charging system, said charging system containing circuitry for wirelessly communicating with said sports object, whereby information is bi-directionally transferred by radio frequency and electric power is transferred to the sports object by induction;
- said sports object circuitry adapted for determining a charging requirement of said power cell battery therein;
- and
- wherein said charging system is adapted to deactivate at least a portion of said circuitry in said sports object while wirelessly communicating with said sports object circuitry for charging said sports object.
