Wireless power distribution and control system

In a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having stored therein data representing instructions executable by a programmed processor for connecting with and establishing control in a wireless power distribution network, the storage medium comprising instructions operative for:

• identifying the wireless power distribution network;
• receiving, as part of a wireless power connection, an indication of other devices coupled with the wireless power distribution network;
• establishing access controls for each of the other devices, wherein the access controls comprise features of the other devices that can be controlled;
• and
• controlling the other devices depending on the access controls.

A method for establishing control over devices in different wireless power distribution networks comprising:

• receiving, at a controller device, an indication of a wireless power distribution network within proximity of the controller device;
• automatically receiving a listing of available power supplies and other devices within the indicated wireless power distribution network;
• accessing commands for at least some of the available power supplies and for at least some of the other devices;
• and
• controlling, when granted access, at least some of the available power supplies or the other devices based on the granted access with the controller device.

A method for allowing control over a wireless power distribution network comprising:

• identifying devices connected with the wireless power distribution network, wherein the network is configured to wirelessly provide power to the connected devices through one or more power supplies;
• determining access control restrictions for the connected devices;
• providing a list of the connected devices and command codes for certain devices to those devices whose access control restrictions allow for control over other devices;
• and
• receiving the command codes from those devices for controlling the other devices.
