Wireless Power Systems With Frequency-Shift-Keying Communications - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17883401 titled 'Wireless Power Systems With Frequency-Shift-Keying Communications

Simplified Explanation

Abstract

A wireless power system consists of a transmitting device and a receiving device that communicate using in-band communication. The transmitting device uses frequency-shift keying (FSK) modulation to transmit data to the receiving device. The receiving device does not know the transmission rate of the FSK data. A FSK decoder is used to determine the actual transmission rate and decode the wireless power signals into subsequent bits using this rate.

Patent/Innovation Explanation

  • Wireless power system with transmitting and receiving devices
  • In-band communication between the devices
  • Transmitting device uses frequency-shift keying (FSK) modulation to send data
  • Receiving device does not know the transmission rate of the FSK data
  • FSK decoder identifies the actual transmission rate and decodes the wireless power signals into subsequent bits using this rate

Potential Applications

  • Wireless charging systems for various devices (e.g., smartphones, wearables, electric vehicles)
  • Internet of Things (IoT) devices that require wireless power transfer
  • Medical devices that need wireless power transmission for implantable or wearable applications

Problems Solved

  • Lack of knowledge about the transmission rate of FSK data in wireless power systems
  • Difficulty in decoding wireless power signals without knowing the transmission rate
  • Inefficient communication between transmitting and receiving devices in wireless power systems

Benefits

  • Improved efficiency and accuracy in wireless power transmission
  • Seamless communication between transmitting and receiving devices
  • Simplified setup and operation of wireless power systems


Original Abstract Submitted

A wireless power system has a wireless power transmitting device and a wireless power receiving device. The devices in the wireless power system may communicate using in-band communication. The wireless power transmitting device may transmit data to the wireless power receiving device using frequency-shift keying (FSK) modulation. The receiving device may not be aware of the transmission rate of the FSK data. The FSK decoder may identify an actual transmission rate of the incoming bits and decode the wireless power signals into subsequent bits using the actual transmission rate.
