==CHARGING SYSTEMS FOR PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICES WITHIN ENCLOSED ENVIRONMENTS - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240106278 titled 'CHARGING SYSTEMS FOR PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICES WITHIN ENCLOSED ENVIRONMENTS

==Simplified Explanation==

The abstract describes a technology for spatial modeling of enclosed environments to guide wireless charging beams to portable electronic devices within the space. This is achieved using mapping sensors like ultra-wideband sensors to create a spatial model and locate occupants, enabling the charging beams to avoid obstacles and people.

* Mapping sensors, such as ultra-wideband sensors, are used to create a spatial model of enclosed environments.
* The spatial model helps determine the location of occupants within the space.
* Charging beams are guided based on the spatial model to avoid obstacles and occupants that could block the wireless charging beam.

== Potential Applications ==
The technology can be applied in various settings such as homes, offices, public spaces, and transportation vehicles to wirelessly charge electronic devices while ensuring safety and efficiency.

== Problems Solved ==
1. Avoiding obstacles and occupants within enclosed spaces that could block wireless charging beams.
2. Efficiently guiding charging beams to portable electronic devices within the space.

== Benefits ==
1. Convenient wireless charging of electronic devices without the need for physical connections.
2. Enhanced safety by avoiding obstacles and people in the path of charging beams.

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
"Wireless Charging Beam Guidance Technology for Enclosed Environments" can be utilized in smart homes, offices, airports, and public transportation systems to provide seamless and safe wireless charging solutions.

== Possible Prior Art ==
There may be prior art related to wireless charging technologies, spatial modeling, and obstacle avoidance systems in various industries.

=== Unanswered Questions ===

=== How does the technology handle dynamic environments where obstacles or occupants may move around frequently? ===
The technology may incorporate real-time tracking and updating of the spatial model to adapt to changes in the environment.

=== What is the range and accuracy of the mapping sensors used in creating the spatial model? ===
The range and accuracy of the mapping sensors may impact the effectiveness of guiding charging beams within the enclosed space.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

implementations of the subject technology described herein provide for spatial modeling of enclosed environments for guiding charging beams wirelessly to portable electronic devices within the enclosed environment. for example, a mapping sensor, such as an ultra-wideband (uwb) sensor may be used to generate a spatial model of the enclosed space and/or to determine the location of one or more occupants within the enclosed space. the charging beams can be guided based on the spatial model to avoid objects and/or occupants within the enclosed space that would otherwise block the wireless charging beam.
