Communication Between Devices in a Wireless Charging System - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18342444 Titled 'Communication Between Devices in a Wireless Charging System'
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a wireless power system that consists of devices that can transmit and receive power wirelessly. These devices can also exchange data using different types of communication methods. The devices in the system have unique addresses that allow them to communicate with each other, even if they are not directly connected. The communication packets can be relayed through other devices in the system to establish a connection between two devices.
Original Abstract Submitted
A wireless power system may include wireless power transmitting devices, wireless power receiving devices, and wireless power transmitting and receiving devices. The devices in the wireless power system may exchange packets in order to transfer various types of data. The data may be transmitted using in-band communication (e.g., amplitude-shift keying modulation or frequency-shift keying modulation). The devices may use locally assigned addresses to communicate with any other device in the wireless power system. Even if a first device is not inductively coupled to a second device, the locally assigned addresses may identify an inductive coupling path from the first device to the second device that includes at least one intervening device. The first device may therefore communicate with the second device using in-band communication packets that are relayed by at least one intervening device.
