LIGHT-BASED LOW POWER DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17815916 titled 'LIGHT-BASED LOW POWER DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a system and techniques for providing power to target devices in an environment. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:
- The system performs a device discovery procedure to find a target device in the environment.
- It obtains power requirement information for the target device.
- It determines the distance between a power providing component and the target device.
- Based on the distance, power requirement information, and the operation to be performed, it calculates the amount of power to transmit to the target device.
- It determines the direction from the power providing component to the target device.
- The system transmits the calculated power amount in the determined direction to provide power to the target device for performing the operation.
- It receives the operation result from the target device based on the operation performed.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Powering IoT devices: This system can be used to provide power to various IoT devices in an environment, enabling them to perform their intended operations.
- Wireless charging: The system can be utilized for wireless charging of devices, eliminating the need for physical connections and enabling convenient charging.
- Remote power delivery: It can be used to remotely provide power to devices in hard-to-reach or hazardous locations, reducing the need for manual intervention.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Limited power availability: The system addresses the problem of providing power to devices in environments where power sources may be limited or inaccessible.
- Distance limitations: It overcomes the limitations of distance between power sources and target devices by calculating the required power amount based on the distance.
- Flexibility and convenience: The system provides a flexible and convenient way to power devices without the need for physical connections or manual intervention.
Benefits of this technology:
- Increased efficiency: By providing power directly to target devices, the system eliminates the need for intermediate power sources, reducing power loss and increasing overall efficiency.
- Cost savings: The system reduces the need for complex wiring or infrastructure modifications, resulting in cost savings for power delivery.
- Enhanced scalability: It allows for the easy addition or removal of target devices without significant changes to the power infrastructure, enabling scalability in various environments.
Original Abstract Submitted
Systems and techniques are provided for providing power for target devices. For example, a process can include performing, at an environment infrastructure system, a device discovery procedure to discover a target device in an environment; obtaining power requirement information corresponding to the target device; obtaining a distance between a power providing component of the environment infrastructure system and the target device; determining a power amount to transmit to the target device based at least in part on the distance, the power requirement information, and an operation to be performed at the target device; determining a direction from the power providing component to the target device; transmitting the power amount in the direction to provide power to the target device for performing the operation; and receiving an operation result from the target device based on the operation.
