WIRELESS POWER TRANSFER SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240258835 titled 'WIRELESS POWER TRANSFER SYSTEM

The abstract describes a wireless power transfer system that includes a supply device on a road and a vehicle with a power reception device that receives power from the supply device and wirelessly transfers it to the vehicle. The supply device consists of a primary coil and a first short-range wireless communication device to communicate with the vehicle. The vehicle includes a secondary coil and a second short-range wireless communication device to communicate with the supply device. The first communication device is located on the rear side of the vehicle in the traveling direction with respect to the primary coil, while the second communication device is located on the front side of the vehicle in the traveling direction with respect to the secondary coil.
