Laptop computer as a transmitter for wireless sound charging

摘要

Configurations and methods of wireless sound power transmission using a laptop computer may include a transmitter and/or a receiver embedded in the laptop screen. The embedded transmitter may emit SW waves for the generation of pockets of energy that may be utilized by receivers in peripheral devices for charging or powering. Meanwhile, the receiver embedded in the laptop computer may collect SW waves from a separate transmitter for charging or powering the laptop computer.

主权项

1. A method for wireless power transmission to an electronic device from a computer system, comprising the steps of:
transmitting power sound waves from a first pocket-forming transmitter having a radio frequency integrated circuit, transducer elements, a microprocessor and communication circuitry thereby generating pockets of energy having sound waves that converge in three-dimensional space at predetermined locations, wherein the first pocket-forming transmitter is embedded in a screen display of the computer system; converting the pockets of energy from the first pocket-forming transmitter to by a first receiver to power the electronic device, wherein the first receiver has sensor elements and communication circuitry integrated within the electronic device, wherein the computer system includes a second receiver whereby a second pocket-forming transmitter in proximity to the computer system powers the computer system while the first pocket-forming transmitter of the computer system wirelessly charges the electronic device; upon a communication between the computer system and the second transmitter that is within a predetermined charging range of the computer system, verifying a battery charge level of the computer system; charging, by the second receiver, the computer system; and identifying peripheral devices within a predetermined range of the first pocket-forming transmitter for wirelessly charging the peripheral devices.
