Adaptive inductive power supply with communication

摘要

A method for supplying power from an inductive power supply to a remote device, said method comprising:
receiving, in the inductive power supply, power usage information from the remote device;
determining whether the inductive power supply can be configured to adequately power the remote device based on the power usage information;
adjusting power consumption characteristics of the remote device in response to a determination that power cannot be adequately supplied to the remote device; and
configuring the inductive power supply to supply power based on the received power usage information.
