Abstract:
Techniques for facilitating wireless charging are discussed herein. For example, a power-consuming device may receive a light beam from a charging device. In response, the power-consuming device may determine a power level of a battery associated with the power-consuming device. The power-consuming device may wirelessly signal the power level to the charging device. In some instances, the power-consuming device may determine the power level of the battery without drawing power from the battery. Further, in some instances the power-consuming device may receive another light beam to charge the battery.
