Abstract:
A wireless status indicator for a wireless power transfer system includes an object configured to wirelessly generate power responsive to a magnetic flux field of a wireless power transmitter and to generate a status indication of the wireless power transfer system. A wireless power transfer system comprises a wireless power status indicator configured to wirelessly generate power responsive to a wireless power signal and to generate a status indication of the wireless power transfer system. A related method includes generating power by a wireless status indicator and generating a status indication responsive to a wireless power signal. The wireless status indicator is a separate stand-alone device than a wireless power transmitter and wireless power receiver involved in the wireless power transfer. The status indication corresponds to a state of wireless power transfer.
Abstract:
A wireless power transmitter may include a transmit coil configured to generate a wireless power signal for wireless power transfer, at least one secondary sensing coil configured to generate a signal responsive to a magnetic flux field generated during the wireless power transfer, and control logic configured to detect at least one condition of a wireless power transfer system responsive to detecting distortion in the magnetic flux field from the at least one signal received from the secondary sensing coil. A related method may include generating with a wireless power transmitter a wireless power signal, generating with a plurality of secondary sensing coils one or more signals responsive to a magnetic flux field generated during the wireless power transfer, and detecting at least one condition of a wireless power transfer system responsive to the one or more signals generated by the plurality of secondary sensing coils.
