Managing power distribution
First Claim
1. A method for managing power distribution by a wireless power distribution base station, comprising:
- receiving a request from a device to connect to a wireless power distribution base station;
determining whether a low battery condition exists for the device and also delivering power wirelessly for a limited duration to the device upon determining that the low battery condition exists for the device until the device is authenticated;
authenticating the device;
determining a lease period during which time power is to be delivered wirelessly to the device in response to authenticating the device;
delivering power wirelessly from the wireless power distribution base station to the device for the duration of the lease period, but subsequent to the lease period, discontinuing delivery of power wirelessly to the device, wherein delivering power to the device is discontinued before expiration of the lease period upon determining one of a battery of the device reaches a full charge and the device disconnects from the wireless power distribution base station.
