Systems and methods for wireless power distribution allocation
First Claim
1. A wireless power transmission unit (PTU) for providing wireless power charging signals to multiple wireless power receiving units (PRUs), the PTU comprising:
- a resonator to provide wireless power to first and second PRUs;
a communications radio for wirelessly communicating with the first and second PRUs;
wherein the PTU is toprovide charging power to the first PRU;
receive a request through the communications radio to provide charging power to the second PRU;
determine if the PTU has capacity to provide the requested charging power to the second PRU in addition to the current charging power of the first PRU;
if the PTU does not have the capacity, adjust power being provided to the first PRU or provide less than the requested power to the second PRU so that the power may be provided to both the first and second PRUs.

Abstract
Systems and methods for power distribution allocation are provided. A system may establish a first wireless connection between the system and a first mobile device. The system may receive a first power request from the first mobile device, the first power request associated with a first minimum energy charge of the first mobile device, and may determine an available charging capacity of the charging system. The system may determine a first energy charge to provide wirelessly to the first mobile device, and may establish a second wireless connection with a second mobile device. The system may receive a second power request from the second mobile device, and may receive a first charge indicator from the first mobile device associated with a present charging status of the first mobile device. The system may determine a second energy charge to provide wirelessly to the second mobile device.

8. A non-transitory storage medium containing instructions, which when executed, cause performance of operations comprising:
-
providing charging power to a first power receiving unit (PRU); receiving a request through a communications radio to provide charging power to a second PRU; determining if a capacity to provide the requested charging power to the second PRU in addition to the current charging power of the first PRU is sufficient; if the capacity is not sufficient, adjusting power being provided to the first PRU or providing less than the requested power to the second PRU so that the power may be provided to both the first and second PRUs. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10)
