Intelligent wireless charging system
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- detecting, by one or more processors of a wireless charging hub, a presence of a device that has been placed on a pressure sensitive plate of the wireless charging hub;
determining, by the one or more processors, coordinates of a plurality of vertices of the device;
determining, by the one or more processors, an approximate location of a receiver of the device, wherein the approximate location includes a locus and an orientation;
identifying, by the one or more processors, a charging coil that is nearest to the receiver of the device, wherein the charging coil is one charging coil of a plurality of charging coils of the wireless charging hub; and
activating, by the one or more processors, the charging coil that is nearest to the receiver of the device.

Abstract
In some examples, a wireless charging system includes a pressure sensitive plate, a plurality of charging coils, and a base that includes one or more processors and logic instructions. The logic instructions are executable by the one or more processors to detect a device placed on the pressure sensitive plate, determine coordinates of a plurality of vertices of the device, determine an approximate location of a receiver of the device, identify one or more charging coils of the plurality of charging coils that are nearest to the receiver of the device, and activate the one or more charging coils that are nearest to the receiver of the device, without activating a remaining charging coils of the plurality of charging coils.
