DUAL MODE WIRELESS POWER
First Claim
1. A dual mode wireless power module for a device comprises:
- a wireless transceiver operable to;
communicate peripheral power information indicating a wireless power configuration; and
a wireless power transceiver circuit operable to;
determine, based upon the power information, a power status of another device identified by the peripheral power information,when the power status of the another device is favorable, the wireless power transceiver circuit is placed in a wireless power receive mode, wherein the wireless power transceiver circuit converts received wireless power into a voltage; and
when the power status of the another device is unfavorable, the wireless power transceiver circuit is placed in a wireless power transmit mode, wherein the wireless power transceiver circuit converts a power source of the device into wireless power for transmission.

Abstract
A dual mode wireless power module for a device includes a wireless transceiver and a wireless power transceiver circuit. The wireless transceiver circuit is operable to communicate peripheral power information indicating a wireless power configuration. The wireless power transceiver circuit is operable to determine, based upon the power information, a power status of another device identified by the peripheral power information. When the power status of the another device is favorable, the wireless power transceiver circuit is placed in a wireless power receive mode in which the wireless power transceiver circuit converts wireless power into a voltage. When the power status of the another device is unfavorable, the wireless power transceiver circuit is placed in a wireless power transmit mode in which the wireless power transceiver circuit converts a power source of the device into the wireless power.
