1. A method comprising:
- in a device including a wireless power transfer device and a routing mechanism, wherein the device is configured to be operatively coupled to a network drive, performing;
receiving, wirelessly, from a wireless device, an indication of a power receiving state of the wireless device and determining whether the power receiving state of the wireless device is at or below a threshold; and
in response to the power receiving state being at or below the threshold, transmitting a portion of available power of the power transfer device to the wireless device,wherein, while the device is operatively coupled to the network drive, the routing mechanism enables access by the wireless device to the network drive via wireless communication between the wireless device and the routing mechanism during wireless power transfer to the wireless device.
