METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR WIRELESSLY RECEIVING POWER
First Claim
1. A method for a receiving device to wirelessly receive electric power from a transmitting device, the method comprising the steps of:
- configuring, at the receiving device, a power capacity based on a default power capacity known by both the receiving device and the transmitting device;
reading a first value of a dependent parameter associated with the electric power, wherein the dependent parameter varies in accordance with an independent parameter adjustable by the transmitting device;
reading a second value of the dependent parameter;
identifying a maximum power capacity of the transmitting device based on at least the first and second values and a predetermined threshold; and
receiving the electric power from the transmitting device.

Abstract
Method and apparatus for a receiving device to wirelessly receive electric power from a transmitting device. A power capacity is configured at the receiving device, based on a default power capacity known by both the receiving device and the transmitting device. A first value of a dependent parameter is read. The dependent parameter is associated with the electric power and varies in accordance with an independent parameter adjustable by the transmitting device. A second value of the dependent parameter is then read. A maximum power capacity of the transmitting device is identified based on at least the first and second values and a predetermined threshold. The electric power is then received from the transmitting device.
