POSITIONING AID FOR WIRELESS ENERGY TRANSFER
First Claim
1. A wirelessly powered device, comprising:
- a device positioning aid processor configured to;
place at least one component into a high electrical current consumption mode; and
determine, based on placing the at least one component into a high electrical current consumption mode, an amount of electrical current induced in a receiving coil adapted to inductively couple to a transmission coil external to the wirelessly powered device; and
an indicator, communicatively coupled to the device positioning aid processor, configured to provide, based on a determination of the amount of electrical current, an indication corresponding to the amount of electrical current.

Abstract
A wirelessly powered device and operating method to aid in locating the device in relation to an energy transmitter. A device positioning aid processor places at least one component into a high electrical current consumption mode and determines, based on placing the at least one component into a high electrical current consumption mode, an amount of electrical current induced in a receiving coil that is adapted to inductively couple to a transmission coil external to the wirelessly powered device. An indicator, which is communicatively coupled to the device positioning aid processor, is configured to provide, in response to a determination of the amount of electrical current, an indication corresponding to the amount of electrical current.
