WIRELESS TRACKING POCKET-FORMING
First Claim
1. A method for wireless power transmission to a portable electronic device, comprising:
- connecting a receiver to the electronic device;
developing pockets of energy from a pocket-forming transmitter;
transmitting wirelessly the pockets of energy to the receiver for charging and powering the electronic device; and
tracking a living being or an object from signals communicated between the receiver and the transmitter.

Abstract
The present disclosure describes a wireless tracking system for tracking the location of living beings or objects. This wireless tracking system may operate by using the wireless power transmission methodology which may include one transmitter and at least one or more receivers, being the transmitter the source of energy and the receiver the device that is desired to charge or power. Receivers and transmitters may include communications components to communicate between each other. Communication components may utilize wireless protocols which may have a unique identifier. The unique identifier may allow mapping, store and uploading information of devices a database located in public or private cloud-based service. A user may be able to access to information stored in database using user credentials, being able to access from any suitable device and place. Other elements may be adapted to wireless tracking system for obtaining more complete information about living beings or objects.
