SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR COMBINED WIRELESS POWER CHARGING AND NETWORK PAIRING
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a first network member comprising;
a first channel configured as a charging channel, the first channel configured to at least one of wirelessly receive or transmit power, the first channel also configured to transmit network pairing information for at least one of pairing or un-pairing the first network member and a second network member, the network pairing information transmitted over the first channel at a first frequency; and
a second channel configured as an operational channel, the second channel configured to communicate operational information between the first and second network members when the first and second network members are paired, the operational information transmitted over the second channel at a second frequency that is different than the first frequency.

Abstract
A system includes a first network member that includes a first channel and a second channel. The first channel is configured as a charging channel and is configured to at least one of wirelessly receive or transmit power. The first channel is also configured to transmit network pairing information for at least one of pairing or un-pairing the first network member and a second network member. The network pairing information is transmitted over the first channel at a first frequency. The second channel is configured as an operational channel, and is configured to communicate operational information between the first and second network members when the first and second network members are paired. The operational information is transmitted over the second channel at a second frequency that is different than the first frequency.

9. A tangible and non-transitory computer readable medium comprising one or more computer software modules configured to direct one or more processors to:
-
identify, at a module of a network coordinator, a node for one of pairing or un-pairing to the network coordinator; communicate network pairing information with the node via a first channel, the network pairing information configured to at least one of pair or un-pair the network coordinator and the node, the first channel configured to wirelessly transmit power from the network coordinator to the node, the network pairing information transmitted via the first channel at a first frequency; and
,communicate operational information with the node via a second channel when the network coordinator and the node are paired, the operational information transmitted via the second channel at a second frequency that is different than the first frequency. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13)
