WIRELESS POWER SUPPLY FOR LOGISTIC SERVICES
First Claim
1. A method for a wireless power supply for logistic services, comprising:
- connecting a pocket-forming transmitter with at least two antennas to a power source;
generating power RF signals from a RF circuit connected to the transmitter to form pockets of energy;
controlling the generated power RF signals with a controller through the RF circuit to provide phase shifting and gain adjusting with respect to other power RF signals or short RF communication signals;
transmitting the power RF and short RF communication signals through the antennas connected to the transmitter;
capturing the pockets of energy in a receiver with an antenna connected to an electronic logistic device to convert the pockets of energy into a DC voltage for charging or powering the electronic logistic device; and
communicating power requirements of the electronic logistics device and the receiver location information between the pocket-forming transmitter and receiver through the short RF signals.

Abstract
The present disclosure may provide an electric transmitter which may be used to provide wireless power transmission (WPT) while using suitable WPT techniques such as pocket-forming. Transmitter may operate as power source for electronic devices used in logistic devices such as, postal services, storage services, shipping services, pizza delivery and the like. Such logistics services may use wired power sources, which are not versatile because immobilize electronic devices while receive charge. In some embodiments, transmitters may include one or more antennas connected to at least one radio frequency integrated circuit (RFIC) and one microcontroller. In other embodiments, transmitters may include a plurality of antennas, a plurality of RFIC or a plurality of controllers. In addition, transmitters may include communications components which may allow for communication to various electronic equipment including phones, computers, GPS and others.
