Systems and Methods for Device and Power Receiver Pairing
First Claim
1. A method for pairing a plurality of user devices and a plurality of transmitters in a wireless power network, comprising:
- communicating through at least one user interface resident on ones of the user devices with at least one of the plurality of transmitters capable via provided controlled radio frequency waves that produce a plurality of energy pockets;
providing to a database associated with the at least one of a plurality of network transmitters information regarding the ones of the user devices; and
uniquely pairing the ones of the user devices with ones of the at least one of a plurality of network transmitters in accordance with the user device information and in order to receive, at the paired ones of the user devices, energy provided by the energy pockets.
