SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR WIRELESSLY CHARGING ELECTRONIC DEVICES
First Claim
1. A powering system for electronic devices, the system comprising:
- a database comprising subscription information for a plurality of network users;
an electromagnetic energy source;
a communication hub colocated with the electromagnetic energy source and operable to establish a communication link with an electronic device of a first of the network users; and
a network element communicatively coupled to the communication hub through a communication network to receive subscription information from the electronic device via the communication hub, wherein the network element is further operable to access the database to verify the subscription information of the first user, and to direct the electromagnetic energy source to radiate towards the electronic device to power to the electronic device upon verification of the subscription information of the first user.
