Systems and Methods for Tracking the Status and Usage Information of a Wireless Power Transmission System
First Claim
1. A processor-based system for managing a power system comprising at least one power transmitter, configured to generate pocket-forming energy in three dimensional space to at least one receiver for charging, the processor-based system comprising:
- a processor;
a database operatively coupled to the processor; and
communications, operatively coupled to the processor, wherein the communications is operable to communicate with a network,wherein the processor is configured to receive system operation data from the at least one power transmitter via the network, wherein the system operation data comprises at least one of power transmitter status and power transmitter usage.

Abstract
Disclosed here are methods and systems to generate and distribute information about the status and usage of a wireless power transmission system. Specifically, the present disclosure may describe a process to generate information through various software running in different components of the wireless power transmission system. Additionally, the disclosure may also include a wireless power transmission system architecture which may include components, such as a remote information service, a remote information service manager, a remote information service database, one or more authorized computing devices, and a plurality of system information generators. System information generator may refer to components, such as wireless power transmitters, computing devices/non computing devices (coupled with power receiver devices), a system management service, and distributed system database. The aforementioned components within the wireless power transmission system may be used to automatically and autonomously generate, store, transmit, and distribute system status, usage, and statistics or metrics information in order to be edited or reported by authorized and authenticated users. The information may also be used to increase the accuracy of strategic marketing, sales focus, to alert customer service of system problems and performance issues, and for billing end users.
