SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PREVENTION OF WIRELESS CHARGING CROSS CONNECTION
First Claim
1. A wireless charger for wirelessly charging a chargeable device, the wireless charger comprising:
- a wireless power transmitter configured to generate a wireless charging field in at least one charging region;
a transceiver configured to communicate with the chargeable device; and
a controller configured to facilitate avoidance of cross connection of the chargeable device with the wireless charger and at least one other wireless charger by initiating a disconnection of a communication link between the wireless charger and the chargeable device based at least in part on a comparison of a detected transmitted power level of the wireless charger to at least one predetermined level indicative of at least one saturation condition.
