System and Method for Controlling Communication Between Wireless Power Transmitter Managers
First Claim
1. A system for providing simultaneous communication in a wireless power delivery network, comprising:
- a plurality of power transmitters communicatively coupled to at least one transmitter manager; and
at least one power receiver communicatively coupled to at least one user device;
wherein the at least one transmitter manager receives from the at least one user device a selection indicator indicative of at least one of signal strength or proximity of the at least one user device relative to ones of the plurality of power transmitters; and
wherein the transmission of controlled power transmission signals to produce a plurality of pockets of energy by ones of the plurality of power transmitters to the at least one power receiver is controlled by the at least one transmitter manager in accordance with the selection indicator.

Abstract
The embodiments described herein include a transmitter that transmits a power transmission signal (e.g., radio frequency (RF) signal waves) to create a three-dimensional pocket of energy. At least one receiver can be connected to or integrated into electronic devices and receive power from the pocket of energy. A wireless power network may include a plurality of wireless power transmitters each with an embedded wireless power transmitter manager, including a wireless power manager application. The wireless power network may include a plurality of client devices with wireless power receivers. Wireless power receivers may include a power receiver application configured to communicate with the wireless power manager application. The wireless power manager application may include a device database where information about the wireless power network may be stored.
