WIRELESS POWER RECEIVER AND HOST CONTROL INTERFACE THEREOF
First Claim
1. A wireless power receiver configured to receive power from a wireless power outlet and to communicate with a host for providing electrical power thereto, said wireless power receiver comprising:
- a secondary coil configured to receive power from a primary coil associated with said wireless power outlet; and
a host control interface configured to facilitate communication between said wireless power receiver and said host;
wherein said host control interface comprises;
one or more information-carrying contacts configured to conduct at least one of a clock signal or a data signal between said wireless power receiver and the host;
a supply input contact and a power supply ground contact configured to cooperate to provide power between said wireless power receiver and the host;
an interrupt-signal contact configured to carry an INTERRUPT signal from said wireless power receiver and the host; and
an enable-signal contact configured to carry an ENABLE signal from said host to the wireless power receiver.

Abstract
A wireless power receiver, configured to receive power from a wireless power outlet and to communicate with a host for providing electrical power thereto, is provided comprising a secondary inductive coil configured to receive power from a primary coil of the wireless power outlet, and a host control interface configured to facilitate communication between the wireless power receiver and the host. The host control interface comprises contacts, one or more information-carrying contacts configured to conduct at least one of a clock and a data signal between the wireless power receiver and the host, supply input and power supply ground contacts configured to cooperate to provide current between the wireless power receiver and the host, an interrupt-signal contact configured to carry an INTERRUPT signal from the wireless power receiver and the host, and an enable-signal contact configured to carry an ENABLE signal from the host to the wireless power receiver.
