TRANSFERRING POWER TO A MOBILE DEVICE
First Claim
1. A method for transferring power to a receptor mobile device from a donor mobile device having a battery, comprising;
- configuring a donor wireless power transfer mechanism on the donor mobile device using a wireless transmit application;
configuring a receptor wireless power transfer mechanism on the receptor mobile device using a wireless receive application;
transferring power from donor mobile device to the receptor mobile device using the donor wireless power transfer mechanism and the receptor wireless power transfer mechanism;
receiving and converting received power into electric current using the receptor wireless power transfer mechanism;
providing, by the donor wireless transfer mechanism, an electric current to a primary coil, the primary coil further providing electric current to a secondary coil in the receptor wireless transfer mechanism through a magnetic field; and
storing an electric charge in a capacitor included in the receptor wireless power transfer mechanism thereby increasing battery life when the capacitor is discharged.
