11. At least one computer readable storage medium comprising instructions that when executed enable a mobile platform to:
-
after a wireless communication circuit of the mobile platform is powered on responsive to wireless receipt of energy via a first wireless channel from a power transmitting unit in proximity to the mobile platform, send an advertisement packet via a second wireless channel coupled between the mobile platform and the power transmitting unit; and execute an authentication protocol with the power transmitting unit via the first wireless channel and the second wireless channel, to enable the power transmitting unit to authenticate the mobile platform, wherein responsive to successful authentication of the mobile platform, the power transmitting unit is to inform a service provider regarding the successful authentication. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)
