Systems and Methods for Wireless Charging
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a transmitter;
a receiver coupled to the transmitter via a wireless resonant coupling link, wherein the transmitter is configured to provide electrical energy to the receiver via the wireless resonant coupling link;
a controller comprising at least one processor and a memory, wherein the processor executes instructions stored in the memory so as to carry out operations, the operations comprising;
identifying the receiver;
identifying the transmitter;
determining a real-time per-unit offer corresponding to the receiver;
determining a real-time per-unit request corresponding to the transmitter;
determining a real-time per-unit match based on the offer and the request; and
in response to determining the match, causing the transmitter to provide electrical energy to the receiver via the wireless resonant coupling link.

Abstract
Systems and methods described herein may relate to wireless energy transfer between a transmitter and a receiver via resonant coupling. In example embodiments, a method includes identifying a receiver in a wireless power transmission system and identifying a transmitter in the wireless power transmission system. The method also includes determining a real-time per-unit offer corresponding to the identified receiver and determining a real-time per-unit request corresponding to the identified transmitter. The method yet further includes determining a real-time per-unit match based on the offer and the request. The method further includes, in response to determining the match, causing the transmitter to provide electrical energy to the receiver via a wireless resonant coupling link.
