Patent Images
1. A system for charging a remote device rechargeable power source comprising:
- a remote device including the remote device rechargeable power source and a remote device transceiver;
a contactless power supply having a primary and a CPS transceiver; and
an adapter removably connectable to the remote device and including a secondary, a power regulator to supply power to the remote device rechargeable power source, an adapter rechargeable power source for powering the adapter, a first adapter transceiver to establish a first two-way communication link with the remote device transceiver, and a second adapter transceiver to establish a second two-way communication link with the CPS transceiver, the first two-way communication link and the second two-way communication link providing a serial two-way communication path between the remote device and the contactless power supply.

Abstract
An adapter allows a remote device to use a contactless power supply. The adapter has a contactless power interface for receiving power from a contactless power supply and a power regulator for supplying power to the remote device. The adapter may have a rechargeable power source for operating the adapter and a power regulator.
