System and method for operating a mobile device
First Claim
1. A mobile device including:
- a power receiver for wirelessly coupling with a power transmitter to receive power wirelessly from the power transmitter;
a function that automatically initiates upon the power receiver wirelessly coupling with the power transmitter, the function further configured to cause the mobile device to provide promotional information of a product offered by a target business to a user; and
a positioning module to determine a location of the mobile device, where the product can be delivered within a predetermined proximity to the location of the mobile device.

Abstract
The present invention provides a mobile device including: a power receiver for wirelessly coupling with a power transmitter to receive power wirelessly from the power transmitter; and a function that automatically initiates upon the power receiver wirelessly coupling with the power transmitter. Also provided is a transmitter apparatus including a power transmitter for wirelessly coupling with a power receiver in a mobile device to provide power wirelessly to the power receiver, wherein, upon the power receiver wirelessly coupling with the power transmitter, data is transferred between the power transmitter and the power receiver and a function of the mobile device automatically initiates. The mobile device and transmitter apparatus together form a system for operating the mobile device. Methods and computer-readable media storing executable application programs associated with the system are also provided.
