1. A method comprising:
- receiving wireless RF signals via an antenna of a wireless electronic device;
selectively switching, by the wireless electronic device, a switching mode between a power reception mode and a data communication mode; and
adaptively selecting distribution of received RF signal electrical charge to one of a first circuit, a second circuit, and the first circuit and the second circuit of the wireless electronic device based on one of the switching mode, strength of the RF signal, and the switching mode and the strength of the RF signal, and wherein upon the RF signal being greater than a selected threshold based on sensitivity of the second circuit, an RF splitter distributes received energy between the first circuit and the second circuit.

Abstract
A method and system of integrated wireless power and data transmission in a wireless device having a data communication circuit for wireless data communication and a power reception circuit including a charge storage unit. The wireless device is tuned to receive wireless RF signals in a certain frequency band via an antenna. Switching between power reception mode and data communication mode is detected. Received RF signal electrical charge is selectively distributed to the power reception circuit and/or the data communication circuit based on the switching mode and/or strength of the RF signal.
