1. A method for reducing interference in an inductive charging system, the method comprising:
- determining whether a chargeable device communicates with at least one inductive charging protocol employed by an inductive charger;
inductively charging the chargeable device with the inductive charger;
detecting a mode of operation of a potential interfering device in proximity to the inductive charger; and
adjusting at least one of a frequency band employed by the charger and an amount of power provided to the chargeable device by the charger based on the detected mode of operation and consideration of the at least one inductive charging protocol.
