Integrated contactless connectivity platform for portable electronic devices
First Claim
1. A system for delivering wireless power and associated services to portable electronic devices comprising:
- a plurality of links, each link including one or more transmitters adapted to wirelessly transmit electric power and one or more transmitters/receivers adapted to wirelessly transmit and receive audio-visual data and associated control data, wherein the plurality of links are adapted to interconnect in series such that electric power and audio-visual data and associated control data are transmitted between connected links;
a master control unit including a controller adapted to control the delivery of electric power through the interconnected links and control the delivery of selected audio-visual data from the links to a central audio-visual adaptor;
one or more wireless audio-visual adaptors, each wireless audio-visual adaptor including an adaptor for connecting to an audio-visual port of a portable electronic device and a transmitter/receiver adapted to wirelessly transmit audio-visual data and associated control data to the links; and
one or more wireless power adaptors each wireless power adaptor including an adaptor for connecting to a power input port of a portable electronic device and a receiver adapted to wirelessly receive power;
wherein the master control unit selectively controls delivery of one or more audio-visual signals between the portable electronic devices connected to the plurality of links and between each portable electronic device and an audio-visual display device.
