1. A method comprising:
- receiving, at a power receiver, a first ping message and a second ping message, wherein the first ping message is received from a secondary coil at the power receiver;
detecting, at the power receiver, a first time between transmissions of the first ping message and the second ping message; and
decoding, at the power receiver, the first time into a data value representative of a transmitted data value sent by a power transmitter.

6. A method comprising:
-
receiving, by a power transmitter, a data value; encoding, by the power transmitter, the received data value into a first time between transmissions of a first ping message and a second ping message; and sending, by the power transmitter, the first ping message and the second ping message according to the encoded first time between transmissions; wherein the sending of the second ping message is delayed until the first time to encode the data value. - View Dependent Claims (7)
