Transfer priority for a wireless transfer station
First Claim
1. A wireless transfer station operable to wirelessly provide energy to other wireless transfer stations, the wireless transfer station having computer circuitry configured to:
- receive a wireless energy transfer request from each of a plurality of the other wireless transfer stations, each wireless energy transfer request including energy transfer priority criteria, including an operating temperature of the corresponding other wireless transfer station;
prioritize transferring wireless energy to the plurality of other wireless transfer stations based on the energy transfer priority criteria; and
provide wireless energy to at least one of the plurality of other wireless transfer stations based on the prioritization.

Abstract
A technology for a wireless transfer station that is operable to wirelessly provide energy to other wireless transfer stations. A wireless transfer request can be received from one or more of the other wireless transfer stations to receive wireless energy from the wireless transfer station. A transferring of wireless energy to the one or more of the other wireless transfer stations can be prioritized using selected energy transfer priority criteria. Wireless energy can be provided to the one or more of the other wireless transfer stations based on the prioritization.
