Abstract
Body-worn wireless electronic devices may be powered by one or more wireless power sources. These wireless power sources may comprise body-worn wireless power sources and non body-worn wireless power sources. The sources are detected by the electronic device and are either prioritized based on being body-worn or non body-worn. The selection of sources for powering the electronic device(s) may alternatively be made based on predetermined parameters associated with the power sources. Optimal power transfer is thus obtained for the electronic devices while being worn.
