In vehicle inductive power provision system and method
First Claim
1. A vehicle induction power assembly for transferring electrical power inductively to an electrical device comprising:
- an inductive power transfer system configured to provide the electrical power to the electrical device, anda communications security system configured to establish a secure communications channel between said inductive power transfer system and the electrical device,wherein upon activating said inductive power transfer system, said communications security system initiates a handshaking procedure between said inductive power transfer system and the electrical device, whereupon if said handshaking procedure is successful, said communications security system instructs said inductive power transfer system to commence providing the electrical power to the electrical device, wherein the vehicle induction power assembly further comprises a transponder coupled to a vehicle communications notification device and a vehicle service provider for facilitating payment of vehicle usage fees, said vehicle service provider being selected from the group consisting of a parking lot fee provider, a vehicle road toll provider, and any combination thereof.

Abstract
A vehicle inductive power assembly and method for transferring electrical power inductively to an electrical device, in a motorized vehicle. The system includes an inductive power transfer system which is configured to provide the electrical power to the electrical device as well as a communications security system which is configured to establish a secure communications channel between the inductive power transfer system and the electrical device. Following activation of the inductive power transfer system, the communications security system initiates a handshaking procedure between the inductive power transfer system and the electrical device. If the handshaking procedure is successful the communications security system instructs the inductive power transfer system to commence providing the electrical power to the electrical device.
