Variable mode wireless power supply systems
First Claim
1. A wireless power supply system comprising:
- a remote device capable of receiving wireless power, said remote device including a display load;
a point of display wireless power supply including a point of display controller programmed with a demonstration mode having a point of display control methodology that controls said display load of said remote device; and
a point of use wireless power supply including a point of use controller programmed with a use mode having a point of use control methodology that controls said remote device differently than said point of display wireless power supply;
wherein said remote device includes circuitry for selectively enabling said point of display control methodology and said point of use control methodology.

Abstract
The present invention provides a wireless power supply system in which a remote device is provided with different control methodologies depending on one or more factors. One type of wireless power supply can selectively control one or more remote devices according to a first control methodology and another type of wireless power supply can control the remote device according to a second control methodology. In one embodiment, a wireless power supply system is provided for wirelessly powering a display circuit in a product located at a point of display differently than when charging at a point of use, or when the device is in use. In another embodiment, a wireless power supply is programmed to operate a remote device according to a primary control methodology and the remote device is programmed to operate the remote device according to a secondary control methodology where the remote device includes circuitry for enabling the primary control methodology instead of the secondary control methodology.
