Systems and methods for a configuration web service to provide configuration of a wireless power transmitter within a wireless power transmission system
First Claim
1. A method of configuring a wireless power transmitter, the method comprising:
- while transmitting, by a plurality of antennas of the wireless power transmitter, a first plurality of wireless power waves to a receiver that uses energy from the first plurality of wireless power waves to power or charge an electronic device that is coupled with the receiver, wherein the first plurality of wireless power waves is transmitted using a first set of transmission features;
receiving a request from an operator of the wireless power transmitter for accessing a configuration web page that allows the operator to configure the wireless power transmitter;
in response to receiving the request, providing, by a web service executed at the wireless power transmitter, information used to present the configuration web page; and
receiving, via the web service executed at the wireless power transmitter, one or more user-configurable operational parameters based on instructions provided by the operator on the configuration web page, the one or more user-configurable operational parameters including information used to configure operation of the wireless power transmitter;
configuring, by one or more processors of the wireless power transmitter, the wireless power transmitter based upon the one or more user-configurable operational parameters; and
while the wireless power transmitter is configured based upon the one or more user-configurable operational parameters, transmitting, by the plurality of antennas of the transmitter, a second plurality of wireless power waves using a second set of transmission features, distinct from the first set of transmission features, to the receiver, wherein the second plurality of wireless power waves forms a constructive interference pattern proximate to the receiver.

Abstract
A system and method for a configuration web service to provide configuration of a wireless power transmitter within a wireless power transmission system is disclosed. The wireless power transmitter configuration network may include at least one wireless power transmitter connected to an energy power source and at least one computer device which may communicate with each other through wireless or wired network connections, where each wireless power transmitter may include a distributed system database coupled to web service software. The operator/user may browse the specific URL or IP address associated with the configuration web page, which the wireless power transmitter may host and render, to specify the wireless power transmitter'"'"'s configuration information. The configuration web service may allow users to perform configurations with and without the need of an external network service in range and regardless of the physical location of the wireless power transmitter.

11. A wireless power transmitter, comprising:
-
a plurality of antennas configured to transmit wireless power waves; one or more processors; and memory storing executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the wireless power transmitter to; while transmitting, by a plurality of antennas of the wireless power transmitter, a first plurality of wireless power waves to a receiver that uses energy from the first plurality of wireless power waves to power or charge an electronic device that is coupled with the receiver, wherein the first plurality of wireless power waves is transmitted using a first set of transmission features; receive a request from an operator of the wireless power transmitter for accessing a configuration web page that allows the operator to configure the wireless power transmitter; in response to receiving the request, provide, by a web service executed at the wireless power transmitter, information used to present the configuration web page; and receive, via the web service executed at the wireless power transmitter, one or more user-configurable operational parameters based on instructions provided by the operator on the configuration web page, the one or more user-configurable operational parameters including information used to configure operation of the wireless power transmitter; configure, by the one or more processors, the wireless power transmitter based upon the one or more user-configurable operational parameters; and while the wireless power transmitter is configured based upon the one or more user-configurable operational parameters, transmit, by the plurality of antennas of the transmitter, a second plurality of wireless power waves using a second set of transmission features, distinct from the first set of transmission features, to the receiver, wherein the second plurality of wireless power waves forms a constructive interference pattern proximate to the receiver. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
