1. A base station for providing inductive transfer of energy to a mobile device comprising:
- a base unit comprising a first inductive transmitter coil and a second inductive transmitter coil, the first inductive transmitter coil configured to provide a first quantity of inductive power by at least generating a first electromagnetic field in response to an electrical charge being applied to the inductive transmitter coil, and the second inductive transmitter coil configured to provide a second quantity of inductive power by at least generating a second electromagnetic field in response to the electric charge being applied to the second inductive transmitter coil; and
an adapter separate from the base unit, the adapter comprising an inductive charging circuitry for activating, based at least on a power requirement of a load at the mobile device, the first inductive transmitter coil instead of the second inductive transmitter coil, the activation comprising a transmission of the electric charge to the first inductive transmitter coil instead of the second inductive transmitter coil.

Abstract
A base station for providing inductive transfer of energy to a mobile device that includes a base unit having an inductive transmitter coil configured to generate an electromagnetic field in response to an electrical charge being applied to the inductive transmitter coil with an adapter separate from the base unit. The adapter can include an inductive charging circuitry for controlling the current transmitted through the inductive transmitter coil.

10. A method comprising:
-
receiving, at an adaptor separate from a base unit, a direct current electrical charge, the base unit comprising a first inductive transmitter coil and a second inductive transmitter coil, the first inductive transmitter coil configured to provide a first quantity of inductive power, and the second inductive transmitter coil configured to provide a second quantity of inductive power; receiving, from a mobile device and at the base unit, a signal requesting power, the mobile device being adjacent to the base unit; and activating, by the adapter, the first inductive transmitter coil instead of the second inductive transmitter coil, the activation based at least on a power requirement of a load at the mobile device, the activation comprising a conversion, by the adapter, of the direct current electrical charge to an alternating electrical charge and a transmission of the alternating electric current from the adapter to the first inductive transmitter coil. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12)
