System diagnostics and health monitoring for wireless power delivery systems
First Claim
1. A method of operating a cloud-based processing system to monitor system health of wireless power delivery environments, the method comprising:
- collecting, by the cloud-based processing system, diagnostic data from the wireless power delivery environments, wherein each wireless power delivery environment includes one or more wireless power transmission systems;
responsive to detecting a system error in a portion of the diagnostic data associated with a first wireless power transmission system, timestamping the portion of the diagnostic data;
analyzing the portion of the diagnostic data to identify a pattern of events leading to the system error;
determining if the system error occurs consistently as a result of the pattern of events;
correlating the pattern of events with the system error when the error occurs consistently as a result of the pattern of events;
identifying a solution to the system error;
generating and persistently storing an error profile that associates the correlated pattern of events, the system error, and the solution to the system error; and
providing the error profile to the first wireless power transmission system for automatically applying the solution to repair the system error,wherein applying the solution includes adjusting a power transmission schedule.

Abstract
Techniques are described herein for collecting and utilizing diagnostic information for advanced monitoring of wireless power delivery systems. Wireless power transmission systems and/or cloud processing systems accumulate significant volumes of data related to wireless devices, usage patterns, power delivery efficiency and system components. This data can be utilized to generate efficient and sophisticated power transmission schedules. Additionally, as discussed herein, the diagnostic information can be leveraged for advanced system diagnostics and health monitoring. Among other features, the diagnostic and health monitoring system can detect patterns and correlate events that lead to system errors or failures. In some embodiments, the diagnostic and health monitoring system can also provide error notification and/or automatic error correction.
