System and Method for Controlling Communication Between Wireless Power Transmitter Managers
First Claim
1. A system for providing simultaneous communication in a wireless power delivery network, comprising:
- a plurality of power transmitters communicatively coupled to at least one transmitter manager; and
at least one power receiver communicatively coupled to at least one user device;
wherein the at least one transmitter manager receives from the at least one user device a selection indicator indicative of at least one of signal strength or proximity of the at least one user device relative to ones of the plurality of power transmitters; and
wherein the transmission of controlled RF waves to produce a plurality of energy pockets by ones of the plurality of power transmitters to the at least one power receiver is controlled by the at least one transmitter manager in accordance with the selection indicator.

Abstract
A method for controlling communication between wireless power transmitter managers is disclosed. According to some aspects of this embodiment, wireless power transmission system may include one or more wireless power transmitter managers and one or more wireless power receivers for powering various customer devices. A WiFi connection may be established between wireless power transmitter managers to share information between system devices. Wireless power transmitter manager may need to fulfill two conditions to control power transfer over a customer device; customer device'"'"'s signal strength threshold has to be significantly greater than 50%, such as 55% or more of the signal strength measured by all other wireless power transmitter managers and has to remain significantly greater than 50% for a minimum amount of time.
