Systems and methods for smart wireless charging
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- establishing, by a charging system comprising one or more processors, a first wireless connection with a first mobile device, wherein the first mobile device is a first mobile device type that has a first charge capacity;
receiving, by the charging system, a first charge request from the first mobile device, the first charge request comprising first mobile device information, wherein the mobile device information comprises a first mobile device identifier;
identifying, by the charging system, one or more charging system policies based at least in part on the first charge request, wherein the one or more charging system policies comprise instructions to charge the first mobile device and a second mobile device of a second mobile device type that has a second charge capacity;
determining, by the charging system, an available charging capacity of the charging system, wherein the available charging capacity is a total amount of power available to be allocated to charge the first mobile device to the first charge capacity or the second mobile device to the second charge capacity;
determining, by the charging system, a first charge program for the first mobile device based at least in part on the first charge request and the one or more charging system policies, wherein the first charge program comprises a power allocation of the first mobile device with respect to other mobile devices connected to the charging system; and
wirelessly charging, by the charging system, the first mobile device, based at least in part on the first charge program, and the available charging capacity of the charging system.

Abstract
Systems and methods for power distribution allocation are provided. A system may establish a first wireless connection between the system and a first mobile device. The system may receive a first charge request from the first mobile device comprising first mobile device information, and may identify charging system policies based at least in part on the first charge request. The system may determine a first charge program for the first mobile device based at least in part on the first charge request and the one or more charging system policies, where the first charge program comprises a power allocation of the first mobile device with respect to other mobile devices connected to the charging system. The system may wirelessly charge the first mobile device, based at least in part on the first charge program.
