Abstract

Certain exemplary embodiments can cause an electronic device to charge or be remotely powered via a device. The device comprises a wireless transceiver. The device is constructed to: identify an electronic device in proximity to the device; automatically add, hand off or remove the electronic device to/across/from the network; and automatically determine a charge or remote power level of the electronic device.

Claims (7)

1. A wireless multi point power charger system comprising:

at least one multipoint power charger that is coupled to an electric power source, each multipoint power charger comprising a system controller coupled to an information device, a multidirectional antenna array; and at least one wireless electrical energy receiver coupled to a corresponding electronic device configured to receive wireless electrical energy from the multipoint power charger system; wherein the wireless electrical energy receiver is connected to the system controller and to at least one other wireless electrical energy receiver via a meshed ad-hoc network comprising a cellular network and the internet provided by the electronic device, and the wireless electrical energy receiver is not directly connected to the system controller via a local area network;

the multipoint power charger configured to convert electrical energy from the electric power source into wireless electrical energy, and emit the wireless electrical energy as a plurality of directional electromagnetic energy beams via the multidirectional antenna array, at least one of the plurality of directional electromagnetic energy beams directed to a location of the wireless electrical energy receiver and controlled by the system controller;

wherein the information device is configured to determine the location of each wireless electrical energy receiver at least in-part by location information provided by each of the plurality of wireless electrical energy receivers present, via the meshed ad-hoc network,

the wireless multi point power charger system further comprising one or more external remote systems comprising one or more computing devices comprising one or more data servers coupled to at least one database comprising electronic device information, which is in electronic communication with the system controller via a wide area network comprising the internet; and

wherein the system controller provides instructions comprising data provided by the one or more external remote systems, to the wireless electrical energy receiver via the meshed ad-hoc network to allow the wireless electrical energy receiver to receive the directional electromagnetic energy beams and charge the battery of the electronic device.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more computing devices of the external remote systems comprises one or more data servers coupled to at least one database comprising user information.
