Embodiments of the present disclosure describe systems, methods, apparatuses for wirelessly charging handheld and consumer electronics in wireless power delivery environments. In some embodiments, techniques are described for retrofitting wireless power receivers into existing devices e.g., through wirelessly powered battery apparatuses. For example, the apparatuses discussed herein allow any device that accepts standard form factor batteries to be transformed into a wirelessly powered device. The wirelessly rechargeable battery apparatuses can be applied to any battery form factor including custom or semi-custom battery form factors for mobile phones, laptops, tablet computers, etc. Advantageously, among other benefits, the apparatuses discussed herein overcome the product integration challenges discussed above.

Wirelessly chargeable battery apparatus

Embodiments of the present disclosure describe techniques for reducing human exposure to wireless energy in wireless power delivery environments. In some embodiments, a wireless power reception apparatus configured to receive wireless power from a wireless charging system in a wireless power delivery environment is disclosed. The wireless power reception apparatus includes a control system and an antenna array. In some embodiments, the control system is configured to dynamically adjust transmission and reception radiation patterns of the antenna array to reduce human exposure to wireless radio frequency (RF) energy.

Techniques for reducing human exposure to wireless energy in wireless power delivery environments

Embodiments of the present disclosure describe various techniques for integrating wireless power facilities or functionality into an existing object or device via embedded or deposited surface antennas. More specifically, the techniques described herein provide for the ability to embed and/or otherwise deposit spatially-arrayed adaptively-phased antennas on the surface of an existing object or device such that the antennas are exposed to air and/or otherwise lacking significant interference. In some embodiments, a wireless power control system is operatively coupled to the antennas to independently control phases of the phased of the antennas in a wireless power delivery environment.

Embedded or deposited surface antennas for integrated wireless power facilities

The disclosed technology relates to antenna configurations for wireless power transmission and supplemental visual signals. In some implementations, the disclosed technology includes a wireless power transmitter with boards that have multiple antennas physically coupled to the board. In some implementations, the antennas boards are arranged in a polygonal configuration (e.g., star shape). Additionally, in some implementations, the antennas can have different polarization configurations.

Antenna configurations for wireless power and communication, and supplemental visual signals

Embodiments of the present disclosure describe removably attachable portable device apparatuses with integrated wireless power receiving facilities (also referred to as wireless power reception apparatuses herein). In some embodiments, a wireless power reception apparatus for a portable electronic device is described. The wireless power reception apparatus can include a housing, one or more antennas, and a wireless power receiver. The housing is configured to be removably attachable to the portable electronic device. The one or more antennas are situated on or within the housing and are configured to receive wireless power from a wireless charging (or wireless power transmission) system. The wireless power receiver is disposed within the housing and is configured to process the wireless power received via the one or more antennas and provide the received power to the portable electronic device via a power interface port.
