One example discloses a charging system, including: a charging device configured to be coupled to a device to be charged; wherein the charging device includes a set of hardware defined charging attributes; wherein the charging device is configured to reconfigure the hardware defined charging attributes based on a specific charging protocol received from the device to be charged; and wherein the charging device is configured to output charging power to the device to be charged as defined by the specific charging protocol.

Charging system and method

Embodiments of an apparatus are disclosed. In an embodiment, a power receiver unit is disclosed. The power receiver unit includes a power pick-up unit, a communication modulator, and a filter. The power pick-up unit receives a wireless power signal. The communication modulator applies a modulation to the received wireless power signal. The filter suppresses a load signal from a load of the wireless charge receiver to prevent interference with the modulation.

Wireless charger receiver-side communication interference elimination

A method for authorizing a service is disclosed. In the embodiment, the method involves receiving a packet carried via a first power signal according to an inductive wireless power transfer communications protocol, the packet received at a power receiver within a mobile device, extracting a password from the received packet, storing the extracted password in memory within the mobile device, transmitting the stored password in a packet via a second power signal according to the inductive wireless transfer communications protocol to authorize a service.

Method and system for in-band password management for inductive wireless charging

A method for performing foreign object detection in an inductive wireless power transfer system is disclosed. In the embodiment, the method involves obtaining measurements from a base station of a wireless power transfer system during charging and determining transmitter energy loss in a power transmitter, P, using the obtained measurements, wherein the transmitter energy loss, P, is a function of at least Vand P, wherein Vis proportional to the voltage amplitude across the capacitor of an LC tank circuit in a power transmitter and Pis the total power supplied to the power transmitter. The method also involves detecting the presence of a foreign object in response to the estimated transmitter energy loss.
