A system and method for selecting a battery pack of a plurality of battery packs being wirelessly charged. The system includes a wireless charger having a power supply and a plurality of charging coils, each charging coil coupled to the power supply and configured to wirelessly charge a battery pack of the plurality of battery packs using power received via the power supply. The wireless charger communicates with each battery pack to receive battery information. The system further includes an optimal battery selection device configured to detect a battery pack request; select an optimal battery pack of the plurality of battery packs based on a battery pack request and battery information; and provide a notification indicative of the optimal battery pack selected.

System and method for identifying a wirelessly charging battery

A method and device for wireless power transfer. The device includes a first sensor, a second sensor, and an electronic controller. The method includes determining, by the electronic controller, whether the first sensor senses a magnetic field. The method further includes determining, by the electronic controller, whether the second sensor senses the magnetic field. The method further includes determining, by the electronic controller, that the portable electronic device is in use when only the first sensor senses the magnetic field. The method further includes determining, by the electronic controller, that the portable electronic device is in storage when both the first and second sensors sense the magnetic field.

Method and device for wireless power transfer

An apparatus and method for full-orientation over-the-air charging includes a receiver coil associated with a portable electronic device for wireless charging; and a repeater coil associated with a device selectively configured to engage or support the portable electronic device for wireless charging, wherein the device is one of a cover, holster, or case for the portable electronic device; wherein, when the device is selectively engaged or supporting the portable electronic device, a portion of the repeater coil overlaps a portion of the receiver coil forming a magnetic coupling therebetween and supporting wireless charging of the portable electronic device in a plurality of orientations of the portable electronic device relative to a transmitter coil.

Apparatus and method for full-orientation over-the-air charging in portable electronic devices

A system and method to detect the presence of a portable communication device in a vehicle. In one exemplary embodiment, the method includes detecting, with an electronic processor of the portable communication device, that the portable communication device is receiving wireless power from a wireless charger located in the vehicle. The method further includes establishing a short-range wireless connection between the portable communication device and a vehicle control head. The method further includes sending a message from the portable communication device to the vehicle control head to transfer control of the portable communication device to the vehicle control head.

Systems and methods to transfer operations between mobile and portable devices

A power transfer interface () is formed of a primary repeater coil () and one or more secondary repeater coils () coupled via a wired interconnect (), and integrated within a garment (). The repeater coils operate as part of a wireless charging or powering system in which a transmit coil (), located in a vehicle or a radio, is driven to magnetically couple a wireless radio frequency (RF) power signal to the primary repeater coil () which in turn transfers the RF power signal to the secondary repeater coil () via the wired interconnect (). The system further comprises a portable electronic device () having a receive coil (). The receive coil () wirelessly receives the RF power signal from the secondary repeater coil (), which can in turn be used to power the portable device or charge a battery of the portable device.
