Abstract
Methods and systems for enabling secure communication between a wireless charging system and at least one external device. The wireless charging system comprises at least one transmitter for supplying receiver(s) with wireless power. The external device may be used to control the wireless charging system by updating configuration files, instructing the transmitter as to which receiver to supply power to, and to supply billing information to enable receiver(s) to pay for wireless charging. The wireless charging system may provide the external device with data, such as receiver details, or images of the vicinity around the transmitter or receiver. The system only carries out the above if a key is presented to the wireless charging system. The key may be a physical key inserted into a component of the wireless charging system, such as into the transmitter, or a numeric key received by the wireless charging system.
