Abstract
Wireless power and data transfer can be implemented for powering and communicating with a variety of devices, in a manner that facilitates device access under such wireless power conditions. As consistent with one or more embodiments, wireless power and data are communicated in an apparatus such as a mobile device having a power circuit (e.g., a battery) that powers a processor under normal operating conditions, and that also operates in a low-power state (e.g., in which the processor is not operating and/or not operating using the power circuit). Power is generated using wireless power signals and used to power the power circuit and to both extract and store data from wireless data signals. With this approach, data can be transferred in a low-power state, and the processor can use the stored data upon transitioning to an on state in which the processor is active and powered by the power circuit/battery.
