Abstract
A system includes an adaptive power source, a wireless power transmitter, and a wireless power receiver. The adaptive power source supplies a supply voltage across a Universal Serial Bus (USB) connector onto the wireless power transmitter that thereby transmits energy to the wireless power receiver. The wireless power transmitter has a USB plug that is inserted into a USB port of the adaptive power source. The wireless power transmitter sends a power control command to the adaptive power source across the USB connector. The power control command determines the supply voltage to be supplied to the wireless power transmitter. If the wireless power receiver determines the power level should be adjusted, then the wireless power receiver sends a wireless control communication to the wireless power transmitter. The wireless power transmitter reads the wireless control communication and sends a power control command to set the supply voltage to a desired level.
