Abstract
The disclosure includes a system and method for charging a target object wirelessly. The system includes a processor and a memory storing instructions that when executed cause the system to: receive data describing a code from a target object, the code being stored on a tagging device and configured to be read wirelessly by a reading device associated with the target object; verify the code; determine that a location associated with the target object satisfies a safe charging range responsive to the verification of the code, the verification of the code indicating a charging distance between a power transmitter and a power receiver associated with the target object satisfies a safe charging distance; and instruct the power transmitter to wirelessly transmit power to the power receiver associated with the target object responsive to determining that the location of the target object satisfies the safe charging range.
