Technical field
Present invention relates generally to wireless power transmissions.
Background technique
Such as portable electronic device of smart phone, tablet computer, laptop and other electronic equipments etc
Have become we communicate with each other with interact it is daily needed for.The frequent use of these electronic equipments may require that a large amount of electric energy, this
It is easy to exhaust the battery being attached in these equipment.Therefore, user is frequently necessary to insert the device into power supply, again to the equipment
Charging.This may need at least to fill for electron equipment one day primary electricity or fill more than one within electronic equipment one day to high demand
Secondary electricity.
Above-mentioned activity may be burden that is uninteresting and will cause user.For example, it may be possible to may require that user carries charging
Device is insufficient to prevent his electronic equipment electric energy.In addition, user must find the power available that can connect.Finally, user is necessary
Charger is inserted on the wall or other power supplys are can give his or her electronic equipment to charge.However, this activity can cause
Electronic equipment can not be operated during charging.
It may include at present that there is the equipment of rechargeable battery to the solution of the above problem.It is referred to however, above-mentioned
Method requires user to carry additional battery, and is ensured that the additional battery pack has charged.Solar battery charger
It is known, however, solar battery is expensive, and needs big solar battery array to the battery of any large capacity
Charging.Other methods include liner or cushion, make it possible to be physically connected to electrical socket not needing the plug by equipment
In the case where by using electromagnetic signal to equipment charge.In this case, it is still desirable to whithin a period of time put equipment
It sets at specific position to charge to the equipment.Assuming that electromagnetism (EM) signal is single source electric energy transmission, then EM signal function
Rate on distance r with l/r2The directly proportional factor reduces, in other words, signal power with to square proportional mode of distance
Decaying.It therefore, is being sub-fraction in emitted power with the EM transmitter power that place receives larger distance away.For
Increase the power for receiving signal, it is necessary to improve transmission power.Assuming that transmitting signal has from three centimeters of EM transmitter
The acceptance rate of effect just needs to improve transmission power then to receive identical signal power on three meters of effective distance
10000 times.Since the equipment that most of energy will be transmitted rather than is expected receives, this electric energy transmission is waste

E. it is used for the bag formation method of multiple equipment
1. basic configuration
Fig. 5 shows the step of powering accoding to exemplary embodiment to multiple receiver devices.In the first step 501,
Transmitter (TX) and receiver (RX) establish connection or associated.I.e. that is, transmitter and receiver can be by using
Can be transmitted between two processors of electronic equipment information wireless communication protocol (for example,BLE、Wi-Fi、
NFC、) transmitting control data.For example, implementingOrIn the embodiment of modification, transmitter can be with
The commercials signal or receiver of scanning radio can transmit advertising signal to transmitter.Advertising signal can be to transmitting
Machine notifies the presence of receiver, and can trigger the connection between transmitter and receiver.As described later, some
In embodiment, advertising signal can transmit can by various equipment (for example, transmitter, client device, server computer,
Other receivers) information that uses to be to execute and manage the process of bag formation.The information for including in advertising signal may include setting
Standby identifier (for example, MAC Address, IP address, UUTD), the voltage of received electric energy, equipment power consumption and with electricity
It can the related other kinds of data of transmission wave.Transmitted advertising signal can be used to identify receiver in transmitter, and
In some cases, the location receiver in two-dimensional space or three-dimensional space.Once transmitter identifies receiver, then transmitter
Connection associated with receiver can be established in the transmitter, so that transmitter and receiver can be logical by second
Believe that channel transfer controls signal.
As an example, when includingWhen the receiver of processor is powered on or is placed in the detection range of transmitter,
Bluetooth processor can basisStandard starts to notice receiver.Transmitter can identify advertisement and begin setting up for passing
Pass the connection of control signal and electric energy transmission signal.In some embodiments, advertising signal may include unique identifier so that
Transmitter can distinguish advertisement, and finally by the receiver with it is every other in rangeEquipment distinguishes.
In next step 503, when transmitter detects advertising signal, transmitter can be automatically formed and the receiver
Communication connection, this can enable transmitter and receiver can transmit control signal and electric energy transmission signal.Then, transmitter
The receiver can be ordered to start to transmit real-time sampling data or control data.Transmitter may also begin to transmission from transmitter
Aerial array antenna electric energy transmit signal.
In next step 505, receiver may then based on the received electric flux of antenna by receiver to measure
Voltage and other measurements relevant to the electric energy transmission validity of signal.The control comprising metrical information can be generated in receiver
Then data will send transmitter to comprising the control signal for controlling data.For example, receiver can be for example with 100 times per second
Rate the voltage measuring value of the electric flux received is sampled.Receiver can be in the form of controlling signal according to per second
100 times voltage sample measured value is sent back into transmitter.
In next step 507, transmitter can execute one or more software modules, the one or more software module
It is monitored to from the measurement of the received such as voltage measuring value etc of receiver.Algorithm can be changed by the antenna of transmitter
Electric energy transmits the generation and transmission of signal, so that the validity of the energy bag around receiver maximizes.For example, transmitter can be with
Phase when transmitting signal to the antenna transmission electric energy of transmitter is adjusted, until the received electric energy instruction of receiver is receiving
The energy bag effectively established around machine.When the best configuration for antenna is identified, the memory of transmitter can store this
Configuration is to keep transmitter to be propagated with highest level.
In next step 509, the algorithm of transmitter can decide when that electric energy transmission signal must be adjusted, and can also
In response to determining the configuration for needing to carry out such adjustment to change transmitter antenna.For example, transmitter can be based on from connecing
The received data of receipts machine determine that the electric energy that receives at receiver is less than maximum value.Then, transmitter not only can be automatic
The phase of electric energy transmission signal is adjusted, and can continue to receive and monitor the voltage reported from receiver simultaneously.
In next step 511, after the period of the determination for communicating with specific receiver, transmitter can be scanned
And/or the advertisement of other receivers of the automatic detection in the range for being located at transmitter.Transmitter can be in response to from the
Two receiversThe connection with the second receiver is established in advertisement.
In next step 513, after establishing the second communication connection with the second receiver, transmitter can continue to adjust
One or more antennas in the aerial array of transmitter.In some embodiments, transmitter can identify antenna subset to take
It is engaged in the second receiver, so that array is parsed into array subset associated with receiver.In some embodiments, entire antenna
Array can at a given time period in first class services receivers, then entire array can service second during this period of time and connect
Receipts machine.
The manually or automatically process that transmitter executes can choose a subset of array to service the second receiver.At this
In example, the array of transmitter can be divided into two halves, to form two subsets.Therefore, half antenna can be configured to
First receiver transmits electric energy, and the other half antenna is configurable to transmit electric energy to the second receiver.In current step 513

With the work at 900MHz, another 1/3 antenna can the work at 2.4GHz, and remaining antenna can be in array
Work at 5.8GHz.
In another embodiment, each array of antenna element can actually be divided into one during wireless power transmission
A or mutiple antennas element, wherein every group of antenna element in array is transmitted in different frequencies.For example, transmitter
Antenna element can transmit electric energy transmission signal at 2.4GHz, but the corresponding antenna element of receiver can be configured to
Electric energy is received at 5.8GHz transmits signal.In this example, the antenna element of the adjustable transmitter of the processor of transmitter
With virtually or be logically divided into the antenna element in array can be with multiple patches of independent power feeding.Therefore, 1/4 in array
Antenna element can be transmitted at the 5.8GHz needed for receiver, and another group of antenna element can be at 2.4GHz

For watt, receiver may include about 80 antenna elements, and transmitter may include about 256 antenna elements.It is another equivalent
Radio energy transmission system (at about 15 feet convey about one watt) may include the reception with about 40 antenna elements
Machine, and the transmitter with about 512 antenna elements.The quantity of antenna in receiver, which is halved, can require day in transmitter
The quantity of thread elements is double.In some embodiments, make the quantity of antenna element in transmitter than receiving due to cost
The quantity of antenna element is mostly beneficial in machine, this is because the hair far fewer than receiver will be present in the widespread deployment of system
