Description
本發明係相關於無線電源取得的自動計量,例如充電或付費。
由於膝上型電腦、行動電話、音樂播放器、個人數位助理及需要周期性充電之其他自我供電可再充電的遠方裝置等持續增加,對於廣泛可取得性的能源的需求也明顯而持續地增加,尤其是在消費者及事業電子領域方面。在許多公共場所中,對於一般大眾而言能源並不方便取得,因為需要電線連接用的電力出線座。在過去,擅自接電者可能將他們的裝置插入任何可能取得的出線座,及使用該出線座所有者的電力。隨著裝置變得更加需要能源,出線座的可取得性及對於更多能源的需求也變得更加常見。隨著個人使用量及裝置數量增加,這需求更加擴大。電動交通工具充電目前使用標準出線座,其歸因於公眾對於能源供應的需求。對於公平地提供能源給予消費者,同時對於所提供的產品(電力)取得補償,出線座監視及能源用途控制,可能是必要的。
依照本發明之一觀點,提供一種無線充電系統,其包括:一偵測器,其辨識一待供電的裝置;一付費處理器,係耦合至該偵測器及基於該項辨識而進行電力傳輸之授權操作;一電力供應,係耦合至該付費處理器,基於該付費處理器之傳輸授權而無線地供應電力至該裝置;及其中,該付費處理器係進一步地操作而對該電力供應提供至該裝置的電力進行計費,藉以安排補償。
依照本發明之另一觀點,提供一種電腦可讀的儲存媒介,其中儲有可由無線充電付費用程控處理器執行指令之資料,該儲存媒介包括可用於以下操作之指令:接收來自一裝置之用於無線充電的請求;辨識該裝置及一該裝置附帶之帳戶,其中該帳戶包含一充電價值;提供無線電力給予該裝置;及在該無線電力提供至該裝置時,修改該充電價值。
依照本發明再一觀點,提供一種用於提供無線充電的方法,包括:儲存帳戶資料,其包括每一消費者的充電分鐘量;接收來自一消費者之無線充電的請求;驗證消費者的身分及檢查該消費者之充電分鐘的量;在該消費者之充電分鐘的量係大於一臨界值時,提供無線電力;及轉帳該充電分鐘的量。
依照本發明又一觀點,提供一種無線提供電力至一裝置的方法,包括:證驗該裝置及該裝置所附帶的帳戶;授權一給付,其用於提供無線電力至該裝置;提供無線電力至該裝置;及接收一取得該無線電力的確認。
為了滿足消費者對於方便取得電力的需求,人們對於無線電力供應的興趣明顯而持續地增加。無線電力供應系統提供許多優點,改良了習用的電線連接。最顯著的是,許多充電電線及為了再充電而重複插拔電子裝置的需要被去除了,因而成本降低及改良了使用的簡易性及方便性。公共可得的無線充電對於消費者而言可能是非常方便的及有用的,然而電力供應者,如該地點的所有人或設備,對於其提供的電力可能想要對消費者請款或開帳單。
順便在此介紹,本發明實施例係相關於無線電力取得的自動計量,例如請款或付費。需要電力的裝置與電力供應商進行通訊及決定付費的方法。消費者可能被要求提供付費/帳戶資訊,或者如果該付費/帳戶資訊已經預先附帶在一個現存帳戶或該需要電力之裝置,則消費者帳戶自動地以無線電力進行充電。該帳戶可包含一預付的配給,例如,已轉帳作為無線電力供應之已預付的充電時間配給,或者開帳單給無線電力所提供的該帳戶。電力傳輸計量可加以提供,以便取得支付充電或電力供應的款項,同時保持對使用者友善。
第一圖圖解一無線充電系統100。該充電系統包含至少一個消費者104可進入的電力供應系統102。電力供應系統102可提供無線電力給予消費104,以便交換支付。電力供應系統102可由一設備供應者106加以提供、維修、及/或控制,例如,公共場所或有限公共區域的所有人或管理者,及/或電力的所有人或供應者108,例如一電力設備。消費者104可擁有一裝置,例如行動電話或膝上型電腦,其包含必須再充電或需要電力供應以便操作之電池。可以理解的是,本發明實施例可用於提供電力給予非電池操作的裝置,其在操作時間下需要傳輸操作用電力。在本發明全文中,”充電”一辭係包含提供電力以充電一電池,及在充電該電池之外,提供或傳輸電力,例如供電至一裝置。電力供應系統102提供電力給予消費者104進行充電,或者操作裝置。如前所述,該電力或能源可為電流(AC或DC)之形式,其由一電力出線座或供應終端流到消費者的裝置。
電力供應系統102可提供無線電力給予消費者104。該電力供應可經由感應而在消費者裝置感出電流進而充電。無線電源傳輸係進一步地描述在美國專利公告第2008/0231211號中,其專利名稱為”POWER SUPPLY”,該專利在本文中併入以供參考。
電力供應系統102可安放在電力所有人108所有的場所。在一實施例中,該電力所有人可為一電力供應者,例如,一基礎建設的所有人,其經由電力供應系統102提供電力。電力所有人108可利用設備供應者106而提供電力給予消費者104,也能夠對於所供應的電力取
