  • System, method and apparatus for safe A4WP polling
    Patent number: 10516287
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method, apparatus and system to wirelessly charge a device without creating fire hazard or other risks to nearby sensitive objects. An exemplary embodiment includes a memory circuitry and a chipset. The chipset communicates with the memory circuitry and is configured to selectively communicate with one of a wireless charging module and an NFC module to detect presence of the sensitive device. The chipset can be further configured to: transmit a first polling signal at a first power level for a first duration and detect a response from the sensitive device; if no response is detected during the first duration, transmit a second polling signal at a second power level for a second duration; cease polling signal transmission if response is received to either the first or the second polling signals; and engage the wireless charging module to charge the proximally located wireless device if no response is detected from the sensitive device during the first or the second duration.
