  • Patent number: 10129834
    Abstract: Transmission power control methods and devices are described. In a transmission power control method, a specific absorption rate (SAR) is calculated based on a transmission power of the communication device and a proximity distance of the communication device with an external object. A time average specific absorption rate can be calculated based on the SAR. A power absorption budget value can be calculated based on the time average specific absorption rate and a time average specific absorption rate threshold value. Further, the transmission power of the communication device can be adjusted based on the power absorption budget value.

  • Publication number: 20160380466
    Abstract: This disclosure describes methods, apparatus, and systems related to a maximum coil current system. A device may determine a presence of a first device placed on a charging area of the device, the charging area including a power transmitting surface. The device may establish a connection with the first device using one or more communication protocol. The device may identify device information associated with the first device using the established connection. The device may determine a maximum charging current for the first device based at least in part on the device information.

  • Patent number: 9276624
    Abstract: According to one embodiment disclosed herein, there is provided an antenna module including a self-identification mechanism that may be used by one or more wireless circuits for management purposes. The self-identification mechanism may, for example, take the form of an integrated circuit (IC) device or chip that stores a serial number that may function as a unique identifier for an antenna on which it is mounted or associated. In one embodiment, a wireless module, for example containing RF components for sending and receiving signals from the antenna, queries the serial number device, and acquires the serial number for the antenna. The wireless module can use the serial number for any number of purposes, and in particular to verify that the antenna connected is a compliant antenna that will operate within the range, within the limits, and/or with the performance specified for the radio circuits within the wireless module.

  • Publication number: 20140191712
    Abstract: This disclosure is directed to power delivery including out-of-band communication. In general, a device to be charged and a charging device may interact using two separate wireless signals. A first wireless signal (e.g., a radio frequency (RF) signal) may be employed to charge the device. A second wireless signal of a different type (e.g., an infrared (IR) signal) may be employed for inter-device communication. An example device may comprise a power module to receive a first wireless signal, a transmitter to transmit a second wireless signal, and a charging control module. The first wireless signal may be for conveying power from a charging device to the device, the second wireless signal may be for transmitting information from the device to the charging device, and the charging control module may be to cause the transmitter to transmit the second wireless signal based on an indication received from the power module.
