Powering cell phones and similar devices using RF energy harvesting

摘要

A device for receiving wireless power includes a point of reception, wherein the point of reception is positionable in at least a first position and a second position. A method for receiving wireless power. The method includes the steps of positioning a point of reception in contact with a housing to a first position. There is the step of receiving wireless power at the point of reception and providing it to a power harvester in the housing. There is the step of converting the wireless power to usable DC with the power harvester. There is the step of providing the usable DC to core components in the housing. There is the step of using the DC by the core components. There is the step of repositioning the point of reception to a second position. There is the step of receiving wireless power at the point of reception at the second position and providing it to the power harvester. There is the step of converting the wireless power received by the point of reception in the second position to usable DC with the power harvester. There is the step of providing the usable DC to the core components in the housing. There is the step of using the DC by the core components.
