Abstract

A wireless power transmission system includes, a transmit antenna which in operation produces a wireless field, an amplifier coupled to the transmit antenna, a load sensing circuit coupled to the amplifier and a controller coupled to the load sensing circuit. A monitoring device has one or more sensors and a unique user ID. The one or more sensors acquire user information selected from of at least one of, a user's activities, behaviors and habit information. The monitoring device includes an ID circuitry. A communication interface receives information about the unique user ID when the load sensing circuit indicates the monitoring device is within the wireless field. The indication is created using at least a change in power consumption.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A wireless power transmission system, comprising:
a transmit antenna that in operation produces a wireless field;
an amplifier coupled to the transmit antenna;
a load sensing circuit coupled to the amplifier;
a controller coupled to the load sensing circuit;
a monitoring device with a microphone and sensors to determine air quality, sound level, light quality and ambient temperature near a person;
an accelerometer configured to detect a person's movement information, the accelerometer and the monitoring device configured to assist to determine a person's sleep information and sleep behavior information , the microphone configured to record the person's movement sounds detected by the accelerometer, the recording of sensors that determine sound level, light quality and ambient temperature relative to the person's sleep information and sleep behavior information, the recording of the sensors beginning a stoppage of the monitoring in response to the accelerator detection of movement information; and
a communication interface that in operation receives information about a unique user ID when the load sensing circuit indicates the monitoring device is within the wireless field, the indication created using at least a change in power consumption.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the load sensing circuit in operation produces a response signal representative of the changes in power consumption.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to determine, at least one of a presence of another device within the wireless field or the information of the device previously indicated to be within the wireless field.

4. The system of claim 1 , further comprising
a wireless communicator coupled to the controller, the wireless communicator configured to communicate with the monitoring device over a communication channel different from a wireless communication channel used to generate the wireless field, wherein the controller is further configured to monitor the information from the communication channel.

5. The system of claim 4 , further comprising:
a second monitoring device with a receive antenna in the wireless field and wherein the communication channel is configured for a peer-to-peer communication between the device and the another device.

6. The system of claim 4 , wherein the different communication channel is a wireless technology standard for exchanging data communication channel.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the controller in operation monitors and processes additional information about another monitoring device with a receive antenna in the wireless field to generate additional notification information.

8. The system of claim 1 , further comprising:
a memory coupled to the processor, the memory configured to store at least one of the information about the monitoring device or the notification information.
