Patent attributes
A wireless power receiver including at least one antenna configured to: receive radio frequency (RF) waves from a wireless power transmitter, and convert energy from the received RF waves into an alternating current. The receiver further including a rectifier coupled to the at least one antenna and configured to rectify the alternating current into a direct current. The receiver further including a charger configured to: receive the direct current from the rectifier, and control, via circuitry included in the charger, distribution of current using one or more of a plurality of conduction paths: (i) to a load, and (ii) to and from at least one storage element coupled with the charger. The circuitry is configured to select one or more of the conduction paths based at least in part on: a respective power requirement of the load; a respective power requirement of the storage element and the direct current.
