Patent attributes
An example method includes: before receiving any communications from any device within a transmission field of a far-field transmitter, transmitting, by the transmitter, exploratory power waves towards different segments of the transmission field. The method also includes: receiving, by the transmitter and from a receiver, a communication signal including one or more parameters: (i) identifying a first location of the receiver within a segment of the different segments at which an exploratory power wave was received and (ii) providing feedback regarding the exploratory power wave. The method further includes, upon receiving the parameters: storing, by the transmitter, the one or more parameters into a mapping memory; and determining, based on the first location and the feedback, a set of characteristics for a plurality of power waves. The method additionally includes: transmitting, by the transmitter, the plurality of power waves with the determined set of characteristics to the first location.
