Abstract:
Systems, methods, and apparatus are disclosed for communicating with a charging system comprising a plurality of charging stations configured to charge an electric vehicle. At least one first signal is transmitted to the charging system via a first communication link while the electric vehicle is a first distance from at least one charging station of the plurality of charging stations. The at least one first signal is indicative of a vehicle identifier of the electric vehicle. At least one second signal is received from the at least one charging station of the plurality of charging stations via a second communication link while the electric vehicle is a second distance from the at least one charging station, the second distance less than the first distance. The at least one second signal is indicative of a charging station identifier of the at least one charging station.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and apparatus are disclosed for charging a vehicle in a wireless power transfer system. In one aspect, a method of charging a vehicle is provided, including determining distances between the vehicle and each of a plurality of charging stations. The method further includes selectively communicating, based on the distances, with a first charging station of the plurality of charging stations.

Abstract:
Systems, methods, and apparatus are disclosed for electric vehicle wireless charging. In one aspect, a method of transferring wireless power to an electric vehicle is provided, including initiating a charging cycle comprising at least one initialization state during which a wireless power link sufficient for charging is established between the wireless power transfer system and the electric vehicle and at least one charging state during which wireless power transfer from the wireless power transfer system to the electric vehicle is performed. The method further includes generating a first timestamp indicating a start time of the wireless power transfer in response to entering the at least one charging state and generating a second timestamp indicating an end time of the wireless power transfer.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and devices are described for managing wake locks in a wireless communication device. The described methods, systems and devices may enable a wireless communication device to monitor activity of an application for which a wake lock is held. The described approach may manage the wake lock based at least in part on the activity or inactivity of the application. For example, when the application is inactive or has activity below a particular threshold for a certain amount of time, the described approach may determine to release the wake lock.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and apparatus are disclosed for parking and wireless power transfer and communication of messages in a parking and charging system. In one aspect, an apparatus for parking a vehicle for receiving charging in a parking and charging system is provided. The apparatus includes an antenna configured to wirelessly receive information identifying a location of one or more charging stations. The apparatus further includes a user interface configured to display information identifying at least one of the one or more charging stations. The apparatus further includes a controller configured to cause a communication link to be established between the vehicle with and at least one identified charging station.
