Wireless Power Supply System and Wireless Power Supply Method

Abstract

An object is to provide a system for improving convenience for users, by which a portable electronic device or the like can be charged even in a place where utility power is not available. Another object is to provide a system which allows a service provider to easily perform customer management. A wireless power supply system includes a power storage device having a power storage portion, a terminal charging device for wirelessly supplying electric power to the power storage device, and a management server having user information. Electric power can be supplied to specified users by intercommunication of user information between the power storage device and the terminal charging device and between the terminal charging device and the management server.

         14 . A wireless power supply system comprising:
 a server configured to determine whether a first identification information is valid or not with reference to a second identification information, and to send a signal of an information that the first identification information is valid; and   a charging device configured to wirelessly transmit an electric power after receiving the signal,   wherein the first identification information is transmitted from the charging device, and   wherein the second identification information is stored in the server.   
     
     
         15 . The wireless power supply system according to  claim 14 ,
 wherein the charging device is connected to the server via a wireless line.   
     
     
         16 . The wireless power supply system according to  claim 14 ,
 wherein the server comprises a first storage medium configured to store the second identification information, and   wherein the charging device comprises:
 a communication portion configured to communicate with the server; 
 an antenna configured to transmit with the electric power; and 
 a measuring portion configured to measure an amount of the electric power. 
   
     
     
         17 . The wireless power supply system according to  claim 16 ,
 wherein the server further comprises a second storage medium to store usage information of the electric power.   
     
     
         18 . The wireless power supply system according to  claim 14 ,
 wherein the electric power is transmitted to a power storage device comprising the first identification information.   
     
     
         19 . The wireless power supply system according to  claim 14 ,
 wherein the electric power is transmitted to a memory card with a power storage device comprising the first identification information.   
     
     
         20 . The wireless power supply system according to  claim 18 ,
 wherein the power storage device is embedded in a living body or a solid.   
     
     
         21 . The wireless power supply system according to  claim 14 ,
 wherein the electric power is transmitted to an electrical stimulation generation device comprising the first identification information, and   wherein the electrical stimulation generation device configured to maintain a function of an internal organ by application of electrical stimulation to a living body.   
     
     
         22 . The wireless power supply system according to  claim 18 , wherein the power storage device comprises:
 a memory portion configured to store the first identification information;   an antenna configured to receive the electric power from the charging device; and   a power storage portion configured to store the electric power.   
     
     
         23 . A wireless power supply method for managing power supply, comprising the steps of:
 reading a first identification information;   transmitting the first identification information from a charging device to a server comprising a second identification information;   receiving a first signal from the server when the first identification information is valid with reference to the second identification information; and   wirelessly transmitting an electric power after receiving the first signal.   
     
     
         24 . The wireless power supply method according to  claim 23 , further comprising the steps of:
 measuring an amount of the electric power; and   transmitting a information of the amount of the electric power to the server.   
     
     
         25 . The wireless power supply method according to  claim 24 , further comprising the step of receiving a charge non-request signal before transmitting the information of the amount of the electric power. 
     
     
         26 . The wireless power supply method according to  claim 23 , further comprising the step of:
 receiving an accumulated charge information from the server,   wherein the accumulated charge information comprise an usage information and a billing information.   
     
     
         27 . The wireless power supply method according to  claim 23 ,
 wherein the charging device is connected to the server via a wireless line.   
     
     
         28 . The wireless power supply method according to  claim 23 , further comprising the step of:
 receiving a second signal from the server when the first identification information is not valid with reference to the second identification information,   wherein the electric power is not wirelessly transmitted when the server transmits the second signal.
