Abstract
In some examples, a wireless charging system includes a pressure sensitive plate, a plurality of charging coils, and a base that includes one or more processors and logic instructions. The logic instructions are executable by the one or more processors to detect a device placed on the pressure sensitive plate, determine coordinates of a plurality of vertices of the device, determine an approximate location of a receiver of the device, identify one or more charging coils of the plurality of charging coils that are nearest to the receiver of the device, and activate the one or more charging coils that are nearest to the receiver of the device, without activating a remaining charging coils of the plurality of charging coils.
