Abstract
Methods and systems for optimizing wireless charging are provided. The method may include identifying, by a charging controller, charging apparatus location information associated with a wireless charging apparatus configured to direct charging beams, and identifying, by the charging controller, an optimal charging zone of the wireless charging apparatus based at least in part on the charging apparatus location information. The method may include receiving, by the charging controller, a first location information associated with a mobile device, and determining, by the charging controller, a first proximity of the mobile device to the optimal charging zone of the wireless charging apparatus based at least in part on the first location information. The method may include transmitting, by the charging controller, first optimal charging indicator information to the mobile device, the first optimal charging indicator information based at least in part on the first proximity.
