US Patent 10128695 Hybrid Wi-Fi and power router transmitter

The present disclosure provides a method of wireless transmission of power and Wi-Fi signals to electronic devices. The method includes identifying a first receiver that is associated with a first electronic device that requires power and a second receiver that is associated with a second electronic device that requires Wi-Fi signals, generating RF signals at least in part by converting power provided by a power source, where the transmitter includes a first set of antennas for transmitting RF signals and a second set of antennas for transmitting Wi-Fi signals, and transmitting, to the first receiver, the RF signals using at least two antennas of the first set of antennas connected to the transmitter. The method further includes, while transmitting the RF signals using the at least two antennas of the first set of antennas, simultaneously transmitting, to the second receiver, Wi-Fi signals using the second set of antennas.
