Claim 0:
1. A wireless power transfer system configured to transfer alternating current (AC) signals, the AC signals including power signals and data signals, the system comprising:
a computer peripheral comprising a wireless receiver system including a receiver antenna, the wireless receiver system configured to alter electrical characteristics of the AC signals; and
a wireless transmitter system comprising:
a transmitter antenna configured to couple with the receiver antenna of and transmit the AC signals to the wireless receiver system, the AC signals including power signals and data signals, the data signals generated by altering electrical characteristics of the AC signals at the wireless receiver system;
at least one sensor configured to detect electrical information associated with the electrical characteristics of the AC signals, the electrical information including one or more of a current of the AC signals, a voltage of the AC signals, a power level of the AC signals, or combinations thereof;
a demodulation circuit configured to (i) receive the electrical information from the at least one sensor, (ii) detect a change in the electrical information, (iii) determine if the change in the electrical information meets or exceeds one of a rise threshold or a fall threshold, (iv) if the change exceeds one of the rise threshold or the fall threshold, generate an alert, (v) and output a plurality of data alerts; and
a transmitter controller configured to (i) receive the plurality of data alerts from the demodulation circuit, and (ii) decode the plurality of data alerts to receive the data signals.
