Claim:
1. A computer-implemented method comprising: once a reading distance between a reading device positioned adjacent to a power receiver of a target object and a tagging device positioned adjacent to a power transmitter of a charging controller has been satisfied, transmitting a code from the tagging device positioned adjacent to the power transmitter of the charging controller to the reading device positioned adjacent to the power receiver of the target object, the code being stored on the tagging device; receiving, via a wireless communication unit of the charging controller, a wireless transmission from the reading device of the target object, the wireless transmission including the code that the reading device of the target object received from the tagging device of the charging controller; verifying the code to verify the target object; responsive to the code being verified, determining that a charging distance between the power transmitter of the charging station and the power receiver of the target object satisfies a safe charging distance; and responsive to determining the charging distance between the power transmitter and the power receiver associated with the target object satisfies the safe charging distance, instructing the power transmitter of the charging controller to wirelessly transmit power to the power receiver of the target object.
