Patent ID: 8570372

Claim:
A device comprising: one or more cameras, the one or more cameras being configured to detect visible light and invisible light from one or more fields of view, and to create one or more visible light images and one or more invisible light images of the one or more fields of view; one or more projectors, the one or more projectors being configured to project at least invisible light into at least one of the one or more fields of view; and one or more processors, the one or more processors being configured to control the one or more projectors to project one or more invisible light patterns into at least one of the one or more fields of view; analyze the one or more invisible light images detected by the one or more cameras in order to generate depth data indicative of the depth of at least one item in at least one of the one or more fields of view; combine the one or more visible light images and the depth data to create three-dimensional data of at least one of the one or more fields of view; identify an object in the one or more fields of view, wherein the object comprises an electronic device; identify the location of the object using the three-dimensional data; and control the one or more projectors to project light into a subset of volumetric space in at least one of the one or more fields of view in order to power the electronic device by wirelessly transferring energy to the electronic device via a beam of light based upon the identified location.
