Systems and methods for wireless power and data transfer utilizing multiple antenna receivers

Abstract

A wearable device includes (i) a first antenna that is operable to wirelessly receive power, (ii) a second antenna that is operable to wirelessly receive data, (iii) a battery, (iv) a power conditioning system that is connected between the first antenna and the battery, (v) a data communications system, and (vi) a switch that is operable to selectively couple or decouple the second antenna to or from the data communications system. The wearable device is configured to (i) detect a trigger event for decoupling the second antenna from the data communications system and, (ii) in response to detecting the trigger event, control the switch to decouple the second antenna from the data communications system.
