Wi-Charge received 1 granted patent in H1 2026, in Hardware (1).
The patent covers a wireless optical power beaming system designed to maintain charge in gaming controllers both during active use and idle periods. This technology addresses the problem of dead batteries by eliminating the need to remember to charge devices manually.
On the Hardware side, 1 patent tackles the persistent problem of gaming controllers running out of power. Rather than relying on charging pads that require a controller to be physically placed on a surface, this system uses long-range optical power beaming to deliver energy to controllers continuously, whether they are actively in use or simply sitting idle. To keep the beam aligned as controllers move around during gameplay, the system employs scanning mirrors that track the controller's position in real time, removing the need for any deliberate charging action from the user.
