example # 1

Example #1

[0029]is a coffee shop in which hot beverages are served using cups 400 described in FIG. 4. The cups 400 may be made of cheap materials, such as cardboard, for discardable purposes or made of more sophisticated materials like plastic or metal for reusable purposes. The coffee shop may have a wireless transmitter 200. Pockets of energy 106 may be formed by transmitter 200 and sent to receivers 300 in cups 400 that are within the scope of the wireless power transmission. Cups 400 may then apply heat to the beverages in order to keep them hot depending on the customers preferences.

Example #2

[0030]is a restaurant in which food is served using plates 500 described in FIG. 5. Plates 500 may be made of cheap materials, such as cardboard, for discardable purposes or made of more sophisticated materials like plastic or metal for reusable purposes. The restaurant may have a wireless transmitter 200. Pockets of energy 106 may be formed by transmitter 200 and sent to receivers 300 in plates 500 that are within the scope of the wireless power transmission. Plates 500 may then apply heat in order to keep the food hot depending on the customers preferences.

example # 3

Example #3

[0031]is a Bar in which cold drinks are served using cups 400 described in FIG. 4. Cups 400 may be made of cheap materials, such as cardboard, for discardable purposes or made of more sophisticated materials like plastic, glass or metal for reusable purposes. The bar may have a wireless transmitter 200. Pockets of energy 106 may be formed by transmitter 200 and sent to receivers 300 in cups 400 that are within the scope of the wireless power transmission. Cups 400 may then cool drinks depending on the customers preferences.

Abstract

A cup or plate for heating food or beverages is disclosed. The cup/plate contains a heating component, which may keep consumable goods, such as food and beverages at a desired temperature. An insulated external layer may be placed between the heating component and the external portion of the cup/plate. A wireless power receiver may be coupled to the heater component to receive an electrical power source and transfer it to the heater component. A transmitter element may form pockets of energy at the location of the different receivers to be used as power sources.
