A method and device for wireless data transmission are described. A device receives sets of sensor data associated with respective sensor measurements for a vehicle. The device determines a priority for each of the sets of sensor data based on an amount of data stored for that sensor measurement in a number of data queues, and selectively stores each of the sets of sensor data in one of the data queues based on a threshold data throughput rate of a wireless network and the priority of each set of sensor data. The device transmits, to a second computing device via the wireless network, at least some of the sets of sensor data from the data queues based on a current data throughput rate of the wireless network and a priority level of each of the data queues.

A wireless power system includes a wireless power transmitting device such as a wireless charging mat for charging devices such as a cellular telephone and an earbuds battery case. The earbuds battery case receives earbuds and charges the earbuds from a battery. The wireless charging mat supports bidirectional in-band communications between the cellular telephone and the earbuds battery case. The earbuds battery case provides the cellular telephone with information on the battery charge level associated with the battery in the earbuds battery case and a battery charge level associated with each earbud in the earbuds battery case. The cellular telephone receives battery charge level information through the wireless charging mat and displays corresponding indicators. The earbuds battery case has a visual output device such as a light-emitting diode that is illuminated to indicate that the earbuds battery case is being charged.

Embodiments of a manually-powered communication device such as a cellular mobile telephone, a satellite phone, or a walkie-talkie include a manually operable crank; a dynamo flywheel generator arranged to receive energy input from the manually operable crank; a low wattage power supply, such that the power supply is operably connected to the dynamo flywheel generator and receives energy therefrom; a capacitor with a buffer that comprises a power storage capacity sufficient to operate the mobile telephone without continuous manual input, the capacitor receiving energy from the power supply; a processor operably connected to the capacitor and able to receive energy therefrom; and a modem that is operably connected to the processor and arranged to receive energy therefrom. The crank, the generator, and the capacitor are all included in a power unit portion of the device; the power supply, processor, and modem are included in a main body of the device.
