1. A method determining whether a zone is authorized to receive power from a wireless power-supplying device said method comprising:
(a) scanning a field of view by said power-supplying device for detection of at least one sign associated with at least one zone,
(b) from a database containing one or more representations of signs associated with different zones, performing a sign-matching algorithm which compares said at least one detected sign with at least one representation of a sign contained in said database,
(c) if it is determined by said sign-matching algorithm that said detected sign matches at least one representation of a sign contained in said database, then determining from a predetermined protocol regarding the sign in said database, whether the zone is authorized to receive wireless power from said wireless power-supplying device, and if not authorized, preventing a receiver which has entered that zone from receiving wireless power.
