Referring to FIG. 1, a wireless power
Memory 111 stores a series of instructions for controlling the transmission of wireless power. The
<Avoidance of interference between wireless power transmission and local area communication>
When short range communication of the source device is activated while the wireless power is being transmitted to the target device, the
When short range communication of the source device is activated while wireless power is being transmitted to the target device, an application processor (AP) 120 that controls short range communication may request the
If the source device is enabled for close range communication while the source device is transmitting wireless power to the target device, the source device may temporarily stop the transmission of the wireless power and perform near-field communication. Thereby, interference may not occur between the transmission of the radio power and the local communication.
In one embodiment, the source device may receive service information for the target device while transmitting wireless power to the target device. The service information may include, for example, coupon information, mileage accumulation information, advertisement information, living information, or shopping information. When receiving the service information, the source device can activate the close range communication. At this time, when the wireless power is transmitted to the target device, the
<Confirmation of receiving power of wireless power for target device>
The source device may receive identification information of the target device from the local area communication system. When the target device enters the charging area of the source device, the
<Multiple wireless charging of source device>
The second target device, which is different from the target device, may enter the charging area of the source device while the source device transmits wireless power to the target device. The source device may signal to the second target device. Through signaling, the source device can identify the second target device and can transmit wireless power to the second target device. In this case, the source device transmits wireless power to a plurality of target devices. At this time, when the short distance communication of the source device is activated, the
<Checking the wireless charging method supported by the target device>
The source device may support a plurality of wireless charging schemes. The plurality of wireless charging methods may include, for example, a magnetic induction method and a resonance method. Standard specifications related to the magnetic induction method include the Power Matters Alliance (PMA) and the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC), and the standard specification related to the resonance method includes the A4WP (Alliance for Wireless Power). The source device may support a plurality of standard specifications.
When the source device detects the target device, it can generate a first signaling message corresponding to a plurality of wireless charging schemes, and can transmit the first signaling message to the target device. Here, the source device may or may not receive a response of the first signaling message from the target device. That is, when the target device reads the first signaling message, the target device can transmit a response of the first signaling message to the source device. If the target device can not read the first signaling message, the target device can not transmit the response of the first signaling message to the source device. When receiving the response of the first signaling message from the target device, the source device can confirm that the target device supports the wireless charging scheme corresponding to the first signaling. If the source device fails to receive the response of the first signaling from the target device, the source device may generate a second signaling message corresponding to the other of the plurality of wireless charging schemes, and may transmit the second signaling message to the target device.
For example, when the first signaling message corresponds to A4WP, if the target device supports WPC, the target device can not read the first signaling message corresponding to A4WP. As a result, the target device can not transmit the response of the 1 signaling message to the source device. In this case, since the source device does not receive the response of the 1 signaling message, the source device can generate the second signaling message corresponding to A4WP and other standard specifications. The source device may send a second signaling message to the target device, and if the response of the second signaling message is received from the target device, the source device may verify that the target device supports A4WP.

The wireless power transmission control method shown in Fig. 7 can be performed by the wireless power transmission control apparatus.
The wireless power transfer control device controls 710 wireless power to be transmitted to the target device.
In addition, the wireless power transmission control device stops transmitting the wireless power so that the source device performs close-range communication with the target device when the short-range communication of the source device is activated while the wireless power is transmitted to the target device (720). The wireless power transmission control apparatus can be requested to stop the transmission of the wireless power from the application processor that controls the short range communication when the short range communication is activated. The wireless power transmission control apparatus can change its operation state to a wireless power transmission suspension state upon request.
In one embodiment, the source device may receive service information for the target device while transmitting wireless power to the target device. The source device may activate the local communication to transmit the service information to the target device. At this time, interference may occur between the local communication and the wireless power transmission. The wireless power transmission control apparatus can change its operation state to the wireless power transmission interruption state so that interference does not occur. As a result, the source device may not transmit wireless power to the target device, and may transmit the service information to the target device.
The wireless power transmission control apparatus can control the wireless power to be retransmitted to the target device when the short distance communication is inactivated. When the short range communication is disabled, the application processor can notify the wireless power transmission control device that the short range communication is inactivated. As a result, the wireless power transmission control apparatus can change its operation state to the wireless power transmission state. The wireless power transfer control device may cause the source device to retransmit wireless power to the target device.
