According to various embodiments, the wireless charging module 157a may receive power in a wireless manner via the conductive pattern unit 105 to charge the battery (e.g., the battery 143 of FIG. 4A). The wireless charging module 157a may be connected to the first, second, and / or third conductive patterns 153a, 153b, and 153c, respectively, or selectively via a switch member (not shown). For example, a switch member may be disposed between the wireless charging module 157a and the first, second and / or third conductive patterns 153a, 153b, and 153c to electrically connect the first, second, and / 153a, 153b, and 153c may be connected to the wireless charging module 157a.

According to various embodiments, the NFC module 157b may perform proximity wireless communication through the conductive pattern unit 105. [ The NFC module 157b may be connected to the first, second, and / or third conductive patterns 153a, 153b, and 153c through unillustrated switch members. The first, second and / or third conductive patterns 153a, 153b, and 153c are formed on the line connecting the switch member and the first, second and / or third conductive patterns 153a, 153b, and 153c, A matching circuit that makes the wireless communication device suitable for proximity wireless communication, and the like.

According to various embodiments, the MST module 157c may generate magnetic flux through the conductive pattern part 105. [ For example, the MST module 157c may generate magnetic flux through at least one of the first, second, and / or third conductive patterns 153a, 153b, and 153c, (E.g., payment information). For example, an electronic device (e.g., electronic device 100101 of FIG. 1) may periodically transmit MST signals containing payment information through the MST module several times. For example, the MST signal may include payment information contained in at least a portion of the card.

According to various embodiments, the MST module 157c may be coupled to the first, second, and / or third conductive patterns 153a, 153b, and 153c, respectively, via unillustrated switch members. The first, second and / or third conductive patterns 153a, 153b, and 153c are formed on the line connecting the switch member and the first, second and / or third conductive patterns 153a, 153b, and 153c, And a matching circuit for generating magnetic flux using the magnetic flux.

11 is a block diagram illustrating a configuration for transferring payment information in an electronic device 100 (e.g., electronic device 101 in FIG. 1) according to one of various embodiments of the present invention.

In various embodiments of the present invention, a configuration for generating magnetic flux using the above-described third conductive pattern 153c will be described. However, this disclosure does not limit the present invention, and the configuration and operation of the third conductive pattern 153c disclosed in the following various embodiments are not limited to the above-described first and / or second conductive patterns 153a and 153b Can be implemented.

11, a conductive pattern (e.g., the third conductive pattern 153c) according to various embodiments may be formed of a plurality of turns, in which one conductive line is wound or extended in a polygonal shape, And first and second sections 153d and 153e, respectively, each of which includes a conductive line of the specification.

12 is a plan view showing an example of a conductive pattern for transferring settlement information in an electronic device (for example, electronic device 101 in FIG. 1) according to one of various embodiments of the present invention.

12, the conductive line portions disposed in the first section 153d, out of the regions in which the conductive lines constituting the conductive pattern 153c are disposed, are larger than the conductive line portions disposed in the second section 153e Can have a width. For example, in FIG. 12, the third conductive pattern 153c may be formed as a planar coil having an asymmetric top and bottom shapes.

According to one embodiment, the conductive pattern may be a loop antenna. The conductive pattern may be designed so that the intensity of the magnetic field is different for each region. The position of a shadow region (for example, the null section (NULL) described above) of the conductive pattern generated in the terminal can be moved. For example, the width of the antenna pattern (e.g., conductive line) of the first section 153d can be made wider than the width of the antenna pattern arranged in the second section 153e. Accordingly, when the current flows, the resistance of the first section 153d region is relatively lower than the second section 153e, and therefore, the intensity of the magnetic field generated in the first section 153d is lower than that in the second section 153d It can be stronger than the intensity of the generated magnetic field. If the intensity of the magnetic field generated in the first section 153d is stronger than the intensity of the magnetic field generated in the second section 153e, the shaded area of the loop antenna may be formed at the lower end rather than the center of the terminal. For example, as shown in FIGS. 28 to 31, an electronic device (for example, the electronic device 101 in FIG. 1) can recognize an MST recognition range (for example, 'an area between the center and the upper end of the terminal' ). Accordingly, the user can improve the recognition rate of the MST by bringing the MST recognition range close to the reader. According to one embodiment, even if the pattern of the first section 153d region is the same in thickness, additional conductive patterns may be formed at the lower end of the first section 153d region, Can be implemented more strongly.

13 is a graph showing an example of measured values by measuring the magnetic flux generated by the conductive pattern shown in FIG.

Referring to FIG. 13, it can be seen that the magnetic flux generated by the third conductive pattern 153c shown in FIG. 12 may have an asymmetric shape. For example, the magnetic flux generated in the first section 153d may be greater than the magnetic flux generated in the second section 153e. As the magnetic flux radiated by the first section 153d on the third conductive pattern 153c becomes larger, a null section is formed from the center of the third conductive pattern 153c toward the second section 153e ) Can be positioned in a biased direction.

According to various embodiments, a planar coil having an upper, lower, left, and right symmetrical shape has generated a null section at the center portion and a symmetrical magnetic flux is generated. When the same signal current is applied, the planar coil shown in FIG. 12 (for example, the third conductive pattern 153c (see FIG. 12)) is formed in the same manner as the planar coil in which the number of turns and the number of turns of the conductive lines are symmetrical. ) May generate a magnetic flux in which the null section moves from the center portion to one side edge in close proximity. Alternatively, it can be seen that the planar coil shown in Fig. 12 emits a magnetic flux in the first section in a wider area than a planar coil in symmetrical form. Therefore, when compared with the symmetrical planar coil, the information (e.g., payment information) is easily transmitted to an external device (e.g., magnetic read-out type force terminal) through the magnetic flux generated by the third conductive pattern 153c .

14 to 18 are plan views respectively showing various examples of the conductive pattern for transferring settlement information in the electronic device 100 according to one of the various embodiments of the present invention.

14, when one conductive line constituting the third conductive pattern 153c is disposed, even if the conductive line portions of the same number of turns are arranged in the first and second sections 153d and 153e, The conductive line portions disposed in the first section 153d can be dispersed in a wider area. The first section 153d is formed in a region wider than the second section 153e so that a null section is formed on one side (for example, lower side in FIG. 14) from the center of the third conductive pattern 153c And a larger amount of magnetic flux can be radiated in the first section 153d.

Referring to FIG. 15, in disposing one conductive line constituting the third conductive pattern 153c, a plurality of turns wound in a coil shape may be disposed on each of the first and second sections 153d and 153e . A plurality of turns each wound in a coil shape in each of the first and second sections 153d and 153e can generate a current flow in the same direction (e.g., counterclockwise direction). The current generated in the first and second sections 153d and 153e may flow clockwise according to the signal current applied to the conductive line constituting the third conductive pattern 153c.

According to various embodiments, the coils disposed in the first section 153d may be arranged to occupy a wider area than the coils disposed in the second section 153e, and may have a greater number of turns. For example, the first section 153d may be disposed such that the conductive line is wound five times, and the second section 153e may be wound three times. The number of turns of the coils arranged in each section is different from the area in which the coils are arranged so that the null section moves from one side (e.g., the upper side in Fig. 15) of the third conductive pattern 153c toward the center, A larger amount of magnetic flux can be radiated in the first section 153d. According to the embodiment, even if the number of turns of the coils disposed in the first section 153d and the number of turns of the coils disposed in the second section 153e are the same, And may be formed on one side (e.g., between the null section of Fig. 12 and the center portion of the third conductive pattern) from the central portion. According to one embodiment, the null interval formed according to the form of FIG. 15 can be more dispersed than when the areas occupied by the respective sessions are the same. That is, as described above, the formation position of the null section and the width of the section where the magnetic flux is radiated can be formed differently depending on the arrangement of the conductive pattern.

Referring to FIG. 16, in disposing one conductive line constituting the third conductive pattern 153c, a plurality of turns wound in a coil shape may be disposed in each of the first and second sections 153d and 153e . A plurality of turns, each of which is wound into a coil shape in each of the first and second sections 153d and 153e, can generate a current flow in a reverse direction (e.g., counterclockwise) with respect to each other. For example, if the flow of current generated in the first section 153d is counterclockwise, the flow of current generated in the second section 153e may be clockwise.

The coils formed by the conductive lines in the first and second sections 153d and 153e may be formed in the same area with different numbers of turns (for example, number of turns). For example, the coil disposed in the first section 153d may have a greater number of turns, and the magnetic flux emitted from the first section 153d may be greater than the magnetic flux emitted from the second section 153e Can be many. The null section of the magnetic flux emitted by the third conductive pattern 153c can move from one side (for example, the upper side in FIG. 16) of the third conductive pattern 153c toward the center of the third conductive pattern 153c, More magnetic flux can be radiated in the coil 153d. Further, according to one embodiment, when the number of turns of the coil disposed in the first section 153d is equal to the number of turns of the coil disposed in the second section 153e, the magnetic flux by the coils disposed in the plurality of sections 3 conductive pattern C, thereby increasing the recognition rate of the MST module. That is, as described above, the formation position of the null section and the width of the section where the magnetic flux is radiated can be formed differently depending on the arrangement of the conductive pattern.

17 and 18, the third conductive pattern 153c has a coil shape, for example, a first section 153d disposed at a central portion thereof, and a second conductive pattern 153c surrounding the second section 153d to surround the first section 153d. Section 153e may be disposed. The first section 153d is formed to occupy a smaller area than the second section 153e, but may include a greater number of conductive line sections. For example, the first section 153d may include a greater number of conductive line portions in a narrow area or space, such as a solenoidal coil, to provide more than a planar coil (e.g., a coil formed by the conductive lines in the second section) A positive magnetic flux can be emitted. For example, the magnetic flux emitted by the second section 153e may be bilaterally symmetrical with respect to the center, and a null section may be formed at the center. The first section 153d is disposed at the center of the second section 153e to compensate for the null interval of the magnetic flux formed by the second section 153e by radiating strong magnetic flux. For example, the third conductive pattern 153c shown in FIG. 17 and / or FIG. 18 can generate a larger magnetic flux from the edge to the center.

The shapes of the conductive patterns (for example, the above-described third conductive patterns 153c) through the above-described various embodiments are the same as those of the first and / or the second conductive patterns 153a and 153b . ≪ / RTI > According to another embodiment, the present invention is not necessarily limited to the conductive patterns of the various embodiments described above, and it is also possible to provide a magnetic field and / or magnetic flux by moving the null section, depending on the direction in which the null section is to be moved, Depending on the region to be formed more strongly, the conductive pattern can be formed in various ways.

As described above, the conductive pattern (e.g., the above-described third conductive pattern 153c) according to various embodiments of the present invention can provide a plurality of current flow paths. For example, it may have first and second current flow paths, and the direction of the current flowing through each of the first and second paths may be designed to be the same. According to various embodiments, the conductive pattern according to various embodiments of the present invention may further provide a third flow path, and may include a direction of current flowing through each of the first, second and / or third paths, (For example, to the lower portion of the conductive pattern) of one side of the conductive pattern in accordance with the arrangement of the conductive lines forming each path, and a stronger (for example, upper and / or central portion of the conductive pattern) Magnetic field and / or magnetic flux.

Fig. 19 is a block diagram for explaining another example of the configuration for transferring settlement information in the electronic device 100 (e.g., the electronic device 101 in Fig. 1) according to one of various embodiments of the present invention.

19, the conductive pattern 153c according to various embodiments may include a plurality of coils 153f and 153g, and the same signal is applied to each coil from a control circuit, for example, the MST module 157c . For example, the third conductive pattern 153c may include first and second coils 153f and 153g that are independently disposed relative to each other, and from the MST module 157c, And may be applied to the second coils 153f and 153g. The first and second coils 153f and 153g may be disposed adjacent to each other.

If the conductive pattern 153c according to various embodiments is formed on a multilayer circuit board, for example, a flexible printed circuit board, the first and second coils 153f and 153g may be formed of the same (Or surfaces) of the flexible printed circuit board 150. According to various embodiments, if the first and second coils 153f and 153g are formed on different layers of the flexible printed circuit board, As viewed from above the circuit board, the first and second coils 153f and 153g may be disposed adjacent to each other and / or partially overlap.

20 to 23 are plan views respectively showing various examples of a conductive pattern for transferring settlement information in the electronic device 100 according to one of the various embodiments of the present invention, for example, the electronic device 101 in Fig. 1).

Referring to FIG. 20, the first and second coils 153f and 153g receiving the same signal at the same time from the MST module (for example, the MST module 157c in FIG. 10) , The conductive lines have the same number of turns while being wound in the same direction, and can be arranged to occupy the same area. When the same signal is applied to the first and second coils 153f and 153g at the same time, the first and second coils 153f and 153g rotate in the same direction, for example, in the clockwise direction Can be generated. The third conductive pattern 153c composed of the first and second coils 153f and 153g is formed so that the null section is biased toward one side or the other side in accordance with magnetic fluxes generated by the first and second coils 153f and 153g It is possible to generate the magnetic flux to be located.

Referring to FIG. 21, the first and second coils 153f and 153g receiving the same signal at the same time from the MST module (for example, the MST module 157c in FIG. 10) have the same number of turns, The conductive lines can be formed so as to be wound in the opposite directions with respect to each other. When the same signal is applied to the first and second coils 153f and 153g at the same time, the first and second coils 153f and 153g can generate a current flow in a reverse direction with respect to each other. For example, if the first coil 153f generates a current flow in a clockwise direction, the second coil 153g can generate a current flow in a counterclockwise direction. The third conductive pattern 153c composed of the first and second coils 153f and 153g is formed so that the null section is biased toward one side or the other side in accordance with magnetic fluxes generated by the first and second coils 153f and 153g It is possible to generate the magnetic flux to be located.

22, the first and second coils 153f and 153g receiving the same signal at the same time from the MST module (for example, the MST module 157c in FIG. 10) have different numbers of turns, And can be arranged to occupy different areas. When the same signal is simultaneously applied to the first and second coils 153f and 153g, the second coil 153g formed to occupy a larger area with a larger number of turns is connected to the first coil 153f, A larger amount of magnetic flux can be emitted. For example, when the same signal is applied to each of the first and second coils 153f and 153g arranged as shown in FIG. 22, the null section generated by the third conductive pattern 153c may be formed to be biased to the left from the center.

According to various embodiments, the first and second coils 153f and 153g forming the third conductive pattern 153c may have a planar coil shape disposed on the same plane, but may have a shape of a solenoid coil have. 23, the conductive lines constituting the first coil 153f are arranged to extend in the longitudinal direction of the electronic device 101 while being wound on the outer peripheral surface of the electronic device 100101, The conductive lines constituting the coil 153g may be respectively arranged in the form of extending in the width direction of the electronic device 101 and may have a shape wound around the outer circumferential surface of the electronic device 101. [

If the third conductive pattern 153c according to various embodiments of the present invention has a planar coil shape, the magnetic flux generated by the third conductive pattern 153c may be applied to one surface (e.g., the back surface) of the electronic device 100101 (E.g., front) direction. Alternatively, if the third conductive pattern 153c according to various embodiments of the present invention has the form of a solenoidal coil as shown in Fig. 23, , Bottom direction and / or lateral direction). The first and second coils 153f and 153g may include any one of the third conductive patterns 153c shown in FIGS. 12 to 18 as long as the first and second coils 153f and 153g are made of planar coils.

Although the conductive lines constituting the first and second coils 153f and 153g are shown by dotted lines in FIG. 23 for convenience of illustration and description, the conductive lines constituting the first and second coils 153f and 153g May be formed of a transparent material, for example, indium-tin oxide.

24A to 24F are diagrams for explaining another example of the configuration for transferring payment information in the electronic device 100 according to one of the various embodiments of the present invention.

Referring to Figure 24A, the third conductive pattern 153c according to various embodiments may include a plurality of coils 153f and 153g and may be coupled to a control circuit, e.g., an MST module 157c, Signals can be independently applied to the coils 153f and 153g. For example, the third conductive pattern 153c may include first and second coils 153f and 153g that are independently disposed relative to each other, and may receive the same or different signals from the MST module 157c at the same time And may be applied to the first and second coils 153f and 153g. The first and second coils 153f and 153g may be disposed adjacent to each other. The third conductive pattern 153c may have a different distribution pattern depending on the time when a signal is applied to the first and second coils 153f and 153g, Magnetic flux can be generated.

The electronic device according to various embodiments of the present invention detects a state of alignment with an external device and detects a time point at which a signal is applied to the first and second coils 153f and 153g and a time interval The direction of the signal current can be set differently. For example, when the operation in which the electronic device 100 approaches the external device is repeated or along the traveling direction, or depending on the alignment angle and distance between the electronic device 100 and the external device, the user grasps the electronic device 100 Signals can be respectively applied to the first and second coils 153f and 153g to generate a magnetic flux that facilitates information transmission to an external device depending on one position, rotation, and tilt angle.

For example, first and second signals different from each other may be applied to the first and second coils 153f and 153g. In consideration of the relative positions of the electronic device 100 and the external device, 1 and the second signal may be applied to the first and second coils 153f and 153g, respectively, simultaneously, sequentially, alternately, and / or temporally overlapping each other. The first and second signals may be identical to each other.

According to various embodiments, the first and second signals may cause the first and second coils 153f and 153g to generate a current flow in the same direction or in different directions. For example, when the first signal is applied to the first coil 153f for a predetermined time to generate a current flow in the first direction, the second signal may not be applied to the second coil 153g. In another time period, when the second signal is applied to the second coil 153g to generate a current flow in the second direction, the first signal may not be applied to the first coil 153f. The current flow in the first direction and the current flow in the second direction, which are generated by the first and second coils 153f and 153g, respectively, may be the same or different from each other.

According to various embodiments, the control circuit (for example, the control circuit 157 of FIG. 8) may control the operation of the electronic device 100 according to the alignment state of the electronic device 100 and the external device and / , The timing of applying the second signal, the pattern to be applied, the time period for maintaining the applied state, and the direction of the signal current.

According to various embodiments, in the structure in which the third conductive pattern 153c includes a plurality of coils and signals are independently applied to the respective coils, the shape and arrangement of the coils constituting the third conductive pattern 153c May be similar to the embodiment shown in FIGS. 19 through 23. FIG. Therefore, detailed description of the shape, arrangement, and the like of the coil (s) constituting the third conductive pattern 153c according to the present embodiment will be omitted. According to various embodiments, the first and second coils 153f and 153g may be part or all of any one of the conductive pattern (s) of the embodiment illustrated in Figures 5B to 18, respectively. According to various embodiments, the first and second coils 153f and 153g may be formed of any one or a combination of two or more of the conductive pattern (s) of the embodiment shown in Figs. 5B to 18, respectively.

24A, the plurality of coils are connected to a first coil (e.g., the first coil 153f in Fig. 24A) and a second coil (e.g., a second coil in Fig. Coil 153g, and the first coil) or the second coil may be electrically connected to the MST module 157c or the wireless charging module 157a.

For example, according to one embodiment, the MST module 157c may apply the same signal or different signals to a plurality of coils in the MST module. According to one embodiment, the same or different signals can be applied to the first and second coils simultaneously from the MST module 157c or the wireless charging module 157a. For example, the third conductive pattern (e.g., the third conductive pattern of FIG. 24A (a)) may be formed in accordance with the time point at which signals are applied to the first and second coils, Conductive pattern 153c) can produce magnetic fluxes of various different distributions. According to one embodiment, when the second coil is used as an MST antenna, the wireless charging module and the second coil may be in an open state, and when the second coil is used as a wireless charging antenna, The coil may be in an open state.

For example, the MST module 157c may transmit payment information via any one or more of the first coil or the second coil. For example, the MST module 157c may select one or more coils of the first coil or the second coil according to a predetermined selection condition, and transmit the payment information through the selected coil. The predetermined selection condition may include a case of selecting based on the distance between the external device and the electronic device to receive the payment information. For example, the MST module 157c may transmit settlement information through a selected one of the first coil or the second coil, and may determine whether the first coil or the second coil The payment information can be transmitted again through another coil which is not selected. For example, the MST module 157c may transmit settlement information through a selected one of the first coil or the second coil, and may be configured to avoid connection between the selected coil and the external device, .

For example, the wireless charging module 157a may acquire power or transmit power from any one or more of the first coil or the second coil.

24B is a diagram illustrating a plurality of coils according to various embodiments of the present invention.

The electronic device (e.g., electronic device 101 of FIG. 1) may include at least one coil (e.g., a first coil 153f) coupled to the force terminal, , The second coil 153g), and the signal may include pulses indicative of the entirety of the first transaction data and / or the second transaction data. Of the signals transmitted for one second, at least one pulse may contain different data. As another example, at least one pulse may be sent via different MST modules (coil antennas). Although not shown, the NFC may operate in polling mode while the MST signal is being transmitted.

Referring to FIG. 24B, if a counter-clockwise current is conducted to the first coil 153f among the plurality of coils and no current is conducted to the second coil 153g, A null may be formed in the central portion of the coil 153f and no null may be formed in the portion corresponding to the second coil 153g.

Referring to FIG. 24B, if a counterclockwise current is conducted to the second coil 153g among the plurality of coils and no current is conducted to the first coil 153f, A null may be formed at the center of the coil 153g and no null may be formed at the portion corresponding to the first coil 153f.

Only one of the coils of the first coil 153f and the second coil 153g is alternately selected as shown in FIGS. 24B and 24B, alternately conducting electric current to the selected coil, When the payment information is transmitted to the external force terminal only through one coil, the null may be alternately formed only in the central portion of one coil of the first coil 153f or the second coil 153g Therefore, even if the leader of the force terminal is provided in the central portion of each coil, the settlement information can be transmitted to the force terminal irrespective of whether or not a null is formed.

As shown in FIG. 24B (c), the null intervals generated by the first coil 153f and the second coil 153g may not overlap each other. An electronic device (e.g., electronic device 101 of FIG. 1) in accordance with various embodiments may send a signal to a force terminal at least once through a plurality of coils and may utilize first and / or second payment information A sequence of a plurality of signals may be generated. For example, the electronic device 101 can transmit a settlement signal through the first coil 153f in the first MST signal period and a settlement signal through the second coil 153g in the second MST signal period can do.

40 (a) to 40 (d) show hardware block diagrams inside an electronic device including a plurality of MST modules.

According to one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 40 (a), the first MST module 157a and the second MST module 157b may transmit the same data to an external device. The first MST module and the second MST module may be different types of coil antennas. The first MST module and the second MST module may be spaced apart from each other. The voltage or current delivered to the first MST module and the second MST module may be at different levels. The first data receiving module 140a and the second data receiving module 140b in the MST control module can receive at least one identical signal from the MST data transmitting unit 210. [ For example, the MST data transmitting unit 210 may transmit an MST signal (not shown) including the same payment information to the first data receiving module 140a and the second data module 140b. The MST data transmitting unit 210 transmits a control signal for activating the first MST module 157a and the second MST module 157b to the first data receiving module 140a and the second data receiving module 140b Not shown) can be transmitted in the same manner. For example, upon reception of the control signal, the MST control module 130 may control the first MST module 157a and the second MST module 157b to transmit the MST signal to the outside.

According to one embodiment, when there are a plurality of MST output conversion modules as shown in FIG. 40 (b), at least one of the first data receiving module 140a and the second data receiving module 140b of the MST control module 130 The same signal can be received from the MST data transmitting unit 210.

The first MST module and the second MST module may be activated at an intersection to transmit a signal to an external device (e.g., POS). The first MST module and the second MST module may be activated at the same time. The first MST module and the second MST module may be selectively activated depending on the state of the electronic device. For example, when short range wireless communication (e.g., NFC) is activated in an electronic device using a coil antenna adjacent to the first MST module or when cellular network radio communication is activated using an adjacent antenna, 2 The MST module can be activated to send the MST signal. For example, when a signal is transmitted by activating at least one of the first MST module and the second MST module, it is difficult for the user to recognize the moving object by moving the electronic device (i.e., It can recognize it as a sensor, and activate the first MST module and the second MST module at the same time.
