POWER, METHOD FOR TRANSMITTING INFORMATION AND METHOD FOR RECEIVING INFORMATION}

The present invention relates to a wireless power transmission apparatus, a wireless power reception apparatus, a wireless power transmission method, a wireless power reception method, an information transmission method, and a information reception method.

In the 1800s, electric motors and transformers using electromagnetic induction principles began to be used, and then radio waves and lasers were used to transmit the electric energy to the desired devices wirelessly. A method of transmitting electrical energy by radiating the same electromagnetic wave has also been attempted. Our electric toothbrushes and some wireless shavers are actually charged with electromagnetic induction. Until now, the wireless energy transmission method is magnetic induction, self resonance, and remote transmission technology using short wavelength radio frequency.

In recent years, among such wireless power transmission techniques, energy transmission using self resonance is widely used.

In the wireless power transmission system using self-resonance, since the electric signals formed on the transmission side and the reception side are wirelessly transmitted through the coil, the user can easily charge electronic devices such as portable devices.

Conventionally, a transmitting side receives status information on a receiving side through an electromagnetic induction method to perform power transmission, but a technique in which a transmitting side receives status information on a receiving side through a self-resonance method and performs power transmission The development is still small.

In addition, since the wireless power can be transmitted between the transmitting side and the receiving side in a self-resonant manner, knowing the status information of the transmitting side at the receiving side enables more efficient power transmission. Bi-directional communication is required.
