Description

Wireless charger with WiFi module and alarm function {The Wireless charger with alarm function.}

The present invention is a wireless charger equipped with an alarm function, and more specifically, a server transmits a control signal to the wireless charger through a Wifi network, transmits an alarm signal to the wireless charger according to the control signal, and efficiently miniaturizes the wireless charger board. It relates to a wireless charger equipped with an alarm function, characterized in that it is provided with a Wifi antenna.

Recently, as wireless chargers for smartphones have become popular, our daily lives have changed a lot from the past. The method of wireless charging has played an important role in charging smartphones, and major companies are also giving wireless charging functions to smartphones.

The wireless charging method adopts the industry standard Qi method to be compatible with most smartphones on the market, and supports high-speed and wireless charging with a USB-C type and an output of up to 15W.

In addition, recently, multi-wireless chargers that can charge multiple devices at once are attracting attention. A typical example is the 'Hume 3in1 stand type wireless charging pad' sold in App Story Mall. This product has the ability to charge three devices at the same time, including Bluetooth earphones, smart watches, and smartphones. In particular, in the case of the smartphone charging unit, it has a structure that allows you to conveniently check the screen by mounting it, which guarantees much greater usability than other wireless chargers in actual use.

However, these functions enhance the function of the wireless charger itself, and do not enhance the communication function of the wireless charger.

In order to respond to the era of the Internet of Things, it can be said that the development of wireless chargers with communication functions is essential.

That is, in the prior art, Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2014-0110417 discloses “a transmission coil configured to transmit a wireless power signal; a memory configured to store advertisement information; a display unit installed on one side of the transmission coil to display the advertisement information; And a transmission control unit for displaying advertisement information stored in the memory on the display unit and controlling transmission of the wireless power signal to the wireless power receiver through the transmission coil when the wireless power receiver is located in a charging position. A wireless power transmission device having a function.” Provided,

Korean Registered Patent No. 10-1314772 describes a “wireless charger 10 that wirelessly charges portable devices such as mobile phones and smartphones, and a monitor that outputs various still image or video signals according to remote control signals input from the outside. 20, a wireless pager 22 that outputs a signal according to a remote call signal input from the outside, and signal processing of video or audio data for advertising to control the output of the wireless charger 10 and the monitor 20 The signal processing unit 40, the wireless charger 10, the monitor 20, the wireless pager 22, and the signal processing unit 40 are simultaneously accommodated and installed and the casing member 50 installed on the table 30 Provides a "wireless charging device equipped with an advertising function"
