Supply method. This terminal supply method is accompanied by the use of a physical cable (cable) or wire. Therefore, when handling a lot of terminal supply equipment, many cables occupy considerable working space, are difficult to organize, and are not good in appearance. In addition, the terminal supply method may cause problems such as instantaneous discharge phenomenon due to different potential difference between the terminals, burnout and fire caused by foreign substances, natural discharge, deterioration of battery life and performance.

Recently, in order to solve this problem, a charging system (hereinafter referred to as a "wireless charging system") and a control method using a method of transmitting power wirelessly have been proposed. In addition, since the wireless charging system was not pre-installed in some portable terminals in the past and the consumer had to separately purchase a wireless charging receiver accessory, the demand for the wireless charging system was low, but the number of wireless charging users is expected to increase rapidly.

Referring to FIG. 2, power transmission from a transmitter to a receiver according to the first wireless power transmission procedure of the WPC standard is largely selected in a selection phase 210, a ping phase 220, and an identification and identification step. and Configuration Phase, 230), and a power transfer phase (240).

The selection step 210 may be a step of transitioning when a specific error or a specific event is detected while starting or maintaining power transmission. Here, specific errors and specific events will be apparent from the following description. In addition, in the selection step 210, the transmitter may monitor whether an object exists on the interface surface. If the transmitter detects that an object is placed on the interface surface, the transmitter may transition to the ping step 220 (S201). In the selection step 210, the transmitter transmits an analog ping signal of a very short pulse, and detects whether an object exists in an active area of the interface surface based on a change in current of a transmitting coil.

In ping step 220, when an object is detected, the transmitter activates the receiver and sends a digital ping to identify whether the receiver is a receiver that is compliant with the WPC standard. If the transmitter does not receive a response signal to the digital ping (eg, signal strength indicator) from the receiver in the ping step 220, it may transition back to the selection step 210 (S202). In addition, in the ping step 220, when the transmitter receives a signal indicating that the power transmission is completed, that is, the charging completion signal, the transmitter may transition to the selection step 210 (S203).

When the ping step 220 is completed, the transmitter may transition to the identification and configuration step 230 for collecting receiver identification and receiver configuration and status information (S204).

In the identification and configuration step 230, the transmitter receives an unexpected packet, a desired packet has not been received for a predefined time, a packet transmission error, or a power transmission contract. If this is not set (no power transfer contract) it may transition to the selection step 210 (S205).

When the identification and configuration of the receiver is completed, the transmitter may transition to the power transmission step 240 for transmitting the wireless power (S206).

In the power transmission step 240, the transmitter receives an unexpected packet, an outgoing desired packet for a predefined time, or a violation of a preset power transmission contract. transfer contract violation), if the filling is completed, the transition to the selection step (210) (S207).

In addition, in the power transmission step 240, if it is necessary to reconfigure the power transmission contract in accordance with the change in the transmitter state, the transmitter may transition to the identification and configuration step 230 (S208).

The power transmission contract may be set based on state and characteristic information of the transmitter and the receiver. For example, the transmitter state information may include information about the maximum amount of power that can be transmitted, information about the maximum number of receivers that can be accommodated, and the receiver state information may include information about required power.

Referring to FIG. 3, power transmission from a transmitter to a receiver according to the second wireless power transmission procedure of the WPC standard is largely performed in a selection phase 310, a ping phase 320, and an identification and configuration step. and Configuration Phase (330), Negotiation Phase (340), Calibration Phase (Calibration Phase, 350), Power Transfer Phase (Power Transfer Phase, 360) and Renegotiation Phase (370). .

The selection step 310 transitions if a specific error or a specific event is detected while initiating or maintaining the power transmission—for example, including the reference numerals S302, S304, S308, S310, and S312. Can be. Here, specific errors and specific events will be apparent from the following description. In addition, in the selection step 310, the transmitter may monitor whether an object exists on the interface surface. If the transmitter detects that an object is placed on the interface surface, it may transition to ping step 320. In the selection step 310, the transmitter transmits a very short pulse of an analog ping signal, and an object in the active area of the interface surface based on the current change of the transmitting coil or the primary coil. Can detect the presence of

When an object is detected in the selection step 310, the wireless power transmitter may measure a quality factor of a wireless power resonant circuit, eg, a transmission coil and / or a resonant capacitor for wireless power transmission.

The wireless power transmitter can measure the inductance of a wireless power resonant circuit (eg, a power transfer coil and / or resonant capacitor).

The quality factor and / or inductance may be used to determine the presence or absence of foreign matter in a future negotiation step 340.

When an object is detected in the ping step 320, the transmitter wakes up the receiver and transmits a digital ping for identifying whether the detected object is a wireless power receiver (S301). If in ping step 320 the transmitter does not receive a response signal (eg, a signal strength packet) to the digital ping from the receiver, it may transition back to selection step 310. In addition, in the ping step 320, when the transmitter receives a signal indicating that the power transmission is completed, that is, a charging completion packet, the transmitter may transition to the selection step 310 (S302).

When the ping step 320 is completed, the transmitter may transition to the identification and configuration step 330 for identifying the receiver and collecting receiver configuration and status information (S303).

In the identification and configuration step 330, the sender receives an unexpected packet, a desired packet has not been received for a predefined time, a packet transmission error, or a power transmission contract. If this is not set (no power transfer contract) it may transition to the selection step 310 (S304).

The transmitter may determine whether entry into the negotiation step 340 is required based on a negotiation field value of the configuration packet received in the identification and configuration step 330.

As a result of the check, if negotiation is necessary, the transmitter may enter a negotiation step 340 (S305). In negotiation step 340, the transmitter may perform a predetermined FOD detection procedure.

On the other hand, if it is determined that negotiation is not necessary, the transmitter may immediately enter the power transmission step 360 (S306).

In the negotiation step 340, the transmitter may receive a Foreign Object Detection (FOD) status packet including a reference quality factor value. Alternatively, the FOD status packet including the reference inductance value may be received. Alternatively, a status packet including a reference quality factor value and a reference inductance value may be received. In this case, the transmitter may determine the quality factor threshold for FO detection based on the reference quality factor value. The transmitter may determine an inductance threshold for FO detection based on the reference inductance value.

The transmitter may detect whether the FO is present in the charging region using the quality factor threshold for the determined FO detection and the currently measured quality factor value, which may be, for example, the quality factor value measured before the ping step. Power transmission may be controlled according to the detection result. For example, when the FO is detected, power transmission may be stopped, but is not limited thereto.

The transmitter can detect whether the FO is present in the charging region using the inductance threshold for the determined FO detection and the current measured inductance value, which may be, for example, the inductance value measured prior to the ping step. Accordingly, power transmission can be controlled. For example, when the FO is detected, power transmission may be stopped, but is not limited thereto.

If the FO is detected, the transmitter may return to the selection step 310 (S308). On the other hand, if the FO is not detected, the transmitter may enter the power transmission step 360 through the correction step 350 (S307 and S309). In detail, when the FO is not detected, the transmitter determines the strength of the power received at the receiving end in the correction step 350, and determines the power loss at the receiving end and the transmitting end to determine the strength of the power transmitted at the transmitting end. It can be measured. That is, the transmitter may predict the power loss based on the difference between the transmit power of the transmitter and the receive power of the receiver in the correction step 350. The transmitter according to an embodiment may correct the threshold for FOD detection by reflecting the predicted power loss.

In the power transmission step 360, the transmitter receives an unexpected packet, an outgoing desired packet for a predefined time, or a violation of a predetermined power transmission contract occurs. transfer contract violation), if the filling is completed, the transition to the selection step 310 (S310).

In addition, in the power transmission step 360, if it is necessary to reconfigure the power transmission contract according to the change in the transmitter state, the transmitter may transition to the renegotiation step 370 (S311). At this time, if the renegotiation is normally completed, the transmitter may return to the power transmission step 360 (S313).

If the renegotiation is not normally completed, the transmitter may stop the power transmission to the corresponding receiver and transition to the selection step 310 (S312).

Here, the demodulated signal includes a received power indicator, a signal strength indicator, an identification indicator, a configuration indicator, an error correction (EC) indicator for power control during wireless power transmission, an end of charge (EOC) indicator, and an overvoltage It may include / over current / overheat indicator, but is not limited thereto, and may include various state information for identifying the state of the wireless power receiver.

In addition, the demodulator 432 may identify from which transmission coil the demodulated signal is received, and may provide the control unit 450 with a predetermined transmission coil identifier corresponding to the identified transmission coil.

For example, the wireless power transmitter 400 may obtain the signal strength indicator through in-band communication using the same frequency used for wireless power transmission to communicate with the wireless power receiver.

In addition, the wireless power transmitter 400 may not only transmit wireless power using the transmission coil 422 but may also exchange various information with the wireless power receiver through the transmission coil 422.

In addition, the wireless power transmitter 400 may exchange various information with the wireless power receiver through the short range communication unit 440.

The storage unit 470 may store packet information received according to the wireless power transmission procedure of FIGS. 2 to 3. In more detail, the storage unit 470 receives power when any one of a signal strength packet transmitted in the ping step and a configuration packet and an identification packet transmitted in the configuration and identification steps is transmitted to the

power transmission step

240 or 360. Information of the packet received in the

transmission step

240 or 360 may be stored. In addition, the storage unit 470 may store identifier information, application information, and the like, which the local area communication unit 440 communicates with the wireless power receiver, according to an exemplary embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 5, the wireless power receiver 500 includes a receiving coil 510, a rectifier 520, a DC / DC converter 530, a battery 540, a sensing unit 550, and a communication unit ( 560, a controller 570, and a short range communication unit 580 may be configured.

AC power received through the receiving coil 510 may be transferred to the rectifier 620. The rectifier 520 may convert AC power into DC power and transmit the DC power to the DC / DC converter 530. The DC / DC converter 530 may convert the strength of the rectifier output DC power into a specific intensity required by the battery 540 and then transfer the power to the battery 540. In addition, the receiving coil 610 may be configured to include a plurality of receiving coils (not shown). Frequency of AC power delivered to each receiving coil (not shown) according to the embodiment may be different from each other, and another embodiment of the present invention provides a predetermined frequency controller having a function of differently adjusting the LC resonance characteristics for each receiving coil. It is also possible to set different resonant frequencies for each receiving coil. In addition, the receiving coil 510 may convert the strength of the rectifier output DC power from the DC / DC converter 530 into power of an intensity capable of activating the display of the wireless power receiver and transmit the power to the display.

The sensing unit 550 may measure the intensity of the rectifier 520 output DC power and provide it to the controller 570. In addition, the sensing unit 550 may measure the strength of the current applied to the receiving coil 510 according to the wireless power reception and transmit the measurement result to the control unit 570. In addition, the sensing unit 550 may measure the internal temperature of the wireless power receiver 500 and provide the measured temperature value to the controller 570.

The controller 570 may determine whether the overvoltage is generated by comparing the measured rectifier output DC power with a predetermined reference value. As a result, when an overvoltage occurs, a predetermined packet indicating that the overvoltage has occurred may be generated and transmitted to the modulator 562. The signal modulated by the modulator 562 may be transmitted to the wireless power transmitter through the receiving coil 510 or the short range communication unit 580.

In addition, the control unit 570 may determine that the detection signal is received when the intensity of the rectifier output DC power is greater than or equal to a predetermined reference value. When the detection signal is received, a signal strength indicator corresponding to the detection signal is wirelessly transmitted through the modulator 562. Control to be transmitted to the power transmitter.

In addition, when the strength of the rectifier output DC power is less than or equal to a predetermined reference value, the controller 570 may determine that power transmission is interrupted. It can be controlled to be transmitted to the wireless power transmitter.

In addition, the controller 570 may control to receive power for activating the display unit of the wireless power receiver from the wireless power transmitter when the wireless power transmitter is connected. In this case, the strength of the power capable of activating the display unit may be equal to, lower, or higher than power for charging the battery 540. In particular, when the controller 570 is connected to the wireless power transmitter to receive power for activating the display unit, the controller 570 may control to perform the authentication operation of the short range communication unit 580 in a state where the display unit is temporarily turned on.

The controller 570 may control the short range communication unit 580 of the wireless power receiver 500 to perform short range communication with the short range communication unit configured in the wireless power transmitter. That is, the controller 570 may detect a short range communication authentication or data transmission / reception signal from the short range communication unit of the wireless power transmitter, and control the short range communication unit 580 to transmit and receive the corresponding data.

Referring to FIG. 6, the apparatus for transmitting power wirelessly may form a near field communication antenna 114 around the transmitting coil 116 and the transmitting coil 116 and may be mounted on the substrate 118.

The transmission coil 116 may execute any one of a power transmission method of a resonance or an induction power transmission method. In addition, the near field communication antenna 114 may be used for power transmission in addition to the operation for the near field communication.

As described above, a wireless power receiver control operation for performing short-range communication in the wireless power transmitter based on the configuration of the wireless power transmitter and the wireless power receiver according to the present embodiment will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

When the wireless power transmitter coupled with the short-range communication unit is mounted inside the vehicle, the wireless power transmitter may provide various functions and services of the vehicle through short-range communication with the wireless power receiver.

For example, the wireless power transmitter checks the short range communication identification information (for example, NFC Unique ID) of the wireless power receiver, and allows the wireless power receiver to directly connect with the Bluetooth speaker mounted in the vehicle without a separate device search process. Bluetooth simple pairing can be implemented.

Also, the short-range communication identification number of the wireless power receiver may be stored in advance, and the setting state of the vehicle may be adjusted according to the user for each wireless power receiver. For example, if the user's mobile phone is placed on the wireless power transmitter, the user's mobile phone automatically adjusts the stored settings (e.g., seat adjustment, mirror adjustment, etc.) when the user uses the vehicle according to the near field identification number of the mobile phone. You can proceed. Alternatively, if the user 2's mobile phone is placed on the wireless power transmitter, the stored settings (e.g. seat adjustment, mirror adjustment, etc.) are automatically performed when the user 2 uses the vehicle according to the near field communication identification number of the mobile phone. Can be.

In addition, when the vehicle setting of the user is input to a separate application of the wireless power receiver, the vehicle may implement the setting through a short range with the wireless power transmitter.

However, in order to provide a necessary service by accessing a short-range communication application installed in the wireless power receiver as described above, some functions of the wireless power receiver must be activated. For example, wireless power receivers differ in the functions they can perform or provide, depending on the standby mode (eg, Sleep Mode) or active mode (eg, Wake-up Mode). If necessary, the near field communication application installed in the wireless power receiver must be in an active mode (eg, wake-up mode). For example, the short-range communication identification information of the wireless power receiver may be exchanged in the standby mode, but the wireless power receiver may be switched to the active mode to perform Bluetooth simple paying operation or to exchange information stored in a specific application of the wireless power receiver. Only if it can be converted.

If the wireless power receiver is in the standby mode, there is an inconvenience that the user has to switch to the active mode through a separate operation according to the required function.

An effective way to allow the wireless power receiver to switch to an active mode capable of executing a particular application is to screen on the wireless power receiver. Using this characteristic, when the wireless power transmitter automatically switches the wireless power receiver to the active mode, the user can automatically activate a specific application of the wireless power receiver without using any additional operation and use various services without inconvenience. .

In addition, when wireless charging is performed to the wireless power receiver through the wireless power transmitter, it may be necessary to prevent short-range communication in order to prevent interference with short-range communication and to protect the device. For example, when the user boards a vehicle and performs the first necessary authentication and service through short range communication, the short range communication may be deactivated when the wireless power transmitter performs wireless charging.

Referring to FIG. 7, when the wireless power transmitter 710 is connected to the wireless power receiver 720, the wireless power transmitter 710 performs a selection step of transmitting an analog ping to the wireless power receiver 720 (S702).

When the selection step S702 is completed, the wireless power transmitter 710 transitions to the ping step S704 to transmit a digital ping to the wireless power receiver 720 and correspondingly, the wireless power receiver 720 transmits signal strength. do.

The wireless power transmitter 710 and the wireless power receiver 720 transition to the identification and configuration step S706 after the ping step S704 so that the wireless power receiver 720 transmits the identification information and the configuration information to the wireless power transmitter 710. send.

When the wireless power transmitter 710 and the wireless power receiver 720 transition to the power transmission step in the identification and configuration step (S706), the wireless power transmitter 710 may perform power transmission to the wireless power receiver 720. In this case, the transmitted power may transmit power at a level capable of activating the display unit of the wireless power receiver 720 in addition to the power transmission for charging the battery of the wireless power receiver 720 (S708). In detail, when the detection of the wireless power receiver 720 is completed, the wireless power transmitter 710 performs an authentication operation for performing short range wireless communication. In this case, as the operation of activating the display unit of the wireless power receiver 720 is required before performing the authentication operation, the wireless power transmitter 710 executes power transmission to activate the display unit of the wireless power receiver 720. The level of power transfer may be a power level for charging a battery of the wireless power receiver. Alternatively, the wireless power transmitter 710 may transmit power of a threshold level for activating the display unit.

The wireless power receiver 720 may transition to a power transmission step and turn on the display unit based on the power transmitted from the wireless power transmitter 710. The wireless power receiver 720 may be included in an electronic device (eg, a user mobile phone). Accordingly, the display unit of the electronic device may be activated by the power applied to the wireless power receiver 720 (S710).

The wireless power transmitter 710 may receive a control error packet (CEP) from the wireless power receiver 720 while transmitting power to the wireless power receiver 720 according to the execution of the power transmission step (S712). The packet CEP may have a value capable of controlling the strength of power applied from the wireless power transmitter 710 to the wireless power receiver 720. In particular, in the present embodiment, the control error packet (CEP) is transmitted from the wireless power receiver 720 to the wireless power transmitter 710 may be defined as the power transmission.

Therefore, when the control error packet CEP is received from the wireless power receiver 720, the wireless power transmitter 710 according to the present embodiment stops power transmission (S714). That is, the wireless power transmitter 710 transmits power. In the first step, power transmission is performed to activate the display unit of the wireless power receiver, not to transmit power for charging the battery of the wireless power receiver. Therefore, the wireless power transmitter 710 may resume or stop the power transmission step according to the authentication result after the short range communication authentication with the wireless power receiver 720.

When the wireless power transmitter 710 receives the control error packet CEP from the wireless power receiver 720, the wireless power transmitter 710 may perform mutual short-range communication authentication in a state in which power transmission is stopped (S716). The operation is described in detail in FIG. 9 below.

Referring to FIG. 8, when the wireless power transmitter 810 is connected to the wireless power receiver 820, the wireless power transmitter 810 executes a selection step of transmitting an analog ping to the wireless power receiver 820.

When the selection step S802 is completed, the wireless power transmitter 810 transitions to the ping step S804 to transmit a digital ping to the wireless power receiver 820, and correspondingly, the wireless power receiver 820 transmits signal strength. do.

The wireless power transmitter 810 and the wireless power receiver 820 transition to the identification and configuration step after the ping step S804, and the wireless power receiver 820 transmits the identification information and the configuration information to the wireless power transmitter 810. When the identification information and the configuration information are received from the wireless power receiver 820, the wireless power transmitter 810 transmits power for activating the display unit of the wireless power receiver 820 (S810). In another embodiment, the wireless power transmitter 810 and the wireless power receiver 820 detects an interconnection state in the identification and configuration phase, and the identification and configuration phase before the wireless power transmitter 810 transitions to the power transmission phase. In this case, the display of the wireless power receiver 820 transmits power that can be activated.

Thereafter, the wireless power receiver 820 may receive power for activating the display unit from the wireless power transmitter 810 and activate the corresponding display unit (S802).

After the display unit of the wireless power receiver 820 is activated, the wireless communication receiver transitions to the near field communication authentication step. That is, when the display unit is activated, the wireless power receiver 820 operates in an initial operation state for performing near field communication. Therefore, the wireless power transmitter 810 and the wireless power receiver 820 perform an authentication step for mutual short-range communication. At this time, the wireless power transmitter 810 stops the transmission of the display unit activation power transmitted to the wireless power receiver 820. (S814) Specifically, the wireless power transmitter 810 transmits power to the wireless power receiver 820. In this case, the power transmission step is performed to activate the display unit of the wireless power receiver 820 instead of transmitting power. Therefore, the temporarily executed power transfer step can be terminated in the near field communication authentication step before the transition to the normal power transfer step.

When the wireless power transmitter 810 and the wireless power receiver 820 complete the short-range communication authentication step (S816), the wireless power transmitter 810 transitions to the power transmission step according to the short-range communication authentication result and resumes power transmission or does not execute the power transmission step. The short range communication mode may be performed (S818). In detail, in the wireless power transmitter 810, when the short range communication authentication step with the wireless power receiver 820 is completed, the wireless power transmitter 810 transitions to a power transmission step and the battery of the wireless power receiver 820. Power transmission to charge the can be performed. Also, the wireless power transmitter 810 and the wireless power receiver 820 may perform a short range communication step without executing a power transmission step. Alternatively, the wireless power transmitter 810 and the wireless power receiver 810 may perform a multi-operation that performs near field communication while executing a power transmission step.

Meanwhile, in another embodiment, when the display unit of the wireless power receiver is activated when the wireless power transmitter and the wireless power receiver are connected, the wireless power transmitter and the wireless power receiver may perform short-range communication without the display unit activation power transmission step after the identification and configuration steps. Authentication can be performed. In another embodiment, when the display unit of the wireless power receiver is activated and connected to the wireless power transmitter, the wireless power transmitter and the wireless power receiver perform a power transmission step before the short range communication authentication step. Thereafter, if the control error packet (CEP) is received from the wireless power receiver during the power transmission step, the wireless power transmitter may stop the power transmission step and perform a near field communication authentication step.

Hereinafter, the short-range communication operation described in one embodiment and another embodiment will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to FIG. 9, the wireless power transmitter transmits a short range communication signal to a wireless power receiver (S902). Specifically, the wireless power transmitter performs short range communication authentication in a power transmission step or an identification and configuration step according to another embodiment. The short-range communication signal can be transmitted.

Thereafter, the wireless power transmitter determines whether a response signal corresponding to the short range communication signal is received from the wireless power receiver (S904).

The response signal may include a confirmation signal for near field communication authentication.

When the wireless power transmitter receives a response signal corresponding to the short range communication signal transmitted from the wireless power receiver, the wireless power transmitter checks the response signal (S906).

The performing of the confirming step may be a step of confirming an authentication signal included in the response signal and performing an authentication step of the wireless power transmitter and the wireless power receiver.

When the confirmation of the response signal is completed, the wireless power transmitter may perform near field communication authentication and determine whether the authentication step is completed (S908).

When the short range communication authentication step is completed, the wireless power transmitter may determine whether a short range communication application of the corresponding wireless power receiver is detected by transmitting a short range communication signal to the wireless power receiver (S910).

If the short range communication application is not detected from the wireless power receiver, the wireless power transmitter may determine that the short range communication application does not exist and execute the wireless charging operation of the power transmission step (S916).

On the other hand, if the near field communication application is detected from the wireless power receiver, the wireless power transmitter may execute the corresponding application. (S912) The wireless power transmitter determines whether to execute the power transmission step for wireless charging.

When the wireless power transmitter determines that the wireless charging mode execution request is detected, the wireless power transmitter executes the wireless charging mode for executing power transmission to the wireless power receiver (S916).

As described above, power transmission for temporarily activating the display unit of the wireless power receiver is temporarily executed before the short-range communication authentication step is executed. Thereafter, the power transmission step or the short-range communication step may be executed according to the short-range communication authentication result.

10 illustrates a processing operation for a short range communication signal during a short range communication authentication step.

Referring to FIG. 10, the wireless power transmitter executes a short range communication authentication mode (S1002) and determines whether authentication with the wireless power receiver is completed in the authentication step (S1004).

The wireless power transmitter may store identification information and executable application information of the wireless power receiver when the short range communication authentication is completed with the wireless power receiver. (S1006) Specifically, the wireless power transmitter is authenticated when the wireless power receiver is first connected. According to the information stored in the storage unit.

The stored information may be used later when the wireless power receiver performs short-range communication with the wireless power transmitter again. Therefore, when short-range communication is performed again later, the short-range communication authentication step may be omitted based on previously stored information.

Thereafter, the wireless power transmitter stores identification information of the wireless power receiver for short range communication and application information corresponding thereto, and ends the short range communication authentication performing mode (S1008).

Referring to FIG. 11, when the wireless power transmitter detects that an object is placed on the interface surface (S1102), the wireless power transmitter may perform a sensing operation of a near field communication integrated circuit (NFC IC) configured in the wireless power receiver. As a result, the wireless power transmitter may determine that the NFC IC exists when transmitting a signal for detecting whether the NFC IC exists in the wireless power receiver and receiving a response signal thereto.

When the NFC IC is detected, the wireless power transmitter may shift the operation state to the standby mode support operation. (S1106) In the standby mode support operation, the NFC unique ID and the NFC received from the wireless power receiver in the NFC IC detection step. The operation of executing the in-vehicle setting state corresponding to the unique ID may be performed. An example of the setting state may be information corresponding to the vehicle use state of the user, such as seat adjustment or mirror adjustment, as described above. In this case, in the standby mode support operation state, the display unit of the wireless power receiver may be turned off.

Thereafter, during the execution of the standby mode support operation or when the execution is completed, the wireless power transmitter may execute the ping step S1108 and the identification / configuration step S1110, which are operations before the power transmission step.

The wireless power transmitter may transmit a signal for switching the active mode to the identified wireless power receiver after the identification / configuration step S1110. For example, the signal for switching the active mode may include a display unit of the wireless power receiver. Power transfer to activate may be performed.

Thereafter, the wireless power transmitter may check whether there is an active mode support operation of the wireless power receiver after the activation mode switching—the display activation power transmission—S1114. Specifically, the wireless power transmitter activates the display by switching the active mode. It is checked whether the NFC application is executed from the wireless power receiver. That is, the wireless power transmitter may determine whether there is an NFC application that can be executed in advance by a user request in the wireless power receiver.

If there is an application executable in the wireless power receiver according to the check result, the wireless power transmitter executes an active mode support operation for executing the application (S1116).

That is, in order to execute the NFC function, support by the NFC Unique ID may be possible until the access of the iso-1443-4 protocol. But. It is not possible to communicate with NFC applications by using the upper stacks APDU, NDEF, LLCP, SNEP, and the like. Therefore, the wireless power transmitter may perform an active mode switching operation after partially activating a function of the wireless power receiver.

On the other hand, if the application for the active mode support operation is not detected from the wireless power receiver after the active mode switching step (S1112), the wireless power transmitter proceeds to the ping step (S1118), identification / configuration step (S1120) power transmission step (S1122) can be executed.

Thereafter, the wireless power transmitter and the wireless power receiver execute a power transmission step, and when the preset power transmission is completed, terminate the current power transmission step (S1124).

Referring to FIG. 12, if the wireless power transmitter detects that an object is placed on the interface surface, the wireless power transmitter may execute a power transmission step after a pinging step and an identification / configuration step (S1202). The operation flow up to has been described in detail with reference to the previous drawings and thus will be omitted.

The wireless power transmitter may determine whether an NFC support operation request is detected from the wireless power receiver during the power transmission step. In detail, the wireless power transmitter may determine whether an NFC operation request signal is received from the wireless power receiver during power transmission to the wireless power receiver.

When the wireless power transmitter detects the NFC support operation request from the wireless power receiver, the wireless power transmitter stops the power transmission step that is being executed. (S1206) Specifically, the NFC support request signal is detected by the wireless power transmitter and the wireless power receiver during wireless charging. If so, interference with near field communication or power transmission for radio charging should be stopped to protect the device of the transmitter or the receiver.

Thereafter, when the NFC support operation request is detected from the wireless power receiver, the wireless power transmitter may switch the operation state in which power transmission is stopped to the standby mode support operation. (S1208) Specifically, the standby mode support operation requests the NFC support operation. In operation S1204, an NFC unique ID received from the wireless power receiver and an in-vehicle setting state corresponding to the NFC unique ID may be executed. An example of the setting state may be information corresponding to the vehicle use state of the user, such as seat adjustment or mirror adjustment, as described above. In this case, in the standby mode support operation state, the display unit of the wireless power receiver may be turned off.

Therefore, when the wireless power transmitter is executing the standby mode support operation or the standby mode support operation is completed while the display of the wireless power receiver is turned off, the wireless power transmitter may transmit a signal for switching the active mode to the wireless power receiver. have. For example, the signal for switching the active mode may execute power transmission for activating the display unit of the wireless power receiver.

Thereafter, the wireless power transmitter may check whether there is an active mode support operation of the wireless power receiver after the active mode switch-display activating power transmission (S1212). Specifically, the wireless power transmitter activates the display by switching the active mode. It is checked whether the NFC application is executed from the wireless power receiver. That is, the wireless power transmitter may determine whether there is an NFC application that can be executed in advance by a user request in the wireless power receiver.

If there is an application executable in the wireless power receiver according to the check result, the wireless power transmitter executes an active mode support operation for executing the corresponding application (S1214).

On the other hand, if the application for the active mode support operation is not detected from the wireless power receiver after the active mode switching step (S1210), the wireless power transmitter may resume the power transfer mode in the state before the NFC support operation request is detected. (S1216)

Thereafter, the wireless power transmitter and the wireless power receiver may proceed with the power transmission step, and when the preset power transmission is completed, the corresponding power transmission step may be terminated (S1218).

The above detailed description should not be construed as limiting in all respects but should be considered as illustrative. The scope of the present embodiment should be determined by reasonable interpretation of the appended claims, and all changes within the equivalent scope of the present embodiment are included in the scope of the present embodiment.
