Abstract:
Wireless charging methods and systems are provided for detecting foreign material by measuring a Q-factor based on a predefined packet and a transmission sequence while a wireless charging transmission device transmits power. An electronic device includes a battery; a coil; a wireless charging reception circuit; a power management module configured to control a charging state of the battery using a voltage supplied from the wireless charging reception circuit; and a processor configured to receive power from a wireless charging transmission device through the coil, determine whether a predetermined condition is satisfied while the battery is charged using the received power, and transmit a foreign material detection request packet to the wireless charging transmission device in response to determining that the predetermined condition is satisfied.
