Provided are a wireless charging device and method. The wireless charging device may include: a first group of coils; a second group of coils; and a processor. The processor may be configured to: transmit a first ping signal through the first group of coils and the second group of coils; sense a change in current, voltage, and/or frequency occurring in the first group of coils and the second group of coils in response to the first ping signal to detect that an electronic device is placed on the wireless charging device; select at least one coil from the first group of coils and at least one coil from the second group of coils at which the change is sensed; transmit a second ping signal through the selected coils; and wirelessly transmit power to the electronic device by using the selected coils. Various other embodiments are also disclosed.
