Abstract:
A wireless power transmission apparatus for induction heating includes: a working coil that is configured to change operation based on selection of a mode of operation from among a plurality of operating modes, the plurality of operating modes including a wireless power transmission mode configured to wirelessly transmit power and a heating mode configured to heat one or more objects, an inverter that is configured to output, to the working coil, current at an operation frequency, and a controller. The controller is configured to detect a target object, and determine, in the wireless power transmission mode, whether the target object is (i) a device from among a first group of devices including a device with a reception coil or (ii) an induction heating device.
