Abstract:
A method for generating a load variation for detecting a wireless power receiving unit in wireless charging is provided. The method includes maintaining a switch connected to a dummy load in an ON state by the wireless power receiving unit, receiving wireless power from a wireless power transmitting unit, and, upon receiving the wireless power, switching the switch connected to the dummy load to an OFF state.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus are provided for controlling a wireless power receiver for wirelessly receiving power. A drive power for driving the wireless power receiver is received from a wireless power transmitter. A communication network is established with the wireless power transmitter. A wireless power network that is controlled by the wireless power transmitter is joined. A charge power is received from the wireless power transmitter.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus are provided for detecting a non-intended object of power reception by a power transmitter. Power transmission for communication is performed, when the load change is sensed that has a value greater than or equal to a predetermined threshold. It is determined whether a subscription request, for subscribing to a network is received within a predetermined time period. The power transmission for communication is stopped when the subscription request is not received within the predetermined time period. Power is transmitted to a power receiver that has transmitted the subscription request, when the subscription request is received within the predetermined time period. It is determined whether a leakage power value exceeds an allowable range, when the power state report is received from the power receiver. The transmission of the power to the power receiver is stopped, when the leakage power value exceeds the allowable range.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses for performing wireless charging are disclosed. One of the disclosed apparatuses is a wireless power transmitter which can receive charging power from a wireless power transmitter. When the wireless power transmitter detects a transition from a Stand Alone (SA) mode to a Non Stand Alone (NSA) mode, it generates a message that includes address information used to re-connect with the wireless power transmitter and transmits the message to the wireless power transmitter.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for excluding a cross-connected wireless power receiver in a wireless power transmitter is provided. The method includes determining transmission power while the wireless power transmitter is connected to the wireless power receiver; transferring the determined transmission power to the wireless power receiver; receiving a report indicating a power-receiving state from the wireless power receiver; determining whether the power-receiving state indicated by the report is within a valid range corresponding to the transmission power; and terminating the connection to the wireless power receiver if the power-receiving state is outside of the valid range.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for advance detection of output power, before arrival at a boundary frequency between an inband and an outband during frequency tracking in a wireless charging apparatus, the wireless charging apparatus including a first resonator resonating at a lower-limit frequency of the inband and a second resonator resonating at an upper-limit frequency of the inband, to adaptively adjust the frequency based on the power values output from the first and second resonators, and to determine a power transmission control value corresponding to the adjusted frequency, thereby enabling frequency control and power control within the inband.
