    Abstract: The present specification discloses a wireless power transmission device and method thereof. Here, the wireless power transmission device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a laser light source unit; a light output unit which emits laser light generated from the laser light source to a light receiving unit of the wireless power receiving device; and a control unit which controls shaping of the emitted light according to the angle of arrival with the light receiving unit so that an overfill loss is less than a predetermined threshold value. Here, the control unit detects the point at which the power conversion efficiency of the light receiving unit is highest, and sets and controls the power density value of the emitted light at the detected point.

    Abstract: A wireless charging apparatus is disclosed. The wireless charging apparatus includes a plurality of coil arrays disposed so as to partially overlap each other, and a shielding member disposed at one side of each of the coil arrays to block a leaked magnetic field. The coil arrays include a first coil array including a plurality of transmission coils disposed adjacent to each other, a second coil array including a smaller number of transmission coils than the first coil array and disposed under the first coil array, and a third coil array including the same number of transmission coils as the second coil array and disposed on the first coil array. As a result, it is possible to simultaneously charge a plurality of devices requiring different amounts of power.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a wireless power transmission system and, more particularly, to an apparatus and a method for performing handover between heterogeneous communication methods. A wireless power transmission apparatus and reception apparatus can indicate whether to support out-band communication thereof on the basis of an out-band flag. The wireless power transmission apparatus can request the wireless power reception apparatus to start a handover by using a bit pattern requesting the handover. The handover procedure to out-band may be performed in a negotiation phase or may be performed in a separate handover phase. Information for establishing an out-band communication connection can be transmitted from the wireless power reception apparatus to the wireless power transmission apparatus through in-band communication. Also, even after the handover to the out-band is completed, it is possible to periodically or intermittently perform the in-band communication in a power transmission phase to detect a swap of the wireless power reception apparatus.
