    Abstract: Provided are an apparatus and method for performing foreign object detection in a wireless power transfer system. The present specification discloses a method comprising receiving a digital ping from the wireless power transmitter; transmitting an identification and configuration packets to the wireless power transmitter; transmitting a foreign object detection (FOD) state packet which indicates a reference Q factor of the wireless power receiver to the wireless power transmitter; and receiving wireless power through magnetic coupling from the wireless power transmitter based on the foreign object detection result of the wireless power transmitter using the reference Q factor. Irrespective of individual characteristics of a wireless power receiver, accuracy and reliability of detecting a foreign object may be improved.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a foreign object detection method of a wireless power transmitter, and the method may include acquiring the frequency characteristics of a current flowing through a coil within the wireless power transmitter, comparing a peak frequency with a resonant frequency, and detecting whether or not the foreign object is placed on the transmitter through the comparison. In addition, the present disclosure relates to an interference avoidance method of a wireless power transmitter, and the method may include connecting a head unit of an automobile in a wireless manner through a communication device, receiving a first signal for avoiding interference from the head unit to stop wireless charging or change a first frequency band to a second frequency band, and receiving a second signal from the head unit to resume the wireless charging or change to the first frequency band.

    Abstract: The present specification provides a wireless power reception apparatus comprising: a power pick-up unit configured to receive wireless power from a wireless power transmission apparatus by magnetic coupling with the wireless power transmission apparatus and convert an AC signal generated by the wireless power into a DC signal; a communication/control unit configured to receive the DC signal from the power pick-up unit and control the wireless power; and a load configured to receive the DC signal from the power pick-up unit. When foreign material is detected before power transmission, wireless power transmission is sustained on the basis of a safe basic power profile of 5 W or less, without interrupting power transmission, and thus, a charging delay can be prevented and the accuracy and reliability of detection of foreign material can be increased despite individual characteristics of the wireless power reception apparatus.
