Abstract:
A method and power transmitter for efficiently controlling power transmission to one or more power receivers in a wireless multi-power transmission system are provided. The method includes performing, when a predetermined measurement cycle arrives, a load measurement; comparing a current load measurement value with a previous load measurement value; determining whether the current load measurement value is increased over the previous load measurement value by at least as much as a first predetermined threshold; gradually increasing, when the load measurement value is increased over the previous load measurement value by at least as much as the first threshold, a transmission power value until a request for a subscription to a wireless multi-power transmission network from a power reception target within a predetermined time limit; and stopping, when the request for the subscription is not received before the time limit is exceeded, power transmission to the power reception target.
Abstract:
A method of transmitting a signal by a wireless power transmitter in a wireless charging system, wireless power transmitter, and a wireless power receiver are provided. The method includes transmitting a first signal; transmitting a second signal; detecting a load change during a period in which the second signal is transmitted; and extending a transmission period of the second signal based on the detected load change. The wireless power transmitter includes a power transmission unit configured to transmit a first signal and a second signal; a sensing unit configured to detect a load change during a period in which the second signal is transmitted; and a controller configured to extend a transmission period of the second signal based on the detected load change.

A method and apparatus are provided for controlling power in a wireless power transmission/reception system. The method includes receiving power information from a receiver entering a charging area; determining whether power can be supplied to the receiver, based on the power information; and if the power can be supplied to the receiver, transmitting, to the receiver, a response indicating that the power can be supplied to the receiver.

A differential load detection apparatus and method are provided for detecting a wireless power receiver in a wireless power network. The differential load detection method includes transmitting first detection power for detecting the wireless power receiver, transmitting second detection power when an impedance variation greater than a first predetermined threshold value and equal to or less than a second threshold value is detected, and waiting for a reception of an advertisement signal according to the transmission of the second detection power from the wireless power receiver.
Abstract:
A method for controlling an abnormal state of a wireless Power Receiving Unit (PRU) is provided. The method includes measuring a temperature by a period shorter than a previous measurement period when a temperature measured by the wireless PRU in response to a transmission of power from a wireless Power Transmitting Unit (PTU) is higher than a temperature required to be monitored; determining whether the measured temperature is higher than a temperature at which a load switch connected to a charging unit is turned off if the measured temperature is equal to or higher than the temperature required to be monitored; and turning off the load switch if the measured temperature is higher than the temperature at which the load switch is turned off.

A method for controlling a wireless power transmitter that transmits charging power to a wireless power receiver is provided. The method includes driving the wireless power transmitter; determining whether latch fault mode entry conditions are met, in which the wireless power transmitter is allowed to enter a latch fault mode in which the wireless power transmitter periodically applies first power having a first power value in a first cycle; and if the latch fault mode entry conditions are met, periodically applying the first power in the first cycle.
Abstract:
A method for setting a sleep mode in a wireless power receiver that may receive wireless charging power from a wireless power transmitter is provided, including receiving wireless charging power from the wireless power transmitter, measuring a charging voltage based on the received wireless charging power, if the measured voltage reaches a preset first voltage, measuring a duration for which the measured voltage is maintained, and transitioning to the sleep mode if the duration exceeds a preset time.

Disclosed is a method for controlling a wireless power receiver including a charging unit. The method includes receiving wireless power, rectifying the received wireless power and outputting Direct Current (DC) wireless power, and determining whether the voltage of the rectified wireless power is greater than or equal to the allowable voltage of the charging unit.
Abstract:
A method of transmitting a signal by a wireless power transmitter in a wireless charging system, wireless power transmitter, and a wireless power receiver are provided. The method includes receiving, from a wireless power transmitter, a first beacon power for a first duration time in every first period; receiving, from the wireless power transmitter, a second beacon power for a second duration time in every second period; if the wireless power receiver determines that an extension of the second beacon power is required, generating load changes while receiving the second beacon power for the second duration time; in response to the generated load changes, continually receiving, from the wireless power transmitter, the second beacon power until a predetermined third duration time, wherein the predetermined third duration time is determined before the second beacon power is transmitted by the wireless power transmitter; and transmitting an advertisement signal to the wireless power transmitter while receiving the second beacon power for the predetermined third duration time.
