    摘要: A charging stand placeable on a charging surface has a receiver circuit in a base configured to receive power from a wireless charging device through a receiving coil in the base. A support of the charging stand has a transmitting coil configured to transmit power to a chargeable device mounted on the support, and a power transfer circuit receives an induced current from the receiving coil in the base and provides a charging current to the transmitting coil. An energy storage device is configured to receive the induced current or a rectified current. A transmitter circuit is configured to provide the charging current to the transmitting coil. A sensor is configured to detect whether the chargeable device is mounted on the support, and a controller may be configured to power-down the power transfer circuit when chargeable device is not mounted on the support.

    摘要: Systems, methods and apparatus for wireless charging are disclosed. A charging device has a plurality of charging cells provided on a charging surface, a charging circuit and a controller. The controller may be configured to cause the charging circuit to provide a charging current to a resonant circuit when a receiving device is placed on the charging surface, provide a measurement slot by causing the charging circuit to decrease or terminate the charging current for a period of time and determine whether the receiving device has been removed from the charging surface based on measurement of a characteristic of the resonant circuit during the measurement slot. The characteristic of the resonant circuit may be representative of electromagnetic coupling between a transmitting coil in the resonant circuit and a receiving coil in the receiving device.
