Abstract

An apparatus for transmitting power wirelessly includes a power transmitter configured to transmit power wirelessly to an apparatus for receiving power wirelessly, and an identification information manager configured to transmit first identification information allocated to the apparatus for transmitting power wirelessly to other devices.

Claims (42)

1. An apparatus for transmitting power wirelessly comprising:

a power transmitter configured to transmit power wirelessly to an external apparatus; and

an identification information manager configured to:

transmit first identification information allocated to the apparatus for transmitting power wirelessly to an application server,

obtain, from a mobile terminal, second identification information allocated to the mobile terminal using a short distance wireless communications transceiver, and

transmit the second identification information to the application server.

2. The apparatus for transmitting power wirelessly of claim 1 , wherein the first identification information is associated with zone information regarding a zone in which the apparatus for transmitting power wirelessly is located.

3. The apparatus for transmitting power wirelessly of claim 1 , further comprising a power charging controller configured to authenticate an authority for wireless charging of the external apparatus.

4. The apparatus for transmitting power wirelessly of claim 3 , wherein the identification information manager is further configured to transmit the first identification information to the external apparatus in response to the authority for the wireless charging of the external apparatus being authenticated.

5. The apparatus for transmitting power wirelessly of claim 3 , wherein the power charging controller is further configured to perform an authentication using any one or any combination of communications service provider information, terminal information, user information, and remaining power information of the mobile terminal connected to the external apparatus.

6. The apparatus for transmitting power wirelessly of claim 3 , wherein the power charging controller is further configured to determine the authority or a provision time for the wireless charging of the external apparatus using authentication information transmitted by an application server having received the first identification information.

7. The apparatus for transmitting power wirelessly of claim 1 , further comprising:

a communications transceiver connectable to an application server; and

a service data manager configured to receive location service data associated with a zone in which the apparatus for transmitting power wirelessly is located from the application server.

8. The apparatus for transmitting power wirelessly of claim 1 , wherein the short distance wireless communications transceiver is wirelessly connectable to the mobile terminal in which the external apparatus is mounted or that is connectable to the external apparatus.

9. An apparatus for receiving power wirelessly connectable to a mobile terminal, the apparatus for receiving power wirelessly comprising:

a power receiver configured to wirelessly receive power transmitted by an apparatus for transmitting power wirelessly; and

an identification information transmitter configured to receive first identification information associated with a location of the apparatus for transmitting power wirelessly from the apparatus for transmitting power wirelessly and transmit the first identification information to the mobile terminal.

10. The apparatus for receiving power wirelessly of claim 9 , wherein the identification information transmitter is further configured to use an identifier of the apparatus for wirelessly transmitting power used in a protocol for transmitting and wirelessly receiving power as the first identification information.

11. The apparatus for receiving power wirelessly of claim 9 , further comprising a short distance wireless communications transceiver; wherein the identification information transmitter is further configured to receive the first identification information from the apparatus for transmitting power wirelessly using the short distance wireless communications unit.

12. The apparatus for receiving power wirelessly of claim 9 , wherein the identification information transmitter is further configured to obtain second identification information allocated to the mobile terminal and transmit the second identification information to the apparatus for transmitting power wirelessly.

13. A mobile terminal comprising:

a power charger connectable to an apparatus for receiving power wirelessly and configured to receive power from the apparatus for receiving power wirelessly and charge a power storage of the mobile terminal using the received power; and

a controller configured to obtain first identification information regarding a zone in which an apparatus for transmitting power wirelessly is located and transmit second identification information allocated to the mobile terminal or the first identification information to an application server.

14. The mobile terminal of claim 13 , wherein the controller is further configured to receive location service data associated with a zone in which the mobile terminal is located from the application server.

15. A mobile terminal comprising:

a power charger connectable to an apparatus for receiving power wirelessly and configured to receive power from the apparatus for receiving power wirelessly and charge a power storage of the mobile terminal using the received power; and

a controller configured to transmit first identification information allocated to the mobile terminal to an apparatus for transmitting power wirelessly and receive location service data associated with a zone in which the mobile terminal is located from the apparatus for transmitting power wirelessly.

16. An application server comprising:

a memory configured to store location data in which first identification information allocated to an apparatus for transmitting power wirelessly and zone information regarding a zone in which the apparatus for transmitting power wirelessly is located are associated with each other; and

a location service transmitter configured to determine a location of a mobile terminal receiving power from the apparatus for transmitting power wirelessly using the zone information.

17. The application server of claim 16 , wherein the location service transmitter is further configured to use the first identification information and second identification information allocated to the mobile terminal to determine the zone in which the apparatus for transmitting power wirelessly is located as the location of the mobile terminal.

18. The application server of claim 16 , wherein the location service transmitter is further configured to transmit location service data associated with the determined location of the mobile terminal to either one or both of the mobile terminal and the apparatus for transmitting power wirelessly.

19. A non-transitory computer-readable medium, of a mobile terminal, comprising instructions that, when executed, cause one or more processors to perform:

a function of obtaining first identification information associated with a location of an apparatus for transmitting power wirelessly;

a function of managing second identification information allocated to the mobile terminal; and

a function of transmitting either one or both of the first identification information and the second identification information to another device.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 19 , further comprising a function of receiving and displaying location service data associated with a location of the mobile terminal.

21. A location-based service system comprising:

an apparatus for transmitting power wirelessly configured to transmit power wirelessly to an apparatus for receiving power wirelessly;

a mobile terminal configured to receive power received by the apparatus for receiving power wirelessly; and

an application server configured to identify a location of the apparatus for transmitting power wirelessly, and transmit location-based service data to the mobile terminal, the location-based service data being based on the identified location of the apparatus for transmitting power wirelessly.
