Wireless power receiver and control method thereof
A wireless power receiver according to an embodiment wirelessly receives power from a wireless power transmitter. The wireless power receiver includes a printed circuit board; a receiving coil disposed on the printed circuit board, the receiving coil configured to receive power from the wireless power transmitter in a charging mode; a short-range communication antenna disposed on the printed circuit board surrounding the receiving coil, the short-range communication antenna configured to transmit and receive information in a communication mode; a shielding unit disposed on the receiving coil and the short-range communication antenna; and a controller configured to change an operating mode of the wireless power receiver into the charging mode or the communication mode.
1. A wireless power receiver which wirelessly receives power from a wireless power transmitter, the wireless power receiver comprising:
a printed circuit board;
a receiving coil disposed on the printed circuit board,
the receiving coil configured to receive power from the wireless power transmitter in a charging mode;
a short-range communication antenna disposed on the printed circuit board surrounding the receiving coil,
the short-range communication antenna configured to transmit and receive information in a communication mode;
a shielding unit disposed on the receiving coil and the short-range communication antenna; and
a controller configured to change an operating mode of the wireless power receiver into the charging mode or the communication mode.
2. The wireless power receiver of claim 1 , further comprising a switch is connected to the short-range communication antenna and receives an open or short signal from the controller.
3. The wireless power receiver of claim 2 , wherein the controller opens the switch when the power is received and shorts the switch when the power is not received.
4. The wireless power receiver of claim 2 , wherein the controller configured to determine, when the power is received, whether the amount of the received power is more than a threshold value, to control to the switch to be short when the amount of the received power is more than the threshold, and to control to the switch to be open when the amount of the received power is less than the threshold.
5. The wireless power receiver of claim 1 , wherein the short-range communication antenna includes an NFC (Near Field Communication) antenna.
6. The wireless power receiver of claim 1 , further comprising a wireless charging circuit connected to the receiving coil.
7. The wireless power receiver of claim 1 , further comprising a short-range communication module connected to the short-range communication antenna.
8. A wireless power receiver which wirelessly receives power from a wireless power transmitter, the wireless power receiver comprising:
a receiving coil disposed in a reception space of a printed circuit board,
the receiving coil configured to receive power from the wireless power transmitter in a charging mode;
a short-range communication antenna disposed in the printed circuit board surrounding the receiving coil,
the short-range communication antenna configured to transmit and receive information in a communication mode;
a shielding unit disposed on the receiving coil and the short-range communication antenna; and
a controller configured to change an operating mode of the wireless power receiver into the charging mode or the communication mode.
9. The wireless power receiver of claim 8 , further comprising a switch is connected to the short-range communication antenna and receives an open or short signal from the controller.
10. The wireless power receiver of claim 9 , wherein the controller opens the switch when the power is received and shorts the switch when the power is not received.
11. The wireless power receiver of claim 9 , wherein the controller configured to determine, when the power is received, whether the amount of the received power is more than a threshold value, to control to the switch to be short when the amount of the received power is more than the threshold, and to control to the switch to be open when the amount of the received power is less than the threshold.
12. The wireless power receiver of claim 8 , wherein the short-range communication antenna includes an NFC (Near Field Communication) antenna.
13. The wireless power receiver of claim 8 , further comprising a wireless charging circuit connected to the receiving coil.
14. The wireless power receiver of claim 8 , further comprising a short-range communication module connected to the short-range communication antenna.
