Abstract

Provided are wireless charging equipment, a terminal, a wireless charging system comprising the same, a control method thereof, and a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having computer program recorded thereon. That is, the present invention performs a charging function based on a charging signal in the corresponding terminal by transmitting the charging signal to only the terminal corresponding to a communication provider or an affiliated company pre-registered in the wireless charging equipment to provide a charging function to only the pre-registered terminal with respect to a terminal to use a wireless charging infrastructure, easily and conveniently perform an authentication function for the terminal without a separate additional component, and improve operation efficiency of the entire wireless charging system.

Claims (20)

1. Wireless charging equipment comprising:

a communication unit configured to communicate based on a Bluetooth low energy (BLE) scheme and receive a Power Receiving Unit (PRU) static parameter and a PRU dynamic parameter added with at least one of an international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI), an international mobile equipment identity (IMEI), or affiliated company information, which are transmitted from a connected terminal; and

a control unit configured to control the communication unit so as to verify the IMSI, the IMEI, and the affiliated company information of the terminal, and further configured to control the communication unit so as to transmit a charging signal generated at a predetermined time interval to the terminal, when at least one of the IMSI, the IMEI, and the affiliated company information included in the received PRU static parameter or PRU dynamic parameter corresponds to pre-registered communication provider information or pre-registered affiliated company information,

wherein, when the field number of the IMSI or the IMEI is larger than the field number usable in the PRU static parameter and the PRU dynamic parameter, the IMSI or the IMEI are divided and added to the PRU static parameter and the PRU dynamic parameter, respectively.

2. The wireless charging equipment of claim 1 , wherein the IMSI includes a mobile country code, a mobile network code, a mobile subscriber identity, and a country mobile subscriber identifier number, and the IMEI includes a unique serial number of the terminal, a manufacturer of the terminal, and model information.

3. The wireless charging equipment of claim 1 , wherein the affiliated company information includes information on an affiliated company subscribed by a user of the terminal.

4. The wireless charging equipment of claim 1 , wherein the control unit determines whether the terminal is a pre-registered communication provider or affiliated company capable of receiving the charging signal based on at least one of the IMSI, the IMEI, and the affiliated company information included in the received PRU static parameter or PRU dynamic parameter.

5. The wireless charging equipment of claim 1 , wherein the control unit performs a predetermined latch fault process when at least one of the IMSI, the IMEI, and the affiliated company information included in the received PRU static parameter or PRU dynamic parameter does not correspond to pre-registered communication provider information or pre-registered affiliated company information.

6. A terminal comprising:

a communication unit configured to communicate based on a BLE scheme and receive a power beacon signal transmitted from wireless charging equipment; and

a control unit configured to control the communication unit so as to verify an IMSI, an IMEI, and affiliated company information of the terminal including the communication unit, add at least one of the verified IMSI, the IMEI, and the affiliated company information to at least one of a PRU static parameter and a PRU dynamic parameter, and transmit the PRU static parameter or the PRU dynamic parameter added with at least one of the IMSI, the IMEI, and the affiliated company information to the wireless charging equipment,

wherein the communication unit is configured to receive charging signal transmitted from the wireless charging equipment when at least one of the IMSI, the IMEI, and the affiliated company information included in the PRU static parameter or PRU dynamic parameter corresponds to pre-registered communication provider information or pre-registered affiliated company information, and

wherein the control unit is configured to divide the verified IMSI or IMEI when the field number of verified IMSI or IMEI is larger than the field number usable in the PRU static parameter and the PRU dynamic parameter and distribute and add the divided IMSI or IMEI to the PRU static parameter and the PRU dynamic parameter, respectively.

7. The terminal of claim 6 , wherein the control unit controls the communication unit so as to transmit a PRU advertisement signal to the wireless charging equipment in response to the power beacon signal transmitted from the wireless charging equipment and communicates with the wireless charging equipment based on the transmitted PRU advertisement signal.

8. The terminal of claim 6 , wherein the control unit adds at least one of the verified IMSI, IMEI, and affiliated company information to a Reserved for Future Use (RFU) field in the PRU static parameter or an RFU field in the PRU dynamic parameter.

9. The terminal of claim 6 , wherein the control unit controls the battery included in the terminal to be charged based on the charging signal transmitted from the wireless charging equipment, after determining that the terminal is the communication provider or affiliated company pre-registered in the wireless charging equipment based on the transmitted PRU static parameter or PRU dynamic parameter.

10. A wireless charging system comprising:

a terminal configured to provide a PRU static parameter and a PRU dynamic parameter added with at least one of an IMSI, an IMEI, and affiliated company information; and

wireless charging equipment configured to verify the IMSI, the IMEI, and the affiliated company information of the terminal, and further configured to transmit a charging signal generated at a predetermined time interval to the terminal, when at least one of the IMSI, the IMEI, and the affiliated company information included in the received PRU static parameter or PRU dynamic parameter provided from the terminal corresponds to pre-registered communication provider information or pre-registered affiliated company information,

wherein the terminal divides the IMSI or IMEI when the field number of IMSI or IMEI is larger than the field number usable in the PRU static parameter and the PRU dynamic parameter and distributes and adds the divided IMSI or IMEI to the PRU static parameter and the PRU dynamic parameter, respectively.
