Abstract

Provided are: a wireless power transfer method performed in a wireless power transfer system by a wireless power transmitter; and a device using same. The method: performs first authentication with a wireless power receiver in a power transfer phase related to transferring the wireless power; receives authentication token information in the power transfer phase from the wireless power receiver after or during the first authentication; and performs second authentication with the wireless power receiver in a new negotiation phase on the basis of the authentication token information after leaving the power transfer phase.

Claims (37)

1. A method for transferring a wireless power in a wireless power transfer system, the method performed by a wireless power transmitter and comprising:

performing first authentication with a wireless power receiver in a power transfer phase related to transferring the wireless power;

receiving authentication token information from the wireless power receiver after or during the first authentication in the power transfer phase; and

performing a second authentication with the wireless power receiver based on the authentication token information in a new negotiation phase after exiting the power transfer phase.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the wireless power transmitter receives an end power transfer (EPT) packet from the wireless power receiver after the first authentication, and

wherein the wireless power transmitter exits the power transfer phase based on the reception of the EPT packet.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein, after exiting the power transfer phase, the wireless power transmitter performs operation for a new ping phase, operation for a new configuration phase, operation for the new negotiation phase, and operation for a new power transfer phase.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the wireless power transmitter omits authentication in the new power transfer phase based on the second authentication being completed.

5. The method of claim 3 , wherein the wireless power transmitter transfers the wireless power based on a first power mode in the power transfer phase, and

wherein the wireless power transmitter transfers the wireless power based on a second power mode in the new power transfer phase.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the wireless power transmitter transfers the wireless power to the wireless power receiver based on a higher power in the second power mode than in the first power mode.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the wireless power transmitter receives a request packet for the authentication token information in the new negotiation phase, and

wherein the wireless power transmitter transmits the authentication token information to the wireless power receiver based on receiving the request packet.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein based on receiving the authentication token information after the first authentication, the wireless power transmitter receives the authentication token information through a specific packet in the power transfer phase.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein based on receiving the authentication token information during the first authentication, the wireless power transmitter receives the authentication token information through a challenge packet related to the first authentication.

10. A wireless power transmitter, comprising:

a converter related to transferring wireless power to a wireless power receiver; and

a communicator/controller related to controlling the transfer of the wireless power,

wherein the wireless power transmitter:

performs first authentication with the wireless power receiver in a power transfer phase related to transferring the wireless power;

receives authentication token information from the wireless power receiver after or during the first authentication in the power transfer phase; and

performs a second authentication with the wireless power receiver based on the authentication token information in a new negotiation phase after exiting the power transfer phase.

11. A method for receiving wireless power in a wireless power transfer system, the method performed by a wireless power receiver and comprising:

performing first authentication with a wireless power transmitter in a power transfer phase related to receiving the wireless power;

transmitting authentication token information to the wireless power transmitter after or during the first authentication in the power transfer phase; and

performing a second authentication with the wireless power transmitter based on the authentication token information in a new negotiation phase after exiting the power transfer phase.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the wireless power receiver transmits an end power transfer (EPT) packet to the wireless power transmitter after the first authentication, and

wherein the wireless power receiver exits the power transfer phase based on the transmission of the EPT packet.

13. The method of claim 11 , wherein, after exiting the power transfer phase, the wireless power receiver performs operation for a new ping phase, operation for a new configuration phase, operation for the new negotiation phase, and operation for a new power transfer phase.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the wireless power receiver omits authentication in the new power transfer phase based on the second authentication being completed.

15. The method of claim 13 , wherein the wireless power receiver receives the wireless power based on a first power mode in the power transfer phase, and

wherein the wireless power receiver receives the wireless power based on a second power mode in the new power transfer phase.

16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the wireless power receiver receives the wireless power from the wireless power receiver based on a higher power in the second power mode than in the first power mode.

17. The method of claim 11 , wherein the wireless power receiver transmits a request packet for the authentication token information in the new negotiation phase, and

wherein the wireless power receiver receives the authentication token information from the wireless power transmitter based on transmitting the request packet.

18. The method of claim 11 , wherein based on transmitting the authentication token information after the first authentication, the wireless power receiver transmits the authentication token information through a specific packet in the power transfer phase.

19. The method of claim 11 , wherein based on transmitting the authentication token information during the first authentication, the wireless power receiver transmits the authentication token information through a challenge packet related to the first authentication.
