Abstract

A wireless power transmission method of a wireless power transmitter for transmitting power to a wireless power receiver according to the embodiment includes transmitting a connection signal for identifying the wireless power receiver, identifying the wireless power receiver by receiving a response signal to the connection signal from the wireless power receiver, negotiating a power transmission condition with the identified wireless power receiver and transmitting the power to the identified wireless power receiver according to the negotiated power transmission condition.

Claims (26)

1. A wireless power transmission method of a wireless power transmitter using a resonance coil via a resonance frequency band for transmitting power to a plurality of wireless power receivers, the wireless power transmission method comprising:

detecting a first wireless power receiver during transmitting the power to a second wireless power receiver via the resonance frequency band;

transmitting state information of the wireless power transmitter to the second wireless power receiver via a specific frequency band, wherein the state information of the wireless power transmitter includes an available amount of power of the power transmission for the second wireless power receiver;

receiving specific state information from the second wireless power receiver via the specific frequency band, wherein the specific state information comprises a demanded amount of power of the second wireless power receiver, and wherein the demanded amount of power is adjusted by the second wireless power receiver within the available amount of power of the wireless power transmitter; and

transmitting the power adjusted based on the specific state information to the first wireless power receiver and the second wireless power receiver via the resonance frequency band being a resonance-coupled frequency between the wireless power transmitter and the first wireless power receiver and being different from the specific frequency band.

2. The wireless power transmission method of claim 1 , wherein the detecting of the first wireless power receiver comprises:

transmitting a connection signal for identifying the first wireless power receiver; and

identifying the first wireless power receiver by receiving a response signal corresponding to the connection signal from the first wireless power receiver.

3. The wireless power transmission method of claim 1 , wherein

the state information of the wireless power transmitter includes a dedicated identification number given for the second wireless power receiver.

4. The wireless power transmission method of claim 1 , further comprising:

checking if an available amount of power of the wireless power transmitter for the first wireless power receiver is changed; and

transmitting the state information of the wireless power transmitter to the first wireless power receiver via the specific frequency band,

wherein the state information of the wireless power transmitter includes the changed available amount of power of the power transmission for the first wireless power receiver.

5. The wireless power transmission method of claim 4 , wherein the available amount of power of the power transmission for the second wireless power receiver and the changed available amount of power of the power transmission for the first wireless power receiver have a different ratio of the power transmission for the first wireless power receiver and the second wireless power receiver.

6. A wireless power transmitter using a resonance coil via a resonance frequency band for transmitting power to a plurality of wireless power receivers, the wireless power transmitter comprising:

an identifying unit configured to detect a first wireless power receiver during transmitting the power to a second wireless power receiver via the resonance frequency band;

a negotiation unit configured to transmit state information of the wireless power transmitter to the second wireless power receiver via a specific frequency band, and receive specific state information from the second wireless power receiver via the specific frequency band, wherein the state information of the wireless power transmitter includes an available amount of power of the power transmission for the second wireless power receiver, wherein the specific state information comprises a demanded amount of power of the second wireless power receiver, and wherein the demanded amount of power is adjusted by the second wireless power receiver within the available amount of power of the wireless power transmitter; and

a transmitting unit configured to transmit the power adjusted based on the specific state information to the first wireless power receiver and the second wireless power receiver via the resonance frequency band being a resonance-coupled frequency between the wireless power transmitter and the first wireless power receiver and being different from the specific frequency band.

7. The wireless power transmitter of claim 6 , wherein

the state information of the wireless power transmitter includes a dedicated identification number given for the second wireless power receiver.

8. The wireless power transmitter of claim 6 , wherein the negotiation unit is further configured to:

check if an available amount of power of the wireless power transmitter for the first wireless power receiver is changed, and

transmit the state information of the wireless power transmitter to the first wireless power receiver via the specific frequency band, and

wherein the state information of the wireless power transmitter includes the changed available amount of power of the power transmission for the first wireless power receiver.

9. The wireless power transmitter of claim 8 , wherein the available amount of power of the power transmission for the second wireless power receiver and the changed available amount of power of the power transmission for the first wireless power receiver have a different ratio of the power transmission for the first wireless power receiver and the second wireless power receiver.
