20140232199 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DETECTING FOREIGN OBJECT IN WIRELESS POWER TRANSMITTING SYSTEM - The present invention provides an apparatus and method for detecting a foreign object in a wireless power transmitting system. The wireless power transmitting apparatus measures an initial transmission power transmitted from the primary core block and performs foreign object detection on the basis of the initial transmission power, once it is found that an initial voltage of an output terminal of the wireless power receiving apparatus connected to an external load is within the range of a reference voltage. By performing foreign object detection while a wireless power receiving apparatus is in an initial setting completion state, before the output of the wireless power receiving apparatus is turned on, delay in detecting foreign objects may be reduced, and a risk due to heating of a foreign object may be avoided. | 08-21-2014 |
20140091639 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DETECTING FOREIGN OBJECTS IN WIRELESS POWER TRANSMISSION SYSTEM - Aspects of the present invention relate to an apparatus and method for detecting foreign objects in a wireless power transmission system. This specification provides a wireless power reception apparatus for detecting foreign objects, including a power measurement unit for generating required power information indicative of required power for the wireless power reception apparatus, sending the required power information to a wireless power transmission apparatus, and measuring power induced from the wireless power transmission apparatus and a secondary coil for receiving the power induced from the wireless power transmission apparatus. In accordance with the present invention, foreign objects intervened between the wireless power transmission apparatus and the wireless power reception apparatus are recognized, and a user removes the foreign objects. Accordingly, damage to a device attributable to foreign objects can be prevented. | 04-03-2014 |
20130335016 | NON-CONTACT POWER CHARGING SYSTEM AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF - A non-contact power charging, in which power transmission can be interrupted when foreign materials are deposited on a charge plate of the non-contact power charging system. A charging operation can be continuously maintained at a stable voltage even if a non-contact power receiving apparatus moves by touching or displacement on the charge plate of the non-contact power charging system in the charging operation. Charging efficiency is improved. | 12-19-2013 |
20130169057 | WIRELESS POWER TRANSMISSION APPARATUS - Provided is a wireless power transmission apparatus for wirelessly transmitting the power to portable electronic appliances using power or batteries charging power and supplying operation power to the portable electronic appliances. The wireless power transmission apparatus includes first and second source resonators, which are included inside a plurality of resonator bodies and which generates and wirelessly transmits the resonant power to a target resonator. The resonator bodies are formed to be folded to each other on an axis of a hinge. | 07-04-2013 |
