Abstract
A power charging system is provided. The power charging system may have an information processing apparatus having a first communication unit and a power receiving unit, and an external apparatus having a second communication unit and a power transmission unit. The second communication unit may be configured to wirelessly communicate with the first communication unit using a first carrier wave having a first frequency and the power transmission unit may be configured to wirelessly transmit power to the power receiving unit using a second carrier wave having a second frequency, the second frequency being different from the first frequency.
Claims8
An information processing apparatus, comprising:
- a resonance circuit configured to:
- communicate with an external apparatus by a first carrier wave of a first frequency;
- receive, via the communication of the first frequency, frequency information from the external apparatus;
- and
- wirelessly receive power from the external apparatus based on the received frequency information, and
- a setting unit configured to change a resonance frequency of the resonance circuit from the first frequency to a second frequency for the wireless reception of the power, wherein
- the resonance frequency is changed to the second frequency based on frequency information communicated from the external apparatus by the first carrier wave of the first frequency, and
- the frequency information indicates the second frequency.
A method, comprising:
- communicating, by a resonance circuit, with an external apparatus by a carrier wave of a first frequency;
- receiving, by the resonance circuit and via the communication of the first frequency, frequency information from the external apparatus;
- wirelessly receiving, by the resonance circuit, power from the external apparatus based on the received frequency information;
- and
- changing, by a setting unit, a resonance frequency of the resonance circuit from the first frequency to a second frequency for the wireless reception of the power, wherein
- the resonance frequency is changed to the second frequency based on frequency information communicated from the external apparatus by the carrier wave of the first frequency, and
- the frequency information indicates the second frequency.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon computer-executable instructions that, when executed by an information processing apparatus, cause the information processing apparatus to execute operations, the operations comprising:
- communicating, by a resonance circuit of the information processing apparatus, with an external apparatus by a carrier wave of a first frequency;
- receiving, by the resonance circuit and via the communication of the first frequency, frequency information from the external apparatus;
- wirelessly receiving, by the resonance circuit, power from the external apparatus based on the received frequency information;
- and
- changing, by a setting unit of the information processing apparatus, a resonance frequency of the resonance circuit from the first frequency to a second frequency for the wireless reception of the power, wherein
- the resonance frequency is changed to the second frequency based on frequency information communicated from the external apparatus by the carrier wave of the first frequency, and
- the frequency information indicates the second frequency.
