Wireless power transmitting device and method for controlling the same

A method of controlling a wireless power transmitting device, comprising:

• transmitting a plurality of first pilot signals through a plurality of antennas of the wireless power transmitting device towards a plurality of first directions respectively;
• receiving a plurality of first reflected signals from a plurality of second directions respectively, wherein each of the plurality of first reflected signals is generated according to reflection of each of the plurality of first pilot signals;
• identifying a first object and a direction of the first object based on the received plurality of first reflected signals;
• receiving a first communication signal responsive to at least one of the plurality of first pilot signals, from the first object, and identifying that the first object is a first wireless power receiving device based on the first communication signal;
• and
• based on identifying that the first object is the first wireless power receiving device, controlling the wireless power transmitting device to transmit a charging power through the plurality of antennas towards the direction of the first object identified based on the received plurality of first reflected signals.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing commands, the commands configured to be executed by at least one processor to cause the at least one processor to perform at least one operation, the at least one operation comprising:

• transmitting a plurality of first pilot signals through a plurality of antennas of the wireless power transmitting device towards a plurality of first directions respectively;
• receiving a plurality of first reflected signals from a plurality of second directions respectively, wherein each of the plurality of first reflected signals is generated according to reflection of each of the plurality of first pilot signals;
• identifying a first object and a direction of the first object based on the received plurality of first reflected signals;
• receiving a first communication signal responsive to at least one of the plurality of first pilot signals, from the first object, and identifying that the communication signal indicates that the first object is a first wireless power receiving device based on the first communication signal;
• and
• based on identifying that the first object is the first wireless power receiving device, controlling the wireless power transmitting device to transmit a charging power through the plurality of antennas towards the direction of the first object identified based on the received plurality of first reflect signals.
