Detection of object location and orientation on a wireless charge mat

A wireless power transmitting device configured to transmit wireless power to an electronic device, wherein the electronic device has an inductive power transfer coil and at least one resonant structure surrounding the inductive power transfer coil, wherein the wireless power transmitting device comprises:

• a detection system configured to detect the inductive power transfer coil of the electronic device and the at least one resonant structure surrounding the inductive power transfer coil of the electronic device;
• and
• circuitry configured to transmit wireless power to the electronic device via the inductive power transfer coil in response to the detection system detecting the inductive power transfer coil of the electronic device and the at least one resonant structure surrounding the inductive power transfer coil of the electronic device.

A wireless power transmitting device configured to transmit wireless power to an electronic device having an inductive coil and at least one non-charging structure surrounding the inductive coil, comprising:

• a detection system configured to detect the inductive coil and the at least one non-charging structure surrounding the inductive coil;
• and
• circuitry configured to transmit wireless power to charge a battery in the electronic device in response to the detection system detecting the inductive coil and the at least one non-charging structure.
