Wireless power transmitting device and method for controlling the same

A wireless power transmitting device, comprising:

• a plurality of antennas;
• a plurality of communication antennas;
• and
• a processor configured to:
• receive, through each of the plurality of communication antennas, a first communication signal from an electronic device,
• determine a direction toward which the electronic device is positioned based on each of a plurality of time points for reception of the first communication signal by each of the plurality of communication antennas,
• control to transmit, through the plurality of antennas, the power to the electronic device using the direction toward which the electronic device is positioned, and
• send a second communication signal including the direction toward which the electronic device is positioned to another wireless power transmitting device.

An electronic device, comprising:

• a power reception antennas;
• a communication circuit;
• and
• a processor configured to:
• control to receive, through the power reception antennas, power from a first wireless power transmitting device,
• send a handoff request signal to the first wireless power transmitting device through the communication circuit upon determining that each of at least one of a current, a voltage, and a power at a point of the electronic device is less than each of at least one of a preset threshold current, a preset threshold voltage, and a preset threshold power, and
• control to receive, through the power reception antennas, power from a second wireless power transmitting device that is different from the first wireless power transmitting device after sending the handoff request signal.
