Abstract
A stationary induction charging device configured to inductively interact with a mobile induction charging device of a motor vehicle during a charging operation for wireless power transmission includes a positioning device configured to generate a positioning signal for positioning the mobile induction charging device to the stationary induction charging device. The stationary induction charging device further includes an activation interface configured to at least partially activate or deactivate the positioning device upon receiving a corresponding signal from a triggering device.

1-15. (canceled)
A stationary induction charging device configured to inductively interact with a mobile induction charging device of a motor vehicle during a charging operation for wireless power transmission, the stationary induction charging device comprising:
- a positioning device configured to generate a positioning signal for positioning the mobile induction charging device to the stationary induction charging device, and
- an activation interface configured to at least partially activate or deactivate the positioning device upon receiving a corresponding signal from a triggering device.
A mobile induction charging device for a motor vehicle, configured to interact with a stationary induction charging device during a charging operation for wireless power transmission, the mobile induction charging device comprising:
- a receiver for receiving a positioning signal from the stationary induction charging device.
A triggering device comprising:
- a wireless communication interface configured to communicate with an activation interface of a stationary induction charging device, and, via the activation interface, to activate a positioning device of the stationary induction charging device when detecting that a motor vehicle is approaching and/or to deactivate the positioning device of the stationary induction charging device when a mobile induction charging device is positioned relative to the stationary induction charging device, when the stationary induction charging device is in a charging mode, and/or when no motor vehicle is approaching.
