Abstract
A method and a wireless power transmitter are provided for transmitting wireless power to at least one wireless power receiver. The method includes setting, by the wireless power transmitter, a search channel to be used for communication with the at least one wireless power receiver; detecting at least one of an energy level and a Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) value of a signal received on the search channel; and determining whether to designate the search channel as a communication channel based on the detection results.
Claims26
A method of a wireless power transmitter for transmitting wireless power to at least one wireless power receiver, the method comprising:
- setting, by the wireless power transmitter, a search channel to be used for communication with the at least one wireless power receiver, wherein the search channel is predetermined according to a first communication scheme;
- detecting at least one of an energy level of a signal received on the search channel and a Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) value of the signal received on the search channel, wherein the signal is generated by another electronic device using a second communication scheme;
- and
- determining whether to designate the search channel as a communication channel based on the detection results,
- wherein the another electronic device is separated from the wireless power transmitter or the wireless power receiver, and
- wherein the first communication scheme is different from the second communication scheme.
A wireless power transmitter for transmitting wireless power to at least one wireless power receiver, the wireless power transmitter comprising:
- a controller that sets a search channel to be used for communication with the at least one wireless power receiver, wherein the search channel is predetermined according to a first communication scheme;
- and
- a communication unit that receives a signal on the search channel, wherein the signal is generated by another electronic device using a second communication scheme;
- wherein the controller detects at least one of an energy level of the received signal and a Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) value of the received signal, and determines whether to designate the search channel as a communication channel, based on the detection results,
- wherein the another electronic device is separated from the wireless power transmitter or the wireless power receiver, and
- wherein the first communication scheme is different from the second communication scheme.
