Claims26
A method for controlling wireless power at an electronic device, the method comprising:
- receiving power information from a receiver within a charging area;
- determining whether power is available to the receiver, based on the power information;
- and
- if the power is available to the receiver, transmitting, to the receiver, a response indicating that the power is available to the receiver.
An electronic device for controlling wireless power, the electronic device comprising:
- a transceiver;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- control to the transceiver to receive power information from a receiver within a charging area,
- determine whether power is available to the receiver, based on the power information, and
- control the transceiver to transmit, to the receiver, a response indicating that the power is available to the receiver, if the power is available to the receiver.
A method for receiving wireless power at an electronic device, the method comprising:
- transmitting power information to a transmitter;
- if it is determined that there is available power of the transmitter for charging the electronic device, based on the power information, receiving a response indicating that there is the available power of the transmitter for charging the electronic device;
- and
- receiving the power from the transmitter.
An electronic device for receiving wireless power, the electronic device comprising:
- a transceiver configured to transmit power information to a transmitter;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- if it is determined that there is available power of the transmitter for charging the electronic device, based on the power information, control the transreceiver to receive a response indicating that there is the available power of the transmitter for charging the electronic device, and
- control the transceiver to receive the available power from the transmitter.
