1. An apparatus comprising:
- power circuitry;
a battery; and
a processor configured to;
identify, using the power circuitry, an external electronic device configured to provide a wireless charging service for transmitting a wireless power;
receive a request for information associated with charging from the identified external electronic device;
in response to receiving the request, transmit, using the power circuitry, state information of the apparatus associated with the charging to the external electronic device, wherein the state information includes information indicating whether or not the apparatus is wirelessly chargeable;
receive, using the power circuitry, a power from the external electronic device based at least in part on a determination that the apparatus is wirelessly chargeable; and
charge the battery using at least part of the power received from the external electronic device.

Abstract
A method for wirelessly charging a portable terminal using a Radio Frequency (RF) is provided. A charging system detects one or more portable terminals within a predetermined area, and preferably requests information needed for charging to the one or more portable terminals via short-range communication, receives the information in response needed for charging from each of the one or more portable terminals. A portable terminal to be wirelessly charged from among the one or more portable terminals is selected, based on the received information needed for charging, and the charging system transmits a predetermined RF for charging to the selected portable terminal.

15. An apparatus for providing a wireless charging service, the apparatus comprising:
-
power circuitry; and a processor adapted to; transmit a request for information associated with charging to a plurality of external electronic devices; receive state information associated with charging from the plurality of external electronic devices in a specified range from the apparatus with respect to the wireless charging service, wherein the state information includes information indicating which ones of the plurality of electronic devices are wirelessly chargeable; determine a power to be transmitted to each of the ones of the plurality of external electronic devices that are wirelessly chargeable based at least in part on the state information, wherein the determined power is different according to the ones of the plurality of external electronic devices that are wirelessly chargeable; and transmit, using the power circuitry, the determined power to the ones of the plurality of external electronic devices that are wirelessly chargeable. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19)
