Wireless charging method and apparatus thereof
First Claim
1. An electronic device comprising:
- a housing;
a wireless charging coil disposed inside the housing;
a fan disposed inside the housing and configured to cool the wireless charging coil;
a temperature sensor configured to detect a temperature of the wireless charging coil;
a wireless charging circuit comprising the wireless charging coil and configured to transmit power wirelessly to an external device via the wireless charging coil; and
a control circuit electrically connected to the fan, the temperature sensor, and the wireless charging circuit, and configured to;
receive, from the external device, a signal from the external device for indicating that a high-speed charge among the high-speed charge and a normal-speed charge is supported by the external device, andcontrol, based on the signal, the fan based on at least one of the signal or the data to be turned on or off.
