Method and apparatus for controlling wireless charging during mode transition of a wireless power receiving device
First Claim
1. A method of controlling a wireless power receiver, the method comprising:
- receiving, through a power receiving circuit, a first power for initiating a communication controller unit from a wireless power transmitter;
establishing a communication connection with the wireless power transmitter while receiving the first power;
performing communication with the wireless power transmitter;
receiving, through the power receiving circuit, a second power for charging from the wireless power transmitter;
transmitting, to the wireless power transmitter, a message indicating a mode transition of the communication controller unit;
terminating the communication with the wireless power transmitter;
performing the mode transition for a time period while receiving the second power; and
resuming the communication with the wireless power transmitter, after performing the mode transition.

Abstract
Methods and apparatuses for performing wireless charging are disclosed. One of the disclosed apparatuses is a wireless power receiver which can receive charging power from a wireless power transmitter. When the wireless power receiver receives, through a power receiving circuit, from a wireless power transmitter, a first power for initiating a communication unit; establishes a communication connection with the wireless power transmitter while receiving the first power; performs, by the communication unit, communication with the wireless power transmitter; receives, through the power receiving circuit, from the wireless power transmitter, a second power for charging; transmits, by the communication unit, to the wireless power transmitter, a message indicating a mode transition of the communication unit; terminates the communication with the wireless power transmitter; performs the mode transition for a time period while receiving the second power; and resumes the communication with the wireless power transmitter, after performing the mode transition.
