METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETECTING CHARGER AND METHOD OF OPERATING THE CHARGER
First Claim
1. A method of detecting one of chargers and a transmitting pad connected to the chargers in a charging station in a charger detection apparatus loaded in a vehicle, the method comprising:
- transmitting a detection inducing signal through a receiving pad for wireless charging loaded in the vehicle;
receiving pieces of sensing signal information on the detection inducing signal received at a plurality of transmitting pads of at least one charger in the charging station from the at least one charger; and
detecting one of a first charger having a preset priority among the at least one charger and the plurality of transmitting pads and a first transmitting pad connected to the first charger by comparing the pieces of sensing signal information.

Abstract
Provided are a method and an apparatus for detecting a charger for a designated vehicle based on the circumstances, such as the number of chargers, and to a method of operating the charger using the method or the apparatus. The method of detecting one of chargers and a transmitting pad connected to the chargers in a charging station in a charger detection apparatus loaded in a vehicle, comprises transmitting a detection inducing signal through a receiving pad for wireless charging loaded in the vehicle, receiving pieces of sensing signal information on the detection inducing signal received at a plurality of transmitting pads of at least one charger in the charging station from the at least one charger, and detecting one of a first charger having a preset priority among the at least one charger and the plurality of transmitting pads and a first transmitting pad connected to the first charger by comparing the pieces of sensing signal information.
