Abstract

A wireless charging method and a wireless charging system are provided. The wireless charging system includes plural wireless power transmitting devices and a wireless power receiving device. The plural wireless power transmitting devices generate plural energy fields. The energy fields contain plural identification signals, respectively. After the identification signals are decoded, the wireless power receiving device recognizes the plural wireless power transmitting devices corresponding to the plural identification signals. The wireless power receiving device is in wireless connection with the most appropriate wireless power transmitting device to perform the wireless charging task. Consequently, the wireless charging efficiency is enhanced.
