First Claim
1. A wireless power transmitting apparatus, the apparatus comprising:
- a power transmitter having a plurality of power transmitting elements; and
a controller configured to;
control to detect a first target device configured to receive wireless power,control to receive information on an amount of power required by the first target device and location information of the first target device from the first target device,control to select at least one of first power transmitting element from the plurality of power transmitting elements, based on at least one of the amount of power required by the first target device and the location information of the first target device, andcontrol the power transmitter to transmit wireless power corresponding to the amount of power required by the first target device via the selected at least one of first power transmitting element to the first target device.
