WIRELESS POWER TRANSMITTER, WIRELESS POWER RECEIVER, AND CONTROL METHODS THEREOF
First Claim
1. A wireless power transmitter comprising:
- a Near-Field Communication (NFC) antenna for NFC;
a power supply;
a NFC module;
a resonator that wirelessly transmits power to a wireless power receiver; and
a controller that;
controls the power supply to apply a beacon power for detecting an impedance change that is caused by placement of the wireless power receiver on the wireless power transmitter, to the resonator during a first time period, andcontrols the NFC module to apply NFC tag detection power to the NFC antenna during a second time period.
