Abstract
The present invention relates to a wireless charging method, and an apparatus and a system therefor. A wireless charging method in a wireless power transmitter, according to an embodiment of the present invention, may comprise the steps of: controlling transmission power on the basis feedback signal periodically received from wireless power receiver during power transmission; determining whether or not the wireless power receiver is present in a charging area during the power transmission; and maintaining the intensity of the transmission power constant if the result of the determination shows that the wireless power receiver is not present in the charging area. Therefore, the present invention is advantageous that it is possible to prevent, in advance, the power transmission from being unnecessarily stopped against a user'"'"'s intention.
