Wireless power transmission system, and method for controlling wireless power transmission and wireless power reception
First Claim
1. A method for controlling a wireless power transmission, the method comprising:
- detecting a plurality of target devices used to wirelessly receive power;
selecting a source resonating unit from among a plurality of source resonating units, based on the amount of power to be transmitted to one or more of the plurality of target devices, a coupling factor associated with one or more of the plurality of target devices, or both; and
wirelessly transmitting power to a target device using the selected source resonating unit.
