1. A transmission apparatus for adjusting charging power of a wireless power receiver, the transmission apparatus comprising:
- a power supply unit which outputs power; and
a transmission controller which receives a signal for requesting wireless power from at least one wireless power receiver, calculates a sum of required amount of the wireless power of the at least one wireless power receiver, when the calculated sum exceeds maximum amount of supplied wireless power capable of being supplied by the transmission apparatus, transmits a request for adjusting required amount of the wireless power to the at least one wireless power receiver, and when a signal for requesting wireless power corresponding to adjusted amount from the at least one wireless power receiver is received, transmits the wireless power corresponding to the adjusted amount to the at least one wireless power receiver.

Abstract
In an apparatus for adjusting charging power of a wireless power receiver, when one or more wireless power receivers require charging, it is determined whether the sum of required charging powers required by the one or more wireless power receivers exceeds maximum supplied power provided by a wireless power transmitter. When a result indicates that the sum exceeds the maximum supplied power, a control operation is performed to adjust the required charging power of each wireless power receiver. Therefore, it is possible to wirelessly charge each wireless power receiver without interruption.
