Abstract

A power transmitting apparatus, a power receiving apparatus, and methods thereof are provided, which can make a certain amount of power, that is set by the transmitting apparatus or the receiving apparatus, be transmitted and received in transmitting and receiving the power by wire or wirelessly between the apparatuses. The power transmitting apparatus includes a power transmitting unit configured to transmit power of a provided battery to a power receiving apparatus; a confirmation unit configured to confirm at least one of a residual amount of the battery, a transmitted amount of the power, an amount of power that is received by the power receiving apparatus, a charge amount of the power receiving apparatus, and an accumulated time for which the power is being transmitted; and a control unit configured to control transmission of the power through comparison of the result of the confirmation with a predetermined threshold value.

Claims

1. A power transmitting apparatus comprising:

a power transmitting unit configured to transmit power of a provided battery to a power receiving apparatus;

a confirmation unit configured to confirm an accumulated time for which the power of the provided battery is being transmitted;

a control unit configured to control transmission of the power through comparison of the accumulated time with a predetermined threshold value; and

a display unit configured to display the accumulated time for which the power is being transmitted, wherein the confirmation unit is further configured to confirm at least one of a residual amount of the battery, a transmitted amount of the power, an amount of power that is received by the power receiving apparatus, and a charge amount of the power receiving apparatus, and wherein the display unit is further configured to display at least one of the residual amount of the battery, the transmitted amount of the power, the amount of the power that is received by the power receiving apparatus, the charge amount of the power receiving apparatus, and a ratio of the result of the confirmation to the threshold value.

2. The power transmitting apparatus of claim 1, wherein the power transmitting unit transmits the power of the battery to the power receiving apparatus by wire or wirelessly.

3. The power transmitting apparatus of claim 1, wherein the threshold value is a value input by a user, a pre-stored value, or a value received from the power receiving apparatus.

4. A power receiving apparatus comprising:

a power receiving unit configured to receive power from a power transmitting apparatus and charging a battery provided therein;

a confirmation unit configured to confirm an accumulated time for which the power from the power transmitting apparatus is being received;

a control unit configured to control reception of the power through comparison of the accumulated time with a predetermined threshold value; and

a display unit configured to display the accumulated time for which the power is being received, wherein the confirmation unit is further configured to confirm at least one of a residual amount of the battery, a received amount of the power, an amount of power that is transmitted by the power transmitting apparatus, and a residual amount of a battery of the power transmitting apparatus, and wherein the display unit is further configured to display at least one of the residual amount of the battery, the received amount of the power, the amount of the power that is transmitted by the power transmitting apparatus, the residual amount of the battery of the power transmitting apparatus, and a ratio of the result of the confirmation to the threshold value.

5. The power receiving apparatus of claim 4, wherein the power receiving unit receives the power from the power transmitting apparatus by wire or wirelessly.

6. The power receiving apparatus of claim 4, wherein the threshold value is a value input by a user, a pre-stored value, or a value received from the power transmitting apparatus.

7. A power transmitting method comprising:

transmitting power of a provided battery to a power receiving apparatus;

confirming an accumulated time for which the power of the provided battery is being transmitted;

controlling transmission of the power through comparison of the accumulated time with a predetermined threshold value; and

displaying the accumulated time for which the power is being transmitted, confirming at least one of a residual amount of the battery, a transmitted amount of the power, an amount of power that is received by the power receiving apparatus, and a charge amount of the power receiving apparatus; and

displaying at least one of the residual amount of the battery, the transmitted amount of the power, the amount of the power that is received by the power receiving apparatus, the charge amount of the power receiving apparatus, and a ratio of the result of the confirmation to the threshold value.

8. The power transmitting method of claim 7, wherein the transmitting the power comprises transmitting the power of the battery to the power receiving apparatus by wire or wirelessly.

9. The power transmitting method of claim 7, wherein the threshold value is a value input by a user, a pre-stored value, or a value received from the power receiving apparatus.

10. A power receiving method comprising:

receiving power from a power transmitting apparatus;

charging a provided battery with the received power;

confirming an accumulated time for which the power from the power transmitting apparatus is being received;

controlling reception of the power through comparison of the accumulated time with a predetermined threshold value;

displaying the accumulated time for which the power is being received, confirming at least one of a residual amount of the battery, a received amount of the power, an amount of power that is transmitted by the power transmitting apparatus, a residual amount of a battery of the power transmitting apparatus; and

displaying at least one of the residual amount of the battery, the received amount of the power, the amount of the power that is transmitted by the power transmitting apparatus, the residual amount of the battery of the power transmitting apparatus, and a ratio of the result of the confirmation to the threshold value.

11. The power receiving method of claim 10, wherein the receiving the power comprises receiving the power from the power transmitting apparatus by wire or wirelessly.

12. The power receiving method of claim 10, wherein the threshold value is a value input by a user, a pre-stored value, or a value received from the power transmitting apparatus.
