Detecting an object on a wireless charging device
First Claim
1. A power transmitting device comprising:
- one or more coils;
at least one memory that stores computer-executable instructions; and
at least one processor configured to access the at least one memory, wherein the at least one processor is configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to;
cause to send to a first device a first load measurement request at a first instance and a second load measurement request at a second instance;
receive a first load measurement associated with the first load measurement request and a second load measurement associated with the second load measurement request;
determine a first average measurement of the first load measurement and the second load measurement;
cause to send to a second device a third load measurement request at a third instance and a fourth load measurement request at a fourth instance;
receive a third load measurement associated with the third load measurement request and a fourth load measurement associated with the fourth load measurement request;
determine a second average measurement of the third load measurement and the fourth load measurement;
perform a load measurement of the one or more coils of the power transmitting device; and
determine a presence of one or more rogue devices based at least in part on a comparison of the load measurement and an aggregate of the first average measurement and the second average measurement.

Abstract
A power transmitting device is disclosed comprising: one or more coils; at least one memory that stores computer-executable instructions; and at least one processor configured to access the at least one memory. The at least one processor may be configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to: cause to send to a first device a first load measurement request at a first instance and a second load measurement request at a second instance. The computer-executable instructions may cause the processor to receive a first load measurement associated with the first load measurement request and a second load measurement associated with the second load measurement request. The computer-executable instructions may cause the processor to determine a first average measurement of the first load measurement and the second load measurement. The computer-executable instructions may cause the processor to send to a second device a third load measurement request at a third instance and a fourth load measurement request at a fourth instance. The computer-executable instructions may cause the processor to receive a third load measurement associated with the third load measurement request and a fourth load measurement associated with the fourth load measurement request. The computer-executable instructions may cause the processor to determine a second average measurement of the third load measurement and the fourth load measurement. The computer-executable instructions may cause the processor to perform a load measurement of the one or more coils of the power transmitting device. The computer-executable instructions may cause the processor to determine a presence of one or more rogue devices based at least in part on a comparison of the load measurement and an aggregate of the first average measurement and the second average measurement.

7. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
-
performing a load measurement of one or more coils of a power transmitting unit (PTU) after a timer expires; causing to send a first message including a first timer, to a first device of one or more devices associated with the PTU; causing to send a first measurement request message within a predetermined interval to the first device; causing to send a second message including a second timer, to a second device of the one or more devices associated with the PTU; causing to send a second measurement request message within the predetermined interval to the second device; receiving a first measurement response message including a first load measurement performed after the first timer expires; receiving a second measurement response message including a second load measurement performed after the second timer expires; and determining a presence of a rogue device based at least in part on the load measurement, the first load measurement and the second load measurement. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)
