Apparatus and method for providing compatibility in wireless power transmission system
First Claim
1. A method performed by a wireless power transmitting device in a wireless power transmission system, the method comprising:
- receiving a communication from a wireless power receiving device;
determining, by the wireless power transmitting device, an operational version of a standard technical specification supported by the wireless power receiving device based, at least in part, on whether the communication received from the wireless power receiving device includes a version field, wherein the operational version is a first version of the standard technical specification when the communication does not include the version field, and wherein the operational version is determined by the version field when the communication does include the version field; and
performing a wireless power transmitting operation according to the operational version of the standard technical specification supported by the wireless power receiving device.
