Abstract

A synchronous data transmitting method includes receiving, by a supplying-end module, a plurality of data impulses of power transmitting signal according to a first operating clock of a microprocessor in supplying-end module, for generating a plurality of data frames, wherein the plurality of data impulses is transmitted by receiving-end module according to a second operating clock of microprocessor in receiving-end module; calculating time periods between data impulses corresponding to start bits of the plurality of data frames, for acquiring a plurality of data frame periods; comparing the plurality of data frame periods with a data frame time period, for synchronizing the first operating clock and the second operating clock; and turning on a receiving function of the supplying-end module in a plurality of receiving periods and turning off the receiving function in a plurality of closed periods, wherein the plurality of receiving periods corresponds to the plurality of data impulses.

Claims

1. A synchronous data transmitting method for an induction type power supply system, comprising:

receiving, by a supplying-end module of the induction type power supply system, a plurality of data impulses of a power transmitting signal according to a first operating clock of a microprocessor in the supplying-end module, for generating a plurality of data frames, wherein the plurality of data impulses is transmitted by a receiving-end module according to a second operating clock of a microprocessor in a receiving-end module of the induction type power supply system;

calculating time periods between data impulses corresponding to start bits of the plurality of data frames, for acquiring a plurality of data frame periods;

comparing the plurality of data frame periods with a data frame time period, for synchronizing the first operating clock and the second operating clock; and

turning on a receiving function of the supplying-end module in a plurality of receiving periods and turning off the receiving function in a plurality of closed periods, wherein the plurality of receiving periods corresponds to the plurality of data impulses.

2. The synchronous data transmitting method of claim 1, wherein the step of comparing the plurality of data frame periods with the data frame time period, for synchronizing the first operating clock and the second operating clock comprises:

speeding up the first operating clock when a first data frame period of the plurality of data frame periods is greater than a data frame time threshold.

3. The synchronous data transmitting method of claim 1, wherein the step of comparing the plurality of data frame periods with the data frame time period, for synchronizing the first operating clock and the second operating clock comprises:

slowing the first operating clock when a first data frame period of the plurality of data frame periods is smaller than a data frame time threshold.

4. The synchronous data transmitting method of claim 1, wherein the step of turning on the receiving function of the supplying-end module in the plurality of receiving periods and turning off the receiving function in the plurality of closed periods comprises:

reducing a power of the power transmitting signal, by the supplying-end module, in the plurality of receiving periods.

5. The synchronous data transmitting method of claim 1, wherein the step of turning on the receiving function of the supplying-end module in the plurality of receiving periods and turning off the receiving function in the plurality of closed periods comprises:

increasing a power of the power transmitting signal, by the supplying-end module, in the plurality of closed periods.
