Abstract

The present specification provides a method for performing wireless power reception by a wireless power receiver in a wireless power transmission system, and a device using the method, the method comprising: transmitting information related to a power transfer contract to a wireless power transmitter; generating the power transfer contract with the wireless power transmitter on the basis of the information; and receiving the wireless power from the wireless power transmitter on the basis of the power transfer contract, wherein the wireless power receiver transmits the information to the wireless power transmitter on the basis of an amplitude shift keying (ASK) signal, and the ASK signal is generated on the basis of an input signal based on pulse width modulation (PWM).

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for receiving a wireless power in a wireless power transfer system, the method performed by a wireless power receiver and comprising:
transmitting information related to a power transfer contract to a wireless power transmitter;
generating the power transfer contract with the wireless power transmitter based on the information; and
receiving the wireless power from the wireless power transmitter based on the power transfer contract,
wherein the wireless power receiver transmits the information to the wireless power transmitter based on an amplitude shift keying (ASK) signal, which is generated based on a pulse width modulation (PWM),
wherein the wireless power receiver controls the ASK signal based on adjusting a frequency or a phase of the PWM using power intensity or coupling degree, and
wherein the wireless power receiver increases modulation of the ASK signal based on that the power intensity or the coupling degree is low.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the wireless power receiver matches the phase with a phase of an input signal based on the PWM.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the wireless power receiver increases the frequency of an input signal based on the PWM.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the wireless power receiver reduces modulation of the ASK signal based on that the power intensity or the coupling degree is high.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the wireless power receiver matches the phase opposite to a phase of an input signal based on the PWM.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the wireless power receiver reduces the frequency of an input signal based on the PWM.

7. A wireless power receiver comprising:
a power pickup related to receiving wireless power from a wireless power transmitter; and
a communicator/controller related to communicating with the wireless power transmitter and controlling reception of the wireless power,
wherein the communicator/controller is configured to:
transmit information related to a power transfer contract to the wireless power transmitter;
generate the power transfer contract with the wireless power transmitter based on the information; and
receive the wireless power from the wireless power transmitter based on the power transfer contract,
wherein the wireless power receiver transmits the information to the wireless power transmitter based on an amplitude shift keying (ASK) signal, which is generated based on a pulse width modulation (PWM),
wherein the wireless power receiver controls the ASK signal based on adjusting a frequency or a phase of the PWM using power intensity or coupling degree, and
wherein the wireless power receiver increases modulation of the ASK signal based on that the power intensity or the coupling degree is low.

8. A method for transmitting a wireless power in a wireless power transfer system, the method performed by a wireless power transmitter and comprising:
receiving information related to a power transfer contract from a wireless power receiver;
generating the power transfer contract with the wireless power receiver based on the information; and
transmitting the wireless power to the wireless power receiver based on the power transfer contract,
wherein the wireless power transmitter receives the information from the wireless power receiver based on an amplitude shift keying (ASK) signal, which is generated based on a pulse width modulation (PWM),
wherein the ASK signal is controlled based on adjusting a frequency or a phase of the PWM using power intensity or coupling degree, and
wherein modulation of the ASK signal is increased based on that the power intensity or the coupling degree is low.
