POWER TRANSMISSION APPARATUS, POWER RECEIVING APPARATUS, WIRELESS POWER TRANSMISSION SYSTEM, AND CONTROL METHODS THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18333412 titled 'POWER TRANSMISSION APPARATUS, POWER RECEIVING APPARATUS, WIRELESS POWER TRANSMISSION SYSTEM, AND CONTROL METHODS THEREOF

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a power transmission apparatus that wirelessly transmits power to a power receiving apparatus. The apparatus includes authentication units to authenticate with the power supply and power receiving apparatus, and a control unit to negotiate transmission power based on the authentication results.

  • The power transmission apparatus wirelessly transfers power to a power receiving apparatus.
  • Device authentication is performed with both the power supply and power receiving apparatus.
  • The control unit adjusts the transmission power based on the authentication results.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in various industries and scenarios, including:

  • Electric vehicle charging: Wirelessly transmit power to electric vehicles without the need for physical connections.
  • Consumer electronics: Enable wireless charging for smartphones, tablets, and other portable devices.
  • Industrial automation: Power wireless sensors and devices in factories and manufacturing facilities.
  • Medical devices: Provide wireless power to medical implants and devices, eliminating the need for frequent battery replacements.

Problems Solved

The power transmission apparatus addresses several problems:

  • Eliminates the need for physical connections and cables, reducing clutter and improving convenience.
  • Enables efficient and convenient charging of devices without the need for direct contact.
  • Provides a secure authentication process to ensure only authorized devices receive power.
  • Allows for flexible power transmission based on the specific requirements of the receiving apparatus.

Benefits

The benefits of this power transmission apparatus include:

  • Improved convenience and flexibility in charging devices without the need for cables or connectors.
  • Enhanced safety by eliminating the risk of electric shock or damage caused by physical connections.
  • Efficient power transmission, minimizing energy loss during wireless power transfer.
  • Secure authentication process ensures only authorized devices can receive power.


Original Abstract Submitted

A power transmission apparatus that transmits power wirelessly to a power receiving apparatus by using power supplied from a power supply apparatus includes a first authentication unit configured to execute device authentication with the power supply apparatus, a second authentication unit configured to execute device authentication with the power receiving apparatus, and a control unit that performs negotiation related to transmission power with the power receiving apparatus based on a result of the device authentication by the first authentication unit and a result of the device authentication by the second authentication unit.
