ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR WIRELESSLY TRANSMITTING POWER INCLUDING A PLURALITY OF COILS, AND METHOD OF OPERATING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18364403 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR WIRELESSLY TRANSMITTING POWER INCLUDING A PLURALITY OF COILS, AND METHOD OF OPERATING THE SAME
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an electronic device for wirelessly transmitting power, which includes resonators, coils, an impedance matching circuit, and a controller.
- The device has a first resonator with a first coil and a second resonator with a second coil of a different size.
- An impedance matching circuit with at least one capacitor connected through a switch is included in the device.
- The controller can identify whether power is to be transmitted to a first electronic device not mounted on the device or a second electronic device mounted on the device.
- When power is to be transmitted to the first electronic device, the controller opens the switch to transmit power through the first resonator.
- When power is to be transmitted to the second electronic device, the controller closes the switch to transmit power through the second resonator.
Potential Applications:
- Wireless charging of electronic devices
- Power transmission in IoT devices
- Powering sensors and actuators in smart home systems
Problems Solved:
- Eliminates the need for physical connections for power transmission
- Enables convenient and efficient charging of multiple devices simultaneously
- Reduces clutter and simplifies the charging process
Benefits:
- Increased convenience for users
- Enhanced flexibility in device placement
- Improved reliability and durability of power transmission systems
Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device for wirelessly transmitting power may include a first resonator including a first coil, a second resonator including a second coil having a different size from the first coil, an impedance matching circuit including at least one capacitor connected through a switch, and a controller. The controller may be configured to identify which one of a first electronic device not mounted on the electronic device and a second electronic device mounted on the electronic device power is to be transmitted to. The controller may be configured to, when power is to be transmitted to the first electronic device, transmit power through the first resonator by opening the switch. The controller may be configured to, when power is to be transmitted to the second electronic device, transmit power through the second resonator by closing the switch.
