APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR SUPPORTING HETEROGENEOUS COMMUNICATION IN WIRELESS POWER TRANSMISSION SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18217137 Titled 'APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR SUPPORTING HETEROGENEOUS COMMUNICATION IN WIRELESS POWER TRANSMISSION SYSTEM'
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an apparatus and method for transferring communication between different methods. This includes a wireless power transmission apparatus and reception apparatus that can indicate if they support out-band communication. The transmission apparatus can request a handover using a specific bit pattern. The handover can occur during a negotiation phase or a separate handover phase. Information for establishing an out-band communication connection can be transmitted from the reception apparatus to the transmission apparatus through in-band communication. Even after the handover, periodic in-band communication can be performed to detect any changes in the reception apparatus.
Original Abstract Submitted
An apparatus and a method for performing handover between heterogeneous communication methods. A wireless power transmission apparatus and reception apparatus can indicate whether to support out-band communication thereof on the basis of an out-band flag. The wireless power transmission apparatus can request the wireless power reception apparatus to start a handover by using a bit pattern requesting the handover. The handover procedure to out-band may be performed in a negotiation phase or may be performed in a separate handover phase. Information for establishing an out-band communication connection can be transmitted from the wireless power reception apparatus to the wireless power transmission apparatus through in-band communication. Also, even after the handover to the out-band is completed, it is possible to periodically or intermittently perform the in-band communication in a power transmission phase to detect a swap of the wireless power reception apparatus.
