METHOD FOR DETECTING FOREIGN MATERIAL, AND DEVICE AND SYSTEM THEREFOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18355909 titled 'METHOD FOR DETECTING FOREIGN MATERIAL, AND DEVICE AND SYSTEM THEREFOR

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for wireless power receivers to receive power from a wireless power transmitter.

  • The method involves transmitting multiple packets to the wireless power transmitter, including a foreign object detection (FOD) status packet.
  • The wireless power transmitter then sends a response signal indicating whether there is a foreign object present in the charging area.
  • The response signal is determined by comparing the measured peak frequency of the power signal transmitted by the wireless power transmitter with a reference peak frequency included in the FOD status packet received from the wireless power receiver.
  • Each packet consists of a preamble, a header, a message, and a checksum to identify any errors in the packet.
  • The header is used to identify the type of each packet.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method of receiving power by a wireless power receiver, the method including transmitting, to a wireless power transmitter, a plurality of packets including a foreign object detection (FOD) status packet; and receiving, from the wireless power transmitter, a response signal indicating whether a foreign object is present in a charging area of the wireless power transmitter, wherein the response signal is determined using a measured peak frequency of a power signal transmitted by the wireless power transmitter and a reference peak frequency included in the FOD status packet received from the wireless power receiver, wherein each of the plurality of packets includes a preamble, a header, a message, and a checksum for identifying whether an error occurs in each packet, and wherein the header is configured to identify a type of the each packet.
