POWER TRANSMISSION APPARATUS AND POWER RECEPTION APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18523733 titled 'POWER TRANSMISSION APPARATUS AND POWER RECEPTION APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a power transmission apparatus that wirelessly transmits power to a power reception apparatus while also transmitting a signal containing information to identify the presence probability of a foreign object near the power reception apparatus.
- The power transmission apparatus sends information to the power reception apparatus to determine the presence probability of a foreign object.
- If the presence probability of the foreign object is below a certain threshold, the power transmission apparatus also sends information requesting a process to reacquire a parameter used to determine the presence probability of the foreign object.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in wireless charging systems, robotics, and smart home devices to improve safety and efficiency.
Problems Solved
This technology helps prevent accidents and damage by identifying the presence of foreign objects near power reception apparatuses.
Benefits
The technology enhances the safety and reliability of power transmission systems by detecting foreign objects and taking appropriate actions.
Potential Commercial Applications
Potential commercial applications include wireless charging stations, industrial automation systems, and smart appliances.
Possible Prior Art
Prior art may include similar systems for detecting foreign objects in proximity to power transmission devices, such as sensors and detectors used in industrial settings.
Unanswered Questions
How does the power transmission apparatus determine the presence probability of a foreign object?
The abstract does not provide details on the specific method or technology used to calculate the presence probability of a foreign object.
The abstract does not specify the nature of the processes requested by the power transmission apparatus for reacquiring parameters.
Original Abstract Submitted
A power transmission apparatus wirelessly transmits power to a power reception apparatus, transmits a signal including information for use in identification of the presence probability of a foreign object to the power reception apparatus. In a case where the presence probability of the foreign object is smaller than a threshold, the power transmission apparatus transmits information for use in identification of the presence probability of the foreign object and information about a request for a process related to reacquisition of a parameter to be used to determine a presence probability of the foreign object, and in a case where the presence probability of the foreign object is greater than the threshold, the power transmission apparatus transmits information for use in identification of the presence probability of the foreign object without the information about a request for the process related to reacquisition of the parameter.
