The processor (404, 504) and the driving chip (405, 505, 505a, 505b) may control the operation of the charging device (400, 500, 600, 700, 800). The description of the processor (404, 504) and the driving chip (405, 505, 505a, 505b) can be substantially identical to the description of the processor (404, 504) and the driving chip (405, 505, 505a, 505b) described with reference to FIGS. 14, 23, and 24.

[0226] According to one embodiment, the processor (404, 504) can recognize an internal device (operation 9011). The internal device may be the first electronic device (390) described with reference to FIGS. 6 to 42. The processor (404, 504) can recognize the internal device based on a signal generated from a radiator (e.g., radiator (403) of FIG. 6) and reflected back to the first electronic device (390). When the internal device is recognized, the processor (404, 504) can transmit a first charging signal to the drive chip (405, 505, 505a, 505b) (operation 9012).

[0227] According to one embodiment, when the driving chip (405, 505, 505a, 505b) receives a first charging signal, it can transmit current to a first coil (e.g., the first coil (421, 521, 621, 721) of FIGS. 6 to 42). The first coil (421, 521, 621, 721) can generate a magnetic field toward the first electronic device (390) and resonate at a first frequency (operation 9013). The first electronic device (390) can be charged by resonating at the first frequency by the magnetic field generated by the first coil (421, 521, 621, 721) (operation 9014).

[0228] In one embodiment, the processor (404, 504) can determine the removal status of the internal device (operation 9015). For example, the processor (404, 504) can recognize the removal status of the internal device based on a signal generated from a radiator (e.g., radiator (403) of FIG. 6) and reflected back to the first electronic device (390). When the internal device is removed, the processor (404, 504) can stop transmitting the first charging signal to the drive chip (405, 505, 505a, 505b).

[0229] In one embodiment, the processor (404, 504) may compare the charge amount of the first electronic device (390) with a set first reference value (operation 9016). When the charge amount of the first electronic device (390) is greater than the first reference value, the processor (404, 504) may stop transmitting the first charge signal to the drive chip (405, 505, 505a, 505b).

[0230] In one embodiment, the processor (404, 504) can recognize an external device (operation 9021). For example, the external device may be the second electronic device (391) described with reference to FIGS. 6 to 42. For example, the processor (404, 504) can recognize the external device based on a signal generated from a radiator (e.g., radiator (403) of FIG. 6) and reflected back to the second electronic device (391). When the external device is recognized, the processor (404, 504) can transmit a second charging signal to the drive chip (405, 505, 505a, 505b) (operation 9022).

[0231] According to one embodiment, when the drive chip (405, 505, 505a, 505b) receives a second charging signal, it can transmit current to a second coil (e.g., the second coil (422, 522, 622, 722) of FIGS. 6 to 42). The second coil (422, 522, 622, 722) can generate a magnetic field toward the second electronic device (391) and resonate at a second frequency (operation 9023). The second electronic device (391) can be charged by resonating at the second frequency by the magnetic field generated by the second coil (422, 522, 622, 722) (operation 9024).

[0232] In one embodiment, the processor (404, 504) can determine whether the external device has been removed (operation 9025). For example, the processor (404, 504) can recognize the removal state of the external device based on a signal generated from a radiator (e.g., radiator (403) of FIG. 6) and reflected back to the second electronic device (391). When the external device has been removed, the processor (404, 504) can stop transmitting the second charging signal to the drive chip (405, 505, 505a, 505b).

[0233] In one embodiment, the processor (404, 504) may compare the charge amount of the second electronic device (391) with a set second reference value (operation 9026). When the charge amount of the second electronic device (391) is greater than the second reference value, the processor (404, 504) may stop transmitting the second charge signal to the drive chip (405, 505, 505a, 505b).
