1Productivity

If traditional power control methods are used in wireless power transmission, then the system is simpler to implement, but the charging speed and performance are suboptimal

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The power control process is divided into distinct phases: configuration phase for parameter negotiation, authentication phase for security verification, and power transfer phase for actual charging. This segmentation allows complex high-speed charging control to be broken down into manageable steps, improving charging performance while maintaining implementability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The configuration phase performs preliminary actions by negotiating and establishing power-related parameters before the actual power transfer begins. This preliminary setup enables optimized high-speed charging during the power transfer phase without requiring complex real-time adjustments, thus improving charging speed while keeping the control system structure clear.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements feedback mechanisms where the wireless power receiver sends status information (such as DSR/ACK, DSR/NAK, DSR/Not Defined) back to the transmitter to indicate charging stability. This feedback enables the transmitter to adjust power parameters dynamically, improving charging stability while managing communication overhead through structured response messages.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The configuration phase negotiates and establishes specific power-related parameters that optimize the power transfer process. By pre-defining these parameters based on device capabilities and charging requirements, the system achieves precise control and high stability without requiring continuous complex communication during power transfer.

Solution Approach 1:

The wireless power receiver performs multiple functions: it acts as a power receiving device, a communication device for exchanging configuration packets and status messages, and a monitoring device for tracking charging parameters. This multi-functionality enables comprehensive monitoring for high-speed charging without requiring separate dedicated components, thus improving charging speed while controlling system complexity.

AI summary

In a method, of the present specification, for controlling power-related parameters for fast charging in a wireless power transmission system, a wireless power receiver transmits, in a transmission phase, to a wireless power transmitter, a first request message for requesting state information about the wireless power transmitter. The wireless power receiver receives, from the wireless power transmitter, the state information about the wireless power transmitter. The wireless power receiver transmits, to the wireless power transmitter, a first response message for the state information about the wireless power transmitter. If the first response message is DSR/NCK, charging of the wireless power transmitter indicates an unstable state.
