On the other hand, in using the additional communication module, when a method for securing one-to-one communication between the transmitter and receiver and a method of safely suspending communication the transmitter and receiver are separated may be a problem.
Hereinafter, in order to solve the foregoing problem, a method of allowing a wireless power transmitter according to an embodiment of the present disclosure to perform communication with an external material will be described.
At this time, prior to performing the communication, the transmission control unit 112 may first perform the process of detecting the type of the external material (S340). The process of detecting the type of the external material may be carried out similarly to the foregoing description.
When the external material is a receiver formed to receive wireless power, the transmission control unit 112 may control the wireless communication unit to perform communication prior to transmitting power to the receiver in a wireless manner.
In other words, a wireless power transmitter according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may carry out the process of transmitting communication information required to perform the communication to the receiver and predetermined power to the receiver (S341). Here, the communication information may be identification information (for example, SSID), security information and the like.
