Application: Power receiving apparatus, power transmitting apparatus, control methods thereof, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium (Patent ID: US20230412008A1)
The patent filed by Canon Inc. describes a power receiving apparatus that communicates with a power transmitting apparatus through two communication units, one at a standard speed and the other at a higher speed. The apparatus determines if the power transmitting apparatus can perform device authentication using the higher speed communication unit and enables it if necessary. The invention aims to improve the efficiency and security of wireless power transmission by facilitating authentication between devices.
The patent includes claims for a power receiving apparatus, a power transmitting apparatus, and communication methods for both. These claims outline the process of wirelessly receiving/transmitting power, exchanging identification and configuration information at different frequencies, and determining the ability to perform authentication using a separate frequency. By detailing the specific functions and interactions between the power receiving and transmitting apparatus, the patent seeks to establish a standardized and secure method for wireless power transmission with enhanced communication capabilities.
